sense, we are trying to disrupt the historical pattern of under achievement, and we feel the best way to do that is to invest in the teachers in those classrooms and give them the best training we can give while we have this opportunity to have some funding. >> i appreciate you saying that, and i forgot about windows comment. goo -- linda's comment. you have significant dollars in the agenda, and that would help me tremendously. i was shocked, but i did not have time to get to you. if of was sent rain, that would been very beneficial to me. >> the original proposal we responded to have things you were supposed to do, and two of the largest things were to have an external partners for reform, which could been at the restructuring level, but is expected you will have large investments common and is the -- and large investments, and this looks particularly large, vico's sandford cisco -- and san francisco has one of the largest. when you see something like this, is significant it is divided between schools. >> can i make the request? there are specific and tenants that need to be taken care of

would we say we encourage you to do it? i think they brought up a good question about the placement of the program, so if you are enrolled in a program in school a, and you want your kids to go to school b, are they able to transition to another school? what does that look like bond? i am assuming you are only offering id at some schools. is that correct? >> every school. >> every school. >> they are already there, so these children are already sitting in a school, so all we are doing is saying individuals born in these terms, we are going to highlight you are younger than the typical child in your classroom. we have already had children at this time. >> you are not looking -- we are looking at all classrooms. gooi am thinking when the septer 2 state kicks in, that is the 90 day kind of sustained -- thing, so what you're looking at is that every classroom has the potential to be a tkk, because we will have some kids in the classroom. is that correct? >> every classroom has the potential. i think most kids would determine whe

it is almost impossible to do. those are my thoughts. director reiskin: i do not know if your list meant to ex glued exploring a low-income option -- chairman nolan: i did mean to say that. director reiskin: ok, good. i wanted to talk to the young leader of power. he pointed something out -- this is not just us all of a sudden deciding that it wouldn't it be nice to hand this out. the explanation is there is a cut in school bus service that is out of our control. the school board would tell us is out of their control. there is something new that has arisen. it is not just us trying to give something away. this is our responding to something new. that is an important point that was brought up today. i am sorry i did not mention it earlier. chairman nolan: i understand the issue that was raised. there might be summer -- some ways around that. i understand a number of the kids in the city do not take advantage of the lunch program because they are feeling stigmatized by it. one final thing -- how many fun of things that i said? -- how many f

>> they need to do something. i think it is very clear that if members of congress come in and say we want to build infrastructure here is the way we the we can do it we have some ideas. i am eager to work with them. we have this great idea for putting teachers back in the classroom. that is not what we're hearing. we're hearing that there big ideas are ones we're already doing. they had given me a list of the republican job creation ideas. but passed it. it is great we're passing them. we put them forward, i expect bipartisan support. i think it's going to be good for the american economy. but it's not going to meet the challenge of 9 percent unemployment, or an economy that is currently weakening. it's not enough. patent reform, very important for our long-term competitiveness. there's nobody out there who actually thinks that that's going to immediately fill the needs of people who are out of work, or strengthen the economy right now. so what i've tried to do is say, here are the best ideas i've heard. not just

this was a fun story for me to do. sending paper bills to your customers can take a big bite out of your profit margin. here now are five ways to cut your invoicing costs, courtesy of business news daily dotcom. optimize the use of bill batching. if you send fewer envelopes, you'll pay less in postage costs. make sure that all bills for the same customer are sent in one envelope. fix your uncertified address. nearly one quarter of all mail that goes through the u.s. postal system contains an error. if the address on your mail is not recognized, it will be mailed at full rate, and not qualify for presorted discounts. leverage postal discounts. the usps grants significant discounts for properly preparing and presorting mail. so make sure to do that. maximize marketing opportunities. use part of your paper statements as marketing vehicles. this can be an effective way to bring in more revenue. convert to electronic billing. sending your bills via e-mail, fax or the web is the most effective way to avoid the cost of u.s. ma

where to go to do that, where to go to get assistance. we are also a resourced. hen we do see people in our office, many of them are a year or two out from even opening their business, so we will ask them what their credits for is, have they done their business plans, do they know what they're capital needs are going to be, how much money they have, how much money they are going to need to open their business. based upon those questions, we will direct them to the sba for workshops, courses. there is other entities that also provide workshop courses score as well in terms of helping to write business plans. also helping to educate the distinction between the micro lender, our bank, and our larger financial institutions and how those lending -- what is the difference in how this entities will lend, in addition to the sba loans that are available. also in response to the economic crisis, which hit a couple of months after we open our doors, the mayor reinstated the revolving loan fund, and we partnered with tmc working solutions, which is a micro lender, to provide

there is more work to do. there is no doubt that some of the >> -- some of the connections pakistan intelligence has with certain individuals are troubling. i have said that publicly and privately to pakastani officials as well. they see their security interests threatened by an independent afghanistan, in part because they think it will ally itself to india, and pakistan still considers india their mortal enemy. part of what we want to do is action get pakistan to realize that a peaceful approach toward india would be in everybody's interests, and would help pakistan actually develop. one of the biggest problems we have in pakistan and now is poverty, illiteracy, a lack of development, a civil institutions that are not strong enough to deliver for the pakastani people. in that environment, you have seen extremism grow. you have seen militancy growth that does not just threaten our efforts in afghanistan, but also threatens the pakastani government and the pakastani people as well. trying to get the reorientati

what i am about to do today? ever the answer has been no for too many days in a row, i know i need to change something. remembering that i'll be dead soon is the most important tool i've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death. leaving only what is truly important -- remembering that you are going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. you are already naked. there is no reason not to follow your heart. about a year ago, i was diagnosed with cancer. i had a scan at 7:30 in the morning and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. i didn't even know what a pancreas was. doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable and that i should expect to live no longer than three to six months. my doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in or, which is doctor's code for prep

(laughter) >> there is cynicism in politics? >> i didn't know that. >> rose: shocked. >> i actually believe that, though. i think there should be a national service. >> rose: i assume you believe most of the positions candidate morris took. >> one way or another. some of them are taken from speeches or from articles my father wrote. >> rose: now there's somebody you can believe in. >> well, in 1979 he talked about the argument that if you woke up tomorrow in saudi arabia and said "we're out of oil" we'd find a way to power our cars. we would find a way to independently transpor

it was not to do everything. it was to stimulate the economy, and we took that word "stimulate" in a very specific way, and we stimulated our neighborhoods and our art and our culture, and we stimulated our job ability. that is what this whole program was about, and i think is another example of how san francisco does it not only the right way but even a better way, so thank you very much for everyone coming here to celebrate. [applause] >> thank you, mayor. next, we want to introduce the acting undersecretary. thank you very much. from the department of energy. >> assistant secretary tree you have to keep your washington vocabulary correct. that's right. anyway, thank you. thank you, mayor, and thanks to the cultural center for inviting us. it is a wonderful opportunity to see how san francisco has been created in the way it has been able to use its recovery act money. the recovery act, of course, as the mayor said, was designed to stimulate economic growth, and clean energy, of course, is a key part of that, and

what we want to do is not the development forward. we don't want to put fences around parking lots and we don't believe this legislation does that. i think i heard a little bit of confusion in terms of what is in the existing code on the restrictions. it is very clearly stated that no discounted parking rate shall be permitted for weekly, monthly, or specific times. what we're doing is crossing that out. in terms of what we end up with, we are more than happy to continue at already begun a dialogue with the surface parking lot operators on that. that has been going on since i was at the mta. it is an issue we think we are addressing in this legislation. we think it is an important section. we want to make sure they have more information on that. my understanding is that the project is going to be a significant need and remind be able to open up the market. there are policy rationales. we're more than a adjusting -- when they approved code changes, those will apply to our project if they haven't gotten their final ones yet. we want to p

i think courts are designed to try to do that. n the other hand, the prosecution would try to bring back all of those memories, end when mayor giuliani, former mayor giuliani came to testify. he was, he was determined to personalize the impact of 9/11. i wasn't in the courtroom at that time. but certainly the web site has coverage and footage of horrifying images, and you just, you know, figure out how to find the person behind this excruciating experience and who was this man. and that's really what i tried to focus on. >> and it's been ten years since, um, september 11th, so have we learned anything from this trial as a country? what can we still learn from this case? >> well, sadly, we haven't learned that we can actually have a trial in the civilian court. instead, you know, there's going to be this move to try people like khalid sheikh mohammed in guantanamo. yes, this trial was extremely expensive, and the government as far as i know the amount is in the millions of dollars so, yes, it was very expensive. on the other hand, s

it's on the person to do it. ey got to go through this to learn. >> if you're going to break the law, you're going to do it. >> got your mind set. >> people tried to talk to us. people try to, you know what i'm saying, work with us. we wanted to do it. we wanted to do. we wanted to rob. we wanted to use drugs, wanted to sell drugs. wanted to tote guns. it's what we wanted to do. >> does going to adult prison scare you more than anything? >> no, to be honest, i'd probably rather be in adult prison than here. this is daycare. people are going to argue and fight and stuff but prison is more for me than this place is. i ain't never been there, but from what my dad told me. >> stuff pops off in prison, it's brief. then right back to nothing. >> but out is where you really want to be. >> yeah, out. >> i ain't going to prison. i don't care what nobody says. >> i'd rather be free, but if i had to choose between here and across the street, i'd probably cuff up and let them take me over there. >> coming up, two offenders le

the building is going to be open to all the elements. i do not even know when we are going to start -- december, january? the building is going to be open. the heat is going to be cut off. this is going to add time and a lot of money. i would be worried about setting a schedule, working late and making sure they are back on. that is a little unreasonable. >> i just have one question. would you be in charge of scheduling the construction compan? >> i would think so. yes, we do have a timeline we are supposed to meet, and the longer this goes on it is going to be difficult. >> so you can accommodate various elements. >> every project is different. this is a lot different than dealing with a single family. >> can you talk about the timeline, setting aside the loans. just the work. it's the building was vacant, how long the you anticipate a were common -- do you anticipated the work? >> there is a dearth the house to be excavated. -- dirt that has to be excavated. this is an intense job. goit is not a walk in the park. >> this include the excavat

we want to do that. we have to recognize that today 50% of our trade is with european union countries, so it's in our interest not just to keep the markets open and have a say about the regulation of those markets, but to further open them up, and that's what we should be pushing in the european union and what we are pushing. as i say, there's a case for referendum if ever this parliament proposes giving away more powers, otherwise, it's clear what the country wants us to do, and that is to stay in the european union, but to retrieve some powers and to make sure we have a better relationship with europe. that is the commitment that we have. >> [inaudible] >> thank you. mr. speaker, the prime minister must recognize when talking about greece, italy, spain, portugal, ireland, its only growth making a difference to the financial crisis -- why does he not advocate those policies ever growth within the half of the debate? in that way, give a lead to the british people about why europe's so important? >> well,

i want my child to do two years or do i want my child could do one year? and those things that are very clear, what we need to work through, what are the numbers? >> what you're hearing from the board are things for you to consider as you are developing a more solid program. one last comment. as we are thinking about having them leave it to your calendar program, is there not an option for us to have them be two-year 3 k programs? having them stay one more year and going and to convert instead of having them do two years of candor? and we are trying to get our families to do prepay. if we want them to do pre k and we offer them to stay longer, the auction is, -- at the option is that you're no longer eligible. and did not have this transitional so that the kids that would normally be there anyway. now there is a cut off. can we also consider doing the longer pre k versus an earlier kinder? >> i wonder why we didn't do it this way, but i think commissioner wynns answered the question, as a compromise to make sure the district kept ada. >> we can't do predict

they have nothing better to do. boehner tweeted, we can't wait for senate democrats to approve more than a dozen house-passed bills. eric cantor played with the twitter and said, we can't wait for the senate democrats to start doing their jobs and pass the forgotten 15 house passed bipartisan bills. excuse me? the 15 bills cantor is talking about are all about tax cuts and deregulation. they do nothing. zero to create jobs in this country. rnc chairman priebus tweeted we can't wait to make barack obama a one-term president. pretty deep, huh? remember, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell said the very same thing last year. it's been his mission. republican leadership continues to play around with twitter instead of finding any solutions for millions of unemployed americans. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell led a filibuster, a record filibuster again against 400,000 teachers, police officers and firefighters last week. and on sunday, the gentleman from kentucky acted like it wasn't his problem. >> i certainly

i know you referred to is this something separate from what our district is doing? are they also being implemented as well? >> that is really helpful. i would love to see that. the data shows they would have a significant amount of impact on reform, and we want to use them. >> i can refer you to a simple study of this. you will see awhile longer a longitudinal study. literacycollaterative.org. you will see the report. >> we will send you about a report by e-mail, so no need to log on, but just a general comment. if you remember, the theory of action is we need to disrupt the historical threat you're a good you are going to see some research-based, nationally vetted, and given the seal of programming that is going to come forward, so this is probably not the last one you will see, and the questions you're asking are critically important, but in the general sense, we are trying to disrupt the historical pattern of under achievement, and we feel the best way to do that is to invest in the teachers in those classrooms and give them the best training we can give while we

you have to sort of play more theatrically. but i dohink what he's introduced is a -- the idea, which is a core philosophical idea, simplify the tax rates, lower taxes,ake things radically simpler, and you are beginning to see, you know, a serious debate on some of these issues. >> tom? >> well, i think he's indisputably charming. there's no question about that. and he's very articulate when he's on that stage. and it's one more manifestation of how the republicans are crashing around. but before we get too far down the road with the des moines register debate, i mean, the poll, we have to remember that going into the final weekend in '04, howard dean was the leading candidate. everybody thought that he was going to win. i was in a hotel coffee shop in 1980 when george bush 41 looked at me and said, i got the big mo. he had defeated ronald reagan. pat roberts are won in iowa. they haven't cast a vote there. they haven't organized a caucus yet. so this one is up for grabs. i think what this poll tells us most of all is that the republica

available to us. we do a lot of distance education in alaska not because we necessarily want to, but because we have to. that's where the expertise is. and if we can beam a teacher in the from one of the urban areas that can be that expert, then that works for us. it allows us some flexibility. what my amendment would do would insert the language from your school accountability improvements act to provide the flexibility from highly qualified teacher requirements for multi-subject teachers in remote rural schools, it would allow the districts that are unable to meet highly qualified requirements by placing teachers in each classroom who are highly qualified in each core subject that they teach, but they can meet the requirements by providing instruction by a highly qualified teacher via distance learning. so you could have that highly qualified teacher who specialized in, let's say, math. and working with the teacher in the classroom in that village who is not highly qualified in math but is highly qualifie

there's a couple of things we have to do. first, i have to develop a leader development program that allows them to be even broader than we are now. we require so much more of our young people today and i think if we understand we're going to broaden their capabilities, it will excite them. we also tell them that we need you to help us to develop a future army. the captains and majors of today are the ones who develop the concepts and the capabilities that we have to have in the future. i need your experience. >> they're shaping you now through the network integration. >> exactly. so they need to shape us and we need them to do that. so it's important that they take the mantle of now leading us in 2020 and beyond of the type of military we have, and we need our best, and we need our most experienced, and we need our combat-tested leaders to lead us through this in the next few years. >> how are you, though, in a time of declining resources, obviously training curriculums are going to get tighter, folks aren't going to be doing

i believe it is the right thing to do. for the past nine years the cab companies have to rate increases and recently won meter increase. as you know, we have already been paying high your gate fees and higher gas prices. not to mention, tips to the cashier, dispatcher. therefore, i urge of this committee and the full board of supervisors not only to stop them from charging 5% to the drivers, but to also ask them to reimburse the 5% we have already been paying. i wanted to thank all of the supervisors who voted several months ago to stop charging the 5% to become drivers. supervisor marc farrell, in the past cab companies were over tried to drink -- overcharging for several years in terms of davies. things to me, they are dropping this. therefore, please vote in favor of this proposal. the bottom line is this, the bottom line is the cabdrivers should not pay the 5% fee. supervisors, i cannot buy the argument that cap companies cannot afford to pay. how come? they're making over $1,500 per month from medallion. they are payin

we need to look at a funding source. i do not want to be able to say we will do it this year, but next year we will not have the funds for it. if we do this, we need to stick with it. i am willing to support it. >> i also grew up on his muni. i ride every day and when i get on the bus, i see a yacht -- i see a lot of youth debt in the back of the bus. they cannot afford it. they say they do that or walk to the mission district. that is a long walk. i understand and am sympathetic with it. it must be sustainable. we cannot start and stop and then start and then stop. if we want to implement a program, we need to make it one that we can maintain. we do not want to be a policy board that says, this is a pipeline to the criminal-justice system. you are committing a crime by getting on the back of the bus. we do not want to be that type of system to. we want to help the youth get the education they need to get where they need to go. that is important for it is important to you as a young person, a citizen of this city, to be able

to be a positive thing. i do not see how it is worse going we can to we can and saying we were going to sell it we can, but we will do it next. the 440 billion euros was agreed to in july and was largely agreed to of the past several weeks. it is not enough. how much is enough? getting a resolution to this problem at containing the fallout is not going to shocked many people in the financial markets if>> getting out of this is good. -- if greece defaults or les the union. >> this is been a fascinating panel and provocative. i hear at at least one major consensus. -- one major consensus point. whether this plea to a currency breakup are continuing the european alignment, but the current resources available, i am hearing everybody could concur on that. >> if we are going to insist on shoring up the currency. >> agreed. give me your best projection in terms of what is going to happen out of the eu activities this coming weekend and what should we realistically expect coming out of cannes in a few weeks? >> i will ju

this is what i'd like to do. agree with it or not, but i'm going to try and persuade you that i'm right and hey're wrong because i think government does have a role to play in lifting people up. >> congressman, this is the question i have. it was 20 years ago, big anniversary down in little rock this weekend for president clinton in his first run, you know, they had the big get-together, and when he annoued for the presidency back in 1992, with the idea, look, i got an economic plan, but what i really got is a vision. >> yeah. >> this president has had some big swings at economic recovery, and they haven't panned out. and now he's a warrior for the middle class. who's he fighting for? does he seem like enough of a fighter? >> david, i think, first the slogan yes we can is still applicable. yes, we can. will the other side help us make it happen? what you're finding is that the president has encountered an obstacle all the way through to try to get it done. but i think he is still as determined to make it happen. i

it goes back to what you raised earlier, what are we going to do? the reality is that schools, because they are standard, will be the gathering planes after the major disasters. so the partnership with schools have to be very good because we may move in with them for a long time in some neighborhoods. after the firestorm, oakland tech was waiting to get rid of the people who lived there for about six weeks before we could find enough shelter and find out which people were chronically homeless and which were disaster victims. that to el little bit of time and money. but there may not be a difference in a major disaster. i think that the police departments had to work closely with the community, and we have been trying to organize neighborhood of large groups. it is exactly what you do when getting ready for a disaster tech. we have been looking at doing cross-training. if you have a group that comes together, and never had a large, it is also the center you will probably get together to be prepared to be self-sufficient for 72 hours. one of the things

that's a large hydrant collider is arranged to do. t has only one mass-produce out there and is supposed to find out what it is. if u.s. people before they turned on the large hydrant collector what they thought the massive econ memos would've thought it's a value that is not yet been tested. without any additional data, they would've said if he really believed that was right, you wouldn't be able to serve. you would say these are not the mass i thought it should be yet. they haven't explored it yet. one but still disturbing because until we have experiments, no one knows the answers. so you could say i think the mass might be 116 ged, but you know i could be wrong. so you'll feel a little safer if there's a little bit of a firm with more values. the fact is a lot of values are now not possible. so it is zoning in on the beach and we interesting. over the course of the next year we might actually know the answer to whether the conventional, simplest version of the hicks affair. one of things i talk about is why we did this search. we d

whenever you have to do. then she got me into the interrogation room and she said to me, you say you have education. where did you go to school, high school? public-school of new york. this does that add up. i skipped two grades before college. where did you go to college? how did you pay for college? you went to grad school? how did you pay for law school? what did that have to do with my case? i was just going with the flow. finally, she said to me, it is my professional obligation to inform you -- not only as an attorney but as a registered nurse acting as a dentist -- you may have a bipolar disorder. she said, it is nothing bad. something -- sometimes people create alternate realities for themselves as a coping mechanism for how to deal with stress. i was like, are you saying i am crazy? she did not believe anything that i said. she said, when it comes to the judges, do not bring up anything about your education. that was the second day in a three-day experience. i figured, if i had these degrees -- and it

to. and we will also do a jobs audit. we have an independent third- party agency that will be able to go out and look at how the money was used about what jobs were created, and they will talk with some of the businesses and get an honest count. we want to be transparent. we want to be accountable. we want people to know what happened with this. it depends on a number of dollars is the short answer. the second question, we have not received much push back from anybody. we have received a lot of support. and there's a lot of -- a lot of excitement and denthusiasm about this. it is a sort of fundamental tenet of what america is about. we expect there to be bipartisan support. historically, we have been -- had bipartisan support. they are simply pragmatic solutions to real problems that affect real people every day. >> there is another tweet to ask you how you came up with the $5 as opposed to something smaller, like a dollar. where did you vote -- come up with the $5 figure? >> there was not a lot of magic to it. that is a g

i need to get my needs met as well. i do not have time. we cannot get this job prolonged any longer. i would like the tenants to take over negotiating in good faith, and i would like some back. i would like to move forward and not continue. commissioner peterson: you cannot figure out a way to get these tenants back in a within six months? >> i can figure a way. it is simply move fast. but like david said, and anybody who has been through construction, things happen. it is our interest to get them back. they are tenants. we want to get them back. i just cannot say that i can guarantee it. commissioner hwang: depending on how the vote goes, aren't you better off having a vacant building for six months? >> i am better off having in vacant for as little as possible. commissioner peterson: nobody addressed this from your side, which is the proposal of shifting people into the spaces that are available when, for example, as mr. collier just stay put -- if after six months, work is not done, but you could have a timelines of the units that are av

their ability to show that they are doing things in an unconventional way in terms of all hands on deck and marsh marshalling all the resources to have the environmental review done on a very aggressive schedule in a way that shows community engagement. those that are on deck is really a testimony to the city family's dedication to the effort. it is that type of performance that gives our donors the confidence it will be done in the san francisco way. >> [inaudible]. >> mike martin with the city office of economic and workforce development. good morning, thanks for coming in today. i want to follow up sort of the prior two speakers by saying a lot of our focus today was on taking a step outside of any specific step forward or announcement to give a preview of what is coming this fall. from our perspective i think we've started to see the pictures of what this event is coming together on the water and i think it really sort of symbolizes what we are feeling at the city in terms of putting together the rest of the want picture. when we say the rest of the event picture i think it goes bey

whatever you are going to do is fine with me, because we are going to disagree. what ever you got to do, it is not important for me to get it. i am just saying that for me. i think we are going to disagree on this. >> let's move on to item 4b. r.f. i think we are talking apples and oranges. if you give them notice. i would like to move on. >> item 4b, the review of recent activities. >> good evening. i have no recent activities to report this evening other than to say they have received complaints regarding occupy sf, and we are taking those complaints and investigating them. thank you. >> do you have any numbers in terms of how many complaints have been filed in connection with occupied san francisco? >> i can tell you generally the nature of the allegations, issues of force and property. >> next item. >> the commission report. >> i have nothing to report this evening. commissioners salmos? 4b. >> items for future meetings. >> do we have an announcement for next meeting? >> we all have our next meeting on november 2 at city hall. >> commissioners, we have an age
