i was ashamed i was ashamed that i had been wounded i was ashamed that i hadn't been a hero. i never understood that my problems with my parents my problems with my wife my ex-wife were buried in the fact that i had gotten blown up i never i never understood it repressed it totally and then i began to go to a coffee shop and i would hear the big bands of night two hundred forty five and i would weep like a baby in public i had no idea that what i was doing i could reply to was going back and try to find that the little boy of my teeth and what happened. the fall of eighty four i was driven to go back to fly to look some birds to spend the night there to rent a car and file and find the place where i was wounded on september seventh one thousand and forty four. and then suddenly. i found the bridge that we crossed it had been blown when i'd been shot. i discovered to the hour at the moment where i had been wounded forty years before and i cannot explain it but that discovery began my healing. my generation really repressed with the war was about we didn't want to talk about it

and i was i fell madly in love with language. i think that's why i'm probably conscious with the writing process because i began with the foundation of language, which is poetry for me. it made me aware of how to use language. not to over use language. you know things like that that aspects of it. i talk a lot about the writing process for a lot of reasons because i think that if you tell what it really means to be a writer people will think oh , it's not -- i think to a large extent you all think we run with the bulls. you know and you think we are sitting in cafes and i can never write in a cafe because i would watch people too much. how can you sit in a cafe and write a novel? we all have our process. i think the interesting things to talk about is the process how you do it because we all do it differently. i don't run with the bulls or sit in cafes. this is the way i do it. there are many ways to do it and you have to find your own way. >> around the web i googled through me to see what it looked like i saw the big bridge and

i didn't hear that. >> i understand the concern. i think that it's easier to identify effects onpecific industries than it is to find effects of the currency policy on the economy as a whole or unemployment as a whole because there's not much relationship between ou unemployment rate and our current account deficit. take an obvious example, unemployment has soared and the deficit has gone down. but i do understand the concern. all i can really say is that it would be to take some of the steps that have been suggested would be quite severe steps and would cause considerable concern about our overall relationship with china and other countries and about our training policies. again, i understand the concern. but i would just reiterate first that this is a complex problem and that it's not just the currency that's involved. the chinese are also involved in trying to come more reliant on domestic demand. first of all. secondly, i would note that united states has got a vibrant bilateral relationship in terms of our dialogue, for example

point, senior citizens -- i must ask -- i think i came before you before in stated since i have, my light bill went from $200 down to less than $4 and month. how about that? so i am for everyone getting solar on their home, especially the seniors on fixed income like myself. i think leah has done an excellent job, and i have not seen anyone on these commissions -- main reason i came is because i have not seen anyone from baby-hunters point being appointed to a commission that is so important, and i knew she would be an excellent asset to you, not only to lafco, but also to all of san francisco because she is a well-rounded young lady. at that here was a young woman. we are trying to push our young people to come forward and be participants in the politics that go on here in san francisco. thank you very much. commissioner mirkarimi: thank you, ms. jackson. any other public comment, please,. >> thank you, commissioners. i'm here in support of ms. pimentel and the work she has done. i think she would be a valuable asset. not in one of the seats, perhaps as an alternate. several months

>> i would. i would. i don't know if have i the energy for it.god, it's about four hours -- >> larry: would you like to try theater again? >> absolutely. i would. >> larry: someone could lure you to broadway with the right script? >> yeah. >> larry: you couldn't make as much. >> i know. but it's the most fun you can have standing up. >> larry: touching other bases. when did you -- you never had a big accent, did you? but you had an accent. i remember you. >> well, it changes all the time. >> larry: australian or what? >> i was born here, and i went down there. and i started -- >> larry: you were there what years of your life? >> oh, from the age of 13 through until my early, mid-20s. and then back and forth all the time. >> larry: you picked up some of it certainly. >> absolutely. you had to survive. and some just gets in your head, the rhythms and the way of expressing yourself, because, you know, one wants to communicate with the locals. and one -- in fact, i counted myself very much one of them. >> larry: you were called an australian actor, w

i mean, i wouldn't give the job, and if he had said -- once he said i was convicted of murder, dog, ihaking his hand. all i could do was say god bless him. i agree with everyone. the severity and nature of offense. if you -- you know, if god help you, if you kill someone in a fit of rage and you don't really mean to and it's second degree murder, you may deserve a second chance. if you go in and, i'm sorry, ma'am, about your family, like the mansons who should have been executed and do horrendous murder crimes like that, they should put an end to your life right there. there's no rehabilitation. but we as a society need to work out. a lot of these people also, they got caught. there's a lot of guys that do it and don't get caught. so everybody, you know, has been in trouble and are good people. they just didn't get caught. we as a society need to help get these people back into society. >> larry: are female prisoners different coming back than males? >> i think there's a tendency for female prisoners to be, generally speaking, less violent. so if they're going to commit crimes again,

. >> when they ask me where i live, i say that i am mostly on the earth do we a newscast or i am traveling all around the world. my family lives in mexico city. i have very good friends all over the united states. my daughter is in paris. another daughter is in los angeles. i do not have a home. maybe my home, my only home, was where i was born in mexico city, and it is the house that i lived in for almost 20 years, and i can remember the address and phone number, and that is the only time in my life when i have felt at home, and now, in the united states, this country has given me opportunities that my country could not give me, but, still, i have the sense of i am an immigrant, and i feel like an immigrant 27 years after getting to the united states. i still feel like i am an immigrant. there is no home for me anymore. >> why did you become a citizen? >> it was important for me to participate fully in this country. it is a wonderful country. this country would treat other immigrants like me, and the millions of immigrants who came up to me, it is truly amazing, and i was born the year "a

i have taken the 38 for years and years. i love what i read from the feasibility study. it is just a great plan. i want to see it happen and i want to participate in it. supervisor campos: thank you. next, please. >> good morning. mike bishop. i recently moved from the inner richmond. i have been using the 38 for the past five years. i commute downtown with it. also am a bicyclist, and c have aar, and -- i have a car, and i represent a lot of stakeholders to have interest in this. basically, i am very enthusiastic in joining the committee. i understand three members left for whatever reason. i think i could be very dedicated and ceded to the end. i appreciate your consideration. supervisor campos: thank you. next, please. >> robert van ravensway. i am a resident of the richmond. the reason i am applying for this, i am an attorney and i have spent the last several years working on issues for a large developer. as i see what this committee is supposed to do in the near term, it is basically working on these issues. i feel i can contribute quite a bit because of my experien

i move briefly to 30 edith when i first came here because i had no place to stay. i bought in the neighborhood on lombard street. anytime anybody moves to improve their home also improves the neighborhood. i think they have tried very hard to make this fit into the neighborhood. you cannot please everybody all of the time. you do the best that you can. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am here as a friend. i think the monster in the closet -- there are people are brown heard that have added to her buildings. they cannot add to the building. they have demonize this woman. she is a three-time cancer survivor. this has been a difficult struggle for her and her family. it has been my experience in the 25 years of appearing before the commission that you tend to believe the hard work that the department does. the department is recommending approval of this project and not taking on the discretionary review. in addition to granting on about property rights propertyranting -- ranting on about property rights, i am here in support of the project. >> good evening. i am ju

guest: well, i think that's devastating. i do. i'm glad that admiral mullen just went there to talk about this. i was recently at a conference. there was a major u.s. industrialist there who said, gee, i really want to build a hotel in baghdad, and i'm going to do it as soon as there's a government. i mean, iq's failure to close on that election is preventing good things from happening. but here's the point. we had a drastically flawed strategy in iraq. everybody understands that, i feel very strongly about it, and we had a massive intelligence failure, which led to the actions that were taken in the first place. but putting that aside or moving on from that, finally there's an election and no conclusion. and this shows how hard it is to transfer a country to its own governance, even when counterintelligence succeeds. this is why i'm so skeptical of the strategy in afghanistan. if it doesn't work or isn't working yet in iq, how is it going to work in afghanistan where the government pblems are even bigger? host: added to that is a

supervisor campos: i do have some technical amendments i would like to make, and i think it would be important to make this prior to the motion. i have copies for the rest of my colleagues, so i would make a motion to make the technical amendments that were outlined in the revised copy you half, -- you have, and i want to take the time to thank julie, let's put a lot of time in this amendment. colleagues, i would make a motion to make the amendments outlined in the document. >> i would like to second it. >> allr

i missed my own election. i voted absentee. but i understood we lost. president obama won and i've got a lot of opportunity to disagree with him. but the constitution in my view puts a requirement on me as a senator to not replace my judgment for his, not to think of the 100 reasons i would pick somebody differently or pick a fight with miss kagan. it puts upon me a standard that stood the test of time, is the person qualified? is it a person of good character? are they someone that understands the difference between being a judge and a politician? and quite frankly i think she's passed all those tests. to say that the job of being a senator is a rubber stamp is not true. mr. lment u, i will not vote for. mr. haines, me and senator specter gave haines a hard time because i didn't think he understood the difference between politics and the law. there will be a time when i disagree but it should be the exception not the rule. so in conclusion, we are making history, all of us, because by your very time here, you're getting to do something unique and speci

and i had an experience when i was going through the planning commission -- >> i had an experience when i was going through the planning commission. i think they were more open before. there is more bureaucracy. that is why -- how i discovered that this alteration of the building was not an alteration a de facto demolition, so i went to the planning department, and the plans were available to me, but when i complained after winning, was that i still wanted to have a plan of demolition, but they did not allow me to save for the plan, although i was a tenant that was effected with the demolition, so i would like to request action to make it more accessible so that the tenants or whoever is involved has to be given a copy. it has to be a full sized plan. >> thank you. any further public comments? seeing none. >> so move to continue, or maybe, procedurally, what do we do if we want to continue? >> if you want to continue it, you can continue to the call of the chair, so it can be put on the [inaudible] bic hearing. your other options are to recommend approval or recommend rejection. i remin

i have learned a lot and i think for me, this is probably one of the most difficult decisions i have had to make simply because of the magnitude and complexity of all of the issues that have been involved. in the end, with something as controversial and difficult, there will be people who will be happy or unhappy with whatever choice you make but i am trying to make the best choice that i can. i am satisfied that even though there are issues that this -- that remain, other amendments have been made. >> the one to make sure that we don't lose sight of the many benefits that come through with this project. these are unrealized into housing or details. we are looking at 10,000 jobs that are coming from the additional organizations and businesses supported. i want to make sure that we don't lose sight of that in terms of the housing assistance in terms of the community benefits. i think this is a positive project for san francisco. >> thank you, colleagues. this has been a several year project for you. hats off to what you have been able to accomplish. [applause] we know that there has b

i tried and failed but i get it. i get that we need the governmeet -- the government needs to do this better. i hear this all the time. we need to engage with the business roundtable and ceos to understand what is their view of how we can do this more effectively. >> the following i have is, as you mentioned earlier, the c onsistent attacks. the overnment kkows there is 140 country stealing technology. the obama administration issued their report ssying that over $1 trillion conservatively was stolen from the economy from intellectual property in 2008 alone. when i broke this question to the director of national intelligence, he said it is somewhere between stopping global hunger and world peace in trying to fix this problem. how do we get the resources of the government focused on understanding that?? we're one of the few elements in the domestic, developed world that does not have an industrial policy. you cannot build five business all the time. you have to have business to support the long-term growth of the coun

when i was in -- i don't know if i told this story. i was in the fifth grade i blew two fingers off with an m-80. luckily i was born with 12. five on one, seven on the other. it got me down to even. but if you're planning to use fireworks this year, it's important to check local laws to figure out how you can get around them and do fireworks anyway. fireworks are dangerous. no question about that. and every year around this time, someone, i'm not exactly sure who does this, but someone provides tv news broadcasts with video showing how incredibly unsafe it is for mannequins to use fireworks. >> you can see some of the dangers they're trying to characterize here, some of the national council fireworks safety's best tips, never use home-made fireworks, only use fireworks outdoors, and if you are drinking, make sure you have a designated shooter. every year, we see these -- and there's a message of safety here, certainly. >> you know, i wait from february until now to get this video in. >> every year. >> i love it. i love holding the fire

i was having my guy taken away from me, and i had just one. so we are excited for the people we can get. these are different things, even though we are talking about the same topic. very different pieces of legislation. this is an example of voters saying, wait a minute, why did that come to the ballot? why didn't they just pass it at the board? it could be passed at the board, and i am saying that as part of a different side than my extreme colleague. so i applaud supervisor mirkarimi's efforts and do not think there is a person on the body who would not support a robust police foot patrol program. supervisor campos: thank you, supervisor alioto-pier. supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: it is important to provide a little bit of reference. i was the one who instigated a lot of what supervisor alioto- pier was talking about. this was a highly-charged period of time when i made it clear i wasn't going to accept the level of violence in the jurisdiction of northern station, and supervisor alioto-pier is right that we had the honor of sha

the other two items, i see the rationale behind that. >> i also have a concern that i want to express about these items. i wanted to express a comment about the homeless facility. i am going to be voting to keep this program. i made clear to the mayor's office that there are homeless centers are around the city that should not be defunded as a new facility is being funded. these offer surfaced to -- services to particular populations that would not be a well served by general facilities. that is the conversation that i have had with the mayor's office. >> madame clerk. roll call. >> supervisor campos. >> no. >> no. >> no. supervisor daily. >> i -- aye. >> no. >> no. >> maxwell, no. mirkarimi, aye. supervisor avalos. avalos, no. there are two ayes and nine nos. supervisor chiu seconded by supervisor mirkarimi made a motion to put on reserve $44 million as well as the $6.8 million regarding i.t. expenditures. >> can we do that without objection? without objection. so moved. supervisor daily. >> on the sources on the technical adjustment no. 5, just to confirm the health department reven

well i think i mean i agree fundamentally with princeton i do think that. this is an indictment of a certain economic model and it's not going to change immediately think we're going to see change gradually and i mean the one problem in our prison. global economy it's very difficult for countries to just do it on their own so i think there's going to have to be some sort of global consensus what we may see is the countries you're speaking about may have much more see what their global consensus is but i don't think that it necessarily is going to change thoughts about the need for accountable governance and law because that's one of the only ways you're going to be able to get forward that's maybe. you're nodding your head there do you what do you think is this an example of my it's kind of a strong word maybe hypocrisy again you know the west had certain rules and regulations we look at the i.m.f. we look at the world bank and then they look at these countries like china that while a nominally communist country bailed out capitalism over the last twenty on

but i do not know -- i was curious. there was an article in the "examiner" about the revelations about all these police officers with criminal history, misconduct. one of the quotation from the prosecutor was, after they talk about how all this stuff was, "i do not want felons released because we have not done our job right." what they do not say in the entire article, which is a front-page piece, is not only is it a violation of the rules, but when you have people testify who may be shouldb innocent people can be convicted, and it happens every day. and there is not one word of that in the article. >> carol, do you agree or disagree that public defenders contribute to this negative image? should be accept some responsibility here? >> i think a causality of the media disconnect -- it is obviously there. the media is not show him what i see and do in my everyday life. but rathe saying i think it is the media's fault, the media thinks it is our fault for notg them, i think we all need to do a better job. her book shows th

when i was pregnant with her my biggest worry was where will i put her when i have to work, because io are to -- have to work. luckily she got into children's village. then i had my second son. he's there now. he's currently 3 years old. when i first heard there was a chance that children's village would close, i put him on several waiting lists. now fast forward, i still haven't made it to the top of any of those places. one place i'm 164 on the list when i called two months ago. so the fact is, there really is nowhere to put our children right now that is any kind of environment that's safe and secure except for possibly, i did get offered a spot in south san francisco. i think it is a tragedy. i am a devoted san franciscoian -- san franciscoan. i want to stay here. i think this is another situation that forces families out of the city. if we are really family oriented , we need to push this through. thank you for your time. chair maxwell: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is gabriel. i work for catholic charities. we are a separate agency from the archdiocese. on behalf o

that is what i did in washington and that is what i will do again. >> i have to say, again. the democrats may want to increase our taxes and not extend the tax cuts. we need to extend of those tax cuts. americans do not need a tax increase at this time. the small business people in arizona are hurting badly. we need to cut the corporate tax. we need to cut the payroll tax. we need to cut taxes for the american people and get america growing again. the this administration is governing from the left and we have to move it back to the center and to the right. >> thank you, senator. our next question is for mr. hayworth. you said that the federal government has taken the long -- the wrong approach to saving businesses and jobs. what would you have done differently and where would you go from here? >> let's take a look at where we are right now. stimulus plan passed by the obama administration, less than half of that money has been spent. it should be stopped by now and the rest of those funds should be administered to debt relief. my opponent was for tarp and said that he was mi

i know some folks prefer tax increases. i do not. i think they should be on the table in the absence of an alternative. i think it is sometimes dangerous to support tax increases that will reduce revenue in the meantime and not resolve problems we fundamentally need to resolve. by being creative and focusing on leveraging and looking differently at the revenue sources. $345 million in capital is invested in this budget. we are investing close to a historic amount in repaving our streets. this is a big deal. supervisor mar and supervisor maxwell, $50 million. francia's for your hard work. we support this budget, and 150 will be maintained. we invest in new balboa park saw improvement. we invest in the veterans building and the work that needs to be done, and we are going to build on 10 key public spaces. the water system improvement program is happening. transkei terminal is taking shape, and we're about to tear down the ugly of facility and begin the grand central station. the new terminal at the airport will finally be done. we have

i urge a tight discretionary review of the project. >> i am amanda lee and i represent the property across the street from the project. i feel like this is too much. it casts a shower over the -- a shadow over the alley. there is no sunlight if that happens. i feel like it just causes dangers and stuff. i feel like there would not be an authority. thank you. >> hello. i am jeremy. i am partial property owner of the building between lombard, 441443. although i do not oppose the entire project, i oppose a fourth floor that maximizes the wicked and the length of the lot. -- width and the length of the lot. it would make it completely dart and make the area -- dark and make the area harder to rent out. >> rose marie. >> good evening, vice president and commissioners. my name is milligan. for 50 years i lived on the the street. i currently occupy an office at union and columbus. discretionary view process is long and difficult road. there are reasons, exceptional and extraordinary to unjustified this process application. this is a reiteration that i tried to simplify. the exceptional because th

a man i am fighting and when i talk about. women i'm not talking about the government you have to listen to me. i ask you to create this great network from. the united sates to syria to france to to save all of this were to change the vision of the of the misnamed women we can be emancipated we have the right and if you defend the need you defend the segregation of our population in europe of course not you are different because women are like you where you know it'll be fewer you know you never be if you wear the new cab you never be at the head of for england you never be president of france. or england that is the real fight today is a month of women emancipation of population and all of this just to make us more of go forward and i fight against this ok maryam i want to marry you i'm going to do. is i want to say something about choice if you have if your home is convinced that the only barrier between women in the car and becoming the head of the stay in the u k. is the face very well she needs a reality check the reality

i will ask you to repeat after me and what i will do, i will say i, then i will ask you to state your name. then when we come to the end i will during such time as i hold the position and you will each mention the appropriate body that you are being appointed to. so, beyond that there are only two things you have to do. the rest i do and just repeat after me. raise your right hand and i say i. you say your name and we will get through this in one brief moment. >> i.

that is what i heard i am sorry. it is going on forever. >> i think we should clarify the motion >> let's clarify the motion. >> the motion is the building should be no higher than 33 feet with -- the commission does not grant it. with the recommendation that it would be possible to gain some additional square footage for the building. >> i agree with that being the only parameter. if project sponsor feels fit into 33 feet and four floors, that is up to them. it is probably not possible. it is little -- >> i think it is unfortunate it is going away. i am supportive of the motion completely, and if you look at some of them, it is easier to understand why people are so concerned about these issues, because we saw a lot of areas go from blue-collar working middle- class neighborhoods to neighborhoods that were impossible for the average san franciscan to afford. >> it does not exceed 33 feet in height. it does not mention floor. we recommend the possibilities of a variance to allow some additional square footage to the

i put my current address on the appeal notice, so i do not know whawhy i am not receiving the m. i spoke to another woman and she faxed over the documents for today's hearing. july 15, the owner of 228 day street brought by a postcard. july 18, i finally received another letter in the mail. i have already filed a complaint with the u.s. post office. i have been told to go to nancy pelosi's address. i put in a change of address july 5. i should have gotten this in the mail. i do not know what else to say about that. in regard to the timeline, i do not disagree with that, but the work has been completed. i do not think there is any question about the permit. >> thank you. any questions? >> so you are not contesting that you did the work, since 2002. i appreciate -- >> in 2002, it was my issue because we thought that we were correct. in 2004, we found out that was not the case. >> our department has been putting in a lot of work. >> my question is how much of that -- the way i understood what was said earlier this that all of this was put into getting this hearing. if there is a par

i think when i grew up. i did think it was a perfect world.t realizing human, 6 billion of us, about to become 12 billion, there is a lot of bad things going on. a lot of mistreatment in animals. unfortunately we are heading towards a pretty scary situation with the population exploding and, we need to conserve every wild animal we have. and that's why it is so important, the sea shepherd is out there enforcing international conversation law. the u.n. should be doing it. navy should be doing. federal governments should be doing it. they're not doing it. and so we are doing it. we're doing an extremely effective job for such a small organization. >> larry: what does bob think about sea shepherd's tactics especially with his name on the side of their ship? find out after the break. [ male announcer ] everyone deserves a car they can count on. a car that keeps going, when others might quit. a car that stands strong... when you need it most. and expects to handle the unexpected. at chevrolet, we created a team of red x engineers who are obsessed w

i said, i guess so, mom. no way, no how will the republicans get their way, either privatizing social security or cutting it to pay for the war. that's not going to happen. the democrats are been for social security since 75 years ago when it was first established and we remain strong to that commitment. it is there. it is the fundamental opportunity for retirees to have a foundation. no privatization and no cutting of social security despite what the republican leader might say. i yield back my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? >> to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. hensarling: mr. speaker, under this administration and this congress we have now seen the largest deficits in history, the largest national debt in history, the failed stimulus plan, the health care takeover, cap and energy tax, a permanent wall street bailout, all of which has led to the loss of million

i think that is indeed the case, that will probably address the concerns that i have that i think a number of my colleagues would have. i would love to see that language. >> excuse me, could you hand this to the supervisor? oh, i'm sorry. supervisor maxwell: do you want to look over it? supervisor chiu: yes, let's take public comment, and i may have questions afterward. >> there are two sections that would be applicable. section 11.21, which would be on page 29 of the agreement, and the applicable law section is section 11.8, which is on page 26 of the agreement. supervisor chiu: thank you. supervisor maxwell: i don't think there are any questions for you at this time, unless you had something you wanted to add. >> yes, i would like to add something. this proposal is a win-win situation for the citizens of san francisco, moma, san francisco fire department. currently, station one is located third and howard streets. it was built approximately in the 1950's. it was originally supposed to be a temporary location for the station until the location on jesse alley was renovated, but that never

i mean, i couldn't do it. i totally understand. i mean, if...ting on the hill, i don't think i'd want to hang out with you afterward while you're shining your medal or something. that would be a bummer. >> simon: shaun white may be as fierce a competitor as there is... >> switchback 900! >> into two 1080s! >> simon: ...but you'd never know it by looking at him. what you'd see is a kid full of spunk and grace, enjoying the ride-- in the snow, and up in the air, soaring above it all. >> shaun white: there's just this amazing moment where you're not going up anymore, but you're not coming down. it's just like this floating. and i... i've gotten comfortable enough to be able to look around. and it's... it's like flying. you're just flying. yeah, it's just the best feeling. >> simon: it's the world according to shaun. >> shaun white: it's not bad. i come down once in a while. i try to stay up. >> welcome to the cbs sports update. >> soccer's ultimate prize goes to spain beating the netherlands 1-nil in the world cup finals. scoring in the closing min

i would i would love no money from it because i'm sorry i said. go ahead go ahead just move i am the first one to think it's. ok if i can just make my point i was going to say what's very interesting i think in what we've just heard is that there are two separate points here there is a discussion internally within the muslim community about the fact that there are people who would hate to if you like what's been described on this program as a sellafield wahhabi saudi inspired outlook within islam and this is a trend and within the muslim community it is true that many people the mainstream view this is quite a threatening trend a trend quite an intolerant trend and i do think it's vital that within the muslim community itself we have this question we have this dialogue about whether this particular perspective is the most authentic whether it is the most representative of the tradition and of islam in general but separate to that and it's very important that all voices within that internal dialogue are not instrumental lies by the xenophobia tende

i don't think i would go to work for more one races i don't because that. is of course we should have one because it's a very. even though it's not cheap to have a race track countries wealthy enough to have one. i think there are plenty of other problems in our country besides the lack of a formula one tranche. i don't think we should have a formula one track because i think it is something only for rich people they can afford to travel abroad for these types of events and so there is no need for a track in our country does not yes we should have one because it's very interesting i would definitely go to watch it well that's what people think now do formula one drivers think that russian formula one truck. driver say one of the guys the guys that you really mix with when where when you drive do what do they think about the perspective to come driving to moscow i think the reaction inside inside the circuit but i think. for example i want some sort of you know to understand to. try something else i think. so if. you're a beginner in formula one so so so hav

i believe in the mission. i believe -- i am a true believer. i think those images influence children. we have one here in the front row. some to serve as prosecutors first and then become criminal defense attorneys, but many of us want to defend the constitution and those rights from the very beginning, from jump. i think we do not just me to believe it in our hearts, we need to profess it publicly. i do believe, though, that jerry is right. it is not enough to talk about it amongst ourselves. it is a larger public dialogue that needs to happen in terms of the resources, the jury pool, and that means talking to people who identify more with victims. we now there are one in 100 people behind bars. that means one in 100 people knows somebody connected to the criminal justice system. that is a tremendous opportunity for us. that means there are people in every sector of society who identify with our cause. that is when people start to understand the import of the public defender. i know very well not mind me saying this, but for the last 20 years,

i don't know if i misheard that along with the motion by professor -- professor? -- president peterson that she would accept also the imposition, the acceptance of an offer to pay the $1,425 fine. president peterson: in addition to the revocation? >> commissioner garcia: right. i don't think we put a time limit on the revocation. a year? i'm sorry, on the suspension. president peterson: that sounds fine. >> there is a regents case where there was a 60-day suspension. i found the facts were more eegregious. than the regents matter and that's why i went for full revocation. but the fine -- commissioner fung: but commissioners, you are mick -- mixing things up. what was brought forward was revocation. commissioner garcia: yeah, i meant suspension. commissioner fung: and they're talking about a fine in lieu of anything else. >> it's not necessary. so you're adding on to the revocation? commissioner garcia: right. the acceptance of an offer to pay a $1,425 fine bit appellant. commissioner goh: i think commissioner fung's point is that that is not an actual offer. it wa
