so mr. tom, i just also want to make it clear that at the last meeting you specifically asked the board so this is for the 7 trades; right? and we said, yes to you so i understand why this is written in here you asked specifically. today, we find ourselves with a different prospective. it's not you doing it on your own. so i think that because we heard from the labor council representing many of our labor partners and we also i would also like to see it by trades. some of our sanctions allow them to do jobs. so if you can't comply with the job an sf gov. job you can hire someone on to our bigger city jobs. so the off-ramp is something that's doable. the more we expand the trades for a local residencecy remit our young people may want to be a landscape motorbikes worker are repair are things of that nature or awe by itself abatement because it's danger. so i just feel like the more we open it because i think this spirit of this was to open up opportunities for our students. now i have a suggestio

but mr. tom said we - i don't see how we can pit sanctions on the jobs to keep employees on your jobs and that might include jobs. we want to find a difference. we expect contracts to hire apprenticess and keeping them beyond the time they need them >> i release appreciate the internship part especially for kids after graduation. i was wondering as part of those internships will they be paid are is it just for experience and a i'm not really the person you have to direct the question to i have no control over the apprenticeship program >> so commissioner i can address that. historically they pay the auto mechanics and the bio techs there's a rate it's fixed by our academic group and there's the ones who pit together the plan and administer it. we'll fold it into our construction effort but i think historically all interims receive payment. i wanted to know a speaker said that there were only 3 jobs on the 2011 bond on the revenue bond how many are under one million >> there are a variety of proje

so on page one mr. tom do you see it the requested action just read that short paragraph >> that the board of education adopt the attached local policy for 2013 proposition a facilitate bond that is executed project labor agreement. >> thank you. new what we will do is hear from our public speakers we have a number signed up to speak on this item. you will have 2 minutes each. as i read your names line up along the wall right there (calling names) >> well my name is willie ratting cliff if anybody don't know me. anyway we'll come down to the final local act of what we've been trying to do for over a year. i met with the previously superintendent along with the present superintendent for over a year ago about this problem. that we have. and anytime a discriminatory practice you're supposed to deal with it. i'm not satisfied with what i see. and we can always move forward after what you do tonight i'm hoping that someone o some of the things that others will bring up because i don't have the time. will bring

today and so it is my great pleasure to welcome to the podium the chairman of the board of directors, mr. tom noland. >> thank you, i could listen to him introduce me all day long. on behalf of the board i am delighted to be here this is a huge day for us and it has been a long, hard struggle. a number of people have been mentioned but there are some who are supportive who have not been mentioned one is former mayor and congressman, and of the dot, norman who was instrumental way back years ago. and our current dot director ray lahood and i want to call a special shout out to former member of our board who has been a supporter of this project for many years, will (inaudible), thank you. thank you, will. and steadfast support. and this is truly been a labor of love for the board and critics along the way and i am totally convinced, absolutely convinced that when this is opened, everybody will realize this was totally worth while and all of the struggles forward and a lng time coming and great leadership. and he and his team and we appreciate that and we are it marks the beginning and i am look

for all these incredible stories of relief with tommie copper, and that's tommie copper inventor, mr. tom kallish himself. and before he comes out, he told me that he had a very special message for all of us and i have no idea what it is so, let's take a look at it together. take a look at this. hi montel. it's 6:30 in the morning, it's been a year and a half since the accident. i'm pretty confident i can make this happen. with god's help, a little luck and tommie copper, i'm off to the races. go dan! i'm a little tired but, i couldn't be more grateful. the idea that you could come back from what i had gone through is nothing shy of a miracle. please welcome tom kallish to the show! talk to me for a second, let's talk about that accident you had skiing, correct? how many years ago? when was that? it was about a year and 3 ago and there was a buried tree trunk under the water. nobody saw it. and when i hit it i lost my knee, my hip and two vertebrae in my back. and you know, basically, we thought it was over. and i found myself wearing the products all through the 4 surgeries i had to have

tom? >> thank you, mr. president. you know, you mentioned the many hours that we worked together in the situation room, put together here by john kennedy without windows. >> no windows. >> no windows. i would like to thank you for this rare opportunity to be outside and experience the natural light. you also mentioned how i began my public service here under president carter in 1977 when i was 22 years old. and i still remember leaving at the end of the day, walking up west executive drive, past the office of then national security adviser and looking up at the windows of the white house, the lights always on in the office, no matter how late. i think to myself, don't those guys ever go home? and now these many years later, i finally have the answer, no, they don't go home very much, at least not as often or as early as their spouses and families would like. mr. president, to serve in this capacity where we had the opportunity to protect and defend the united states, to improve the position of the united states and th

mr. -- congratulations. >> thank you. tom. i wanted to share the story of how i became the manager of the soft story program. about two weeks ago tom asked me to go to lunch and he said, i want to you work on the soft story program. he said it's not a lot of work. it's not true. tom said you can do it part-time in addition to all the work you are doing and that's not true at all. what convinced me is he said you would never have to appear before the building commission. that's next week. >> every week. >> actually i paid for his lunch too. anyway, since that lunch date we've been working very hard on the program. within 90 days we have to send out notifications of the building owners of soft story buildings. which is over 6,000. you will get a letter from us if it's constructed -- along with the notification we'll be sending out a screening form. the screening form we want an engineer and architect to fill it out and returned within one year. depending on how you fill out the form we'll put you in a tier. we want to you submit

it's a food surveillance program from my good friend, mr. tom marino. what this will do, you tell me if it isn't, it will require retail food stores to monitor, to put in a surveillance system, to collect and report back to the secretary of agriculture detailed information that identifies what food items, what type, what size of purchase by those who are on snap. now, this isn't about snap. you've gone into the grocery stores. everybody goes into that grocery store as an american, to purchase, to buy the food, the basic things that he needs. to survive. you can't put a surveillance on the snap person without putting a surveillance on every american that goes into that store. asinine. e -- how such an amendment that is. and this eagerness of this declaring of war on snap recipients. we're declaring a war on the soul of america itself. and i don't care if you're liberal, i don't care if you're moderate or are you conservative -- or you are conservative. every american ought to be concerned about this. you're not going to be able to put a surveillance prog

mr. speaker tom a two ago during the prime minister's listening exercise during the health services. "i refused to go back to the day where people have to wait hours on end." let me be clear. we will not. what has gone wrong? >> enough about what he said two years ago. the very first time he stood there totally condemning and attacking in the strongest possible terms what now turns out to be labor policy. what complete confusion and weakness from the opposition. he asked about accident emergency and i will deal with this very directly. the fact is, we are meeting our targets for accident emergency. it was a problem in the first quarter of this year. that is why the medical director of the nhs will be holding an investigation. but over the last three years, there are now one million more people walking into our accident and emergency units every year. we must work hard to get those waiting times down and keep those waiting times down. the way we will not do it is by following labor policy and cutting the nhs. >> the independent king fund, a number of people waiting more than four hour

mrs. willis. >> is anyone gonna finish these sausages? >> this would be a good time to try that triple-lindy-double- axel boomerang. >> out! >> let's just go, tomve kicked him out for you for $20. >> i never did like him. >> i know, i know. >> george! >> what?! >> she can't hear you. >> i don't care. >> i don't believe you! you've done some crazy things over the years, but this takes the cake! >> why? because a bunch of snooty folk don't get me? >> hey, they didn't get me either. >> all i asked was for you to just be on your best behavior. i don't understand what got into you, george, but i know now that i have never been so disappointed. i must go now because i'm hoarse. [weezy/ella coughs] >> yeah, you're making me hoarse. >> you're in trouble now, pop. >> you...c.j.? >> "c.j."? i'm lionel, your son. >> don't freak out. they switched lionels on me, too. >> ok, so he's my son, only different? >> mm-hmm. >> you've been acting really weird all night. i don't know. what gives? how are you gonna make this up to mom? >> look, don't worry about your mother. ok. look, i'll take care of everything, c--i mean "son." oh, hell! all right. i delivered flo

mr. ray, wide receiver johns and tom bregedi. coming up right now.

. >> i like that from tom grande. >> nice mr.ts until probably july at best. i think you trade it against the 73 stop. we had downs and moves like this. each time it's been a reason to buy it. i think you're in another reason to buy it. below 73 you pull the rip cord and fight again another day. >> this from karen. short amazon going into earnings. priced high versus sales growth? >> amazon is just in the stratosphere. it has been for quite some time. great great company. i would be concerned about the margins continuing to get nar w narrower. that's a problem. however, this stock just defies any logic, valuation, reasoning, gravity. i couldn't be short but i definitely couldn't be long. >> beakers. >> that's for me. >> for the short term, at what s&p level will you lay out shorts aggressively? >> just about right here. i didn't think the price action today. >> backing out. gets hot out there, though. >> not today. it's hot out there. in the markets, it's not so hot. it's been a good month to be a bear. i think you can lay out sp

mr. snowden on the guardian. if tomanother whistle blower you represent and snowden said citizens with a conscious are not going to be ignoring wrongdoing simply because they'll be destroyed by it. that is inspiring talk. are we going to see others come forward, or is bradley manning now the example of what happens when you share information. >> bradley manning has come forward and he has received the worst treatment including torture, that was the conclusion found by the judge in the pretrial conditions that he was tortured. it's after seeing what bradley manning went through someone like snowden is still willing to come forward that says volumes about the fact that there are people out there who are moral who do have their ethical compass pointed in the right direction. i've seen more people come out leakic despite the government's treatment has grown harsher and harsher. i think there is a blow-back event providing information that should be available free in the public's interest. >> i was eyewitness. right after 9/

tom. no. the judge said i accept mr. connelly's testimony especially given you were not rebutted and the agent retires with a nice full fat pension. that's the thing about this. we were talking about how we game out whitey is one thing. it's what this says about the justice department. it's the fbi. >> i agree. the institution, corruption that source. is it -- you think it's lunchtime now? >> now i think it will be interesting to whitey on the run for sixteen years, he's finally caught living in a rent controlled apartment in santa monica california where he was living for fifteen years. it's a crazy story how he's caught. it's actually, you know, an former neighbor who lives in, you know, a former misiceland who lives in santa monica several month after year and back home, she's watching a cnn n report on the latest combine to find whitey. she recognizes the wanted posters on the, you know, of him and his girlfriend. he knows them because kathy, his girlfriend, by all the accounts a lovely woman. a complete, you know, i

mr. snowden is this moscow, he flew there from hog congreng ko. he's faseeking asylum in ecuado. with me now is tomeman, he'll tell us about his global flight around the world. >> let's look at how this broke down. this is where he traveled from, from hong kong up to moscow. and from all appearances, he's trying to create not only physical buffers around himself, but perception buffers. look at the statement fromm iw i wikilea wikileaks. they say this is a whistleblower who exposed evidence of a global surveillance regime conducted by the u.s. and uk. they're trying to help him to get into a democratic nation via a safe route. they're presenting him as a man truly on the run from forces beyond himself that may not be fair. let's look at where he is. the airport here, one thing that i haven't heard a lot of talk about yet that i'd like to hear some of the thoughts on the panel on, he's at the airport. what if the goal isn't ecuador at all, what if the goal is simply the ecuadorian embassy which doesn't take that much for the russians to take him out the back door of the airport and for him to simply

environment land management and tom have hired an attorney for substantial time to clear violations. she has met with andrew cars and had a very productive session with mr. cars to go through each of the violations and determine the steps required to clear each violation and also authorized the property management for elm to spend substantial time also clearing all violations, taking all steps required and obtaining all permits required. i spoke yesterday with the plumber to inspect the property and give us prices and he'll return to the property for additional estimates for completion of the work. it's the plan of mr. thomas to clear all violations. the department has been very cooperative and explained the steps required to clear the violations and they have stated the various penalties that we are appealing from are negotiable or up for discussion once the violation are cleared. i have spoke with mr. thomas to discuss the case. we believe we have made some extent moot some of the penalties that are here in this appeal. the one thing that we are confused about and we are having difficulty with were illustrated by some of the exhibits in the packet. i

country is tom goldstein, co-founder of the scotus blog, website that covers the supreme court that won a peabody award in excellence in electronic media this year. first blog to win that award. mrein lectures at harvard and argued 28 cases before the supreme court. tom goldstein, thank you for being with us. >> merry christmas. thanks to governor perry for letting me get that off my chest. >> i know you've been held back by the threat of the gestapo, right? there's no way to know if monday is going to be the day. what is your thinking about whether or not it's going to be the day? >> i think this one probably will go to the bitter end the justices heard argument as you described it in march. they don't give us any heads-up, but it's likely to be such a big fight particularly when you have two cases on such a historic question as same-sex marriage that some time in the next two weeks it's going to happen, but monday might be a little ambitious. it could happen for sure. >> what do you expect to be the outcome of these cases? do you expect they'll be decided at the same time, we'll hear about both rulings on the same day? >> i'd be shocked. they are twins in a sense. federal law
