it would be a program between 20 to 30 megawatts or 50 to 75 residential accounts with an initial contract phase of 4.5 years. i know in the budget and analyst report there is a recommendation to change contract to five years. we are certainly open to that recommendation. yes, shell energy is the supplier of this contract. i will be the first to say at the very outset that i wish the energy industry was run by different players. i wish the companies that we -- as a city could do business with had a different track record. the reality is that the reason why jurisdictions like ma ren county are doing business with shell is because that is the only option we have. that is to say, though, that we have to understand that as we look at this contract, the goal of this contract ultimately is to lead to a build-out that no longer requires us to engage in those type contracts. i'm not here to defend the track record of any company but i do believe there is a way we can responsibly do business and protect taxpayers and it does so in a way consistent with values and principles we have as a city. this

again, it is my great honor to have this program and conversation between susie and jean paul gaultier very fortunate at the fine arts museum because in fact susie mencus' son lives in the bay area and she comes frequently to visit the family. it is always my favorite time of in the exhibition, when she comes and i get to walk through the exhibition with her. it is so learnful. i wanted to share that opportunity with the rest of the bay area. one of my favorites,ur

here is a comparison of the overall cost and scheduled appearances at the program level between the last two reporting quarters. starting with the regional projects cost. we are now forecasting the cost of our regional projects to be $11.9 million more than what had been budgeted for these projects. this represents $12.9 million improvement over the forecast of the previous quarter. we currently have $144 million in the program management reserve that can cover these overruns. a large portion of the forecasted cost increases are associated with the peninsula pipeline seismic upgrade project, which i have reported to you. we have all large forecasted increase in the habitat program. on the local program side, we are forecasting a $21.8 million underrun, which represents an improvement of 20 million in additional savings from the previous quarter. the regional program is still forecasted to be completed by the approved completion date of july 2016 and on the local program, we are forecasting 2.3 month delay over the approved completion date of mid-2015. these forecasts do not take into acc

again, it is my great honor to have this program and conversation between susie and jean paul gaultier. i feel very fortunate at the fine arts museum because in fact susie mencus' son lives in the bay area and she comes frequently to visit the family. it is always my favorite time of in the exhibition, when she comes and i get to walk through the exhibition with her. it is so learnful. i wanted to share that opportunity with the rest of the bay area. one of my favorites, during the laurent exhibition, one of my favorite moments is one suzy stopped in her tracks. she said, this is it, this is what is true of any great artist or any great designer. when they do something, it can be shocking and avant-garde, but years later, we stand and look at it and believe it has always existed. i think that this is true of jean paul gaultier's work. i know that have been friends for a very long time. it is my honor to introduce both suzy menkes, fashion editor of the international herald tribune, and mr. jean paul gaultier. [applause] >> the love seat. [laughter] i just want to know, can you hear me?

chris, we had a moment, a brief pause in the program between the keynote speech julian castro and the first lady's speech, and in that brief moment you described the julian castro speech as one of the greatest speeches you've ever heard. i've got to ask you why you said that, what it was about that speech that you liked so much and what do you think it did tonight? >> i think it's very important for people like you and i whose families came from europe ultimately to begin to understand families that came from latin america have a very similar immigrant experience. latinos and latinas are brought up to being self-reliant to, make it in this new country, to get anything but a public education but they don't expect to be somehow victims of the society or somehow needy people. they help very much to share fully in the opportunities of this country, to become ultimately perhaps a bit upper middle class, to get to the top of their ambitions and i think that's really important. i've never heard it put so well, the immigrant experience of someone that came from the south as well as from the w

program to baltimore. partnerships do exist between our organizations and various schools, but the program would make sure that resources are distributed efficiently. >> the idea is due to a survey, look for the gaps, and is there a better way to provide equity to those arts education resources so every child in the community can have our as part of their education? >> and the kennedy center will fill in some of those existing gaps. baltimore is the ninth city to be lucky enough to be selected for the program. >> rain is on the way. if you have to do things outdoors in the next couple of hours, it should be all right, but around 9:00, 10:00, rain chances will steadily increase. insta-weather plus shows dry weather in the immediate baltimore area. uc showers approaching harrisonburg, moving up to charlotte -- to charlottesville. again, all of that means in our general direction, and there's a lot of it on the gulf coast, till -- too. two systems. it is not a completely bad thing. we actually need the rain. but it will be different. we have nearly perfect, late summer conditions. let's check out the area as

program still using brown power. in other words, the city could adopt a tax on brown power alongside that would have the effect of reducing price difference between clean power program and the other. that would essentially give customers a more robust choice between brown power and a tax and green power that costs more. there could be economic harm associated with the tax increase. however that could be made neutral by reducing other taxes or fees consumers pay. so i think that that kind of complimentary policy, particularly if cca were to be made an opt in, you could have a consumer driven and highly efficient -- perhaps the most cost efficient way of climate reduction policy in san francisco. >> supervisor campos, do you have a question? >> yes. i know we have the contract with shell and the novel contract. i'm wondering if you took -- my understanding is one of the things that comes out of that contract is there is a new customer care center that is created by that contract. was that taken into account in your analysis, your report? >> you mean jobs? yes, it was. >> thank you. >> supervisor kim, you have a question? >> i do. for clarification,

as a result of cutting nutrition programs that stand between many poor women and being able to survive, i think the obama campaign is reaching out to those minorityes, women including to suggest, yeah, it's been tough. we had a horrible condition we inherit. give us a little bit more time to fix this because it doesn't take just three or four years. but at the same time, they were selling a vision and a value that i think appeals to those people. we'll see how successful that is. >> schieffer: dan, you had a big, long piece in the "washington post" today. what do you think that president obama has to do here? >> well, i mean, one of the-- one of the issues is -- and it was-- it was set up at the tampa convention with the notion that people are disappointed with the president. they went hard on the idea he's not a bad person, but he's not been a successful president. the key, i think, is whether they can turn disappointment into rejection. and i think what he's got to do here is two things. work as rerric suggested, something has to be done to energize or reenergize the coalition he put

commercialized can be manufactured in russia we're still a long way so i'm simon last time we did this program or in between time my group went on vacation and we went to vladivostok it was one story that dominated the the papers and the internet that was pussy riot and none of this what we've been talking about here where it's russia's political risk because that's the only story we heard for about what six weeks or so as russia's political risk changed whatsoever because of that or what i would call russia's kone two thousand and twelve i mean i think there's a. the hypocrisy of the store store in the western press. in the u.k. where there were the riots during the summer a couple years ago and we had instant instant courts and cameron saying that we must put these people in prison and yet with where we are with russia you know all of a sudden i would push the right everybody condemning the verdict the girls were very stupid there probably wasn't the best choice of place but it was a western western plot where the western press just went a little bit ballistic ok eric well they were you wrote a lot about

program. >> what's the cost between haldol and the new drug that came out? >> it's a difference between haldol and a entire category, the a typical antisigh cotics. it's a many expense. that doesn't mean haldol is the right drug for every patient but what this study demonstrate said when you look at a large population, for a substantial number of patients, the older now available as a generic drug, is in fact more effective at controlling symptoms than the newer category of drugs. so it just speaks to the issue of first of all, the treatment needs to be at a lord to the individual and that if -- tailored -- we need to enter into the prescribing process with an open mind whether i fact this new drug offers any advantage whatsoever to our patients. >> the cost of the treatment will drop by as much as 80%. >> correct. >> and you get the same effect right? >> correct. >> that's really quite dramatic. in fact, it led an editorial writer for the british study, his name is jeffrey lieberman, a researcher in the trial, and he said the claims of superiority were grea

six high school students and three college students between ourselves. the program management team and web core aci. at the end of their internship students came together and gave a presentation on what they had been studying this summer, what they were going to go back and take back to school with them. it was a nice ceremony we had at the end of their time with us this year. this is something many reported at the pla, the carpenter's union and representatives from the trades have been continuing to work with john oconell high school. they have a new instructor for the tech 21 program, as well as the unions went and toured roosevelt middle school in the richmond district to take a look at what it would take to reactivate the moth ball equipment, the moth ball shop program they have there. hopefully we will be able to report back in the future there are more shop programs coming forward. >> just wanted to speak on the challenges. the team has been working web corp. ted wang specifically with schwartz plowshares and other agencies, the veteran's administration and ot

thank you for joining us today just a bit ahead of you in the program we'll look at whether the relationship between the u.s. and israel could now be on rocky ground the cracks have been there for a while and now seem to be growing wider washington growing tired of israel's insistent calls for a strike on iran over its atomic plant. found the u.k. police are deeply affected of by austerity find ways to resist job and funding cuts and we'll tell you how they're letting the government know the dangers. having less of. that. now a tanking economy rampant unemployment and a foul public mood may not be the worst of spain's troubles catalonia its richest and most prosperous prosperous region it wants out its leader saying that if he wins snap elections next month he'll force through a referendum on independence greaves looks at what the rush is all about. the regional elections being held in catalonia will be seen as a de facto referendum on independence from madrid and from essential lies government and that's largely down to who's running on the ballot paper we have present our soul mass regional heads

programs. they spend somewhere between 1.5% and 1% of the overall evaluation christi provided that it is about one-tenth of 1% occurred programs should conduct periodic evaluations, but also should examine other important measures of program effectiveness. they should require researchers and practitioners to work together to work it -- to come up with useful evaluations. it would help the practitioner in designing programs. steve is asking me to wrapup pinned some of the efforts that we have seen, including dol's effort in having a clearing house like d.o.a., i think that would be valuable in a long way. unless we take seriously trying to design the work force system, what will eventually happen is that the republicans in the house will succeed and we won't have job training programs, at least federally-funded training programs, going forward. i think that would be a bad outcome. >> we have time for some questions. i would like to pose the first one to the panelists. one thing that strikes me is that there is a great deal we don't know from a narrow economic perspective about what works and wha

i believe this program strikes the right balance between achieving our environmental goals and protecting our vulnerable customers. and that is it for me, mr. president. thank you. >> president chiu: supervisor campos. >> supervisor campos: thank you. i want to first of all thank all my colleagues for all their comments today. it has been, i think for me, as a member of this board, great to see the level of the -- the substantive level of discussion here, and the fact is that we, as a body, could have differences of opinion but i think that whatever happens here has been enriched by the substance of the discussion. and with respect to the amendments, i want to associate myself with the comment that supervisor cohen, who i think put it extremely well. i appreciate the intent of the first two of the amendments that were presented by supervisor chu and farrell with respect to pages 5 and 16, but i will be voting against those two amendments for the reasons that mr. harrington outlined, out of deference to him, and in their estimation their ability to make sure that this program is successful

around better coordination, whether it's of opportunities to network and to exposure, or between funding programs and agencies and stakeholders, and then also just around setting up standards around expectations and what is what the deliverables are. i feel dcyf are going to talk about some of their programs. but what does it look like for a service provider that's offering support around academic -- addressing the achievement gap, whether that's a check-in attendance. if it is an after school program, students should be going to school and coming to that program after. if they are not doing that, then there is no connection. or, you know, what does it look like in terms of number of minutes spent reading or time doing things that support that effort. and with that i actually submit to you just a device that we are actually using to work with san francisco unified around the programs that we've done during the summer. and whether we are tracking where folks know in the school district ho numbers, whether we can actually look at the students that are in after school programs and what that impact i

program. and as i mentioned these amounts are subject to the resolution of issues between cal tran ctc and the mtos. one impact might likely be to the one bay area grant program since these are the funding programs that are assumed to be backing the program so that the region might need to adjust or augment some of the funds over the 4-year $48 million cycle for san francisco. >> for the chair, you just mentioned that pedestrian safety and safe routes to schools program are no longer federally funded so we are going to have to look at mtc and other sources for funding that might be state level funding for those critical pedestrian an safety or school safety programs. they are no longer funded as stand alone programs. they are now funded under this larger umbrella that funded at a 30 percent reduced level when you look at the three programs combined. now they have to compete with each other, essentially, for a limited amount of funding. okay. and then on the transit formula side you will notice an anticipated increase to the transit formula funds to the transit operators in the bay area, this d

but as some fear a moment of truth is fast approaching over iran's nuclear program, the relationship betweensident obama and the israeli leader is also very pivotal. so far, the white house has not scheduled a meeting with mr. netanyahu. should one happen? joining me to discuss this and more, dan gillerman, former israeli ambassador to the u.n. and a fox news contributor. i want to get to the question, the united states has stopped 20 iran officials from attending the u.n. general assembly, at the same time iranian president ahmadinejad, who has been a regular, will give his final speech on wednesday. what concerns do you have over what might be said during this that speech before the u.n. general assembly? >> well, first of all, i salute the american decision to bar 20 members of the iranian delegation from entering the united states. but i think the one person who really should be barred from entering the united states or any civilized country for that matter, is president ahmadinejad. this is a person who publicly calls for wiping another member of the u.n. off the face of the map, who op
