on mason street, it was real vibrant. it was, they even had a little buritto store right there and a bunch of other things there. but, i want to support this, but i also to make a neighborhood better. sometimes you have to put a lot of effort into it and so what i started doing is i got into this with the people that do graffiti removal and i adopted a (inaudible) and the second (inaudible) and so i would go out like once a week or twice a week and make a difference. because i think that if they see neighbors actually living in the neighborhood doing things on those blocks. you know, just cleaning some things, or whatever, you don't have to confront them or anything like that. just, sometimes you have to just take back a street. and then because the police presence there it really works on the corner there because i live at 12 turk and i think that the presence of the neighbors would really move them along because we are seeing that we are taking black those blocks. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker, please? >> hello,

about two blocks from masonic. they will move all street parking from both sides of masonic and they will reduce the travel lanes during rush hour because during many years there is an extra lane onrush hours and that will be reduced. they put platforms and that will reduce the travel lanes when there is a bus boarding. basically in terms of how this will affect disabled people it going to make it harder to find parking and will make the neighborhood congested and there will be spill over effects onto the side streets which are now uncongested and pleasant and safe. there is a lot of ways this can be improved without spending $20 million, how am i doing on time? >> one of the things that mta claims is that this project has overwhelming community support. that is just baloney. i never received notice. nobody on my block received notice. i have spoken with dozens of people in the neighborhood and almost nobody has received notice. notice is done through selective outreach. i'm involved in a group of neighborhood peop

he has been chasing down his dream since he arrived at mason four years ago. >> george mason's david verberg is not an overnight success, was not born with crazy speed or height. but his speed has come, he earned every second with it. you may have seen him on national tv last year as he represented the patriots at the u.s. olympic trials. >> it is a great feeling, walking onto hayward field and seeing the 10,000 fans. i was like wow. >> reporter: poised for success by a strong family at home, but the time he raced in oregon, his journey was well in motion. >> we finally settled down in lynchburg for a while, i ended up graduating there. my parents just moved. my mom is a doctor, dad is a professor, they found different jobs they wanted and went for it. >> reporter: it was the school size that led mason, he was young, with work ethic and progress. >> he can still get better. i think most athletes, you know, it is one of those things where they're not sure what it actually takes to work hard. and once they actually push themselves past whatever they thought they could get to, then that

as we move up we get to fort mason center. what do we know about fort mason? >> fort mason was dated back pretty far. most of what we see there was built during the first world war for troops and material. and it was expanded again in the second world war for the same purpose. part of the army base that's been there ever since, united states has controlled california. >> now it is used as essentially public use. >> yes. >> that is the golden gate national (speaker not understood). >> within golden gate national recreation area. and this little harbor here, is this gaslight cove, is that what the area is called?

mason and in the same day being able to hear kila and angela mcnamera. it was a sonic history lesson in a day. the best thing was, you could talk to any of the people who were there and you could have that history lesson expanded for you. being able to interact with folks like photographer karen rich, who is sitting in the audience right now, being able to interact with kong on his album, bridge across the blue, these events i really don't think that can be taken lightly. for urban american indians we have powwow which are intertribal events that revolve around a shared repertoire of songs and dances like some of the singing you have heard me do here today. it's a time for people to be able to come together, not for the casinos, not for that part. talk about fighting stereotypes, that's a stereotype for us. yes, we have casinos, but that all of our culture? no. it's not all we are here to be defined by. for most people, especially in urban areas, powwows are places to go to reconnect. powwows are places you go to see people you haven't seen in a long tim

with 34 mason i would support this item as is. thank you, mr. president. i want to thank my colleagues for their comments i appreciate the comments from supervisor wiener as a gay man myself i know that the cameras can violate people's privacy. and it certainly something i think we need to have a larger discussion about. i think that my office is working with supervisor wiener when those cameras are appropriate and a type of this application. i think we as a city need to have is a discussion about that the same way we had a discussion about whether or not cameras should be installed at certain streets. in the context of this matter i feel that the issues that i would expected to have seen or heard were not there to having cameras here. i'm not sure that a policy that takestomy it ad hoc case by case i think that supervisor wiener is right we need to have a policy that's broader. i didn't hear with the matter came to a committee i didn't hear any specific concerns from in establishment about the policy issues if i had heard it i probably would have a differ

i'm at 1468 masonic. our home is probably one of the oldest there, 1880s, victorian.nd i've heard that either the first or near the first home that was in the neighborhood. and, so, i guess my basic interest is kind of preserve the nature of the neighborhood. i feel that, you know, the character of the project next to matt's house really doesn't fit in with the neighborhood. i've seen other projects in the neighborhood that unfortunately, you know, also don't fit in and don't fit in with the character. so, hopefully i consider that -- you take this into consideration and, you know, not extend the project, not impact the neighborhood which i feel in a negative way. thank you very much. >> next speaker. >>> my name is william gene. my family is fourth, fifth generation county farmers. we live right next door to martin, the subject property at 615-617 buena vista park. my family's home was built in 1906. it's a registered historical landmark that needs to be preserved. and i think i'll cut through the rest of it here, but there's plenty of homes in the neighborhood that

"huffington post" reporting the montreal alouettes say they would welcome tebow provided he's willing to compete for a back-up quarterback position as their starting quarterback is a 20-year veteran and isn't going anywhere. >> bill: does he still do the tebow? >> he didn't do it once with the jets. because he barely played. he royally screwed up. i do think that we may have seen the last of tim tebow in the nfl. i think he'll go somewhere else. >> bill: he'll start a chicken franchise or something. >> he could start a steak restaurant. tim tebow's t-bone. that would be perfect. already got the name for it. >> b

joe mason wrote it. joe what's the typical story you've seen? > > the first thing is identity thieves really don't discriminate on time of year but they are particularly interested in tax time. there is a lot of sensitive information being shared, a lot of money exchanging hands and what they're doing with respect to children is they are obatining social security numbers of children that are issued typically at a very early age. and they are using those social security numbers to file fraudulent tax returns. and they are the ones collecting the refund checks on behalf of your child. > > why is a child's id so attractive to bad guys? > > the reason why a child's identity is attractive to a thief is because the parents aren't looking out for any suspicious activity. and child identity theft unfortunately can go on for years without being detected. and to put it in perspective, 1 out of every 40 kids that's like one child on the schoolbus is likely to be a victim of child identity theft before they turn 18. tax time is attractive to thieves for chi
