though differences people who criticize israel are not necessarily anti semitic but there is a correlation that's off the charts if you will ok norman if i can go to you and you're an expert on this you wrote a book called beyond just on the misuses of anti-semitism in the abusive history would you agree with what charles had to say about what anti-semitism is today and how pervasive it pervasive biddies. well the important facts about the new anti semitism as it's called is that it's neither new nor this i have anything to do with anti semitism every time israel faces a public relations debacle or comes under international pressure to settle the conflict with the palestinians diplomatically they allege that there is a new anti semitism so in the nineteen seventies the head of the anti-defamation league arnold forster he wrote the book the title was the new anti semitism. in the one nine hundred eighty s. then head of the anti defamation league nathan perlmutter he wrote a book called the real anti semitism in which he said there was a new anti semitism in the early two thousand when israe

really has as its focus the demonization and the deal with them as a sion of israel and there's a correlation between the two i did an article with a colleague edward copland and we showed we interviewed five thousand europeans in ten countries and there's a very powerful correlation between classical anti semitism how jews do in business and whether they integrate or stick to themselves questions along those lines the old. the summit ism and then we did a criteria that we called israel bashing extreme views of israel israel's an apartheid state and the like and we found that the people who have very strong views on israel that we called israel busters in our study in the in our criteria of the answer five questions out of seven we would be considered israel busters of the population there fifty six but more likely or thirteen times more likely than the average population to be anti semitic in the classical sense as well so there's a strong correlation between the two those differences people who criticize israel are not necessarily anti semitic but there is a correlation that's off the chart

i have a diagram that correlation in the exhibit.u can see how stable this relationship is despite the existence of any regulation to cause that correlation. but apparently 99% correlation was not good enough to dissuade policymaker from the daunting task of crafting rules. the price for complex rules to solve the imaginary problems is rather high. rather than minimizing fragmentation which was the stated goal, it was exacerbated by guaranteeing new exchanges will have borders. rather than limiting the role of arbitrage, they diverted from productive uses to the regulation itself to top of the rule managed to ignite a massive technology arms race by making the speed of information transition a more critical issue that was before. not a hat and i put a formal rulemaking exists i feel we are doomed to repeat past mistakes. once again proposals of nonexistent problems, is easy to conjure up imagess like speed limits and order cancellations but it is trivially easy to demonstrate how they would backfire and harm certain investors. lawyer

of december, and a high correlation with better than expected christmas sales. so i think we're going to be okay here. >> susan: should people start moving some of their money more into stocks, and lighten up on your bonds, move away from the safety of bonds for right now? what's your take? >> well, i think the interest rates are going to stay fairly low. i think they do rise in 2012, along with a pick up in inflation in 2012. i don't have any interest in treasuries. if you're going to be a fixed income investor, i think you need to look at very careful and selective money managers. i happen to be using putnam, and their diversified income trust, which is an interesting way to get at the fixed income asset allocation. >> susan: you have two stocks you want to tell us about. you think investors would do well by them. tell us why you like n.i.i.holdings, tradinging on the nasdaq? >> my theme, ever since the fourth quarter of 2001, emerging and frontier markets are going to be were the growth is. when per capita incomes rise, people spend more money. n.i.i. holding

the country is becoming more diverse but do you think that there is a direct correlation between you know more immigrant populations moving to the to the suburban areas and to some of the anti immigrant sentiment that we're seeing some of these strict immigration laws that we're seeing in states like arizona are florida. yeah i mean i think there's there's no doubt that there is a connection and the migration policy institute found recently that in the past decade in the purest period between the last census count and and this one of over one hundred towns and cities and counties passed really draconian kinds of anti immigration laws over fifty towns and cities passed laws that try to stop undocumented immigrants from getting jobs. about thirty past english only laws and so on and it's very clear that localities where immigrate immigrant populations are growing quickly are also places where there are efforts underway to pass. laws that crack down on immigrants and attempt to restrict immigration so there's absolutely a correlation there but one of the things that really of corn to no

i would correlate as it codes to see if they would come from -- to alig even at those times when the assumptions lead clear that these are local hiring. it is importuned -- bin laden this is important. this is tightening up what are mandatory laws look like. if the constitution as for giving to us, we should it minister these kind of lost. we know that both of those commissions and covered by state law had projected a significant increase of population for san francisco. companion will not be a requirement an obligation to produce 100,000 units of housing over the next $20 -- over the next 20-25 years. we have to come up with 100,000 units of housing. i want to say thank you. i am passionate about this subject. we want to put everyone to work in san francisco who wants to. >> thank you. >> thing, president shoe. -- thank you, president chiu. i wanted to congratulate john avalos for taking on this task. what we need is a new deal which will really bring those jobs to our grass-roots community. we would like to spark a progressive workers alliance. i think the study is another spark hi

you are is much more correlated with your politics. there were plenty of white progressives and there were plenty of un-churched conservatives. more and more white folks are conservative and now sitting in the pews. they are tightly bound up with one another. the african-american community is, as you know, the most religious of all racial and ethnic groups and the more solidly democratic. the rest of the country has become much more polarized into a very religious or conservative pole. tavis: religion, to the contrary, unites us in what ways? >> the culture wars, the notion that americans are deeply divided and hate each other along religious lines is a vast exaggeration. we think that as a function of a fun house mirror that we get from the media, the talk radio shows and so on the suggest that we are in a couple of cans that both liberal or progressive people hate religious people, and if you talk to people, that is not true. there are more personal ties. one half of all marriages are injured-faith marriages. -- interfaith marriages.

it is not necessarily correlated that the more light to have, the less crime. the police captain said that the park had different levels of crime and a think you will find the parts that are more active have more crime and the quieter parts have less crime. sometimes there is a tendency to jump right in and take of the bushes. let's look at this very carefully. and we are doing is the most effective thing. >> would anyone else like to comment under the general manager's report? of the comment is closed and we are on item number five. excuse me, item number four. members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter and do not appear on the agenda. with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to speak will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. [reads names] >> the afternoon, commissioners. i want to address the issue on water recycling. we were all given options to develop alternative sites. my problem is that when there was discussion on a lot of issues, what alternative sites? wh

sometimes there isn't necessarily a correlation between the policy good that a president achieves and how he does the next time around at the polls. >> host: david brooks this morning in the "new york times". i want your response. the big story of the week is that president obama is returning to fist principles, republishing himself as a network liberal. this is not a move to the center. it's not the clinton model or the truman model or any other stale category people are trying to impose on him. it's standing at one spot in the universe building alliances with people in other spots in the political universe. >> guest: well, i mean, i think the latter part of the statement is true enough. good presidents, and i do think clinton and truman fit this contrary to brooks do now how to reach out in different directions from where they stand to build alliances in different directions. i mentioned that earlier that clinton went one way with nafta and another way with the economic plan even though they were passed within a few months of each other or a few weeks even. you know, brooks, i think

for the worst human rights record this year but those two factors tend to correlate one thousand nine hundred ninety four again in one thousand nine hundred seventy and they're talking about this body count syndrome know myself that i'm not surprised but in all these years in washington they were perfectly aware of the colombian situation. and that they haven't done a thing you know your age and that they explain how you know this kind of phenomenon where bodies are dressed up as guerrillas and presented as killed in action and this and this idea that you need to produce bodies actually encouraged paramilitary collaboration whom you have to through our basic tracking them of the military the paramilitaries who are close to being one for far is devoted to extortion kidnappings and recruiting of minors i mean. you know they don't care they have no regrets about trampling over international humanitarian law you know money they make money with international drug dealing. the good the significant increase the capacity of the globe you know. which shows we're just in the kind of purity over

and those--watching those shows is very negatively correlated with all forms of social connection, not just the--you know, going to meetings but even just spending time with your family. c-span: there's one statistic--i may not be perfectly accurate on this, but sixth graders with television sets in their bedroom went from something like 6 percent in 1977 up to 70 percent in 1997 or whatever. >> guest: correct. yup. c-span: what does that say? >> guest: well, i--i thi--what it says is absolutely that we're watching television, especially our kids, are watching more television alone. i actually had not any idea that that trend had occurred because our--my kids are a little--a little older than that and so we--that--that happened after we had young kids. and--and i don't--don't know that we would have been immune to it if our kids had been that young. i don't want to claim status here as somehow a saint with respect to television watching. but what it--what the trend means is that more and more of the time of our kids is spent alone watching television without anybody else present or cer

plate size isn't the problem at golden correll. the bus a chain has reasonable size crockery but an excessive friday of offerings. i visited the golden corral near my home to get a firsthand look that the array of items. on entering be during restaurant located across a massive parking club from target i expected a sizable number of options but wasn't prepared for six kinds of fried chicken and seven varieties of seafood. the buffet stretched more than 100 feet from the greenhouse to the salad bar to the girl house which had steaks and other proteins wrapped in bacon. through the chocolate fixation station, and in accuracy as it set aside our kinds of cravings, not just chocolate. accounted 81 hobart choices not including condiments and there were 52 salad bar items and 29 dessert choices. to be fair golden corral isn't alone in offering that wide a selection. predictably the abundance on display had 4 choices. i tried to be disciplined but found it difficult to exercise restraint. in my first go around i served my plate with fred

. >> you were saying that this is somehow correlated to rainfall. this goes from 1914 until 2006. it is the red line in the backgrounds which are the annual rainfall from each year is plotted on here. you can see it varies all over the place. if you take an average, the average is a thin gray line. that does not give you a feel for what the rainfall really is. that is an average over four years. you can see that these build up until we had the big events before. >> you expect to see them during the apocrine fall. in fact, they might occur at that time but they may occur the year after and two years after because it has taken awhile for it to accumulate. this triggered some major landslides that we saw. these are portions of the cliff rotates out to sea. >> when we look at this cliff, can you tell us what of the features that we can see? >> we are lucky to have a very fresh exposure. there is a large overhanging block. at the very edge, you can see the roots coming out. they are part of the problem. in addition, these are sandstone and shale. they have been uplifted and faulted and

wanted to mention around transportation, that there are other, since we will be having a direct correlation between this and with the children live, giving preference to those children who were attending a child development center, and decide to attend an elementary school -- that these programs such as safe passages and all of those things that the city funded by actually grade for the community. we have one that is very active, in the tenderloin. people are raving about this program. we are escorting children from school to home, parents can do this, especially now. most of them are after-school programs and ending at 6:00 and it will be getting dark at 5:30. i think that we will ask the city to help us in this way, to support the safe passage to school and back. this is paramount on the minds of parents. i know that we briefly went over this, so briefly in a couple of minutes. but the efforts and the thought, and everything that went into this is tremendous. and also, the head of the educational placement center, they have coordinated this and they have courted all of this in such a shor

and the world, no matter what city you are in, more dense development, housing patterns, directly correlates to reduce the vehicle miles traveled. i will use this chart. the bay area is less than 10 units per acre. the average vehicle's miles per household is about 18,000 per year. this proposes an average density of 59 per acre. it could be a reduction, assuming the statistics told of a reduction of over 10,000 miles per year by each household. multiplying that by the number of units proposed in the plan area. it is a reduction of over 9 million miles per year, driven by folks who live in parkmerced. these folks will love some -- will live somewhere. if they live here, presumably, they would drive that much less and contribute substantially toward the bay area achieving its goal. to move forward from there, commissioner olague asked us to look at the housing and how the policies and housing element relate to this proposal. we combed through the housing element and look to see what the appurtenant policies were. -- what the pertinent policies were. there's a list of different policies. we pa

anything questionable can be very easily collected and correlate the water -- correlate the order toe. >> before i go back to the point, do you have a comment on my last question about whether you believe there is manipulative, same-day trading between platforms? >> there are two types of manipulation. there is the old-fashioned kind where you dump a big sell order into the market, trying to scare people. and that does not really depend on the platform. indeed, a lot of traders do not pay any attention to the platform. someone who is a very smart router could figure out the execution of that. there is a lot of manipulative trading that does not really pay attention to the platforms. now, if somebody is actually trying to say, i am going to put this order into this exchange or that exchange because nobody will notice -- >> the regulators do not have such automatic access. >> actually, one group does consolidate the data. so, they could very quickly on an electronic blue sheet figure out who did what. they just cannot put together the order book to figure out the strategy, and that is

if the no correlation, no study at all in the history of the world that says just because you're after medication makes you want a sexual assault little baby. >> is facing several charges including kidnapping, rape, false imprisonment in committing sexual act of the child. he is suppose to end sharply in mid january next year. in fremont kron 4 news. >> this is not his first run in with the law, back in 2003 he was arrested for assault with the intent of having sex with a seven year-old girl picked as kron 4 dan curman reports. he is convicted went to prison for that crime >>. in 2005 he pleaded no contest to attend and have sex with a minor i was sentenced to four years in state prison. because this was only an attempt, the offense is one of the least severe on the spectrum of child sex offenses. with time already served for the 2003 crime, and september of 2006 eugene was paroled. state law dictates his parole be three years for this crime. immediately upon his release he was required to register as a sex offender and provides local address to the union city police department. howeve

in our view park safety can be directly correlated to positive and negative views. our parks are staples when they are well loved, maintained and activated. three years ago there were dilapidated and used only as a last option. the fields were often empty providing is setting life for illicit activities. today with the generosity of the city field foundation there is activity day and night. while they are not immune to the illegal activities across the city, it has become a healthier and safer destination. mclaren park has seen increases over the past several years thanks to active support from the at the theater and regular volunteer work parties with mounted park patrols through activation and presence. we are attempting to cultivate this type of activity across the city. special vents in the plaza makes the park safer by giving people a reason to use it. daytime park safety in particular is reinforced and enabled by positive park activation through sports, regular uses -- uses and star -- strong our biggest challenges, in my view, are at night. in my view, nothin

am hoping that we will also look at the 2010 census and see how those numbers sort of, you know, correlate with our numbers about attendants and to is actually living here. thanks. >> items wanted to make sure i have captured the key point. one of those is looking at data just beyond the assignment data and looking at the census data. when looking at capacity for attendance area and in drawing the attendance area, we are not able to draw areas that will accommodate all of the students that live there. we know that there will be attendance areas that can't accommodate all of the applicants. we want to see if they are applying to the school and other information about the attendance area. a number of commissioners suggested some of the things that we collect data on including start times, after school, and having a deeper understanding of what kind of surveys would look like. we can share them with the board and make sure that you are aware of what we have been collecting. we look to include information about pre-k. and also, a number of commissioners suggested that we think about having cer

. >> diiet and exercise are more closely correlated to health care outcomes and taxpayer health carewnership of health insurance policy. so if anything, there's greater constitutional warrant to require people to join gyms and buy broccoli than to buy health insurance policies. [ male announcer ] let's take the holidays by the antlers... expand our toolboxes... and fill our sleighs to capacity. with all kinds of buzzing, roaring, and humming. with guaranteed low prices on all the tools you want, there will be more than tinsel glinting around our trees. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. we're lowering the cost of christmas morning. buy any ryobi super combo or lithium-ion combo kit and get a free ryobi power tool worth up to 99 bucks. >>> this week, a federal judge struck down a key part of president obama's health care reform law which says individuals must have health insurance. it could be from the government, from your employer or you can pay for it yourself but you got to have it. the court says the government can't force individuals to buy health insur

>> studies show diet and exercise are more closely correlated to health care outcomes and taxpayer health care spending than the ownership of health insurance policy. there's great constitutional warrant to require people to join gyms and buy broccoli than a health insurance policy. >> i think harry reid is proposing that tomorrow. it was in the -- it's in the omnibus bill. >> the most amazing part of this symbol the vegetable centric analogy because ken kuchinelli who brought this on behalf of the commonwealth of sergeant virginia, the attorney general made the point about asparagus. if the government can force you to purchase health insurance they can force you to purchase asparagus. >> broccoli is less likable. >> see the different vegetable producers lobbying to get their vegetable to be the approved one. >> can we raise this to a different level? what is at stake here say pivot point in how powerful the federal government is going to be. and ultimately the supreme court is going to resolve this. these lower court opinions are interesting. they don't matter until the supremes get thei

what we see is equity inflows are correlated to consumer confidence. in the last month we have seen a change in the consumer confidence number and a change in equity flows. we're happy about that. >> interesting. okay. so the retail investor, is he or she back? >> when you look at retail activity for 2010 it's up mid single digits, retail activity. so that's positive. but i think more attractive is most of the retail activity contained in the institutional order flow. through the year we saw equity outflows. we have seen the turn where we are witnessing equity inflows. >> what are you seeing in terms of innovation in this country? you have a great vantage point with so many high tech and bio tech companies where we are seeing companies list. where is the innovation? >> we have the bird's eye view of innovation in the economy. in 2010 we have, i think, a very strong year. about 170 companies have come to market in 2010. that's compared to 60 last year and 50 in 2008. clearly progress. most notably we had the first car company in 54 years come public. te

. >> there's a correlation between the rate of g.d.p. growth and m&a activity. and we're in a period of positive growth in terms of the economy, but it's tepid. >> reporter: peterson is betting that next year u.s. m&a activity could reach $900 billion. that would be a sizeable increase from this year's $800 billion level, but a far cry from the heady days before the financial crisis. so what's likely to fuel the urge to merge? for some companies, it may be the desire to go global with their business, as well as all the money they've squirreled away. >> if you look at corporate cash levels, according to numbers we see here at standard and poor's, non-financial companies in the s&p 500 have approximately $1 trillion cash on hand. so, there's the currency to do the deal activity. >> reporter: experts predict many deals will happen in the cash-rich technology arena. also look for mergers in the basic materials and energy sectors. for individual investors, it's difficult to guess which companies will get hitched. but market strategist phil dow says m&a activity is go

there can be a correlation made with substantial statistical liability, probably, the would allow us to compare scores and see if there is an aftereffect. that would be in our best interest. commissioner wynns: ok. we will explore that. thank you. president kim: thank you. roll call, please. [roll is called] commissioner norton: reluctantly, yes. president kim: our next item is item q, superintendents proposals for first reading. we have won tonight, authorization to grant or to deny the international school's petition for a new charter school. i made a motion and i need a second. commissioner yee: second. president kim: this will be referred to curriculum committee and budget committee. the next is board members' proposals, item r, for first reading. it is in support of denouncing the deportation of shing ma "steve" li, a dream at student at city college of san francisco. we need a movement to suspend rules.
