so, i'll speak to the general reserve of general fund money, the rainy day reserve which was passed by the charter, in the charter a number of years ago, the budget stabilization reserve which is an additional reserve that was passed by ordinance in a financial policy by the board of supervisors in order to augment the rainy day reserve because it's very unlikely and difficult to withdraw from the rainy day reserve and then we have a couple of incentive reserves, both a citywide one and one specific to the recreation and park department, and then on the expenditure side, there are a number of voter approved expenditure requirements, index to either general fund revenues or other tax revenues or specific service or staffing requirements. with respect to the city's general reserve, it was the reserve policy was passed by the board in april of 2010, and that was subsequent to a charter amendment that we refer to as budget reform that also brought us the two year budget financial policies as well as additional reserves, and the purpose of this general fund reserve is to absorb a year-end r

generation and our nations history. much of what is going on today in america would not have been possible without them. the civil rights movement which they played a leading role in pushing out forward and ending the war in vietnam and changing the way we viewed citizen involvement in government, changing the way we think about our elected officials and the ability to create up star movements. i think all that was incredibly important and the beginning of the women's movement all that great activism that it produced and all of that we are seeing that directly play out today whether it's the election of barack obama or the continued advancement of women in congress so all that is a direct result of their activism. that being said there is a lot of work left undone and i think that we now spend three fourths of our entitlement money on people who are over the age of 30 and it used to be we spent three for some people under the age of 30 in terms of the amount of money and investment. it's not in terms of generational war

i call this generation a proreality generation. which is, on any number of issues where it seems older generations are still having a debate. this generation sees this is the reality of our world. it may be good, may be bad, but this is the framework we have to work within, and we're not going to make the world nongloballized. there's just not a way to do that. in this particular moment. >> host: there was an idea that globalization would help export democracy. like a 20-year-old, 15-year-old idea. do you think millenials, millenial generation, shares that optimism in the kinds of project that globalization can accomplish in third worlds and developing countries? >> guest: i think that technology has certainly been a force that has happened do that. and technology perhaps is the greatest globalizer, because platforms in a lot of cases are country agnostic. there are web sites and people of content, leaving aside issues of censorship and things like that, but in general there is an ability for me to be on a web site and be in touch

you know the san francisco hospital foundation the general hospital foundation has been such a wonderful wonderful entity and i want to just thank stephanie your leadership, i want to thank julie and rich at the board with all of the other board members, the staff at the hospital, all of the staph, you know sometimes the doctors have to do it's emergency work but what makes that whole hospital run is literally everybody that works at the hospital from the social workers to the accountants to the administrators to the nurses, and nurse practitioner and is the doctors and all of the fundraisers thank you everybody for working together. and for today, again, a big thanks to ellen and pam for your leadership and bringing the hearts and the heros together. it's such a wonderful just community effort to support our general hospital and all of the work that it does. everybody knows what it does already. but i also want to say there are other heros that you are acknowledging today and i would like to just give them a word of thanks. you know, when people get to the hospital, sometimes, it's in t

the foundation's sole mission is to improve the care and comfort of patients at the general. that mission continues today. and as we expand into the recognition of world renown research and training excellence, that takes place in the hospital's campus each day, the hospital is the hub of cutting edge medical research and is the training, real of meeting for tomorrow's healthcare providers the union bank support of the foundation we are working to secure the future of healthcare in our communities. i'm proud to introduce the final award des who are prime examples of quality, excellence and leadership, and we see in the hospital each and everyday. with 22 years of combined experience at the general, oncology resource workers carolyn land and rashel oakland help canner patient and their families cope with this debill at a timing distance with grace and compassion. years of navigating the patient population of the complex system of coverage and healthcare these women work to meet each individual's needs and carol helped one young family who's head of household was diagnosed with

the plan recommends a certain level of general fund support. this year, i believe it's approximately 80 million dollars, and that number grows over the life of the plan. one of the recommendations that the capital plan makes is that the city should fund the level that it's funding today and then grow that amount by 10% every year, and the reason for that is that the city has a significant backlog in term of maintaining our facilities, maintaining the facilities that we own. >> so, and fully funding it, it would include long-term maintenance rather than deferred because it would help address those deferred maintenance issues? >> that's right, and the director of the capital planning program will be eager to talk to you about this, the capital plan that's before you this year, it will be the first plan that during the ten year planning window, we begin to make progress on that backlog which would be real progress if we were able to do that. now, i would point out to you and i think many of you know this, the city has not been able to fully fund t

to try and address them how can you how can you generalize like that of any any one general generation what are the one of the markers that give you the the parameters for that generalization bill you're absolutely right you know when we talk about a generation you know especially one of eighty million people who are inherently trying to find a way to you know pin pin down what are the most exciting things in a generation one of the most promising trends in a generation that are having an impact on everyone else so that nothing is going to be representative of eighty million people you can find in a generation of a million people or a generation of fifty million people for that matter people of all sorts of experiences with all kinds of backgrounds by. you know in this generation we've sort of seen this transformative impact of the things that millennial are doing the business is that we're starting new technology platforms like facebook and twitter are changing the way that everyone is having to do business so there's really sort of a transformative impact of sort of these trends on t

i agree with general chipman and with general harding as well. i think it comes down to victims knowing that they will be responded to, supported, cared for through the process. we're in the process of hiring professional, full--time victim advocates which is different than having a lawyer serve as a victim advocate. we're striving to form a core relationship between prosecutors, investigators and the victim advocate to work with the victims who come forward in a constructive, cohesive way. we're watching with interest the our force pilot on what a special victims counsel role could be within the system where we don't have one very well defined. but they would not supplant a victim advocate. we've all instituted expedited transfer. last year the navy approved 79 of them. none were disapproved within 72 hours. and if a command declines, the request goes to the next flag on the chain. there were no declinations. i think the training that we've devised -- informed in large part by the experiences shared so powerfully in "the invisible war" -- are he

the other utilities generating electricity. those are 17-1800 jobs and you are contracting their work under this proposal you are contracting their work out to shell oil. that is our objection. there is no misinformation, there is no uncertainty, no lack of clarity. this is a contract to shell energy to provide electricity. pure and simple. that is our objection. those are jobs. people want the work and we want control of that energy here in san francisco and in california as a whole. not out of state contracts to purchase electricity. the other two items we heard today again, there is no plan for a local build out. commissioner mentioned it, rate board members mentioned that. he said it just right because it's our concern as well, if this plan doesn't work and we are stuck with a contract with shell, that's work that my members do that no one else gets the do. that's our issue. and finally, again, using -- moving money around, creating, using a reserve fund as collateral which is what i heard to permit bondings capacity, it's

>> guest: it's made the generation realize we are part of a global war generation that is cognizant of the rest of the world being deeply related to us. you may have been able to to be in the rest of the world and think about america only or your country only but i think we recognize that and fighting the war has made it a generation first of all remember this generation is the one fighting this war. it's overwhelmingly people have had this experience and it's made this generation weary of the importance of going into how much we need to do that and perhaps not necessarily a generation of peaceniks but less enthusiastic of military action i think in the future and something that is echoed in the country as a whole. there is a sense of fatigue around military involvement but what is interesting is we've lived in a time period without having to actually make any sacrifice around the fact we've been at war. there's no signs you can walk down the street or that we are at war for the past ten years and i'd think that is also something that's different about opposed to the generation where i

analysts from deerfield institute found generics lost 52% of them.armen . >> these deals have been structured such that generics will get on the market before the patent expires that the brand name company is protecting. >> reporter: the justices had tough questions from both sides during today's hearing. a decision is expected by late june. i'm bertha combs. >> here's jeff brennan, currently a partner at mcdermott. the simple question, i guess is, who's winning and who's losing here? are consumers losing? are drug companies winning? >> it's really not that simple. it depends on your view about that paradigm which the ftc is challenging. they would say, and their supporters, would say that in a settlement agreement in which the innovator company pays money to the generic, that that has an effect where generics enter the market at a lower price, and consumers are worse off because they don't have an option for a lower priced alternative until a later time in the future. the opposite response to that by the parties who enter into these agreements and t

of actual inner generational cooperation between this generation of a generation this generation is actually closer with their parents than any generation ever been before parents and children talk more they have more a closer connection and that that's also true incidentally of millenniums with their grandparents so we're really seeing sort of a way in which we look at them we want to learn from them and their experiences you you you didn't mention the intervening generation the jenna is generally yeah yeah i mean i think there's i think there's a little bit of conflict between generation x. and millennial you know i don't think there's much to the idea that it's kind of generational. warfare there but i think a lot of people in generation x. have again you know talking about what the what the dominant trend is here have a negative perception of millennial they think a lot of that is because people in that generation are the prime managers of millennial in the workplace and there's been a lot of discussion about millennial as and how they are as workers and i think part of the challenges yo

good morning commissioners, general manager. i just wanted to come and say as an ordinary citizen interested in our parks and open space that the many times that i have been able to attention prozac meetings, les has been very inviting, informative and very fair as answering our concerns and it was a pleasure to be at his meetings and you look forward to going to future meetings with my good friend linda. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> is there anyone else who wishes to make public comment on the general manager's report? being none, this item is closed a. and we're now on general manager public comment. >> before that let me say that those in the back we're required to make sure everybody has a seat. >> we're on general public comment. at this time members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject-matter jurisdiction of the commission and that do not appear on the agenda. i have three cards. mark christinsen, ray ponce, and leana emery. >> good morning commiss

it's such a wonderful just community effort to support our general hospital and all of the work that it does. everybody knows what it does already. but i also want to say there are other heros that you are acknowledging today and i would like to just give them a word of thanks. you know, when people get to the hospital, sometimes, it's in time. sometimes it's a little late. but having a world-class hospital treat you, is what we expect and come to expect in this world-class city. but there are also people that work in addition, to the emergency staff that aren't being recognized today and i want to give a south out to john cat he and officer david sand volunteer of the police department because they are doing prefix work because they know, they know along with our police chief and all the others that if we prevent people from getting injured if we can get them into lifestyles that are safer, we will be that much more successful as a city and they are doing that with gang prevention and motivation and aspiration for the youth getting them jobs as officers in a capacity outside of thei

general. i think it's also interesting that both of these people are fighter pilots, they both have served together, and that adds more appearance of impropriety to this particular decision and i'm going to ask general welsh some very difficult questions. thank you very much, general mattis. >> thank you, senator mccaskill. there's going to be a hearing, a sexual assault hearing that senator jill brand is chairing as chair of our subcommittee. i think even the issue you raise is broader than sexual assault it has to do with the pow ore they have convening authority, -- power of the convening authority and we will ask the department of defense, bob taylor, acting general counsel, to address this issue, if this is ok and consistent with the -- what you have in mind senator mccaskill, i think it's important that we just start getting the general counsel aware of the issue, the no reason at all language in the ucmj and get this committee for starters an opinion as to the source of that language an

i agree with the general chipman and with general harding as well. think it comes down to victims knowing that they will be responded to, supportive, fortitude to process. we are in the process of hiring professional full-time victim advocates, which is different than having a lawyer serve as a victim advocate. we are striving to perform a corps relationship between prosecutors, investigators and the victim advocate to work with the victim who comes forward in a constructive, cohesive way. we are watching with interest the air force pilot on what a special victim council role could be within the system where we don't have one very well-defined, but they would not supplant a victim advocate. we've all instituted, expedited transfer. last year, the navy approved 79 of them. none were disapproved. within 72 hours. and if the command declined, the request goes to the next link in the chain. there were no declination. i think -- informed in large part by the experiences shared so powerfully in "the invisible war" are helping out all levels, people to unde

and the dark blew it the general cities general tuition and this is the amount of money we were able to get through governing pelo pelosis money but it went away last year. and then also want to highlight the drop in cdc funding so this represents the funding moving forward. thank you and good afternoon supervisors thank you so much for having us here on behalf of the hiv centers. hiv continues to test us so the funding has gone down dramatically over the last dozen years and ultimately it is impacting the clients at risk living with hiv and aids. and yet i want to talk about the silver lining because as we are in partnership with the elected leaders in san francisco we've continued to create some innovative protection and prevention. i want to tell me this is called the garden cascade otherwise known as the garden can say candy. almost a million folks are living with hiv. and you continue to go down less and less phone calls are engaged in care and those are the folks that at that point hiv transition reduces dramatically. what's pretty incredible is that we've tested will 8 hundred

we've extended those discussion later into the spring that we generally do. we're going to be bringing a set of proposals to the health commission in mid-april and, of course, sharing those with the members of this committee as we do so and having further discussions with you throughout the budget process. but a number of things we need to do are the changes on how we operate so we operate as a single network rather than a separate division to make sure we're providing the best care for our patients at the least costs across our system. we need to look at look into the future as we rely on medicare and we need to look to what extent we can afford programs and services that are complet

general dana chipman. he has had a distinguished career in the service of the .nited states and is a lawyer after finishing his commission in the infantry at west point, he went to one of the nation's great law schools, stanford university law school, and received his g.d.. he then went on to receive other academic degrees, including a master plot in military science from the judge advocate general's school. then a master of strategic studies degree from the united states army war college. he has had an extraordinary career within the judge advocate general's corps, deployed in a variety of operational and staff positions, some of them among the most important in our recent history as a country. these include his deployment to the first special forces operational detachment, the delta airborne, the joint special operations command, united states special operations command, and the united states central command. was deployed as a legal adviser to the joint operations task force for operation in doreen freed

one is open space and it's projected to generate $17 million. the second is transit, streetscape and the plan is projected to create $22 million for that. and finally community facilities such as child-care and library materials and the plan is projected to generate approximately $3 million for those. the administrative code amendment is very straightforward and essentially it's just amending it to again plug western soma into the eastern neighborhood's process officially and to take the four non-voting members that currently are on the citizens' advisory committee and make them voting members. it's important to note, too, there are three specific components to the plan that were called for that are not part of the action in front of you today. special heritage districts, one filipino and one for the lgbt communities. the community stabilization policy, the very first objective in policy in the plan states there should be a community stabilization policy and to achieve as you heard from others a balance of jobs and especially affordable housing.

and generic manufacturers.hey are keeping the generic drug on the sideline and both are reaping huge rewards. gerri: let's let ralph in here for a second. conspiracy is a pretty heavy charge. there is a 20-year window for patent protection for these drugs. it is a long time. and the citizens of your organization probably don't have 20 years. ralph, let's hear what you have to say about this issue of collusion. it could be an antitrust issue. ultimately your members of your organization and big farmers, you are both part of the same big industry. >> well, we are certainly part of the pharmaceutical industry. of course, we are fierce competitors. what the facts are, and serve the conspiracy or collusion is a ridiculous charge. will we are able to do because you have to understand that if we litigate everything we only when 48 percent of the time. if we settle, if we have pat and settlements, settlements save. the consumer gets the affordable medicine that has the generic version 76 percent of the time. gerri: typ

our world" representing the millennial generation generation congratulations. who the hell are the millennial generation? >> the largest in history. 80 million people in this generation in the united states 2.5 billion. >> how many in the united states? >> 80 million, it's the largest generation in history, one of the most educated in history, one of the most diverse in history. only 43% identify themselves as white it's a generation that came of age around the time of 911, that came of age straddling the line between the best of my knowledge al digit al world and they are acting the way we are living. >> you had nothing to do with that, of course? your parents just happened to give birth to you then to qualify as part of the millennial generation, you have to have been born after -- >> it's people born in about the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s. you know, you can maybe put it a little bit earlier. and it's really, you know categorized by people who came of age in some way around the time of the millennium so they are 4 or 3 a little bit too young to understand th

approved and over the years, the voters have required that the city set aside a certain amount of our general fund revenues for particular purposes, the largest one is for muni mta, both in the area of the transit services and parking and traffic, so you see that this is a percentage of what we call aggregate discretionary revenues, this is our revenue sources, taxes, does not include federal and tax [inaudible] and the way these work, supervisors, when they were established, we took a snapshot as to how much general fund money these departments received during that year and we grow that amount based on the growth of these general fund revenues so in the current year for the municipal railway, we have approximately 154 million that is appropriated to them and an additional 58 million dollars for parking and traffic, similarly with the library, 53 million, children services, 115 and this particular baseline is the only one that we overfund that is we provide them with more dollars that is required by formula. the public education services baseline, we need to maintain the level of funding that

carlysle has been a leader in the rebuilding of san francisco general hospital. as we all know, one of the most important projects in our city's recent history. and she's been a leader in elevating status of women at both ucsf and sf general. dr. carlysle has come a long way from louisiana town, small town in which she was born. she has a very, very impressive educational resume. masters in science, ph.d. in para cytology of tulane university, post doctorate work at rice university, medical degree from the university of pennsylvania in my hometown philadelphia, resident in medicine and fellowship in critical care in anesthesia from ucsf. she joined the ucsf faculty in 1990. in 1999 she was appointed chief of anesthesia at san francisco general, a position she held until 2005. in 2004 she was appointed associate dean. besides currently serving as vice dean, she is also currently a professor of clinical anesthesia and medicine where she is educating the next generation of doctors at ucsf. in her time at ucsf dr. carlysle has won numerous awards, including the stuar

at&t and general motors. is also the author of a new memoir, "american turnaround: reinventing at&t and gm and the way we do business in the usa." it's a candid and unflinching look at american business and i had a difficult time in a period that would result went through. and yet the book is also very optimistic about corporate america and america in general. welcome. >> guest: thank you, stephanie. it's nice to be your. >> host: he became chairman of general motors immediately after the company filed for bankruptcy. you came out of retirement to take the job. why did you do it? >> guest: i became chairman when he came out of bankruptcy. the day came out of bankruptcy. it's a good question why i took a. because when first asked i said no, i know nothing about the car business. i can drive on. i can start one. and i was retired from at&t and i was in sort of late '60s, but i kept talking to steve rattner it was the car czar. he kept talking about public service. i kept thinking about how my family had owned g

the brief i discussed was signed by the attorney general, solicitor general bork, a solicitor general randolph and the guy without a title. on the same day, the attorney-general, solicitor general, deputy solicitor general fried men and another guy without a title followed a brief on behalf of the federal election commission and the united states as a party defending the statute's constitutionality. the department of justice managed to be on opposite sides of the same case as a party and as an amicus curiae so if you think that bulkeley is an odd opinion sustaining some sections that are indistinguishable from others that are held invalid and saying attwell all is okay because i was so narrow being limited to the core of political speech while it had an odd genesis, too. there is something about the subject that seems to preclude straight talk and honest analysis and that as far as i am concerned is a very good reason why it shouldn't be regulated at all. the framers of the constitution to the political speech and activity needed protection from legislators. when legislators and membe

so right now i am a support team committed to the combatant commanders like general mattis and general ham and others. and that is a great relationship i provide in the forces. they fight the forces or their the operational command and control and i'm perfectly comparable. >> you don't think any changes need to be made with regard to that? >> not in regards to the command relationships with the combatant commanders in terms of the forces that are under their operational control. no, ma'am. i do not. >> you think there needs to be any additional legal authority for our soldiers in order for them to train with our partners? >> that's certainly an area that we're taking a look at. right now one of the amendments that present some problems for us is the leahy amendment. as we have to bet the units to make sure that there are no human rights violations, and we are absolute in favor and we understand the value and importance of making sure we could claim human rights. unfortunately, at a time sometimes when those units need of our partnership and our relationship so they understand what righ
