it's a delight to be back here or at hyde park. i spent two years researching the biography because there are a considerable amount of oss records in the archives and robert clark who was a chief arcivist, i made his life miserable for two weeks bugging him with questions and then he made the mistake of giving me his e-mail address and for the next two years i hit him with question after question. i want to tell you about general "wild bill "candida" donovan. he was roosevelt's top spymaster. he a former, went into the administration and a republican wall street lawyer, a hero in world war i. he had been awarded the congressional medal of honor in that war and he was a national celebrity when he joined the administration. his relationship with roosevelt was actually very complicated which wasn't unusual. roosevelt's relationship with most of his aides and cabinet officers proved to be complicated. donovan and roosevelt went to columbia law school together and he and donovan said that was a bunch of baloney. roosevelt was from much

commissioner hyde: second. i take that back. you are saying stay open until 4:00 and clothes from 4:00 to 6:00? vice chair joseph: do we have a motion and a second? >> is that with all the conditions of the previous motion? commissioner hyde: i was assuming. vice chair joseph: do not assume. commissioner cavellini: i will accept the friendly amendment. vice chair joseph: and with the conditions of the police and supervisor mar, is what you said, and the friendly amendment of cleaning 50 feet. the motion on the floor isto grant an after-hours permit until 4:00 a.m., accepting our good neighbor policy, police conditions, the supervisor conditions, and to sweep the area within 50 feet. commissioner perez: no. commissioner lee: aye. commissioner cavellini: aye. vice chair joseph: aye. motion passes. next item on the agea. please leave quietly, folks. i appreciate that. steve foster, doing business as lucky strike, 200 king street. nicklaus, you are up. >> lucky strike is a bowling alley and place for parties with burgers and games.

commissioner hyde: here. commissioner joseph: here. commissioner tan i believe is on his way. >> item one is discussion and possible action to send recommendation to the planning commission and the board of supervisors regarding entertainment and community planning. before i call on commissioner hyde to address us, i want to make a couple of points. neither myself nor this commission is discrediting the process of the plan. we respect the process, we just know that it isn't finished yet. we feel like it is fair to keep on talking about it. things have been referred to as an entertainment zone. we find that language to be inflammatory. it serves no purpose and is not factual. our input, by the way, is simply recommendations. it is for those bodies that actually make the final decision. no decision made here today reflects the plan, it is just our recommendation to them. land use is a very long-term decision. when you make a land use decision, it goes out into the future. it requires as much discussion as possible. we are taking it serio

the rally's goal was to take back hyde street from violence. speakers identified themselves as standing with the "occupy" movement on the aim of economic justice, but only in nonviolent ways. >> let us reach our goal and let us reach the mission of our goal, financial equity in policies. but let us not do it that people in oakland people not live in poverty because they don't represent all of oakland. we're a kind people in oakland. >> the rally was held on the site of a shooting death this week on hyde street. speakers added people in oakland must know there's another way to handle differences. >> sacramento police want to know why the driver ignored railroad crossing gates and flashing lights before pulling into the path of an ongoing light rail train. three people died when the train plowed into the suv yesterday afternoon near sacramento city college a few miles south of the state capital. the dead include a 21-month-old boy. six train passengers needed to be treated for minor injuries. the driver's son is doubting eye witness whose say his

the project is located at the southwest corner of california and hyde streets and is occupied by a 30,000 square foot grocery store on the top level of a two- level parking garage. it has two-way access to both california and hyde streets with a ramp providing access between the parking levels and a loading area on the bottom left. property was developed in 1961, and the building is considered a stored resource because of the building's design and construction system. the project were to divide the existing retail space and to approximately 14,600 square foot grocery store and an 11,000- square-foot pharmacy store with about 4500 square feet of common area appear the project would reconfigure the parking arrangement to provide up to seven more parking spaces for a total of 86 and replace the existing ramp between the parking levels with an elevator. the cvs stores can operate 24 hours a day provided a pharmacist is on duty. not made a final decision regarding 24-hour operations and will make that decision after the store is open. project will enhance the upper target level to create a mor

hyde. he plays dr. jekyll and mr. hyde runs the ad campaign. he quotes verses from america the beautiful as if there is something to talk about. it's his way of connecting with the exceptionalism. his ads are kicking the hell out of newt gingrich. they are unbelievable. they are one after another. you can't turn out on entertainment tonight. the ads are running and paid for by restore our future which is a romney operation. >> he disingenuously repeatedly said i can't control what that super pack does. i would end up in jail if i did something like that. >> they must think the voters are stupid. what i think is going to happen is they are not stupid at all. they are like as smart as anybody out there and maybe smarter because they are used to this game that is going on here. i think that romney's number will not go up, but i believe negative ads work and it's for better or worse for the nation that will be the worst for him. >> chris, you got into an exchange with newt yourself. over those negative ads running against him. i want to play a bit

lar quong, appointed to that role by pamela hyde, the administrator of the substance abuse and mental health services administration, with the focus on working not only with issues of domestic violence but also working with the issues of the criminal justice system because, indeed, as i mentioned, it's not the abuse excuse, it is trying to break the cycle. we spend a lot of money reincarcerating individuals who have primary issues that have never dealt with, so especially in nonviolent situations. we wanted to break that cycle and, as dr. harris pointed out, we also want to create a workforce that has a stable appreciation of traumatic phenomenon so that, again, we don't blame the child, we don't blame the wife, we don't blame the spouse who is the victim of trauma. and the gains center also has some training programs as well as other initiatives, correct? yes, we have a number of programs that address trauma, and one can access that from our web site at wwww.samhsa.gov gains center. we have a national center on traumatic stress. we've got the activity that dr. gillece is engaged in,

hyde with the hashtag unhinged, using the word unhinged in talking about newt gingrich. there's an ad out from the romney campaign that sounds a lot like those superpac ads that the pro romney superpac put out weeks ago that. ad includes your interview with nancy pelosi talking about how she might have something on newt gingrich should he become the republican nominee. and i asked r.c. hammond, a spokesman for the newt gingrich campaign earlier today, what's with this very personal tone? why are you going after mitt romney and calling him dishonest? basically it goes back to this issue of the freddie mac contracts. and the fact that newt gingrich has really been on his heels all this week from the romney campaign, mitt romney has essentially called newt gingrich a lobbyist for freddie mac. and i got this from r.c. hammond. he said "how does a guy who owns goldman stock, a company directly responsible for foreclosures in florida, has freddie mac lobbyists as top advisers in his campaign, think he can fool the american people?" john, the gloves are off. and you know, the o
