., etc., but he won't put any money into media. i think that's resulted in an uneven playing field. and if you read the book, it talks about how much investment the conservative movement has put into what i call alternative information infrastructure like the media. >> thank you. that was a wonderful talk. what about the right-wing chicken little narrative involving who owns our t-bills? and china, of course, being a big investor in this kind of abstraction called treasury bills and this nervousness that has been enunciated that if we do something that upsets this country or that country, we will completely go to hell in a hand basket? because suddenly the debts will be called in. how does that work in to this progressive response you have to the right-wing chicken little narrative? >> it's like the audience was planted with people who like, ask me questions about things i like to talk about. [laughter] i don't know why it is that this, that this idea that china own so much of our debt has be

his main interests was economic questions, the tariff, banking issues, etc., etc. but at one point in if his legislative career he did take a stand about slavery which really set the stage for much of his later career. that was in 1837, the year in the which elijah lovejoy, the abolitionist editor, was killed by a mob in the state of illinois defending his printing press against a mob that watched to destroy it. illinois at that time was largely settled from the south. chicago department even exist in -- didn't even exist in 1837 really. most of the early settlers, like lincoln, had been born in slave states like kentucky, tennessee, virginia. this was a free state. the northwest ordnance had barred slavery in illinois, but it harbored deep prejudices toward african-americans. and anyway, the legislature passed a resolution affirming their high -- well, said our deep regard and affection for southern slave openers and their constitutional right to keep their property in slaves. this passed the illinois legislature, it passed the senate man unanimously, and the hous

., etc., etc. c-span: final question. if after this book came out people began to refer to you as a colored person, how would you feel about it? >> guest: well, it would depend on what kind of smile was on their face. i mean, i identify myself as an african-american. i like that because i'm an africanist as well as an african-americanist. i go to africa two or three times a year, and you know, i write about africa. and it has a great deal of dignity, but i don't really care what people call us. c-span: henry louis gates author of "colored people: a memoir," thank you very much. >> guest: thank you, brian. >> hi mr. gingrich. can you tell us about your latest release and what your next writing project might be? >> while the latest thing we did was a photo book on ronald reagan called rendezvous destiny which started from our movie of that name and calista came up with the idea that we have to do a book in on her of his 100th birthday, and so we were really excited to bring it out. we read the reagan

., etc., and that is my comment. vice president marshall: any further public comment? we will try to schedule meetings at all of the district's we have -- districts we have. this just came up because of the rising homicide rate issue. we normally try to get to all of the districts. i note the meeting is publicized through the commission office and through the district. the district captain himself. all right, no further public comment on that item? commissioner kingsley: just throwing this out to the last speaker, sir? if you have any specific suggestions of what you think effective outreach is on the part of the commission to get the message out, we are open to any suggestions you have that are specific on that point. to the lieutenant would be terrific. thank you. vice president marshall: all right, a public comment on that is closed. item number six. secretary lt. falvey: did you want to item number four? a discussion review status of the commission's priority list and possible action to repriori tize itee -- item

etc., etc.. and they really do think that they can organize the society and organize all of the parts biological organism is done. what they've done is taken a map of the territory as the metaphor for the way the society works and the are trying to make it literally work that way. and the results of course are perfect. i can't think of anyplace in the world that looks as bad as that does. >> host: to contrast that to talk about sweden, which is and has been for generations held up as a positive model for socialism, but according to your analysis, if you take a swede and moved him from sweden where he is productive working low unemployment, but you move him from sweden to minnesota he will do just as well if not considerably better in minnesota. he will end up making more than the american media and national income. and in sweden, over time after almost more than 60 years of essentially the socialist system, sweden is starting to show signs of sclerosis and rot. can you talk about -- >> gue

etc. etc. and they really do think that they can organize society and integrate all of its parts together the way a biological organism is done. what they have done is mistaken a map for territory. there is a metaphor and they are trying to make it literally work that way. and, the result of course courses been just terrific. i can't think of anyplace in the world that looks as bad as that does. >> host: and then to contrast that you talk about sweden, which is and has been for generations held up as the positive model for socialism, but according to your analysis, if you take a swede and you move him from sweden where he is productive, working, low unemployment, but you move him from sweden to minnesota, he will do just as well and actually considerably better in minnesota and he will end up making more than the american media national income, and in sweden, over time, after almost -- more than 60 years of essentially a socialist system, sweden is starting to show signs of sclerosis and r

. -- etc., etc. and then there was the problem of the archives. the earliest new york archive was established by john pintard, a very well known, white elite man. but black new yorkers had to wait until the 1920s to arturo shone berg to -- schaumberg to establish the schaumberg center. and yet, basically, the archives were, ultimately, my only resource. it's the only place i had to go to since my family had given me so little and half of a story. so what i do in the book, and i do want to point this out, is the book unfolds on two level t. own within -- levels. on one level it's the story of my search, how i went through the archives looking for material, finding, not finding, how i put them together. and on the second level, of course, it is the story it. so i started out in the schaumberg, and i was really lucky, lucky to find very early on two scrapbook pages in an archival collection. and in them i found the obituary pasted on the scrapbook of my great grandfather and then my great, great grandfather. so this is the first scrapbook page. it is

., etc. when we first started the hearing, there's going to be a lot of things on the radar scope affecting the city. one of them, of course the major one is starting for many institutions, july 1, with presidency requirements pertaining to hours, cutback on hours, training and also the mandate to increase primary care. as many of us know in the city and it's been reviewed both in the health commission particularly with the committees, we have a co-hort of primary care physicians and we have a shortage in the committee. and the st. luke motto was started with the a.c.m. and became part of our family practice residency program and then it was disengaged. what i'm saying is given the fact that we have a multitude of challenges how we're going to provide professional services in the city, it may be an opportunity to revisit some models which at least work a number of years ago but could be modified now given the fact that our academic health science centers are facing a number of mandates where

there is a share that -- etc., etc. that share, which for them is a portion of their funding is almost my entire funding so when you say you're going to cut 13% off everybody equally. well, 13% for us is more than 13% of their entire budget than for the other agencies. now the problem is that's the ripple effect we just had here. now they still have their investigators because they have other agencies that provide the investigation. we don't. our investigators are the ones that have to be trimmed off because we can't pay for them. our attorneys, again, they are paid for by the county. we have to cut back our attorneys. meanwhile, the prosecution, yes, they may have to cut back the attorneys. there are a lot of attorneys still being funded by these grant positions. so we're up against a resource that doesn't go down in the same proportional rate as we do. we get contracted further than they are. that's the disparity now. they try find a way to make it cheaper. those ideas are always popping up. you see them all over the

stationed transfer unit, the serving of warrants, felony warrants, etc. it dollar for dollar, it is probably a little more savings on the efficiency of allowing another department to do some of the work that has some of the same credentials to do so. it what sort of assessment is there and perhaps dollars savings? >> i have not done any assessments. we can look at that income back. supervisor mirkarimi: with the controller like to opine on that? >> suba, supervisor mirkarimi, we didn't look at certain functions last year, with the sheriff's department and the police department. i can recall the results of that review at this moment, but i will be happy to pass them to the committee. inmate transfer, warrant serving, fingerprinting function, and a couple of others. so i would be happy to pull the analysis. supervisor mirkarimi: that would be helpful. i was looking at how that was summarized in your current budget, and it was not clear that those recommendations were implemented, so i am curious if that is in line for the upcoming budget consideration. >> w

that involves training, etc. as well as postdisaster earthquake design of buildings. two is to resign and update the d.b.i. emergency response plan to conform with all current city standards and ensure compatibility and integration with the city and county of san francisco all-hazard strategic plan. three is to sign and update positions and to clarify duties with the assessment team, verify recall costs, documents and reporting requirements are current. item four is going to be to attend regular emergency operation center meetings and workshops, participate in tabletop exercises and support the emergency resource planning work group which is participating and apply for available grant funding opportunities through the department of emergency management. last month, we on a monthly basis there's emergency resource planning work groups that are intradepartmental and those have been important for us communicating information and resources, sharing resources throughout departments. one aspect of that is we work with the city's response plan has emergency support functions

for example, the franchise agreements generally talk about running recycling benefits, etc., and how do we compare to that? >> from the study and what the consultants spoke about on monday at the hearing -- typically, cities get anywhere from 5% to 15%. that seems to be the range for franchise fee agreements in terms of benefits, services, and additional fees paid to a city or county. typically, franchise fee agreements often do include transportation and landfill cost. because we do not have one, that's why we have the facilitation agreement as well as the contract. in terms of the range, we were right in the middle of the range of what cities typically get from a franchise agreement, and possibly on the high end. supervisors chu: within the franchise agreement, the bawhats typically been in them? if you do not have the answer, that's ok. >> i do not have any more details on that decides what i have mentioned but i'd be happy to get more detail. supervisors chu: if you could provide that information with the benefits we receive, which you say it's in the middle to high range. with r

looking at the shower, etc., it looks to me that these are much older than that. i could be wrong. >> yeah. those were there but, remember, you can have showers in a commercial unit in the event that you're dealing with toxics. so the fact there is a shower in there to me doesn't dictate -- commissioner walker: i'm curious what you're renting this out for. >> it's commercial. multimedia arts. i have the lease. commissioner walker: so you've never been there inspecting your property? >> yes. you can't tell the people living there, depending on when you're there and what type of camouflage is being used. in is a 3,500 square foot large commercial space. commissioner walker: what were you renting at a rate of? i'm curious. >> $4,500 per month. commissioner walker: 3,500 square feet. president lee: commissioner mar. commissioner mar: i want to follow-up on commissioner murphy's questions. was it all seven of the tenants or was it just one person and everybody sublet from him which was mentioned in the report? >> the original lease in 2005 was with -- was with the one

they just simply failed in delivering services to the people etc..ey immediately raised the flag of oka secularism is the most important value we have etc.. that's fine, let's have a discussion about secularism but when he were failing to run a country and you were failing to respond to the demands of the people, when you keep plodding a military coup one after another in the name of again protecting secular democracy in turkey, then i think now it is happening over the last decade or so so people began to question the credentials of your claims about detecting secularism. in the case of turkey, from now on, how that will work out in turkish democracy. i think for turkey and turkish society is a process of maturity or maturing as a whole with the values of diversity and cosmopolitan islam. for examples in the things we consider to be taboo for many years and turkey, non-muslim minorities and women's rights and human rights etc., now we have a very free, vibrant, open debate about these issues. if you look at his who is really opposing these debates,

the crisis in bahrain etc etc not one word criticizing their oppression i mean remind me so much of the cold war when whenever any kind of leftwing pro-democracy movement challenging right when you take a shit was somehow this conspiracy that came from the survey union in cuba but you know this president can you remind us of those who make peaceful evolution impossible violent revolution inevitable and that by supporting the continued repression it very well could drive some elements of the opposition into more around tickle hands so far the move is very nationalistic not pro reigning at all but this could change if the pro-democracy struggle caesar ran as they are now why not the united states and the west matthew is it really just the case is they completely ok hussein and pensacola justin go ahead with this steven i completely agree with stephen look the only political association that's their member were not that they were fuck their leadership really set him on a stated yesterday that they cannot control the street and these you with them behave and who are seeing their parents the

nine years ago i was at rock bottom, homeless, jobless, etc. within those nine years they offered me a job landscaping. i now ha help of others, to be able to keep the island clean and green. thank you. >> good evening, board members and commissioners. my name is peter mccaffrey, the owner of wine valley catering and pavilion by the bay. i'd love to encourage you to support the e.i.r. and the whole agenda this evening. we supply real jobs to real people that live on the island, and in this economy, it is so needed. some positive news for so many individuals. i feel that this project is wonderful for the environment, it's wonderful for san francisco, and i just strongly encourage you guys to support it. thank you very much. >> good evening, commissioners. i am currently owning a business and a resident at treasure island. the address is 2 avenue of the palms. and i'm there on a daily basis. i see a fair amount of people, tourists and other people. most of the customers are tourists. they come to the store. and when they come, they ask me what's

etc so it's probably more a question of bioavailability in the environment and it just keeps cycling in cycling because that's our natural systems are built to do that and biological organise. it's think the c.z. of us potassium and that's pretty much part of every every year animal and plant is . essential mineral. there are varying estimates of the number of deaths as a consequence of charitable that go from fairly low numbers as high as a billion what what's going to be the case in japan and we know i mean even though the us presidents to say nobody died at three mile island we know that there were. actual measurable plume of downwind cancer cases and deaths from three mile island what can we expect from the what's happening in fukushima. well i'm sorry to say that at this point it's seems to me that the way the japanese government and the international atomic energy agency the international regulatory bodies to handle this kind of thing are handling krishna that it might mimic what we see units are noble as far as not getting the dose levels writes the measurements every year nuc

nine years ago i was at rock bottom, homeless, jobless, etc. within those nine years they offered me a job landscaping. i now ha help of

etc and this is the kind of thing you actually hear from people you know and i've actually even heard this from government officials who are s'pore supposed to be prosecuting these matters you know they'll actually say to me well you know it's good enough that we find them because that sends a message you know in this world you know the humiliation is really bad enough being outed as somebody who's committed a you know an offense is bad enough we don't say that about drug dealers or murderers you know we don't say oh the humiliation is bad enough we put them in jail and i think we have to get to a place where crime is crime and people who commit crimes go to jail whether they're rich or poor and we're just not at that place right now ok you mentioned propaganda clearly the propaganda is in force i mean the the big business owns the mainstream outlets and they put out this trash they convince people that it's their fault that they're getting raped a not blame the victim right but beyond that it seems like in the united states what used to be a mentality of free market capital. and comp
