it will affect all of those students and many many more. we have great counselors that support the students in case they are struggling. the counselors are excellent. without city college, i think many of these students will just go by the way side and it will be a large population of more homeless people, people with no hope in anything. skyline is a 2-hour bus ride from san francisco. that's a half of a person -- the jc is down sizing our college. i don't know why, but it maybe they are trying to sell out our businesses and some foundations so they can make more money. i ask if you can all continue to help the city college be accessible and affordable and open to all people regardless of race and gender. >> what was your name for the record? >> bridget skeeb a. >> thank you, are there any other speakers? please come forward. we are going to wrap up the hearing in a moment. thank you. >> hi. my name is veeld. i'm a life coach also an activist with the safe cc coalition. i have a brochure with all the career and technical education program

things for many defy types of folks. wire super proud to have our ribbon cutting. some of you have had a tour and you'll be able to see all the wonderful things. a little bit about some of the things we did if develop this space is it was very important that we use green building design standards. so in all of our construction of the project and so many of the things the lighting for example, the heating and cooling systems all done with lead compliant standards and then in the near future we'll be using solar on the roof and generating such as 75 percent of our power requirements here. so very green approach to the space. so this is the home of our consumer product groups headed up by this lady and as well as our advanced research groups that's doing bioresearch. so i think without further ado it's my great pleasure to introduce the audit desks president ceo ceo and chief maker. carl was instrumental if helping us choose the equipment and he's capable of working with everything in the shop so carl (clapping) >> good mor

he lead many of the programs but the latter is the giant sweep how many know about that. last year the giants one the world series and the way they won it was through tomato te teamwo teamwork. with your help we're going making san francisco being the cleanest and greatest city in the world. let me introduce our mayor, may i mayor ed lee. thank you mohammed pardon me morning lou sell and sweep i didn't you how you doing (laughter) well everybody thank you for being here at the civic center it's cool to be squad car. that he betsy ca mistake thank you forecoming out. many of you will have a chance to work with us main you'll get a job at the square. well, i want to thank mohammed for the giant sweep we want this and as of today 20 thousand youth in our san francisco city as signed the pledge to keep our neighborhoods clean and beautiful. hobby that? 20 thours thousand. i love the fact that our new neighborhood company square it was about to move in and i want to thank jack dorsey as a leader here to connect up with the employees of square because we have some 17 projects i

as i look around i see many, many people who are instrumental in helping this project get started. as many of you know building a project it's not a typical building or a typical use your typical site and we worked closely with many of the people both on architecture and construction and people in the city government and people at the port. everybody was wonderful. it's making up it seems like months ago it was a crazy idea and now it is already people have peeked in and seen is it. it's what everything wants. we're really excited about it. for in developing our software so groups include the structurally group and it distributes the work and we have the tools to make what people want to make but also our advanced research group. so we have an advanced group here looking at the future of manufacturing. so we're happy to are participate and it's my pleasure to be here. under were so many people that contributed. i'll just tell you there's nothing for fun i've been working on a go-cart and trying out the equipment and a calibrating the machines but there's nothing more fun than the t

, many years. and what we started on day one was not what we were going to have in year 4 or year 10 or year 15 or year 20. eventually we get to be able to have a build out. the mayor also said that we would be providing power from -- shell will be providing power from out of state. actually shell provided the public utilities commission last month with a letter saying that they will be committed to providing power within the state of california using power from hydro and wind power sources. and, so, we're seeing while there was really good effort from the mayor to be able to respond, provide words to our questions, they weren't necessarily the accurate words. now, i know that the mayor doesn't actually write his responses to us. his staff do that. so, i would think the mayor would be concerned about getting the most accurate information to present to the full board about what he's talking about. that clearly wasn't the case -- wasn't the case today. so, we have a real political problem here in san

and many more weddings to the celebrated in san francisco many more. i know all of you have had some of those feelings before just maybe over 9 years ago and, of course, in 2008 when i had the prim of sharing that moment. i want to thank all the people behind me it's an incredible history. mayor willie brown is there (clapping) >> at the state level back in those years all of our members of the board of supervisors. thank you. our elected officials from the treasure to the our state assembly is here. and commissioners and staff and everybody from the city family our city attorney thank you for your wonderful work. wonderful work. (clapping) ladies and gentlemen in those times in those moments when people like phyllis stooped and said we're not going to take discrimination we're going to do something about it. when stuart and john looked for courage in people and they found one person among in one person who used the power of his office to make history by also to express the love of this city because that's the most important thing you love the city you

and of all the many organizations that she worked for, her many years as a professional registered parliament tarn, this was the only one she was working for. she was teaching workshops and volunteering as apartmentparliament taern and she needed to be here every other tuesday night for the meeting. i will miss her. and i think that her activities here and in many other organizations, she was 94 years old and she was still active and pretty much full speed ahead. i think the fact that you kept her busy contributed a lot to that. and thank you. >> i didn't know i was going to speak but -- last week when i spoke it was kind of in shock because my data just passed. but today is a day of total joy. this woman was 93 years old and she lived everyday and she -- we need to be all we can be at that level. i do want to just give you two big thumbs up to -- i know to tell you how good you are, first of all, first of at all video production, these people, you guys are great. this distribution of the information, i'm in video, i make projects for the ipad and i'm going, i want to be able to see myself so

isn't beach i thing is the kind of topic that will certainly resonate with many people in moscow but i assume that for many americans it's not just a provocative topic some may perceive that as simply and patch are already on the part well you know i thought that patriotism is rather weak in the united states today but i think americans are very weary they're not particularly patriotic right now and they feel under a great deal of stress and so they're not really thinking in terms of patriotism in the way that they once did especially during the cold war now i think that there are a couple of words in the political science vocabulary imperialism being one of them that are sort of dirty i mean the ones who use them you risk being classified as well conspiracy theories there may be an american hater but as far as i understand your main message is not so much about the if america is a great nation but rather the end of third policies by the united states government that you view as no longer sustainable yes definitely and in fact i also find the term somewhat problematic because it's ve

but in the country, you see many, many, many. and sometimes you also are moved. you get that sort of emotional... all of a sudden you're connected, all of a sudden-- and you're not quite connected and you start to wonder and you wonder what is going on out there and then you realize there are more stars in the sky than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of the world. honey, a lot of grains of sand, more stars. not in your visible view, but out beyond. and you wonder is there a pattern that dictates what those stars are doing, why they shine, how they move, how they relate to one another? and you know what? there is a pattern. there's a pattern to the whole cosmos. we're gonna talk about that pattern in detail. would you like to see the pattern? i'll put it right up there on the board. you wanna see it? here it is. that's it gang. that's called the universal law of gravitation and that law of gravitation was developed by, guess whom? isaac newton. you know what? a lot of people think that isaac newton discovered gravity. he didn't, the cavemen knew about

a future that will include many many jobs. we in the san francisco building trades have been building this city for 117 years now. we count on that being just the first 117 years. on this project being a part of starting us towards many more succession of 117 years to come. one more thing. i have a pass here also. you see those cords, they are called floats. i started hanging floats for that company. there is a past towards the future for me as well. with that, leaders pelosi, i would say let's pour some concrete and start ourselves towards the future. [ applause ] >> thank you, mike. now i would like to invite our speakers to sign and put some gloves on and put their i am imprint in the concrete for history. >>> 4, 3, 2, 1. [ applause ] >> it has been amazing. the people have been so gracious and so supportive of what we're doing. the energy here is fantastic with so many couples getting married. it's just been an absolutely fantastic experience, so wonderful. >> by the power vested in me, i declare you spouses for life. >> t

in recent years, we have had too many pedestrian accidents.here are estimates it costs our cities several hundred millions a year because of traffic accidents, injuries, and fatalities. i am asking one of our transit agencies to study where we're spending our dollars around the district and whether we invested more money would help to reduce our overall costs that come when a pedestrian is hit by a car. >> let's talk about crime in your district. how is the police department doing? do you have any thoughts on how the city is dealing with crime? >> crime rates have been down, particularly violent crime rates and homicides. that is a good thing. in the first few weeks of 2011, homicides have started to climb back up. we have to be ever vigilant about crimes occurring in all of our neighborhoods. i have been generally satisfied with much of the activity of the san francisco police department. in my district on nob hill, we have always had too many automobile break-ins. on polk street, there are many incidences of drug dealing and prostitution. in

i spear heated the bicycle education and take the many, many thousand kinds of the and over 12 hundred taxi drivers. he spurred the core overlooks in a partnership with the sfmta as well as fought for the bike lanes. he affectionate to help minnesota drivers share the road. mark as his powerful advocacy will be missed by the his racing buddies are that i want to read this proclamation that's been signed. whereas mark has been a member of the bicyclist coalition and began his career as the geek and traffic champ and mark is a beloved member of the san francisco community who's starting a new charter departing september 5th where he's helped traffic citywide. whereas mark has spearheaded the bicycle program and he led the bike corals and made a video to teach people to drive safely on the road. we do hereby commend and over this award as well as wishing him well, as he relocated. our office is calling for a hearing on how sfpd to look into bicyclist accidents. i can't tell you highway that small thing you did how i went around to the businesses and asked for videotape we wouldn't have sh

we must know a lot about many topics.ide the ministry, we have contact with people from many areas. it helps us discuss and have a better view from many areas. especially i like a lot of psychology and geopolitics. it is important to understand the environment and the people. i am my circumstance. if you can understand the people and the circumstance, it is easier to understand what has happened, what can happen. it is important to understand the person and the circumstance, so you can have a better relation and a better understanding of that. >> it has certainly been a pleasure to have you on the program today. i want to wish you all the best on your personal and professional endeavors in the future. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for watching our program today. i will see you next time. 

the bric countries or with the proposed eurasian union many different kinds of configurations which will represent alternatives to a purely u.s. led the order and i think this message of you know the end of the american erase perceived very negatively by many americans because it has some fabulous the connotations the bad but. i think many people misunderstand the what the world is really asking for is not the again the island of america because the united states can still have a very productive and significant influence on the well both politically and economically but i guess a more fair system a system that would be more thought thoughtful in that way while i think you're absolutely right and i think american empire for lack of a better word which is what we saw after world war two it was very bad for the united states and so i think some retraction back from this global leadership is actually a good thing it's good for the united states we have to remember the way that the united states got rich historically before world war two it was having a very very small peacetime military

many people think yogurt is healthy. how many grams of sugar are in plain yogurt? seven, seven grams of sugar in a plane plain yogurt. how much in a pomegranate 19. are you okay with that? the bottom line is yogurt is occupying the health space. >> unfortunately, we've got to interrupt you because we're up against the end of the show. there are so many foods and drinks and juices that have enormous amounts of sugar and people should go to your book and read about it because there are hidden sugars in all sorts of food. we thank you for being on with us. the show is over. please go to our website and

and i think it is well worth keeping in mind that for many, many, many years, ten, to be precise, there has been a network of strong connections between the syrian regime and al qaeda in iraq, connections originally used to facilitate the movement of these characters through syria in to iraq, connections which i strongly suspect still exist. >> with that i want to thank fred and matt. i want to congratulate that once again, i urge everyone here to buy a copy of the book on the way out and really wish this goes to the top of the new york times best-seller list of what a week is done. congratulations.

first of all, they're very tight-lipped on how many bodies were there under the rubble, how many hostages were there when the mall collapsed. they're also not faked how many of the again men were there. if their bodies are still there. information is still coming out. investigators are doing forensics. they are carrying out how the attack was done and all of the things that should be done in terms of what is going in there. we've been out here. and it will be a long time before we know exactly happened. >> thank you so much. that's mohammed who will be joining us from my row by. >>> i want you to sit down after fuel prices overnight. it comes after the third day of protest. armed police responded with tear gas and arrest. internet access was caught nationwide to stop activists from sharing photos of the protest on social media. >>> india's prime minister is describing an attack as barbar barbaric. gunmen stormed a police stage. the attackers were used as a military base. >>> getting closer to agree on a resolution on how to deal with syria's chemical weapons. they're ironing out their dif

. -- so many people. when i introduced myself to some friend or relatives and say ok, i am working as a professional congress organizer, you can look at their face, they always wonder what -- >> exactly what you do. >> and what do you mean by professional congress organizer or meeting planner? everybody can do it. so it is quite different. nowadays, people know our industry, and there are more people are a more organizational company that they think it's kind of professional. so when they organize meetings or congress, they would like to have someone outside the organization helping them to organize their event. >> ok. what was the development process of the meeting industry in taiwan? why is it called m.i.c.e.? what does the acronyms stand for? >> as far as i know, it was created by a professor in the hawaii university? m for meeting, i for incentive, c for conference, e -- if i speak further for the meeting as my personal definition, it would be corporate meetings. i is for incentives. incentives means

many residents have heard stories of placard abuse. i believe those recommendations can increase access while promoting fairness while reducing abuse. i know that people with disabilities are paying the price. there are disability advocates and worked closely with the mayor's office. according to the mathematical san francisco has twice as many brakes with hundreds of thousands of brakes issued by other bay city's. they suggest that plagued abuse it common place and they confiscate several brakes every year. enforcement is not enough we need the right rules to stimulate the right behavior. and brakes should help the disabled and that's why we have the number of unmetered blue spots adding many more spots. i want to have enforcement easier with increased oversight by the dmv and making the plagued photos available. another recommendation is out of the advisory committee is disability brakes shouldn't mean parking for unlimited time which is law school san francisco to requirement meter payments. i'm committed to working with the mayor's

and many iranians think that.day there are some agreement over the nuclear issue, tomorrow united states will come back with another demand saying that oh, what are you going to do about supporting hamas and what are you going to do about supporting hezbollah so iranians think that nuclear issue is just an excuse to put pressure on iran. >> but the big problem inside iran and for ordinary iranians is of course the impact of the sanctions, rauhani is under pressure to get them lifted and improve iran's economy with a lot of people suffering there. >> exactly. many iranians even are not articulated iranians new the economic misery to some extent is because of previous government administration and the economy. but what percent are you prepared to allocate for the miss management of this? the point is many iranian believe no matter how competent you have people running the economy as long as you have this huge sanctions and iran cannot sell oil and cannot transfer money outside iran and get the money to the country,

how many open directors meeting there are and now we have many opening notices there are but the opening, and this is unknown number as well and some of the directors hearing are open and they have been found in favor of the city but they have never gone anywhere else and never been pushed to the litigation department or the committee and i was wondering. what happened? what happens to these, these cases where they don't seem to go anywhere. what do we do about that? >> and i was wondering also if we could get the information by zip code. and the department enforces the vacant building ordinance, and i was wondering if there was any interest in looking at that as far as the notice of violation, and i was wondering also if there were any changes or improvements over what we know from before, to the notice of violation process. >> thank you. >> any further public comment? >> okay. >> seeing none, item 8 a, commissioners questions and matters inquiries to staff, at this time, commissioners may make inquiry to staff regarding various documents, policies practices and procedures which are of

many would like to see the two governments get along better. >> translator: so many young south koreans dislike japan. i worry by the time the next generation comes along, this animosity will only get worse. >> reporter: this mother is taking steps to get her son to view japanese in the better light. she lives in seoul. she was concerned by his friends. she says some students don't know much about japan. >> translator: the children think badly of japan without knowing much about the country. they hate japan without any understanding. >> reporter: and she wanted them to see the japanese more objectively. they went to a special social event at the japan embassy. during the gathering, the children had a chance to tryout the culture for themselves. >> translator: my son learned about the activities of japanese children. i want him to experience japanese culture instead of just feeding on animosity. >> reporter: a movement is in the way to understand the good intention of the japanese and learn about their culture. this may be what both governments need to improve relations. shohei yano, nhk

we had a progressive movement that ended the corruption in many, many of these states and many of thesehave reformers coming in and basically beginning to change america so that it worked for everyone. now that's been the story of america. it happened again in the '30s, it happened again in the '60s. it can and will happen again. >> in the meantime, we can go see "inequality for all," a film by jake kornbluth and robert reich. rob reich, thank you very much for being with me. >> thank you, bill. >> robert reich's optimism is a tonic. but the rich don't seem ready to take the cure. look at this recent study, "democracy and the policy preferences of wealthy americans." according to the report there is little or no support among the rich for reform that would reduce income inequality. yet according to "forbes" magazine, the 400 richest americans are now worth a combined $2 trillion. that, while new figures from the census bureau show that the typical middle class family makes less than it did in 1989. the two americas are growing further and further apart. at our website, billmoyers.com, t

services for many of the homeless. potrero hill and southeast health centers are health centers in those particular communities that are family health centers, so they provide health care to patients across the age span. . >> many of our clients are working poor. they pay their taxes. they may run into a rough patch now and then and what we're able to provide is a bridge towards getting them back on their feet. the center averages about 14,000 visits a year in the health clinic alone. one of the areas that we specialize in is family medicine, but the additional focus of that is is to provide care to women and children. women find out they're pregnant, we talk to them about the importance of getting good prenatal care which takes many visits. we initially will see them for their full physical to determine their base line health, ad then enroll them in prenatal care which occurs over the next 9 months. group prenatal care is designed to give women the opportunity to bond during their pregnancy with other women that have

but in the country, you see many, many, many. and sometimes you also are moved. you get that sort of emotional... all of a sudden you're connected, all of a sudden-- and you're not quite connected and you start to wonder and you wonder what is going on out there and then you realize there are more stars in the sky than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of the world. honey, a lot of grains of sand, more stars. not in your visible view, but out beyond. and you wonder is there a pattern that dictates what those stars are doing, why they shine, how they move, how they relate to one another? and you know what? there is a pattern. there's a pattern to the whole cosmos. we're gonna talk about that pattern in detail. would you like to see the pattern? i'll put it right up there on the board. you wanna see it? here it is. that's it gang. that's called the universal law of gravitation and that law of gravitation was developed by, guess whom? isaac newton. you know what? a lot of people think that isaac newton discovered gravity. he didn't, the cavemen knew about

and like supervisor avalos, i do represent a district made up of many immigrants and many of whom which also care very much about public safety. so, today i really just want to say that i want to thank supervisor kim for bringing forth the ideas for proposed amendments that we will consider at the next board meeting. and again, although it is not something that, you know, i agree with every single aspect, i think that it has reached a good balance and compromise where all of us can hopefully eventually agree. so, with that, again, i want to thank supervisor avalos and supervisor kim. >> supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. [gavel] >> i'll ask for people's respect here in the chamber, please. thank you. supervisor cohen. >> the beautiful thing about being in this country as such you have the right to articulate your views in a safe space. and as advocates, we need to protect every person's rights even when we don't agree with them. supervisor avalos, thank you very much for stepping up and bringing this legislation before us. i'm happy to be one of your supporters. several weeks ago

many initially down played the quester's effect. what's ahead for the country's spending as we head toward to new round of cuts? we will ask dan mitchell in washington, d.c., a senior fellow at the cato institute. thank you both for joining us tonight. josh, a few months into 2013, goldman sachs' head economist who wrote the new report said in april the sequester had "little impact so far"." with his new report running counter, what changed in five months? >> i think the story is still not so bad. it's a negative for the economy but it's not an especially large one. what the goldman report found is that instead of 0.2% in income growth in the month, we had many federal workers furloughed. those are supposed to end at the end of the summer. that's a temporary effect. the main effect is these 10 years of budget caps that it creates. not only did we have spending cuts this year, fairly low levels of government spending on both defense and non-defense discretionary spending. that's a drag in the economy. state local governments had been

many of these men many and middle class white america weren't really privy to all the police brutality happening in the u.s. and in fact many community organizers here in l.a. who worked in poor minority neighborhoods warned the occupiers to not get too cozy with the police and in the end the occupiers and the hard away police brutality was and how the state can really crack down violently on political dissent very well put yeah i remember in oakland kind of the police cracking down in my backyard and there was one particular mark during the day where there was tear gas canisters and smoke grenades being launched you know mothers pushing babies and carriages it was really shocking very very shocking many on the flip side though there have been plenty of criticisms of course on occupy from the establishment the corporate media a lot of other people what do you think the biggest pitfall of this movement was i think it's it would be unfair to say that the movement fail if it gets erroneous when we hear people say oh occupy failed they were able to mobilize enough and organize and get a le

, many other wlor here today. i can't believe we're here and it's so great to share this exist day with you and this exciting new chapter in homeless services and a principle care for our most vulnerable co- citizens of san francisco. i'm very happy to have you all here. i'll make a quick program note there is a little reversible in the order just bear with us if it looks like the order is out of order. i wanted to - color to the mike - okay. i want to acknowledge what a shift this is what this day represents for us as a city as a health department and a clinic especially a clinic two clinics that came together to become one. two clinics that were flagship clinics to provide high quality care and advocacy for our vulnerable residents. we've been innovator long before some of you saw early today in pushing the boundaries and setting higher standards of care for those who have long been overlooked and now we have thanks to the commitment of so many people a beautiful place to symbolize that commitment and the distri

i haven't heard many new voices. and the community is divided. some of the leaders on the political side of the resistance are christians. but the bishops, in particular, have clung to the assad regime because it's protected them for so many years. >> is there a concern that acting -- if the u.s. did act, that it could stoke some of those interreligious tensions? >> oh, there's a deep fear that if the west intervenes, it'll be seen as a crusade of christians against muslims. and so, you would expect that al qaeda and others would go after the christians in the country. >> but for you, again, the most important reason for your opposition has to do with -- >> with the need to protect the people in whatever ways we can and that are now practical. >> and do you think that there is -- that we can do that? >> i think that means can be found internally through the committee of the red cross, which does that normally. >> father drew christiansen, many thanks to you. >> thank you, bob. thank you, kim. >>> this coming week, the nation once again marks the

in many cases, in many cases. and, you know, i don't have either, but i suppose i think that when it affects me, that's when i have a say in it and religion effects me. it real. >> see, i find it an irony when people attack you on twitter for challenging them about religious believes they show total disrespect for your belief of atheist. >> of course, you know, i think people do -- well first of all, we're on to twitter now. so we're not into rational discussion. everyone takes everything personally on twitter. you know, twitter is like standing by a board in the town center and someone comes and puts up a sign guitar lessons and you go i don't want guitar lessons. not to you. one of the best tweets i've had is everyone is entitled to their opinion so keep quiet about your athiesm. >> i was pretending to be offended by something you said and we carried this on all day and the number of people completely believing that we had genuinely fallen out was extraordinary. >> i think the world is sort of losing their sense

consistent for the obama agenda all leading from behind race obviously they're still in talks with many of the countries and there are only just the arms are still being flown into the region as for example the saudi arabia and qatar who are the main receivers of american arms are also very active on that front so they may not be intervening directly in terms of standing troops and having troops on the ground but obviously the impact on the country of syria where the war is waging is quite significant only this i mean i wouldn't differ with you on that and again i'm not arguing that they're completely disengaging i'm just saying just as you suggested that the character of the engagement is different and it does represent though a certain scaling back i mean when you don't send tens or even hundreds of thousands of boots on the groaned that's a different kind of engagement and it does suggest the united states that it's becoming more cautious and a bit weaker so on the whole i think this is actually a positive trend i would like to see of course the united states disengaged even further
