yourself over the last 30 or 40 years i remember when i was in dental school we had a little place on irving i would go to that was great. a trio with a vocalist on weekends. it was really terrific. not of the quality that you are proposing here, but it was just nice to be able to go there and not the kind of thange that's, you know, huge, loud entertaining thing but the music that's good and it's part of the whole scene. and i think the point was well made that if you have -- you are going to get a quality act, entertainment is going to start at 10:00 at the earliest and has to run landlord 1:00 to make it work because you try to squeeze it into an -- a narrower frame of time, so i'm supportive of what you are asking for here, which is 1:30 but we'll see what the other commissioners have to say. vice president wu: thank you. dd commissioner sugaya? >> yes, i have a question for staff. the business is operating on a class 40 restaurant license, correct? >> that is correct. >> there are words that are

my name is judy irving, and i am the vice president there, and i am speaking to you mainly as a documentary filmmaker. i made a film about the wild parents of telegraph hill. i would like to bring another aspect into this -- the wild parrots of telegraph hill. i would like to bring another aspect into this conversation. the tall mature canapes in other cities, like new york, chicago, and even denver. there are a lot of birds that need tall trees, and to say that planting basically 15 little saplings is going to make up for taking out yet more of our call, mature canopy is disingenuous. there is a huge difference between tall, mature, healthy trees that can be pruned and little saplings in 24-inch boxes. that are going to take decades and decades to get big, so i would ask that you please consider keeping these trees at least until the in addition is settled. this was like the department of public works talking to the department of public works, and with everyone agreeing with each other because they are in the same department. it just does not seem fair. there are three arborist reports on

. >> i think the problem is sometimes you may go down irving street or west portal, you're going for lunch, so you're going into a restaurant and maybe you are going to do your banking at the same time. what happens is you may have a meter for one hour two hours and that may not be enough. it is four hours or longer, at least do not get a ticket. that seems to be the problem. you're getting tickets. if you go a couple streets over, it may be two-hour parking, the it is very hard to get. you have to go two streets over to get four-hour parking. but it is a hike. >> ok. i am holding, and we're working hard on this. i am hoping that there is some technological solution to this. because, as you know, we're changing out all these meters into meters that can not only use your credit card, but you can pay with your cell phone. you would register in and literally almost tapped it or some mid end in a so that the meter tells her cell phone when your time is up, so you get a buzz. we are getting there. there are experience -- experiments going on as we speak. hopefully that technology convenie

this historic location is not far from where washington irving's legendary headless horseman chased ichabod crane. [ horse neighs ] >> aah! >> we are in the midst of "sleepy hollow" country. this is the home of the american heritage of halloween, and we've always had fantastic halloween events in this area, and this is probably one of the best. >> more than 4,000 pumpkins are used to create all sorts of clever and spooky scenes. for some displays, artificial pumpkins are needed, but most are real. we are in front of our jurassic park installation, where we have giant, life-size dinosaurs that are constructed of, in some cases, more than a hundred pumpkins. we sketch them from anatomy books and create them so that they're accurate. each pumpkin represents a specific bone on the dinosaur. >> everywhere you walk, you see imagination at work. >> i think this is definitely one of our most impressive exhibits. this is a huge spider web -- 50 foot around -- and you've got a mother spider on the web, you've got little baby spiders along the ground, and it's just a really fantastic arachnoid exhibit

like irv, it can be done without a runoff, but it can be done with the run of. those are different qualitative decisions. it also has other additional benefits. for example, you could always vote your favorite, even under the most to check of instances, and the has less physical ballot space, which will cut down on costs of what you usually need, and it will only find the center of the constituent of the spectrum that your constituency is in. besides the qualitative reasonings, we also have quantitative ones. this was developed by princeton math ph.d., warren smith, but essentially like a golf score where lower is better. it measures how satisfied the voters are with the system. the best in storm runoff voting. i advocate to get in amend. think very much. >>hank you very much. >> richard winger. i i hav i have been a poll worker for years. they work for very low money. there is a problem that these core of people will get exhausted, especially under the proposal in that gubernatorial years. we would have elections in june and september and november, and it is no

as the president of a small district business that runs from 19 to 27 avenue and irving street with 127 small businesses, we think things considered for this coming budget, including changes to the payroll tax, i would urge city government to consider the fact that investing in small business and allowing small businesses to flourish which is incredibly difficult in san francisco is something that needs to be given a lot of thought. small businesses in san francisco represent a lot of san francisco's individuality. an expression as much as a mural on the wall or a museum. it is how residents who live and work your give you pieces of themselves that keep this place individual. that is why we do not have a ton of chain stores. the city also puts us at a competitive disadvantage by virtue of the additional fees and taxes we pay. we are at the mercy of being 15% to 20% higher priced across the bay etc.. i would like to point out because it i am also a city under myself. the problem is it is a little bit short-sighted the way the city spends its money. by spending money locally, by san franc

schools in america is greater than it was in 1954 if you look at the nation as a whole and particular irving schools. >> it's very hard to measure. i would think since then, if you were studying that, the legislatures all around the country are more fairly reflect the people of the state. reflect the cities. they are not dominated by rural interests the way they were before. my guess is that baker versus car had a broad impact around the country. it says the districts should represent the people. if the people live in the cities, there should be more representatives in the city and suburbs, not people representing the state legislature. represents people in the rural district. i think it had a big impact. >> we have time for a couple more, i think. line up. >> hi. we didn't see any specific fallout from the narrower clause. are there any cases on the horizon where the courts will be able to put that into action and if so, where do you think they'll come out? >> it's a good question for one of my colleagues here. my sense is that the commerce clause holding, if it is holding, there's a lot of

let's ask bill irving who manages.ith us. >> pleasure to be here. >> the first thing i want to ask you. >> what do you make of the forecast? >> i think it's entirely possible. we already have negative yields on many treasury securities. at this point i would say. >> i'm sorry? >> does this sort of put a floor under -- support the trade that we have been working on all along. corporate bonds and high yields? >> i don't know that it's necessarily supportive of lows trades. it has been about the most effective diversifier against the equity component of the overall portfolio. they still make sense. >> brian kelly? got a question? >> part of the treasury trade is that there are fewer and fewer safe assets out there. are you seeing new buyers coming in that may have been buying european bonds coming into the us strezy markets? >> i think there have been flows from the other types of bonds. >> i would just ask this seems to be like a one way trade. if you were look iing not on yields with total returns. >> just consider, the

irv was one of johnson's aides and he left "the on education and welfare and civil rights. he was the commissioner of the fcc, the federal communications commission and president and ceo of the public broadcasting system and now president and ceo of the society for arts in palm beach. if you ever go to palm beach, you should look him up. that's an incredible operation you've got down there. senator george mcgovern, my god. a world war ii bomber pilot who received the distinguished flying cross for his heroism. a history teacher, member of the house, elected senator in 1962. opposed the war in vietnam vigorously. the democratic candidate for president in 1972. actually i got to know him best -- i was the counsel for the democratic party then, and george call immediate one day and from south dakota. >> his vice presidential candidate, john eagleton, got into trouble. he said how do you change the candidate for vice president. i said, i don't know. he said, you better find out, you're my lawyer. he left the senate, stayed in the senate in 1980, he's done lots of work for food

we have to focus on the irvs and ignore the craziness that's out there. >> jennifer: she's so good, folkssten to her. i have to get back to him for a moment. he's like this flaming wildman out there. i just have to ask you he seems to be taking a page from the playbook of georgia senator saxby chambliss who won his seat in part by convincing voters in georgia that his opponent, cleeland, who was a vietnam vet and a triple amputee that he was not a patriot. let's take a look at an ad from that campaign. >> as america phases terrorists a, max cleland runs television ads claiming he has the courage to lead. he says he supports president bush at every opportunity. but that's not not the truth. >> i know you're focusing on the district but seriously just between you and i do you worry that this weird tactic of attacking a war hero would work like it did in georgia or are you hearing from people in your district that that's absolutely not where they are? >> well, the people in the district are not there. they don't believe it. they will not support it. but you know, mr. walsh is also getting tr

and the great, you know, the great experience has been that i'm now actually john irving's editor. and it's been one of the best experiences of my life. >> with well, mr. karp, as a former newspaper reporter you've probably got a book in you, right? >> i don't know. when i was a newspaper reporter, i was -- one of my last stories is i was sent to cover a garbage dump that was on fire, so i think maybe i got out at the right time. >> morgan entrekin, how did you get into the publishing realm? >> i got into publish anything 977. i always say that i was at school in between the hippies and t yuppies so that just getting through school was an accomplishment. i was at stanford, and stanford has always had a great writers' program. and some of the people that were there at the time when i was there, raymond carver, richard hugo, max crawford, none of them could get published. and one of them told me about the publishing graduate course at radcliffe, now columbia, and it sort of opened my eyes to this whole world. i grew up in middleton, you don't really grow up thinking about where books
