>> i don't think the extremists from the outset, i don't say too many, but they were definitely there and they were provoking the government to respond. as i say, the government has made the mistake of in some cases using excessive force so it became a regime -- >> rose: you make it sound sort of like they went too far, but this is a different kind of excessive force what this government has been doing. the world community stands aside when a government is doing that. it is not just excessive force. this is an extraordinary killing of your own people. >> this is an extraordinary killing which has been going on, and for that reason we have put a military mission in which would be able to tell us exactly who has done the killing, and the stories they have been coming up with are not so uniformly anti-government. some horrible things have been done by the opposition. our understanding of the situation and what needs to be done is that everybody must be responsible for their crimes and we need to have objective information about what is going on. that is why we have been supporting the co

by selecting the alternatives that were inadequate from the outset, the eir prevents people from beingcted judge whether that would be a better solution. i would also like to say that we do trust in you as our elected representatives to do the right thing in these matters. supervisor mar and president chiu. i know you use the same consultants to promote this project, but we trust that you will be independent and maintain your integrity. i know you never received campaign contributions from one man and his wife. we trust you will make it good. president chiu: thank you very much. i should mention that there is a board world that prohibits comments being directed to individual members, so i'd like to ask folks that make commons to direct them to the board. thank you. next speaker. >> good evening, board of supervisors, and thank you for doing it tonight. it is a very important issue. i thank you for -- i want to say that i am opposed to this project. i ask you to look at it objectively. i am a frequent user of golden gate park and a native san franciscan, and i never lived consistently i

and just wanted to make the point at the outset that it is insufficient to talk about the border region being secure without specifying precisely where you are talking about. in terms of our preliminary findings on the objective measures, i will just focus on a couple here. terror related activity, falling 9/11, a lot was made about are perceived the vulnerability at the u.s.-mexico border. this was one of the major driving forces behind -- this was an additional driving force behind increasing staffing and infrastructure at our border with mexico. a specific interest in the report or what we call special interest aliens. these are countries that are either designated state sponsors of terrorism, such as iran, countries were terrorist organizations are known to operate, such as colombia or pakistan. according to the latest data we have been able to focus on, arrest by border patrols increased between 2007 and 2011. during fiscal year 2011, the number of arrests was down to 380, a decline when compared with 2010. the trend line june 3, 2012 shows they are down another 32%. the majority o

i just want to note, in terms of my take on this at this point or where i am, as i indicated at the outsetthis discussion, i do want to be supportive of this measure, and i am leaning in that direction. i think that the conversation that we had certainly made me feel more comfortable about a number of things. i still would like to, you know, if it is ok, once we get to the point of moving this forward, i think we should move it forward. i would appreciate maybe not having a vote per se today, moving it forward without a recommendation, but i do have more of a level of comfort with this. i still have a couple of questions that i need to get my arms around. the one thing that i do think for me remains an issue, and it is not an issue that is actually specific to the charter amendment, is the question of how this fits with the gross receipts measure. i think that, from the way i see it, we have two very important issues here. we have the issue of housing which is of critical significance. and then web]láñ have the othere of reforming our tax system, which is something that i very much want to

policy, and the city feels very confident that we will prevail on that matter, and as i mentioned at the outset, this could be removed in one way or another. the state legislature actually has advanced a statewide ban on plastic bags. just last week, they passed a key committee in the senate. it goes to one more committee, senate appropriations. ab 1998. if that is successful, there will be a statewide ban starting next year, and this will essentially require that the entire state have a model that is similar, so this should give you an idea of the amount of cities behind this, the number of municipalities, a lot of the large manufacturers, and grocers association. they feel this is different than a city by city by city resolution, so this is kind of like where ab1998 is. it will hopefully be on the governor's desk sometime in august. that is the legal case. a quick preview. i am happy to answer any questions and take any recommendations that you may have on how we can continue our outreach campaign. it really is a continuing ongoing discussion. we are not done. we also have the restaurants to

president reagan was very clear from the outset in his deals with the russians. you may remember this chestnut. >> mr. gorbachev, tear down that wall. (cheers and applause) (laughter) >> jon: that, my friends, is how it's done. that's how you take a few seconds of obama video, turn it into a rich soup of decontextualized imagery designed to bypass the frontal cortex and go straight to the amygdalas of old people. (laughter) triggering cascades of dopamine and giving them all a giant reagan boner. (laughter) that's why they' (cheers and applause). >> jon: welcome back! you know, there's been a lot of talk recently about bullying and the people who have it coming. (laughter) but the struggles of one group of bullying targets has not been recognized: presidential candidates. both have had campaign rallies marred by a variety of hecklers. >> you need somebody... (shouting) >> it was not... it's my turn to speak, you've had your turn. hold on my friend. >> we are... (shouting) (boos) >> mitt romney, you're a racist! mitt romney, you're a racist! mitt romney, you're a

at the outset, we need to address the immediate problems with the buildings. this includes challenges with site security, when authorization of the buildings, and addressing the threat of imminent collapse in several buildings as well. the buildings, over time, have been gutted by the thieves and elements. our projection scope is designed to repair the damage and modernize the system that have been stolen or broken completely. all of our work will be consistent with the secretary stated for historic preservation. and generally, buildings north of 20th street, were historically offices, and will go back to office use. we anticipate there will be and to their retail, some restaurants, and a return to some of the original amenities. the buildings out of 20 street will remain production-oriented with ancillary retail. we anticipate also to have arts and education-related uses. over all, this is very much designed to create a pedestrian thoroughfare feel through the street. i will run through each of the building quickly and specifically what kinds of uses we antic

it was not until later that we learned this was a plan, obstructionism was the plan from the outset. ing to a recent book by robert draper, the author stated in a meeting the night of inauguration, according to draper, republican leaders from paul ryan to eric cantor to kevin mccarthy, mccarthy is reported to have said if you act like you are a minority, you are going to be in the minority. "we have to challenge them on every single bill and challenge them on every single campaign." newt gingrich, who was also there, said, and he was prophetic, "you will remember this as the day the seeds of 2012 were sewn." mitch mcconnell said, "the single most important we want to achieve is for president obama to be a one-term president" -- not to get us out of this recession, not to promote jobs, not to do the things that needed to be done, but make barack obama a one-term president. and, folks, their discipline is amazing. they have never let up. but neither has my guy, neither has president barack obama. he has not given up. he continues to be driven by the character of his convictions, and, fo

they deliberately maintain anonymity, at least at the outset.'t think of a more magnificent gift than to be given additional years of life and that's what it is. >> reporter: don't think cheney's gone soft. when it comes to politics he's as confrontational as ever, even taking a shot at john mccain for choosing sarah palin as his running mate. >> i like governor palin. i've met her, i know her. attractive candidate. but based on her background, she'd only been a governor for two years, i don't think she passed that test. >> reporter: being ready? >> being ready to take over. and i think that was a mistake. >> reporter: and much harsher words for president obama. >> i think he's been one of our weakest presidents. i fundamentally disagree with him philosophically. i'd be hard-put to find any democratic president that i've disagreed with more than barack obama. >> reporter: really? worse than jimmy carter, in your perspective? >> yes. >> reporter: it's cheney who's come under wire as architect of the iraq war but he accused obama of blowing it in

i also want to say at the outset this budget reflects countless hours of work. a lot of work behind the scenes. in addition to all the neighborhood budget meetings that we had, there were numerous, numerous staff meetings. kate howard's done a wonderful job with her staff. they've met with all of the different departments -- [applause] this is her first full year budget working with us and she's done a great job and her staff has done a great job. it isn't just putting numbers together, it's listening to each of the finance personnel from each department, it is engaging in the numerous meetings that we have with community, it's engaging with staff of the various supervisors, the non-profits. we had special meetings help, it was health and human services and housing and homeless advocates and others. she was there and her staff was there at every turn making sure that we listened and it reflected in both number-crunching and challenging what the priorities are and so forth. also want to give a shout-out to steve cava. steve, wonderful with all your work.

taxes actually only offered a meager source of revenue, especially at the outset of the hostilities, although the fir first -- these simply didn't raise a lot of money. partly because southern custom offices where most of the money was coming in didn't send their revenues to d.c. after president buchanan took office. the august act, second ma ril tariff -- coffers until we had a tax collection mechanism. income taxes raised only about $20 million in 1864 and $60 million in 1865. despite this yawning gap between tax receipts and federal expenditures, which was about $1.3 billion in 1865, even these relatively low taxes troubled people at the time. the london times scoffed at the union's efforts saying, quote, if this mosquito cloud of taxation should ever settle upon the states of the north, it will be more effective than any fugitive slave law in preventing anyone, black or white, from crossing the borer states. lincoln would have probably liked to use progressive income and property taxes more than he did. when he was in illinois state legislature he had pushed unsuccessfully for gr

obstructionism was a plan from the outset. to the recent book, by the respected author robert draper, he stated in a meeting the night of inauguration and according to draper and republican leaders with kevin mckarthy and they gathered and mccarthy in the book is reported to have said if you act like you're a minority, you're going to stay a minority. we've got to challenge them on every single bill and challenge them on every single campaign. newt gingrich who was also there said and he was prophetic, you will remember this as the day the seas of 2012 were sewn. well, there were seeds of obstruction. later, mitch mcconnell just said it out loud in talking about lessons he learned from history, he said, quote, the single most important thing we want to achieve is for president obama to be a one-term president. not to get us out of this recession, not to promote jobs, not to do the things that needed to be done, but make barack obama a one-term president. and, folks, the discipline is amazing. they have never let up, but neither

and at the outset, as i said, i believe this election will come down to character, conviction and vision and it willot oday president obama think it'sv will kick off a two-day swing through virginia. >> overseas there are reports of another horrific mass killing in syria where activists say more than 200 people were murdered by government forces. opposition groups describe the massacre as ethnic cleansing. richard engel has been reported in the region and got an exclusive look at the site of another unspeakable crime. >> in this small farming village in northwest syria, villagers say a terrible massacre took place last december. anti-government protests just erupted in this area and syrian troops rolled in to stop them. these cousins had defected from the syrian army and feared the troops would be looking for them. >> t it for us. >> so they fled to this steep, narrow valley a few miles out of town. it seemed like a perfect hiding place. but it would become a death trap as other frightened villagers followed their lead. they thought they were safe and for the first few hours they were. b

environment for the occupant, and not to add to the cost of construction, they incorporate these ideas at the outset. however, some applicants have requested some flexibility. when they first technology requirements, after some discussion between dbi and the code advisory committee, department of the environment, a compromise was suggested. that is what is reflected in this document. the compromise is that there would be a simplified submittal at the time of application. it really boils down to the information -- >> that site to submit all is in c1. this encompasses every different type of project type green buildings apply to in san francisco. it has been reviewed by dbi, a code advisory committee, and we reached out to members of the public expressed concern that last meeting to clarify their concerns and by and large their concerns related to how and uses of non-potable water are regulated in san francisco and relate to other ordinances administered by the public utilities commission. it is not part of chapter 13. i'm happy to answeri think we a thank you for your patience. i know some stakeholde

this is one of those topics where the plan went awry almost from the outset and jefferson was the leader of a political party and was immensely influential. having to -- for being so brief and being so brief in particular about executive power and hence putting all sorts of important decisions like the one about presidential succession, specifically in the hands of the president. i would say that if you wanted to justify the system we have, and wanted to say, what is the role of the president, and we're thinking about should the president be making detailed decisions about how to structure the bailout? should the president be deciding monetary policy? quite possibly no. but one powerful argument that can be made in favor of the quite brief and spare system we have that puts so much stress on the identity of the president is that it creates a role for the president that maybe somebody can do. and one of the things i think specialists separations of powers and specialists in executive powers tend to underrate the insight on which chief justice taft's opinion on the united states is built.

as you said at the outset 9 libor rate is the benchmark for trillions of dollars of loans to anyone frommeowners to big corporations. and there's not evidence at the moment that those people were hurt. and if anything, actually, the way the banks were manipulating t had the effect of at least marginally reducing the interest rates that these people were paying. but as with anything in trading, for any time there is a winner in a trade there's also a loser it is basically a zero sum game so to the degree that the trader its at barclays and hedge funds in other banks that barclays was cole uding with to-- colluding with to artificially set this rate, there inevitably were traders on the other side of those transactions that were getting hurt. now it is, the argument that the banks are going to make is well, this really was basically a victimless crime because you know, the individuals and businesses that have loans pegged to libor were actually seeing their interest rate goes down. but probably the biggest victim of this is actually the financial system as a whole and the integrity of the
