we are just underutilizing it and we're underutilizing it because we don't have the partnership we need with the medical community to make certain that's getting address in kentucky. >> 0 would it be helpful to work with the medical schools, the dental schools, to develop a curriculum in the area? >> i speak to the students on an annual basis to tell them how big the problem is and to look out for this. it's a balance here. the medical community gets nervous whenever an attorney general or lawmaker gets in the middle of a doctor/patient relationship and i respect that. there ought to be some way to see the disturbing trend. in kentucky our data monitoring law says i have to have a designated case, a bona fide case on a designated target. i can't look at trends. i can't see where the problems are. i have to look at mr. smith. the data is there and i can't tell you how incredibly frustrating that is. >> do you believe the federal government should consider certain minimum standards for doctors, for doctor education or training in the area of addiction medications? >> i don't think it's a

it is reminding all of us what it is like to be underappreciated, underrepresented, and underutilized. it supports the village project and aspires to create a community kitchen to strengthen, solidify, and cement the commitment to everyone in district 5. it is one reason i stand before you again tonight. >> we will hear from john, jim, christine, and john, and chris. >> i m director of the steel which is a filipino arts organization. i am here to talk about district 6, and i am here on behalf of the filipino american forum on redistricting. i am passing out a map right now. is it possible to use the overhead? >> is possible. >> rate. -- great. the reason i'm here, i want to say on behalf of the filipino american community that we are very happy with all the hard work that you put into this. i am happy for you that it is almost over and you get to rest. there is one concern that we do have with the recent working draft. there is a proposal to actually make the border of district 6 right here along thirteenth, and as you concede that we have a very high concentration of filipino america

there are a lot of design issues with in the park that make it underutilized and difficult for the staff to supervise and run programs in the park. you can see in that aerial photograph, there are two parcels together. the clubhouse is 4 feet below, so it is impossible to look out. the fences are tall and surround the park and divide up every activity in the park. no matter where you are, you feel like you are in prison and cannot see throughout the park. spaces are odd. there is a triangular or lawn and only one remaining playground which is unsafe. there is a half-court for basketball which is still functioning but does not serve the community as well as it could. we held about 10 community workshops trying to get input from a broad spectrum of people on the concept plans. we had our reach in multiple languages and tried to make an inclusive process. the committee came up with the fact that it should be safe for all residents and should provide something for everyone and make the best use of park space available. with that mission and specific comments of the community and working with

stewards of these resources, and they are often underutilized resources, so how do we improve access to those? there is a lot to learn from this that could be applied to the public comments. >> thank you. let's open it up. do we have a microphone for people to come to? ok, we will just it old school. if you have a question, raise your hand, and speak loudly. concise questions will be greatly appreciated. >> [inaudible] >> did everyone here that? ok. >> something that is really amazing about the sharing economy is it is being pioneered in cities. cities exist because of sharing because it is more efficient and more productive to collaborate and share resources, and that is something we are seeing, that our biggest markets are big metropolitan cities, which is different when you look at the tourism industry throughout the world. i mean, of course, we will be in the beach towns, but, the real innovative factor here is it is happening in cities, and it is because the way we work and live is different. we are more transient, mobile, flexible. we do not stay in the same job for our entire

we were knocking hell hole in the wall of a shed that was underutilized.we are, most of the shed is gone. we are looking at the future racing village of the america's cup. we are so lucky to be here in san francisco. thank you for participating. [applause] i will continue telling you that i am so lucky, not just to be a mayor, but to be a resident of san francisco at this time the. to see the rebirth of our old port and to welcome in thousands of people. with your help and thanks to david chew and his leadership at the board level, and all of the different departments working with the event authority, with the organizing committee. thank you for your wonderful leadership here. charlotte, i like that title, "sir." the mayor is 1 thing, that is elevating it a bit. i would like to thank everyone because there are so many elements that were done to put this together. this is working with our local patrons, our commissioners on the port. all the different elements that have come together, they have such fantastic people to step up to get an agreement with the c

in february and documented by the youth commission, the recreation area has been tremendously underutilized for the past five years. after five years of very little use, the juvenile probation department has not included in its capital improvements the types of investments needed for full access to the recreation areas in the department's 10- year plan. i think it is important to have a public conversation about what it would take to have full use of recreation areas. there also been issues raised about whether we are compliant with state regulations regarding physical education. i ask that this item be sent to our public safety committee. i submit the rest of my items. supervisor olague: colleagues, today i am introducing an ordinance to waive the temporary occupancy fee for small business week sidewalk sales. this is the eighth year the office of small-business, in coordination with the department of public works, is requesting approval from the board of supervisors in waving beefy for temporary -- the fee for temporary the street space occupancy. small business events will be held may 13

adjacent neighborhoods also contain underutilized industrial space.ccordg to some experts, new enterprise will succeed only if it exploits fundamental geographic advantages. commerce in roxbury, for instance, should capitalize onlose psical connections to the central business district. here, proximity can partially compensate for a population with low worker skills. east's hopeful that their proposal integrates the best economic, political d ban geography, east's the boston team meets one last ptime before submission. what we have been able tos to incorporate all of the important points that people ha made. narrator: they submit the proposal and begin the waiting game. six months later, the winners are annoced, and boston receives a $47 million second prize.

institute, we have heard there are some excellent instances in which you could argue the building is underutilized in its present use and student housing would make more sense. we need to look at that and obviously, there have been abuses in the past. we are sticking to the production of new housing. supervisor wiener: thank you. next speaker. >> a good afternoon. and the president of save our streets, tenants and merchants association. we operate in the lower nob hill historic apartment district and we are having a terrible, terrible problem with the art academy students. the housing in the area is being taken over by them. they're taking over large buildings where there are 100 units occupying 90 percent of it and we are running into a lot of problems. this is the most densely populated area west of new york city. hist in six blocks, we have 293 buildings on the national registry of historic places. this area needs to be protected. we have graffiti, skateboarding, loitering and displacement of tenants. here is an example of the graffiti. this is a brochure. that is absolutely ridiculous to have

i'm told that sutter argues here that their existing psychiatric beds are underutilized since they closed the 32 inpatient beds at st. lukeas, they have accepted any of them from psych emergency. my colleague texted me and said they're telling the commission that 90% of the commission in p.e.s. are not acute and don't need to be there. i really hope he messed up that quote because i can't believe anybody would actually stand here and tell you that. to begin with, 65 to 75% of the people who are brought into p.e.s. are on a 5150 psych hold from the police. so they're there for sure. this morning at 11:00, psychiatric emergency was on condition red with 21 patients, eight of whom were slated as needing admission without any open beds at sfgh. you have just heard from one of the nurses at st. like's, they kind find psychiatric beds for their own patients who are on their medical units and need transfer to cpmc. i can promise you that p.e.s. staff is not wasting its time calling up cpmc asking them to take our patients. sutter would like to pretend that they can open and run two general hospi

it caused the conversation, we are sitting on assets that are underutilized. how can we do that and ask the taxpayers to give the school district money? we have to think about everything we have and maximize everything we have while we try to deal with the gaps. it is just my way of saying, every mayor told me i had to go in and dig out cuts. i am just trying to put that same imagination and everyone that works around me. i invest in neighborhoods. that has been my mantra. as you know, from my past speeches, the hardest job in my life was dpw director, but it was the most gratifying because i got to know every neighborhood in the city. when you get to pick up trash, of a graffiti, you remember those walls and alleyways and the streets that the neighbors complained about. if you can figure out how to get it cleaned consistently, then you do not hear the same complaints. they will be on your back. this is what i love about the city. i also remember as dpw director, they had that watch column that put me in there every two weeks. i was famous. my e-mail, cell pho

africa is so blessed with energy resources that are either not developed or underdeveloped and underutilized or being developed in ways that are not good for sustainable development. so you know, we are interacting at the highest levels of government to try to work on that. thirdly, the growth and opportunities act is a tremendous tool. we have actively worked the last three years to, you know, help countries take better advantage of it. a lot of countries that are members don't really utilize it to the fullest. and also to work with countries that could benefit from it. we have the partnership for growth. we have the feed the future. we have the global health initiative. these are development objectives, but they are development objectives that are really focused on enhancing the capacity in african nations. the challenge grants operating in africa do some of the same work. we also have encouraged greater regional integration, like the development in east africa of a common market among some of the countries. we'd like to see that all over the continent. if african nations would open up the

it's underutilized and was vacant for many years. but what jeff proposes is just too big and will create too many problems if he expands his business to nearly double the size it is now. my main point to you today is that we as neighbors first said what do we want? 20 feet. no more. who wouldn't, right? but then we got serious. we have a number of successful rational neighbors. we didn't want the lawyers to win out on this with their fees and we didn't want to duke it out. so we wanted to negotiate. so what we did is we came up with a consensus and came up with a few plans which represented to you here and it still gives them three floors to live. they're one family. to live and work and run their family business. please see our design as an offering for what it is, a true compromise that fits well into the neighborhood and ample space for this family and their business. please don't approve an eyesore that 90% of tourists in san francisco will see, and i'd also like to just ask those neighbors not employees of the company, but neigh

they were not only not enough lifeboats but, u., they were underutilized. they only were on average 61% occupied. and the evacuation of the ship itself was not very -- was not done very well because they never practiced it. there's no lifeboat drills at the time. as people know. what they also came to, several conclusions, since been shown to be false, first of which was the position of where titanic sank. what they accepted as -- as fact was titanic sank at 47 north of -- 41 degrees north, 46 minutes north, 50 degrees, 14 west. this was the position of the s.o.s. position that was put in the historical record. it took until 85 years later when dr. robert discovered the record of titanic that we found that this site was erroneous. titanic sank about 13 miles east of that position. the other thing that happened is that 1912 there were a number of eyewitnesses that said they saw the ship split apart before it sank. the -- they did not accept that. they accepted word of four people, two of which happened to be titanic survivor surviving officers. that said the

should be supported by a real plan for parking and pedestrian circulation that utilize the existing underutilized building garages. one of the things presented earlier was something that set within a short walk, meaning immediately adjacent to the ferry building, parking is at 100%, but if you walk eight minutes away to embarcadero four, three, two, the alcoa building, those are virtually empty on week nights and weekends. we have based this on parking studies. finally, the eight washington project is before you. it asks you to give away public goods in the form of spot zoning, heightened use, as well as giving away public lands. what does the public debt in return? a massive underwater garage being touted as transit-oriented development? luxury condos at 1% that is touted as environmentally and socially sustainable? with little or no public benefit to the community and virtually no community support, as you will hear in the comments that follow. instead of approving this, a better option might be to ask the court to do what they should have done in the first place -- begin with a comprehensive p

underutilized by our physicians. house bill 93 required physicians treating pain management to utilize it. but as the, as the, exactly as you have alluded to as we have success in law enforcement. we are squeezing the balloon. people are moving to other states. and what's happened, the, the three states represented here today have all worked wonderfully together to tackle this issue. and to share that information and investigations. >> in deference to time. i think you are great models. i just want to see it replicated in all 50 states. can't have you operating independently. thank you, yield back my time. >> thank you, doctor, you are roitsz ed recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. first, mike ross and i, hr 4095, stop online pharmacy safety act which attempts to -- close down or at least prevent the publicizing of the rogue pharmacie pharmacies. so, hopefully we'll get co-sponsors on this. secondly, mr. ronazzi. man, with the databases y'all have, if we gave them to google. i have no doubt that go

it's definitely underutilized. i agree 100% the revolution was not about bread but a huge part of it was about apathy. it's just about millions upon millions of youth who have been looked at by the previous regime not as assets, not as resources, not as advantages, but actually as a burden. and we would like to reverse that and by giving more access to these millions of egyptians, we aim at increasing the competitiveness of the egyptian economy. and one way, of course, of doing that is to redefine what we call evaluating industries as those that are associated with the elevation in the capacity of the workforce. so whatever industry is going to add to the capacity of the work force to, number one, produce, number two join the knowledge economy at much more favorable terms is to us a value adding industry and hence, we're looking very closely now at things like the i.t., medical i.t., new energy and so on and so forth in an decision to the tradition industry. we would like to achieve four objectives. one objective i

we've been attempting to do for the last year and a half, sell off the properties that are unused, underutilized, and redevelop, put people back to work where we can by utilizing these funds. the public has a right to know how much money is in this fund, where it's been used, a full accountability of the past, and most importantly, what is going to happen in the future. we're going to hear from the new administrator this morning. about what has been done to reprimand those that have been involved. but again, this goes much deeper to what has already happened, those that have been fired, those that have been put on administrative leave, those that have resigned. the american public deserves to have money paid back. and where crimes have been committed, people will go to jail. and if we have to have future hearings on this topic, you bet we will. this is about the distrust of the american public and its government. this is about the waste of taxpayer dollars. and if you can sense my anger and frustration, you should see it at home. where we've got double-digit unemployment, the highest foreclosure

they have 14,000 buildings. 14,000 buildings either vacant or underutilized losing billions. to this waste at this convention is only the tip of the iceberg. >> well, some are saying that you are indicting all federal workers. are you? >> no. absolutely not. nor am i going after las vegas. harry reid came after me telling me to get a life. didn't want me to do these hearings, me and mr. ice is a. it's not about las vegas. it's a great community a great tourist destination but i think that if this happened in disney, if this happened at disney world or someplace else close by my district, its still offensive when you misuse taxpayer dollars. >> you know some people are asking -- lots of folks are asking why is it the person at the center of the controversy from the 2010 las vegas event, neely, is still receiving full pay and benefits? >> that's outrageous and something else i'm looking into. it's so hard to fire a federal employee. and this guy just kicked dirt in the face of -- not only the white house, which i believe was protecting him, but in the face of taxpayers. you kno
