the reforestation and all of identifying sites with the gardners, local partners, preparing and clearing the sites, planting, and going back and doing remedial work. this is a monterey pine that was planted in the 1980's on the west end of golden gate park, about 28 inches in diameter, about 60 feet tall. since that time, it has become a mature tree. you walk among those trees, you would never know this was a reforestation plot. but you would think you are in the old golden gate park monterey pines, and it is an astonishing experience to have this nurturing over the last 30 years that resulted in these big trees. that is the golden gate park for station plan, prepared in 1980. despite the department's up and downs in terms of the rotation and the number of trees planted every year, it is still ongoing program and a very successful one. the situation is not as successful in the parse and square. the department actually removes more trees than it plants each year in the parks and squares. at least urban forestry operation does. these numbers don't include what i would describe as capital p

"viewed superficially we could celebrate the time as a halcyon era, the internet a revolutionary tool, however it works not only for but also and less obviously against the ideal of an informed and intellectually curious public. it does enable the passive and powerless to become actors and interactors in politics but even as it empowers and informs a vast number of citizens, it also is a tool for misinformation and false attacks polluting the dialogue with an apparent knowledge base, undisciplined by traditional standards of accuracy in public communication. bloggers are their own editors and may make little effort to verify while they post." >> so look, i -- there is a guest book outside they ask us to sign and i wrote in it, "to charlie, who brings thought to television. thank you for what you do." you're a brand. and people understand that when a conversation occurs and you are in it it's going to be a nuanced and a conveatio that's not afraid of getting into compl
