i have taken stuff from frc where i have learned about robot parts or technologies or coding, and i am able to understand that and multiply it what ever -- and apply it to whatever i am doing in school. frc, ier i learned in move that to what i learned in technology. being in first allowed me to be involved in multiple internships, and from those i am now applying that to class. we have to provide some research by the end of the year. andare in an internship from there you produce a scientific paper. some of the skills i learned of time in terms management, i'm am able to apply that in that respect. there definitely is a mix in between those two. i have experience with first, i have been mostly kind of a nuts and bolts guy, if you will, doing most of these physical works on the robot, and that is what inspired me to get into the computer science classes that we have at our school. it was because i wanted to learn more about how you make those things do what they are designed to do. first definitely, what has planted the seed for me to learn more about what it is all about, how you make

and i have. i am sorry to all the people of this state that they have to be occupied with this matter. it is embarrassing. the whole matter is humiliating to me. all you can do as a person when you know this is to stand up and be genuine and sincerely apologize and hope that people accept your apology. i think i have built up enough goodwill over time with the people of new jersey that i am hopeful they will accept my apology. >> [inaudible] are you going to make an effort to look at computers and blackberries and things like that? >> the answer as of right now is, i don't know. it is something that i have talked to staff about looking at. again, we found about this 24 hours ago. things will take some time. i asked them specifically to check their e-mails and let me know if there is anything that touches upon this. folks who have worked for bridget also, to see if there is anything they know and can shed light on. we are in the process of doing this but that is going to be time-consuming. i just b

i may have but i will say it again. the eastern belief is when you are born you are like a pure little white box and you are empty and in western life as we go grow older in our society we get a little tremble or a little fear or anxiety and so we take something that we think we need and we put it in the box, like a drink, a partner, money, game, whatever, and as we are growing older the box is heavier and heavier with everything we have put into it that we think we need to exist. eastern philosophy says when you feel anxiety, when you feel a tremble, don't take a valium, don't take a drink. throw something out of your box, so that when you come to your last moments on earth or your last years if you are lucky enough not to be in a coma or infirmed in some way you will go wherever we are going to go with a degree of lightness, to go back you asked me where i am now in my life. that's where i am. i am emptying my box. i am not doing it as well as i would like to. i still go back to old habits and i still look for affirma

that.k that i have i think i have grown as a woman, as a mother, as a partner, as an artist. don't feel like i am lacking in any way. i feel really good. i wish i had a different answer, but that really is my honest answer. the other part of it is i don't really feel the need to rush through. i think the one great thing about being an act or or is you can be an actor for the rest of your life. i may not win my academy award until i am 70 something years old, but i am going to get there. i am not worried about, is it going to happen? you have got to look at it like this. people met me when i was 16 years old, and that is when i started in this is news. i turned 43 in nine days. time, so i have lived my life in front of the camera, and the times you saw me shy away was because there were things in my life that were more important. i never wanted to be this age and not have children. i never wanted to not have family. that was never part of my plan. you can have everything but not at the same time. >> we will circle back to best man holiday. what is the joy of being reunited with

have had anything to give him. however if i had known about this relationship, between recreation and the park department, and arbor well this really would have no issue on our bearing of permits, the permits are issued to the property owner, they can hire whoever meets the guidelines to do the work, as long as it is done in compliance with the city standards, also in the dpw actions are unrelated to the what the parks department may do under its own authority over golden gate park and also note that i am not aware of any recommendation by the urban forestly council to award any contract that is not under the council's purview, that is not something that is done. i don't think that is happened. >> i took my seat and i have not seen it happen, i do not believe that there is a conflict of interest here and i think that this is a red herring and i would ask you not to grant the rehearing. >> i have a request. >> sure. >> so, i do remember the contractor stating that he makes no money. and the contract with the city and council, he

>> i have four minutes? >> cool. >> very short director housing rights committee and i i wanted to first off really thank commissioners fewer and mendoza for bringing this forward and the time has come so thank you very much and i, am really tired and it has been a long, hard day andvy been working on fighting evictions that have been result of speculation and i have been talking to the tenants about the evictions and the rent experiences and counseling them about the rights and talking to them and dealing with the tremendously horrible repair situations that are not getting resolved and it has been a hard week and a hard month and year. and i wanted to go home, you know hours ago, but it is important enough for me to be out here tonight, to tell you that you have an amazing opportunity staring you in the face. and it is not everyone and it is not every day that has the ability to do something to put a dent in this affordable housing crisis that we are experiencing right now. so you are in an incredible posit

i have known him for a long time. when he made his testimony, i would have no reason to believe that he wasn't telling the truth. but obviously from reading these emails yesterday there was other stuff going on that i hadn't been informed about. i never called him personally, no. but barone's position continues to be there was a traffic study. and he has a disagreement with pat foy about that. they had a disagreement, that was clear. pat foy had already expressed those concerns in earlier written documents that he -- someone had put out to the press. matt? inaudible] >> hi no conversation with bell. -- i had no conversation with bill. listen, i had earlier conversations with bill where, as i expressed to you at the time, that bill told me he knew absolutely nothing about this. so and certainly the emails yesterday, emails are well after the fact, so -- but that's not the basis upon which i made my decision on bill. my decision on bill was made based on the fact of the tone, tenor, and conduct evidenced in those emails.

our great self-sustain and also, our body image. >> and i just have to skaul that out because i feel like it is some what hypocritical to talk about this and not talk about the need for physician xal education in our schools. so having said that, i too am sort of concerned about it being attached. to the children's amendment and reauthorization of the peace. and so i can see the valid measures i am concerned about it being attached. i have been reassured by the author, that is not attached to it. so i am going to take that. i am going to take that commitment as truth, and that it will not be attached to it and this commitment does not say that it will be. and so i mean that it will be, and in this resolution, does not say that it will be. and i think that this is going to be a battle, and quite frankly i know that the timing of where you are going to need the support is basically also at the ballot and so it is not just right now, and it is going to be if you are in for a dollar you are in for a dollar, that means that you it is all the way to the ballot. and so, colleagues, i althoug

i do not have to worry about what i am saying, i can try things on. there is some discussion back and forth. on the basis of that, people would cast a tentative vote, but it is less tentative than it would have been the day before. and it is less tentative than it would have been before the oral arguments. on the basis of that, the chief justice will assign someone to be the rapporteur. he is much more constrained in that. everybody gets one case before they get two. by the way, half of our cases are unanimous. where they are 5-4, i learned how to get it assigned to me. i was the longest-serving junior justice in history almost. i could get it assigned to me. here is how. it breaks down 4-4. how do i get it to me, which i certainly did not want. i said, i am not sure. they have to assign it to me. that will determine the outcome. i better be more certain than that. nonetheless, he has to try to get the court, do it by the numbers, and that he has some discretion. then we sit down, we write, i get my law clerk to write a long draft or memo, and then i w

i have been with these people for months. i don't know why it would take longer to try the cases just because we change who the convening authority would be. wouldn't that say the same? maybe i missed your point. i don't know why that would change, the amount of time it would take to finish the case. jag officers are doing those cases. >> but if you have a team -- i think you increase and centralize the number of cases. you have got to prioritize within that scheme. in a command right now, that case could be the most important thing on your plate. the judge is usually located within driving distance of your area. i get concerned that it gets lost in a number when it is all consolidated within a region. if it is consolidated within the united states. even if you put it on a regional basis, it has to be advertised, located, and it won't have the same -- it is not the only case in town. that may be what you find at a particular installation. if you try it at a particular command, the number would still stay relatively low. i don'

i usually tell people that you should not ask me what i have done. rather, you ask me what i did not do, which is usually don by parents. i did not clip her wings to fly. i did not stop her from flying. and girls like her, they can fly and i always give a message to the parents all around the world, girls are suffering, that trust your daughters. honor your daughters. they're honorable. and educate your daughters. they're amazing. [applause] >> malala, one of the things i have heard you say, which has not got an lot of attention -- you said this at the united nations -- you're not just fighting for the rights of girls to get education you're also fighting for the right of boys to get education, including the children of the terrorists, and i'd like you to tell us more about that. why do you feel that way? >> there has been a discrimination in our society, and many have been doing this for centuries, but this time, the women are going to bring change. speaking of for girls but we must not behave like men. must not behave like they have been in the past

i have heard the other two proposals. i think it should be up to all of us and the better we have the public input, the sooner we can move along. i want to wish everybody happy holidays! >> thank you. >> next speaker. thank you. >> good morning commissioners, good morning phil, my name is bonnie jones. last march i was well over 300 pounds. just joking. [ laughter ] i'm here on behalf of everyone that enjoys zumba in the parks, zumba program, friday nights in castro, saturday morning in portrero hill and sunset. i attend them all and i even pay for some of them. this is a poster that all the kids got together. when i say kids, i mean people from ages 9-84. nine is our youngest and 84 is our older.. they sign this because they love zumba, they love the folks that you have chosen. they bring a smile to our face. zumba does so much more than keep us trim and fit. it brings communities together, people out of their homes, neighbors meeting neighbors. i'm going to get upset, but it's really wonderful. especially out in the suns

i have not had to contend with any new installation of a box. i and everyone else live on a daily to try to submit the daily existing boxes. that the boxes be automatically painted every week. i religiously use my 311 app to record the graffiti on the 3 boxes on my street on third and the turn around for the abatement is very good and the following week i have to report it again because it's painted again. why don't we take the on us off and paint it every week. supervisor scott weiner: thank you. let me call the next batch. >>> thank you for the opportunity. i have a word called deception. it's a location at 17th street at the upper market area. there is already an existing box. in that panel i got a note for installation on another box. strangely enough, the photo did not show that box just a few feet away. that box is already there and they want to put one in and they showed it over here without that box included in the picture. if that isn't deception; it may not be a mortal sin but it looks like deception to me. i hope you will somehow over

maybe i should have known more. i think you monday morning quarterback every story you do. >> there were two areas in which i found great satisfaction. foundwere two in which i not only satisfying, but loving an interesting. -- one fat i worked very was that i worked very hard on the history of the house. i was the chairman of the in 1976nial committee's and 1987, 1989. >> everything is going to turn 200 someday. i hope in the doing, that i the constitutional history. the most striking thing about -- thepaign, people talk republicans keep saying, bill clinton was elected with 43% of the vote. what is really striking is you have president george bush who had not committed any felonies and you was thought of as a nice man. and had run a very successful war. you had ross perot, who half the voters think was to mentally unstable to be president. and you have no clinton, this hayseed from arkansas. those two guys got 62% of the vote against an incumbent president. >> in this particular social situation, gets to be the way

i expected the canadian kaupbs consulate would have concerns about the views. i commissioned solar studies -- where am i -- window studies, view studies from multiple angles, lighting studies, as many study sz as were asked for we did because i was trying to address the concerns of my neighbors. i love my neighborhood, i care about my neighbors and that's why i have worked so hard to address their concerns and stay in this neighborhood. i'm not trying to create waves, i'm not trying to create a mcmansion, i'm try to go create a home that fits within the size and scale of the neighborhood and keeps these neighbors that i want to stay living by happy. i'd like to now introduce my team to present the rest of the project. . >> thank you, carolyn, jeremy paul on behalf of the project sponsor. i want to quickly run down through some of the residential design guidelines issues. if we can go to the computer please i want to talk to you about this request for discretionary review. this is a photograph taken from bruno's window showing his view towards downtown and to the

my point is that i have the background i have. most of us have certain views about our profession at it. the global -- at a philosophical level. where do we all fit in, how does law fit in? when you get to these great big open constitutional questions, i think that that plays a role. what is the freedom of speech? 14th amendment. equal protection of the laws. no deprivation of life, liberty, or property without the due process of law. by the time they reached the supreme court, there are good arguments of both sides, most of the time. a person's background, how they see the law, how they developed over time, it does have an impact. it cannot be avoided, and i do not think it is wrong. that is one reason why these terms last a long time. different presidents with different views appoint different people. now any president who thinks that he is going to get the decisions he always wants. surely wrong. teddy roosevelt appointed wendell holmes. he ended up deciding in the wrong way in an antitrust case. they may have more luck at a dee

i only have 3 points. one is i was not under the understanding that the marsh is asking for a reduction of units. i don't believe they are. that is really nothing to do with the marsh. the other two, i just want to say the condition where you have to let people know what they are getting dmoo -- into and they have to sign it and they are really clear i think is a really good one because we watched the south of market on 11th street have people move in and complain constantly and requirements were placed on the place there and i don't think they can afford that. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> hello, my name is echo brown and i respectfully request that you adopt the findings. i take classes at the marsh. i would like to say the marsh is more than just a theatre. it's a community space that brings people together and that functions as a society in our world. it's our job to protect the integrity of that space by adopting these findings primarily the noise concern. we provide programming so

at the same time, i mean, i have to tell you, i have never seen a company do create -- create a niche like you have and blow it out worldwide and i think that people just need to hear from you how snowmobiles are doing, how atvs are doing. off road vehicles. also even how your defense business is doing. >> you know, the business is an incredibly solid shape, jim. we had our second quarter over $1 billion in sales, sales were up 20% in the fourth quarter. we ended with retail very strong. coming out of december. the snowmobile industry is as good as it has been in quite some time. we have lost a little bit of share early in the year but we have great products and expect to gain that back over the next couple of months. our side by sides continue to be industry leading. and really, the business is doing extremely well as we enter 2014. especially with these midyear product launches such as the ace i mentioned, the ranger xp deluxe. just across the board we have a great line judge of products to serve our global products. >> it's real cold and snowing around the country, but do you have

we could have had both foundations done, i have not seen the drawing commissioners, my drawings have been submitted, to dbi and they will be check and rechecked and through the engineers. and i brought another source of an, engineer, and unfortunately i will share that time because i am excited about it. we want to get back to work. not to punish them. but to proceed with our valid permits. and allow us to continue. i am not closing the door in communicating with the neighbor. that is becoming increasingly harder for me to be able to convince my client to wait indefinitely, thank you flt >> thank you. >> mr. santos, i just want to confirm that the meeting that occurred several weeks ago, the other engineer, and indicated that he had a design and he presented it. you are saying that he did not? >> we did not, he had a sketch of a typical under pinning situation, that is that concrete pier and a back, there was no drawings or drawings or plans or details , calculations not just a sketch. >> that was my question. >> do you have any rebuttal from the department from mr. duffy? >> no? >> o

and i have employees that live in the city that need to get to work i have folks that need to get to court and go and go. i need transit. and i want to just say that on market street, i bought a building between polk and van ess where you need the courage and the bullet proof vest to get to work every day and i stayed there it seems to be a great place, twitter finds it to be an ideal location to be but it always wasn't. and what made the difference is the way that market street has evolved. and one of the most important going to collapse. transit is like water, if you put in a block in one place, it will move another place if you give that need another avenue it will take it and as a small business person, thank you for holding this meeting and thank you for helping my people get to work and my clients get to my office and to keep the city alive, thank you. >> thank you. >> next? >> mary lauren hall. swarts, and kaplin of >> i am with the alliance for biking and walking and an organization based in washington, d.c., we focus on biking and walking issues and i am here today to give yo

and so i like to role model and make sure that we have our water with fruit in it to give the students and the staff an alternative right up front of what they can purchase or make at home with tap water and madrines and i am excited that we have gone really far with our resolution foods, and contract, and we have our ido and we are really setting up the environment for what we want to do with foods and this is one more step and in terms of the education component and impart that have 30 percent that is left from the department and i was thrilled today to walk in the door and have a young woman come up to me and say you don't remember me. but you taught me my first nutrition lesson and now, i am, part of the sh, the liaison, working with the school district, with the police department. and so the nutrition lessons go beyond just the health and makes the student brave to go out there in the world. one of the other things that i am really excited about is when i taught a lesson with paul reveer last year and we are talking about the soda, and he said, you mean to tell me, that if i tell

i still have no closer. this is 2014 now. i brought this because mayor gavin newsom said i know who killed her son. the da know. the police know. there's just no witnesses but i figure if you can put a man in jail and there's no body -- i forget his name, but there's no body and he killed a young girl how much evidence do you need when people are coming with the names, the names of the person that killed my son? this is what i have to look at and this is what i have to deal with and remember everyday standing over my son's casket. i wouldn't wish this on any mother and this is something i said i will be doing for the rest of my life. believe me i don't want to do this. i hate doing this. i literally hate t i have other children that i have to raise but i can't forget about this one. i can't because they took him from me. it's not like a medical condition. someone took my son from me. he was a good boy. he went to school. i have to walk across the stage and get his diploma while these men walk the street and have children and n

me read it out allowed to you. >> if you have time. >> i have item one new building with the exception of one story occupy 0cy this is referring to the technical report requirement. >> okay. >> this is my presentation if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them. >> i'm going to put up my copy. i was the structural engineer that did the repair work at this highway that was in serious condition they undermined the house by 2 feet and it's lucky known died. i remember playing on the plane in the 60s it was korean yet. the issue there's a 2 photo agreement. it's important to understand there's only one technical generally involved in any of this right now it's eddy. i'm a licensed engineer and they have a licensed structural engineer. we've met out there and marked it on our underpinning permit everyone's happy. the problem is their building a garage and their sidewalk is 7 inches below that the mat. they have not addressed that. if they make the mat at the top of the sidewalk i understand the board didn't want to get into those issues.

i mean i didn't have to think about it, i know, but i said i would have to say i love crack more.s horrible as that is, i said i would be home and have a daughter beside me and having popcorn watching a movie. instead, i'm in a ratty hotel in a bathroom smoking crack in front of the mirror. there isn't anywhere else i would rather be. >> while brandee nyp might have once blended in in family friendly grand rapids, brian is the first to admit he doesn't. >> i can be your best friend at the same time, if you cross me or do me wrong, i could be your worst enemy. >> looking at the tattoos, you don't see many people with tattoos like that. >> he looks very eccentric. it's hard to tell what this person might be like. >> never in a million years if i saw him walking down the street on the outside would i approach him for any reason under the sun. >> usually when people meet me, they look and are like there's something wrong with that guy. really, i'm just, i love tattoos. i just love tattoos. i think they're awesome. >> he wasn't smiling when he got his most prominent tattoo, a crown tha

since i have been here. so, i am wholly prepared to not only do this, but get down and talk about how we can do more. with what we have. don't hesitate to come here and speak to thirlt seconds or a minute to remind us that you are taking too long to get down on what you have. be direct with us. and please don't call me commissioner and then go on with the niceties and not get to the point, get to the point of helping us get to where we need to be and be direct. because sometimes our eyes get glazed over. with crazy conversation about how people are going to help us, with other cookie favors that are not in the best interest of the people we serve which are our family and our students. please come here and remind us of what we need to do. if we start taking too long. those are my only comments. >> thank you, i am going to make my comments now and then let commissioner mendoza and fewer wrap up the decision. really i just want to say that as all of you were talking and giving testimony to us tonight, i leaned o

and i have never been against something that i didn't think i had a better idea. they all have a perception. i go out and defend immigration. not a popular thing. people just don't know. you have to mainstream these people and get them productive citizens of america. so these things here constructive criticism, they have a hard time taking constructive criticism. maybe the people they are defending and saying ok, that makes sense. let me give you the facts on this. have some real intelligent discussion. >> if hillary clinton becomes your presidential candidate or nominee, how does that affect the democratic party, can there be a resurgence for the party there or is the state shifting pretty rapidly to the right? >> west virginia is the northern most southern state in the united states. we are right on the mason-dixon line. so we are the last but seeing a national trend, a lot of social issues, a lot of lifestyle that people don't understand. it's just one of those things -- >> a shift to the right. >> it doesn't have to be a permanent shift. if you look at the enti

and i have. i am sorry to all the people of this state that they have to be occupied with this matter. it is embarrassing. the whole matter is humiliating to me. all you can do as a person when you know this is to stand up and be genuine and sincerely apologize and hope that people accept your apology. i think i have built up enough goodwill over time with the people of new jersey that i am hopeful they will accept my apology. >> [inaudible] are you going to make an effort to look at computers and blackberries and things like that? >> the answer as of right now is, i don't know. it is something that i have talked to staff about looking at. again, we found about this 24 hours ago. things will take some time. i asked them specifically to check their e-mails and let me know if there is anything that touches upon this. folks who have worked for bridget also, to see if there is anything they know and can shed light on. we are in the process of doing this but that is going to be time-consuming. i just b

i think it would have been better for the country. i try to write a book every other year and was due to right one and thought what would i do? fit topic i heard was then broadcast since 1980 dined -- 1989 i am 57 and so i had a breast with the pbs affiliate with the public affairs show it is on five nights a week is a forerunner of cable eliot produced by martin berndt said just extraordinary great fun. to give me the opportunity when i love every day. so to interview people since they teach 895 days a week that is 50 incitements a day a few of the interview people with half of those you have 25,000 interviews. so in the book "the happiest life" every klay major viewed more than 10,000 then made a long list of the happiest people i've met but then i wrote them down in the context of what they occurred and out of that came the happiest life and jonathan was good too rigid and has spread widely in and well-received by an extraordinary array of people. the archbishop gave it a glowing review with the msnbc columnist he is always wrong bu

>> i have a great relationship. ime syndicated show is partners with scripps, parent company to food network and cooking channel. i work largely with the same people all throughout my year. i film the daytime show from september to may. we do 180 episodes of that. then during the summer i do my food network and cooking channel projects. there are the same people who come back and forth with me to those places. it feels very much like family to me. i've been on food network about a dozen years or so. i like that continuity. >> those competition shows -- and i'm not talking about "top chef" itself, but some people believe those shows are rigged. >> let them believe it. who cares? >> who cares? [laughter] >> we can't focus on negative energy. >> the one thing we can't do is waste a lot of energy trying to get everybody to believe that we are putting on something that is real. it is exhausting. those people are watching, too, so we invite them in. it's ok. if you want to watch -- >> conspiracy theories sell lots of books

police commission here and i have a bias. i miss being on the police commission to i get excited to see these commissioners here, but let's hear from them and i want to turn it over to president mazzucco and thank you president and welcome to you and your colleagues. >> thanks very much supervisor campos and members of the board and members of the public. it was informative tonight to hear from the public. this is our fourth hearing in this matter. i want to thank my fellow commissioners for being here. but the most important part about tonight is that what you saw was a very transparent police department where we have a chief and a commander willing to come up and admit where we may have miss givings and telling us what our plan is. i'm proud to be apart of this organization and thank you for your candor and continued work. this is our fourth hearing. we have accountability, we're asking for statistics, we're looking into the enforcement actions. i know that commissioner loftus and commissioner turnman have been active and wa

[laughter] i don't think i would have gotten cancer if i knew then but i knew i a have estrogent dominance. like all the fox girls but the depletes of for just thrown first that is the anti-carcinogenic component of our whole model -- for model 70. when you don't have the cancer protector part you are left unprotected. was very low and did not know its. if women read this it would be like changingen -- life changing. >> what is the percentage? >> i own is. [laughter] when you are an entrepreneur you throw things against the wall and hope thoughtazi something sticks. neil: you look great. i am too young for this. is the name of the book. >> i always in my ear that you came in and it made me love you. neil: the new number people want is 780 and above now they're looking at the credits for. -- score neil: and pd does not matter if

but i have seen staff assaulted. i have seen staff die. it's a very violent environment and it can happen. nobody, i don't believe, really knows the true reasons why sometimes. >> i'm really nervous. i'm really nervous. >> two years ago officer karen talley was brutally assaulted and nearly died. today is her first day back behind the walls of "b" cell house. karen originally started work at the prison in 1997. >> in the michigan city area there's not a lot of jobs and i had two small children, and i had to find a job that could pay the bills, you know, and be able to support them. >> at the time officer talley was responsible for supervising "b" cell house, an important part of her job was securing the inmates back in their cells with a system called rolling of the bar, an archaic locking device left over from an earlier era. >> that day, chow lines were running late. i said, come on, guys, in your cells. if you miss roll-in, you know what happens. i figured all of them would be in. i rolled the bar. bigger than anything, here are three of

i have to show you these bars because they are really amazing. le always ask me, do i eat carrots when i eat raw? look at this, this is a rocky road bar. the marshmallows in this are not raw. in any case, i have always picked them ow because i'm not a marshmallow eater. but the bars are incredible. these might disappear by the end of this show. then we have the chocolate chip. look at the chocolate chips in this thing. it's incredible how she makes these -- i'm talking at -- i'm like running at the mouth, tell me about your bars, let me hold them up and you talk about them. >> these bars are actually a culmination of a few years of frustration from diet, being gluten intolerant, i wanted to give my husband and my son and the people that we know choices a and the best way to do that was to create something of my own. so it took a few years, they hanged picked ingredients, there's no gmos in these bars. >> no gluten. >> no gluten, lactose, soy or whey, they're all natural and raw. >> my manager kept arguing with me, these are not raw. these are not

i have not challenged the staff and i am complimenting the staff and in regard to one thing that i don't understand that commissioner renne said is that if we wanted to discuss this, and we go into it, and it would have to be done in the private session and i am looking here at the letter that i got from mr. st. croix, relating to this matter, and when i first got it. and in the final paragraph, he says, due to the fppc public deliberation adecember macing of the attached exhibit they have advised the staff that the ethic's commission should be conducted in open session, not in private. okay. >> you said that it has to be done in a private session, that is not what mr. st. croix is saying here, that is not what the city attorney is saying. >> but we do it in open session and, that is what we are doing now. because it was requested that we put it on the calendar. >> and i am sorry, could i just quickly interject? i think that the discussion is getting too far afield from the agenda item. and so, i think for purposes of public notice, i think that this is a discussion that if it is going t

people are having trouble. i myself haven't been hit luckily but have so many encounters that it's crazy so i can see it's a problem. we need a change of attitude. i was a motorcycle guy driving crazy, the one thing that re

i have to tell you, i am a very slow reader. but i went through it in one afternoon because i could not sit down. it was such a page turner. it is number one at amazon.com in terms of books about the middle east. it is riveting to show how this work in his nation that was established in 1929 has managed to infiltrate into various capitals to the western world. unfortunately, into our very own. it has managed under the obama administration, metastasize and has been influenced in our corridors of power. without any further ado, that to introduce you to a wonderful individual, erick stakelbeck. [applause] >> i want to thank sir for first about hosting this event. the endowment for middle east or is just phenomenal work on capitol hill. i look at sir is a modern-day astra, a modern-day deborah. i really do for such a time is this. thank you for having me here in thank you are going to the book in one afternoon. i have to say. when you get done a book come you don't want to look at it. if you write it come you spend a u.s.a. this boo

i have nothing else to hope for. this is something that i need to cope doing, coming down here every wednesday and putting his picture here. and hoping that somebody will recognize or even remember what happened that day. and give me some closure as a mother. i am frustrated, sometimes i am homeless. thinking that maybe i will never get justice for my son. but i can't give up. i show these pictures my son, laying here lifeless, and i don't know how to make this thing go smaller. i am sorry. what did i do? >> make it go smaller, to see his picture? >> this is another picture, and this is all thatvy left of him is his mangled body being shot to death, 30 rounds of bullets into my son. no mother, would i not wish this on any mother to have to see this or even have to go to a funeral home to identify their child's body. my son was a handsome boy with a beautiful smile and this is what they left me with. this hurts. and i'm tired of crying. you see what i have to look at and what i have to deal with every day and you might

my point is that i have the background i have. most of us have certain views about our profession at a philosophical level. where do we all fit in, how does law fit in? when you get to these great big open constitutional questions, i think that that plays a role. what is the freedom of speech? 14th amendment. equal protection of the laws. no deprivation of life, liberty, or property without the due process of law. by the time they reached the supreme court, there are good arguments of both sides, most of the time. a person's background, how they see the law, how they developed over time, it does have an impact. it cannot be avoided, and i do not think it is wrong. that is one reason why these terms last a long time. different presidents with different views appoint different people. i think that is one reason why these terms last a long time. different president with different views appoint different people. now any president who thinks that he is going to get the decisions he always wants. surely wrong. teddy roosevelt appointed w
