kind of unique, right? that brings us to our first story. you know, in san francisco, they have more than 3,500 restaurants, and it's a number that's constantly changing because of some closing and some opening, but we found one restaurant that takes the farm-to-floor concept to an entirely different level. you may remember matthew and terces engelhart from our story a few years ago. they're the owners of the small but popular chain of restaurants in the bay area called cafe gratitude. >> it's amazing. it's delicious, amazing, beautiful. >> you may also remember cafe gratitude because the menu was particularly unique there. none of the entrees were cooked. nothing but raw food was served, and in a town where being different and unique is embraced, the idea was a success, and so the couple recently opened another eclectic restaurant called gracias madre in san francisco. the menu is mostly vegetarian, but unlike their previous eateries, the food is cooked here, and as the name suggests, the restaurant has a latin flare that was in part actual

yeah. ♪ >> what makes your dish unique? >> i like it spicy and smoky.l take fresh italian tomatoes and the fresh seafood, and will bring them to other with some nice spoked paprika and some nice smoked jalapeno peppers. i am going to stew them up and get a nice savory, smoky, fishy, tomatoy, spicy broth. >> bring it on. how are you feeling? >> i feel good. i spent the $20 and have a few pennies less. i am going to go home and cook. i will text message u.n. is done. >> excellent and really looking forward to it. >> today we're going to make the san francisco classic dish invented by italian and portuguese fishermen. it'll be like a nice spaghetti sauce. then we will put in the fish soup. the last thing is the dungeon as crab, let it all blend together. it will be delicious. when i could, i will try to make healthy meals with fresh ingredients, whatever is in season and local. those juicy, fresh tomatoes will take about an hour to cook down into a nice sauce. this is a good time to make our fish stock. we will take a step that seems like trash and boil it

world's shelves are crammed with some four million hard covers and paperbacks with nearly 2.5 million unique titles. >> right here we're looking at a book understanding nutrition that could have come in from the university of nebraska or who knows where. and it's right next to a book about donald rumsfeld, yep it's a completely random put away. >> reporter: kreece fuchs is one of better world's three co- founders. the trio of former university of notre dame students hatched the idea for the company in their dorm. they found they could make more money selling their used text books over the internet than back to the school bookstore. >> over the course of that summer after i graduated, i would get an email saying your book sold and i would run to the post office and ship the book and you know a few days later i sold another book. >> reporter: last year better world made about $55 million buying and selling new and used books. the company donated roughly $2 million to literacy programs and to libraries which give better world their unwanted inventories. the public library in evanston, illinois

between the past, present, and future, but we want to cross the contemporary art program with our unique characteristics. where are was made, it was always contemporary. so we need to look at the art not only from the time of their making but also from today's perspective. they make a connection between the are being made today. this is one possible work of art. we will and juxtaposed these contemporary works of art with these masterpieces from other collections, whether they were made 100 years ago or two dozen years ago. another thing we are doing, creating a super brand about our contemporary project, making the connection between the part of the past and art of today. the second unique thing about this exhibition is it will not only be presented in the special exhibition galleries, and will be presented also in the second and third for collection areas. in other words, the whole building is at the disposal of our visitors to engage, enable them to have an experience. making a concrete, active dialogue between the art of the past and the art of today. let me now in by our associate cu

as he says, it is a unique building 80 can't quibble over every detail. it is a noteworthy thing in the department's needs all the support it can get, especially these days. supervisor chu: are there other members of the public that wish to speak on item number one? supervisor kim: thank you. this is just a question in regard to the budget analyst report to the real estate. just a larger question, i know that it did not make sense for us to look out purchasing a small or medium-sized building. what is the policy, what do we look at when determining how the purchase makes more sense? we know that we are going to have to continue for this type of use. >> in 2006-2007, when the first increase in rent was about to come into play, we did have significant discussions with the owner about possibly buying this asset. when we compare those numbers of debt service as well as the existing expenses, the city would bear the landlord -- and the numbers did not equate to a point where a purchase made sense. continuing to lease made sense at that time. we maintained purc

each case is unique, but the demands of the young generation is same and one for all. and our approach to this transformation, it's the same, but in each case, we had different diplomatic matters to help with the practice. today, in syria, what we tried to do is, unique as compared to egypt and libya or tunisia, first of all, let me say, last month when i went to tehran, before going there, i gave a press conference, and a statement, we said we don't want to have cold war structures in our region, cold war tensions, a new cold war polarization in our country. and today when the resolution was vetoed i repeated the same, we do not want to see new cold war logic rising in our region. what did i mean? i mention inside the region, new polarizati ons, such as shiite and suni countries. there was rejectionist camps, we do not want that type of separation. or pro west anti-west countries. in our region today, there's one single difference, those who are trying to keep cold war structures and those who are trying to understand the flow, the logic of the flow of history. and tr

our staff feels the have the unique opportunity to work there each year. they embrace it with the realization that they're able to be outdoors and have respect for it. we ensure that any disruption to the activities is minimized. we even work with rates organizers. when they brought the concerns over proximity to staging to our attention, it was addressed. we understand that the park needs to be left in better condition than when we find it. audial levels have always been a huge consideration for us. we are fortunate that the majority of our acts are sophisticated in nature. we monitor neighborhood levels voluntarily with a meter. we feel part of an extended family with our artists and we touch high production values with little to no infrastructure. it is amazing how well behaved the crowds are, despite the volume of attendees. they can interact with the public and have an opportunity with other locations around the world. [tone] supervisor mar: thank you so much. i will call a few more names. [reads names] >> the other thing is i have copies of the natio

of course, for all seniors, including lgbt seniors, issues around discrimination unique to lgbt seniors. we heard stories of people had to go back into the closet when they go into retirement communities or nursing homes. issues are around housing, the expense of housing, issues around people losing an apartment and not being able to afford to stay in the city. but also another issue have been trying to raise and have more front and center, issues around architectural barriers. we want seniors to be about to age in place and be up to stay in their homes. for some seniors to have stable housing, they own their homes or have an apartment there secure in, but more and more it becomes difficult for them to stay there because of stairs or other architectural barriers, and i represent other neighborhoods including the castros, which is a huge concentration of lgbt people, and it is an aging population. castro is expensive. that are not as many young that lgbt people as there were before, and we have a wonderful and beautiful housing stock that is not particularly accessible. i selfishly, as r

each of you have traveled a unique path to get here. fields represent the full spectrum of the arts and humanities. with us are actors and poets authors, singers philosophers, sculptors, curators, musicians and historians. we even have an economist, which we don't always get on stage. [laughter] but what connects every one of you is that you dwell in possibilities. you create new possibilities for all of us. and that's a special trait. and it assigns you a special task. because in moments of calm as in moments of crisis; in times of triumph, as in times of tragedy: you help guide our growth as a people. the true power of the arts and the humanities is that you speak to everyone. there is not one of us here who hasn't had their beliefs challenged by a writer's eloquence; or their knowledge deepened by a historian's insights; or their sagging spirits lifted by a singer's voice. those are some of the most endearing and memorable moments in our lives. equal to the impact you have on each of us every day as individuals is the impact you have

i find that i typically look for now unique sites. am more into waterfront locations or conversions of the states and to restaurants. i think others look for high visibility, and high traffic, and i think that it's very important. >> my instinct and my heart is to find locations that are off kilter, a little off the beaten path. now that's not always intelligent. i have been wrong about that sometimes. but i like things that are not on the corner of main and main. a little off so that you feel a little different, a little special about where you are going. >> what do you think? you have started so many restaurants, stephen, so if you had to say one thing that the successful ones have had, what do you think it is? >> incredible concepts, and unbelievable persevere yuns on our part. a lot of people come up with great ideas and open it and then they have to maintain it, and maintaining the food quality is the most daunting thing any of us have to face. >> what about you, frank? >> i would say consistency in staff. i think customers like

. >> it's unique. will not see anything like it where you go to compete in the world. competitions in ireland, scotland, norway, japan, russia each year, the facilities here in the park are second to none. there is no complex in the world that can touch it. >> i'm here with bob, and he has kindly agreed to tell me everything i need to know about casting. i'm going to suit up and next, we're in the water. >> what any gentleman should do. golden gate angling has free lessons the second saturday of every month. we have equipment show up on the 9:30 on the second saturday of every month and we'll teach them to fly cast. >> ok. we are in the water. >> let me acquaint you with the fly rod. >> nice to meet you. >> this is the lower grip and the upper grip. this is a reel and a fly line. we are going to use the flex of this rod to fling away. exactly as you moved your hands. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> i'm a natural. >> push both arms forward and snap the lower hand into your tummy. push forward. >> i did gave it a try and had great time but i might need some more practice.

the white house uniquely came out to us.hey invited educators to the white house last fall, and they announced that they had this initiative that they were actually going to engage nationwide. and san jose was honored to be selected as one of the host cities. it was phenomenal because we were able to invite 500 leaders in our community to participate. and what was very unique is the fact that it was an open space format. so there was no preset agenda. it was an invitation sent out to all the bay leaders inviting them to come out and talk about all the issues near and dear to their heart. >> we were watching some similar event that happened late last year in other parts of the count country. but i hear -- and unfortunately i was not there. but i hear that the white house staffers and those who represent the white house got not an earful from the local crowd. i mean, we didn't come here to say yes or yes, ma'am. they heard from us. >> they did. and they were at every table. we had breakout sessions. so they made sure to assign

>> the metric we use is unique visitors. on an average weekday, we get about 200,000 unique visitors to the site. >> how many per month? >> upwards of 3 million. and sometimes over that. it is growing. the audience grew by about 40% last year. >> how many people work for you? >> at this moment, we have 28 full-time staff. >> based where? >> new york. two-thirds of the staff is in new york and arrested here in washington, d.c. >> back in 2002, we had a camera in a room on capitol hill. we were the only camera there. after we showed this, a lot of things began to happen and i think they have had an impact on your life. let us run this clip and see what you can tell us about it. >> it is a pleasure for me to be here with you today. i know you are enjoying every minute of this. i knew that the previous remarks would be just as they were. after all, bob dole received the nomination and was almost elected telling strom thurmond jokes. [laughter] i want to say this about my state, when strom thurmond and president, we voted for him

it is unique in our plan. it is outside the scope of what was announced for. thank you for considering it. our plan follows the guidelines of the master plan. it includes 680,000 square feet of usage space, below ground parking spaces, and mobil outdoor plazas the will connect the historic buildings to each other with art, dining, and performance spaces. this is central to the restaurant proposal for 102. the additional development of the in felsites -- in-fill sites along illinois are important for the success of the project. it will help to make this dream a reality. thank you. president ho: our next presentation is from the partnership of equity community builders. bill vasquez will start this off. it should be full screen. i am just looking for full screen mode. >> thank you for the excellent introduction. i am lou vasquez. for the public record, and like to say go niners. this team is a response to the question we were announced a couple of years ago in meetings with our esteemed port director and staff. the question is what you do if you were us. we have

supervisor olague: yes, it just seems like such a unique situation. i am not familiar with this being a common practice here. i am wondering, are there any other examples of where this off-sale type license has been used on any other establishments, restaurants, or bars? >> there are not that many for the type 40. however, there are other places in the city that wish to use those jugs, in some places have the privilege of using them, so they do get to take the beer off-sale. supervisor olague: so there could be additional conditions placed on that. that is the only way i would feel comfortable. some different rules probably apply, but i know that in some instances, at least in the previous role i played in the planning commission, we would sometimes ask for a six-month report. i do not know if that is something that is done here necessarily, but some kind of status to see how it is or it is not working because it is not a common practice. to kind of get a sense of how, you know, if it is evolving and that sort of thing. >> ok. supervisor chu: thank yo

most chefs shouldn't, anyway. >> having a shared kitchen does pose a unique challenge.hen customers ask to share burgers at beesley's and chicken at chuck's? no. >> we coach our staff on talking points and how to address it. >> if we allow people to come on e burger side and have fried chicken, it's just one big restaurant and that's not what we wanted. >> these are two different restaurants, they're two different concepts. you have to draw the line somewhere. >> and while there's an emergency exit that links beasley's and chuck's, customers can't use it. they must leave one space and go outside to get to the other two. >> just like you would if you were in one restaurant and decided to go to another restaurant, you'd have to exit that restaurant. it is something that people find challenging knowing us pretty interest meat. >> while fox liquor bar largely has its own staff the employees at the restaurants are interchangeable. people move around to meet customer demands. >> there are subtle differences in the way you approach things. at the end of the day, good service i

the bay area restaurant serving up a unique experience for diners. good evening, i'm ken bastida. >> and i'm dana king. he is old enough to know better, but a 21-year-old college student is on life support after ingesting a dangerous mixture of drugs and alcohol. >> parents say he didn't have to end up that way and they blame the university for his condition. robert lyles is in berkeley to explain what happened. robert. >> reporter: the mother of a former uc berkeley student. former because he has od's. now she says her once athletic son has just one body movement, his eyelids. this was john gibson st. patrick's day 2010. this is john gibson today. >> john is in a vegetative state. he is unable to communicate. he's unable to swallow or breathe on his own. he has to be fed through a tube. >> gibson's family is suing, saying he likely suffered a heart attack while partying with his roommate, a lethal combo of marijuana, alcohol, and cocaine. all taken inside the co-op just two blocks from campus. in fact, the 21-year-old junior's mother accuses his roo

it is a unique place and i would not take the uniqueness away, but i do think that it is not good for the leadership and not good for the country when it is always being attacked or torn down by the people inside of the institution. most of the colleagues here know that tom and i didn't do that. we tried to make it better and not worse. >> i just couldn't agree more emphatically with what trent just said. i would add one thing, and that is, there is a reason why we only had one cloture vote on the 30s and 40s per congress and the last congress had 230 close chur vote -- cloture votes. one, just expediting the work of the senate we started a process of dual track, and where we set a bill aside and take up another bill. while that sounded logical and it is logical in so many ways, what it did was made the filibuster much less painful. it made it much more acceptable, and we will put the bill aside and come back to it. and then we triple track and then quadruple tack and quintuple track and then for a while seven or eight bills that were all the question of filibuster that we had set asi

this is an issue for a very unique block. throughout this process, mary and troy have reached out as have margaret chan burris and they have been very professional about this. we have barbeques and block parties, we talked in the street every night. where are out there with our dogs. we have close relationships. my concern was i became involved this would have set the nature of this unit block as you will hear that most places that go for sale so within days. even in this market. it is unique. as an attorney and believe in fairness. the fairness is the overwhelming majority of the houses are four stories and the fairness is 16 -- the house has had six owners since we moved in. one couple moved due to divorce and the other, there were transferred to new york but the three other families moved because the house was not conducive to a family. they moved to orange county. my wife and i raised our family in a single one -- a similar situation. it was enjoyable. we had hoped to be had more space but maybe someday we will ask for th

the public defender has a unique and natural role as a messenger. we have more interaction, meaningful interaction come up with the victims of police misconduct and anyone else in government, the media, the criminal justice system, and these are not superficial interactions that we have. we are not their bank tellers. we get into the intimate details of their lives in the course of representing defendants, and we hear their stories, we hear their accounts, we develop a relationship of mutual trust so that we can confide their stories about police misconduct to us. so the rule is really unique. the stories from our clients about police misconduct are commonplace. everything from a disregard for the fourth amendment, theft, perjury, and the stories -- when you hear them over and over -- there becomes a real ring of truth to them, a consistency that makes it impossible for us, as attorneys, hearing the stories to dismiss them out of hand. the videos are not the first time that misconduct has ever happened. they are just the first time for us. let me us

that is not unique to the cab industry.e are gradually making a lot of those 311 issues, not really responding, they do a good job of passing along complaints someone saying that a cab driver made an inappropriate remark, or whenever, how would this process go to the mta and how would the process go? >> i would encourage everyone to use that system. we have 7000 individuals out there and it is hard for us to bring them all to a certain level of quality all at once. if we find particular issues with a vehicle or driver, we want to get that into our data. the issue of calling someone back out after a complaint is something, as we have come in and created a new process, we have found that sometimes we would call people back and they were upset that we had called them back. saying that they had already called in -- what are you bothering me for? i already left the details. these other ones that seem the most sensitive. we are still finding our way as far as the right procedures and whether to call someone back. what does happen

>> this is not a unique issue. there are a lot of issues that people say, we are going to have some that people no matter what we decide. let's try to get through the election until -- before we decide. that view is being taken on a lot of issues and always is by incumbents in public office. look at the agenda in congress. there are a lot of things that could be brought up and discuss that are not being brought up and discussed. >> we have 10 minutes left. let's discuss your committee work. there were bills ticket and have not necessarily gotten a final ok. claire mccaskill speaks about our partisan successes. she is wondering when democratic leaders will move. will you tell them to move quickly on bills that are piling up? >> the problem is a practical one. when he brings a bill to the senate floor, unless there is agreement with republican members of the senate, we have unlimited debate and unlimited right to amend. that gets you to a circumstance where you cannot complete a bill. you wind up having to get clotur

supervisor campos: i have always felt that san francisco is unique. i have always loved this city. think that san francisco is -- it represents the best of what this country has to offer. it is a place that welcomes people from all over the world, from all over the country, and is a place that not only tolerates, but actually increases diversity. it is a place that is forward thinking in terms of how it looks at issues, and it has always felt like home. as a gay latino man, i felt this was a place where i could be happy. >> why did you get involved? supervisor campos: i think a lot of the past to do with my being an immigrant. i am very grateful for all the opportunities this country has given me. only in this country could someone like me have an opportunity to go from having nothing to go to stanford, harvard law school, and to be an attorney. it really is a way of giving back. i really believe that when you are blessed with the opportunities that this country gives you, that you have an obligation to give back. i really believe in public service. i could be in the private sector

city and we do or best to celebrate that uniqueness with our festival. we came here 6.5 years ago to introduce this idea of a world- class music festival. we always envisioned this as having a very similar cultural and financial impact to the city. something that is a great source of local pride, with people coming from throughout the bay area and the country to this event. i also want to add that since day one, it has been a very collaborative effort with the rec and park and all of the local agencies. sf pd, muni, fire, again reconed park. i could get -- rec and park. i could go on. many of the ways that we mitigate the impact of the event in the park came from these conversations with the neighborhoods. supervisor mar: thank you, mr. scott. thank you. i will call several more names. [ reid' reads names] >> hello. i wanted to say that hardly strictly is an event that i look forward to every year, amongst the community of musicians that i know from around the country. these festivals are something that everyone inspired -- aspires to be a part of. i thi

that is what makes us unique. the bill of rights, if you think of the things that shine brightly in america, it was defend national freedoms in the bill of rights. it is not as the trampling of obamacare on our economic rights, the ability to choose a health care plan, choose providers and hospitals, to is the kind of health service you want to purchase, you'll have five plans. you have to comply with the government. if you don't, you will be fined. your employer is going to be fined. it is prescriptive, it tells you exactly what to do and how to do it. they say it is not a government run health care system, but i do not know what is. it tells the insurance companies how much money they have to pay out in claims. imagine. if the government tells your business or tells your family how much money you have to spend on food dish year, this is what they're doing with the insurance companies. you have to pay 85% of the money received in claims. 15% to run their business and make a profit. we would be telling business is
