i'm not going to do anything. i'm going to go to jail. >> but i need you just to stay by the bench there, please. "what are you wearing at the moment? my boxers and tank top i sleep in." >> please don't read it. i know what it says. >> and then you sent this, john. is that appropriate in any way? you know, that's against the law right there. >> is it? >> to transmit that to somebody you think is underage. yes, it is. >> i didn't transmit it, though. no, i didn't transmit that to her. may i ask -- >> "do you see my pic in the chat window? yeah. you think you would like that in you? how big is it? well, you saw. go get a can of coke. dang, will it hurt? a little. yes, at first." now, what conclusion am i supposed to draw here, john? >> i can't say anything. i'm done. i'm fried. >> well, there's -- >> please arrest me. >> pretty much from the get-go babst seems to realize that 12 different things can result from his showing up and none of them are good. >> there's one thing you've got to know first. >> but when i tell

they're doing what they are to be doing. so by way of ringing mary kay appear, let me just tell you that we were thrilled this morning to hear that we have received two of the five newspaper endorsements so far in this state, which is terrific. [applause] only five given so far. we received two of them considering that come from the margin of error when i started this effort in new hampshire. and now we're sitting in third place. just overtook ron paul for third place in new hampshire. i can feel the energy in this stadium. you know, when physics began to take over, there's no way that it's going to turn back and i feel so they can physics once it begins you can't stop it. and i feel it moving to the end of december on into early january and peaking right around january. why is that important? because it's an important critical event and the entire country happening at january 10. before i collect mary kay, you will have a chance to change history. if you start to argue that the election of 2012 will be the most important in

it is something to do after school. you usually kind of work your way up here eventually, it was just the young people that were doing all the out reach, and they understood that community building was an essential aspect of everything that they did, that if we were not able to bring in every youth and make them feel comfortable in the space we were in having that they would eventually lead or drop out, and i think we were able to retain a really high retention rate of young people because of that lesson that i have learned. it has also carried through in all the campaign work that i have been involved in. the second lesson is probably a very familiar lesson for everyone in his room as well, and that is the importance of coalition building. my first year, i ran

i will be glad to do that. we needed to get this out to start assessing how contacting out would be used to achieve this project, and that is the first project in sending this to the union. >> it sounds reasonable to the fact that it there for more material for the upcoming budget considerations for the next year, that would be terrific. >> commissioners? additional questions? >>thank you, panel. >> any public comment on item number six? >> hello, again. this is a very important topic. i want to thank the questions from the commissioners. you are nibbling from -- nibbling on the problem from outside, because it is very complex. i want to address comments about other departments. you would be amazed to find out who has more stuff. they need to find out exactly the same thing you do. i think when you list the library, dbi, and lord knows who else of the city, i think we of the world's biggest rfp. let us make it really clear, scanning is not indexing if you cannot retrieve the data, what good is it? you have to ha

to last. i am convinced we can do it. i am not overly confident in the way we are going, but i think the calamity is if we care about anybody, we have to avoid this major crisis where 2008 is going to look rather minor, and i think that is what we are moving toward. why in the world can we not agree at least on changing our attitude on spending all of this money overseas and try to take care of some of this at home? what? you mean -- when? right now? this minute? i describe having a transition. my budget takes care of them. you talk about when we have a free society once again proved how it will be taking care of? we will look at how the country survived before 1965. [applause] when i worked in the county hospital in 1962, $3 an hour. when i got in my medical practice, $5 an hour, but now, you pay more than that, do you not, to go see your doctor? the cost goes up because the government is involved. when you destroy the value of money, prices go up more in the areas the government gets involved in. they are very much invol

one -- communications, while they've improved, we still need to do more. i think that's the key message i'd like to leave is that i don't think there's ever a point we'll be completely prepared. we're always going to have new people come into the district. we are always going to have visitors. how can we stay on top of it, using social media, p.d.a.'s? one of the things we did is pull together all the different property owners, all the security teams within the properties and where he published a list for all of our employees and for all of our businesses. it's a business card that actually opens up and it has all the different organizations to contact and then on the back we actually added emergency earthquake information, fire, what to happen if things happen within your district. so i'd just like to say that for us we think it's something that is obviously changing. i think we can always do more, but i think we have a good, strong groundwork to continue to work forward. at least we are talking to each other all year long so it's not like we are meeting f

i am just going to go. >> what are you going to do? >> i am trying to get volunteers for housing for people who need it during the night. i am also supporting ed's project. >> what are you going to do? >> i am working with a group that is just beginning. we are hoping to organize a march in washington, d.c. this spring. it is essentially a retired people's group at this point. i do not know if it will stay that way. we are now working directly through occupy. >> we are getting together in the room to get new offense going. >> we are meeting people and talking with people on public access show to educate people about the military-industrial complex and how many of the 1% our military contractors who are robbing and lying. >> you? >> i am very excited for the funeral. i don't know. i am excited. >> i am wendy. >> i will be working on dealing with sopa for the next few weeks. it is dealing with censorship. that is what i am working on on my end. i am also working with occpy. >> i am looking forward to the thing the republicans know that th

how are you going to do it? how are you going to maintain the problem and maintain adequate health care for seniors. our problem right now, we haven't had any leadership to go out and explain and treat american people like adults. saying, here's the problems we have. everybody's going to take a pinch. those who are the more wealthy will take more of a pinch. but the way we get out of this problem is this. and list it out. i've done that. i've put out $9 trillion worth of changes, taken a lot of heat on it, but if we were to do, even though my plan isn't totally right, i readily admit that. if we were to do what i suggest tomorrow, which is $1 trillion in tax increases, okay, and $1 trillion out of the pentagon, but it's $9 trillion total, we would be rolling in this country economically. >> yeah. i couldn't agree with your assessment more forcefully, specifically the absence of the very framing of the conversation that this country in my view, and clearly in your view, is desperate for in 2012, and neither the pr

it's something we have to do. his was the reason we're in the hole we're in now, a budget gimmick was done in the bush years. we have to get away from that. as senator kyl said, it's all monopoly money, and we have to use the overseas contingency fund to pay for that. i hope that's what they work out. >> [inaudible] >> we are not going to leave washington until we pass the extenders and pass the extenders payroll tax cut. we have to do something with the payroll tax cut, unemployment compensation, only -- ominibus that we have to do. >> you won't leave washington unless they are done? >> don't intend to. >> [inaudible] >> we'll probably have a vote on friday. i can't do anything on it until tomorrow because it doesn't ripen until that time. hopefully the republicans have some proposals. they have been totally silent. as you learned probably earlier today, the house has not tried to do anything this week. they have given up. that's not a good sign. thank you. >> [inaudible] >> balancedded budget amendment, we'll hav

we need to do a lot more of that. i have put tether a plan to shrink the federal government, to get this growing, to put together -- we call it made in the usa money. we are the only candidate talking about how to get the manufacturinsector growing. we need to cut taxes. we need to simplify the code. it is a bold plan. a lot of people say we will eliminate the irs who is quick to collect taxes? is the federal government going to run on no taxes? will have to have some sort of tax collection agency. i love folks that promise things you cannot do. we have to have a tax code and collect taxes. i am not want to eliminate the irs. i would just like a simple code so you do not have to worry about the irs. we will have two rates -- 10% and 28%. 28% sun was the high rate under rona reagan, the top rate. the was the 1986 tax act. if it is good enough for ronald reagan, it is good enough for me. ronald reagan was able to get it through a democratic caucus. ok to what we can accomplish, what we can pass, andhat is translation. we

he does not want to do that. but he is ready to draw some distinctions. at newt can't do tomorrow night is show that, you know what he's been accused of in the past, losing his cool. he's got to find a way to take all this incoming fire and it's not just going to be coming from romney, but from the others, as well. >> right, and, terry, i was out today, i wandered through a supermarket, through a drugstore, and one man said, when i asked him, what do you want the candidates to do, what are you waiting for? and he said silence. because they've had 9,000 ads out here on television and he said, my clicker is worn out. >> who else should we watch? we talked about gingrich and romney. it's crunch time for all the rest of them, for their last shot. who else should we watch? >> you have to look at ron paul. he has a strong organization here and he's been tough on gingrich in the last week in his ads accusing him of serial hypocrisy. the other three, perry and bachmann and santorum, this is their last shot in many ways because if they don't get up into the top tie

to do. if the commission would like to express an intent of at least doing a half cent for the next 10 years, again, intent and not actual commitment. that would help. giving staff direction to pencil it out would be good. i want to again agree with the commissioner that in-city energy efficiency is not important, if we are charging departments more than they ever paid and we are not at all compensating by saying that we are going to fix your bulbs and motion detectors and all of the other things we should be doing, it seems that it is -- it seems more punitive than it needs to be. whether that is with p.u.c. staff or department of the environment folks who may be cheaper to do the energy efficiency programs, we should find ways to fund energy efficiency, even if it is innocent this four-year period. i understand that. even if it is in years 5, 6 and after we should express that as in intent and not commitment. hope that is helpful. thank you. >> just to be clear on that orkts energy efficie

where to go to do that, where to go to get assistance. we are also a resourced. when 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

believe, we have to do our work. the president said we shouldn't be going on vacation without getting our work done. let's get our work done, let's do this for a year. and earlier this week, both the house and senate, in a bipartisan, bicamperal way, funded our government through september 30th. we did it in a regular process, regular order, and what the regular order here is a formal conference between the house and senate. >> but it's important to reiterate, as speaker of the house, you are opposed to this senate bill, to this compromise. >> i believe that two months is just kicking the can down the road. the american people are tired of that. frankly, i'm tired of it. on the house side we've seen this kind of action before coming out of the senate. it's time to just stop, do our work, resolve thedifferences, and extend this for one year. >> well, but -- >> every move is uncertainty. >> resolving differences is about the hardest thing to do, it seems, in washington, and it's been that way all year long. what do you

need to do to get the work done that you need to do. so you get a lot of assistance to get through your day, which i really appreciate. i hope they are not afraid of me. i try to remind them that i am just like them. i put my pants on one leg at a time in the morning and have the same kind of concerns about getting through my day. >> when do people know you are not happy? >> i do not know. i will tell them. i am not a yeller. i am not a screamer. if i have asked them to do something and they have not met the market, or they give me the answer that they think i want to hear, i will tell them. >> give us an example. >> there was one officer that i worked for who did not have a high regard, i think, of women in general, and this was many years ago, and would dismiss me when we had meetings, and i would have an idea, or i had a thought about the course of action we might want to take, so he was a bit dismissive, but i kept plugging away. eventually, something is going to get through. i guess i am kind of hard headed that way. >> did you go t

i didn't decide to be an actor. i doide to go to drama school because i was determined to be in film. i loved films, don't get me wrong. but they seemed like miles and miles away to the lucky few that got ther but i loved... shakespearwas a key ingredient in my ambition to be an actor. so going to the royal shakpeare company and national theater working with amazing stage actors, not necessarily famous but great stage actors, that was fantastic. i thought when i was offered henry vi at the royal shakespeare company i thought that was my greatest break. i remember driving up to stratford and playing classical music in my car and driving through the english countryside and there i was going to be... >> rose: (laughs) >> i didn't... >> and then three or four years latewhen film work started then it was exciting and at times alarming and shinder will's list was the one where it felt like a whole other... >> you had entered a new place. >> rose: tell me about "coriolanus." >> "coriolanus" was a part in a play that i was aware

that is going to do it for this segment. we do have to take a break. when we come back. we'll hear about theúúúúúúúúúúúú >>> welcome back. we've been talking about living sustainably. when it comes to water, california has too much or far too little. a couple of organizations are leading the charge. dan ashley filed this report last march. >>> these are very familiar sights, heavy rain, heavy runoff. drainage systems overwhelmed by water. now some bay area water district are hoping that you will catch and use that rain. he was one of the first to join the pilot program. >> we're harvesting water. >> it flows down a roof into a downspout. >> it's going into this main one here. then it transfers to these other two bells. >> three big bells hold 210 gallons each when they are all fuel. >> the water will overflow and come down this pipe and go into the smaller barrels that are like 45 gallons. >> screen filtered keep out insects. it will store about 1100 gallons to water the garden. >> i have no idea how long it will last. >> he got big discounts on on supplies because the c

it's hard to say it and do it. >> you know what not to do. >> i know what not to do. going to be hard. it ain't going to be easy. this is the easy part, going home today. >> yeah, it is. you know, just being real about it. >> right. >> never said anything wrong to me, kevin. >> 20 minutes change buses in montgomery. >> montgomery? >> yeah. >> thank you, sir. >> 12:30. you've got about 20 minutes. if you want to walk in there and get something, you can. >> something to drink, something to smoke. that's a nice bike, dude. it's kind of crazy looking at all this stuff. i ain't seen so much variety in so long. i ain't never had one of these. i got locked up before this came out, red bull. i might just have to try this. i'm going to get this. i'm going crazy. pork rinds. here we go. i can get some of them. tell your boobs to stop staring at me. i might need this one. liberation right here. because i can. in there you can't have that opportunity to do what you want to. this is probably going to be the only cigarettes i buy, to be honest with you. when them done, probably go

didn't know what to do with my life. there was a story about a -- got a job as a clerk in the store. 36 years later grew from 4 million to a $50 billion company. >> john: to best by. >> it was a pure fluke. >> business just takes on people. >> and based on greed and selfishness and couldn't be good. and watched what happens in building a business. the sound of music which became best buy was 11 years before it made them a dollar of profit and then it started losing money again. it is really hard to build a business and part of the reason forgetting involved with job creators alliance is watching. that is with the economy how hard that is to do today because we are adding come complexity to the process. >> the media doesn't get it. >> they haven't seen the development of a business the way some of us have. >> john: most people in the media feel there is a pie and if you rich guys take a big chunk there is less for the rest of us. they don't get that you bake new pies. >> staples. there was nothing like staples before you c

it's the way to go, the right thing to do. he end, it works out well for you. >>> it's time to answer some of your business questions. brian and phil are with us once again. the first is about the state of small business. >> what do you see are the top five universal challenges all business owners face today? >> before we were talking big picture. here, there are small things people face. brian? >> sure, one thing is competition from cheap technology. used to be, if you had a good website or good store, you had a defense against new competitors. now, it's easy and cheap, a competitor come in, if they have a good product, eat your lunch. you have to have an eye on other folks coming up on your tail and taking away your business. you have to play defense. another one is there is still enormous competition for talent. everyone says there are so many unemployed people out there. put an ad on craigslist and find someone. that doesn't work. the competition for good people is very, very tough. i have a difficult time hiring good peopl

do not. let's pass that item and then come back to that. >> we do have one speaker card request. commissioner moran: i'm sorry. i missed the communications. we have a letter summary advanced calendar. one thing i would like to point out on that -- first of all, i think it is helpful to have staff reports done that way. we have questions, we can raise them, but we do not need to. i would like to point out that for the second item, the annual water supply development report -- that shows that we continue to provide and sell a lot less water than we had planned on. those numbers are through the end of june of this year, so they are six months out of date, roughly, and my understanding of the current numbers is that they showed a current -- a continuation of that trend. the good news is that we seem to be doing well on conservation, but the bad news is that financial plans are a little bit out of whack as a result of that. there is a conclusion in part because of that reduced water demand that there is no need to issue a five-year notice that we do not have enough water to supply them

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

wanted to do this and that. and my job as the ceo, my job as the founder, to keep us focused, keep us simple. keep it a grilled cheese. we're going to be a grilled cheese, we're going to be a melt, great soup. >> like in and out. >> simple. >> they don't try to get too fancy. >> last time they changed the m men you was to get -- menu was to get dr pepper. >> we'll be back in a minute. this is an rc robotic claw. my high school science teacher made me what i am today. our science teacher helped us build it. ♪ now i'm a geologist at chevron, and i get to help science teachers. it has four servo motors and a wireless microcontroller. over the last three years we've put nearly 100 million dollars into american education. that's thousands of kids learning to love science. ♪ isn't that cool? and that's pretty cool. ♪ >>> welcome back. we're talking about grilled cheese. >> i wanted to go back for a moment to the mobile payment issue, because that's still -- we're really at the very beginning of the whole thing of using

i do not think it is unreasonable to ask for staff to do it in a timely way, that makes us able to respond. i support it. i think we have to do this, in order to deal with the issues the commissioners have brought up. quick response to records requests, accurate data on all our requests. quick response to the public about information on the buildings they are interested in. i think it is a product that needs to happen. i think we need to find a way to prioritize and effectively staff this and get the rfp done. commissioner hechanova: commissioner lee? commissioner lee: digitizing these records, it is it for the benefit of the public, commission, both? >> it is totally for the public. commissioner lee: why can we just do something and let the public research it? we do not need to go through a 100% process where we can punch a button and say these are the records. we can provide a process where they can look through it. wouldn't that simplify the digitizing? commissioner hechanova: is in there a security issue? commissioner lee: that was the other thing, my first question, what types of reco

we need to read out the motion? >> we do not necessarily need to read of the criteria do we need a second, or do you want to read it out? >> we asked the board of supervisors to continue next -- to consider extending the program to complete a study before taking further action. it is a legitimization program, so it would be expanding the program for 12 months. good i have a motion by commissioner adams. >> do we want to vote any recommended guidelines for the review so the review does not, up three months before the deadline? >> within three months to? do you think that is too soon? >> to soon. >> we should have the report back within six months. it will come back to this commission. do we have a second? >> i will second. >> why don't we take roll calls? [calling votes] the passes 5-0. >> i want to bring something up because it was brought to my attention and is on this topic. one business i know very well is a large shawerma and -- a large warehouse with over 100 employees, trucks going in and out, and i want you to know af

that's a good place to do it. but you always want to do it at the safest location. so if the street is the safest location, that's where you would do it at. this house here fell over. doesn't have something called a sheer wall. so it's just a platform or a platform or a balloon, nothing that keeps the wall from racking, they call it. so you want to make sure that the building that you are in are sheered. this is a connection between the plate, stud and the bottom plate. tie it all together. unreinforced masonry building. safe building or not such a safe building? not safe at all. you have deep set windows, arched windows, metal plate, then we can work. weak morter, what is that? brick on top of brick on top of brick. there's an ample of the header row, you see how they are turned perpendicular to each other, you can see the header rows in this one, see the brick going the other way about every 5 or 7 rows. deep set windows. here's a close up of one of those plates. a parapet wall is a clue that this building is an unreinforced building. which direction can that build

the kids will have to do double up to do 90 minutes every day. . . but you have to double again. so some kids did, some kids didn't. what happened in the tenth year was kids could take the test on their own. we were not doing algebra. we were doing in geometry, but they started to pass so the culture became all of us are going to get through this test. there was one girl that didn't pass until the second semester of the 11th grade but she stuck with it and graduated on time. so after the tenth grade we said to them look if you want to stay with us you have to double up, agreed to double up for the 11th or 12th year. topolanek everyday, 90 minutes of math. they thought these kids aren't going to double let you can't make them take all that math and of course we couldn't make them take it. our job was to figure out how to teach it so they were willing to take, and so that's what we did. that's what we learned about, and we learned part of what it takes to hold ourselves responsible for kids leaving high school ready to do college math for college credit, not pass the s.a.t. with the

it is impossible not to be biased. i do not think there is a need to try to not be biased. it is impossible. even if you were interviewing someone, you decide what you think is important. you have biases. i do not see the problem with biased reporting. reporting from an ankle, people -- reporting from a certain angle, people who read my stock watch my biddy as. they feel as if -- read my stuff watch my videos. they feel as if they are not represented in the media. they feel there is not a voice for them. i am providing it. they feel the they do not have a voice in the media. >> you were invited to appear on a show. we have had the same kind of conversation. why did you go on the show? >> she does an on-line show. it does well on the internet. i figured it was a good opportunity. >> she is not that much older than you are. she has a daily one hour show. >> she understands what works on the internet, what does not pay the two young people, it is the perfect up -- does not. two young people, it is the perfect opportunity. >> let's look at a little bit of your visit. >> next nov

we are perfectly open in prepared to do that. when it comes to provisions about affordable housing, i think that is an area that we know a bit about. it is very unclear to us why in this forum and with no real dialogue there would be an attempt to improve inclusionary housing dialogue. i do not see the mayor's office of housing here to provide feedback to you on housing policy. i think also it is important to point out that the inclusion very housing update is starting in january. there will be a long process. the planning department has a staff. it will be run by the mayor's office of housing. there is a technical advisory committee that has been appointed, as well as our organization as we prepare to dig deep, both into the technicalities, as well very, as well as the policy framework for inclusion mary. if there is the thought that we need to incentivize, then that is the form that needs to happen. san francisco has never incentivized the provision of on-site inclusion every housing units, other than creating an ever where it m

this was the chance to do that. if you read the book the voices of these women are very realized to me. i knew these women. i knew abilene and minnie and rarely does that happen. i always say there are certain adjectives they say for black women, dignified, soulful, sassy, wise. >> charlie: why do they choose those adjectives? >> i don't know, that's probably a better question for them but i just felt a -- i feel a general sense that people -- that there's a fear and not necessarily from a caucasian people but this is a three-hour conversation but that there is only certain things that we can be that there is not complexity to us and i think that's probably why even kathleen stockett wrote the book finding out of what her goal was 9-11 her made dimitri. she hadn't been in contact with her for years and this book was a way of discovering her and a find that's a great metaphor for when i see people of color on screen. there's a sense that you never get to know them beyond the surface and for me, once again, this was a

eventually you will have to do an environmental impact report. if your aim is to close the golf course, why not start the process ahead of time? by passing this, you are throwing a bone to folks to get them excited. you are not doing anything to achieve the end you want any quicker. if anything, you are delaying the process. supervisor avalos: the folks i have been working with on the ordinance no that when we get to the point where we have an agreement, any changes would have to go through environmental review. that is something we all know about. supervisor elsbernd: if you want to get it done, why not get it done sooner rather than later? you are delaying the process by avoiding an environmental impact review. supervisor avalos: thank you. we have someone from the parks and wrecked apartment -- parks and rec department who will speak on their behalf. >> i am the planning director for the department. i am here to give brief comments. understand the alarm the public would like to speak. -- i understand a lot of the public would like to speak. we

we are trying to do our best. i am happy to further yield. >> i have been informed that the association you mentioned did not take a position on this bill. >> they said it was complicated but they were willing to do the work. what i do not know why we cannot have an up or down vote. >> the term used is unworkable. did and what i am told is -- it is complicated, they did not say they could not do this work. >> let me yield. that is the debate. what's i would like my own time. -- >> i would like my own time. >> let me yield to mr. sessions first. >> i think a good number of people, you may have felt like this is not what you wanted. they should understand this. republicans hold a position that we believe we should continue doing our work and it could last a whole year. -- it should last a whole year. house republicans believed in our bill. that we should move our work through. there is much in decision that always takes place in the political process. one thing we are being told is congress does not make decisions. t

want to do it so it just leaguers on. we can do it together. thank you. >> thank you. >> any other public comment? >> commissioner walker. to go as a follow-up to the public input, i think having a discussion with the assessor's office and trying to capture all of those documents would be worthwhile. as you all know, especially commissioner murphy, there is a lot of information over there that if we could make it seem less, it would be well worth some of the struggle we are having with this. if that could be one of the things to do to include them, i think it would help. >> i agree with you again commissioner walker. [laughter] holiday cheer. i think one of the most important categories here essentially is we had a very all verbal category, a physical material that if an event of the earthquake and any other disaster that looms, which i do not know how to define, but the category of it is only one place and lost, we would have archived materials that are basically going to be gone. i think it is imperative that we push thi

how did we used to do it? we didn't do anything 300 years ago. we'd build out of thousand-year-old pieces of wood and it's okay for them to get wet as long as they dried, and they did, because these walls were completely uninsulated. then the big improvement was that we should put rosin paper over the cracks. so just putting the paper over these seams meant the air didn't blow through your house and that increased comfort? amazing. that is true. and that change happened about a hundred years ago, the turn of the last century, around the 1900s. and then, in the 1920s and 1930s, we began to add insulation into the cavities and eelgrass and straw. even saw the early fiberglass products, and we reduced energy flow, and people realized, "we have to start focusing on rain as well." so the next innovation was to treat the rosin paper with asphalt, so we ended up inventing or developing old-fashioned tarpaper. that's the black layer we're looking at here, impregnated with tar. and so the tarpaper served two functions -- air control and water control. but

so that's one thing to do. so on the question about what is going on now, so, a few people, right, the civil rights movement opened doors. and so a few people were able to walk through those doors, right, and the country decided that they would make room for a few people to walk through those doors. now, i was talking to someone at princeton who is very prestigious, black professor there, on the science side. he was complaining. he said princeton has not produced one black ph.d in physics since the 1970s. and he didn't have an answer as to why that was happening. he had been there for quite a while, but he somehow felt there something wrong with this picture. so what is true that, the doors that were opened allowed a few people to go through, but the people who pushed against those doors were not the middle class in mississippi. i mean, in mississippi when we were doing that work in the 1960s, what was the black middle class, right? well, it was about 7000 teachers, right? high school teachers who, most of whom

okay, now, all i need to do now is transfer that measurement over to here, but what i don't want to doput a line here and then put another measurement and then a line and then so on down the line. i want to basically take our measurements and transfer the measurements from the top of this clapboard now, and i'm going to put my marks on my filler strip, transfer them here. here. here. all the way up the wall. and i'll do the same thing on the other end. and i'll put another coursing on here. what we're going to do is we're going to snap a chalk line between the two reference points. you lined up? yep. now we'll just move it right up. good. good. good. all right, now let's take a measurement on the bottom and the top to see if they're all the same length. i've got 126 5/16. okay. 126 5/16. all right. now, they're all the same. we can cut... one, two, three, four, five, six, seven pieces all the same length. tom: tap them all to me. [ tapping ] little more -- right -- easy. okay, hold it right there. all right, we've got them squared on the other end and even, so now i want to make sure t

the other departments want to do. dpw may want, and they have expressed the enthusiasm to look at all sorts of processes to see how they fit in to and they can use the features of the permit tracking system. using the system for business taxes. the board of appeals wants to use the system. initially, we need to look at what we are currently doing well and who is currently using it. and then we have every intention, having expressed in this to the board of supervisors and the mayor's office, working with other departments to get them to maximize their use of the features that they are not using right now. >> it would help, i think, because the board and the mayor's office have prioritized helping small businesses. the department of health is involved. it makes sense to be able to coordinate all of this to give better service to the end user. i also understand that it is a later step where you coordinate the peripheral departments. i think it is part of what will meet our needs and the city's priorities. >> can anyone gi
