if you leave the beltway, if you leave a lot of a enclaves in america, particularly the larger cities and start talking to people, this is a very much important issue because they have sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, friends are relatives who are serving and dying and fighting in places like afghanistan and in iraq. you can quickly forget about it, but there are thousands of families around the country who are deeply concerned about this. >> julie, do you think that is true? >> part of the problem is that this war is dragging on and on and on. it is terribly expensive and very dangerous. there is a great sameness about the news from afghanistan. the news is about what is different. a war grinding on for another year does not reveal make big news. >> i was at a desk handling of the vietnam war. it was like the same story every day. in those days, it was men killed. always, "more of the enemy was killed." it was terrible because the initial stories, 400 miles from saigon. in washington, they were winning the war in the suburbs of the saigon. people got tired of it breed there w

one of the things we have been able to do is work in different kinds of the larger city.he has been very good in the community. i have been able to facilitate this round of conversations with our city leaders. she is going to be one of the ones that will be working as she goes into her new role as one of the city leaders. it is the kind of conversations we are having with the mayor. with supervisor mirkarimi through child-care. the community developers are around affordable housing. particularly around the teacher housing. the conversations we had with our committee organizations as we formed around that to coordinate space and four memorandums of understanding so that everybody is welcomed into our schools. it speaks volumes to the work we have done over the years. i am grateful for our board members to have facilitated those conversations. to have been open to us being open. we had a conversation around the community project that we had when we open school yards on the weekends. it is a collaboration with the city. these are schools that have been identified as furthest

it's a finely wrought compromise for the city's need for housing and the imperative to keep some of these larger rougher businesses able to survive in the city. from catering kitchens to auto repair. furniture wholesaling, a lot of things that need larger, cheaper spaces to occur. those businesses they provide support for the the city's front office economy. the downtown offices, tourist industry. all of those businesses need support for linen washing, printing and what have you. so the idea is to support the economy and secondly the jobs provided are very good stable jobs. some activities that used to be clearly unindustrial active, because of technology changes take place in a base that looks like an office. printing takes place in some big, industrial places. now a lot of graphic work is done in a space that looks no different than a law office. we struggled in how to define those activities. we are forced to call them offices. yet clearly they should be allowed to go on. we have figured out how to parcel. in come areas, we saw, no we want real true industrial businesses. we need to preserve

if you look at poorer cities, baltimore or cities -- with larger numbers of hiv like new york or chicago, why would our aids rate be higher, is because we couldn't use the needle exchange program with our own local funds -- >> so it's -- data proves that needle exchanges programs do lower rates of hiv. >> among users, they don't -- now in our city not only transmitted them on users, but of course it got transmitted to larger population including women. >> there have been other studies by w.h.o. and others that are very much more mixed than that, that if there is a benefit it's very marginal. so, look, i am more agnostic on the question of needle exchange. but the idea that you're sitting there with someone showing them the vein, which vein to use, yes, you want to treat that vein if it becomes abscessed and infected, absolutely. but what you want to do try to get that person to understand that drug use is bad. yes, it's bad. >> the whole approach is very libertarian approach that canada has taken. i don't think it would be widely accepted across united states. it's very controversial. th

critics say the rail line should start and stop in cities with larger populations. >>> the house today approved a bill to promote better eating habits. the $4.5 billion bill aims to cut down on unhealthy options by giving the government the power to decide what kinds of foods may be sold in vending machines and lunch lines. the bill also makes many more students eligible for a free or cheaper lunches. >>> facebook might just be a divorce lawyer's best friend. a new survey finds facebook is now linked to one in five divorces. about two-thirds of attorneys surveyed says facebook has been the main source of evidence in a divorce case. social networking sites such as myspace and twitter were also cited in that survey, but facebook was by far the biggest source for divorce material. researchers say most people were found to be having inappropriate chats with people they weren't supposed to be chatting with. >> and there's the record for everyone to see. >>> we'll be right back with the top baby names for . hi20 one >>10 tom's odgo. ne >>> if you know any kids named abigail or liam, they are

we discussed the background on how the project relates to the general plan and the larger policy issues before the city. we thought it would be good to start with a brief discussion of where the city and this project fit in with the statewide pieces of legislation regarding greenhouse gases and transportation and land use that the city is engaged in responding to. it mandates statewide reduction of greenhouse gases. to implement part of it, the state legislation asked -- pas sed sb375 to mitigate greenhouse gases from passenger vehicles, to reduce them. the point is to shape growth in the future. that growth will occur in san francisco, as it well in the rest of the region. it is our responsibility to shape it where, on a per-capita basis, the miles traveled are more reduced than they would be under an existing status quo development pattern. when it comes to reducing greenhouse gases, transportation is where it is in terms of the bay area. this graph shows where all of the emissions come from. 40% come from passenger transportation. the other sectors are much lower. this directly relates to our housin

labor department is as well unemployment fell in more than half the nation's larger cities in octoberast and is partially labor department says it dropped in 200 of the 300 metro area spirit week to put together a graphic in that it shows if you look at october of last year and october of this year and calculate the jobs lost in we ranked second in the nation the top was chicago area the loss 62,000 jobs bay area lost 33,000 and right behind that was to try. losing 32,600. although detroit has been hardest hit with automotive strand interest- rate surprisingly enough bay area's top them on that list. unfortunately. more on this report to come out through the day you can be sure. >> the latest with the british judge. sodium thiopentayou can see the media d to get a picture through the tin windows he was arrested on a warrant in london for the crimes in sweden he that's why he was in a british court this morning. robert gates weighing and he was meeting in afghanistan when reporters asked for his reaction to the judge's ruling. >> i hadn't heard that but that sounds like good news to me

west virginia deserve the same resources that are available to the elderly, obviously, living in larger cities. participants and developers of the section 202 housing program maintain that the current regulation and h.u.d. administration of the program can be time consuming and bureaucratic. s. 118 will improve section 202 elled leer program by streamlining and preserving the properties and by increasing participation by not for profit developers, private lenders, investors and state and local funding agencies. mr. speaker -- madam speaker, the need for affordable rental housing in america has an effect on renters of all ages, especially our seniors, and this bill will help ease some of the affordability problems for our senior population. i join my colleague and i urge my other colleagues to support this bill, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from west virginia reserves. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. lynch: thank you, madam speaker. i'd like to yield three minutes to the gentlelady from texas, ms. jackson lee, for three minut

i wonder if there was maybe some way we could require the city to put in a larger, taller tree in replacement. i do not know. i mean i would be in favor of phasing, except we are in the windy, stormy season. i would be afraid someone would get hurt by a falling tree. the do not know how the other commissioners might feel about larger replacement trees. commissioner hwang: we did hear ms. short talk about a 36 inch box for one of the properties. is that something you could address? instead of the 24 inch? >> a 36 inch box treat is something the department can plant. it is a little bit more of a challenging coordinating process, because we have to use a crane to install those trees. but it is a possibility. it is more expensive. the trees themselves are more expensive, although not substantially so. we do have much more staff time, and we have to pay for the crane operator's time in order to do that. but those conditions have been imposed on others and on the department in the past. vice president goh: how much taller is the tree at 24 versus 36? >> it depends on the species. if we are talking

they also made sure the city will get a larger piece of the clubs that still exist.iet do explains the tax hike is getting a mixed reaction. kit? >> reporter: we're live here atest end san jose, at medics, one that will be hit with this new tax. it is unknown how much they need to gain from this tax but given the historic budget deficit every little bit helps. in san jose if you want a puff you got to pay. the city couple has voted to tax medical marijuana an additional 7% on top of the current sales tax, pushing it to 16 1/4%. >> they passed the tax, even though it's a lot, italy zhitnik mices it. >> for the seriously ill people that's not right. you can't tax somebody's medicine. we're already taxed. jumps that this city needs tax revenue so work with the collect gives and do something, you know, 5%, do something that is acceptable to everybody. >> reporter: the council also voted to stop issuing business licenses to dispensaries holding their numbers in san jose to under 100. it's been a busy month on the san jose can business scene. last week the police raided fo

city side street looks like. piles of snow this big and larger. cars buried. the problem is, this isn't an average new york city side street. we're standing in the middle of 49th street, just near the base of the world famous 30 rock christmas tree where millions of people come to see this site every year. this churning blizzard starting in the south, came up through new york city. again, the mid-atlantic, all the way through new england. and this was a whiteout here at this time yesterday. a history maker, no doubt. records fell along the length of the storm. 80 million americans were impacted by the storm, and look at that stat, 35 million americans witnessed blizzard conditions. transportation completely paralyzed. trains, planes and automobiles, all of it came to a complete halt. highways blocked to traffic. air travel, forget it. at the end of the day, when the storm is all said and done, it's estimated 6,000 total flight cancellations, domestic and international. my colleague, lester holt out in it all day and starting things off for us tonight not far fr

there has been consensus, as the president mentioned, in agreement that the city and region would likely seek largernomic impact. i think that the comptroller will speak to this further. in this context we have endeavored to negotiate first what is before you today to secure the right to host this 34th america's cup. it started this summer when we were in competition with rhode island and san diego. we secured the rights to be the sole u.s. city under consideration. we understand that they continue to negotiate with other countries and we will be discussing that as well. we are on the home stretch of this process and we have come to appreciate what the process has brought to the offer. being in the public realm and having these conversations has really allowed the offer to improve, as well as getting direct public comment. it has given a greater level of certainty. not only for the team, but for the competitors. they have seen very publicly what is on the table. we have also demonstrated our ability. we have shown that san francisco can come together, show understanding, a just and crossed the finis

that has always been a city of dreamers and doers, a city of entrepreneurs, a city that doesn't just identify these largerproblems but begins to address strategies to solve them. indeed, san francisco is very proud of its leadership to begin the process of mitigation so that we don't have it adopt and as some have said suffer the consequences of global climate change. more mitigation, less adaption, less suffering. this city decided a number of years ago after the united states did the obvious and that was decided not to participate in the kyoto accords to go further, as ryan was just mentioning, as kyoto would have required the united states. we want to roll back our co2 emissions 20 percent from 1990 standards. the challenge is how do you do it. we have mayors saying, well, we've done it. what's the methodology where you determine where you were and now where you are and i realize we're not that sophisticated in terms of really aggregating that information, registering that information and really, indeed, knowing how much we have accomplished. we are anecdotally but we recognize even in san francisco th

seizure that occurred over one ten-kiloton weapon missing, threatened to be detonated in one of our larger cities. russia has about 15,000 nuclear weapons, the united states about 9,000, china a couple hundred, france several hundred, britain several hundred, and the list goes on. the question is: what do we do about all of that? will we just waltz along forever and believe somehow, some way we'll be lucky enough to make sure nobody ever explodes a nuclear weapon in the middle of a city on this earth? because when they do, all life on this planet is going to change. what do we do about that? well, my colleagues say let's ratify the start treaty. i fully agree. and there is so much more that needs to be done beyond that. the work that has been done here on the floor of the senate by my colleague senator kerry and senator lugar is extraordinary work. senator lugar is here, and i don't know that he's been here previously. people are tired of my doing it, but it is so important. i have always kept in my desk a small piece of the wing of a backfire bomber that was given to phaoefplt senator lugar is r

that means that the city would capture more incremental property taxes rather than having to use the larger amount of incremental property taxes to reimburse the event authority for subsequent infrastructure improvement costs. that is the basic difference between our original report, the prior agreement, and this report. under the prior agreement the the event authority was going to pay no rent under the proposed northern waterfront alternative agreement, the port would receive a commercially reasonable payment from the authority. it would be partially offset to provide reimbursement to the event authority for the infrastructure improvement costs. on page 5 of the report, we state that the estimated net gain to the city is shown on page 5 and does not include the the value of old port properties through which long-term development rights could develop and be granted by the event authority. if it determines that it needs peer's 26 at 28 for america's cup, the options to pay for improvements have allowed the proposed agreement and the comparative value for properties with and without the even
