he wanted to let me know about an assignment that he was given yesterday. they have a conventional 1004 appraisal for a property in georgia. it is in georgia and not in florida. if you're interested in working with us on this and future appraisal, please reply to this e-mail with your estimated turn time and fee. this appraiser is licensed, actually certified in florida. not in georgia. that is an example. i don't know how many appraisers in florida received the same e-mail. that is the primary driver of a lot of amcs determination as to who gets the assignment. the turn time and the fee. no question here whether or not he even is certified in georgia or what his qualifications are and whether or not he's a designated appraiser. >> the problem with that and i do like appraisers. i'm not impugning anybody. don't anybody mischaracterize what i'm saying. everyone is shopping for business. when a lender receives an estimate from this appraiser that says we'll do it for this amount and lender says that's a good deal. doesn't matter if you're hundred miles away.

given your work with our minority contractors. i appreciate your perspective and and candor and your consistency and your work in the city. i am happy to support this motion and we can do that without opposition. do we have a motion to refer this as a committee? >> i am looking at the agenda. supervisor kim: it will be heard on tuesday, july 31. we can do this without opposition. thank you. can you please call item number 4? >> motion approving/rejecting the mayor's appointment of cabinet -- kevin cheng to the board of appeals for the term ending july 1, 2016. supervisor kim: we received notice yesterday afternoon that the mayor has withdrawn this appointment. colleagues, can we entertain a motion to continue this motion to the call of the chair? we do need to open up for public comment on this. two minutes. >> good afternoon. i am a san francisco resident. i am pleased to hear that this appointment has been withdrawn by the mayor's office. i think he received considerable information. it would be a very inappropriate to have some

this reading given two minutes. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am the executive director of the library users association. i am pleased to say the library has now discovered it is subject to the california art preservation act, and has formally sent a letter, dated june 29, to the sister of the muralist, williams, who is his executor, and under the law is to be given written notice of the planned removal, so that she can arrange to have its save by removing it or herself removing it. there was a passionate believer in keeping all three sites of the branch library merrill, which the library and the city want to point out. it features working women, children, the u.n. at symbol, and history, all of which will be gone from the planned replacement. that was originally part of the community process that supervisor campos set up jointly in a letter with the mayor, and which we have had serious problems with. when we tried to find agendas, minutes, public meeting announcements, or recorded votes, we found

we don't have bilingual staff available to cover a given need. we do have a number of bilingual staff in the controller's office, mandarin and spanish being the majority of people that are available for the public to speak with. i would be happy to answer any questions. supervisor chu: just a question on the status of the budget analyst recommendation. >> apologies. we continue to work with the budget analysts. we are not yet in agreement. we look forward to working together during the week ahead. we can report to you next week on our progress. supervisor chu: thank you. >> our recommended reductions total $693,860 and $455,000 are ongoing. $230,000 are one-time savings. these recommendations would allow an increase of $35,000, 1/10 of 1%. those are general fund savings. are recommended reductions total $516,000. it would allow for an increase of over $1 million. the recommendations will result in five under $16,425 in general fund savings -- $516,425. supervisor chu: think government. will you be speaking to the general responsibility item? can

given the issues that were brought forth, i am supportive of the concept of the gate. the qualifier is that date has to be accessible and it has to be per code for exiting purposes. if you look at the photos at the building in process, there are stairs immediately behind it. this building at best is probably accessible only through the lower level. i do not know of the elevator goes down to the lower level. from the street axis point of view, it appears the street is at the cusp of a percentage of wet iraq would be for accessibility. however, -- what a ramp would be for accessibility. there should be allowable access and it has to conform to the code. i am supportive of the concept of trying to the gate and see if it reduces some of the problems. >> i would agree. we're trying to solve the two issues. the ability of residents to get in and out of that gate and use that entry and there were letters in the package from residents talking about the problems in the alley. i would be supportive of conditioning the permit making it accessible from and ada standpoint as well a

we have given them the best chance we can. now we begin to transition down because ultimately sovereignty will trump. no one has ever been able to militarily control afghanistan in the history of that country. we will not be the first. president obama was very realistic about the direction we need to go now. i do not know the exact number, but i hope it's lower than 68,000. >> five minutes remained in our conversation with adam smith from washington state, the ranking democrat on the house arms services committee. jeremy herb from "the hill." >> we hear talk about how dangerous it would be a thing got nuclear weapons. we have also heard from the the joint chiefs, general dempsey, that they are acting rationally on the international stage. do you think iran is as dangerous as advertised? >> yes. both of those statements can be true. there are a lot of rational actors in the world were very dangerous. where iran is concerned, part of their effort is projecting power. they view themselves as an original power. they are involved i

and given the boot. instead jim rogers, the chairman and ceo of the old duke energy who was supposed to be chairman of the new duke will now be both the chairman and ceo. it's not the munich beer hall push of '23, unlike the leaders, rogers was successful and doesn't share the genocidal tendencies. it's not some piddly human resource issue. a former member of progress energy's board of directors called the move, quote, the most blatant example of corporate deceit i have witnessed during a long career on wall street. and added one of the greatest corporate hijackings in u.s. business history. this is lousy corporate governance. it has real consequences. standard & poors has said it might cut duke's credit rating. the north carolina utilities commission has started an investigation into the move, and north carolina's attorney general is looking into whether consumers were misled about the merger. so what does this sordid tale mean for the stock? i am outraged by what happened here. it's horrendous, a total

i want to thank members on both sides of the public who have given testimony. the kids who have been here. it is very late. hopefully, they are in bed now. there is a lot of passion about our parks. i really feel that i had been clinging to the part of golden gate park remaining a grasp park. that is something that i feel really strongly about. seeing the changes to the park that are inevitable, it is very hard to see that change going to turf. it seems like that is where the votes are. i was the director of a midnight soccer program. that was back in 1995. i really see the value of having soccer as an available recreation activity for young people. i believe that the decision we have today is expanding the opportunity for those of us in the city. i see that as a great good. i have talked to numerous people in my community and my community of parents with kids. soccer parents, dads and moms. it is unbelievable, the need for greater recreation opportunities. i do see a loss in what golden gate community should be like. i believe that will create a glow over the

i ask you, sir, given the basic laws of supply and demand, that's what economists would call a ( bleep ) load of footnotes where for me the demand is very, very little. ( laughter ). >> the supply was very great. >> jon: what drives you to write this book? >> inequality has really become one of the major problems facing our country. i don't know if most americans realize that we have become the most unequal of all the advanced industrial countries, and we've become the country of among the advanced industrial countries with the least equality of opportunity, so different from our myth of the american dream. >> jon: there are two things in there-- equality of opportunity versus equality of wealth. some would argue that equality of opportunity more important because the ability to reach that, we had a guy on the show, ed connard of bain capital who had written a book saying we don't have enough inequality because it will drive the people with less to want more if they know the carried interest rate would be 15%. >> and they got lower taxes. >> jon: exactly. so is there not-- what do we n

given how much most semiconductor companies have slow growth. this might be a homerun hitter that isn't going to flame out in the stretch although i'm sure it will be weak tomorrow. last and maybe least is a controversial stock. pharmacyclics. it's done 296% year to date on the strength of a drug that treats chronic lymphocytic leukemia. that's a fatal blood cancer. the company's drug abrutanin is compared to revlomid and glevek. i'm skeptical. you have to be. given how the drug is early in the trials and a lot of people are betting against it. why else are the shorts gunning for this one? how about the fact that it's been around since 1996 with little to show for it. the company has been burning through crash. considering how long it takes to deliver new drugs that's not a good sign and the patient population for this particular form of leukemia is much smaller than those the big block busters address. that said, it's up to you, not me, to anoint the homerun derby winner. omitting this star would be a hideous injustice to the process. here's th

ann romney reinforced her husband's refusal to make more of his tax returns public. >> we've given all you people need to know and understand about our financial situation and how we live our life. >> she said her family 10% of their income to the mormon church and he did not take a salary as massachusetts's governor. she says being diagnosed 14 years ago with multiple sclerosis was her darkest hour. >> it wasn't just the feeling, it is the unknown where is this taking me how long is this going to go on is it going to drag me down so much i have nothing left in life? >> romney says she found value in life again during her therapy with the help of family and friends. >>> president obama started two days of campaigning in florida one of the major battleground states. the president departed washington this morning and is hold ago event now jacksonville, florida. he will be in west palm beach trying to win over vets, seniors and independent voters. morgan freeman announced he's given one million dollars to a political action committee to help reelect president obama. steven spielberg has a

when confronted about the fed's handling of monetary policy and the possibility that congress being given the authority to audit f o m c decisions he said this. the nightmare scenario i have is one in which some future fed chairman would decide to say to raise the federal funds rate by twenty five basis point and somebody in this room would say i don't like that decision. rude this is in response of course to ron paul's audit the fed bill i should add we'll talk to lou rockwell of the ludwig von mises institute about what he thinks plus previously undisclosed letters from peregrine financial group c.e.o.'s come out according to the wall street journal the c.e.o. said in the notes deceiving regulators was relatively simple allowing him to of course embezzle customer money undetected for two decades he also called those regulators means there it will talk about it plus timothy geithner answered questions about his knowledge of eliab or and response to this reason why bore i'm reluctant to call it a scramble boehner call it a large bore laughs. oh just just a lie bore a laugh well when you'r

half a million was put on reserve and half a million was given to us. of that, $380,000 -- there has been $380,000 worth of grants to small businesses approved by working solutions. none of them have been funded because we have not got the money to them. that actually happened last week. there has been a lot of activity with screening at approving loans. the money should go out or in one day -- in one big tranch. with the other money that will be revolving, it should be enough for the next two fiscal years. what we would propose for the remaining $4 million in proposed budget for loans, we propose to be allocated much differently, to actually hit businesses across a larger spectrum, including grants for compliance construction work and tenant improvement and forgivable loan for tenant improvements where a business stays in operation for between three and five-year spending of love. the other day this businesses that need loans larger than $50,000. we would look for community lenders for that program to find a lender that would hopefully leverage the mon

it would be great if it were but i think realistically given where we were and given the political gridlock this president has face, it is a tough call. >> suarez: but given all of these things that you just said, he's got to make the case that the next four years would be materially different from the last three. and is he making that case, can he say that yes, if you choose me again it's going to be very different from the way it is now when i'm already president. >> i think he does have to make that case. and i think he can. but he can't do it alone. one of the things the president said today in a speech he gave in ohio struck me. he said we've got good answers. but we're facing a stalemate in congress. even right now as we speak there are good ideas that would help offset, for example, that public sector job contraction. 14,000 jobs last month in june, educators lost their jobs at the local level. a lot of those folks are teachers. and when people show up for their classrooms those classroom grsing to be too big in many cases. this is a problem we could fix. borrowing costs are very low
