, and what did not tell us in terms of the long-term consequences of using dispersants? >> what we're looking to do going forward is have a better, deepernderstanding of the long term transport and disclosure of these dispersants. while we have some knowledge of how these dispersants travel in the various -- in the water, and the various currents, specifically, how long it will take, how they will be metabolized, what are the products, what exposures they will give to fish and wildlife, those are some of the long-term questions that we want to have answered as we move going forward. >> what steps can the federal government take to ensure that the next generation of dispersants in the gulf are greener and even may be more environmentally friendly than the ones we are already using? >> this is a key question. it certainly is a key question for dispernts. it is theey question for the chemicals we use in our day lif currently. what we have currently is a situation where we often focused on character raising the chemicals that we use in ways that we try to unders

we talked about potential use of that building. it was a good meeting because the meeting was in support of a potential acquisition of that. so we are reaching out and asking people, too. may need to do a better work in advertising, but we do talk to our neighbors. chair maxwell: supervisor mar. supervisor mar: there are different community projects that you support and rebecca is here that have worked on a number of community projects. but thanks again for improving the communications between the different departments of the city. i did find a transportation study from 2009 and was able to look at the expansion plans of doubling the student population. and it looks like for onsite students, those who are in san francisco, the transportation report says about 9,200 students on site and 4,150 students online. i think that's about 2/3 on site, 1/3 online and about 1,578 in dorms or housing that's provided by academy art university. i think those dorms are one of the institutional housing questions that came up in the last hearing. but

examples of that would be naltrexone and the camprosate or disulfiram. what they're used to do is to either facilitate the recovery of persons through maintenance, as with methadone or buprenorphine, to facilitate detoxification. both methadone and buprenorphine can be used for that, as anti-craving agents, such as acamprosate and naltrexone, or to discourage use of a substance such as an aversive antabuse or disulfiram. and lisa, a lot of people might think that medication-assisted therapies is really substituting one drug for another, is that the case? no, there's actually big differences in the short-acting illicit substances and the medications that are used to help facilitate recovery. there is a lot of misinformation that's been circulating, and it's definitely to a disadvantage for people seeking treatment for active addiction. and how does that work, jane, these medications? how do they work with the individual who has an addiction? well, one of the things they do is to replace the drug that had been used that someone was addicted to. like, if you were using heroi

clark, some groups have come forward and have shared concerns with the public about the use of methadone and other medication-assisted therapies. are their concerns warranted? i think whenever you have complications associated with a medical treatment, the concerns of advocacy groups and of citizens should be taken seriously. one of the things that we're trying to do is to make sure that practitioners are in the field because we believe that the majority of these adverse events are occurring amongst pain docs prescribing for pain, and we want to educate those docs about that. we also believe that a clinic system which has over 1,100 clinics, you may have practitioners who are not as knowledgeable about what it is that they should know. and consumer groups can help bring that to their attention so that we can redouble our efforts to make sure that all of our credited and certified programs are practicing the best medicine possible or providing the best treatment possible. this is healthcare; it is an art form; it does rely on science- and evidence-based practices. nevertheless, some misad

she would remind us that last year was the conclusion of redevelpoment in the fillmore, and remind us of the prospective new beginnings of redevelopment in the southeast sector. she would remind us to remain vigilant and true to the vision of what it means to make this city prosperous for all and do all we can to prevent the hemorraghing of the community. with so much progress happening in the southeast, considering the progress we have seen in the fillmore, we have not had the hazards we had seen years before. the lowest crime rates in san francisco are in the fillmore, and that has to do with the collective work of police and community leaders in making sure we take back our streets. that prompts the kind of vitalization we want to see. mary helen would say, hey, maybe we should bring juneteeth back to fillmore, or bring them together alternating each year for the celebration. thank you.

of life. i want to congratulate everyone who worked so hard to get us here. this took a lot of time, a lot of money, and at the end of the day, what did we prove? that you can delay things, but you cannot and things, so it is in the spirit of that recognition that there was a delay, but there is now a real progress that we are going to see things really take off. i'm really proud of all our team behind me and those that were in the city attorney's office, the planning department, and other agencies. final point, what i think it's also important to note, when we had that partial injunction lifted a number of months back, you saw how quickly you part of public works went to work, the department of traffic went to work. mark my words -- you have seen nothing yet. they are ready to go, full-time commitment, a real energetic effort over the next few years. this is not going to be a big fish start -- fit/start. this is not something we're going to announce and and see people move away to complete other work. we will be doing along the lines of what portland -- i lov

[music] most of us spent all of our childhood or our adult lives for that matter with every, you know, social moment that we have is related to drugs in one way or another. so we all have-we have to learn to have a social life that doesn't involve, you know, pulling out a bag of cocaine or smoking a joint or having a drink. we had a really great luncheon around christmas time where we called our celebratory luncheon where we celebrate the accomplishments of the person, the peers, during the year. and the things we celebrate are one of our female peers got her kids back, or a male peer got his kids back. that's like a huge accomplishment. some of them work a year to get their children back and that's something for us to celebrate, and we do. or somebody gets a job we celebrate and it's important, you know, to be recognized.

non-medical use of drugs on the other but that i should be easier to get some of the same things that only get that it's necessary to reduce the amount of police had drugs on the market and at the same time the demand for drugs should also be diminished among the population so these approaches have more recorded in three so called anti-drug conventions adopted by the us if they do that as a way one of the priorities in this struggle is already crops which can be used for production but. as a matter of fact this political priority was set at the un general assembly session in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight somebody said and it was confirmed in two thousand and nine when the general assembly had been considering the work of the un commission on north korea. unfortunately afghanistan is extremely ineffective in eradication of crops used for to run production and there are no results there. less than three per cent of the drug czar destroyed. compare this with colombia where both seventy percent of drug plantations are destroyed annually you see the fact totally different social.

use a hot glue approach or a hot lot. people but the code revisory committee brought the case of plumber's using propane torch is and they cause all ties of fires. basically because there is not a viable alternative. this is something where if you look at reputable movers they do not do this practice because it is on save and we think that we should reward the reputable movers by taking away this cheaper, and save option from less reputable competitors. >> it sounds to me like a witch hunt on small roofing contractors. bigger companies recommended putting different services on the roof before they put the roof line. >> if you want to use it. >> in my opinion that would cost an additional $8 to $10 per square foot. small homeowners are the ones who are going to pay for this. we have been doing it this traditional way in san francisco for how many years? how many fires as a cause in 100 years? in the san jose or a word, where you have these newer buildings, i could see where this could work, but in san francisco we have all of these old victorian buildings with carpets and all kinds of cornices that have to be roughed up th

they're all the rest of us who use drugs all the rest of us who don't use drugs none of whom are really getting much benefit at all from the current system so i want to say we're speaking here as an advocate for different policies i'm speaking here as a former professor who's an analyst but i'm also speaking here is a parent and when you look at this policy which you realize is that the current policies are doing nothing to protect our children if anything the people who have the greatest access to illegal drugs in my country most others are young people so the whole notion that we need to continue with this failed prohibition this policy in order to protect the kids that's the ultimate lie of all subash and if i can go to you is it institutionally driven i mean is this is this the the inertia that we're facing is that everyone says it's really really bad but there's a lot of people you know there are. producers i mean you have the police on one side of the border buying what guns and then you have illegally illegally people buying guns on the other side of the border and it's just good

not at last for some of us. despite all differences, we need the healing that laguna honda is famous for. some people who come will be rehabilitated and will leave sunday. others will need 24-hour care for the rest of their lives, and so they will look forward to spending time in the spending -- in this building for years to come. it is exciting to have a new building. it is even more exciting to receive a new model of care, care that is resident centered, care that honors each person as an individual instead of a body in a bed. care that involves talking to us, and more important, listening to us, hearing our voices. so many have worked so hard, has you have been told -- as you have been told, to bring the state to pass. and now we have a dazzling new setting to present to you. when you leave today, you will be going home. but laguna honda residents will not be leaving. this is our home. and it is very important to us. we are already here. but please come back and visit us frequently. this wonderful new laguna h

we talked about potential use of that building. it was a good meeting because the meeting was in support of a potential acquisition of that. so we are reaching out and asking people, too. may need to do a better work in advertising, but we do talk to our neighbors. chair maxwell: supervisor mar. supervisor mar: there are different community projects that you support and rebecca is here that have worked on a number of community projects. but thanks again for improving the communications between the different departments of the city. i did nd

of technology? >> we know where we want to be. and we are using centrifuges for dewatering and taking it out of the county. the chart that we showed you, where we want to be, we need to be careful about the bleeding edge of technology. what is available out there, we are looking ahead. brown bag lunches, meeting with companies, many in the room, to see what other agencies are doing. d.c. water is taking a stand, and doing these things. based upon our footprint, what we have there, we thought it would work well. we still have something to do with, about that is something to take into consideration. when we talk about uv, we have to be careful. you always have to have that landy. if you lose electricity, you are out of uv instantly. there will always be some other way to disinfect. we watch places like los angeles, we talk about the green field experience in 1980. and $800 million facility that never really worked. we want to be responsible for the funds that you are interesting with us, which is why we want to look carefully at these technologies a

, the decision makers, and those of us who were responsible for delivering this project on time. we appreciate your patience and support. we're celebrating the placement of the first tower section in the self-anchor suspension span, which will soon be a very breathtaking landmark here in the san francisco bay area. this is yet another impressive engineering and construction milestone in what has been an ongoing seismic retrofit project here for a very long time. it is one of the country's most vital bridges that was important not only to the bay area and the state of california but in fact, the united states. we all know we have achieved a great deal so far and that is why we are gathered here today, but we also know that there is much more to do, so we are going to look forward to the continuing support and dedication for many years to come. i would like to ask my friend, another great leader in this area, the mayor of oakland, to come forward and say a few words this morning. [applause] >> thank you. i have a few brief remarks i would like to make, but let me just began on a per

the flip side of that is an appreciation and joy for us being able to overcome the history of that we do not want to see. there are a few more speakers. >> thank you very much. >> good afternoon. i am the tribal chairperson of the nation. there was a sunrise ceremony. the power of prayer was unbelievable. the connect with all the light that us around us. i live in indian canyon. it is the only recognized indian land in the ohlone territory. we have opened it up to all indigenous people that are in need of land for ceremony. at one time, it was of no difficult to have a ceremony. now, it is. i ask that you support the native people in the city of san francisco in any manner that you can. the power of ceremony, the place where ceremonies can take place, you will be amazed how it makes it so much easier when the light understands what you are trying to do. i am very happy to be here. i cannot encourage you enough to acknowledge the local indigenous people in this city and the entire ohlone territory that extends from here down to the big sur area. so it is in a spirit. >> next speaker, p

host: compare the use of drones by this president to that of president bush. guest: i don't know if there is a comparison. it is the military leaders using an enabling tool they have, and the techniques and procedures we are continuously learning from our soldiers, employing these assets to support the commander. those roles and missions and functions come from the use of the military leadership. host: forgive me, what i meant is the amount of the use of these systems. is it more under this administration and that the previous one? -- than the previous one? guest: i cannot speculate that we are using the systems more. the overall use certainly is increasing. as you identify, in april we went over 1 million hours for one particular system that the army has in its inventory called the shadow. that system itself as got over 500,000 hours. over 90% of those total hours have been flown in combat situations. the overall use of the unmanned aircraft systems continues to increase. host: how often do these drones and plans need to be refurbished? guest: the army's plan

all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can h

what that does, it lays out a plan of what they have to do to establish use. chair maxwell: is that something developers usually take advantage of? >> yes. chair maxwell: thank you. and what's your time frame when you think you will be finished with some of the issues that are still outstanding? it is hart to say, but what are you trying to go for? >> that's very hard to say. this is very complicated, because we have 37 properties. this is unfortunately, going to take quite some time. it is not something that's going to go away in six months or a year. it clearly won't. >> so they own -- this is including everything that they own there -- their office buildings and everything, the 37 properties. >> we were on the property list. if they want to inform us of that, we could inspect those as well. chair maxwell: if they come in, is there a red flag next to their name, watch these guys? >> we don't have any such flag, but i do think that we do have some areas that their environmental consultants outline which are for potential acquisitions. but there are study areas

i would like to think the board of supervisors in the past to have worked with us to develop this kind of law, with discussions and deliberations that were very interesting and very fruitful, and they actually served as really a pulpit to help many other cities in the state of california at. the department of environment, and i just saw, even before we had a discussion, mayor newsom had already endorsed the law itself, so we appreciate his support, too. we expect blowback from the plastics industry and the grocer industry, the very same people that tried to oppose us four years ago, had run to sacramento to make sure that the municipalities do not try this again. now, and they are literally in support of the law that they opposed a for your years ago, hoping that it goes away. we look forward to be very, very, i think, robust debate. next, i am submitting an ordinance on street frontages. i was proud to be one of the sponsors of the market batavia plant later this year. -- market octavia plan this year. now, with this ordinance that we introducing, street frontage controls for the city

many of us know her from her other leadership work. i want to recognize the brett of activism -- breadth of activism that she has brought to city hall. when i first met her, she was a leader at the plaza hotel on sixth street, which was a significant battle that involve redevelopment. here in city hall, she has been active. this is the sixth street agenda of working to stabilize the conditions. she has been south of the market community working to engage communities within the soft market. this has been involved in the housing clinic. this is an award today. she rather what have been out fighting and taking on the united states congress to get transgendered equity rather than personal accolades. that is the kind of personal -- person and later she is. the supervisor thanks you for her years of service. we wish you continued success in your leadership to san francisco. that is a lot of meetings and a lot of time spent. those of us to do the day to day of this grind know what that means and know what people give up when they spend so many

although the city attorney does have a bit of a model they use in very, very few cases. but they wound up getting cases from the fire department, the department of health, the city attorney, and actually the department of building as well. in the department of building inspection, it covered representatives from code enforcement, from electrical, from plumbing, as well as from housing pertaining to the residential properties. >> well, is this -- if this follows in the institutions, why haven't we done this before? there haven't been any other institutions that have housing or have bought buildings? why is this special? i mean, you seem special in that you have not had a task force like this before. >> in the past, the departments did not see a reason to necessarily work together. but i think one of the problems that we had is that none of the departments had really a handle on the violations of the academy of art. so what we did do is we d started by convening the -- so what we did do is we started by convening the interdepartmental task force. we started upon a schedule.

there are a few of us left. e heroism and reverie of those who served in our armed forces today, we know that they are truly our greatest generation. it takes an extraordinary person to do the job asked of the men and women in the military today. the world is a dangerous place, and this is a new era with new threats and determined enemies. our men and women in uniform preserve our freedom abroad. as a veteran, i salute them. this nation owes a great debt to them. and to every american who has served. farewell, friend. we will never forget you.

when we talk with writers at the writers guild of america, west, they tell us that their agenda is to tell compelling stories. so we need to inspire them with real stories of real people, positive stories. for example, last year our sentinel for health award winner was private practice, the abby's alcoholism story. i don't know if you saw that one. but it was a wonderful portrayal of a professional woman. you know, she's an m.d.; she's very well respected in her field. she's an alcoholic and having a problem. and she actually goes into treatment, comes out, goes back to work, and eventually has a relapse. so this episode was about relapse. one thing we know about portrayals of alcoholism and drug addiction in television comes from our tv monitoring project. we did an analysis of shows...800 shows from...no, it's almost 1,000 shows from 2004 to 2006 and what we found was that 29 percent of these episodes portrayed drug use and 33 percent of them portrayed alcoholism. only 6 percent of those alcoholism storylines actually talked about alcohol abuse or alcohol as a problem. so one thing

a lot of us today still deal with the, with the part of, whether it's paranoia, which might remain with us, which is the part of unsured-ness with ourselves, although we're not using, those things might remain with us. so what helps us is the fact that we still have a support system, whether it's aa, na or whether it's other people like us who are still in recovery, which helps us to maintain that recovery that we desperately want so much. i realized that the problem that i have right now is not a drug problem. but if i don't deal with the mental aspect of what's wrong with me, that i could go back to drugs. so i must steadily stay focused on the fact that if i have the other paranoia, if i have the other schizophrenia, one of the things that can remain with us after recovery, that i must take a look at those and deal with those on a daily basis. we don't want to go back. i've been over 20 some years now in recovery, which i'm proud of, but i realize that there's some things today in my life which still go on, which resembles me back to... but what did james do? in other words, you got

we develop protocols for use of dispersants. we had to negotiate the protocols with local stakeholders. the further we got away from that event, investment kind of tapered off. we had a daunting -- technology moving. it is time for an assessment. allotted abilities were proposed because of the capping. we did not predict a lot of technologies were proposed because of the capping -- a lot to the debilities were proposed because of the capping. this is the time to do that. >> that is precisely why the presidt said of the commission. -- set up the commission. do you have a submarine with mechanical arms that can sustain pressure? capt. nemoain nemo was detained. that is something we have to look at. when you get a permit to drill, the president wants to be ensured there is a containment structure and a plan in place that matches directly what is being undertaken. the size, the scope of the well, the depth at which it is being done, and what equipment needs to be on hand either from our perspective or from the perspective of a compan

of life. i want to congratulate everyone who worked so hard to get us here. this took a lot of time, a lot of money, and at the end of the day, what did we prove? that you can delay things, but you cannot and things, so it is in the spirit of that recognition that there was a delay, but there is now a real progress that we are going to see things really take off. i'm really proud of all our team behind me and those that were in the city attorney's office,
