presenting his the comptroller's office's peg stevenson. >> good morning, supervisors. i will just make a couple of introductory remarks. most of the presentation will be done by julie kirshbomb. while mta is still looking at hiring a project manager, she is continuing to guide the work through the mta. for our part, the comptroller's office and mta have been working together by a partnership for mets since 2006. we have been supporting in a variety of staff capacities. in general we have had the procurement of complex professional service contracts. we would procure transportation management designed by our early consultant, which by an early market study of operation analysis, demographic and transportation pattern analysis, we worked with them to get grant funding to install automatic passenger counters, which greatly facilitated the data collection that informs tep throughout. early on there was an advisory group that met on a consistent basis dead included our office, the heads of a number of city agencies, mta, transportation authority, labor unions representing m

>> guest: that is -- the navy nurse that you pointed to is peg nash. the navy nurses, there were 11 of them who were prisoners of war. that was taken at oak knoll hospital in california, where they were sent after their liberation. c-span: who's in the middle right here? >> guest: jeannette mcdonald, the famous movie star and actress and singer. she was at oak knoll naval hospital visiting wounded sailors and marines. when she heard the navy nurses had just been brought in, she stopped down to see them. and i love that photo, because if you look at the faces of the navy nurses, particular peg nash, who had tuberculosis at the time... c-span: where is she in this? >> guest: sh -- you -- your finger was just pointed at her. c-span: right here? >> guest: you can just--if you look at their eyes and their faces, they're very thin, they're not well, and here's this glamorous actress next to them. c-span: what did they think, though, of a glamorous actress coming into the picture after they'd lived through th -- four years of you know what? >> guest: i asked

>> it builds on what peg saying, osha will never have. you can double the size of osha and it is gone to be unlikely it will show up at any given workplace. what the defense of a shot ultimately are is its impact on spillovers and changing the culture and the decision making people at about health and safety. it has tolenged is if t affect a range of the employers. equally, osha has to think about the other end of the spectrum. people who are dead set against adopting even basic health and safety standards and practices. ultimately, if you are trying to gauge how does osha have an impact and change things, it is thinking about how does it bring out the end of the spectrum that is not complying, resistant to change, and moving that up so you can continue to support progressive businesses that are doing the right thing and are pushing the envelope on approaches to health and safety. that is how you have to think about performance. >> another way to think about performance, what was talked about earlier by david michaels, setting new norms.

>> well, i think it builds on what peg was just saying. that is osha will never have. you can double the size of osha and it is still going to be very unlikely that it is going to show up at any given workplace. and so what the effects of osha ultimately are its impact on spillovers and its impacts on sort of changing culture and the decision making people have about health and safety. its challenge is it has to affect a whole range of employers. johnson & johnson has always been on the cutting edge and is developing new approaches to health and safety well before standards evolve, equally osha has to think about the other end of the plor spectrum. people dead set against adopting basic health and safety standards and practices. and so ultimately, if you're trying to gauge how does osha have an impact to change things, it is thinking how does it bring up particularly that the end of the spectrum that is not complying, that is resist tonight change, how do you move that up so you continue to support progressive businesses that are doing the right thing and kind of pushi

light, we will honor ~ess you in speech laszo you with language and make you bleat like the common peg you were. >> one of my favorites lines. we are spending a lot of time studied enequalities in algebra which makes sense, >> we have a wide range of forces that we call upon. and we try to respond to the diverse community throughout san francisco. we may partner with cultural organizations. we support literary organizations and lit quake that we do annualy. we might be promoting an author reading who is on a national book tour. there is just a wide range. and oftentimes we go out to the community and seek the partn partnerships or they might approach us with an idea for an event or program. as well as we have active community minded staff throughout the library who have a wealth of resources and ideas at their finger tips. they often bring ideases and from that we create programs. >> that was a really great program. that came to us as a lot of events and programs do through our book seller community. bo and our staff worked to bring poets and writers for a wonderful program. we had ove

this is a case of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. there are some overarching policy considerations that supervisors and others have about the merits of this proposal. in the context of this hearing, we are addressing the impact of the project. that is a narrow scope of focus and a broad range of concern. >> you talked about evaluating the feasible undergrounds. are they evaluating whether it is economically feasible in your judgment? is that physically feasible? >> we cannot speak as it relates to economic feasibility. again, what is feasible to at&t may not be feasible to another group that is much smaller. we're looking at technology, whether it can be underground. we're looking at the size of the facility that would need to be in order for it to be underground. the applicant would inform us of any new technologies. they have to provide us with that information. they are the providers in that specific type of technology. they would know what is new and what is available. >> the box turns into a much more massive underground facilit

pegging down the different sources of revenue. you can see that the lightest source is our sales tax revenue. we expect to collect $72 million in the next fiscal year. the second largest is the revenue for bridge tolls of the presidio parkway project. the next largest fees of revenue is the federal funding grant for the ybi improvement project for the san francisco transportation plan and electrification project. the next source, we have interest earnings of 1.2%, representing $1.2 million in revenue for the fiscal year. the next chart that we have, very historical, showing you the history of sales tax revenue. starting in 2004 we collected 68 million revenues. we had an all-time high in 2007, collecting again in 2008-2009, but collecting plastic in revenues. supervisor mar: that is including the creep upwar? >> the next slide that we have is the fiscal year 2011-2012 expenditures. 90% is for capital projects and expenditures. the past pay projects, they are sf -- pedestrian, bicycle programs. the debt service expenditures represe

>> i did build on what -- think it build on what peg just saying. very unlikely it will show up in any given workplace. what the effects of osha all the money art are the impacts on spillovers, the changing culture and decision making people have about health and safety. its challenge is that has to affect the whole range of employers. you have employers like johnson & johnson that are on the cutting edge, developing new approaches for safety well before standards evolved. equally, osha has to think about other ends of the employer spectrum, people dead set against adopting basic health and safety practices. all the money, you are trying to gauge how -- ultimately, you are trying to gauge how osha tries to engage in change things, bringing up the end that is not resistance to -- that is not resistant to change and bring that end up with progress of businesses -- progressive businesses. that is the way to think about performance. >> there is another way to think about performance, and that is what was talked about earlier by david michaels. it is not

listening to this public government action and by having uverse, i'll be able to do it again because the peg channels play on the at&t but they don't come on satellite. so, yet again, another reason to get uverse as an option for san francisco citizens. thank you. >> good evening, my name is eric batteauxbahoe. 40 years ago i was an immigrant to this country from the philippines and i was fortunate to land in san francisco. many opportunities have opened up for me and i believe for today's immigrants, the young immigrants to this country, technology, access to technology would provide them the best opportunity and it's hard for me to believe that san francisco would deny that, especially for a city that has a large immigrant population, so i encourage you to consider allowing at&t to provide that opportunity to allow technology to be useful for our young immigrants. thank you. >> good evening, i'm terry knight, an employee of at&t. i'm a uverse technician. i know the aesthetics has been an issue and there's been a conversation but i've seen far worse things in san francisco streets since i'v

we are pegging it at $5 during peak hours. that would be set by treasure island transportation management. caltrans would control throughout metering lights egress. there is un-bundled 1-1 residential parking on the area. it would be a transportation subsidy to subsidize transit from the island. we require all houses to buy a transit pass, with the equal of a fast past cost. my state law, it was already established that the titma will oversee transportation operations. we are recommending that titma the the city-county transportation authority. that will come before you. the board has to make the determination as to who is the treasure island over severe. there is a robust plan including $500 million toward renovating the existing public pool. there is a new police and fire station. there is up to 33,000 square feet of additional community service space, including a youth center or senior center. then there is the retention of existing buildings, including the chapel and existing gem. -- existing gym. there are 3000 annual con

this is of locris socle fall it is made of plastic pegs wrapped in twine.college didn't come up before he is 21 he also joined the marines and saw war in iraq. teasing and me sometimes to were barely teenagers. at a certain point i became too numb to the circumstances, to see that 13 year-old as a kid. i saw him as part of this and me ask barabbas. tactically, and still wrestling with that. he wrote the book, it happened on the way to war. documents and success stories from his work in africa. >> the key is been run on the ground by the kennedy. people like tabitha the to $26, sold vegetables, craig to the medical clinic and the clinic now, treat 40,000 patients. he said anybody can do it it's about helping build a new generation of leaders from within. >> it's about cracking down boundaries in forming relationships with folks like a different venue, but their routed along new and fundamentally be rooted in trust. the first three scream of he's racked up 300 million at the box office, this weekend the fourth scream movie should of been a sure thing for firs

that thing woulding pegged. this guy would be spinning. here's how you shut it on and off. like the gas thing, the valve thing with the square head. there are a couple of ears. you lineup the 2 ears. there is a hole to put a padlock. if it's on ita in direction of the /phroe. flow. when it's off, these 2 lineup. the 2 ears will lineup so you can put a padlock in there. that tells you you hava shut off. like that gas circle thing, if you see that thing in a sidewalk and you are standing in the street and you have that in front of you and look directly at the house you will find the gas shut off. same with the water. if you have the water thing in front of you and look directly at the house. 9 times out of 10 on the floor you will find the main water shut off, here. a lot of places have the sprinklers if you shut off the main in the street you shut off the fire systems. so, if you have a choice of shutting off the water in somebody's house go for the one that coming between the foundation, usually it's in the garage or basement. you turn it to the right. right to tighten, lef

. >> yes, that's great, and peg has developed the bayview-hunter's point transportation plan and that identifies the truck routes. and you are right, transportation doesn't stop at cesar chavez and we are including the bayview-hunter's point in the eastern neighborhood plan, and i appreciate you reminding me of that and we have to look at those areas and movement is important and trucks are big and yet people live there. thank you. >> i am concerned of the lack of human element and we are talk being about and it seems that people can affect pedestrian safety as much or if not more as the things you are talking about. we were taught that when you learn to drive, that you stop on the yellow. and now they stop on the red. why don't we go back the way it used to be, we don't hear to stop and look and listen. and these are the basics that we are missing. and we could have a bumper sticker, i sometimes stop on the yellow. and there are a lot of things of changing people's habitat. and about seven week agos, i took a pledge not to jay walk and to wait until the signal turns to walk. it's dif

it was originally pegged as 3.8 and downgraded to 3.4 before the usgs settled on a 3.7 magnitude. since this afternoon, have been four small aftershocks ranging from a 2.4 to 1.2. so far, no reports of any damage. >>> some wallets will be shaking tomorrow when the president comes to cash in here in the bay area. one president obama was here back -- >> the motor dade may snarl a lot of people's plans, jean. >> while the president is in town, you can expect delays from the peninsula to san francisco. there are already no parking signs up here in the city and several stops already on the calendar getting around may be tough. >> we're going. >> reporter: jose torres landed tickets to see president obama speak wednesday night at the nob hill ma sonic center. >> we anticipate a call time of 5:00 p.m. and will confirm in another e-mail. >> reporter: two days before the event the president's schedule is up in the air, probably because his two-day visit to the bay area is jam packed with campaigning and fund-raising. >> hi, everybody. i want to take a minute to invite you to a town hall me

germany and repaid give it sharapova started this game a favorite and ranked five places higher than peg events but it was the german who had the better start and quickly adjusted to the blustery conditions to take the first set six three however should wrap of the found her rhythm in the second taking not to love and then spread through the third six to the russians are a whole first title since may last almost pleased for her way back into the. guy with us first i felt pretty slow and sluggish was. quite windy out there today and i did feel like i just did well and i think that's what i started doing in the second so i was really moving to the ball and taking the ball early and just sort of feeling more confident. is her next opponent and that girl in form two after beating kim clijsters huge swept past world number three's a vanity over taking the first set to love and then the second six three match point decided by one of the oldest wayward forehand as confirmed by paul caught. three more roger federer will play great rival rafael nadal in the semi after getting power shields for mo

tonia heads the audit the side of the shop and will be presenting today and peg stevenson heads the city performance side. it is balanced between auditing and performance management. there are some unique projects. our work is driven by a host of requirements, some legal sitting with that our charter, some within the administrative code. our work planning process is driven by a limited risk analysis which we do every year with departments and lastly, we formed the work plan like the one you've got here before you over several months, working with city departments, stakeholders and city bitter ship, including the mayor and board of supervisors. with that, i will turn it over to provide a quick update on the current work plan. supervisor campos: before you do that and i do look forward to hearing from her, just looking at the mandate the voters provided on this item, it is a pretty broad mandate. i'm wondering if you could say a little bit more about that for purposes of the benefit of people who might be watching, just to remind them of what the 2003 charter amendment addition and what it

but a forensic examination of the torso in alameda county pegged their victim at 5'7".h to keep investigators from linking these two discoveries for more than two decades. >> so when i looked at that, i thought well that's not enough to rule out a connection. >> reporter: it wasn't until contra costa county forensic anthropologist mark dobbs decided in 2006 to take a closer look that he noticed things others had missed. he found enough similarities to order a dna test. >> got the dna tested, and it came back relatively quickly with positive match with oakland's case. >> reporter: but matching the discoveries still didn't produce an identity. 10 police have now taken the next step. creating this 3-d reconstruction of what a forensic artist believes their victim looked like. and donald williams has some guesses as to what his victim might have been involved in as well. >> possibly aryan brotherhood. possibly hell's angel. did some prison time. probably involved in the drug activity and this may have what led to his demise. >> reporter: williams admits that doesn't make hi

make a motion that we approve this project with the caveat that the number of affordable units be pegged to the number of units that is described in today's motion. >> second. >> and if i may clarify, i believe since they're playing an in lieu fee -- >> commissioner antonini. >> i think my question was answered. i was going to check with the project sponsor, if that sounded like it was going to be ok as part of the motion. and also, just as a matter of course, i believe that without having to come back for any additional approval, you're allowed to go 5% down and 10% up, i believe, on the count of units. and so if we did have fewer units built, that may occur. but we're locking in the inclusionary fee based upon the 320. is that going to be acceptable? >> yes, that's acceptable. maybe we could work together toward a solution on the unit merger condition, so we wouldn't have to return and find a way of handling that. that would be useful. i don't know that there are going to be a lot of three bedrooms. some people in the community felt strongly, and we wanted to be able to provide an opti

dollar was named the reserve currency and countries peg their exchange rate to it would. is the framework that holds today and it's something that's coming under question yesterday we heard george soros say that one of the big questions is if the u.s. dollar should still be the reserve currency and in fact he said that other currencies already are kind of taking its place that it no longer is the main reserve currency that the euro has a place in the economy that kind of fills that role or could and that so much diversification has happened with other currencies and also with commodities like gold and oil and so that's one of the real questions that bankers are asking here and and moving away from that idea that maybe the u.s. dollar and the united states in its place that it had when this is it you know pull their world back in the one nine hundred forty s. the thinking that that's outdated and that a new framework needs to emerge that takes into account as you mentioned developing economies which have been good commies that have grown at a clip and emerged as powers ove
