i am here because to lose something as vital as the st. luke's hospital would be terrible, but to not be able to work and continue in my community, and it is even worse. i have worked with them for the last three years. seeing these ladies get support would be something i would hate us to lose, but i want to continue, and i feel with them providing this vital health care to my community would be a loss, and i applaud you to please botvote to go ahead and pass the eir. thank you. >> next speaker. >> thank you, members of the supervisors -- of the board of supervisors for during this today. -- for hearing us today. i was awarded a as a student. i lived a block away from the pacific ocean. good for me it is the most beautiful place in the world, of the people here deserve the best health care. conc is the second biggest employer. with so many local employers, isn't is making it an ideal site. i support, and i believe strongly the project has been thoroughly studied. i want to be part of the team, including 50% more space, postpartum care. but

allow the government access to it when they were conducting an investigation the government say is a vital tool in catching criminals as they become more technologically advanced but those opposed to it say that it would simply harm innocent people it's our. right that they should be able to throw into our private conversation mr tools to probably judge a few people all. the most of it before we just know most almost if this passes into law is such to make a person the most intrusive surveillance regime in the west many people are calling this an internet war saying that old government m.p.'s causing legislation to do with new connected to still age is a simply making too many mistakes that there's a disconnect here and that these m.p.'s don't understand the need to two worlds and that's having some quite severe consequences but one of the more sinister consequences of this we can see is the case of richard wired a twenty four year old university student he faces up to ten years is in a u.s. prison over allegations of copyright offenses related to his u.k. website t.v. shack dot net now th

it is providing a vital service. do you have any sense as to whether there will be those kinds of discussions when you go to the board of supervisors committee? or do you get the sense that they are content with the status? >> i do not want to speak for the board of supervisors. there are definitely a few members who are concerned about the issue. it came up in may. i think that they appreciated the direction that i got from you to articulate how we would spend those funds, which i did in my transmittal letter, when i sent the budget over at the end of april. one avenue, at this point, through the board of supervisors process, they could add funds back to the board department, reducing the need for our work order. whether or not there was another mechanism is really under serious consideration. >> i would remain open to discussing this more structurally, but it has to include, if the service is one that is vital in this case, we would need to have a broader discussion about where the money would come from. i am antic

>> it's vitally important. the united states navy and the united states air force are the two power projection services of the american armed forces. and it is our services that will enable the army and the marine corps to operate should that be required. i think the key thing here is that there is a proliferation of technology. certainly it is true in the western pacific. it is likewise true in other areas, including the persian gulf. if we did not respond to these developments, we would be pushed further away from our objective areas with all the attendant disadvantages that would entail. so the cooperation between the navy and the air force is simply what one would expect operators to do. that is to maximize each other's capabilities to support one another and projecting power into areas where adversaries want to limit that access or foreclose our opportunities to maneuver within the theater. >> one thing which seems a little bit discordant, the united states air force has long been both the pioneer and advo

rights in these areas and defending against the unreasonable claims of other nations is vital to the economic prosperity of our nation. the telecommunications industry needs the treaty to codify the right to lay and maintain under water cables in the oceans of the world. it also needs them to provide stronger protections for damages by other parties. a wide range need the treat to enable access to new source of mineral resources including rare earth minerals as the deep sea bort flaw. they need the legal certainty and the stability provided by the treaty in order to minimize the investment risks and developing these resources in the extended continental shelf and an area beyond that, the deep sea bed. that's why the treaty's approval is so important to sustain iing and protecting american interest close to our mainland. the treaty is clearly essential. they have a long and proud history of supporting america's national security interest. for example, we play an stramtal role in mobilizing the industrial might to fight and win world wars 1 and 2. i put that in there because we just ce

i'm a forward to continuing to work with you to support this vital segment of the city family. supervisor chiu: our next question, -- supervisor mar: our next question, we had seven e- mails systems when we should have had one, three dozen data centers, and dozens of contracts with multiple centers when we should have master agreements. major i.t. programs have been years behind schedule. best practices and numerous city reports have repeated the need to consolidate spending and management. our cities system is stuck in the 1990's. what can we do to bring this technology into the 20th century? mayor lee: thank you for bringing up this important issue. this is not the first time, and i am not -- and i'm sure that bill not be the last. i would like to see these projects moving forward more quickly than they have. as i announced at the last meeting that we both attended, i will be holding individual project managers accountable to making sure that their time lines are met. let me state my priorities clearly. i want to hold accountable those who are to move these projects forward.

asks for documentation that we just can't produce because of the destroyed courthouses that had our vital statistics, because of a state that went through and sought to destroy all vital statistics that referred to us as indian people. even when the indian reorganization act was put in play as it was called, the -- the head of the bureau of vital statistics said there's no indians in virginia. despite that, government officials came to virginia. they interviewed people. they photographed places and things, and they said these folks are indians, even at that. the bureaucracy that had been created in the state precluded us from being part of that, so -- so as you look at those seven criteria that have kind of become iron-clad, we don't fit into it, and that's why i say one size doesn't fit all. our situation is essentially like the one described by ann tucker, the chairwoman of the muskogee nation. we're fighting that behemoth that just doesn't want to move because of those situations that we find ourselves in. >> you certainly are owed an apology as miss tucker is when we talk about laws w

man: infrastructure is vital to the american economy. water, after all, is an essential ingredient in hundreds of thousands of everyday products. narrator: agriculture and industry use roughly 80% of the water consumed in the united states. water is the basis for manufacturing many goods and provides the ability to clean and sterilize everything from computer chips to the surgical instruments used in hospitals. kelly: the minute that there's not enough water for businesses, industry, and individuals, they have to go elsewhere. and when they go elsewhere, jobs go elsewhere. your entire economy begins to suffer with the lack of clean water. narrator: while the water infrastructure provides for our health, safety, and economy, a growing concern is that the value society derives from water has not traditionally been reflected in the price we pay for water. man: when you take a look at how much people pay for water, as a percentage of median household income, it's usually less than 1%. and when you compare that to how much we pay for electric

the top of which today is equally vital. the reason being what had just happened is in my lifetime unprecedented. and i mean, we all have seen leaks. i've been around government for the better part of 30 years. if you see government, you see leaks. everyone understands this. and by the way, it's equally bipartisan, and occurs at every level, every administration. no one is exempt. and so if you try to amend the espionage act, you got to be very, very careful. but i very much associate myself with the idea of being extremely reluctant to mess with a law because you know what, i think what you must do first is look back at the original consensus going back all the way to philadelphia. between freedom and responsibility, between particularly the obligation of those who are being defended to make sure those secrets are intact. what really concerns me today is the fact that we've seen, as i said, something i never thought i would ever see in my lifetime. when the articles began to appear, when his book appeared, i never thought i

this is a vital election. would you agree to that? vital. >> i think it's probably the most important election of my lifetime so far. >> so president bush is -- let's say he is a prestigious republican. he's prestigious. i don't think he's got the credibility to go and really campaign like clinton does. clinton's much more popular than bush the younger, but he's prestigious and in certain fund raising opportunities, he could help mitt romney big time and so could his father. he's going to sit it out? >> well, president bush 41 is not going to go to the convention. >> right. >> that is to be expected. >> he's ill. >> and understood. >> right. >> 43 never sought the klieg lights. >> does he love his country enough to go against what he wants and help mitt romney? >> i think what president bush is trying to do through his institute and through his actions is to do things like go to that trip to africa which was both personal but also good for the country. >> where he got yelled at by the guy in zimbabwe? that didn't work out well. >> it

to continue to attract business to send francisco, our priorities are to invest in vital projects. the central subway and a new community benefit district to improve safety and commerce downtown, and we need to update its long-range economic development plan. the chamber will support initiatives to reform campaign finance and make voting. we have also joined statewide efforts to bring performance based budgeting and greater transparency to state and local government. sustained transparency depends on investments we make in the future. joining forces to create a city that can withstand a natural disaster and prosper afterwards. government efficiency, and investing in our cities assets. now is the time to plan for the future. in the months ahead we look forward to working with the entire board of supervisors and business leaders across the city to develop more fair and equitable business taxation, which will make it possible for all companies not just to survive but to thrive, and in summary the 2012 agenda will focus on advancing these priorities, putting job creation first, encoura

it's about so you can have vibrance and vitality. you know, i had to get rid of the deprivation mind-set "you know, i'm just going to be eating celery and carrots." i happen to like celery and carrots, but it's like this is so much better. you know, i had a vegetable soup last night that was just incredible. or there's a bison meat loaf that will just knock your socks off. there are so many-- or goji berry truffles. i mean, it's like, "you're kidding." i can eat better than before. and when you get rid of all the bad things in your diet, your taste buds now become alive, and your cravings don't taunt you anymore. my cravings used to taunt me as i'd walk by the refrigerator. >> right. >> so from food to exercise to better memory to looking better in your clothes--i'm totally vain. you know, i like the fact that i look better, that i'm the same weit as was when i'm 18, and i have the same muscle mass. i like that, but what i'm doing, i'm really not exercising for my butt. i'm exercising for my brain, because with a better brain, i can

but several vital connections are still missing. so now cambodia's modest railway line is getting a second lease of life. by 2013 the country wants to reconnect to its neighbor thailand. it's a huge investment in the future. in a country where these days the choice is between tuc tuc and four wheel drive, the return of the railways would be a real alternative. and it would help cut co2 emissions. >> it may not yet look like it yet, but this spot will soon be home to a trans-asian railway. for now, the so-called bamboo train is running. an improvised vehicle made of steel and bamboo, powered by small motors. villagers use them as taxis or to transport goods. these tracks use to connect cambodia with neighboring thailand, all the way to bangkok. now, the tracks end here, 50 kilometers before the thai border. no one knows what happened to the tracks. they vanished during the wars of the 1960s and 70s. at the border crossing poipet, large trucks carry goods between thailand, cambodia and vietnam on congested roads. that's supposed to ch
