[applause] >> let's hear a thunderous round of aapplause for our two award recipients this evening. >> i sure you have taken a look at your programs and you can see what is going to be happening next. when we say latinos, we really, really imply art and music and creativity. that's why our next band is going to bring to us the heart and the soul of the latino community in san francisco. and while they get ready, i want to tell you a little bit about them. you have seen them playing before, right? >> they're truly amazing. how many have seen this band perform? >> what is also very interesting about them is that they are are relatively a new band. they were formed in august 2003. they have 14 young musicians that adore playing music. the director is jose and miguel. so they are here. and we really, really need to give them -- i really like to hear a big, big round of applause for them.

. >> the points peter made were very good ones. whether it's the planning or possible solutions, whether it's trying to get land use departments of our various countys to pay attention under the regulatory or legislative aspect, somebody even mentioned taxes, to make tough choices whether their solutions peter made or raising fees or taxes to support these efforts because some of these solutions - eventhough - in the long run will pay off, initially, they will mean some action, some heavy lifting by our coleagues and heavy lifting by our different elected leaders. to get that done, i believe it goes back to the point of public engage meant so, what i'd like to do right now is say, let's follow up on the comment that lester snow made about getting a communications plan going. one of the things to kick that off today i'd like to say the san francisco public utilities commission will be able to pledge one hundred thousand. my budget, well we have one vote but i think we can get unanimous support for that. but get a hundred thousand fo

to synthesize and follow up, i like peters comments. one of this things we do when we talk to more and more people is seeing a transition from a world we were focused on and meeting a regulatory world and now we're being asked to look external and further from the small boundaries of our communities and where do we sit. some of the ways we're helping and thinking of how to move forward is here is a set of what we have to do to meet the current set. how do we understand it's pervasive and crosses the miles of federal organizations. how do we use this world today in our,cip, planning to create platforms to leverage the real actions in the years and legacies we're putting together? >> thank you. >> one of the things we've noticeed our community climate development plan is greenhouse gases reduction metric, is pretty key integrator for integrating a lot of different activities so we've kind of adopted this approach of, an adopt the,un,fc. what needs to be done in order to do this we have to look forward 50 years ahead and we have to say, ok

but -- i don't know. >> larry: peter, will it ever go away?> you know, when you think about america's history, for how long it was that african-americans were slaves. how recent it was that african-americans really got the vote, really only 40 or 50 years ago, i think one shouldn't expect this these things will go away overnight. what strikes me, really, if you look at the long history of america's really, really terrible history on race relations, it's actually that we're in the best moment ever in american history by far. as reverend sharpton says, we have a long way to go but it's worth at least putting it in that context. >> larry: dana, do you believe it still exists to some fairly proportionate degree? >> that racism exists? yes, i do. i saw it most recently with cedric crenshaw in illinois. a black conservative woman being gotten off the ballot. i do see it. that's the thing. we shouldn't -- penn is so right. applaud what he just said. i'm tired of seeing polling data broken down like this. we are americans. we have american problems. n

welcome back peter and jay. have 58 films being shown through about 18 days and 101 screenings throughout the bay area. how do you choose what you show? >> with great difficulty. actually. what i was amazed by is the quality of the films we looked at and a lot of great films didn't make it into the festival because we had films that were either better than those or just worked better with our programming. quality is number one as far as i'm concerned, as far as all of us are concerned. along with peter there is joshua moore programming associate. we look at hundreds of films, free screeners helping us, we go to other festivals screening films we are looking for the highest quality jewish films and that is kind of -- we have some freedom with what that means but it doesn't just mean a jewish film maker. >> does that mean the subthemes have a theme around tough guys and a theme around music and a theme around some holocaust oriented themes, some israel, arab oriented themes. those themes emerge in a more organic w

on planning, though i want to ask peter to talk about that a little bit. >> thank you. what i'd like to do is maybe offer five specific suggestions. maybe describing one case study that i think is informative but before i do the question from the guy that was looking for a difintive statement i want to offer the following. i mentioned this document yesterday, this is 1997, the american water works association on climate change water resources, it's four pages - not very long. the subtitle from ten years back is quote global warming is a fact and water resource managers need to plan accordingly. end quote. that seems pretty clear to me. i like that. i'd be happy to share this with anybody that wants to share that with their constituents. the five suggestions for planning. i originally wrote these and the first couple started know something - that's not the right way to start it so i'll change it. all new related water infrastructure will be designed and built in climate water change over the life of the project. if your building something that will last 20 or 40 years or

here in tokyo our reporter yuko aotani spoke with a unicef representative in afghanistan, peter crowley, about the needs of afghan children. >> after all of this time the lives of people in afghanistan are still plagued by conflict and political instability. what do you see as the most serious issue facing people there, especially children? >> it is the conflict and security situation. it's very difficult to reach many parts of the country. but in spite of it all there is some considerable progress still being made. for example, after the fall of the taliban there were probably only between 3% and 6% of the children in school were girls. it's now nearly 40%. so there's been a massive enrollment in -- massive increase in school enrollment and a massive increase in the enrollment of girls. >> and i heard that there's a sort of early marriage issue for the girls as well. >> early marriage is also a big issue, and we address this in a number of ways. one of the reasons we promote education, actually, for girls is that it's a very important way of deferring early marriage and also in ensurin

for chef peter mcnee, it's the smallest ingredient that makes the biggest difference for him, fresh herbs're not just for garnish anymore. they're what he depends on for ultimate success. almost from the beginning of time, man has depended on fresh herbs for a variety of uses. did you know rosemary was a symbol of fidelity for the ancient greeks? and during world war ii, branches of rosemary were actually burned to keep germs from wounded soldiers. today, herbs still have a variety of uses and here in california, most of them get their start here. located in the coastal community of pescadero is jacobs farm. founded in 1980 by larry jacobs, the farm, along with the industry of growing fresh herbs, has seen tremendous growth in recent years. >> we started with one row of tarragon for a company in a san francisco market, greenleaf produce. >> and the market has just gone through the roof. >> jacobs farm has grown to become the largest organic herb grower in the country and has a complete line of herbs from the most popular--rosemary, thyme, and sage, to the most unusual. ever heard of cinna
