lady or a young man in their home, what do they need to know? how do they... what signs do they need to look for? that is a really good question, and i think all of the parents who are out there viewing this program are wondering, "what can i do to increase the likelihood that my kids don't end up with problems that lead to suicide, depression, or substance use?" i think the most important thing, first of all, is to just be a really good parent and listen. and then, secondly, educate yourself and learn about these things, learn about community resources and work together with other parents, particularly in your schools and your communities, to make sure that all of your kids together are getting what they need to grow up to be healthy and avoid problem behaviors. and when things do surface, i think it is really important for parents not to necessarily blame themselves, but definitely proactively get the kind of support they need, both for themselves and their children, to increase the likelihood that little problems won't turn into great big pro

none of the young people in our program have cars. we're not going to contribute to the parking u.s. meeze deny the appeal and move this project forward. the delays are hurting our young people. >> good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. my name is ruth clafmente i was born to a drug-addicted peoria mother and a father whose whereabouts was unknown. i was placed in a foster care system at birth. there were some good times and also some bad times. after exiting out the faster care system, i was bounced from house to house with college the last thing on my mind. i knew some day i wanted to become a nurse but without the support i knew my career would be placed on hold. however, moving back to san francisco's independent living skills program referred me out to first place for youth after entering the program. first place taught me time management, how to pay bills, job searching and got me back into scoofment after exiting out of first place i still maintain a 3.3 g.p.a., starting -- 3 p. 5 g.p.a., starting nursing school in the fall, con

with the new funding, it is for young people 18 to 25, focusing exclusively on young people from district 10. the basic core of the program is that young people receive free employment, job readiness training at the start of the program, and then get placed with non-profit or private sector work sites through the course of the summer. the total program length is approximately eight weeks. for this new component of the program, the applications are out on the streets right now, so they are just going through collecting the applications. >> just for the folks that are watching at home, could you direct us where that application is available, the website or a location? >> they are available at four community sites. maybe some folks can give you more details to have been working on the operational details of how the program operates. >> to make sure i heard it correctly, people can get applications for this. what is the name of the program? >> it is summer youth employment. >> at bayview family? >> hunters point family. 50 raymond. alice gresset. the visitation valley rec center. and ycd. >>

now when they pack stars we will be able to endorse campaigns and put people young at heart and young on those campaigns so it's a little bit of both using the use of court like obama did in two thousand and eight putting them on the right campaigns and then having them go so far as a run for office and self ok so for a young person who might be watching the show tonight who's going you know i wish i could be running for office on the money on the resources on understand of the political process. are you are creating them to run for office we're recruiting them through the traditional networks and we're making phone calls what are you offering them not already rich off of it how are you what do you offer what would you what's the what's the pitch when you tell a person who's like you know i can't do i really out of the money on the experience how do you how do you get over some of the a lot of those psychological hurdles that might keep young people from running for office so i would respond with i'm sure they have the idea someone watching your show adam has the ideas pat they unders

our young people. of course, we are living in a very, very, tense time globally, with our young people really needing to be prepared and in their preparation needing to make a contribution in the united states and abroad. the question as well as the concerns that i have, have to do. i think the gentlemen in the orange and the other young lady and also this is for the mayor's aid. we are talking about mentor programs. i have been listening to this for the last 7 hours. i attend a lot of other events. the idleness of not having enough to do. are the basics keeping them in step. so, i'd like to know what other leadership programs are going to be available to these young kids. we heard about the sport things. what about the things coming out of silicon valley, working with yahoo or google that gives mentor ships. i haven't heard anything with the media and i have heard of the arts doing something with the idleness. >> what partnerships with the private sector. >> at the bay view safe haven, we have a proje

this young man call about criminals victimizing kids on the 38 bus line. every day these guys were getting on the same stop and steal shoesing and pack backs from kids and get off the next stop. no one did anything about it. he didn't do anything about it until the guy in the row in front of him got victimized. the police were able to put up a sting operation and that they were able to catch them. another instance. somebody jumped on the bus and beat this boy up and jumped off the bus and the other students at our school have all our students have been taught what to do in case someone hurts you on the bus. they had the bus number. the time, the description of what the people looked like and within 2 days these people were arrested. part of what we need to do is teach our kids to be aware of their environments. especially for middle school kids. they are not as worldly as high school kids. they need to be trained to negotiate their environments. >> i think that's a great bridge to doctor wenz, you teach people how to negotiate an environment. it you tell u

we have over 4,000 young people each year die of suicide. now what is equally important is that from each suicide, each one of those 4,000 has anywhere from 1 to 200 attempts. so this is a major problem. a community, when they assess, and they have had a couple of suicides of young people in their... or older adults in their community, then they will target a program directed to that. we are seeing results of that as well. well, when we come back i want to go back to talking about some of the other programs that exist, and i want to see what... how hospitals and how youth organizations can also get in the mix to solve all of these problems. we'll be right back. for more information on national recovery month , to find out how to get involved, or to locate an event near you, visit the recovery month web site at recoverymonth.gov. they tell me i was there but i don't remember. i don't know where i really was. i do not know what i had for breakfast. i do not know who won the game. i don't recognize this man. if you or someone you know is strugg

i am actually standing on the shoulders of giants, giants who were young people. dr. martin luther king was also a young man when he made some of his revolutionary changes to this world, so i want to encourage you to stay vigilant and stay inspired, and i want you to feel supported. i am here to continue to support your education if you need someone to continue to talk to, and allied. i make myself and my staff 100% available to you, but we are here to talk about technology and the commitment and the impact that technology has on education. i opened with an example of google and how it was a young college students that revolutionized how we communicate. and i hope that the next great application will come from the hearts and minds of some of the young folks in this room or maybe the next new piece of technology, which will revolutionize how we speak to each other, not just here locally but globally, or come from some great mind right here in this room, this institution. i am very excited to be here. thank you, michael stott, for your contribution to the students, and

at the heart of the elaborate cover-up was this man, andrew young how much money was devoted to thisover up? >> i know of over $1 million. >> reporter: young was a close edwards aide, willing to go to extremes to help his boss. >> i fell in love with him. and i viewed my job as doing everything that i could to let him focus on running for president. >> reporter: young served as a go-between, keeping edwards' mistress from being discovered by his wife elizabeth, who was battling cancer. >> he said, andrew, whatever you do, don't let elizabeth see rielle. >> reporter: that was his fear? >> yes. >> reporter: but soon, edwards had a bigger fear. his mistress was pregnant. and while he was surf surging in the polls, the national enquirer started publishing photos of hunter. >> tabloid is full of lies. >> reporter: but despite his denials -- >> were you ever -- >> reporter: the story was heating up. he turned to his trusted confidant. >> he wanted me to issue a statement claiming paternity for rielle's child. >> reporter: so andrew took the fall, though he already had a wife and kids. they

young people would be in the program approximately eight weeks. they would work 12 hours per week and receive minimum wage while in the program. do you have specific questions? supervisor cohen: no questions. colleagues, any questions about the youth employment program? i do have a question, just a clarification. you said ages 16 to 21 years old? >> that is for our existing summer youth and program -- youth employment program. with the new program, it will focus on people 18 to 25. supervisor cohen: and what is the -- >> 18225 with these moneys. -- 18 to 25 with these moneys. supervisor cohen: what of the requirements? do they have to have high school? do they have to have some college? >> right now, we are working with members of 8010 to finalize the selection criteria. they are looking for different populations, ensuring equal access to the program. for the program we run, we already have a central criteria in case. it was low income and specific priority populations. for this program, it is really looking at equal access, low to moderate income

instead of saying a young person has a fight and hurting someone, instead of sending that young person ought to be incarcerated immediately, what we do is we put him or her and supporters, family members in a circle with the person who was harmed along with their family members and a facilitator, and that young person has the opportunity to sit face-to-face across from the person that was harmed and hear that person say, "you have devastated me. this is how. here are the human consequences of his or her actions, and the circle all together will come up with an action for the person to repair the harm. this is just an example -- say it is a case of a young person who has burned down a building, someone's home or business. instead of sending that person off to be incarcerated, he or she could be by the circle sentenced to serve 200 hours, being the personal assistant for a burn patient. that is the kind of thing that will really transform lives. [applause] in oakland, what we are trying to do is engage in these restorative actions, have restored a justice instead of punitive justice. wit

i credit the national public library with my successes as a young reader and a young writer. my grandfather had 2 books on his shelf. one was king james version of the bible, the other was bull finch's mythology. it was that thick and on the mantle. i can see it as clearly as i am looking at them now. keu remember looking at the pictures and beginning to pick through some of the stories. and i learned to love those stories and if you read my books as a collection, and some people have, you will see that those 2 books inform most of my writings in subtle ways, not overt, in subtle ways you can see those books and the influence that they have on my writing. daddy james would tell store reus about little girls named sara and pat and little boy named nollin and one he told in particular was one of my favorites. the 3 kids had a chore for the grandmother. take a basket of eggs to a neighbor's house. along the way they were confronted by a wolf, bear, snake, and fox. is they tricked that fox, and the bear and got them to the woods. it is a long, long summer and i don't have a contr

do you ever get concerned about having the kids go down your route so young?when i think about the pressures that i had growing up, you know, living in a drug-infested neighborhood, not always having the lights on, not always knowing where my next meal is going to come from, having parents who are addicted to drugs, i think i would rather have my kids deal with pressures in this hollywood platform in a more contained, controlled environment than having had them be confronted with life on that platform. and with life there are pressures. there's no getting around it. so i actually feel really blessed to have a platform like hollywood where i actually feel like will and i have a lot of support and have a lot of knowledge that we can give our kids some life lessons and they can be safe to a certain degree. >> on the show "america's got talent," when i see these young kids come, we often get criticized for encouraging them to be stars. when you see someone who's so incredibly gifted. my first question is, show me the parents. >> right. >> let me see what's going o

as a young family, we went through the discussion and dialogue that many young families go through in san francisco. "should we move to the suburbs? should we move elsewhere? san francisco is expensive to live. the public-school system has been difficult in the past." i think less about the quality of schools because we have great schools and grieg parental involvement, but more about the assignment process. where would my child go to school? a lot of family leaves, -- a lot of families leave. we stuck around, but it was a turning point decision to say, all right, we are here from -- we're here for good. what can we do to make this place better? getting involved in politics was the fact that the seed was open for election for the first time in a long time. it was previously mayor newsom's seat and supervisor alioto- pier's seat. i did not get into politics because i had a lifelong ambition of being a politician. that is not me. i came from a private sector, and looking at honestly answering the question -- did i have something different to offer that i thought would be valuable to san

we have been talking about this program taking place being geared toward young adults, first 16 to 21, then 18 to 25. i happen to be in that category. more or less, i have been dealing with a lot of letdowns due to the fact of being a youth in san francisco. every summer, there is always a random program that pops up. you always get these promises. you get your hopes up and everything, and you get let down. being a part of this and seeing it take place, i am more or less really excited. it is a good opportunity. at the end of this, i expect to be part of it next year and have a major input within this, making decisions. it is good. it is taking a fresh step of fixing programs. hopefully next year, and the summers after that, somebody my age will have a chance of making a difference in district 10. commissioner maufas: is it keith? and i think you very much for presenting. -- thank you very much for presenting. thank you for sharing that you were looking through the summer for employment and found employment through this but also participated in helping make it come about. you can spea

we only knew we had young girls and young women being killed at the prime of their life, and their future was erased, taken from them. and the family's lives were destroyed. >> dave reichert served as a pallbearer at several funerals. it wasn't surprising that he did. reichert had grown up in the same seattle suburb, kent, where the first bodies were found. he had overcome a difficult childhood, sometimes spending nights in those very woods, escaping a father who drank too much. he worked his way through a small lutheran college and after service in the air force, became a cop so he could live out his dream of rescuing the vulnerable. after the first five bodies left at the river, the killer turned to new, favorite dumping sites. the remains of six women were uncovered near the remote star lake road. their names and faces haunted reichert. terry milligan, alma smith, delores williams, gail matthews, sandra gabbert, carey royce. two were found beneath a tree next to this little league field. parents of players later remarked they had wondered about the smell. five bodies were uncovered in

many of the issues that our young people are struggling with each and every day. we are going to be presenting some very, i think, helpful important information. we start with the facts about what we're seeing in san francisco. we're focuses not only on individuals who are allegeed to have pertraited violence. but who are victimized. we use those words as being 2 polarized entities. many of those are perpetrators themselves. some of the surveys we have done at the youth guidance center. 77 percent believed a gun was necessary for their own protection. that says a lot about our society that a young purpose would feel compelled to carry a gun. to many people they would think of that as outrageous. there was an incident reported by joe tucker about a first grader who had a gun and brought it to school. we have to question how does that happen? what is the thinking, and again you're talking about a first grader. and what can we do as youth workers? as educators? as parents. as teachers to help insure that our youth don't grow up in a world where that type of behavior

blacks and young whites. when we ask them a question like do you believe that racism is still a major problem in this country, 69% of young black people said yes. 33% of young whites said yea, and about 51% of young latinos say yes. so even the divide within their population suggests a point of division among young people as they kind of move through the generation. >> host: professor cohen, you mentioned the data in the book. what is the black youth project? >> guest: so the black youth project really started out as a pretty major research project meant to highlight the voices of young black people and young people generally. we engage in a national representative survey, we then followed that up with focus groups in and around chicago, and we then followed that up with in-depth interviews with some of the individuals who answered our survey. so we were looking for a representative sample so we could talk about what's happening in the country, but we also wanted specifics and stories that were generated thro

so the young actors now are better trained, i hope. there are still a lot of them here not stage-trained, which i find it really... because you don't last very long if you don't. i mean, sandra oh, for instance, she is a stage-traed actress. >> hinojosa: and you know what's so funny? i was with sandra oh maybe a year and a half before grey's anatomy. and she was a little bit frustrated as an asian actress... she's canadian. >> yeah. >> hinojosa: she was saying, you know, "in the united states it feels like you are always seen through the prism of you're an asian actor." she said in canada it wasn't that way. and she was frustrated with not being able to kind of push through. well, now, sandra oh is a huge star. >> so we have her. we have lucy liu. but also we need a lot of people, you know, like latino. we need people behind it. >> hinojosa: yeah. >> behind it. but i will also-- at the risk of being unpopular, which i often become-- i think we can always blame other people, but asians, especially chinese-- i'll just say chinese-- do no

young. seeing no other questions, i would like to call forward miss sally stephens. >> good afternoon. my name is sally stephens and he served on the commission for four years and i consider it a great honor to do so and hope you recommend i will be reappointed for another term. the commission advises the board on animal issues. to be most helpful, you have to see value in the advice we give. i worked hard on the commission to ensure when we recommend something to use aboard it's well researched, well thought out, workable and fair. my fraining is a scientist. i have a ph.d. in astrophysics and as a jurnist i worked for several decades as a science writer explaining complex astronomical ideas to the public as taught me how to complain complicated issues to my fellow commissionerses, public and ultimately to you. for example, when the commission sent a poem cat declaw ban to the board, an idea i brought to and sponsored at the commission, i prepared a packet of information for each of the sup

at this young age.is never quite the same again. you yourself at the time have been propelled into the stratosphere after "love story." you were second to clint eastwood during that period. an amazing thing. she sat here and -- >> make my day. >> yeah, exactly. and "love story" was just iconic for all of you, a crazy period. when you look back at what happened, when did you start to see things just go wrong, do you think? >> tatum and i were enormously close, perhaps too close. i can't say it was unhealthy because i didn't feel unhealthy about it. but we went everywhere together. we were in one room for days. it's just the way it was. >> she said that you're an incurable romantic. >> whatever that is. i am. so we had a blood tie. it was hard on me. it was harder and harder and harder. she was possessive. she was strangling me. she was strangling me. and then all of a sudden out of the mist came this blond woman that she introduced me to. tatum introduced me to. she said, my dad is here visiting me and w

it is young people on the front lines in egypt.wly but surely, the young people in sudan are following suit and rising up against an oppressive government. it was a young girl who stood still when she was ordered to give up her seat to a white woman, violently taken from the bus, pushed into a police car, ridiculed on her way to the station, and shot inside a jail cell until she was bailed out hours later -- shut inside a jail cell until she was bailed out hours later. hers is a powerful story, along with that of a man who was racially profiled and accused of a crime he did not commit. i would like to invite ronald, who garner's several proclamations from various officials, and we would like to present them to ms. claudia -- to ms. claudette colvin. we want to thank him for his efforts in securing these proclamations. if ms. colvin would come up as well. >> it is an honor to be asked to make these presentations. the elected officials represented here are trailblazers themselves. many of them have been the first in their community t

young. are there any question? supervisor farrell? supervisor farrell: this proposal, fact sheet, can you tell me a little more about it and what it seeks to do and so forth? >> sure. it's actually not public yet. it's something that may be put forward at a future commission meeting. basically the idea is last year that there's, as dr. agarwal mentioned, a hub hub about the pet sale ban in san francisco. i was kind of introduced to the commission at that time as well and i spoke to the commission and was surprised to see it had not really gotten anywhere about six or seven months later. kind of been tabled because a number of concerns were raised but i didn't see anything being addressed. so i went back to the commission a couple weeks ago and asked about the status of issue and afterwards met with philip and offered my support for trying to resurrect the idea of not selling live animals tunnelly promoting the adoption of animals ahead of creating and then selling for profit live animals in
