it would seem the taxes an area where the interface with the public could readily happened between those departments or department representatives, and also from within. >> i will be starting that process next week with the demo and the entire pack community. commissioner lee i ame: i am also disappointed to hear that will take two years to go live. to propose these stages? -- who proposed these stages? is this dbi? >> it was the city, dbi, and excelia. commissioner lee: what do you feel about these deadlines. do you feel they are could deadlines? >> yes, i think it is laid out well. this is our opportunity to do the things right, to show their community how valuable this is. we want to make sure it is quality. once again, if we can move forward more quickly, we definitely will. >> commissioner lee: i understand you will want to do quality work, but we need to move things along quicker. we need to get something running, it may be bareboned system to get the system running, and then maybe adding on improvements as you go, and maybe in two years' time it would be perfect, but i would like

they changed the interface. the team went in a little bunker and i had to go get one of the team members out of the psych ward it got so crazy. >> that rings true to everything we ever heard, read about him, stories that have been told all this week. but for small business owners, too, he's just a real inspiration. because, he's so passionate. he cared so much. he saw what nobody else saw and then made it happen. which is what entrepreneurs do. >> you know, you use the phrase tireless innovation. and i think that is such a great phrase. and i think that's something small business owners can take from steep jobs. he was tireless. he always wanted to improve his product. products. he wanted to enhance them, it wasn't just creative product and then you're done with it. >> if small business people would do what he did fearlessly, which is to become so committed to their vision that they won't let the world change it, and that was key to steve. that's what made him so great. >> cash is the life blood of any business.

and, in fact, they both kind of stole an idea from xerox park about the whole graphical user interface. so these were nasty things that people said about -- we all say things we regret. i think they had tremendous respect for each other. >> i think we learn about intimidation, these tactics -- >> do you think? >> yeah, to intimidate the people out there. so jobs was also quoted as saying about iphone's biggest rival, the android, saying i will spend my last dying breath if i need to, and spend every penny of apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong. i am going to destroy android, because it's a stolen product, i'm willing to go thermo neek lear war on this. and he also said it was a rip off of the macintosh model. how easy was it to grab the market share that he got? >> well, see, this is the genius of apple and steve jobs. there were not a lot of original ideas. and the original idea may exist as a 10% what have you come up with.

a vertical, syncopated, interface, blah, blah, blah. the -- the actuality, i'm sure, is driven by the numbers crunching and not by some higher idea of what should happen there. i notice that there is -- i know that there are also three other letters that were delivered before 9:30 this morning that should also be from residents of the building stating opposition to this new permit. thank you. president olague: is there additional public comment on this item? >> i live at 1735, which is kind of diagonal from the building. there are several things. i know that the development company says that they notified people in the neighborhood of this project. however, the majority of the people in my neighborhood knew nothing about it and within two days, we were able to collect 51 letters of opposition to this project. and these people then nothing about it. i am sure if we continued, we would get more. i think the architecture is like a las vegas albatross. it looks like a glitzy, mirrored, black building with metal. it sounds horrible. i don't

i probably interface with the police department every week because with such an incredible need from our police officers in our district, ranging from south beach to the tender line to the intermission. -- to the tenderloin to the inner mission. i want to see our officers on the street, walking the beat, and i want our small business owners to know who they are. i think that alone creates an atmosphere of safety that is really important. i'm really excited about the substation coming up to 63. i think we need to continue to provide social services in our district. it has to be a partnership with sfpd. >> what about community courts? supervisor kim: i visited the court it was modeled after, which is the red hook court in brooklyn. the judge will visit the apartments or the locations talked about in the case and he has evolved this relationship of trust with the neighborhood that think is really positive. i think we are not there yet, here in san francisco. i am not sure if that is a time issue or the tenderloin is a different type of neighborhood then -- than red hook. i think we need

there had been some issues with these signals, both from what is on the ground in the interface on the train. it had about a 10% failure rate. we're working with our signal shop on the other side of the agency, and we have been able to work together to get a clear picture of when the failures occurred, get on them faster, and we have made significant progress. the system is much more reliable. which means the trains go a little bit faster. going forward in terms of what we expect to see -- i am sorry. we have hired 13 supervisors better training right now. that is a very important. there will be out on the line, as well as some in the line management center. this may seem insignificant, but when you look at the causes of delays, for example, you have three lines, n, j, and f, and they all pull out over the j line right of way. so we will look at the distribution of pull outs between mme on third street and green. we will start to move a portion of the f line over to mme. and putting some others over as well. our whole approach of using the facility between green and mme has got to get

when i started to interface with the mental health profession and be given diagnoses and medications to contain that fire inside of me, it both felt like a huge relief and like it had the power to extinguish that fire, which was terrifying. no one ever told me before i started taking zyprexa or lithium, that if i stopped it, i would have severe withdrawal and psychotic symptoms. but it actually turns out that a lot of these medications, when you stop taking them, trigger in you the withdrawal symptoms that look like the craziness. a lot of people get put on meds at one point in their life, and then when they try to go off them, they're like, "oh my god, i really am insane." there's this fundamental impulse either toward suppressing our traumas by medicating the symptoms of them away, or "facing down our traumas," by delving straight into the teeth of whatever our childhood beasts are. there's not a lot of focus on what is in the middle, what does it mean to acknowledge the way that the past has been a formative thing in our lives, without reliving the past over and over. mental illne

. >> we will have certain interfaces. will our equipment and current technical capability be sufficient to run this system, or do we need some server upgrades that we know are really reaching their life cycle use, will we need to really implement that also? >> there are two parts to the question. i will address the server question first. the contract between excelia and the city is we will provide all the infrastructure for you. all of this server capabilities, everything is done through us. very similar to what you see with salesforce.com and other vendors to twho sell use softwa. as far as the technical capability, part of the contract is to provide training to staff to empower them with the capability so they can manage the system, so our trainers from our company will come in and teach them how to maintain the system, so that when we leave it will be empowered to basically take care of it themselves. commissioner lee: could you mention what you did for do or new york and other cities? >> we have an implementation goin
