our next speaker is john paul scott, he's a licensed california architect and the deputy director of physical access for the san francisco mayor's office and he's responsible for the ada compliance and building plan for buildings and facilities. john paul. >> i would like to tell you a few things about our office, the mayor's office on disability. and first off we are not responsible for yellow, but it's required by state law. our offices also is responsible for the ada transition plan for curve ramps and sidewalks for the public right of -of-way. and we published this plan with the department of public works and it's in the 10-year capital plan and this was a process and resolution by the board of supervisors and signed by the mayor and we must plan for the future in an organized way. and the transition plan for curb ramps and sidewalks, identifies 15,000 curb ramps that are missing or need repair, and a potential 16 ,000 more that we haven't surveyed yet that probably need replacement or installation, because there is nothing there. this commitment is $78.9 million for curb ramps fo

and then i think there's also the john scott vocal school that provides vocal training and coaching services also on 965 mission. and i am asking myself as to whether or not this particular clustering of potential youth-related services shouldn't be addressed first. and supervisor kim and have both picked up the issue of overconcentration as it starts to become almost like an unabling element in the south of market community and i am quoting here supervisor macarini who says that the regulations have worked well but amendments may be necessary to offset any disproportionate impact and is getting what we have talked about in policy. and supervisor kim put out a note saying it's not to say we do not support medical marijuana, which we obviously all do, but we are talking about a large swath in a neighborhood where we want to prevent clustering. i have enough policy issues and i encourage us not in tonight but to not really rush to approving this and really take a second look at the distribution of youth-related facilities nearby and al talk with the supervisors to resolve the issue of overclus

. >> john scott here, i would have to say that the disabled community prefers the bulbs out and the parked cars and overgrown plant material obscures that person from the driver. and secondly, the bulb out serves a purpose to shorten the distance across the street. and getting down a curb ramp, a person has to pause and be careful and back up to the gutter, and there is a time delay and a distraction for the wheelchair person or visual impairment. and there is that delay before the intersection. and those conditions are not factored into timing of pedestrian crossing signals. and bulbs out have a great benefit for people with disabilities and that's one of those principles in universal design where it benefits safety and functionality. >> last question. >> quickly, if i can add to that caltran's bulb out. and we heard about concerns for high hits when pedestrians are standing on bulb's outs and large vehicles clipping pedestrians on the upper half of their bodies when they stand there and that high hit issue is another. >> and before that, david. >> i didn't see ellen's slide of the widen

scott walker of wisconsin, john kasich of ohio, mitch daniels of indiana, corvit of pennsylvania, as much as i sometimes hate him, rick scott of lorida, and the legislative leaderships in ohio and tennessee. they are paving the way for us to the future. so between what they are doing, you get control of education, and we are going to give them control of medicaid, you know what that equals? the 10th amendment. it gives the states back their ower. it's 3/4 of their budget in those two programs combined. and we're taking the power away from the unions over the schools, and the feds over the health care system and being governor of a state will now mean something. then wecome to act three. that's the biggy. that's going to be the budget for the year 2012. now the debate will start now. but it'll get real serious over the summer. everybody is going to say you are going to shut down the government in order to get rid of obama's programs. and i say again what do you have to shut the government down for? you don't want the individual mandate enforcement that requires everybody to buy health

that dramatically cut the collective bargaining rights of public workers like scott walker in wisconsin republican governor john kasich has claimed all along that it's not about union busting. in fact, here's what he said earlier this month. >> this is not an attack on you. this is not a political operation. i could care about the politic. >> really. to prove that point, this morning kasich sent out a fund raising e-mail claiming victory. the legislation, quote, strips power from the union leaders. then kasich asked for donations to help, the quote, ongoing efforts. the measure cuts health care, pension, and sick time from all public workers. they don't like what's happening. it also prohibits workers from striking. that's a big one. the former fox news host previously said he understood the real life implications. >> the day we sign it's not going to be some, you know, i don't anticipate some big deal because this is hard for people. and anything that's hard i want to be respectful of other people's feelings. >> so after plugging the signing ceremony on twitter just hours ago, kasich signed the bill into law.

you see the current popularity of john kasich and scott walker.democrats have done a good job of labeling everything that is unpopular as being tea party. it is not clear to me that there is any leader of the tea party. many people would like tothemsea party. >> there is a natural factor behind some of these polls. it is difficult to sustain eager ness and happiness to support any movement. i was in -- eagerness and happiness to support any movement. i was in to sign and a number of people remarked that it is about the ability to keep things going. whether they are, these tea partiers, they are working really hard. they are holding down full-time jobs at the same time. to some extent, it can get tiring after a while. the momentum can be lost. a lot of what happens in washington and in the political process has to do with momentum he is one of my biggest concerns with bowles-simpson -- and i worked on it -- is that i was concerned we have lost the momentum. there was an opportunity to grab ahold of the recommendations and run with them. there was a

are unpopular in the country and i come back to the state level you see in the popularity of john casic and scottand the other -- even governor christie go down as they've had to deal with issues in their own states. and inevitably democrats do a pretty good job of labeling everything that's unpopular as being tea party. but my own view is that it's not linked to these individuals who are trying to run to the head of the parade, if you will. i mean, that's not clear to me that there is any leader of the tea party but many people would like to make themselves the leader of the tea party. >> i'd just add that i think there's a natural factor behind some of these polls in the sense that it's difficult to sustain an eagerness and happiness and support in any movement, in any party. i was out in arizona a couple months ago with a tea party patriot at a conference that they had organized. and a number of people remarked that one of -- from the tea party perspective, one of their concerns is the ability to keep things going. i mean, it's just -- i mean, people are working -- those, whoever they are, the

john swartz and sara lacy of tech crunch this week on "press: here." >> good morning, everyone. this show is about entrepreneurship and the american dream. i'm scott mcgrew. we are talking often with high tech companies like netflix or fab, household names. today we have the head of a company you have likely never heard of. it's not high tech, but household, very much so. >> i'm chairman and ceo of mia corporation, the largest cookwear company in the united states. >> reporter: stanley chang is the king of cookwear. that's what his newspaper the san francisco chronicle calls him. you may not have heard of meyer buttens chas are you have the products in your kitchen. pots and pans mostly. familiar brands like kitchen aid and circulon, rachael ray, all passed through this distribution center in fairfield, california. shipped in from factories in china and italy. at 170,000 pans a day every day, meyer is not just the largest cookwear manufacturer in america. it's one of the largest manufacturers of anything in the entire world. and the chinese-born chang started it himself in hong kong. shortly before the british handed the colony back to the chinese

. >> scott byrne stain. between john'suestion about what local government can do in your observation about the rich got the revenues and the poor got subprime mortgages, the data shows that beckon 2008 when gas prices by eight, foreclosures followed six to nine months later. especially concentrated in the places that were most automobile-depended. we can expect to see that again as we are at the $5 a gallon gas raid. perhaps increasing spatially efficiency is more durable on the urban level. in studying the recovery act data, those regions that spent their money on mass transit created twice as many jobs for dollars spent using the same data bases those who spent their money on roads and highways. maybe those places were more shovel ready. i'm wondering if that is not part of the solution, to make spatial efficiency part of that strategy. the economic cluster projects applying for the administration grant money right now, we have been talking to, they had -- they do not be -- they do not seem to be connected to the spatial

john kasich handle this, it's been interesting. i felt like he did try to learn pr lessons from scott walker.really toned it down, did not take a front and center role. but boy, you get this on the ballot in november, this is ohio, this is our media environment. this will become -- this will define the republican primary for a little while, won't it? >> it will be all-consuming. but i don't think anyone should assume that just because labor is loud that the public -- >> the question is can they win? >> are going to be on their side. sb-5, this bill, governor kasich had the audacity to tell governor employee union workers that they have to cap their annual vacation at six weeks. no more than six. that they can't have more than two weeks on top of that of sick days. >> that has nothing to do where w. -- >> but i was going to say, this is the message war. if that's the message, republicans can win that argument. but democrats and labor want to turn it into a -- >> they're going to tell you that this is -- >> about taking away someone's rights. >> it's an assault on the middle class, which is abs

john sergeant who wanted a statement on behalf of the aap initially said they are prepared that a publish plaintiff to enter into a narrow settlement, and they hope other parties will do as well. scott who's the president of the ag, he said along the lines of, you know, regardless of what the outcome of discussions are, readers want access to unavailable works, authors need every market that they can get. there has to be a way to make some kind of settlement happen to make these works available. and so they hope that they can, in fact, arrive at a settlement. with respect to google, they were as i said kind of disappointed. but they essentially said they hope to be able to continue their scanning work and make as many books available. so essential will be we think it's disappointed, but cautious optimism seems to be raining the day. >> what about google's competitors, amazon, microsoft, what was their reaction? >> to the best of my knowledge, i think the reactions were mostly lodged with in court documents. it from what i understand though, they were certainly pleased that the settlement was not approved because each of those parties were certainly the majority of the party did lodg

scott mcgrew joins us. what are they apologizing for? >> probably for taking the eye off the ball. cisco makes all kinds of things and maybe that's the problem. ceo john chambers, one of silicon valley's most respected leaders, wrote an apology note of sorts saying the networking giant disappointed investors and confused its own employees. cisco's biggest business is making the equipment that switches and routes traffic on the internet, but all of a sudden it has a lot of competition in that area. and at the same time cisco started branching out into really strange side businesses. for instance, it bought the flip digital company, the company that makes those neat flip video cameras. for many it was a very strange purchase. cisco shares have fallen boy a third in the last year. you compare that to apple. apple up 46%. >>> pringles, san francisco-based diamond food which is the seller of almonds bought the pringles line of potato chips from procter & gamble for more than a billion dollars. i have to admit i didn't know there was a san francisco company that made pop secret popcorn or pringles for that matter. >> have you ever had an it's it? >> that i

become perhaps cover-up other misconduct like john ensign hill calvo i think the department of justice isn't taking this position most americans would also find scottas members of congress and members in the state legislature and using their powers for some personal interest that may or may not be financial. >> okay. thank you. now to jack smith, the chief of the public integrity section the department of justice. i come at the question i think a lot from a similar perspective the one that melanie just mentioned. i think regular americans respect that the mechanisms of government will protect their interests that a bidder taxes, they follow the rules and expect it to innocence gets what they paid for, and i think that that is a great starting point in terms of defining what is there and what's not fair. what i find when we actually litigate these cases is what it comes down to often particularly following the skilling case is the issue of corrupt intent. the bribery statute is the most common statute we use and it's the bedrock statute. and what you see in the actual litigation of the cases of the battleground it's often not be dated by the time th
