brief comments on the centers of excellence -- the center of excellence in committed to help, rather than serving the entire southeastern portion of the city, and hosting far-reaching programs that promote equity and expand access to primary care, behavioral health, prevention, has been reduced to following up 800 patients with the community and team approach. it seems to me that the proposed centers of excellence are read branting services that already exist at st. luke's. -- rebranding services that already exist at st. luke's. it should be supported by an expanded in patient units devoted to these issues. there is also no mention whatsoever of the blue-ribbon panel's recommendation for establishment of centers of excellence and gynecology and low intervention obstetrics. the current centers as proposed have no dedicated budgets, no named directors, and no staff. there is no known plan to replace the skilled nursing facility as well as the st. luke's subacute. supervisor mar: please try to wrap up right away. >> we just have concluding remarks. >> in conclusion -- i will do the con

they shall house two centers of excellence. it will serve approximately 800 patients each year focusing on preventing of outpatient care to a properly managed, diseases, such as diabetes, prevent unnecessary hospitalization. the senior of -- to increase or maintain their function, and maximize the independence at discharge, assist the transition from hospital to home, and reduce unnecessary readmission. you can see on this slide that liquidated damages are noted for each of the centers of excellence. it represents the agreed upon compensation to the city in the event of a breach of this contract. i will note the liquidated damages for each of the provisions. at the end, i will summarize each of the liquidated damages in one slide. in the event of a breach, cpmc will pay $2 million for any year that it does not operate a center of excellence and $750,000 in any year that it does not operate a center of excellence in senior help. i will turn the presentation over to our chief financial officer to talk about the additional provisi

the us find itself in a leading position among other wealthy nations there are a few areas where we excel we have some of the best colleges in the world so that tertiary education our graduate schools are outstanding some of the strongest in the world our hospitals our technology overall is world class and overall those types of advantages are with draws the best talent in the world here students come here in order to learn and hopefully we can keep the opportunities for them not only to arrive here but for them to stay our technology that allows us to innovate and create some great companies that still exist and are entrepreneurship the government rules that allow us to create new companies and to patent things really is outstanding us universities and hospitals may be excellent but if the student debt bubble is above one trillion dollars and roughly fifty million citizens are living without health care how are americans benefiting from their nation's excellence they're all emblematic of one of the things that's true about the united states which is we have the extremes of excellence and

universities and hospitals may be excellent but if the student debt bubble is above one trillion dollars and roughly fifty million citizens are living without health care how are americans benefiting from their nation's excellence they're all emblematic of one of the things that's true about the united states which is we have the extremes of excellence and a public system that seems to drift behind if you take education our undergraduate school or some of the best in the world and they're extremely expensive that's a challenge so it's only accessible to a certain percentage of the population but for those who can access it they're excellent our graduate schools same thing our medical system for those who can afford it we really do have a great health system our public health system is way behind that's all the time we have dr friedman thank you very much for sitting down to speak with our team my pleasure thank you very much. mission to teach me. only. here. for going global and. please. make your statement. spread the word. truth. warning the. president. being increasingly drawn into th

mcdonnell: excellent, thank you. mr. pilpel: we did not address this earlier, and i'm not sure it bears much discussion, acceleration and deferral. i would note for record outhat anyone in an even number number district will have the effect of accelerating, so they will have voted in 2010 and again in 2012, where is anybody in an odd number district and now at an even number district will not be deferred. although a day of vote. last in 2008 and would have voted in 2012, will not vote again for supervisor until 2014. i'm not sure it needs anything other than that, but i thought it was worth noting. thanks. mr. mcdonnell: thank you. any other questions? ok, i entertain a motion to approve ithis final draft of the met. >> so moved. mr. mcdonnell: is there a second? >> sure, i'll second. mr. mcdonnell: thank you. ok, just before requesting vote, i would invite as you vote if there is a statement, a brief statement, the top order of word being brief, as you vote. you are not required to, but you are welcome to do so. ms. tid

>> excellent question from a former student. obviously learned a lot. so, i think on the mubarak issue, which i think what you're talking about, i think those americans who feel that united states can somehow impose its will and get the desired effect it wants on every international issue might find that argument to be, to resonate. those folks are probably voting for romney already. if we're talking about swing voters, i think there's a recognition, what really were we possibly supposed to do? were we going to support egyptian tanks rolling in to cairo to suppress popular unarmed protesters? i think that really is preposterous. so if somebody's going to try to start making that argument that we somehow abandoned mubarak, and then at the same time making an argument that somehow we should be more active to get rid of assad in syria, of course, assad is not an ally and mubarak was. but nonetheless, it doesn't all hold together. that said, i think the question of islamism and what direction the arab world is going to take and fear in some regard that, you

i will weep because excellence means so much to me. tavis: how did that drive, that wanting to be because he could not be, how did that impact your relationship with your parents? >> boy, i had not really thought about it. i think more with my dad. he was the boy, i was the girl, and so with the boy unable to achieve the things that most dads want their sons to achieve, i took it upon myself to achieve the things that sons achieve. again, not in a pressured way, but in the way that, like, being a girl or a woman later did not stop me from trying if there were things that i wanted to do and no woman had gone there before. it did not occur to me not to go there, but i wanted to learn things. like i have an interest in baseball, which i shared with my dad. making things, tools, i am handy with tools if i want to be. so like that. tavis: how has your creative process, your songwriting process, most flourished? i ask that because every artist you talk to has certain conditions under which their best stuff comes out. for some it is pressure,

so with their excellence, we were able to attract resources to the research. that research, in order to attract the talt talent, the nobel laureates and those who would be, need labs, knees the infrastructure. it is all a circle. infrastructure attracted talent. talent, additional infrastructure attracts capital and what some of the byproducts -- in the private sector, some great companies serving meeting the aspirations of people in terms of drug development. you just need to look at buyers. buyers -- i don't know what it was. hall? the names indicate so much of the success of the area. we also have to prove, as the mayor said, when there is a public investment, that there will be private investment and non-profit vement that will follow. so -- investment that will follow. we see this philanthropy. the market opportunities that spring for us. perfect. tiger. perfect tiger grant. so i thank you for what you do to make this possible. i want to also acknowledge president obama and the recoveryability from which much of this has sprung. the tiger grants first app

what -- we think overall, it will be an excellent transition. we do hope as we go forward dobie's some cost savings as we look at consolidating other human-rights activities into one agency or to cohabitate and share at city administrative services. there are other agencies that provide human rights types of programs. we have been in discussion with some of them thus far. we think over the next two years can provide a cost savings to the city which would more than overshadow the cost increase of this transfer. the cost increase will come from a transition of people, transitional facilities, and coordinating that activity between the two. in addition, i think the city administrator has plans on filling all the on filled requisitions -- unfilled requisitions. it is an excellent strategic move for the city and ultimately a cost savings. >> thank you for your presentation. supervisor kim: i want to note that supervisor campos did call for a hearing on the transition. we will have a lot more time to discuss that the rules committee hopefully next mon

less than a third is good to excellent. while the western corn belt had been holding on the area seeing significant decline. iowa and minnesota are both down in points. >>> the condition of the soybean crop is similar to corn. a third is good to excellent with the six point drop from last week. 16% is shedding pods. there is better news for the cotton crop. almost half is rated good to excellent. almost holding steady with last week. >>> now gets get a closer look at crop with john. >> gr . >> we start crop watch in the greater illinois area and my own farm. our corn has endured surprisingly well with less than three inches since may first. the crop is length a month ahead of schedule. we have a photograph from one of our biggest fans, john morgan of course, he -- he said the soybeans look good but looks dereceiving because there are no pods or flowering. in idaho 84% of the winter wheat is good to excellent. harvest hasn't started yet. most of the state has good top soil moisture. when united states farm report takes over

we're alalso fortunate because we had excellent leaders. compassionate leaders, leaders who cared for the welfare of their people. they gave education the highest priority to this day. >> they say that it is a multi- party constitutional democracy. what does that mean in my language? >> that in your language means that if you are in botswana, and you want to form your own party, you are allowed. the law and the constitution allows you. as we speak now, we have about seven parties, two have been dominant. the ruling party has been dominant. the opposition, it gets fragmented, they regroup. they allow us to participate freely in the elections. >> one of the things that interests me in my reading is that the president is indirectly elected. explain that. it is kind of interesting if we use that as our standard here. >> that is correct. systema's parliamentary is modeled on the british system. we have what is called constituencies. constituencies are represented by members of parliament. this is by city council or the municipalities. what happe

he is able to express that well which is excellent. we have disagreed at times mike always disagree with someone as the gentleman he is and that does not happen with everyone and there have been what i was on the other side of the podium planning commissioners who i don't know who the -- how they did not get into fistfights and linda has seen this over the years. rodney is not here. i have only known him a short time. rodney has shown a concerned and practical leadership. he has this obvious love of san francisco, multigenerational family deeply involved in the city. he brings to the commission something that i was the only one who had been involved in the retail field with his business experience. sort of retail, a sort of entertainment, very neighborhood and that has been an excellent view point. sydney, it has been a pleasure working with you the short time that we have. you have any experience in the minority communities i certainly have not in a lot of tenants' rights issues and you bring a much younger dew point -- view point. th

they have done an excellent job in sandbagging the name tea party. what you will find and i'm sure those who like me and of the same hue as i am, will attest to is that black folks to their core are very socially conservative v always been. i often noticed that in churches where i preach across the country now, i can be talking to a predominantly black congregation and i'll talk about the evils of abortion and everybody amen, reverend. i'll talk about the evils of programs even same-sex marriage and amen, reverend. but they will leave that church on that sunday or sunday night and if election day is tuesday they will still go and vote for the liberal agenda. when you have 95%, 96 actually, percent, of people voting for one party over a 50-year period, we deal with this in the movie in a very enlightening way, then herman was right. there has been a very thorough and total brain washing. it's not that they don't want to be associated with you. it's just that they have been led to believe by abc, nbc, and cbs, that you are the enemy. and the strangest

i think he would make an excellent commissioner. i think he has done great work of four with the other commissions, and i hope he will seek to appoint him. i think it would be the interest of our communities to have him appointed curator of >> thank you, mr. lewis -- i think it would be in the interest of our communities to have him appointed. >> thank you, mr. lewis. >> i have had a substantial amount of interaction with his capacity in the office of land use and economic development, and i can tell you he is extremely knowledgeable regarding land use matters. he is also extremely knowledgeable regarding economic matters common two primary concerns of of planning commissioner. when i was talking to folks in the apartment, i was represented a client who had an interest. he has to deal with the views of folks who represented different interests. i always found it exceptional getting him to ask questions and listen, and i always appreciate some heavier -- somebody who ask questions and listens, and it gets everybody in the room talkin

excellent. ok. >> i have pictures of you. at our last one. president newlin: i think that should have been under item nine. >> i have a question. regarding the presentation, where do we go from there? president newlin: edification. correct me if i am wrong, it is good for us to know, but it is under the authority of the department of public health. >> commissioner hyde had seen a similar presentation and have facilitated that presentation here mostly as point of information. clarity on this topic is useful, as it does get mixed up and people do have questions for the commission sometimes. relativity getting into certain businesses or facilitating meetings with businesses in that industry, if the commission wants to direct staff to assist him in that regard or not, that is up to you. president newlin: any public comment? the final item, new business request for future agenda items. is there any public comment o b? that will terminate and finalize the tuesday, july 10, a meeting of the san francisco city and county of san francisco entertainmen

in a way, we helped to have the employees pursue excellence and ford is the only company who never took government bailout nor filed bankruptcy and made a billion dollars in profits that year. and willie says that america's best years are still ahead. >> america needs an attitude shift and if we can get an attitude shift, we can come back to be the country that the world is looking at. and as i travel the world. people are saying, we're looking at you. and what is america going to do, as america goes, so goes the world. >> and i have to concur with that. and he talks about a setback or just a set up for a comeback. >> jamie: if you're overweight or obese, you may have heart problems and suggest the extra pounds may actually do you some good. dr. somati from the a-team is in to clear it up. . >> creating a really safety risk in many parts of the country. and we'll show you how folks are trying to handle the heat live from our nation's capital. . >> another girl's shot melted on the stage and we had to put it on the stage and we were dying and it was reflecting up. ing right, whole grain,

it is going to be a tavern and a food operation, and the food will be excellent. mr.cdonald also owns, at the corner of sixth and market, another sketchy neighborhood, but he built show dogs down there, and it is doing very well, a beautiful place. he was there before the crowd. i think i will go and do some real estate purchases in the neighborhood. because i tell you, he seems to be about three, four, five years ahead of everybody else. he is available for comment. we're fine with the police recommendation. we ask that you pass this along to the full board for a vote. thank you. >> we did read through the report. anything you would like to add? ok, thank you. any other public comment? great, we will close public comment. supervisor chu: motion to accept the item with the conditions in the record. supervisor elsbernd: can we take that without objection? that will be the order. good luck. any other items before the committee? >> there are no more items. supervisor elsbernd: we are adjourned.

excellent way to timize your visit with us. made every day. >> what is it that reminds you of your childhood? >> i'm going to say the key lime pie more than everything. you guys are using maryland dishes as well. >> yeah, we are intrusting maryland flair to the restaurants. feel free to try the key lime pie, if you like. >> i grew up in key west. so the key lime pie, tell us more about it. >> well, it is traditional. we use a graham cracker crust. we make it fresh every day. i told you it's good. by the way, we have an excellent happy hour. monday through friday 4:00 to 6:00. great time to come in and try a painkiller. >> that is fresh ground nutmeg on top. >> we're going to have more when we come back. they're going to stick around. when we come back we'll have the eyewitness news first warning ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, >>> what we experienced yesterday, a little bit of sunshine breaking through. we're back in the 90s tomorrow and tuesday. a chance of showers and thunderstorms with a cold front. it's more like the caribbean days. we'll g

i put in place a merit scholarship for all those students who excelled.ents in each high school in massachusetts were awarded a john and abigail adams scholarship. four years tuition free at any massachusetts public institution of higher learning. and when i was governor not only did our test scores improve, we also narrowed the achievement gap. the teachers unions weren't happy with the reforms. they did not like our emphasis on choice through charter schools which is a great benefit to inner city kids trapped in underperforming schools. accordingly the legislature passed a moratorium or any new charter schools. in boston, harlem and los angeles across the country charter schools are giving children a chance. children that otherwise could be locked in failing schools. i was inspired a few weeks ago by the students in one of kenny gamble's charter schools in philadelphia. right here in houston is another remarkable success story the knowledge is power program, which has set the standard thanks to the ground breaking work of the the late harriet ball. thes

>> i majored in journalism. >> excellent. >> what was i thinking? >> excellent.llent major. >> coming up, admiral mccraven makes news when he tells mell u.s. troops might not be out of afghanistan by the end of 2014. >> i'm not sure all u.s. troops will be out by 2014.

i'm pleased the way everything is going and i think laura duffy and her team are really doing an excellent job. and i think something good is going to come out of this. >> robert, has anyone from the department of justice given you an indication as to why the indictment is just now being unsealed? >> well, if you mean the department of justice, we talked with laura duffy and her team of prosecutors. we don't talk much with the department of justice in washington. and we have been consulted by u.s. attorney laura duffy and her team of prosecutors over the past year. they even flew to detroit to

>> senator, surely, it will be a job creator and let me add one other anecdote and the keystone excel pipeline. a lot of people don't realize that the keystone excel pipeline has 2400 companies from 49 different states. we've only not found someone in the state of hawaii that's involved in the keystone excel pipeline development. so when you look at energy infrastructure and energy investments they're huge job creators and they occur in places that you least expect. the multiplier effects particularly in oil and natural gas are very significant and so we see nothing, but upside through ratification and the extension process to secure those rights hopefully so we can secure the options to develop that resource and it will flow clear across this country in a variety of different ways. >> thank you. >> mr. chairman, i would point out in our industry, the telecommunications, the buzz word, the number one word is reliability and we invest as a company, 16 to $17 billion a year into our networks and we in the undersea cable area in particular invest in mesh networks so that we can avoid iss

excellent buy in, i would say, across the nation. i know in my district, the ranking member and i were just talking about in his district, our local sheriffs are very enthusiastic about this program. it allows for them to utilize technology in sharing of the frinl fingerprints and database, knowing if they pulled someone over for a routine traffic stop and they're in the database as either an overstay or illegal in the country, they're able to contact your agents and look for deportation. however, we have this situation in alabama, which sounds like it's going to resolve itself hopefully in the fall. i guess sort of the big hold out we see, although there are some municipalitie municipalities, small ones in california, the big hold out is probably one of the largest counties in the nation, cook county, illinois, which has essentially become a sanctuary city. yet, they are still -- the community is still looking for federal dollars in grants or what have you to pay for detainees they have in their jails. but they don't want to partici

>> that's an excellent question. so to set the record straight, it was the united states that declared war on great britain. they only declared war on us after we declared war on them first. now, you can say we were bullied into it because they were stealing american sailors and ships on the frontier, like you guys up there in michigan, the accusation was made that they were giving guns and ammunition to the indians and urging them to shoot white settlers, and they have found, you know, at the time, they have found food and weapons amongst the native american nations up there. 1812 was a real critical year. great britain was in a bigger war with france, and a lot of people said, you know, we have to be decisive. it was an election year so actually we declared only a few months before the presidential election, so some of them say that had to do with it, and it was just a breaking point and there were just enough american senators and representatives to tip the balance. even to this day, the war of 1812 was the most n

the order establishes principles of excellence for educational institutions. these principles provide added enforcement, oversight, and most importantly transparency for prospective students seeking to use their post-9/11 gi bill. the principles would require that educational institutions collect and provide information to help prospective students make an informed decision when deciding on an educational program. participating institutions will provide detailed information such as a "know before you owe" form, which discloses information about tuition and fees, financial aid, estimated student loan debt upon graduation, and graduation rates. these principles will aid in making informed educational decisions. by providing needed information in an easily-accessible form, executive order 13607 will help curb fly-by-night recruiting techniques, and provide protections to service members whose deployment may require short absences. this has been a passion of mine since i came to process which i am proud the communications act requiring member of federal agency to

i thought that was an excellent instrument that a teacher could use at that level to get children to appreciate and like history. i just wanted to share that with you. when i substituted i don't recall as i walked -- i had -- i subbed at different classes i don't think i saw a lot of that. but i thought that was an excellent way to get them into history and appreciate it more and they could -- teachers could be allowed to do that. >> thank you. any comments? i have two quick questions and then we're going to wrap it up. quick questions and quick answers. first, any quick comments about how did america think about, perceive, react to the story of robert smalls when the news came out? generally slaves were considered beasts of burden without capacity of big thinking, strategic thinking and the like. and how did that -- the reaction differ in the south versus in the north. quick question. >> well, quick answer, the south probably kept their mouth shut because they didn't want robert smalls' example influencing the other slaves. when the slaves escape there is a quick flurry in the newsp

in montana, more than half the winter we crop is good to excellent and 15% are in good to excellent shape. we will be back in just two minutes. >> just at the roundtable today, we have jim bauer from power training, and it took dillinger. i would like you to give us a summary of how the market close on friday. >> i thought the market reacted reasonably well. beans were up about $0.23, or didn't fare quite as well come up about a nickel. we've got about nine, and certainly both the corn and soybean markets have been quite dynamic this week. and i will tell you that all these years that i have been trading and in this business, this has been a very active week. and we have a night session now and there's a lot of activity and pay attention. but the industry has moved toward that. >> is mostly the weather looks or was it the report doesn't this market going skyhigh? >> that huge drop from the usda on corn acreage, it's unquestionable that you have to cut it but, but i think this month, it's where do they go by the january report. but it can also be the upper 120's before is said and done. >>
