encouraging that participation. now, the san francisco board of supervisors, in february of this year, voted almost overwhelmingly with the exception of yee who actually wanted the legislation to go further, called on alameda county to suspend urban shield. what we're calling on you today is to make good on those values, on that vote, and to pull out of urban shield, but also to reject the mou as it stands and to amend it so that you all have the power to not participate and to not actually fund these -- this kind of highly militaryized racist program. to say you can't fund the mou -- [ inaudible ] >>supervisor cohen: thank you. thank you. last group of cards that i have, tessa, david sparrow, dennis n. barrett. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is woods irwin, and i'm a member of the stop urban shield coalition, and like others here, i'm also here to urge you to reject and amend the mou with the bay area uasi. so as has been mentioned, the primary architect of urban shield is alameda county sheriff ahern. as ha

over 100 multi-employer plans with more than a million participants have already reported to the participants that they expect to fail within the next two decades. pbgc financial statement with some of the plans already on our balance sheet reflect the serious under funding of the critical and declining plans. our projections report shows this under funding is likely to increase our deficit as the years come. and as i mention we're likely to be insolve ent by 2025. by fund exhausted, when and if they get exhausted. the only money available to pay plans or ben if i wants under plans will be the annual premium revenue that we collect. which is now a little over $200 million a year. and projected to get grow to $400 million a year. so we're paying billions of dollars in obligations with millions of dollars of income. multi-employer guarantees are already very low. compared to the single employer program. and so a failure of the multi-employer program will result in those low guarantees becoming even lower. much lower. right now if you have 30 years of service, you're guaranty level is $13,000. t

and they really want to participate, because they really need workers. and when they care about it and they don't have a lot of applications in the hopper, they're willing to invest in it too. and partner with the community college or the nonprofits and guarantee that somebody coming -- they participate in these training programs. and they'll guarantee that when someone comes out successfully of the program, they're going to at least be sure they're going to get a chance at a job at that firm. and this is occurring. you know, this is an area that obviously congress can consider investments. but this is private sector. >> exactly. i think it's making it easier with everything from tax credits or if it is also just pilot programs, best practices, those kinds of things. i was just at summit academy in minneapolis which is focused on minority students, 700 a year are getting these credentials. and they directly go into the jobs when they graduate because the companies like thor construction, one of the biggest minority owned construction companies that just

they really want to participate because they really need workers. when they care about it and do not have a lot of applications in the hopper, they are willing to invest in it also. and partner with the community college or the nonprofit to guarantee that somebody coming in can participate in the training programs and they will guarantee that, when someone comes out successfully out of the program, they will at least be sure they would get a chance at a job at that firm. this is occurring. this is an area that obviously congress can't consider investment in but this is private sector -- can consider investment but this is private sector. sen. klobuchar: tax credits but also just pilot programs best practices. , was in minneapolis at academy they focus on minority students, 700 per year are getting credentials and they directly go into the jobs when they graduate because the companies like thor construction, one of the biggest minority owned construction companies that just work on our stadium that will host the super bowl, not that i am promoting on

thirteen thousand women now participate in the boston marathon that's an incredible think of. katherine switzer is seventy years old and yet she's still the star at this year's boston marathon. she talks about the event she experienced fifty years ago she sought after everywhere including here at birth to sixty one running group named after capturing switzer's famous number from the n one nine hundred sixty seven. then. when she talks about running it's always about life as well she's an inspiration to a soul that's here on. a walk with katherine switzer. we're heading to the finish line of the boston marathon. i don't show it to you. in a few days' time she wants to run this race again fifty years after the original event . i'm watching it and then they watch the race right there at. nine hundred sixty six i heard from a friend of mine here and cross country about an event called the boston marathon and it lodged in my brain that someday i would really love to do that and i. said to him hey did a girl run the boston marathon too and he said yes in one thousand nine hundred si

labor force participation rate has been essentially stable. i see that as a good trend showing improvement in the labor market because stability is occurring in the face of declining underlying trend and so it does suggest with a stronger labor market we've got individuals who are being brought back in a greater job opportunities in science they are singing. >> i agree with you that the trends towards working age adult is troublesome and we need serious economic policy to address and hopefully change that project tree. and dave robust business is set there. credit availability for small business. when congress passed dodd-frank, one of the major bases stopping the phenomenon of two big to fail. as we've seen them implemented, and they are all bigger now. you may have referenced that in your last answer with you edition of capital they are gotten bigger and bigger under dodd-frank and wasting community financial institutions going out of business at a record rate. how would you assess in particular impacting small businesses >> as you point the

and we look forward to them fully coming on board to participate. with all the rest of the participating countries so do you aim for this deal to be permanent because the permanent countries will start to pump again and the prices will go down again then you need a new deal so it's like a never house. together. in this plot form this palm and struck in the oil industry as more incentives what do. people forget that with. the. to make the is shill a revolution if you like possible. we have started seeing it dissolution. in the growth party in the united states particularly. tired or we have seen the wreaked numbers beginning to fall we have seen the productivity. and we have seen their shareholders their investors questioning the. use of the current business model all for volatile vs. we have seen a very sharp but it does in the fall funds from wall street that have been fine. this ramp up supply from about sixty billion us dollars to just six billion dollars . take a break right now one more battle continue talking to mohamed. the secretary general

when they decide not to participate in negotiations, they aren't in a good place to make any demand but we have to have a short-term c.r. we are in talks with our own members to go through all of that. so stay tuned on that. the house has passed all the appropriation bills. the house passed all 12 appropriation bills in september. so we here in the house i think for the first time since 2004 has passed all 12 appropriation bills ahead of the fiscal year deadline. the senate can filibuster those things. so we will pass a short-term c.r. that is necessary to keep the government open and keep talks going and hopefully people will participate and if the senate democrats choose to filibuster, they are voting for the government shutdown. reporter: senator collins has an agreement to get it addressed and conditioning her support on tax reform. could you support ex deer-murray on that? the speaker: i'm not going to comment. he senate did not comment. i want to respect their process and not comment on their deliberations. all of these issues and there are a number of other questions about the am

we've had a larger amount of participations at night. which is in part because the ethics commission is beginning to look more active so there is a greater interest. i would like to say, having read what bob said in an e-mail to the commission that he's a former commissioner that you might want to amend your measure to call for establishment of a capacity for people to call in and make comments that would provide a greater level of participation. he refers to something called a bridge line information that the city makes available to commissions at no cost and which up to 30 people can be on the line and they can make comments as you guys would call on them to speak. that would certainly increase this opportunity for people to participate in these decisions. so i would recommend that if you move forward with this that you add a provision to your motion that calls for the commission to explore and adopt, if to be a bridge line for people to be able to call in and make comments. thank you. >> chair keane: thank you. >> i'll move that as an

and we look forward to them fully coming on board to participate. with all the rest of the participating countries so do you aim for this deal to be permanent because the permanent countries will start to pump again and the prices will go down again then you'll need a new deal so it's like a never ending circle the declaration of corporation has several facets. one is the supply adjustments but we're also looking beyond the rebalancing over the market. which is insights know that beyond we need to keep this form of producing countries together. to ensure that we do not sleep bark. into the downtown. benefited nobody. in the last. couple of years and build in this plot form this broad broad form. into all paghman and structure if you like that will ensure those. gains volatility instability in oil markets and in the oil industry going forward that's a bit about how american oil fits into this whole picture because with heil prices what more incentive i'm sure is the enemy even more you know so well on the market does opec have enough production to of

to be summed up as potential terrorists then the vast majority of the participants. should be labeled as extremists and not only participants at this march because these kind of slogans you can hear all over poland if you ask me about organized extremism about these groups sometimes even refer to friendships groups from history then this is still a rather small fraction here in poland and also at the march we have a lot of participants who would say we are not even nationalists we are patriots we love our country but and this is a symptom for poland they would not have a problem to be seen and to march together with those extremists and i don't have a problem with slogans like europe has to be white or was a description of refugees and islam is a kind of troy and horse that is a danger and a threat for europe ok now they weren't alone there were members of the far right from outside poland also taking part in this annual nationalist march why is that. yeah it seems that poland and the whole region it's not only poland is an interesting place for those who dream about

he made phone calls and convinced women to participate the aim was to prove that women could run a marathon it was part of women's emancipation a months apart see on. the new marathon distance was perfect for cristoval and sick knee coffer schlager she started her long distance running career in the seventy's. coached by her fellow club member manfred stefani christer cover schlager has achieved an incredible result ten minutes before the finish line she separated from the leading pack and created a lead of almost two kilometers just before crossing the finish line she looks like she's running a few hundred metres on a training run looking completely fresh and running with excellent style she's heading towards a new european record. you're not completely exhausted no not in any way dr van ark and this confirms your theory that women are also suited to running marathons definitely i follow the race particularly over the last ten thousand meters during which most runners performance drops she was the fastest. i remember two men accompanied us some bicycles and always slow to sit down so we wo

the terms of participation should not be prohibitive for the. to participate either from. the beginning or then a time in the future let's say. about. defense it should not be prohibitive from cyprus to participate in one program of defense because there's nowhere for. i'm giving you the example of qualities so whatever they decide there should be no factors prohibit the the participation but when they talk about multi-speed europe from what i understand mostly about economic integration yeah but in first place no because the single market would be still there and it would not be touched the main factor of economic integration is that we have a single market. without customs without. any any. or. at least for. very issues of participation in the war and for the economic integration perhaps on issues of finance i don't know. from what i understand it listening to present macro none are like chancellor merkel economic disparity between its members because some are so developed like france and germany you have to drag everyone else behind do you not think that if this. takes

others within the fire department to step up an pamp. -- to participate. it's a very important program that we're offering. thank you very much. next item madam secretary. >> item 6. >> president cleaveland: sorry. commissioner veronese you had a comment. >> i noticed the letter is directed toward a particular supervisor. isyn isn't it the custom to go through -- >> president cleaveland: i think it's the compare of the public safety committee. it's protocol. it will be distributed. >> i was wondering if that was protocol. >> i think that was the request that came in to president cleveland and commission secretary from the head of alisa ann ruch specifically to commissioner safai. >> we didn't just pick somebody, i promise you. madam secretary. >> item 6, chief of departments report. joanne hayes-white on current issues, activities and event within the department since the meeting of october 111, 2017. including outreach to other government agencies and the public. >> good evening chief. >> good evening. this is my report since our last meeting on october 1

a sense of control for them -- so they will participate in this encounter as a partner. other end of the spectrum is a patient who comes in with a stack of things a printed off the internet. [laughter] dr. iton: and they're like, ok -- i think i have this, tell me why i don't need this. ok, can we focus on three problems today and the other 27 -- [applause] dr. iton: those patients have agency, they are in a partnership with you. they are looking to you as a guide, not someone who will disgorge information into their waiting beaks. that partnership is so much better for help than a passive kind of partnership. agency is a sense that you have some kind of control over what happens to you, so you approach the world differently. what we have found in our work is we have communities that feel like that patient. like they're like -- whatever you say, doc. whatever you say, mayor. whatever you say, board of supervisors. they are passive, they have given up, they have lost hope, and that is very bad for the health of the community. the goal is to build agency. the ability to pa

you could hear participants sang on state television that they were taking part to remove jewelry from power you could hear nationalists saying we want god or something. god with us or even see kyle. this is. it is very controversial because you could see that. right the far right march has become a very fertile ground for all kinds of radicalism and you could also. claim that the current. political climate climate climate in poland is rather sympathetic to those kind of ideas being. being expressed during events like this one well gosh acosta joining us from stitching in poland thank you. in the middle east tensions between saudi arabia and iran are on the rise the power struggle between the two are tribals has now spilled over into lebanon whose prime minister saad hariri unexpectedly resigned while on a visit to saudi arabia lebanon's president is demanding an explanation for the saudi got from the saudi government or why he hasn't returned. kuwaiti citizens heading out of lebanon their government is one of several gulf states that has ordered its people to leave the country this co

the ability to participate. small wins.people can see them making change and you bring them together with similarly situated people and they can start to see that they have some control and not only does that help change policies, as i said earlier, it changes their physiology. it makes them more hopeful and that hope ultimately, it helps. if the questioner was asking about absolute control. none of us has absolute control. it's relative. we're trying to build a relative sense of agency so people have more control over what happens to them, not absolute control. if i didn't get that question right, ask me again afterwards, but i equate agency and a sense of control. >> so do you think that an integration of hhs and could help on a better federal level. >> i love that question and i will answer that question affirmatively. yes, i think so. one of the most interesting meetings i ever attended was with the british chancellor of the exchecker, which is basically the treasury secretary in britain and they have a kind of accounta

and it was our risk up there were no other americans but half a year later dr fun can invite to participate in the boston marathon which he paid for to get the first time i think i heard of him was when i can set a world record in the women's marathon and i was so excited to read about this and then it seemed that somebody else from germany was always coming through the great christa fallen sick and then he brought them to boston and they performed so incredibly well here yes it was amazing and we were really all envious and wondering what was going on in germany and if we could be a part of it so many at least women were acknowledge that as one is on par with the man. this impressive demonstration by the two hundred sixty two women runners from all five continents cause the international association of athletics federations to send to observe this about new york to see whether this math and discipline was a worthy olympic sport for women. attention around the subject group in one nine hundred seventy nine women were running their own races the way to the olympic games seems to be open. fro

protesters participants visit the expressing their sympathy folks in a phobic white supremacist ideas. one participant who was interviewed by state television said that she was taking part to remove jewelry from power after sean thank you that was poku scan national socialist morrissey kyle but what is more important to on the line growing popularity of anti refugee narrative is also a reason for the growing popularity of the of the rally itself this huge independence rally was taking place on the slogan we want got which other words taken from an old polish religious songs some participants sad that quoting it's important for us because of their religion is important to our country and we don't want islamization so the anti refugee narrative is returning in this march and this is why joining it's attracting. widespread attention. by conservative part of the polish society i want to. conclude that the polish church first catholic church has many times condemned this nationalist attempts to establish monopoly on the rally and denied any involvement in this ok that was my gosh that guy

i participate on the bias work .ny of us in the actit community who participate inç - in the various work groups. we're trying to collaborate wit. we're trying to make things bet. and you've just reset it all thy back to december 2nd, 2015. the disdain is palatable, i aske you to reconsider this decisiono consider all of the input that d from the people most impacted. it doesn't matter what the busis community andç the -- and thoss have to say. of course they want tasers. they don't want undesires aroun. who are the people that are goit tased? their opinion matters. it's a violent tool of torture g to the united nations. it has no place in san francisc. i urge you to reconsider your d. >> president turman: next membee public, please. >> good evening, commissioners. friday was a rough one. sadly, we continue to make decin what you could call party lines. mayor appointments, board of supervisors' appointments. i thank you for saying that this an investigation. i brought something in front ofe sunshine task force befo

you did say agencies across the city are participating in these discussions. i think this board has been quite proud of the equity work that we've done around our transit lines. so it's going to be interesting to us to see how do we dive down deeper on that and what is the next thing we can expect to hear back from about this work? what should we be looking for from staff in terms of updating us on the agency's participation in this work? >> well, i would really encourage you all to up vit the four people who participated in the government alliance for racial equity to come and share their experiences in participating in that cohort over the year. and then i would also -- the way we've been asking the par tis pants is to continue the work is to develop some strategies or ways to engage with their agency. the way we've seen that happen in other place they actually have an ongoing -- and i think you an equity bench here, but to actually empower the people who have already gone through the process to either lead speaker series or hold workshops. the idea is they

participated, including headquarters. recruitment efforts toward all populations continue. see the red lights pulled to the right campaign for yielding to the right, receiving public attention, regarding how to react when there is an emergency vehicle approaching you. bicycle safety messages on social media and public areas that promote safe riding habits, wearing helmets, following traffic laws and yielding to pedestrians and emergency vehicles. an effort to reduce bicycle related accidents and injuries. other outreach this month, on october 1st, members participated in promoting fire live safety information, and october 7th, canine teams and the fire reserves attended at bark in the park. showcasing the canine teams and what they can do to help in disaster. october 13th, members taught fire and life safety to kids at the gene parker school 28th, the guardian exercise, mock radiation style, multiple incident throughout the bay area, and learned and shared many new skills how to respond, retreat and recover from these types of disasters. quick synopsis of e.m.s. the columbu

it was talking about the , labor forcerend participation is going to continue to fall. and yet we see interesting things the last three quarters of folks that were being predicted not to be moving into the labor force are moving into the labor force. we just saw some recalculation of numbers of social security disability. and all of a sudden, the longevity of the trust fund jumped substantially because it turns out and number of folks on social security disability moved back into the labor force. there is something in our models -- i know it is at the margin, but we are seeing some of the data that the substantial economic opportunity that is in the labor job opportunities is actually starting to pull people we thought were falling out of labor force participation. if you had and it just in that, where would you go to find more information -- if you had an interest in that, where would you go to find more information on that sort of thing? this goes to senator lee's question about back tests. , i mean, saidso researchers have done very detailed modeling of labor force p

no one is going to go down and participate.this something they attempt to do but don't really get done and the default later on the down the road? is this something that will blow over in a few weeks? probably not. the quantity of question marks is affecting the market today. there's a lot of so-called real money involved in here, big institutions like fidelity or g.m. what we haven't seen yet is the participation in the long-term of hedge funds. presumably, they might start coming in now with prices depressed as they are because they've been studying it for the last four years. they've been studying this closely hoping to pounce on an opportunity. mark: does this remain a localized event? you talked about the market reaction. the wider em market reaction has been muted this year. talking about turkey and the flare up with u.s. and ongoing political issues in south africa . does this stay localized? katia: for now. think about how depressed the prices were going into this. some bonds were trading higher in the 50's and 70's, bu

i was very impressed by their participation, taking the drill serious as well as the other agencies that assisted us in that drill. we had the agency -- >> chief williams, excuse me. could you start at the beginning for those who may be watching and don't know what the vigilant guardian drill was about? just, give those folks some framework. >> of course. assistant deputy chief francisco give us an overview and then i can continue with my role as well as his role. >> thank you. >> welcome, chief. >> assistant deputy chief shane francisco, homeland security division. large scale exercise involving radiological incident in san francisco and the bay area. occurred over a week long, a lot of training leading up to in the months ahead of time. two aspects of radiological terrorism incident. first part of the drill was what we call left of boom. detecting it, mitigating a radiological threat before it goes off. so, what about is about, dirty bomb, just give you a brief background. dirty bomb, an existing radiation source and use an explosive to spread the existing radiation. it does not create

and who isn't allowed to participate is very important and will be united states pull out of syria the americans have occupied significant portions of syria without the permission of the syrian government this is a violation of saying sovereignty. also foreign car governments have to stop providing assistance to extremists and terrorists there's a lot to do and it's not clear if the americans and their allies are going to help this process move forward or whether they are going to improve and competed but i think what is what is very positive is that these countries seems. to be determined obviously all three of them have their own opinions but i think the very fact that they're getting to get they're getting together and they're making the statements public show that there is a strong degree of determination but again you know as you pointed out your report of pointed out there's a very long way to go still yeah i mean you mentioned america almost accident well they have acted independently in terms of military action how do you think they're going to react to the proposal. of inclusi

thank you to everyone that's come out to participate in this discussion who have sent e-mails and who have taken the time out of their own personal schedule to join us in today's conversation. one thing that really has struck me is the level of diversity for the people who are against urban shield. you saw young people, you saw old people, you saw skrifgss, you saw jews, you saw muslims, and they were all advocating on the same thing. what was more concerning are the people that are in favor of the uasi training all fitting the same profile, and that really concerns me, because i think it speaks to the ethos to the mindsets of the persons that are making the decisions in the spending, putting the budgets together who are thinking about training. now, in this almost year-long conversation that we have had about this item, i've done a tremendous amount of due diligence. i've reached out, and i've spoken to every alameda county supervisor. i have spoken to sheriff ahern on the phone multiple times. i've met him in person, as well, as supervisor scott haggerty's event in south county, so

you're always acting in the interest of the plan, the participants and beneficiaries. now, i'll say the contusio the n says you have a duty to minimize employee contributions and defray expenses. the duty to the participants and the beneficiaries under the constitution is parliament. your first duty, is supersedes all other duties. >> this determination. settlers make this determination about who is covered by the plan. >> uh-huh. >> that's no what stu fiduciario but there are question os whan does the plan mean. sometimes we have a disagreement on who should get that benefit. >> i would say that first it would be a question of an interpretation of the charter. it would be a legal question. we would do our best job to figure out what the settler meant with that language. >> what the settler meant versus the fiduciary. >> to be covered by the plan. once it's determined who should be covered by the plan, you then have a duty to provide to that person or persons the benefits of the plan. >> the settler does it, not the fiduciaries and we're not settlers. >> correct. corre

participating countries that. the russian federation the two biggest producers within this group addition to the balls so to. a pivotal role. in getting this group together. and you know group to agree for the first time in history in such a supply of arrangement and the sure implementation fully. there. very special in will. to give. insulated ourselves. from the. wall of this commodity. the very decisions which we implement we have received. indorsement. from high quarters the highest government member countries including the russian federation president vladimir putin himself indorse. the continued implementation of the declaration of cooperation in order to not only to restore the stability but to sustain it going forward to avoid. the course of quinces a what we went through in the last couple of. yes so touched upon iran a previous question and it's interesting that countries like nigeria and iran they haven't released oil production to their level but they're very vocal supporters of the deal extension what

link to the businesses that are participating. many of the people in the bay area decided to spend black friday in the great outdoors. they waived the entrance and parking fees for the events they call green friday. it proved to be one of the more popular places to spend the day after thanksgiving for those who were thinking green. >> i would rather spend time with my family. >> we decided to get out and it's green friday so we're being green. >> and the weather was great. many other people spent green friday at bay area peach beaches to enjoy some of the warm weather. big crowds showed up at crown memorial state beach in alameda, as well as a number of beaches all around the bay area. >> and the tradition continues at ktvu this holiday season with the one warm coat this holiday collection drive. ♪. >> the donation program is underway and there are drop off sites including san jose bay, santana row. we'll kickoff that collection drive and sal got to local girl scout troops who are also participating. >> we were going to give back

not ready to fit us at its height even to what we encourage all the participants at the conference to arrive using public transport there are no parking spaces around the conference venue but there are shuttle bus arrangements that have been set up with carbon neutral buses. we're well positioned with special deutsche bahn trains to cologne and copeland's where some of the accommodations are. many other towns in the area are also housing participants quite a few people will be travelling to and from the conference every day dutch avella will be reporting extensively on the climate negotiations the building is right in the middle of the conference area. yes business with. mr know that i lowish oath and you will always remain my beloved parents. longstaff psalms two i asked him for. the guns he was a totally normal boy with the mocked up german parents desperately searching for their children and water the old fart is doing about them like you've disappointed parents and now appealing to german law micah's. next. when i'm travelling to be comfortable in life. but i also want to stay up
