all three parts of my mind are realed -- in my mind are related. fers the c.i.t., we have a lot of work done to inch. that. about deploying officers. the second is, i think we need to take a serious look, i think you agree but i don't want to put words in your mouth about how we use tactics in san francisco and have a fresh look at our use of force, training and tactics to make sure we're doing the best in the country. >> i would look at the way that use of force is applied and the tactics on this department and whether we was discussing c.e.d.'s or the memphis model. one other thing i want to say in closing, and i know it's getting late, is the fact that, when i agreed to the c.i.t. model, we worked to put that plan together and the brdvowed on that, i was comfortable in knowing that i would be tasked with putting that model together plus pg able to look at less lethal options at the same time. we can balance more than one plate. so i had no issues when i went into this with you saying let's put together a group, let's start to have meetings, let'

in your minds were already made up. -- and your minds were already made up. i am the mother of james lewis, ok? he is coming up next, so i am more than sure you're going to have something really interesting in store for him. i know your minds are already made up. such a waste of taxpayer money, ok? for you people to sit up here. officers, you know, that puts their lives on the line, protecting san francisco, because you have the power to do it, but shame on you, every last one of you. commissioner: any further comment? hearing none, we will proceed on with item 11. we have a motion to dismiss, and we will hear arguments. you will have five minutes to argue on the motion to dismiss. >> well, officer louis filed -- lewis final the motion to dismiss. the record is clear that we want to bring witnesses if it is agreed not to your motion. we want to bring witnesses if you decide that the prosecution brought enough evidence in this case. now, again, the prosecution has the burden. officer lewis does not have the burden. he does not have to say a word they have to p

>> reporter: allen, the idea is to fight obesity by using only your mind. patients first figure out why they overeat in the first place and then they are prepared for what's essentially virtual surgery. allison harden is being wheeled into the operating room about to have gastric band surgery. she can hear the operating room staff, monitors, feel the doctors put a band around her stomach. it seems so real. >> you will not feel any pain at all. >> reporter: but it's not. it's all in her mind. >> just then, the surgeon enters the room. >> reporter: it's called the hip no band. it convinces people that they had surgery without undergoing the knife. >> in the client's mind they had a lap band fitted to their stomach. >> reporter: it only works if the person is open to suggestion and willing to change. >> i have done everything, jenny craig, the no carb thing. >> reporter: she even considered gastric bypass. >> surgery isn't for me. >> reporter: after her virtual surgery allison said her stomach felt different. >> like you did too many crunches or that kind of f

all of that was going on in my mind at a very young age. what really set it off -- i had two teachers -- during february, we did it for the whole month because we figured we had been cheated out of our history of america. only two names were in the encyclopedia, and that was booker t. washington and george washington carver, but she lectured about the contribution of frederick douglass, w.e.b. dubois, and how jackie robinson had broken the baseball barrier. and we remembered the opera singer who was not allowed to sing in the hall and had to sing in lincoln center. all the discrimination and the local in justices. like, everything was separate and unequal. the school was inadequate. we could not go to the hospitals. they built a house adjacent to the main hospital. the white people were not supposed to be in the same room with an n-person. you know the n-word? i said to myself at the end of the day that i love my country and i'm glad that that day, i took a stand. i saw through the supreme court that the flaws that america had tried to corr

israel has a lot of fears on its mind it's not just a general fear it's a very particular things you know israel's afraid of an islamist takeover of egypt israel's afraid of destabilization spreading to the palestinian areas israel's afraid of the leader who might not be a full partner in dealing with iran and that's something you have to keep in mind these are obviously the biggest things on israel's mind that's always going to come first there's been a sense for a long time that mubarak is pretty much the only thing holding egypt in place as a peace partner so israelis are clearly very nervous they kept pretty quiet in the beginning but you saw early on that there is not a great deal of trust that a change in government in egypt will be good for israel and there was already you know a politician who is saying that it is not ready for democracy necessarily it took our prime minister a long time to make any statement in support of democratic change in egypt and that's really that really comes from a place of fear. as the u.s. government struggles to decide on who to support in egypt

what come to mind is a project i worked on at caesar chavez and gererroro. this house was delomolished. it was concrete and now it's a dumping ground. because in the absence of any plantings it as a freeway connecter came tire land and encampment and the cattate a rat and -- it built. so we pulled it down and planted it. getting resources in the neighborhood. there was a little old lady across the street that lived there forever. when she sees anybody out there doing something she yells at them. we passed the plate around and got a hose and sprayer. she waters and when she's on vacation she talks to her neighbors on either side. it's not rocket science. i encourage to you walk around your neighborhood and look at where there is too much concrete. there are a lot of ridiculous concrete things that are crying out for something. you know planters or garden spaces. those are the things that make neighborhoods liveable and the process of doing something with them also what makes neighborhoods liveable. go ahead. >> well, i would, the question is, where do you sta

to have that go out, to my mind, is an unfortunate mistake. i don't know if you talked about that at all, but because of his right, this body's decision to do this -- or not, and -- i think jump the gun on that at the very least. >> right. our original schedule was much sooner in the year then it got moved to february 1st. we continued it once again. it was clearly a situation where our managers who are -- are 1307bsible for those area -- responsible for those areas in parking, they understood we were moving forward february 1st based on the original board decision with the approval of the budget. i guess it did not filter down that we were debating and discussing this issue. >> i wouldn't have a problem with it a week after or something. the whole point of the thing was to be respectful of our employees. to my mind that's not. i don't think there's malice behind it. it 150e78s that way. >> okay. >> -- nothing to say about that. >> [inaudible] >> great. >> chairman is lipping here this afternoon. >> okay director beach's motion. for the to sta

i would like to keep that in mind. we really need to uphold the policies and project review in dealing with these issues on van ness, because we have conflicts in the proposals right now. what is the van ness potential? it does not show their what was achieved, what is remaining, so forth. we need to update that planned to them eliminate the parking requirement that has been talked about. flexibility and the number of units, 1.6 policy is excellent for densely built neighborhoods. if you were to look at the rm-3 it is possible in some cases if you replace a building within the height limit you would have fewer units that are larger based on our past experience. that may still be the case even with the 65 foot height limit. is also cite efficient and cost- effective not to have the 1-for- 1 parking requirement. it keeps the densely built. liveable not to have that parking. discouraging demolition it is really important. we have had a huge progress on this back in the day, when we had no demolition controls and everythin

commissioner fung, if you don't mind? thank you. the total proposed budget with these numbers is $952,067. that is about a 2.19% increase over the current year. we still have a couple of line items pending. the retiree health subsidy and long-term disability insurance -- we have been told those will increase. i do not know that there will dramatically change the projected increased i am looking at. none of these are increases that have come out of our pollution. the have all been imposed upon the board. unlike the bulk of other city employees and labor groups, siu employees did not do a swap some years back or they got additional pay and agreed to contribute more to their retirement funds. during the last round of negotiations, they agreed to that. that will be going into effect. you're looking at an increase in salaries for siu employees, and there is a decrease in the retirement contribution on our end. there are some fringe benefit increases. and the employer contribution has gone up. we do see in little bit of increase in some o

but they will not mind losing voters. my friends and the businessmen and area, they don't mind. for the around children, -- for their own children, but is it faster, more convenient, and cheaper? those are the reasons why you will choose an alternative way. for instance, with the road blocks because of the working, they choose the alternative way. why? because it is cheap and because we have an arrangement for a cheaper ticket, and it was faster. and in the end, they stayed with public transport because they realize that and they saw that it was faster and the cost was not higher. that was the reason, because we had an affiliation with that, and those were the reasons they stayed with public transport. >> thank you, peter. sarah? [inaudible] >> i just wanted to ask you to share some of your challenges with having so many cyclists and public transit. i[inaudible] >> we have a system in copenhagen which could be an example. 30 years ago, those running the system, the trains and suburban trains, they said we do not have room for bicycles on the trains. the passengers, they are more

there was nothing wrong with his mind. two weeks before he committed suicide, he had given a long from memory speech at his synagogue about his life, about what a great life he had. he out lived two wives and some of his children, has grandchildren. what he did one morning -- and he hated living with a companion. well, i sure there are a lot of people who commit suicide are all crazy, thank god the health professions didn't get their hands on him. he, one morning sold the keys to his companion's car. he had been a champion swimmer in high school and college. he drove it from his lifelong home and he had all the money in the world, he would have died at home, but he didn't want to have his every move monitored by another person, obviously. he drove his car to the missouri river, got up on the bridge and drove off and committed suicide. now i am not advocating that people do this. i am saying i don't think this man was crazy. in the letters he left for his grandchildren said please don't grieve for me or think i was out of m

what comes to mind immediately is 9/11. >> absolutely.the use of these medications went up across the nation after september 11 and in the months odirectly after september 11, they went up way more in new york city, double the rest of the country in terms of benzodiazepines and sleeping pills an 6 times as much as antidepressants. >> what do you think the role of external circumstances in inducing needs that are visible because of increasing anxiety?

there was nothing wrong with his mind. two weeks before he committed suicide he had given a from memory speech at a synagogue about what a great life he had. he outlived to wives and lift some of his children, has grandchildren. well, what he did one morning, and he took living with a companion, well i'm sure that there are a lot of the people, people who commit suicide are all crazy, thank god the helping professions didn't get their hands on him. he, one morning, stole the keys to his companion's car. he had been a champion swimmer in high school and college. he drove it from his lifelong -- he had all the money in the world. he would have died at home, but he didn't want his every move monitored by another person obviously. he drove his car to the missouri river, got up on the bridge and drove off of and committed suicide. now i am not advocating people do this. i'm saying i don't think this man was crazy in the letters that he left for his grandchildren said please don't grieve for me or think i was out of my mind. he

the biggest ideas with the can be shot down by the smallest of minds. what you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. let's keep building anyway because people need help but they attack you when you help them but let's keep helping them anyway and give the world the best you got and you'll get kicked in the teeth, but guess what, give the world the best you got anyway. thank you very much. ♪ girl: when i became, like, 16 years old, i realized, you know, there was something different about me. my friends were going out at night, and i didn't like going out at night at all. there was just something that was holding me back. second girl: when i'm walking down the hallway at school here, i'm always running into people by accident. i bump right into them. woman: i tri t to find out as much as i could about what it is and what it could possibly mean. man: when it's dark at night, my parents wouldn't permit me to go out. second man: i don't feel i have problem being deaf because i have an established communication system using sign language. third gi

plus it's a race for the hearts and minds of all olympics fans as russians are set to choose the mascot for the twenty fourteen winter games in sochi. i'll be back with another update in fifteen minutes from now in the meantime not in andrew's goes to whip out his chopsticks right here in the russian capital that's moscow out on r.t. . yes course i'm struggling i personally think that sushi is now one of the most popular dishes in the us and cups all the might sound weird but apart from say my dog's another fostered al that's the same there isn't a restaurant in this city that doesn't. seem so to me on this week's moscow hours as we take a look at the sushi mania is taking over the russian capital. change of russia in the one nine hundred ninety s. a difficult word to pronounce the first most muscovites are fascinated by the small rows of rice and well fish today there are hundreds of sushi bars here and with russians becoming more knowledgeable about other cuisines that truly would lower prices it seems sushi is available to all southerners from using unicode totally uniquely japanese

we should keep that in mind, to an extent. although not totally undeveloped, like areas like hunter's point, we need to look at that. it is a good example of that. and an example the other way, of course, is the ridiculous section of san jose. i say that because i do not think anyone will disagree with me on that. it was a failed concept, as far as the mission freeway is concerned. it should have been corrected immediately. it has not been. to me, that is one of the major situations that you have there. if money is going to flow anywhere in to the general area, in my mind, that should be the first objective, to do that correctly and a lot of the rest will follow. i am totally disappointed with bart as far as their failure to come forward, other than inching, and they are still inching along. they have not come into my mind, done their job with land use as regards to that station, parking lot, and everything else. it should not serve the purpose it was originally intended to, never done correctly. i look forward to being at you

it was so interesting to me how they gelled in my mind. they stuck in my mind.ubsequently i was asked to read a book about an american inventor. i said, to the person who was talking to me, you know who invented a computer? there are a lot of reasons for that. books written before about the subjects, and they are all about my guy was first. no, my guy was first. my guy was a real guy. when i destroyed -- decided to do an organized chronologically and to see not just to invented a computer but how the invention of the computer can about. turned out to be a much more dramatic, almost breathless the dramatic story then i realized. the story of john atanasoff is very much an all-american, you know, poor boy makes his story. he was incredibly energetic. is childhood is extremely dramatic. his father's childhood was extern the dramatic. so that is a kind of american classic american story. at iowa state we were always proud of the fact that he clause a student and a teacher at land grant university. that meant that he had access to an engineering department been. peop

when i was growing up, my father did not mind people calling him by his first named. his first name was qp. in the court case, they ask, what does that stand for? it stood for quinnith paul. the white people use to just call him jordy and they would call his son, boy. even the teachers and the faculty members of my school said they never called him buy anything other than his first name. and he was a professor of alabama state. so i have seen all of that change. it is an attitude change. and as my sister called it, a cosmetic change. they say, dixie had a cosmetic change. they have the same mental attitude haas racists, but they cannot call you girl and gal anymore. to me, they are over-polite. in my experience in the hotel -- ms. colvin, how can i help you? it is a little over-polite, and i get tired of it sometimes. [laughter] now, you remember i live in new york, the big apple. help me to stay the word -- say the word -- i do not want to sound like sarah palin -- [laughter] what is the word for many races? multi-cultural, yes. they could not care one less if you we
