let's move on to sandy from new american media. how have these problems facing the mainstream set affected the ethnic media community and the jobs for ethnic journalists? >> ethnic media has been tremendously affected by the drop in advertising. it is embedded in the audience that service. -- that it serves. as mainstream media went into retreat, it had to expand. more people are looking to it for information and news. the audience has grown by 16% over the past five years. it is in the same situation of having to do more with less. the remarkable fact, i think that journalists and news is about what can access. to access to each other. something that gives us a sense of where we are in society. debbiwe in the media had a veryd time keeping up with the changes in society. how you keep up with the changes of san francisco if you are just one outlet. if a woman that lives in an alley starts off of the city lights in columbus, 91 years old, her building is sold into a tenant conversion into will be evicted after six years and her 48-y

sandy, what would you like to say about -- maybe i should ask one of the professors. our people caller coming into journalism as frequently as you would like to see? >> we do a census every year, the association of news editors , and pretty much what they have found is that the numbers of minorities is still flat. even with a large exodus of people out of the business, there has not been much growth, about 12%. by no means is that there and i think even in my own experiences in this room, it can be very difficult to change the culture of thinking about stories that involve minorities. >> jeanne? did you want to add anything? >> there is a study put out every year by ball state university from the news directors association. the 2009 numbers for minorities in the news were much more encouraging for television than they were in radio. so, we are seeing more people of color in television, for sure. we are seeing more people in television and radio. what we are not seeing is those people of color taking managerial, decisionmaking positions. the policy of a station reflect

madeleine albright and sandy and i were just talking about being worried to preserve the development budget that we have. that is an irony of democratic politics. if you took a poll in u.s. the american people, and it has not changed in 30 years, how much of our budget we should spend on development assistance, they would say between 3% and 5%, no more. how much do you think it will spin? 10%, 15%, too much. what is the fact? we spend 1% or less. no matter how many times we say it, it does not register. so even though every member of the united states congress knows that they can safely vote for the assistant budget, they know that they will never be defeated for voting against one. for all of you who are

my name is sandy denuto. i am a disabled person. i am limited in the buildings i can live in because there is no elevator access. i am happy they are taking into consideration ada regulations and that i would not be excluded from being able to enjoy the roof access the other tenants would because i am not able to use steps anymore. an elevator is becoming more and more important to a lot of san francisco residents as we age. it is not possible to get up four flights of stairs without having an elevator. i think that is a great idea. president olague: thank you. >> my name is kieran buckley. i am here to support the project. do we have an overhead? if you look at this project, it is well in keeping with the neighborhood. this is the subject property here. this is the -- four consecutive buildings on the uphill side of lombard street have a roof decks and enable their residents to have the use of the bay and the golden gate bridge. neighbors have called the proposed structure too tall. it has too many elevators. i think it is a good i

they sent me thousands of documents not only of my great great great grandfather sandy but of all the war. and they all double triple confirmed each other. and i was just amazed at my family legacy beginning with a man who purchased my great great great-grandfather, and that is amazing to see the origin of a name you've had all of your life and to learn that it was through a purchase of a human being. >> and now you know what that name means. and you come from great stuff. you had a war hero that far back. >> absolutely. >> that's incredible. >> yeah. >> you actually liken it to your father, as well, who passed away at the age of 33. you were very young. he died young, not knowing this history. >> and the thing is, rob, he fought during vietnam, walked up to an enlistment station, 1961, almost 100 years after sandy, and had no idea of the road that had been blazed for him. and that's part of the reason why it's so good to research your history and to know who blazed the trail for you. you don't have to live in darkness anymore. much of the information about our families, even slave le

i agree with everything that sandy said. i think it is unfortunate that we don't have a very clear process in place. this has worked out fine for the last several times because we have had a handful of candidates. but our outreach is not at as high a standard as i think we should have in terms of bringing in candidates that could represent the school district. i do feel like we don't have a vetting process. this is done during an open meeting, which is fine, but there is probably a point where we get 10, 15 or 20 candidates, and instead of hearing all of them, there is a process where by we vet and so who the most qualified are. we did not have a discussion about any of the other high caliber candidates, which i thought was surprising, because we did have so many people that were very qualified for this position but didn't really talk about you who they would represent us, and who would be the best to represent us. i think catalina will absolutely be a great representative for us. in terms of the other appointments made on t
