so i thank them. we spend a lot of time in the weekend, spending time on email, talking about delac so even with short staff we still moving forward. like i said, i was in the last meeting, we need to communicate. that's why i'm here. commissioner maufas: thank you very, very much. i would like to have delook and our bilingual -- delac and our bilingual community council speak to us more often than occasionally. so we have the parent advisory council speak to us at every single meeting and sometimes it seems like they're crunching to get a report together. i would like to put on the table the idea of maybe you all coming to us in every two months and also having the b.c.c. speak to us more regularly, maybe every two months. instead of again once a year you're coming once a year, these are -- the time period between your presentation and what's happening in your world and communicating that to us is just -- the length of time is too long and i'm hoping that we as a board and you as a committee and you

you want to put it in a window so it's not so heavy on a double-hung. it's a good product, but again, you know. you know, it's like window glass, you just have to hit it just a little harder. plate glass, same way. you know, this is what essentially was in i-magnum. this is what's in the mills building. this is what's in the rust building. this is what's in th in the hurt building. there's putty around them. they're going to shift. the wood kind of comes and goes. so it takes quite a bit to break a piece of plate because -- i mean you can -- this will take quite a bit of vertical weight but if it gets bound or whatever, you know, if you just get it in the wrong spot, that's what happens. >> we're seeing some major high rises going up near the bay bridge and south of market and i'm wondering what kind of glass is being installed in those towers, and what will be the effect in an earthquake. >> ooh, excellent question. >> oh, boy. i think i will -- the right answer is when you come off of that part of bay, i always get in the left-hand lane. >> [laughter.

they triple use so so statistics that there's thinks are are tricky may be tricky. i've heard that the government will be a first investor that you'll be getting ten billion us from from the russian state is that true and why do you need government money yes. for investments it's very important that international investors feels as a have a good partner in russia because when we traveled to the lead in the best person in the world they said yes we believe in russia it's possible to generate good trade so for turn but to do that we need to partner justice for example if you are investing in china or in india you could do it on your own but probably would be a good idea to get a local partner so you mean that the government is the only real reliable partner in this country well i think government is one of the key and most reliable partners in this country and i think government is making major initiatives to improve investment climate from russia so providing this capital to share risk is investors not give them any guarantees but be their partner and core invest alo

so we do have a deal. but let us begin again with that deal finally reached to raise the debt ceiling. for days now people across the country have been saying stop it and work together. now whether they're actually happy or just relieved having a sigh as the house speaker did after what has been a standoff in this debate for the last few weeks and months we don't know that's up for debate but of course nothing has passed congress has not even voted were waiting on that this evening the house i'm told in a procedural vote right now but let's look at what exactly is in this deal that's on the table let's take a look at the nuts and bolts so this allows the debt ceiling to rise by at least two point one trillion to as much as two point four trillion now the deal comes in two stages but this was a win for president obama in the sense that there will need to be another major go down and increase until after the elections until two thousand and thirteen so the government can pay its bills through two thousand an

nothing's about it so so so so what for example what would you prefer what would you recommend you or your kid having a friend or having fifty friends in facebook you know the so-called friends i'll really never met i'll recommend this to friends in facebook or in contact well or or. or mail because actually the sadistic strolls that ninety percent of the friends on social networks are real friends. around here real people know real friends so somebody that you are friends with in real life you are friends with him on social network. so ninety percent so there's a real i don't believe there is rather shyness i know i heard i heard statistics today in the morning that seventy percent of people in social networks in russia have false identity another song that's not true are you sure absolute checked it's . the sister called research that can be provided it's over ninety percent have troy then to my name my name in your of contact is lady gaga you know and here really everybody has a very sense that so me you're signed to a picture i do that. you know. it's not about ninety percent it's

so. if a project like was happening every other month i would be ecstatic about that but it just cannot happen we we are of the same generation you remember like in the seventy's i think in the series union. your honor appeared cartoons for the adults and we feel middle of the garden for adults and this was something new do you think this is adequate to have cartoons for children for the snow white and the seven dwarfs i watched it the other day i think it's for absolutely for adults and only for the kids love it. good animation of course you know if it's all the edges. i i really don't like this approach when sometimes a lot of corners been caught because there's an explosion this is for kids it has to be simple it has to be. maybe not that much you know creative and again it could be extremely simple because kids are rather stupid and they don't understand the difference between good and really good so it can be simple i don't buy into this theory so if. animation piece is done for kids

and so on and so forth. but he does say at that time, this is the perfect park. now, there is a little reference in your book, i would say significant percentage of part. now, if somebody from prospect for who spent 30 years there, i have to say that i agree with olmstead, but that was the perfect part because he has all this money come the complete freedom and essential perky about those, mr. green, everybody. so i don't know. what do you think? >> yet a quotation which i won't be over-the-counter. >> i know that quote. i'm not going to be able to dig up a quotation. i found a letter in 1873. >> he did love central part. >> but i guess the way that i would attempt to counter that is by saying it's kind of the old -- an outcome i always think about musicians like paul simon deutz heard him interviewed where he said, you know, my early work with simon and garfunkel was amateurish. it was youthful, et cetera, really at the top of my game during the more world music, et cetera. i defined the artist on the best

so so so so this is so this is something you see you can hear you can see there so ensure asked to have an operation to jim to make it real i mean to to make it like a real yeah i see when she said so she just weirdness thing to do just a little better i think they're just waiting for her to circle logically recover to give the stronger before they can operate. it was a terrible decision to go to the united states or a great deal to stay in there were people just you had to take her out of the guy she was for when i'm eighty two she was really anxious to go to america but really the main reason why she wants a new nose in is i mean can you imagine what it must feel like. what awaits in the united states she's she's did learning the language in you know what was she going to do well at the moment she's making jewelry and all i know today because i'm in very close communication with the organization is that she makes jewelry she's got a very small. life right now she sees them in mom once a week. she knows how to use the internet she she serves afghan websites. and that's really what she

well so i mean yes s. and p. did faulty grade these things but our fit in well logo it won't go oh no no they didn't falsely grade these things that two trillion dollar error supposedly according to our buddy peter schiff this was an assumption that certain growth parameters would be met that there's no way in heck any of the growth parameters will be met this is a straight up and down so straightforward honest to goodness report there is no true trillion dollar error s. and p. made the right call the fact that they're now being vilified by the people that they made the call against doesn't invalidate the call well i'm talking about the mortgage securities when they raided the mortgage securities that have exploded and across the entire global economy the s. and p. rated all of those goldman sachs c.d.o. as they read to them triple a they redid all of those things aaa that they sold to french banks german banks swiss banks attalia banks all those things blowing up economies were rated aaa by s. and p. they were b

so. as resorting to desperate measures get money back in the pockets of working people to stimulate the economy is the payroll tax cut extension that republicans are less than enthused about supporting and here's another idea through helping homeowners that was just reported in the new york times today which read the obama administration is considering further actions to strengthen the house allow millions of homeowners mortgages to refinance that today's lower interest rates about four percent a wave of refinancing could be a strong stimulus to the economy people cause it would lower consumers mortgage bills right away and allow them to spend elsewhere so this is really an effective way to get the economy on track and if so why wasn't this done a long time ago here to offer her take on this issue is nomi prins journalist and senior fellow at the most she's also the author of several books including it takes up pillage behind the bonuses bailouts and backroom deals from washington to wall

dollar is so. prevalent around the world and treasuries are so big up predominant around the planet that you have no other parking place for money but i'll submit to you that all it takes is one big treasury auction and yields will skyrocket and phrases will plunge not only for that little bit of debt that was issued that day but yields across the spectrum i knew was that what work hard a treasury auction sends us into the trajectory of greece instantly mark my words it's happening and i don't think there's any way around all right when you predict that that happened two thousand they can't because of the fifteen. the way to two thousand and fifteen to see you go oh there's that right ok well i all i will see whenever that day happens but it's two thousand and fifteen or before or never but let's talk about an exactly different let's talk about jobs actually not slightly different because you kind of believe that one of the main things that needs to happen is that government spending needs to be cu

the so. let's not forget that we had an apartheid regime right leg i think iraq is made of money well. we're never going to says there's something safer get ready for freedom. it's time for you said it i've read it takes time to respond to my brilliance and engaging viewer comments on facebook twitter and you tube because when you've got something to say i listen now first i'd like to respond to a very kind viewer who commented on my fireside friday about defense cuts last week i r x i said a load of what you're reading off you don't even know what you are saying you're just reading off the teleprompter that your master writer is set up for you i bet that after this show you will forget what you were talking about until you read again what you were saying you effing puppet actor now i think irish guys is little confused about a few things first of all i wrote every word of what i said there's no master writer or puppet master whose words appear in the teleprompter just my words that i've writ

whoa whoa they have a right forgive me bring so surprised i have gotten so used to people being arrested and harassed for pushing the record the record button when police are in action but it looks like we believe they got it right after seeing the media's attention on the actions of local law enforcement cleveland said go ahead and record at least they understand the importance of keeping their officers in check at all times after all if we're giving them off already and allowing them to carry a firearm should we know that they're doing the right thing but lest you think of the war on cameras is anywhere near over here is the latest example of cops aggressively stopping anybody from filming that and seaside heights a man named chris and his brother walking down the street when police caught the two men taping that the comps were all that happy about it. no i didn't here's your . first photo so don't go grab a small there's a software for. a video game from one of the big believe it or you know a lot of the. i want to perform the surgery on my dragon sorry. now it's a little tough to see

focused on getting reelected in a second term he's so focused on this so-called you know name to his claim to fame which is bipartisanship he wants to make friends with the republicans he's completely distracted by all of that he's not going to go to the american people and say anything about how congress is bought ok that's it's just that you don't you know who does that a strong president does that barack obama is not a strong president ok and in terms of the american people look at will their response be you know so far their response has been nothing i read a great article on alter net today that talked about the response of the american people have had to all of these cuts in education all the horrible economic situation and so far everyone's been very quiet and i don't think that they've lost hope i just think that people are angry enough yet and we're getting there people are starting to really wake up in fact there was this really great piece written by alter net again by the way that talked about how wealthy people in the united states are stockpiling weapons and they're get

but her asset values have reduced that number so they're down now to seventy one percent covered so they're blaming it on an economic slump not financial fraud not banks or fraud so people read this in the mainstream media and they say oh it's an economic slump that's why these pensions are underfunded now and it has nothing to do with any fraudulent selling of mortgage backed securities to them wells we're talking about for many many months or years these pension accounts are where bankers go to unload toxic securities that's been the story for many many years member robert citroen who is running the municipality orange county california when he bought one hundred billion dollars of the toxic securities and blew up that county and because of pension fund managers and calipers i know from personal experience that people run calipers are literally almost on the verge of being brain damage that they're so incapable and incompetent in what they do they would buy anything these pension fund managers and helpers is one of the worst i mean they're they're they're like a little you know just a lit

is due to high frequency trading it is so is the downgrade of u.s. treasury to create volatility to make it easier for high frequency trading and black box trading to extract more wealth from the exchanges that's why they put the servers next to the. changes themselves to siphon the cash off more quickly and more efficiently and this is without a doubt an exe instance a looting by wall street banks by the banks in the city they're looting hundred million dollars a day by some one estimate and they get no punishment whatsoever then you go to london riots and somebody is caught stealing a pack of gum and they get six months in the clinker again i asked david cameron about this i mean i mean he's not a stupid man but when he fails to see the problem here what has to ask oneself is seen in fact oh moron well look at this fifty percent of trading in london is high frequency trading. and people are saying that is putting ordinary investors at a disadvantage due to the speed which with such trades are placed so they're stealing from ordinary investors david

so don't be fooled. before we get started i'd like to talk about the organization that i helped found 10 years ago, the western neighborhoods project dedicated to the history of western san francisco. we have a very popular website, outsidelands.org where we have old photos, stories, over 15,000 messages put up by people remembering their time in the richmond district, the sunset district, west of twin peaks. i couldn't fit everything into a book so i decided to have a little companion website. so if there's new things that come up, if there's corrections, god forbid, it will show up on this website. old photos that i maybe couldn't fit in so visit that you if can. that's carvillebook.com. how do we start with carville? well, we start with the building material, essentially. how does carville get started? it starts with when old forms of public transportation become obsolete. now, the earliest forms of public transportation were omnibuses, which were really large coaches pulled by horses. but in the 1860

or so of brain should was it worth it so does nato strategy vindicate president obama's patience so not heard in some of those jingoistic lines are big headlines about the possible thirteen hundred deaths and five thousand injuries over the weekend of nato airstrikes now we've seen scenes of celebration all over the t.v.'s but what about all of the civilians nato forces were supposed to protect are they and those casualties being reported now not a simple story at all especially when you back up when you talk to more sides and more people on the ground earlier today for example r.t. spoke with journalist mahdi nasm from the center for research on globalization and he is in tripoli where along with other foreign journalists they had to stay in a hotel during a conflict they were trapped as the building was in the middle of tripoli with practically all the staff and security personnel running for their lives here is his press hand account of what's going on on the situation. feels like a rollercoaster right. now in. two years. they're going through the building young man one of the hurt t

>> very much so. i mean, if you were to compare what has happened since the recession ended a little over two years ago, it i utterly unlike what we have seen in any of the other dozen of business cycles we had since the second world war, no decline in the unemployment rate, what that tells you have the growth we had since the end of the recession has only been must have to keep up the force of theabor force, not the 8 million people or so who lost their jobs that,ed is rtually unique in the united states postwar history, i would say, however, there are precedents in other countries for it, because we have a lot of evidence now that this is the kind of rothe you typically see after a crisis, there is so much debt that needs to be paid down that you simply do not get the surge of spending that you typically have. >> to my mind, one of the most interesting comparisons is not just what is happening in the u.s. job marke compared to historical periods but what is happening elsewhere in the world, because

so i think that's one thing. when i will know, you know, i actually think that it also will be helpful if i have you contact the chair of the s.f. p.u.c., in addition to me contacting ed again. supervisor campos: sure. i did speak to mr. harrington and expressed the frustration that we have with this development. >> and i will have our clerk check in with their clerk daily, and i've asked jason to contact the s.f. p.u.c. daily to find out any updates on a date. supervisor campos: colleagues, do you have any comments or questions? why don't we open this piece up to public comment. >> good afternoon yet again, commissioners. eric brooks. i'm here representing san francisco green party and local grass roots organization in our city. i would policeman phi the err of frustration but take a slightly different trajectory, as i think a lot of us as advocates, i'm sure you have seen in the media, we have our own concerns about how the s.f. p.u.c.'s program may be moving forward, what the term sheet might look like. we hav

so fascists, for example, from croatia, fascists from italy, from slovenia and so on and so on. so, actually, my book you have very high numbers if you consider these people who maybe not in a legal sense were criminals, but they were former fascists and nazis, ask i talk about them in my book because these people, they use the same underground routes the same way like the major perpetrators, like eichmann. you know, a simple nazi member or former ss officer took the same route as eichmann. and in the next 0 minutes i'll -- 30 minutes i'll try to explain how these people gowt got out of europe and at least e caped justice for many years, some of them forever. they were never caught and never brought to justice. >> and before we start to talk about the facts, we have to talk about fiction first. um, just let me start with one other remark. 66 years after the second world war, after the end of the second world war -- and this is still very much in some ways an open topic. sure, most of you will know the case of -- [inaudible] he was a ukrainian who worked, as we now know, as a cam

it's so good for the kids. it's so good for the families.r the siblings to see their siblings can go out. jonah has not been away from me. steve's son, my son, they're quite affected. they are not going to go into new spaces, overwhelming spaces without a structure and support and every day jonah happily got out of the car, ran to his wonderful aide, chris, and came home filthy. came home with dirt from climbing up the canyon and with the rope swings. and just happy, happy child. like every parent dreams of having is a happy child who goes to camp and enjoys his summer rather than enjoying the summer of no structure. i can't tell you what this has meant to all the families. i talked to the parents. they can't wait until next year. as steve alluded to, this is a long list for the camp. i am hopeful. i want to work with parks and reck to expand this -- rec to expand this so more children with parent. hopefully with the speerties that vicky brings with -- expertise that vicky brings with this maybe we can get an after-school program. every kid

-mac ok so as all of these firms that we're caught in gave in mass of.ecurities fraud instead of any kind of legal precedent being applied and anyone going to jail they simply had to change the name of the shop or go to a new shop or close a shop and re-invent the shop this is a classic bucket shop scheme wall street from a few decades ago it reinvented for the modern era using derivatives and in this recycling recycling the men who allegedly in this case are committing acts of this time criminal acts of fraud and stealing are right but it without the criminal acts of a fraud american economy would show a huge negative g.d.p. growth because as a negative action the negative accounting and fraud is that the basis of america is in a picker only variable. you might be right about that. in this case though this was the most egregious behavior we had seen come from executives senior executives heads of mortgages heads of the whole group. literally telling their clients that he you know what i know you think that these residential securities aren't performing

pretty so civil war for example or the. very first. order of the. services well so. it's know who or who. it is her. people who are in the way. and. who run. the girl who. over learn good american. but for the. rest. of the book. it's really a. fluke so what happened here was the rest of them are a lot. of the third and it could. create the people who could. use it in the rest of the world where you have. people who have enough and who have a. zero for welfare and the public for the. very take the weather. remember oh. in the early i could see for ever. in the people who were in the road. in the first week. it's. so. important for the week. and we already see of course a lot of the lines start to be blurred too you know we were looking at websites today of certain news stations and the u.k. actually have messages out there telling people that they want to work with the off already is that if you've seen any of the people who may have been looting to help contact the authorities and it's raised a lot of questions as to how people should cover this as well or you have

they don't know so they tell their staff to look into things like that so that when things that are obvious happened they go oh golly gee wooders nobody could have seen it coming it's one of the other there's no question about. now obviously it's hard to play the what if game at this point we can't just go back and pretend like the economy didn't crash in two thousand and eight we're not still feeling the effects of that but this kind of play with that idea for a second here just imagine if some of these investigations had gone through if some of these documents weren't destroyed and you could have picked up on a pattern and let's say that it came out that there is insider trading going on ai g. do you think the government still would have taken the same steps still would have bailed them out with any of this kind of information even. trying to make you know even to have made them look the other way or try to approach things differently. and fortunately american people have to understand this and i think they're pretty close understanding we don't have an honest government so if we

all right so living within our means it's certainly a foreign concept to so many people so what will this way of life mean for the future of this country if we continue to borrow both as individuals and as a nation i will be of or climb out of this hole. the executive director of the independent women's forum and is here now nicole let's talk about a couple different things first of all a lot of big things happened this week including we saw last week the debt ceiling be raised and so always supposed to be good after that we all believe this collective sigh of relief and then all these things that they were threatening happen anyway the stock market went down to its lows prison two thousand and eight we got downgraded put this all together in terms of how we should kind of make sense of us sure well when s. and p. downgraded our stance and poor's which is one of the major rating agencies they actually weren't the first one to do so there were three minor ones who had done so before and one of the minor houses actually has a really good track record of having predicted a lot of the ma

so. is there this type of talk inside china here in shanghai to people see this as an emerging currency war to the is this type of language at all you're right there in shanghai is this what's going on i don't see it many people talking of the currency wars is actually the political it's becoming more of a political issue here to keep the renminbi lol into keep shipping did you notice steeds than have them print them let's let's finally catching people's notice here is it why are we why are we working twelve hours a day in the factories and should be shipping products over united states and just have them print money though obviously the u.s. as you know western world is in a position financially where they have no choice but to keep printing i would say they do have a choice but it would require more of fortitude in our politicians sure at this point so i personally expect a lot more printing of dollars and we see that going on in japan in europe the united states other countries that st

we'd romance exactly said so so you think it's justified well here's here's the thing. i think there's a title in english style instilled and. when you first hear it your presumption is more that it's the that it's not literally about the children of joseph stalin with london with you. but but more about you know the generation who are stalin's children and in russian i think the tendency is more to presume that it's literally about stalin's children so there's a technical issue that i didn't want to you know so the fool people into into thinking it was a book literally about stalin's children but also there's a more important aspect to this and there's that that actually unfortunately tragically the story which makes up the first half of the book is of the the life and death of my grandfather a party who was executed moresby because he was executed in one thousand thirty seven and his children my mother. were raised by the soviet state that part is actually much more familiar tragically to millions of russian families so i wanted a little bit to change the emphasis of

so that's the first thing he did. the second thing he did is he realized that it was the main package so he designed a really fancy trademark to put on the barrelhead. you do realize the time the brand name comes from the distilling industries with their brand on the head of the bear also he designed to relieve an ice o.f.c. for the barrel head plus she made it using brass instead of odierno or would like most of them were doing at that time. so he sent a barrel to a customer and he would shine of and everything and make it real fancy and nine so when you walked into that saloon and saw six or eight beryls across the back, they're really fancy brand name and those shiny brass shoots. and he was really realizing how important the packaging was during a so when you came in with your flask or your jugs and wanted to buy a pint or quart of whiskey or whenever, you know, you would look up there and say i want that one. kentucky is very fortunate in that they have a lot of people that knew how to make good whiskey. and it a

the same time be so famously corrupt, be so famously injust? and one of the things that makes people pull toward extreme versions of islam is the sense of injustice, that the system doesn't provide justice. there is this vast system of state courts -- prosecutors, defenders, all levels of courts all over the country. this was an administrative system set up under british rule. the supreme court, you know, is respectable elders serve on the supreme court. it's been in existence since the 1950's. it's a country that has all the trappings of a functioning justice system. but in practice, and in real daily life, the problem of corruption and of political influence are so powerful that justice cannot function. and so what you find, in case after case after case, is that nobody expects that the guilty person will be found guilty and the innocent person will be found innocent. everyone expects that if there's a dispute where it's a murder or a land dispute or whatever. everyone expects that the party with the greater political strings to pull will win

under this all right so i have i have to go back to china to continue much study in my university so i have. about one week left here well i hope you don't get that assignment to write the paper what i did on my summer vacation trip to lee thanks so much for sharing your story she's a guest worker from china. moving on now to a look at libya where there is still no sign of libyan dictator colonel known moammar gadhafi but some information has come out about just how deep the ties are and were there tween he and some high powered government officials from america it turns out it was just two years ago that a team of washington's best known hawks visited libya in a show of great friendship and unity let's look back to august of two thousand and nine where just released wiki leaks cables give an in-depth account of senators john mccain lindsey graham and joe lieberman meeting with gadhafi son to discuss a long term bilateral relationship between the two countries and a promise that the u.s. will provide arms and military gear to libya and take seriously its requests to be treated with m

you know, so, so it varies. or i might get shiited off into the field department, which is a totally other department of producers where those are when we go out and sort of try to get people to ay stupid things. >> right. >> that, that's, that department. >> normally successfully. [ laughter ] a high degree of success. >> you'd be surprised how much people like to say stupid things. >> no, i'm.ú [audience laughter] .it, it's the greatest thing in the world actually. >> it's, it. >> and the field stuff is as opposed to the green scceen stuff where you appearrin dubai or in washington but you're just basically off camera. >> right. >> the field stuff is what happens is, a producer, a field producer and myself will go travel somewhere and, and sometimes to multiple cities and have multiple interviews. so usually whenever we do a field piece we usually try to do it, go out one eek and then the following week have it cut and ready for air. >> andd and then air. the -- you actually answeredú two questions for me in y

about the margin requirements and margin requirements are different for different classes of assets so a junk bond you have to put up more of the junk bond if you want to put it into an account and borrow against it the margin account as it's called treasury bills you can borrow one hundred cents on the dollar t. bills you can borrow one hundred cents on the dollar but what they're saying here is that there are so worried about the underlying fundamental. sole integrity of these global markets that not even a treasury bill is as good you know hundred cents on the dollar they're going to require you to post more of these bills into these margin accounts because quite frankly these global economies are at the risk of this precipitous collapse caused by overindebtedness and the c.m.e. it almost sounds as if they're doing something responsible but that can't possibly be true because they've done nothing but conduct themselves irresponsibly for years but let's see what else is on the subject here well there's another headline regarding this and they're saying that c.m.e. acts to curb volati

so there there there are all sorts of currency swaps happening so china is actually expanding the pool of central bank reserves of the u.s. that's right so the chinese are doing bilateral currency swaps with russia. and other countries so they've been moving out of the u.s. dollar as world reserve currency status for a while it's like the old joke about the husband knowing the last one to know that his wife's been cheating on him the american people are the last ones in the world to know that the rest of the world has been cheating on the us dollar they've abandoned the u.s. dollar years ago it only now is becoming an issue in the us but it's been an issue around the world ever since china became part of the world trade organization and you had this massive transfer of labor from the u.s. to china taking advantage of the so-called wage arbitrage thanks to bill clinton which gutted manufacturing in america and when they talk about this debt ceiling and the need to stimulate and the need to print more money as rick. having u.s. economy that would imply that there is some manufacturing ba
