because this is your city hall and our city hall, and the arab community is the dynamic community that has been here for generations and has contributed significantly to the vitality of this city. like michael said, giving the award to the arab film festival -- it is the premier arab film festival in the nation. for over 15 years, they have been portraying films that do not only represent our rich heritage but kind of dispel myths and stereotypes of the arab people, who they are, and giving these films an audience that would not usually see them. even though it is through the art and fun, it is a powerful and strong message, and i urge you all to support the arab film festival because they do so much work for our community, and we do not really realize that. we have a fun program for you guys tonight. first of all, like i said, asserting our narrative as arab- americans is very important. through our historic legacy, we have had poetry being a crucial and historic part of our culture. old tradition is a very important part of arab culture, so we will be starting with two pieces from two arab-american women that are

attractive to immigrants and we generally receive immigrants in a very in a very dynamic way and then very large numbers and that has shaped almost everything else about our society ok well savingly demographically we're very different than europe we have a growing population part of that is because of immigration but a part of it's also because americans tend to be much more optimistic than europeans are and believe in the future in ways that europeans don't thirdly there's a very strong as a religious a carrot of carrot and says we just kind of exaggerate it to true is about me that how do you know how optimistic europeans it's ridiculous they say. well we have servant we have survey evidence we have survey evidence that suggests that people's attitudes toward the future towards their ability to control their destinies are very different in europe and the united states and the institutions tend to reflect that now again these are matters of degree i'm not suggesting that everybody says. characteristic that the society in general tends to be much more future oriented and what's more

generations. i think that's the basic dynamic that characterizes much of the developing world. we have rags to riches stories here. if you ask a poor person in arkansas why their republican or like bill gates and their answer is that they think that their son could be bill clinton or bill gates. and that's just not the case in countries where the rich people , where all the wealthy people belong to a different ethnic group, a small ethnic minority. >> you tell your own story. when your parents came here, they had no money. >> that's right. >> so you give the background of your own sisters and all, and could you do what you've done as a family in any other country? >> well, in southeast asia, that's exactly what the chinese have done. so there, yes. the chinese were immigrants there, and pretty much became very dominant. >> could you do it in lepaz, bolivia? >> well, interestingly, there are -- the asian communities are fascinating. there's, for example, a very small but very successful japanese minority in peru. they're not market-dominant because i use a very strong definition

. >> can you talk further on the different dynamics let's say in my generation, your generation where it didn't make any difference whether you read to harvard or slippery rock state or whether you live on the hill or self boston, your draft wanted you or if you had a low number, you were in the. a great job. like $73 a month for anyone unless of course you had a more important things to do. and at that time there was this give peace a chance because it was across the population of the socio-economic -- >> for the last 30 years, we have had a professional army, not a bad job, and what their job is to kill, that's their job and that's what they get paid for. when i was in, we were itching for a fight, and we would treen for fight, okay? but now we were civilian soldiers, so to speak, no longer civilian soldiers, the our professional soldiers and that is what they get paid to do is to kill. so could to comment further on the dynamic here? >> i'm not sure that comment is called for. that's a pretty interesting statement, and i suppose one thing -- >> let me use that to make this point. c

generation is not one we can afford to pay. let's make today a day we squeeze the value from walking. when we leave today, we must walk the talk. our dynamic panel that will get engaged on this topic for today's topic. guns and violence, what's working, what's not. first we have mrs. smith. she's's senior advisor to mayor gavin newsom. david onick. malik senfero. director of bay view safe haven. children youth and families. cheryl davis. momagic. last but not least, we have jenay. >> we have tyre and then we have cheryl. john. i have a question for you. i hear there's a summer school safety plan that started in may 2007. >> they were 4 partners that collaborates on looking at summer school sites. the 4 were the mtap with muni, the youth services with san francisco police department and the security guards through the san francisco unified school district and d.c. yf. we rolled out responsibilities and it was within the scope of work we were doing and to form what that looked like. they are going to be the primary lead but have support of m tap to deal with interventions outside the perimeter the school. and the police department was a supp

generations of romantic romps and revenge, political betrs, la parties, and the power struggles rampant in this opulent world. ty n wander quietly, breathing in the glorious renaissance setting. the dynamicsress and the desire to excel were epidemic. eventually, the renaissance spre le ne throughout western europe and england. a 30-minute train ride from london will land you at a favorite retreat of king henry viii. hampton court palace has stood on the north bank of the river thames for more than 500 years, and it's housed famous figures, incling eli mars. cardinal thomas wolsey of york began building the tudor palace in 1514, and by the 1520s, he had "gifted" it to an insistent henry viii, but wolsey was indicted for treason anyway. during his time here, henry managed to find time to remodel. he replaced part of the elaborate great hall, and it's said his tudor kitchen could serve 1,000 meals a day. the wolsey room holds some of europe's finest renaissance paintings, and the elaborate mazes in the garden are famous. the renaissance legacy that we can see-- tharanaritture-- lives on magnificently today, evidence of a tornado of creativity that maybe is unmatched in human history. 500 yea

dynamic work place. the way people work now is different than the way they work in 1936, and it is going to change again very soon. as i mentioned, when the "world of warcraft" generation comes to work, they will not want the same kinds of offices that we do. there's not enough time for me to give credit where credit is due. i see a lot of people who have been working very hard to get this building position to begin construction, but today marks the beginning of the next stage. we will still need follow- through to make sure that what we have collectively plan together is executed, and i look forward to seeing all of you when the work has been completed, and we can be launched this magnificent building into the future. thanks very much. [applause] >> thank you, and of course, what we have for you is the split four-way coin. you will be able to buy just what you paid for. [laughter] i bet many of you are asking yourselves when this whole shovel thing happened and why somebody is buried right in front of jeff, and some of you may have been asking yourselves -- there is five of us and 6 shovels. that will not be the emergency, i promise. we will come up now for basically

dynamic change. so any matters the commissioners would like to fit into our busy schedule with disciplinary hearings and resolutions and selection of a police chief and all the other matters, the department of general order regarding shooting of vehicles, the reintroduction of the potential of the use of instrumenting the use of tasers, all these different things circulating out there, is there anything else that commissioners would like to add to our agenda? >> mr. president, we're on 4-c, status report, commission priority list. >> that's correct. >> but the committee that's basically been working on this consists of myself, commissioner slaughter, and commissioner marshal and what we put together for the assistance of the commissioners this evening is a recap of our retreat back in october where in order to focus on the work and the priorities and objectives of the commission, we all discussed at some length the mission of the commission and i believe commissioners chan and dejesus are going to solidify and write the mission out. but what we have before us this evening are the objectives, not in a priority listing but as they came up of all of the commissioners at that time. and i think that whe
