lord, we are thankful for their dedication, their passion, their perseverance, and the families that their every effort. when it comes to our search for inspiration, scripture clearly speaks about where we should begin charting our course. we begin with prayer. we ask that you continue to guide our leaders with wisdom and understanding as they weather the storms that confront our nation. provide them with the vision necessary to see the way ahead, the strength to act on debacle decisions, and the compassion to care for the well being of those that they lead. fortified the result of the men and women who lead our great nation, -- fortify the resolve of the men and women who lead this great nation. in your coleen name we pray, and then -- holy name we pray, amen.

it is hard work, perseverance and hard work and work with each other. did bruce bochy and these 25 guys quick when they lost the first two games against cincinnati? no. did they accept the inevitable with st. louis? no. they carried on with determination and experts and pundits predicted that this san francisco giants was going to the world series and team work means everyone contributes and we saw those plays and three home runs for pablo sandoval right here in san francisco.

not only did we persevere, we excelled. we went into the neighborhoods and heard them. we lived through one of the busiest december in san francisco, and a good january and february, we can talk about that play-calling later. we were relatively unscathed for the mission district celebrating the world series. we pulled together as a team, with one common goal to keep the city safe. this took leadership not from the top down but from the streets up. the senior officers and lieutenants knowing what was needed. it took the captains to be sure that their teams were willing to work as one. and again keeping the city safe. we did it like the champions we are. like no other law enforcement can, san francisco's finest. as each of you move in your new role, you will have the technology of advancements that provided for us locally and regionally and around the world. and we have issued laptops, courtesy of hp, thank you very much. and making our officers more mobile and where they need to be. outside and on the streets. as i have said often, we have four generations of cops now si

the moment, keeping in mind that no big agenda can be accomplished without continuity, without perseverance over a very long period of time. today and your agenda you have the annual report; i asked staff before he left the authority to take the time to put together a timeline for you which i think should be informative to the general public as well about what has happened over the last 20 years. it is amazing to see in each column how a seed planted in 1992, 1994, finally came to fruition this year or last year. it takes oftentimes a decade or two to get a bit complicated project through the consensus process, through the environmental process and to the funding process. and the messes that i have for you is that it is worth it. what we're seeing today, central subway under construction, presidio parkway halfway built already, an amazing miracle, the transit terminal on the construction, that is a result of the effort of many people not just in this agency and boards before this one over the last two decades. it's really a tremendous i think, testimony to the continuity that i was referrin

i like to write about groups of people who persevere and make a life on their own aside from what the general culture is doing. i find that i don't consciously sit down and do that but it happens. in this particular book something that has fascinated me is sumo and sumo wrestlers and how they get so big and what it's like in their culture. one of the brothers becomes an sumo and that's why it's a big book! [laughter]. >> do you think that -- being a woman who is in women have been oppressed -- i don't know if they are now or not, dou think that has stimulated you in your writing coming out of that? you specifically and in general, do you feel like a lot of women have been stimulated by being part of an oppressed class? >> good question. >> very much so. i will try to answer a, b, c. for me, i know that the first thing i began to think about when i thought i wanted to write a novel was that i wanted to write about my culture. and because i had grownup in the chinese culture i wanted to write about china. i wanted to find out more about myself because of i was raised in the bay area and

and i think the lessons, as i mentioned, is even today if you'll work hard and persevere, you can advancen an organization. and i know of situations in today's world where people will begin at the bottom and rise to the top of organizations by hard work. and secondly, of course, it's very important to be fluent in the language that -- of your country, in this case english. and third you've got to give back to the community for the things that were given to you. so, i think lou is a great example and that's why i want to adjourn in his honor. >> thank you. commissioner sugaya. >> yes. i had the privilege of meeting mr. spadia when i was a little kid. and he was a member of st. pious church where one of my very good friend's mother was secretary. so, we had occasion to meet him. i don't remember exactly, but anyway, like to thank director ram for the railroad boulevard i-8 0 -- i-2 80 project memorandum. and i assume at some point in the future we'll actually have some presentation or something when it gets along far enough. * and then we also, courtesy of our secretary and i believe the ma

but that in fact narrow eyes worse than what the americans to do to them was actually so they will persevere. there will first appear until the americans and the negotiating table. whether that will happen because look the matter. we always love it here at r t when you get involved with the stories we're broadcasting and are right now at r.t. dot com for example we are asking you exactly what you think about the issue with north korea conducting these underground nuclear bomb tests all in the name of national security we're asking you if indeed they should be able to get away with this or whether it's actually fairly legit here are the numbers for this hour from our dot com right now and still there looks like a the biggest number of voters thirty four percent saying well yes indeed up john young is entitle to do this just ask hussein i think most of us know how that ended up coming in a fairly close second twenty eight percent now saying that their reasoning is flawed due to ideology and a sense of isolation in that of north korea they were getting down to the position of third place to twe

thises wasn't always easy, but with perseverance we worked together and got the work done. 67c.103 staff member was given work plan at the beginning of the program where it outlined the expectations and gold for the summer. * our staff completed such things as college registration, job applications, resume building, site visits and other work experience related goals. * each these two months were nice and we all appreciate the opportunity to work together as a team. some of the highlights of the summer youth employment program was completing the garden, a film project, and site visits to the airport. through many site visits we were able to establish collaborations for future employment opportunities. also, every wednesday we enjoyed gathering to go bowling as a family. on tuesdays we had family time to discuss complex and economic issues that plague our community and to improve our leadership and advocacy skills. for most of the staff at the inner city youth employment program it was our first job. we have never had a summer program in lakeview like this that gave jobs to not just young

a feeling of, you know, we've waited this long, there are many obstacles, pragmatic perseverance, i think, is in the heart of our community. but to be sure, a lot of optimism that we've not seen before, and it's really being expressed in new ways especially in social media where i think definitions of latino identity, latino clout, the ways that we tell our stories around immigration are now being seen for the first time. >> emil, you're from the central valley. that's certainly another big stakeholder in our state. is the agricultural community. what are youy. hearing from the? >> i talked to some growers this week. they're very concerned. everyone wants this mythical pathway to citizenship and they buy into that, but they say we don't want a pathway that will lead our workers into better high-paying jobs in the city. they're concerned about keeping their workers, picking their crops so they can make a decent profit, what they think is a decent profit. if they don't and i say, there's legalization, they're going to have to pay higher wages and that's going to mean an impact on consumers

fact narrow eyes worse than what the americans can do to them was anxious so they will they will persevere. there will first appear until the americans and the negotiating table. whether that will happen because look the matter. well there it out here we're always interested in your opinions on our current events and over the website r t v dot com we are asking whether north korea should pursue nuclear technology to safeguard its national security if we can all bring up the numbers right now from. and i'll let you know how you're voting at the moment here we go the numbers are changing every hour the majority now thinking well yeah north korea does have a right to pursue national security through nuclear weapons because well just ask saddam hussein what happened to him coming in now at thirty percent second positioning where their reasoning is flawed due to ideology and the current a tough situation coming in now with the third part that's eighteen percent now for the third position no they are mad men in north korea asking for war and the bare minimum now saying well they wish they had be

first i want to thank supervisor farrell for his leadership on this issue and r perseverance.his in my view, is balanced legislation that helps us to provide housing stability for everyone, both renters and t.i.c. owners. everyone deserves housing stability. if we have learned anything from the recent foreclosure crisis it's that not all homeowners are wealthy, in fact most are not and many in fact do not have stable housing. there's been a significant amount of misinformation as supervisor farrell mentioned and hyperbole about this legislation leading some to believe, inaccurately that it is a repeal of rent control. i have had people call me e-mail me, or stop me on the street, thinking that this legislation ends rent control in san francisco. that's an unfortunate thing to spread those kinds of -- that kind of fear in people and it's not an appropriate way to engage in political dialogue. i have a long public voting record supporting rent control. i don't just say i support rent control. i have almost a decade-long record of public statements and votes in support of rent co

california, the landscape is dotted with farmers that have stories of courage, dedication, and perseverance in the face of adversity. however, none have quite the history of the ikeda family, but to see how far they have come, you first have to see where they've been. in the early part of the 20th century, many of the hills above the arroyo grande area were farmed by japanese families, who planted a variety of crops each spring. together they banded together to form pove, the pismo oceano vegetable exchange, which was highly successful until world events hit this small coastal community in the 1940s. >> before the war, there was probably between 40 and 45 members of pismo oceano vegetable exchange. during the war, all the japanese families got shipped off to ifternment camps further inland, mainly to utah and arizona, and during that time, there was an alien exclusion act in which aliens couldn't own land, so you either had to buy land through a child who was a citizen or have some other citizen buy the land you and leased it from them, and so not a lot of people owned land back then. >> th

but the perseverance of all of the parties is just incredible and it is going to speak to what we are doing and all of the projects on the water front and we are going to continue with that determination and vision, and we are going to make it happen. and so we are very excited to see that this one is at least this will be... at least this is the first one in i could say under my term that i have seen, so i know there are many more to come and i am excited about that and again, thank you. >> commissioners, the item has been taken off, 9 a request authorization subject to board of sperp's approval to accept and expend $300,000 of the $919,243 grant from port wide cctv resolution 13-03 and the entire $403,510 for pier 80 security improvements in 2011 infrainstruct stur protection program, port security grant program funds from the u.s. department of homeland security for security improvements of the port of san francisco. resolution number 1 3-04. >> item 9 c, requests authorization to execute modification, to contract number 2757 pier 50 valley, substructure repair with west bay builde
