as an i.t. organization within the city, and to your comment earlier, it is something we face everyday, a challenge we face every day. leveraging legacy. respecting legacy, yet implementing technology to meet the needs of the business of the city and the needs of the constituents within the city. >> thank you. having a question for you or -- when you say cloud, there are multiple model ser -- models. let me simplify them. one is instead of building your own data center which companies would do 10 years ago and build your own computer room at generators and air conditioning, you use an outsourced professional data center. that is one move to the court, which is one move to the crowd. the second model, which you have actually used to set up a mass of private club, where you can now provision servers on demand for your constituents within the city. in the context of a government with the compliance issues and security issues and mission critical services which you overlay, that is quite an achievem

consumerization is really helping i.t. and i think can really help move the whole computing experience forward, while preserving a way for people to access legacy applications that can be cloud- ified as well. >> i'm going to go right turn on the spirit let me start with something for you to think about. 80% of the u.s. economy is a service economy, right? we do not manufacture anything. we do not grow anything. we are a service economy. you probably heard this. probably every one of you in this room is in the service economy. you probably are not growing or manufacturing anything. the question i would put in front of you is what the hell is a service business? what is a service economy? right? is it answering the phone nicely? is that a service business? is it flipping burgers burgersin-n0out? i get to say that around here, right? i would contend you that a service business is a business which delivers information that is personal and relevant to you. information that is personal and relevant to you. whether that means i

to -- i.t., and so you, oppose those bills. i'm wondering why are those bills not the appropriate way to protect intellectual property? >> guest: well, patents, trade marks, copyrights are important domestically and nationally, and we have to recognize that we have a different philosophy, and we have to do everything to recognize they just can't make copies of our trademarks, they can't rip it off our pat ended products and our sat ware and just steal it. that's wrong. this legislation you're talking about is amendmented at pirate web sites which are horrible and wrong and should be stopped. it's not that we oppose the principle, we oppose the fact that all of a sudden you're giving any private part of the claims owner the ability to shut down a web site without any process protection. so you're creating new private rights of action. you're basically shutting down the internet in a very lance armstrong way. look, this year the government -- in a very large way. look, this year the government shut down 50,000 web sites because t

corporations, of course, are cutting coursetheir i.t-- are cutting back their i.t. investments. revenues are down. weak sales are expected to say like that -- stay like that. >> thanks for that. the u.s. postal service continues to pile up losses, $5 billion in the red for the fiscal year, on top of an $8.5 billion loss in 2010. they have been hit by declining revenue for years people have switched to e-mail. they said the situation is so dire that they could run out of money next year unless congress stepped in. the bank of england, as mentioned, has warned that the british economy is grinding a halt, and they're forecasting next year to just 1% -- cutting their forecasts next year to just 1%. the number of -- number of young people out of work is more than 1 million 18 to 22-year-olds. one of the worst performers on the european exchanges, a german tech giant, doubled its income this year. they expect sales to fall by about 5%. they are noticing increasing caution on the part of customers. and you can invest billions and rake in billions when it comes to asia. this german arti

and, you know, with our i.t. grids and our software vender, they really came together and pulled it together for us. it made it possible for us to be able to serve as many couples as we have been. >> so once you're ready, you and your husband to be or wife need to be need to check in here and check in again, ok. are you also going to get married today? >> yeah. >> let's process you one by one. do your license in, exit and re-enter again check in at that desk. >> our wedding is at 3:00. >> as long as we get you in today. >> we're getting married at 2:30. >> don't worry about the time line. we're greeting people at the doorway and either directing them to the services they need on this side which is licensing or the services on this side which is actually getting the ceremony performed. >> this is an opportunity to choose to be a part of history. many times history happens to us, but in this case, you can choose to be a part of it. this is a very historic day and so i'm very, very proud to be here. >> i have been v

that is what the globalization i.t. is all about. you see this a little stories in the newspaper. an october 2010 i was reading the times in the morning and there was a little ad in there. it reported that a nepali telecommunications firm had just started providing her generation three g mobile network services at the summit of mount everest, the world's tallest mountain. the story noted that the service would allow thousands of climbers and truckers who up to the region every year access to high-speed internet and video calls from the summit of mount everest using their mobile phone. can you imagine the number of calls that begin., mongol never believe for a calling from. the hyper connection of the world shows up in other ways as well. another smile i don't in "the new york times" about six months ago reported that grinnell college, a wonderful small liberal arts college in central iowa might mother was later chairman of the board. grenell college, one out of 10 applications came from china. of that committee of 1600 students that one added 10 for the class of 2011 came from chi

>> i.t. we are experiencing a hostile time for people of mexican descent. in the media the idea is generally that it's charged against the couple who do not follow the rule of law and i think that this atmosphere to apply to everyone in place really affects the legal mexican immigrant because we are not sure if they are undocumented or not. so there's a general sense of hostility whether it's related to voting, that's another issue but something parallel to what we see in the 1890's but one of the issues i feel less hostile cents 1993 we've had the birth rate movement to remove the citizenship status of u.s. corn latinos were people whose mothers and fathers are undocumented and this has been going on quite a while and we are talking about u.s.-born children and to the citizen i assume on the counter their is hostile. is a revised worker program a solution to the current immigration issue? >> i think for mexico it's needed to regulate. if -- not just if it is the corporations to take over it because how are you going to ensure people are paid and treated we

. >> they have gone on a hiring spree with i.t. consultants and technicians on the totals are in the millions and millions of dollars. >> reporter: judge gilyard says the money is going to a court computer project years behind schedule and already hundreds of millions of dollars over budget. other judge blames the administrative office of the courts for hiring dozens of consultants. >> they are being carried under contracts with the aoc so they don't have to be reported as employees and they don't report them as employees. >> reporter: the judges say millions of taxpayer dollars are going to outside firms like the black stamp technology group, all-star consulting and assent services group despite state budget cuts and hard freeze on hiring. >> it's incredible because they have over 140 people on staff already responsible for doing i.t. services but they are outsourcing huge numbers of contracts often times well over 100 to $200,000 a year. >> the administrative office of the courts declined to be interviewed on camera for this repo

i graduated from i.t. technical institute. and i had to endure brain surgery while i was awake. i was put in a hospice. while i was a hospice, i used medical cannabis which helped me to survive. i wanted to use this to help others achieve safe access. i have been at every patient advocacy committee meeting and i am proud of the work that we are doing. i also attended the task force meetings this year and i feel that i can use my life experience for this committee. i assisted my vietnam veteran friend at a veterans hospital. the canvas that i brought him helps him with his issues and unfortunately he died on february 22nd this year. there are many others who can benefit from this amazingly effective medicine and they are not receiving it. i hope that you will consider this. thank you. >> thank you. i want to note the correction that this was not to and 10. next, we have leonard watkins who got a chance to speak. is he here today? he did speak at the last meeting so i let him know he did not have to come back. next we have martin all live and then sarah -- next we have martin oliv

is important to separate construction, nonprofit, and i.t contracts. . for construction contracts, there are categories changes go into. these categories include unforeseen site conditions. this can be a construction site that turns out to include unknown utilities or pipes and unexpected locations. and by the way with all the focus on utilities, you know as well as i do that people and companies do not know what is lying underneath even though they put their. second, owner-initiated changes. imagine a contractor discovers the adjacent pipeline is leaking. we ask them to repair that leak. category 3 -- areas in domitian's. construction drawings and specifications for some projects over 1000 pages long -- as much as the city strives for perfection, there are some conflicts, and i agree our goal should be zero mistakes. it is for these reasons that most construction products have a 10% contingency fund. the decision to change the field has to be timely. if not, it could cost the city more money. the longer we delay a project and approvals, the more we will

. >> when the scata system was showing abnormal problems, they called in an i.t.ompany to check out the computer. and in the process of checking out the computer, in other words, the computer logs of the computer, they found i.p. addresses that were located in russia. >> reporter: contacted by cnn, the department of homeland security said it's looking into all of this. but dhs cautions it hasn't reached any conclusions about whether the pump was damaged by hackers or something else. >> joe weiss joins us now along with mark rash who used to lead the justice department's computer crime prosecution unit. let me start with you, first, mark. when you hear this story, do you automatically go to hacking? >> well, that's the first thing you're going to look at, especially when you have this indication that there's been these i.p. addresses or these attacks from a particular address coming from russia. what you start looking at is, did these come from an attack and did these come from a foreign government or a foreign country? >> joe, how is it -- we now know that the fed

remember, i.t. is built on 99.9% always working, and once you have i.b.m. in your organization, to move it? that's a risk that you're not going to have that same reliability. >> reporter: that competitive moat must also come at a fair price. buffett disciples point out their guru won't buy a stock unless the price offers a margin of safety of around 20% to 25%. >> that's where i come back and say, "gee, if he is buying at $170 and that's the average price he bought at," then he's obviously thinking there has to got to be at least $35 or $40 more in the stock at the present time, and that's not priced to perfection, that's priced to opportunity. >> reporter: buffett has long argued technology is too hard to understand and too easy to pick wrong. so why i.b.m.? long-time buffett watchers say the key is big blue's very predictable business. >> it may have raised several eyebrows because it is in the technology area, but when one looks at its very stable and growing cash flows, i think that it is not a surprise at all. >> reporter: at $10.7 billion, buffett's i

>> i.t. think there would be more involvement. we can expect that movement for democracy and we have returned to the peaceful life. -- i think that there would be more involvement. >> how could this change the political dynamic from now until 2014? >> burma will show that it will not be an outcast. this would be a chance for the government to worked closely with the people. >> elections were just held last year and another will be held in four years time in about 2014 after berman chairs the organization, can move forward? >> i think that we would see a change in the election and with the new generation to enjoy politics. >> will aung san suu kyi the outspoken? >> hopefully, i think she might be able to do so. in the past few months, she has been talking with key figures from the government. you might see some -- for her. >> thank you for your insight. you are watching "newsday" on the bbc live from singapore and london. deadline day, protesters camped out in london. they face possible legal action if they don't end their demonstr

now, another great disappointment in i.t. numbers. everyone was already expecting a contraction. this is worse than expected. the flood impact is greater than what we initially thought. also, the fact that the global economic slowdown is taking the hit on the economy. >> a great start to the trading week. asia is up. a lot of this is off the back of the weekend rumors, the weekend reports that the imf had been in talks with italy for a 600 billion euro bailout. the market has denied this. the markets are still hoping. >> thank you very much. thank you. many asian countries have encouraged young workers to abandon the field and flocked to the cities in search of their fortunes. in japan, the trend is reversing. some younger people are now leaving the city streets behind to return to the countryside. >> bright lights, big city. for decades, tokyo has been a draw. now, other asian nations are following suit. for some young japanese, the city is losing its appeal. but millions of others, he cannot find a permanent job. the salaryman lifestyle enjoyed by past generations has passed he

innovation assets we have in i.t., like science, by attack, are superior to those in virginia. they do have a lot more land than we do. i would like to have more land. other than that, there is not a lot i would trade with virginia. they are good people and we are glad to have strong neighbors. >> what are some of the lessons from the 2011 cycle? wins and fet will take into 2012. >> winds and defeats that you will take into 2012. biggest lessons. the biggest lesson is, people are pragmatic. people are not fundamentally ideological and their approach to the balance required to make our economy chug and expand opportunity and create jobs. the lesson in 2011 is, -- and i will speak -- my perspective of why i am here. if you look at kentucky, that was a state that president obama did not win, yet, our candidate won by a huge margin against a long serving senate president. you look at west virginia. again, a state the president did not win, but our candidate prevailed, even after weathering a huge barrage of out of state rga dollars, talking about obamacare, obamacare, why didn't yo

[cheers and applause] i.t. supervisor mar here. thank you. i know supervisor kim is registered and has her staff here, but she does not feel well. but they give farmers than for being here today. i think there may be other supervisors who want to join with you to tell sacramento, stopped making bad decisions. [cheers and applause] you know, this decision that they made to eliminate adult day care not only eliminates in valuable services to a vulnerable population of our city, but it puts added pressure on working families. parents, sons, and daughters who are trying to get to work and need the center is open for the people that they care about. so they can have an income to afford the things that they need to do to support their senior families. that is why this decision is so negative, so bad. and we have to tell them to make better decisions. will you do that with me? [cheers and applause] well, i know that the board of supervisors and the mayor's office put some special money in reserve in the past budget. we balanced it, but we knew this

. >>> pg&e is cutting jobs mainly from the i.t. department.he cuts are already underway and most will come from the san francisco headquarters. most of the workers will have 60 days to hook for another job within the company. >>> apple says it has a software fix for the new iphone 4s that run out of battery. some tech website say that the update also fixes potential security problems for the devices that run on the software introduced with the newest iphone. >> tonight at 5:00, we are digging into the occupyoakland movement including the political ramifications for mayor jean quan. and we'll be there when a group of veterans will march against what they call police brutality against one of their own. >> we are always here for you on ktvu.com and mobile ktvu. thanks for watching. have a great weekend.

our federal government would say, we have massive information -- let us invest in the i.t. infrastructure for better service. we should be there. why can our government be advanced? >> youa been around for awhile. the super committee is due to report about two weeks. what are the chances of any of your recommendations being included? >> the chance of the spectrum is well over 90%. on the other ones, this is my statement about innovation and what is important -- the feature of our country. whether they voted to promoting economic growth, we will see. the odds of them doing something -- will alcee. >> the consumer electronics -- the consumer electronic show is known in vegas. can you give us a preview? >> it attracts people from all around the world. weird to have a larger show that we have had. last year, we had a lot of people introduced great things. it gives you hope and excitement about making a difference. it will be spectacular. i hope you are there. i hope you are there. >> gary shapiro's group is consumer electronics. you can read it at c-span.org. brendan sasso is a

our i.t. department has been patient. we have had a meeting after meeting. we hope to soon upgrade the software. it does not quite meet all of our needs. it does not meet the recommendations, so we have also currently look at new software databases. i have also -- yesterday, we went live with an online database that tracks our projects. we had a lot of moving pieces in our apartment. we were tracking things before in excel, and now we are online. the benefit is not only can our analysts look at the project, but the city attorney can look at them and collaborate. we have also looked at new performance plans. i found that our analysts, rather than be responsible for portfolio of leases and permits, they would each look at a task like collection of security deposits or insurance if things fell through the cracks. now, they are each responsible for a set number of leases and permits from start to finish, and, hopefully, nothing will fall through the cracks. let's see. our activity, as i mentioned, on monday, our new consultant will come in to look at and review
