supervisor mirkarimi: i am sympathetic to what director katz has said. i think animal welfare has been taking a number of hits over the past few years. i would be more than happy to be the dissenting voice on this recommendation. supervisor chu: thank you, supervisor mirkarimi. one question for the department -- is the department in agreement with the other cuts? >> madam chair, yes, we are. supervisor chu: yes, i would be supportive of supervisor mirkarimi's position. perhaps we can make a motion or take action on the $24,900 in budget closeouts and accept all the recommendations from the budget analyst except the $10,000 for the animal control section? can we do that without objection? ok, we can do that without objection. thank you very much. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. supervisor chu: the department of technology. >> good morning, supervisors. john walton, director of the department of technology. i am here to give you an update on our discussions with the budget analysts office. we are in agreement with them. these 16 recommendations of the tot

gia daniller-katz. next, we have james tracy. after james, we have jason porth. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is james tracy. usually when we come in front of each other like this, it is usually run partisan politics, different issues that we're debating of the day. i believe that the number one thing that any commissioner can do is to put aside these things and just basically obey the law. there is the city charter. federal civil rights law. there is a host of other laws that we have to obey. and we have to balance the needs of a very changing the city that is very, very complex geographically. we do not have as many ethnic enclaves that are unbroken as we did even 10 years ago and 10 years before that. so there will be a lot of challenges before us, basically, you have to be able to put aside your own ideological beliefs and find out exactly what will be the conditions that can give every single san franciscan, no matter where they live, an equal chance at voicing their will. i participated heavily in the census effort

we will go back to gia daniller- katz. after gia, jenny lam. >> good morning. thank you for including me. my name is gia daniller-katz, and i am here today because i would love the opportunity to serve as a member of the redistricting task force and to serve the city in committee in this way. my interest in the special assignment stems from my passion for san francisco, a deep commitment to community involvement, as well as community engagement. i have interests in all things political. i have been actively involved in civic affairs in san francisco and with various community and political organizations for the past 15 + years. i worked in areas around urban planning, environmental issues, women's issues, and have been very involved in the jewish community. i am a past president, like my good friend and colleague, adjacent p -- jason porth, in the club. i am running a small business providing government and community relations consulting services. what i wanted to highlight for you is the fact that i have considerable experience in the community outreach fund a

ian katz, what does this day whh rupert murdochcalled the humblest day of his life. what does it change and where do we go from here? >> well, it's not a day we learn an awful lot of significant things. if anything the clearest lesson is wendy dang has a formidable right hook but it was a day of quite striking theatre i think. for in who sits in this country the idea of rupert murdoch who two weeks ago was the most powerful person.country being hauled into parliament to answer questions is prett pretty extraordinary and we had the dialog of him saying it was the humblest day of his lif that w pretty striking. the interesting thing is he and james murdoch came in saying sorry and contrition if you lied but the message was we're sorry but it wasn't else, was someone else's fault and that's the bit that will get tested over the next few weeks and months. >> charlie: they said it was people th are had trusted. >> it was other people. anyone but the people sitting there. we had an extraordinary day because though the focus was on the murdoch hearings we had hearings with

agreement, i would like to call up the director of the department of animal care and control, rebecca katz. >>

we spoke with lane jones, the chief investment officer at wealth management firm evensky and katz. his advice to investors? >> well it's harder than it is to hear. the advice is that you have to earn -- stay in the market until you earn market returns. staying the course and be prepared to accept the volatility, whatever all that might be based on how you're invested in order to think long term and make it. >> tom: have you noticed the tolerance has changed from the banking crises or even the.com back in 2000. >> this is unique in that you're talking about the foundation of modern capital market pricing in the treasury. and alternativity it has a finite sort of deadline. unlike other crises where you maybe generally feel like there's something bad those going to happen you just don't know when. this has a date attached to it and because of that you can potentially look to the option markets in order to buy some protection around the finite period. so it is a little unique. >> tom: what are you going to be doing on friday of this week or monday of next week? >> i would expect i'll b

. >> on that point, your deputy editor, ian katz was quoted as saying that you were and the paper weressive about this story. how do you plead? >> well, i think you have to be, especially a story in which you don't get a clean wind to begin with. i think the lesson of this story all around is if everybody came out and fade attention to the story we wrote two years ago in july 2009, "news of the world" would still be alive and i think rebekah brooks would still be in her job and we wouldn't have this giant crisis. >> why do you think, alan, with a few exceptions, almost nobody in the british media did aggressively follow up your story? were some of these organizations perhaps afraid their own techniques might be looked at? >> well, that's what people say. i don't know. again, there was a moment when just before the british election the -- there was an employment tribunal which found that andy coulson presided over a culture of bullying at the "news of the world" and a former reporter was awarded a million dollars in damages. that's a staggering finding about a man who is just about to w

producer jason katz, who interfaces with the team, says this is a critical element to making the franchise more than just a show about baseball. >> this is one of the first times people can really see on a national level inside a baseball player's life. that's not saying just inside the clubhouse. this is seeing matt and jeremy at their home with their children. it's leaving their children and knowing i might not see their first step. that's a pretty big thing. that resonates. that doesn't just resonate with giant fans or men, it resonates with the general public. this is the first time we've done this broad scope thing. being there almost every day for six to eight months has been -- it's been sort of eye-opening on a bunch of levels. >> champion san francisco giants baseball. >> you can catch in depth off the cuff stories like this every week on "sports sunday" which airs at 11:30 p.m. it's a pretty cool show. >> it's nice to see them outside the ballpark with their family and kids. sheds new light. >>> still ahead at 6:00, microbrew and microgrow? the new push to legalize pot and treat

>> comedian and radio personality tony katz joins us from los angeles this morning.early, early fourth of july, tony. all right, so what do you think of this whole study if you go to a fourth of july parade, you're more likely to vote republican and more likely to turn out on election day and they just seem to be a breeding ground for republicans. what do you think about the study from harvard? >> first of all, happy independence day, everybody. secondly, what's wrong with any of those things? i'm amazed thatarvard even allowed the study to be published. you put out a study that on its face is creative solely and exclusively to attack republicans and by extension members of the tea party, conservatives, libertarians, etc., but once you read into the study, you're stunned at what you find. one of the great numbers on there is about voter turnout. if a 15 to 18-year-old attends one, just one rain-free fourth of july independence day celebration, they're more likely to vote and that number drops immediately after they turn 18. what happens when you turn 18? you go to co

what about size katz, 3% to 4% of gdp, and that half a dozen u.s. institutions would be already above the cap and would have to come down over some period. you also have much bigger capital surcharges than what was agreed to over the weekend. that would be another way to i am just curious as to why he chose the glass-steagall route as opposed to the other routes for discouraging to big to fail? >> we did it and think about size. but part of what we thought about its size it isn't really the factory -- it is one of the factors, but not the primary factor. it is the nature of the risk -- whether you are bear stearns -- which probably wouldn't have the -- have been caught underneath the size limit. it is the nature of the risk that you are bringing on that gives us pause. second of all the digging -- if we could give them marginal capital requirements above, i think that could be fine but i don't have any faith in it at all because it will be coopted within three years of the recovery. for example, the resistance to 7% equity it for a tier one equity a
