it is what we call the demographic. we just completed the study. the main findings were that there needs to be different assumptions for non-safety members for people that have less than a 30 years. overall, the retirement rates were higher than we had been assuming long-term based on the experience they looked over the five years. termination rates were higher. it is most likely due to the lay off and the budget situation. in november, they're going to be looking at economic assumptions, which is wage growth, cpi, rate of return. they want to fine tune it down to where there are not employer contributions. if you look at before we lost the $3.50 billion, the contribution rate was in the realm of 04%-6%. that is what the retirement board is striving to maintain. when we lose $3.5 billion, it is an extraordinary event. if we get back to where we are making 7.5% or 7.75%, the contribution rate is assumed to go down, and they used to tell everybody, there is a 10% employer requirement to find your benefits, the benefits promised to the employees. if w

the main thing is to demographics. medicare is expanding rapidly. 2011 is the first year the baby boomers will become eligible for medicare and the medicare population will increase exponentially in the next decade. that is the problem that everyone is trying to bet -- address. these are the estimates of what medicare costs per beneficiary. the blue line are -- is what the prior lot is. -- prior law is. the green line is the 2010 estimates from the trustees report. medicare costs per beneficiary will fall dramatically, supposedly. that is assuming that we will actually be able to get providers to provide medicare services to medicare beneficiaries at these vastly reduced payments. that is what this is about. this is in effect a reduction in medicare benefits as presumed by the bill . but they are starting off at about $12,000 and within a decade, they will fall more than 20%. these are actual dollar amounts, $2,010, they will fall dramatically. we will be paying for medicare beneficiaries less on the cost of providing

students themselves, they vowed to be different, and they vowed that they weren't going to be that demographic. and they really took it to heart to be better. and 7-year-olds, they understood what equity meant. they understood that equity didn't mean giving each child the same thing. they knew that equity meant giving each child what they needed to have in order to succeed in the classroom. so, for example, if china needed a timer on her desk that she flipped every minute and she got to mark a star next to her name if she didn't yell at someone in order to succeed in the classroom, then that's what she got. if i had to listen to justin bieber for five hours as her reward, then that's what i got, and i did that. and it was no problem, because we were investing in our students and investing in our parents and making sure that they got what they needed to succeed. in terms of accountability, we set goals. we set really big goals that were very ambitious, yet attainable and measurable. and we tracked those goals. so in my classroom i had a printout of two shoes brains, and every time my class achi

we also found it crossed in come demographics. we pull the different parts of the country for it made no difference whether you were from a red state or a blue state or purple state or some other states. people did not believe that social security should be cut in order to reduce the deficit. in fact, we got the same comparable levels of results from the ask the question that it should be cut to strengthen finenesses. people do not believe social security should be cut. we as a series of questions about whether or not social security was important in this kind of economic time or whether we thought it was somehow the cause of the deficit problem. again, we found a significant portion of the population believe social security provides the ability and security to its people and very, very few believe it was a drain on the economy despite the many millions of dollars that have been spent to try to convince them otherwise. when you look at the demographic breakouts, it is the same issue. no matter what party you identify with or no ma

. >> i have with me tonight gene from demographic research, he has been helping us with the work, we're very grateful for her assistance. the three of us will be sharing information. i wanted to go over some of the information that's available for the public, and then i was going to start going through the power point presentation. so one thing that hopefully everybody in the audience has an opportunity to have is a copy of the power point that we're going to be going through. there's also a list of frequently asked questions. there is a list of the proposed elementary to middle school patterns. and maps. i'll be sharing information. all of this is going to be available on the web and for general distribution as well. and the board materials are the same, and so if there's any questions about the packet, i'm happy to answer those. >> you all have some material in front of you, correct? thank you. so this is the website. we'll be talking about this a little while, because we will launch it tomorrow after we shared it with the board tonight. we have a lot of great information that will gi

every year, we calculate on the demographics side whether we had a gain or loss. if more people die than we expected or more people retire than we expected, that is translatedÑi into a dollar valu, which is either increase or decrease and actuarial liability for the pension plan. that is coupled with if we made it 7.75%çó or 12.5%, that would be a game because we made more money than we assumed. every year it is determining what the employer contributes. all of those factors are included in the formula. all of them are taken into effect. the $700 million that we have to recognize over the next five years, the same is true, if we made it $1 billion back last year, only $200 million is recognized over the next five years. when you have positive years, better than you expect years, we get back into this area we had previously. every year, all of that is calculated as either increase or decrease in the liability, the actuarial liability. if it is good news, it reduces the employer contribution. if it is experience greater than we expected, either on the dara -- either

you look at the demographics and the demographics -- if you're 20-something and you want to work for a tech firm, you come and you live in san francisco. and i live in the city. i take volers across lombard street all the time. i, in the morning, see the buses sit in the presidio waiting to take all these people down to mountainview and santa clara every day. and you see these companies. and from an h.r. perspective, the people that they want to hire want to live in san francisco. and those people are going to live here, and those companies will come to san francisco. you've seen google do it at hills plaza. that space is completely overprescribed for them in terms of their internal use. you've seen sale force which started in san mateo. sales force has grown from a company that nobody had heard of a couple of years ago. we talked to them three or four years ago. they said we need maybe 200,000 square feet. now they're talking five, 600 square feet. -- five, 600,000 square feet. san francisco is the downtown for that integrated technology economy, and we need to provide the office bu

there are some long-term demographics that are difficult for republicans.n increase in the alert drift of hispanic voters, dwindling of the sword of reagan democrat part of the -- you know, demographics and the population. maybe a young cold war that is permanently more liberal than the population as a whole. so i guess it just seems to me from the standpoint of republicans, this has been a very optimistic and all. but it does seem to me if you look down the road, there are some real difficulties. >> i think the advantage of the health care debate, which i think actually is two really good advantage right now is they made a mistake of plena out over time which say there is a window that's been implemented. that window is not close to your the fact that their numbers increasingly going against the entrance of popular opinion give them some running room. the fact that we now are debating it through the 2012 presidential election could work to their advantage as well. a lot of the most onerous aspects of the go command prior to a lot of its benefits. a lot of

i don't know of a demographic we would be doing better in.seem to be doing a little less bad among younger voters than other demographic. again, it makes sense to him to go out and do the things that he's doing today. but look, there's no doubt if you go from winning an election by, you know, eight points to, you know, where we are now. you're not going to -- you're going to lose altitude across the board. apparently lost a little bit less with younger voters than other folks. >> mary, to that point, james is going through the important math of a midterm election. after a presidential election you have a fallout. the groups that fall off the most are african-americans and younger voters. the biggest drops are among african-americans and younger voters. big part of the president's base. the groups that tend to be steady are older voters, the mobile reliable voting bloc. that's not trending well for the democrats. in terms of the math, the legos of building a successful coalition, what's the president's challenge with five weeks out? >> well, t

demographic youth bulge and it's actually representative of a lot of the muslim world that we've seen how america reaches out to them will be very difficult i think on the one hand you have policy makers who say we must continue with the mission to continue with the occupation to bring about a more effective political and there are those who say we should decrease our present simply because we either we or fermenting more unrest in the process i would agree with the latter but i also think that it's not necessarily zero in fact i was in cobol and i. talk to some of the workers who lived there and lived there for decades so that they had even greater freedom of movement when it was simply just the taliban in the mujahideen there are verses one the u.s. troops in the western troops who are there because sometimes western troops become a magnet for violence and given areas certainly we can't say that about all areas but in certain pockets of the country it's not simply that you confuse troops and there is greater stability all of the times you use troops in this route or unrest more i e

the whole notion of a demographic imperative is key for us in convincing foundations, corporations and others that diversifying this field and making sure that latinos are not only represented but serve as very critical. as somebody based in miami, i have to say i am a little embarrassed about the florida law. but i do believe that with the help of some folks outside the state, there will be some greater awareness of why it's a problem.

with the demographics we have in san francisco, everyone should be and can be celebrated as asian-pacificrican heritage month. i cannot agree more. but looking around the room tonight, it is really a true do like that so many friends from the communities, from all communities, from all walks of life have decided to join us for our celebration. and it really means a lot to us. the truth of the matter is in a diverse city like san francisco where we call home, not only every month can be asian pacific american heritage month, every month can be african american heritage month. every month can be seen the demise of. every month could be irish american, every month could be women's history month. don't you agree with me?

there are some long-term demographics that are very difficult for the republican. there is an increase in hispanic voters, a dwindling of the reagan democrats. maybe a young cohort that is more liberal than the population as a whole. it may be that -- it seems to me that, from the standpoint of republicans, this has been a very optimistic panel. if you look down the road, there are some real difficulties. >> i think the advantage of the health care debate, which i think is to the republican advantage, is that they made the mistake of playing it out over time. there is this long window of being implemented. the window is not close. the numbers are going against it in terms of popular opinion. that gives them some running room. the fact that we now, in debating it through the 2012 presidential election -- that could work to their advantage. a lot of the most onerous aspects of the bill come in prior to a lot of its benefits. a lot of taxes began prior to its benefits. as it is implemented, that plays to their advantage. the first piece of legislation has to be on thi

other demographics have grown less than 2% while this has grown 3%.focus on where we want to grow our economy. host: we have this video showing 3.5% of growth. when you are self-employed, you cannot be fired but you cannot quit either. what does this mean for the people who choose this as a way of work? when is the time to go back to trying to find a more conventional job? guest: this is why we need to shift our policy. the first three years of the business cycle is so crucial. a lot of businesses fail. it is difficult. so many factors go into the business. you need money and finances. then the tax benefits. it is a challenge. what we need to do is i likened it to the tv show "survivor." the current economic climate is like that show. a business owner has to struggle and go through all of these challenges in order to achieve. once they win the game, they get $1 million. once a business is successful, then the government helps you. then there are tax detections. but you have to survive in order to get all of that. we are providing assistance on the fro

that's the demographic if you look at the 18-29 year olds. there's little enthusiasm in that demographic. >> why is that? >> in midterms, typically rk older folks are the ones who show up in greater numbers. i think there are lots of folks who may be disallusioned. it's a big concern you hear from democrats. why else would the president talk to a bunch of reporters, college reporters. >> is that true? you're ruining my day here. here's politico's new battleground poll showing obama with a 65% personal approval. 46% job approval. 38% says he needs to be re-elected. 49% say republicans have done a better job on the economy than the president would. 51% say -- with a 40% who say the president -- gene, here we are back to the interesting gap between the president's popularity, his family matter, his wife, they like the kids. they like this. coming out spritely, a bit debonair, up beat. they don't like the record so far. >> some don't like it. some are disallusioned. some who wish he had moved more quickly on his progressive agenda, but he remains

by every sign we see there's little enthusiasm among the demographic. >> why is that, charles? >> in midterms typically older folks are the ones who show up in greater numbers. i think there are lots of folks who may be disillusioned. or don't have the same energy levels as 2008. it's a big concern you hear from democrats. energying the base. why else would the president talk to a bunch of reporters, college reporters? he doesn't like reporters to begin with, yet alone sit around with college reporters. >> is that true? here's politico's new battleground poll showing president obama with a 65% personal approval. 46% job approval. 38% says he deserves re-election. 49% say republicans have done a better job on the economy than the president would. that's pretty hefty. 51% say they would do a better job -- over 40% who say -- gene, we're back to the interesting gap between the president's popularity. people like his smile, his family manner, his wife, they like the kids. they like where he came from. i think in most cases, or at least in the majority of cases. they like this, what

with regard to the demographics and how much revenue is brought in and how much employment that industry has and no benefits the city, so instead approved keeping on beating up, could staff do that? >> we can send in a request letter. >> ok, good, thank you. president newlin: commissioner meko? commissioner meko: how is that moving forward? >> we were almost there, and then the box of citations were printed poorly, and they are in reprint right now, so we are ever so close. we expect to see them in the next two days. so this weekend. keep your fingers crossed. commissioner meko: remember, i am a printer. i totally understand. you issued citations -- i am sorry, notices of violation rather than citations. would any of these have merit to be a citation? -- to the citation? >> these are all pretty minor. operating without a permit, and medici would probably get one for not having to note -- not being able to produce a permit when asked. andy hookas -- and the hooka dream lounge -- >> and ad hoc committee to oversee the promoter to report back to the commission. commissioner meko: and i thin

so the demographics are changing. we're watching that very closely. we've en close to projection. we' got pretty good forecasting tools in the sense of what's happening out there. i think relocatables is part of a panel that we have in looking at a lo range plan. we have a five year long range plan right now where we're looking at how we'll make these transitions. we had phase one at yorktown high school just completed and we're excited about that. we had a renovation at jefferson middle school coming out october 2nd w have an open house at 10:00 a.m. also have a referendum coming before the public for our last comprehensive high school, wakefield high school and looking for a lot of community support. >> you mentioned the change of demographics. has that bean challenge to you? what is the change? >> first thing you haveto realize is we're increasing the population and sohere have been some shifts. those shifts have been relatively slight. we've seen decrease in some pop layings and those are small, relatively smal and some increase in some of the popular ethnic race groups as wel

>> we have a changing demographic, 30% of the district is african american, i don't think they are herecan americans, i think they are here as concerned folks who know that baltimore county is a leader in the region and they want to make sure that baltimore county is moving in the right direction. i'm so grateful if for their support and the support of dr. frank reed and the support of the teachers. >> reporter: we're going to send it back to you on television hill. >> that is the active word, mary, thank you so much. >>> here are the results right now from bun one of the most contentious rays. very much in the air. it's a dead heat almost. 48% for each of the candidates. bernstein with a slight lead at 14,402 votes. pat jessamy with 49%. >>> a candidate backed by tea party activists pulling off a major surprise. 41-year-old christine odonnel won the republican candidate over mike cassel. o' donnel was virtually unknown but she road a wave from the tea party. >>> we invite you to stay with wjz for coverage from the campaign 2010. >> is it me or does she have a resemblance to sarah palin

we do have those demographics at our office. supervisor chiu: that would be great. colleagues? supervisor mirkarimi: when is a case resolved? in terms of victims services, when do they seem to be satisfied? is there payout for compensation? or will the victim's family basically say -- i just do not need any more. what is the assembly line process? >> that is on the victim or their family. typically we say that the case that iran's. the prosecution might be over or maybe there was no prosecution at all, but we have had victims come back years later, perhaps because they were victimized again. we are always there for them and we have a system with the advocates keep notes of their context of the service provided so that the victim comes back where left off. supervisor mirkarimi: does that include psychological services in terms of facilitating the connection to the victim or the family of the victim? >> yes. the victim compensation program has certain limits. if they exhaust that amount, they will not get any monetary benefits under the program. obviously, under our office that w
