mr. speaker brown and mr. speaker scott. >> good morning. my name is sharon and i'm vice chair of the district 11 council and a 4 year resident which is located in the heart of district 11. i do not come forward to test by earlier because my neighborhood has never seriously been in danger of being split into another district. but i wanted to take this last opportunity to speak, to publicly thank the task force for not just listening to the public, but to actually hearing all the folks who came to testify. and for your commitment to keeping neighborhoods whole. for you reuniting the other neighborhoods that were split 10 years ago. i also wanted to thank the consultants and kay for all their work in getting the draft maps and the boundaries up on the website so quickly. and lastly i would like to thank any fellow council members who came to testify so passionately but respectfully for their neighborhoods in district 11. so far we have only lost population in those areas we all agreed to sacrifice to keep district 11 whole. it is an honor to s

yes, mrs. brown? >> hi, my name is marzel brown and i work with central city collaborative. and today i'm here on the behalf of the bristol hotel. which is located on 56 mason. mike nolty has showed you the little map area of where we want to stay. it is very, very small as you can see this little section right here. that's what we need to keep in district six. so if you guys will help us out, and remap that, it will be a great deal to us and the tenants in the bristol hotel that we deal with on a daily basis. thank you again for your time and your preparations and you guys do a wonderful job. keep up the good work. >> thank you. >> following mrs. scott will be shelby, lisa shin, pierre and natalie brown. >> good morning task force. my name is lois scott, and i live by cathedral, i live on cathedral hill by st. mary's cathedral about two and a half blocks from the proposed hospital site. i'm on the board of the cathedral hill neighbors who were dispointed that our neighborhood who was going to be reunited in your quest and necessity to have the numbers come out was still spl

mr. brown: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator ohio. mr. brown: i ask unanimous consent that the privileges of the floor be granted to the following members of my staff: kareem yakub and jasmine raoul, mr. president. thank you, mr. president. mr. franken: mr. president, i ask to speak in morning business. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. franken: i just want to do one thing in terms of responding to senator grassley, who is a friend and we enjoy very -- a very good relationship on the judiciary and are just friends. but the idea that these provisions -- these new provisions in the vawa bill are just political, it just couldn't be further from the truth. you know, there's one provision -- i'll just talk about one provision. it's about women on indian reservations. who get abused by a partner, boyfriend, husband who isn't native -- and this happens all the time -- and this gave jurisdiction to the tribes to prosecute this. and i -- i'm on indian affairs. i talk to tribal leaders all the tirementgy to reservations all the time. you

. >> thank you, mrs. brown. next speaker. >> the police are talking about community violence with any kind of authority. historically, the sfpd have exploited committed to violence in order to justify your own violence in our communities. it is ironic that the police would have the nerve to come into our communities and teach conflict resolution, right? i think you guys need conflict resolution. i think it would be an incredible use of resources. the overspending that we do on law-enforcement and san francisco could be beautifully spent on some type of conflict resolution training, some kind of sensitivity training. you are talking about having our kids not use guns on the street. i'd like to see the san francisco police do that. what you are seeing in our communities is what happens in any low income community. when you destroy the financial infrastructure, people start fighting over crumbs. that is what is happening. we are lacking services. this is not a problem the police can solve. i would like for the poli

we concur with mr. brown, and we recommend that you approve this resolution.our recommendation to reduce the amount. chair chu: thank you very much. why do we not open this up for public comment? are there any members of the public who wish to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. without objection. and then finally, item 13. clerk young: item number 13, exempting a limited number of special parking events with non- profit corporations for the sole benefit of the san francisco public school, earning less than 10,000 dollars in gross revenue per event from rent, from the requirement to pay parking tax and other requirements, he issued by the tax collector, and making findings, and an amending the san francisco police code by amending section 1215 to exclude from the definitions of parking garage and parking lot special event parking. chair chu: thank you very much for reading the item. colleagues, this item was heard last week. we had to continue this. the presentations were done, and we heard public comment at that time, but i know a representative fro

with a fairly full tranche chief strategist at last bank of on start asset management for thank mr brown hello it's still too early to say whether greece will get its break but do you believe there's any patients left with afternoons in the. we think finally the politicians will try again and give greece another chance we don't think that's the right way to do and to walk but we think the political will is still here to keep greece within the euro zone you know on the order of one hand surely mr sun are it's new how much of a stretch this bed would be if the situation in greece really that desperate there the situation in greece is extremely bad and since three years to really make the argument that there's a whole new one way or for s.q.l. and regaining of competitiveness in greece and this is the exit from the eurozone and greece is bankrupt i think there's no discussion about that today and it hasn't been two or three years ago and let's imagine something does get its breathing space so what was done could the government really reverse years of recession and corruption in so brief tim

taxpayers' money mentoring is a should be patentable at area managing and i'm going to hold fast to mr brownacing another and more sustained food prices higher prices population growth bad weather and. wealthy british style stock. that's not on the. market. to. find out what's really happening to the global.

mr. speaker brown and mr. speaker scott. >> good morning. my name is sharon and i'm vice chair of the district 11 council and a 4 year resident which is located in the heart of district 11. i do not come

. >> the time of the gentleman has expired, chair recognizes the gentleman from georgia, mr. brown. >> thank you mr. chairman. in march 2009, president obama issued a memorandum expressing how important it was for the public to be able to trust science upon which policy decisions were being made, and political appointees should not suppress or altar scientific and technological findings or conclusions. i'm very troubled that the moratorium decision was imposed without any scientific support and that political officials at the department or the white house altered the 30-day report to incorrectly suggest that peer reviewers had endorsed the moratorium when they scientifically did not, all to the contrary of the obama administration's own scientific integrity polices. the i.g. office aggressively investigated scientific integrity violations of the past administration, but seems to have less aggressive in pursuing this investigation. so do you agree that it is inappropriate for political appointees to altar or -- to alter or suppress scientific findings or conclusion? >> i do. >> are

mr. brown: thank you. i rise to discuss the troubling state of our financial system in the unfinished business of wall street reform. i'm here to talk about specifically about too big to fail banks. decades of reregulation, louisianay fair regulations -- laissez faire helped them grow from 18% of gross domestic product only 25 years ago to 68% to 2009. so 18% in the 1990's to 68% in 2009. we know what happened next. during the financial crisis these megabanks collected $1.2 trillion -- just to understand that figure, if we can, $1.2 trillion is 1,200 billion dollars. and a billion dollars is a thousand million dollars. to think these six megabanks collected $1.2 trillion in federal taxpayer funded support from the treasury, from the fdic, from the federal reserve. two years after we passed the dodd-frank wall street reform act, i supported it because it took important steps, i'm concerned we're not seeing reform nearly sufficient enough reform in the financial sector. as we uncover more and more risky, fra

he introduced themselves as mr. brown. his real name was gregory. he was known to the russians as a great love of mythological code names. san francisco was babylon, new york was tire, washington, d.c. was cartage. if you remember your mythology, it was the boat man who was across the river styx. his job was partly that of a talent spotter to find people who would be sympathetic to the soviet cause and might be recruited and the specter actually a recruitment effort between kheifets and of the codiscoverer of carbon 14 for which he will later received an award from the department of energy. but his picture will end his career. he's fired the day after it is taken in 1944 because of his association with kheifets. this is a recruitment effort but what kheifets had none is invited tiemann to come and meet his successor and to have dinner with him at the fresh beebee to fish grotto. in the invitation was made both of the fbi picked up the word from their wiretap and the army from their wiretap on the office so they knew about the rendezvous from the fbi

now, it appears that mr. brown has caved to public worker unions again. major reforms to the pension system in california, instead he got minor changes, he didn't get a 401(k) style retirement plan for new workers, he didn't get concessions on health care costs for retirees, what he did get affects only new hires in a minor way. i say, charles payne, that brown folded. charles: folded like one of the old accordions that used to be popular when he ran for president. it's mind-boggling, we've talked in the last few months three cities in california that filed for bankruptcy and california, the state itself is on the same path. it's mind-boggling. i mean, put some skin in the game. when you talk about retiring at minimum of 52 instead of 50. give me a break, these are civil servants. that's not what people want to hear. stuart: and the cap on pension payments only apply to less than 3% of retired workers, the salary cap. last word to you, nicole, welcome to the show. >> thanks, i enjoyed watching some of chris christie last night and i think about california

mr. brown, it's greet see you this morning. thank you for joining us. >> good morning, joe. you? >> i'm very well, thank you. it's going to be seven years i guess. can you take us back and compare and contrast the differences you think in terms of where fema is today and where fema was back when you were director? >> oh, sure. i think there are three big differences but not fema. the bigger differences is as you were hearing on the report with the army corpse of engineers, there's a $15 billion investment by the taxpayers to improve the levy system and the flood control system around the city. now, i'm not convinced that isaac is going to turn in to the storm that will really test the design requirements of the levy and flood control system but this is a test for it to see if even though it may not test the limits let's see if the system works. i think it's going to so that's a huge difference. to me -- >> go ahead. i'm sorry. >> we to me, the two most important differences are mayor mitch landrieu and governor bobby jindal. both of those guys were in katrina. i mean, bobby

. >> go head, mr. brown. how was it for you? >> it was a blast.l you next time. >> i call. nice to see you both. that does it for us. as we leave you, we'll look back at the week that was. in the meantime, have a great weekend. happy friday. >> it was one against two tore a while. now it's two against two. we're going to bring a message to the country. here's how you get the country back on track. >> the battle for the white house got especially nasty with both sides throwing hey makers at each other. >> he's going to let the big banks write their own rules. unchain wall street. they're going to put y'all back in chains. >> mr. president, take your campaign, the division, and anger and hate back to chicago. >> did you write those words yourself? >> of course. the president is running to hang on to power. i think he'll do anything in his power to get re-elected. >> they'll say stop it, grow up. >>> hot, dry, windy conditions making life difficult for firefighters. they're battling dozens of wildfires burning in ten western states. >> firefighters b

mr. but willie brown. what you think of the governor's new role as professor schwarzenegger?what did you think? >> it is incredible but it is what you can do when you have $20 million, you can open your own institution. $20 million is really impressive and the contests sequel he will be able to attract, the real thinkers, all of whom need no compensation and it is at southern california and it is really a step up >> but is it he rebuilding himself? he was bounced out of office and his personal life was a complete mess. he had the child out of wedlock, up, his movie, and now he is coming back with usc and movies. >> arnold has never been out of the limelight as you so eloquently put it. he has always been a part of the scene to the extent that he wishes to be a part of the scene. he is topical, opinionated, he has produced product during the time he served as governor and almost every time anybody says anything about what is happening in the state they reference arnold schwarzenegger >> it is not exactly the ball of the public eye for the past year. do you usually take a break
