i want to add something, too, to what dr. smith said about campaigning.s colleagues over the years in putting eisenhower books together, and one in particular was lynn hall who was a theodore roosevelt republican and former national chairman of the republican party. i interviewed him in oyster bay, new york, very close to the teddy roosevelt homestead some years ago. and i asked him that very question. and i think that he would have agreed with your response entirely, that dwightizeen our was not -- dwight eisenhower who enjoyed campaigning, but he said the two greatest natural politicians he had seen in his entire life were al smith and dwight eisenhower. he said these were two people who had a natural talent for it. that is the ability to say the right thing at the right time to make the gesture and so forth. and he had, he had a talent for campaigning. and i think that that is manager that he -- something that he probably did not -- he was also older, remember. i mean, he was well into his 60s when he was running, so he did not have the energy of a ric

dr. crystal smith spangler, co-author of the study. good to have you on the program.nks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. >> were you surprised by the findings? >> well, we did a larger study than previous studies had been done. a study in 2009 didn't find very many differences in nutritional content comparing organic and conventional food. our study was much larger. we thought perhaps we'd find more differences. we were surprised we didn't find more differences. >> what kind of pushback are you getting on these findings? >> you know, i'm getting responses from -- e-mails from both sides. some people saying, this is what i suspected all along. so it's good to see my suspicions confirmed. other people who are quite surprised and shocked by this. so i am getting responses from both angles. >> so what was the most surprising thing you found? that it's not actually necessarily better for you? >> i think what i really learned from this study is the significant amount of variation between nutrient levels in different foods. there are a lot of different factors that g

. >> hello, commissioners, michael smith, planning commission staff, the dr project is proposing a 22 thousand square foot restaurant, it's not a formula retail use, it comes from the adjacent resident to the north who has concerns about trash, loitering, and traffic that the project could potentially cause in the neighborhood. i met with the dr requester recently to understand her concerns. what i saw were several vehicles on her block that were parked illegally, and it was going to the dr requesters front yard, this block, faxon avenue has no parking until 6 p.m., the proposed restaurant is primarily, it's a sit-down restaurant, so patrons are not likely to park in this area or for quick visits as i saw when i went out there. the plans also show a bar use inside the restaurant, and she was concerned that that would be normal bar use, however, the bar that's proposed is for a more casual dining experience and this restaurant would only have sort of the beer and wine. the sponsor operate as similar restaurant in oakland also within a residential neighborhood so we believe he has exper

dr. edellman. but i was asked to speak on behalf of stu smith. he, like me, he's a native san franciscan. you know, he has seen the tra trajectory of our community, has seen what has gone on in the history of the gay community here in san francisco. and i think that perspective is important. i don't come out here a lot to speak on behalf of anybody but i'm delighted to be here to speak on his behalf. he's a member of the disabled community, the hiv community, he's a small business leader, understands housing, is a wonderful volunteer at shanti, just is an incredible human being and i'm thrilled to speak on his behalf and also offer my recommendation to the folks i already mentioned. thanks so much. >> chair kim: thank you for being here. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is martha knutson chairs of the democratic club. i want to thank you for creating this important task force. i got to sit here for a while and it's just awesome what is happening here in this historic moment. i want to acknowledge we're sharing that feeling today and i'm sure you are too. i'm proud to speak in suppo

. >> reporter: the discovery is featured in an hour-long special on the smith tone yann channel september 30th. drking insists the words written in the 4th century long after jesus died do not prove jesus was married. >> it is not evidence for us historically that jesus had a wife. it's quite clear evidence, in fact, that some christians probably in the second half of the second century, that's between about 150 and 200 a.d. thought that jesus had a wife. >> that was nbc's ann thompson reporting. the life of jesus is often a matter of controversy. this is the not the first time put out that he was married. most recently "davinci code" depicted jesus married to mary magdalene and attracted criticism of the vatican. i feel like i just took you to church. >>> my interview with denzel washington about the passion to help at-risk kids that remind him of himself. >>> here's things we just thought you should know. illinois congressman jackson jr. has put the d.c. home on the market. the move raises more questions about the nine-term democrat's political future. in june, congressman jackson took a leave t

smith speak. again, there was no agreement in 2002, they can't produce one because there wasn't one, and if the third floor is so object nabl, then why in the dr requests do they say that a solution to the issue is to limit the project to three floors, they completely backtracked and didn't address that issue at all, and just in general, if this project at this size in this space is so acceptable and extraordinary to warrant the dr, nothing can be built in the city, there are 20 foot wide lots throughout the city, this is not alamo square, this is a mixed architectural area. thank you. >> i'd like to add something, i know people are saying this is a mistake, this is how you develop project ins cities, look at am stam, paris, london, there are buildings about today versus about yesterday, you get a rhythm, you get a counter point and you get honesty and various scales and all that, to rebut a couple of comments, i feel like i'm at the rnc listening to paul in fiction, the square foot added to the previous project was like 100 square feet. i don't know where 1400 square feet comes from, we've added about, i don't know, 50% to that with more one

smith was flying and was almost 30 years old. >>> and it happened in the area of 53rd street and dr. martin luther king, jr. way late saturday night, no arrests have been made. >>> and turning now to election news, democrats are gathering for the national convention in charlotte north carolina this week. they are facing the biggest news for people who want president barack obama reelected, sandra? >> reporter: that's right, democrats are kicking off festivities with a labor day weekend celebration but tomorrow they will be getting down to party business. this stage is set and democrats are fathering up for their convention. it starts tuesday but the president spent the weekend previewing his message. >> on thursday night i will offer a better path forward a path that will grow this economy and strengthen the middle-class and the good news is, you get the choose the path we take. >> they met last week to officially nominate mitt romney as their candidate for president. >> mr. chairman and delegates, i accept your nomination for president of the united states. >> it raised the question of whether it was bette

dr requestor's property came out to the property line. >> yeah, it goes out beyond to roughly about where the fence is. >> never mind then. second question, i suggested to mr. smith that consideration be given to moving the door further toward ocean avenue, i don't know if that's feasible. >> it does have some implications, it messes up the functionality of the space and the layout we have, it's something we could look at but more importantly, where it's at right now, it's at its most level point and that was a big hurdle to go over with the mayor's office on disability, so they encouraged us to put it right nr the middle where it was most level. >> and two things, one, i think if -- we can require the street trees, right? >> i need you to speak into the microphone. >> sorry, the street trees as i understand they're proposing are across the street, not in front of -- >> that's what i believe i heard during the public testimony. >> well, howard would know for sure. >> i thought they were in front of the restaurant. >> i thought they were in front. >> i already signed a contract with friends of the urban forest, they're going be on the property side but we'd like t

dr. squires, we'll start with you. >> all right, well, senator nelson, thank you very much for the opportunity to appear here today. my name is steve squires and my title is golden smithof the nasa authorization act of 2010 was the development of two crucial and highly capable elements of a deep space exploration system. nasa's development of both s.l.a. and owe ryon is underway, crucial milestones, successful test firings, cryogenic upper stage and the delivery of the command module to kennedy space center. what will the vehicles be used for? president obama has called for sending humans to an asteroid by 2025, to mars orbit and to the surface of mars subsequently. they're grand goals and broadly consistent with the goals that were consistent in the 2010 authorization act. i see two possible areas of concern. one is that a pay as you go approach can result in slow progress if funding levels are not adequate. there has been no human rated launch system in nasa's history that has had a flight rate as low as one that is projected. with such a low flight rate, it could be challenging to keep teams sharp and mission ready and to maintain program momentum. another is that
