since the plan would increase height and density limits in the area, it was important for us to look at the skyline. bear with me on our planning talk for a few seconds, but it was important for us to look at when we talk of the buildings up to 1,000 feet what this will do to our skyline, what it will look like, how to maintain and make more distinct the city skyline. the city skyline today is characterized by what we most see -- the transamerica building, the bank of america building, leaving conte hours, and a lot of similar height buildings. the terminal and the project the transit center will create a new focal point for the city in exactly the places where it should be and create a kind of new heart of downtown south of market which is exactly where we have been thinking it should go for the last 25 years. as seen from treasure island as well, the idea is to really

it wanted to highlight the major findings because it was really important for us to look at what are some of the current trends of the population we are speaking to. following that, on the flip side, we also wanted to present the major achievements at our portfolio has funded in the past. that is also included in the lap, like what has happened with the local action plan, and the funding, a question that most supervisors and individuals in the community have. some of the achievements are highlighted here. in 2009 through 2010, we found around 511 youth were diverted from detention and enrolled in the community as a set -- assessment and referral center, a major initiative funded to work out of huckleberry programs, working in collaboration with juvenile department. in terms of specific programs, we wanted to highlight a around 374 women received a gender- specific services. out of the 395 youth served in total, 374 were part of jpd's database. that meant that this amount of women were given a comprehensive program and were also enrolled in jpd's database. these agencies work closely w

you could ask us to look at that issue with better language to address this in the future. president olague: we are asking you to do that. >> commissioners, there is a motion on the floor for approval with conditions that the department has recommended, plus lowering the occupancy for the outdoor use to 175 persons, and they come back for a six month review, that the project sponsor will continue to work with staff and neighbors on sound problems -- president olague: and enforcement of all the conditions. >> the project sponsor will meet with the buddhist center and the other patrons or people who are in opposition to the project that have stated they designate an evening cell phone access for the neighborhood, that they visibly posts linage to inform the -- visibly post signs to inform patrons to be quiet. the department will come back as soon as they are ready to approve a permit and give you information. that is what i have. commissioner sugaya: to clarify what i wanted to hear back from the department -- it would be additional consideration for sound based on the wilson

i have to look at this, this is a conditional use coming to us fresh to take a look at, and that is the only way i can look at it. perhaps the zoning administrator can clarify the concept of a rooftop use. i think we deserve to hear it from you. >> i can't do that without going a little bit into the convoluted mess of it. they have been operating illegally since at least 2005. commissioner moore: 80 speaking to the microphone please? -- can you speak into the microphone please? >> police said they could not have any commercial activity on those upper levels. in response to that, they filed a request for a director's hearing. we reissue the letter on february 24, 2009 denying the request for the other administrative review process. they appealed that to the board of appeals. and several days later, they filed their conditional use to legalize, which we previously said there was no way to legalize it. we would review its against the planning co. we reversed the initial determination. we could not justify not accepting the conditional use. the argument that they did not put forward, all pe

we are not used to looking this good. we can go to radio in pajamas. i would like to introduce our panelists for today. we will start back from the left. executive producer of the "daily mandarin and cantonese newshour." next to him is the director of multimedia and technology programs at the night digital media center at uc-berkeley. next is the managing is theidd -- managing director at idd ventures sf. nexus' the editor in chief of marketwatch.com, part of news corp. -- next is the editor in chief. the co-founder and senior community manager of oakland local, a nonprofit media that promotes public discourse on issues. in the front row is a media analyst, who publishes an was a key developer of the mercury center. next to him is an assistant professor of broadcast and electronic media at san francisco state university. next is the managing editor for local news at -- i'm sorry. he is not at yahoo!, right. he is editor-in-chief of patch.com, a division of aol that provides news to specific communities. very local. after him, we have the managing direc

since that time, the commission asked us to look more into detail but i came to code enforcement response issues. that universe has dropped down. with that, i would like to discuss the rose -- revised figure that was submitted to you for the purpose of this presentation and subsequently to its of it be, giving you recommendations on the revised exhibit day. with that, i will go ahead and start, from left to right. so, as i indicated, we have been talking about for 2010 was 285 complaints in the department. obviously, not all of those were determined to be verified complaints. typically, once they received complaints from the department of building inspection, there are usually other items as well, which take up the attention of the inspector. one of the things that we were asked to do was to look at and identify for you the number of repeated properties that have a heat complaint within the timeframe. within the 285 alleging heat complaints, 38 were approximately 13% of repeated properties. not necessarily property owners, but properties. what i have done for you is not only give you a pe

we would encourage everyone to have a look at what is going on and visit us in san diego for a face-to-faceook. thank you. >> next up, we are going to hear from kerry. -- carrie. >> good morning, everybody. i had the pleasure of being in portugal. it was absolutely tremendous. both my chairman and myself were there. we were very heartened by how exciting the racing was. i am not sure if anybody had a chance to catch the fleet race in plymouth, but tom covered a bit of the action from the collision in the starting line to a couple of capsizes. jimmy, who was driving one of the oracle boats, stepped out of the water and said, this is just like san francisco. that type of promotion really is a calling card, a road to san francisco for the next two years. what the event of a party has been able to pull together and started to come to bear. we are really excited to be able to bring this to fruition. they are doing their part. the city is doing their part. we are also incredibly proud of how the city has stood up and its commitment in pushing for the environmental review at a really impressive pa

. >> on her last day, we went to look for a place where she used to live, relying on her memory. ai was taken from the child facility by a man who was her mother's boyfriend at the time and lived with him. >> translator: he was with me all the time. so for me, it felt like a real parent-child relationship. unselfish. i felt as if he was my real father. >> her mother didn't know she was living with him. it was an abduction. it was the only period in her childhood where she felt love and cared for. she is only happy memories of the days she spent with him. >> translator: have you been living here for a long time. were you here 25 years ago? >> no. >> translator: you weren't? sorry. thank you. i think i remember this. hello. can i ask you something? when i was little -- transtran >> when i was 3 or 4 i stayed with mr. kawakami for a while. >> yes, you did. >> you went to the kindergarten by bus. >> i was going there? >> yes. >> don't you have a picture? >> yes, i do. >> unbelievable. >> i have just that. >> i think he took it in the neighborhood. >> yes, yes. >> you have grown up no

so we see that there is a lot of cause for concerns and the trends um, cause us to look at these chemicals and say what is going on here. we know from the science that chemicals are ending up where they are not supposed to be and that is inside of our bodies. scientists can measure the chemicals getting into us, bio measuring. this is from the first chapter, indecent exposure, the intimate details. charlotte was surprised by the test results. mother of 2 among the first people to be tested for a wide range of industrial chemicals. test revealed that her body contained mercury lead cosmetics. i felt violated charlotte reported. she was upset about the pesticide. i never used them in my house, never on my lawn. i bought organic whenever i could. her body contained several variations of organic chlorines designed to attack nervous systems of insects. i never bought it. isn't that trespassing. i tell this in my story of mary broon. mary never felt called to be an environmentalist she was nursing her 6 month daughter olivia and a story had been done by texas tech where they looked at breast mil

it used to look like a war zone when we came. i do not know if you have looked at some of the pictures. now it is beautiful. people feel safe. we have lots of choices of food. we have very good people to work with. the commissioner in san francisco, dwo has been great. . dpw has been great. city hall has been great. we started with 15 farmers. it has grown into this beautiful oasis in the desert. i do not know how many of you knew one of our farmers who sold right here next to the honey. she passed away about a year ago. i wanted to remember her for those who remember her also. i want to thank the new manager, john. he has just been named co- manager of the market. he has been here since he was 13. he has worked his way up from being garbageman, seller, and now being manager. i want to thank you for what is going on here. he makes the market work. another new person is kate crepps. kate put on his party. she deserves a hand. she is a wonderful person. she loves what she is doing. and she loves this market. that is what makes it s

away by all the stuff that's been going on, especially if i'm going to ask him to show what it used to look like and what it looks like today because i really think a picture is worth a million words. we also got information back about our accomplishments on our test scores. and i really want to congratulate all our students. for the 11th year in a row, the overall proportion of our students scoring proficient and above on the california standards test increased. also, this year, most of our targeted subgroups made well gains and some continue to narrow the achievement gap. for example, for the third year in a row, our somalian students outpaced the district in students scoring proficient or above in both english and math. later this fall, i'm asking our big specialist here on student achievement to come to the board and do a presentation on showing you the trends and what we're doing and we're headed in the right way, the right direction but we have a long ways to go. i also want to mention just a little bit, even though there's a lot to celebrate as we open up the school year, i do want t

trips requiring a transfer, looking at the simplicity of your trip, we expect to see an increase there. transit operating fees. when we look at travel times, a lot of people ask us to look at how we can close the travel time gap. whether you are a motorists traveling in peak or off-peak time, or if you are a transit rider, how long it takes for you to get somewhere by trans during peak compared to driving. we expect to see a widening of that honor to transit gap. we will be presenting a variety of metrics, and we will always present the one that are getting worse it, in red, the ones that are a neutral, and cray, and hopefully, in the case of things getting better, in green. unfortunately, because of the failure of growth and because of the investment policy, planned to import, we expect to see things stay about the same or getting somewhat worse in some markets. we do have four goal areas, looking at moving towards the new plan and priority that we may want to consider. four goal areas that we would like to focus on. we do not anticipate focusing on just any one area, but the idea is, together, all of these calls will help us get to sustainability. in each of t

we now have the ability to do the live, on-screen graphics that helps us to look at the playing fieldthat will be key to educating new fans and bringing new people to the sport. this is a remarkable advance by our team, the team that had been worked on this to make this possible. in the past, this had been possible only through fixed camera positions. we have now been able to make it a dynamic process where everything that is done is on the boats themselves and on helicopters above. so this does take the sport to a whole new level of possibility. likewise, we made a commitment to our social and a marketing plan part to help to spread our messages and bring the environment together for a variety of issues, not only on a sailing, but also to the commitment to sustainability. of course, the world series to post our world cities around the world. this is a great way to communicate what we are doing. i will also mention we have this partnership with youtube, another groundbreaking partnership, and they have allowed us to have their hosting on our website, which is a first for them. people

to hide. by not using telephones or computers. >> he's believed to be in a southern city where he has supporters or at the border with algeria. >> if you had 10,000 people looking for you you are scared and the whole world is looking for him. >> he left behind more than a legacy of tyranny, here is a legacy of war, stock piles of missiles and land mines across libya. his 12 year old leg was shredded in an explosion but doctors were able to save him. his friend's hand was blown off the skin tripped off his face and abdomen. it was too much. the 7 year old died on the table. >> why did this happen? ican't say anything. >> lybians might consider this another of his crime, a death of the child because this was left about. if so, they can add up the charges against gadhafi if and when they get him. barry peterson, cbs news libya. >> a revolving door shielded ken summers from the fire ball that exploded through the world trade center lob biafter the bi -- lobby after the first plane hit. his hands have still not heeled. >> it either itches or bothers me. >> many burn victims ended up dying from their injuries but he credits this man, he was a stranger and saved his l

i mentioned, we have strategies that are connected to a target population and that really allow us to look at an allocation distribution. this is the allocation -- proposed allocation for our 18- month cycle for the upcoming year of fy10 -- a 2012 through 2013. what i want to highlight is the allocation is about $15.5 million. we hope to fund 80 programs in total that do violence prevention and intervention work through all the strategies that are listed. as i mentioned, the rfp was released august 30. this local action plan dictated the way that rfp was articulate, the way it was presented. we had a proposal conference on september 8 that was attended by many agencies, a total of 62 agencies that attended the bidders conference. proposals will be due on monday october 3. we hope to then go through a thorough process where recruiters can review and then we will be looking at trying to have reviewers that our experts in the field of violence prevention locally and outside of counties. finally, we hope to announce the awards in december, negotiate around the same time period, any type of con

level of vitriol against him was astounding, and i felt that was clouding the normal lens we should use to look at this case more objectively. >> in the u.s., he pled guilty for fighting with the taliban, but the authorities dropped the out high debt charges. >> he aligned himself and -- dropped the al qaeda charges. >> he aligned himself with the regime, and it is pretty serious. he pled guilty. the judge to impose the appropriate sentence, and i assume he will serve it out. >> his journey to the afghan battlefield ended with him being designated detainee 001. his father argued that 10 years on, it is time to look at the case in a new light. >> shawn had no connection with outside or terrorism at all. he was simply a soldier. >> his parents hope they may invoke clemency and remove the stain. >> i think it is critical for his life of whenever point he gets out of prison, that he is able to live a fully human life without having to look over his shoulder at someone who wants to do him harm. >> for many americans, he remains the man who paid the price for fighting on the side of the enemy. halfwa

that at the time was 4-year-old chocolate lab, the hardest part for me was the families asking us to look for their loved ones. stuffing pictures of their loved ones in our gear. as we are walk along. i wear this faithfully since i got back from new york. >> inthis is a very big day for lynbrook. >> lynbrook is one of those places where people really step up in a time of need. a lot of people because of the railroad worked in new york city and unfortunately that also led to a lot of loss on 9/11. >> my name is jennifer muller, i live in lynbrook new york and my brother was michael hanan. i like to believe he never knew what hit him. >> i lost my uncle and godfather that day. he was really fun, i remember that. he would hold us upside down because we were little enough and he would have been a lot of fun today too. i'm part of boy scouts troop 336. this is my eagle project to plant a little garden here. >> i think that michael would look at hanney and say good for you. >> it happened in new york, but it was felt across the country, so i think all those little pieces can help hold us togeth

this image from map jack shows what the trees used to look like and here they are now. >> what we areeeing is a pattern of these trees being hacked and pruned just to make room for signs of the bank. >>reporter: the signs won. clement. geary. balboa. terrible and irving street. and neighbors aren't happy about it. >> if this is the type of childish behavior that this corporation is going to be doing i think the way the tree grows, move the bank. >>reporter: for the past year dbw director has been writing strong let investigators bank officials and he fine add corporation for shearing off tree at 2 location but the bank ignored the letters and the fine. >> they aren't listening to the city to follow city ordinance and that has led to us here. >>reporter: cutting off more than a quarter of the branches is called tree topping and it is illegal in san francisco. topped trees often die or suffer damage that result in weak limb and public safety hazard and considered an eye sore. >> it is very, very frustrating when you look to banks or huge corporations to lead by exampl example. so we cal

i felt like that was clouding the normal lens we would use to look at a case more objectively. >> he aded guilty. the authorities dropped the al- qaeda charges. he allied himself with the regime and went to fight with the regime that was hostile to the united states and that supported the attacks on 9/11. in my book, that is pretty serious. it is not for treason, but it is certainly -- he pled guilty. the judge imposed an import permits and this -- an appropriate sentence. >> he was designated detainee 001. his father argued that, 10 years on, it is time to look at the case in a new light. >> he had no connection with al- qaeda, with terrorism. he was simply a soldier in the army of afghanistan. >> lindh's parents took the president might grant clemency and come in doing so, remove the stain from the worst allegations. >> i think it is critical for john's life, whenever he get a prison, that he is able to live a fully human life without having to look over his shoulder for someone that wants to do him harm. >> for many americans, lindh remains the man who pays the price for fighting o

it will be an exciting opportunity for us to look at the low hanging fruit we can do right now, and then the other pieces that are more strategic that will require significant funding opportunities to make them work. commissioner borden: one issue you touched on is information. that is critical. i go on that next bus before i leave my house to determine when i go somewhere. but the vast majority of people -- there are different apps, and i know they are not the city's, but we should publicize them. there is nothing more frustrating than to show up and stop and not have a bus,, and not be able to find out when it will come. i can shower and plan around when the next three buses are coming. most people do not know to do that. there is such low hanging fruit, pushing out that information about where you can find bus times. you can help with muni, because people could predict the timing. the issue that most people do not take the bus is because they need to get some place quickly and do not know when it is going to come. you cannot have that unpredictability. >> we have been ruling that out

you could ask us to look at that issue with better language to address this in the future. president olague: we are asking you to do that. >> commissioners, there is a motion on the floor for approval with conditions that the department has recommended

brought us poll tested terms like a government option to describe the public option job creators to describe billionaires is now trying to rewrite history on nine eleven. yes it allows us to look back and say we haven't been hit yes allows us to appreciate george bush and dick cheney for keeping us safe but in the end it reminds us that we are vulnerable and that hurts our confidence. is once you realize that bush and cheney didn't keep us safe but they dropped the ball and as a result nearly three thousand americans were killed i could most of his poll tested lies launce knows that all us using heated enough times and sure enough some people will come to believe it and the very very ugly. term for all the rest of the rest of us were remembering the victims of nine eleven yesterday bob turner the republican running to fill congressman anthony weiner's vacant congressional seat new york city is exploiting nine eleven for political purposes his campaign sent out flyers to voters last week featuring his democratic opponent david walgren alongside president obama back drop by a smoldering ground zero and a box the flyer reads weapon stands with obama on the stand together in suppo

i felt like that was clouding the normal lens that we would use to look at a case more objectively. >back in the u.s., lind pleaded guilty for fighting for the taliban, but the authorities dropped the al qaeda charges. >> he went to fight for a regime that was hostile to the united states and that supported the attacks on 9/11. so in my book, that's pretty serious. i mean, it's not quite treeson, but it's certainly what i would call a kissing cousin to treason. he pled guilty. the judge imposed an appropriate sentence and i assume he'll serve it out. >> his journey from affluent california to the afghan battlefield ended with him being designated detainee 001. his father says 10 years on, it's time to look at his case in a new light. >> john had no connection with al qaeda or with terrorism at all. he was simply a psychological in the army of afghanistan. >> his parents hope the president might grant clemency and in doing so remove the stain created by the worst allegations. >> i think it's critical for john's life at whatever point he gets out of prison that he is able to live a full
