a british chancellor, charles townsend, he was the equivalent of our secretary of treasury, came one the scheme to oppose the argument. he would no longer taxed americans, he would tax the goods. glass, lead, paints, paper, and tea. he reasoned that duties would be less painful for ordinary americans who could avoid paying them by simply using home made substitutes. farmers and their families, 95% of americans lived on farms, farmers and their families already produced most of their own clothes, their own pottery, wooden utensils, tools, and many of the other things they needed. the people most effected by import duties were the wealthy. who loved their beautiful british and european furniture and furnishings, their wines and fancy, gourmet food stuff. when the british imposed duties to pay for the war, the duties affected the richest colonials, not the poor or the middle classes. it affected those who were profiting most from the war, the ship owners, the merchants, the bankers. although the townsend act duties did not upset ordinary americans, they infuriated the rich merchants and

president olague, members, my name is arnold townsend, reverend arnold townsend. tonight as first vice president i'm representing the san francisco naacp and president of the board of the san francisco economic opportunity counsel. this one i believe i can do in two means -- minutes because it's a no-brainer. oning of the most important projects that will come before you, because of the great need exhibited by all that goes on there now and we need to continue that too because the amazing and brilliant legacy it has in nurturing the lives of some very accomplished and talented people that came through there and we want to have the opportunity to continue to nurture brilliant and amazing young people who are coming through that center now and will come in the future. thirdly, i just want to bring to your attention that i believe that the people who oppose this are good people. i believe that every one of them has sat and watched the news stories about children transitioning and aging out of foster care and i bet you every one of them has said somebody needs to do s

think, and i know this is a lot of deficit problems but we just had somebody get killed on2nd and townsendery day when i'm crossing and i see other people too, they just want to go right by us. and the police told me that's one of the most dangerous. please, from my heart to yours, see if you can help us so we can save lives and continue living. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you, next speaker please. >> good morning sirs. my name is albert reyes. i'm a member of the senior center. i live in menleson house and i go there every day being sponsored for disabled people. it's my experience sir that when i go there every day i have to alight at mission and eighth street. and crossing mission, going there, takes a very difficult time to cross because the light was so fast. street lights i mean go so fast. and being disabled is very difficult for me to run, to keep up with it before reaching the end of 8th street and mission. i notice too that in order to facilitate access to cannon street i do not go and take the cross mission street but rather do something illegal by crossing the street

tracks the thinking of many people in corporate america and firms like general electric where chris townsend has the pleasure of dealing with the hour verizon that i have dealt with that try to confine us to the past rhetorically with the constant repetition -- repetition and references to legacy contracts and benefits and the latter of which we are told no longer affordable in the private or public sector. where we seem to be headed where him in cairo by the lake in wisconsin, a brother bob university of wisconsin probably about on twitter the great labor journalists just returned from madison some hopefully we get reports from a little bit later. anybody else? we have a bunch of out of state cheerleaders now vice the is now called the chatter revolution. [laughter] now on this particular tour those at haymarket although they have been saddled with the name from two centuries ago, it came up with the subtitle birth of a new workers' movement or death throes of the old?" very savvy marketing because if things are not going well for the labor movement, answer questions in interviews that two

thinking of many people in corporate america and in firms like general electric which brother chris townsend deals with and who continually try to confine us to the past rhetorically at least with their constant repetition and references to legacy contracts and legacy benefits, the latter of which we are now told are no longer affordable anywhere in the country in either of the public or private sector where things are heading and told, those cheese heads got into the act out there in cairo by the lake in wisconsin. bob was just out there, brother mike elk who is probably twittering, a great young labor journalist who just returned from madison. hopefully we'll get reports from bob and mike and anybody else. anybody else out there? david? chris? okay. there's a bunch of out-of-state cheerleaders. it's now called the cheddar revolution. let me say the cheddar revolution is a bit of a boom on book peddling on this particular tour. the folks at hay market even though they are saddled with a name from two centuries ago, it's a 134 labor reference, you know, came up with the subtitle called birth

just under two decades later, when ucsf's roger peterson and university of wisconsin's jane townsend exploring every adding some so research, the political climate had changed, but this did not stop their work. 10 years ago this month, ucsf scientists develop two of the first embryonic stem cell lines in a modest lab. to look up now and see entire building dedicated to stem cell research created with state and private funds is truly gratifying. it is also gratifying to have our program led by arnold krickstein. as a neurologist, he has spent much of his career treating patients with devastating disease from childhood development of disorders like several palsy, to parkinson's, stroke, alzheimer's disease, lou gehrig's disease, and brain cancer. he is also a world-renown brain stem cell scientist exploring with a number of colleagues a novel approach for using stem cells to treat epilepsy, parkinson's, and some of the consequences of brain and spinal cord injury. in his role as director of the center, he has built one of the strongest programs in the nation, recruiting some of the pre

alan townsend, our president, who i got to come all the way from australia. it he could just stand again for a second. [applause] has been a great leader in bringing us together to really have a global mission focused on the work done here, as we are looking at today, and i would also like to say that our vice chair puts in an enormous time every day in guiding the board on this mission, and if we could give him a special recognition. [applause] >> thank you, bob. i know all of you can hear the excitement in the voices of our speakers today and know how much we look forward to hearing the future of the science in these buildings, so i would encourage everyone who has not had a chance yet to have a tour of the building, meet the scientists, get to know the place. you are all welcome to do so. it is fantastic science and a fantastic location. i'm not going to sing. that is the really good news. are you guys ready? all right, this is our equivalent of a drum roll. i would ask all of you to look upward toward our beautiful new building. ladies and gentlemen, at t

arnold townsend. tonight, i am representing the san francisco naacp amongst others, as its first vice president, dr. amos brown, the president, could not be here tonight. a long night. i will brief as -- i will be brief as possible, but i have to be since i only have two minutes. let me say to you we are 100% supportive of this project. we know cpmc, and we know them because of the work they do in our community, the outstanding work. the wart dr. carolyn dyson has done with black women's breast health program has gained national recognition. this is tremendous work they do. we are talking about saving people's lives. i keep hearing people talk about how they do not take poor patients. i cannot tell you how much and how often i am up at cpmc. in fact, we need clergy parking. [laughter] i didn't want to forget that. i am there all the time visiting members of my community. trust me, we do not have a while the church. if we did, i would not have to work. it is working people, poor people. we go up to cpm

ago, long before pbs, i was interviewing a guest one night and i tell the name in the book, robert townsend actor, director, producer. he was on my b.e.t. show. i was in d.c. and he was on a satellite feed in l.a. and long story short, he'd done a movie that halle berry was in. i thought it was a horrible film. i didn't like the movie so one of my camera guys, we're about to go on the air, one of my camera guys goes, did you see the movie? i said, it was horrible. i love robert's work but i hate this movie. long story short, my microphone is open and robert's sitting in l.a. and hears everything i'm saying about how bad i think this movie is. it made for a very contentious conversation when we went live on the air five minutes later. that was the mistake my sound guy made having my mic open but i learned an important lesson, even when you think nobody's listening, somebody's listening. now, stuff we think is private on cell phones and internet, email, all the stuff you think is private can go public pretty quickly. >> isn't it therefore harder to fail up when everybody knows you failed? >>

i wholeheartedly believe this is a no-brainer as reverend townsend said earlier. booker t. washington community service center is a gem in the western addition and helped thousands of young people and their families get access to services. also, too, i don't see what the issue is and the concerns from the neighbors. it's not coming out clear to me. i think the cost of reducing the amount of units available to transation will -- transitional aged youth is too much to bear given the issues we have with homelessness. i think this is really about young people and the neighbors have concerns. i really want to hear what those are because it isn't clear to me at this point. i heard someone mentionsu

usually between thirty and forty years of age but for many to bring starts right here with the first townsend jump guided by an instructor berman cost artsy moscow region oh i say it so i was coming up next and i'm still ahead of that lines. hungry for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers on our t.v. . we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future of coverage. russia would be so much brighter if you knew about someone from phones to impressions. not from stars top teeth don't come. if. it is fifty feet. if two.

that's according to the studies at townsend in maryland.e figure is based on money spent by the 7300 runners and their friends and families. the report takes in to account the 19% of the runner who came if enfrom outside of oakland. they likely spent money on hotels, transportation, food and entertainment. organizers paid for the report. >> it was a fairy tail like feeling for some girls in search of a perfect prom dress. a yearly give away took place at the lilac dress boutique in alameda. dozens of teens came into select dresses and accessories to match all free of charge. they were donated by the boutique, it's vendors and local community. >> i'm hoping that the girl who come in and are given a free dress will then in five or ten years remember what happened to them and try to do something else for the community themselves. >> the owner said girl who couldn't make it in today can still visit the store this week to pick a dress. >> millions of people could save themselves from type two diabetes and save billions of dollars in medical cost

cspan: another perrty site here, "george welford townsend was the only war correspondent who seemed to understand there was money to be made on the circuit, a source of an astonishing amount of cash for a number of modern day celebrity journalists ." is there too much celebrity journalism today? >> guest: i think so, sure. i mean, it's inevitable, i suppose, in this day and age, but yeah, i -- i think that the good reporters in this book -- and i single out two of them principally, the charles carlton coffin in the wallsten warning journal and white wall read of the cincinnati gazette -- they were hard working, went about their business and without any concern for being celebrities although he essentially ran for vice president and became quite a celebrity himself but as a politician, not as a journalist. now he was a celebrity. you know, he was. he was known all over america, nobody in america didn't know who horace greeley was. cspan: who was he? >> guest: he was the editor and publisher of the new york tribune, an erratic strange character who was more interested in ideas than news
