polk makes the american people an easy.he does all the dirty work for us that has made everything possible for us. yet we don't, you know, we don't erect monuments to. we can barely put them on the stand. it just makes us uncomfortable. and he suffered spent there are monuments to him in nashville. a few years ago and i was at the rockefeller study center in bellagio, italy, talking to german historians. and one of them said you americans know nothing about your history. you don't realize your greatest president is james k. polk. and i said really? and he said oh, yeah, he took you to the symphony. poke is unique in american history. the only president who did everything he promised to do. he said i will never run again, one term. i will in the high tariff. i will establish a stable banking system. i will acquire oregon, and i will acquire california. and by the time he stepped down he had done all those things. houston said polk is a victim of the use of water as a beverage. he was a workaholic. he worked around the clock.

i'm so hope that polk street is in it as well. it's my daily commute. i hope that in the next two years that i have the honor to be here as well to get some profit off this workshop as well. the third one with wiggle i think is a quite interesting one. we don't have a wiggle in the netherlands. we don't need a wiggle in the netherlands. but i -- i thought what an interesting word that is, wiggle. where does it come from? is it a san francisco-invented word? so i looked it up yesterday in the oxford dictionary. to my surprise i found the origin of the word "wiggle" is in dutch. sorry about that. it's to wiggle. to move to left to right. that's something we do in the netherlands. in politics as well. and even i find out that the name beggler, somebody who wiggles, is a common name in the netherlands and in the dutch translation of harry potter, the lady who writes all the booklets for the school in the harry potter school is madam wiggli. i thought it might be good to contact her to get some additional support for this workshop and then i find there's no

polk street, dewiggle and central market. our expectations are very high. we're very grateful to the nether land consulate and the folks who have come here, some of who you'll hear from this morning for bringing their time and expertise and lover and passion for cycling to us here in san francisco. we do have a great advocate for cycling here, although sometimes he says he needs a little bit of an electric motor to get up that hill by his house. he is 100% supportive of increasing the bicycle use in this city. been focused on the development of places like central market, which is one of the focus areas of this workshop. without further ado, i'm happy to welcome up to the mike our mayor, mayor ed lee. [applause] >> thank you, ed. morning, everyone! welcome here to city hall in san francisco. delighted to join this wonderful opportunity here and council general, thank you very much for bringing a wonderful team from netherlands to help engage us even better and to excite not only us who work here at city hall but our traffic engineers, our bicycle coalition,

supervisor kim: polk street eventually becomes one way? could you clarify that? >> that is the area that i believe the mta has recommended to receive a super transit grants to figure out at least a one-way, if not a two-way bicycle facility. >supervisor mar: let's move this forward without objection. all right. next item. >> internal accounting report and investment report for the three months ended september 30, 2011. >> good morning, deputy director for finance and administration. this item starts on 15 of your packet. i am here to present the first quarterly report a fiscal year 2010, which consists of activity happening in the month of july, august, as of timber. what you have before you are two tables that represents assets, liabilities, revenues and expenditures for the first three months for authority. you also have budgeted expenditures versus actual expenditures. total assets for the first three months total to $194 million. there were 131 million of that in the cash deposits and investments. total liabilities total to 219 million. within that you have 1

i'm the property manager at the corner of polk and bush. want to cooperate everything here linda has just told you. i'm virtually a ground zero of the noise problem and if i could be allowed to tell you -- to play you a recording of exactly what we hear on a weekly basis -- is that ok? >> this is a recording from a second-floor above street level. [crowd noise] i have a set of eight of these tapes. this one runs for half an hour. this occurs between the hours of 1:00 20:30 every saturday and sunday morning. sometimes it continues until after 2:30. i have tenants in my building that have been there 20 and 30 years. i have been there 29 years myself. in all of those years, i have never run across any invasion of our neighborhoods such as you are listening to right now. [crowd noise] >> this will go on for half an hour continuously. you can fast-forward to any spot in this tape and it will be a continuation of this. [crowd noise] i have tenants have medical issues. they are under sleep deprivation stress. some of them after they have been blas

on polk street, there are many incidences of drug dealing and prostitution. in some of the entertainment quarters, we of shootings that happened. these are perennial issues that the police department needs to continually tackle. i am a big fan of the concept of community policing. that is the idea that our local police officers need to establish a better relationship with members of the community, residents, and merchants. through that community partnership, we have seen true successes in being able to combat crime. you have eyes and ears on the street cooperating with the men and women in blue. that helps to reduce crime. i have been pushing our police department to implement that. >> your district is a well-known nightlife destination. how do you balance the needs of the residents with the needs of the restaurants and bars? >> i moved into my neighborhood in part because we have such a wonderful vibrant nightlife. san francisco is famous for our restaurant scene, are seen, club scene. -- are sbar scene. we have had too much violence around these nighttime v

polk county, florida, had never had a crime like a mass murder.so many scenarios to run down. was it an action of passion, perhaps or revenge? was diane, the dosso's daughter who happened to be a local prosecutor, the target? local police quickly called on the help of agents from the florida department of law enforcement, the fdle, the state's counterpart of the fbi. fdle agent tommy ray was put in command of a state local task force. it was a clear case. hopefully you'll solve this, but we'll solve this overnight, this is going to take a long time. >> agent ray knew all about crimes taking a long time to crack. he had a well-known an tagz with a knack for solving stone-cold cases. fortunately the erie manufacturing massacre would aren't be one of them. >> they began the investigation to look at what the crime scene itself could tell them. the hallways and offices in the shop where forensic technician his recovered 12 bullet casings, len of them.22 caliber and the other a 32. that meant two different guns had been used. >> initially we thought the

come up with exciting and doable, that's important, implementable plans for mid market street, for polk street and the wiggle route through the lower haight. they'll be coming back miraculously tomorrow night at 6:00 p.m. to share their design ideas with all of us. this is open to the public. 6:00 p.m. tomorrow night at the war memorial building in the green room just across the street, across van ness avenue. please come, and you will learn what the dutch experts and what our local experts and stakeholders think we need to make san francisco a truly great bicycling city, which i am sure we can do. thank you so much for coming today. we appreciate your enthusiasm and hope to see you tomorrow night.

it was a dispute between the riogrande and the river, and polk sent the troops down to the riogrande, saying we claim it all. >> host: they wanted to expand the territory for slavery. >> guest: you're right. i point that out in there. anybody who thinks this is a democratic revolution, texas was a slave state. it was a slave nation, but i do think that the americans were right in the sense they had a legitimate claim there, and the mexican army came right up to the border, and you had to fight, but there's no doubt once the war started, polk said, okay, who's that tryst? he sent him to mexico, the greatest state department agent ever who took the entire southwestern california. >> host: before we break, do you think the mexican nationalism really has designs on -- >> guest: i believe that the mexicans -- like 56% of the mexicans, i'm not sure the figure's in this book, but in earlier ones, believe the southwest by all rights belongs to them. i think they believe that as they move in gradually, the numbers, they will gradually become, as i said, socially and culturally a part of the so
