they bussed in 250 to 300 folks. we had a nice demonstration here, loud, noisy, if you will, and it was a road show. they're moving on to other wall martz in the area. >> but the point is they're not walmart workers. is that what we're seeing? >> exactly. however, among the folks you sea demonstrating there were wall matt employees from other stores. >> okay. >> we talked to a couple of them after the demonstration was over. >> thank you very much. see you later. >>> we go if there to california, where we talk you outside the walmart walkout there? >> greg fletcher we've already spoken to and member of the our walmart movement. he was scheduled to work yesterday and today, but instead he has decided to protest. he joins us from the walmart store in paramount, california. good to join us once again. how many workers are joining you? >> so far we have about -- a couple dozens dozen, a few dozen employees rub able to join us. several more were going to, but because of schedules, sicknesses, life happens, but we have sev

another thing that we are trying to work on is better access to bart and access busses. many busses are blocked by vehicles that interfere, a path in order to enter or exit a bus like the 1846 avenue and 31 balboa bus line. there are many muni lines that need improvements, just to name a few. the public and members of the mayor's disability staff and council members are welcome it ascend sfmta maac meetings at the sfmta headquarters every third thursday of the month from 1:00 to 3:00 pm located at 1 south van ness avenue, 7th floor, union square conference room. the next maac meeting is scheduled for thursday, november 15th. the phone number is sfmta accessible service is 415-701-4485. for further information you can go to www.sfmta/maac thank you very much. >> thank you, roland. any public comment? council members, any comments? no, okay, we'll move on to item no. 13, correspondence. do we have any correspondence? >> the only letter we got this month was from howard chadner that he read you earlier today. thank you, howard. >> okay, moving on to no. 14, council member c

tom also mentioned about school busses and we realize, right, because this is not just about teachers, this is not just about forward-looking superintendents or guidance councilors or mental health professionals in schools, i don't need to tell anyone in this room about what's been happening on school busses. we are in partnership with the nea and companies helping train bus drivers so they know what to do better. you've seen the ad council campaign on bullying, it's really about the civic will to deal with this, encouraging conversations at home, that kind of social campaign is important to do that, and to encourage young people not to stand by in silence. so much of this, if you are not the perpetrator, if you are the victim but you see it, empowering young people to do something about it when they spot it. lastly, the partners recently announced a stop bullying video challenge where we are bringing together psa's that highlight what's happening by young people and want to give awards and celebrate that. and, as i mentioned earlier, the grants, the money, the department of education

is there anything that central station can do to dissuade party buss from coming to broadway? i know you don't let them double park? is that right? you make them drop off at certain spots? is that right? >> right. they can't stop at broadway and go down the street and can be helpful if they're dropping off at a location and they have to come up and that way when the bar is closing they're not waiting outside for the bus. they're going to a different location. the legislation i have seen isn't helping much and we don't have drunk juveniles coming up to the party bus and it's the 50 people on the bus and they're gassed when they get there and getting unloaded. it's working with the different clubs not to accept them and it's looking how are the clubs doing financially? there is a lot of incentive to take them into the club but there are problems and if there is a fight you have 50 people joining in on one side. >> what about taking information from the party bus when they drop off? say the door man takes information so that if the party bus is not there to pick them up at 2:00 o

neighborhoods and there is a bill that has been passed to manage under age drinking that is happening on the buss and we are going after with regulating the alcohol being served on the buses on a state level so we don't have this disruption and we think with these things coming out of the entertainment commission as well as soft close closings we can minimize a lot of impact and i don't think there needs to be a war or there needs to be a complete incompatibility. i appreciate the gentleman who was talking about housing that is built well and entertainment working together. i also would like to say that i agree with brian tan to rezone 11th street with 3b or permitting entertainment as a use in the mug especially since there are residential buffers and i would like to speak about limited live only being placed on the folsom corridor. there are many small businesses that will have influx of people into the neighborhood and hopefully to serve the neighborhood and the neighbors better we can allow limited live on the rcd as well so the corner businesses have all the opportunity to make it, and as fa

caltrans, great buss that are every morning picking up san franciscans, taking them down to silicon valley. we feel confident and confident we can make that happen in working with sf travel and the other visitor's bureaus down in the peninsula and south bay. we feel confident we can make that happen. >> i would say you see all the seismic retrofitting with the bay bridges, that is another reason why. >> everyone is from san francisco. the tag line was like go sf super bowl. the game will be in santa clara. what exactly is san francisco's involvement. are there events held here? >> yes, a great question. the super bowl 50 will be an iconic game. we expect a week up to the game, the tailgating will be in the parking lot of santa clara. many of the events will happen in san francisco. we believe every hotel from san jose to san francisco will be full. we believe this game benefits napa, caramel and more but san francisco will be the focal point of events leading up to the sunday game. >> ron conway, one of our committee members. >> our competition is miami. the statement is over an hour away.

but the obama campaign had these buss and they were bussing people out in franklin county to go vote early. it was a lively scene. loud music. after they voted the obama campaign had people walking down each row and gathering data on each student who had voted and asking their names if they could volunteer on election day and gathering information. so the next morning, i sat down with the romney campaign. people on the ground in ohio, and asked them are you doing anything similar or anything to replicate that. they said the juice on that is not worth the squeeze. >> i was skeptical because i kept seeing the president going to college campus. s. i thought he ought to be back in the oval office. but getting out the vote and the stirring them up. >> you had also a new group of college students who were not the college students that were excited four years ago, but they were different college kids. >> 1% increase in their share of the vote. >> let me ask about this. like everybody on the planet, reacted to the first debate thinking the president, who we thought had an iq of 180 and showe

he talked about loading them into busses and driving busses off the golden gate bridge.talked about loading them into an airplane and crashes it into the ocean, and, of course, the ranken file members had no idea these conversations were going on. it was his inner circle who tended to be the young u suppressed people who reflected his character. that is the most heart breaking thing about what happened at jonestown is that those who went down there, the poor, the inner city, the progressives, went to jonestown to think they were partaking in a great social experiment, that they were going to stay for a month. they were going to send kids off for a semester abroad and come home, and then once they got down there, jim johns took their passports, money, and said no one's going home. no one can leave. that is the most chilling thing i found in my research, and a year before the massacre, he is starting to talk to them about the fact that someday they are going to commit revolutionary suicide. someday they are going to die to protest capitalism. when he first brings it up, pe

>> what i'm hearing anecdotally is that 50 people walked out, then they bussed in the rest of them. don't know how much conviction there actually is for the people walking off the job today. >> how about last week? we see one union take down the twinkie industry. my point is we need to see a definite shift. we don't just need to see a few blips on the radar. until we get that i don't think we have any seismic movement in the market from here. >> very good. thank you all. see you later. have a good weekend if we don't see you later. thanks. >>> so a black friday rally closing out what has been a very good week for the bulls overall. kayla tausche rounds up today's winners and losers. >> all major markets are up, not just today but throughout the week. each of the major indices up better than 3% on what has been a relatively short week on relatively low volume. but congress has also been out this week so those fiscal cliff worries were largely put on hold. that's probably why we're seeing those strong gains here. let's take a look at the leaders and laggards. you're seeing dell, advan

did they spend up buss and trains? did they make service more reliable? as it was clear muni was not interested in our investigation we asked muni officials for names of the other systems that use switchbacks for other emergency situations. they respond they couldn't name such systems and they didn't need to because they knew for a fact "all other systems use switch backs in this way". after hearing the same answer for the ten months of our investigation we were taken aback in august, 2012, just a few months ago, to read in the newspaper that muni reported that they interviewed five other systems and found that they all used switchbacks to smooth traffic. in september of 2011 we decided if muni would not provide us with other transit agencies to speak to we would have to find them ourselves. fortunately the san francisco controller did a study and comparing muni to five other systems these cities included boston, seattle, new york, oakland and san jose or santa clara mta. they all had higher scores than muni. muni was on the bottom. we included bart. sinc

in the meantime a lot of people lined up this morning around brooklyn's barkley center to catch busses to work. mass transit is free by the way because police are trying to encourage people to take transit and not take cars. police in fact are only allowing cars carrying three or more people l across the city's bridges. >>> more coverage coming up on a new effort to help the victims of super storm sandy. what the red cross is sending from the bay area to help on the east coast. >>> it was a west morning commute for bay area drivers after rain moved in overnight. various downpours made it difficult for drivers to see especially before sunrise. this was the way it looked driving through san jose this morning. ktvu traffic reporter sal castaneda says he noticed more accidents than normal but not a whole lot more. >>> flooding created dangerous conditions for drivers in some places. here is what it looked like on the jackson streel off-ramp from southbound i 988 in oakland rvelgt roads were slick heading toward the bay bridge toll plaza. >> we have been talking about the storm over the pas

not here, and the other question often the clubs will take -- fewer and fewer clubs are taking party buss in the city but why they take them there is the perception we're going to make money off of them. i think what needs to happen is education and the reality is people that come from party buses generally once they're inside the club they don't drink. they don't buy drinks. there is often some deal worked out and they're not paying the door fee and if we can educate clubs and one it's more of a problem they want to deal with and they're not going to maikt money off of it that's one way we can help resolve the issue. >> all right. >> >> mr. hyde. >>i think there can be some sort of regulation for the buses. i think part of the problem it falls under the category of limousines so that's why they can serve alcohol and i think the number of people and the amount of alcohol -- if you could have some sort of regulation on that, and i have spoken to tom amano who is the chair of the public safety and he is very happy to create some trailing legislation, so i don't think that we should let this
