the attention of the sfpuc, that all over the city, for example, we have your department of external affairs, that supposedly deals with outreach and has to project and put a nice face to our city, a lot of work has to be done when it comes to the tearing up of our streets, linked with clean water pipes and the sewer pipes. i will give you an example: it's been two months now that the streets of san bruno avenue have been torn up, and people on both sides cannot use the space for parking. san bruno avenue has contributed millions of dollars to the city and while the merchants are quiet, unlike say, geary or the potrero drive area, the city is taking advantage of it in many ways. our streets are not cleaned, potholes, millions of dollars are taken from our merchants and yet, how does >> we were wondering with that might be calendared also? i have two more questions and maybe you are aware of this, but the $2 million rec and park department and puc boathouse partnership at lake merced is behind schedule and it's $400,000 overbudget now. area and we're just wondering who is going to be paying f

juliette for external affairs. the purpose of this presentation is to give all a brief update for the workforce initiative over the summer to be a good neighbor as well as deal with the issues of the agencies. and so today i'll give you both - a quick update of the add back to the san francisco utilities. talk to you how we're to maximize the youth issues over the summer by leveraging the programs that the puc is having. and developing core elements across the internship programs and i'll close with the next steps that closing includes an item you'll be looking at in our business section. so for the current budget cycle the board of supervisors added back one-hundred $4 million to be used in the youth programs. this is consistent with the mayor's effort to really lift up and maximize opportunities over the summer. to his goal is to make sure that 6 thousand people are to be employed. and the summer we have about seven hundred and 20 told us every year. and for this upcoming summer we're implementing budget deadline

especially your assistant general for external affairs? thank you very much. >> commissioner courtney. >> thank you, president. >> francisco, could you come up again? i want to hear again, because no. 1 i know you were trying to get an exhaustive list in there during the allotted time. can you restate no. 1 for me again? >> no. 1 is as part of the mitigation, we built the 1800 oakdale facility. and at that time, when we built it, we had certified courses. you could be a registered nurse. you could be a master chef. you could be a master tailor and so on an so forth. that is part of the history that your staff should give to you. right now, we have very little of that, because everything is mickey mouse. very few of the courses that you take there can give you a career. so that is no. 1. and included in that, a lot of the people that went to those courses joined the unions and a lot of our strong union membership came because of the 1800 oakdale facility, something that is lost, because history has not been very kind to those years. but we

yes i disagree with the way saudi arabia manages its internal affairs and with some of its external policies but there's no doubt and stepping aside here from my own views and looking at it from the point of view of western governments whether you're looking at the middle east peace process between the arab countries and israel particular palestine or whether you are looking at lebanon or syria or indeed the nuclear question iran tends to act contrary to western interests but that down on could i was your favorite comes from you where that comes from and you can say that it originates in the fault of the west but i'm not prepared to get into that discussion i'm just presenting to you the position of western governments in this whatever they're trying to do in those areas of dispute saudi arabia tends not to be anything like as unhelpful as iran does but mr dalton why would you punish any given country whether it is iran or not for its geopolitical stance on certain issues with something so basic as its right to pursue scientific exploration and i think you would agree with me that physics is

affairs of countries. its economic policies and did diplomacy passive. now, beijing wants good relations with the united states and a general climate of external stability. that's partly because it faces huge internal challenges. china's leaders want to embark on a serious program of reforms at hope and are searching for ways to generate greater legitimacy. experimenting with most a return to rhetoric and revival of nationalism. also beijing wants to rise without creating a powerful anti-chinese backlash among other powers like japan and india. for its part the united states is right to seek good and deep relations with china. they would mean a more stable prosperous and peaceful work. further integrating china into an open global system would help maintain that system and the open world economy that rests on it. but this can only happen if china recognizes and respects that system. and operates from the perspective of a global power, not a narrow minded state seeking only to maximize its interests. in other words, when china starts acting like a super power, we should treat it like one. for more on this, go to cnn.com/ cnn.com/fareed. there is a link to
