and we have to keep bringing that to the forefront. the facts underscore we also need to take a different approach to our drug problem. it should be guided by three facts. addiction is a disease and it can be treated. and i have met so many people in these three years that are back on the road to successful recovery, back in their neighborhoods, back taking care of their families, back actually working and paying taxes. sometimes we don't always recognize that. although you as sheriffs often do. so people can recover. and simply put, the mantra that i continually hear from my colleagues is that we can't arrest our way out of this problem. we have to be smarter about how we approach it. by recognizing addiction as a chronic and progressive disease and bringing in other people that should be at the table or at the forefront, you can make a big difference in leveraging your own resources, and those are health care, particularly public health officials. can help people overcome the institutional barriers. when i was in seattle, along with s

. >> we have brought to the forefront. others a have token we talked about it again in office they do nothing about it but right now, liberty movement which is seen as a patriotic movement, and individual liberty movement that is saying to the country into the world, we have had enough of sending our kids and their money around the world to be the police of the world. it's time to bring them home. >> as candidates get their message out -- >> we are so happy. >> thank you, thank you. thank you so much. >> we feel very good about that. the conservatives are coalescing around our campaign and that is going to be good for us in south carolina as we go for. >> find out more video at c-span.org/campaign 2012. >> this week on "the communicators," and "new york times" technology columnist, nick bilton, talks about the impact of technology on business and how technology has changed the media. >> host: and from time to time on "the communicators" we like to look into the future and look at some of the technology that they be coming

so one would assume there's evidence that's not come out that's not come to the forefront. 's due in court tuesday. we're unfolding another chapter where the mayor has to decide if he wants to proceed with a misconduct charge against him, suspend him, which would send the whole case to the city's ethics commission for a hearing and on to the board of supervisors, the board of supervisors with nine votes could remove him from office. i think it's a little premature to be talking about that but those are the various things that could happen to ross mirkarimi who was flying high weeks ago. >> it takes on a different dimension. he's not only an elected officer but peace officer as well. if convicted of a misdemeanor he'd be the only sheriff in the state who can't carry a gun and going to counseling every week. what does this add in terms of pressure? >> it adds a lot. the other thing when you talk about domestic violence, this has been very much at the forefront in the district attorney's office and the police department and in the sheriff's department, which has classes on dome

you can see there's debt worries coming to the forefront of investors' minds. is is how the european stock markets stood 90 minutes into the day. they're all firmly fixed in the red. the heavy losses coming from the dax. it's down nearly.5%. >>> we had big gains in shanghai today and lesser degree in hong kong. hong kong turned around right towards the end. the shanghai boost coming from comments from the premiere. he says he plans to protect investor rights. this is a sentiment for investors there. the outlook for the economy in china is still pretty clouded with the tight monetary policy although there is hopes that there will be a rebound in equity prices this year in china after a pretty dismal year last year. looking at australia, the index closing just flat there. retail sales in november came out showing that consumers not putting their hands in their pockets. sales stalling after .4% last month. the aussie dollar is weakening today. japan was closed for holiday. in india, down by .5%. that's after the government revised its growth forecast for the year.

[crowd booing] >> just as we have been able to bring to the forefront that most important issue of funnyoney, fiat money, the paper money, the federal reserve, we have brought to the forefront, others have tokenly talked about it and they get in office and do nothing about it. but right now it is this liberty movement which is seen as a patriotic movement, an individual liberty movement that is saying to the country and to the world, we've had enough of sending our kids and our money around the world to be the policeman of the world. it's time to bring them home. [cheers and applause] [crowd chanting "bring them home"] >> the one thing is, we do know they will come home. my goal and our goal has always been to bring them home in a deliberate fashion to avoid major economic crisis by destroying our economy by spending so much overseas. in the last 10 years, the wars that have been going on added $4 trillion of debt and i don't think we have been one bit safer for it. i think we've been less safe because of all the money we've spent overseas. so this is the issue now. it is an issue that i

look forward to continue the partnership with the department of technology to bring innovation to the forefront in san francisco. thank you. >> i will try to say something that has not already been said. thank you all for coming. similar to david, i will say, i come from the private sector. when i came to the city, the question i got most was how do we made -- make government more exciting, let the private sector? we all work for tech companies or business firms, so how can we bring all that excitement into government? to have a board and mayor that recognizes technology in the community as an unborn aspect really revolutionizes government. really looking forward to the next four years, working with mayor lee, the tax community, ron. we are really at the cost of some fantastic things. in the last year, we have lots mobile -- launched mobile apps where people can watch online, at interact with their devices. we have started to partner with other cities and taking what we are doing here and spreading across the country. this will only heighten our success. if we can use san francisco as a hub of

community in the corporate forefront, and thank you to target and everyone in the corporate community. we certainly need you. and whether you are in a public service community. we certainly need you. those of us in the broadcast community -- i think david and i have truly said so many years that we need to have a voice, and we would encourage anyone to have that voice. and it has been an honor for me to be part of the voice to move the issue that we think is so important forward in terms of television. and those of us inside the broadcasting world have that extra responsibility, i believe, to move that voice forward, to speak up about the issues that we think are important to our communities. i think that david and i have certainly tried to do that in so many levels, but this award means so much. i will tell you that i was born and raised in hawaii. my father was a taxi cab driver. he never got a high-school degree. my mother worked in a bakery. to think that you are honoring me today is so special to myself and to my family because no one ever said back then, "you want to go into tel

i think we're at the forefront. we are at the forefront technologically. china has manufacturing, low-cost manufacturing and driving down the cost, so that's why they're moving so fast. it's not like they have some great insights that we don't. they also have some very important win sources, in the book i quoted an official document wins in the northwest. we regard them as a precious resource. i don't think, whether china has x number of wind turbines, i don't think we are winning or losing in that race. i think the heart of it is what's happening in innovation, and i think we continue to be there. our great universities. i think, and we have something else. we have more players coming into the game, venture capitalist and others. so there is just more going on. i don't think we are going to lose. i do think that what's kind of on the horizon right now coming down the road would be a better way to put, is an electric car race, or race for the electric car. and that certainly hasn't strategic elements to it than 11 of the other things i was struck with and

. >> americans are at the forefront of the movement. 1991 is this couple moved their family to the formeriet union with a goal of reaching russians with the gospel of jesus christ. nine years later, they started moscow good news church in the russian capitol city. >> it is 3500 people in attendance. >> that is large for russia. something different happens at moscow good news. those from orthodox background find the evangelical church community a whole new experience. >> some are shocked. some think wow, i have only seen this in movies. >> along with the preaching of the gospel, worship and style of music is a big draw, too. >> come to church, we have music. >> gospel music? >> in addition to the main service, they have an active childrens' ministry that puts on performances about the life of christ and an entire church just to reach it will elderly. >> despite the tremendous success of moscow good news church, it faces a huge public problem. charismatic churches are often considered cults. >> they put laws on the books to restrict religious freedom. they view the churches as competitors,

one of the things the porn industry has been at the forefront of a lot of technology since, you know, thousands and thousands of years. actually, i found from a friend who works at nature, the science magazine, that the porn industry was at the forefront of business back in the days of pompei selling statues in markets, erotic statues, of course. and, um, and the porn industry has always been an innovator when it comes to technology. and the reason for that is because a lot of, um, governments and officials and religious leaders have always tried to suppress the porn industry, so they've actually had to figure out ways to make money and to reach consumers by going around, um, the rules of the day. and be you look at the printing press, um, you know, there was two of the most popular books in the early days of the printing press, one was, of course, the bible, and another one was, actually, essentially, erotic tales. so you can follow all the way through the porn industry when it came to dvds to cds to the internet n. the early days of the web, there were people that were using it for

agreement on a new bridge from utica to louisville will be in place, cementing indiana's place at the forefront of the public/private partnership movement. we will build the state's 3,000th mile of bike and hiking trails and reach our goal of a trail within 15 minutes of every hoosier. unknown to most citizens, the air and water of indiana is now the cleanest in living memory. in 2011, every indiana community met all national air quality standards for the first time in the history of the clean air act. [ applause ] last year we wiped out the last of a 550-case backlog of old and, therefore, less strict environmental permits and are now the only state completely current. our goal for 2012 is to maintain this status. and if national limits are lowered yet again, to find a way to meet those standards, too. we'll complete our successful overhaul of what was once america's worst welfare system when in february, the tenth and final region is converted to our reformed public/private system. backlogs have been slashed by 80%. timeliness and accuracy have soared above national averages. and last october

the request has come from the community, so i am honored to bring this to the forefront today. today, we will hear from both and the staff on this particular issue, and we also have a representative from the san francisco police department, should there be questions for them. without further ado, thank you, mr. chair. first up, we have the mta director, ed reiskin. >> good morning. very happy to be here. want to thank supervisors cohen -- supervisor cohen for her leadership and bringing forward an issue that is very important to us. since i am here, i want to reflect on and apologize for the rush hour this morning. we had a very unfortunate occurrence where we had a private vehicle drive down into the portal that disrupted all the subway activity for this morning. the police have arrested the individual who was driving the vehicle, and i say this not just because it is timely, but because i think it is indicative of the partnership we have between the police department and the mta. the police department folks work very expeditiously and quickly to book deal with the individual b

there was a time in which, when he stepped to the forefront because we did not focus on him until that time so following 2006, when the policy became an american military effort to pacify the violence, and stop the civil war that was breaking out, that would thereby spark an iraqi renaissance that would make switzerland proud. this is a situation where we had a strategy that did not depend on what we could accomplish, but that we could accomplish that was there by the iraqis to accomplish. it was to be accomplished by appealing to the iraqi people in terms that were appeasing, to make them like us and want to please us. to make them want -- to buy their loyalty, which is what the sunni awakening was. it was bribery on a large scale. it was a very fuzzy-headed policy and it brought such havoc to the personnel and the military as well as the civilians over there. it was not worth the effort. it assumed too much of their culture. this should have become apparent much sooner. >> you also talk about, when it comes to the war, you talk about the kagans, fred and kimberly kagan. because a lot

you have done a lot of things to be in the forefront. the modelling work that you are discussing here today, retrofitting or waste water treatment systems. you have really been among the leaders looking at those issues. i want to suggest that you take a look at this report to see what other cities are doing to continue to bolster your effort. my first goal is to think you for your work and give you support. i wanted to talk briefly about the importance of the modeling and really to step back and talk about why this is so critical. literally for thousands of years the foundation has been to assume that rivers in the future will behave the way of visions -- rivers in the past. that is no longer true. this is really the bedrocks of management. when this is not true, you can engage in strategies that you know our wise measures that are the smart thing to do. the other thing you can do is to develop better tools to make more specific decisions in the future. that is what your staff is working on. you need to step back and look at climate scena

i hope that we bring the issue of architectural barriers more to the forefront, because it is a key issue around aging in place. finally, health care. we now have more and more people living with hiv who are aging, and there are some unique issues around growing older, living with hiv, and some of it is learning. so we need to focus on that. and also the broader issue of hiv, we're going to be really struggling next year with the $4 $25 million -- $4.25 million it cut to the ryan white budget process. we have to fight to make our commitment. before i start bringing up some of our speakers, i want to give supervisor olague an opportunity to make some comments. supervisor olague: thank you to supervisor wiener and campos for giving me the opportunity speak tonight. i'm used to being on the side. members of the shack collaborative, which is the senior housing action collaborative. one of the issues we have raised is the time centered around the condition of seniors who are aging in place, particularly those who live in single room occupancy hotels. what i was funny when i was working as a se
