record highs today, and we'll see them tomorrow, burt it -- but it will be windy in the upper elevationsthen it's dry all week. a little chance of rain next weekend but not until saturday. here's a wind advisory in effect until tomorrow morning. winds from the north, 25-30-miles-an-hour in the higher elevations, north bay mountains and santa cruz mountains. gusts up to 45-miles-an-hour so be careful if you're driving like in a minivan or suv. so we have this area of high pressure. you notice this clockwise flow. we get the downsloping wind which gives us the warmer temperatures and sunny skies. overnight lows very mild. 50s around the bay, and upper 40s in napa, vallejo, mid-40s in fairfield. so very mild when you wake up tomorrow morning. then, a lot of sunshine again, with, again, more record warmth again. might have to increase these temperatures a bit. so low 70s in the south bay, to mid-70s. low 70s along the peninsula. a great day to head to the beach. and in the downtown san francisco, you may see low 70s again. look for 70s as well in the north bay. so, lots of sunshine. more 70s

there are only four super burt -- supervisors who have heard this. i am here to plead with each of you to try to talk your colleagues into supporting this resolution. i think that it will be essential for giving more time for this to be resolved. thank you, supervisor, for what you are doing to try to help and resolve this issue. i hope that the rest of the board will understand just how important this is to the city. thank you so much. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i have the privilege of being the husband of the last witness. we have observed events in the haight and participated in the life of this neighborhood the entire time we have lived there. we have been a cycling at the center since the beginning. i find this entire situation reminds me of something that charles walton had occasion to say. that is how much effort it takes simply not to slide backwards. to wonder that we can claim to make any progress at all. all of this difficulty would not have occurred if there had been a full hearing on the issue before rec & park had it. as was develo

as we head burt -- let's get to forecast issues right now.t has never at least to this point looked like a lot of snow. very small window to get that. what will this mean? at best here, a wintry mix with rain and some snow and totals don't look high at all. but could we see some flakes down on the valley floor? at this point, yes, it does look like it. you've got to get up early saturday morning if you want your best shot at that. into the south bay, tomorrow, cold numbers in the mid-30s also for the east bay from walnut creek. and as for tomorrow's numbers, not so bad. near average. with upper 50s to near 60. and you're going to want to enjoy this because as we head throughout the next 48 hours, temperatures are going to take a huge hit and dive big time. you'll see that as my seven-day forecast comes up friday and saturday. only 40s for daytime highs inland. and once again, the best shot of low snow late friday night and into saturday. then the back half dries out. so it does not look like a lot of snow at the valley floor, but a little of

eisenstadt who's his domestic political adviser who he had met also back in georgia to people like burt lams. and he brings them in, and some will have problems adjusting to washington. some don't have a smooth transition from what politics is like in georgia where carter was more familiar with the terrain, more used to the people he was interacting with to washington where often they were blindsided by the kind of political attacks they were facing from democrats, not just republicans as well as the media. that said, people like jurdan were very skilled. again, i think they put together a pretty good campaign in '76, and in the early years they're guiding him pretty effectively. that's combined with a more establishment. you know, we often think carter just had that team. that's often the attack on him, just brought the georgians in, and they didn't know what they were doing. but he also had people like cyrus advance who is as establishment as you can get. if you had to draw a cartoon, he would be the person. had been involved in washington politics since the '60s, guiding him on inter

workers and community activists and if support of that, let me mention the findings of sociologists burt landry that upper white middle class moms were least likely to work outside of the house. but black upper middle class those who could have afford to say home were more likely to stay at home and in white families when a husband didn't want his wife to work outside of the home, 90% of the wives did not do so but that was true for only about half of the brack wives whose husbands disapproved and blast black husbands were less likely to disapprove so this could have been a model for her. i'm not saying the african-american community was any feminist paradise. even rosa parks' lawyer once told her he thought women should be in the kitchen. that was their proper place. but i've come to believe that that was the real problem with friedan's book is her inability to explain to these whites middle class women that there were other models in the world. and that's not the other problem in friedan's book. it's terribly day in the use of evidence in its assumptions. homosexuals which you would fi
