or there might be a long wait. we do have certain recommendations in collaboration with the district attorney's office that we saw as opportunities for improvement. the first is for the da's office to service the initial point of entry and they can provide the different services and provide them advocacy groups so that they can get the best service available. 311 in terms of calls received is one of the biggest problems, with it being 8-5 operation, victims did not have the resources to necessarily get a voice mail after 5:00. this way 3811 would have the opportunity to provide them with available resources, connecting them to the police department if it is something that needs immediate assistance, or perhaps even handling the intake of the district attorney -- district attorney's office. we would handle the attack using the sierra -- using the intake with a tracking number so that they fail their address has been taking care of, and we think there might be a possibility of implementing a calendar system similar t

so how might we deal with some of this? one of the things the projects have been looking at is what would be the implication of continuing with our current policy of managing urban drainage, managing river flooding, and managing coastal defense? what we can see is that the storage solutions we're dealing with problems in urban areas, the cost of those would be likely to increase something between two and four times present day values. if we move to a policy of storage retention to increase conveyance, we can contain that cost a little bit. the cost rises are not so high there, two to 2.3 times present day values, but that does not account for the impact on the urban communities, the disruption and loss of businesses that would be caused by that reconstruction of our urban systems. if we were to control the discharges to present day impact standards, then we will be looking at something like 3 to 10 times the cost of managing the discharges and overflows. and as has already been said today, given that our investment in infra

or might not want to use. it's just a question of how we would monitor the system if we were going to use that technology. just to clarify, these type of the installations feed directly into the grid. there needs to be no new transmission lines per anything like that. any questions? the next step, we just want to hear your thoughts about this. we were just asked to put some brief information together. we also haven't talked to the sfpc about the viability. we just want to hear if we should look into this? >> first, i want to thank you for unearthing this information. knowing what i know of it, a think it is very worthwhile to pursue to see how this might factor in to the larger design and strategy of implementing a clean energy program. especially the way it is exhibited here, how fast as the new jersey program? >> i know that pfe & g is the largest utility in the state, they have something like 200,000 utility poles. i read somewhere that it is the largest pulled out solar program in the world. supervisor mir

i can't speak for them, but they might have to go back to do that. i am assuming the two weeks to do a count that time frame, too. supervisor mirkarimi: any other incentives like a gift basket? >> giants tickets. supervisor mirkarimi: nothing else? anything further on this subject? the only other question i have, we were looking to have a joint meeting in november, and i think this conversation is predicated on a need for that particular meeting. what is our projection of still wanted to have that meeting? >> it will be on a later agenda item. we were planning on having its november 12 because it would be immediately following the issuance of the final scoring interview to have a discussion about what we do next, moving forward the negotiations. i would recommend that we leave november open for a joint meeting, but not settle on a date until we are meeting at a point that is actually relevant to the process, and not just meeting because it was the first day. >> will we have to the to beat about? >> if we are ready to go in the bidding, they have been

and this might have been a typical response. the fact that everyone is station around to make sure nothing goes wrong is probably due to the heightened sensitivity due to what happened in the city of san bruno. >> reporter: originally the city manager told us that all of downtown was basically blocked off by fire trucks and the emergency drew crews down there. no access. what they are telling us now is at least part of the area is open around the area and they're doing the best to clear this up. christie smith, today in the bay. >> thank you. the raiders have a new starting quarterback. he will start sunday in arizona. they benched the starter after just a game and a half. he replaced campbell in the second half of last sunday's game and sparked the raiders to a win. the philadelphia daily news getting headlines. it refers to michael vick as top dog. vick is now the starting qb for the eagles and he had legal trouble over dogs. vick and the eagles are coming in three weeks and you can see that game here on nbc bay area. >> one r

they might be able to pass it on to their customers, who might have less disposable income and might be less tolerant and might not by as much. which would go directly to the top and bottom line. supervisor mirkarimi: that was the same logic would help the san francisco about the fees associated with restaurants and eating establishments that had to pass on those cost, that we would be able to establish our own version of a san francisco universal health care type system, correct? quite correct. supervisor mirkarimi: did this guy fall? >> i have not done a complete economic analysis. i would say, however, that the way that the current legislation is designed, being that falls on the wholesaler, it is up to the wholesaler to pass on the cost. they will not care about the size of the retail business. supervisor mirkarimi: from an economic perspective, we are a healthy city. one of the top in the united states. probably one of the happiest cities by those that were polled. probably one of the most beautiful cities in the united states. so, you are thinking that with all of those variabl

if it looks legal, he might count it as a room. otherwise, he may not count it within the square footage. that could affect the value. but looks legal, he may not go unchecked. no window, someone is calling it a room, there is going to be a question of value. >> another big issue in san francisco, or questions of value with regard to if there is a permit or not done for certain work on a property, has to do with the future of potential and someone's intent to condo- converted building. that is a big one. there was a two-unit building where a tax was built -- a deck was built without a permit to be used as a recreational deck, but on the building plans that were approved by the department of building inspection, there were the -- there was the deck shown. the railings on the plan around the surface of this roof deck -- there was a staircase to get up to this, but there was no -- so we had a problem because the building inspection that was done for the sale of the property by the buyer indicated that, well, this cannot be permitted r

the truth and we might benefit, each of us might hold the minority opinion ourselves. if so, we are really protecting ourselves. the only people who know that they will ever be in the position of minority are hypocrites. if this was explained, the president might get corp. but he is not 1 operation or to show respect or promote democracy, the corporate accreditation of our society depends on the -- of the people whenever possible. the fact that you are a superficial, corrupt, inhumane, there is a tremor of instability to the rest of city hall. have a nice to vacations. >> good afternoon, everyone. i'm here if ask the president of the board to create an ordinance that says you should not approve any proposal of any change in design of this sitting and land without proper and adequate about reached including advertising, etc., as rising all parties, especially those affected by the change. no more backroom deals and no more fooling around with the public against our will. let the sun shine in, finally. >> i would like to use the overhead. >> this is my son, you have seen

our facebook friends have raised a stink, you might say -- or i might say, as i just did -- have a pageut how to get rid of them. put them in a container with water and put some dish soap in there and they are gone. >> here's a look at some of our other top stories. in roe plans have been made for the former naval academy -- funeral plans have been made for the former naval academy lacrosse player who was killed in a chopper crash last week. friends and family will gather september 30 at st. john the baptist roman catholic church on new hampshire avenue in silver spring. the search is on for four men who shot a woman during a home invasion in glen burnie. police were called last night to colonial knoll where a man was robbed as he entered the home. when the suspects went inside, a woman was shot in the chest. she was taken to shock trauma and is in stable condition. police believed the victims may have been targeted. call the anne arundel county police if you have information. baltimore county can expect nearly $4.5 million for the blizzard last winter. it is 3/4 of the total associated

as we move forward we might reduce the frequency of this report so save the department time and money. i am mindful going forward we might not always pay as much time to this issue at the commission pleating. -- meeting. i wanted to since we are in our third month now at s-comm to continue speaking with the commissioner. this is the second report on s-comm. it was activated on june 8, 2010. it looks like from our audit it covers a three-month period, june, july, and august, and we gathered as much information as we could. i do have a little outside information from i.c. e. i.c.e. was reported that 10 people have been deported from san francisco in the last three months due to s-comm. of those 10, six have noncriminal back grounds, and only one has been convicted of a serious crime. keep that in mind as we also look at these numbers, as to how many people have been deported. i also wanted to point out some 23459 national staff so we can point out what's happening in san francisco with national stats. what we have here is a brief picture of s-comm. naturally s-comm had been implemented

look like and what the boundaries might be.because unless we have a consensus view it's to easier to criticize the argument so i would like to see some action that addresses the issue of bringing together all the relevant views and put it into something useful for utilities and other stake holders to work with. that would be my first point. nigh second point, really, is to talk a little bit about developing solutions and scenarios of uncertainty. one of the points i picked up from the various documents around the last few days is concept of no regrets. that's certainly something we've used in the, uk. i know it's been used here is a well. this is taking an incremental approach. not starting with the solution today to address all the problems but what can we do now to take it in the right direction in the next 20 years so we won't have to stand up in 20 years and say we should not have done that or even worse, i wish we'd done something 20 years back. i believe peter said, maybe some of us think if we acted in 1997 some of the p

might this goes some way to pay off creditors? >> this is going for about 40,000. how much will this make? >> we think it will make somewhere in the region of 1 million pounds. >> what is the total debt? >> this is somewhere north of 300 billion pounds. this is a drop in the ocean. >> this is worth around 350,000 pounds. you would need 2 million of these to pay off that debt. some of the items are not worth a great deal in and of themselves but they have a special value. you realize what they are a part of. they are all rather symbolic. how about this little commemorative plaque back when gordon brown was a visitor to their new offices just six years ago? we have had a lot of interest in this piece and in a sense it falls into the trophy cabinet of some of the bankers. >> in di, it is the mementos of the crash that have drawn the most attention. the framed corporate statement, their promise that they would not let their shareholders down. >> our main news, in an exclusive interview with bbc persian television, president obama says that comments made by president ma

clear up completely. >> might. >> might. i said might. >> sorry. you're covering yourself. >> yeah, i'm covering myself. >> but look at it. >> it looks pretty good out there. we have an eddy, small low pressure system off the coastline. it's pulling all those clouds well off the coast. and that's why we could clear out completely. but take a look. still looking at some clouds along ocean beach. but we are expecting a fair amount of sunshine for the coast today, as well. so going to be a nice afternoon. sunshine for most, and a little warmer inland today. check that out. temperatures up to the lower 80s. i like that. mostly sunny conditions around the bay with temperatures ranging from the lower 60s to the upper 60s. and a mix of sun and clouds along the coastline. temperatures up to 62 degrees. for tonight, those low clouds move into the bay, move well inland and everybody is looking at temperatures in the lower to the mid-50s. here's a look at our visible satellite. we also have again we call it an eddy. nice little low pre

house. >> you have to think that might be something that will happen. we are getting to a situation where one man, who some of view as a crank running a church, has gotten to a situation where the entire world is on high alert. americans are being warned about where they're traveling. local people do not want to go to the football game tonight because they're afraid of being in places with other large numbers of people. that is what it takes from the administration, that will happen. what his reaction will be, we still don't know. it is thursday. we have another couple of days. this is building momentum. >> thank you very much. you want to the philippines. some of the bullets that killed hostages during last month's hijacking might have come by mistake from police. eight tourists from hong kong died in a case yet -- in a chaotic rescue. investigators say there is a strong possibility some were killed by friendly fire. our correspondent reports. >> this was when it all began to go wrong. police commandos moved in to try to rescue tourists from hong kong

it might behoove us to allow a bid to either go for task 1 or tasked to. -- task two. i think they can understand that it is not this body saying that you have to keep it one. commissioner avalos: just a clarifying question, we are not constrained by the ordinance to have a single supplier that didn't offer any constraint? >> it did not constrain us to a single supplier. we went back in the amended ordinance to have more flexibility. it is certainly our preference, no question about it. that is how we structured the first rfp. if you can supply everything in the have a credit rating, that is what we prefer. >> there was an ordinance associated with the last rfp, but i'm not an attorney. after the meeting and will make sure i get in tough -- in touch with the relevant legal folks. one other thing related to -- i am sitting here actually think about in terms of how to actually make the nets and bolts offer different pieces, that was a bit of a challenge. we had to figure out how to get the scoring, in getting extra points for doing everything. it could reflect a benefit

the economy. >>> sthars speculation about what products apple might unveil at their technology event tomorrow. they expect them to show updates at their ipods. the event is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. at the center for the arts. >>> coming up on bay area news at 7:00. >> operation iraqi freedom is over. >> president barack obama declares the end to a difficult chapter in american history, but is it over? we'll have a live report from washington. >>> and at long last state lawmakers vote on two plans to end the budget dead lock. coming up, details on the outcome and the out loo california's plunge. >> and fog most of the day has been coming away from the coast. it is warming up and higher temperatures. >> authorities in the mexican resort of cancun says extorsion might have led to a fire bombing that killed eight people. they say gang members stormed a bar about 1:30 a.m. tormented them with high caliber weapons and tossed cocktails and killed six women and two men. local media reports that the attack might be linked to an extorsion attempt and the attackers hasn't been paid. >>> preside

i think had she gone she might have won that.in that segment whether he had the broad base to go all of the way i don't know i don't think he is well-known enough. i love sarah palin. i wouldn't read too much into that. she is electric she is solidifying our entire movement. >> let me ask you this before i run out of time in this abbreviated segment. dow to be anti-abortion or how do you square the pro-life movement with libertarians who say stay out of my life and they make up some substantial part of the tea party. >> the focal point of the tea party is on the issues there is a libertarian bend but if you look at the ranks of the tea party you will see a lot of social conservativism. when we reaing the issues the top two issues that came up in the polling at the value voters summit number one was the life issue followed by spending, federal government size of federal govment and spending. clearly that's on the mind of social conservatives. there is as i said earlier a natural alliance not a partnership but an alliance where the

this might be easier to manage in that location which is fifth and mission. the areas that have one level of parking is somewhere in between. >> i in your example, i think that this is intuitive and not based on data collection. if he would like to talk about the impact adjacent to this project. if you want to talk about where the impact is, clearly if there is parking on the site, they will drive there. these are for the conclusion of the parking spaces in the project. they're likely to drive the park. more probable -- more people would probably be in the garage. we come up with the limitation of the current methodology that we used. there seems to be a convenient factor that would mean more trips on site rather than less convenient parking a block away. it would be great if the modeling can get you to the point where it that is factored in. it is more likely that that would drive to or the parking is convenient as opposed to what you have. i don't think it always works like that. >> i guess we are not saying that it would always work like that but in this a

say from the pulpit or might teach in an adult education course or might decide how the religious school curriculum gets formulated and taught? >> we do. we see rabbis are less fearful once they have gone through a process. they are much more willing to stand up and talk about their values, and also makes space in the room for the congregation to talk about differing ways of viewing the situation. >> lay leadership? >> it has very much been impacted by this as well. the words are really coming to have to wrestle with these issues once they do people are changed this is a tons formative process i would say and people are not necessarily again, their minds don't necessarily change but their capacity to hold the whole spectrum is what changes. >> i think what is also important to say is that we live in a community where i think conservatively 25% of the jewish community actually is associated by member ship to a synagogue. i think it is also very important to say that for those who aren't attached to a synagogue, that disagreement around the stand on israel, we hope is not a barrier to look

so you might direct me as to what you might want to know about. as we are taping this with sfgov tv i will ask you to ask your question into the microphone so they can pick it up. and you, too will be on tv. now nobody wants to. i will ask a requequestion, wha you working on now? >> does that sound planted? it wasn't. i just finished a monster of a book it's a huge book, set in japan and covers the earth from 1939 and 1966 about 2 brothers and the title is a street of a thousand blossoms. if you haven't noticed we are talking about themes that run through my book. one of the things i like a lot is exploring subcultures. the lepercy. the silk working women. i like to write about groups of people who persevere and make a life on their own aside from what the general culture is doing. i find that i don't consciously sit down and do that but it happens. in this particular book something that has fascinated me is sumo and sumo wrestlers and how they get so big and what it's like in their culture. one of the brothers becomes an sumo and that's why it's

you might think that that helps to yield fiscal accountability in the county's, but it might also severely hamstring local governments from making decisions about their finances. today, primarily we have it open for public comments. everyone that wishes to speak will be allowed to speak on the measure. i will be asking my colleagues to move this item forward to the september 7 board meeting. it will be the first one after our recess. i will be around after this week for the month of august to take in concerns. there has been a discussion about possible amendments that i will consider in the process. we will have those available for introduction on september 7. following are timeline, because of prop. 26, we would like to be able to get this to the full board and make an amendment to have that some members seventh as the first reading. the 14th would be the day for the second reading, moving along our time line to make sure that we can improve this before the prop 26 november election date. we wanted to make sure that these folks have already considered the timeline and potential amendments
