i am appearing as pro bono council on this matter. before the clock starts on my three minutes, i want to respectfully request a minute to explain why i would like to request a continuance. i am not sure what the proper procedure for that is. it would take a bit of time for me to request that you continue it. i just got involved in this case last week. president goh: you can have one minute to argue. >> thank you. commissioners, as i mentioned, i met the appellants for the first time last week. i have not had the time to fully prepared to argue the merits of my client's request for hearing. with an attempt to persuasively argue my case in three minutes this evening, i respectfully request to continue this matter and allow me to file a brief addressing the underlying legal and factual issues that would merit a rehearing. contrary to bay drug counsil's assertion, appellants were only represented for a month in april and may of last year. that attorney never filed any breaks in the case. rather, his work was limited to a few e-mails and

lastly, convincing council to act pro bono is a difficult hurdle. it is much more difficult than paying council. i have much sympathy for the community in convincing a lawyer to represent them on a pro bono matter. i have sympathy for the time that this took. >> shall we call the roll? >> on that motion from president goh to reschedule the matter for march 9, a briefing at the five pages -- commissioner fung: aye. vice president garcia: aye. commissioner peterson: aye. >> the boat is 4-0. the matter is rescheduled to march 9. >> thank you. >> when you are ready, give the room a minute to clear. please leave the room as quickly as you can so we can move on to our next item. vice president garcia: -- president goh: dbi and planning get to leave, because it is all taxi. >> i think you can call item six now. the room is clearing. >> : item six, appeal 10-135, makanna askandafi doing business as pearl market versus the department of public health, appealing a 45 days suspension of a tobacco product sales establishment permit. the reason for suspension --

this next song was written by bono. that's another irish guy who writes stuff.of bono, you think of a rock band, and sometimes singers back off singing that kind of rock music. as a singer, i think you must sing everything, so it should span all the elements of rock, opera, classical, you name it. and you're going to hear that. believe me, we're going to take you on such a journey you will not imagine in your wildest dreams that a big 270 pound, raw beef man, bald hair, and a beautiful pair of ears is going to give you this experience. just thought i'd add that in. so, this song is for the ladies, and i picked it because i think it has great sentiment. we've put a different feeling to it. i hope you enjoy it. it's called "all i want is you." ♪ you say you want diamonds on a ring of gold you say you want your story to remain untold but all the promises we make, from the cradle to the grave when all i want is you you say you'll give me a highway with no one on it treasure, just to look upon it all the riches in the night you say you'll give me eyes in the moon of

still mediated 63 cases by pro bono mediators. these 63 represent one investigator's case load. mediating a case involves time savings, cost savings, and greater satisfaction for complainants and officers. over 90% of officers participate in the mediation program. just in looking at the time savings, the number is 98 days as compared to 166 days. donna also managed the o.c.c. out-reach program. because investigators were not able to attend as many out-reach programs as they had in recent years, ms. salazar attended many on her own. in addition, o.c.c.'s staff aparticipated in community presentations, language access, training for the department on the o.c.c., and nacole presentations. an investigator for the o.c.c. gave or moderated three presentations on investigations. ms. marion developed a policy on -- panel on policy matters, and the panel con sifted of a representative from canada as well as idaho. moving to information technology, which is handled by mr. wicznewski, as i told you before, we are a data-organized system. we are strategically run by managing our caseload, an

i am pro bono for 12 years. my daughters are in college. they were not even in school when this began. this is a historic district with an 1876 building. supervisor campos: thank you. president chiu: any additional questions to any of the parties? this hearing has been held and closed. items 14 through 16 are now in the hands of the board. discussion? supervisor farrell: thank you to everyone for coming today, in particular the appellant, mr. butler, the project sponsor, and the planning department. thank you for all your hard work on this project. i have to say i have been impressed by the enthusiasm on both sides of this issue. colleagues, given that 1269 lombard street is in district two, i have spent a good deal of time reviewing the project, meeting with the planning department and project sponsor, to understand all the issues. what we have before us is a request to overturn the planning department ruling on the cadx. at this point, the project has been in front of the planning commission, the historic preservation commission, the boar

we gave them classes, pro-bono from psyche emergency where i worked on how to deal with 6 c1 worked on how to deal with mental health patients who are out of control. and in answer to dr. marshall's questions, very briefly, there are de-escalation techniques that i believe the memphis police use, they just maybe can't articulate what you want to hear. i can give you a couple examples. most paranoid schizophrenic patients are off their meds and they are scared out of their minds. they are hearing voices. they think the police are coming to get them. just as they do in psyche emergency. so instead of saying, ok put the knife down. what we in psyche emergency would do is hey, you look really upset. can i help? your mom called and said that you've been talking to yourself and busting up the room. what's going on? so instead of moving in when there is no imminent danger, psychiatric nurses move back. that is just one de-escalation technique. you show empathy. what we teach, and i'm head of the program now, is called s.m.a.r.t. training, which is ironic. safety management and response techni

governorships they control big politicians it was really quite different i recorded the deathbed statement pro bono or imperial officer a doctored president warren harding and to the klan and the ceremony in the green room of the white house. and said he was so nervous that he forgot about the left in the car and the president harding had to stand for the white house bible as a token of appreciation president harding gave all the members a license to so they could run red lights without being told. the new step and really was one of the pioneers and getting the klan to lose credibility on the national stage and on making this an acceptable behavior that people who are in politics and then the police and whatever they should not be part of this method actually of terrorism. when the civil rights movement essentially was successful the klan really did fade away. what they call the fourth era klan when it came back was the clan of david duke which peers in the late seventy's and really david duke was all about the idea of kind of let's get rid of the ropes let's put on business suits let's hold meetin

lawyer, said there is one woman who is a prostitute, and she had a lawyer who keeps doing her case pro bono. she keeps getting arrested for prostitution, and each time he tried to get her help, but when no one was looking, that is when the worst thing happened. there is a guy who is the town drunk, and his name is john casey. i met him, and he was drinking an enormous 10 of the year. it was of vero -- enormous can of beer. it was unfaia barrel. he was thrown into jail. casey walked back into the court and says, what happened to my case? the judge says, you pleaded guilty. casey walks out. people ask me, when do you think is the worst case of ordinary justice then clearly when people spend decades in prison, those kilmeade. to be innocent in prison and to have a community who thought -- those kilmeadl me. to be innocent in prison and to have a community who thought you were guilty, but there was this guy, and no one stood up. there was a line of public defenders in the first row who could have said, where is jon casey? nobody stood up, and that is one of the problems of ordinary injustice. t

a pro bono project we did in collaboration with equity community builders in the presidio was again tax-credit- driven. interesting use of public land for education. washington, i'm sure you would rather we skip right over. $350 million project. six years, nearly $30 million in entitlement costs, but i do want to say we are within $1 million of budget. just to emphasize we know what it takes to get entitlements in this town. lots of public use. state lands very complex, relative to pier 70. hear, swapping public land for private land. and having a lot of fun getting the entitlements. just a little bit of what we have done, as individuals. i spent 10 years of my life doing that. the director understands the nuances of waterfront. i did mention bogus lend lease, which is construction manager on pier 70. 38 would be working for us for several years on a concept on the. little vignettes of photographs. this is just a scale. these are done as individuals, not as specific waterfront innovation at the federal reserve hotel. the ferry building, the cruise terminal, the presidio. i said i would get her

setting, the concentration of global rock stars, including the three bs: bill clinton, bill gates, and bono. this year, something else made it seem out of touch with reality-- the almost complete lack of panel discussions on the rolling revolts in north africa and the middle east. none had been planned. here was the world's premiere gathering of risk managers of all sorts-- bankers, diplomats, consultants, policy analysts. but none foresaw the events that are now roiling markets and upsetting the established political and economic order. instead, there were plenty of talks about how to prevent the next banking crisis or the next ireland. and this isn't new. in january 2008, when sub-prime first exploded, davos man was similarly caught unawares. global risk managers, it seems, always prepare for the last big debacle. so my big takeaway from davos 2011? when it comes to figuring out where the next big risk lies, the rich and powerful are rather poor and impotent. i'm daniel gross. >> susie: and finally tonight-- pretzels, peanuts, and facebook? starting today, seven major airlines are offerin
