my name is doug johnson. i'm a senior planner at the metropolitan transportation commission overseeing our programs in land use and social equity. i'm also very fortunate to be a member of the transatlantic cities network, which is a project of the german marshall fund you'll be hearing from ellen. it is a network of 25 cities, 12 in the u.s., 13 in europe, and oakland is one of those cities, but i, of course, wearing my regional hat, have looked to expand what i have been learning through the network and the opportunities that present themselves to the network and to expand that. and where better to bring a cycling delegation than to the city of san francisco, a city very much on the verge of, i think, turning the tide in favor of cycling where there are 40-some-odd, 43-plus projects waiting in the wings for the environmental lawsuits to come to a close. so it is very exciting to have the opportunity for the delegation to come here, and i think the timely honkly, could not be -- honestly, could not be better

doug, let's shift gears a little bit. as we know, the internet has many positive and negative ways that it can be used. talk to us a little bit about how the internet has contributed to both a positive and a negative perspective on addiction treatment. well, one obvious way that the internet has contributed in a positive way is it gives us a place to go to get more information. so if through the psas that are being put out or through programming that's got a positive message around recovery and recovery from addiction, you can then go someplace and you can actually get useful information, actionable information, you can engage, you can interact with a community of people who have similar concerns, similar problems, you can actually be part of a community in a way that you never could before. so that's a huge obvious benefit. the downside is that any opinion on the subject is fair game. any opinion, whether it be pro-substance use, techniques for substance abuse, anything you can think of that could reinforce, not only the

right, doug? i think one of the key themes that we've been all touching on in this discussion is the notion of authenticity. i think one of the things that ron pointed out is that portrayals of recovery in the media are not necessarily as authentic as they can be and that when portrayals are authentic and they're engaging, they bring people in and the make them want to learn more and be part of the solution and not simply watching the train wreck and getting satisfaction out of that. i think we need to figure out how to frame messages about recovery and integrate authentic depictions of recovery into programming. and recovery month really tries to do that. i think recovery month not only through this show, we feature voices for recovery through this show and it really, it's fascinating because people don't just sugar-coat it. they say, you know, this is a trajectory of what i went through and this is where i am right now, correct, ron? i know that we've shot you and... definitely; it has to be rea

and doug brinkly. special thanks to both of you for being here to participate in what i think will be a thoughtful and interesting discussion. we set this 4 up as a kind of q & a so we can really get into the meat of the great outdoors and the great initiative of the secretary and obama administration to conserve our public lands and waters including full funding for water and land conservation fund and but we're all going to support that so your new initiative can be brought to frew wigs and this is the start of the public lands program we're doing here at the center for american progress. under our denver rep for our center for american progress. we fulfill some colorado roots, mr. secretary. the great outdoors has been a central part of our national character. from the beginning land played a central role until our founding. it sthaped vision and philosophy of our founding fathers and laws they crafted to fwonch the nation. they built a powerful national economy unmatched by our natural resources an

doug, welcome. i will turn the event over to you, secretary, doug. please join us at the front. [applause] >> good morning. thank you all for coming. great to be with you, mr. secretary. i wanted to start, what we're going to do is go for about half an hour here. i'm going to ask questions. then we'll be collecting the cards for 15 minutes from people in the audience, journalists, others that have written a question. we'll try to get to as many as we can. let's begin with america's great outdoors. what is it? how did this report get put together and what is it going to tell us about the obama administration's view of conservation? >> doug, over the last two years, we have done is, worked with the president on our conservation agenda for the obama administration and we already have things that i'm very proud of. passage and signature by the president of one the very first bills in this congress was the 2009 omnibus lands bill which created two million acres of wilderness, 1,000 miles of wild and scenic rivers, three new national parks. that was the down payment. moving forward fr

hello, doug. >> rushkoff: hi. good to be here. in the net's early days, it was easy for me to reassure people about bringing technology into their lives. >> are folks getting a little afraid of the technology, since it's going so quickly? are we going to be left in the dust, or can we keep up? >> rushkoff: well, i think people get scared as things develop, especially... back then, i was convinced the web could help us change in profoundly good ways, allowing us to evolve into better people. >> well, i'd like to introduce you, ms. tollman, to the new human being. ( laughter ) here he is. >> rushkoff: well, it's definitely... it's a new human being that's evolved, i think, to the next level, and i think it's... i think it's fascinating and wonderful to watch. i felt like i was in on a secret, that these old fuddy duddys were just panicking, underestimating our kids' ability to adapt to the new reality before us. over the past 20 years, however, the net has changed from a thing one does to a way one lives-- connected all the time. an

don't worry, doug. you're a good doctor. i know. aah! hurry! unh! aaahhh! unh!ave to stay up here? just until i finish pretending to read the newspaper. hmm. [thinking] or we could just ask him to leave. unh. come on, doug. let's go get some coffee. ms. broderick. bob. oh, hi, ted. how's your wife doing? oh, that's right. i forgot. you freeze up around me. ok. well, i'll see you in court on the 18th. [thinking] ted's possum-like defense mechanism was actually quite brilliant. hello, neena. we got divorced, actually. i'll see you in court on the 18th! [narrating] everybody around here had the sense to stay under the radar when neena broderick was around. well, almost everybody. [whistles] i'm on a scavenger hunt, and i need to find a black-haired, soulless bottom feeder. oh. hi, neena. how ironic. because what i need is a burned-out, permed-up doctor with a god complex and a drinking problem. don't listen to her. most guys would kill for those curls. straighten up, newbie, and i mean that in every sense of the word. this woman is pure molten evil. got it. how do

next speaker, please. >> i am doug from a towing company. we are a local towing company and a supplier of services in san francisco. we support the proposal to reevaluate the city's proposals for the transport of municipal waste. i do not think anybody believes traffic congestion will improve in the near future, and this will produce a sizable number of trucks on highways. as a top-to-bottom company -- it makes more sense to use this method of transport. the cost of on one to transport -- on one to transport -- unwanted transport. there are fewer vehicles on the highway and fewer emissions. thank you. chair chu: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i am tina. i am not here either supporting or not supporting this. the city of pittsburgh would be more than willing to partner with san francisco as private partners to accept the barge. we have a land fill about 8 miles away, and it could be trucked from the waterfront in pittsburgh -- we have a landfill. i also want to take the opportunity. i used to work for the city and county

i might turn the question over to doug. i am not as attuned to what affordable housing funds are out there, but that is why we want to see this adopted as soon as possible. commissioner antonini: i welcome your comments, but i think the point is that the adoption of approved housing elements, there are more than just housing grants that are tied to it. there are all sorts of grants like infrastructure and redevelopment activity. we are required to have an approving -- approved housing element. >> i would just say that when we started this housing element, i was in the third grade. the idea that we need more time is, frankly, insulting. the amount of parsing that is going on is not reasonable. i have been in government for five years and i have never seen the the amount of exaggeration and associated with a document like i have seen this one. out of respect to all of you, this is a policy guide. it is not dakota. the attempt to conflate these things and act as if the world is coming to an end because of this document, to may

this ahead of time so we can coordinate this so we do not have a case where it is immediately and doug op. we want to be made sure to minimize any impact. in the excavation of over a thousand feet, they will be required to provide a mailing to all of the property owners in the area, informing them of the upcoming work. they need to tell how long they expect it to take. if there are inquiries as it relates to construction, not knowing what is going on, please feel free to contact the department. commissioner clyde: thank you for your presentation. i live on lower 24 street, and it is impacted by trees. it is currently being surveyed, and i would like to know are the small property owners being responsible for these sidewalks. >> under the public works co, the property owner is responsible for the sidewalk and his drive for it. the only exception is if the trees -- and his driveway. the only exception is if the trees are maintained by the department of public works. if not, the responsibility would fall on the property owner. >> a couple questions. one i talked about with the staff befor

please welcome doug las schoen. [applause] so, mr. kresky, i turn the microphone over to you. >> good morning. it's great to be here with all of you. as our mie. becomes more national and hopefully more international, and one of my favorite movies is "my cousin vinny." litigating in the south carolina has given me a better understanding of what that's about. [laughter] so it's great to be here with our panel. we've been talking this morning and for months now and years about the ways that independent voters and the emerging independent movement are shaping the political scene in america. independents, as we've seen, have determined and are determining the outcome of presidential and congressional elections. they've introduced a new political reform movement that seeks to address and do something about the problems of partisanship. i'd like to ask each of you from your points of view how you see independents changing the political dynamics today, what does that change look like today? do you want to start, john? >> sure. this is the si

>> doug sipp: i would say the growth has been explosive.'ve been tracking it kind of closely for the past three years, and i've been able to come up with more than 200 clinics that are offering some version of stem cells for some type of medical condition for which there is no really good evidence that the stem cells would be either safe or effective. >> pelley: well, are all of these clinics frauds? >> sipp: on one end of the spectrum, you have people who are doing, essentially, badly designed, uncontrolled human medical experiments for profit. and then at the other end of the spectrum, you just have thieves who are preying on the sick and their families. >> goldstein: now, an a.l.s. patient might say to you, "how could i possibly be worse?" this is the question you get sometimes. "how could i possibly be worse?" >> pelley: "i'm going to die. why not give it a try?" >> goldstein: "i going to die in two or three years. why not give it a try?" well, what if, as a result of this treatment, you ended up in excruciating pain? what if you manage

doug doug, if i can start with you, boy, baby boomers and those who are older make up 54% of the self-employedce as many women starting upbles up businesses as men. those numbers are encouraging. >> right. they're compelling. what i think is very important to realize is i believe women are actually hard-wired to be more successful in business. >> why? >> i think they have a better intuition internally. they're much more reflective about communication, about themselves, seflf-awareness. >> these two ladies, carol and lisa are both passionate about their hobbies, want to get started, but it is intimidating. >> yes. the one thing that holds them back, and this is very common, fear. period. fear is what holds people back from making very, very important decisions and very compelling changes in their lives. >> let me start with carol. you're known around town to your friends, the mondale bread queen. it's your grandmother's secret recipe that you've adopted. everybody says you should go into business. but you haven't. what is holding you back? >> i think like doug said, the biggest thing is just ha

doug -- george h. w. bush, my angelo, warned of the -- pick a favorite, charles. >> these are wonderful guys and women. lewis is a national hero. to me it is a little self indulgent -- indulgent. to me it is like the president and senior staff gets to hang a medal around his childhood heroes. i guess as a president you get perks like air force one and this one. to me, it is a president who indulges himself in thanking people always liked. i did not begrudge it to john lewis. i did not want to be a -- to the party. >> you really think george h. w. bush was a childhood hero? >> he was a hero. >> he needs balance so he obviously has to have a republican. >> could you -- would you turn it down? no, i did not want them at all? >> my chance of being awarded the medal of freedom by barack obama -- it is not for posthumously. >> it reminds me -- america just loves awards. the average fifth grader, has a trophy case. >> the wonderfully gifted and wonderfullyyo yo ma the medal of freedom? >> these are people who ar

doug , a"stumbling obama." they will say senator this or senator that.ther thing about the unions -- it wasn't for the unions, there would be no middle class whether it is white, black because the gave the blacks in a lot of opportunity to move into the middle class. they use the word socialism like it is dirty. when president obama says it socialism, he means that you've got company execs making a profit and their salaries are over 800%, over $1 million per year and yet the republicans think that paying minimum wage is too much. it is purely ridiculous. they never think about the poor and the poor are some of the hardest working people. all of us are not on welfare. is acoded word for blacks. please, give president obama and the first lady michelle obama the acknowledgment that they deserve and receive like all these others that have been there in the white house. thank you, steve. host: don't wait another five years before you call a caller: back. if i can get in. guest: president obama is the president, clearly. i have called him president obama on a
