happy to be part of the celebration of this milestone and just want to take a moment for all of us to look around this room. we talk about the diversity of san francisco, but it's not everyday that we come together in the way that we are this morning. i also want to start by thanking the warriors, management and your organization for playing ball with the city for making sure we are setting a standard for how we do privately funded projects and on behalf of the board i want to thank you for that and thank those that have been warriors for this concept to making sure local projects involve local employees. from the community partners and chinese for affirmative action entailed what the issue was and our employers that supported local hiring and our champion of local hire supervisor avalos. mr. mayor since you came into office this is on the top of your agenda and local hire and want to thank and you the port and work force development and jenn mattes and all of the departments coming together for this and of course i want to thank the men and women who will be doing the work. you are buildi

this is what it used to look like and now. right below us. my family was lucky. the house has been in the family for more than 50 years and appears to be ok. the damage is minor, but house is standing and in the same spot where it is supposed to be, which is what our greatest concern was. that might have gotten moved because it's on an older foundation. >> further south, atlantic city remains closed off but flooding was the problem here. cape maine may have had high water, but this clearly missed sandy's best pitch. >> like everyone else who has a home in that area, in my family, we are anxious to get in there and assess the damage. but there was very little going on in terms of the beginning of the cleanup. there is an awful lot of work that has to get done. at this point, there is no timetable given for when owners of the property may be able to get back again. hong >> unbelievable. >> it could have taken a turn up the chesapeake bay. >> as they pick up the pieces, trains and buses aren't doing the same. >> we've got more on that part of the story. >> i want you

police resources wisely or not using science to guide where to use our police resources. we need to look at our transportation system and revolutionize that. that will improve a lot of things, public health, public safety, commerce. so we need to be looking with a vision for the future about what we want our city to be. and i think i have done that before and like i said, i'm for prevention. and i'm for looking to the future and figuring out how we can sculpt a better san francisco and that is what i will do as supervisor. thank you, mr. davis. i want to remind folks and point out that we have seen a disturbing trend in san francisco over the past couple ever years. of years. we have had a lot of leadership appointed for us. an appointed mayor, appointed district attorney when our leaders are chosen for us instead of by us. if you want leadership in our city, i'll i'm your candidate. at juliandavis.org, there is more detail about the grassroots campaign we're building. i encourage you to look where the candidates are getting their money from. i think it says a lot about whose interests t

and looking ahead to next weekend, a chance for another storm system. another one that could bring us a little bit of light rain on saturday. >> all right. >> everybody here hoping alabama lost the game. it was a great game. >> great game. texas a&m, johnny football, their quarterback there. young buck leading the way. it's a big college football saturday around here, too. maryland living a harsh reality. no real quarterback, no chance. clemson opens the woodshed up and maryland walks right on in. an ugly loss. wait until you see the ending of the virginia/miami game that. guy right there was balling, good stuff. speaking of good stuff, the nats knock off a good man. it's all coming up next in sports. >> well, it's big news and then again you sort of saw this coming. the nationals thought all along that davy johnson was the right man to lead this young team. when the season ended, signing him was priority number one. consider priority number one complete. the team announced today they signed him to a one year jail. the 70-year-old johnson will remain with the season and remain with th

just looking at regurgitating facts, but in english language arts, they are looking at technical reading and writing and how to useevidence-based practices to support what they're saying and writing, an on the math side, how they not only look for the right answer, but how they can conceptually explain how they derived those answer. then we have the assessment to determine did we implement well, and are students learning, so i believe as we walk through this, this is a field test year, so we can really assess what works best to ensure that we are being fair to teachers and leaders, as we walk through this process. we will get to a better place. it really is about the curriculum, the assessment is a lagging indicator to determine if we implemented well and if the students are learning. >> and in defense of teachers, they're going to say, we're more than just teachers. and when it comes to assessments, we have to play the role of parent many times, disciplinarian many times, so they do more than just that. how do you factor in that in to their jobs? >> i believe with all my heart and having been a teacher for many y

to know. well, while you're looking at that, i'll raise my other question. in terms of second and third floor use, it specified philanthropic and administrative, but it didn't mention just general office. why wouldn't you be able to just have, you know, an insurance agency upstairs or something like that? i don't understand why we're being so specific about what could be on the second floor. >> great question. the reason that there is no definition for just general office, and that is something that the department is looking into creating and hopefully bringing forward to the commission soon. the idea was that when neighborhood commercial districts were created in the '80s, they didn't want offices in neighborhood commercial districts because they weren't retail. so, an actual definition wasn't created. >> i think that's really important because we found second floor retail is often not very effective, sometimes even ground floor has problems. but, you know, second floor uses for office and other type uses, not at the expense of housing, is often a very appropriate use. and when it's quite succes

this is all used to look we've already given the so much money and they should start to pay a lot. of is my opinion and there's nothing more i can say and. it does seem to debate that took place on thursday that the majority of the the social democrats in the green party will get on board with an. proposed aid package for greece most important for until a merkel is making sure that her own coalition stay on site and stay. in a test vote on this issue that took place earlier in the week we saw ten members of anglo merkel's own party vote against her we're going to see a general election here in germany between september and october of twenty thirty where anglo american will be looking for. the chancellor and she's going to need the support of her party under of the other parties that make up the coalition so this vote they say on important for greece but especially important for angela merkel and her hopes of reelection. hard has been all over is keeping an eye on the upcoming crucial vote in the german parliament so follow his twitter feed for all the latest developments. in the. u

one of the items could be to look at that score card or report card idea and actually use some of our -- what would previously have been budget hearing time to look at what a helpful one-page report card for our entity would be. the sample before you are samples, the first one is what voters requested that the independent controller city service auditor do for parks. you can see it simplified to one page with parks that are clean and tide y and green, and those starting from the left, there were a lot of parks in disrepair when this started in '05, '06. but parks have really improved and become more clean and usable. that's a nice report card style. but the report card on streets and street cleanliness and graffiti and trash receptacles and trees is a little more detailed and quantitative. but it shows a multi-year trend and summarizes in one page if we wanted to see what the status and health and cleanliness of streets and sidewalks would be. these are both independent score cards, report cards that the controller's office is doing, the city services auditor the board asked them to d

i would like us to look at -- it would be nice if you could ask apple to disable their phones.y now able to erase your information, but they will not disable your phone or at&t. unfortunately i'm afraid government is going to have to step in and say you must do this or we will sue you. there is lots of police time and energy and worse, there are many, many citizens who are getting really badly hurt for their iphones and their ipads. >> thank you, mr. resignato. >> i'm going to go back to transit issues. i think we need to double down on being a transit-first city, which means improving muni, so it's a viable transit option for everybody. i agree with increasing bike access and even experting with sunday streets, which is closing off a lot of your streets to car traffic. i think it's a great model, but i also think we have to do the simple things like fix the roads and sidewalks. there are a lot of places in district 5 where the sidewalks are in disrepair. i have had several friends who have tripped and fallen, but really who that impacts the most are the elderly and the disable

which brings us to today it's easy for us in this day and age to look back two hundred years ago condemned jefferson he used the cheap labor resource of his slaves to maintain his lifestyle and the consequence of his failure to abolish slavery was a bloody civil war followed by a hundred years of legal apartheid although he rationalized his slaveholding by keeping them in a style that exceeded that of most poor whites of the day both were grim but today's standards it was nonetheless a rationalization of slavery jefferson's lifestyle was made possible by slave labor there's no other way to say it recognizing that fact many americans are righteously indignant and quick to judge him harshly yet how many of us would willingly free our slaves i'm looking into a camera filled with parts made in countries that use slave and prisoner labor you're watching me on t.v. or on a computer filled with parts made in those same countries our rationalization is that no companies in america make many of those components any longer it is just a rationalization and it's no less hypocritical than jefferson's i
