[applause] >> thank you, mr. kelly. it is amazing what an lined leadership can do, so we appreciate that. aside from the mayor who is here, there is our supervisor in this area, supervisor campos. [applause] >> thank you, everyone. my name is david campos, from district 9, and i think i represent the best in san francisco, not to take anything awayhe mayor will not be able to confirm that. i want to recognize jenny and her staff and the board members who are here for the tremendous work they do with the center. the center is a very special institution. it really is an integral part of the life of this neighborhood, and i think it makes sense as we are making these kinds of investments and retrofitting these kinds of buildings that we focus on these kinds of cultural centers, and i want to thank the general manager and his staff for the tremendous work they have done to make that happen. it makes a lot of sense. not only is it the impact of the actual retrofitting of the building, but because the centers are a gathering

president mendoza: thank you, mr. kelly. so, i have -- i've been asked to continue to make this announcement to everyone so that they're really clear that as a reminder to the public, in accordance with 211.2 the board policy p120, an individual wishing to address the board on agenda items on matters other than those calendared for board action can tell the board office by 4:30 on the day of the meeting or completing a speaker card on the evening of the meeting prior to the item is being called so any cards turned in at the same time the item is being discussed will not be accepted. i need a motion and second on the consent calendar? >> motion. >> second. >> there are a number of items. in terms of corrections, to item 119-27k13, we have to correct the program title and sac code. it should be eia/limited proficiency fund at sac code should read --. >> what was that third number again? >> so i went through this quickly because i believe that you have it in writing. and then the second one, the second item that these to be cor

on our speaker cards, we have one speaker on this, mr. kellycome on down. >> i'm from the united educators of san francisco. i'd like you to look for a moment at a couple of pages specifically and these are page 7, where you have the authorization to accept funds, and if you look there on 7 and at the top of page 8, you'll see you're taking in $27 million for early childhood education. if you look at page 100, you'll see that you're spending half a million dollars for arts and other related activities for the artists who serve in the schools. but if you look over on page 66 and following, you'll see there are still a number of childhood development personnel listed as being separated and so the question we have before you is, taking in $27 million, discretionary spending of -- not exactly discretionary but spending of half a million on arts, what's happening with the childhood development program? why do we still have the confusion that we have here? if you look here, you'll see that people who were originally separated as of the first of july

mr. nick kelly on the weather. what a beautiful day. like the warm weather so i thought it was lovely. >> four stars. just gorgeous. especially after the summer that seemed like it almost wasn't, right? it's payback time as we hit the final stretch. fall begins on friday. today's highs look like this. 88 in san jose. we got to 90 in napa. 89 conquered. san francisco, 79 degrees. a record was set previously back in 2003. even now, very mild conditions across the area with completely clear skies. it's 72 in san jose, cooling down slowly in hayward. 66 in oakland and currently 65 degrees in san francisco at 11:00 p.m. we've seen a lot of high temperatures that haven't reached that high in san francisco this summer. clear skies all up and down the coastline. that's high pressure building in. it's going to stick around for quite some time. clear and mild overnight tonight. warmer yet by a few degrees into tomorrow, and with light winds, spare the air. especially the east and south bay. cool cool air going down a bit. looking into the extende

[cheering] >> leadership, deficiency. but the good news is we can solve these crises. they are not impossible to solve, it's just going to take the right

mr. falcone who appeared yesterday with >> megyn: kelly. >> people think we've made contributions to greasewheels that is so wrong. i find it hard to believe they pressured any testimony, especially on this topic. the facts are the facts. either we interfere or we don't if we interfere let's fix the issue. if we interfere with national security, then it should be fixed anyhow. frankly, we don't. >> sean: here with reaction, talk show host out of cincinnati, bill cunningham, the great american. from the new york civil rights coalition mike meyers also a great american. we have a pattern emerging. big donors. go to the white house. they have access most americans won't. they get into the white house. they get these huge guarantees, 535 billion in the case of solyndra. couple hundred million in the case of lightsquared. they go belly-up. they are trying to say no the donations had nothing to do with it. you bill cunningham? >> no. this is the silence of the democratic lambs. can you imagine this happening with ronald reagan or george bush, 41 or 43? could you imagine the outrage at the atf sca

mrs. mcpeek derided the fact that they were making fun of the irish in the united states, you know, things like i survived the kelly murphy family gathering, things like that. and they wrote letters poking fun at what i thought was a couragous op ed piece. so this is in response to the irish americans who don't feel the pride that they should. and please excuse if i manhandle the irish manner of speaking. this is a joke told to me by one of my friends. he said that an american, an irish american, was golfing with his wife on a weekend. and he hit the ball into the rough. went looking for it. all of a sudden, a leprechaun jumped up. we're back to the leprechaun theme. he said, top of the morning to you, lad. he says, you're a leprechaun. he says, yes, i am, and you have 3 wishes. three wishes? he says, yes. you have 3 wishes. i want to be a par golfer.. he says, no problem. from now on, par and under. he says, i want a porsche. he says, when you go home tonight, there will be a porsche in your garage. and he says, i want a million dollars. he says, done. when you go to the bank on monday, there will be a million dol

top news stories before we catch up with mr though in the british government faces court action from a group of doctors over the death of weapons expert david kelly back in two thousand and three they're pushing for a new inquiry after the first reached a verdict of suicide kelli was behind a report showing that britain knew there were no weapons of mass destruction in iraq before joining the invasion i was artie's lauren but found out the evidence in the case isn't as clear as previously thought. more than eight years since the death of u.n. weapons inspector david kelly and still no inquest following his own mosque as the source of a report saying tony blair's government knew iraq had no weapons of mass destruction be full person invaded the country kelly was found dead in woods near his home a verdict of suicide was recorded despite what many see as conflicting evidence no one's ever said questions under oath about kelly's death and all medical and scientific reports relating to it were secretly classified something which has never been legally explained but it hasn't gone away this week talked to david how pain is demanding that the question

now i would like to ask the police commissioner ray kelly to talk more about what we are doing in response to this threat. >> thank you mrpartment had already taken a number of measures to protect the city in advance of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. however, in light of this new information, we are taking addition al precautions. we will be holding personnel, holding our tours for an additional four hours tomorrow and continuing at least through monday. effectively increasing by a third the size of our patrol transit and counter terrorism highway and traffic bureaus. we are also increasing the number of critical response vehicle surges. that's where dozens of police cars respond to predetermined locations for counterterrorism coverage. the public is likely to see and maybe somewhat it could be inch spired by vehicle check points at locations throughout the city. we are increasing the number of bag inspections on the subway system and number of police vehicles on roll equipped with license plate readers. there will be more bomb dogs on patrol and increased deployment of radiation monitoring equipment at vehicle check poin

kelly. dr. ablow joins us from boston. what is the objection? you don't want the parents to let their kids watch mr. owe bono, why? >> well, mr. bono is doing more than dancing. is he on a campaign to mainstream transagain derism. i have to care more about america's kids as much as i do about my own kids. here is the thing. we know, bill, people model their behavior after one another. we wouldn't invite people with anorexia to go on fashion shows and talk about how wonderful they feel now that they are thinner and how they want more liposuction. this is an exact parallel. we have somebody who is not a man asserting that he is a man. and the bottom line is, that this can kindle. people who are having trouble with their identities, adolescents, tom boys. boys who are afilm incident in into thinking maybe i'm not just those things, maybe i should go the whole way. after all, look at chaz getting a standing ovation after standing ovation. >> bill: if chaz bono is happy with what he has done, if he is a happier guy, i don't know him at all so i don't know whether he is or isn't. i'm sure he would say he is what's wrong

now i'd like to ask the police commissioner, ray kelly, to talk a little bit more about what they're doing in response to this threat. ray. >> thank you, mr. mayor. the police department had already taken a number of measures to protect the city in advance of the tenth anniversary of 9/11. however, in light of this new threat information, we are taking additional precautions. we will be holding personnel, holding our tours for an additional four hours tomorrow and continuing at least through monday. effectively increasing by a third the size of our patrol, transit and counterterrorism highway and traffic bureaus. we're also increasing the number of response surges, where dozens of police cars respond to predetermined locations for counterterrorism coverage. the public is likely to see and may be somewhat inconvenienced by vehicle checkpoints at various locations throughout the city. we are also increasing the number of bag inspections on the subway system and the number of police vehicles on patrol equipped with license plate readers. there will be more bomb dogs on patrol and increased deployment of radiation monitoring equipment at vehi

kelly: that's true. >> you know, you point out something interesting. this column appeared in the new york times, written by david brooks. mrbrooks often comments on politics, so, very interesting he's also very much a social cementtator. and the fact that it appears in the new york times, which is the bed rock of moral relativism is quite interesting. here is what he's wring about. writing about a study that was done by christian smith, of notre dame and several of his colleagues, and they did the study about the moral life of young adults. and that would be from 18 to 23. and the results are really quite shocking. it real is a comment in a way, although brooks doesn't say so, on the children and grandchildren of people in the 1960's. and which is what all the moral barriers seem to draw. in fact, did drop. well, this is kind of the result of that. so, let me give awe example from brooks' column. he he writes, when asked about wrong or evil, they could generally agree that rape and murder are wrong, but aside from the extreme cases, moral thinking, didn't enter the picture. even when considering things like drunken driving

kelly thomas. the thomas family. the community. the police department and for all those involved. >> so mr.those words from the police department? >> no, not at all. i talk with captain hamilton many, many, many times. to keep them on paid administrative leave is ludicrous. does that mean the other four? does that mean all six? it is kind of unclear at this point. so that's why i'm driving it forward to make sure something happens to these other four administratively, at least. i'm not settling for anything here except complete justice for my son. >> and it would be ludicrous to have these officer that are charged with murder and involuntary manslaughter to be on paid leave. they shouldn't be paid at all. >> do you trust that the district attorney's office will thoroughly be able to investigate what indeed happened that night? >> well, i feel very comfortable with it. i've worked with the d.a.'s lead investigator from day one. i think he has done a fantastic job. speaking with him and his staff, i have a lot of confidence in them right now. >> this will be a long ordeal. this trial won't ju

kelly. >> david, fullerton police released a statement to us about this today. the issue they say the issue is really between mrs to comment. we're awaiting the results from the coroner and the d.a.'s investigation. just quickly, david, what is the mood there in fullerton? >> reporter: anger. per sis at the present time anger that has not subsided. this happened on july 5th to thomas. he was rushed to the hospital. he was pronounced brain-dead on july 10th. ever since then, every saturday there is a protest at the fullerton police department. again, those six officers, they're not on the job, but they are being paid and collecting benefits and the people of fullerton are angry. but this story has gone well beyond fullerton. it's national thanks to cnn and international as you hear the taser behind me. the attorney using that to illustrate exactly how he believes these officers tased kelly twice in the chest and ties in the flank. to use it to bring him down. >> david begnow from ktla. thank you very much. >>> now i want to bring in ron thomas, kelly's father. tell us what you think of the details revealed today
