then the entire city, given the supply of createive talent, the whole city could be a revolving work of art. that would be wonderful. that is what black rock city is. why not transpose that to san francisco? i think the city is now looking at doing art paths for that purpose. it would not be hard, given the abundance of -- after so many years in the desert, there is a huge backlog of brilliant art. magnificent piece is done by armies of artists working together. so that is an obvious things that could be instituted. i also pulled him that we did not have any trash cans in our city. we did not really continue that dialogue. [laughter] >> the question that everyone in san francisco is asking now, i'm going to ask you as a formality. are you going this year? have you ever missed one? have you ever wanted to? >> no. [laughter] at one time, i was very much needed -- i am still needed, from time to time. although, if i and my partners have done our job, we should not be needed that much. i am like anyone else out there. it is a big place. it is hyperactive. not only are there 100 things, bu

[cheers and applause] and larry on behalf of a grateful city to the whole team we present you the city to the city for the whole organization involved. congratulations on a wonderful, wch championship for all of san francisco, the best fans in the world. [cheers and applause] now larry there's something else that you got to know. i'm going to clean up. when a world series champion sweeps the opponents they deserve something special, so as the former public works director i know a little bit about sweeping and we have a little love for the whole team. the first of many i hope, and this is the broom to the city for the giants, the first ever. yes! congratulations on sweeping the world series championship. >> thank you mr. mayor. both the broom and the key will find a sacred place at at&t park because it belongs to the wonderful fans of the san francisco giants, the best fans in the world. thank you. [cheers and applause] >> well, we just saw him but i wanted to give a formal introduction

not a whole city. >> but this place isn't shut off from the rest of the country. when serious uprising began some -- when syria's uprising began some 18 months ago, there are also uprisings in the square here, but they were forcefully put down. aside from occasional demonstrations or explosions since then, this remains one of the most peaceful areas in the whole country. authorities are determined to keep it that way because this region is too important to lose. it is the ancestral home of the assad's. they are a large minority in this city and they dominate the hills behind. by charlotte saw's father is buried in these hills. we were -- bashar al-assad's father is buried in these hills. we were given rare access. he died in 2000, as syria's all- powerful president. it is often his -- it is often said his son is under pressure to preserve his legacy. this town was quiet when we visited. since then, there have been reported clashes between leading families. a measure of growing unease over their place in syria's troubled future. this region is still regarded as the

mayor vince gray says the whole city is on track to be back up and running tomorrow. the biggest impact, according to the mayor, the downed trees we mentioned. 187 of them down all across the city. more than 100 folks had to spendthe night in shelters. now the city is working to get those people back home by tomorrow. only two traffic signals remained out as of this morning. pepco says they hope to have any remaining power outages fixed by tomorrow evening as well. the mayor says keeping the city closed today was the right thing to do. >> i think it has remarkably facilitated our cleanup operations with trees down in some of the streets, people trying to traverse those streets. i have absolutely no reservations about having had a second day of the city being shut down. >> for the d.c. public schools, several did suffer some minor water damage. that's from leaks or what they're calling water intrusion. crews are getting those classrooms dried out. the district's hoping to have all the public schools back open just in time for class tomorrow. >> make no mistake about it

it could be more than a week before power is restored to the whole city. yor michael bloomberg said sandy may be the worst storm ever to have hit new york. >> in addition to the lives we lost, the damage we suffered across the city is clearly extensive, and it will not be repaired overnight. the two biggest challenges facing our city going forward are getting our mass transit said it -- system up and running and restoring power. >> it is not just new york that is affected. 10 u.s. states have declared a state of emergency. many areas, including parts of washington, d.c., are under water. experts say damages could run into the tens of billions of dollars. >> it does look like it is out of a movie. we are joined now from new york to get up-to-date on the latest. what did you experience, and what is the situation like right now? >> right now, winds have died down to about 50 kilometers an hour, which is half as much as it was at 1:00 this morning when i went out with my dog, who was insisting on going to central park. trees were down. the park was closed, but

are announcing today that we are going to complete with this grant 53 locations throughout the whole cityf them. [applause] we have already got 28 of them set up, and by the end of the month or early next month, we will have a national 25. that is going to be a lot of -- an additional 25. that is going to be a lot of places where our populations can become that much more digitally illiterate and they can benefit from the innovations of social media and have health resources and information online and also be able to play some games as well as visit your family online as well. [applause] you know, when you get more digitally connected, you are going to be able to find that there are going to be great ways to talk to your doctor or your nurse. you're going to be able to access health resources that much easier online. you're going to be able to set up e-mail accounts for yourself. and then those of you, and i know some of you here might be owners of facebook -- you are going to be billionaires' this friday, right? how many of you are going to be billionaires'? well, you're also going to be

not the whole city. >> this place is not shut off from the rest of the country. from -- when siri's uprising began 18 months ago there were also contests here in the main square, but they were forcefully put down. aside from an occasional demonstrations or an explosion since then this remains one of the most peaceful areas in all of syria. and the authorities are determined to keep it that way because this region is too important to lose. this is the ancestral home of the assads. they are large minority in this city and they dominate the hills beyond. bashar al-assad's father is buried in these hills. we were given rare access to the family mausoleum. from poor roots, he died in 2000 as an all-powerful president. it's often said that his son is under pressure to preserve his legacy. the town was quiet when we visited. but since then there have been reported clashes between leading alawite families, a measure of growing unease over their place in syria's troubled future. this region is still regarded as the president's last holdout. there's even been speculation i

just rattled the whole city.oday sentenced the former italian prime minister silvio berlusconi sentenced him to four years in evan prosecute. the italian court convicted berlusconi on tax fraud charges. he remains a free man until the ruling survives two levels of appeal which is standard over there its the first conviction for berlusconi number of legal cases end up having sex with woman, one and all ruby the heart stealer when she was underaged. he says it never happened. last week, he claims that his infamous bunga bunga sex parties were not wild bunga bunga sex parties but instead were all about high brow discussions. high brow discussion of sports and politics and gossip. officials here in new york city thinking of closing down the subway system. millions upon millions of people all up and down the east coast in the path of this thing. update from the extreme weather center and show you exactly the predictions of this it storm. in one state, if you filed a tax return, hackers may have your credit or debit ca

>> the whole city, the public transportation is closed and a lot of us were concerned about making it home before the public transportation closed. there's a concern there would be flooding in the subway tunnels, because that could bring infrastructure to a stop for several days. >> thanks for joining us. i hope that you are not badly affected. let's go to new jersey. frank is a meteorologist. what is your expectation of what's coming in the next few hours? >> we are looking at a very serious storm. the residents of new jersey are bracing for what could end up being a very historic storm in this state. it may change the landscape of the jersey shore a bit. we have never seen a storm of this intensity headed towards the coast. our experience level with a storm this size is low. i have been forecasting 50 years and have never seen a storm this big. rather i have been fascinated by the weather for 50 years. >> what are you advising? >> if you are asked to evacuate, you should evacuate. a lot of residents are used to storms affecting new jersey and they say to themselves we have made it t

conceptually just to let you know, it's not going to be one big permit tracking system for the whole city. i don't see that's what's going to happen. what's going to happen is the individual agencies are going to have very good permit tracking systems for their individual respective departments. and then there's going to be a first-class interface between the different systems to be able to communicate and keep each other updated and work just like an overall uniform database system. so, it's very exciting. that tracking item shows up on the agenda every month. and other item people want to bring forth to those meetings. so, it's a good thing happening there. just want to let you know about it. thanks. >> thank you. next item. >> commissioners, item 13, commissioner reports. >> i have a report. >> commissioner dooley. >> sunday i attended a district 3 policy summit and lots of things were discussed, but its was particularly interesting that so much of the discussion centered around small businesses and neighborhood commercial corridors. * and certainly got a lot of people who were very mu

we also represent the whole city. any district supervisor that focuses on the district without addressing the citywide issues is not doing his or her job. every day, i make sure i am working on the major citywide issues and the district issues. i try to be disciplined about that. >> how will you approach the tough choices? >> i think we have to start by looking at the most critical city services that we cannot do without. what are the ones that if they deteriorated, we will pay the price on? public safety falls into that category as a basic critical service. transportation, making sure we have the functional muni is critical. core public health services like dealing with mental on this on our streets -- with mental illness on our streets. if we do not provide services, we will pay the price. it works out from there in terms of budget priorities. >> with your plans on dealing with homelessness? >> it is homelessness in general and behavior on the streets. we need to make sure people have access to services. i was a sup

and cruise missiles and bunker busters and all the rest of the things that kill people blow up whole cities destroyed whole countries so yes absolutely the central bank enable government to take warfare to a whole new level world wars and the use of atomic weapons and so forth now of course they're threatening the use of atomic weapons against iran that's what that's what both bush and obama for that matter are romney mean when they say nothing is off the table when it comes to dealing with iran they're threatening the use of atomic weapons and again i wouldn't be able to do this without the central bank and let's back up for a moment a couple things you said mary do you are you suggesting that actually there is. collusion and that the central bank gives accommodative monetary policy to the government during times of war when the government wants to go to war or as always again or yes i mean this is the central bank takes the orders of the government the late arthur burns who is nixon's chairman of. of the fed said in answer to a question at a press conference right once after he was out of

city and the area. it is not just an oakland problem. it is in the whole bay area. >> if there is another attempt to shut down the port, will the police take additional steps to stop that from happening? is that something you will have to live with the experts >> let me be very clear. i did not appreciate theit is ca lot depends on what the longshoremen to warn do not do. -- do or do not do. we certainly have the resources, if we want to do that. that is something the port and we are both committed to trying to keep the port open. but it is more complicated than police. it has to do with how the longshoremen feel. it has to do with what kind of resources you want to use. several of the families i have been talking to the last few months decided to divert or change the times of operation. keeping it open or not means a lot of different things. it is not a simple thing. nobody should doubt we are firmly committed to keeping the port of oakland competitive, and to do what we have to do for the protection of the port in the port companies, and the poor leaders

i'm sorry that they're angry at me, but i have to do what is right for whole city. >> reporter: the police union says herera has ignored the rise in crime in evergreen. >> i'm running for san jose city council. if you could vote for me november 6th, i greatly appreciate it. >> reporter: which is why the police union and the powerful labor movement have poured tens of thousands of dollars into jimmy wynn's campaign. >> there are a lot of things that i'm not happy about. so that maybe me want to get involved, instead of just talking about it. >> reporter: wynn is an attorney, and this is his first run at elected office. wynn also partly blames the rise in crime on herera's leadership. >> for example, last year someone stole a car and dumped it in front of my house. i called the police, and it took them over three hours to come and investigate. >> reporter: if jimmy wynn wins, labor interests will wrestle away from the mayor and his fiscal reform ideas. a victory means he will be able to keep pushing his reform agenda. i'm damian trujillo, nbc bay area news. >> thank you, damian. >>> in the r

. >> go to public works we have maps for the whole city which establish official sidewalk widths most go back to 1909 for every sidewalk and every street in san francisco. in some cases even if the street is not built you go out and there is a dirt road, it will have an established sidewalk width so when a developer builds his property and builds the street they have a sidewalk width to build to. >> here is a nuance. since san francisco follows a lot of spanish rule if the city abandoned this street the center line of the street reverts back to the property owner. you can see that because when you go to grant street ask walk down grant and you go to china town and the street narrows and look in the maps pre06, people on the first 6 blocks of grant decided to pull their buildings back to widen the street to create a grander boulevard and gave that land to the city and retained the rest. in china town they chose not to do that. if the city abandons the street it ends up in the property owners. >> you can go to the department of public works and find out how wide the sidewalk or the stre

probably going to miss a few, but i wanted to name as many as i could remember to let you know the whole city family is with you today. look, you know, bullying, 13 million kids across this country reported being a victim and being harassed in this country. 13 million kids, your age, younger than you as well. you know, there were 3 million kids across this country that left school, that decided they are not go going back because they didn't know how to figure out how to not become a victim. they couldn't seek help. this crisis happening across this country has to stop an we need your help in doing that. in the bay area, every county in the bay area has reported increases in bullying and harassment of kids. in san francisco, in last two years, 44% of our kids have reported harassment in their schools. so that is why we're here today and we're here also not just to understand how this is affecting us. how it's making kids and families not want to go to school. it's stunting the emotional growth of our kids. it's leading to a bad epidemic and that is why the u.s. attorney is here to signal she w

>> we have the whole city coming out everybody from around the bay area showing support for the best derdog in baseball right now. >> yeah! >> the city's uniting about a good cause and we're all having fun and enjoying ourselves. >> reporter: thank you, guys. thank you. these guys are here to see a sweep today. not only will it be a sweep, where is that broom, but for bragging rights number one in the american league west. if you want more information about all today's coverage, visit us online, cbssf.com poinsettias sports. go as! >> whoo! >> she has the power. >> no kidding. >> quite the crew she's with today. >> i'd love to watch the game with then. >> it would be a riot. >> so much fun. >> they are already started. >> there were a few raider fans in there, too, i think, maybe ale. >>> things get personal for a local tv news anchor from wisconsin. after receiving an email complaining about her being obese as a poor example, the anchor responded. >> if you were r at home and you are talking about the fat news lady, guess what, your children are probably going to go to school and cal

when the giants win, the whole city celebrates. and that was the case tonight. >> you can feel the energy. you can feel it in the ballpark. but you can feel it in the city, as well. >> reporter: it was a gala affair of giant proportion, at the fairmont hotel. >> the city is exploding in orange. and we're so happy to be here. >> reporter: the party is a chance for the giants organization and its supporters to enjoy the glory of getting a second world series in three years. >> weojÑ one more task, the detroit tigers. and they're not an easy hurdle. they're big. they have justin verlander, the best pitcher. and miguel cabrera, triple crown. we have our work cut out for them. >> reporter: the giants are ready for the fight. and the voice of the giants is making predictions. >> i think it will be the giants in six. you may quote me, ladies and gentlemen. >> reporter: but first they have to get through games one and two at at&t park. they are getting ready for the first pitch tomorrow at 5:07. this giant fan enjoyed the work. they bought

francisco, none of the department heads have done the form 700 certification required by law and the whole city is out of order. to quote al pacino and go giants. >> hi there, i am one of the two whistle blowers, and from my perspective what i am asking for is actually not confidential investigatory information, what we wanted to know about is whether there was an administrative memo during the time that the ethics commission sat on our case for six months while the two of us were driven out of laguna honda ordering the whistle blower to not concurrently investigate the case. and in theory, according to your rules, the ethics commission should have sent a written memo to the whistle blower program, or they should have carried on a concurrent investigation but they didn't, and we would like to see the memo. it is not idle curiosity, we served the city for 43 years between the two of them and then they were sum marry removed after blowing the whistle. thank you very much. >> hi, i just want to... i just want to bring your attention, again to the fact that i sat there all of these hears, every sin

onto abandoned buildings and also firing in the air but certainly this does not suggest that the whole city has fallen only a we spoke with a man in north africa his family is in bonny wanted and he gives us an update of what the situation there is like there is no government force very large militias a block would know what city and. most of them. because children are. going to really. love food for reducing for everything the machinery here if you're. there yet that could by. far the use. of getting guys is that unless you mean forbidden. civilian people in sight. and their claws for. everything for this is now we've also been receiving reports that the army has rested at least eighty former gadhafi henchmen it accuses them of being involved in torture and murder this is other reports are circulating that the release of some forty hostages has taken place by anti government forces most people have fled according to the red cross some five thousand families which stands at around twenty five thousand people have fled to neighboring cities and towns but this figure is far below the total nu

they want the whole city excited about the idea. i am excited about it and we'll get it done rick, because it's the greatest thing for our city. working together we're developing area plans that will shape the city for years to come. from the transit center district plan anchored by the new transbay center, which will provide space for 27,000 new jobs, 4,000 new housing units, a thousand new hotel rooms and 12 acres of new open space. to the central corridor plan, which will enable south of market tech hub and create jobs for up to 30,000 new jobs and 10,000 new housing units. we are diligent and creatively planning for the jobs of the future. but we must executive these plans consistent with the city's values. we'll need to make sure all the businesses and commercial districts are places where we're welcoming everyone to live, to work, to shop, to eat and to play. and we need to make sure that they are pleasant, they are walk able and they are active around-the-clock and that they are green. and then we need to roll up our sleeves a

it is definitely something that is impacting not only the whole city, but especially being felt in my district where there has been a lot of displacement as we welcome the very, you know, the increased economic activity as more people are coming in. and i'm glad to see that there is an interest in continuing to address this issue which has been an issue that we faced before. we actually have put together a working group with folks who are dealing with that issue of displacement not only in the residential level but the commercial level. i look forward, supervisor avalos, to working with you. and the second thing i was remiss for not stating or mentioning this earlier, we had a very unfortunate development on sunday when we heard that governor jerry brown evoke -- vetoed two very important pieces of legislation offered by tom ammiano. one allowed local jurisdictions to prevent this trend where you have in other parts of the country local police becoming arms of immigration. and it was a piece of legislation that ensures that the very limited law enforcement resources that jurisdictions

and behind them, a whole city, an entire country -- the u.k. nations, united behind one goal.hat a contrast from a year ago. when england's cities burned in a week of riots and the images were not of athletes running to the finish line, but the mob running at police lines. when the flames climbed not from the olympic torch but a furniture shop in soutland. a 140-year-old business that survived two world wars, razed to the ground. even then -- we saw our country's trouue character when residents came out on the streets to clear up the mess. and this summer, when the reeves furniture shop -- decked with photos of young people with messages of hope. and who put those pictures up? young volunteers and an 81-year- old man named morris reeves, who ran the shop before handing it over to his son. morris, your example should inspire a generation. [applause] >> to think -- [applause] >> what morris has shown is that paralympians reminded us that success doesn't come easy or quick. or a culture of recent celebrity obscures -- real achievement takes time, effort, perserverence, and resill

like the whole city legend john called killie look forward to what could be the warmest winter olympics on record as such continue preparations for the next game. but first sebastian vettel has won formula one scurrying grand prix the victory now puts the defending champion on top of the driver's standings with four races left he started behind red bull teammate webber who had pole position but the leader early on eventually winning by a massive eight second margin and to take his in a row with second while ferrari's fernando alonso i was the vettel is now six points clear of a long day when the standings to push for a six left. things are also hoping up in the motel g.p. title race danny danny claimed victory in japan and that puts him twenty eight points behind. you are you saying so britain's culprits complete the podium there are just three races that this season reigns there would be crowned world champion if you finish in the. meanwhile in our socket in our moscow stay on top of the western conference after a three two win over metal because net squad scarse. the third after comin

the whole city of new york has been shut down. that goes for philly as well as boston. if you're trying to catch a flight this morning no matter where you're headed, make sure you check ahead. we're planning on landfall sometime late tonight. looks like sandy will hit the new jersey shore. we'll take a closer look at this with live coverage all morning long up and down the eastern seaboard. now let's take a look at your morning drive. >> lots going on on the east coast. the a's oakland didn't do quite as well but we still love them and we're celebrating with a nice, easy drive north past the coliseum. on the maps we see just a little slowing, speeds dip just a little bit in your northbound direction. the sensors with the yellow shows that's down to about 62. not a major concern. we have your typical overnight construction. the orange on the map is the overlay with the weather data and that could affect your drive as far as using the windshield wipers. christina talked about low fog and clouds scattered around the area. the speeds are all right down 101 and 37 but we'll
