just give greens a chance. just give them a chance. everyone wants to look good, feel better, and have more energy, and that's where these guys come in--dark, leafy greens. nutritionists call them the superheroes of the vegetable world. they say they are packed with vitamins "a," "c," and "k," as well as iron, calcium, and fiber. and because of all of that nutritional appeal, what started out more as a comfort food has found acceptance amongst the masses as of late, yet few of us quite know what to do with them when we see them in the store--unless, of course, you're in ventura at the 71 palm restaurant. that's where you couldn't find a bigger fan of dark, leafy greens than chef poireir. >> ok. we got a baby bok choy. beautiful. nice and pretty. we got a bit of chard right now, the red and the green. just direct from the farm. et voila. >> it's like a whirlwind in the kitchen with this chef as he makes cooking with greens actually look easy. take, for example, this dish. he adds noodles and a little white wine reduction with some sweet

it would provide community enhancement, the greening. it slows the water down and gives it another way to go. it is another pathway. a tunnel or infrastructure, eso the types of projects that we will be looking at to solve the problem to me to the level of service, it would be increased collection capacity, the daylighting, the undrawn -- the underground systems. and we need to get some more experience under our belt. we're looking at focused watershed planning efforts and coming back to the commission in the fall to be able to say this is a watershed we would like to be able to start with and really looking at the watershed, et what creeks are there, the to be terry danish -- the tributary dane drink -- drainage. it has to be put through a triple bottom line analysis so we get a long-term kerf -- kerf -- curve. we want to make sure that captured water can be reused, and strategically, will be focusing on. that are susceptible to flooding, that i showed you in an earlier slide. i reviewed them earlier. we would be dealing with new techno

>> we are reaching out to green technology advisory committee members now. we're hoping to be in a position to bring back the report to you by september. >> ok. >> and so that would mean the technology advice would have been completed and public outreach efforts would have been completed. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> and that would result in proposals for capital programs, expansion or contractions or modification of some of the incentive programs that we have? >> correct. it could. it could also result in recommendations for legislative action by the board of supervisors to try to lower what hurdles there may be in permitting behind the meter facilities, for example. so it's a broad range of recommended abouts that we could come to you with within the september time frame. both in how we spend our revenue stream but also how we interact with the broader city family and making it easier for residents and businesses to take some of these active steps to lower their consumption. ok. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> so there's

and the green agenda would come first of all through the green energy and that means on the green energyhis joint project that'sncreased and u.s. aid between the u.s. aid and partners with green energy in this region d we very much believe in the necessity and the importance of this project. we've had a little bit of delay because of some operational matters but we' now in the process of solving them so that we can go on with this process. and that's a project that we value very much. we think that for the western balkans green energy can become a springboard for more cooperation. you know greece is present economically in many of those countries. greece has about 30% of the banking sector and some of those countries in is serbia, for example. moving in the next productive units is very important because that can bring more and me enhanced cooperation between the economies of the countries. and it's not just energy. it is transport. it is greetransport. we think that we need to work with those countries for transports, for example. and we consider this as a challenge and as an opportunit

>> green this is the weird one and i should have gotten to you last and she is green because she is walking. very good. this patient. >> (inaudible). >> very good. >> we tagged red. >> because? >> not responding -- >> very good and tagged red correctly. triage and i hope you guys can do it and 32 can do and divide the reds and the yellows and th greens are walking wounded and blacks are dead and simple as that and how long should you be with a patient? not more than 15 seconds and ho long does it take to check breathing? and you know right away and couple seconds to ask for a command and 22nds to check this and 15 seconds with a patient at the most and common injuries are brucing bruising, lacerations and sprains and si signs and symptoms that you wil see is pain, di discoloration, e deformity and some of the treatments and you want to see the wounds and see blood and ri open the shirt so you can treat it and you see blood here and rip the shirt open and the bloo is from somewhere else and i immobilize them and someone has an object and never remove it and it's embedded and if you pull it o

that is why green buildings make economic sense. this is not just making an % aesthetic point for a point about the environment, it is also making a strong dollar arguments, and that is exactly the direction we need to continue to go in. we have a certified requirement in san francisco, not for public but also private buildings, but we have never done platinum for an urban commercial project of this type, so that is exciting and complement's the project. this will be an extraordinary model building but just for the state but for the country, so it is a very exciting project in that respect. >> the mayor will be joining tim from local 3. >> thank you all for coming. i'm dr. mitch caps -- katz, director of the san francisco health department. we are very proud of san francisco general hospital.

the environment and public works; our governor, arnold schwarzenegger, who is a leader in reducing green house emissions, and our legislator don perada and gerald huffman who you will hear from later on in the program, and of course our mayor, gavin newsom. gavin newsom has been a leader of the environment before it was the sexy thing to do. he has been responsible for putting solar power at moscone center; responsible for putting power at san francisco international airport; responsible for putting solar power at the waste water facility in the bayview hunter's point. he will be responsible for putting power on our libraries, on our schools, and everywhere possible in the city and county of san francisco. we're very fortunate that this mayor has been the first mayor to create a climate action plan that will reduce the green house emissions by 20 percent by the year 2012. this mayor has also been a leader and innovation and we're looking at creating -- in harnessing paddle power below the golden gate bridge and that will be done under gavin newsom's leadership. so please put your hands t

[inaudible] >> i think part of the issue is coming

you go to the market and couldn't find the green beans. i thought, those weren't the green beans. they didn't taste like the french. i had a passion about flavor. philosophically, i wasn't thinking about where the sustainable farms were. i was looking for taste and ended upright there on the doorstep of the local [inaudible], so it happened organically? [laughter] did you have a lot of choice? was there the network? organic farmers all around? >> closest was frozen. they were hanging up there. they were fishing and food out in front. i started looking in the markets, first. then um -- a friend who ate at the restaurant said, i see you want radishes and you want french things, i am growing french breakfast radishes in my backyard. i said bring them in, we can make a trade. you can have lunch. i planted in my backyard and grew salad, the infamous mescaline salad. it was a little mix of wild greens brought in by the peasant to the market outside of nize. >> so it happened like that. when you started searching for sustainable produce, not the way it is produced or harvested, but susta

but al green is not an ordinary condition. he's not just a political unknown, he is an unemployed military veteran facing felony obscenity charges. however, he is the democratic nominee for senator from south carolina. he apparently has no campaign organization. he has also suggested that south carolina can solve its economic problems by selling action figures of himself. last night, a south carolina minor league baseball team handed out alvin greene bobbleheads at the game. however, not everybody is treating this campaign as a joke. so, we're going to bring in our senior washington editor rick klein. rick, greene is up against the republican senator jim demint, who is a powerful conservative incumbent. this seems like a huge mismatch, right? >> that's exactly right. and jim demint, there was no chance of democrats defeating him even before greene emerged on the radar screen. democrats hoped that demint would win quietly. as long as greene is around, it's clear that's not going to happen. his speech got national press attentio

moving up to the podium level, the light green and dark green is open space. open to the blue sky. it measures about 45, 50 feet wide by 100 feet long. and it provides a substantial part required open space. the building's shape, c shape focuses on the plaza, so creates an overview and -- a visual interconnection between the plaza and the housing. rising up above the podium level are typical floors, the -- the yellow colored area signifies four apartment types, the largest one in the upper left corner, a three bedroom. just below it a two bedroom and overlooking ocean avenue are one bedrooms and studios. the appearance of the building is -- overlooking ocean avenue is the lower image. you can see that it -- it sports four bay -- vertical bay windows which harkin back to the basic voke marry of much of san francisco and sets up a rhythm had is -- matches the typical parcel size of san francisco. the bay windows are about 22 feet on center rather than 25 foot typical parcel size. the right hand of the building lifts and becomes very colorful and marks the -- the point of entry into t

james lick purchased this and left two green houses and subsequently purchased by mr. crocker and donated to dol golden gate bride and erected in 1879 and by the hammer works in dublin ireland. >> there is an exception to the rule. >> you're right and the stones from the abbey and now dispersed and line the path. >> right. there is an older building there but never got put back together. >> this building had 33 tons of glass in it. it was recently rebuilt and one of the reasons it had to be rebuilt these moderns are much more knowledgeable than the people in the 1800's and we knee w knew wo seal up the windows and all the building we did made it rot and it needed ventilation and had to undo the work that was done and back to the original design and expensive project and $20 million plus but it's a gorgeous building. woody can tell us about carville. >> this is the last in fact carville house. it was a community of discarded streetcars, horse pulled cars, various modes of transportation that were made obsolete by electric streetcars so cars were dumped out in the beach

[applause] to our supervisor and the solar incentive and the work force training, the green financing. i really appreciate that. supervisor tchu, thank you for your hard work and your storage shipped. everyone that is coming in your office for help. i know how difficult it is to be president of a board. there are a lot of good grade of ideas. i look forward to working with you. i encourage you on the budget camteam. [applause] to carmen, a lot of the changes were because of your stewardship and the hard work and your commitment. this was a great decision that you made to reappoint avalos as the budget share. to have what he was able to accomplish last year and to know that he will be here this year, i know how difficult it is. i know the calls and the pressure you get. i know how difficult this will be. i want to thank you in advance for being willing to commit to this process and know that you have an open door and i am fully committed to working with you and doing what we can. i know that there is a lot that will be asked of you. thank you as well. >that is enough of me. to all of y

[indistinct talking] >> so we've got salad greens today, fava greens. >> her fava beans and boxes of her braise mix were eagerly received at the magpie caterers marketing cafe in sacramento. chef ed roehr wasted no time turning them into a delicious dish. >> jim's been a great help in us for learning what we can get in the area and how we can get those items here. well, without a connection to the food, you know, i think when you're trying to make food as close to the farm to table as possible-- we are busy, our calendar is busy all the time, and the reality of the matter is is as a chef of a place like this, i don't even have a lot of time to cook. it's almost--there's so much going on, and having somebody that you can depend on and somebody you can trust, that gives us the confidence to go out to our clients and our guests here in the cafe and say, you know, "this is what we told you it was. this is from here. and this is where it comes from." and that's a big deal. information is a big deal. >> the restaurant has an extremely busy kitchen. but to mills, who's in his sixties, it's

now, since the bay has risen 7 inches in the past century, and the amount of green house gasses being emitted are continuing, it's hard for me to understand how we could only have a 3-inch rise in the next hundred years. but if you want to understand, ask leslie lako. she understands very clearly. if it turns out that sea level rise is closer to 3 feet over the next century, here are two maps. the one on the left shows what the bay looked like in 1849. the other one shows what it will look like in 2100. as you can see, they look pretty much the same, and that's the good news because the bay surface that was lost to diking and filling in the first century after california became a state would once again become part of the bay. the bad news is we have built all kinds of very expensive stuff that's critical to civilization in the bay area on most of that filled land. let me show you a few examples. this is san francisco international airport. the dark blue is where the bay is now. the light blue is where it will be with a one meter rise in sea level. that's oakland international airport.

this was organized by teens turning green. they are expecting about 60 people calling for a moratorium on smart meterrings until there is a longer term scientific proof that the radiofrequencies have no impact on human health. pg&e has been installing them all over the bay area, they record energy units in 15- minute or one hour increments and are transmitted on a wireless network back to pg&e using radiowaves and cellular technology. pg&e says smart meters fall within ftc transmission requirements and they are safer than radios, cell phones and televisions because the smart meters only transmit intermittently but these protestors say any exposure is too much. >> we have no choice here. there is no opt out. there are plenty of people that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. they still have them put on their houses and they tell us it's too bad. >> once customers get information about the program about the ability to help them control their energy costs that smart meter provides, many of the other benefits, they are far

we will have to be creative about how we green that up and do not create loaded issues. there is a large main event speaks -- space that has opportunities for public art and sculpture that we will develop as the process goes forward. what we call the waterfront edge is an opportunity to think about how to occupy that waterfront edge in an exciting way. down at the bottom of the site, we discover in the process of designing the valley that we have this whole area of parke that we had before. we have an opportunity to create a piazza that could have vital commercial uses -- small cafes, bicycle rental, sandwich shops that can work in concert with the beltway building to create a kind of active space that is part of the experience of arriving in the city of san francisco.

there is no buyer at this point -- directly adjacent to the green. assuming your approval of these leases as well as various approvals from the planning and building departments. the representative that i have here will do much better job of describing the project, so we will leave that to him from proxy in a few minutes. before you are two resolutions to approve the interim releases for these. the purpose, as i mentioned before, is to activate these parcels and bring a small revenue stream to the city for several years while we wait for the real-estate market to come back and permanent above and to occur. the proposed lease for parcel k has an initial base rate of $5,000 per month with a three- year term. for parcel l, that would commence on october 1, 2010, with a base rent that is less. we are offering rent abatement for the first two months of the lease term to help cover permitting and titling fees, and this is consistent with current transactions we are seeing today. in conclusion, i would just like to note that we believe this proposal is a re

green, mr. scott, mr. hastings, and especially the committee staff who have worked countless hours a day and night over the span of almost two years devoted to this matter. whatever happens from this point forward, i believe it is incumbent on each of us to do our part individually and collectively to take a measured step forward in the direction of helping to restore the trust that the american people have placed in us in this the people's house where we are all privileged to serve. thank you very much. >> thank you very much, mr. bonner. and mr. greene. as i noted at the outset, this is an organizational meeting of the subcommittee. the respondent is not here and is not required to attend this session this meeting is not a forum for parties to make their case. represent rangel has submitted a written statementth. we have received the statement of alleged violations and various motions filed by the respondent's an investigative subcommittee responding to those motions. mr. rangel has submitted a written s
