i understand there is discussion. different colleagues have different perspectives, and i would like to have those two options. >> second? president chiu: that is on page 20, and it is the last paragraph that is an important component of the originally composed amendment. >> it has been moved and seconded. >> can i have are roll-call vote? [calling votes] supervisor daly: no. >> there are 10 ayes, one no. >> i want to thank everyone for the work that has been done on this. i do plan to continue the conversations that have been ongoing for many weeks as well as in the colleagues that wish to take part us on the immediate reform measures that reflect why we are seeing this. if these conversations are fruitful, i could be prepared to wait to move forward. we all know we need to increase accountability. we need to make sure funding is in place, and the look forward to working on these goals over the next week. >> both of these items will be completed on july 22. motion to continue? supervisor avalos seconded by supervisor

he could understand language but he couldn't make himself understand.his was not a paralysis of the vocal cords. he could hum well. he could not express himself in language. >> charlie: he could understand. >> he could understand perfectly well. when he kied died and came t topsy, broka examid him and found lesion in the front of the brain. he wanted to talk about this to his colleagues so he had to give it a name. in all modesty he named it after himself: he found invariably they had a lesion in the front of the brain and invariably the lesion was in the left side and this caused him to realize one of the major insights we have in the biology of the brain. we speak, he said, wh our left hemisphere. the left hemisphere specializes speech. this galvanized the scientific community. people began to look for others. two german investigators working on dogs found that there is a systematic representation of body movements on the surface of the brain called the motor cortex or the motor strip. if you stimulate one part of the motor strip your face moves, you

they do not understand how shortsighted it is because they do nothing to understand the fundamental problems about crime. i think part of education people about criminal defense lawyers, public defense lawyers, is educating people about the source of crime. they need to understand if the constitution does not work for everybody, it does not work. >> so how do we educate them? >> you bust rush limbaugh. he learned there is a fourth amendment to the constitution. seriously, how do we do it? i am not sure. one of the things that i struggled with, in particular, in robert blake's case, when i got into the case, i was determined not to get caught up in the media and to be the same person at the end of the case as i was at the beginning. i think of lawyers need to be lawyers, not try to be entertainers. you would know better. >> just so you know, i covered him while he was trying that case and desperately tried to get him to come to me during the case. i felt it was so important for the public to understand the constitutional issues that were coming up, but he rightly wanted to remain focused on t

it is something that is important for the public to understand. it is my understanding they went so far as to publicize the agenda of this commission on its own, so we can thank the court, because they have tried to wrap themselves in this. there have been several misstatements about what took place, and while i understand the commission is not reviewing this, they are at issue, and they are relevant to the commission. one thing i think is really important is the allegation that has been publicized that the incident that took place on july 11 a rose from an altercation. that is not true. hopefully, you have received the letter. >> i just want to make a couple points. the organization has been working with the city for a long time. the incident that took place was unfortunate, but the fact is the incidents did not arise out of an argument that began inside. this has been confirmed by the homicide investigators assigned to the case and by the captain of the bayview station. one of the things commissioner me go mentioned recently -- commissioner miko

it's important we have a more precise understanding. i think there should be commitments maiden forcable so that when the decisions are made, if there's any material changes to the plan itself, it comes back to the board of supervisors. nobody is saying the plan shouldn't go forward. what we're saying is after the experiences a few years ago when phase one came before us, phase one came before us as an entire rental unit housing project. it survived the board of supervisors. it went forward. then unilaterally, and i said two weeks ago at 2:00 a.m. the appeals were put to bed, i said no one should we allow that phase one to come again. it was unilaterally hinged to condo without any recourse to the board of supervisors. that completely suggests a con descending role that this process may be if there's not at least some recourse that allows us the response when we spent that level of time and energy, when stake holders from all sides spend that kind of level and energy and then they're just be able to go to recommission agency and commiss

supervisor campos: i have no problem understanding that. the problem i have is the advice you just presented is different from the advice that has been presented before and that's what i'm struggling with. let's take an example. if you can please use this example as the way about finding the reasoning, you have an amendment you have along this bridge which has been talked about repeatedly throughout the process. in this amendment, there is a substantive change that points to a scaled down version of the bridge. why is it that you can make that amendment but as i understand it, you cannot make an amendment that eliminates the bridge altogether? what's the distinction and what is the legal reason for that distinction? >> just to be correct here, you can make a motion to eliminate the bridge. if that was one of the board to eliminate the bridge, the proper action would be not to approve the action before you and send it all back. my understanding of the amendments was take the project before you, which includes a narrow bridge and wide bridge,

in terms of gaining a better understanding myself, which is an educational lifetime understanding, the folks around you -- with the great diversity we have in the city, i think it is most important that we attempt to do that. as police commissioner, it behooves me more to make sure my understanding and education continue in that manner, and something we spoke about a couple of days ago and a suggestion we had in terms of, you know, when i pick and choose the activities i want to do to make sure i am being cognizant of opportunities throughout the city and use them for a ricehr under -- richer understanding, it is truly reaching out for leaders in the communities, reaching out to them, listening to them and taking advantage to the gifts they are giving us when they try to work with us and make their voice be heard. >> thank you, and i am appreciative of your willingness and openness as commissioner. i think that makes you more effective as commissioner and i also think you will be someone who will try to understand the officer's perspective, as well, a sense of the challenges they face.

i don't understand why we wouldn't continue to let it exist. what we hear is that there is such a strong sense of community that this establishment brings. it is necessary and desirable, i can't think of a project that is more necessary and desirable. i need to check out this bar. it sounds like an amazing community assets. the owners have done such a great job to create such a space in the community that people could not live without it. i moved to approve. >> the water apparently came up to the other side until 1882. it was at least a restaurant until 1911, and i am sure they had something to drink there, too. commissioner olague: call the question. dodge the motion before you is for approval on that motion. commissioner antonini:aye. commissioner borden: aye. commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. >> of the motion passes unanimously. [applause] commissioners, you now have general public comment. commissioner olague: is there any general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is closed and the meeting is adjourned. >>

i'm a--i'm a country fanatic, you understand me? i love it.my car going to the airport to go catch a flight, and, uh--i turn on the country station to find out what's going on, because the lyrics in country music are so real, you know, and there's no dirt involved in them, you know. it's just good. so i was trying to do this, and i went ♪ bom-ching-ching-ching. and then ♪ a-ching-ching. i said, "wait a minute." ♪ ching-ching-ching ching-ching. ♪ and then i said, "hey, i got some"-- i just went and called the rest of the guys, jerome and all of them with the maracas. i said, "hey, man, listen up. can you do this on the drum?" boom-boom-boom boom-boom. and clifton james, my original drummer, he said, "yeah." he said, "what is this?" i said, "i don't know, man. just do it." then i'm gonna do this, you know. and we put it together, and i went to chess records with it. at first i went to vee-jay. i went to vee-jay records 'cause i--i didn't even really know that chess existed, and they were two blocks away from my house. i lived on langley avenue i

i understand there are questions as whether an amendment has been made. i understand that mr. cohen has proposed that this includes a clause that is subject to the terms of existing labor agreement. >> i would like to move forward without mr. cullen's proposed recommendation. i believe that moving forward, this would be strongest if we were able to insert mandatory local hiring a new phase two language. it seems that there could be an openness between development and labor in order to address opening these up. >> the amendment has not been amended to include that this would be subject to the labor agreement. why don't we have this as it currently stands? >> no. >> aye. >> no. >>aye. >> aye. >> no. >> no. >> aye. >> no. >> no. >> aye. >> the motion to amend sales. -- fails. would anyone like to make the motion that this would be subject to the motion with the language of the additional pla. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >>aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> the motion to amend passes. on the final amendment related to the watershed restoration. to understa

the public needs to understand that and our public officials need to understand that. and not only is it the cost saving, but it's the saving of lives, lives that are related to law enforcement issues, lives that are related to children that are left without parents because of their incarceration and addiction. the human cost is incalculable, and we need to come to grips with that in this country. we can invest in treatment, we can make huge progress in reducing addiction in this country, but we need to understand it fundamentally as a public health problem, as a chronic management of a disease problem, and i think we change the way we think about the war on drugs.

slowly gradually you begin to understand option i've been to go as well as they begin to understand you after that the work is mainly about learning each other's instincts and if they can see. the female dolphin does she gets distracted often by her six month old son and the arrival of new generations brings both great excitement and added responsibility to the aquarium. is a very protective mother and everyone here seems keen on spoiling their favorite little nay on. such a diver loves to play with them in the water only with dashes permission of course no one appears set to be quite a prefer. since both his dolphin and human friends teach him everything they know. that instantly. has told him something the child has to. his mother to clam wants you to dance he really is a very good only to be sociable interesting and he considers us his close friends his keep his first time. one performance after the other crowds are thrilled by the spectacle of dolphins and humans working together but behind all the excitement inspired by the stars lies a great deal of work. the trainers and chair ta

. >> i understand. most is on a second visit. but often, we will find that we were there because of -- or we are in the area, and when we do that, there is some kind of verbal warning. if we go back and the situation has changed, then they're given a written notice of violation. sometimes, depending violation, that is not the case. it is serious enough that they should be given something right then and there. .acting director kane, most of what we feel is what would be a stepping stone or a milestone and if the situation is not changed, we go to something else. and as acting director stated, under our per view, that is important. unless this is something serious. outside of that, we really try to work with the individuals. if that is, however, not working, then we need to take steps. commissioner: than just a follow-up question on the karaoke. when the legislation was passed, there was no supplemental in our budget or any additional funding to bring these venues into compliance. perhaps there is time to present this to the board

it is an ordinance adopted amendment no. 3 to the 200712-12 understanding. president chiu: we just recused supervisor chu, can we still -- >> yes. >> it wasn't clear with the same provision with reference to the other mlu's included in this item. i just wanted to make sure. >> the same language would apply. president chiu: roll-call vote please? supervisor campos: no. president chiu: aye. supervisor daly: no. supervisor dufty: aye. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor maxwell: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. supervisor alioto-pier: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. >> there are 8 ayes and two no's. president chiu: item 20. >> it establishes a yearly base line of our preparation to create the sentences, affordable housing fund. supervisor daly: thank you, president and colleagues. the issue of affordable housing or lack thereof to be more specific is one of the toughest issues within san francisco. over the course of nine and a half years here at the board of supervisors, it has been an emphasis issue for my office over the entire time. but th

that shifted also for israel it took a while to understand that classic wars have ended and now it's terrorism it costs a few decades to find the proper response to international domestic terrorism to build an export based economy so these mental changes are actually take time because once you create those mental structures it's very hard for you to shift. when i talk about an intellectual attack of towns fluffy sounds i mean for a man who went through the military this this is not this is not a serious attack what's it like to attack in your opinion how is israel fairing in this war of words do you think for example that israel gets a say hearing in the international media there's no doubt that whatever happens here it gets this proportional attention to anything that happens anywhere else. what i do find that the main problem here is that people rush to judgment. and there is no appreciation for the complexity of the situation for the complex city of the call flicked and i think of anything we should insist on the complexity of things so that people would understand that it's not s

just for the sake of the public to understand why you exercise that particular tool. otherwise, they will be wanting to use every possible venue to argue the case, but as a matter of policy you are not going to find this commission taking a vote to try to influence the decision being made by some other city body. it is important to see the permit only includes three conditions. when police issued this permit back in 1994, the assembly noted dancing for patrons can last until 2:00 a.m. the maximum occupancy is maybe two patrons, and there is to be no public occupancy of the second floor. that is for bathroom use only. in terms of whether those are relevant to us, we recommend entertainment until only 1:30. we always defer to the fire department, sir talk to them, and public occupancy of the second floor. no occupancy of second-floor is certainly on the table. the main focus will be recommendation that the new recommendations from a few station. -- from dave ehud stations. -- bayview stations. >> it sounds like a seven-day perspective. we have a variety of different per

supervisor campos: i understand. do you think it's consent for the mayor to say local elected officials should not serve on a county central committee and then to at the same time turn around as a locality elected official, which he remains, then at that same time take a seat on the county central committee? do you think that's consistent? >> i certainly hea you are implying that you don't think that it's not appropriate one way or another for me to judge that or make a statement about that. i represent the mayor here and i am conveying that message. supervisor campos: i would say that it is inconsent. if i had a measure like this on the ballot, the way that mayor newsom is doing, i would be consent with that measure and i would not sit on the county central committee. >> and again, i just reiterate that there is a path where he would choose to forgo that seat if there was consensus among the city family. i'm just saying the same thing over and over again. supervisor campos: i think you can't have it both ways. that'

i don't understand that. they got a lot of bicycle spaces but make it a condition that the tenants have to use bike kells and can't use cars. include that in the conditional use permit. thank you so much. >> thank you. any additional public comment? seeing none. public comment is closed. commissioner borden. commissioner borden: i think we were developing a balboa plan, we were excited about the opportunity of new development in this area and this is such a great partnership with using city land, which we -- we have in scarce supply, to be able to provide affordable housing. i want to commend alberto heights and mercy and the agencies within the city that came together to make this a reality. we're sorely lacking affordable housing in the city. here the -- here is a great opportunity that we will be able to provide it. one nice feature, is there would be 21 units for foster youth, because that's amazing, the city college being close by, it is really great because we were talking about when we talked about hou

it's hard to get your community to understand it. we need to be imagining it now and we're not doing a particularly good job of that. ,maurine had a constitution. there are no silver bullets you have to have a comprehensive approach to this. the next conclusion is, we have to build diverse water management portfolios in every region of the state. i like the language. jarrod started with portfolio and used the term hedges and we're bringing a business risk management where you build a portfolio have hedge a sounds, and have contingency plans. you have to be prepared to respond to uncertain condition. the next item, is the statewide system that we have such a row bust statewide system has to be re-evaluated in terms of on raukss. how do we operate this in the face of what we have seen. we can't do it in what we have seen. that will require some reconfiguration. the final point and it's not the topic of this panel really. but as you do these and reconsider the reoperation of these we have to manage the greenhouse gases and the carbon fo

>> that is correct, but my understanding it is actually a narrowing of the focus. supervisor chu: right, and in terms of the population, the population now is early childhood, so we are talking about zero to five, i would imagine? >> i believe that is correct. that would probably be one of the first tasks we would do, define the scope. >> when we talk about the joint founders, and we primarily talk about early childhood, but we also fund child care, which goes up to 12, so many of our programs that serve the 05 population also did after-school time, so some time there are linkages, but i would imagine that the scope of the work, because the program serves children up to that age, that it will cover children older than five -- programs that serve the zero to five population. supervisor chu: one of the issues is that the lines on page two, lines 1214, authorizes the use of the commission to recommend programs and areas of importance to be reviewed. that probably would not be relevant, given the fact that we are concentrating on 05, i would imagine -- on zero to five,

i understand that. and i understand that in this case, we were actually proposing 70 days, which is the date from yesterday when it was released to whenever the five days after your september 23rd hearing. it has to be five days. i just want to be clear that i'm a little concerned about precedent. i understand this is a big e.i.r. with multiple sites. but just for the record i think it's important to say that there is -- these kinds of cases are unusual so we would do that only in very unusual cases. >> understood. . commissio ner borden? commissioner borden: i wanted to bring up an item brought to my attention. i work with the neighborhood network and was at the meeting of the middle polk neighborhood and the issues around projects came up and there were a lot of questions about enforcement of conditions and how do people know what conditions are after approved and what is our process of enforcement in the future. i thought it would be nights for our enforcement staff to talk a little bit about if at a

understanding. communication is established gradually when you start training these animals when you feed. their first commands. recipient to slowly gradually you begin to understand what should have been and like to go as well as they begin to understand you after that the work is mainly about learning each other's instincts and if they can see. the female dolphin does she gets distracted often by her six month old son. the arrival of new generations brings both great excitement and added responsibility to the aquarium dutch is a very protective mother and everyone here seems keen on spoiling their favorite little nail. sauce in the diver loves to play with them in the water only with dashes permission of course known appears set to be quite a performer since both his dolphin and human friends teach him everything they know . that in finland. has told him something. has to channel his mother to clanchy it to dance he really does it very slowly to be sociable interesting and he considers close frien

>> i think i will let your viewers understand and i think your understanding of things is usually veryorrect. >> charlie: the obama administration from the national security people to the pentagon people to the state department people were very concerned about the leak of these documents because they wanted their new relationship with the pakistanis to stay on course. >> kaerl, we must understand that we have a democratic government after a long hiatus, and what we have is a public opinion that is generally wary of the united states. we have a government that wants to be close to the united states, understands the benefits that could bring to pakistan and yet, a public that does not have a very high opinion of u.s. foreign policy, or, for that matter, of the united states in our region. the approval for united states is in very low double digits -- 17-18% at any given time. under such circumstances, our bigger worry is not just how somebody like me who deals with the u.s. on a day to day basis, or our foreign minister or somebody else with sophisticated understanding of american foreig

every month we give you the future we help you understand how. to bring the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world join us for technology update on. the small town of the black sea coast is home to an aquarium of the russian academy of sciences. many marine mammals are brought here to their cause. they're placed under the watchful eye of doctors and learn to get accustomed to people to cooperate and be friends. but not just for newbies it's like a resort for c.n.n. most from far and wide. right now two female walruses are undergoing rehabilitation here both have been treated for serious problems with their tusks. as well and has also come here to work with the marine mammals. it's the focus was going to find out why the white whales if it's true should get the young white. comfortably on the stretchers fully aware of what's in store and called in response to all the actions of the scientists so upset. on suction cups with sensors are placed on the surface of her skin right above the brain. trying to pick up the ech

a good part is there are lots of other channels for understanding china. there are 1000 new blogs every day and these things make a difference. it opens every new channel of communication we can. while it is boring to say that human connections here, people have a view of the united states which is more or less accurate around the world. the reality of minute by minute changing china is matching more to what we see in the press, [ applause ] thank you for those remarks. my experience reinforces your impression. when i served in beijing, it was a first race u.s. press corp. they were not biased toward china, they were stimulated by the opportunity to cover china. and yet the americans coming to china were reporting that their impressions were all wrong. i would confrent them with this. the answer they gave me was interesting. it wasn't editorial bias, it was the assumptions about what american readers wanted to read about china. it turned out, that if you wrote stories about the negative aspects of china, you got front-page treatment if you wrote about othe

certainly we understand the point being made. quite a few points. i think that the rhetoric about management, you must understand it is a challenging time for the agency, so i will not address that in any direct way. regarding fare hikes, there is always the possibility that people could make other transportation choices. again, that is not where we would like to be going. we would like to see people returning to the system even if they stay away for awhile. clearly, sometimes they do not. i think we have had conversations about what would happen if the state money came through. gov. schwarzenegger past these bills. that is -- if gov. schwarzenegger passed these bills. i would expect there to be service structure changes. i would think we would expect something along those lines. bicycles are environmentally sustainable ways to get around. we want to encourage more people use bicycles. our mission is much more in the direction of encouragement as much as possible. reports about tep, we continue to implement where we can the service delivery. once ag

i think the president understands and all the national security team understand that it is a matter of transition based on conditions. it is a matter of taking and understanding and making is that your the afghans understand that as well and communicating that in a way that makes that confidence. it is a matter of actual performance on the ground. tavis: this comment has been, you know, this statement has been uttered soigts. we couldn't begin to count, -- so many times, we couldn't begin to count. michael steele suggests that afghanistan is the cemetery of empires. that has been said many times before. is it still the case, do you think? >> well, there has been a lot of empires go into afghanistan and not a lot of them have come out in tact. the most successful was alexander the great who got in by marrying into the tribe. he set up a government structure that worked. this argument about graveyard of empires i think is overapplied in the sense that a lot of afghans have supported us, up to 65 supported us a couple of years ago. the russians or the british never had close to that level
