this is sponsored by wiener and yee and secondly supervisor breed introduced a planning committee, andhis would amend section 703 to expand the formula retail uses but it will pertain to the neighborhood transit commission. so that ordinance is a planning code and we'll plan to schedule that one before this committee within 90 days. that concludes my point. >> thank you. >> yeah, on that last item, haze valley, i think haze valley has a band on formula retailers. the ordinance is trying to other things called formula retail. is that's what's being -- that's correct. >> i like to know what that is. >> you'll get an opportunity to make a comment to the board. >> thank you. >> the historic reservation hearing, so no place under the general public comment. and the public may address that's within the jurisdiction. your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. i did have one speaker card. >> linda chapman. >> linda chapman, will i be able to use this. >> yes. >> just stick this on here. anyway, in our continuing conversation and i don't

secondly, i want to thank mr. jensen for his earlier offer to withdraw a proposal to rejiger

secondly they are paid back over time with institutions with more than $50 billion in assets.o congressional action is needed. they pay some of the debts and then over time he's empowered. >> congressman, i'm so sorry, we really do have to leave it there. i invite you back on many, many more times, as many as you will come on. this is obviously a continuing conversation. the three-year anniversary is this summer, we would love to have you back. thank you. >> maybe with more time. >> next time you can have the whole show. we'll have more after the break. i honestly loved smoking, and i honestly didn't think i would ever quit. [ male announcer ] along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. it reduces the urge to smoke. it put me at ease that you could smoke on the first week. [ male announcer ] some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. if you notice any of these stop taking chantix and call your doctor right away. tell you

secondly, essentially, all of medical care, and this is a little bit of an oversight, it is covered by insurance itself very what i mean is the way health insurance has evolved, it has changed the way insurance intended, which is a way to reduce risk exposure to large expenses. now health insurance aside from a small copayment for a relatively small deductible for most people, it is paid by the insurer. so you don't really care what it cost. because someone else is paying. of course, you are paying in the end, but it's a very complicated process. so the biggest barrier is that there is no incentive to even look at the cost. when something is free, with we think that we should consume as much of it as we want because i'm not paying work. so that is the number one very and barrier. the second is the government created health insurance coverages themselves. as we know, the united states controls health insurance. so it's kind of two segments to that. the first is that you are not allowed to buy insurance outside of the state in which you live. this is, of course, nonsensical and doesn't r

and secondly to manage our budget in a fiscal and responsible manner. and lastly having a budget that reflects the priorities of all san franciscans, there are so many things needed in our neighborhoods and communities. and we want to address that in the budget. thank you for being here, and i want to be this night is about hearing you. i will turn it over to supervisor cohen. >> good evening, everyone, it's good to see you. the number one thing we need to keep in mind here, that the budget is one of the most single pieces of legislation that the board of supervisors pass. our budget is $7.4 million -- excuse me, billion -- that's what i said, billion, people. clean out your ears. i would never short change san francisco and say million [laughter] so you know what, i want to thank you for having such a healthy turn-out. this audience looks look and we have a good moderator. thank you for leading this discussion. last year we made significant investments in public safety back-filling investments that were previously made by the redevelopment agency, econ

secondly, i don't think any proponents, even you two, talking about a flat tax mean a real flat tax. you want to reduce income tax rates for the wealthy. >> no. >> you don't want to tax all income. i'm talking. let me finish. what about a flat tax that taxes all income the same? >> okay. >> inheritance, earned income, earned income, the social security tax, medicare tax. >> i'm in. >> i think we're hearing it from both gary b. and toby, but gary b., it's so unlikely anything like that could get passed, could it? they don't have the political courage to do this. >> well, yes. unfortunately i think you're right. it's exactly going to the point that jonas is making. jonas was talking about not a flat tax. he was talking about a simplified tax. oh, but you'd still have the mortgage deduction. you know he why you have the mortgage deduction? because the whole real estate industry would be lobbying in there because they know if that goes away, they think th, you know, home sales would go down. wh i would love is what steve said, though. get rid of the mortgage deduction. the government sho

but secondly because the strong program of exercise we conducted. the exercises were not only conducted on military scenarios, but we had an extensive set of exercises involved in humanitarian response. during the time i was secretary, we had a disaster response very similar to the one they're doing here in san francisco today. we bought naval forces from the united states, from russia and japan all to honolulu where we had simulated a tsunami disaster. and these three great nations brought their fleets to honolulu exercising how to respond and alleviate that disaster. well, that was then. how about now? last year the united states released a new security strategy. most of you probably have not even heard of that, but i have to tell you this was a big deal. it was one of the fifth american security strategies that we have issued since the civil war. among the highlights of that security strategy was a strong statement that the united economic and security interests in the asia pacific region. not in europe as has been for 100 years prior to that, th

secondly, they are certain systemic problems within our system. for example, it has not been decided whether it should be responsible for the education of the central role in that. these are issues which i think basically really to government and perhaps things will improve. >> last two questions. ms. grossman and the mental. i'm sorry that i could take all the other spirit go ahead. >> thank you. as the song? i want to follow-up and ambassador pickering's question about rapprochement with india, and in particular, look at nuclear weapons and possible stability measures, confidence building measures that pakistan has been interested in pursuing for quite some time. my curiosity here is where you think nawar sharif is right now on these questions, nuclear stability and what really anticipate the pakistan military might take in that kind of effort. thanks. >> stability in the region. >> the site and is an issue, which nawar sharif himself is not going to address. there have been, as you know, a set of confidence building measures. a couple of those

first of all adult flies wouldn't that be an international effort secondly it wasn't to get it would not have been intended to get rid of the leader it would have been intended to protect the syrian population seventy thousand of whom are now dead we don't know how many are wounded and maimed and twenty five percent of the country's displaced or internally or are refugees so it would no fly zone would have stopped the violence and i believe there white have been a chance for negotiation yes i know that russia and i know all of the russian policy makers on the middle east they are absolutely allergic upset and worried that the u.s. will again take use nato as an instrument in syria and this is i think the main reason for russia's reluctance to work positively the end this conflict because of the libyan experience what russia has been for now i'd like to point out. russia has the. magic solution for two years the only major country for him to go right now how why don't they see it now saying negotiation to go all the way back to geneva last year best example go ahead flynt yeah you kno

secondly there are provisions around the topic of ownership and allow existing owners who have applied for the process transfer the units without using eligibility for conversions which we heard from owners. the third set of amendments around expedited conversion to make sure we're dealing with the full universe of folks currently in the lottery or have been in tic's. one portion would extend the process for a seventh year and right now it's six and we would add one more year and add those ownered in that period listed or under contract but not yet closed escrow. there are provisions to allow the most senior pool of the lottery to convert without further conditions. the fourth set of amendments have to do with a current requirement of 10 year hold on conversions and it would establish a process for buildings that have completed the legislation that has a 10 year hold on conversions to convert to condominium through the expedited process or the lottery. fifth set concerns lifetime leases and the language simplifies the requirements for owners to comply with these provisions. sixth set o

two major problems with iran which are quite urgent the obviously the iranian nuclear program and secondly iran's assistance to the brutality in syria that is being perpetuated by the syrian regime in order to get iraq as cooperation is flowing to say we need to accept the islamic republic of iran we need to recognize that we don't like that that iran too like any sovereign state has legitimate security concerns and we need what we negotiate with the iranians be it in the group of six or face to face or in directly or through the swiss we need to make it very clear that there's a package on the table that incremental steps will result in the incremental removing of saying shin's and. capacity to be part of the international community ok so flynt around has to be a good boy and everything will be fine. i think that is very much an agenda you know on both of the. fair fair and i think on both of the issues that judith raise though if you look at the american position on the nuclear issue the nuclear issue could be solved diplomatically in a matter of weeks if the united states would recogniz

secondly nobody can do anything for 30 days after that material has been put on website, so the public can review and given an avenue to comment on those -- on whatever is on those documented and whether the public feels that cpmc has demonstrated compliance or not and it requires a city report which is basically the planning director and the health director in corporation with work force and mta primarily to the city reports back on whether cpmc is in compliance and evaluates the compliance report. that was required. what this does is make sure that city report covers a list of issues that you have in front of you that are the kind of key issues. so it requires that report to be complete and then the next thing that is different from what's in the current section is there was an optional hearing basically where you and or the health commission could hear compliance every year, and it's mandatory so the director of planning must bring this to you every year, it must bring it to the health commissioner every year and there is the last piece is it establishes a third party monitoring who

secondly, if we were to say this was a manufactured scandal doug chuman orchestrated this in order toce a republican agenda he doesn't appear to be political. he was appointed by a republican 39 and donated to democrats. we know that from his open records. cenk: i don't think anybody is saying that chuman manufactured this. the if if he if ifthey are all targeted by different branches of the government and you don't hear anything about it. it's normal. whenever there's any issue whether large or slight, fox news goes insane over it. then c.n.n. feels like if fox news is going in sane, this must be something to it and then the ball is rolling. that's how it gets manufactured. joe, i want to ask you look, what no with a said is right they looked into these groups and asked totally inappropriate questions, a pro life group whether they planned to protest planned parenthood. why are you asking that? the people asking those questions, should they be fired? >> i think they should be fired at least of the supervisors who allowed those questions to be asked and prompted, i think they should f

secondly, are they concerned of retaliation from syria or hezbollah? >> certain lip the israelis have not come out publicly or officially. all they have said concerning these strikes inside syria, we're talking about two in the last four day, and three overall this year. the israelis not confirming or denying that they were involved in any way. what we have been hearing time and again though from israeli officials is that they will not -- they will do whatever is necessary to keep conventional weapons that are very dangerous or weapons mass destruction such as chemical weapons which syria is known to have large stockpiles of from going into the hands of groups such as hezbollah which they consider a terrorist organization. that group obviously over in lebanon across the border. the reason i'm standing in haifa is because there's clearly a concern. israel has said, look, the winds of war are not blowing. but that came from a major general told, who is in charge of this northern command. but that they are taking precautions. and what they've done is put

secondly, she has a minimum loss ratio. and when you look at the minimum loss ratio, you have sometimes limited or excluded cheaper coverage under the so-called high deductible health care plan. it is not only cheaper, but they are more desired, the most popular toys over the past five years. the increase in that choice of employer-sponsored health insurance. why is this? because they are cheaper, you get to take money that is against the high deductible, put it into a deductible and it really is associated with a wellness program and other screenings and test that people actually want and encouraged for healthy living. so these things are limited by these minimal lawsuits. the most important thing that will make these exchanges not function, it is the idea that health insurers, no matter what proves the condition that you have, you will not be able to get the insurance. and if we eliminate the waiting time, the waiting period, you would have to -- you would be able to buy insurance if you just waited with no problem. it ma

do not solve the problem of terrorism even terrorism directed against us secondly they they make pakistan more unstable and we want a stable pakistan so i mean not to be too simplistic but do you think if pakistan could put a stronger government in power then the u.s. would not use drones is that a fair assessment a strong legitimate pakistani government would not tolerate drones but also we would not need to use drones it's a chicken and egg situation but. i would say the united states should have a much less visible presence not only in pakistan but throughout the middle east we should go back to traditional diplomacy. you know close private in gauge went through embassies but. the idea that the u.s. military can be effective cost effective diplomats in the region has proved to be wrong. one time i bet a is another contentious issue do you think that president obama will close that well he promised to close it he tried to close it congress would not let him close it. there is this psychosis about terrorism that terrorists are intrinsically evil people who sort of contagious like lepers

secondly, we need close coordination when it comes to development of capabilities. and that leads me to answer the questions about smart deference and pooling and sharing that several of you mentioned. you mentioned, as smart defense pooling -- also mentioned that. we have ensure that we do not pursue parallel programs, but actually compliment each other and ensure efficient use of taxpayer's money. no unproductive competition no dop indication of work. i could mention an excellent example how we have im-- embarked on what i would call a productive division of labor. at the chicago summit last year, european nato allies committed themselves to develop capacity within air-to-air refueling. overall, we have a lot of capacity within nato when comes to air-to-air refueling. we are dependent on u.s. capabilities. what we need is a european investment in that capability. so european allies knead commitment in chicago, and that's an excellent example how we can -- no reason for nato embark on that. .. and those meetings take place with io at 26, that is about participation

i think we -- behavior but secondly we need to look at what can we ask for as female consumers.e may get 86% of the marketing and purchasing decisions.ec and let's make a decision of the type of programming we're looking for, the type of shirtsi that are not gender biased with messages and really ensuringurin that we're using our purr case - purchasing power to really put t out there a more realistic view of women. >> i think you are wonderful! >> thank you. >> thank you for being with us today. she's the director of campus leadership programs with aauw. see you next time. >> thank you very much. it's 9:21 now. easier travel in the district as street cars get ready for a comeback. wisdom? >> in the district we're another step closer to having the street cars rolling through for the first time in 0 years. we'll tell you about -- 50 years. we'll tell you about it in a live report. >> we're on the course at greatt meadow in mclean, virginia where they are set for the virginiairi gold cup. you can actually bet on the races. we'll do the draw for the race live right here on fox 5. >>

and secondly, greater than the founding fathers? greater than the civil war generation?re's a relative order of merit, i suppose. i think that acknowledging what they did and acknowledging that they all have enormous feet of clay and they all have festistitudes and affirmities, as we all do, and yet as a whole, they managed to overcome those to do what needs to be done in world war ii, that's extraordinary. and as they're dying, of that 16 million in uniform, there's 1.2 million still alive. they're dying at 800 a day now. it's about a battalion a day swept away. all the more reason for us to acknowledge them and remember them and to cherish them. >> final point, a contemporary point, and that is this investigation that's under way in the obama administration about their leak investigations and targeting of the "ap" with a pretty wide-ranging phone-tap order. you talk about censorship on the basis of national security in world war ii, and we're having this debate now about how to protect national security and square that with reporting these kinds of things. how did you

and secondly it would be dark in a disaster for our buildings so we've been funded to secure generates to be permanent to maintain buildings in those 2-e ocs i'm happy about that >> good work. i was going to mention that the dp m has partnered to put on a one-day disaster conference on july 23rd. the invitations went out this week seating is limited. any other unanimously? any public comment? okay hearing n this meeting is adjourned. thank you all so much for g the meeting the board of education of the school district is now called to order. role please. (calling names) thank you. please join me in the pledge of allegiance

and those are three essentially, one fiscal, the public finances, secondly, somewhat related and i'll bring out the relationship in a little while energy. everyone talks about energy. the energy sick or the. and the third is external balances. the fact the cub tri is using reserves and people talk about imminent default not likely but people talk about this. let me talk about the first issue that has to be addressed. the fiscal problems have continued to grow in pakistan over the past few years. thund government the budget deficit this year was expected g.d.p. .7% of it was expected to be that last ear and the year before. the budget deficit is going to turn out to be around 9% of g.d.p. so virtually twice what they predicted. bad enough that the fiscal deficit is so large, the worst still is how it's being financed. it's being financed by borrowing from the banks. what there is in the central bank law, the central bank itself cannot finances the government beyond a quarter. at the end of every quarter it has to have a zero balance. so what the central bank was innovative in doing was

and secondly, i don't care christie killed a bug with his hand.f you watch the video he doses that and then -- he does that and then sticks it in his pocket. what else is in there? >> he comes home from work and you know how your dad used to put change on the dresser? he pulls out thousands of dead spiders and he goes like this. mrs. christie is going why are you doing that? i don't know. i have thousands of spiders in my pocket, and i can't stop. >> we all have our cross to bare. here is my thing, nick, what about bacteria? what about viruses? we have viruses in our bodies that are -- that we try to kill with antibiotics. also anti-viral medications. isn't that evil and wrong if you go to the next step from spiders and insects wouldn't it make sense that you should not go after like living organisms 1234*. >> who told them about the claw midyaw story? we were supposed to say it in the green room. thank you. no comment. >> i thought i was making a good point. seriously that's where it would end up jie. where does biewdism stop though? there is a b

and secondly it would be dark in a disaster for our buildings so we've been funded to secure generates to be permanent to maintain buildings in those 2-e ocs i'm happy about that >> good work. i was going to mention that the dp m has partnered to put on a one-day disaster conference on july 23rd. the invitations went out this week seating is limited. any other unanimously? any public comment? okay hearing none this meeting is adjourned. thank you all so much for >> hello, my name is jamie harper. in this episode, we are featuring the park locations in your very own backyard. this is your chance to find your heart in san francisco with someone special. golden gate park's largest body of water is this lake, a popular spot for strolling and paddling around in boats, which can be rented. created in 1893, it was designed foreboding and -- for boating. it is named for the wild strawberries that once flores. a pleasant trail follows the perimeter past huntington falls, 110 foot waterfall. two bridges connect the trail to the island. the climb to the hills summit, the highest point in golden g

secondly there's a lack of enforcement. only for the city attorney may sue the only real enforcement that's available to you is trust equity. that's ownership of the land. the other entitlements maybe the agreement of consider for the city that would produce the rate and the urban development krorms. it's done in new york city. those are 3 aspects we submit those in detail they're not a part of your records. i have substantial background as planning director >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please >> hi i'm linda i have been at st. luke's hospital and on frontline of health care there. i see there are many needs in our community that are not being met presently. it concerns me. i agree with everyone there needs forbid a collaborative agreement and it's important we have a say of what kind of care we're going to provide at st. luke's. we have a lot of psych patients coming in and we see them come and go with basically, no services after they leave us. but there's also a certain about some sub acute are

and secondly it would be dark in a disaster for our buildings so we've been funded to secure generates to be permanent to maintain buildings in those 2-e ocs i'm happy about that >> good work. i was going to mention that the dp m has partnered to put on a one-day disaster conference on july 23rd. the invitations went out this week seating is limited. any other unanimously? any public comment? okay hearing none this meeting is adjourned. thank you all so much for >> there are kids and families ever were. it is really an extraordinary playground. it has got a little something for everyone. it is aesthetically billion. it is completely accessible. you can see how excited people are for this playground. it is very special. >> on opening day in the brand- new helen diller playground at north park, children can be seen swinging, gliding, swinging, exploring, digging, hanging, jumping, and even making drumming sounds. this major renovation was possible with the generous donation of more than $1.5 million from the mercer fund in honor of san francisco bay area philanthropist helen diller. toge
