their missions are sure the latest in our special series of travels across russia is heading your way next and this time the focus is the historic city of jaroslav. r. g.'s a close up team a journey that some three hundred kilometers northeast of moscow to the millennium old city of solve all it's day three of our exploration there we've already seen it's historic architecture and culture but one thing we didn't talk about is its fascination with sports when the friends want to check out how the region's landscapes are not just great to look at but to ride on as well i everyone's going crazy for sports in the yaroslavl region of russia just ask the roster of professional athletes speeding through the international ski federation's cross country world cup at germany a center of winter sporting leisure situated on their steam banks of the volga river poland's olympic gold medalist just snuck past the other women the first day of the races i know this is. the conditional is very difficult for the classic but i feel spoke with the next was the men's brains valentino cherished over herself the first female astronaut was blocking the finish. in the kenya it's

our city. i have also asked our city attorney to draft two pieces of legislation to address the issue. one version, a more extended version of supervisor mirkarimi 's current bill, is a complete elimination of taxes on stock options. the other is that we tax companies based upon the stock price of their option or the fair market value of the stock when they should not be fair market value of the company when it goes public and there is a triggering event for taxation. in addition, i have been speaking with the mayor and working with his office to put together a technology council comprised of industry executives, investors, attorneys, and other service providers to discuss the economic environment of san francisco and generate policy ideas that will insure severance is to remain at the forefront of our technology industry. i believe the idea of bringing this group together as long overdue, and i look forward to a long-term dialogue about the future of our city. lastly, before coming to city hall, my career was spent as a corporate attorney drafting stock options, as an investment banker, creating a financial analysis, and as a venture capitalist is

city is under assault like never before. in the 1980's there was drugs and crime and when we were starting to rebuild our communities we're being assaulted by congressmen and fwovers, and i think it's unfortunate, because i think we were just at a point where we were fundamentally changing what was going on in this, long-term. structural tiers. the work at the brookings substitute was doing to kind of heighten cities and we've had to change it to community-based groups that are going to help us fight the fight. and rarlings of what happens on the state or federal level, all of us in this room need to do what we know is important and we just can't be detered from our work. >> thank you. >> last word, snare >> traditionally we always workedal together but the smaller rural communities are now being involved, and i'd just like to say thank you. thank you, because even though we are a smaller community, we may not have this large of a budget. we may not have the same population and size, but we do have many similar problems, and i do hope after this conversation today, not only do we understand even other better but we can learn fr

s so let's see the effect of these republican economic policies in our little city here in the studio democracy this is back to democracy bill we've we've been here before and there's basically two competing theories of economics that are being played out and democrats are playing demand side which is how economics of work for six thousand years the republicans are playing supply side which is how economic support for the last thirty years which is one of the reasons we're in such deep trouble now with to start out with demand side this is this is how it actually works well here is here's a little town that has been basically devastated by the bush great depression that we're experiencing right now we have just a couple of homes here we've got a farm with a you know a field out here a silo and. a little grocery store in the supermarket and so not much happy people are out of work right they they're just scraping by so we come in as the government and we say ok we're going to give you some unemployment money we're going to do the opposite of what rick snyder is doing because you're une

our meetings. one of the reasons why -- for the drastic decline was because back in the early 1990's, the city and community advocates, the community partners came together and really worked on policies and legislation around a desire and a principle that the city will not detain young people with low-level crime, and instead, we created something called a community assessment and referral center. we covered all those low-level crimes into this community- based assessment center that we at that time had -- the d.a. had a juvenile probation officer, a share, represented a, as well as a public defender working together to really provide services to that young person. over the years, with funding, active list, and particularly in the last couple of years, under dcyf work, we have been trying to revitalize the partnership again. but specifically for that declining trend, is primarily because of those initiatives that we did 10 years ago. >> thank you very much, and thanks for the very enlightening presentation. appreciate it. >> thank you so much for having us. and if you have any other questions for

s advice. i had just come out of the hospital. i am in great shape now. i care for the most vulnerable people in our city. i believe that the proposal to rebuild think luke's hospital is appropriately sized. i listen. i am not a health care expert, but i am a lerarner. a technologically advanced hospital is the very best way to provide care today and in the future. i believe we have found that for st. luke's. it is my concern for my city that we have seismic beds. one is that they might fall down. five is services continue. the building may stand, but the services may be disrupted. we need those. i think it is right. i speak as a community leader. i think it is right that people push against cpmc on charity care. it was the st. luke's doctors and nurses that led the push against cpmc originally. i believe that was correct. st. luke's provides a great deal of charity care. we need to keep it in the city for our people. st. luke's has improved and cpmc is improving charity care. thank you very much. president olague: maybe you heard your name. >> thank you, presidents, and members of the health and planning

of the global economy is the key to what brought our city and america and the world's greatest cities back into economic health. if you recall in the 60's and 70's we were writing off urban america and the cities were on fire and have no hope. and then wall street came along and help discovered and build a global economy. providing capital to the economies of the world. and with wall street's reemergence, new york city was pulled into the economy and became the gateway and has prospered by the rich, new york and america has done well by the rich. >> how big is this place? >> 8.2 million people in terms of our population that were about a million writers than two decades ago. >> if you have eight million people, you are larger than a lot of states, why do people want to live in this dense area? >> i think that people want to one live in a place that is showing leadership, and new york has long attracted people from around the world. top talent from around the world to come here. for people like myself i came here from wisconsin. they say in new york, new york is made up of people that didn't fit in where they grew up. so it's a diverse c

s, they have done up to the date. he spoke about coordinating council which is one of our organizations in our community that was very viable at the time and the model of the city's commission was the one who superseded everything from highway 101 up to geneva avenue and all the way up to -- i forgot the name of the park now. and to bay shore and we represented quite a few people in our community. and since that time it has split and the entire community and the community was before it and i know you know from your board and 21 members there and we had that support and a lot of people who start working with the unions and has retired and this particular project and with city centers and we are 100% behind it. thank you very much. president olague: thank you. any additional public comment? seeing none, additional public comment is closed. >> i am honored to have several people here and they have streets named after them and going into candlestick park for the first time in 1960 and is too wad that the commercial development has not continued on for a lot of reasons that are out of our control at this point but maybe policies have been different and might have been

rail bed in that time, where i grew up in the 1940's, was 100% better than the rail bed just outside of this city on the amtrak line. that's ridiculous. our interstate highway program has changed little since it was created in the 1950's by the distinguished president, dwight eisenhower's vision. with ever-increasing congestion and we see it right around here and improvement costs, our nation's roads were even poorer, at a d-minus, in 2009. 1/3 of america's roads are in poor orer conditions and 45 -- or mediocre conditions and 45% of major urban highways are congested. just last january the main road in and out of one of the cities that i'm privileged to represent, the city of pejoke, was closed for 17 days, because of sunken asphalt. now, that may not sound like much, a little old town being cut off, but a collapsed culvert had created a two-inch dip measuring 252 square feet in size on the north-bound lane of state road 715. this resulted in hours-long detours for commuters and trucks, stymied local and regional business and regrettably reduced access to glades general hospital and the airport. similar stories can be found throughout my

our society in complex ways being part of the global economy. we have to put them back into economic health. if you recall in the 1960's we were saying this cities are on fire. they have no hope. then in new york wall street came along. wall street helped build a global economy providing capital to the economies of the world. with the wall street's reemergence, new york city was pulled into the global economy and became the gateway to the economy. it has prospered ever since. new york has done well by the rich. >> how big is this place? >> 8.2 million people in terms of our population. it is 1 million greater than we were two decades ago. >> you are bigger than a lot of states here. why did people want to live in this dense area? >> people like to live in a place that is dynamic that is showing leadership. new york has long attracted people from our around the world to come here. for people like myself, i came here from wisconsin. they say new york is made up of people who did not fit in where they grew up. it is a diverse community. that is what i fell in love with when i first came here. i found it to be so diverse and exciting. learning new t

s" curve. looks like we just lost our shot at the san mateo bridge but i can tell you the traffic is fine between hayward and foster city. and mass transit is all running on time except for ace. ace train number 3 still about 10 to 11 minutes behind schedule. ace train number one was on time. bart, muni metro and caltrain also look good. that is your traffic. let's get another update on your beautiful forecast. lawrence has nothing but good news this morning. >> that rainbow we saw in your traffic, that's the only rainbow we'll see all day long, guaranteed. lots of sunshine today, starting out with patchy fog and high clouds, as well. 40s and 50s not unusual. but by the afternoon, it's going to be something else. we have lots of sunshine, 70s and 80s this afternoon, breezy in the hills, other good under a huge dome of high pressure now building into california. look at the rotation around that ridge of high pressure a clockwise rotation bringing in the weak offshore winds especially inland and that will allow for some warming to continue around the bay area, probably not only today but tomorrow. record temperatures tomo

if we, as a city, have the majority of our jobs as government jobs and in california cannot balance the budget s -- and has to lay off people, that affects the whole state. when we start furloughing workers, and our workers do not come downtown and they do not spend money in our shops and restaurants. so we get a double miami in terms of california and sacramento. the last part, which is strange, we got together with the league of cities last year and said we're going to come up with the proposition, proposition 22. he clearly prohibits the state of california from taking monies. we have to have it passed overwhelmingly. that was last year. the state said, hmm, let's just eliminate redevelopment agency is now. so because they could not take money because of this proposition, they decided to eliminate redevelopment, which basically was a loophole to take money from the cities to balance them. those are the things that make it very difficult for us as mayors. >> on the subject of mares being blamed for things that they're really do not have control over, my mentor, mayor kevin white, who spoke of

to know that when no is the president of the new york city teachers' unions and the mid 2000's, i asked mayor bloomberg to let the union police our own profession. i like you did not want to see this cumbersome process happened. i believe that we should teach -- treat teachers fairly, because they are important for kids learning. i am not sure that we are the most important, but we are really important. what my teacher union does both nationally as well as in new york city, we tried to do everything we can to get teachers the tools and conditions they need to do their job. we need to make sure that schools are places that parents want to send their kids. and that educators want to work. over the course of the last two years, we have proposed how you change that so that nobody can use the issue of tenure as an excuse not to fairly evaluate teachers, not the focus on major construction is the best that can be. and what is happening in new york, there is no more rubber room. it takes 115 days these days to do these procedures. and nationally, we have made a proposal, based about what can feinberg has done for us, at the guy who saw

our temperatures are a lot cooler this morning, we're in the '40's, '30's. all this area you see empurpled 30, 39 degrees. looking back, there you see the temperature. 15 in redwood city 13 in hayward. you'll notice it when you had at the door. that is the cold air their we're talking about coming in with the storm system. temperatures this afternoon looking for mainly 50s but low sixties in the east bay. looking at in the pacific, here we have that system coming in giving us the chance of sprinkles. beyond that system is so we're looking for friday. it will begin to rain the thursday evening 11:00 p.m. but as we head towards friday morning more shares to the north, by noon, heavy rain rates to their start of the bay will pass through by 3:00 p.m.. still getting scattered showers. a similar story into friday evening. scattered showers. that will hold for saturday as well. accumulations' one-1.5 in. in the north bay. the pretty disastrous system, we will see its friday, a second act of it on sunday. all the gun to his own stable of scudder jars into next week. now, here is a look at the traffic. >> george: i good morning and the traffic department your drive should be

working together on school choice in the early 1990's when we served on the education an labor committee together. we said, let's give the kids in our capital city a real chance at success and a real shot at the american dream that they don't have. we thought to ourselves what do we have to be afraid of? well, as we turned out there was nothing we needed to be afraid of. thousands of families have taken advantage of the d.c. opportunity scholarship program. and there's strong evidence it's both effective and cost-effective. unfortunately the education establishment in our country sees this opportunity scholarship program as a threat. in reality this is an opportunity to raise the bar. because competition makes everybody better. i think if you look beyond the talking points and focus on the facts, you'll find that the d.c. program provides a model that can work in other communities around our nation. now, i think all of you know this issue is important to me. but i'll tell you this, this is not about me. i'm proud to say that i supported the opportunity scholarship program from the get-go. but i'm even more proud of the fact that i had nothing to
