calling to the podium and mr. mark espinoza. >> the evening, everyone. thank you for coming. i want to get this out. congratulations to the sentences the giants. -- to the san francisco giants. i am the executive director of the native american house center. we provide medical care, dental care, family child guidance, and we also have hiv testing and a medical department. one thing about our organization, we have promoted healthy living among the native population here in the bay area. we also have the community center in richmond. a large population of native americans has allowed us to extend our services. we will be building a brand new clinic in san francisco. the clinic will be located near the friendship house association of american indians. it will be one-stop shopping for the clinic. one of the things i would like to talk about, we talk about the clinic and the services they provide. we have been reforming health care to native americans. we will continue to do that and we appreciate your support as we build our new clinic for the native american population. it is my

the san francisco port authority, oewd, the mayor's office, members of the board of supervisors, mr. mark buell, and others who really have been demonstrating significant due diligence, which for holiday spirit reasons alone should earn us the right to secure the cup, but i think by us being able to illustrate very concretely why san francisco is the best place in this nation and abroad to host the cup, that is the deal before us. it is a great deal for san francisco as long as we are not shouldering the kind of excess of responsibility that we were quite concerned about before. great questions were being asked by a number of our colleagues here to keep the negotiations on track, and they really helped contribute, i think, to the intellectual arsenal for us to make sure -- this is really unprecedented for something of this nature and size to come before san francisco. the city attorney's office has also been working around the clock in order to really be as agile as possible to doing something that no other city in the country or abroad has had to do, and that is negotiate in a transparen

in the united states have to sit down together and talk about such issues both mr mark for it to all that replied that many of the issues that the opposition members addressed are domestic issues that the united states is not going to be involved in and regarding the human rights issues he has said that the united states is not turning a blind eye or being indifferent to the human rights violations in washington and shows its criticism one thinks it's necessary. or tell you what more did u.s. officials say about the russian opposition and indeed its effectiveness. to sum up the report by the u.s. ambassador to russia their position in the country is rather immature and un sustained some of the members came to the meeting asked for the u.s. to help them register political parties may have been saying that they see the biggest threats the potential threat in the future is that prime minister putin is going to run for president once again and that will see verily worsen relations between russia in the united states and that they believe that the u.s. should be involved in preventing tha

secretary boomer: mark. and, mr. speaker, he is the last person to turn in a speaker card on this item. chair nolan: sir? >> i have a couple of comments to make. on the legal residency requirement, i am wondering if there will be an investigation in questioning into people's residency. there is tremendous concern of their among the drivers about the electronic waybill. believe me, it is out there. i would really like to see some very, very stringent policies in place about access to the information. otherwise, it may well be up for grabs, and i am not confident from what we have here that there is going to be limited access. vehicles, easing the vehicle age requirements, it is really something that is going to benefit the low and companies and hurt the companies that try to provide better quality vehicles -- it is going to benefit the low-end companies. the two items that need to be manually entered on the electronic waybills are things that are equipment and to electronically in automatically, so i am wondering what

[laughter] commissioner benetti: -- >> my name is mark renney. mr. blyman and mr. ley own successful restaurants and bars and after polk street -- in the outer polk street. mr. miller owns a successful gay bar called truck. i previously passed out to use some letters of support from people like the mission creek neighborhood association, aids emergency fund, the mission merchants association, etc. i will get right to the point -- neighborhood outrage. i have institutional memory. i remember there was hostility about the after hours permit that was granted to the triple crown a year and a half ago. i asked ms. kane if i could have copies of all the letters and correspondence in the file. it pretty much was about two- thirds positive and one third-. but there was quite a bunch of stuff. -- and one-third negative. i went and called everybody on the anti list to enlist their support, meeting with us and coming up with good neighbor policies so we could eliminate any problems that might have arisen. specifically, i spoke to the brady neighborhood groups, which is braun

mr. obama received especially high marks last night. a cbs news online poll taken right after the speech found that 91% of those who saw it approved of mr. obama's proposals. and 82% approved of his specific plans for the economy. earlier i discussed the speech and the republican's response with cbs news chief washington correspondent bob schieffer. >> the mainstream republican establishment, the republican leadership, is really not sure what to do with these new firebrands that make up the tea party, who got elected in this last election. i mean, this is almost unheard of for some, basically, what was a back bencher in the congress, to announce that she was also going to give a -- a response. and nobody had the nerve to say, no, you can't do that. you know, they just sort of let it go. and i mean, i've been around here a long time, and i think back to, you know, when you had some very powerful speakers, and people like senate leader lyndon johnson, say speaker sam rayburn when he was in the house, from texas, i mean one can imagine what

. >> next speaker, mark grueber. >> on mr. rathbone's point, i want to say the resolution applies to the application, and the application says yellow cab, and yellow cab alone is a company designated to participate. you will have to do some fancy dancing around that if you want to change it. i do not know why this is on the consent calendar. i am a supporter of innovation and experimentation for environmental purposes, but i do not feel this is terribly well conceived. it puts one untested idea on top of another. electrical vehicles may not be practical as taxes, but give it a shot. neighborhood cabs -- we do not know about the economic viability. by putting these things together, you are multiplying the uncertainties and making it very difficult to get an evaluation of either idea. so i do not think these should be conjoined. i am also concerned that this went to the mtc before it ever came to the attention of most of us in the industry, or to this board, and that only one cab company was invited to participate i noticed ther

unfortunately he is not with us today but we definitely wanted to marked his transition into retirement. mr. chairman, that concludes my report. >> thank you. -- supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. supervisor daly: what we did not have time to make an agenda are around the item that the last meeting, in a cursory way we did discuss it. by think i empowered to speak when i say that we agree with the goals that agree with the development of the new neighborhoods. tgpsa seems willing to participate in delivering adequate child care facilities. thinking that the burden should be fit -- shared fairly. of course, the city's child care apparatus and the mayor's office, as well as the department of human services, a potentially being in a position to talk about details in terms of parcels and delivering space if there are resources there. the conundrum over delivering requires significant subsidy, of course, mandating that we have programs before the delivery of transportation projects. i think that there is a creative solution in which burdens are shared fairly to make sure the child care is included

mr. wahlberg helped you with that? >> mark's not going to be the person who turns around and say, what are you doing? but i knew he wasn't going to let it get out of hands. so i felt very safe. tavis: are you making decisions and choices? the things you want to do, something you might want to reprieve, how are you hole listicically looking that -- whole listicically looking at this? >> i just had a baby -- tavis: seven months ago? >> yeah. i'm on the second film now after having my daughter. so i think it's going to be a day-to-day process. and i'm lucky enough to get really interesting and diverse roles offered to me and i just hope that that continues and i -- i mean, i just want to keep expanding as an artist and really try new things but at the same time i absolutely love the work that i've done. i've just been really lucky. that's how i feel. i think it's a day-to-day process. tavis: is it working at all like you planned it or disagreement it would work or dramatically different? >> so dramatically different. i thought -- i

mrs. obama will be marking the king junior holiday by taking part in the community service project in washington, d.c.. now last year the obamas dropped by a d.c. food bank and helped to serve hot meals. this year the president said by dedicating this day to service we move our nation closer to dr. king's vision of all americans living and working together. to find out more about the martin luther king day celebrations including listening to some of his and seeing some of his famous quotes go to our channel 2 website ktvu.com click on the mlk day tab. it's near the top of the page. >>> time now 6:08. you may think twice about burning the fire logs today. a winter spare the air alert has been issued in the bay area. that means using a fireplace is illegal until that alert is lifted. violators face fines up to $400. this is the fourth winter spare the air alert. >>> time now 6:08. the fog is making it's scary at some points it's so thick. you cannot see in front of your hands. >> it's pretty thick out there the fog. as a matter of fact, we've had very thick fog all over the place and the fog advis

, i will conclude by asking president obama, who is trying to impose his mark of cain, the first killer, on our whole country. mr. president, what do you call the elimination of 50 million people and babies? do you call it mass murder? you call it genocide? what should we call someone who votes to withhold medical care from a baby who survived a botched abortion? there is something wrong, my dear friends. do you want to know why the pro- life moment is somewhat static rather than more dynamic? could it be because yesterday as did it for life had no room at the end for myself and other rabbis representing 850 rabbis? i was forced out by to hotel security people. we are owed an apology. we have been fighting for life for 32 years. as nellie gray said, we have to get together and unified. we have to have unity and maturity. i want to come speak to your communities. i want to get out your colleges, your christian schools. contact me by the thousands. it is late in the game. i played with you, the pledge -- sign the pledge that weeks where we will not vote for pro- abortion officeholders. if we did this, and the next

let mark go ahead. >> mr. foxman, my question basically is my perception over most of my life, certainly the last 25 years of my life is that most groups that have suffered some form of oppression seems to, and you used the term several times in your remarks, you use the term good people. you use the term good people over and over again. and it seems that in our response to these afflictions, we tend to forget about the good people. we only tend to focus in on that small group of people who know doubt inflicted an enormous amount of pain. but it seems to me that healing, moving forward, and getting beyond this is pretty much to focus on the larger group, which are the good people. that's where the solution is. but i say this as a black man, it appears to me that we don't do that. i mean when are we going to start focusing on the good people? >> okay. well, thank you. i would say i think that's what we tried to do. if i did not believe that we could change peoples minds and heart, i wouldn't go to work in the m

mrs. obama's dress a homoagage to the chinese flag? >> i propose a toast. to our people, the citizens of the people's republic of china and the united states of america. >> the white house is getting good marksn washington for the way it handled this trip. mr. hu's statement that china has much to do as -- on human rights is being seen as an encouraging sign. >> while we appreciate those words, the united states will watch the actions. we will watch the actions of the chinese government. >> this visit by hu jintao seems to have brought home to americans the knowledge that it is the u.s.-to -- as the u.s.- china relationship unravels, then the global economy on rebels with it. their own future is intertwined with that of china. >> it's been reporter that haiti's former dictator jean- claude duvalier has been barred from leaving the country. a flight ban has been issued against him. jean-claude duvalier who was ousted 25 years ago was charged with corruption he made a surprise return to the country last sunday, hoping he might become a candidate in the new presidential election. the fourth quarter profits have been overshadowed by a takeover in the board room. larry page will take over as ceo.

mr. president, this week marks the actually second week of the 112th congress, and i'd like to welcome back the presiding officer. i've spent many a monday afternoon presiding over this chamber, as a new member in my first two years. while i'm here, i want to welcome my new colleagues in the senate and of course our new colleagues on the house. we still have have a n enormous number of challenges case facing us. i look forward to working with members on both side of the aisle and in both bodies to make sure we meet these challenges in a bipartisan way. mr. president, last year i took up the banner actually that had been started by the presiding officers -- a colleague who presided him in this chamber, and that was the effort of honoring on a regular basis exemplary federal employees right here on the senate floor, a tradition, as the presiding officer knows, was begun by senator ted kaufman. so i want to start this new 112th congress with what will be a weekly occurrence where i will come forward and recognize a federal employee -- federal employees who play an extraordinarily important rol
