ginsberg said. usually i am on the opposite team. we found out about how faithful the family was in carrying beestings output -- carrying these things out. we think it is a win-win for the city and the people that are here using the park all of the time. thank you very much. supervisor chu: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is michelle accused. i have been a ventura resident for 10 years and a mother of three. i am a member of two of the largest parents curves in the city. stow lake is one of the places that we all know that we do not visit because it needs rehabilitation. it is also important that my children have mobile and it -- local and organic member ingredients. i support this of -- the restoration upper stow lake -- the restoration of stow lake. thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is dr. [unintelligible] patron of stow lake and the boat house, a breast cancer survivor that goes for health to the resources that stow lake. the paddle boats that are great exercise, as well as the beautiful landscape. kudos to th

ginsberg called me last friday and advise me that based on some of the comments we had made in our report, he went back to the ortega family. that is when we first learned of the increase in the minimum guarantee. bacouif there was a higher amout potentially proposed by the current operator, was there a lower amount compared to the capital improvement. your concern was not the minimum annual at first. i believe that or take a's aspect was the $200,000 which they were able to do for capital improvements. >> to get into some of the selection process, the current operator proposed $23,000 in capital improvements at the site. as of last night, he warned me that he did not agree with that characterization that it was 23,000. i expressed some of those sentiments today. we reviewed his proposal, 23,000. furthermore, the documentation that was given to our commission on august 19th in advance of the commission hearings. this is the far right proposal of the corporation and it talks about the value of the proposed improvements being 23,000. this is public information. he has attended this. he was

director ginsberg has stated that golden gate park should adhere to its master plan to provide park appropriate uses. this is a non-conforming use, as is the proposed water treatment plant on the western side of the park. in the spirit of what is good for the goose being good for the gander and in the consistency of application of policy, i would venture that recycling centers should not be allowed in public parks and the dolores park recycling plant should also be looked at for its lease termination. we encourage hanc's recycling efforts, however locations in city parks with master plans that specifically prohibits these activities are inappropriate. a more appropriate location for a recycling center would be the high school. thank you very much. supervisor mirkarimi: [unintelligible] come forward. >> my name is barbara sange. i was a resident in the mid- 80's, and have been around for about 30 years. my observations are kind of folksy. this is mean spirited. there are layers and layers of agenda and payback and corrupt positioning on different positions. we have to remember that x marks the s

names like alan ginsberg but you won't see the name harvey milk. organizers they say the first honorees should be e-mail who received awards but not as many accolades as harvey milk. he has received so many at this point. >>> did you watch the superbowl or get outside? >> was there a superbowl yesterday? >> there was. my kids with were swimming when the game was happening. >> but your husband was glued to the tube. >> it's tough to be inside like a day like yesterday. but nice days ahead of us. it won't quite as warm. good morning to you. in fact right now you may notice it's a little cooler in some areas. 50 in antioch and san rafael. 54 in san francisco. we cracked the 30-degree mark and 40 in napa. they in santa rosa. everybody else in the mid to upper 40s. these temperatures, they seem mild are anywhere from nine degrees cooler in san jose to 18 in redwood city. 22 in fairfield. 16 degrees cooler n cooler in oakland. still a pretty good day to see temperatures above average but not record setting. 70 in ukiah and look for breezes to pick up. mi

ambassador to morocco and middle east expert mark ginsberg. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's begin with the military. what role does the military have during this time of transition? >> actually the supreme counsel led by the defense minister and deputy prime minister and the chief of staff are actually in charge of the country. the vice president omar suleiman seems to have been put somewhat off to the side. and so this military council that essentially has been put in place is going to govern egypt. the problem is the military, although strong, popular, has never governed anything. >> do you trust the military to leave when it says it's going to leave? >> that's going to be the $64,000 question. because in the final analysis, egypt has been ruled since 1953 by the military. whether in the guise of civilians, who put on civilian uniforms, sadat, mubarak, they were all military people. the question is, does the military step back and let democracy begin to take root? that is to help create the civil institutions that have to take

justice ginsberg was general counsel for one of the abortion -- she was headed the woman's right. i do not think the fact that justice scalia has given a speech to an organization that has an ideological view should exclude them. if there is a financial stake, they have read clues to -- recused themselves. what qualifies? >> my question deals with corporations that violate human rights causes. why aren't they subject to three strikes? [laughter] [applause] >> this will put you in an awkward situation. >> one of the things put in the book was the same year that i lost 5-4, i was representing a family that died as a result of a ford bronco rollover. the evidence showed that ford rash of the bronco on to the market known for its propensity to roll over and did not put in rollover bars. the top rope was almost all fair brass -- fiberglass. a jury awarded $285 million against florida. -- ford. they said it would be manslaughter it done in criminal law. they handed down a case that limited punitive damages. california and reduced -- california reduced it to $24 million. that is still a

i understand they share passions, scalia and ginsberg on the opera, which is a basis. have nine brilliant minds and nine folks who believe that they have a right, and they want to say in their own words how it is right. so i don't think that based on the issues -- the opinions from the supreme court to form an opinion on whether they are collegial are not. i think they are exceptionally bright people who want to say it their way. >> we hear a lot about the value of judicial independence. i wonder whether it judicial independence as a threat to collegiality. is it a coincidence that the justices we think as the most carefully independents are the ones who are least collegial? they are two on your court that come to mind. >> is the question -- the more independent, the less collegial? i think that is not necessarily the case. i think again, going back to judge edwards and mitchell's definition of collegiality. it is an environment. if you laid the foundation for that environment, then of course, if we are in a safe environment, we can tolerate, respect, and even poked fu
