but benefited from prop k and designed with prop k in mind. that is that the quality of those spaces encouraged lunchtime sun for those people who work in the ever dense or downtown buildings. while these are not protected by prop k, there definitely contribute to quality of our workforce and financial district because each office building and architect of those buildings made every effort to place them that they had max sun, animated by cafes which use the sun to attract lunchtime customers, the revitalization of alleys all relied on prop k and the downtown plan to create a completely transformed downtown. what we are seeing here to varying degrees is going to be greatly affecting all these things. the one part of your presentation which i believe you need to do is speak about -- is there a conversation which i should be hearing here? thank you. the one part of the conversation which i believe you owe this commission, at least me, are shadows on sidewalks, also protected by prop k. they are not all sidewalks but specific ones. i appreciate if

that prop k can provide that only prop k can provide for planning, for doing walk first projects and other high priority areas like sixth street. we are excited this is moving forward but do request a little more information about the scoring on this and how it applies specifically to pedestrian safety. also to transit reliability we have concerns that the tep projects are not in here.

as maria mentioned, very much in some ways like the prop k plan with several key differences. maria hit on a couple so the prop plan will be shorter because it has overall smaller dollar amount. there is no financing assumed within the prop and simpler plan. the five-year priority plans for each of the three programmatic categories established in the plan will be included as part of the plan for prop a and prop k, the five pps are separate apart from the strategic plan n. addition from the slide the policies criterias were adopted by the authority board. the key piece is programming notification, as maria mentioned. to be really short, the policies are meant to provide guidance on managing the prop aa program for both project sponsors and for the authority. priorityization criteria, the adopted criteria are found as attachment 2 in your packet, on page 90, made of three separate levels. the first is the screening criteria that establishes basic eligibility. the second level, general criteria are applied to all projects. for instance, priority shall be given to projects with cl

. >> exactly. >> so this recurrence that we derived really of n choose k is equal to (n - 1 choose k -1) + (n - 1 choose k) is actually an example of a very fundamental combinatorial principle, isn't that right? >> absolutely. and here's my favorite example of a principle, it's called the pigeonhole principle. >> ah, sounds great. >> and the reason it's my favorite is because it's very intuitive. so here's the example i'm going to show you. we have five pigeons and they are flying home. these are carrier pigeons, so they're flying to their home. there are only four homes. >> right, so somebody might get left out, is that right? >> unfortunately, if there are more objects than there are boxes and only one thing is in a box, then there's stuff that doesn't get assigned. but to make that pigeon happier, we're going to say that everybody has to be put in a box. and what that's going to do is it's going to force that pigeon into some box that's already occupied. >> right, right. >> so the pigeonhole principle in this case is going to say that if there are five pigeons in four boxes, some

the prop k strategic plan.we also have planned mta bonds and a small piece from state sources. so my presentation so far is on replacement of existing fleet. that is a one-for-one replacement of things we have. we also have in the plan look to the future, look at what the future vehicle needs will be, how do we accommodate growth, how do we plan for significant projects we are investing in. so there are two types of things that can happen. there can be project specific changes, like the transit effectiveness project or central subway, which would lead to changes in the vehicle mix. the other is the projected growth within the city in terms of the number of jobs and the population within the city. so it is those combination of projects and growth factors that we look at to see how the fleet would need to change over time. so i will show you a few slides on how we build up that analysis. so the last time we estimated our long-term demand we looked out to the year 2030 and we forecast about a 46% increase in trave

prop k for the system have been heavily advanced to provide san francisco's local match contribution because sfmta has been unable to contribute to its own financial challenges. a strategic planned amendment is needed in order to fully fund caltran's request, allowing advance of approximately 1.9 million in prop k from fiscal years 2004 to 205, to 20-13 and the guideways category. among other requests we received, the san francisco transportation agency has requested 136,000 in prep k for design and construction of crosswalk and guardrail, modifications at the intersection of the ohsanessey and dale dell. also requesting 35,727 to construct crosswalks and red visibility curbs at controlled pedestrian cross. finally department of public works has requested 20,000 for curb side and landscape improvements on 24th adjacent to 24th commission bart administration southwest plaza. southwest curb and landscaping are scope elements of the 24th street mission. bart improvements project and full scope of plaza improvements should be completed in november 2013. we have representatives from the a

that makes a 401(k) a poorly designed vehicle.times it feels like the whole system was set up to benefit the services. not you. given the way washington works, i wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. most stink. should you contribute to the 401(k) even putting cash. you have to take advantage of the tax nature. these vehicles are too good to pass up. many employers will match the conbugzs. i'm a big believer of not turning down free money. put enough money in your 401(k) to max out the company match. the rest should happen in your ira until you hit the upper limit of what you are allowed to contribute. unlike most 401(k), you can invest any way you can. it was 5,000 or 6,000 if you are over 50. what should you buy? the best bet is to own many of the high yielding stocks they talk about all the time on this show that provide the protection and generate income. a couple of wrinkles that make investing different. for example, as much as we like high yielders, it doesn't work well for partnerships. i think the pipeline stocks an

government to accept bribes from terrorist groups now even though the enemy k.'s off the list officials have been getting paid for years to speak on their behalf and there is no retroactive immunity for them to do so in one speech newt gingrich even referred to the mackays plate as analogous to george washington during the american revolution and said that if the u.s. is moral responsibility to advocate on their behalf really is the moral responsibility of the u.s. to support a violent revolt against the democratically elected leadership of iran they break it down to make a is completely illegitimate inside the country of iran and has almost no support from iranian citizens the u.s. government is imposing a false choice between the m e k and the iranian regime while throwing the people of iran under the bus who desire a nonviolent peaceful solution to their country's ailes now we're all comes down to is the word terrorism has become completely meaningless and is just used as political sway for whatever the government deems it useful to make its case and reality c

where you know most people look at their four one k. options first of all they don't have any idea which one to choose from and a lot of times all of those options are kind of equally terrible they're hifi mutual funds and they're really not something that's going to be able to support you in your retirement anyway and as far as the mainstream media goes typically by the time jim cramer is recommending it all the smart money is already in or out as the case may be and so i just feel at that point you're it's much too late you know to have the courage to not have the courage. and also one that know what about the role of statistics because we know what's going to get a lot of play tomorrow all over the news is going to be jobs numbers but you say hey sometimes these stats these these data releases that are so all blown up are really pretty irrelevant or just not what the focus should be. yes exactly i think first of all a lot of government statistics can really be traced back to that famous quote about blah darn lies and statistics and s

k. worked in concert with the saudis to carry out the assassination of five iranian nuclear scientists within the country since two thousand and seven well last week the state department removed the emmy k. from its terror watch list in response to a heavy lobbying campaign directed at u.s. politicians to do so now you may ask if you're a rational logical person why on earth would they do such a thing well because the list is nothing more than a number of groups and. states that use their power to defy the us instead of work with it the real reason why the us is so interested in working with any case is because they're the good kind of terrorists whose terrorist activities are considered in line with freedom fighters simply because they're trying to out the same regime the us government is like for example hamas which is the democratically elected leadership of palestine is not recognized by the us and is instead listed as the terror organization on their terror list but do you remember

my 401(k) has nearly doubled in the last four years. he said in his speech things had gone more slowly and been more difficult than he imagined. he showed humility and i thought he did a wonderful job of contextualizing it last night. it's a choice between what kind of future we want to have as a country. what kind of economy we want to have. whether it's an economy that works for everybody or just the few and privileged like mitt romney. i thought it was very effective. >> what about that? the idea that and let's say this objectively. you're not just playing this back and forth. if you have a president come in and the dow jones is down about 65, it's dropped dramatically, lower than it was for a decade and all of a sudden, it doubles up to 13,000. that means people have 401(k) money. they've got any kind of savings in the equity markets. they're better off dramatically. in fact, twice as well off as somebody 65 years old ready to retire, 72 years old, checking the market every day. i have to tell you, this sounds like sarcasm, but if g
