and to separate us.he communist-dominated part of the world controlled by the soviet union and the cama knees communist regime. and of tremendous importance is that part of the world which is attached to neither camp. the uncommitted nations of the world represented in grey on the map. for the most part, these nations are absorbed with their own problems. either they're newly independent after years of domination by a foreign power or they are still seeking independence. the strong tide of nationalism sweeps over this part of the world and with it, a mistrust of anything they feel is associated with the old ways of colonialism. they are not committed to either side in the conflict. our own policy toward them has been one strictly of watchful, nonintrusive friendship giving help when help is asked for. but otherwise, keeping hands off their internal affairs. the communists have been more direct. their local party members have not hesitated to exploit to their own advantage the passions that smolder in the

these moments of prayer slow us down. they humble us. they remind us that no matter how much responsibility we have, how fancy our titles, how much power we think we hold, we are imperfect vessels. we could all benefit from turning to our creater, listening to him. avoiding phoney religiousity, listening to him. this is especially important right now when we're facing some big challenges as a nation. our economy is making progress as we recover from the worst crisis in three generations, but far too many families are still struggling to find work or make the mortgage, pay for college or in some cases, even buy food. our men and women in uniform have made us safer and more secure, and we are eternally grateful to them, but war and suffering and hardship still remain in too many corners of the globe, and a lot of those men and women who we celebrate on veteran's day and memorial day come back and find that when it comes to finding a job or getting the kind of care that they need, we're not always there the way we need to be. it's absolutel

we can open them up to even more diverse use, safe uses of our roads. and certainly our bicycle enthusiasts have a great contribution to that as i saw on grand beach and chinatown. when you close from tower to bush street and allow the people to get out there, you can see some fantastic results and we're going to patiently wait for the statistics to show us how much that impact was. but i want to simply welcome you here today and to put something in context they know will be exciting for us. you know that bicycle travel has increased over 60% since 2006. and that if we are to make sure that our goal of bicycle trips of being 20% of every trip that is in our city to be 20% by 2020, we're going to have to work a lot harder. we're going to have to educate more people. we're going to have to bring a lot more people under the tent, and we're going to have to understand how leadership and education and enforcement work together with a cultural change that we have to produce in our city. we are, not only in name, a transit-first city. we also want to make sure

so this is the use. we own many bikes but we use them a lot as well. we use -- 27% of our trims are made by bicycle, average in the netherlands. denmark, 18%, germany, 10%. and in the u.s., average in your country is 1%. the latest figures i've got. and as i've told you it's the average, 27%. but if you have a closer look and you look at short-distance trips then it's 34% on the bike and 15% of trims up to 10 miles we also use the bicycle. still a great share. and we have two cities that are top of our bike use. the city of gronig and the city of shola. over 50 october of of all trips daily made by bike. and for regional use of the bicycle. got some figures compared to a car. then you can see that schoolchildren use the bicycle very frequently for education. and still businessmen use the car a lot. and social recreational reasons. a reason for using the bike and shopping. we like to go shopping on our bikes. come to that later. and when it comes to gender. who's using the bicycle. i'm told that the netherlands is very typical on this. we have more wome

using pbn approach procedures using gps, more and more approaches are used by the mean was of the commitment in the aircraft only with little or no reliance on ground equipment bringing enormous safety benefits and airports previously with no instrument approaches now have pbn. today, when u.s. airlines fly into nigeria, kazakhstan, ecuador, and georgetown to name a few out of hundreds, they are more assureed of safe operations because the gps. it is important for next generation aircraft surveillance, and you're aware of automatic surveillance broadcast, but over oceanianic space, contracts allows air traffic control to have surveillance where this was impossible. timely, two of the most significant air traffic improvements that have become available are the dissent operations and continues climb operations, a major initiative and gps allows this extremely efficient flight routeing to be enabled. now, just a few words about the spectrum, major issue that has much to do with the importance of gps as anything else. i'm referring to the problem of frequency spectrum, available radio frequency

we need to rollback uses of it. >> what about using your inteshal revenue service number. wouldn't that be a good identifier to substitute for social security and have extremely limited opening of the safe, so to speak, the priva vae your e.i.n. nurks employee identification number. wouldn't that be better? >> if you have a specific number and they can't use it for other purposes, yes, that would be a step forward. >> evan mentioned socials and accuracy. he talked about accuracy of databases. one of the reasons the social security is used in protected database it's that we have 40 million consumers who move every year in this country. we have three million last names that change due to marriage and divorce. there's a lot of things that change about us. there are databases that consequential like a credit report where accuracy is paramount and where a social security is part of the building block. a credit report isn't available through the google search. it's controlled under a law called the fair credit reporting act. >> people don't seem to be bothered about giving up pe

we have determined there are devices used by public safety agencies that are in use today. what our plan would be to go through the next three years, and as the devices reach the end of their life we would replace, so the cost cc at the bottom for devices would be replacing those at an average of $300 per year over the three-year time we defined as the first phase of deployment. those would be the minimum spirit of we would aggressively be looking for a grant funding or other funding, because we believe it is going to be valuable. this would be the starting point, but we would be aggressively looking at grant funding to purchase additional devices to supplement if we find the funding, and i think i am going to stop theire and open it up. if you have any questions, i would be happy to answer those. >> why don't we go on? >> good afternoon. i briefly wanted to support this project. it has great benefits for the department and the city as of hole. good region -- city as a whole. my understanding is the project will provide us with another tool but most definitely could assist

supervisor carmen chu is also with us. we are also lucky enough to have supervisor mark farrell as well. maybe he is having a pastry or something. there is a lot of traffic between here and city hall. that is a bad joke, i know. we also have supervisor eric mar here with us this morning. all the supervisors are sitting together. we are also lucky enough to have the chief of protocol for the city of san francisco charlotte schultz. last but not least, we have tony sun, chair of the asian arts commission. that's good started this morning. i am going to get off the stage and and things off over to jay hsu. he is going to tell us a little bit more about what we're doing today. >> someone needs to hand me the remote. terrific. brand implementation is a journey. the asian art museum embarks on a new journey. to reinvent ourselves, to engage a broad audience. the broad audience is very much at the core of what we do here and who we are. why now, you ask? as the aging world influence grows, so is understanding its culture. more th

using it? to meet you can go to the privacy settings and come up with a privacy let level but when you do that you limit the functionality of a lot of it services. the other thing is to just know if you are aware everything you tied into the google search box is used in some way either by associating it with you in some we were collectively as a part of your community you might actually be a little careful about how to construct a search. you might want to turn off the ability for google to follow you for certain searches and turn it back on when you are doing innocent searches or might not be misconstrued. there are destined clever ways to use google, the tools to give but the problem is the defaults are set and always set for the maximum vacuum information rate puissance google wants you to be all pretty comfortable and not suspicious and therefore willing to give it everything to be used in every way and shared as widely as possible the default is always maximum. it's up to us on fortunately

uses. being able to separate those in making sure we should -- the recipient is the right recipient, getting the right amount as properly prescribed is what this information- sharing agreement works. the way these agreements can or better is our ability to connect data is so much more robust than it was 10 years ago or indeed even three years ago. our ability to unite different types of data bases so we can make the kind of queries necessary to say that we need to know whether this particular program is moving and where. >> do you believe the u.s. shares responsibility with mexico? in the war against crime, given america is the number one provider of guns to cartels? >> i think the issue with mexico is they are close neighbors. they are number two or three trading partner. there are thousands of jobs in the united states that relate to our travel and commerce with mexico. they have been engaged in a valiant battle against cartels. that is particularly in northern mexico. manufactured narcot

then, we use the port's language that they propose to us that the sources of the reimbursements, or the investments, will be finite. we are just clear that there is a finite source those reimbursements will come from. we're not making a hard cap of $85 million, which would be my druthers. we are making some other firms statement about wanting to have those outlined sources as the port has indicated and agreed with. commissioner chu: i would like the port to be able to respond to that amendment. from my point of you about the additional resolution language that pulls up the same language in the dda, that does not seem to be problematic. i want to hear from you. in terms of the issue about the general fund levels, i think i would be interested to hear what you have to say about it. supervisor chiu mention there might be opportunities where we actually want to have a different financing mechanism. can you speak to them? >> i think a couple things. based on the resolution and restating the reimbursements, the finite but it makes sense and i support that. -- bucket makes sense and i support

it was extremely hard for us to walk and maintain our balance. once outside, we were immediately unable to locate the stairs, as we had taken the elevators to get on deck three. there were dim emergency lights indicating the stairs, and we climbed six familiars to our room on deck nine to get to our room without light. somehow we did manage to get to our rooms, holding the guardrails, very much exhausted and panicked. as we were getting to our room, there were constant announcements of the same message. "ladies and gentlemen, everything is under control at this point and it seems to be a generator failure. please stay calm and wait for further instructions and be cooperative." what caught our attention was that all of the announcements were made on behalf of the captain and never once did we hear the captain speak. however, there was a sense of panic in the announcer's voice that kept making the announcement. finally, we did manage to get our door unlocked using our card key after several failed attempts. the room had no light and it was extremel

it's virtually no corporation to us. we started a video competition and this was going to be initially for college students to try to get them to make 30-second spots. will be broadcast in the fall just before the presidential election, it's supposed to be using their creative way of reaching out to their own fellow students. how would you convince them how to -- why would you want to vote? this would be created by the college media centers or wherever they do their work. connecticut public television has volunteered to help them edit their work as needed, so they'll do that on a volunteer basis. we figure when you look at the numbers of how many students i was impressed with the statistics, there were 95 million mill less than yals and about half of them were of voting age, and when you start thinking about the numbers of students that we need to get in the system, it's really imblessive. and so we're hoping that these psas will be about by young people out young people. i brought a sheet about it, we're just launching

to can and cannot use the system. there really is the fcc at this point making those decisions. >supervisor avalos: for our purposes, who are the people, city workers who are considered first responders? >> it is the public safety agencies. we have looked at this and find it for purposes of county, 875 devices as the agencies to sit in the eoc when it is activated in an emergency. there are 19 agencies that currently are called to be part of the eeoc -- eoc when it is activated. that is when we have drawn our line right now in terms of who can and cannot be an fallujah -- user on the system. that does include mta. it does include dpw, i believe and some of the other agencies that you would not think of as a strictly public safety agencies. supervisor avalos: for the purposes of homeland security, what they want to see a more restrictive definition of what the public safety function would be, or more expensive? >> it is hard to speak for homeland security. i can briefly speak for the other early builders of these netwo

trust us. it's fast.fx: friend screams from hyundai. >>> correctional officers and "lockup" camera crews share something in common, they never know moment to moment what they might encounter. but the unexpected events we cover in prison are not always violent. >> inside, close the door. >> sometimes they're just heartbreaking. during our initial scout at indiana state prison, our main goal was to get familiar with the prison prior to beginning formal production. but when we toured the chronic care unit, which houses mentally ill inmates, we walked in on a quiet drama. >> we were there for our scout week, which means we can't even have a sound guy with us. but we knew we had to roll when we came upon this scene. >> we came upon this inmate, michael steele, who was sitting outside his cell with his items all packed up. he was convinced he was going home that day. and it was becoming a problem for the prison, because nobody could dissuade him from this notion. >> i've been in prison since november 3rd, 1988.

of the smart people so much of the office space so much of the computers in the country are being used in unproductive enterprises and unproductive industries and if these industries were allowed to fail people in them would move on to other productive avenues of economic activity and that would be much better for everyone in society right so you end up in britain and in the u.s. with financial dictators and meanwhile the middle east the dictator corporatist like adopt the ben ali and move barack. they've been overthrown more last or in the process of being overthrown are there is this arab spring has been going on so what does this mean for the west of course the dictators in the west who rely on the resources that they were getting from the dictators in the middle east well i think the interesting thing is to see how if you look at a place like egypt right now we're seeing the very lucian's continuing the sort of struggle between the old order the of the remnants of the mubarak regime who are still in power versus the current. the versus the new forces that are being unleashed by the

thank you for sharing your love with us and thank you to the public as joined us today and the plethoraf ports staff here as well. we have a very robust agenda today and just have a few items to talk about in my executive directors report. the first one is to tell you about this great new book called "a negotiated landscape." i am about half way through it and it is quite interesting. to tell you a little bit about the book, it really picks up on the port as we came out of world war two, the global logistics supply chain changed mots to containerization from bulk cargo which the port of san francisco was built for. the army and navy which occupied most of the ports properties left and the rebirth of the waterfront was upon us and it brings us all the way through until my tenure with the port, so it is a look at the factors that have driven development along the waterfront and the creation and import of the waterfront land use plan as a discussion point, but not necessarily a recipe for success or failure. some of the chapters are very well named, but it goes into what is called the abse

>> thank you for being with us. rita moreno. thank you for being with us.nd now some music. >> thank you. >> sanrio famous for the designs for hello kitty. i thought i would try to make it as cute as possible. that way people might want to read the stories. then people might be open to learn about the deities and the culture. ♪ they reached out to make about five or six years ago because of the book published. they appreciated that my work was clearly driven from my research and investigation. after i contributed my artwork, the museum was really beside themselves. they really took to it. the museum reached out to me to see if i would be interested in my own space inside the museum. i tell them that would be a dream come true. it is the classical, beautiful indian mythology through the lens of modern design and illustration and storytelling. they're all of these great sketch as i did for the maharajah exhibition. i get a lot of feedback on my artwork and books. they complement. they say how original the work is. i am the first person to say that this is so

it's not for us to say who can and can't give money it's for us to say if you are a federal politician responsible for the enforcement of the laws of the land that way you do that which should be done with visibility integrity and choice because it is the twenty first century that the way you do that cannot be corrupted by the acceptance of private money any more than the quarterback at us c. can be corrupted when he's playing quarterback at u.s.c. words if it's good enough to throw a kid out of a job as a quarterback it certainly should be good enough to throw somebody out of the senate i want to switch gears just a little bit here because we're running out of time too and so on one hand we see obviously massive corruption within the government because of the fact that they are fueled by money right you're going to represent the interests of those that are going to pay you the most but we see it on other levels too and this is one of the things that i respect specially about what you do on your show is that aside from talking about the banking sector and these greedy bastards is that

using it? to meet you can go to the privacy settings and come up with a privacy let level but when you do that you limit the functionality of a lot of it services. the other thing is to just know if you are aware everything you tied into the google search box is used in some way either by associating it with you in some we were collectively as a part of your community you might actually be a little careful about how to construct a search. you might want to turn off the ability for google to follow you for certain searches and turn it back on when you are doing innocent searches or might not be misconstrued. there are destined clever ways to use google, the tools to give but the problem is the defaults are set and always set for the maximum vacuum information rate puissance google wants you to be all pretty comfortable and not suspicious and therefore willing to give it everything to be used in every way and shared as widely as possible the default is always maximum. it's up to us on fortunately

they would use somebody else's song if all of us stop them from music. then they know and if you stop noise they would do something else in relation was not to mean music but it was. torture. not the throwing of music itself that essentially it's music as part of a means of controlling the environment and the person in charge if they can control someone's environment and taken their free will away from wheat and that's a very powerful weapon. and. on and on. and on. and. anger on the streets of spain where anti all sturdy protest face brutal police response has desecration growth in the euro zone's fourth largest economy with the highest unemployment.

us and them in the us you know it is a conflict and i had the chance to ask a question to the candidate me. thursday and he said you know we are a great country talking about russia and good point you know we are a very great country and we will not be pushed around or affected by what an ambassador does or not so basically he was able to come put it into perspective and mental eyes and i think there's been a lot of historical stuff in the russian media and on this question on the web somebody is very outrageous videos attacking the u.s. ambassador and the problem is when you attack a master mcfall he was approved by the u.s. senate only two months ago by voice vote so go straight back to the senate he worked for three years in the white house and go straight back to the white house so you know we're getting to the point where is the reset mortally wounded. what kind of reception will prime minister putin is likely present what kind of reception he get in chicago in mid may when he goes for the g. eight meeting. allow me to ask you a personal question you as the bureau chief for the v.o

april's a big month for us so look forward to getting messages from us and i hope you can join us. thank you. next on the agenda, i believe, is rob, recent e.o.c. activations? >> certainly. i'm going to touch on the last three or so that we've had because they're in relatively recent memory and work backwards a little bit. first starting with, we did activate a small team for the rock slide earlier and we did that to basically make sure everything gets pulled together in one spot and make sure that everybody's working together. it seems like maybe it doesn't raise up to the level of e.o.c. but this is a key message we've been trying to push, it doesn't have to be a big event in order to have the benefits of the cross departmental, cross-agency coordination. in this case, this is specifically one of those events that really benefits from getting people in the room because oftentimes what happens is if something -- if there's an event, it gets put in the dispatch system, we get pages and updates and what the fire and police part is done, they go back to their stations and go back in
