well the sad reality is that using the so-called heroes i was called a hero as were all of us and the first gulf war we are nothing more than cannon fodder and that's the reality they use experimental drugs on a string the gulf war of which i was a participant they gave us experimental drugs so it's not just even do you we're talking about the same thing that adolf hitler did to the jews and gypsies was done to us by our own government radiation experiments have also been done on us troops and so to even think that the high ranking officials in charge of the us military care at all about the troops his pure fantasy don't care about the lower ranking troops at all and they use us in the most obscene of ways and when we come home and have health problems or mental problems or are losing our homes does the government help us no they do not so why would we live under the illusion that the high ranking officials care about us they do not they don't care about us and they certainly don't care about the enemy and nowhere was that more of it and i think in the budget shutdown to paint only on

we'd like to call emily up to join us -- us. she was the person in the picture and the submitter of the photo and then her brother was the person who took the photo. he also submitted one but his wasn't put into the finals. so on behalf of our -- of the lafco program we wanted to present her -- chairperson campos: could we see the picture? >> do i have the picture available. give me one second. chairperson campos: it's very excite . -- exciting. >> this is the photo. it is in golden gate park. it is the water pumping station that's in golden gate park. it's a wind mill structure. it's a beautiful photo. we had some great photoses. we have been talking with some folks about potentially trying to get art in the stormfront program and maybe getting some clean power photos put into those places that will promote the program as well. on behalf of cleanpowersf we want to present a very -- we had a great prize pack. the biggest part, i think, is the $100 gift certificate to prints which donated this to us for the top vote, you can prin

people call us what they're up to. the test of a chinese anti-satellite weapons in january two thousand and seven alarmed many observers about the vulnerability of american satellites. the united states and particularly its intelligence services worry about an attack on the united states it is not nuclear weapons it is not chemicals it is not biological but it is technological. a surprise attack against its satellites is a catastrophic. scenario studied by the u.s. forces by knocking out fifty u.s. military satellites the chinese could literally cripple the u.s. . they could prevent the military from being able to communicate with its forces they could blind the u.s. intelligence community which uses electro optics satellites to determine military force movements around the world and they could also cripple the guidance systems that are used on precision guided munitions that are satellite guided. in many senses could be a kind of an electronic pearl harbor. without space the u.s. would be unable to conduct any type of

one of the things i think people need to know is that most technology that's used in space can be used either for weapons purposes or it can be used for totally benign good purposes lasers for tracking good idea more precise tracking small micro satellites that can go around a big cell it take pictures good idea as it helps you figure out what went wrong with your satellite and that's hard to do right now good idea that same little microcell aid that's going around the big seller could be set up to go around another person and run into it and kill it. the technology doesn't know whether it's a weapon or whether it's you know a benign use the question is going to come down to the intent of the people who are building these systems. to the anti-missile shield is regarded by some critics as being the visible freeze of an urgent space weapons program. soldiers hold it by critics of building. in military war games this is the nation's launch ballistic missiles on american cities. for possible impact of san francisco shores but in reality who is capable of pulling off such an attack against

new media we've used films we've used a whole lot of people hollywood to connect get our message and you're reaching troops in the field with this that's right and we've got our film was actually given to carl i can vary in his hands there's hundreds of we get hundreds of e-mails from for marines and soldiers in place abroad and they tell us this is so true we see this stuff every day that nation building in afghanistan doesn't allow us to kill terrorists which we need to do so how is that perspective then that is available to us through the internet affecting our generation of veterans when that when i looking at these issues and looking at the big picture i mean i know that there.

for this type of use. for the previous use, it's a no brarn because it didn't have the various happy impact loading requirements. >> rick crawford, department staff. the uses required to have one loading space. this is a code complying loading space. commissioner moore: for this type of use? >> yes, it is. it's retail. the code does not distinguish, basically, as commissioner migueling -- suggested, this is a retail store. retail stores are above 10,000 square feet and below 20,000 need one off-street loading dock. commissioner moore: i think the introduction commissioner miguel gave is an intelligent one where we have a mixed mashed retail where every possible of retail is coming together in one large oversized store so i think this is something we might have to look at and ultimately track through the code. adaptive use is a fine thing to do but if it really changes how the store behaves, one type of retail which -- what was it before, big box or whatever it was, what was its name? blockbuster video is o

connections with the with the beijing olympics about using or not using some of the expertize expertise there that you've learned from the chinese how though the russians who are getting ready for it will appear in two years r.t. have two years in sochi this will be winter but but anyhow are they interested in using some of your own or know how some of your expertise are you ready to share absolutely one of the reasons to be here this week is to do precisely the delegations and such you have already been to london we hosted a number of from senior officials from the organizing committee in london and we've heard long and detailed discussions with them and they've asked a lot of questions we try to give them pointers and to tell her exactly what we're doing and to let them to choose whether they elect to make use of any of that so we're very willing to share i think each city ought to be prepared to share the learning and we're absolutely going to deliver and i think you in many ways the more cities can get together and actually make use of each other's knowledge the better off we'll all

as for illegal use -- as for legal use, this was one of the biggest challenges for us. let's say that they came back to us all 42 from the dwelling. -- for a two family dwelling. let's say that we need the applicants to provide us with property cards and water records. that will help us to see how come it becomes too as opposed to one-family dwelling. after picking the document we do and other research, just to make sure. we provide a package with that the building permit. every document that we have. we bring it up to the dirt -- deputy director of inspection services. we handed to him. he will look through all the documentation and give that determination. yes, this can be a legal close family dwelling. >> does that accommodate the fee structure? when an inspection has to be made of a unit or building? >> really, there is no fee involved. but if there are building permits, i guess. >> is there a significant of occupancy in the code that can be a problem? >> sometimes. >> how often does that take place? i know that when there was the glut of construction that was takin

thank you for joining us today. tell us about your background, where you grew up, went to school, and what kind of jobs to have had. >> i grew up in the philadelphia area, in new jersey. i went to school up and down the east coast. i went to undergrad at duke university. i went to law school at harvard. after clerking for a judge, i came out here in 1997. i have been here for the last 14 years. i have always lived in the castro. i am an attorney. i started out in private practice. i settle private law firm during complex commercial litigation. in 2002, and moved over to the sentences the city attorney's office where i worked on the trial team doing trials for the city, handling my own cases, and supervising a team of attorneys as well. >> why did you choose to live in san francisco? >> i always assumed i would go back to the philadelphia area since that is where my family is. i was always interested in san francisco in terms of what it is as a city, its culture, it's amazing lgbt community. i came out here for a sum

he agrees to meet with us and explain the methods used there. between one thousand change of scenery out and change of scenery down this is where you take a person out of the environment that are used to and if you put them in a change of scenery out there you put them in a nicer area change or scenery down i mean if you're going to put them into an isolation chamber cold conditions face lab stomach slap if you can hit them enough so that it shocks them especially if it's allowed slap but you don't actually break any bones cut them bruise them then that's an effective technique because it's the way that they would usually referred to as putting is actually placed over their head. and the interrogator. chops their questions at them through the through the hood a pro longstanding if they were to do it for five seconds it would be too much of others after five ten minutes it really starts to to wear down their physical resistance increased anxiety by use of aversions if they had phobias of heights or . of certain animals you might introduce that to

states for certain actions like the use of force in this case it was short go to war use of force with clear english or new targets clear objectives like in libya where this object to was to enforce arms embargo throughout his own libya's territories to support in forcing the no fly zone so that. airspace is not used to launch airstrikes against civilians and the main objective is to protect civilians to protect that is a peaceful secure border population and the u.n. security council is the body that should carry out the political leadership how of all the actions that you would visit students or resolutions and monitor the situation so that the parties don't go beyond this resolution to date we have discussed i said it is earlier the president of the russian federation yesterday after the brig's summit in china the stick with it made a statement against two d. we seeing some captions going beyond the limits of what the united nations security council outlined in the resolution of some ari was talking about using resolution one thousand nine hundred three for a ground operation no thi

our approach has been one using technology primarily and they've invested heavily for us to use? lieu of some of the initial reproaches but i think the water industry as a whole has been a remarkable job and there's also and,isac, program where we can share with each other. >> you painted a great picture of a diversified important foal quo is that in part o protect against events as well. >> more related to high ydraulic issue but i think the effort the water agencies have made since 1911 have been markable and i think we're one of the more secure utilities or areas as a result. obviously there's the converging but it does not mean just because you have a concern or risk you don't move ahead. you analyze the risk and the potential impacts and then make informed de sibs and that's what all of the agencies are doing and certainly security is a piece of that risk assessment. >> are you folks in the northwest looking at that differently. >> we went to spending nothing to five million on capitol expenditures. we did cop stuff for reservoirs primarily with insure answers. but yew done

help us with electronic waybill. please help us. we need your help. thank you. chairman nolan: thank you. secretary boomer: [reading names] chairman nolan: ms. boomer, is this being broadcast to the room? secretary boomer: yes, it is being broadcast to room 408. [reading names] chairman nolan: good afternoon. go ahead. secretary boomer: could you state your name, please? >> i have been in the cab business for 15 years. in the 15 years, and it is seen it go down and down and down. no one cares about us. you guys care about the business. the business means the cab drivers and the companies, not just the companies, not justice system. we need someone to care about us. you say that they work 10 hours a day and sleep 10 hours a day. they do not have time to sleep or go to the bathroom. they have families. they need to eat and survive, and most of the cab drivers are immigrants. we are immigrants, but we are people. we work for them. it is not just for us, because everything we worked for, we spend here. i raise my three kids here. i am so glad. i love my job. i love

we are used to doing all of that, and that makes us a stronger, more connected city, and ultimately, it is about making a city connected all the way. i'm excited that our bicycle coalition has been working with me on opening up even more of our streets as we introduce companies whose workers want to ride to work every single day. that is exciting. i want to announce today that the kickoff for our sunday streets, announcing additional ones, that we are having them every single month. there will be a sunday designated. dates will be set, and we will be adding more, so we will have a total of eight this year. we are not beating 2009. i think they have nine events. in 2008, we had, i think, six events. we are actually building upon all of our experiences, getting more people involved, different people, people of all walks of life, so thank you very much. [applause] >> as mayor lee mentioned earlier, the first event is going to be march 20, next sunday, and the venue is the central and northeast waterfront. it's communities are represented by our president of the board of supervisors, dav

can you tell us about your experience? >> there were a lot of anticipation about how people would respond. at first, we had to get in front of people to direct them from their habits. early morning, they are more into carrying their coffee and going inside of the elevator and then spilling their coffee to hit the keys. we got right in front of them, stopped them and told them exactly what they had to do. that helped out a lot. the other thing that helped were the lights in the lobby would tell them where the elevator was. a lot of these systems have not done that. we were the first to do that. the nice thing is we've got less spills in the lobby, too. you get into the elevator in the morning, and somebody is standing in front of the buttons and you cannot get to it. people are fighting each other, spilling coffee and stuff, so this works out well. once you get inside, you are going to the floor that you have already decided on the outside. it really helped traffic flow and security as well. >> would you say your experience

that is what they put us there to do but you stiffed us that is why your government lost confidence that is why we have an election and is time you showed respect for the basic institutions of the country's. >> we gave all of that affirmation to parliament and what they demanded was more documents because they said it was not correct so we gave more documents which share for the information that we have. understand there at the age where they do not want to take yes for the answer but what matters now is not the bickering that goes on but our ability to focus on what matters to them which is the economy. . . the subcommittee on water and wildlife. i want to thank senator boxer and senator inhofe. let my say that united states has much natural gas as saudi arabia has oil. the shale which runs from central new york state to west virginia maybe the second largest natural gas field in the world. we have enormous reserves that can help america meet it's energy needs or do so in a way that produces far less produce than coal, helps the united states when it's energy independence, and improves

i think the twitter proposal, as many of us may opaline, publicly or privately, has taught us that there is something very uneven and i have to say clumsy about the approach -- as many of us may opine. that is trying to do everything we can to marshal the resources to help companies day in san francisco while it threatens to leave, while at the same time, we want to see the double benefit of relocating the company took an area that is distressed. there are a number technology companies in a number of districts also claiming a similar point as twitter has, and i think many of us knew that this inevitability was just a matter of time. with the discussion that i think has been very critical for the question of overall city-wide reform that both president chiu just referenced and supervisor farrell and avalos and others have at one point or other manchin has come to its natural headwear it gives us an opportunity to laser in in the most effective way possible those limiting strategies. in my opinion, one of those strategies perhaps is why that we are submitting today, and i would like to tha

when i do use in there using police and fire and you've got corporations that are using the commons they're using our educated workforce and they're not paying taxes for it they should pay if they want to claim that their entities if they want to contribute hundreds of millions of dollars to political campaigns then they shouldn't sit around go oh but we we don't have to pay any taxes we shouldn't deny things would be much more efficient much more transparent and much more fair to have passed through treatment for corporations the same as we have for partnerships if people take action if people take a profit that should be taxed but i don't think that and to the level taxation you can't do that or we don't have fifty thousand stockholders and you know what we have publicly traded partnership with the black riders that have that tax treatment it seems to work and making twelve partners rajon their publicly traded anyone can buy into the partnership with blackstone group it's turned on the american stock exchange. pointed out that if you upper one percent of americans are now taking a

i especially would like to thank ucsf for letting us use this beautiful facility. i am honored that mayor ed lee is with us today. thank you, sir, for coming. [applause] i am equally honored to welcome department heads from some of our most important departments -- hint hint. i'm going to bother them up for all of us. it is also wonderful to see so many people from our communities here tonight. we are having this meeting because the city, as you know, faces a deficit of $300 million, and the mayor's predecessor requested that all agencies cut 10% from their budget and prepare an additional 10% cut in their contingency. this means that agencies like department children and the families come upon a public health will have to spend a lot less money to do things that they want to do throughout the city. and to help us carry out the missions of many of the organizations that are in the room today. the goal tonight is to come up with our community priorities and a vision for the district as well as the city. i want to focus the conversation on city agencies that can fund

kept us all on the field. a quick story -- when i was down earlier this year, sabs came in and said what are you doing, why are you upset? the season is not over yet. we traded for you for a reason. that picked me up. all the coaching staff, everybody, we made it happen. as you know, i grew up a dodger fan, but right now and forever it is all about the san francisco giants and our world series, baby. [applause] >> san francisco giants are world champions. i am a part of it. i cannot believe it. nine years of my life. dead last our fourth place, this organization has the hard to bring me here and give me a chance. here i am in front of you beautiful people. you deserve it just as much as i do, trust me. i have a present for you all in san francisco. i am sure all of you have heard about the rallying song. i know this is a family event, but if you have seen zoolander, i have a special talent just for you.

let's do that first and come back to the item before us. are there any members of the public that wish to speak on this item? public comment is closed. just to the item over all, just some thoughts on it. when you talked about there being a way for a proper motivation for the reserve to be maintained, the one thing is that when we first put the reserve on the table, we said we would do that to the extent that pending an update on i.t. consolidation efforts for the data center -- from everything i've heard, even though the department has been delayed and not gone the way that people thought it would, they have done everything we have asked them to do in terms of consolidation. at the new facility there are plans to do it at the airport. i believe they have met that criteria. in terms of having it reserved in place to create incentive for motivation, i think the department has demonstrated that they are delivering on the project. i do not know what further motivation could there be to lay off or spend more money, as they have done everything

my cancer was treated with a drug made using her cells and i was conceived because my parents used in vitro fertilization. there is not a person -- single person who has not benefited from a vaccine or took a drug. watching their borrowed realize that. you read the book and it is a fascinating story and at a certain point, everyone hit somewhere in the book where they go, that is made. that is one of the most incredible things is to watch everyone's individual moments where they step forward and say, how they personally benefited tavis: to your point now. everyone of us whether we know it or not has been -- benefited from her cells and research done on them. does it mean the pharmaceutical companies are flooding the foundation with grants? >> no. they're not. the grants have been from readers or individual scientist to come forward and say i used them in my research and i want to donate. no institutions or research organizations. there is a concern from than they do not want to set a precedent. if we give money to this foundation, which they see as giving money to the family although

the larger use requires conditional use in districts that are not zoned industrial. in general, what differentiates the uses is operational standards. i think taken together, the planning commission is very happy about this ordinance and how it strikes a balance between intensities and uses in various parts of the city. we are very pleased to be part of this. thank you for the inclusion of our amendment. if you have any other questions, i will answer anything regarding land use. chairperson mar: any questions? thank you so much to president chiu and ms. parton. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? we have a number of speaker cards. i am going to call them in order. the first is eli zigas from the urban agriculture alliance. thank you for the great work. 344 signed petitions. dana pearl. fred rinney from the urban agriculture alliance. karen heissler from mission pie. is eli here? two minutes per person. >> good afternoon, supervisors. thank you for having this hearing. i am co-coordinator of the urban agriculture alliance. we are a volunteer comm

alliance charlie welcome to the program to be here thanks for joining us why is the state department doing this i have no idea. this is something which one of the policy analysts a guy named edward has broken who is working who works with me discovered a few months ago and he's been doing a lot of research on and he finally got a copy of the actual form which is going to be used and that just made the hair stand up on the back of his neck and we run a website called consumer traveler where we talk about travel issues on a daily basis and edward asked if he could get something up on that so we put it up there last friday and it went viral and all of a sudden we ended up with about eighty. alison people coming to the website the number of comments going to the department of state dog jumped from about ninety two more some to somebody told me we were getting almost three thousand comments over the weekend of people be upset about this particular form and the thing that they are really upset about is fact but the form asks so many questions that any normal person in america has no idea o

you can use it in your own home. there are these platform lifts that go up the stairs, they are incline platform lifts, and under some circumstances those are acceptable to use. >> i would say the chair lift in and of itself will never work for commercial enterprise. if i was to use it, where would i put my chair? do i haul it along behind me up the steps? . >> you just can't get out of your chair without help, that wouldn't do. >> for home application they are great, but for commercial it just wouldn't work. >> here we have somebody's front door. it requires that you push down this little button as you grab and pull the thing. it's a little difficult. it's an old knob. it's got some historic value to it. i think reasonable readily achievable barrier removal might say that you adjust the mechanism so that you don't have to actually push the button down to make it work, possibly. here is a really wonderful see's candy accessible entrance. everything is right. the door has nice hardware, easy to open, it's got everythi

many of us met with the last week. i want to reiterate what a wonderful job you do as a representative of our country. we just met with ban ki-moon and expressed some of our frustration. i know that will come out later in the questions as well. we are frustrated and tired of the un using israel as a punching bag. i am hope there can be a repudiation of the goldstone report. judge goldstone himself repudiated it. i gave a speech last night the said the un repeated it as well i chaired the subcommittee on the western hemisphere. they are very chagrined at the recognition of palestine by the other countries. it becomes a disincentive for giving the palestinianto sit down and talk. they think they can just get recognized. these are some of the questions i will ask later on. i thank you personally for your good work. >> mr. schmidt from ohio is recognized. >> i just want to focus my remarks on two things. the first is the human rights council. it came into existence in 2006 to supposedly replaced the commission on human rig

>> they counted us out from the beginning. if you look at it, odds were stacked against us. i'm used to that. but my favorite was, i kno you're talking about a "new york times" story. i always laugh when they get it wrong. a friend of mine owns the newspaper and they can't wait for it to be proven true. but they'll all be gone by the time that happens. tavis: he would love that. >> a wonderful writer, he wrote a 20-page profile of us, pretty much saying we were gone, this was in the year 2000, he said this company was king of the 1990's, harvey has the sensibilities of the 1990's, but the new millennium isn't for him. they had all these guys off the record, and i could tell who they were, three weeks later, not three weeks later, we got nominated for 40 academy awards. nobody has ever even come near that, including three movies, "chicago," "the hours," "and gangs of new york," all nominated for the best film. it was like throwing a no-hitter. tavis: finally this weekend, "hoodwinked too." >> i have four daughters from eight months to 16 years old. one thing we do is go to th

which was commercial use? >> if that's what they chose to do they could do but the main thing was to get moving and put -- file an application. if that's what it lead to. commissioner walker: so this was instigated with a police department responding to a complaint? >> i believe that's true, yes. commissioner walker: this is one of those that i will probably ask the landlord. i'm trying to figure out how long this has been going on that people have been living there. i need to know that. president lee: hechanova and then romero. commissioner hechanova: of the pictures that are shown it also looks like to be an upper bunk with a ladder going up to it. and is that condition essentially a dangerous commission? >> that was typical of four of the rooms in the back of the room. when the partitions were put up, i don't know if the tenants created those but they looked pretty sturdy. it's not flimsy wood. bunk bed. a tiny loft maybe seven feet above the ground where the tenant has put mattresses on top and stored thin

i've used it. everyone i know who bought a house has used t but here's the deal. the deduction is expected to lower tax revenues by nearly $500 billion from 2010 to 2013. however, most of the benefits don't go to the middle class. so one idea -- and this came out of the fiscal commission -- is to make sure those benefits are firm there there for the middle class. that is, to set the credit as equal to 12% of interest payments up to $500 on mortgage debt on principal residence. if you buy a house that's $1 million, you still get the mortgage deduction, but it's you l. up to $500,000 in the value of the home. if you get a house 230*rdz 00,000 or $400 tho, it is not going to change the mortgage deduction at all. this proposal would save $400 billion or more over the next decade. by taking steps like this, we can lower tax rates, broaden the base, simplify the tax code, and at the same time bring down the deficit. this will benefit working families and make america more competitive in the global economy. these ideas are just a few of the ideas that i believe warrant a
