you know it was amazing you know it was your favorite i guess hicks moment well i mean there's a lot i mean i always loved when he would go after marketing because that is not something you really see from a lot of comedians i mean or even you know it's people that speak in general in front of crowds and he would go you know he said marketers kill yourselves and he meant it to. like the deleuze of law you read that we take in one thousand to three thousand ads a day or or banners or whatever and he had the guts to speak out against that and say look what's is doing to our brains and whenever you go after marketers i was like yeah that was one great thing of going confluent after advertising you made a tribute to hex where you interviewed his brother i mean how was it to talk to someone in his family and so close to him yeah i did so i did a video yesterday for this twentieth anniversary but in it i featured some of my interview with his brother and steve hicks is a great guy who just wants to make it all about bill and it sounds like the family is just they really love how bills lege

>> thank you, director hicks for always thorough and really helpful reports. and this might be located in one of the reports but i just wanted and you might not and you might need to get back to me but one thing that i noted is the cases that were sustained in 2013 i have 15 in the calendar year 2013 that does not mean that the investigation came to some conclusion where a case could be sustained. and so my question is does it list out somewhere what those charges were sustained for within 2013? >> commissioner loftus, i'm not sure that i understood your question you asked. you said that there were, no there were, oh, in 20, no, there were 43 cases that were sustained in 2013, 15 were from cases filed in 2013. and 28 were from cases filed if 2012, and at a total of 43 sustained in the calendar year, 2014, including that. >> yeah. >> so of those 43, thank you for that clarification, do we have a list of what they were sustained for? so that we can have a sense of neglective duty or accessive force in terms of the policy implications of that and what we can lear

pretty dangerous situation but that man was pulled to safety by officer hicks. >> it was really quick thinking about the officers to take them to a completely different area, because you're right, maybe that pole could have fallen on them. you never know. >> several people were hurt, but everyone was rescued. here's another video of the fire. you could see how quickly this car took off into complete and total flames. if it wasn't for first responders and passersby the people could have been seriously hurt. >> move back! >>> i guarantee you've never seen a gymnastics move quite like this one ever before. >> no. >> uh-huh. >> yeah, that's a little piglet. it was born without its hind legs, its owner thought it's not going to survive, but as the weeks went by, they realized it figured out how to walk on just its two front legs and even balancing itself on its nose. >> it's, like, a nose stand, a handstand and a nose stand. >> a pig stand. that's pretty incredible. >> people are completely amazed at this little guy's ability to just keep going. >> talk about adapting to your circumstances

first i would like to say to the committee regarding executive director hicks, i believe that everything that i have seen and experienced, again, in dealing with her, showed her to be a very intelligent, highly professional extremely competent individual and so for me to say something which was intended to disparage her is not something that i would do. it would be counter productive and it would make me feel like a fool and it is something that she did not deserve. and in fact, i think the character assassination that was attempted at that meeting was done by the accusation that my quote from shakespeare was intended to do that. it was not. i was very, very careful, both orally and in writing, to indicate that i was talking directly about the report that was being considered that night. now the only person on this panel that seemed to get that, was commissioner turm an who basically said, i'm not sure about the comment, but mr. hartz has a point. one of the things that i have learned in dealing with a lot of city commissions is that someone's right to speak will be violated and everyone

or should we move into the director hicks? >> call the next line item. >> i have one question for the chief. >> on the 192 the vehicular manslaughter was that a misdemeanor or a felony? >> i believe that the officers at the scene conducted with the da and charged its a misdemeanor but admissions made after the fact may result in an elevation of that charge. >> thank you. >> 4 b, occ director's report and discussion and review of recent activities present of occ summary of cases received december 13, monthly comprehensive statistical reports and companion reports for the periods january 1 through december 31, 2013 and, january, 1, through december 31, 2013, medation of complaints in december of 2013 and adjudication of the complaint in december 26013. the presentation of occ 2013 first amendment compliance audit of the san francisco police department records purchase su ant to the department general order, 8.10. and occ budget presentation for fiscal years, 14/15, and 15/16. >> thank you, and director hicks welcome back. >> tha

we know the state department -- and poor greg hicks. he's the one guy who has been basically demoted to a desk job. everyone else is promoted. susan rice gets a promotion. where is the accountability? this is america? >> president obama has historically gotten by with things. he's very persuasive. i understand that. i guess he thought if he said it and sent her to the sunday shows and make that statement, people would believe it. and it's just -- again, all of the evidence is there. i don't think that anyone doubts now that they knew it was an organized terrorist attack. it's the motive, the motive i think was clearly political. >> senator, last question. you've been in washington for a long time and i was a prosecutor, a judge, d.a., all of that. you know, truth and justice is important to all of us. how do you get through in that town when you see these fantasies and these scripts that have nothing to do with reality? senate intelligence committee, a bipartisan committee. how do you get through this? >> well, you have to sort it out.

one of the things, and general hicks, you addressed this as well. a problem we had in afghanistan and iraq is we focus almost all of our special forces securities. in the past, where we had a special focus group focus on south america. the first is pacific, we developed area familiarization. back toto start getting learning about religion, politics, and culture in those areas. of the army in the future being able to develop that same kind of capability? and general, where do you see us getting back to that? >> right over to mark. >> thank you. it is wonderful to have you all here today. a quick comment and a question. thisrmy learned about after the second world war. the army and air force spent a lot of time, especially with the creation of special warfare committees, looking at the idea of warfare. as you take a look at history and lessons learned, do not forget to look back at the time when the army and the air force specifically looked to tailor connecticut effects, organizations, operas it -- operations, to have specific psychological impact at

. >> thank you very much, are there any questions for director hicks? hearing none, please call line item 4c. city clerk: commission reports, commission president's report, commissioners report. >> i got to attend the former police officers current agencies were present and the president of chief of police and salas slit oh -- it's a good working group where they talk about issues everything related to terrorism issues to quality of life issues. it's a great honor to represent the commission. we are told about what we do and what a group of individuals with different backgrounds when we come together and we are involved in policy and procedure and how things evolve in that area. it a great time to meet folks. i think they are pretty interested. it's a great time to brag. i shared with them, the topic was politics and policing in san francisco. i made it very clear to them that we have a very supportive mayor and board of supervisors because we are hiring officers and this city figured out that you have to put officers on the street in order to keep this

so morrell is hearing from the station chief and from hicks that there was no demonstration.hen he gets the memo saying there was no demonstration. and yet he's the one who insurts the demonstration into the talking points. and he's the one who removes the word al qaeda from the taking points. and when obama talks about this as if he didn't know, i think he simply is continuing a successful stonewall. the idea with the stonewall until election day. the mainstream media had no interest in this. there's a huge cast of characters, a complicated event, and no one is talking about it. he has succeeded now. he talks around it. he talks in a way that is not answering the question. did he know it was a terror attack? he obviously knew because he met the afternoon of that day with general ham who said he knew with the secretary of defense, who had just spoken with general ham on commander in africa, who said he knew within 15 minutes it was a terror attack. he knew. he prendz he doesn't, and he has succeeded in getting the program he should as a result of that. >> what did you make of

. >> good evening, commissioners welcome back director hicks. concerned public. i am going to keep my report relatively brief because we have the two presentations tonight but very quickly, the tip line, again, every week miss brown does come and it does not go any easier week to week. we feel your pain, you put it out there about as real as it can happen. so if anybody has any information the names that miss brown show are suspects are people that are attributed to this crime, however we don't have a witness that would come forward. if anyone does have information, 757-4444, and no homicide is ever closed. we update miss brown as we can, unfortunately we have not had a lot of updates as of late. one of the other speakers spoke to two event that have happened in the police department and i have spoken and it is unfortunate when clyde talks about the guard and he leaves before i ever hears me respond to what happens and so i will save my comments there, but that case is at the occ. and if the officers were found to be outside of being appropriate, i will take the

line between art and commercialism becomes more blurred every day and perhaps it was the great bill hickswho said it best he said you do a commercial you're off the artistic roll car for ever your corporate f. ing shilly or another horror at the capitalist gang bang and if you do a commercial there's a price on your head every thing you say is suspect harsh words but he's right being famous carries the weight of great influence and responsibility so i guess the real question is whether or not and dorfman deals worth the cost of becoming just another celebrity sellout. for the first time since nine hundred seventy three the abortion rate in the u.s. has hit a record low according to a report published this week by the guttmacher institute there were less than seven thousand abortions for every one thousand women in america in two thousand and eleven while the paper presents the raw data the question remains over what factors have contributed to the decline reports also timely as more states are passing laws aimed at making abortion access more difficult and while the debate over abortion r
