it is the case that sba works with these organizations to try to help small businesses understand how to get credit and fine tools to be able to do that. sba programs cover a wide range, and i will talk about this range of lending and the kinds of things we do, but in many ways, we do not do it alone. we do it with partners, and that is the takeaway message, the sba lending activity, while would guarantee loans through a number of lenders, we do it with a lot of other partners as well. let me give a little bit of a sense of what the small business administration does and is. we in san francisco covered the bay area and north coast counties, and we do a variety of things. i will come back to the credit card because i know that is what this session is about, but before i do that, there's two other roles we play that are important as well. one is about helping small businesses understand how to start businesses, getting good technical assistance, getting good advice about starting and managing your business. equally important is being prepared for credit. one of the things we tried to do

it is very difficult understand. i believe there is an omission, the exact kind of detailed openings create the facades that are compatible. this project reminds me of the heated discussions we had where the only names -- you probably remember from a few weeks ago, we did not understand what was going on. i am not opposed to this project, but there is something in the presentation that is missing for me to be really fair to the thing. the disclosure that i would be more inclined, it is quite massive. i am kind of hedging what the other commissioners have to say. commissioner antonini: i have to look at rendering of what the appearance of the building will be on the north elevation. i see a picture here. it is hard to understand what we are going to see. it looks as though there is an additional level, a tile roof that will match. it would be nice if we had a better image so we could really see. there are windows, i guess, up on top. i think the material should contain something that is a little bit better a rendering

so much more and understanding who we are and understanding where what we thought o as in a sense didn't quite understand about behavior and how there was a connection to biology. and eric has helped us understand that he is my great friend and has been the guiding hand and light and mind... $it's been a shared experience if i may interrupt you. >> i am pleased to say this is 12 parts. we will do more. captioning sponsored by rose commucatis captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org

the fact of the matter is, if we do not understand the constitution, if our children do not understand the constitution, and appreciate the separation of powers, and appreciate the different roles that are branches of government are meant to play, how are our elected officials opposed to understand? what has happened today in washington? what is happening to our country? what is happening to a saying that we all have heard? i will ask people to raise their hands. do you remember going to school when we all heard the statement, "i don't agree with what to say, but i will defend to the death your right to say it." to do you remember that? how many of you recall saying that? every single person in this room raised their hand. today, the statement is, "i don't agree with what to say, and if you say it, you are a bum, and you should not say it, and i don't like to." where did we lose our way? what happened to us as a country? we cannot have a civil discord and discussion amongst ourselves and still respect the other point of view. is it 24-hour-day cable? is it a society that says "i won't

i didn't understand. for instance, our understanding of bin laden, that he was this physical jar and counted that he had kidney disease, deduce it leaves wholly in his youth, that he was a billionaire. you know, that was where i started as almost all americans did. i didn't have any understanding of who it was at all. i had no idea what he really wanted. >> host: and what did you find out? >> guest: well, on the subject of bin laden, i talked to a lot of friends and relatives and i would always ask him how tall is he? and at first i was going to be noncontroversial. some of his closest friends were about my height and in those cases six-foot tall. i would think to myself, that's not true. i know he must be six-foot five, six-foot eight, but i began to hear a lot from people saying he was even smaller than six feet. occasionally you get someone you had met him once and say that he was a real joy. i had a long section of my footnotes describing this is a man whose height ranges from five-foot 926-foot nine,

we are in the planning phase of that and trying to understand what the time line is they will need in order to have those needs met and working closely with the city so we don't recreate the wheel and we leverage existing access whether 311 or neighborhood services, working with congresswoman pelosi's office and having direct connections to the federal agencies that ned to deliver some -- need to deliver pieces. i think that is generally what you need to know is going on with the organizing committee. we will add more members. we are also helping for the advancement of the sustainability plan and community benefits package. >> can you go over the money part again? what is your total obligation and time line? >> the host city agreement calls for $32 million to be raised by the local organizing committee. it is broken up in terms of deliverables. the first $12 million is due by the end of the environmental review process. i defer to the city on exactly what the time of that will be. i think we are on track to meet the commitments of the host city agreement at the end of this year. we ar

understanding that. it didn't make things any easier, but i did understand that there were differences. and, of course, your job at the n.e.a. is to promote art, promote public art, promote art education. you don't go in every morning and say, you know, "we ought to find some more shocking projects that we can support." and you mentioned you got some advice very early on from nancy kassebaum, the junior senator from kansas who said, "don't try to explain controversial art to congress." that turn out to be good advice? it actually was excellent advice, because i think i thought, "well, if i could just educate people "about what art is and what controversial art is "and why it's always going to be there "throughout all times and places, i could change people's minds." and what nancy kassebaum said to me is, "don't try to defend controversial art. "you can't do it. "there are going to be some people "who are just never going to accept it, and there are going to be some who will understand it." and orrin hat

you have to understand that there are major telescopes on the ground. we have now about 10 telescopes that are 8-10 nerts size. in other words, they are more than twice the diameter, more than 4 times the light gathering power of the telescope which was the world's largest for a long time. 10 more under construntion. we the the largest telescopes, two in hawaii and 4 in chile. and there are many others around the world. and in addition, we have great radio telescopes which although they are getting radio signals, they allow us to make detailed images using radio waves and by cross comparing the data from these different telescopes, we can learn more than we could from any one telescope. >> what do you think about the size of the universe? >> we know nows sight of the visible universe. i can tell what you it is. 46 billion light years from here to as far as we can see. >> that's beyond the power of the human imagination to conceive, though, correct? >> the imagination has to be trained. it would have been hard even for a professional astronomer to unders

for example we do not understand zor all of turkey in this new middle east we do not understand that the collapse of egypt is a regional player. created a situation in which turkey is a regional player and probably is a cornerstone of the american strategy and diplomacy in the middle east create a situation in which it is a major interest of america. to empower turkey as the middle east becomes more unstable who benefits. from the extremist players in the middle east benefit from curious. whether it is. how masts other a very extreme groups i think that pragmatic players are losing and this is why it is so important to try to create a pragmatic free more broad matic axis of players what it can bring peace to the region beasts will not come. with. no hope. if people will not believe that it is achievable. is there another two bit. so the question should be what should be do what should be do or what can we do in order to create top mr i mean i want to thank you very much for joining us here on our team thank you very much. this was a city. of about one hundred ninety thousand people a

but if i understand you, you understand that this is an imperfect system. >> one thing that we understand -- this is the power of the district attorney's office to pursue the conviction. he has the right to the judge and the trial, but by the same token, i have never heard the district attorney say -- did he ever prosecute a police officer for perjury. did he ever prosecute? and any other office persecutes -- prosecute. continue to do that. did they ever prosecute anyone as a prosecutor for of seen things were bad things. when you try to put accountability together, you look at the whole picture and was going on in the trial. where is most of the misconduct happening. it becomes important. who is up to, so unless we can put accountability not just with the district attorney, he needs to have accountability. we need to find out who will be responsible for the prosecutors that go wild, and how do we deal with this? does the defendant get a chance to make that claim? what happened? nothing. this is his witness. >> can you tell me this story that you told me? you showed me a photograph of a m

do you understand, sir? >> yes, i don't know what you're talking about, but, yes, i understand what you're saying. >> judge judy: i just want you to clearly understand. so don't ascribe motives to her. i don't say that vandalism is an appropriate response, but if i knew that somebody posted this vile filth on the internet about me, thereby exposing me to all kinds of predators and perverts, it wouldn't be their tires i would go after. [ scattered laughter ] it would be something much closer to them. >> announcer: "judge judy" continues in a moment. >> i don't want her to see some pictures. >> judge judy: i certainly didn't even want to look at them, sir. they're disgusting. >> you must have the wrong phone. >> judge judy: no, i got the right phone. i got the right phone, and i got right phone. i got the right phone, and i got your number. >> announcer: real cases. real people.

they understand that will not have board approval. if we get your consent, they understand will not have your approval in that timeframe. >> is there a way to go back to them and try to negotiate the terms or see if they are open to it? >> we could do that. it compromises our overall ability to serve through a western approach. we already have a basic resource contract with them and that extends beyond this term. it is very cheap power. >> he will see how strongly they feel about that, having a contract with them, but not as long. >> it is unlikely. >> i suspect this is the way they do business. this is how we are interacting with everyone else. survey, why an exception for you? >> if we were cannot take, there would not be a penalty? >> i think we can come back at the next meeting and provide more detail on that, that is my understanding in the conversation with the attorney that drafted this. it goes to your issue about what rate we are buying this power at. this is more of an option to purchase that overlay of power, and there is a

but just to give you a way to understand this is what is going on. this is what millions of people have gone through. they've had relapses and many of those people go on and recover. so it's not-it's tough, but it's not the end of the world. in terms of the family, let's be honest, the family suffers, too. it's not just the person in recovery. many family members, all family members with the children, etc. suffer a great deal and i think the recovery supports need to include the family and i know like the 12-step al-anon and nar-anon are for family members. and for the children, ala-teen. right, ala-teen for the children and there was-during the 1980s in california during the social model movement, alcohol recovery movement, back in the 1980s there was a wise man in the same county that leon panetta is that argued that if the whole country adopted al-anon principles, we all would be a lot better off in terms of actually helping people in recovery. that they're very constructive ways of helping, not capitulating but standing firm and helping, so i thi

i just do not understand. supervisor farrell: to add to that point, no other jurisdictions, and there are a lot of other jurisdictions, have come up with a solution. this has been around since the summer. no other jurisdictions have come up with a solution. to think we are going to implement something in one week that will stymie a lawsuit and save our taxpayer dollars is a dream. i am all for finding a long-term solution to this, but right now it is fixing the problem at hand. president chiu: supervisor cohen. supervisor cohen: nothing. president chiu: there is no motion in front of us to rescind this vote. supervisor elsbernd: i will make the motion to rescind or one week and hear from supervisor mirkarimi. president chiu: seconded by supervisor campos. any objection to the motion to rescind? without objection, this motion passes. we will continue this meeting to october 4. supervisor elsbernd: would it be advisable from the city attorney to continue the closed session item to next week so he can get whateve
