and block the complainant at every instance. because the entire city has interest in enforcement of that law. [buzzer] it's that operation with the interest with respect of the findings. you have qualifications here whether a person relied in good faith or whether there was advice. that might be referral with relevant with respect to enforcement or fines or something. but the actual fining of the violation, that's irrelevant. [buzzer] it's a violation. >> thank you. >> could i ask a question. so you would have the task force be the spokesperson for its decision before us and have the responde respondent -- when we give the respondent the opportunity to have it over turned and not act on it. but have the task force the spokesperson and not the complainant? >> if the complainant does not wish to show up. then the task force itself should be able to show up. make sure that the issue was pursued. >> not as the representative of the issue. >> speaking for the task force and acting for the order of determination. >> thank you. >> okay

i have things to complain about. >> now you're complaining about strasbourg. >> well, we knew the season cut short. >> yes. >> but the end comes early, it's still a shocker. >> maybe next season we can start him later. >> now he comes up with these great ideas. steven strasbourg's year is over. he will not make his final start in new york on wednesday. they're shutting him down. he's done after 159 1/3 innings, a 15-6 record and a lot of what ifs. this is not his choice, he made that very clear tonight. >> i don't know if i'm ever going to accept it, to be honest. it's something i'm not happy about at all. that's not why i play the game, you know. i play the game to obviously be a good teammate and win. and you don't grow up dreaming of playing in the big leagues to get shut down when the game starts to matter. it's going to be a tough one to swallow. like i said, all i can do is be the best teammate possible for these guys. >> this game's 90, 95% mental. and he's only human, and i don't know how anybody can be totally minimally concentrating on the job at hand with the media hype to thi

we did implement a customer satisfaction survey for our complainants. we have not assess the results of that yet, because we are waiting to get a graduate student to do that for us. we are working with the goldman school of public policy. we put in a bid, but it was too late this year, and we did not get a graduate student. we hope to get one to assess whether the occ is doing everything it can to provide a corporate customer service to complainants. there are a lot of factors. i do not have an answer. there are certainly many factors where the department could be doing a much better job. commissioner loftus: that would be good news. what you say, chief? objection, leading question? if that is the conclusion, i think that is a great one. if there are things we can support the chief in doing -- he is doing a great job of working with you on progressive discipline. that is definitely what we want. it looks as if there is almost a 50% drop of cases being sustained in the past year. what would that be caused by? >> something i've pointed out earlier was the

but we do identify -- we allow the complainant to self-identify, based on race and ethnicity. so it is more -- much more inclusive than the data that's required by the department of justice. so we do have a category for latino, chicano, for native american, african-american, caucasian, asian. >> well thank you for explaining that. >> you're welcome. >> commissioner chan. >> commissioner chan: thank you for your report. i wanted to ask about the -- it looks like five on here, of officers failing to collect traffic data and these officers being admonished. is that -- seems like a lot. i'm wondering, has that, from you and from the chief, what's happening on the ground with the officers? are these abhoritions, is there an increase, his decrease? twha's happening with the collection of traffic stop data? >> so as i've told the commission before, on a first offense it's an admonishment on the second offense it's a reprimand on the third, it's a day off, suspension, and on a subsequent offense the officer is reaferred to the police commission. >> it's not just a catholic mass but fo

if you complain about something i complained about delta air lines. [laughter] you used to be able to complain dominos 30 minutes or its free. there was a level of pride and commitment. you have to work twice as hard to go have as far. even though you felt it would be hard but it was for the truth but i don't think we tell people what is expected. terrorist attack the country and they said go shopping than wait to. they're past be a place you're not it exceptional because of where your mother and father had a baby but because of what you strive for. watching the olympics, the first thought that i had it was like the kid at graduation. all of those countries invested, a great deal of them and they had a health care system superior to ours. germany, japan, they lost those wars then it became economic and i think we could learn from them i am sad that we have to. >> i watched you navigate.

as far as complaining as you mentioned, complaining is getting expensive. bill belichick and john fox, kyle shanahan were hit in the pocketbooks. maybe it could be one last night of farewell for the replacements before they head off to small college football. >> maybe if they just played the game the way it's supposed to be played and they don't have to leave it up to the refs. gary, we really appreciate you coming in. you'll be on top of this. thanks so much. derek, back to you. >> topper will be back with your full forecast when we come back. >>> you're back on 9. here's a look at our live weather cam brought to you by michael and son. beautiful evening, 82, high 84, dew points low 60s, pressure up a bit, 30.08 inches of mercury. satellite picture radar combined, here's our frontal boundary with all the showers and storms and most of the showers and storms peeling from ohio directly into pennsylvania. that said there's another little batch into west virginia. i think some of those will clip our northern suburbs later tonight. we'll keep the chance of a sh

now you are going to complain about the way he killed bin laden. come on, you got a better way to shoot an evil terrorist in the face. because to me, seems like he kind of nailed it. look who he is working with. >> our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny president obama a second term. >> an even with a turtle man standing in his way, look what he still got done. >> did we get universal health care. no. but the thing we did get with the insurance pool for coverage of,-- i don't know the details, the point is it's better than cancer. and on top of that, think of the stuff that didn't happen. >> the aircraft carrier sized asteroid has missed the earth. >> we were almost hit by a [bleep] asteroid. dow remember an asteroid hitting us. because i don't remember an asteroid hitting us. i would remember if an asteroid hitting us. for a black president to not get hit by an asteroid, that is the stuff. look, are you better off than you were four years ago, of course not. but think about how [bleep] you could have been. >> things c

just against the chinese sets over to complain i think if you noticed that he is trying to shift the scope. of our number reason it's going to just don't want to go to my teachers or the boss the growing economy. that he's on why it's not only he's a shame but also the world or the mass they want to come fag and also balance against chinese increase in regions. all right all right a pre-wash in a war of words between republicans and democrats in the u.s. is heating up had a bit of a and worse presidential vote barack obama's party is convening to formally nominate him as their candidate and head back against criticism from their opponents the president's currently tied with his challenger in opinion polls well for more on the both candidates let's now talk to richard white senior fellow and director of the center for a political military analysis hudson institute mr wise thanks very much indeed for coming to the program to discuss this well first let's talk about barack obama as we know four years ago many promises have been made but few of them have been actually fulfilled and now h

then the complainant can bring the claim to us. if the supervisor of record doesn't make a referral, then what? >> if the supervisor of record makes no referral to the district attorney? >> right. >> well, they have to. and if they don't, nothing stops the supervisor of record to us, and that would fall under the ethics commission. nothing to limit it. and there is nothing to stop it. >> and also i realize some of you may not have the actual provision in front of you. and i can pass around my copy. >> that would likely be helpful. >> okay. what is staff's view of whether we should include this supervisor of records office in the definition of complaint? >> it's perfectly fine. we would take the referral. so there would be no issue of including that in there. again i don't know, and "g" may be worded broadly enough of the document to the commission, to initiate the complaint if it came from the supervisor of records. but there is no specific issue with adding language to identify that office. >> i guess the substantive question beco

one, i could see it helpful if for example, the complainant felt like they couldn't express it in a way that is most effective. i think that's a one possibility. the other possibility, if you have an elected official who may want to send a representative. who may handled the issue more directly or something of that nature. that's just speculation. but -- >> i am inclined to go forward with it as it is with commissioner renne's amendment. but i would like to hear whether others have reaction. >> i am too. any other comments on 2-2-d? how about 2-2-e. commissioner studley. >> the note they wrote to myself as i read this is, these all -- i am looking at the relevant circumstances. these all sound like bases for finding nonwillfulness or nonviolation. are there other factors that cut the other way? these sound like mitigation and why they are important and should be included. there is no parallel. it's a one-way rachet and that's not the right way for us to draft these. what every the opposite of mitigating or exasperating. some 25 cent word that we lawyers throw in. aggregating. it seems u

both the complaint in and complained on officer must agree for the mediation to go forward. i am proud to report that eligible police officer participation in our mediation program is nearly 90% and the occ is the winner of practice adr awards. i would like to share a few statistics about the complaints we have received in 2011 and how they complaints were resolved. in 2011, we received 784 complaints. this represents an 8% reduction in the complaints we received over 2009 when we received 854 complaints. last year, we sustained allegations in 7% of the cases week and closed and found proper conduct in 25% and found a 4% or unfounded and not true. the largest% of allegations we received were from unwarranted actions followed by discredit and allegations of unnecessary force comprised 10% of allegations. in 2011, approximately 20% of complaints were african- americans. caucasians in were 30%. asian-americans comprise 5%, native americans were 1% and of the rest for others. complacency declined to state their ethnicity or 17% in 2011. the office of citizen complaints is locate

i go, if it's on the bill, i complain, but nowhere else except this one place has offered to remove the fee. i think that all of these restaurants are doing okay by the number of people i see on them, they're not on the verge of closing, and i don't think that health reimbursement plan is a good idea. as a former director of an agency that had a clinic, it would not be enough health care to keep people really going and it sounds like it's madder to get it paid fortoo. i would like to subjecting that you have some health advice on these issues. >> thank you, ms. hail, next speaker e , his paris. >> hi, my name is brenda paris, i work at a medical clinic in san francisco clinic, i've complained about this from the very bin -- beginning that the money is not getting into the health system and working on its way down to people who are providing the health. we're in the process now of doing a medical home program and so it's a lot of pressure being put on the workers and see what the patients go through every single day and there are people that should be covered that are working at thes

he's not only gone -- he complains on electricity prices. he has said today, it's true the carbon tax isn't the only tax -- complete, compared with statements in the parliament that everything else except carbon pricing. but later the opposition is smacked into reality and experts don't agree with him, the regulators don't agree with him and he finally complain that the dramatic increases in power prices are not about power prices. >> thank you madam deputy speaker . my question is to the prime minster. this latest electricity bill shows carbon charges of 23,000 for the month of july alone. 23 thousand dollars. this new carbon tax cannot be passed on. >> the prime minster has the call. >> thank you very much deputy speaker and to the member who raises the question. as the member will be aware, we have always say that carbon pricing, the price will be paid for by the big polluters. we've been very clear about what that impact would be. for small businesses who were not required to directly pay the carbon price, they are not required to fill i

a notice of violation is someone complained and dbi went out and wrote a notice.e second complaint process. you can see there are 14 steps before the city attorney takes action and there are first notices, second notices, the list is extensive. after the notice of violations, the department of building inspection comes up with the director's hearing and send the notice of violation to the director. there is a director's hearing that takes place. since 2000, there are 2000 open director's hearings. hearings scheduled, but never taken place and in addition to that there are 750 director assists 's hearing that have never been sent to the litigation committee or to the full building inspection commission for anything. now i hope you don't mind if i take another minute? i'm sorry? >> let me just ask the question, all of this data that you have given us, can you give us some sense of the patterns? i see you have highlighted for me these areas, but are there any patterns you could reveal from your looking at the data? >> well, what i would say is no. when i started this

basically, this case stems from the fact that i had to fight to get into the homicide unit, and i complained publicly to the police commission, and made several appearances before the police commission, and complained about the homicide interview process. chief fong, right before she retired, finally let me in. i became the first asian- american homicide inspector in the san francisco police department. i filed a petition with 406 signatures, supporting my efforts to get into the homicide detail, basically complaining that the interview process was unfair. from the moment i set foot in the homicide detail, there was no welcome mat. the lieutenants of the unit were resentful. they were upset that i had gotten into the unit against their wishes. these are essentially trumped up charges. i would have taken a deal a long time ago, if i was guilty of any of these charges. i can go into each of the specifics, but you have my written closing argument and my rebuttal. maybe i will let mr. auden speak, and do a rebuttal, but i respectfully request these charges be dismissed. thank you. >> thank you,

, all this time i lived there, i have never complained once, i enjoy most of the happenings that's going on there on the weekends, i love the america cup, but number one, why we were never notified, immediate effect of neighborhood, not one of them except for joan was notified so we could voice our objections, our concerns that we have. i mean, i love the stuff that's going on on the weekends, but for goodness sake, give us a break during the week. my bedroom faces marina boulevard, you know, there's light pollution with a restaurant, there's noise pollution, if they stay open until 9:00 at niekt, i'm an early sleeper, i get up early, they have to close the restaurant, they have delivery trucks, what have you. i don't think it's the right use for a public shore line right there in a purely residential neighborhood. we have enough problems as it is with the concern, with the traffic and all that kind of stuff, so i think it's plain wrong, particularly not notifying the immediate neighbors so we can voice our concerns. we have been living there a long time, especially myself, i love the ne

everybody is complaining about this, complaining that.hen somebody speaks up, i know some things could change. we would like to see things change. i'm grateful i have a job because there are a lot of people that don't have one. what i try to do is come back with something positive without being positive, obnoxious state for someone who really doesn't want to hear it. just bringing in the hope and positive. i think this great time for christians to stand up and be who they say they are, live the life they say that they are living. act like they really believe what they say they believe. >> your book i understand why it's getting so much traction. by the way, everyone in our studio audience is getting a copy of her wonderful book. [ applause ] >> it's great having you here and get a copy of joyce's book, change your words and change your life. why don't you tray it this week. say good things and try to be a good person be edifying and build people up rather than tear them down. until next time. thanks so much for joining us and we'll see yo

are told the driver was not seriously hurt but a bystander who jumped out of the way of the suv complained of minor leg and back pain. that person was taken to the hospital. so far no word on what caused the accident. >>> police are trying to piece together evidence to figure out what led to a double homicide. the bodies of a man and woman were found shot to death after 9:15 last night inside their home. neighbors called police after hearing gunshots. officers were at the scene overnight and into this morning looking for evidence. family members of one of the victims says the 28-year-old woman was killed while she was pregnant with twins. a 2 and a half-year-old boy was also in the home but not hurt. police are looking for two suspects seen running from the house. >> doesn't appear that it would be a random act. at this time we know there were two i believe black males that were seen leaving the scene dressed in black hooded sweatshirts. >> police say the victims were in a relationship and investigators have not yet determined a motive for the killings. >>> detectives say they are searchin

she complains about none of the men in her life will commit to her or anybody else. she don't know anybody who has a boyfriend tt doesn't have an open relatnship. d so she says -- she is striving for a zen-like sense of attachment, so she can essentially live with the fact that the men in her life are like that. no one is any property and neither am theirs so i should enjoy the time together because it's our collective experiences that add up to a rich and fulfilling life. the guys in her life don't seem to have to strive for that zenlike type of attachment, and i guess what i'm recommending from jane austen is that women could take our natural capacity for relationships, our natural almost obsession with relationship, and make it a strength, not a weakness. not try to make ourselves accommodate ourselves to the men at their worst, but that both men and women could learn how to do better together. [applause] >> you must have questions. yes, the lady in blue. >> my name is suzanne kelly. i'm from -- i want to thank you for being here. my question -- okay. my question

so do the complainers have a case? get ready for a debate on that. first, you guessed it, new polling from nbc news and "the wall street journal" in three battleground states show president obama leading in new hampshire by seven percentage points over mitt romney among likely voters. in nevada, mr. obama has a two-point lead which is within the margin of error and in north carolina, the president also leads by two points. now, nationwide, he leads or is tied in just about every major poll unless you believe the complaints of a growing number of republicans who say the polling is skewed in favor of the president. there's even a website called unskewedpolls.com that takes all those same polls that show president obama leading and claims to correct the bias, turning romney deficits into commanding romney leads. the idea behind it is simple. all polls base the outcome on what pollsters believe the electorate will look like, how many democrats versus how many republicans they think will actually turn out. getting that partisan makeup wrong can tilt the p

immigrant labor camp play its part construction workers in belgium one of the better off nations complain of growing at unfair competition from polish builders and with no end in sight to the eurozone financial crisis that competition will only get tougher as artists are still in our reports who were here at a construction site where all the workers as well as the owners of the construction company are from poland belgium is seeing an influx of foreign workers from other e.u. countries and more often than not these workers left the belgian counterparts in the brig for example a province in flanders which has a significant construction sector thirty eight percent of all companies have lost bids to foreign firms ninety percent of them expect to lose bids in the future and this is prompted fears that in the coming months one in five companies will have to lay people off their prices or to do what we can call which they'll be using european rules to come over here or people who. need to work. but if that work is going to other companies who are setting prices that are too low because they are
