first and foremost, we need to pay attention to some empirical data. any way you look at it, no data regarding [unintelligible] the ongoing contamination sites [unintelligible] san francisco county transportation authority knows that we are across the street. there is a pathway. supervisors, you need to ask the right questions. there are other people involved in this project. how many millions of people travel on that for a fair? from the various industries and types of operations? you can say whatever you want to say. it was next to the old power plant for 60 years. over 120 tons of pollution was dumped on the side. there may need to be report of how clean that contaminated area it is. we need bicycling and restoration facilities in areas where there is proof that the air is clean. proof that the soil is clean. that type of empirical data that you have allows the public to go sailing in the area, building houses on a superfund site, so on and so forth. you take the money and you go with of the flow, that is on view. -- on you. those that live in the ar

as the director of environmental justice advocacy, i want to see empirical data on pollution, cumulative pollution. a lot of the traffic will go on franklin and a lot of people are living indoors as residents, renters and they would be adversely impacted. i would like to see some impact on that. supervisors, none of you asked the question about this huge project. how's this going to impact this? this is an important project. you should have done this when things were rosy. we should have done this five years ago but we spent a lot of time on the eir. we should do this project. this is an important project. just looking at it, at this presentation, now we just talked about like -- bike lanes, then we don't. we talked about being interested in our carbon footprint, then we don't. i would like to hearing -- have a hearing on this if possible. thank you very much. >> thank you, next speaker. >> i just want to come and encourage you and the board of supervisors to have dedicated lines so we don't have cars moving in. we should have level boarding so that people can get on quickly. then the tr

that is empirical data. i would like to see the mickey mousing about the carbon footprint, and that is in san francisco. having said that, we need to make a decision whether in the future we are going to be for affordable housing or market rate housing. just like when we had proposition f, of which i am a proponent, and then we got out of proposition f. at that time, we said we want 50% affordable housing. and if we had all our plans ready, we could have participated with the stimulus that and plan. but we had some supervisor's here who brought in -- [bell rings] brought other type of crap into this situation which was uncalled for. but today we see our nation has been destroyed by goldman sacks, jpmorgan, chase, bernie madoff, and other stocks type of people who have destroyed our economy. let us be realistic -- [bell rings] supervisor avalos: is there any the other member of the public would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed two colleagues, can we approve the recommendation and the princ

in fact, fareed, this is what -- from the laboratory of democracy, here's the empirical data from michiganars 99 times. big tax cuts, small, targeted, you name it. by the time i left office, michigan was 48th in the country in terms of of the size of government relative to population. we had cut more employees than any state in the country. his cut more out of government as a percentage than any state in the country. our corporate tax burden dropped, the largest amount of any state in the country. and still we had the highest unemployment rate. why? because the structure of our economy had changed. and the playing field had enlarged, and no longer was i just competing against other states. but obviously i was competing against the globe, and therein lies the difference. what happened in michigan is going to happen to the united states or is happening right now. >> so what had happened to michigan? explain, you know, why it had become uncompetitive. >> well, i mean, i would just say this -- can i tell you a quick story. at the end of my first year in office, i got a call from our michigan e

as the number of blacks in frying pan park swells, it adds the empirical data that attempts to argue racism no longer exists even though you know it does. the cognitive dissonance can make you feel crazy. ing is the security guard following you? you're not sure. you think he is, but you can't be certain. maybe he is, maybe he's not. maybe he's actually following another black person you can't see. [laughter] but he's probably following you. or is he? they were following you in the last store, and you couldn't see it, but you could feel it. maybe the guard is black, so if you tried to explain it to a white friend, they might not understand it as racist, but the guard's boss isn't black. or maybe he is. maybe they're watching all the blacks in the store more closely. maybe the guard himself feels badly about that directive, but has to follow it because they're watching him too. maybe what you're feeling are his ashamed vibes as if he's sending you a silent signal of apology for following you, or maybe -- and now you're just looking for tylenol for migraines when all you needed was toot

but, you know, as someone who goes through life really focusing on empirical data -- >> right. >> youhat more through writing this book. >> fascinating. >> good. >> the book is "war of the world views". thank you so much. >> peace breaks out. >> always nice. >> thank you, mike. >>> up next, we're going to take a look at the new monthly unemployment report. business before the bell is next. ♪ when times go bad you can't get enough ♪ ♪ you can spot an amateur from a mile away... while going shoeless and metal-free in seconds. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle...and go. you can even take a full-size or above, and still pay the mid-size price. now this...will work.

although i don't think that's necessarily -- all the empirical political scientists, quantitative data, shows the level of an mouse towards racial minorities and immigrants is higher amongst tea party people than amongst the general population, but that's not the critical part of my argument. the data does show that. but still, definitely fearing that this -- i'm reading this book about a scientist at harvard and the tea party, and it's very clear, she did this work with a graduate student in three parts of the country. but the sense office -- sense of loss to a set of people who are not entitled to govern, is critical. and very important, and i don't think there's -- i don't say that in a kind of negative way. i think you miss the volatile movement if you don't see that. >> you argue that far from simply wanting to conserve or preserve tradition or resist change or maintain the status quo, that the conservatives are quite interested in advocating those cyclical social -- investing in counterrevolution, war, dynamism, self-transformation. you argue that conservativism depends on the ra

data points, not bad when it comes to the u.s. economy. retail sales were strong, cars, building materials leading. empireuring was one of the regional manufacturing surveys, positive for the first time in months so that's a good thing. and producer prices were down for the first time since last june down .3%. so inflation fears easing but not enough to turn the market into positive territory though we do have 4-plus hours left of trade. have a good day. >> we hope those hours bring good news. thanks, brian. >> skin changes are among the most visible signs of aging. evidence of increasing age including wrinkles and sagging skin. but it also causes changes to your hair and nails. how to slow those changes down. and what to do once they have come. good morning. >> good morning. >> this sounds like something we all need to hear. let's talk about some of the ways you can avoid the signs of aging. >> well, the first thing is anti-oxidants and sun screen. we need to start using those types of products and taking those types of supplements early on. it's never too early. teenage years, 20s, what have you. becaus

looking into this empirical question of whether or not the 2010 election, the republicans were elected in the 2010 election, have changed the republican party at all, there's two bits of datahere recently. politico looked at their votes on substantive issues in the house and found that republicans in general were willing to dissent from the party line. dissent from the party leadership 12.34% of the time. house freshmen, the class of 2010, was willing to dissent from the party leadership 12.5% of the time. no difference whatsoever. john's newspaper, though, "roll call," today, did find there was one really big difference about the 2010 class. in congress. between the 2008 congress and the 2010 congress, the net worth of congress increased by nearly 25%. so the one thing that i can empirically tell you is that electing lots and lots of tea party republicans in this last election meant that congress got a hell of a lot richer. oh, we call it the bundler. let's say you need home and auto insurance. you give us your information once, online...
