included and not included and it's very disturbing that yesterday we had a member of our committee blind sided us what a proposed amendment. the preservation system handled it embrace fully but they recognized it's not a part of our process and it could have been. so i understand there maybe an amendment submitted asking this committee to accept an endorsement or support of the s public works resolution. i would ask you not to include that because what happened there greatly disrespected the process you that asked us to have and we feel is important to have. it's so important going forward that the community can trust one another and know we're working together and the city agencies who we come before and ask for support and approval support the kind of work we do and hold us to the highest standards and make us live up to your expectations and don't allow others to undermine us. there maybe other parts of the content we don't dispute but the process was entirely wrong. you've heard from all those folks here how much they have felt this process has worked on many levels bringing the community tog

the inconsistency of republicans shouldn't blind us to the fact that others in the gop are taking courageous risks to avoid paralyzing the president. david, will he get the votes? >> he might in the end. i think the house is going to be a really tough sell. i think the president needs to broaden what he's saying there and give a credible strategy in the region. the strikes aren't going to aufl it. americans are smart, they know that. arm the rebels and talk to iran. i know the president can't say that publicly. iran is the key backer of assad. the president wants a diplomatic solution, he doesn't want a collapsing syria. make a deal with the russians and iranians and try to ease out assad, but just lay out a broader strategy about why this matters and what are we doing in the middle east? what is the future american role? he has to talk about these bigger issues. if not, people won't buy it. >> and anecdotally people are talking about this and not just here in new york and not just washington, d.c. i hear from family and friends elsewhere in the country. people are engaged in this and you se

i think it's blinding us the change in health care that has occurred since the first assumptions that guide our system and many other systems became conventional wisdom. the second, unfortunately, more briefly, i think what we can do about it to going fix these problems. to me, the answer to the question of why health care in this country is so expensive, so wasteful, at the same time so often unavailable to people who need it, so unsafe, and delivers such unbelievably bad customer services we don't think of it is customer service. is really the punchline to a number ofoff-color jokes i won't tell. but the punchline is because they can. to me it's the fundamentally important thing to understand about health care is that nobody else in any other service who are trying to get your business can get away with this. they can't. someone will take your business from them. that's not the case in health care. in health care, we built a system that has the most perverse. it's the more care of a good care. more expensive care over less expensive care. and less investment in the kind of things th

there are very few people who still regularly call us and mainly people who are blind and deaf. those are our tty users and we have a public paid tty in our main library. we have a videophone in the booth in the deaf services center. we have video phones for our deaf staff members and people call us using those very frequently. realtime captioning can be providing for any of our programs upon request and sign language interpreters available upon request. it says would you like to have access to san francisco's public services, let us know. we hope people are not feeling they are limited to only services indicated by icons on the sign. hope this will open to ask whatever accommodations they have. or they have need for. the san francisco public library has 27 accessible buildings including the main library. we have one branch library that is still not fully accessible that's our north beach branch. because that's true, we offer all public programs offered by that librarian in the george demaggio house. a $5.9 million fund was funded in 2000. this effort included renovation of 16 b

this is the first developer that has just turned a blind eye to us. five stories and the building is taller than his. on a 25-foot lot is just not right for our neighborhood. it belongs in south of market and it will set a precedent to change the neighborhood to what it is to a concrete jungle and so i urge and and i don't know in the old days, 1987, the planning commission would do a site visit on the houses across the street from this one where the developer wanted a 12 unit condo, and discretion review allowed three single family houses that now go down the hill and are all owned by the original owners, so one turned over this year because of a divorce, this is a speculator and he is not building it for himself. we are a neighborhood and 350 signatures must show how adomant we are opposed a 4 story building will still give him a huge profit. if you have not come to look at our neighborhood, then come and actually look at the neighborhood, and this is a concrete jungle that we don't need. thank you. >> brian stecland? >> next speaker. >> hi my name

one of my favorite uses of this machine was by a person who was deaf and blind who was coming in weekly to make shopping list. so he could type out his list emboss a copy so he knew that he included everything he wanted to shop for and there is a conventional printer there and he printed out a shopping list for every person. it was so much fun to watch him using this machine because deaf and blind, you know, he was flying through the internet and making documents and it was all a mystery to me. i just couldn't see how he was doing it. he was very good at it. there also is a picture of a cctv on here. we have cctv's in the library for the blind and print disability on the 4th and 5th floor. these are machines where you put a document on the table and they can enlarge it and have it, actually the one in the picture is scroll text. it's a really slick machine. also in our library for the print disabled is a program called friends for life. it began in a community for people with hiv, aids, it's one for one living service. we have volunteers that bring materials to people's homes but thankf

we should not let the past blindness or tether us to not looking coldly and soberly at the threats as they are today. what the report concludes, and i think is definitely the case, is no al qaeda threat is ever completely localized print it is has always transformed itself into a regional threat and spread into surrounding countries. a year ago, we would have talked about boko haram in nigeria. many al qaeda threats have gone beyond regional to international. just this past summer, we see -- our 19re of error 19 embassiesembassies and consulates because of a threat from al qaeda in the arabian and samoa -- in the arabian peninsula.we thought that was a local threat. this continues to develop while we are enmeshed in taking over -- while it is. enmeshed in taking over parts of yemen. al qaeda has greater ambitions to attack the west, particularly the united states. syria, because of its geographical situation, the crossroads of the middle east and europe because of its contiguous borders with three of our closest allies, turkey, israel, and jordan, means that whatever baggage we have f
