and i would like to say that we have continued to work out of the intern police commission rules established for the police commission. and on a personal note i will say that i have met many of the patrol special officers. i know many of them. they have been extremely professional with me and courteous. if there is anything that i can say in my position that has caused frustration for me it is the diligence in getting the paperwork back. they are required to supply a certain period of time with their updated insurances for both workers' comp, liability insurance and their employee list. some of them have been less than diligent. i have to chase after them to get that information. i have received telephone calls asking for extensions. i have been bending over backwards to show that we are being responsive to their needs. >> lieutenant, how many patrol special officers do we have that are active in san francisco today? >> i show 27 patrol officers. 18 assistants and 19 patrol special beat owners. >> how many total do we have? >> 27. >> first of all, good to see you lieutenant. the last time we

i'm very glad that human rights council has decided to establish an international, independent, and impartial commissioninquiry, and they will submit their report by mid june. so i think this is the way forward, establishment of responsibility, punishing responsible but not threatening to others. i think this is the only way for this rich country to recover and to have coffee and croissants instead of suffering. >> we appreciate your time. thank you for joining us. the united nations assistant secretary-general for human rights. well, to find out more about the conflict in ivory coast, you can help to our website where you'll find the latest news and analysis, including a question and answer section explaining what the fighting is about and who is fighting for what cause, and indeed what is the future. and that does indeed remain uncertain, but news from our correspondent there on the ground. the libyan rebel leader accused nato of acting too slowly against colonel qaddafi's forces leaving people in misrata facing possible extermination. nato says air strikes reduced the government's capabilities by nea

keep in mind our bombs began dropping even before the united nations international commission of inquiry could verify allegations of murder of noncombatant civilians by the gaddafi regime. the administration deliberately avoided coming to congress and furthermore rejects the principle that congrs has any le in this matter. yesterday learned that the administration would forge ahead with military action even if congress passed a resolution constraining the mission. this is a clear and arrogant violation of our constitution. even a war launched ostensibly for humatarian reasons is still a war. and only congress can declare war. mr. speaker, we saw in the president's address to the nation on march 28 how mismatched elements are being hastily stitched together io a new war doctrine. let's review them. number one, an executive privilege toage war. number two, war based on verbal threatses. number three, humanitarian war. number four, preemptive war. number five, unilateral war. number six, war for regime change. number seven, war against a nation whose government this administration determine

international trade commission estimates that america's economic output will grow by somewhere between our last nine trading agreements combined. that may give you a couple of local examples of the anticipated benefit from chorus. one from virginia and the other one from maryland. we go around the country and we move these. in the last few years, electronic exports from virginia to korea have averaged about $50 million per year and one of the things that chorus will do is provide a competitive boost to those exporters by eliminating almost all tariffs, all tariffs and electronics not already covered by the information technology agreement. and there will also be benefits from maryland. just to give an example between 2008 and 2010, maryland businesses exported an average of $75 million annually in chemicals and related products to korea. twyla chorus will move remove the stairs from the products, tariffs that today in some cases are almost 50%, and thereby making u.s. exports more affordable for koreans to buy. but at the end of the day, let me just emphasize the one benefit that we be

there is a recognition with the international commission of agricultural, sustainable agriculture, have the privilege of serving on that. it recognizes the world -- the choices that we make with respect to our food supply not only increases security but brings the planet back into balance with respect to sequestering carbon. with respect to blue water use and many of the aspects that are most important. and after that full balance sheet become so critical, i always say it will be lively and those federal statistical agencies, where the important action is going to occur. >> you are talking about a group of producers they were small and large scale coming together and that you had never seen them come together before. why was that? >> as these efforts have matured, we've come to understand that your progress is going to require some changes all will not win at the same time or in the same way. i think this first generation of chefs have occurred with win, win, win. we're now getting to a place where it is possible -- certainly it the cost of some of these benchmarking tolls and also reap

the international trade commission has estimated that this agreement will improve our bilateral trade with korea by $3.3 billion. this is not an agreement that will cost us u.s. jobs. from my experience in the private sector, security is not about guns. security is not about bombs. security is about people. at the morgue congress you have, the more trade you have, the more connections between people, between business persons and workers in both countries. in terms of the data, we disagree. the itc numbers that i have pointed disagreements increasing the u.s. trade balance. >> sadly, i also disagree with the foundation of your question. you cannot have it both ways. is not both. i would argue that regardless of how valuable this agreement is, this agreement will increase u.s. exports and nets u.s. jobs -- nets u.s. jobs. we negotiated this agreement with a good friend and a good ally and for one reason or another, it is still languishing without congressional approval. bill year to do that with a friend and an allied does send a message -- failure to do that with a friend and an allied

conference committee, a body that includes the health commission and leaders of laguna honda and san francisco general hospital. through revisions made of the internal policy, the administrative code requirement that the health commission must approve all expenditures was effectively eliminated. according to laguna honda's former cfo, six years ago, separate somesubaccounts were created in the city under the gift fund to receive donations from staff and other agencies which paid for staff training events and acknowledgement gifts. by treating the subaccounts, for the benefit of patient only, laguna honda increase the perception that patient and were being misused. as previously discussed, this was rectified at laguna honda as of july 1, 2010. that came about after the limited review performed by the comptroller's office. supervisor campos: on that point, in your presentation, there is a line item that included subaccount man for patients benefit. what are the kinds of things that that moneys are intended for patients for are being sent it on for line item? >> i'm sorry, i am confused. supervisor campos: or donation was intended for the benefit of a

international... the interim haitian reconstruction commission which, you know, is really a very powerful mixed haitianernational pod di but it is making decisions. how... martelly's got the challenge of trying to negotiate a little more sovereign space, frankly. part of his campaign shtick was that we'll get haitians to stand up. he's going to have to gain confidence within the international community first. one of the things that might be very important is the fact that we are on about the first anniversary of the donors conference at the u.n. last year where $9 or $10 billion were pledged over five years. very little of that has been disbursed so far, as nicole eluded to. but he's going to have to gain confidence and one way is perhaps to position... the position he will take on the plans that were approved and endorsed by the international community a year ago upon which they pledged? so what will his issues be on manufacturing, tourism? support of the actual economy, decentralization of the economies through supporting growth polls outside of port-au-prince these will be strong indicators to see h
