false start, for lack of a better phrase, on the first rfp process, pre-june and us being able to corral a fair amount of interest and that process be expedited in a way that we had hoped, only for us to stave off any kind of external threat because of proposition 16, giving us the ability to retrench and redeclare our intentions of moving toward a thorough rfp process, to see what kind of interest we could garner from interested bidders and from implementing a cca. part of the process is more than setting up trial balloons and hoping that there will be an audience, a business audience, out there potentially attracted to doing business with san francisco. it is about the level of desire they are detecting from the city in getting this done. that level of desire is first will come, or not, by the san francisco public utility commission, and it is that community itself, when they see communications from sfpuc, is able to determine how serious our city is in wanting to pursue an rfp. i am hoping we are still on that page. in the past, i think we may have addressed this, so these concerns are of yesteryear, and i hop

this has been laid out for us interest -- in drips and drabs, but so far it does not appear to be quite strong enough. there are perhaps too many loopholes to make this a real protection for the openness that americans deserve online. >> what is the difference between the wireless and wired? >> the wireless protections proposed not quite as strong. there is an nondiscrimination requirement, so wireless providers could potentially pick and choose and say that they like bing better than google. therefore, if you get bing on your wireless device, it will be faster, and potentially cheaper. they could block an application with which they do not compete. things do not fit into any bucket in which those carriers are already providing service. congress can provide oversight hearings, but we would say that rattling the saber and saying the fcc cannot do

when we do that, we, i think in interesting sorts of ways, further handicap how we talk about the fact that god created usn interesting sorts of ways as sexual beings. >> i know you're about to explode in a minute. if we keep talking about -- let me ask, is that a legitimate perspective to have? >> i think it's titillating. you can't expect the church to have the same ethics or the same approach to these very important moral questions as someone who is in a secular institution. the presupposition is that the church -- if the church would just accept the morals of the society -- no, i'm -- >> everything would be fine. >> what the professor, what i hear him saying is if the only time we talk about sex in any way, ethics, morality, practice, is in response to aberration, deviant behavior, if that's what drives the conversation, then the outcomes are going to be -- >> if we didn't treat this as a tmz story, if it wasn't boys, if it was girls, women, which is happening all the time. >> we wouldn't be having the conversation. >> we wouldn't be having this conversation. part of what i'm trying to suggest here is

and so much direct engagement that i've tried to use that as way to get them interested and although less exciting, kind of les us, you know, obviously interesting things that may be a little more boring like tax policy. so that gave me a lot of hope, and there's a lot of terrific people, leaders out there who are responsible for the tremendous increase of young people come interest of young people have in environmental issues. so i mean, don't you think that's possible, that's an avenue that we can use and try to broaden people political interest. even their interest in things like who they vote for for a local judge. it's mind numbingly boring when you're standing up for election day, but things that interest the environment, something that went to grab onto as an aperture, to the people through, thinking more about political issues to what you think about that? >> i think copyright laws would be more interesting, but i'm a computer science major so it's more relevant in my immediate career options. whether or not exporting code to a potential country is illegal or not will be somet

the executive used some interesting language, saying that we are going after a prize.which is what makes it so right. it is very clear that even if they were to come to their senses and say -- this is a bad project, they feel that they have to go after a prize of federal funds. clearly that tells you that if they use the word prize or federal funds, you have to look at that and say, as soon as they use that it is a justification that they know the project is not a good idea. that they are completely wasting federal money. leslie, if this goes over budget by even 10%, the easy calculation is $160 million. none of us are driving on the new bay bridge. triple the cost? it has been one quarter of a century since the planned this. supervisor campos: next speaker, please. >> good morning, commissioners. i am here to represent the community tenants' association. i think that if all goes to show that over 20 years of community support for this project, in 2005 we collected 2000 signatures. it connects neighborhoods like the valley, bayview, chinatown to the rest of san francis

we have literally hundreds of people that are interested in helping us, and i am extremely confident that this will turn out to be one of the most exciting ventures for the day that we will be able to deliver the goods on our end. i will stick around to answer questions as you may ask. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you very much for your leadership in helping us steer the interests of the private sector and elected family beyond san francisco and their interest in this. with regard to the $32 million, which i absolutely agree with and i think others do as well, that we want to secure as much as we can the question of us not being held liable on the $32 million, an amendment that says potentially may terminate the agreement if $32 million is not raised. that might not even be strong enough for us. >> right. i understand there is language, and the america's cup has that obligation as the america's cup team. i do not have any objection to the language. i think that is the projection. when i raise this issue, i do not want to dwell on it, but the reality is once we go down this line and th

used to be. everyone will take it forever. market even with the self-interestre china is not hanging on to the dollar and not bringing us down. there will be a day that somebody will precipitate that they will buy the dollars less or dump the dollars and market will win out. we can't have a system that would print money forever. if that were true none of us would work. we'd just say send me money, ben bernanke would send us a check every month and we'd be so wealthy and we'd buy stuff from china and be wealthy forever. that's extreme and what we're moving toward. eventually it will be rejected. >> congressman paul, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> the tax cut package and more earmarks. mixed messages for business, investors and taxpayers. bring in panel list. tom woods author of "nullification, how to resist federal tyranny in the 21 z century." i love that book. steve moore, economic writer for "wall street journal." and the fox business network senior correspondent, my buddy and author of "bought and paid for," charlie gasparino. charlie, to you fir

wednesday, wee get it within a reasonable time to review it properly depending on what each of us is interested in. >> as soon as it is scanned into the system, i will send it out. >> i might suggest that, unless there's reason to do this sooner, i might suggest we simply wait until the first january meeting, if it is only a week. >> i agree. >> so this will be continued to january. 13th of october. >> there are a couple of of commissioners that would like to speak if we could hold off for a moment. commission you are sugaya. >> no. >> antonini? >> i think my question was answered, we'll have the transcript in hard copy and the present minutes and any revisions that may be proposed. i'm not proposing any modifications to the minutes. those are -- athat's what happened. okay thanks. >> on the motion for continuance to january 13th, commissioner antonini. >> aye. >> moore aye sugaya aye miguel aye. thank you commissioners those minutes are continued until january 13th. any other commission matters? >> i would like to introduce to everyone our newest commissioner, the ports' loss our gain, rod the

us special interest and access request meant. to. me. as it should and those people with the previous life. want to soak in a free flight. you could easily spend. but i needed to get back to the. us and that meant. amazingly even up here in the mountains in the coaxes it can still get pretty good phone reception of course that doesn't help if like me you've forgotten the thing but even stuck out here in the middle of nowhere that might not be such a big problem. at least if you know when to find an enterprising local engineer to use you know i was definitely. a plug in the middle of the outfits. we had like. using metal salvaged from an old mine on a little help from mother nature action has built his own hydroelectric power station and supplies him in a few lucky neighbors with free electricity and he can crank up the voltage when he likes the sluice gates. can regulate how much water comes out anyone thought. the water flows down the channel and through a two and a half ton turbine which turns an axle and supplies power to the generato

us about. be sure to be interested in what you are telling us. if you are not interested, chances are that we will not be interested. there was a requirement of using c-span video. i want for people to have looked at the content and talk about what elements of c-span make the most sense for telling this story. >> for all of these rules and how to of blow your video, u -- plow -- upload your video, go to c-span.org. . . .

but it is very interesting to some of us who have been in negotiations, how you start by saying my goal is to defeat you but here is the packages we want you to accept. some of us are having a hard time with that kind of negotiation. thank you, mr. president. mr. dorgan: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator in north dakota. mr. dorgan: mr. president, what are the order? the presiding officer: the senator is recognized to speak for ten minutes. mr. dorgan: mr. president, i think i had requested 20 minutes. the presiding officer: i'm sorry. it's 20 minutes. i'm sorry, senator. mr. dorgan: mr. president, thank you. i was surprised to hear the minority leader suggest that today's session of the senate, a saturday session, which i suppose is inconvenient but nonetheless something we ought to do to work on things that are important for the american people -- i was surprised to hear him say it was a waste of the tax's money. i'll talk a little bit about what i think is a waste 69 taxpayers' money. but coming here, trying to reduce the federal budget deficit, trying to make importa

it was evidence to us that including women in military history had a long way to go. our interest in world war ii histories when evelyn and i were kids. evelyn and grew up and new jersey and more stories for world war ii on a weekly basis she went to the degette to be with her father and listened to the male veterans talk about their military experience in world war ii that they share with each other. my experience was different. i have two female cousins and and and that served in world war ii in the army nurse corps, because and was in iraq and the other was in the marine corps. i cannot remember anyone who discussing their service a and any of our family gatherings. i knew little about what my own of relatives had done in the war back then most veterans organizations did not accept women as full members of their organizations and women who wanted to join were told they needed to join the leedy is a summary as primarily made up of veterans and what they would hold separate meetings apart from. it took me a long time and a lot of research at military women has served in every the

us about. be sure to be interested in what you are telling us. if you're not interested in what you're telling, we probably won't be either. one tie-breaker for me last year was the requirement on using cspan video. i am looking for videos where people have looked at the cspan content and used the elements that made the most sense for the story you will tell them up for for all information and how to off load your video, go to studentcam.org. >> former president bill clinton spoke with reporters at the white house today in defense of the tax cut agreement between president obama and congressional republicans. he urged the senate to ratify the start missile treaty. this unannounced appearance happened shortly after a private meeting in the oval office. this is about 35 minutes. >> the agreement we have struck to provide billions of dollars in payroll tax cuts -- cuts back and immediately rejuvenate the economy as well as tax cuts for middle-class families, unemployment insurance for folks who desperately need it, credits for college, credits for jo

it has been an interesting and productive effort would staff to get us where we are. anybody who has been listening to my comments knows that i started up by saying that if i got free rein, what i would do is with the isg's, make that equal supply insurance, so why was my preference, i cannot do that. i would prefer to do that, frankly, because it keeps our long-term objectives consistent with our short term objectives. things would be solved within the isa's, if you could do it that way. i presented it as a dilemma. it created a situation where somebody could use more than their supply guarantee. more than the interim supply assurance. it is a surplus back to the people who have that. this is a for every issue. -- a forever issue. if eat

through a pipeline, the pipeline is heavily protected by chinese oil interest. it used to be a u.s. company which has divested because of so much political power. i had the very curious conversation with some of the former farmers, sudanese farmers solved off of their land by oil interest; right? they are now essentially fisherman, they fish in puddles. i had a group of men say to me, why can't you bring back chevron. we much perform chevron and western oil interest to chinese ones. at least they try to get to know us. that is to say in what looks like economic policies, we need to say out of particular areas is frequently on the ground much more complicated than it looks at a distance. >> host: good morning, you are on with eliza griswold. >> caller: hi, i wanted to thank the lady between the statement and the christians and muslims, is really between their own kind, muslims against muslims and christians against christians. that's a profound insight that's not recognized. i'd also like to ask her if she knows of any third party that's interested in conflicts between christians and

so on no no what president obama has done in this area in response to the major major us national security interest and i think it's good that the other party i mean the republican spar they have understood and have understood it and have supported him through rectification of this treaty that means that the u.s. political class or the political establishment now under god can still the understanding of some joint interest which united to both parties and a thing that may facilitate be interaction between the u.s. and other nations and we're going to show all right thank you very much for joining us victor i mean you deputy director of the institute for usa and canada studies. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe south korea has started its largest winter war games ever exercise involves jets tanks and artillery all using live ammunition only thirty kilometers from the north korea border the south's navy is also involved in unrelated maneuvers off the western coast of the peninsula this comes a month after north korea shelled an island in response to a similar exe

africa's future is a strategic interest for all of us.the presidential policy directive on global development and the new state department quadrennial development and review are indeed groundbreaking on this point and rightly. if you look at security or resources, food, water you name it, and any of these subjects give us an interest in how africa develops. now, my charity, agi focuses on one thing. building effective systems of capacity to govern. and a few preliminary points perhaps to clear away any misinterpretations that are necessary. i'm not arguing the capacity is more important than democracy. it isn't. indeed, as i shall argue the two are linked. i'm not arguing either that aid doesn't matter. it does when i was british prime minister i traveled to africa as nancy made debt cancellation and aid the centerpiece of g8 summit. aid does work. it has brought real and profound benefits to poor people and increasingly so in recent years. the debt aid thesis makes some valid points but it shouldn't define how we view development. howeve

us about. be sure to be interested in what you're telling us. if you're not interested in what you're presenting, chances are we probably won't be either. >> one tiebreaker for me a lot last year was that requirement on using c-span video. i'm looking for videos where people have looked at the c-span content and said what elements of c-span video make the most sense for telling the compelling story i'm trying to tell. >> for all the rules including deadline, prize information, and how to upload your video, go to studentcam.org. >> a month ago the federal government sold off part of its stake in automaker general motors. the ceo of gm came to the washington economic club to talk about how his company is faring. this is an hour. >> i had a thought when david was speaking and i want you to remember this when i meet my ultimate reward, invite david to the funeral. [laughter] >> this is really a pleasure and an honor to be here today. it's hard to be unemotional today. there's so many of my friends here and i have deep ties into this community having

useful is a different item? we are more than happy to do an analysis of the data collected. it does have interest to us. there can be a correlation made with substantial statistical liability, probably, the would allow us to compare scores and see if there is an aftereffect. that would be in our best interest. commissioner wynns: ok. we will explore that. thank you. president kim: thank you. roll call, please. [roll is called] commissioner norton: reluctantly, yes. president kim: our next item is item q, superintendents proposals for first reading. we have won tonight, authorization to grant or to deny the international school's petition for a new charter school. i made a motion and i need a second. commissioner yee: second. president kim: this will be referred to curriculum committee and budget committee. the next is board members' proposals, item r, for first reading. it is in support of denouncing the deportation of shing ma "steve" li, a dream at student at city college of san francisco. we need a movement to suspend rules. [roll call vote] >> five ayes. president kim: may we have a motion and secon

and that brings us to another interesting question that we can raise with you and we're joined on the live line and he's actually been listening to us and he may choose to comment on what you've said thus far david brickner who is the executive director of jews for jesus which is celebrating, i believe, it's 30th year, is that right, gaifd brickner? >> it's good to be with you, john. on the cornerstone of our headquarters it says jews for jesus established 32 a.d. give or take a year but the organization you're right, it's celebrated its 30th year this past year. >> there are two ways of looking at the gospel texts. and one of the ways, they're not in conflict but one is the emphasis on the atonement, the redemption, incartion, the son of god becoming man and the price that was paid to redeem mankind is what you saw on the screen. there is the political, there is the moral, other interpretations of events. do jews for jesus accept the divinity of jesus christ? >> well, we would stand with the answer that one of the first jews for jesus gave when jesus asked the question "who do men sa

we'll be watching because i'm sure whatever she does is going to be interesting for all of us. ll, lisa, you have been looking at some interesting people and the new redistricting commission. first of all, i think a lot of people don't even know who they are and what they do. so why don't you start out by telling us a little about the commission? >> well, the california independent redistricting commission, and surprisingly enough, a lot of voters do know what the redistricting commission is because they voted on it so many darn times in the last few years and to create it and to expand it with proposition 20 to include congress. and what it is is it's going to be eventually a group of 14 individuals who will draw 120 legislative districts and four board of equalization districts, 53 congressional districts. they must do it by august 15th of next year. based on april 1st census data that will come out, you know, after the first of the year. >> now, some of those commissioners are already there, but there's a little bit of controversy over whether the ones who are there are repre

well and yeah it went down but it's all over you tube it's possible all of the internet's made interesting use everywhere now you of course are our entertainment expert but you're also a professional singer i didn't even know that give us a note let's see how much of an actor i am blueberry hero wow that's about what you got as the professional singer how was it is he a good singer. well and putin famously said he doesn't love that he called saying he can't dance but just like everybody else he loves doing it and sounded ok i mean it was in shoes and it was i like blue betty. but now it's very sad and also he was he had gestures as well and i think anybody who can or can't sing you know to do it in a room full of up so that you got famous people like so many people and also it's great for his reputation we got the story about the dog recently and the puppy he's it's not the first of the song i got. last year he went to the ministry of defense school for girls i saw his patriotic song with the lovely he tells russian girl and the more he's just things like this the more that you know people can

us. one of the interesting facets with this potential change of temperature gradient, the warmer - more warming inland than warming over the coastal ocean is actually the sea breeze circulation, which is - is tied up with the marine layer development and probably the thing or thk big size. there maybe more because of that increase in circulation but i would say this is an area that a waits more of this regional model development that, brad eluded to, that is still kind of on the fringe of our science right now. that's my answer to that one. i think that you can count on still having a marine layer, but i don't know if it will be stronger than it is today. >> yes, doctor and dan, you both mentioned we have models now but that's not a problem, we have the regional models now. it seems one of the key areas to implement is in the california environmental quality act. the planning and conservation league is hosting series of workshops across the state helping planners and community leaders integrate climate change in all the work they do, so i'd like to get your thoughts on that and specifically fro

he wasn't interesting. he wrote us a gracious note when he heard we were making the movie basically giving us best wishes but he wasn't interested in being involved. >> much like cormac, actually. >> i remember talking to cormac about it and he said it's just different thing. he said the book is the book. it's in hard feelings or anything. >> when you said yes to this... people always say why do you take this role. what was it for you? was it to work with these guys? this was a company of actors and directors that can't be a bad experience? >> yeah, i think the phone calls with joel and ethan are considering you for a role and i said yes and didn't know what it was and they said "it's true grit" and i said "that sounds familiar." i'd never seen the movie so or read the book. then i heard it was jeff and josh and i read the book. it kept getting better and better. it was really a dream job and because the adaptation was so good where they do story boards that they give you before you shoot the film so you can actually h

if this process is set up, people can use this information and do interesting things with the information with our non- profit partners. we are really excited about it. most of our partners are outside san francisco, but i know this could become a national model. we can push other cities to adopt it. supervisor mar: what is your organization? >> we are web application developers. sort of like the neighborhood improvement association, after- school tutoring programs, so they already require this information, but right now, it takes a long time to get it, and there is a lot of things they would want to be able to do that they do not have access to. if they get some of this information, it will help them deliver services but also advocate for certain -- supervisor mar: so i'm seeing that it is useful not just application developers but researchers and journalists and the public as well. i was in a meeting with health care advocates and organizers, but i could see that it would be useful. >> we are working on a mobile app right now. if we could get some of the other large cities, we really ge

us the same result. with this newly announced easing, interest rates have gone up. they have not gone down. you are limited as to what the fed can do. they are supposed to be in charge of unemployment. they give us an unemployment rate according to the treasury. according to free-market economists it is over 22%. there -- their methods are failing. >> we will have sharper ups and sharper down without a central bank. what would a world and an economy run by congressman ron paul look like? how would that play out in terms of being able to access credit in an economy we have now? >> we would have a reasonably stable prices. you want freemarket pricing. if you had a stable dollar, that is what you want, a stable currency, one that cannot be manipulated. interest rates should be determined by the marketplace. under these conditions, it is virtually impossible to have boom and bust cycles. you would have some prices going up. whether might have an influence on commodities. you do not have a whole economic. we had a housing bubble. that did not just that housing, it affected banking and stocks. you
