the motion that the board directed us for the audit specifically asked us to look at the sheriff's department and we have included other departments including the public defenders office. we do want to point out that when public safety realignment was made effective san francisco was in a position of relative preparedness for that. they took a step to collaborate the criminal justice department and put in place standards. as you know 2008 the city brought together representatives from city agencies to support of reorganization of inmates into the community. and they started incorporating the collection of data to track the needs of phone calls re-entering the imminence. all those efforts were to share data among criminal justice departments in order to improve public safety. this slides is the budget over the past 3 years. you can see the amount of resources and how those resources were distributed among the primary participate departments. we included resources and have gone to support public safety realignment this is from the general fund. throughout the implementation of a b-109 we have p

you are looking at here is gdp but not the way that you are used to looking at it more often than that phot what we talk about d g t we focused on the economy quarter growth range and whether it grew during the quarter this teems you in terms of a absolutely level base basis and reason i'm showing it this way is because for all four quarters of last year the overall economy was better than the it was before the prerecession high water mark and we have turn the quarter into a new expansion and if it didn't feel that way it that is to do with this the none farm payroll and each bar here represents a single month's change in the total number of people who have a job and you add up all of knows jobs that was loss during the recession it's 8.8 million people and we have only created five and-a-half million total job and that leaves us with a deficit of three or so million jobs and we are cranking out more in terms of goods and services but we are doing it with 3 million fewer people in the workforce and is to some extent that is why it may not feel like a new cycle or why if you try to tell

not that many here, okay but that is if you look, into commercial real estate and they use economic engine for the entire region and so i look at the jobs that are for the worth port oakland which, is the first port that met the call to export more than we imported and that, that, is very important and that the expansion of the army base after ten years and my deputy there on swan son, over here for played a major role in getting that conversion for the federal government and the chief of staff -- and so, this is an area where, we made a decision that -- industrial jobs and the calm of the president, to make sure that we have a balanced economy, we sure hope we get one of those 15 industrial charity and is training opportunities in the country. because, they are paying college jobs -- as a solution and for some -- to be quite honestly say it's part of my evolve strategy to raise the city to 50% of the jobs to open residency and the community college to make sure that happens. as development happens some of the biggest fonts and largest footprints in the area are happening in oakland you ha

it is windy out here, 10 to 20 mile-per-hour and it looks like that wind will stay with us tonight anll the way through tomorrow. very strong onshore flow ahead of the system. throw tonight it will say cloudy, temperatures in the 60s. throughout the late morning hours we'll introduce the chance of showers. in san jose the haze increasing, also gradually cloud cover as we step off to the north. in palo alto we have some high level close that are getting pulled apart by upper level energy and we bring you san francisco where the clouds are in on the increase. so for tomorrow we'll start off at 7:00 with the best chance of some howers in the north bay an golden gate gap. as we head throughout 9 clock in the morning we'll see the showers move off to the south. not a strong storm but rathered some scattered his and miss shower es. that will gradually push out as we head throughout thursday afternoon. the best spot at this point to get any kind of rain acushion nations will be the north bay, trace amounts to maybe -- also at the coastline. not a big soaker for the south bay. temperaturings

use looking back the investigation does continue.har tsarnaev, the younger brother, is still recovering in a prison hospital and will likely face more criminal proceedings in the next few days. katherine russell, tamerlan tsarnaev's widow has hired a new lawyer with expertise in terror cases. investigators still want to question her. and then there's tamerlan tsarnaev. an fbi team in russia investigating what contact and influence extremists might have had with him. "we don't have that evidence but that's the evidence that everyone's looking for, that connection, that link" david filipov is a veteran boston globe reporter who lived in russia for a decade he has spent the last month trying to retrace tsarnaev's path to extremism. the older brother he says it "now did looking at that convince him that hey, i'm living in a place surrounded by americans, americans are killing muslims, therefore i have to go out and kill americans" "this idea that i'm so radicalized i identify the enemy with these people here, and i'm going to kill them,

what we're looking at is also an angry voice yelling out from north africa from the middle east from central asia from all the people that been because lies by the interventionist policies of the us of the u.k. of nato or france i mean not just iraq and afghanistan but libya in mali in some in yemen and of course what we're looking at is a whole country that's been decimated now by the cia killing which are a presidential you proved in the u.s. every week and also drone strikes which are not targeted they take out a whole villages communities and wedding parties even so of course there's going to be anger. meanwhile french police are investigating an apparent cold pick up attack in paris where a soldier was stabbed and nearly killed the suspect reportedly abated manner of north african origin is on the run or the manhunt underway but the french president has stopped short of linking the top to the london murder of his then journalist a second chandos so the bias will be used to demonize muslims and draw attention from failed government policy. these type of attacks plays into the structured your state to promote a false sense of islam so that is then so what people of the masses

use. that's how i look at it. >> isn't the district, maybe i'm missing something here. isn't the provision in this conditional use, doesn't it make that existing use non-conforming by virtue of being in this new legislation? >> when i read the new legislation in the code it clearly states no new uses. it does not prohibit. >> where are you reading it? >> when they created the fringe financial district. it says i don't highlight like you guys. on page 2 subsection c 1 it says no new fringe financial business be for use. but an existing one is allowed. it's permitted. >> under only the following provision which requires, but that's continuations of existing prohibited, fringe financial. the prohibited ones are the new ones. that's your interpretation. >> that's the way i interpret it. this continuations of existing prohibited fringe financial service uses. so the prohibition according to commissioner fong is the only prohibited fringe financial service uses are new ones. that's why they intended to let this forever. >> there is multiple fringe argued in the city. north of

it makes us look bad.the fact that there is anybody out claiming that adam levine was actually talking about i hate america. it makes us all look so stupid. >> it is embarrassing, absolutely embarrassing when somebody says what he was saying that he truly hates america. >> he must apologize. >> it makes me want to throw up. you say i hate america all the time, but only when you are looking for bill schulz. >> i do and there is reasonable cause for that. the only thing that offended me was the uh -- was the apology. i don't understand what he is apologizing for. when i watched the video i played it a few times because i was waiting to see what i am supposed to be angry about and i still can't find it. it was an off the cuff comment. it was sarcastic. who cares? >> this is when you walk down the street and your favorite bar was replaced by friday's. you say i hate america. >> exactly. >> it is a thing that happens when you go, oh, it is not about the country, but that it happens in the country. >> adam levin

now a forensic artist is using his training to help women understand their beauty. >> when most of us look in the mirror we focus on the imperfections and we're very critical of ourselves. now a san jose police officer is helping us see ourselves a little more clearly. for 26 years she was a police officer in san jose helping catch criminals. tell me about your hair. >> now retired he's involved in another daunting task, helping women recognize their own beauty. he use his training for the dove beauty campaign. he sketched seven women out seeing them. he relied only on their verbal sbripgss of themselves. that alone was a challenge. >> most of the time i'm sketching men who are suspects of crimes. >> i have a fat rounder face. >> the older i've gotten, the more freckles i've gotten. >> i would say i have a pretty big forehead. >> he later sketched the same women as they were described to him by strangers. >> it was a nice thin chin. >> then the big reveal. he watched as the women saw both of the sketches side by side. that's a sketch you helped me create and that's the squech that someone

the two passengers are sitting not far from us looking shaken but fine. now the job is to shore up the home here and carefully remove this van. it is a very steep drop off the hill below it there and if it had continued rolling, goodness knows what might have happened but there are homes below, again, a very steep drop and residents say the homeowner just finished some painting and, also, perhaps, remodeling of this home so now he will have a little more work to do and some neighbors say there are lots of accidents in this area the we have not had time to check that out but perhaps because of the steepness of this road there are always a lot of tour buses, tour vans in this area maybe people unfamiliar with the area but in this case sort of a language barriers we have to sort out what happened but everyone is okay. >> it looks like it could have been so were worse. not homeowner was outside finishing the painting, yikes. >> everything is okay. the weather more okay if you are not liking the heat so much. >> the coast is already cooling and spreading inlan

into our past and look who they're talking to try to keep us safen: josh, you wrote about how real disclosure laws could fix the irs president--problems. the irs has to decide which groups are political and which are not. >> i think the president spoke very eloquently about one of the problems being there is very little clarity as to what the rules are there. the irs code suggests that groups in order to be a 501 c-4 the tax exempt groups we were talking about, you have to be a social welfare organization. and campaigning and election electioneering cannot be your purposes. but very little guidance of what a social welfare organization is, and so it would be changes to the tax code to make it clear what is and isn't okay. a lot of criticisms in the inspector general report has to do with the fact that low level function areas didn't understand the rules and didn't know the rules. but a big reason for the groups that are sort of masquerading as social welfare groups to avoid having to disclose the contributers is the fact that there is no disclosure
