did you do independent testing with statistics like look at this cause? did this factor cause competitionx to change this. could you share the source of your numbers and how you approverrived at them. >> for the state and non-state contrast it came from looking into tribal people and forensic archeology. in europe it came about unearthing records every year for a town in europe going back to the middle ages. in the case of war, it depends on the period. since 1944 there have been records kept on the debt of war members. before 1996, there was a project that looked at death rates from 1816-present. prior to 1816 it becomes, as you can imagine the further back you go the fuzzier it is, but they have tried to look at the death tols from the wars and come up with best guest estimates. the fbi keeps good statistics or have since the 1930s for crimes other than homicide like rape and assault. victim surveys are not con tam taminated so they are help. it depends on the kind of violence. >> did you take a new approach with analyzing the reports? >> in general, i

i'll start with a quick profile of collision statistics and speeding information in the city. first of all from 2011 the number of vehicle collisions was 3111 of those 844 involved pedestrians and 630 involved bicyclists. of the -- another statistic is the number of collisions with fatal ities and that number has gone up respect respect ively and 622 collisions in in 2011 and over 21 percent of the drivers in the city exceed the speed limit by five miles per hour or more. this map shows where those streets are and when i say over 21 percent, this was some information com piled by the department of public health, that range is from 21 percent to a hundred so we could have significant numbers of drivers exceeding the speed limit. >> let me ask you to repeat that. i think this is highlighting the culture of speeding and unsafe driving in our city so at least 21 percent of the drivers are driving over the speed limit and it's on over 88 streets that are identified by that map. >> that is correct supervisor mar and as you can see they are scattered throughout the city. no neighborh

this is a recent statistic in -- statistic. about 89 out of 100 school resource officials were surveyed and said absolutely, there is more pot in school today. we have seen the trend is increasing. this trend is also increasing, that the perception of harm is going down. this is one of the number one indicators. this is been true for alcohol and tobacco. when kids do not see things as a risk, they are more willing to try. they are more willing to use it. this is disturbing. the perception has been going down. this is a very recent statistic. it just came out. it shows colorado versus the united states in terms of marijuana use. over age 12, as you can see, and then it breaks it down. clearly, colorado is higher than the nation and all of those groups. just briefly, i'm not a doctor but i'm sure you've heard some of this. the impact of early use. again, it affects adolescents differently. studies have shown that it can permanently alter and damage teens brains. interfax learning and memory -- it effects learning and memory, anal

here is a statistics on the cast nodes, 104 are shipped a lot are being erected. we are at 84 percent and continuing on everyday with the casting effectively done. now it's machining and processing. the bus ramp status here, we've done a lot of underground work since we began last fall. we are actually for this period we now have 12 of the below grade cidh piles done and will continue on to get the underground piles done and pylon 9 the center column of the cable state bridge is the above ground work. the grade level work will start this month. and these are some photos of pylon 9. you can see we are getting ready at the grade level to pour the grade beam and tie in the rebar for the above grade work coming up shortly. you can see some rebar fabricated in the lower right. it gives you a pretty good perspective of the diameter of the rebar with the workers standing besides it. we are going to continue the concrete on the steel bar and the modeling is on going. that's important next step for us. there is a team of workers on that everyday. over the next 60-90 days,

it's a different way to think. >> there is a statistic. it's not the one i have here.we're chose participation of black fathers to be among the highest. >> it's higher than any other race group. >> a lot of this is how it's shaped in the media or that sort of thing. it's funny when i look at the way it's talked about in the media. i remember president obama. president obama said problem of young men of color is the only thing they're passionate about is basketball or rap. common you're a rapper and your dad played basketball. >> i fall in that category. >> why does obama hate you. >> i don't know, man. >> are you the problem! >> i will get his answer when we come back. we will be right back.

i also many including poison control statistics that i received from patty hyatt. these are her numbers. and some of these were already quoted by supervisor breed. exposers is defined as contact of a substance regardless of how it showed up and information calls don't say whether someone was exposed or not, but they received roughly 6,000 contacts from the -- in san francisco, in 2014. and then they ask what happened. what the medical outcome of those exposures were in 2014. and some of them resulted in deaths, most of them had a minor effect or a minor effect was expected from the exposure. and the pharmaceutical categories that resulted in these calls, it's right up there. this over lapse the marketplace where my clients sometimes get their drug of abuse. thank you. speaker: thank you very much. any questions, from colleagues. not at this time. okay. so we have just two more presentations. i know we have a lot of anxious people who are here to provide public comment so we'll move on and i would like to invite kerry, the resource recovery manager at the public uti

they can tell you other statistics about problems this country is facing, but we have 22 veterans a day committing suicide. that is an issue that needs to be in everybody's mind. we have to bring them home together as a country. >> every one of those 22 have other people who love them family members, wives, husbands, children. it is a ripple effect. susan and i are an example of that. we are a family impacted by the loss. the same thing happen with his sisters. they now have a brother who has passed on. it is a huge issue. it's a tragic loss. >> i hope all of you will follow the veteran space. there was not a conversation this time last year on suicide. we did achieve that goal. just let we did on the g.i. bill and advance funding. it was an important goal. it was a hard goal to get done. american sniper has helped now. there have been huge corporate efforts. all that comes together to raise awareness. we have to send that on so the veterans are not broken. just because you have post-traumatic stress does not mean your damaged another leader. i think a national conversation is important

. >> those are great statistics. >> national marriage week wants to celebrate marriage and help people find more success. we want to promote the benefits of marriage. in fact, just this month the federal bureau of economic research says that marriage does actually make people healthier and give them greater satisfaction. however, fewer people are choosing to be married. so in 191970 only 79% of the adults were married and now only 52%. we have dropped from 79% down to a 2% of the adults who are married in this country. and we just want people to know that marriage is actually good for you. it gist you greater financial stability. >> how so? >> married couples have far and above the accumulated assets that single people do. and guest you greater health and. men drop 10 years off their life span. it makes men live longer. >> why is that because they

and what we do know is that there's been no statistically significant change. a lot of people said it would be a massive spike in times of teens would be using marijuana. for the first ever and it would be terrible. in fact, we have seen no statistically significant change but in other states and this all comes from state and federal data, that have not legalize marijuana they have seen spikes in marijuana use. it's hard to exactly where this is going to go but certainly in the last year or two there's not been a spike in these things. seems to be flat lighting the colorado high school graduation rates are higher than ever. dropout rates have been going down the last supper years. so it didn't is there a direct relationship? navy that's a bit of a stretch but for people are saying absolutely this would be the worst thing for teens at the we simply have not seen that. colorado seems to be getting better and better every year. a couple other issues that i think speak to how things are going. the economy, right? what we do know is for the last 50, 75 years people

. >> reporter: but nationwide statistics show it's more than just scoring goals. >> it makes me feel free. >> reporter: that's why mcduffy the father of two young girls, is trying to pass a bill that he believes would encourage young women to be more involved in sports and for schools to do a better job of tracking that growth. >> it's going to hold the schools accountable by requiring them to collect data. >> reporter: but also admits as does the commercial some of

there are no official statistics and figures and they're saying that there are members of the group. we have the regular videos that come out from the leader of the group. but the authorities here, maybe the military, the police, the intelligence services, they really don't have a handle of how many members of the group there are. sometimes they talk about hundreds. sometimes a couple of thousand. but nobody really has any reliable intelligence and statistics that can be independently verified on just how large the group is. >> geographically yvonne, the boko haram program is largely confined to the north and northeast. correct me if i'm wrong on this one. goodluck jonathan is a man from the south. from the niger delta. is there a sense amongst some groups because he is not closely associated with that northeastern part of nigeria that he does not put it at the top of his list of priorities. >> that's the precise accusation of the opposition, and people who come from the northeast region. just to give you an idea of the landscape and territory, you have to remember that nigeria is a

simple statistic and then move forward. most vacancies here. on the upper east side or upper west you have a vacancy, 50, 300 teachers apply and they can choose from that number. in most schools in the bronx in central harlem or brooklyn, 20 30 people turned over each year. anybody think that is the winning formula for organizational success? not remotely. people tell me we are giving them equal educational opportunity, the question is what are the lessons of hope? to me there are several in the book i take away. self scrutiny is a hard game to be in even if you reprimand the american psychiatric association but i tried to be honest about things. to me verbage three core things have lasting impact. those three things started first and foremost. a lot of people think the jolliest has been limited in terms of success but i have no doubt the programs we started, schools of choice charter schools and not multiple pathways where we gave people many new and different ways to navigate the system but opening up as charles and getting close to 700 schoo

the risk studies and looking at it by other statistics and previously we reported blue shield had a higher age. that's still true. a lot of the studies we're looking at active population and that is true today and when we look at all of the lives there is the one group with the retiree dependents that is pushing that different yecial. we continue to see 96, 97% of the population whether active or retired are in the eight bay area counties and those in the board room and heard about the impacts of the market in california and it's substantial because that is where our membership is. in your own time you can look at page six. we added more analysis by age groups and you have seen in the previous year's reports. i have skipped ahead to page 16 where we're now looking at both our employee members and dependents combined. again that blue shield out bound migration has stableidesd and we saw that increase and i think -- just quickly browsing forward over to our retiree members on page 21. just in summary i will say that we did see a significant increase in our enrollment in retiree dental

then you'll be able to report these statistics. think of all the tech companies we're about here today. they're tiny. they don't have r & d labs. they're doing everything. so i think actually if those companies aren't spending basically 100% of their time -- indeed, that was the division, of course, that these are businesses -- they have no revenue but they're spending an enormous amount of resources it's all r & d. i think actually the decline in entrepreneurship particularly in the r & d sector is troubling. we're seeing less innovation and less r & d and we're not measuring it in the statistics. >> issues aside -- in fact, i think we are capturing a lot of that but measurement issues aside, when private companies invest in r & d, it is almost exclusive product development for known markets and a small fraction of that will be the kind of next generation, more exploratory work. >> not to be too critical, it's not that difficult to pick up applied innovation. it's more core to pick up -- >> but at the top level i think we can agre

that equalization, from our long-term statistics, is probably $70-$80. that doesn't mean it doesn't touch $30 for a moment. we believe long-term value is $20 or $30 lower than it was last five years. larry: do you believe the keystone --larry: charlie: do you believe the keystone pipeline is necessary? larry: it is more of a simple today. the fact that we did not do keystone -- i was not against doing keystone when it was proposed, with the fact that we did not do keystone, we became more active in north dakota in producing more oil. we actually became more self-reliant because we did not do keystone. charlie: not doing keystone had a positive impact. larry: yes. it had a very positive impact to the companies that transport like the trains. charlie: why build it? larry: the question i would raise, we have witnessed over the last few years some very horrid thick -- horrific accidents with trains transporting oil. if you want to talk about the risk of these oil tankers going through towns, don't you think a pipeline is safer? i'm not going to get into a po

99% confidence interval so if it exceeded that we wouldn't have ultimate funds but 99% of the statistically modeled% -- the 99% confidence interval this is the amount of money that the program says it should have so you're comfortably reserved. >> this is based on prior year's experience. >> yes and we forecast it forward and apply the statistical tool kit and come up with a number. >> based on the last three years? >> 36 months, yes, three years. >> any other questions from members of the board? on these items they're list listed as discussion items and i know public comment should come after each one of them. i have elected at least at this stage to ask the public comment be slightly defer because these items are existing policies and come back for full public comment. this data will be updated in the june period, so if there is any public comment at this point on this discussion item i would invite it or the prior one. hearing none we will proceed. >> item 7 discussion item. review of city plans rates stabilization reserve. aon hewitt. >> all right. you have before you standard of presen

. >> they have statistical videoed u. they count wolves in a small area that is good wolf habitat and extrapolate it to areas that may be wolf habitat. they do statistical tricks. >> to see for ourselves, we went out with a researcher tracking the wolf population through an aerial survey. the government says they do the surveys frequently taking wolf population density into of course and says there are 2500 wolves in minnesota. >> we see it right there. is it right there. there's a cluster down low. more than the goal of 1,000 - numbers they have not seen since the 1970s. >> were you mismanaging the wolves? >> it was substantiate with a plan that was developed through a public process and the state laws. >> reporter: dan stark is in charge of wolves for the minister department of natural sources. >> both ends are on the extreme ends. we are not killing enough or too men. we are management middle trying to manage that and maintain a strong wolf population that is doing well. >> stark's agency is in the hot seat over allega

this is a recent statistic in -- statistic. about 89 out of 100 school resource officials were surveyed and said absolutely, there is more pot in school today. we have seen the trend is increasing. this trend is also increasing, that the perception of harm is going down. this is one of the number one indicators. this is been true for alcohol and tobacco. when kids do not see things as a risk, they are more willing to try. they are more willing to use it. this is disturbing. the perception has been going down. this is a very recent statistic. it just came out. it shows colorado versus the united states in terms of marijuana use. over age 12, as you can see, and then it breaks it down. clearly, colorado is higher than the nation and all of those groups. just briefly, i'm not a doctor but i'm sure you've heard some of this. the impact of early use. again, it affects adolescents differently. studies have shown that it can permanently alter and damage teens brains. it effects learning and memory analysis. it affects processing, shor

i have not delved into that particular statistics and demographic as it relates to tuskegee but all the same when i will say about this is clearly and honestly we are in a 21st century environment where you have to be able to have your nation. we believe tuskegee's academic program for stem program particularly our stem programming for minority students are second to none meaning their ability to be retained, their ability to persist, their ability to graduate their ability to get a job and stimulated field and obviously i'm not sure if those two-year program -- programs would be to the extreme detriment of our university because in some ways those two years may or may not carry with it the client of quality that will prepare them to matriculation to agriculture or engineering or veterinary school or even business so i'm not as privy to provide the real data to respond to how we would directly impact tuskegee but let me say this. i believe tuskegee university will remain strong and ending performance and outcomes-based model as we continue to track our successes and document and also en

i think you mentioned some of the statistics.s have the highest obesity rate, did you know that? >> number one baby! >> larry: childhood obesity has doubled and tripled! can we acknowledge obesity in children is not healthy? >> i'm going to agree with you it's not healthy. because when i'm at the golden corral and i'm trying to get some of that -- >> larry: not an anecdote. no, but them little fat kids be in the way -- (laughter) -- you know -- for real! and i'm like, move it, fat boy! you got juvenile diabetes! i got grown folks' diabetes! you know i need this! (laughter) i'm going to tell you something serious. on the serious tip, why black folks, you know, are higher in obesity than other people, when i was growing up my mother was a single parent, raised three kids by herself, she had to come home and sometimes, man my worst thing, we went to bed hungry. that was the worst feeling in the world. when you go to bed hungry it's a nightmare. you have these dreams you're eating stuff, waking up, your pillow gone, you know...

in regards to statistics police called for service and only had one police call for this location with zero police reports issued out of this location and the san francisco plot number 543 unfortunately does sit in a high crime area and had a reported 325 police reports for 2013. this information is that it sits on tract 0159.00 with a population of 4, 350 people and the the premises and with letters of support there was zero filed with the abc and the department's recommendation to the matter is there is no opposition and the alu recommends approval with the following five conditions. condition number 1 1 electronic surveillance and recording equipment shall be utilized during operator hours and shall be made available to the department and police department upon request. . >> condition number 2. sales of alcoholic beverages shall be permitted sunday through wednesday and from 12 noon until 2:00 2:00 a.m. thursday through saturday and. >> 3. >> no noise shall be audible beyond the area. >> the exterior of the premise shall be equipped of lighting to elluminate and the appearance and c

the welsh ambulance service statistics have come out and they are the worst ever on record. just 42% of emergency calls are answered in time compared with 70% in england. so will he now admit, we can now admit that labour's catastrophic cuts and mismanagement in wales have cost the nhs dear? >> mr. speaker, the last time he was in charge in wales people were waiting to years for an operation. that is the comparison with what was happening. everyone will have heard he did not answer the question. he did not answer the question about what is happening in the nhs in england. this is what the head of operations at one nhs hospitals said, and i quote. this is the enhanced criteria that have been introduced by nhs england to stop trust from calling a major incident. the whistleblower says the hospital answer been tied to a prime minister said they're not. who does he think people will believe? >> people will believe the head of nhs england who said that this very clearly this morning local hospitals continue responsibly of deciding whether to declare major incidents. it's perfectl

the statistics in prior years show that i.c.e. was able to fell is fill its deif he thinks beds with priority, people who fell into one of the priority car e categories. it was difficult to find contention capacity during the height of those surges, which were seasonal. it was difficult to find detention capacity. but our statistics have indicated that 97%, roughly at times, of the average daily population of our system met one of these priorities or their detention was mandatory by law. other than that with respect to the quota driving policies, the administration has not supported the 34,000 quota congress expects. congress appropriates resources and expecteds ichlt.c.e. to use those number of resources for those beds. i'm not part of the number of enforcemented remooifl and operation within i.c.e. which is responsible for apprehensions. it is in the case that in recent years, ira has been able to more or less achieve that 34,0 0 number of notwithstanding puck e fluctuations within the end of the year. but i couldn't speak to ho

another statistic i haven't checked recently. [laughter] the almost truth is -- on his truth is -- honest truth is that was true. what happened was that was true in 2004. we did have more starred restaurants in london than paris. the french got wind of this and basically michland the guide was told to go around in a north korean way shelling out stars to restaurants until they overtook london. but, you know, it is -- we are up there. the food -- what i'm trying to say the food is great, theater scene is great. the cultural life is great. there are more live music venues than anywhere else on earth. they'll have a great time. they will meet -- >> they don't have a great time. our politicians seem to have a habit of saying dumb things when they are in london. it happened to romney. it happened to chris christie. >> it's not just american politicians. [laughter] it's not a skill reserved exclusively to american politicians. we all have a go at that one. >> but why do you think our politicians get in trouble when they go there? >> i'

>> i am afraid that the honorable lady's statistics are simply wrong.es not like to hear this, but the fact is that there are 600,000 fewer people in relative poverty than there were at the election and 300,000 fewer children in relative i know labour does not like to poverty. inequality is lower than it was at the election and we can now see 1.75 million more of our fellow countrymen and women in work. behind all those statistics are people who are able to go out, poverty. earn a wage, have a pay packet and support their families. i would have thought the labour party of all parties would want to support that. >> my constituent, kelly thomas, has been waiting nearly 15 months for urgent bowel surgery, which, if she lived in england she could have had in six weeks. nhs wales refused her treatment on the basis that it is technically available in wales although ironically there are no surgeons available to do it. someone somewhere needs to make a common-sense and humane decision. i hope the prime minister can help that happen. >> i will look at this case.

i have not delved into that particular statistics and demographic as it relates to tuskegee but all the same when i will say about this is clearly and honestly we are in a 21st century environment where you have to be able to have your nation. we believe tuskegee's academic program for stem program particularly our stem programming for minority students are second to none meaning their ability to be retained, their ability to persist, their ability to graduate their ability t

that's a pretty sobering statistic. so one of the things we ought to be thinking about together with you is how to increase the amount of reporting. in my limited experience in this area as a lawyer in private practice, often people who are subject to some kind of financial abuse, there was a professional in their life, whether it was an accountant, or somebody aware of what was going on, sometimes that professional would report it and help sometimes they wouldn't. i don't want to get involved in a family thing whatever. do you have suggestions for us about ways in which we could increase the amount of reporting especially by professionals who work with senior citizens who become aware there may be warning signs? >> one thing i want to let you all know about is a program happening in missouri right now. ron long with wells fargo has created a unit of elderly -- called department of elderly client initiative. it's a number of different professionals within wells fargo brokerage firm dedicated to advising all of their emp
