that is now allowing us to do binding and that will find it street lights. he ability to do it will be better generally over time. we have the ability to do upgrades on the l.e.d. street lighting. we also have miscellaneous street light repairs and the bus rapid transit on van ness. those will go a long way to change the problem areas on street lights. about half of them are owned by just pg&e. the pedestrian lighting is a particular issue because the lights were often designed for street lighting. they were designed without as many trees there. they sometimes do not like the sidewalks -- light of the sidewalks as much as people would like. and in many cases, people do not want them shining in their windows. that will be the discussion for us in the future. one of the nice things about the l.e.d. lights is that you can remotely increase the capacity. you can work with people much easier than with the current lights that we have. they are not designed for low level pedestrian writing under trees. >> i do want to reiterate this, and i know that we are on the sa

there is a presumption in that statement that the markets will allow us to do that. and i'm fearful that the markets are going to say no at precisely the most inconvenient time. >> those markets, are they vigilantes? >> yeah. >> when you look at europe and you and i have talked about this in a number of times we have spoken and met, you continue to go back to what i call cultural economics, not the purity of model making or behavioral economics, cultural economics in europe is different than in america. give us the nuance there not only of peripheral europe but eastern europe as they try to amend to the culture of germany. >> look at east and west germany. you had basically two countries starting at the end of world war ii essentially from scratch. same language, same culture, same history. and they grew up obviously when the berlin wall came down productivity level in east germany was 1/3 that of west germany. when the merger occurred there was the recognition that it was going to take a significant transfer of funds to maintain the system. that flow is still going o

i thought it would make sense for us to do it. playing the character he plays, it will allow us to get the points out. whether or not it made sense, i did it, i had a good time. i knew he was popular and people watch the show, and i've been on everything the last few weeks. the response from that of parents and has just been unbelievable. i raise that to ask what is it about our culture and our society that makes that kind of satire works so well? >> whee are so rife with hypocrisy, it is all around us. it is everywhere, it is not just even in the political forum, it is in the media coverage, the news coverage of politics. it is so abundantly hypocritical at times, and i think that just from my experience on the daily show, that is what we always look for. it was never an ideological and go, how do we secure the right wing or whatever. it was always who is being hypocritical here? that is the very foundation of the colbert report. a character that is so ridiculously hypocritical and self involved, i think it is a release valve for

under the reagan administration, they required us to do a pilot. in a law enforcement agency, the impact that it had on us was that on a typical oil change for a vehicle went from about $5 to about $20. anticipate if you did it after hours or on a weekend or holiday, there was an additional surcharge for any kind of work that was done under a-76 program. it's a frustrating experience in being able to manage our vehicle fleet. it's a 24-hour law enforcement operation. the program was canceled. so i -- this is not based on a study, it's actual pilot program that was run in the sector, and i was the chief at the time.

goothis is not to say this is te best we can do. we talked to many who used to do more. we have not been asking them to do as much. good cafeteria employees are largely unsupervised. good this is the structure, one director, one assistant director, the school reporting directly. but before you start adding child and developers of other sites. goowe observed numerous inconsistencies and questionable practices in the cafeterias we visited. student nutrition best practices indicated the need of 7. this is similar to what the district already have secured both the district did hire two supervisors. it is a good step but not enough. there is lack of management. if you take away one thing from this presentation, the single most important thing you can do to improve the program tomorrow is to hire more area supervisors immediately. you cannot afford not herto. we were asked to look got all possibilities. this was not the feasibility study characterized by some. we looked at the opportunity eyes of all -- as a whole, so we considered all options. and we heard a lot about the need

that is usually adequate for us to know who has reviewed this. and again, i do want to say that we got a kind of impressive number of representatives from schools. i will tell you that if this continues to happen, perhaps ms . casco will let us know. i wanted knowledge people who come to the meetings. people are giving us the analysis of the status of the budget. this is a real opportunity to listen to people who are in on the no, in -- the know. we do have the series 1000 of the -- of our own policies which are linked the and complex. we will at the next meeting of rules committee -- we asked the staff to go over them. there are a lot of policies there that look kind of generic toomey. to -- mto me. there are a lot of policies that are recommended and we should just from reading them. the thing about media policies, about what we do in the event of emergency. we just happen to have the policy. the proposed language come straight out of the csba. it is not quite specific enough to the practice and culture of san francisco. i am asking the staff to review all of

understand where this commission is on that issue and whether those are activities you would like us to continue to do or is that something you would like your own staff to take on? >> that some things that could bring back as a recommendation to us on what that will look like and related costs. >> i agree with that. thank you, commissioners, thank you everyone who came to testify at madame secretary, if you would call -- >> there are two whereas clauses that reference the purpose of the mou and i think your motion should show those as being struck since you are not adopting that. >> i think that was the motion. >> i intend -- consider and adopt a contract rate schedule for the 27 wholesale customers during fiscal year 2012 through 13 and the terms of the 2009 water supply agreement between the city and county of san francisco and wholesale customers. >> and that the chief financial officer and i'm here to describe to you the action item before you which is the consideration of the fiscal 12-13, next year's wholesale water rates. in advance of our rate items, we tend to bring in advance, we brief to t

allowing borrowing up to 20 years, so we're working with their team to say here would be some useful changes if the state government wants to do something in public finance, it would be to link in those terms to more of a matching useful life. we will go out as long as we can. we are typically issuing fixed- year debt so that we can refinance them to a degree that would offer savings in a future year. we have taken the opportunity to do that whenever it would save ratepayers money. but this is not just something we state. every utility in the country has this same issue. supervisor avalos: i know we have to build the source system and keep that moving, but do we see any real savings if we demand a strong recycling program? is that going to help to alleviate some of these costs? >> we are considering that in our low impact development, whether for rain water retention are swells, it helps us for temporary diversions so that much doesn't go down the pipe into the treatment plant and perhaps additional harvesting. we are doing that and that is part of what is before you today. if i may touch on that, with this question as well as

and you can't force us to do it. the federal government is overstepping their bounds when they try to force us to do this, okay? and so what's going to happen, go to this one again. see these gray states here? what's going to happen is those gray states, upper south states, the last four that will join the confederacy, arkansas, tennessee, north carolina, and virginia. they leave in response to that call for 75,000. they do not leave because of lincoln specifically. okay? virginia met and voted, okay? virginia leaders voted on whether or not they wanted to secede earlier in the secession crisis and they said, no, we stay. after lincoln calls for 75,000 volunteers, they vote to leave. that's why the upper south goes. we are not march on fellow southerners. we will not forcibly keep fellow southerners in the union. we weren't going to leave because of the election. we were going to stay and try and work within the democratic process but you cannot force virginians to invade and march on south carolinians. as much as nor

used to it. trust me. you do get used to it. >> we also do. >> yes, you just get used to it. so i would say it is also in russia's interests for u.s. businesses to be active participants in the russian market. u.s. businesses as i noted are very actively engaged on capitol hill and at the white house and in the state department saying, you know, let's get pntr because they recognize the importance of this, so it would be a real shame if the most vocal and the most active advocates of russia's accession to the wto and the united states were somehow punished by russian spfs or government procurement actions or some other kinds of actions out of some fit of pique if the timing was off because i would say you heard it here, i would predict pntr is going to happen just as russia will be a member of the wto and the congress of the united states is going to move pntr. the only question is one of timing. is it going to be july? is it going to be after july? i hope it will be july, and i know the business community is working very hard to get that done. i would also predict it will be

. >> i used to do farce. i used to do clown work. i got my new york state to break in a show where i played oscar wilde, who was a great wit. i played a bumbling husband on broadway, that sort of thing, the guys you would never be afraid of, and now all of a sudden, on and the sinister, fearful guy. i do not get it. i think it is kind of funny, really. i have to say that sometimes i feel that i am still doing comedy, it is just that i am the only one who knows it. tavis: that is one way of putting it. speaking of broadway and you worked there, is there anything better than it eugene o'neill? >> i do not think so. i can tell you that i will be thrilled to the end of my days that my debut on broadway was an "the iceman cometh," and it is a huge production, and preparations were so distracting that i think it was in our third performance before it dawned on me that my dream had come true, and they would go out before the show and be on the table top, and i was there one night thinking that this is a broadway stage and that that was a br

to marry, what should we do? and then other choices, do you want to bury them, do you want to cremate them, what funeral home do you want to use? and then we have other choices, do i want to wake up this morning? do i want to breathe today? what am i going to do with the stuff? and as grief moves through us we have more choices and some of you are at choice points today. the choice can i stay, can i make it, can i meet with this strange group of people who wear toilet paper in their pockets? what do you choose to bring with you? what do you choose to remember? i want you to also remember they lived. you can choose a good memory. you can choose joy. you can choose gratitude. you and i are blessed beyond any measure we could count because someone walked into our life whether they walked in our life or born into our life, they snuck into our life. we have no idea how they got here. and we feel hopelessly and madly in love with them and aren't you glad we did. i wouldn't have missed a moment. i think the truly bereaved in the world are those who have never known love at all. you and i in this room are rich beyond measure because s

so we used to do anticipatory, like you're going to find this is going to happen and when this happens, this is what you should be doing. and we also used to do what was known as teach-back. so let me tell you how do it. now show me how you're going to be doing it. these are really basic interventions, and you're talking about -- basic skills that seem to have been lost. diverse caregivers. this is not uncommon. this is a gentleman, federal worker, pretty high level federal worker for a number of years. retired. went to take his mother home. as caregiver. went to take her home from the hospital and they said you'll have to give these injections. nobody showed him how to give an injection. he thought, okay. i'm just going to go home. he started -- they, there must have been, heparin or something, right jt he goes home and starts giving this, bruising the whole body, not knowing what he's doing. and wound up taking him back to the hospital, in which case the health care team in the emergency room said what have you been doing to your father? this is the experience of family caregivers, m

to do that is to go beyond our scope of work. >> i agree. member pilpel: i do not have my initial language. i am not sure i used the word future. i agree that it should be struck. my intent was to include the language demographic and population trends. if the department says, based on that, the number of kids is skyrocketing, that was not the point. it is to how we got where we were at the time, which is the time we're projecting in the future. i agree with your change to be more specific about recognizing interest or other data relevant to the task at hand rather than suggest that a part of the elections should take on more. i'm thinking that a way to do it, this city should find a way to make this happen. assuming the board of supervisors has to pass an ordinance to create the task force, they could ask all city departments to assemble data relevant to the task and provide that to whoever. the sooner that starts, we did not get into that until november. did it -- if that happened in june or july, so much the better. you get the point. i think we're on the same page. >> any other future trends, a the next piece is the outreach

do. this is incredible. it harkens back to the days the police department use to do a year ago. this is incredibly well done. it is very impressive, and i do not think you need our permission to adopt this. it is great, so thank you for your hard work. >> for the public, this will be posted, if not today, then tomorrow, for download. i see someone from the public is leafing through it as we speak. good i will go to the firearms discharge review board. >> i thing commissioner kingsley had a question for you. >> first is to congratulate you. it is beautifully done in general around the police department in addition to providing necessary steps for next year. i appreciate that you're good i think members of the public are going to enjoy it and learn from it, too. thank you to everyone who contributed. it is beautiful and colorful and professionally laid out. there are not going to be a lot of hardcover copies of this. who is getting hard-cover copies, and how does it relate cost wise in terms of what has been done in previous years? >> there is no expense of producing it, and it was

to the dissident. we don't know this dissident. does he love this country? he is using the country very well. i would rather devote more time to what they are doing economically because they are trying to destroy us economically than us worrying about their dissidents. we don't know this dissident. yet we are willing to go to war over this individual dissident but when it comes to them sucking trillions dollars out of the economy, we don't do much about that. i think our priorities are turned around. >> greta: so go to war, you don't mean a real war over the dissident. >> it's not a war with bullets but a war. maybe some day it ends up with bullets, they are building a military like you can't believe. they are building a navy. they are building a navy and ships like nobody ever thought was possible. i use the war in a financial sense and economic sense at least for now. >> greta: suppose that governor romney were president and we got the call. we're in china that we got the call this dissident needs to get picked up. he was picked up by us and brought to the u.s. embassy. what i just read on the wire, he showed up at the u.s. embassy bleeding pro

us to take more in good years. we can't just take it all the time, we have to take it when there is excess. if we paid them to do things that would use water better and save water over time, what day be able to give us some of the water they were able to save? there are always concerns about water and when they see so much of their livelihood is based on the need for water. on the other hand, if you look at water issues in california, you need to figure out ways of having large urban areas willing to pay for water work with agricultural areas that don't have that much money so they can use water better this is a great pilot to do that. it is an insurance policy. in most years, we would not use the water. when we did the program, we talked about the usage. many people point out we are not using that today. when we talk about things in that the water world, we are looking at the next 50 years, the next 100 years. if we're going to continue to serve customers, we need to always be looking forward. we are contractually obligated we are contractually obligated to have 255 million gallons a

is to do the waivers, you have to create a system that basically says the children make a certain courage. -- meet certain criteria. it talks about children being in the 99th percentile. it requires us to do some testing. before we can even think about the process, we want to make sure we go through a long process, because you can only guess what is going to happen. who of the gifted children? the interesting thing about this is there are multiple ways to do this, but we want to make sure we really think this through before we randomly set up a waiver process. we are going to spend next year working with the various school districts that have people who have actually done it, how they have done it, and using that to make a recommendation to the board. we will not be doing waivers this year, but we are going to be looking at the possibility, not guaranteeing anything, of doing them next year. that is if tk is still around. questions? supervisor campos: supervisors, commissioners, any questions? i know for the day's meeting, there are prior commitments people have. we do not have a lot of time. it unless there is an objection, i would like to open it up to public comment, to give memb

alan wang is live in berkeley to tell us how they plan to do it. alan?s would not be a typical eviction because the city is attempting to evict the owner of the home. the city says they have done this under extreme circumstances and this one qualifies. the city of berkeley report says 15 people with criminal histories call this place home. arrests have been made for deald guns, drug dealing and fighting. the neighbors say they were petrified. >> because they have guns, and they are -- the house is full of criminals. >> finally 18 neighbors tbot the city to declare the home a nuisance. now the owners must follow strict conditions, or be evicted. this woman is the owner's daughter. she declined an interview. >> i don't care. this is my house. i wasn't doing anything wrong. you can't do that. >> these are scary people. half have been in jail. >> for 37 years tom has lived he tried to get police to do something. >> their response basically is what do you want us to do? have you seen them selling dope? do you have proof? do you have photographs? so they can't

us to recover from a disaster in the future. our programs actively leverage the culture of the city. we want to make sure that we can do everything in our power to enable them to do so. we prefer that everybody in the city used recovery as late -- a view recovery as a multi-agency effort. we can work with in our own domain to figure out a recovery strategy for ourselves. we're working with a couple of excellent national experts on disaster recovery to identify the building blocks of a successful recovery based on best practices from disasters over the last 20 years. we are currently developing the advanced recovery framework and the reconstruction plan to meet standards as well as a couple of other accreditation standards. if you guys have any questions, i can answer them. >> thank you. staff? does that conclude the staff report? public comment on this item? commissioners? commissioner borden: i want to thank the staff for this presentation today. i want to thank mr. cornfield. this is really important work and i serve on the board of the american red cross area chapter and dino how important it is, especially -- and i

but it's something he would want us to do to keep it going. the challenge, right, guys, was to decide what music we were going to do. >> and the fans wanted us to tour. we got e-mails from the fans around the world. i think we owe it to them as well. they want to sing the songs with us and entertain. >> i think with the brothers and each of us have our own reason how we feel on stage without our brother on there. for all these years when we're on stage he was there. now i think about he is no longer here but in spirit he is with us. >> i agree with marlon with what he was saying. what is beautiful about the tour is that we are doing some of the venues we played prior to motown, the apollo theater -- >> we started there. >> so many shows prior to michael. we know he will be there. >> six shows a day. >> six shows a day? is that right? >> yes. >> we'll come back to michael later but when you think of the jacksons is that you guys never really had a childhood. this thing exploded when you were young and you have all in some way been damaged by tha

so, all of us need to do that kind of forward thinking. it doesn't matter who gets the right the first opportunity at peace or draw our attention to it. for any of us who spent anytime in bosnia, the trip from zurich to zaghraib that one and a half hour flight seemed like a sudden way to go from europe -- heaven and europe to hell. it certainly gave me the very raw introduction to the front end to never been arrogant about what you have. we should be anxious about these places. eliminating anxiety is preventing disasters. you recognize that. it is not a great feeling. worrying about stuff doesn't make you feel great. it is better to worry about it than see the eventuality. i think that places like greece, we should be alert to. probably for cso, our focus is on three cases. hot spots, too big to fail and long-standing conflicts that don't seem to be breaking loose. you can see what kinds of places fall into each of those. what we do in each of those might be very different. we might have a full-scale operation and really be trying to push t

he used to do the radio on the helicopter. he was like a second father to me. down here on the bottom left is his future wife. they have been married for many years. naomi little. she was like another mother to me. she became my war mother. when i came home on mid tour leave, she said, i got something for you. we were at a pow-wow. i said, okay. she said, you have to go to church. i was like, okay. i was worried going into a church. i got in there. she did a blessing. she gave me the penny that max had had. she said this will keep you safe. i had another item to carry with me to help watch over me. as i carried that item, i kept it close to my heart. had it around my dog tags. i ended up at the pow-wow where i met debra mooney. she took me around and introduced me to people. i ran across a soldier. we were taking a photo together. i saw him and i said, little. he said, yes. i said do you have a brother named max? he said it is my big brother. i said wow. he was having a hard time in iraq. he was feeling it. right before i left, i said i have a gift for you. i p

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,

in risky substance abuse behavior and trying to reduce their abuse and reduce the harm that they might experience from their substance use. we decided to do our intervention in this mental health clinic. and that's something that hadn't been done before, so we decided to use this very brief screening and brief intervention tool called the assist. it is the alcohol smoking and substance involvement screening test, which was developed by the world health organization. well, we use the assist results in intervention planning quite immediately; that is part of the beauty of the assist, that it has kind of a built-in intervention that, based on the score that is deduced from the eight questions of the assist, you are kind of guided to do a validating response, a brief intervention, or an intervention with kind of a referral to treatment or a discussion about kind of getting further treatment. and in that assist they'll provide much more detailed information on their pattern of usage of various substances. we have a fair amount of detail that we end up with as a result of their completing the computerized assist. one of the things we use with t

if someone wants to stop us, send boys to try to stop us. dol be faken to try to prevent it? yes. but that is their burden to prevent it. >> eric: he says it like it is. good for you. i hope bringing sports betting to new jersey. >> dana: he was not practicing good sun protection. the only guy there, trooper in the hat doing it. brian? >> brian: fox and friends producers turned me on to a great story. it wonder when you give money to charity does it go to the right place. if you give once, they hit you with all these things. in california, they have license plate and raise $15 million. if you buy them, we will never forget is on there. if you buy the special plates you get and pay $50 for one time and $40 for the renewal and supposed to go to scholarship for victims of 9/11 and the family. a.p. did a study through freedom of information act 40% of the money is going to fund anti-terror programs, $3.7 million goes to food and agriculture department. governor schwarzenegger of all people, used it to bridge a budget shortfall. governor brown is do

us to take more in good years. we can't just take it all the time, we have to take it when there is excess. if we paid them to do things that would use water better and save water over time, what day be able to give us some of the water they were able to save? there are always concerns about water and when they see so much of their livelihood is based on the need for water. on the other hand, if you look at water issues in california, you need to figure out ways of having large urban areas willing to pay for water work with agricultural areas that don't have that much money so they can use water better this is a great pilot to do that. it is an insurance policy. in most years, we would not use the water.
