gration has been used as sort of a substitute for a -- immigration has been used as a sort of substitute for things that people are upset about, and it becomes easier to kick the immigrant. we see that with the restrictionists and the hate movement. those are the kind of things we are fighting against. some of that sells politically. the challenge is, as cindy was saying, in other parts of the country, really getting people to see that being against immigration is being against america, and that we have to reframe the analysis that way so that people can't hide behind it and use that as their basis for bad votes and sort of running away from the issue. >> thank you. once department, thank you, panelists. >> i will make my comments. when i heard bat, for me it was good because it was like a recharging of the batteries. i needed that because i had been drinking the kool aid of the bad stuff out there and believing maybe there was no hope. but like most of you, i do believe there will be. i remember bart's story, that when we did go back to washington, the irish group. and we walked right b

us the best coverage. candlestick is identified as an alternate site. let me go back and explain how the site use agreement works bit of the agreement is designed to give us a great deal of flexibility and the ultimate selection of sites. we pick these sites based on coverage, but we know that things come up. the release might be too expensive. there may be technical considerations that we have identified at a site. there could be other problems with the site. so we have the flexibility in this agreement to substitute sites through about the next six months. so if the side that we have that covers the bayview and hunters point, i believe that is at 200 paul avenue. it that side door to fall through, we could use candlestick park as a backup. that site could be too expensive, and then we would look at the alternate. but based on coverage, the other side was a little bit better for us than candlestick. we tried to go for the best coverage, but we know we will probably have to do some shuffling. supervisor kim: the current constellation of sites, does that

so you had no idea whether on and were not really gave us an instruction as we were sending in waiting nobody told us to go out on the deck we did that on our own following our instincts and judging by what we saw and what we understood when we crawled out onto the deck and please know that we had been on board the slander for only two hours we had hardly any time to find our way in that city so it was mere lack we went out to the crew because that's important yes but the boats when i did the lower not the upper one it's a mere accident of all the people who happened to be another x. with a less lucky my sled all of us have seen the titanic movie was this is a time when the passengers try to elbow they way to the lifeboats we could see all of the passengers later we ended up in the same hotel and we could discuss things and exchange our impressions as to what happened after that some were rescued when it was already morning there was not enough room in the boats as our friends and travel say the situation was made worse by the fact that it was very difficult to pull the bows down on th

i see if we do this properly that we will be able to make this an advantage to us as we move forward. >> thank you for your time this morning. i want to talk about the balance between the in strength and national strategy. at a usa you led us through a thoughtful discussion about how the army was supposed to implement a two war strategy. you say you are comfortable dropping to 490. share with us what about the new strategy is different enough to give you that comfort level. >> the fundamental principle says we are going to do long term stability operations. that is what drove the increase, the fact that we were engaged in iraq and afghanistan for eight and ten years. the thought process is we will still do stability but at a much smaller scale that relied on other partners to assist us as we do stability operations. we know we have a lot of uncertainty out there. if, in fact, we end up having to do a large scale stability operation we will depend on our ability to reverse and expand which will be highly dependent on the reserve component initially in order to help us meet our initial

the turn that into what they used as a study mechanisms. i am proud to say that with the program i have used, and he was an academy for young scientists. to give you a quick demonstration of what that might sound like, it goes like this. parts of speech you are all easy, and just sing with me. parts of speech are all easy, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, prepositions. conjunctions. a noun is a person, place, fang, or idea. like barack obama is a person. academy is in place. a little puppy is a thing. then you have a pronoun replaces a noun. like i, you, he, she, it, you, hey, you all, they. hopefully -- [applause] thank you. today, as i leave, i will leave with beautiful ideas and action plans. i started them with the support of my wonderful mother. it is something that is essential to making a program flourished. you need to support. all of that combined, i hope i get the chance to meet each of you today. and be able to go back knowing that i am going to take back support. i can tell you what, as a result of this conference i was able to furth

the lack of detail and discuss the unique situation in this case where a building was used in the area for a long time as an entertainment venue and it has come perilously close to what the planning department might consider abandoning the use in that area where no new entertainment is permitted. the applicant can before you to obtain a conditional grant and at that time you felt somewhat confused and needed further clarification. they requested to come back before you again for the same purpose of receiving a conditional grant. at their request of the commission and i believe or somebody smart went to the city attorney's office and asked them for guidance on how to handle the situation such as this, given the fact that most of the time, you are looking at very specific business plans and security plans and are able to give a conditional grant based on specific information. you still do not have that kind of information. that is because this is a project that is in development. the guidance was based on 1060 points -- 106 no0, you have the ability to grant a conditional permit with wide latitude in terms

use. the applicant makes a credible argument that since they have no existing cap on the number of events that they could continue as such. they are a venue that allows these uses and it could continue. that said, we feel it is appropriate to have some limits here. i feel that number of events is at the discretion of this commission and we want to provide some guidance to the commission. we evaluated the historical use data given to us and we can go into greater detail about the methodology used, but he worked diligently to verify the information. we came to the average number of events, and that was 54 average entertainment events. there are other events that are not entertainment events. we had to parse through the affirmation to determine which were entertainment and which were not. we used the definitions available at the various units will code to arrive at those conclusions. we came to an average number of 54 and we felt given the was a fluctuation -- year to year, this changes -- so we felt it was appropriate to acknowledge that. so we did the + 25%. that gives up to 68. this is still fewer entertainment even

i know that at one time there was an old church on market that people had envisioned as being used as a report -- resource, being part of that conversation. at this time again, there might be other ways of mitigating these issues. some laws of our -- are already in place. as we start to move towards these types of regulations, in areas like parklets and plazas, it needs to be a broader conversation where we might be able to put cyanate and other things that might mitigate the issues that people are experiencing. i think that for me, it raised the question of the plight of homeless queer youth in the castro. at least, that is what resonated with me most when i met with members of the public. that being said, i am not ready to support this at this time, but i am open to reviewing the registration around the parts and a possible center for the homeless queer youth in the castro. a place considered a haven and a mecca in our community. supervisor chiu: thank you, supervisor. supervisor kim: i am generally philosophically challenged to the restrictions replace on public spaces in san franc

they had a permanent class of poor that they could use as essentially a threat to the middle class. if you ask for too much, if you ask for higher wages if, you're expecting health benefits if, you want a day off, you could very quickly be over there with those people. so they knew how the use this group to manipulate this group. the huge catastrophic tactical mistake that they have made because of their incredible greed, and they came up with it essentially with the housing thing. after they had soaked the poor and used the poor, they thought, jeez, we're just not making enough money. what can we get off the middle class? wait a minute, they all own homes. let's do the mortgage thing that they went after that and after their homes. they moved their jobs overseas. they took their health care away. they made it so that their children would be the first generation in the history of this country who would be worse off than their parents' generation. the final thing i want to say to this is that what i don't understand is that wall street and the banks, they have so overplayed their han

us the best coverage. candlestick is identified as an alternate site. let me go back and explain how the site use

, i don't want any gray areas to prevent us from doing an excellent job as we go on the world stage with this event. thank you very much for that. i want to single out the -- also the leadership that d.e.m. is doing when it comes to a bay web. that's been in the papers. it's before our board of supervisors and thank you for holding those hearings, members of the board, that we are pushing forward this bay web because we do have very, very clear needs to have better communication, better spread of data. the chief mentioned that during the playoff games at candlestick, as well, some examples where things could have worked better if we had a bay web approach to our other agencies to promote higher levels of data exchange. we need to get there and i want to signal to the board that our staff, working with d.e.m., will make sure we answer every question about the financing aspects to it that might be of concern and make sure we get through that quickly so we can get on to building a system in collaboration with all the other agencies that are involved in the bay are

also, i agree with commissioner miguel that it is unfortunate that this did not come back to us as a mixed use project. it would have been nice to have that conversation about work force housing or something that we might have seen there. but under the circumstances, i regret having to support the motion on some level because i do have issues with cvs

no bob iger are no disney no ca no management fee just artist public and beaucoup bucks so he used this as an argument that it was just being used by people who were illegally copying material from the television he said the loser will be your public because they don't have these expensive machines and that is what i am saying sir the public is the loser when creative property is taken and here is the reason why the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars each year to produce quality programs to theaters and televisions will surely decline exact same words they're using today and what happened these expensive machines v.c.r. players used to cost a thousand fifteen hundred dollars they came down to fifty bucks today yeah yeah they can't get more it's called capitalism right and this is the one thing that hollywood doesn't want to participate in they want to have like the big banks on wall street huge government subsidies for an industry that is completely superfluous you could go a limb in a hollywood eliminate too big to fail banks and the us economy would be the beneficiary of this

the secondary power outage occurred as a result of bringing the power back up and using secondary circuits. that is still under investigation, as to what caused the second outage. obviously, the city was embarrassed. we apologize to the 49ers for this happening. the primary thing that we did, though, that we did well, we declared public safety the most important thing. and i need to thank all of that and that were at candlestick last night. they were very good at keeping themselves calm. police and fire at candlestick was excellent. we got information out to everyone in the stands through the various radiofrequency is made available to the security, including officers, rec and park staff. in a matter of seconds, those that did not understand what was going on, who may have initially thought it was a surprise is that that was going to occur, they were informed to remain calm. no evacuations were called, but we immediately went into planning mode, in case that was necessary. everything was safe, and that was the number one concern. having said that, obviously, we all experienced a national e

she has a high profile as successful actress not somebody behind the scenes that you've only heard of in terms of being a director. so perhaps she can break through that and use her celebrity as a successful actress to make sure that she doesn't get pigeon holed for somebody who doesn't have that celebrity might be difficult. >> this is such a challenging realm of things. there are so many multiple layers of conflict presented in this film that make it stand out on its own. for us to examine the way in which rape and sexual violence is used in war. but we had that in rwanda and sudan and the congo. and in bosnia. >> just about every war, right? >> so that on its own is really important. examining the next step about where women directors go and what the glass ceiling is for so many women in hollywood, i think is a bigger question. >> let me turn the question around a little bit and ask catherine bigelow "the hurt locker" nothing to do with women's issues except perhaps maybe how that marine treated his wife in to completely ignored her when did he go home. then took off for the middle east again because he was so used to the drama of war, needed the energy. w

many use as possible. dust to get as many -- to get as many youth back as possible. i want to thank you. >> thank you. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak on this item? >> good afternoon. i have been a lifetime member of the boys and girls club. this thinking about the boys and girls club in my community would be huge. this would speak volumes. i used to catch a bus to the club on a regular basis. that is not viable anymore. parents are not letting their kids catch the bus anymore. i used to catch the bus that six and seven years old. now, it is not like that. we are able to help those who are otherwise unable to get there now. i have seen the work we have done at hunters point and the new mission club. ii am ecstatic that we're moving it club down to the western addition so we can serve more kids. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. >> good afternoon. i am the club house director for the tenderloin club. i want to talk a little bit about the wider impact that this is going to hav

from the start for us it was the beginning of our crew was as i understand them lying there makes around trips so different passengers start from different places. so he travels in circles like some movies in a cinema. exactly and you were supposed to get off into it of a kid a week later something like battle is going to. have a little person just we're doing with a hit the reef what were you up to. there were two dinner we dined in the first rotation and then i went down to our cabin to call my mom to tell her we were doing fine. so your cabin was below sea level is not really a was the dining room located high above there were several restaurants and bars on the ship so different people ate at various places. our cabin was on the third back . on the third right and our dinner was one floor above on the fifth deck yes. so dennis those designing were even in the better situation than yours they were and it was easier for them to get out. it's really hard to. you know is those who were in their cabins probably didn't get injured as badly as those in restrooms and bars. are you saying tha

the impact on those spaces that we all use as artists, many of us daily. elf, i need a car because i personally load in and out every day a full load of circuits equipment. i teach at five elementary schools. you probably know that as our providers, we are now paid a big salary. so, i have to use my car daily. if i have to pay half of the day for me during, it feels to me like a regressive tax. it is where i live and work. i want to say that we need more time to consider the matter, please. thank you. >> caroline? >> i am also here to talk about the proposed parking plan. we received little to no outreach. most of us found out a few days before christmas through posters and fliers put out by a community organization. we did not get anything until the first week of january. there were two different maps posted above the neighborhood in the plan. so far i am in san francisco and i own two different retail clothing stores. i've worked solely out of developing environments on alabama street. i deliver stuff to different neighborhoods. probably about three trips

it is imperative that we preserve these uses. as ynow, as difficult as it is in this town, if we lose a big venue, it will never be replaced. it is impossible. that is what we're trying to do here. we have a project sponsor who has the money to do it. he has the will and it is a great project. >> i am going to point out that they have voiced several times they're having problems finding venues of the size and there the second largest tourist destination event in our city. for them not to have parties afterwards or bring tourists in from around the world is something that is troublesome for the city. >> another question. i did not see any parking in this plan. if you are attracting patrons with that large a square footage, where will they be parking? >> there is parking but it is the residential units. >> we discussed the parking options. there are a few buildings nearby that provide late-night parking. we can approach them and see about doing a ballet service -- valet service. there is anothe rr lot on sixth street. we had proposed

as part of the record here. he claims his client is seeking a conditional use to operate at masonic as it historically has as no enlargement. the review of the application reveals that is not correct. there is no evidence -- even for sold out, maximum capacity shows. all records suggest a maximum of two bars. no evidence was offered at five bars was a historical average at the masonic and he admitted under cross-examination he did not know the exact number of bars that any show. there is no basis to authorize any more than two bars. there's never been a permanent liquor license for the masonic presence. to issue a conditional use for liquor license and there never had been one of would be an intensification of use. the masonic has only had one day daily licenses, when they catering permits or temporary permits. in the letter, certain temporary permits are referenced since 2010. those are temporary in nature and not a type 47, as he indicates. its five permanent license, nor does it create a right to a permanent license. these were issued only after the city issued a conditional use permit in march of 2010 and w

certainly of course ases to the incredible impact of advancing the issues much import to all of us, joiningenn. and we continue to see great challenges, nationally and internationally and president obama and his quarterback effort to continue to retain as best he can as republicans allow him to, our continued enthusiasm for his ongoing leadership. but in san francisco, reference has been made to this earlier, why we do celebrate many of the advancements of people who rise to positions of power and stature is certainly well noticed, i think we also have to use this opportunity, black history month, to retrench on a couple of key points. one is we have to be very clear about the fact that if he -- if we really want to speak to the question, i think, of black edoseous from a cosmopolitan city like san francisco, then we also must speak to the questions of what are we going to do about the hi recidivism rate in california so that there is meaningful rell entry and reintegration back into our communities? what are we going to did to he will everybody ain't the standards of our public schools so
