together to make the advanced saturn missile, assembled in a new building to be built at cape canaveral as tall as a 48-story structure. as wide as a city block. and as long as two lengths of this field. within these last 19 months at least 45 satellites have circled the earth. some 40 of them were made in the united states of america. and they were far more sophisticated and supplied far more knowledge to the people of the world than the soviet union. the mariner spacecraft -- [ applause ] the mariner spacecraft now on its way to venus is the most impotent instrument in the history of space science. the accuracy of that shot is comparable to firing a missile from cape canaveral and dropping it in this stadium between the 40 yard lines. transit satellites are helping our ships at sea to steer a safer course. tirous satellites have given us unprecedented warnings of hurricanes and storms, and will do the same for forest fires and icebergs. we have had our failures, but so have others, even if they do not admit them, and they may be less public. to be sure -- [ applause ] to be sure, we are behind, and we will be behind for some time in m

a lot of tenants in the city. and, so, again balance is really key. i think we also have to approach the budget and some tough fiscal issues looking at the city-wide budget ashole and not just looking at specific sectors or issue areas that we real have i to look at the city's financial standing as a whole for the long term. that's really important and that's definitely what drives a lot of my decision-making process. and i think it's also tougher in san francisco because we really are held to a very high standard where we have to balance the budget every single fiscal year. we cannot run into a deficit in the new fiscal year. we cannot print more money. we are held to a high standard by our charter and, so, i think that's why these tough decisions are made every year rent. >> what other issues do you feel are facing san francisco? >> i think for san francisco and also elsewhere, one of the biggest issues right now is really how do we ~ attract economic development and spur job creation. and those are two things that really go hand in hand and really is what makes the city vibrant and a place where people want to live and can afford to live. and i think tha

properties, that includes commercial property as well as residential and as you can see a number of the neighborhoods outpailsd the city-wide total for increased rates in assessed valuation. the others were also high but not as high as the city-wide rate. the ones high were the inner mission, castro, and castro. what's more striking is the column on the right showing increase in home prices. this is the actual home price of homes for sale during that period. five of the 7 neighborhoods exceeded the city-wide total in increased sales prices of their real estate and you can see it their. inner mission again very high with 29.5 percent, castro ue reek ka valley with 36.6 percent, and the others mostly well above the city-wide rate. that was the trend we saw in the neighborhoods where ellis act evictions have been concentrated. there's a corresponding relationship with increases in real estate prices, particularly residential. and this graph shows the relationship with these, the line at the top is showing median home prices and you can see we have the numbers in there for 2009 of 735,828, bumps up to 897,89 ate, this is the me

the initial roll out of the initial pilot program as well as future anticipated and much desired growth of the program so it can become a city wide program a few months ago we launched bay area bike share in san francisco san mateo and santa clara counties and that will increase to 500 bikes next year. bike sharing is a very important part of the future of transportation in san francisco in terms of becoming truly a transit first city we all want to have more access to biking in san francisco and this is a key part of that strategy. for people who have bikes they may not want to carry those bikes around with them all the time and having the option to be without your bike and still bike when necessary is important and in addition there are people that don't own a bike but they want to be able to bike when they need to get somewhere and muni or driving or walking isn't necessarily an option. so transit first is about giving people as many options as possible biking and bike sharing are one of those options. it's also important that we move consistent ly to have a city wide bike sharing program currently the pilot is focussed on the

a hearing for. as our city continues to be widely successful in increasing the presence of industries and jobs hero optimistic commercial rent has gulping gone up 33 percent over the city and has placed burdens on school programs etc., throughout the city. that's our office is exploring resources long with the new workshop that will be shared by the mayor's office office of housing. i'm exfoliated to announce the city has been working with the california development fund to actually create the community art stabilization trust a $5 million trust that's capitalized and again, the northern california loan program to support the cities center market and a tenderloin area. wore existed we are going to purchase two buildings. one it is the building their residing in on sixth & market that will allow them to remain in the building and have full ownership. they were at risk for public and private investors but they'll have fro art classes for homeless and other folks who want to participate. i want to announce the purchase of on the under utilized adult theory on above the counter pulse a art performing t

it is item 24 that to me as a resident of a different district has the larger city-wide impact. and i want to thank supervisor avalos for his openness to discuss the more specific concern i had, along the lines of what supervisor mar indicated. that item 24 allows a platform of how we deal with medical cannibalis. i want to be sure that we do it right. that we have as inclusive a process as we can. and i understand that supervisor avalos recognizes that and committed to making sure that happens. and that means making sure that everyone that has an opinion on this has an opportunity to weigh in. as the author of the legislation that created the task force. i can tell you that nothing is simple when it comes to the medical cannibalis community. and the most simple and basic thing has complexities behind it. and it's in light of that complexity i would like to make an amendment. and make a motion to amend item 24. by amending on page 2, line 11 of the ordinance to change the date from january 1 to may 1, 2014. with the understanding that it's possible that the work can be completed

as you're fixing your knowledge you're adding to the city wide resiliency. >> >> what does that mean? >> that's a great question. what spur has done is look at that in terms of recovery and in new orleans with katrina and lost many of the people, hasn't recovered the building stock. it's not a good situation. i think we can agree and in san we want to rebuild well and quickly after a major disaster so we have defined what that means for our life lines. how do we need the gasolines to perform and water perform after an earthquake and the building stock as well, so we have the goal of 95% of our homes to be ready for shelter in place after a major earthquake, and that way people can stay within the city. we don't lose our work force. we don't lose the people that make san francisco so special. we keep everybody here and that allow us to recover our economy, and everything because it's so interdependent. >> so that is a difficult goal but i think we can achieve it over the long time so thank you very much for hosting us and hosting this great exhibit, and thank you very much for joining >> just a fe

damage in washington, illinois where a tornado, about an eighth of a mile wide cut down entire city blocks. jay gray was there this morning. >> as the sun comes up, take a look. this is the devastation that crews will be working through. the kind of debris that families will be coming back to. many getting their first look at what is left of their communities here. they will be searching for any part of their lives that is left from the time before the storm. it's going to be a difficult task as will the recovery. >> we are told to evacuate their seats and find a covered concourse while the storms moved through that area. let's get right to my first reads of the political morning. a month ago, federal employees went become to work after the 16-day shut down leaving them blaming republicans and democrats seeing the largest lead in the ballot since early 2009. house democrats picked up new recruit who is have been on the fence about running. democrat his a chance of taking back the house. the senate seems to be slipping away. 30 days later and political fortunes reversed. that advantage for democrats is gone. it's vulnerable incum

a city wide curfew for juveniles. mark kelly is live in oakland. the curfew is intended to help protect teens as well. >> reporter: it is. the oakland city council public safety committee is going to take a look at that tonight. let's keep in mind, a curfew law has been attempted here in oakland in the past but it has failed. still, here's the proposal on the table. anyone under the age of 18 must be off the street between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. that's every single day. and between 8:30:00 a.m. and 1:30:00 p.m. on school days. city council man has been advocating a cur view here. juvenile violence has gone too far. 600 oakland robberies has involved a juvenile as a suspect. that said, a curfew has been tried before, and it's been nothing but controversial. >> get them off the street because they're not going to solve their chemistry exam being out at midnight, hanging out on fruit veil. >> there's a disproportion of kids of color who are on curfew. >> reporter: now, critics say the curfew idea leads to racial profiling and keeps officers from fighting other crimes. live in oakland, mark kelly

a small city 20 miles north of st. petersburg. it appears to be about 12 feet wide when officials first showed up on the scene. as the hole grew, it swallowed the homeowner's porch and a new boat. his neighbor's swimming pool and a portion of that home fell in, as well. >> may day, may day. >>> may day, may day. i have a door ajar and i'm heading to tamiami. >> you have a door open? >> i have a door ajar and a passenger that fell down. >> radio reported the frantic moments when a passenger fell from a plane into the atlantic ocean shortly after take-off yesterday flying at about 2,000 feet. the pilot said his only passenger opened the door and fell out. >>> comcast may start selling movies. the ap reports comcast is considering selling digital versions of films directly through its set-top boxes. hollywood is hoping the service could help offset huge declines in dvd sales over the past decade. >>> here's a live look at the big board. we are up in a big way. 71 points. good day. >>> lawrence karnow is in our mobile weather lab live at the san mateo harvest festival at the san mateo event center. what's going on? >

something that the mta has already committed to starting as a project, they have already begun the process of serving locations and blue zones city-wide and this is something that san francisco can initiate without going any further at the state level. this next recommendation is to increase the enforcement over placard misuse. what we're seeing on the photo is a vehicle parked with a blue placard but what's missing is the person that actually belongs it that placard. this illustrates what we learned to be a challenge for enforcement. during our committee discussions we heard from the parking control officers and we learned how time-consuming the process is to conduct enforcement. the peo's work as a team, they have to be able to interview either the driver or the person who is in possession of the placard in order to verify that they are using that placard legitimately. now what makes that difficult is that there may be a placard holder who is a passenger who is being driven to an appointment and that placard holder may actually be somewhere away from the vehicle, around the corner at that appointment. so just interviewing the driver

a closer look to see if we can reduce that. >> what are the requirements of the city parking contract as well as in the private sector? >> currently, they vary widely, but what our current arrangement is the rent either in cash or as a letter of credit. >> i think that maybe six months will be. >> it is six and what we have talked about is six months. >> i thought it was one year. >> no six months, and i think that what the quif

of those open to the public, again, looking to see this as evidence in the problem of the problem being city wide. the next side, i want to take a talk about demand. and this slide shows what with the providers every day and that is that the demand seems to be unending. and you were asked a question of how do you know when you know the need. you do more and more, each year, and it never seems to end and we will put a finer foint on the answer to that. and on the poverty and equality and try to figure it out. and you included in the slide today, because this is a result of the work in which we call the missing meals reach. and we put it on the slide because it is the analysis of the needs in san francisco and it could be used to understand the food system. and that relative scale and also the limitations of the different components of food. and because of that, it provides a becon for where we should be focusing the efforts i will explain about the methodology and i think that it gets complicated. and they created a calculations where they looked at the number of people who are living on lower income. and they used a figure of 18
