i am in favor of ranked joyce voting. i saw the trajectory of the debate last year as a candidate, and it was very interesting. prior to getting into the race, there were editorials and columns until local paper saying that range was voting was not good for san francisco, it was confusing. i felt those editorials before there is much engagement from the electorate was already setting seeds in people's brains about what the election was going to be like. and any characterization of the proponents of bank twice voting believe or feel, there is a great diversity of the people that support re choice of voting, it is not just people that are progressive. i have perspectives on that that are fairly mixed for. it was a challenge to make sure that voters could see me as something different from other candidates, but the as a challenge any candidate has, whatever type of election one as sen. you're always trying to make sure that you can present in a way that distinguishes itself from others. the fact that we had 16 main candidate

ranked joyce has been in place in many places, including other countries. it has been shown to be effective. i personally follow every election very carefully, and have never seen anything alarming about ranked choice which made me think the person who was best for that community and who they desired to vote for was not being put in office. it looks to me like it is a system that works but could be improved. i think that is where we need to head with this. to some extent, like what is being proposed by some of the other advocates, if we had a rented choice system in which folks could rank all of their candidates in the election with little bauble dots -- you have seen the chart from steven hill. by the way, if you are not talking to steven hill yet, please do. he is the granddaddy of ranked joyce in san francisco. this does not have to be complicated. if somebody came up to me and asked what an algorithm was for the voting system, i would not have a good answer either. i understand what an algorithm is. i think we can all work together on this. eventually,

i would like to be able to continue with frank joyce voting. i believe we have already have the experiment of with and it has worked in a lot of ways. as supervisor campos mentioned, the great diversity that is on the board of supervisors is a great example of how right choice of voting has been good for the city. last year we had mayor lee when an election with an enormous voter turnout from the chinese community. the story of disenfranchisement i don't believe is the case. they came out in droves to support merely. in my district, there was an office that was empty because they had ever won at the polls already. there is a lot of things that worked with ranked was voting, people voting in droves to support candidates. we were very savvy about how their votes laid out. that is where my vote is going to go today. i do appreciate the discussion. there is a lot we can do to make sure that our elections are democratic. supervisor elsbernd: i would like to initially responded to a few of the comments that have been used to justify the need to maint

countless jurisdictions have and acted ranked joyce voting and repealed it. i hope you will give this a -- ranked choice of voting. i hope he will give this a chance to go to voters so we can give us the chance to the voters in our city. supervisor campos: by a blunt to echo the comments of the supervisor farrell and think the rules committee for the substantive dialogue we had and the people we had on both sides of the issue that have come out to speak about this item. san francisco's use of ranked joyce boating and public financing are two things that have gained -- ranked choice of voting. i know there is a difference of opinion here as whether ranked choice of voting has worked. to those of us who introduced the amendment, we believe the facts speak for themselves. ranked choice of voting has led to can't its winning election here in san francisco with more votes that in prior to elections and we have been able to save taxpayers substantial amounts of money and in tough economic times by implementing ranked choice of voting. as a result, we have, and i th

there was plenty of big money spent in an election with ranked joyce voting. let's be honest about this. rank choice of voting does not serve our citizens. runoffs have their problems, but by and large, when it comes to the essence of democracy and an educated electorate and the final point that supervisor farrell has made so hard, nine are here. supervisor olague has not yet stood for election. a majority of the electorate didn't vote for us. it just is not right. with less than a majority of the electorate voting for them. ranked was voting is a flawed system. runoffs are not perfect, but they are an improvement. does this need be in the charter? there is nothing in the charter amendment -- it doesn't need to be in the charter. just as a factual point, there is one company that claims they can tell more than three candidates and they can only count 10 right now. the company has not been certified and the last thing we want to do is empower a sole- source contract. by the way, if this makes a valid, i can't wait to see the campaign reports. i think i know who

>> yes. >> joyce, you have not read it? >> no, i haven't. >> joyce has not read it yet.hat book, which just came out, hasn't been something she is ready for. >> the excerpts that i have seen in the newspaper are so astounding to me. he told everyone that i was crazy, that i had abused my body with medicines, that i somehow was to blame. there's no doubt about that. now he turns around and, for whatever his reasons are, i don't know what he's trying to accomplish with talking about something he should have shared with me before he ever married me, if he's got some thought that that had anything to do with jeff. >> you mean his mental state, that you weren't informed? >> dreaming of murder -- >> yes. exactly. >> -- obsession with explosives? he never talked to you about any of that? >> none of that. >> i think one of the points is it's all clear in retrospect. i mean, he -- for instance, one of the anecdotes that he tells in the book, joyce, is when jeff was 4 years old and he had crawled -- lionel had crawled underneath the house to remove some dead animals and he put the

qantas' ceo, alan joyce, is saying the airline will manage to weather the storm. he's going to be announcing a whole series of cost-cutting plans, including, as you'd imagine, cutting jobs. he's planning on cutting spending to the tune of $750 million over the years to come. >> we anticipate there will be 500 positions affected by the immediate changes that we have announced today. but let me clarify, that there will be no jobs, no jobs going offshore. not one. but as i said, at the outset, the hugely competitive market and tough global economy in which we operate mean that we must change. we need to be ready to take tough decisions and we must become more flexible and more productive. >> alan joyce there, the ceo continuing on the concerns of the competitive environment for qantas. amelia adams is a reporter for australia's 9 network. she joins us from sydney. first of all, the 500 job cuts, where are they going to come from and what sort of reactions are we getting from the unions? relations between qantas and the unions must be close to an all-time low at the m

just to be also noted, the open source systems we advocate can handle ranked joyce voting. -- ranked choice of voting. we want the security aspects to be highlighted continually. that is why i am here today. i brought a handout that might give you some background. chairperson campos: thank you, mr. turner. next speaker, please. >> i live in know we valley -- noe valley. i have been studying different voting systems for about 5.5 years. as you know, i have brought up issues of score voting and approval voting in the past. one reason i think these systems are really interesting is some inherent properties make them simpler for voters and the department of elections. with approval voting, you are using an ordinary ballot. the only change is to count over votes. you do not discard them. if i want to vote for five candidates, i can do that. it is hard for voters to get confused. it is almost impossible to spoil your ballot. in experiments including looking at really contentious political elections, it turns out you get about 1/5 as many spoiled ballots. whereas with ranked joyce, ballot s

joyce, mr. farinacci, do you have any objection to that motion?he court will note that the motion made be the stay, governs the court admonition to the lawyer. before i issue that order, i do want to also note in a minute we'll talk about the media's access to the proceedings as they go forward and that the court understands the serious nature and the right of the media to cover this proceedings, but the court would admonish the media to try to be careful of the accuracy of facts as they are portrayed to the public, for our ultimate goal is to make sure the public understands the truth of the action, but we do not want the proceedings to be used to mislead the public. that having been said, the court issues the following order. the defense counsel and prosecuting attorney are hereby restrained from issuings in public comments about the pending status of this case. the court will enforce it with the criminal and civil orders. pending further order of the court. it's my understanding that there are two exceptions. one exception is that prosecutor jo

i don't believe it has to do with ranked joyce voting, i liken it to the tax cut. we file taxes on an annual basis, there are things i do because i know that it is the way things work. i know if i jump off the desk, i will hit the ground. if it goes to the theory of relativity and gravity, we can educate ourselves and learn more about the systems. i am concerned about the money spent in elections, i believe that rank choice voting helps, t o some degree, minimize the impact of a high donor. or many donors turning out and trying to influence the money. i would support supervisor chu and supervisor kim speaking earlier about putting the issue on the november ballot. the greatest number of people to weigh in on this very important item. president chiu: supervisor farrell. supervisor farrell: thanks. a few points of the questions that have been raised. we have had 10 years, how much more education do we need to do? people remain confused. second of all, as we have seen, mr. hill has disgraced himself at the board of supervisors. cherry picking data from my point of vie

joyce. do you have any objection to that motion?ur honor. >> the court will note that the motion has been made by the state, not objected by defense, governs the courts as to the lawyers talking to the media. before i issue that order, i do want to also note that in a minute, we're going to talk about the media's access to the proceedings as they go forward and that the court understands the interest of the public in this matter due to the serious nature of the allegations and the right of the media to cover these proceedings, but the court would caution the media to try to be careful what the accuracy of facts as they are portrayed to the public for our ultimate goal here is to make sure that the public understands the truth of what happens, but we do not wish the proceedings to be used to mislead the public as to the factual basis of any allegations in the court. that having been said, the court issues the following order. the defense counsel and the prosecutoring attorney are hereby restrained from issuing any public comments abo

i guess suzanne somers got paid a little more than joyce dewitt. joyce didn't feel great about that. so they finally reunited on suzanne somers' show. suzanne was very honest and said, you know, i looked at the job as money and you guys were more actors. you took it more seriously. and i could see how that rubbed you the wrong way. they reminisced also about their co-star, john ritter, who as you know passed away. it was a tearful reunion. >> it's good that joyce showed up and knocked on suzanne's door. >> that's right. >> good they made up. >> very nice. >>> hey, paula. happy anniversary. >> rob, i'm a little busy right now. >> i'm talking about the 20th anniversary. >> can't you see i'm busy? we've got a newscast to do in a little bit. >> come on, 20 years live overnight news. fun, smart, a little bit of attitude. >> now i know what you're talking about. the 20th anniversary of "world news now." we should do a promo. >> now you're seeing the whole picture. >> and that's a great line to use in the promo. >> we need a promo -- >> we do need a promo

is that jesse joyce?> i didn't recognize him without a hoodie. >> i dress respectable like. >> apparently the gap was closed. >> jesse you said the shocking thing about the story is only one parent complained and that lead to this state senator doing this. what if i told you the parent who complained to the state senator was named floyd brown and he is a long-time republican strategist who produced the willy horton head in 1988 and a founding chairman of citizens united. >> i suppose we will never know until you tell me. >> what stories were you reading because i can't see that. >> i do research. it is part of my job. >> i don't understand why you can't answer my hypothetical question. you didn't actually ask me it. >> i did. i said what if i told you. >> it is not a hypothetical. >> he was acting. >> he didn't flat out say it. he was like, in theory what if i said this. >> it is a game he likes to play. look how smart i am. what if this were true. oh, it is true. >> i actually thought it was the beginnin

still to come, the half time report from jesse joyce. >>> welcome back. let's find out if we have gotten anything wrong. for that we go to jesse joyce. w45* is up? >> how are you? good show so far. first off, i just wanted to say to tucker that the last time i did the half time report you were here it took a few seconds to misleadingly pretend to apologize so that i could throw out the line again that i made earlier that you look like a middle aged dennis the men nighs if he had grown upton a -- dennis the menaze if he had grown up to be middle aged. >> i hold the words close to my heart. >> thank you. >> no problem. >> andy, you had said at the beginning there the word belacoast. it is from the latin roof -- root belum for war, and it means favoring or inclined to start quarrels or wars. >> you and i know that because we both -- restudy lapping wedges. we study languages. >> but the number of times i have seen you do this job the whole purpose is to be a punch line buzz kill. isn't that what you do is you take people things say? >> i don't know. i have n

. >> so, joyce isn't here today. so i will just be doing the report by myself. earlier today a few members of the s.a.c. went to a free meeting for youth -- or s.f. youth campaign. it was a rally, along with other partners of the free meeting for use collision, to let them know how much we love muni and need it to become free. these partners included power use commission, ccdc, jaynestown, soma, soma action network and a cowl of others. so this is a continuation of our campaign to get free muni for all youth living in s.f. we are doing -- on the s.a.c.'s part, we're continuing with the social media campaign, which you can visit at free muni for youth.tumbler.com. we're hoping to get the sfmta to vote on the issue in march. secondly, at our last s.a.c. meeting we had a presentation from megan m., who is the san francisco representative of revolution hunger. and revolution hunger is an organization that works to raise awareness and involvement in world hunger. and the presentation was mainly to get more people aware of the different opportunities that they have to

professor joyce. original one was cbo formed? >> guest: in 1974. and was in fact it reaction to some of the perceived accesses by the nixon administration. part of an effort by the congress to reassert its role in the budget process and as a part of that they created a budget committee and budget resolution that if they were going to be equal players in the budget process they really needed to have their own budget agency as opposed to relying on numbers that came from the executive branch and that is the reason. >> host: has it been successful? >> guest: it has been phenomenally successful and its success is mostly measured by the fact that if you talk to most people in the media and most people if they are being honest with you on both sides of the aisle would say the congressional budget office at least concerning the budget probably has the most credible numbers, most credible information out there. that was not a foregone conclusion. it was not something that necessarily was destined to happen. if you had said to someone in 1974 we are going t

any questions as to those matters, prosecutor joyce? >> no, your honor. >> next on the list, the court notes that there have been multiple requests by the media for release of documents under the custody of this court. those documents are of three categories. there's been requests for any records if they exist as to any juvenile records pertaining to t.j. there have been requests for any records, if they exist, for juvenile court records that may pertain to t.j. but are not involving our delinquency division, which would be the family division. now there are requests that have been made of this court for release of information of records, if any exist, as to at least one of the victims in this matter. the court will ask the prosecution, do you object to release any of these documents? >> your honor, no. >> we about to all three. >> in light of the objections of counsel for both the prosecution and defense, the court has set a hearing date for tomorrow, february 29th, at 3:30 p.m. to hear any media representative and to allow both the st

joyce, will you contemplate trying the young defendant as an adult? >> absolutely. it's a matter of law in the state of ohio. >> reporter: it's a matter of law? >> at 17 years old committing an act like this, which most likely would be three counts of aggravated murder as well as other counts we anticipate going forward, provided the juvenile court judge funds there is probable cause, he will be bound over to adult. >> reporter: it's my understanding that t.j. lane had already confessed and said he did have a motive, to shoot people. is any of that from you? >> i did not do the interview, and i'm really not prepared to talk about that right now. it's part of our investigation, scott. that will come out at some point. >> reporter: glen miller maple leaf. chief, the report was that he was arrested on woodland road. is that correct? >> that's correct. he was arrested on wooden road. >> reporter: were there any people -- trying to get hi gun from t.j.? did they try to apprehend him at all? teachers? students? >> we had a teacher in the school that attempted to stop him,

joyce?that is correct. >> that brings one other issue before we get to the tentative issue, multiple media sources i believe, were up to 47, have asked to participate or appear during these proceedings. the court is well aware the case law in this issue including the case that involved this court 12 years ago, members of the media should have received a copy of the order the court issued this morning that spells out the rules for media participation in the court as well as should have spell had out a form and application and received a copy of the court. >> shep: it's sort of logistics matters. we'll let you know exactly what happens here. if you choose to watch this hearing, go to foxnews.com. we're streaming it live for you. neil cavuto will bring you the headlines but breaking news on fox news channel. we are above 13,000 on the dow jones industrial average

inside prosecutor david joyce told judge grendell lane had admitted firing 10 shots. the 17-year-old suspect sat quietly with his grandfather and two aunts outside the camera's view , and spoke only briefly when questioned by the judge. >> you understand, t. j., that you have the right the remain silent with respect to any of the allegations pending in this court at all times? >> yes, i do. >> reporter: after a short 20-minute hearing lane was returned to juvenile detention. and was said to be sniffling as he left the courtroom. law enforcement officials say lane will likely be charged as an adult, with three counts of aggravated murder. but the motive for the killing spree is a mystery. prosecutor joyce disputed claims that lane this taken revenge for being bullied. >> he chose his victims at random. this is not about bullying, this is not about drugs. this is someone who is not well and i'm sure our court case will prove that to all of your desires and will make sure that justice is done here in this county. >> reporter: the shootings began just after 7:30 monday mo
