and so that makes it hard to interpret us because americans aren't used to being the bad guys. one of the things that's powerful is objects like this that convey the sort of strong anti-black sentiment. this is a ku klux klan banner from the 1920s. the four "ks" would be the knights of the ku klux klan. and as you know, the klan really began right after the civil war. it sort of goes underground. and then it sort of bursts new as a result of the film "the birth of a nation," and the klan becomes not a southern phenomena but a national phenomena in the '20s and '30s. and this kind of banner is the kind of thing that people would sort of use to celebrate their investment and their participation in the ku klux klan. so these are the kind of things that we have to make sure we tell the painful stories as well. and then i think that one of the things that is realteresting to recognize that so much of what shapes a community is work. and so we wanted to make sure that we found things that would give people an understanding of the way black america worked. and one of the most importan

this piece of equipment was crucial to ali's career and for us to have this allows us to interpret muhammad ali from many lenses. this piece is from the fifth street jam in miami where ali trained early in his career. one of the things that is so important is to realize how much goes behind the scenes in making a museum work. and in this case, because in essence we had to start from scratch, not only did we have to build the collection, find all of this material, but then build a system to protect it. build the systems to track it and build the systems to allow us to exhibit it. so it really is this long complicated process that takes many years to complete. what happens when you are trying to build a museum is the notion of getting these collections, so one of the challenges is the variety of where you should do this. early in my career it was pretty easy that people sort of felt the desire to give to the smithsonian, but then as times changed these things became a commodity, you have planet hollywood and hard rock cafe. suddenly people began to see these as a way to make money so. what we

that leads us to technology. technology is important because it helps us to be able to do things more efficiently and effectively. most san franciscans like and have technology. we are bringing technology to where people are. most people have cell phones come smartphones. we are adopting our systems to work with what people have in their day-to-day lives. i am joined by a great group of people behind me. they will talk about an exciting initiative we are launching today that will be one of the most significant things to hit parking in san francisco in generations. i am honored to have a man for whom this technology is not very important. that is our majoyor ed lee. the reason it is not important is because someone else has to worry about parking, it is because of something i learned about him a couple of months ago. it did not come out in the campaign or media. it turns out that ed lee has parking karma. he does not need it. but for the rest of us who do not have parking karma, we're here to talk about something

mayor lee will be joining us later. with the invocations, we would like to invite pastor stacey kerns. >> good amp. let us pause for a moment to invite the presence of god. shall we pray together? god, our help in ages past, our hope in years to come, we invite your holy presence to bless this celebration of african-american history month. we give up thanks and praise for the legacy, the creativity, the genius and contributions of african-american people everywhere. we pray that you would strengthen this organization and strengthen all organizations that support telling the story of black history. and so today we ask that as we continue on the journey. that we might be able to do justice, love kindness, and walk hummably -- humbly with our god. may you bless this time together and all god's children say amen, amen, amen. >> and now if you would stand for "lift every voice and sing," sung by leah suites. >> ok. everyone can join in with me. ♪ lift every voice and sing ♪ tell up in heaven rings ♪ rings with a harmony of l

if catches us and throws us back. we'll go back together the four of us. we have to look for other ways to earn money we have to work outside the area we live to find a bit of money. in mexico we get paid one hundred pesos per day for nine months that's about seven us dollars but now one hundred pesos a day isn't enough food costs about fifty pesos over there for example what we just did here cost fifty pesos before tax we are in a day is only enough to eat twice a day and then the money is gone down where i live the father the son and go for one two or three years to work make a little money buy stuff for. us to build a house in our hometown. sugar see a small house where we can live. here those are the ones that think there is a use their heads. from among those that don't use their heads come back the same. without any money. and. water bottles. so it's good. mexican id. then we both know and i religious when you know not only what they do if they're going to lose these id cards they mail to a picture because if i when i give this to the border patrol y

i am hoping that you support us and allow us to do that. we will continue to come back to you. each time there is a budget issue before us, and the purchasing equipment -- it will come back to the board. we are not asking for carte blanche here. you will see us many times over the next three, four years on this particular project. supervisor chu: thank you. why don't we open up for public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to comment on this item? >> chief technology officer with the department of technology. i just wanted to make a brief comment about our role in terms of scoiurt. this describes the level of river that dt will have in this effort. ddt possesses a lot of the infrastructure technology, knowledge about many of these sites. we will be leveraging that. also, collaborating with motorola in some of the design and back and efforts. supervisor chu: next speaker please. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is douglas yepp. as a concept, i am in support of this resolution. with the disclosure of no funding source, at least in my opinion, it is like

next. >> after noon, a land-use double-good afternoon, land-use supervisors. ♪ public art and a trusto free and what ever happened why did you keep it free? so many things we would have done but budget clouds but in our way i have looked at districts from all sides now win and lose it is a city illusion i really do not know yet all city hall and now it is just another land use day and you'll say and help us and you'll pay so many things you would have done but the city clouds got in our way i have looked at all districts from all sides now win and lose and still try somehow it is what a city i recall i really do not know you at all its city hall ♪ supervisor mar: thank you, mr. paulson. anyone else from the public that would like to speak? seeing them, public comment is closed. you're asking for a three-week continuance. i believe that presidents' day is february 20, so there is no land use meeting. it would be the following meeting, which is february 27. can we take the amendments without objection, colleagues? thank you. without objection, we will continue this until the meeting of

unfortunately he wasn't able to join us today because he is still in a land use meeting at the moment do want to recognize him because he would love to be here. today, it's my honor to be able to announce the community impact award. the primary reason why we do have this award is really to recognize the community organizations and the impact they make in our community. especially where the differences that they make in the media really have a profound and lasting impact on how our communities are perceived and how we go forward. and so today, again, it is my honor to recognize these folks. but before we do, the people who -- or the organizations who are finalists in this category include hyphen, round of applause. [applause] kqed. [applause] and new american media. [applause] apparently, tonight is hyphen's night. so congratulations to hyphen.

stand with us. and together, we will build a prosperity in this country where americans are not just working for the economy, but the economy is working for americans. [applause] a prosperity where we will reduce the poverty of millions rather than reduce the taxes of millionaires. a prosperity where we create jobs here at home and where we shut down every loophole, and every incentive, every reward that goes to some benedict arnold see zero or company that takes jobs overseas and six americans with the bill. [applause] stand with us and together, we will give america the fundamental decency of health- care that is affordable and accessible and a right and not a privilege, that's available to all americans and we will make the same plan available to all americans that is available to senators and congressman because your health care -- [applause] stand with us and we will fight for an america where medicare is protected and health-care costs are kept down and where your family's health care is just

is it worth it for us. and perhaps these other candidates running you know just as his line is drawn do i know you think overall vision for america. wolf well you know i've got yes to the rest of us to see a little over the top god bless america but. we've seen better days but of course the president is going to say and if you. cross so. we spend less on worry about it. and more time worrying about how you actually fix the economy how do you work with the base so that you serve the middle class so that you can win the election based on the merits but do you think is that really just an obama thing or is that something that you could say maybe is a cultural difference that we have a little bit of a hard time just saying that times are rough the road ahead is going to be tough there are going to be sacrifices that need to be made it's like we always need to be built up and told every you know told that everything's going to be happy and joyful and perfect again some day without knowing that there's going to b

i do not think any of us have analog phones anymore, but that is what our first responders are using. this is a priority at the federal level. president obama made this a priority and even spoke about it in his speech last night. there was funding that happened through the rf funding two years ago. ntia put out a grant, and those grants were -- around the country, the bay area region bought one of those grants. and motorola is to apply for the grant. they received $50 million to build out this system in the bay area region. motorola has since worked with us and come forward and said they would put forward a $23 million matched to that grant. in addition to that, they will put forward a $21 million match him to do site remediation on at the sites that we need to put up the antennas. we're basically talking about $100 million that is coming into the region that is free for us that is going to build out this system that will be state of the art. there are very strict deadlines that we need to adhered to, because the ntia grant, by this coming summer, 2012, we need to be two-thirds substa

the sharp war tactics finding a use at home i spy drone up and used in washington's multiple military operations abroad are now keeping a close eye on american citizens to. and is jamz the gun any minute any al calls in europe in barga running oil fast without waiting for a weak minded one supplier. the battle over scotland sovereignty is heating up in the u.k. with the scots being told they may hold an independence referendum only if the one that gives its blessing it comes as a fearful british government ramps up ridicule have a rhetoric against the independence bit but as r.t. as laura smith reports london's grandstanding is ruffling more than just feathers among the scots. the in britain a three hundred year old union that once ruled the waves and toss the known world but on home soil the country is closer than ever to a messy divorce. this is the man who want scotland to go it alone nationalist party leader alex salmond's promising scots will get a say on being single but london wants to call the shots and get it done and dusted . they don't want to talk about the substance i som

the problem is that the track record of the us and all governments. is such that given the power to do one thing is almost always interpreted by themselves as a means of giving them power. so in the way that you know this that this raid on megaupload cards in this opens it shows that even without sopa already in place they are already arresting and resting the owners of megaupload and shutting it down so imagine when so close. in the meantime my group project. operation donkey punch which latest efforts. to ensure that soap is in that those who support so are routed in the time of day and otherwise to make sure these things don't happen in the future of the very near future as you'll see there will be a number of other groups that will pop up using more military not goods situation gets worse human beings will ask themselves that's one of the notable civil war in the us the kurds your opinion matters to us so we're asking at r g dot com whether hackers and users should protect the internet from the u.s. led anti-piracy legislation but take a look at t

it is cheaper for us if we use that to repay the debt. that is primarily why the clp vehicle is preferred. >> on the city contribution, what is the deliberation there, in terms of financing? >> deliberation is whether the city wants an ongoing obligation related to the $6.5 million contribution, or would prefer to use cash as the city's contribution. it is really a matter of this committee whether they want to take on an ongoing obligation. the controller is in devising the mayor's office on expert -- preferred path. we will have a vehicle, because we are doing a clp, we are putting a vehicle in place for that decision if it was that. >> if it were not cash, could that be recommended again? >> yes, we would combine the 16.5 and 2.5 for a new issuance. part of which the harbor from would repay, part of which the city would repay. supervisor chu: related to the financing, i know some time ago, we had always seen this number, 6.5. it is not a new number. we always have questions about how we would eventually do this, how the number would cha

that we can put to it and fiber that it gives us and food that it gives us. and important and worth literally hundreds of billions of dollars, the part that we also have to be able to communicate is the more spiritual sense of how important it is that we get to live side by side with all of these forms that have three billion years of history behind them and how tragic it would be not commercially and not in a utilitarian way but an emotio l emotional, psychological, spiritual way if we watch them one by one disappear. >> this is sort of a merger between art and science and advocacy in a funny way getting people to wake unand realize what is going on -- wake up and realize what is going on. so it is a memborial trying to get us to interpret history and look to the past. they have always been about lacking at the past so we proceed forward and maybe don't commit the same mistakes.

rates, which went require us to do -- which would require us to do an additional study. we are going to look at it to see if we can raise the rates. if there are any questions, i would be happy to answer them. essentially, we are requesting the board adopt the report that there are no findings, positive or negative, strictly a report of moneys collected, money is spent, and what we have in the bank. i would be happy to answer questions. >> was this one of the special items you want to speak on, mr. kelly? i have no public speakers. comments from the board? vice president yee: i have a question on the rate we are collecting. what is it and what are you thinking about in terms of a potential increase? >> first of all, we do not set the maximum increase. the state actually sets what the maximum amount would indeed. we need to do an impact study, which would demonstrate the growth of housing units in san francisco from summer between what we charge now and the maximum that is set. if there and in -- if there is an increase, it would fall between that range. i cannot recall w

to go over the measure and use that vigilance so they can stop scaring us in our community. they were treating us like criminals. i feel like criminals are here, the people who are not managing the budget well. i'm grateful for the opportunity to be at this hearing because i was able to open my eyes. i want to encourage you all to look over this budget. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you. muchas gracias. next speaker. >> good morning, supervisors. supervisor campos: if you could speak into the microphone so we can hear you. there you go. >> i was part of the campaign -- we were part of the campaign working on getting free fast passes for youth. for us, public transportation is about the environment, equality, and [inaudible] we support the leadership of muni to ensure that resources are being used appropriately and we ask that the leadership of muni be mindful of unintended consequences that service cuts might have or will have. the first being the loss of employment due to people not being able to get to work in a timely fashion. if that happens due to service cuts, it

they are using facebook. we had a conversation about this taking place in new york city, where police officers were expressing their opinions on facebook and twitter, and you advise me that the police department is getting together something for the commission to see regarding regulating that, and i even suggested that the union should be involved because they have first amendment rights, but giving up information that could cause safety concerns -- we want the commission to know that this is a work in progress and something that is changing with the times. >> yes, we have put out a department bulletin, and we are working on a drafted general order that we would present for you to adopt going forward on social media. >> i am glad to see you have this work. for those of you who do not knows, these are assigned to the station. the chief has made great efforts to make sure that the level of professionalism is increased, that there is more oversight, and that we can avoid some of the situations we are starting to

thank you for your cooperation. q were working with us on day one to embrace the idea that we could use infrastructure to enliven our streets. i see a lot of smiling faces. you want to see santa come here, too. you are not displaced. this is your home. you what this street to reflect the duty of all of san francisco. thank you for working closely with everybody, thank you for your patience, thank you for welcoming us in to share in this new street. [applause] >> thank you, mr. mayor. supervisor malia cohen is a staunch advocate for her residence, as well as the residents of district 10. we thank her for her leadership on this project and we are pleased to partner along with her and the residents. >> thank you, good morning, everyone. seven months ago, many of us were standing here doing a groundbreaking ceremony. here we are making sure that our walk and talk were in line with each other. i told you that this was the beginning of a rebirth for a new neighborhood. here we are along an infamous street. those of us that know this area knows that there had been good and bad activity. here w

they are unpaid interns helping us out and volunteering their efforts for us. they are all working 18 hours per week on a number of projects. and let me travel off their names. you can stand if you are. andrew, casey, david campo, roman lopez and tiffany lerue are with the department right now. and [applause] several of them are working on land use surveys or of doing the information, which is very valuable to us, and something that can only be done on the ground. some of them are working on improvements to the public information website, researching the vacation rental website, and others are working on mapping are not useful -- national register historical district. most of them will be with us for three months, and we're very grateful for that. >> where are they from? >> they are from all over the place. i'm sorry, i do not have the information with me. i wanted to give you a heads-up about a noticing issue that will affect next week's hearing. there are two projects that you will not be able to hear for reasons that are not clear to us, the san francisco ex

the customers we served c one bill from us, and this is the chart you require us to provide in each time you deliberate on the budget. this is on the total combined impact. i would like to draw your eyes to the combined circles, and you can see that if you look at the waste water bill, by the time the retail customers would run off the five-year rate plans, this is looking at 11.5-11.10% rate increases. and then going into the lower, single-digits. >> i asked him to keep it to 10 minutes. this was an experiment to see how we could compress this. what i am trying to do is preserve as much time for the commission to provide input as possible. if you can conclude as quickly as you can. >> we had a lot of deliberations on the power -- with the joint meeting, so you know about the need to increase rates there, in particular. it always seems to come back to rates and affordability. what we have done here, is put together all of the sections of the charter requiring us to look at the rates, and put this into a

we use the other modes to reduce the amount of troops people need and want to use their own cars for. related to that is to make parking work, to continue optimizing parking to manage the demand so it works for transit. that is the transit first goal. improving the city goal, we see a larger role we can play in the city in terms of its environmental performance, which is really the first objective, the direct impact on the economy, which is the second objective, the use of resources. we want to be a well-run organization as part of the city family and fabric. we want to be able to deliver our services efficiently, because transportation is so important in san francisco. it directly impact the quality of life here. finally, i made reference to the revenue or budget panel earlier, to reduce our capital and operating structural deficits. if we do not address them, we will not be able to achieve much. finally, the fourth goal is really the inward-looking girl. we need to strengthen and support -- strengthen the agency and support the employees to make any of this happened. we have an obje

however, and a minimum number of parking spaces is required economically for us, and also for us to deliver the mission. the original draft of today's proposed legislation would have caused non-accessory parking lots in c2 districts to become non-conforming uses that would need to be eliminated within five years and 90 days. this would really have been untenable for the explorator ium. we brought this to the attention of president chiu and planning staff and we are assured by his commitment to find a resolution, which we appreciate. we believe the recently- submitted staff report provides language we can support. our understanding of the staff proposal is it requires additional use permits for new parking lots, but it site section 178 a-2 of the existing planning code as allowing existing wats -- and keep looking in your direction -- to continue as permitted uses. under this analysis, existing lots are not non-conforming and can continue in existence without triggering a conditional use permit. we respectfully request the planning commission support for a key staff recommendation. thank you

nonconforming use. the applicant makes a credible argument that since they have no existing cap on the number of events that they could continue as such. they are a venue that allows these uses and it could continue. that said, we feel it is appropriate to have some limits here. i feel that number of events is at the discretion of this commission and we want to provide some guidance to the commission. we evaluated the historical use data given to us and we can go into greater detail about the methodology used, but he worked diligently to verify the information. we came to the average number of events, and that was 54 average entertainment events. there are other events that are not entertainment events. we had to parse through the affirmation to determine which were entertainment and which were not. we used the definitions available at the various units will code to arrive at those conclusions. we came to an average number of 54 and we felt given the was a fluctuation -- year to year, this changes -- so

one or using status quo. tools to fix a problem in this piracy on the internet but isn't it because the internet is uniquely different than other types of piracy that we should have a unique answer and that in the legislation is going through congress is really kind of backward looking and not forward looking could we get something that's more innovative that works with companies instead of something that is so it seems to me that. using a sledgehammer when we should be using a very fine surgical instrument to solve this problem. for you do you do me a multi-pronged approach to tackling this this issue is not going to be solved by industry alone it's not only sold by government alone one thing that you can do is go after the economics of piracy you have to look and see how these sites are being run and where they're making their money and how they're drawing an audience so the way to cut that off is to cut off their sources of funding go after the networks go after the payment processor stop linking to the si

the money used to fund our wars could be used to fund whole wishin instead and cindy free said remove all interest and fees on every student loan back to the original amount then kept the interest and fees for life with a look now everyone seems to agree someone radical needs to do something to ease the pressure on college students and graduates in an already bad economy let's just hope lawmakers are ready and willing to listen. now as always we appreciate your responses and here's. next question for you earlier in the show we spoke to colonel lawrence wilkerson about the g.o.p. presidential candidates and their views on cuba with the lone exception of ron paul they are all in favor of maintaining sanctions and travel restrictions on the country so what do you think at the time we lift sanctions on cuba and so on facebook twitter and you tube you know as a response just might make you know me. well yesterday the supreme court weighed in on the latest fourth amendment case to come before that and one of the most important also see back in november the justices agreed to hear a case inv

officer into air force officers all of us say the same things and none of us know each other and that is these measures don't work they're un-american they're actually illegal and they're they have nothing to do with what we should be doing as professionals or as a society like a lot of family people if they don't work why is it fatuous widespread practice i mean i can only assume that there's so much more than than i could possibly know about but this is widely used. where there are deep psychological reasons why people will try to impose their will in a lot of it comes down to subconscious frankly. efforts to dominate an established control the a lot of the measures are designed to humiliate and put the person in his subordinate position it's a power trip frankly it's not dissimilar to the motivations for many people in of many people in rape rape is not an act of love rake rape is an act of power projection and domination and humiliation and in almost all instances and certainly enhanced interrogation accomplishes that it does not accomplish what it's supposed to do which is obtain

>> thank you for being with us. rita moreno. thank you for being with us.nd now some music. >> thank you. [music] paratransit is specialized transportation for seniors and people with disabilities who are unable to use the muni system. in san francisco, we're proud that we've had a paratransit program since 1978 long before it was mandated by the americans with disabilities act in 1990. san francisco is a unique city and our paratransit program reflects this. we have a network of services, including sf access van service, paratransit taxi, including wheelchair accessible ramp taxi and group van which serves groups of individuals going to a single location like a senior center.

some of the most complex instruments used in particle physics research now most of us are familiar with adams but here they're working on an extremely important. piece of equipment and. the technology behind this beast was pioneered back in the one nine hundred sixty s. by the man whose name. given the growing power range that modern particle accelerators are capable of needs to be to increase its effect. on the first. but this. two million electron bowled cooler is headed for the ula tree search center in germany the facility is part of a european union sponsored effort to better understand the fundamental hadrons most specifically the electron coolant will be installed at the centers institute of nuclear physics cosey synchrotron there a sprawling complex elementary particles will be accelerated looked around the synchrotron and smashed together for scientists to study and those efforts will be helped by the addition of notice of beer cooler. what we get. we get. we. mentioned. so once the final touches have been applied. to hopefully groundbreaking experiments the collaboration here

please help us spread the word.he message is loud and clear that no one should be the victim of crime at this time of year or through the year. and if something happens, then there are resources available. no one should feel isolated. i would like to mention also that we're celebrating the new year, but we're also celebrating the beautiful partnership, the partnership between the asian community and the city department and the nonprofits and the volunteers and everyone who is helping us with this event. it took years to build this relationship, and this relationship is still evolving. i would like to ask you to join us in celebrating the new year in celebrating this beautiful relationship and partnership, and it is time to hit the road. time to this -- to distribute the crime-prevention information. again, happy new year.

findings that the use of automobile l.o.s. might be in contradiction to our priorities. they recommended a eliminating its. the city put together a committee comprised of the agencies i have described. there was a study to determine the projected development of the transportation network as a whole. staff also worked with the state resources agency to modify ceqa guidelines to move away from automobile l.o.s. in 2010, which underwent an extensive process of considering a variety of different capital improvements and what their impact would be on the transportation network as a whole. this is assuming there is a certain amount of development over the next 20 years, based on that development activity, and modeling the performance of the network had once we have included the capital improvements in the system. also working through the next study process, there is a fee and expenditure package under these improvements and we are currently working on drafting an ordinance that would enable the changes we are describing. so coming b

the customers we served c one bill from us, and this is the chart you require us to provide in each time you deliberate on the budget. this is on the total combined impact. i would like to draw your eyes to the combined circles, and you can see that if you look at the waste water bill, by the time the retail customers would run off the five-year rate plans, this is looking at 11.5-11.10% rate increases. and then

to use them. most public spaces in san francisco, while freely available to the diversity of the community, they have roles. we have a very extensive parts code governing the parts system. none of these roles have undermined the freedom of the enjoyed community. rather, these rules make sure that these spaces are usable by everyone. through a quirk in the law, the jane warner and harvey milk plaza is not covered by any of the rules typically applied to public spaces. recently san francisco has added a significant number of public spaces, with jane mourner being the first such space. we have turned parking spots. it has been expanding and i know it will continue to expand in the future. now is the time to make sure that these new spaces, which are not parks or sidewalks, have basic rules in place to make sure they are expendable by everyone. this legislation is basic and limited. contrary to the claims that have been made, the legislation is not even close to draconian and it does not even remotely

to reach the kids that need us most. while there are kids the certainly made us in the haight, it is not a sizable population. there are more substantial me there in the count -- and the community that we are reaching. you know this, and other members of the budget committee know, we have been in this process going back to 2005, 2006. our club at page street is falling down around us. it was built in 1952. something needs to be done. it is not up to the standards of what boys and girls clubs operates. we set out to find a location that best serves that population of the lower haight, hayes valley, western addition. we have looked at private sites, public sites. we have a conversations about the muni substation. we looked at the sacred heart church. that came with a bunch of complications. we looked at a property on peers and golden gate. all these properties fell through for a number of reasons, and we have a couple of people here who will speak about some of the limitations about where you cannot just take a boys and gi

i would just like us to take a look at that as well. like there is a stored value card that is great. you can order them at no charge of mine. we tried to make easy for a lot of options. >> but again, this does not work at a credit-card reader. >> by are supposed to work with all meters. if you find one that does not, please call 311. that helps us to go in and fix them. >> thank you. >> go ahead. >> i guess i have some familiarity with the dog patch area. it has a few businesses and is mostly along the 21st or 22nd. >> just for your benefit, like i said, as much as possible we like to coordinate with mta parking strategists to have consistent regulations and hours of operations and what not. the port commission does not have jurisdiction over the streets, a jurisdiction within the central waterfront on port st. being very inconsistent. in general, illinois street between mayor oppose and 20th -- mayor oppose the -- mary oppose the -- mayor mariposa is the southernmost street. pier 70. we have illinois street. 20th street east of illino

if you read this resolution, we have binding land-use controls. some of them are the planning code, some of them are for redevelopment plans. and a lot of areas, some of these documents are very dated, but we do have a set of legislative land use controls for this purpose. it should be like the rest of the city, which would be the rule under which development takes place. if you want to change them, they have to be changed through legislative process. the one provision that really concerns me about this because this is really unprecedented. we are going into completely uncharted waters with this. on page 21, it says that the oversight board is authorized to approve changes to enforceable changes including changes to the land use controls and a financing plan. we have seen this oversight board which can make legislative changes to any redevelopment plan, to any design for development control in these three neighborhoods of the city. there is no appeal process for these legislative changes. so you as representatives are giving land-use control to an

and just upon us. and i am very, very supportive and you've mentioned, you know, tidbits to us as we've crossed paths. i mean, pretty much i feel like the only -- besides coming and attending, you haven't asked for us to do anything to assist you and at a minimum, you know, i want to show my support by asking if you'd allow us and i'm speaking for myself and other commissioners, to join you on your resolution, in support of your efforts. and so other folks who even look at this resolution understand that the board is behind your endeavors. and i'd be honored to join you. but also, you know, am opening the phoneline for you to call and say, you know, if you need any assistance in whatever way i can be of assistance to you, my line is open and waiting for a message. ye i appreciate your effort -- president yee: i appreciate your effort. are you asking to be a name on the resolution? thank you -- commissioner maufas: and something else, too. can you ask for something else. maybe not publicly -- you can as

i used to play when i was a kid i used to play softball and i can hit a golf ball pretty good so anything to do with the hands. so i was bang her pretty good but she deserve it. she deserved every roll i put on her. >> jon: i don't think anyone would think she didn't deserve your throwing. but she doesn't realize-- now, you are in stature obviously a legend in the business but physically, a smaller individual. latifah is, if i may, also a legend in the industry but a larger. was there ever-- was there physical fighting. >> yes. she gets me in a choke hold and i'm this tiny little thing down here. i call it biggie small from that word. >> jon: nice reference. >> but anyway we do at the end when they sum up this whole thing, she really has me in a choke hold. she's got me, she could have hurt me bad if she had wanted to. but she didn't. she's great. she is big, 5, 9, 5, 10. and i'm-- 5, 1, 5, 2. >> jon: to me that is big. i look at that and think oh god f only. >> but she's great, i love her, her heart is fun. >> jon: you had fun. >> we had a great time and the music is spectacular t is a w

you do in helping us do our jobs. thank you so much. >> i'm matt schultz, secretary of state of iowa, and i'd like to thank secretary richie for being a great partner and working on this economy. i have the pleasure of introducing our next speaker, miss heather smith, who is the current president of rock of vote, a national organization dedicated to political engagement of young people. under heather's direction and leadership during the past two election cycles, rock the vote built new tools for engagement of young voters setting the highest voter registration record in midterm and presidential elections in the organization's 20-year history. prior to 20-year history. prior to rock the vote, ms. smith founded and directed young voters strategies, a nonpartisan project and partnership with the graduate school of political management at the george washington university. in 2004 she served as national field director for the student prgs, new voters project, the largest nonpartisan grass roots effort ever undertaken to r

expect us. >> and our correspondent, amber lyon, now joins us here in studio. a little frightening. >> yeah, a little bit. >> especially for law enforcement, in many aspects. >> i've got to ask you, what if they get it wrong? what if they put up some personal information that is inaccurate. do they have any accountability? >> there's very little accountability. because of the way anonymous is organized, anyone can claim to be "anonymous." there's also a lot of extreme outliers, and law enforcement is intimidated by anonymous. we tried to get an interview with anyone, federally or locally, and they refused to send an officer forward, kind of to the chopping block, because they feared if this officer became on camera, they could become a target of anonymous. >> amber, thank you so much. >>> coming up, is it possible that schools could be making your child sick? my investigation reveals there's a hidden problem all around the country and it's one that kids can't avoid. you know when i grow up, i'm going to own my own restaurant. i want to be a volunteer firefighte

was using recalls cheating?'s so widespread, it feels less like it's cheating. >> reporter: how it works is simple and a longstanding practice. residents take the american board of radiology's certification test and immediately upon finishing write down a portion of the test they are responsible to recall. >> people are assigned beforehand what portion do i focus on to recall the questions and answers. and immediately after the test, people put to the to put these down on paper or word processor to be able to share it with the classes coming behind you. >> reporter: dr. john yoo says residency programs even share their recalls, helping each other build as close to a copied test as possible. yoo says it's not exactly cheating, especially when passing the test, getting certified could mean the difference between getting a job and being unemployed. >> it's sort of out of necessity to pass these examinations that you have to rely on the recalls. >> reporter: yoo, lozano and dr. joseph dieber all say residents have u

using ultralight aircraft.gress will be voting on that and steny hoyer said he would not be surprised if there was unanimous support of this piece of legislation. that will happen, a legislative achievement as she heads off. and following that there will be a rare moment of bipartisanship where there will be a list of very high-profile members of congress, of the house, coming forward to speak, honoring her service. we'll be hearing from the democratic leader, nancy pelosi, the majority leader, eric cantor, steny hoyer, and congresswoman debbie wasserman shaw shultz, she will be reading the resignation letter on the house floor, and then that letter will be -- that resignation will be effective at the end of the day, so it will be quite a moment to watch this morning. that on top of this very -- that heart-stopping moment where there is barely a dry eye last night when giffords took to the house floor for the state of the union address, kyra. >> we will definitely dip in live, kate. thanks so much. >> reporter:

that is a huge challenge facing us. i counted 21 different points he made, it was not until 17 that he talked about the deficit, and not at any length. there'd, he did not make a connection between alan necessity for creating jobs -- the necessity for quitting jobs with the negative impact on the private economy. i like this president. he is a nice guy. it is his policies i find difficult to match to the reality. >> two questions. did you hear anything that would represent or help your high-tech industry? >> he did make a reference that we have to do something about students that come from other countries who get their degrees in engineering and then under our immigration laws go somewhere else. that only got a mild response. it is a very important thing that i worked on for years. one other thing that is important, he mentioned it, his effort on a bipartisan basis to try and do something about the size of a security -- cyber- security threats on our country. this administration is moving forward with that. he mentioned
