to report illustrates the data. not news to those of us in the room that women are getting more educated and more in the work force and paid less, i think the incredible coverage we have got this week which i have to think the white house can the director of the white house, really spearheading. we had another opportunity to get the information out from the public because clearly people haven't got that sense or get paychecks through and get the message across. it really demonstrates how important and meaningful to live the american women and their families, their husbands and children, economic security of women are. even as we increase our education level, there is disparity and continuing disparity is the real issue. the data informs a lot of things we're doing like health care. the kranick health disease experience of women. most of you know how women experience problems with the existing health care system. these are the things the american public needs to understand, what the impact is on women and families and

until the release of the census data. our next slide shows a trend that we have been seeing over the last decade, the population of you is more diverse than the adult population, which is, again, at a trend of no surprise. on the next slide, we are looking at the change in the number of low-income children by race and ethnicity. again, we are anxious for that census data because we know some of the estimates are over estimating the population. this shows a decrease in the number of asian american and african american low income youth. the next slide looks at some neighborhood data. this is from the 2000 census. it shows how the six neighborhoods in san francisco with the highest number of youths, aged breakout. as mentioned in the previous presentation, the excelsior has the largest in each of the categories. the five other top categories are listed. the next slide shows the huge proportion. the darkest eras are where there is the highest proportion. you will see some differences in the presidio, which has a small populati

take you to the report and underlying data. utlines the report and five areas in it. if you click on any one area, it will take you to a description of some of the reports summary or more importantly i think and for purposes of the website, additional -- substantial additional information so it directs you to the actual agency, federal statistical page that collects the data about women noor statistical agency. under each there's substantial additional resources. so, for example, this is the demographic page. if you start going to the drop-down things, you will see noigs what's in the data report, you have population beige and size, a lot of indicators. these come from a number of statistical agency without respect to each of the areas. the demographic information is department of commess but there's labor sta 'tis 'tis ticks, age of information relating to the age of first marriage, children. on the demographic side i want to highlight one point and i want to you go through this website yourself. i think you will see a lot of i

the data, the data, do you begin to think, like, what's the point? because you've been providing the data, and nothing's been happening. >> where well, the programs -- well, the programs, cpars has been a program, federal program since october. i don't do any analysis of it, no. >> okay. mr. amey? >> i think this is why your 23rd recommendation in your report you released last week that talks about a written rationale for not pursuing proposed suspension and debarment is vital. we've seen multiple instances in just using contingency operations, kbr had over a billion dollars of unsupported costs. i'm not claiming that was all waste, fraud or abuse, but we couldn't support them, so we're not sure how money was spent. well, you know, the dca wanted to take some moves, wanted to initiate a withhold, and they backed down from the department of defense. we have seen it with bp as a contractor. everybody, obviously, knows their record in the gulf coast, but they, obviously, supply a lot of petroleum to the air force. >> yeah. one of the challenges we have

the income data, while we cannot use the exact data we use for free and reduced lunch program, we can use it basically in parallel to the way that the guidelines are set up, so the income data we receive, we will sort and be able to evaluate that using the same guidelines as set out by the federal government. the passes will be distributed to individual students the a school mail, and lastly, as supervisor campos pointed out, we are looking to set this up as a sale program for next year, but i am planning with the department of children, youth, and their families through their affiliates and be able to set it up there. that is where the program stands at this time. i'm happy to answer questions. supervisor elsbernd: just one question, chris. maybe it is not for you, but sometimes, there's a group of students that get lost in the cracks here. there are some students, and i admit not a large amount, but there are some students who economically qualified to do not attend public school but attend parochial school and attend private school in san francisco. i did not expect the you have go

i want the actual data. for many years, i have been told that the database is too complicated for me. a lot of journalists have the capacity to use the data. propublica, we analyze the large datasets and make it available to local reporters to do not have the capacity for that. propublica is a non-profit based in new york city. we want to do more investigative reporting and help news organizations that cannot do that. we're hopefully providing tools for people to do that. every data set we get in have a consistent set of problems with inconsistent name spellings, in possible values in fields. we have a set of standard integrity checks we do to work with the data. one project we do every quarter is building a recovery tracker database because the data on recovery.gov does not give information on a local reporter could use or give a complete picture. the date it does not include a lot of other spending that were not jobs projects in the stimulus. that has to come from usaspending.gov. counties are not included

the reading of the data is that there was working and the excess reserves are growing less than the growth of the balance sheet. is that with the question was? >> the of risen less than the expansion of the fed balance sheet. would you agree? >> the balance sheet has been on balance but a growing with the recent speed purchases at a kind of moderate pace from the 2.3 trillion that it reached after lsap i, and i actually haven't the relationship of the growth of reserves specifically to the growth of the balance sheet. there may be some research shrinking occurring as the economy picks up so i have no reason to argue that point of view but i have to look at the data specifically. can you give an example of a sticky royce and say why it deserves more attention than a change in other prices over the same time period? >> good question. an example of a sticky price that might deserve more attention, a lot of services and service contracts are built on a fixed price even sometimes in a very formal aspect of the economy and there's a service relationship often reluctant to raise those prices so i

even though we have the data over all for men and women, we don't have the aggregated data to break it down to really see the picture of women of color. >> still have a need for that and particularly as it relates to asian-american women and as it relates to american-indian women. not even included in this report so we need more help in those areas as well. >> not all data is good data. it doesn't always sort of come together in the right way. important data regarding violence against women, wless have struggles in that area. would you like to address that? >> one of the things i like to say about this report is the whole list tick approach tells us not just about how women are experiencing violence but the wame experience and recover from violence is connected to employment, education and health so it gives you a full picture of women's lives. the report does show that since the passage of the violence against women act in 1994 incident, the testimony about violence dropped more than 50%. we know the intervention stat, then senator biden now vice president bryden, we have data today t

as you can see in the data, the end total is that we have 2240 students who took ninth grade english, 441 received an f. i broke it down into various groups. chinese students, out of a totaled 1866 chinese students that took ninth grade english, 5% of them received an f. out of a total of 325 african american students, 94, or 29% of them received an f. latino students, out of a total of 863, 21% received an f. out of our english lerner students, 19% received an f. our students to receive special education services, 255, 65 received an f. there are some duplication numbers for those of you poring over the data. you can see the data for the algebra. our newcomer students, who are recent immigrants, also had an extra burden in terms of trying to meet the graduation requirement. they are coming in with a little bit level of english. they only consider one year, or 10 credits of english language development courses out of the 40 that students need to complete the english language requirement. the newcomer students typically need extra time within the four years to complete their graduation

is collected and use part of the fourth element is to provide greater access with the data that is collected and to calibrate the amount of access according to the sensitivity of the data that has been collected. and to encourage all participants in the services sector and trade associations and academics and others to engage in greater efforts to provide education the. about what? to educate more carefully about the manner in which it is collected and how did it is used to provide a fuller explanation of how the full life cycle of day dead takes place. let me identify what are three important issues associated with the consideration of proposals for others. who will do this? what public policy will be responsible? the ftc report is very light candid on the question of the future design and the department of commerce was much more informative to raise the issues. looking at the archipelago concerning privacy, you have a wide array of federal-state and local activity concerning collection and use of information that the federal level you have a mosaic of industry specific control

these people entrust us with the most sensitive data. he federal and state income tax return information, individual purchase transactions, bill payments and health information. business accounts including employee payroll, accounts receivable, vendors list, inventory and other business data. as more technology solutions move to the cloud customers place more trust in us as we handle the sensitive data. at intuit with default data storage principles that express how we think about how we use the that and offer guard rails to guide our judgment. the central concept of the data stewardship as simple. it's our customers' data, not ours. we are and will be held accountable for the information entrusted to us. as you think about privacy legislation, we encourage you to consider four things. one, principles based approach, number two, focus on customers, never freakin' a data driven innovation and number four, global uniformity. first, we see the value and the incompetence of principles based privacy legislation. because we adhere to the variou

so based on the data we make the decision to not evacuate. >> reporter: still, the beaches are closed at this point. this is a decision you made with the national park service. >> that's correct. that's an overabundance of caution. but we want to make sure if it comes ashore more than it should that it won't go over the sea wall. so as a precaution we closed the beaches, we closed the great highway, both as an extra layer of security. also, these events do tend to bring out people who want to sightsee and see what's happening at the beach. we closed great highway as a way to mitt grate any traffic congestion that may occur down there. >> reporter: so stay away from the beaches this morning, they are closed. for those who live along the coastline, what's your advice to them? >> monitor local media. if we get new data from the state to suggest another action, we'll broadcast that using the outdoor public warning system, the sirens, using the media, using the alert ss system, there's multiple ways to get that out. we see it incredibly unlikely this morning. what the data is saying is tha

looking at ways to make the data electronic and instant. unfortunately, right now, the information is sent to the state, and there is a lag time in getting it back. we will look at how we can intercept that data before we send it off. it takes close to one year to get that data. if we can get it in a month or two, that will make a huge difference in how quickly we can react funding capacity, we are growing, but this is beyond the mta. this is citywide. we need to integrate safety pedestrian principles and all decisions that are made throughout the city, and education for staff and police as well, and the public, in terms of the string issues there. we need to take advantage of new tools. there is a plethora of new tool to take advantage of. we have started to look at the one that we can do right now, the low hanging fruit. a lot of it is data integration and reporting. some of the other tools that will be more complex, we can definitely reach those. we have the task force that is working on developing the key elements of the directive, figur

during the department review process, the data set we are using did not identify the street segment. once this information was provided, we have gone back and contacted planning to verify the data to ensure that these kind of errors were not happening in the future. from a process viewpoint, the department did go through the proposed process. the situation is on the process of four previous legislation. on the streets with good views, excellent reviews, or when there are buildings adjacent. a referral would be made to the planning department. the planning department would either approve, deny, or proof with modifications based upon their evaluation of the facility. in this particular case, one of the possible remedies this board can do given that of the permit has been suspended, it is to direct the department to submit a plan referral in this case as we would normally do during the standard process for their review and they would then come up with a specific recommendation and finding. please recognize that the new legislation as established triggers a re-evaluation of these facilit

may be we don't need the data. >> i can think where crn's have helped. they have been able to put aside emotions. you can call me ernie. i don't call him chief. getting back to the gun buy back. i think we are right in line. we are doing the same buy back. we could use more. i think if you were to talk about gun violence. in 2006. we took 238 off the street and already in 2008. we have taken 296. a lot of people are high 5ing. to me. where are those guns coming from. where are these guns coming from. if the numbers are becoming so high, we are quadrupling. we better find out where they are coming from. the gun buy back is good because it cuts down to domestic violence. you can no longer sell the gun. people are selling us guns they can't sell otherwise. i am not saying it's a bad program. we would like to have more gun buy backs. it always comes back to capabilities and your help to get to the community and tell people. if you see a gun. call us. we will make a report. we just took an ak 47. we bought that gun and nothing happened. i would rather do that.

the data i am going to share is going to suggest that in the category of bed bugs, a lot is going on. things seem to happen the way they are supposed to happen. we do not anticipate having to use penalties and enforcement provisions frequently.

we have not coordinated all the data from hospitals and health services. and they're also the people who are -- to do not have the information, of what happened. >> we were talking earlier about what happens in the mission, and all those things going forward. >> absolutely. there is a desire to see how we rank compared to the other cities. if there is any measure to make comparisons between the cities, if we get into how we think that we are doing, there is a variation of the quality and the links of the trips, and a set of characteristics that may vary from city to city, and this affects the interactions between the cities. we do not have a lot of kuwait. ha ha others have how -- or -- our daytime population is different from the daytime population. this population has the international standard of traffic safety. this is higher than london, paris, or new york. ther>> there was a study showing san francisco has more deaths and injuries than any other city calculated with miles driven. >> sure. >> if you look at this, we don't cover it quite as well. the co

data, in your career. from that perspective, what do you see as the good and bad in government data and in the efforts by the obama administration such as data.gov to make data more usable in navy combat that to what hhs is doing. >> the agency deserves an immense amount of credit for setting the right norms around this question. the efforts like what is happening and hhs represent an understanding that this data has been paid for. it belongs to the public. and it has value. but economic and social value. we can get a more vibrant economy, and we can get better policy outcomes. information technology makes it possible to distribute this that basically is your cross. we have to get over the last time but breaking down the silo and publishing it. ultimately, the benefits will be worth it. there's a broad understanding within the administration and throughout all parts of government that this is the direction we need to be moving in. some of the most exciting work is happening at the agency level. hhs is a great example. what they're doing is very exciting to you can tell that. and other agencies have always be

captain harrington, geoff twice in sag don't analyze the data. this is what you said about what your office does. you manage, you oversee. you do proper database management, configuration management, customer support and training. but if you don't analyze the outcome how do you know what you're supposed to be doing? could you tell me, please? >> we have an moaa through dla and osd. and we adhere to the moaa. the memorandum of agreement -- >> i know what that means. my folks take that very strictly. >> tell me, but you have a memorandum of agreement, but do you get specifics on the outcome of your training on whether you have configured these, whether the systems are properly configured? you get numbers. do you get outcomes? >> we compile monthly metrics about the system, yes, sir. >> you do. so you have numbers and outcomes on all these systems, on all the training you're even -- you are able to evaluate how well you train people? somebody takes a course at the university, they're going to take a test. he will pass, fail, get great. and somebody t

that's the data you have now? >> correct. >> and you're a $17.6 billion operation? roughly how many contract actions did you do in 2009, just roughly? >> i don't have that figure off the top of my head. it would be thousands. >> thousands of them. okay. what about the suspension debarrment side. you said you had one referral? in '09 and you took two actions. what were they? >> in 2009, we had a debarrment of a contractor in venezuela. >> and -- you said there were two actions. >> there's two actions, two parties involved in that transaction. >> okay. so you got 1 referral in '09 which resulted in one debarrment? >> bhab 2010. >> we had two suspensions and a debarrment that resulted from a referral. >> okay. thank you. >> mr. ridner in your testimony you gave some percentages that ofpp came up with regarding various narratives. it looks like less than half of the entries affected quality. there was insufficient narratives for schedule control in more than 60% of the entries. there were -- you gave sufficient but i'm giving you the insufficient. insufficient narratives

so the current status of the reactor will be -- the data will be available for the reactor once the power is restored. >> so there is a concern about the radiation exposure to workers, and the sampling has been done, which showed the radioactive -- higher levels of radiation. what do you think, particularly on the impact of human health? there's been quite wide distribution amongst various the measured figures. the figures are recorded depending on the geographical conditions of the monitoring sites. chief cabinet secretary mr. edano has been issuing appropriate instructions. and if you are interested in raw data, you can always refer to these reported figures by the ministry of science. there has been no concern. thank you very much. that was shuichi, iwata, professor at the university of tokyo. >>> the head of the international atomic energy agency, yukiya amano, says he's starting to see some positive developments in japan's efforts to stabilize the crippled nuclear power plant. amano made the remark in an emergency iaea board meeting in vienna on monday. the meeting opened way silent

just one line, i would make the comment -- the 24 and the 68 to get a more comprehensive view of the data and the comparison. commissioner campos: thank you. any other speaker? seeing non-, public comment is closed. >> we have a few follow-up questions for the mta. i know when we had the previous hearing, supervisor avalos and i asked the question is pertinent to win the next train would be. the other important issue was the tracking. was it a delayed? and equipment failure? the public speaker reminded us of that we know we have a significant amounts of those. those are significant issues we have to address with mta and in our body here. i am wondering as we track this data, when the lrv's are arriving, are we tracking when the switchbacks need to occur. >> thank you we are tracking -- thank you. we are tracking directly within our control versus other events that occur, mostly on the street. it is a very challenging, for us, because of delays. we continue to look -- we take every delay and i put together on a monthly basis of cause, and nature of each of the vehicle delays. we look at th

the data, the data, do you begin to think, like, what's the point? because you've been providing the data, and nothing's been happening. >> where well, the programs -- well, the programs, cpars has been a program, federal program since october. i don't do any analysis of it, no. >> okay. mr. amey? >> i think this is why your 23rd recommendation in your report you released last week that talks about a written rationale for not pursuing proposed suspension and debarment is vital. we've seen multiple instances in just using contingency operations, kbr had over a billion dollars of unsupported costs. i'm not claiming that was all waste, fraud or abuse, but we couldn't support them, so we're not sure how money was spent. well, you know, the dca wanted to take some moves, wanted to initiate a withhold, and they backed down from the department of defense. we have seen it with bp as a contractor. everybody, obviously, knows their record in the gulf coast, but they, obviously, supply a lot of petroleum to the air force. >> yeah. one of the challenges we have

the end of every contract. dcma afghanistan inputting data into c. par four large -- logcap iv. contingency cmo is also provided by monthly performance evaluation port reports based on monthly audits, focusing on toward the evaluation criteria, technical costs and management. for the logcap iii contract and a logcap iv contract in afghanistan and kuwait. these oddities inputs from dcma quality assurance represent as an appointed contracting officer representatives. ecma corrective action requests, administered contracting officers, customers, usually the camp of mayors, and the contractors of self-assessment. the tvs are compiled into an award field evaluation board every six months and embraced to the theater logcap pm representative. ecma also provides a weekly report on cars issued for the previous 90 days to the logcap program office and we participate in quarterly logcap where we breathe the program office and pco on performance trends for the preceding 90 days. d.c. images and provide support to the pc owes at the contractor corporate level for logcap, on matters such as co

even if the data we had proved correct, our town was too small to warrant a study. strengthening the coordination and accountability of federal, state, and local agencies is key to creating that line of communication. >> are bringing together, i think, a more effective way to respond by including the community so there is no frustration out there and you get the answers. ms. brockovich, you talk about ensuring accountability and transparency. what are the main benefits of the people stricken with illness and to other people in their community from increased transparency and accountability as we look at these clusters? >> i think it is clearly important to have the community involved. communities try to reach out to agencies. it can be cancer registries or local agencies and often they are treated as a statistic and they are not heard and they want to be a part of the process. they are distressed and as a community. they want to look to agencies and they believe the ones that are overseeing them and when they find out something has slipped through the cracks, it begin

stop suppressing the data. data. e had access to lobbyist for specific issue or agency prior to the xml feed being released because we were scraping it but now that they are serving up the data via xml it is off-limits to us so it is one giant leap forward in the small step backward as far as we are concerned. finally house and senate data should be the same. we know from long experience, we started doing this research back in 1996, that these data sets have conflicting information. they should not. gudaitis filed separately then congress to use the reconciliation to enforce better disclosure looking for missing or inconsistent reports. finally i just want to add at the time that it takes from submission to the report being accessible on our site is now three to four days off from weeks or months that will but have taken us back in 1987 so i will add more later. >> thank you so much. lisa. >> hi. i'm lisa rosenberg, and i'm a professional lobbyist. i have been accused that is the right word of not being a real lobbyis

again, there are some trades that are not at the 20% level, so having the data -- i want to commend naomi and rhonda and guillermo and chris for the great work they have done in bringing the city together. they have been working on the technology side with the firm that provides our certify payroll system and enhancing the system so that we will all have good and real-time data. not just for us, but to share with the public. we currently put our certify payroll data of on data sf for use by the community or anyone else, but to be able to start getting down to trade by trade and looking at ours, to be able to share that with contractors and with the public and with labor, i think we will very much help. that is pretty much it. we definitely have a lot of opportunities. from what i have seen from the work that naomi and her group have done, they are looking at streamlining the front end of the process, so it will actually be easier. we are looking forward, and i think it has been a great effort from the date the law was passed even before that, but up until now, and we will certainly be rea

i am happy to provide the exact data for these months, but this is what it will show. supervisor avalos: there were things that were brought to my attention, and i was very concerned about service to people south of the 30th, district 11, and it seems like it is already somewhat of a policy, 348 is a huge number in my mind in three months' time. this affects most of the people in my district, especially the people along the j-church line. this other was eliminated from the service back in 2009. in district 11, they are left without service. that issue of turning the bus around at 30th and church. is this number, this 348 in three months, is this you a number -- is this a number that the mta feels compelled to lower? or is this something you feel is acceptable and that you want to continue? because i find it unacceptable. people in my district, people who are in great need of service, they would like to see a higher level of service, and we have fewer options. we talk about san francisco being a transit first city, and when you live in a part of san francisco were the op

for me, the data comes first. i do not decide i will talk about the subject and then go out for the data. i search for the data first on something interesting, something that agrees with an opinion that i have. sometimes i find something that would surprise my readers. and i build out from there. >> i started reading you on saturdays. there is always a big chart on there. when was it decided that they wanted you to do this? >> i started almost three years ago. i left "the times" to become the art director for "national geographic." it was kind of an untenable situation in that i never moved to washington d.c. i commuted from brooklyn to washington. i was single with three kids. i had three nannies. it was an untenable situation. i said i could not do it anymore. they told me i could work from home. the executive editor at the time kept harassing me the entire time i was away saying i had to come back to "the times." we had lunch. he said to think about things i would like to do if i were to return. one thing i alwa

i want to turn a little bit to the survey data before we open up for the q&a. doug elmendorf mentioned the survey data and the numbers make it harder for candidates to compromise to find some sort of middle ground which most people in washington seem to think would be a combination of some additional tax revenue and some significant, more significant cuts in entitlement spending. the numbers don't make it easy for politicians to do that. so there's any number of surveys i can look at, the most recent one and one of my favorites, i don't know if this will get me anything it's not like i'm attempting proctor and gamble product like i'm going to get diapers tomorrow, but one of my favorite surveys is the nbc news will street journal. i liked it, the numbers don't bounce around a lot, i think they take great care, not that others don't this is one of my favorites. and there's a recent one that just was out to be very 20 fourth 3,281,000 adults. thinking about yourself and your family, when you think about our federal budget problems including our growing federal bu

and we say four meters but that's the data that we've got. and not considering the fact that no more data has been sent about the height of the tsunamis that could even be much higher than the recorded four-meter height in miyagi prefecture. there's a wide area shot of yamamoto city in miyagi prefecture. people being lifted in helicopters. there's more. we have more footages of rikuzentakata in iwata prefecture. you can see a rescue operation. they are forcing people off the rooftops. they are leaving behind ruins. the devastation of the massive earthquake and tsunami that followed in iwata prefecture. there are more people under the helicopter. the helicopter of the self-defense forces in rikuzentakata in iwata prefecture. the massive earthquake has also damaged two nuclear power plants in fukushima prefecture. air has been released from the plants to ease the mounting pressure, but high levels of radioactivity have forced the fukushima number one plant to suspend the release. radiation at the fukushima number one plant rose tie level 1,000 t
