the logistics of and are rather complicated, as you might imagine. we are in the process of, with our partners in fleet week, planning a fund raiser. the department of public works as an engineer and they put together a report that we have shared. i am working through some networks that i'm involved with. one of my -- that i think is most pertinent to the department of emergency management is there a fire department is in great need. this is a community that is over 350,000 people. they have a department that has a 46-member staff. they have one station. they have not 3 apparatus, one of which is over 30 years old. they do not have food for their newest 20 members. these are all earnings that can be met. they need things like breathing apparatus, turnouts, boots, tools. i have been beating the bushes and figuring out how we do this. there are a couple of organizations that we will be doing some work with, one is firefighters without borders, they do this on a fairly regular basis. working on how to make that happen. the other side is, we are in the p

you -- the logistics'. thank you. a >>> one thing i have noticed with sunday streets, it comes up public transportation. it took me an hour to get to a destination where it normally took 30 minutes. and what i am wondering about is if this event is not going to inconvenience people who are not participating in watching the america's cup event. how is it going to affect other public transportation lines? are people going to be really inconvenienced? will people be able to get downtown if they are conducting business? what will happen to the president's surrounding this area? this really has to be factored in. in respect to the bicycles, the bicycle traffic is going to increase heavily. that means there is also increased concern -- there should be increased concern about pedestrians. i remember where a pedestrian was run over by a bicycle italy on the embarcadero. i do not want to see this event repeated again. the chances of repeating this again occur with greater bicycle traffic. what is going to be done to

. >> as you know, there are a number of complex issues and a lot of logistics involved in terms of how to accommodate the hotel operations. the parties have met to talk about some of the specific logistical issues, and have exchanged correspondence in an attempt to reach agreement on some of the other issues. but the reality is these things do take some time. we are working on it. supervisor cohen: so how much time do you think you need it? -- need? >> i would ask for a month. supervisor cohen: ok. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you. again, to the chair, i am still not convinced. what is it that would happen between now and a month from now that could not have happened in the last month? >> to be fair, i think we were hampered somewhat by the intervening holidays, which did take a lot of people out of commission, so to speak, so that the correspondence back-and- forth was not as speedy as was hoped. we had difficulty putting together a face-to-face meeting, which is what i think is actually necessary. supervisor campos: thank you. i am still not clear on what the difference would

in fact, the campaigns are now sort of in logistics mode. now it is about getting people to the caucus. as it is about turnout of your most ardent supporters. it is about organization. it's even in some cases about instructions. instructing people how to caucus. like in this mitt romney ad. >> worth noting here, can we just go back, can we show, right after they show the stylized computer thingy, this part right here. saying go forth and find your caucus. there are more than 1,700 caucus sites, by the way. right after that, that's step one. and right before, do we have step three? yeah, step three, where they put your mitt romney girl scout cookie logo in the mitt romney toaster step. between step one and step three, they have step two. look at step two here. do we have that? step two, show up. don't forget your i.d. oh, romney, santorum. i don't think they mean "id." i think they mean i.d. bring your identification. punctuation matters. interestingly, the good thing to know, heading into iowa, whether or not you're going to be supporting mi

they don't get the logistics. they go, these guys keep doing the logistics stuff and they keep getting rich with all of these rules. well, you need some rules. they say let's bail our friends out of jail. which kind, ripping the death man? do you get bail for that? business is boring. it is like dungeons and dragons. there are stew i had pied -- stupid semantics. >> being an adult is hard work. >> well i like it. >> i think they should all go to coachella and stay there. >> i actually do think that is reasonable. i don't want them running a business. go on a trip. >> absolutely. >> that's what people do when they sue. they get the money and go to a party in italy. >> absolutely. >> can we talk about chris christie? he said something may go down tonight, but it ain't going to be jobs, sweetheart. what does that mean? >> i don't know. but coming from him it sounds delightful. it is an unusual threat. >> i see a lot of weebil wobbles say that when they get arrogant and they say, we don't fall down, but you will. it i

logistics is one of the region's fastest growing industry sectors. mercedes benz, publix have distribution centers in northeast florida. and this is amazing. women out there and men who buy them gift, did you know that 90% of all coach bags are shipped through jacksonville? that's right. that's all good news for jacksonville and graduates because every year, 11,000 new distribution jobs are needed in florida. that is pretty darn amazing and jacksonville, a pretty neat city to discover. check out jax. what's your favorite airport? again, not always an oxy moron. they even have a spa there. let us know your vote. >>> president obama was campaigning at the university of michigan today. miles away, his opponents are fighting for florida's 50 delegates. and then are american children putting their lives on the line in the name of sports? dr. sanjay gupta with a look at concussions. [ indistinct conversations ] [ hissing ] agents, what did we learn here today? that lint balls are extremely flammable! well, yeah. and that 15,000 dryer fires happen every yea

associated press ran a survey piece on the logistical stuff the gingrich campaign screwed up, leaving jc watts twice in one day. serve as the lookout for the gingrich campaign bus, because knew when he would arrive. church micro foeps didn't work. micro phones. a call scheduled for saturday morning never took place the dial-in number was invalid. campaign set up a new number for saturday night call with florida voters. the number worked but there was nothing but silence on the other end of the line when the moderator introduced the first two questioners. the issue was resolved not before mr. gingrich raised an important question, i wonder if we're having a technical problem. including not being on the ballot in his home state of virginia, the gingrich campaign seems to have successfully bullied out of their strongest line of attack against mitt romney, which of course was mr. romney's career at bain capital. having essentially withdrawn that line of attack now, which looks like a display of weakness by mr. gingrich and surrendering strategic advantage he had against mr. romney, withdr

it made it so much easier to unite the world and make a better logistically than ever before. >> so it's about 50 miles across? >> yes. it's an area of about 800 square kilometers. >> panama has always been key to trade. the whole spanish idea was to get cold from one place and get it moving across panama and back to europe? >> right. the portobello trade fairs, we were that. now it's even better. the canal turned over to panama in 1999. we were able to get the most out of those areas, more airports, more facilities that its services to the ships. it is a completely different vision than when the americans had it. initially it was to get ships across and now it is protected and we can take a lot of those areas and to more services and everything in order to have more commercial. >> panama as a huge trading hub. >> the american troops and administration, to take some of those bases which are airports and new technology, to make more ports and airports and now we are a big hub not only with the ships, airplanes, trains and trucks, but with technology. we were the first country to have wifi

it sounds like that would be logistically, perhaps, difficult to enforce. any thoughts from the staff on that? >> with respect to matching public funds for non-incumbents, it would be as stated here. it is really just creating a different system, who won for incumbents and one for non incumbents. dodge there is only one incumbent per race. >> incumbents by virtue of incumbency have been through the process already. complicating it just a little bit more is not the same as making it more complicated for everybody. >> in terms of treating incumbents differently, the many people i have talked to, that is one recurring theme, not that everybody said it, a fair number of people said that incumbents already have the benefits of incumbency, why should they get public money at all? why should they -- in response to a perception that incumbents should have to do a little bit more work and maybe get a little bit less money. in that sense, it responds to that perception. >> other comments from the commissioners in respect to the proposed legislation? >> i was going to

he works for a logistics firm. the company employs over 9000 people globally. >> personally, i find the labor market really is good for job seekers right now. my own career illustrates that. after finishing university, i spent a year and a half in hamburg. they actually had hunted me. i did not have to apply. >> at the moment, it is skilled workers in sectors like information technology who can pick and choose where they work, but in the next two decades, germany's labor market is expected to change radically. >> for many people, we are still some way from what could be termed a workers choice labor market. but demographic change will mean that in real terms, the number of people available for work in germany will drop by about a quarter. we have seen nothing like that in recent decades, and there is no chance that it will have an impact on the labor market. >> the battle to attract skilled pworkers has already started. the right salary is important, but it is not the only factor. two years ago, his boss build a ne

there is a lot of logistics to sort out.t is good to go with someone who knows what they are talking about or nonprofit organizations who are there to help these types of communities and these types of individuals. >> do you have folks who come in and they did seek the help of a corrupt attorney, if you will, and then by that time they get to you it might be too late because they already signed the paperwork? >> we have had a couple of cases where we try to help as much as possible. i have to say we have seen a couple of cases where people sought out the help of lawyers who aren't too familiar with immigration. it could jeopardize their case. >> this proposed law is meant to speed up the process or make it easier? >> it's meant to make it easier. for example, to apply for people seeking green cards you can apply for the waiver of unlawful presence of being in the u.s. while being in this country. before you had to go to your country and wait there and afly the waiver. if you were out of the country and it was a no then you w

and also, just the logistics about it. president yee: we're hoping that it's going to be held at the middle school. actually, i got to come back around. i called the principal and somebody else answered, the principal wasn't there. i wanted to talk to the principal to make sure that this is available before i made the announcement. but that's what i'm targeting, the middle school. just to let everybody know, we're talking about the morning , from 8:30 to about 12:30. any other? commissioner murase. commissioner murase: i want to express my strong support for this endeavor. i think it's very exciting to be invited to participate in something that has national implications. and just to remind board members of the sad fact that california prison populations are based on third grade literacy numbers. how many kids who are -- who can't read in third grade are assumed to end up in jail. so there really is very little that's more important than making sure that our kids are able to read at grade level. so i will be supporting thi

i know how much time they had to think about all of the logistics involved here, but maybe they didn't have just thought that by today's sounds like a figure to get started on. based on what i have heard tonight and based on the complexities of the issue, it doesn't sound right to me that this is something that can be handled in 90 days. if it can result in such draconian actions as people being hit with a severe fine, that is not been job of government. i never like to

the logistics'.it is more practical. >> on the question about sewage and getting government to pay attention to that, the whole in d.c. area, the principal and just. he cannot understand why we cannot get african leaders to focus on sanitation. he believes the lack of sanitation and the lack of focus on sewage causes malaria. we need to keep thinking that is

i spoke specifically on the logistical point and the constitutions and timetables. there were so many laws that have been issued within the timetable set forth. we had so many things from people on this point we did not feel any results, and i tried to talk quite transparently about all subjects. first law to the lift the state of emergency. how can a country to lift the state of emergency, but any country will impose the state. we insisted on lifting the state of emergency, and few syrian citizens accused us of allows closeness. when there is a state of emergency there are certain rules to follow and there are certain procedures to be followed. no country would allow a lawlessness in their country. to lift the state of emergency there are the -- those, the police need to control it. some of those who are working for the security haven't taken leave for ages in order to see their families. when there is act of sabotage and act against the laws that will get west hundred folds and that's why we need results. we need to deal with the reasons. we work to stop these act
