outreach and hit them with the numbers it would be, like, oh, thumbs up, the school wrote us a letter, our da, our district attorney to come see us, she wrote us a letter, so that's how you fund it. >> what he's mentioning is the former chancellor of the los rios college district, the former chancellor is now the statewide chancellor of community colleges, brad ferris who recently retired and now is the state chancellor of community colleges. he came out and saw us, surprised us one day. i felt like one of those dogs that won't stop rubbing against your leg. he really liked it. >> i don't see why not, we want to definitely express a word. a question over there? >> when i first read the description of the play tonight i was thinking in my mind, well, maybe i can skip it .s i didn't see what i would get out of it but you guys are 100 percent right on (applause) i been tracking gravanis for about 3 or 4 years. i'm not a tagger, a kid got shot, he is handicapped right now, another one shoplifting, one got stuck, they had to come get him, he was 12 years old. this young kid, it happened -- that's

i see phil ginsburg, i know bill is around, others from our da office, richard caranza and others from the women's status as well and the district attorneys from the various counties, the school administrators and instructors and superintendents from other counties as well, as well as our community-based agencies that are so invaluable it all of us. this is a very important topic and it's one that our u.s. attorney, melinda hague and i helped spearhead yesterday with 800 students who came together who watch an incredible film by lee hirsch i've heard the wonderful reports from the kids, seen their laughter and their tears. we are going to honor your making that film by doing what we need to do to stop bullying across the country. because the data shared by our u.s. attorney, representatives from the department of education confirm if we don't do anything about it, 13 million kids will become victims again for another year. some 3 million kids across the country will decide it is better to leave their school grounds than to continue their education. there will be more stupblting of the

the flip side, however, is one of ownership and control of our da data. t is the cloud; we take our data, corporate data and consumers, our data is sitting naked in someone else's environment under someone else's control. connell: how do we protect that? >> again, security and innovation is the key. i have a company but they're called volta so full disclosure on that. we've developed encryption technologies that let businesses encrypt their data before it goes to the cloud. it can be safer because the cloud providers, those that are advanced, are actually investing significant sums of money into protecting their infrastructure. the flip side is we as business people have to make sure that we maintain ownership and control of our data. connell: we've learned a lot here in the last few minutes. we have to go now but thanks very much. it takes awhile to get through some issues. >> it's a complex topic and this is just scratching the surface of it. thank you. connell: and as we've reporting all week, we've been passing along in this cyber threat series some re

had our to defend but the first one was very close flyby of a much larger asteroid that we called our da 14. and that when we had been watching for over a year and we tackled its orbit. when it was on a safe trajectory passed by the earth. indeed, the much smaller be right, 17 years in size that struck russia was not observed prior to its entry in the atmosphere. it was on a very difficult trajectory for us to be able to see from ground-based telescopes, and came basically in a sunward direction. so are telescopes operate from the ground in the evening of course from the night sky. one of the next major steps that has been initiated by the 612 is to provide a space-based assets that would plug that hole and a number of ways. this is why our partnership is extreme important for us to be able to continue, to be able to help be 612 with the sentinel mission to get up into space. to then to begin to observe many more of these objects that are on difficult orbit for us to see. >> if that same meteor, instead of striking a relatively rural area had struck manhattan, what would likely the conse

attorney. >> our mission is to make sure every one of the 25 thousand clients. >> can we move to different questions out of all fairness you were the one who brought the fairness in the da's office. >> let me just say i'm supportive of the recommendation and i think supervisor gonzales has already laid out the salaries. i think the december analysis shows the streamlining of our office and how you've been to meet up to the constitutional requirement inform the office. i think you started to say without those two or potentially investigator positions you myself may have to declare unavailability so i don't see it as a threat but as a realtor to our office i think it's largely a policy decision for this body and i think they need the staffing for the investigator positions. if i'm not mistaken supervisor gonzales says you're okay with the budget investigator recommendations >> and we accept their recommendation fully to make sure we stay within our budget. >> i see you just put on a few questions about some of the things you said. you talked about the city attorney having discretion p are you saying there's no discretion in our office >> yes, it's up to the client. i can't

(das gupta) in our instrumental music, you have to gather the ability or acquire the ability of singing to you, "here's a theme, "gi-ni-da, da-ga-da-da, da-ga-da, kae-na-ga-da, da-ga-na-da, di-ni-di-ni-da." and then you recite back to him, gi-ni-da, da-ga-da-da, da-ga-da, kae-na-ga-da, da-ga-na-da, di-ni-di-ni-da. ♪ ah-ma-nei-za, ma-ma-nei-za, ♪ ♪ nei-pa-ba-lama-lama- ba-lama-nei-za. ♪ you have to reproduce. [plays same piece] this ability comes only from singing whatever you're playing. it requires a lot of memory, and you have to be on your toes at all times because you don't know when you're going to get a lesson. it could be in a restaurant. it could be late at night while he's in bed. it could be in the car, in rush hour traffic in new york city on the way to the airport. but when it occurred to him to teach, that's when it was time for you to learn; time for me to learn. so i did that for about almost 20 years.

the fresco on the ceiling above our heads was painted by pietro da cortona in the 1630s.t decorates the reception hall of barberini palace in rome, home of pope urban viii, a great patron of the arts. to the modern sensibility, molded by the notion that less is more, it may seem decorative and confusing. a careful look at this work, done at the height of the baroque period, reveals a well-thought-out design based on a written plan. when urban looked up at his ceiling, he saw the figure of divine providence stretch her arms to a chorus of maidens who carry his family emblem, the barberini bees. they carry the bees to crossed keys of saint peter, the symbol of the papacy, and to the papal crown. the painting's meant to be read. it tells us that pope urban viii is a great and worthy man, but also that the ideals of the classical world have been subordinated to the values of triumphant christianity. every figure in this swirling panorama has meaning. the scenes painted around the sides of the ceiling tell stories extolling the pope's virtues. his unyielding battle against her

da's ours urged the justice department on tuesday to take action and block washington and colorado's we'd friendly legislation before their foolish war on drugs goes up in smoke as one former da chief peter bensonhurst said my fear is that the justice department will do what they are doing now or do nothing and say about that and if they don't act now these laws will be fully implemented in a matter of months. because all these former d.e.h. . agama job overseeing richard nixon's failed drug war over the past forty plus years it's simply legalizing marijuana is just common sense and no one who thinks otherwise anyone who thinks we should keep pouring billions into a racist drug war that only benefits private prison contractors is well smoking something bad and the very very ugly house republicans talk about tilting at windmills on monday house republicans proposed a bill banning funding to a court in new york it is a show of voter registration group that does not exist anymore acorn was slayed by right wing media lies in two thousand and nine but just to be sure house republicans are

. >> john: it's time for our thing of the da day. it is gun reform dropout.i'm talking about senator tom coburn. the oklahoma republican had been working with three other senators on a bipartisan bill to expand background checks for gun sales. that's something everybody wants. the majority of nra members favor that. but senator coburn, the man with an "a" rating from the nra could not accept one simple part of this very simple, very popular plan requiring gun sellers to keep sales records of the guns they sell. car dealers keep records. amazon.com keeps records. even some responsible drug dealers keep records but it is just too much to ask from somebody at a gun show. so new york senator chuck schumer who leads the group of senators is walking away from coburn and wants someone to replace him maybe republican who will actually dare cross the nra and risk a b plus rating. yesterday, like a punch in the stomach, i was forced on this very show to agree wholeheartedly with senator rand paul of kentucky, the man who spent just under 13 hours filibustering the nomi

but now our location has been datafied, our mobility is da, atafied all the time. think of books. think of words. in the past we would look up to the temple of delphi and see two mottos etched in stone. later, we had books. and even more recently we scanned those books. google, for example, went to many libraries and scanned books. and the first thick that they had -- thing that they had was a digital rendering of what was on the page. it was digitized, the book was digitized, and we had the words. now, we get the benefits of digitization. westore it easily, we can proces it -- well, we can't process it per se, but we can certainly share it. what we can't do it is analyze it because it was just simply an image file. so what happens when we can take those words and extract it and treat these words as data while suddenly what researchers are doing is they're looking back at all the journal articles in the medical sciences going back a century. these are hundreds of thousands of articles. and they're looking for side effects. a human being reading these journals for a century would n

our staff speaks several languages including can toe knees, man da raoen and spanish, two of the investigators are bi lingual speakers and that is important because the largest number of our non-english interviews are conducted in spanish. for languages other than the ones that i previously mentioned, we will obtain the interpretation services, last year we conducted 14 intakes in spanish, and five intakes in can toe knees, one in russian and one in american sign language. we have a website, which is www.sfgov.org/occ. and if any of you would like additional information on the occ, this evening, in your investigation dennis max um is in the back of the room there and we also have brochures available on the table. and that concludes my remarks. thank you. >> thank you very much director hicks. any questions for director hicks from the commission. >> just want to tell you a little bit about the medation and it is a real helpful process. when the people interact with the police the officer use the person's voice as the first level of force, they need to protect themselves. they don't understand w

keep in mind we haven't added any new employees to our officers you just appointed more personnel to the da's office. we're asking that you give us funds for staff at a experiences level >> you brought up the plea bargaining. however, i have heard of situations where in a particular category of cases the public defender's office will start advocating spearhead i didn't trial cases and that's putting pressure on the district attorney's office. that doesn't strike me as a situation where all the clients are at the same time saying i want 80 a speedy trial. i say that because i know there are certainly ratifications >> i can tell my clients ask for a speedy trial so all my investigators will be over worked. well, to go forward with a speedy trial or not we can't make that decision because of the budget we have. and secondly because we go to trial in thirty or 60 or 90 days the district attorney's office is going to dismiss the cases and thirdly we have to investigate cases we don't know what cases should be considered for plea bargaining and what cases to go to trial. when you look at wrong fill

our partners in state and local government. when i think about the hate crimes cases and the other cases i've done, i've made friends for life with local law enforcement officers, with local da's and local community leaders who have been our eyes and ears. when i look around this audience i really appreciate the fact you have all the ingredients of reform and improvement. i have had the privilege of serving in the federal government, as melinda described, i've had the privilege of serving in state government as a state cabinet official back in maryland, i've had the privilege of serving as a local elected official and governor -- once a local elected official, always a local elected official. what i learned from that is partnership is what it's all about. if you want to confront the most vexing problems, you have to bring people across an ideological spectrum, you have to include the business community, you have to include our nonprofit, our faith leaders. that's how you get things done, when you bring people together. and i look around this room and i see that you have already figured that out. i hope some of you had the opportunity to meet lee hirsch because i've done a lot

i was a pilot da the - the areas of a lot of the schools in our districts are it's even more difficult some of the districts that are for the larger projects and some of the other schools the collaboration will work well, and hopefully, will take away from the schools so we can put that money to work on larger projects >> are there any other speakers? >> my name is bert. i left my copy of something i was the national bike summit easily this month. it uses a number of school districts as examples. i want to cover the other end that was alluded to. it's not so much the traffic it's dealing with traffic itself. i don't know if you're away aware but the book noted a study said that the morning traffic is related to driving students to school a huge amount. i note it the transportation plan for the excuse me. assigned to the schools is handled by superintendent but it doesn't seem to cross over like secan does that looked at associate projects this seems to be a separate plan that relates only to students. with that i want to ask - point out that we really need to look at the traffic proble

da's office. in 2003 the controller come forward with a budget that showed clearly that our office needs to have more funding and we think that's captured in that 10 year figure. in our 10 year period we've only expand by 10 attorneys so it's not a situation where the money is going to those employees. bob you want to sigh something >> yeah. some questions. you know, your - what you're requesting was i understand the reason we need to do a two-thirds vote to pass this because this appropriation was not accepted in the last meeting. the presentation you've made is a perfectly legitimate by it strikes me as a bit odd when we talk about that it's normally unanticipated things that happen where you need to do something in the middle of the year and from what i can tell there this was something that wasn't budgeted in the last year and they moved forward anyway and is now asking for that money. and that i think raises a bit of a red flag. i think someone in his office made a conscious budget choice to do something and is now asking for 0 supplemental. i asked for this from 2000 and i did it because i thou
