they can use a free spreadsheet reader to prepare their applications. i also wanted to mention that we are beginning -- we are scheduled to begin our applicant workshops next week. there is about 130 people in groups right now on the mailing list for the program. we are expecting great response to the second round. commissioner buell: thank you. public comment, i think. excuse me, let's get commissioner lee. commissioner lee: i understand the item was not placed in front of capital because of time restraints, but in the future, capital items if all possible should be placed in the capital committee first before going to the full committee. with that said, i was wondering what kind of out -- you are doing in terms of language, materials -- what kind of outreach you are doing in other languages to let people know about the opportunities and what kind of responses you have gotten. >> we have been primarily working with the board of supervisors. we have not received any requests for translation services, but i am certainly prepared to begin that as soon as

as simple as, for some of the founders, sending copies of our monthly report, and completing a spreadsheet to very complex requirements. we filed various items quarterly or annually. we did put out an rfp for these services. we received two proposals. nancy whelan consulting ranked the highest. we had negotiated a contract. it is five years and $4.2 million with an option for a three-year extension. that is $2.7 million. all work is paid on an hourly basis. nancy whelan is a certified dib and i am happy to answer any questions. director cohen: i have two questions. i will have the same questions on item 13. i think i know the answer. the option is at the tjpa's option? >> correct. director cohen: nancy is doing a fantastic job, but the term is very long. we have had early termination rights in these contracts. >> all of them have termination for convenience or cause. director cohen: great. thank you very much. >> just a couple of questions. nancy has done a fine job for us. i'm support of this. i have a few questions. i noticed we only had two composers. can you tell us why we have only ha

i am referring to the spreadsheets, the plan for fy 2010-2011. the first example is ries recycling. -- grease recycling. obviously, under these objectives, one of the three actions for this fiscal year is action 74. and in the short term, how will we know how it is done? we will know because the board of supervisors voted to approve the ordinance and we will have restaurant participation increased by 100%. we will be working in conjunction with similar objectives about how they contribute. so, the key performance indicator is the number of days that water quality bacteria levels did not meet epa requirements as a result of sewer overflows. this is a long-term indicator of progress. before i go to the next example -- we have a clearer, quantitative -- what we call quantitative. we can provide trending over here. the next example is what we call qualitative. sometimes we call them squishy. whatever she calls them.

you look at your receives every month and track what you have either on a piece of paper, and xl spreadsheet. the tools are available. in addition to that, we have implemented an sfpuc tracking of all of our insurance coverages and are working with the insurance department to make sure that compliance is done, but it requires that the department do it. i will tell you that we are very serious with all of our follow up findings with this audit as well as others. we need mostly with the department head. the general manager is also brief. we are very diligent about meeting our six-month, 12- month, and 24-month follow-up because we have to report back to the controller's office of what progress we have made on each of those recommendations. we have heard them, and we are taking it very seriously. supervisor farrell: if i could summarize, i know we are going to hear some other audits, but what has been happening, in your mind, is this one of the biggest causes of concern i in your work so far? >> it really is. we report quarterly to our commission. by way of comparison, the good work that the co

in that laptop was a spreadsheet that contained the personal data of some 13,000 people from louisiana who filed claims with the company after the oil spill. well, today those 13,000 people are now getting this letter which explains what happened. it also tells them what the information that was on there, including their names, addresses, date of birth, phone numbers and of course their social security numbers. so because of that, bp has set up a free credit monitoring service for these people so they can monitor their credit in case -- just in case they would become victims of identity theft. at this point they see no evidence of that happening, but they still haven't found that laptop and it's been gone for almost a month. >> so this disaster continues to play out for people. anne thompson, thanks for that, as always. >>> we'll take a break. up next as "nightly news" continues on a wednesday night, a drug that could mean the difference between life and death for newborn babies. but tonight there's outrage over what it costs. >>> and later, we heard the words 30 years ago today, "the

>> that is going to be a spreadsheet, a collaboration system. it was from october when we first started working on them until now. there are many fields that are populated. you can look and see when the case happened, when the evidence was collected, by us or by the officers, depending on the type of evidence it was, when that evidence was picked up, when that evidence was delivered to the lab, when the analyst started to work on the evidence, and started to do their analysis, the results of the analysis, whether it was just screaming and was negative or they did the full work up, and it was positive, the name of the analyst, again, and whether there was a profile developed, if there was a profile developed, what happened when that profile, was entered, was there a match, was there no match? if there was a match, was it a convicted offender or a match to an unknown suspect who was in the database? those fields will be populated. commissioner hammer: i think you said we started doing that in october, or we started entering data from october? i am

because it is the believe in the spreadsheet your look in your the mirror. hold. on ships you know attacking honor and protesters in the capital that is where the united states stands on the issue tacitly behind kratz. or against depending on the threat to u.s. interests not to lives or in mr r.t. new york i mean time british opposition m.p. jeremy corcoran says his country has been very selective deciding where military intervention is necessary i think there's a lot of double standards going on here because what is happening in libya is obviously terrible and obviously gadhafi should have heeded the views of ordinary people and come to some kind of accommodation with them all removed himself from office but. there's been no condemnation worthy of anything against bahrain saudi arabia yemen or amman who've also been killing large numbers of civilians totally over the last few weeks and i think that the worst is being very selective about this it's all about securing a future status with whatever government comes out of libya libya has vast oil reserves libya also

against everything we believe in in the spreadsheet that you're looking at american old helicopter gunships you know attacking protesters in the capital and that is where the united states stands on the issue tacitly behind auto krauts. or against them depending on the threat to u.s. interests not to lives lauren mr r.t. new york you can keep developments on the world's big stories by following r.t. on twitter and facebook and also hours of video reports and coverage lined up for you on our you tube. in. he would ask you live from moscow now let's turn our attention to that of japan where another powerful aftershock was struck the country as follows last week's double hit which killed over seven thousand people and crippled the fukushima nuclear plant that are of course to raise fears of a meltdown. is across developments in japan forced another process live you've been out there for a number of days now traveling around the region bring us up to date what's what's been happening over the past hour. the latest development is this large earthquake that hit me iraqi prefecture just north of t

word documents, spreadsheets. now, not as quite with every feature that a full-blown computer would have yet but remember, charlie, this is about a year. it's a little less than a year since it started and you can do this. and, you know, then you can go back and play angry birds if you want. >> rose:. >> rose: (laughs) i love it. >> google is building one, too, but this app is powerful and to david's point, just speaking personally, i read the economists on here, i read the "wall street journal," i read the "new york times," i read all things digital, my web site, i read the "new yorker" on here. and they're very good experiences. >> rose: and the implications of that for those print publication is what? this is the future for newspapers right here? the future for magazines? >> this sort of thing is so much more satisfying as a digital reader than a computer or a smart phone-- as good as smart phones are. and to my mind it's more satisfying than the kindle and i'll tell you why. there's nothing wrong with the kind

this spreadsheet shows the total of these automatic appropriations and come to $10 5,464,000 and that is over a period of time. this is the minimum, threshold number, not the maximum amount that can be spent. just to give an example, here's one of the items in here of automatic appropriations, self-enacting appropriations that shows this. $10 billion -- excuse me, let's see, totals $10 billion through fiscal year 2019, medicare innovation, medicare innovation, funds that goes to medicare and medicaid services, fiscal year 2011, $1 billion and written in such a way that it is $1 billion every year and here's the language, in perptute. one example that innovation that gets appropriated written into the bill, $1 billion that goes on forever and it isp nt requiring an act of congress. it isn't an act of the appropriations committee in the 112th congress that funds any subsequent year. this is the perpetual motion machine that spits out money and will spit out money forever. and will spit out money until congress conducts an affirmative act to shut off this funding and that's what i sought

the dominant work processor and spreadsheet on the macintosh -- we kept telling them, please licensure software. the irony is that they fired their ceo, they brought steeg back, they kept building on their software. you can do it on your own, but it is just a different model. the microsoft model is for all the hardware companies. >> when you wrote your first book about your company and your life, i don't think you mentioned very much the internet in that book. maybe i am wrong. did you foresee the internet coming along, or did it surprise you, and how important it became as part of the whole computer generation? >> yes and no. it is easy to sound not humble. the book talks all about the information superhighway, which sounds stupid now. the internet is a mind blowing think that has completely changed the world forever. there are some elements levitt -- elements of its, while all sorts of people in the industry talking about it for a long time. we kept expecting it to happen, and it never happened. then all of a sudden it took off. i don't think any of us sort of realize why it did not

we have to worry about the environmental little bit less and worry about our spreadsheet a little bit more. that is my comment. right were the caller's is that we're roy to burning gasoline in cars for a long time to come. a more effective strategy is to reduce the amount of gasoline we burn in cars and shift to electricity as president obama wants to do. he wants to put 1 million electric vehicles on the road by 2015. a senior official by the department of energy justified in the senate that we would not see the peak production of oil from alaska for 20 years. then it would not lower the price by any more than 1%. the reality is that we use a 25% of the world oil, 2% of the oil resources, and it would be impossible for us to drill our way out of this problem. we have huge demand, little supply. host: 1 verve years is saying is that clean, renewable energy is the only way for a sustainable future. define clean and grenoble. guest: to me, and that is in the does not require energy source that is mine or drill. at the wind, power, solar, geothermal energy, tidal energy and that is think

entirely under the control of the corporation and it could just be an accounting measure that had a spreadsheet showing here's the money that we're allocating to political expenditures and here's where it's being spent but you had to have some sort of reporting that would be kind of analogous to the entity-wide requirements for anybody that was making these kind of disclosures. there was a group of lawsuits before the 2010 election, you know, basically arguing that political committee requirements were overly burdensome. that they interfered with the right of corporations to engage in free speech. and, you know, the tension at the heart of citizens united on this issue in my mind is that on the one hand there is very, very powerful and broad language supporting the idea of disclosure but simultaneously, there's a passage that talks about how burdensome pac requirements are and pac are not an adequate substitute for corporations or unions who want to engage in politics. and so i think that that tension is sort of what a lot of these lawsuits -- whoops, sorry, tried to take advantage of to say we

entirely under the control of the corporations, and could be just an accounting measure that had a spreadsheet showing here is the money we are allocating to political expenditures and here is where it is being spent now you had it up some sort of reporting that would be analogous to the anti-wide reporting for anybody making this -- expenditures e -- entity-wide reported for anybody making these expenditures prior to citizens united. basically, arguing that political committee requirements were overly burdensome, that they interfered with the rights of corporations to engage in free-speech. detention at the heart of the citizens united on this issue is -- the tension at the heart of citizens united on this issue is that there was broad language supporting disclosure, but there was talk of how burdensome pac requirements are and that they are not an adequate substitute for corporations that want to in the thai politics. not -- tensio -- they are adequate substitute for corporations that want to engage in politics. the good news from our perspective is that they have not been successful. as far
