of the problems about why this has been postponed again is on the business side not the technology do so so i as grateful as and i am to you for stepping up and taking over because our technology person had to go out on leave is that you know, i feel like when a seller was first starred the previous director was involved in the by his side and her deputy first 56 i can't day was involved and pamela was involved as a director at the last meeting i was pretty hard on the deputy director because of the lack of involvement in the business side many hindsight i shouldn't have been hard on him because he was just placed there from the minute that 56 i can't day left the minute that pamela left us i feel like the director huey should have been much more engaged in the business side when whether he appointed director sweeny or tom this was really what hung this up i think to go back to what commissioner walker do suicide r said is not just about we want to make things easier for the contractors out there who are wondering where the permits are and the homeowners who want to get a permit and want

and so, and when the people do miss they let us know ahead of time and i know that we have vacation and things happening, and things that come up. and so... >> it was just a global winner to all commissioners. >> yes. >> a global to all commissionerers. >> those are good. >> this commission is just pretty good and we want to keep it out there as a reminder. i also want to along with the director to thank the dpw and supervisor weiner for setting up the permits for the sidewalks on castro street because our sidewalks are not widened and are opened for the most part and it is not finished and we still have tweaking and they are double the size and we have a lot of merchants that would like to take advantage of that. >> right. >> and finally, when we adjourn tonight, i would like to adjourn for nancy rodric and she is the wife of bob rodric and bob is the president of the valley merchants and also on the board of the district merchants and nancy and bob together, founded the law, center 30 years ago and so i would like to adjourn the meeting tonight, and in honor of nancy, and that is all

three times a year, we do need to provide for new fuel and bring it to the power plants. soeed to be self sufficient in the arena of providing fuel for our own needs, for at least one installation similar to bouche and the reactors for radio isotopes, we also want to provide for the fuel needed for that. so the calculus between our experts and subject matter experts, it's to be able to provide the fuel needed for an installation such as the one we have in bouche as well as the iran reactor which is used for medical research and nuclear isotope productions. if we can reach these objectives, we will have a need for 190,000, swu. so for those 190 thousand you can say it is the fuel needed toward one power plant. >> rose: do you believe the present attacks against eye cision in syria will be successful. >> do you mean the united states -- >> rose: arab countries. with the support of the free syrian army. that's the strategy. >> it is not clear for us. what they're speaking. whether they're under the pressure of their own domestic public opinions and want to put on a show, a thea

headed up the citywide survey with the removal of signs and we're doing practice enforcement incorporation with supervisor chiu's office so we're trying to do pro-active enforcement with you we get seven hundred plus complaints a year and right now, we're in closing out more seven hundred and making what you think our backlog but try to publicize how to make complaints on our website or, of course, 311 make a complaint we've got to it. >> you have seven hundred complaints today is that a rough average per year and it's increasing people that have complaints they can direct them and making people aware of the planning code violations it has counted for the amount of complaints. >> on per staff member they manage a hundred complaints over the course of a year. >> yes. and straightforward the step back praying and more complex like affordable housing. some cases a litigation over the years. >> it seems like not have had staffing but thank you for your service in the tenderloin i notice a difference i want to cont t

they have been reluctant to do so. haven't been able to do so. reluctant to continue to absorb costs and passing them down to you and me. gerri: save me money. where do we get discounts. >> use apps like mint for tracking and budgeting. when you're out there shopping red laser for comparison shopping. there are statistics average family can save a thousand dollars if they put time in to do comparison shopping. doing more strategically, grocery store go generic. apples instead of oranges. skip the cheese. gerri: don't buy oranges. they're not good. >> oranges are bad. oranges and grapefruits, crops have been terrible. if you bought them in the grocery store you know they don't taste that. gerri: i love oranges. veer remarks appreciate it. >>> u.s. taking fight against isis straight to the source, syria. we'll have a live report on that. when companies move oversees to avoid paying taxes shareholders are the big winner, right? not so fast. a look at a sneaky irs law you want to know about. ♪ guys! you're not gonna believe this! watch this. sam alway

and what it is that they have to do. so, i will go back to the question. do you agree that there is among all of the regions in the bay area or in the immediate area that there is some understanding and an agreement with how to proceed with this sea level rise? >> let me answer in two ways, to be sure that we get the context right, 9 counties and 41 cities that actually touch the bay, there are over 100 special districts and i don't know the number but i know that it is over 100 and even more, daunting than that, they have a sea grant fellow who spent the year cataloging the number of public algt agencies that actually have jurisdiction over any piece of the shore line that touches the bay and it is over 150. and that includes, you know, things as big as the east bay and park and as small as a school district and we have a daunting task ahead of us and the way that we are going to end up doing or creating a regional shore line strategy which includes everybody from san francisco, south around and so on for the 500 miles that we have, is that i think to look

it is well past time for him to do so. as his recent statements from his admission on august 28th august 28th that, quote, we don't have a strategy yet. to his suggestion on september 3rd that our best bet is to try to, quote, shrink isis' sphere of influence until they are a manageable problem. those comments are not encouraging. the objective here is not to make isis manageable. the objective here is to protect the national security interests of the united states and to destroy terrorists who have declared jihad on our nation. neither are the two things we already know, that the president will propose in his, quote, new game plan, namely that he will not be requesting authorization from congress for military action against isis, and that his model is the counterterrorism policies pursued by his administration the last five years. neither of these are encouraging. i ask the president to reconsider both of these points. while isis is obviously part of the scourge of radical islamic terrorism that has bedeviled the west for

have been providing services for the last eight 8 years and are familiar with the challenges in doing so. at the last board meeting you heard from both employees and union officials of their concern that their wages might be slashed because the contract was going to a low bidder which at the time was a non-union company. over the last two 2 weeks your staff has worked hard to address those concerns and bringing this contract back to you with andrew commitment now paying those union scale wages. a happy ending it would seem. sf near maet t mta gets services. hardly. when it comes too easy to be true, it usually is. the red flag is flashing a warning here to take a hard look. the time for due diligence is now and not when the problems begin. only three companies submitted a bid which is the largest contract in the bay area. that should have you call for questions. the two union companies, abc security and cyber security who are aware of the wages both bid i dental cal numbers, 6.4 numbers. andrew 8.9 million. 25 percent less. of course at the time andrew submitted it's bid it was not requi

. >> it's not something we want to do on a regular basis because it's too many money and hassle frankly so we want to have the option to do without paying the one off which just if we do it two, three timings a year covers the cost so there's that. we don't plan on having live music. we have the option to for a private event. it's not something we want to organize or set up. >> i think what she is trying to say if i might that she's doing less intensive type of activeity in the space that was known for a lot of live music and activity around it so maybe that's where the intention of the reach out is done. >> yeah. i am happy to redo any of that or let people know it's far more low key kind of vibe. an ipod and a bar. that's it for the most part. >> commissioner perez. >> thanks for coming in. >> thank you. >> would you consider having an open house and having the community come in. >> absolutely. it's a neighborhood invite, softd opening schedule for the neighborhood merchants and neighbors. >> by that time you can talk about the type of entertainment you plan to have. >> sure. >> and have

lee wasn't doing so well so he left really quickly. and unfortunately, mr. lee passed away that evening. that had a great impact on brian and me. it was very sad, but it was so touching that he had seen mr. lee and mr. lee had confirmed that brian was "number one driver." >> this is san francisco paratransit. it's not perfect; we have our ups and downs: late trips, frustrated customers, stressed out drivers. but at our best, we get our riders where they need to go on time and with a smile. and when we pay attention real carefully and notice what's happening on the van, taxi, or at the senior center, we notice that our drivers make a difference in the rider's lives and the riders make a difference in the drivers lives. >> good afternoon and welcome to the city and school district select committee for september 25, our first regularly scheduled meeting post legislative recess. i want to thank the staff at sfgtv and jennifer lowe for making the transcript available on line and recognize our clerk derek evans. i am your chair and joined by our board of education

actually you don't say oh this is a baby boomer group so you can have someone 50 and someone 25 i do yeah so you oh boy as an instructor i have to offer modifications and i'll always tell them at every class you may have done my class yesterday you may be doing it every day is different listen to your body if you did a plank today yesterday for two minutes today may only be a minute you just can't say plank on public television mm hmm expect everyone to know what it is a plank is...? i'm a plank-a-holic so here we go [laughter] a plank-a-holic is a certain exercise that works your core your core big time and your core is not just your ab it's your belly your hip your back your center describe the plank plank can be either wrist under shoulders extending the arms go ahead and your shoulders to your heel would be in a diagonal or you can have it a little more difficult they say is elbows under shoulders like a push up? like a push up but? but you're parallel to the floor your abs are engaged and you're basically parallel like a plank to the floor elbows under shoulders why is that such

now, i can't imagine th because of the nature of the work that i do. so i'm looking at the headline and thinking i couldn't do that. so youpent a long time working on this book. >> i did. >> tell me what the motivation was. >> well, as a sociology graduate student, my research focus is on body image and women'sissues. so i surprised myself that when i was engaged to be married i kind of got caughtup in all of that bridal hoopla about looking beautiful that one day and i felt so frustrated with myself about my own body image issues that i decided to needed something big to push back on that bigedia telling me i needed to look perfect. >> first tell me about th uncomfortableness you had with your body image. >> well, when i was in high school and college, i had anorexia. i recovered from it, butart of recovery is staying really in tune with how you're feeling. and when you're triggered by something, you need to find a way to get back to a safer space. so for me when i was looking in the mirror trying on wedding dresses and thinking maybe i should lose five

it is true we do a lot of testing and most of the tests are not very smart. so what you see running through the conversation is quantity over quality. part of that is because the federalism. the only thing barack obama can do is keep demanding results in a cant do much to help kids and students and teachers get there. so they keep pushing the test a mother and now we see where it has got a because you have this kind of crazy quilt of testing. if there's something positive to say, it is the 47 states that have adopted a common core state anders are doing something all the education superpowers have done. it is very, very hard to inject rigor into a system. one way to do it is to set clear, rigorous, more coherent targets for what kids should know at every grade level than what you have before. .coherence and consistency and clarity is really lacking from the u.s. system partly because the federalism. cc huge fights over the standard in some of those fights need to happen. some of them do not and would not happen in another country. those documents are living docu

i don't think so. do think there's anything positive that can happen here if the republican party has to do what the democrat party did, which is think more deeply about how interventionist we want to be? >> well, i think it already has forced them a bit in that direction because you have that louder international -- the wing of the party that was against the internationalism, the isolationism from rand paul. and he has, as you noted, really quieted down. been somewhat more supportive here. now, the interesting question is, how long does this last? i was at this tiny anti-war rally of the left outside the white house yesterday. they say, yes, the nation is behind us right now, but wait until some of the footage of the collateral damage starts to roll in and the public support will dissipate. and that is very likely to happen. so, if they wait long enough, then they're actually going to be back in that muddle again where you can't get an authorization. >> friend of the show, dana milbank. thanks for your t

there's all different art directors for those, but i solely do the simon & schuster imprint. >> host: so you do the covers of books. >> guest: yeah. >> host: what goes into a cover of a book? >> guest: well, the first thing that when we hear about this project, usually from the editor, we find out what the book is about. there's a manuscript or sometimes there isn't, sometimes there's just a little bit to read, and you get a flavor of what the voice of the author is. and from that we kind of have a discussion with the editor, the publisher and the author to find out do they have any preconceived notions of what they're looking for, and it's always good to hear that up front. you get -- even if they don't, you get a sense of their aesthetics, and you can do some research at the bookstores, see what the competition is like, what the -- what books they're going to be facing in that limited book shelf space. >> host: well, i want to start with this one, and this is former senator james webb -- >> guest: yeah. >> host: his new book, "i heard my country calling." how did this develop? how did

or do i need okay. so is there a motion to take these recommendations as an amendment to the resolution? >> so moved. >> u. >> okay moved any objections no objections this passes as amended and is there a recommendation to send this to the full board for approval. >> so moved. >> without objection yes. >> excuse me. >> as the committee report. >> as a

probably just of us were the stylist early that it was or what was she doing. so this is. the she needed to use. only to chew on the charity and the money store will post the what's your distorted need to be able to put to him a push so some see. public shoeless shows us. clubs or can. you just to a pool to show for the words told. you were under. the building were a myth. robots as well going to start a good novel. or tell you of the door and its door to a bomb goes on you would you. come to it as a fortune in store and you'd to be able to be able with. your children's know which . tesco not to which i'm bored. well as a. local school board and you do a deal in this poll it will be more but almost for. me if you don't be able to move on. but you know. in towns. and then. using some. new more. you will and that it's good to move with the money would you sleep through it as a way to get on up into some space to do. so. when we come to talk about the addiction to cigarettes where you understand quite clearly that there is either smoking or not smoking we believe com

understands the american people don't want amnesty but there is an election coming up, and so he intends to do the policy they don't want, they don't believe in, that subverts the rule of larks but h-- that subverts the rule of law, but he intends to wait until after the election so that senate democrats request campaign and say they had -- senate democrats can campaign and say they had nothing to do with it. what does that snai that he thinks they won't remember by the time the next election happens? higher'here's the bottom line: y way to solve this crisis, the only way to protect these kids and prevent these little boys and little girls from being physically abused and sexually abused is to end president obama's amnesty, to pro-speckively stop the promise of amnesty that is causing these kids to come here illegally. i introduced legislation in this body in the united states senate to do exactly that. and the house of representatives, to their credit, stood up and led. they stayed in session an extra day before the august recess to come together a understan and pe legislation that i had intr

we are already doing so in iraq syria,will now do so in and my understanding is we will do so in a way that is get thaty going to enemy's attention. but i think we've got to be in forefront of this. we have seen the saudis prepare trainingn the role of moderate syrian oppositionists, start to support our air operations. it's going to take time to build and solidify this coalition. and in other to do that, they have to be sure that we are committed, as general mattis has said, for the long haul. that we are not going to get started, get them in, and then back. so it's going to take a little time to build mutual confidence, some questions about them. but they will be a vital member over time a more and more engaged member of the coalition. they're already started. thatr, i would only add the fewer restrictions we place on our own selves going into more apt we are to see other nations give their full measure. restrictions in terms of how much time we're willing to commit to it, or if we say there are certain elements of our national power that we're going to take off the in advance, it ca

the vast majority of police departments do so i think quite well. where we find problems it is incumbent upon us to use federal law to make sure that in fact occurs. >> what predicated this? this is a thing where we read a lot of stuff. you said there is no question there is justification for opening it. it just sounds like we talked to people and read some stuff. what specifically, there are cases that specifically predicated the opening of this? >> you seem dismissive when you say we read a lot of stuff. that is kind of what we do. >> i know but you are saying there is no question to you but for people who don't know what you read and don't know what you are looking at, what specifically have you seen that said yes, we have to open this investigation? >> ile let molly get into more of the specifics. there are variety of documents and materials contain in the public record that exists about the percentages of stops that occurred that involve certain ethic groups and whether those are consistent with the numbers of people who will make up the popula

i called scott wiener's office twice inform him i wanted to do this and hoping for his support on this. so i don't know i mean that's about what i have done. >> okay. do you have any documentation or proof that you doesn't the neighborhood outreach? >> yeah, max, the other owner, max tocarev who isn't here today who is on vacation i believe he has the documentation and working with cammy too. >> yes. he did submit. there is one letter in the pack get we received a second one for some reason didn't find end up in the packet that i am trying to find out now from the castro merchants association. >> yeah. >> thank you. >> my only question have they given you any idea when it's going to end, the construction? >> it clearly depends on whom you ask. you ask some of the -- i'm sorry. >> >> [inaudible] >> sidewalks. >> are you talking about the sidewalk construction? it really depends who you ask. supervisor wiener came last week and said that all of the planks that are leading up to each business would be down by august 13. they are not. it has been one -- to be honest one deception after another

but i -- so i think that's why what you're doing is so important is that exercise and what you eat andt in your body has so much to do prior to getting a disease, but once you have a disease it's even that more important to be eating right and exercising and -- and trying to get as much organic food as you can into your system because i think -- you know, it's expensive and a lot of people feel they don't have that option. i believe it's important. >> i read that you rt of money for cancer research. i was wondering what kind of cancer research you are looking at. alternative, conventional where are you raising the fun and where are you spending the money? >> i don't believe that that cure is imminent. so i believe that research is research. finding drugs that are less toxic that you can live with cancer making it a chronic disease that you can live with and not die from is more important than focusing on the cure. so my research monies that ignorant go to finding these new drugs. and ironically one of the drugs -- research i was putting my money into ended up being able to go into a ph

that is why i'm so grateful for the values voter summit. we know we have to do more than move legislation. we have to move hearts. that is why we have to remind ourfederal sills since -- fellow citizens that make us so exceptional. we do not apologize that. we brag about it to the rest of the world. [applause] you see, we have been such a force for good for about the last 100 years, the world was safeguarded by what was known as pax britannica. england was the world's military and economic superpower. as we know, things did not stay that way. somewhere in the middle of the 1940's we move from what was called pax britannica two pax americana. why? in the mid-1940's, the united states of america became the economic superpower of the world. when that happened, we also became the military superpower of the world. we are a force for good. it brought peace to different regions of the world. you see, i think it is time that we wake up. that mantle is slipping away. , sometimes it is absolutely despairing to serve here in washington dc. at the same time, we are told as

block. >> yes. >> and it is only, curb to curb and 16 feet wide. >> it is a really tiny place and so doinghe jazz trio and discussions and lunchtime band, and all of the music, and so you are doing small compact things. >> and there are a few events that would be able to show at a specific time and participate in the events but in general, the lunchtime events are sort of circle in and out as you have your lunch. >> and is it free. >> open to the public. >> everything that is there, i believe on what i have shown you open to the public. >> the private events would get a different permit and do that on their own. >> and you are not serving anything. >> no. >> no alcohol. >> good for you. >> i mean, i think that this is a really interesting experiment. and i wish you well with it for sure. >> thank you very much. >> and so have you, and i see may and june, is it proposed or already happened. >> there was an updated one and we are actually and i could have a copy here of september and october. >> did anything happen in may and june. >> no, so we were basically through what we thought was the

do this. and we have done so in the past and we continue to do so and we will continue to do it in the future.rkey has institutionalized itself in accordance with the eu institutions and mechanisms. and the work that we have carried out in turkey, we have achieved all of this. i hope that this process can go on much more swiftly and we achieve our goals. we have a role in the alliance of civilizations and our aim is to prevent the clash of and work with an alliance of civilizations and we would continue to do so. >> are we closer to the clash of civilizations today because of what we are seeing happening in the region? >> unfortunately, we see members and wesame civilization have to revisit this issue. and people living in the region and countries elsewhere should not be testing each other. they have to work together towards peace and they have to talk about what they can do to ensure peace in the world. , we cane can do that ensure an alliance of civilizations. the ballot boxes, that is something we have to achieve. >> this reminds me of the theme you have talked about. sectarianism and the n

[laughter] we do. so some of these are not as good as they should be and, again, i would encourage my colleagues in the insurance policy side make sure these things really are reliable and that, in fact, if a patient has to pay more than your cost estimators say, that there is a way for the patient to tell you that so that you can see the varian minneapoliss and maybe talk -- variances and maybe talk to the provider and say what are you doing? something to really make transparency work. then we can have a little more market at the fringes. >> great. well, thank you and, again, i'd like to just thank all of you for joining us today. i'd like to give a special thank you to katherine santora and carolyn meyerss, katie mcdonald and their team who helped put this on today. i'd also like to let everyone know that there'll be a recording available on our web site next week, nihcm.org, and then please join me now in a final round of applause for our wonderful panel. [applause] [inaudible conversations] >> you can

there are so many reasons and causes for hair loss that it's impossible just to do one blanket answer a couple of answers. according to -- salon in los angeles, hair tends to grow faster in the spring and summer because our oil glands work faster due to the hotter temperatures, so we might experience more shedding during this time as well. on the flip side, everything slows down during the cool winter months. another thought, have you tested your testosterone? even women have test toast roan and for men, it's not just about low t. too much can cause you to lose your hair as well. also, check your thyroid. low thyroid can cause you to lose your hair. not eating correct or enough protein can have an effect. look for mild or kchemical free shampoos online. the essential oil rosemary is known for hair dprout and making a mask out of yogurt, eggs and avocado can help when mixed with rosemary. finally, i've heard this biotin stuff loss of hair. doesn't make it grow, but it slows down loss. who knows, your hair just one you don't think of. i mean, short of medication kuzing hair loss, i hope

so we are hosting these 1.5 million people. but as we do that, the rest of the world is hosting 120-- 130,000, so there is a big difference. and we have invested so far 3.5 billion dollars in this effort. there are also wounded people coming there palestine, gaz az and about 130 of them have arrived in turkey so far. some have been treated already, others are in the process of being treated. so turkey is fulfilling this humanitarian effort. >> describe for me the continues in the refugee camps, so that the world understands what the challenge it is for you. >> i think i should say there are four types of refugee camps that we have at the moment. we have some tent camps which we had to set up very quickly, urgently. then we set up some container cities, container cities were set up. but then there are also others who have their own financial needs who could be settled in some of the cities. and fourthly, we have opened up our school, school buildings to house these refugees. >> do they in some cases, if they are syrian kurds represent a secu

so i realized that there is a consequence to every exercise you do. >> and there's a right way and a wrong way you can go about your exercise routine. we hear the myths all the time. so what we love to do is bust those myths for our readers. some of the top ones we're going to be sharing today. and if you want to talk about a part of you you don't want to get big but accidently gets big, women always complain about their legs. a myth is i can't work out my butt without getting my legs big. this is false. you have to pick the right exercises. that means you're not doing so many of those squats and lunges. our quads take over for the butt. it's really like you're trying to aim for the gluts but you're really getting your legs in there. >> is that because we're engaging the gluts? i'm sorry, engaging the thighs and not the glutes? >> absolutely. one quick fix for that is that if you squeeze your glutes at the top of the move and also press through your heels, you're going to hit that butt muscle more than you would than letting those quads take over. and there's some completely quad-free

so much. i am superexcited to be here. i will do the official opening. so, welcome, everyone to this meeting. you can find "inform" automobile. i'm excited to be here. i lived the castro over a decade ago and it's exciting to be back home. and the last time i was here was a few months ago for the mother's day singing rendition of "frozen." and there were hundreds of little girls and boys that marched across the stages in costume and it was really special. this is a different -- equally but more important type of evening, but it's exciting to be back in the castro. i have the great pleasure of introducing a phenomenal woman and great friend, marianne cooper. marianne is a stanford socialist who works at the institute for gender research, and i first go to know her when she wrote an aural called "the other f-word." any guesses what the word was? female is a good guess. others? feminism. and the article was about women in college, who were taking a feminist studies class but didn't want anyone to call them a feminist, and marianne brought such a sense of hum

that's what you do in socialist land. sothink everybody is having a good laugh about this on capitol hill, right? >> i think the general consensus is she is not going to do the interview. especially after tonight. not going to do the interview. >> after tonight. all right. but i want you to keep trying. >> i will do my best. i'm going to send sour doughurdo bread from san francisco makes the best. willfully -- willie mays. try to bribe her. >> that's right. i think she suspect for bribes. >> jesse watters, everybody. ed said that. not me. >> jesse watters, giving the folks a chance to grade president obama. upcoming. eachwon't have a claim.wners that's why allstate claim free rewards gives you money back for every year you don't have one. and why if you're part of the other 5%, allstate offers claim rateguard. so your rates won't go up just because of a claim. no matter what comes your way, your home protects you. ...protect it back allstate home insurance from an allstate agent. finally, the purple pill,hr the #1 prescribed

they just don't do that. it's so inspiring from especially this area where we are -- were claiming credit is what we do. that's what capitalism is based on. these guys just don't do that. the contras is so remarkable. talking that getting those folks to serve and guards, that's what would be so great is that sort of thing we do not going to shine the light on themselves. they are not going to say i did this come even though they may have played some small role. that's something that would be so refreshing, so helpful. >> we're going to open it up to questions year. we have a great group. we have microphones without question raise your hand and will get a microphone to you. before we do that as we get set up, i will probably do it again at the end, but kerry how grateful i am. i can't speak on behalf of anybody, but i know for our generation so much of what guys want is just for the stories to be told, the stories that are meant to be told. if you know sean, you know it's not about him. he just saw what he wants every
