. >> it's not just about us looking for men.t's about us looking for the quality of person that we want to date, whether we choose to make you a friend, or a partner. >>> welcome back, everyone. in the age of technology and busy schedules, online dating is not so taboo anymore. should you be more comfortable looking for your next date online? assembled a great panel to discuss this subject. host of the radio program "the love zone." ron worthy, vice president of production and business services for people media which runs black people meet dotcom. the largest black meeting site for black singles and dina phillips, formerly an online dater. we'll get to the that. folks, welcome. greatly appreciate it. let me pick on you first. they told me it's former. you don't do it any longer. is that because you found the love of your life online or it just was not for you? >> i think -- i didn't find the love of my life. the person i met was not online but i think it just changed my purpose, you know, the things that i wanted to do kind of c

, to help insure if your will was to keep it in the single digits, keep it lower, you could ask us to look at these options. these options are levers that we control, some that we do not. just to put that in perspective, in order to go from maintain -- and% increase down to a 9% increase, you could temporarily shave off the cash-funded program by $4 million. if you look by 2017, just going from a cash-funded program from $43 million a year down to $39 million. the other way that you could go is you could ask us with operating budgets as well to say, hold the budget flat. we have held the operating budget last because of our extreme success, water conservation efforts and lower usage. that would be another alternative. all the models, we have always assumed, grow at that inflation rate. so we are not going to do than one year and take a holiday on the increase. the other things we do not control would be the marketplace. while we have been successful in our borrowing as of late, that is a record in our generation's time. the market, when we issue debt, maybe it decides that we are good agai

at some of the headlines of how other news organ -- host: let us take a look at some of the headlines about how other news organizations are covering it. they say the documents disclose for the first time taliban insurgents reporting to use the heat seeking surface-to-air missiles. "the philadelphia inquirer has a headline, the grim view of the afghan war. let us go to david, independent college in an illinois. caller: it is going to be a hassle. there are good and bad issues about the afghan war. i also a coordinator from illinois for the tea party, i wanted to be feud that something about gas or toxic. i think we have all joined together and we are just trying to take that country for freedom for everyone and everybody. thank you for c-span. host: let us look at some of the other headlines. from "the financial times," looking at the situation for the company bp. bp poised to announce the departure of tony hayward, the chief executive, according to people close to the u.k. oil company. so, potentially going to an american leader of that company. we have a pic

here you did something which made us look bad. so as a consequence of your bad behavior, maybe more boys had to die. maybe we had to work even harder. but i think it was because of the extreme circumstance of the time and the stakes were incredibly high that you did have a community that looked at these men as if they had, in fact, turned against their own community and had worked against those who had served and died. and that was the case. i know it's still a problem now. i have a friend who is a no no boy and he talks about how, even now, 60-something years later, there are people in the community who won't talk to him because he was a no no boy. but, again, it's through the lens of present day politics, how we've begun to look at the events and studied them that the resistors from heart mountain who were another group who on constitutional grounds contested being -- serving. they refused to serve, as opposed to the no no boys, who signed no no. the resistors actually went to federal prisons. they went to leavenworth. they are

for example, if you all said 10% seems unreasonable, that would make us look at how we bring something back to you later on. >> are we going to have that discussion later on today or now? >> you may have it whenever you would like to. this is certainly not your only chance to have a discussion. we can certainly talk about the capital program and what is affordable, but i am happy to answer anything now. >> i am less concerned with the actual percentage than i am that actual decisions -- whether the story be straightforward. whether we have ta clear explanation. what i fear it is a series of rate increases that have an erosive effect on people's confidence. after a few years, it becomes harder to explain that. i like what we did with the water and sewer rates a couple of years ago that said, here are the jobs that need to get done, i this is the cost. it was a clear set of projects. and the implementation of that stretch out over several years, but the story is straight forward. so i would be looking for that kind of structure. the decisions we ask, make ourselves, ask the ratepayers to

the treatment plant on the island would look to use a natural system. we will look at the different alternatives available and comparisons in the long term. >> what we have discussed here before is the collection system being primarily replaced by the developer, who will be responsible for the new treatment plant. >> will that be a dual system? >> the discussion has been that we would be looking [unintelligible] >> i can see, shaking his head. >> currently is a separated system. we have no intention to go into a combined system. it is very costly. with the mayor's office involved as a developer, that is not the intent. >> the climate change activities for treasure island is designed around the reuse of storm water and things on the island so it is a different view of the world. >> we are hoping to have a recycled water source from that plan on the island. the other benefits of the treatment plant upgrades, there will be a seismic upgrade to the system. we will also reduce adverse impacts that our treatment plants cause to neighbors. for instance, odors t

us to be having. frankly when you are looking at -- this is one example that has led us down this particular path. when you look at examples like children's village where you have 120 families from all different types of economic settings in san francisco, it is a melting pot of sorts. it is what the catholic church is about, bringing all different types of people together to help them, you know, raise their children and their families in a healthy and safe environment. >> and that's why we feel so strongly about the child care centers that we do have, that we want to keep them active because it really does do a service to the community and especially to our families. the thousands of families that we have in our parishes that we want to keep here in san francisco. >> thank you. chair maxwell: next speaker, please. >> thank you for talking with me today. my name is lisa finamore. i am a parent. i put my first child through children's village. she is now 7 years old. when i was pregnant with her my biggest worry was where will i put her when i have to work, because i do are to -- have to work. lucki

when i look at the plan and when any of us looked at the plan, i think that it's important we see that there's no delineation of what is the percentage of the home owned unit -- units? we don't know that. it's important we have a more precise understanding. i think there should be commitments maiden forcable so that when the decisions are made, if there's any material changes to the plan itself, it comes back to the board of supervisors. nobody is saying the plan shouldn't go forward. what we're saying is after the expeen

we have a group of parents come to us that look at some school district faces and we try to figure out ways of helping to partially fund and support development of that phase, so i think this resolution will go far in terms of helping us to look at and thoughtfully plan for needs for child-care in the community, for early care and education programs. at the same time, while we're doing that simultaneously, planning for the long term so we will be able to meet the often increasing demands that we face all the time in terms of quality child care centers. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i have been a resident of sand and cisco, luckily, for 21 years. i'm also a member of the nonprofit that the parents' group children's village organized to try to save the program there. originally in hopes of actually purchasing the property. obviously, i'm here in support of the ordinance, and i think it is really important that this passes so existing child-care facilities would have some protection from child care developers that seem to have no conscience around these items. when our group first heard

let us not look to solve the deficit problem with social security. everyone of us has paid into that fund. everyone of us deserves to have a retirement. he is mixing apples and oranges. host: the members of congress pay into social security? caller: of course. host: have the always? guest: since 1994. host: what happened? guest: there was a change in the system. i was there -- he made the decision you go into social security and after that everyone had to. i always hear that members of congress don't pay in. yes, they did. host: next call to former congressman barbara kennelly, now for the organization to preserve social security and medicare. dave on the republican line. caller: how are you? dimensions that we have the money -- you mention that we have the money ready for three decades away, i believe, but the thing that is in the trust fund and lock box our government bonds. this and the money. it is not there. that is not an asset. you cannot write a check to yourself and call it an asset. the money is spent. here you have the money -- it is going

what we get to do a lot here, and there are certainly big issues today, but this is something all of us look forward to. we are very exciting to have you do tonight's game and hopefully for the next 20 years and beyond, so i would like to call of my colleague, supervisor elsbernd, who is wearing a great tie today. supervisor elsbernd: i was reluctant to sign on to this resolution, particularly with you and another, because there is something here that said, "to sean, a future giant." they got the autograph, and they have been waiting and waiting, and i am still waiting. it is great to have you here. for so many giants fans. i hope you are around for another two decades. think you for all you do for the city and for all of our giants fans -- thank you. [applause] >> we would like to bring our families up, if we could? my wife, my son, and his son. [applause] first of all, supervisor dufty, thank you for your support, and all supervisors, i thank you for your votes. you have your colors on today. i appreciate that. this is a great honor for my partner and i because we of all been as players fi

well just take a look at where i'm standing this destroyed house shows what can happen when record heat drought like conditions there is nothing here that stands out as to show what it used to be nothing here looks the same and the family that lived here got out ok everyone's alive but they came back today to survey the situation and they're heartbroken they're devastated of course they're happy to be alive but nothing that their own was able to survive this fire and these forest fires that have swept through central russia had killed twenty one people leaving two thousand homeless. you know we're getting similar numbers a like that as well two thousand people are homeless now because of the fires but tell me how are they coping. it's a difficult thing of course people that have survived are happy that they're alive they're glad that their kids made it out ok but there is this sense of loss a sense of hurt that families have worked so hard to amass things to make life better for their families and then in one minute it's all gone so they're very very devastated we talked to several people about how they feel right now and this is what they shared with us. people using tr

looking at? >> let me ask the deputy city attorney. let us know what section that is in. >> i'm not sure. it is in the contract itself. there is a provision, section 11.21 of the agreement, does provide specific references to efficiency buildings prevailing wages and equal benefits. it does not meet the gates specific references in time to first source hiring, but there is a cover all provision that is in -- that says all applicable laws will be complied with by the museum, and it is our belief that first source hiring would apply. supervisor chiu: ok, we do not have in our binder a copy of that agreement. it is not in our binder. i would love to get a copy of it. i think that is indeed the case, that will probably address the concerns that i have that i think a number of my colleagues would have. i would love to see that language. >> excuse me, could you hand this to the supervisor? oh, i'm sorry. supervisor maxwell: do you want to look over it? supervisor chiu: yes, let's take public comment, and i may have questions afterward. >> there are two sections that would be applicable. section

look like this. here's a picture for when the city bought it it was a beijing home with chipping paint the lawn was sent used to look like this trend up and covered with weeds is now rushing green with hours and landscaping it took the updated kitchen and replaced it with this new cabinets counter tops and appliances. the city got a federal grant to buy up and fix up homes and hard hit neighborhoods like this house. which is now being remodeled it had been abandoned and was on the neighborhood ever welcome window broken out. even with the construction going on people is still dumping old furniture in front of the empty home. the city is selling a home is not to the highest bidder but to qualified low to middle income buyers and lowering the down payments. and acting it to make a profit but to improve the neighborhoods that these homes were dragging down. the cash to learn more about how to qualify a clock on tour website at www.kron4.com and look for news links. maureen kelly kron 4 news. >> target is hoping to open its for storage in san francisco add delete and masonic location occupied for the department

when i look at the plan and when any of us looked at the plan, i think that it's important we see that there's no delineation of what is the percentage of the home owned unit -- units? we don't know that. it's important we have a more precise understanding. i think there should be commitments maiden forcable so that when the decisions are made, if there's any material changes to the plan itself, it comes back to the board of supervisors. nobody is saying the plan shouldn't go forward. what we're saying is after the experiences a few years ago when phase one came before us, phase one came before us as an entire rental unit housing project. it survived the board of supervisors. it went forward. then unilaterally, and i said two weeks ago at 2:00 a.m. the appeals were put to bed, i said no one should we allow that phase one to come again. it was unilaterally hinged to condo without any recourse to the board of supervisors. that completely suggests a con descending role that this process may be if there's not at least some recourse that allows us the response when we spent that level of ti

people are looking for other ways to cross the bay. they have found that the use of the ferry boats may have increased by three times it is today. >> a lot of people who are looking for alternative ways to get around, people who walk, bicycle, other transportation, less people are driving. it is not just the price of gas. >> it is fun to ride to work and along the riverfront. we see that on the weekend. the promise not it is just full of people coming down, just walking along the waterfront, ride a bike, take a walk. we're becoming one of the most public waterfronts in the country. >> once upon the time, the boats would come in here where we are standing we know that because i have a photograph of that. my wife collects historic post cards of san francisco, and we have photographs of the ferry building with all the piers in place. the ferry building went through the 1906 earthquake. how badly damaged it was it? >> just the clock tower was rendered on safe or compromised. -- it was rendered unsafe or compromised. they had thought about taking the clock tower down,

and, yeah, the programming that you provided for us looks really, really good. spotted the sinatra revisited, that the unfortunately i didn't see on sunday, may 30, but i'm sure it will be repeated in the future, because that sounded good, as well as all the programs did. thank you. president miguel: commissioner lee. commissioner lee: yes, first, i want to thank jim haas. i know he's been working on the civic center for 30 years, whether it's the opera, ballet or even civic center plaza. he stuck with it and he got involved with actually renovating city hall here after the earthquake. regarding san francisco jazz, i had a chance to get back to you, but a good friend of mine is president and started the monterey blues festival, and they actually named a scholarship after him. you might want to contact him at k.g.o. sabse. he's sort of semi-retired, but he's been running the monterey blues festival for over 25 years. i had the opportunity to go down there about two years ago. actually supervisor sophie maxwell joined us. and he has jazz musicians from the united

they will respond to us, and we will look at the criteria we have.nsure geographic equity to make sure that at least one if not more is in each supervisory district across the city. we want to make sure that half of their students are living within a mile of the school, and what helps launched a program is to see if they have participated in any evidence that show an interest. but have they participated in walking to school days before? we look at the applications we have received and pick the schools that way. commissioner kim: and just because it is a program that is already being initiated, there are some community groups and other organizations that are working with safe passages for children to walk back and forth, and they actually partner with the high school students to volunteer to watch elementary school kids back and forth. it would be great to partner with them because they have an existing program and they're trying to do better out reach. there is at least some work that is being done there as well. >> absolutely. supervisor alioto-pier

using uv 4 disinfection. some nearby examples -- vallejo, a small city in the pacifica. we are also looking at a novel this infection process known as pasteurization. this is still in the embryonic stage. the idea is to take the hot exhaust denigrated from the plant's energy recovery process, and use it to pass your eyes. similar process to new pasteurization. the issue is if we can make it efficient. we are developing, with the inventor, a pprototype. next is the process for new trade recovery. -- nutrient recovery. hoss perce and ammonium nitrogen can be recovered -- phosphorus and ammonium nitrogen can be recovered to be used as a high grade fertilizer. in the corner is a photograph of what it may look like. this actually causes problems. it can cause maintenance problems. so this process would eliminate that process for us. if we go with this process, it would be even more feasible. ammonium nitrogen and phosphorous concentrations would be much higher in the hour cycle streams. now some words of caution when we consider these new technologies. we need to understand what risks are involv

my supervisor at that time, john murray, encouraged us to look for permanent employment, requiring us to apply to least five jobs per week. in december, 2009, received an alert for a job opening with the city and county as a 2903 eligibility worker. [cheers and applause] i applied and because of my experience in the human services agency as a trainee, i was notified that i met the minimum experience and qualification requirements. [applause] my family and i were ecstatic. i actually had a chance of becoming a permanent employee somewhere. later, i took the civil test and was notified that i had not only passed the test, but i ranked number nine. [cheers and applause] in june, i interviewed for the eligibility worker position. as of july 12, i am a permanent employee of the city and county of san francisco. [cheers and applause] it has not been an easy task, but if it were not for the jobs now program, i would still be trying to survive. my kids and i have gone full circle, and i am grateful for the jobs now program. i've worked with great people of the human services agency. this has

that obviously it will and we'll have a better sense of what the legislation will look like and will be brought back to us and what look like units per 100,000 and stuff like that. and i don't know what the timeline is on how soon would this study process begin? do we have a sense of that? >> the committee would be formed officially when the board approved the resolution. and one of the reasons we're, quote, rushing to the board on the august 9 was so that we can formally create the committee. and i would like to start over august. that would be my goal. >> good to know it's going to get started right away. vice president olague: commission esugaya? commissioner sugaya: i assume this is going to move forward and would like to be assured that we receive periodic reporting so we're kept informed along theway to the studies and how this is working and approved of or apprised of, whatever, and it might be easier if we revealed prop 13. it wouldn't be gyrating around this stuff every time where we want to build a street. vice president olague: to the extent you can get feedback from the different c.a.c.'s and

i think that it makes sense for us to look at the number of issues not only with the public defenderbut among the other law offices, perhaps. but i just do not see the reason to focus on it, so i would respectfully disagree with the author of this. i understand the spirit in which it is done. thank you. president chiu: supervisor daly? supervisor daly: let me respond to both with the same answer, which is that for eight years, almost every other instance, i have sided with a budget analyst and his recommendations. when it came to the public defender, i come out of deference to the elected official, sided with the public defender over the budget analyst, 98 times up of 100. in terms of retribution, i think where this comes from is that is when you are politically aligned with someone, and supervisor elsberd, the administration, you oftentimes are deferential to them. there are party-line votes, and you see it in the chambers of the time. who is where, but, typically, on the important stuff, you have a difference, and i am saying that i think i was wrong. and i am not totally sure that

i look forward to working with all of you call ever to pla. we invite you to stay with us. we look forward to continuing this dialogue in the future. thank you very much.

and that is profiling to go up there if you look like this. any of us could look suspicious. >> on the other side and across the bay, pro testors say they've been labeled racist because they support arizona's law. and they want to see the same in california. >> i'm a racist because i have an opinion contemporary to theirs on the immigration issue. >> many others in this group of minute men say the debate is about fairness. when interviews stopped, conversation changed. it caught a wreck. the driver appeared to be latino, sparking a round of jokes about his immigration status. another woman lodged this complaint. >> they should go first? no. they needed a translator so we don't have to wait. second of all... >> away the way area and around country, debate is heated. arizona officials filed an appeal with the federal appeals court in san francisco. it's a case and a controversy that appears to be headed to the supreme court. now, parts of the law that did take affect today make it a crime to give a ride to an illegal immigrant or transport day laborers ar

commissioner kim: i am looking at a survey that the use commission provided. it says here that 40% of students are most likely to report violence and harassment from other youth. we met yesterday, at and he started to mention -- and you started to mention that some of the lines that you also write. do you ride the buses? >> we monitor the terminal line at the east bay terminal. if the staff is available and we have time, we ride over on the 1 08. we also have surveillance cameras that have been brought up to par. if there is something going on, we're able to pull up the camera and meet with the staff. that is the other part of the residents that live on that island that is made of halfway houses and people returning back to the system. we do work -- we rely on the southern station to work with us to follow buses when there is a big problem or we noticed a fluctuation of kids going over and doing whatever they're doing. it was captain o'leary, that might have changed. i know we have been working down there, and deputy chief murphy has done enforcement which has

this camera provided by bp gives us a live look of a mile beneath the gulf and there is no oil escaping. the way it used to look on the left. the view from wednesday night and on the right how the deep sea oil well looked since yesterday afternoon. amy hollyfield tells us more. >> for the first time in 85 days oil has stopped spewing into the gulf of mexico. bp said it capped the problem around 12:30 pacific time. >> it's a great sight because all of us has been watching this horrible images for almost three months now. it's the first time in that time period we haven't seen the image. i have to stress, we have to manage our expectations. >> he wasn't alone in his efforts to try to temper any excitement. even the president reacted to what sounded like to be great nice with calm. >> i think it is a positive sign. we're still in the testing phase i'll have more to say tomorrow. >> the new cap will be tested 48 hours. bp executives warn that oil could start spilling from the well again and it's not time to celebrate. >> within a few minutes after they shut these off, if they didn't see a p

she would like us to look at that again. that is what we feel good faith the amount is accrued, and that is a conservative amount, given the time that has occurred. >> questions? >> appellants, you have three minutes. no? ok. commissioners, discussion? >> i think it is clear to me the department acted, as far as our policy and handling these things, it has been since 2002. i would personally like to recommend -- support staff's recommendation that we uphold this to get the fees and defer it for 15 days to accommodate -- whenever the record is from staff. maybe we could get some input from the other parties so that this is resolvable without filing. >> i appreciate that. the actual condition of the building has been fixed. is there a way where we can mention that we would like these to be recovered but overturn abatement? >> can you hear me? the board could move to say, if the appellant had ex-number of days, then the appellate board would not support this. if it was a failure to pay the fees -- >> or in this case, we would h
