here are fictitious changes here. and system wide 58% minority and if we were looking at changes for the frequency routes and only went through neighborhoods 40% minority that would be considered a disparate impact even though we're not reducing service. we're adding service and in a way minority populations benefit more than non minority populations. a second example is shown that we are reducing frequency and heavily minority more so the 58% minority city wide and again that is considered a disparate impact. i think that the nuance of the threshold is shown in the third example. in the third example we're eliminating a set of routes and those routes run through neighborhoods that are 63% minority and while that is more than our city wide average of 58% because it's below that threshold of 8% it would not be considered a disparate impact. my second example here talks about the cumulative nature of these changes. you may have noticed we talked both individual change and a set of changes in the disparate impact definit

okay. >> disparate impact policy a fare change or package of changes or major service change or package of changes deemed to have disparate impact on minority populations if the percentage of the difference between the population impacted by the changes and the percentage of the minority population system wide is 8% points or more and so the specific language for the board to consider adding packages of service changes across multiple route it's. >> could you speak slower? >> of course. i apologize. package of major service changes across multiple route will be evaluated cumulatively -- >> hold on. >> will be evaluate cumulatively with poz service changes evaluated collectively and negative service changes -- >> hold on. >> sorry. >> positive service changes evaluateed collectively. >> yeah. and negative service changes evaluated collectively -- >> hold on. i can't type that fast. >> packages of fare increases will be -- >> packages of fare increases. >> across multiple fare instruments. >> yes. >> will be evaluated cumulative ly with fare increases evaluated collectively and fare -- >>

there have been 3 attempts to change sequa by 3 supervisors and all 3 of them never changed the final approval trigger. this one did change it changed if from final approval to first approval that's a big deal first year we insisted on keeping the first approval. and after negotiations we found that was not possible so we had to compromise our first strongest need and we do compromise that because we saw in order to this process to continue we gave. so, now at this point what we need it a method to appeal the e r os decision. the e r o is very confident but open some occasion there may be a gray area. for example, if there's a change in the building envelope well, i'm sure

projects that change after any manner will require a new hearing. so that concludes our recommendations of the e r o is here if you have any questions otherwise move into public comment >> i have a question for ms. rogers. so i can fully understand that. so when a project is submitted for an exemption the drawings tend to be pretty dpraefk with the preliminary set of drawings i might submit >> i would like to deter to the folks responsible for that portion. >> okay. >> so i'm just trying to understand the procedural process. if you're submitting let's say for example, your republican vavt a house and for your exemption you might have a preliminary set of drawings. if it's a project that requires the same section it's essentially the same set of drawings that would be needed. we need as much information as possible. so if it's a historic repeal evaluation if it's large we may need additional information but if it's small we wouldn't need detailed drawings. often it's quite early fairly conceptual >> yes, it needs to be done ann at an early stage. >>

this is primarily focused on route changes so for example if we are changing a route or eliminating a segment of a route. frequency changes which is modifying how often the bus arrives to pick up customers and span of changes and has to do with the hours of operation on i route. our proposed definition of a major service change is a change in transit service that is in effect for more than 12 months period and any of the criteria is met. a schedule change or series of changes resulting in this amount or more or rolling or 24 month period. schedule change in the route with 25 trips or more a day and add or eliminate a route. change in revenue hours on route of 25% or more. a change in daily span of service of three hours or more and 25% or more where the route moves more than a quarter of a mile. corridors served by multiple routes will looked at this with route miles. what i mean by that is for example if we are -- we did this in 2009. we restructured the 10 and the 12 and there was a segment in pacific hites that used to be served by the 12 in peak periods between -- on pacific betwe

there have been 3 attempts to change sequa by 3 supervisors and all 3 of them never changed the final approval trigger. this one did change it changed if from final approval to first approval that's a big deal first year we insisted on keeping the first approval. and after negotiations we found that was not possible so we had to compromise our first strongest need and we do compromise that because we saw in order to this process to continue we gave. so, now at this point what we need it a method to appeal the e r os decision. the e r o is very confident but open some occasion there may be a gray area. for example, if there's a change in the building envelope well, i'm sure the building envelope can be tweaked. and they as that's not significant. but if they say that's a change but it's not substantial that's not a big deal. in this case if there's a hearing we could bring up points of use that perhaps the environmental officer didn't see or consider. that is really important to us we gave up final approval is this is something we really need. so i hope that you understand that the com

so if the project were changed it seems like and your office said no. there's no environmental impact of this changed but that potentially opens the door to file for an appeal. ; is that correct? >> just back to the beginning of our story. the thirty day period for exemption does not begin until the approval action. so even if the exemption is issued 6 months from before a dr period that window doesn't start until after the dr hearing. but the second part of your question it doesn't provide an opportunity to reopen issues on a project a

easy to love. >>> ohio wants change. america wants change.hio cast 144 votes for the next president of the united states, bill clinton. >> daily flash back. 1992. then governor bill clinton claimed the presidential nomination of the democratic party at their party's convention in new york city. it's july so we'll have a lot of those flashbacks. we asked which president declared july 15th national ice cream day. the answer was ronald reagan be in 1984. election year pandering. issued the proclamation and called upon the people of the united states to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies. today's winner, ben goodman. if you've got a political trivia question for us, e-mail us. we'll be right back.

if people are going to change their lives, they need to have services that will help them change their lives. that is an important priority. other services have been public mental health, health and human services, housing and employment and economic development and we also have went into prisons, probation and started a reentry planning. we are talking about the results which has proved if you change your approach then you can improve the results and in san francisco, three years about before realignment and evidence base probation and sentencing we had over 7,000 individuals on probation, as a result we now currently have 5500 individuals under supervision and that includes all of this population that has been realigned in the state. instead of a 78 percent failure rate which is what parole has, probation has a 77 percent success rate, again changing the focus. the number of felony probationers who were revoked and sent to state prison, 3 years ago was 75 percent in 2009, and in 2012 we sent 65 individuals. of the 1310 felony probationers, 77 percent completed successfully and of the

we have changes. they employ and i think you're going to be the reason it changes but right now supervisor 44 thousand 2 hundred and 49 employees and it's still growing and i think the office needs to change those numbers already arrest as you know i've been focused on jobs because i really believe that people can get those jobs and be part of the economy. and we're going to make sure whether it's big medium or small a they'll survive here and the supervisors will work with me to sustain this. so mr. temple used the word bubble he's always trying to get me on the bubble it will not burst if our hearts lead this economy. if all walks of life and all cultures get to participate. this can welcome in one or two people with ideas but can't afford the expensive rent by wants to start with a great idea and this is where it starts. this is why it's so incredible we have those hubs of business support. it's a model i think is going to work with a sharing economy. and the sharing economy is not just for small b

what i'm saying is the rules weren't changed then, and the rules ought not to be changed now. so we have a conference coming up monday. let's see if we can't work through it. let's see if we can't work in a senate. restores the but the senate that saucer that is supposed to provide a cooling opportunity, to slow down rush to judgment. should the senate be compelled to confirm three members to lower official appointments in the federal government who were illegally appointed and continued to serve in their offices after they were so found? i don't think so. and i don't think that dispute is such that would lead the majority leader to break the , to of the senate override the plain rules of the senate through a procedure not proper and dangerous to get his ay on this matter. there are other things that could go wrong if this goes forward. my impression from talking to my colleagues is that there are very deep feelings about it. people have had about enough of this. there have been all kinds of abuses here about how we conduct our business, and we are not going to keep accepting

changing borders, how the changing course of rivers is affecting the lives of people in central america.

those constantly changing projects. there are a few little developers out through who like to change their projects and is we don't need this process because it's an appeal process. it's not a appeal process it's to have a clear view of chapz with the appeal process. the public perception is gagging going to make it look like the e r o decision a final we don't know what's going on you have to go to the website and have to be constantly troll the website to find the process. well someone says you can go to the board of appeals and i think for advantaged community and constantly knowledge at city hall are vnd that 10 days are really short. 10 days it two short. we have comprised . i recommend that i to the board of supervisors to please have the e r o hearing included as a consensus thing and it's passed around to zero and i'm tired after 8 months. thank you >> thank you. >> good afternoon catherine howard. the board of appeals idea talking about coming up with things at the last minute. the board of appeals is for stree

secondly, accelerating change in medical education. we have been talking about changes for decades. now the american medical association has put together very strong effort to change the way we're going to teach young men and women how to practice medicine. it is going to be competency based on a not necessarily time base how they are going to take care of patients in the 21st century. how we are going to sustain physician practices in these days of change as you have alluded to. what is it going to take to make a practice sustainable? what will it take to make them happy with what they are doing? this is a great piece of work that we are undertaking. these will be my three areas of focus for their coming year. >> can you spend a little idea on the idea of changing medical education? how will medical students be different in their day to day work with patient than doctors currently in practice? >> that is what we're going to find out. 11 medical schools are now part of this program that we have initiated. they're going to answer that very question. what do we need to do to change it

a change in tone.it's an invitation from the holy father that we can never be harsh and judgmental. >> john: so the policy is the same but the tone has changed. sort of like if southern water found fountains in the 1950s changed their signs from this to this. actually, hold on. it's just the tone is nicer. but is it just the tone that has changed? i have to warn someone. aasif. aasif. listen, aasif. it was just a change in tone. >> yes, i'm still in rome. john: , no, no, no. aasif, the church hasn't really changed its position on homosexuality. those were false reports. >> you're right. you should cut these pants into shorts. >> john: that's not just what i said. aasif, church doctrine still for bids homosexual acts. there was no change. >> holy [bleep]. what? okay. cut the bubbles. yes, cut the smoke. everybody, get your robes back on, yes. fire up the plain song now. yes. john, i have to run. there is a stampede already for the confession booth. ava maria. >> john: aasif mandvi,ryone.ver.

it lends ourself to wonder if there's more studying >> if we wanted to make changes can we make the changes in the budget. my other questions is seems to me if we want to make changes we figure out how much is in one column so all the money that is being flexed or the fund balance money is in the general fund. so the program questions to me would that i would want answered are what are we doing and what resources are we deploying to i'd the k c issue how is it integrated 0 into the a n g issues. by the way, i think that's an interesting example the k c money we're proposing to do something different in 2014 this and that in 2013. i want to know as a mechanic question and compliance question is for us to be told when we get to that, you know, in my mind i think the only thing we need to vote on to change if we still follow this process if we want to change the fund balance column. so if somebody can gept that clarified before technique. >> the general fund - the money that's being swept is in the general fund. so if we put those into general uses the general fund goes down. the point is this

changing borders, how the changing course of rivers is affecting the lives of people in central america. why it is more than a question of religious beliefs in india. from ancient egypt to this day, the nile has provided a lifeline to untold numbers of people. the blue nile covers -- carries most of the nation's water. it merges with the white nile before reaching egypt. dating back to colonial agreements with britain, it needs to be consulted before the river is upstream tampered with. one of the largest dam projects is a milestone, but it threatens egypt with more frequent droughts. we sense a water conflict in the making. >> in the old -- ethiopian highlands lies the source of the ethiopian nile. monks have lived on the lakes islands for more than thousands of years. their life on the island is surrounded by water. they say the lake water is healing. >> we use the water for things in daily life. it has healing powers. the water helps many ailments. >> wildlife around the lake is still intact. sometimes, even forest elephants find its way to it sure during the dry season. at that time

bad things got to be changed. they've been changed in the military. in some cases like race, frankly, faster than our own society. i'm an own civil rights lawyer. i was attorney for the michigan civil rights commission when it came into existence in 1963. i know how tough it is to change racial attitudes. i know how tough it is. but the military actually finally after all kinds of near riots inside the barracks during the vietnam war, they finally did something. they decided they were going to use affirmative action and they were going to -- that's number one. number two, the commanders were going to put a stop to it and they were going to be held accountable. you have to hold commanders accountable for changing the culture. that has not been done yet. it will be done under our law. commanders are going to be held accountable for the climate inside of their units. so that's the difference. i don't know about the appendicitis thing. the best i guess analogy is. if you want to anational the gentleman is recognized racial prestigious or sexual misconduct

each one teach one, each one reach one, we change policy, we change practices, we change values. there is a map, there is a way we can do it. we're already doing it, let's not lose sight of it, but we have to be more focused, more clear and more collaborative and not forget to really empower our children. they are our best hope for changing the world. >> hello, my name is chris bridges. i'm grappling with trying to address several things that i've heard during the course of this program. i'll try to keep it as brief as possible. it's more of a statement than a question. a lot of people have mentioned power, the power balance between people and the trauma that people can bring in from outside and the significance of being traumatized and traumatizing other people and it also talked about restoretive justice being a model. i know we're in a room filled with district attorneys and police officers, law enforcement. i'm curious what role law enforcement can play in restoretive justice, what can be imparted as groups of people who may or may not be connected with the trauma. once you a

and other changes that are a foot are structural changes. this includes definition changes. and what should we look at when reformulaing rail. those structural changes are best done at the citywide level and we would like them defined across the city and where's there's a demonstrate need but generally we find feel that overall it should be consistent across the city. and in addition to the proposals outlined in your packet that supervisor mar plans on introducing another ordinance. his ordinance would look at changing the definition of formula rail and increasing the geographic areas it does apply and we're interested in learning. so in the of the ideas our primary goals today we would like to have time to look at the proposals which we feel is desperately needsed the report before you is a good start and we've - amy cowen joins us here to discuss the issue today. so let's jump into our presentation we have different colleagues to decide the parts and i'm happy to introduce our intermediate and we'll do a review of some of the case laws in other cities. then my colleague wi

the changes are not simply on the hillsides. on the plains, you can see greenhouses that are filled with vegetables. this extends the growing season. it's a very high value produce. the abundance and variety of new produce can be seen in the local markets. follow-up studies have shown that incomes have risen threefold. and scientists point to a more global benefit. plants, through photosynthesis, remove carbon from the air, countering the effect of human greenhouse gas emissions on the climate. as a result of its success, the lessons learnt from the loess plateau rehabilitation are now being applied all over china. but could such projects work elsewhere in less centrally controlled societies, with fewer resources and different soils? ethiopia, perhaps more than any other country, has come to symbolize the vulnerability of humankind to environmental catastrophe. this is a country whose problems have been increased by war and civil conflict. and now human-induced climate change is predicted to make matters worse. as on the loess p

or job title change.quickly, do they? >> three months is a good amount of time. three months is enough time that you can actually take what your boss has said to you and put it into action. and you can show some resolve. it's not like saying i want to see something in a month. >> sometimes it's what you look like, how you dress, how you walk in. >> perception is reality. >> you have to beware of flip flop syndrome in the summer. you don't want to be -- i literally once had someone come in for a interview in a tube top. you don't want to be that person. >> what did you say to her? >> not you're hired. >> something other than that. >> what did you -- >> there's another way to think about flip flop. you don't want to wear flip flops in your brain either. don't put yourself to sleep and you don't want to flip flop attitude. because i've been in meetings in the summer where you look around and people are there zoning out. their bodies are there but their minds aren't, right? and you have to pull them back. >>

and then let's change. heel is resting, feet pretty wide apart, and now just move your leg in whichever direction where you can feel this stretch. okay. ready for your calf stretch? you're going to bring the knee up, plant it here. all right. there's your calf stretch. now, gretchen, you can get a little different feel of this stretch if you tilt your ankle one way and the other. there's something we can't do standing right now. one way and the other. can you feel the difference? >> i can. >> let's change. calf stretch. if you're standing, your feet have to be pretty wide apart. and now, if you're seated, follow gretchen turning the ankle one way and then the other, and then turn it again and hold it. can you feel the difference really? >> i feel that. >> turn it this way and hold it a little bit longer. okay. and now straight up. i'm going to bring the feet together and we're going to do a hamstring stretch. but let's circle the ankle as it comes up. now, flex your ankle and push, and place that heel on th

but they want you to change the waterfront for them, so please don't do that. you see i can't even walk but my heart is in the right place. right jim? >> you bet. >> okay. >> thank you mrs. dearman. okay. mr. lazarus and let me call -- i an additional card. go ahead. >> thank you supervisors and congratulations on supervisor chiu's engagement. the chambers work closely with members of the board, with supervisor wiener, with the department on a variety of revenue ideas to move forward mta's mission to provide effective transit for the city. as was mentioned earlier today the chamber is a co-sponsor with the labor council allowing the state law to move forward next year with the vehicle license fee and we concur with the comments from supervisors today that need tos focused on transportation and transscpitd our own polling says the only way it passes it's tied to other charter amendment or ballot that directing the funding to transportation. whether we look at general obligation bonds, whether we look at the transit fare system that we use and the commitments bot
