knowing what i i felt. i witnessed the fact that the new york times wanted me to wa m irite about my life.l nhe summer after that i was ono the panel at the democraticocrac national convention talking about the onyoualth vote. amazing. i was listened to.tened i don't think that young people -- i'm thinking of my on threeh adult children, have the same sense of being a part of the as cess. i know that i did. >> yes, mark.rk. >> i'm constantly kicking mysell because i missed the punk movement. af at the 7i actually think punk ii culturally probably more important than most of us in this room realized. i noticed that the young th anarchists kids relate to punk,p neil pont. that is thereil music.si and so i think, oh, man, i, missed something. i'd just about can maybe figure out jammed john masius sensibility, his movies. he is punt. so anyway, you know, i second os what mark the said aboutt m everybody thinkingar that --ing what's happening. other on the other hand, there was something special about those os u

so i said yeah mike i would do that. i knew who he was but i had never met him before, so i dutifully got in the car. we still have those big, long undertaking cars, you know those big long once? they look like they were from manmohan's funeral home. i picked up and dutifully went to the airport. we put the car on the tarmac and we did that at about 10 minutes later the key plane came in and it was a white thing with no numbers on it, typical cia. the plane landed and speaking about introductions, the gate came down and the steps came down and this guy had just had a skiing accident. was bill casey and he was on a crutch and he came down the stairs slowly. he got off the tarmac and he looked at me and he said, who were you? [laughter] and i said, and you are supposed to be the head of the cia. [laughter] so, another time in 1980, i was running for governor. was the only election iver los. i had a birthday party at my house. it was a fund-raiser and henry kissinger was in town. and so we made arrangements for him to come

i am dedicating to harold bloom. i am not a poet. i want to be rich. i have had a great sex life. i am not a poet. georgia i do not like being called an act visit. i cannot be considered a vegetarian. i will give my ass up and like it. i would be inspired. i may value peace, but will not use a pen to unleash my anger. i am not a poet. i am not dying. weight loss can still be a choice. i am not a poet. i don't care much for. i don't spend me weekends read anything writing. i like to have cocktails but i do not have a drinking problem regardless of what state i wake up in. i don't need drugs to open up my imagination. i am not a poet. i can tolerate half an hour of spoken word poetry. what my cats are up to. i always carry my business cards. i am not a poet, i only write to masture bait my mind. i am trying to convince myself that poetry it save lives. it's the dust of art. and i am going to close with to poet. americano. i look at myself in the mirror. trying to figure out what makes me an american. i see chickens. practicing religions without a roof. i see my own blood. proud amer

i know i am very aware of what i cannot do, but i don't worry about it.s i just focus on what i can. with gram, it was a very narrow pathway of starting out by singing harmony. first of all, you are focusing on the second melody that is falling someone else possibility, almost like dancing with somebody, although i am not a very good dancer. i never could do that. but i think it makes you focus more on the words and following somebody else. but almost your attention away from yourself, and you get into the music. and serving the song. this may be something i am making up, you know, because it seems to me now, after all this once i gotcertainly want this passion for country music and i discovered bill monroe and the incredible harmonies and the voice of george jones, which i should have discovered because my brother is a country music fan and would play those records, but all i wanted to hear was bob dylan. my ears were closed to that. but once i heard and that deep into singing those songs and listening to those songs, those great artists, i just somehow.

i love what i do. i mentally appreciate the support and have offered to the community. the issue is deeply personal to me. i also think it was very fitting that i was educated at the farm. west and partly of all, you'll be certain that i will do this job effectively because in the senses, i already am. and you have any questions? supervisor kim: i was a different part of the farm, apparently. i would like to open up for public comment. please let up. make clear in your opening statement if there is an advocate you're speaking in support our opposition of. it helps when compiling the meeting minutes. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i will try to be brief. i support stewart for this. asked you to appoint him not for his education are that he is articulate or long winded, but because he is persistent, which might be the most important asset he brings. >> i am a member of an advocate group, and i have seen stewart's work a lot. i cannot say enough good things about kathy and stephen the reality of life is that it is the number one cash crop. if we don't understand that, the

when i ran for city council here in l.a., i came out here to work for tom bradley, i thought i was going to be an elected official, i thought i would be barack obama back in the day. a senator from indiana, my home state, i wanted to go back to indiana and run for the u.s. senate. politics was my first love. when i ran for that city council seat in l.a. and lost, i thought, at 26, my life was over. i did not see the failure as a friend÷ then. now, imagine if i won that city council seat, i might still be filling potholes on sunset opposed to sitting here talking to larry king. >> can you therefore accept failure today or are you beyond it? tavis: lord no. you have to accept failure. the whole point of the book is that i believe you can fail up. i don't know anyone who hasn't failed their way to the top. i mentioned barack obama, our president, a moment ago. when barack obama ran for the united states senate and walked basically into the senate, people forget that a few years prior he got the brakes beat off of him by a guy named bobby rush who is still a congressman. >> but he had a ter

i didn't know what i was talking about. i liked jazz. and that seems to be what it takes to be a jazz critic. i call it a new form of white collar crime. so -- i mean, i was making stuff up. so i wrote for them. and then -- for the newspaper. and then i went to college and dropped out of the college and by the time a.j. smitherland was dead and the new editor was joe walker. a brilliant young kid. he turned out the paper. we wrote the whole thing and during that time i met malcolm x which was a life changing experience? >> host: why? >> guest: well, because we all -- we all -- i heard my parents, they all thought the way he thought but nobody -- nobody would you express it, you know? when my parents integrated the neighborhood and were taunted and called names and took abuse, they said they would shoot everybody, and my brothers would go out in the backyard and -- i mean, i'm the considered the patsy because i'm the only one in the family that doesn't own a gun. they started doing target practice in the back and that sort of ended it. pe

i mean, by the time i got to the east coast, i had a ph.d. in environmental studies, i had written on oil spills for my dissertation, exxon valdez happened. i was the only ph.d. writing on oil spills at that time in the united states. i was hired by the united states coast guard to help write the regulations for the country. and so there i am sitting in washington, dc 20 years later after seeing this oil spill, writing the regulations, the oil pollution regulations for the united states. i have to say that i believe that we all have that possiblity, that journey, inside ourselves, that if we do the things that our heart says to do, that we are going to make a difference and we are going to change the world. >> hinojosa: so is that the lesson? i mean, you said that when you first started walking, you wanted people to kind of start walking with you. >> yeah. >> hinojosa: so should we... you know, should... i took a vow of silence for about a day. it was a lot of fun. it was before i had kids. i've never stopped using transport. is that your message, "do like me"? >> well, there are a lo

i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i

oh man, i wonder if i can get back in because i bet i could do that. so i called my agent who was sort of my new agent and i'm sure an agent must hear that 50 times a day, get me back in, i think i know what to do now. if a now that the addition's over and i've lashed a little. he said do you know what i'll call daniel but don't worry bit, that's a feeling you'll have a lot or whatever. so i was so excited that i had made that adjustment that i kept working on it myself with this friend of line. lo and behold after two or three weeks they couldn't find anybody for that part so daniel said well do you think you'd like to come back in. and i had been working on it. i came back in and next day i saw trevor and i got it. >> charlie: trevor made the decision. >> he did. >> charlie: you played the same character. >> in a theatre in detroit i was living in chicago. i had an experience where i addition for the goodman theatre in chicago. i remember seeing it in new york and seeing billy and seeing that whole show and thinking in the intermission i was in the p

i could not believe what i heard. anyway, these are true instances. >> first of all, i would like to talk about the reporting procedures in san francisco. alone, i could come up with about 400 units that are infested. and we are a small company. we could come up with 400 units with bedbugs and we are a small company. i tested another company, when i was hearing the statistics. one of their technicians said that they could come up with another 500. in san francisco, we should ask pest control operators every time an infestation is found, to report it. and have one of the two entities keep track of how many units are coming up. within six months to 12 months, the enemy could find out how widespread it is in the city. it is hard for us to track units. we have tenants move from one property to another. they invest the next property and then they move again and infest the next one. within those buildings, you are getting outbreaks. without proper inspection, follow up from dbi, dbdph, we cannot eradicate the problem if we

i believe i press this.and her wife celebrated their 2nd anniversary. [ laughter ] okay. here we go. >> jimmy: yep. yep. yep. >> amy: and -- my husbands going to be so mad at this swing. [ grunts ] [ laughter ] >> jimmy: wow. [ cheers and applause ] >> no. >> jimmy: wow. [ sad tuba ] [ cheers and applause ] >> amy: this is really hard. golfing is really hard. there we go. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: even fake golfing is hard. [ laughter ] whoa, whoa, whoa. hey. >> what was he thinking about? [ laughter ] okay. oh, boy, here we go. >> jimmy: anyone play with --? >> uh, just you. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: come on buddy. hey, this is good. don't get nervous or anything. watch your aim, my friend. >> right there. is that good? >> jimmy: no, you were a little off. what is this called? >> is that better? >> jimmy: this is a tough hole? >> is it really? >> jimmy: well, that's what i hear. [ audience oohs ] i don't like this. >> right there, right there. [ cheers and applause ] >> jimmy: you're very competitive.

i didn't know what i was in for.say in the book, all of a sudden, my son started getting solicitations in the mail, these big, fat, viewbooks they are called. they are like brochures on these really thick papers. it was so tasty looking. very expensive packages they were sending him. when i thought back, nothing like that had happened to me when i was thinking about college in the mid-1970's. it dawned on me that this was a very different process than what it was. of course we have friends who were just starting to percolate with a little bit of anxiety about it themselves. i went looking for a book. there are tons of books on college admissions. i could not find any one that sort of satisfied what i was looking for. i did not want it to be morose and lugubrious, but on the other hand i wanted it to have a few tips that i could trust. so i thought, i would just write it. >> you went to occidental college in california. what year did you graduate? >> 1978. >> you say that $5,100 was the tuition then when you were in s

and i feel the i am a one that does that. there are other people, too. at 40 something, i am like an elder in the community, wrote -- community, and i think the harm reduction idea is very good. i went into an electronic music festival in canada where they did drug testing their, and people knew what they were taking, and that is kind of like schickendantz -- kind of like dance save does. thank you. secretary: thank you. before i call the next ones, i just want to read these names. [reading names] thank you. next speaker. >> i want to say a few things. it is a very big industry that we are facing. there is a lot going on. it has always been opposed, since the days of rock and roll and woodstock and everything that has been mentioned. the drug use, exists in a relative of what is going on, whether it is shady streets or market street. anything. heavy metal. it basically, i just want to say that fiona mas needs to look at giving the support and making this legal. as safe as possible. and instead of cutting down the hours and ma

so i left. tore my little heart down. i mean, i was like, i was 26 years old, and i said, "hmm. had a little old tape recorder. we used to have a wire tape recorder. this is going way back, had wire on it, you know? and i went back, and i said, "i'm gonna make me a tape dub." then the lady across the street sold me a webco disc cutter, used to make 78s. and i didn't have no money, so i took another record that i had found in the alley and went and bought me some lacquer, paint lacquer, you know. and i laid it down flat, and i took the can and poured it on it, and then it dried. and i went, i said,, "wow, i'm gonna see if this will handle-- if i can cut a record on this stuff." it looked like the same stuff. so i hooked it up. sure enough, that needle cut in that lacquer, and i played it. and i took it to chess records. remind me now, i ain't got no money. i didn't have nothing. and back then, if a kid had a nickel, you was rich. you know, you could buy penny bags of candy all day. you know, penny bags, big old bags, you know. and i made this, and leonard chess looked at me, and

before i walked in here, and do you know what i got? i got served. i do not feel comfortable walking out of here. i would like to have an officer meet me here and walk me to my car. i have it two minutes and 30 seconds. i was not going to go into all of this, but i have gotten awful texts from this person. this was filed on the first of march. this was days before we were going to put the trim up and the appliances in. i am sure i could give you some advice that would help you with our problems. we need to meet. i was on a trip to hawaii and this was what i was getting. there are two lawsuits that i will file against you on tuesday. there are three other parties that are filing lawsuits, too. i can help you make this all go away. you're digging a hole for yourself that will be very expensive to get out of. you have penstocks some very wealthy and powerful people. they will -- have pissed off some very wealthy and powerful people. they will make trouble for you. i am and armed services member and this is how i get treated? it is shameful. i have basic

i mean, i think we forget -- we forget that. i mean, i don't know. i would like to forget it, but i can't. and then after, you know, oklahoma city, when that happened, there was something president clinton said that stuck with me when that happened. he said, you know, there's talk of hate, stand up and talk against it. and that was something that was nice to hear after, you know, a few months of listening to violent calls to murder in between commercials. [laughter] >> so i don't see recreating that experience, lovely as it was. but i did -- i mean, it was -- it was my first book and i learned a lot by writing and publishing it. it's a very like dark and i think kind of angry raw book, but i think that comes from what i had to listen to. i think we can have one more question just -- and could it be slightly more hopeful? [laughter] >> that's not from your question. that's me and the darkness. >> i'll have to work on hopeful, i think. i was curious, do you see a parallel between the missionary effort that you write about in here and the dulles brother

so since i got three later, i think i have 3 1/2.lson) a lot of people apparently believe art can be dangerous. it should be. and that provokes a response, though, as we know from the discussions surrounding the national endowment for the arts. what are-- i mean, if art should be dangerous, then perhaps people have a right to respond and say, "let's limit government spending." what do you think? the money that is given to support the national endowment is not government money. it's people's money. i wish the government would stop referring to it as its own money. it is not. it--it is the people's money. the whole thing about subsidy for the arts in the united states comes down to the fact: do we believe as a society that we should have an aesthetically educated population? now, i have a feeling that an aesthetically educated population is probably better able to vote intelligently than one that is not, 'cause i think the arts are enormously instructive to us on how to live our lives. if whoever is running the government feels that pe

you know, i often tell the story when i was 10 years old, i played cowboys and indians, i got my rightye poked out. i had a neighbor, 72 years old, francis goldstein, every day, came and saw me because i couldn't go to school, i looked like quasimodo from the hunchback of notre dame and i just finished my homework fast, i was bored to death, there wasn't 500 channels, there was a thing for librarian to coach a kid like me about reading. so i learned to read early and i love to read. when people ask, what makes movies great, it's the material. tavis: is there a lack of an appreciation for literature in our country today? and how does that affect the movies? >> i speak to kids 15, 16 years old, they haven't read a newspaper, they don't even look at the headlines, they are on the internet and the level of news they're getting is not the call of "the new york times" or "the wall street journal." it's way deficient and they don't care. so for me, you know, i bemoan the fact that i don't think our kids are as literate as they should be. tavis: what does that say about the future of our count

the bottom line is, here i am. i love dogs. i love my dogs off-leash. but if there are no ramifications and i can't turn to a unit that is established to deal with this or turn to city officials to find out if they have rabies, something is wrong. [chime] >> think you for having this hearing. >> if i could call more names, my apologies for interrupting you. [reads names] you may proceed. >> i am a 42-year resident of san francisco and also a homeowner and an active advocate for our city parks. i am also very supportive of environmental issues. but i am very worried about the proposed proposal to limit dog use in the park. i am here to speak on behalf of my family, husband, children, and grandchildren. god planned activities are very much a multi-generational activity to bind families and bring us to parks. i also wanted you to know that we proudly show off san francisco's dog play areas to our out of town guests. people are amazed that we have this ability to show this kind of recreation as such a wonderful happy family home and recreational activity. t

i want to make sure -- and i had a conversation with dorothy liu -- i think she is concerned about the strength of the commission. i did not hear her articulate that as fully as i would have liked. well i feel she could bring a skill level that would be good -- while i feel she could bring a skill level that would be good for the commission, she did not have what i would expect her to have. i believe she made -- she may be open to be on the commission, but i thought it was a born to make a statement on where the commission should be on this path in being a strong watchdog organization. i will be supporting supervisor mar's motion. >> did you make a motion, supervisor mark? >> -- supervisor mar: yes, i and ended to replace it with alan grossman. >> is there a second to the motion on the floor? presidents chiu? supervisor chiu: thank you. i will be voting against this motion. i did have an opportunity to sit down with alan grossman. i do think he would be a strong advocate for this commission, but i think that liu is extremely thoughtful, extremely unfair. she has a long history of work

she was driving the little engine that could that said, "i think i can, i think i can. then she got over the hump and said, "i know i can. and i did." >> rick: friends and associates cite other qualities that make lieberman a leader in the true sense of the word. renee brown of the w.n.b.a.: >> nancy for us, she exemplifies the love and passion for whatever you're doing. and she shows that in how she coaches and how she plays. >> rick: pat summitt-- legendary coach at the university of tennesee: >> she just has a mindset that, you know, you don't get in my way. and that's really been a trademark of hers, and i just see her as being that way throughout her life. you know, she's always been willing to roll up her sleeves and go to battle. >> rick: brian darden, nancy's personal trainer: >> she really takes the responsibility of women on her shoulders. i mean, you can see the way she carries herself. everything she does, she definitely puts women first. >> rick: as for lieberman herself, she says for her, being a woman of firsts happens almost naturally. >> it's in my d.n.

well, no fun today i guess but any way i am safe. and at that moment i capture him. of my wonderful idea. great. very good. very interesting. i'd like to see you try it. thank you and can you suggest a good place to catch and find many snow herrings. sure. into the temple. why don't you go there. thank you. i go now. going into the temple, the temple gate is closed for the night and the temple wall is too high for me to climb over. i have to look for away inside, okay. what is he doing but to leaning against the wall. it must have been a gardener that left this. okay. i use this. i found many snow herrings. they were all sleeping. each of them standing on one skinny leg. so, i will capture them. wait. wait. wait. i know. snow herrings are very expert so take your time to watch them. so, watching them. they're sleeping. [snoring] i don't need to use my wonderful idea. i won't have to call out to them at all. i just go. [snickering quietly] they're still sleeping. how can i get it done. i should have brought a big bag or something like that. any way i just put his head

when i got to reno, i started teaching other teachers because of what i did. i really want to say that i still love you and think of you very often. and for the rest of the team that is here. thank you so much for a wonderful, wonderful educational experience for us. and for our children. [applause] >> and good evening. i am an educator of the 40 years. mainly in the berkeley unified school district. i am a transplant for the san francisco unified school district. this is all of 40 years. from my association with her at the third baptist church of san francisco, i have seen her in many roles. she is an outstanding educator, her administrator, and a woman of integrity. what an honor is -- we encourage you to vote on her behalf. i have been active member for 40 years. and tonight, i come in support of the naming of the education -- i represent more than 600 women of the third baptist women's ministry. for many years, i have sat in the proverbial crow's-nest, and observed the many glass ceilings that have been crashed in by this pattern. she is a brilliant, intel

i do. there is a lot more to do. thank you very much. if there are any questions you may have. supervisor kim: thank you for your service. we appreciate seeing you here today. next we have made in sutherland -- megan sutherland. >> i'm megan sutherland, i'm a certified arborist and a utility specialist. it is a subset of additional criteria. that is through the international society of horticulture. i went to school in madison for a conservation ecology course that was called the biological aspects of conservation. i have a certificate in environmental studies. i moved back here to the bay area, and i have been working for a company that contracts with pg&e, actually. it basically supplies pg&e with trees specialists and arborists. i have been working for them for a little over five years now. within that company, a number of different positions. i have spent time working as an estimated harbor as -- and they would contact me so i could work as the go-between between what they think they ne

but i will say that i -- >> but if i could -- >> i understand. >> you've been there a long time. been through a lot of these decisions. >> okay. >> you have something to say about it. >> i was actually in the white house on the staff when the war powers act was passed. and in the mid-1970s, and i think it is fair to say there has been disagreement between the congress and the president ever since then on what is required of him under the war powers act. president obama is the eighth president i've worked for. seven operated under the war powers act and i would say that his compliance in terms of consultation and notification of the congress has been consistent with the actions taken by all of his predecessors both republicans and democrats since the war powers act was passed. there was a consultation with the congressional leership before the military operations started. on frida before saturday night, about half were present in the situation room. about half were on a telephone conference call. the written formal notification of the congress took place. so this has been an area

first of all, i am a pedestrian, i don't own a car and so from a that perspective i am intimately familiar with the pedestrian safety issues that are facing san francisco residents on a daily basis. i also believe that the at large community, the at large position needs to represent communities that are not necessarily represented in the existing seats. in particular i think that low income and minority populations as well as the homeless, those interests are not being voiced without the at large position. and through my work with community-based organizations and my current work through a nonprofit that works closely on homelessness issues, i believe i bring that unique perspective to the seat. and finally i feel that the at large position is intended to gather public input and the public voice in general and i feel like my work so far with c.p.o., neighborhood organizations, as well as coordinating outreach efforts on pisac at the moment with the planning department puts me in a good position to do that as well. the reason i want to continue serving on pisac is that i want to participate

i happen to be allergic, lucky for me! but now i sing this song because that's all i can do. your hands together again. [music] ♪[laughter] >> a little too much. [laughter] [music] [laughter] [music] [laughter] [music] [laughter] ♪[applause] >> thank you. >> thank you. thank you. i have um... thank you and peace be with you. there's three mike's here so i don't know if i should put this down. um... before i start, i've had the great honor to - i love to talk at schools. k through graduate school and one question i ask children in america is i ask them how many of you have talked great detail to your grandparents or elders or fore father's about world war ii or the depression or vietnam or civil rights movement, or perhaps if your parents or grandparents came from another country and settled here what it's like. only five to ten percent of the ands come up. if i asked that same question in afghanistan or pakistan or africa 90% of ands come up and i think the as great tragedy we've lost that oral tradition and a rich tradition about folklore and heritage and faith and heritage.

i film -- it was 20 minutes, i did whatever i was supposed to do and it was fantastic. >> jimmy: i didnd it was fun. it was weird. because you just see people there. >> but you see them on their knees and they keep talking like that even when they're not filming, they keep talking like they're the muppet. >> jimmy: yeah. i can only imagine what was going on down on the ground as you were shooting with them. >> i know. i was wearing jeans. >> jimmy: so, and "modern family" has been great -- >> we've been shooting with a lot of great people. [ applause ] yeah. >> jimmy: you just did a commercial -- >> yeah, well, "modern family", the second season is about to finish. and i just filmed a commercial for pepsi with david beckham. >> jimmy: he's not a bad looking guy. >> he was not very bad to look at. >> jimmy: if we could get the two of you to mate, i can only imagine what would come out of you. >> you want him to mate here? he has like four kids. >> jimmy: i don't know. i just like to be apart of it somehow. >> okay. maybe i can arrange something. >> jimmy: i could be a coach. >> no, he w

i also want to say that i did -- i am a person with l disability. i'm also a person with a disability advocate. along with my colleague, bob, who spoke earlier, i do want to say that i did contact him disability organizations, one of which is disability rights advocates who has now a lawsuit, which is possibly going class action against the ggnra for ineffectively making the ggnra -- all of the ggnra accessible to people with disabilities. and this has been an ongoing case since 2008. also, nobody had mentioned with regards to the science what's happening at drake's bay, and i think that needs to also be part of the discussion here. ggnra butts up against the city and county of san francisco which you know you don't have control or jurisdiction over since the transfer, and essentially it would leave san francisco landlocked without any access or control over the future of its coastline. i'm a person with disabilities as i mentioned. i have a service dog that i adopted from the spca. he's 14 years old now. why? because he's able to have those large o

i apologize, i do not have any year. i got from the planning commission a list of interested parties, and in that the tichenor neighborhood, we send out a notice to them. -- and in that particular neighborhood, we send out a notice to them. -- sent out. we have had discussions with her. she was at that neighborhood meeting along with duncan, the captain, officer gallagher, the permit officer for no. station, a couple of officers from the alcohol licensing unit, and a couple of other officers, and actually, note the it -- actually, the executive director jocelyn kane was at that meeting. they want to open a bona fide restaurant and have a lounge after the food. we do have an abc condition, which calls for food operations wherever they are open until 2:00 a.m. for the meal service to go until 1:30, and it is our intention to always serve food when we are open, up to 30 minutes before we close. this will be a normal restaurant. anyone who is at the meeting, ms. kane can tell you, the food was a bit late getting out, but it

>> i can. i can do that.an option. >> jimmy: hit the valley parking guy over the head. >> i can. but the truth is, i love making movies and i love doing that. but there is no other platform in the world where i can have that combination of entertainment, 75,000 people going crazy -- >> jimmy: it's exciting. >> so exciting. nothing like it. >> jimmy: and you guys are -- john cena who has been taunting you a little bit, trying to kind of lure you back in -- do you really hate him or is it fake wrestling hate? >> no, no. the interesting thing about this is, you know, john cena, i really don't know him that well. i respect what he's done in the business. but now, you know, a -- as a matter of fact, it was on the show that he, a few years ago, kind of popping off, going through this time where felt like maybe he grew some testicles and talking a lot of trash. and so what i wanted to do, you know, through that, when i came back into the wwe, i kept close with vince mcmahon hosh, who han a mentor of mine. we wanted

i grew up there since i was 11 or 12. i am a san francisco resident, native. this means a lot to me. i do not want to see parkmerced become like the fillmore. it will. many of my fellow natives in the city had to move to other cities. i talked to them all the time about how they cannot afford to be in this city. the reason i am able to stay in the city is because i have a place that is affordable for me. i would not leave parkmerced even if i made a lot more money. it means a lot to me. i continue to want to live there, no matter how much money i make. i am not living there because of the money. but that is a real relevant issue in san francisco. we are pushing out a lot more people every year who cannot live in the city they grew up in. i would like to see this project not take place. there are numerous reasons why people talk about the eir. i was there in '89 and i saw how it was. >> good afternoon, esteemed supervisors. thank you for giving me the opportunity to address you. my name is judith flam and i am the director of the montessori children's center in

jim, i think i heard you correctly. was in the wings there, but he said that quiet voices usually have the largest impact, and that's my experience. i've been in and many of you have been in, not necessarily governmental bodies, where important decisions are made, and my experience has been, and i suspect yours has been as well that the people who really have an impact on policy are people who present civilly, reasonably strong arguments, and the people who tend to have less impact on policy are people who yell and scream at each other. i sat in on a lot of con sills and csh councils and when i see members of the congress just flip their lids and storm and rave, if you look around the room when that's occurring, people are dismissing that and saying, well, he's off base here or she's off base, and then almost inbearably when decisions are to be made, the discussions will return to serious, sometimes vigorous, robust conversation, but not incivil so i believe that if you're objective is to have impact on policy, then you

. >> i was traveling up to new hampshire. i was in a helicopter. i got a call. i was just about to exit the helicopter and, what happens? i hear that obama finally gave his birth certificate. [applause] i got such credit for that because i accomplished something that nobody else has accomplished. [applause] it was amazing. they all said, "hillary clinton tried to get him to do it. bill clinton tried to get him to do it. john mccain, who is a wonderful guy, try to get him to do it here "nobody could get him to do it. he did it because we went after him hard with tough negotiators, like this country needs. i just ask one thing -- why did he not do it two or three years ago? why does he have to put this country through turmoil, which is what it is going through right now? i will give you an example. obamacare is a disaster. [applause] i know lots about litigation. overall, i understand the system. we are going through a process right now -- either you have it or you do not have it. why do we have to go through the lower courts? why do we not let it go straight to t

i haven't seen it yet. i mean, i haven't.e. >> jimmy: anthony perkins? >> yeah. >> jimmy: a little psycho shout-out? >> psycho shout-out. >> jimmy: that's cool. how's wes craven? is he nuts? >> you know what man, i thought he would be nuts, because i met stephen king once and he's a freaky nut. [ laughter ] so i really -- i really didn't know what to expect from wes, man. so when i got there, i was like, oh, wes is like a gentle old grandfather, or your older uncle. he was cool, but he's a practical joker. >> jimmy: oh no, i don't like that. >> neither do i. and i'm going to tell you why. i'm walking through the house, near the end of the film. and i'm looking for the killer, and i'm by myself. it's dark. the music is playing, and i get to a closet and i open the closet door and you think that's where i meet my demise. whew. i don't. in rehearsal, we're going through the same thing, and i open the door, and there's a stunt man that jumps out looking like that -- with a machete. and he charges me. >> jimmy: no? >> i scream lik

i got elected, and i would like to think it is based on what i had to say. everything should be a cost- benefit analysis. what are we spending money on and what are we getting in return? i was very outspoken regarding school choice. i believe in free markets and i believe bringing educational entrepreneurs to bear would it make a difference. i did that in mexico. it may be a bit of an embellishment, but i may have vetoed more bills when you consider the line items i vetoed, i'd have vetoed more legislation than the other 49 governors in the country combined. it was not just saying no, it was looking at what we were spending money on and what we're getting for the money. i really believe in smaller government. i believe there is a consequence for the legislation gets passed and maybe it is not in our best interest to pass all of the legislation repass. that it layers of bureaucracy on the transactions that are not made any safer by you or i. and in that making it so much more cumbersome and burdensome and and that adding a lot of money as opposed to the notio

while that would be something that i would appreciate, i also know that if i had a way in which i knew that i was going to have sustainable funding, that would be more ideal, so i understand how the department is looking at that. the budget will have to be balanced, so i would not want to come from cuts from workers or effective recreation side as well. thank you. >> greetings, supervisors. i am speaking on behalf of park 94124. i am actually agreeing with keeping the fun. maybe if you want to look at lowering the cost or the fee, but i am definitely for generating revenue, and the same thing with the park and ride -- rec dept.'s concern. you just do not see the same caliber. also, the concern about the -- i have the same concern when we have those three wins this. however, it is policy, so the next summit come, i will bring the idea, but i have the same concerns about the clipper card. it is all something that we need to go back to the lab and reading, but generating revenues is generating revenues. we are in a deficit, we're not saying you're charging $25 or $30. $5. maybe decrease i

i knew where the bones were buried, i knew the people, i knew the issues and be i -- and i also felti would be given a license from the street to do certain things that would give me time. because of the relationships i had with them as the founder of the company. and it turned out well. now, there were many people who thought this was a disaster, the board should be shot. he was part of the problem. but, you know, it turned out pretty well. >> yeah. so far so good. so let's talk, as you come back, part of my question was did you do things too fast? then i came to this page on 144 where it says as you would eventually concluded that the product as well as the way we had brought it to market met three critical criteria for success at starbucks. this was about pike place. it was ripe for and engaged our partners, it was ripe for and met the needs of our customers, and it was right for the business. unfortunately, i did not realize, i did not realize that not everything the company was trying to do that season met those three very important standards. at the end of 2008 or april 2008 we

i do what i do and i does it with. i saw your mommas. got me one and i call them daddy instead of papas. you ain't with it, you in the past. since i guess you have nice things well you whack and because of that aspect i never ever slacked. not the female you used to date. i got a unique type situation. i'm so glad these birds they just bloop me. i speak fluently. she busy with all that blah, blah, blah. hear me out though. i'm going to leave you stern. [applause] >> in an urban high school in the science laboratory lab, two girls are discussing their project. >> you don't even know what you are doing the -- doing. you're dumb. >> you test too much. >> the day has come. the projects are to be returned. >> see, i told you? mine was the best. i told you, dummy. besides, let me see what you guys have. >> you know, i'm leaving. after school, alice and delores park thinking about human behavior. >> i don't know what people want to -- from me, for real. i have to say i think people just want me to be perfect. but you know what? i am capable of

i work for and a half hours. i have been working there since august 7th. i know, if i can. we had a lot of tour buses that have said that we were free. a lot of people were turned away because we were told -- they were told we were free. there are still a lot of people that don't know that we charge. there are some that are happy to pay when they don't have their id. >> are you working today? >> i was working and then i came over here. >> thank you. >> next speaker, a priest -- next speaker, please. >> i am in charge of the docent training for the garden. we only have two choices to talk about today. one of them is keeping the city going, the other is taking a one time donation from the board of supervisors. unfortunately, those are the only choices we have. if they said, we will give you what you need every year for the next 10 years, we would not have had this meeting. that choice apparently is not on the table. maybe we will get the money next year. i think that the botanical garden needs the feed because that is the one that is probably going to be more sustainable. tha

i don't know when i saw. i saw a. person i tried. i didn't want to think. but i was still angry i still wanted to go. and i have great remorse sometimes for that's most of the. violence it's done it's done deal done and over it's years i've not had to worry it's right it's just as napa when he gets out of here in south america worry about things just i had no worries years closure. the only ones present a chance execution not night there were also those who tried to save him. jones execution left scars on his lawyer steve press and. steve still lives in the little town of norman near oklahoma city. specializing in final appeals of the can damaged he has lost eleven of the men he has defended and succeeded in saving only two of them. i would hear so many people who support the death penalty saying well it's part of our system we have a well the only reason that we haven't explored is of the system is because they act to change it and they they support the system and it's wrong and they don't know why it's so they don't know first hand. or even second you kno

you know staples i forgot to tell you how much i love you but i want you to know i do okay?but the government extended it to the 18th this year because i couldn't get my stuff together. they're actually -- they're pretty reasonable if you just talk to them about it. so now you get to spend the whole weekend convincing the waitress at denny's to give you a reset for a $10,000 meal. i wonder what the most anyone's ever spent at denny's is? i'm going to guess $83. you know who must have the greatest tax deductions of anyone in the country? carrot top. who else can write off a mr. potato head and a bicycle? no one. thank you, thank you very much. you know if you're confused or maybe even procrastinating as far as getting your taxes done go, we have something for you. here are some last-minute tax tips from our beloved local hollywood boulevard superheroes. >> well my last-minute tax tip would be make sure you always have your w-10 forms sitting together in like one folder so you can take them all in have them nice and organized. >> i have a tax accountant that actually takes car

i mean, i which is shake. i was just shaken corporate to find the first ones, finding that release expected there expected there were 12 shoeboxes, you know, about like that. remember the old days? and i got to box eight and it was a moment and which were sets in and you're like how can i do this? when i thought, i would go hot and cold and you shake. you're any manuscript room, and you are wearing gloves in this book is open, you are facing the archivists to be sure that you don't run away with anything and it just something called this a snake to put down to hold things down. and then you've got your magnifying glass. you've got all the paraphernalia around you, and it's so hard to get -- i mean, i could feel the emotion but it's so hard to express them. so when they found the one at the new york historical society, and that was days and days of just going through these written records, and i was like, y. am i doing this? and the young man there, his name was fernando, and i went and told him and he said to

>> i guess i will start. i am the chair of the youth commission. >> i am daniel herstein, a commissioner. i am the legislative affairs coordinator. >> i am marisol, community outreach officer. president newlin: anyone else? >> other members of the commission will be here shortly. they will probably be mixed in the crowd with you or sitting up here with us. be on the lookout. i guess i will begin martin. >> i would like to call this meeting to order. may i have a roll call please? >> commissioner zuckerman? commissioner ben-ezra? chair lacroix? we are expecting commissioner liang, plus some of our executive committee. are there any you commissioners i missed? we are expecting at least two more. that concludes the call to order and the roll call. >> before we have commissioner comments, i recommend we call the supervisor of so he can make his comments. you are in no hurry? you want to be last? all right. i will open it up to and the commissioners that would like to make some kind of introductory comments before

just so i don't know what. i saw and. i don't think the person i tried. because i didn't want to think. and i was still angry i still wanted it to. be what it was. and i had great remorse sometimes for us most of the time i'm not thinking about it it's done it's done deal done and over again years i've not had to worry it's right it's just his nap and what if he gets out it's not to me to worry about things that did kill us i had no words to yours done closure. on the well worn off the only ones present at sean's execution that night there were also those who tried to save him. i think. sean's execution left scars on his lawyer steve press and. steve still lives in the little town of norman near oklahoma city. specializing in final appeals of the condemned he has lost eleven of them and he has defended and succeeded in saving only two of them. and we hear so many people who support the death penalty say well it's part of our system we have well the only reason that we haven't is part of this of this system is because they won't act to change it and they t
