muni or others. when we spoke with drivers or motorists during our outreach, the number one thing people said was if you're going to charge me money, i want a nice, smooth ride, so please invest funds in street repair, pothole repair, and resurfacing. also traffic calming for the neighborhoods on the edge of the zone so that people see the sort of options that are most reasonable rather than simply taking advantage of all the additional streets. traffic calming is a huge component as well. then there are other improvements that could be implemented, particularly school and work site. programs to keep people more attracted to the sort of employment centers downtown and also potentially to reinvest or deliver some funds for school access through a ride share program or potentially to develop other ways of getting children to school. so as i mentioned, the northeast corridor is the best performer again -- among the dozens of scenarios we analyzed. however, we did look at other scenarios that could be co

about images, or we're talking about an individual's sense of shame or guilt or expectation. the language used by those around them or even language in, that they use themselves, about themselves, can affect their willingness to pursue a recovery and to pursue rehabilitation. we on one hand want to offer hope, on the other hand we want to stress that being in the throes of your addiction is not a, a good experience, without casting aspersions on the character of the person who has the problem. where's mom? did she forget me? i wonder what happened to her. what if i get left here? drugs and alcohol may make you forget your problems, for a moment, but that's not all you forget. my mother worked hard to be in recovery and i love her for that. for drug and alcohol treatment for you or someone you love, call 1-800-662-help, brought to you by the us department of health and human services. i had no idea it was going to be so hard. i didn't know what to expect. you hear the stories, but i never took any of it seriously until i found myself here. and then i realized i was going to ha

brother or my first grade teacher. if it makes sense from a fiscal policy and feasibility point of view to designate it that way with this issue in mind, then we would encourage the services to do that. it is possible that the army could do it one way, the air force could do this another. we tried to craft this in a manner that was respectful of service cultures and recognizing that each service trains and educates a little bit differently in so we tried to provide an architecture for the training and education to occur that then allows the services to flesh out the details of how they would do this consistent with their methodology and service cter's. >> -- service cultures. >> in terms of a follow up on the marine corps, one of the comments by abnormal and today was that the working group finding was that one of the most important parts of the implementation of a repeal would be leadership. is there any message that they're working group found or that either of you individually take from the fact that some of the str

or subject to whims of politician or wishes of bureaucrats?n the year with debate over government power to regulate healthcare. it forces americans to purchase health insurance whether they want it or not, that compels the state to raise taxes and tell them how to spend money they raised. micro manage the insurance companies. i asked jim clyburn from the house of representatives and person in charge of getting the healthcare bill passed in the house where in the constitution the federal government is authorized to manage healthcare. he replied telling me most of what congress does is not authorized by the constitution. this should come as a surprise to no one. i condemn his oath to uphold the constitution. constitution is supreme rule of the land. it's written to restrain federal government and compel the guarantee freedoms. if jefferson was right, the freedoms are as natural as our fingers. since our freedoms don't come from the government, the government can't take them away. we have witnessed ray of hope for fidelity to the constitution. th

or encouraged to leak secrets or to see what happens when they leave laptops around or so left behind by a troll they leave papers around they put stuff on wiki leaks these are all well known techniques to a lot of the public create sympathy and get more funding so this is this is a business. and so that. we would like to say well why don't we talk about that is there a better way to do that than to than to deceive the public about this want to just own up to it for example and the u.s. military loses more secrets into the single organization but they never admit it because they say that would aid the enemy. we want to be candid about that but your system should be talking about how the government will leak information purposely to test their systems or to garner more support do you have an example of that well i can only say that there are schools to train people like bradley manning can do in just that only internet it's at fort huachuca this is one of their training syllabuses that we publish if they. have to keep killing people how to run the sting operations by leaking informatio

reports they happened or maybe an inappropriate response to an injury downplaying the injury or over reacting to an injury what had happened is that her significant other had basically broken her arm literally broke it and she was in a lot of pain. she didn't initially want to say that he did also kind of look at the relationship between the partners to see if it feels odd to you just kind of your human gut instinct just kind of trust your gut and you always have in the back of your mind could this patient be a victim of abuse we know that frequently these women may have several encounters with. health care agencies etc before they stepped help and you just hope that you're the one that makes the difference any time we have concerns we can call our social worker and they can work with our patients to help them access any services that they need we have a lot of patients and a lot of women who are in these relationships who do not want to tale that they're being abused because they're afraid that they have nowhere to go or no one that's going to help them and they'll be out there by t

walking or biking. the other thing that we looked at is a retail survey. we conducted a survey of a total of almost 1,400 visitors to our downtown retail areas and we supplemented that with what we would call sort of control areas and additional sites. within san francisco, regionally understand how often do people come to the downtown areas, what type of travel or what mode of travel do they use to get there. are they driving, transit riders, walking, biking and then almost how much they spend on a typical trip, trying to understand what is the sort of on balance, how much are they spending on a typical trip. what we found is that drivers absolutely do come and load up their cars and spend a lot in an individual trip, but what we also found is they are doing that less frequently than transit riders and pedestrians. when you aggregate that or average that over a course of a month, transit riders or pedestrians are spending the same than slightly more. the foot traffic could mitigate some of the concern.

we have block parties every year in may or september or something like thachlt this last one our block parties are great way for us to get everybody. we get the starving students. we get the musician and it is artists and the families we get the you know people from low income housing coming. we get the corporate america, we get everybody at the block parties. it's because we do a variety of things. we have the bounce house for the kid. the music. you at our last 1 the guy named didz hip he's great. he was riding his bike bite block party he's an hoola hoop guy. he's on his guy with 30 hoola hoops riding his bike and said, hi, can i join. he had all the kids. he had a microphone and he was a spontaneous celebration. he sdoont live in our neighborhood but we invite him back. have an event. [inaudible]. >> yeah. well, music, music brings in people. young professionals, young people like music and love free food. >> if i may comment. not only the young professionals but also people we live in a multili multilingual city make sure you involve every segment of the community in our organizat

seven million jobs to countries like china or india needs or it's set up and there's a fundamental problem the arrogance which says only consider the interests of a small group of elite corporations only consider the interests of the of the big banks it's sold out mainstream america it's ok johnny when you have. an idiot only here in the united kingdom i've got friends or developers and friends who are in business you know and they tell me stories where they're go for a scheme a few years ago and then asked for a million pounds on loan and they'd be offered two million pounds out of banks i want a friend in dublin of the moment he went and asked for one hundred thousand pounds for a very very small development he had an amazing thirty year business travel record and the banks said no it has completely reversed it's the capital isn't there for small businesses to medium businesses create jobs and that's the worry at the moment meanwhile we're funding and bailing out ireland we've now got a position here in western europe of course where even the german people and the population of germany a

desiring or she's not thinking you know that she needs that or wants to come in the shelter we make sure she's aware of all the services through our outreach center and counseling and really encourage her to get some help for what she's going through suspicious place. where i go or where i can be a member emotion and some of there is what they show terrorists like a mother arms like a sweet boy be a home. for because he's not only a room a clean bit. so much more we feel so depressed so guilty so. somebody came to us and say. warry. would you want to be. your for we can help you. get out get out call the cops no matter what he tells you you can find safety you can find safety you can and you will find safety he will say anything he wants to anything he can to keep you under his thumb to keep you right where he wants you. so he can keep of the opinion and it's only going to get worse it's going anywhere it's getting it or if it got to make that step take that step of faith that faith in yourself you may not believe it and there but it's there it's there you'll find it and you'll find

are for example if you have a hybrid vehicle or or a car you know or one of these one of these vehicles they're actually more expensive so in a way it's trendy and there's a status to to make you know purchase the sessions like that that's sort of where the culture has evolved now to your point yes other countries are different and in asia for example you know it's very common to have your your mobile phone or a number of mobile phones show your status or you know to actually bring them out you know that's a different mentality i think one common denominator in both those scenarios is how we are being influenced you know in our choices and i think that there is there's a there's a technology component to this as well based on the kinds of things you know this kind of goes back to marketing right where you know a mass message may tell you that you want or need something but we're looking to our peer groups and we're looking to what our friends do we can see our our status updates online and facebook and things like that and see how our friends have x. and we may either want that or maybe

we don't have career paths to get them interested in school or art or music or all those things thatlly help kids find that joy in school that they might not find in an algebra class. >> belva: could we say the recession has something to do with this because of the budget cuts? at all different levels? >> these numbers were put together before. they're probably slightly worse now. so sure, recession is going to -- >> unevenness is the name of the game. and what's happening is america is not the fluid climbing society that it was and it's getting harder when something breaks, once people fall out decisively and this large. and even, again, if i go back to where does a kid get his first job or her first job? it's from a neighborhood merchant. that's where we got them from. and if you go into those poorer communities, you don't see the neighborhood stores. you don't see the infrastructure that's out there to help these kids go the right way instead of the wrong way. >> i imagine the budget would play in where there's not enough resources to intervene when they're in trouble. we were tal

or were we just bamboozled? if that's the case? >> in regards to this particular legislation, staff was not approached in drafting the legislation or any preliminary meetings. now, with this piece of legislation, i think staff's sumption would be that h.r.c. and -- because they cover the l.b.e.'s, they have an l.b.e. task force that they would be very much involved in drafting the legislation. and while some minor inputs i think were given at various phases, but they were not part of the -- my understanding is they were not part of the core team involved in drafting the legislation. commissioner o'brien: so we were proceeding thinking that h.r.c. was pretty involved in it and kind of driving what representation we might ought to have been there? >> well, i think here is the time line that transpired. we had no knowledge that this legislation was being drafted until it was introduced. and was forwarded to our commission. which then at that point in time we reached out to h.r.c. because it covers the l.b.e.'s, asked for their input,

the deputy or the assistant secretary or its equivalent. is the lowest level of the person working on the subject subject everyday. >> that is my concern. that is my concern. i think that issue is the predicate for addressing the concerns that usa panel have address. you have got to begin their. we really have to do a thorough review because i would testify in the next congress that as chair of that committee, i saw material that was classified that was absurd that it was classified and was just building up a backlog of classified information that everyone in this room today would concur ought to be in the public domain the concern that i have is not so much about wikileaks but about what we are not having access to any democracy. and again, i hope that in the future it is addressed, whether it is in this committee or any committee. may be a select committee is actually needed and people coming in who actually do the classification, not the secretary, not the head of the agency but to hear it. i had occasion working with congressman longer

each or any of the property owners will have up to five minutes for presentation or opposition for resolutions pertaining to their property. any owner of multiple properties will have up to 10 minutes to address all their properties in total. then members of the public opposing any or all of the resolutions shall have up to two minutes each to speak, and then the tjpa shall have up to two minutes to rebut. the board will then vote on each of these 12 resolutions separately. let me first ask if there are any questions about the process. seeing none, let me ask the district supervisors, supervisor daly, from district six, if he has any initial comments. supervisor daly: i'll take one minute. maybe the staff can yield one of their minutes to me. colleagues, we're here today -- i know that there are 12 resolutions of necessity in front of us. this really represents four outstanding buildings that are in the critical path to deliver phase one of the transbay transit center, one of the most significant public works projects in the region that has almost unanimous support across our city. and i think

has it been seen to be successful or did it change people's patterns? >> i don't know that i can say that it's been successful in changing people's patterns as a whole. i don't know that in each case the goal to change people's patterns as a whole. i think maybe what you are inferring, there is sort of social engineering that goes along with that. commissioner o'brien: that's the term that i'm looking for. >> the goal is not to change people's patterns every single day or for the rest of their lives what have you, but on a particular day at this particular time, can you make a different decision or do you have a better option available to you? one thing that we noticed on the outset of the study is that 80% of people do feel they have a viable transit option available to them. one of the things we asked is what can we do to improve that option and how can this program improve that option for you. but again, the different programs have had different goals in mind. in the case of both london and stockholm and reeven rome and milan -- even rome and lillian

like bosnia, beirut, baghdad, or bombay. we take our religion seriously, we are very diverse, and we respect one another across the faith lines. tavis: you said a couple of things that i want to go back and get. are we as religious as we once were? as far as the trend goes? >> we are probably about as religious or a little less religious than 50 years ago. we try to have an in-depth survey of religion in american life. one thing that has happened is that we become more polarized. some of these are less religious than we used to be. we have moved either to the pool of very religious or not religious at all. tavis: this is my term, not yours. i'm not so sure that our of religiosity makes it -- makes us as tolerant as we think we are. muslims come to mind. our tolerance seems to be decreasing. >> you have to have the right historical perspective here. 100 years ago, there were anti- catholic riots. by now, catholics are probably the most popular religious group in america. muslims are a special case. they seemed to be tied up w

if you of questions about a rehearing or board rules, please speak to board staff during a break or call the office tomorrow morning. the board of this is located on mission street, room 304. this meeting is broadcast live on san francisco government television, sfgtv cable channel 78, and d b d -- dvd's are available from sfgtv. thank you for your in. attention. we will conduct our swearing in. please stand and say "i do" after you have been sworn in or affirmed. do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you're about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? thank you. supervisor peskin: -- >> thank you, mr. pacheco. president peterson, commissioners, an appeal before the board of supervisors regarding the environment determination was deemed timely, and the matter should be rescheduled until after the board of supervisors can hear that case. it is scheduled for january 11 before the board of supervisors. the parties have requested february 9 as the date to which this matter would be continued, but, of course, the matter can be continued to any data

there might be some cases where the soldier, or the rape victim, or the person with the difficult ex-wife makes the wrong choice. but i don't see why that means that most of the time it might not be a good thing. - would you-- - dr. sandel, the soldier doesn't want to remember all that killing that he did. do you give him the drug? i would distinguish between a victim who wants to forget a traumatic event that was done to him or her and the perpetrator of a heinous act, even on the battlefield. i'm not talking about crime. the soldier's in battle. he's fighting for you. i understand... i think it's more dangerous for the soldier who wants to forget something in which, even though he had to do it, he was morally culpable. because that's not only blunting the memory, but it's partly cleansing the conscience. and the drug should not be for that. that's why it's different for a victim say of a rape or a crime. it is interesting question whether when you lose your memory you lose the wisdom that came along with that experience. all of a sudden, the wrinkles you have on your face are worth noth

interest or. spite of putting a bit about her cup ski i see him as the portrait of during grief road business community every businessman does what he is accused of but how do the cops get alone takes the blame he and his associates negative do you think our judicial system may have been to harden these people would you think about that as a lawyer and as a person we included. but here let me tell you what i think is the president no government official and this includes the president has the right to state their position on this or any other case until the verdict be it an acquittal or a guilty verdict has been voiced this is perfectly obvious that would deal with some on the much can push him of the most tragic events this year was the massacre of civilians in a village near the investigation into which highlighted the deep corruption between the police the authorities and criminals there were similar a cure and says elsewhere how can this be tackled mr medvedev on there. but it's an important s

through any agency or through this, through san francisco or san jose or oakland, and again i think everyone is open to change. i'm just concerned that because it's not there, we're not -- it could be too late for some businesses. vice-president clyde: and i just want to point out the other matter that in relationship to the l.b.e. portion, both human rights commission, which is, that's the body that really governs the l.b.e.'s and this commission which represents small businesses, both commissions were not able to, full commission were not able to hear this piece of legislation until after the first reading at the board of supervisors. president yee riley: commissioner clyde? vice-president clyde: yes, i will just want to say with -- for the record that i am concerned with the speed with which this is going forward. i'm not confident it's had a thorough vetting. there are many issues in here, like verification -- how long does a person have to be a resident of san francisco? where are people going to live? how large is the labor snool all these questions that the reason we're askin

you can think of this as a flood vulnerability map or a potential loss of snowstorm or the western problem as you can see and particularly areas like the west slope of the sierras and the cascades and part of the rockies are especially vulnerable to this. we in california have a huge stake in this sort of - this kind of vulnerability to warming. you can see there's some in the northeast but not to the degree we have here. we've already seen over the west,mory, is sitting in the audience, the hydraulicist and he looked that fraction of run off that happens between april and july. our tradition snow melt period in california, you can pretty much attribute the volume of run off from the sacramento system, which is - that's what is mapped here occurring between april and july attributed to run off, and that has declined from what used to be, i'm having trouble reading my own slide here but i'm thinking that's 40 to 30 percent, but we've lost a significant fraction of that spring and summer snow melt run off, and when viewed across the western landscape, that's lower map picture here on the lef

-- money or weapons. he is struggling for relevancy. he made lately about a month ago -- he made a plea at about one month ago. seven were kidnapped. he recently announced that any negotiations for the rallies have to be conducted through osama bin laden. this might be news to osama bin laden, and perhaps on welcomed news. they might not want to be engaged in the negotiations for the release of seven hostages they did not have a role in taking. all of this is a fairly positive trajectory. al-qaeda in the islamic maghreb seems to be on a downward track. there are several things that could take place that might change this. the evolution of aqim might move in a different direction. fundamentally, the biggest game changer are the increase is -- increasing linkages between organized crime and terrorism in the sahara. organized crime is taking on a number of different characteristics like drug running, from drug cartels better shuttling cocaine and through this era -- through the sahara. there is also contraba

from iraq right now or from lebanon on even the a gyptian coptic ancient ten or eleven million people christians in egypt they can't even build a church without permission and when they try to there's riots in the christians get shot and no one is held accountable for shooting them so it's a problem throughout the middle east but i think that you know i as an outside christian i have been living here for thirteen years i've been visiting israel the holy land since one thousand nine hundred two been to bethlehem many many times and i have to say i've learned to have a lot of respect for the native arab christians in the palestinian areas throughout the middle east and what they've had to endure through centuries and centuries of living as second class citizens in a muslim majority and this all predates the jewish returned to the land and the question is how did they maintain a presence here and only start leaving in the last one hundred years and i've talked to many before him bethlehem christians that some of the old timers who remember the british mandate even the jordanian occupatio

does it mean tourists were interviewed at union square or something? >> this is from our electronic town hall where we invited people to participate in a web march and it's from a -- webinar and it's from a panel what is random digit selection. we wanted to know more about the regional opinion. most of the outreach has been san francisco-based and we wanted to know the benefits and impacts in san francisco obviously. because it's a regional market, if you go towards the downtown, we wanted to hear from regional travelers as well. they are not tourists. they are folks who work in san francisco or come to san francisco a couple of times a month. we did want to at least get people who come to san francisco. commissioner o'conner: got you. president yee riley: director. >> so you had mentioned that it is the state that is the authorizing agent for trolling vehicular movement so disprove 26 affect the c. -- does prop 26 affect the c.t.a.'s inability to act? >> we are getting an opinion on that and other people are getting an opinion about prop 26. from what

from the other commissioners as to whether others would like a revoke or not -- a revote or not. and i think that the project sponsors admission that there was removal of fixtures, and i know from other cases that i have worked on that these kinds of plumbing fixtures do require a permit, that that is a concession. i think that is probably enough, but even setting that aside, we have heard credible evidence here tonight. commissioner hwang: i think we are supposed to hear from everybody first, and then we will address. president peterson: i just want to say that i think this is unusual that we are taking in additional evidence, and this was at the request of the permit holder. anybody have other comments? commissioner fung: i have some general comments. the decision made by this board was predicated on a wide range of issues, not just the issue of when construction started. in fact, not all of the findings are equal or pertinent in the decision that i made, and i find that the decision should be made on the entire issues that we had discussed and not on that one specific technica

were gay or lesbian. and his comment basically was just about the same as in society. a little lower on the male side, higher on the female side. that was his comment. well, i don't think anybody at the table is advocating that those people who are now in the military under "don't ask, don't tell" should leave other than on -- for the reasons of conduct. is there anybody that would disagree with me on that? so here's the ultimate question on this policy as it evolved. and that is when someone is serving well, and if they are gay or lesbian, and they get through the wickets that general amos so clearly points out in the small unit deployments, what is it that we should be doing? when they are 15 years into their service and they want to be able to live an open and honest lifestyle? what should we be doing? what do we -- what should we do with them? general casey. >> senator, you are talking about the period between now and the time the law might be repealed. >> if we keep the policy as it is now, "don't as

he knows that these tax breaks are not for a business like his or the dry cleaner or the restaurant or any of these other businesses. they are not for any businesses at all because we are not talk about corporate tax cuts. they are for very wealth people, some of whom you've mentioned, so i know my colleague from utah has been patiently waiting, and so i'm not going to talk about all the small business stuff, but i just want to remind people about this plan. under the president's tax breaks for millionaires, here's what would happen. under the plan that my colleagues across the aisle are supporting, people who make $1 million get a $43,000 break a year. people who make $10 million get a $400,000 break per year. people who make $100 million a year get 3.8 million break per year. the average middle class family making 60,000 gets 2500. we want to get that middle class family its break. we'll give the same amount to these folks. they will get a break, no more no less than the middle class family, but we don't believe these breaks when we have so many other needs and a huge deficit to boot

we are in a much better shape than in ireland or portugal or even spain or italy. i think the more immediate challenge reface is that a slowdown in europe could cause a slowdown in the u.s., could make it very difficult for the president to meet his goal of doubling exports over the next five years, which would help our economy, and we could see a slowdown as a result. host: these are facts and figures from the u.s. census bureau. i just want you to walk us through these a bit. in 2009, u.s. imports from europe and u.s. exports to europe, $281 billion, $220 billion, negative balance is $61 billion. in 2008, u.s. imports, $367 billion, $272 billion. there was nearly and $80 billion drop in some of these figures. host: we have to be worried about this. we saw in 2002, when the european economy slowed, and then in 2009, a drop-off in our exports. we have to be mindful that we need to somehow pay for all the imports we do into this country. if our markets in some of the biggest economies in the world, even a larger economy than the united states -- those exports begin

they must have heard about the summit or here or coming under cain shaw and a meeting -- under crenshaw and a meeting and doing what we're asking, calling the police, not letting someone in, making a phone call, saying help me move this person away from my front door. because this is not ok. >> that's great. just really quickly, roj, my second question was in the case of el rincon, it is apparent to me as it is i think the rest of this commission, and probably to you, that the owner is not really educated in this business. and she is constantly being either taken advantage of or misinformed by her managers or whatever. do you think in your opinion, this is your opinion, i'm asking for, that some kind of education course should come down the pike for new permitees ? >> yes. >> ok. >> yes, i believe for new permitees, i believe that would be beneficial. i guess why i hesitated was the -- i think we would really have to be careful and really look at the definition of "new permitees." what is designated, for lack of a better word, credityable experience in the industry. if someone says i wa

put your names down, mention them, and, you know, if we want to order the vote or reorder the vote or restructure it to get to an outcome, fine, we can do that procedurally. we can withdraw nominations or remake nominations or vote down a name if it's earlier in the order because you want to vote for someone later in the order and then go back to the earlier of the order but we can't do any of that unless we actually have a vote to actually have that process happen. so let's have that process happen and if we are not going to have that process happen now, let us clearly communicate what our intentions are on january 8, and if you want to say you're not prepared to have this conversation now, you're going to vote yes on this motion, but regardless of what happens between now and january 4, you want to have nominations and take votes on january 4, fine. at least you've said something. if you want to tell me you don't want to take motions and you'll play into the mayor's gamesmanship if he chooses to do that and you don't want to make a motion or vote on an item, or vote on names until t
