all small businesses are unique in their own way. the challenge is to find a business that represents the things small business does for the community in ways everyone talks about the only one small business gets the chance to be recognized and honored this year. if i could get rebecca and john up first, so i can make sure you know who we are recognizing here. for sba, we try to recognize the business that is unique in a couple of ways. we look for a business that is financially successful. at the beginning of the 2000's they were doing $10 million a year. they hope to do $60 million a year this year. around a turn-of-the-century, they had a little over 100 employees. now they have 300 employees. it is now a nationwide coast to coast operation with locations in five places across the country. financially, operations best wide -- operations-wise, and hiring. it is a woman-managed manufacturing business in an industry that is not that big. for us, it represents a unique aspect of the fact that manufacturing in the united states works.

all of our horses every year please make us something unique. i hope your visit the store. thank you. >> to all of our supporters and sponsors, thank you. not if you came and, i hope you were able to meet up with some of our readers in the lobby with the special pen for heritage month. colombo was in the shape of an a. we hope you'll make a donation and purchase a pen and were it with pride throughout the month of may. there are also a number of sponsors that generously supported this year's celebration. the ads on buses around town as well as posters and coasting on face but -- facebook. we want to a knowledge the additional sponsors beginning with the heritage partner level. it includes southwest airlines and a big welcome to the newest sponsor, walgreen's. was that he will grains contingent died just heard? -- the walgreen's contingent i just heard? did you have cocktails' before coming here? the japan town merchants association, the garage association and in the sugar bowl the bakery, thank you for coming as well. and a big thanks to our media partners. we want to let y

what we're trying to foster is sort of a recovery-oriented system of care where the individual's unique needs are-are being addressed. you've got a catalog of issues. you've got the person participating in delineating what it is that they need because, indeed, at the core of all of this is what does the consumer need? and where is the consumer in terms of readiness for what it is that they need? so if the patient is not ready for your version of primetime, it's not going to work. so we want a consensus-based professionally facilitated process. so community-based services linked with the case management will allow that individual to access the best continuum of care possible under the circumstances. i think also in the disability community we look at home and community-based services as the alternative to living in a nursing home or institution, so that's an important buzz word for us. so i think as we see people moving from institutional care- the 35-year-old who lives in a nursing home because he can't afford attendant care, under aca would be able to move into the community, but then

that is part of unique and interesting. here is a guy, boxing has taken a toll on him today. if he had gotten out, there would be a different story. yet he understands that better than anyone who is able to communicate with fighters with a level of honesty with no other level of honesty. he understand what works for the sport and speaks honestly about it. despite it all can sit here and tell you he does not have any regrets. he does not feel sorry for himself. he loves the sport of boxing. it speaks to the confusion we have over contact sports, that we are aware of the damages the sports are doing to our brains and what concussions mean and what brain injuries are. we are still watching football and boxing. we are letting our kids play the sport. freddie is an interesting in to these discussions. tavis: what is your sense of why we are addicted to it? >> goes back to a primal, gladiator instinct that we love watching human beings compete and we love watching them dominate each other physically. it is in our dna. we are competitive animals. boxing speaks to that. ice hockey sp

all of our horses every year please make us something unique. i hope your visit the store. thank you.

we have the unique capacity now we're judged a relatively safe place for the savings of the world. we have a unique capacity now to combine some growth improving investments and infrastructure more teachers, tax incentives for business investments and things like that combined with long-term fiscal reforms to restore gravity to our fiscal position. if we could do those things now, we'd be in a stronger place to withstand the uncertainty you're going to face. >> now 42 senator haves signed up and said they are prepared to revisit bowles-simpson. is it time even if he cannot move a grand bargain between now and election day, is it time for the president to readdress that as many business leaders are saying and give some stronger signal that he would be willing to embrace those tough choices to give the markets a better sense of confidence going forward? >> let me say what i think would be most helpful. the most helpful things from washington in the nearly term would be a willingness to legislation things that would strengthen growth now. a commitment to extend what are called the mid

political situations their own unique histories so i'm not no when you're looking and talking about greece you say that there are kind of a few major historical things that have happened and that really have impacted greece politically can you kind of give us a real brief overview of what those are what i mean you know there's four of them used. to be. you know essentially civil war. you know all of that seven years ago. there is the show. about the years ago and the actually. and then there's what we what we call that change which is basically. the coming into power of the socialist the first time around in ninety one when i could be a problem. which you know these three events up until you know two or three years ago were the major milestones in. the model or the. really little history at least in people's living memory. and then of course add to that that you have now the bailout and member. but in the point is you know a lot of this stuff still influences the days and i remember i remember being boring where. in the student election account basically the student elections in tha

so there are unique issues and if you've got medication for the other problem, then you're balancingthat. so it's important for treatment programs to be flexible. and barbara and ed, i want to throw out the whole issue of- there is prejudice and discrimination related to, certainly, substance use disorder and mental illnesses. but when you add to that the whole disability component, how can families begin to deal with that? barbara, i'll start with you. the biggest need for people to see in-in people with disabilities is competence. because, you know, we-we have research that says that when people see competence in people with disabilities, they are more accepting of them. and i think that that's a problem, and that's something that families can really help foster. the side of what this person is able to do. their work, their job, their contribution to the family. so that people see and get- develop a sense of competence about the person, the individual. because that, indeed, it is that competence that's going to allow individuals to go out into the work life that-to be able to secur

is unique. most pg&e power, but in our situation, we are paying pg&e for power, but we're providing the electricity through our hetch hetchy system. we have a unique system. >supervisor wiener: in terms of what pg&e spends on maintenance, is that cover 100% by what the puc reimburses? >> i do not know the answer to that. perhaps pg&e does. supervisor wiener: since the puc is paying for the maintenance of streetlight pg&e that -- streetlights that pg&e owns, has the puc attempted to set maintenance standards? >> we have not attempted to set me and standards. it is our understanding that is the california public utility commission's responsibility. we have absolutely communicated and my streetlight staff communicates with the pg&e streetlights staff on a routine basis for the need for maintenance in the system and standard operational maintenance. supervisor wiener: there is a discrepancy in terms of the number of repaired and broken lights. it is not necessarily a significant difference in terms

this problem is not only unique to me. it is unique to other seniors, modeling will as well as other latino seniors. without their help, where would all the other seniors go? i realize that there are these problems outside of the city, and it is particular to san francisco. i am in shock of all of the issues i have heard today as well. i thank you for your attention, and i have great pride in being able to speak in front of you. [applause] >> thank you. the last two speakers, if you could please line up. [reading names] >> i will go first. mayor lee, this is the first time i have seen you in person. i am a volunteer in the mission district. we have been passing liars to inform people about possible new legislation later in the year for improvements in the community jobs program. participants in this community jobs program are people of color, in particular, single mothers, so we feel like there needs to be a genuine, new work training program for participants to be able to work in non-profit communities, such as in the mis

but it was not unique for the court to rule against a member of congress challenging a president. indeed, the list is so extensive that it's a different topic and a different time. but may i just briefly recite chenoweth verses clinton, goldwater verses carter, regal verses federal open market committee. in each one of these, a member of congress had challenge. kenneth said president clinton was going beyond the authority he had under the clean water and clean air act, and the amendments that would have given the power had been defeated, therefore, he couldn't exercise them. no says the congress, get somebody else withstanding. a congresswoman doesn't have standing. campbell verses clinton, i and 38 other members of the house of representatives said we did not vote to go to war, we did not vote to bomb kosovo. the president under the war powers act had to pull back. no said the d.c. circuit, we won't hear your case because you have the power to cut off money. you could have passed a bill to cut off appropriations. never mind that the president would have vetoed that bill. and henc

remember that we are all unique individuals. what is important to you may not be important to them and vice versa. listen to your spouse. listen to your friends. listen to your kids' friends. listen to your co-workers. listen, if i didn't have anyone to listen to me, no one would have ever heard my voice again. the theme that we settled on for this talk today is from anguish hope. certainly his dad bent the curve of the nfl in the seriousness of traumatic brain injury in that sport. he made a difference. there is hope because of his life and the things that he contributed to the sport and to his family. similarly, nha believes right now there is a unique opportunity in american history in our culture that isson extraordinarily hopeful opportunity. you can go into any community in this country right now in the most informal setting and use the term ptsd and americans know what you're talking about. that is an amazing transformation in the awareness and the sensitivity and the receptivitity of the american public to mental health

business environments unique legislative circumstances a unique regulatory framework that businesses have to navigate but that same time certainly from my visit to russia this time around i'm coming back with a very positive impression of what we can do as canadian businesses to engage with partners in russia even though there are example examples of successful it's had some front by foreign companies to to to put their hands in the russian old russian book oil riches you know what i. obviously there are significant differences in how we approach oil and gas exploration in our respective countries in canada virtually all of the oil and gas exploration and development is done by the private sector. the federal government takes very little role in doing that other than supporting businesses. in russia of. the context is somewhat different. government takes a very significant role not only controlling those resources but in developing them and exploring them so i suppose for the canadian companies the challenge is how do you navigate the unique circumstances of the russian oil and gas i

as i said at the start, one of the beautiful things to san francisco, it is unique neighborhoods and all the different cultures it represents. all of them along martins -- market street and along the tenderloin, many are here today. they're proud to be here. i am proud to be with them making this announcement. we want to make sure they are never lost in this budget. they have their rightful place in our cities. they are vital to our job creation. certainly, i enjoy, when i go out on the weekend, all of our corridors and making sure we pay attention to them. all the collaboration has to happen to make them successful. when visitors are through with all the golden gate bridge and taking pictures, the green background, and others, as well as fisherman's wharf, many of them are asking, what else is there? they are excited about our neighborhood corridors. i am excited every weekend when i get out after my round of golf. so these are the highlights of our invest in its neighborhoods, our job squad program. we want to make sure we announce that in the neighborhood where i think people are

avgas is unique. it is the remaining leaded fuel but it meets the unique requirements that exist in general aviation. and the faa completely understands the importance of having reasonable alternatives before any effort is made to phase out avgas. i'm committed to work to ensure that doesn't happen. >> when you say reasonable, economical is part of that equation? >> certainly. >> okay. good. because for us in alaska it's truly, it's the highway and the sky. it's critical we have the right ability. when we converted a much higher level of leaded gas to unleaded which was our vehicles, it took many, many, many years to do that. it wasn't overnight. i'm worried that epa has a different view of life here that they can flip the switch and make it all magic. i'm glad that you have made the statement you just said because i think you understand the faa component of this and the aviation component of this. thank you very much. will you keep us, at least our office informed, kind of if there are some milestone

needs and unique circumstances. news reports of unscrupulous organizations of treatment of unsuspecting veterans. and we strongly con testimony any abuses to which veterans might have been subjected at the hands of these institutions. while we ebelieve that there are no doubt costs and burdens involved in implementing this executive order, we cannot commit to any initiative that veterans are appropriately recruited, advised and supported while in school. navpa is pleased that the president is taking such a direct interest in the nides of the nation's veteran. we recognize that the requirement inhi
