my name is james thomas. i'm a member of the 10-1 and also a city employee for 30 years and a member of kaiser. over the past 4 years, folks in san francisco have furloughs and wage decreases. yet, kaiser with 40 percent of the large group market continues to want in a market for goods and services that none of us can do without. as one of hhf commissioners, kaiser is simply refusing to negotiate based on an hhf analyst showing the response to our utilization to increase rates and raise fees. the city should turn the tables by approaching a 2014 equal with the board approve and take back to kaiser, take it or leave it. >> thank you very much. next speaker, bobby, you are here already. we do have rebecca king and emma and joe bear, and thomas and ed and suzanna blang. >> hi. my name is brenda and i'm a city employee. i'm here because i'm the angry employee, i'm representing the angry employee because we keep making concession after concession and we see the city an allowing others to take take take and you don

he is survived by five sons, michael, stephen, thomas, james, and loyal and devoted friend to those who will miss his wit and charm. [speaker not understood]. the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor farrell. supervisor kim. >> thank you. many of you probably read that last week we made an exciting announcement that the market which will be a 22,000 square foot food emporium will be moving into 1355 market street. the old san francisco mart on ninth and market street. this is quite exciting because this will be the first full-service grocery store in the mid-market tenderloin area and the market will offer local san francisco vendors an opportunity to showcase and sell locally made food products and promote local -- our local san francisco maker sector to be a priority when we think about the revitalization of central market. long before over the last year and a half, our office was thinking about what it means to ensure stabilization in this neighborhood as we anticipate thousands of new residents and work he who will be moving in. currently we see the construction of two new buildi

the churches and in fact when james madison became president he was the third president united states it was. no use the fourth president as george washington john adams thomas jefferson james madison and during the george washington administration washington passed legislation that gave money to poor houses for the poor in d.c. and during the during the the madison presidency congress changed that to give the money to the churches in d.c. to give to the poor people and that was his first veto that was madison's for his veto he was of it so they were both afraid of it for very different reasons our third question comes from mike in massachusetts the video question on decriminalizing. mike from massachusetts state where we decriminalize possession of under an ounce of marijuana. in my opinion decriminalization of the worst of both worlds what's needed is full blown legalization taxation. without a legal supply chain the criminal element is there and with the cruel zation it gets stronger because the police. have essentially disregarded the substance as something to worry about in most areas and the c.d.o. image has gotten stronger rather than going away and i

norman mail letter, james baldwin, dylan thomas, william gaddis, honest to god i could read the list for another 20 minutes they're all in the village at the same time in in the late 40's through the 50's. once again because they're all in the really small space. nobody else is paying much attention to them. uptown was not looking at abstract expressionist art. uptown was not reading new york school poets. they were their own audience for quite a while until pollack becomes a superstar and everything explodes after that. it was what kenneth koch, one. poets in the village called, an atmosphere that was busy with collaboration. if you were an artist, your poet friend would write copy for your catalog. you would draw the drawing for his poetry book. the both of you would work together to create a play and maybe everybody be in your play. if you were making a film everybody had to be in your film and build sets and do acting, build costumes. because they were doing some of this collaborating they created tons and tons and tons of work. absolutely goes against what was the mainstream att

1776 now if we go out there to wilkes-barre now, do you think we can find george washington, thomas jefferson, james madison, george mason, john marshall and patrick henry? we are not going to find them. now on some theoretical level, they, are there. that is human beings with the capacity for leadership, are there, but the situation doesn't permit the group to rise to the surface. and so the question is why did the situation accessed in 1776? now there is an answer to this after arnold, which is that great leadership only emerges during times of great crisis and this makes sense the pressure the crisis creates. yet we can all think of examples where there is a great crisis and there is no leadership like now. [laughter] in the coming of world war i and europe. so, was a special you can't say there was something special in the water back there then. you can't say god look down upon the american colonies and bless them. i mean, supernatural explanations are not admitted even if he wore an angel local you are not allowed to use those in a historical conversation. i don't know whether i have a good ans

dan, thomas jefferson and james madison, we are not conjuring up those images, are we?exactly. no, we are not. >> this was tradition first debate which is usually the most cordial. they have the homestead where the virginia elites gather to hear their then distinguished gentleman running for governor. this was pretty tough. >> anybody who has been following all of the prelude to this first debate knew this was not going to be a positive event. both sides have been tearing down the other from day one, in part, because neither candidate has a lot of positive that they are able to say about themselves. >> margie, you've been involved in many war campaigns and i'm sure that is what this one is. it seems they are each going to basically tear apart the other one and see what is left standing come election day. >> mcauliffe is outspending his opponent and has more money raised. and he is leading in the polls. cuc cuccinelly says i still feel this way and feel these horrible offensive about gay people that alienate business. they say it doesn't matter what my views are. it's ha

in a letter between two virginians in 1798, james madison explained to thomas jefferson, "the constitution supposes what the history of all governments demonstrates, that the executive is the branch most interested in war and most prone to it. it is accordingly, with studied care, vested the question of war in the legislature." madison's definitive statement notwithstanding the intervening history has been anything but definitive. academics and public officials have advanced differing interpretations of the constitutional division of power. there's no clear historical precedent in which all agree that the legislative and executive branches have exercised those powers in a consistent and accepted way, and the courts have not provided clear guidance to settle war powers questions. some facts, however, are very clear. the united states congress has only formally declare war five times. in many othe other instances, congress has taken steps to authorize support or fund military action or presidents have initiated military action without prior approval from congress. congress supposed 40 years

interesting about some of the early founding fathers, you had thomas jefferson, virginia arguably is his entire presidential library. jamesison did something similar in many years. there never was that sense with washington. as you've guided through this, did he want some sort of scholarship done or about the founding? what did he want his papers to be housed? >> in a very real since 214 years later, almost 214 years later we're fulfilling his wish. late in his life he remarked in a letter to his friend, i have but one house to build to house my military, civilian and government papers. they are voluminous. particular understanding fashion he said, they might be of interest. so he clearly had it on his mind. of course when he died in 1799 and martha shortly thereafter by the terms of the will most of his documents were then spread to relatives of the two of them. >> one of my frustrations, i have this odd goal -- other people might have an odd goal. i want to read one definitive biography of the presidents in the 20s if there is one. you can't sit here and point to the great washington biography. it's almost as if you fin

--a dissent, a judge said james verizon has vowed to go to prison rather than testify and to bring his appeal before the supreme court. the trail blazing journalist helen thomas has died at the age of 92. widely known as the dean of the white house press corps, helen thomas became the first woman assigned to avoid those -- to the white house full time when she began to cover the kennedy administration. she went on to cover every president since until controversial comments about the israeli-palestine to to ration forced her to retire. she challenged the administration on issues including the iraq war and its massive civilian toll, a threat of attacks on iran, the refusal to sign a cluster bomb treaty, the killings of afghanistan civilians, and its support of israel. in 2007, and george to be a bush reverted to a tradition he long ignored, giving thomas the first question. >> i would be glad to answer a few questions, starting with ms. thomas. >> you can end it today. 2 million iraqis have fled the country.

thomas jefferson won the johnion of 1800 over adams, and brought james and the newadison to capital city in 1801 so that james could be his secretary of state. accurate to say that doll ye served jerch son as his lady. his plan was to limit society in keep women outto of it. in spite of, or perhaps because. policy, thes madison's house on f street became the social and political center of the city and the government. so when the madisons came to the executive mansion in 1809, dolley had been building her bases and her network for eight years. and that's a good thing. because one could almost twoacterize james madison's terms with a theme of our panel crisis."e and his presidency was full of them. james' primary political goal was unity in all forms and contexts. beenurse, unity had always a goal and a concern. tom the first decision declare independence, all through the revolution and certainly after, new americans worried whether the republic would hold together whether united states.a this concern became more, not decades went by and with ample reason. administration, james and dolley

alliances such as thomas nelson is zero so publishing imprints in the uk's main, australia, new zealand and singapore. a well-qualified panel to talk about this issue. i want to start with james mcquivey and the base eager to book publishers today is disrupt thyself. >> absolutely. in fact come he opened the session asking whether or not it was the the disrupt or a defender of publishing. i would contest the idea that it's either/or. disruption is the best defense for publishing and self-publishing is turning out to be a potential bone for publishers because you can sit there and watch people market themselves, share their ideas come and see things gather and then make your offer. at that point where the risk is taken out, the market has been though. you're not going how much money to spend to build in a way as in the modern world. in fact, this is part of the best defense of the publishing world to my mind. and all the industries that work with, turns out digital disruption is a better friend than a when all is said and done. >> it may not feel that way too a lot of people in publishing. perhaps we should go explain why that would be the case. what is there to make friends w

james monteith. there are two in the cemetery. one being theodore roosevelt dinner and those to come i just wanted to point out our wonderful and the process. >> guest: thank you for that, sir. >> host: thomaswhat was your service and what do? >> caller: we got off very light. but i was stationed in the pacific. >> guest: we have had some callers calling in. >> host: in the guns at last light, you write about this a little bit. you have some figures here that i just want to share. 143 death penalties were imposed on gis, most for murder or rape. a severely disproportionate number fell on black soldiers, often after dubious due process. seventy executions took place in europe, including several that were public. >> guest: yes, and i think that you find in general that the racism that was prevalent in many institutions in the united states in the 1940s certainly can be found in the armed forces. and the disproportionate punishment that was ferreted out to american black soldiers was something that reflected prejudices towards them and the lack of counsel that they often did not receive. you know, it extends all the way to the death penalty. i don't remember number of black american soldiers w

thomas jefferson was not actually a fan of patents. he didn't like them very much. he didn't really want patents to be issued. he bowed to pressure by james madison and others. and the patenting of entities that we typically don't think of as patentable, especially things like parts of our bodies, especially things like medications that we need to live has always been hotly contested, but the people who had issues with it tended not to be people in power. they tended not to be corporations who are going to profit from them. so although there was always that tension, gradually through the laws this friendliness towards patents by people who were going to profit from them triumphed. and now we have a medical system that viewed the patent as common place, as something that's expected. i'm not sure if i addressed your question fully, but i think that there is a tension there, and i also think that as we were discussing earlier in the green room, we have some recent good news in that the patents on breast cancer genes that were held by -- [inaudible] have recently been struck down. i think that's a move in the right direction. the mythology, t

thomas jefferson won the election of 1800 over john adams, and brought james and dolly madison to the new capital city in 1801 so that james could be his secretary of state. it is not accurate to say that dolley served jefferson as his first lady. his plan was to limit society in washington and to keep women out of it. in spite of, or perhaps because of jefferson's policy, the madison's house on f street became the social and political center of the city and the government. so when the madisons came to the executive mansion in 1809, dolly had been building her bases and her network for eight years. and that's a good thing. because one could almost characterize james madison's two terms with a theme of our panel "challenge and crisis." his presidency was full of them. james' primary political goal was unity in all forms and contexts. of course, unity had always been a goal and a concern. from the first decision to declare independence, all through the revolution and certainly after, new americans worried whether the republic would hold together whether there would be a united states. t

james comey who was this morning before the senate judiciary committee and who i believe will enjoy broad bipartisan support as the next f.b.i. director. we have other more controversial nominees like thomasez to the department of labor. that's in part due to his activities as head of the civil rights division of the justice department where he was harshly criticized by the inspector general for politicizing that what should be a nonpolitical position, enforcing the civil rights laws of the united states. so we're going to have plenty to talk about and a lot to do. but this should not be used as an excuse by the majority leader to break his word when it comes to changing the senate rules through this nuclear option process. that would be a disservice to the country. it would certainly damage irreparably the united states senate as a deliberative body. it would poison the well when we need to work together as much as we can to try to get many other important things done. and it would be extremely shortsighted, because majorities can be fleeting. and those who are the majority today will find themselves in the minority in the future. and i think that recognition would caution prudence and t
