the glen park association board, we feel the glen park plan is ready for formal review and approval. we are looking for to the planning and design process, more meetings. the glen park association board sent comments to the planning department in june. one of the request we made was that the design guidelines and policies be written into the plan so that any new development in glen park will reflect the scale and character of our existing neighborhood. again, the planning staff has been very responsive to our requests. thank you very much. president olague: any additional public comment? public comment disclosed. commissioner moore: i am delighted the plan is as mature being presented to us. i'm glad to see there is a much support. i think it is a good piece of work. i would like to know who owns a glen canyon park as land? who is the owner of that? >> i believe it is the recreation and parks department. commissioner moore: then we need to take particular attention to how these plans are being addressed because i think i hear the road is an -- it's not quite where it needs to be. i am

he took this action unfortunately without consulting the homeowners' association board and despite his earlier support for mr. weisberg's designed . however, as he said, and a quote, he since stated that, quote, if proper drawings and proper documentation is produced to demonstrate that the support structure of the roof is safe and will support the new deck, the association board will withdraw a permit appeal. now, obviously, my primary concern as the owner of the deck, like all of us, is to make sure that the support structure of the room is safe and compliance with code, so after discussing it with mr. stern, i commissioned wje, who mr. stern just mentioned, to do three things. first, to measure the joint group size, spacing, and support between the roof and ceiling of his unit. secondly, to calculate the load carrying capacity of the existing joists compared with code, and thirdly to produce designs that would strengthen the joists if necessary so we can be sure that the new deck is safe and that it meets with code. mr. cox, who mr. stern just mentioned, is a very, very experienced

[laughter] just kidding. >> [inaudible] [laughter] >> i am glad to hear about the upgrade that is going forward. frankly, from my personal experience, compliments to mr. haley, the issues that we have been experiencing and had experienced over the last few months are getting better. the one thing that we had talked about was some sort of reporting on when there are actually delays, so that the public can tune in and find out why they sat in a bus or train for a certain amount of time, getting some reports on what is being done about it. i think that that is still something that we should pursue. something that we should continue to pursue. the one issue that i heard a fair amount about, regarding service, and maybe this is something that you can report back on, it had to do with the recent confluence of events in the city. fleet week, the bluegrass festival, and so o

commissioner wynns: this past weekend, i was at the unity conference, of the latino school board members association and the coalition of black school board members. a lot of people -- they asked me about that, and i have a lot of interesting material. then i just wanted to say this, because i just got this. san francisco has been named number one in "barron's" magazine as the 10 healthiest cities for families -- in " parents" magazine. the city by the bay rose to the top of our list in part because of its gutsy move to bring healthier foods to schools. san francisco booted soda and high-calorie, empty food five years before the state did and was one of the first places in the country to push for school gardens. california's with whole grain breads debuted in 2007. now, at least have have them. skipping, it says san francisco also goes the extra mile to keep kids active, with playgrounds, recreation centers, and 60 soccer fields, and there are miles of car free roads during designated times so families can get without traffic worries. there is more, but congratulations. president mendoza: congratula

ran it down and we corroborated it through many interviews with folks who worked at the association who were on the board of the association, who were familiar with the association to the point where we felt comfortable that the information was 100% accurate. we applied a very careful test to this. we had a high bar for running this. we corroborated it to the point where we felt comfortable that the information is accurate as presented. >> you guys are still standing by the story, obviously. >> correct. >> i want to take a listen of some more of the exchange with jonathan martin, your colleague there, and i want to talk about this on the other side. let's take a listen. >> you won't tell me who they are, okay? i'm not going to comment on that. >> have you? have you, sir? >> that was the last question. thanks. >> have you ever been accused of sexual harassment? >> yesterday herman cain refuses to answer the question. all of a sudden, 23 minutes ago he decides to finally answer it. what do you think happened between yesterday and today? >> well, the response was kind of incoherent. it evolved over the cour

allegations he sexually harassed two female sub boardnants when he was the chairman of the board of the national restaurant associationn 'ed 90s. >> i have never sexually harassed anyone. yes, i was falsely accuse while at the national restaurant association. i say falsely because it turned out after the investigation, to be baseless. >> reporter: cain warned aides in advance false allegations might surface against him. the report said he was accused by two women of using offensive women. they were given cash. it's often no admission of wrongdoing on either side. cain said he only knew of one complaint and never knew of a cash settlement. >> in the restaurant association did a settlement, i wasn't aware of it. i hope it wasn't for much. nothing happened. >> reporter: in a separate interview with greta van susteren, cain specifically recalled the money. >> she and her lawyer were demanding a huge financial settlement. >> how much? >> i don't remember the number. >> thousands or hundreds of. >> thousands. but i don't remember a number. he said the good news is because there was no basis for this, we ended upsettalling f

this hearing, but i would like to read into the record a copy of a letter the bay area golf association has submitted to the board of supervisors in san francisco and san mateo. it says -- dear congressman spire. sharp part is well known as the people's golf course. it's a public course where racial minority as a retired dehere seniors, working men and women, school children, and these days, even the unemployed can play golf. because of its modest fees, all of these groups play golf in sharp part. the bay area club represents such golfers. we are a mostly african-american club formed in 1954 and based in san francisco. we are a founding member of the western state golf association, one of america's oldest african- american golfing associations. we were the host club for the western state inaugural championship and tournament in 1955 where founding members of the club med and played golf together for the first time. the tournament was held at sharp park. it's significant sharp park was built by history's greatest golf architect, alistair mackenzie. most of his courses include the most famous ones like augusta nati

and we through within dogged reported, talked to dozens of people, on the restaurant association, on the board, people who knew the allegations and reported on the case -- >> you are a good reporter. if it came from a political campaign were when you say outside, maybe someone from the nationality restaurant association or whatever, you understand the interest where you got the original tip to check this out. >> certainly. and i would say, what's more significant are the facts of the situation. we independently corroborated and verified that. >> you don't want to say whether or not opposition research or another campaign provide the initial tip? >> that's correct. we don't think that's -- that original source is as important as the actual information -- >> i know the actual information is important but the original source is important as well if we look at the whole political environment, what is going on among republicans. you know we have covered a lot of campaigns. opposition research always provides reporters, journalists, you go check out this, go check out that, you may find something go

it includes the american association of school administrators, the national school boards association the council of great city schools, and the national association of elementary school principals. in my state, the state department of education, the maine p.t.a., the maine school management association, and the maine principals association have all expressed their support for my amendment. our amendment and their opposition to the usda's ill-conceived rule. these groups represent school administrators, superintendents, school boards, principals. they know. they oversee the schools' food service programs, and they understand the difficulties and costs that this rule would cause. the association of school administrators, for example, wrote to express support for our amendment saying -- quote -- "the overly partnershippiv overe increases the cost of meals so drastically that school districts implementing these changes even receiving the higher reimbursement rate would still be covered for less than half of the new expenses." the fact is, the proposed rule would impose significant and ne

i sense that -- i think that saying that the neighborhood association and special interest groups are on board with this plan is to disregard the people that live and work in this area. we are the ones that will bear the brunt of all the chaos of traffic running a bus down our block. i live on the south side of the block where they are going to remove all of the parking. what do i do when i cannot even let my family out in front of our own house or unload my groceries? i think it is a poorly conceived plan, and i thank you for your time, yet again. >> i am surprised you said windy because my friends call me when the because they do not think i will ever grow up. i live in the neighborhood. at every meeting, i have said that there will be blood on your hands. that is because this is a wrong idea that has funding already approved for it. i am a bicyclist. i am a pedestrian. i live in the neighborhood, and i know this is a bad idea. for 27 years that i have lived in san francisco, the buses have never had a problem turning on page street and laguna. the only reason there are costs -- the only rea
