on so i hope we can work together with that in the future. >> any questions? yes? het her bring the mike phone to you. >> why -- when you were talking about the cans and the bpa exposures, why did you just address beans? i'm assuming you mean any food or liquid in all cans? >> yes, it's all of them and i didn't mean to just address beans, that's why the recommendation is frozen or fresh vegetables, for instance, frozen and fresh fruits, we did a bunch of product testing and looked at also past product testing to see where are the highest levels of bpa in canned foods and it looks like they end up the most in kind of very complex foods like soup or, you know, the pasta dishes that i grew up in that came out of cans, those kinds of things that are salty and maybe also acidic and maybe also really fatty seemed to like suck the stuff up, so the highest levels were in those followed by i believe vegetables, my memory's a little rusty, especially if you're trying to pour your whole meal out of a can, that may be especially problem mat -- problematic, getting your th

so in the southeast /erpbl corner this is one of the more wild areas so we're just working with ideas of creating vegetation /thag will be sustainable in this environment. the grand staircase leads you up to the /srepbl ewe plaza and the arena on the right. before i talk a bit about scale, it's interesting to note that because of the need to break down these spaces and to provide a variety of experiences, we're working things around reds where we're identifying locations where the surface could be wood so it's [inaudible] would also be more [inaudible]. we're working with spaces on the left hand side of the stairs like a palm grove that you could walk up through. on the the right hand side of the stairs, there are places for performances, but some retention areas. we need to break up some of the venue plaza spaces which is at the top of the im/papblg /-fpt just so you get an idea of the scale of this space, this is /kwraoupbl you know square here on the left, which is about 1.4 acres and you can fit two of those just in this location on our project. that doesn't include any of the pla

, so pleased and so, so privileged to be able to celebrate this very special occasion and we look forward to being a part of this month. thank you, claudine. >> thank you. this is my pleasure to be here this afternoon. to share with you tho celebrating diversity and cultural celebrations is a key value, at wells fargo. and we celebrated not just in this month but every month. and it is the true, people that contribute that are the contributers or the finalists that are going to be honored in the area of arts that we want to acknowledge every day of the year. they go every noticed and thes just a wonderful opportunity to renew the support of the foundation and celebrate the achievements that sometimes go unnoticed and so i hope that we are all here together as a family, to really celebrate what they have to offer. and we can support them in any way that we can going forward. thank you. [ applause ] >> so this product, the program i want to make sure that it is important that fat they are as we know him, he is the grandfather always has the last word. the founder of the organization and we

high in price for so low return never have investors stoop so low for so much risk never to have so many investors then who would winkled into such a crappy trade and then the bugs are a little defraud so many. wow and my churchill impressionism work i think but the point is that bill gross search. his cigar maybe a bowl or a big bottle of whiskey and a dog. however the point is bill gross that this is. a com era allusion with an enigma puzzle remember the enigma puzzle solving machine from world war two they had to solve the puzzle but they let the attack happen anyway the original false flag or one of the original false flags of that era because they needed to pop the germans if they knew that the unit machine and solve all the puzzle similarly bill gross solve the puzzle he's saying look bond markets ready to crash but we don't want to tell the stupid fish over there in the u.s. like paul krugman who is like the official propagandist you know world war two germany hitler they made that famous film triumph of the will to propagandize their message same thing of proper argument he'

so this is not a but, but an and. so i see this as where we are. it's growth. it's the expansion of this work so that our cbo's and all of our grass roots organizations don't have to work as hard to convince people that this is an investment that needs to be made. so i am very much on the side of going out broadly so that when we do go to the ballot, you know, we've all set through many a campaign rocking ourselves in the corner hoping we are going to get the 66 percent or 67 percent that we need in order to get parcel taxes and what have you. i feel really confident that the approach that we're taking is so much more thoughtful around all the things that we want to do for children across the city and how we can leverage everything that we've already put into it and how we can grow this and so i think, you know, we're going to need our, all of our organizations and all of our parents and all of our neighborhood associations and we certainly want to get business to think about this very differently. so we want them to be a part of this conversation also. and aga

so you have to frame the issue that way. when you're talking to businesses- and you have to talk to them about assessing the students, you have to talk to them about providing continuity of support or- yeah, but i think you first have to get their attention on the issue, and i think people don't necessary connect the dots that when you have untreated addiction and mental health problems that that lead to problems in their systems or into their-their realm. when you're talking to the business community, you've got to talk about dollars and cents. we know that there's a huge cost to businesses in terms of absenteeism and presenteeism where people show up and they're just not productive. so i think we have to frame the messages based on the audience, and, unfortunately, because of the prevalence of-of behavioral health conditions, these conditions impact every aspect of society. there's no part of society, there's no tier of society, or no part of society that's not affected. i think we have to just make sure that people see th

use look so good and glamorous. that's a bad message in there. we-we need to send the truth to these people as well, so like i said earlier, if we help the ones that need it, that right there will be a back draft to help the other ones, and then you'll get greater awareness and, you know, you deal with one problem, opens a door to dealing with the next one. there's a batting order for this, i think. and fran, we're really talking about-as we look at what john mentioned in terms of social marketing in the context of new media, twitter, facebook, on and on and on, youtube-are we going to reach-for prevention, for example. are we going to reach, you know, the families, the youth, but who else beyond them do we have to reach? we look at it in the field of prevention because you need both prevention treatment and recovery services to be able to bring all of this information and change if you're going to-if we're going to succeed in changing the country's messaging and behaviors around substance abuse and mental health di

they /ao*r realizing the views are really great, but the piers are so large and the spaces are so large, that when you're standing along the edge, you don't see any water. the only horizon you see is a vast expanse of asphalt or piers. similarly, pier 30 and 32, being approximately 14 acres is so vast, it prevents you from having any interaction from the bay or the city. it's just a large parking lot. so you see here they're yeeuating /tkeufrpbls in elevation and different ideas for programming along the edge. this gives you a better /sraouf of the downtown, gives you the better view of the water looking downtown, provides better opportunities for performances an for wedings. also you have larger icons globally, including the opera house on the right. these create these elevated spaces and platforms, which promote the activity of the surroundings, but also the /toeups of programming for the public. this is actually very similar to a view you'll see later on for our project. just thinking about programming -- of course /th-sz a sports multicultural /srepbl ewe. so we're not just thinking

so >> they did. >> so, yes, so when i outlined those four meetings that we have with the safeco, coalition, and the residents on polk street that were disturbed by the idea that all of the alternatives included some level of parking removal and went to the city manager and mta with those concerns and put the process on hold and put the workshops with them to work with them to have them develop an option similar to your question commissioner adams about what happens when a commission says we don't want any parking removal and so we worked with them to sort of draw up what that would look like, and so now four of our six alternative dos include a minimum amount of parking removal and two alternatives came from that group and the work with that group and the meetings and so those are on the table for consideration, we have 600 people coming through to hear from all sides, and as you can imagine, the people will jump to the positions really quickly. and but i think that we can, the status is now that we take all of that input and have the survey up and we are continuing to get the input and th

they had so much thanks so much for coming on and i thank you for having me so you've been a strong voice of opposition to this rigid kind of student evaluation and specifically in new york what made you get involved and what is the evidence show either statistically or anecdotally about the effect testing is having on students well i got involved because i have a fourth grader and nine year old to is that a school and in seeing how the tests these high stakes tests have are tied there's so much riding on these and say. in terms of promotion and graduation rates and teacher evaluation and school closings and report card grades i just felt that there was just too much tied to this one test and so my family decided that our son needed to be to refuse to take the examination because we feel that there should be other forms of measurement other forms of assessment to really learn what it is that he knows and where he needs perhaps more instruction in certain areas and i wanted to bring up this interesting aspect last month the city of d.c. found that eighteen different teachers had chea

so, what it shows in the same format are some scenarios -- >> so, we don't have that in front of us? it's on the screen. >> it's not showing well right there. >> little too old to read those screens. >> is it on your screen there? >> what's the punch line? >> the punch line? the punch line is it's less additional funding for buildout at higher rates. [speaker not understood]. >> what's the rate? >> are you looking at this? >> i can't see it. it's not -- i'm looking at -- >> oh, i'm sorry. so, for example, under the scenario 2 where you have a 10% bundled product, a 45% purchases of firmed and shaped products, and the remainder rec's, the rate is 13.53 cents. if you split the savings in order to get some reserve for buildout, and that number before you for 4-1/2 years is $12 million. >> so, maybe it would be easier we stick to the average bill impact because i think that's where, at least, i'm used to comparing everything. because you're jumping around and it gets kind of confusing. so, i guess the take away is that there are several variables that would determine the cost and you can

so does safeway. safeway sponsors one of our litter programs where they -- we pay nonprofit groups to go in the community, pick garbage for 16 weeks during the summer, and they pay those. safeway as well as many other groups pay those volunteers. so, i mean crylon, like you said, it's a huge company going to head off. you're probably not going to have the same success as somehow working with local businesses. that would be the only thing i could suggest. but it's worth a try because i think the more persistent you are -- i think a couple of them finally gave us money because rona in particular because they just didn't want to hear from me any more. [laughter] >> all right, thank you. (applause) >> i don't know why the product is still on the shelf. personally it's one of the most toxic products out there. i don't know if any of you have had ever deployed spray cans on walls and just stood there. how do you dispose of it? there are so many environmental issues it's unbelievable. and as communities, if

that was so serendipitous. you are old friends, and obviously colleagues, and you said that the united states is ready for a woman president. so, i have to ask you she is obviously the great hope of the democratic party and of many women. whether or not you would support her or any feelings you have you say that you have respect for her service as the secretary of state, whatever is wrapping her up in any current benghazi excitement on the hill. when you say this country is ready, would you as a republican set this out if she ran? >> guest: that is too far down the road to speculate battle all of that, but i think that if she wanted to run she would run. she did set an extraordinary example of how a woman can run for public office and so that is what is important. she broke down the barrier singlehandedly and is highly talented and capable and smart so if she chooses to do that i think that many women will embrace her candidacy but the country is prepared to have a woman president and i think back by virtue of

so congratulations, once again, we thank you so much for your work. you make all of us proud. >> we are still not done. and we still have a medal to present to patricia as well. [ applause ] >> i am back. all right, we have another honoree. so, once again, i would like to call up, dan, where is dan? i already talked to dan. dan? all right. so this is dan wynn, let me tell you about what dan did. so on september eleventh, at 4:57. public safety safety dispatcher received a call from a 14-year-old girl named tiane saying that she needed medical help for her mother and verified the address and her phone number and provided her with medical instructions. and stayed on the line with tanani and kept reassuring her that help was on the way. and compassionate tone helped tani remain calm and assisted her in providing assistance to her mother. unfortunately she and her family were unable to join us today but we do have this fine public servant representing the good work of the city that we are going to celebrate and we are going to take a moment again to hear

so and so? he's, like, i just never, the trust was so burnt that he wasn't willing it even try again. so i just -- more anecdotes. >> that's really helpful. ros, one of the things we talked about before we came up here, kids think this is all a joke until they get more information and a lot of parents think this is a joke too and maybe some parents are coddling their children. >> as i do the work around the country that i do, i am concerned about how bullying is being politicized and that it's therefore losing its power, that we really are in this incredible place of opportunity where a lot of people are galvanized, here we are in this room. but we're right at this place where i think you get coopted into nothingness very easily. and the way in which that comes across is in, where people say to me, well, people are going to get into fights, people are going to get into conflict, teachers are now saying to me, not every conflict is bullying and the policy is every single concept is bullying and i

so few of them and they control so much of the market they. can really look at what they anticipate the price for the crops will be in the fall and they'll jack up their seed prices to match any increase that might happen with the increase of the farmers going to get for that corn so those two numbers track really closely together and they you can do that kind of manipulation when you have a big chunk of the market in your control. while also wanting to take a second to talk about what we've dubbed the monsanto protection act that was signed into law in march and there's a provision that allows monsanto to sell genetically engineered seeds even if the court has blocked them from doing so and now we have a clip from jeffrey smith who is the author of seeds of deception here's what he had to say about this. measure tells you that they are mandatory that they are required to go ahead and allow farmers to and wave their fingers sort of. at the courts so we actually dismembers the normal balances of power and balances between the courts and the exe

and so.

you hear stories, so and so locked so and so out of a command post in such and such city. so and so argued about who got what raise last year. here, a little bit different. here, medical resources and law enforcement are owned by the governor which, as established, comes from the turkish government. fire fighters and things like public works are owned by the municipality. let me tell you about budget discrepancies. the fire department, i got to tell you, when i went and i met with the fire chief, that one left a mark. their fire department was red tagged but they didn't have a place because it was so cold to house their engines because you can't leave diesel engines out in the cold, just doesn't work too well, so they still had to use the facility but they housed the personnel in two tents out in front. their headquarters is one tent and their dorm is another tent and they welcomed us in there, didn't even think twice. and in the story of what it was like there, for a community of nearly 700,000 people, their complete complement of fire fighters that were on duty, their pr

so, thank you all for being here. (applause) >> and now kate howard, our city's budget director is going to give her overview. thank you. >> good morning, everybody, i'm kate howard, the mayor's assistant director. thank you for being here this morning. i wanted before i started just to quickly identify the departments that are here this morning so that you know who is here listening to you. so, we have the mayor's office on disability, the fire department, the department of public works, the mta, the recreation and park department, the health department, the city administrator's office, and the department of technology, the controller's office, our supervisors and mayor, dbi, the human services agency, the department of aging and adult services, the mayor's office of housing, san francisco police department, the department of emergency management, the san francisco housing authority, and the department of economic and work force development. so, we have a lot of folks here to listen to your ideas and concerns. and al

so they are doing both. of our narrative is about how women can't and shouldn't do both, and that's just unfair to women. >> so at the point at which a woman has made a decision to have a child, she's now confronted by the reality of this very limited amount of time off which i've always thought is way too short. i think you would agree compared to certainly western europe is a real problem. these women are forced to come back to work with all these, you know, tremendous challenges, staying up all night and showing up at work. and you talk about in the book how eventually the solution is to give up sleep. [laughter] and -- >> it's a bad solution. >> clearly, a bad solution. and furthermore, you sort of give advice about life in this. and this is sort of another one of these sort of core messages, i think, that the way you would argue and perhaps you're projecting your list-making self, that it worked when the kids didn't exist, but now have to accept, you know, you quote nora ephron who says embrace the mess

>> if you could go to the next section so

>> yes, i believe so. i mean, that certainly there are things that could be done on the ground floor but to have it be spaced that is habitable and not a separate dwelling unit that is considered the dwelling unit under the planning code. commissioners, the matter is submitted. >> >> one last question, mr. sanchez. this district is predominantly rh 2? >> and so when you go to the south the 29th

the sums are theirs could be so of the money that they're so large that they are indicted to. nobody can be indicted for removing twenty six billion dollars from fraud so how are the funds really being used well social security started as a pay as you go system meaning payments going into the fund and benefits roughly going out were about equal but in one thousand nine hundred eighty benefits started to outpace tax revenues and social security was in the red so then president ronald reagan appointed none other alan greenspan to overhaul the system greenspan's commission decided to increase taxes to cover the increasing costs of the retiring baby boomers as these funds are to accumulate they were by law invested into what's called a special issue us treasury bond special issue meaning they can be redeemed at any time at face value now a common misconception is that since the taxes have been invested in t. wants the social security trust fund doesn't actually have any cas cash assets in it so what did the government do with all that cash well i've got news for you the government

so women statistics have changed because women have only entered the workforce relatively recently so for women a larger proportion of the growth in the realm of disability because more women have been in the workforce because more women have been in the work force more women have been paying the social security taxes and therefore have been eligible for disability insurance if you're not working you aren't eligible for the disability insurance but we have here a graph from the social security administration office of the actuary that shows the correlation between the unemployment rate and applications submitted for disability how has the fate of the economy affected the program. was you see from the chart it's pretty self-explanatory every time the unemployment rate goes up every time we have a recession there's a huge spike in applications for disability insurance or disability benefits and so what does that tell you it tells you that a lot of this isn't actually people who are physically disabled it's people who can't find work and are looking for an alternative source of income an

so it was pretty neat political work. so i like to read about the process. i like to study history. i seem to learn better in history. .. >> bassists u-haul. john guntzelman, the author. >> thank you for being here. >> get something to eat. [inaudible] >> certainly, absolutely. i prefer to use a sharpie because my handwriting is atrocious and this takes the edge off. who would you like -- >> taylor, it's me. i'm just a history about. [inaudible conversations] thank you so much. enjoy the book. john, this is david powell. >> good to meet you. good to meet you. >> it was a long time. [inaudible conversations] >> well, to some extent, but not really. it's more taking time to do it. it's just something you can't rash. inserted the different times. i started on the simpler one to the more complicated one. >> how did you do at? [inaudible conversations] >> well, it essentially was -- absolutely. getting more technical than i will later deceive me, i had to generate the motion picture phone. if you're familiar with that sort of stuff. sometimes it generated after the blue screen or the gre

there are so many ways.but so much of it can start with how you communicate in your home, how you open yourself up to understanding what the political current is, what the political moment is and the way that you can be engaged is huge in and of itself. >> bill moyers: rachel laforest and madeline janis, thank you very much for being with me. i've really enjoyed this conversation. >> madeline janis: thank you so much. >> rachel laforest: thank you for having us. >> bill moyers: at our website, billmoyers.com, rachel laforest and madeline janis tell us how their life stories led them to the fight for equality and democracy. so do three of marshall ganz's students at harvard and a chorus of others. we invite you to add your voice to the mix. it's all at billmoyers.com. i'll see you there and i'll see you here, next time. >>> don't wait a week to get more "moyers." visit billmoyers.com for exclusive essays and video features. this episode is available on dvd for 19.95. >> announcer: funding is provided by -- ca

so we walk them through that. so we have each of the state and federal government offices that they would need to engage in and of course our local offices as well. we start off by -- especially for many businesses that we see they want to open a brick and mortar business, so everything starts with planning. what you can, what you can't do, and also determines the cost, so we have that conversation. where do they want to be? where do they want to open up their business? in certain areas of the city to open up a kof a is permitted as a right and in certain areas it's a conditional use and a conditional use process could be up to four to six months and additional timing to get your business open, and approximately additional $4,000. then for businesses that are corporations or llc's they need to form -- they need to do a business formation and that is registering with the state. sole proprietary tors do not need to do that but they need to get a registration with the city and county of san francisco and then the irs

so, that's what we've got right here. >> so, this neighborhood support center, this doesn't look to beajor city sponsored fully stocked space. it can be a small commercial space, even somebody's garage as long as they have the information, a guide of information, who to call for what, communications equipment, some power, have a generator. >> that's right. >> thinking of lights and charge your cell phones and so on. and probably be operated by volunteers. >> volunteers, maybe members of nert could help out, people who live in the neighborhood that have some building skill could be helpful. so, if there is a structural engineer living nearby or even an architect, they could really help people kind of understand what has happened to their homes and what sort of repairs might be needed. >> here we are with some of the inthatyou might find in a neighborhood support center. one thing we learned from hurricane katrina, people really rely on their portable electronics and their phone. we say here's a charging station tied up to the generation. the essential coffeepot. >> yes. >> maybe a compu

of stock exchange yeah america the american goes down so any percent so it's all the others are huge and some big changes happening story chip bank came out with a report last week so that the fundamental economics in phone call which is what we're used to is changing as demand is changing china has said that it's going to max it's going to reach a peak of coal use and that's going to head down into renewable energy trajectory so all the assumptions that these strains have about exporting call to china all the indonesians are going to be wrong ok so you want to name him a company that's all exposed in this way the maximum exposure there is in this one who are the most exposed record is very poor you guys we have a lot of time energy where is the major for you. ok well what is the. best work but if i can repeat i know this trade that description i used the product of tonight look give me the name of the company what you can call in australia since the research came out citibank's research came out and said that those companies are the people on top of us avoid and therefore less resil

or cash flow so now we're in a market where as you point out p. e. v. e. standing for earnings is highly questionable why is that well you know it goes back to the big four accounting firms who supply the market with the data on the. that determines p. e. and they've been involved in as many scandals as the banks as the hedge funds as the government those big four accounting firms so no surprise that people are wondering what the ease stands for well is being supplied by the four remaining oligarch blustering kleptocrats who were involved in the scandals leading up to this nightmare to begin with the citi group in chile intact had looked at the earnings seem to have no relevance whatsoever whether on the company earnings or the labor earnings on the stock market they've gone separate just directions in the last two years they've suddenly broken decades long patterns so then she looks at debt so too with credit spreads leverage rates in the past two decades spreads on investment grade companies have always widened when corporate debt levels rose but since t

and around the world is going so so much is because so much of the billions and hundred billion dollars per day of training that goes on is simply another stolen or front run and of course not just drains the system of capital that would be used to create jobs create more balance in the economy and you'd have a less of a risk now of social. cohesion riscos the economist magazine calls it a revolution so according to this article sixty one percent of all trading on the u.s. stock exchanges is by high frequency traders so these guys can trade in a fraction of a millisecond they're just able to go in their way before you front run a trade that you're even thinking of now and people keep on getting into the markets though they see the balls popping up out of the hole they know it's rigged and they keep on getting it in for some reason officials with virtue financial high speed trading firm in new york the u.s. like head start is good for the overall market according to a person familiar with their thinking the person said the data helps traders who buy and sell futures contracts throughout

so, they work quite a bit. so, to limit that -- and in most of these leases, it always says a tenant has 24/7/365 access. so, i think, you know, in fairness to that, you can't really limit the hours. >> so, mr. coe, would you think a provision like this in a lease could be deterrent to certain tenants? >>> yes, it would limit the landlord's ability to lease to a lot of tenants. and the tech tenants would not, would not be able to live with those restrictions. i don't think they should have to. >> ms. workman, can you address the conditions listed under acoustic plan and verification whether you're in agreement with them, disagreement? >>> you're referring to the charles salter -- >> uh-huh. >>> the silence conditions under acoustic plan and verification, you address use restrictions, but you didn't address acoustic plan or verification. >>> if it's all right with you, i'm going to ask the salter consultant to come up and talk about those. >> i asked them earlier and they didn't have an answer. ~ >>> i think now

pick these up and shortage i'm a hipster now excellent yeah so it's all very exciting so i did gailey you are a student of professor professor forget that he recently wrote the price of gold is heading to extinction everyone wants to know what does he mean by this it's just worth a lab rating on what he means by that what he means is by the price of gold he means exchange of gold against state denominated figure up credit which we call the price of gold so all he's saying is that that exchange is not it's not guaranteed to exist going forward now you have to probe a bit deeper into this basically it's just an expression of subjective exchange now you might be able to exchange apples or oranges at the market through barter but it would be very difficult to exchange oranges for a sudden for seven you know so exchanging like for like is a part of the preferences of subjective exchange. exchanging go for state denominated figure out credit isn't a guaranteed exchange basically so all we all professors trying to say is that. because you can exchange states denominated. state credit for gol

and then they look so puny and so pathetic when you see the forces that respond to that and respond so selfishly -- selflessly. that's -- i've seen that everywhere. in all these stories, what dave's talking about, what jackie's talking about, virginia tech and oma and london, it repeats itself because you're just amazed and in awe of what ordinary people do in extraordinary circumstances. so that i talk with a very young 23-year-old kid, and i did a column about how she -- her act of defiance, her, the way she could get back at the bombers in boston was to move back into her apartment near the bombing scene, site. and, you know, a small gesture, but that's what she could do. she told me something really interesting. she says i've already remembered, memorized the name of martin richard, link si lou and krystle campbell. she says -- this was before they caught them. they'll catch these guys eventually, she says. i will not remember their names in five years. i thought that was an extraordinary thing for her to say. >> anyone else? >> what it is to be a human being. and part of that is t

so, we have a couple minutes. if there's no more questions, no more compliments, the panel, thank you so much for coming. (applause) >> it's been awesome. hopefully we'll be having another one next year somewhere in the world. ...
