we have done exactly what the sec has asked us to do. we cannot guarantee that that will assure there will be no mistakes. what we can do is assure you it that we have done the best we can to defend you. were there to be some problem, you have a strong defense that you were not reckless, you were not deceitful, you did exactly what the sec asked you to do. with my 30 minutes, i have used 25. i normally take 90. i have curtailed this significantly to. what we did was, we have -- there are hundreds of sec enforcement cases. what i would frequently do is go through a number of the key thing -- the key cases that affect issuers. for this presentation, we cut for that. you do not want to know all of those facts. what you want to know is our collective judgment as to how to proceed. we did highlight the one that speaks to you directly, the orange county report, and we took that into account. i would be happy to answer any questions about the procedures, the cases, anything else dealing with disclosure. president chiu: any questions? ok. thank y

we will control the federal government because there will be no way for us to do it other than actually making the cuts. the only other option is to create a currency which forces inflation on us tremendously, which actually hurts the lowest of the middle income and lowest income in our country. it is called financial repression. people do not understand what that means. that means the earning power is less than the inflation every year. whether it be stopped or savings account or your retirement or your home in relative values, your purchasing power diminishes. >> based on what we have seen the past few days, how hopeful are you that we can get to this much more modest goal of $1.20 trillion? >> i would not give up hope yet. things never get solved until they have to. lowry said that earlier. it never happens until it has to. -- laurie said earlier. the last few hours is monday night. my hope and prayer would be that everybody in that room thinks about what is going to happen to us two years from now when we have not done this, if we have two years. i am not sure we have two years. we

brooks had asked us to do on improving the energy efficiency and efficiency of the operations of the america's cup venues. we're the power provider at many of the venues, so the america's cup will have access to that clean power we have been talking about. we have some creative ideas as to how to help the program meet sustainability objectives that are articulated in that plan. >> the cruise ships are a big deal because of the missions. >> we have been in discussions with members of the team looking for other opportunities along the port to offset emissions like that. we look forward to coming back with some solid recommendations. >> thank you. >> any other comment for communication on staff reports? >> the next item is a happy occasion, we are honoring a leading member of the community and a very important community organization for providing service as well as adopting a schedule of regular meetings. if i could call mr. de los rey to the podium, the manager might like to make a couple of brief remarks. >> the advisory committee was established to bring in our efforts to provide oppo

we are sick and tired that you do not have programs for us. they fought to open those places up, and the companies responded. what did the government do? it used to be that a government license had to be renewed every three years. the expanded it to eight years. they made it more difficult for this effort of accountability to occur, and so now, what you have is the media companies are sliding backward. they are not being held responsible for their public interests to provide news and information, to provide quality children's programs. no one is gauging how much time they are devoted to commercials rather than to content, so the safeguards that existed before to insure that the public airwaves were used to serve a public function, they have been whittled away, so they are able to develop the consumers, to exploit the market, but they are not being held responsible for their public interest requirements and also the citizen movement has become disarmed. unfortunately, too many of our civil rights organizations, which used to stand up against a media concentra

they wanted us to do a kickoff event and let each site decide how they wanted to showcase their program. we got together and said we could not do this without our community partners. the purpose of the networking breakfast was to acknowledge the 30 or more community providers that are here today to help us figh homelessness and end it by 2015. that is the goal of the current administration. [applause] we had our breakfast this morning. people may still be hungry. there is coffee and other goodies. thank you to the salvation army for hosting this event. we have helicopters. we did not do that on purpose, but it adds to the drama -- and the sun came out. i am going to start by welcoming our honored guests. ed is the acting medical center director and my friend. we have worked together a long time. he is a big believer in our mission. lieutenants smith, regional commander of the salvation army. come up here. thank you. [applause] the principal deputy undersecretary for health. he flew in all the way from washington to be here and speak with us. thank you. [applause] state senator leno, tha

i want to thank you for allowing us to be here to talk about the energy retrofit programs they have been allowing us to do. it was a really simple goal. it was federal stimulus money, and the goal was to do something long term that was good and the other goal was to make sure we spend the money quickly and got jobs we were creating. what is great is we accomplished both. we wanted to celebrate that today. the city already provides about 100% clean natural gas -- not natural gas. back that up. the city provides greenhouse gas free, 100% renewable energy. what is different is we're saying now that we provide that energy, we should always still be conserving, all we still be looking at energy efficiency opportunities, and that is what we're doing. this is one of 10 sites in the city including other cultural centers, health centers, where we took this money and really changed the behavior of what is happening in those buildings. we are here to celebrate that work. we had $3 million of this money from the stimulus funds. we are updating fluorescent let's -- lance and replacing them with modern efficient versio

to do his framing, i am sure he knows better than me now. it does not strike me as fact pertinent as to what is before us. there is no doubt that a bank is supposed to removal of materials on somebody else's property and you do not have authorization to access it, the permit is sort of void and mute. -- moot. i believe the attorney alluded to it, but it was not stated extensively that the previous agreement still applied. for such a limited scope of work, i would think that there has got to be a solution. we would ask the building department to ask what it is that we are trying to remove. removal of a simple form does not usually required drawings. the appellant and the permit holder can have ongoing discussions. i am almost that a point where i could make a decision tonight. let's waid and see if we can get a resolution to this. >> i agree with that. let's get a photograph to see what is really going on there. >> unfortunately, the schedule is not good for our number of hearings. the next hearing is either january 11 or the 18th. >> what do you mean? >> we have nine and 13 cases. >> we could squeeze it in

using the system for business taxes. the board of appeals wants to use the system. initially, we need to look at what we are currently doing well and who is currently using it. and then we have every intention, having expressed in this to the board of supervisors and the mayor's office, working with other departments to get them to maximize their use of the features that they are not using right now. >> it would help, i think, because the board and the mayor's office have prioritized helping small businesses. the department of health is involved. it makes sense to be able to coordinate all of this to give better service to the end user. i also understand that it is a later step where you coordinate the peripheral departments. i think it is part of what will meet our needs and the city's priorities. >> can anyone give me an answer, how long would it take to get our records that are currently on microfilm to digital? >> it would be a lot. >> is it going to take, -- is it going to take 10, 20, 30 years? >> we have already been working on that. >> i understand that, but does anyone have any idea how long? maybe the department

we're not going to go on the owner's property without permission. this permit does not give us the right to do that. we need their permission or need to get their permission to go on to the property. your time is being used as leverage for settlement negotiations rather than to deal with a legitimate building permits issued. i am happy to answer any questions. >> you wanted with the e-mail you were speaking about on the overhead, you could put it there, reference it, and it could be on the record. >> thank you. this is my first opportunity to appear before you, so thank you for that. commissioner fung: do you concur with him that the pieces of what you want to remove are on 15 guy st's property and. >> we missed was some years. there may be a few inches on a 50 lansing, but the majority is on 15 guy st. for your reference, the entire issue came up because a notice of violation was filed. >> thank you. >> thank you. president goh: mr. duffy. >> good evening, commissioners. joseph duffey. reading the brief, this has been going on for quite a few years. i see a building permit simply to remove so

to do. this what is it they want us to do they want us to keep quiet do not want us to have pride so religion it is part of our how our system i mean when i went to university once i started the ology for two or three years ago in university the main thing there was critics criticizing the bible criticizing the scriptures. wondering if it does it's not allowed it's law and i think if we do start accepting threats then we have lost so that's why i think it's very courageous. to do this and be again but you must cross into the let's hope somebody else will carry on because we need to say to these people you know you are not the one to decide we decide how about our free speech we all say what we like so and as i said i deputy speaker of the dentist parliament an m.p. for me then it people's party many thanks if you. get over to our sarah further reporting from greece where anti immigration sentiment is actually reaching a boiling point fuelled by the country's economic crisis. on the streets of greece protests have become a common occurrence this gatherings not one of the usual demonstrations.

to the use of force in the middle east russia had only two options left kristie it could send its troops to support the other party in the conflict here this is a way the soviet union used to do they can those days when we had many so. local conflicts in africa healed by the soviet union and the united states. the other option was to side with the us which is what we did more or less with but it didn't work out that well. i don't think russia had any other option. what do you think yes there was another option of the more you know the situation in those countries and if you polled the developments there if you maintain a dialogue with the opposition as well because historically the opposition was quite strong in those countries you just didn't have an opportunity to come to power so if we had stronger ties with the opposition we would have been able to play our game with both the government and the opposition with those countries you need theory subtle oriental diplomacy. what are your rivals a very influential politician of let him or her enough he said while sitting in this studio that the u.s. remains our number one enemy do you agree with us i wouldn't call it enemy of co

and just like she would normally do if we were sitting at dinner in a restaurant, she would flip it from one finger to the next. >> as she used to do? >> as she used to do, just like i'm doing here, and she would just very naturally, you know -- so you knew she was in there. that there was that part of her. >> that's fascinating because that's -- that's a conscious thing that she is doing. >> yes. >> which you recognize as being a thing she used to do. >> yeah. and the doctors asked me that. is that something she has done before, and i said, yeah, that was what she did all of the time. >> what was the first word she spoke? >> it was reported she said the word "toast." which she did around that day. she was asking for toast. she got -- you know, the hospital food, they were giving her the same thing for breakfast, but before that she said the word what and she said it over and over again, what, what, what. and it was almost like her brain was rebooting up again and that's the word it picked. >> were you there when she first said that? >> yeah, i was standing right there. >> how does that feel? >> well, it feels great. you know

now they will allow us to do that. we're working closely with the human service agency to create a regional server. it would be our server room, located in our building. it will be a model

hello mr sure enough ski thank you for being with us to begin with guarding your campaign agenda are you happy with russia's current foreign policy issue and do you still consider the united states to be russia's mean potential adversary told. us foreign policies and foreign affairs in general are all parties strongest point i am writing a book right now titled the coming orient where i lay out take on all major foreign policy issues it's your personal strong point because of your background. oh yes my first degree was in international relations. in principle russia's present foreign policies are smarter than they were in soviet times and under president yeltsin but we still see some drawbacks i mean our stance could be tough for us take north africa we should have blocked any u.n. security council resolution and prevented any air strikes against libya. the same thing our party demanded during nader's yugoslavia containing. russia must not allow any country in the world to get bombed no military intervention should be authorized except for somalia maybe. the whole world is faced with somali piracy with ships being hijacked brazenly secondly i

direct action are over considered registered to mr terrorist in this country with file interest but i have no idea how big it is. i can't do the things that used to do but what i can do is share my story share my experiences and continue to advocate for the world that i want to see and continue to try to create real and meaningful change. today we're announcing the addition of the annual. san diego to the f.b.i.'s most wanted terrorist list. wanted for his alleged involvement in the bombing of two biotechnology facilities in the san francisco bay area san diego's criminal acts of violence were to mesnick acts of terror planned out and possibly intended to take lives destroyed property and create economic hardship for the companies involved the f.b.i. is announcing today a reward of up to two hundred fifty thousand dollars for information leading to the location and arrest of daniel injurious san diego animal rights and environmental extremists remain a significant threat based on the economic damage and widespread nature of this threat. these extremists have been responsible for over one thousand eight hundred criminal acts and more than one h

found to cities that have done it in limited ways that we have heard we may not want to do or would be practical for us to do. ironically, because of the clipper system. i think we would be blazing new territory here. i think we would have to be comfortable that that is what we are doing. i do not think we are going to get a lot of insight from elsewhere. there have been some issues. with the portland program. the discussion here is at a much larger level. we would need to be comfortable with that. i guess i would just close -- i appreciate the direction from the board. we will work particularly with our operations folks and finance folks to continue to see what we can get out of the school district. there were some other ideas we should look at -- bear increase and service reduction. those are things we would probably bring forward in a future budget. i think we have good direction to move forward. as soon as we can to bring something back for action in korea -- bring something back for action. director ramos: in the comments i made fort youth -- for youth in to ride the buses. we talked about there's

appropriate, then, for us to make sure that not only our alliance but the security architecture of the region is updated for the 21st century. and this initiative is going to allow us to do that. it also allows us to respond to a whole host of problems, like humanitarian or disaster relief, that, frankly, given how large the asia pacific region is, it sometimes can be difficult to do, and this will allow us to be able to respond in a more timely fashion and also equip a lot of smaller countries who may not have the same capacity, it also allows us to equip them so they can respond more quickly as well. i guess the last part of your question with respect to china, i've said repeatedly and i'll say today, we welcome a rising, peaceful china. you know, what they've been able to achieve in terms of lifting hundreds of millions of people out of poverty over the last two decades has been nothing short of remarkable. and that is good not just for china, but it's potentially good for the region, and i know australia's economy, obviously, has benefited by the increased demand that you're seeing in china. the main message that i've said not only publicly but also privately to the

you want to tell us what really happened? >> i got nothing to say. do nothing about it. you coward! >> gentlemen, i shall be brief but i would like to use the remaining time i have with you to remind you that this case is not a difficult one. it requires no minute sifting of complicated facts, but it does require you to be sure beyond a reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the defendant. to begin with, this case should never have come to trial. this case is as simple as black and white. the state has produced not one iota of medical evidence to the effect that the crime tom robinson is charged with ever took place. it has relied instead on the testimony of two witnesses whose evidence is not only been called into serious question on cross-examination but has been flatly contradicted by the defendant. the defendant is not guilty. but somebody in this courtroom is. i have nothing but pity in my heart for the chief witness for the state, but my pity does not extend so far as to her putting a man's life at risk which is what she has done in an effort to get rid of her guilt. i say guilt,

now they will allow us to do that. we're working closely with the human service agency to create a regional server. it would be our server room, located in our building. it will be a model implementation that the policy on information technology has said that they would like to reduce, which is the number of service firms. we were the first department to attempt to consolidate and work together and be will be the first apartment to work with information technology. conceptually, it is work. planning as work. i think that it will reflect well on our participation with other departments. just to jump down rather quickly, we are continuing to work with the department of technology, dtw, the assessor's office and enterprising system is by being able to work with our address in systems. right now there is a parallel in the updating of addresses. this has been a difficult, difficult profit -- project. so, that is a with a good situation. >> we are 90% there? 80% there? how far away are we? >> between 1% and 100%. [laughter] >

>>guest: well, there is a conscience us to do it but it will take some leaps from both sides. ratic side, people are going to have to be willing to embrace more entitlement reductions and i'm ready to do that. on the republican side, people are going to have to embrace some tax revenue increase that would help plug, maybe, $1 trillion of the $4 trillion goal. they have to do that. >>neil: weren't you among the handful of democrats would signed the no tax pledge and --. >>guest: i did in 1992 i signed a pledge promising not to vote for tax increases for the next two years i understood, i honored that pledge and i never renewed it again and, i always say, i only made one promise if my life, to my wife, tomorrow is our 18th wedding anniversary, my promise on that tax pledge was not 'til death did us part. >>neil: he is ticked. he is ticked. the tax pledge is a promise to oppose tax hikes as long as one is in congress not until you change your mind. what do you say? >>guest: i didn't see that fine print and, frankly, that is not my understanding. the promise is between me and my co

director to do the best you can, you know, belling, borrow, steal if you have to and get us what you need to do this. and he knew what the mission was. he knew what our goal was. and, you know, with our i.t. grids and our software vender, they really came together and pulled it together for us. it made it possible for us to be able to serve as many couples as we have been. >> so once you're ready, you and your husband to be or wife need to be need to check in here and check in again, ok. are you also going to get married today? >> yeah. >> let's process you one by one. do your license in, exit and re-enter again check in at that desk. >> our wedding is at 3:00. >> as long as we get you in today. >> we're getting married at 2:30. >> don't worry about the time line. we're greeting people at the doorway and either directing them to the services they need on this side which is licensing or the services on this side which is actually getting the ceremony performed. >> this is an opportunity to choose to be a part of history. many times history happens to us, but in this case, you can choos

but it's not the kind of threat to the military used to do for and what happened over the years is the terrorism took an increasing blow. it was a very annoying phenomena that they had to respond to quit often. the problem with terrorism i don't fully there was an awful burden on policy makers to make a decision, to reassure the public but we are in control terrorism is something that's hard to control. it's much more challenging than fitting a division where and the egyptian and armored brigade that israel is rather unique in the sense that it's filled with terrorism for years and years and all kinds of terrorism had they perfected a model that you have seen? >> whenever they do perfect model the terrorists are innovating and so for a sample of we think about last several years when israel was coping with a very formidable challenge of suicide bombers. between 2004 preoccupying parts of the west bank wouldn't be a good solution and it did work because since 2004 the number of attacks is significantly bad. i didn't eliminate terrorism because then hamas for example will learn that in o

you want to tell us what really happened? >> i got nothing to say. do nothing about it. you coward! >> gentlemen, i shall be brief but i would like to use the

now they will allow us to do that. we're working closely with the human service agency to create a regional server. it would be our server room, located in our building. it will be a model implementation that the policy on information technology has said that they would like to reduce, which is the number of service firms. we were the first department to attempt to consolidate and work together and be will be the first apartment to work with information technology. conceptually, it is work. planning as work.

i would like to see next year us do some of these tabletop operations and exercises. i do not know were the admiral is, but i would like to welcome you to put a few ships on the east bay. i think it will be visited at the world cup or something like that. and our harbors are debir anyhow. -- are deeper . [laughter] i think using this opportunity and looking at what we might have to do together sunday, and using this time when you are in our harbors. this used to be our home, but that was a long time ago. we had more opportunities to work closely together. coming from someone who married into a navy family, you have many, many, many people here in the bay area who are in the navy, and we want you to feel very welcome here. so i would love to see any kind of expanded activity around fleet week, whether it is just recalling the history of the nave -- navy in the bay area or whether it is being prepared and maybe doing tabletop arraus potential future scenarios. >> it is interesting that you ask that question, because right before i left, some said, where are you going, an
