when they are not used they can be used for commercial use. >> so access, but not necessarily devotion. >> yes. that will work well. it will get public safety users access to more commercial equipment. as long as it is in the right range, the equipment is built for you to use on a tablet. they can use the same tablet and lower the cost for them. that is going to be a critical thing. >> in washington, the issue has been -- your viewpoint is that regardless of how it turns out, your chips will be in whatever equipment is used. they will probably use commercial devices and your chips will be in there. is that an accurate statement to make? >> i think it is going in a reasonable fashion right now. we do not need to inject ourselves so deeply into that debate. they can run on different technologies. there has been that debate. does the government need to mandate a particular technology for this or not? the chips will take care of that. it is the number of bands that cause the added cost. i think what we really want to see is a road block. we want to get the spectrum on the market. we know t

commercial uses. we identified 115 mhz that we are recommending for the allocation. that can be done within the next five years. it is a down payment on the thigh and under that archibald. >> here to help us buy into some of the issues is lynn stanton. >> the report identified mhz to be considered. it is a less -- it is less than 1/3 of the federal spectrum. does that indicate what you will end up with in terms of finding the 500? do you think 1/3 will come from federal? >> i think it is too soon to predict that. there are industries in the 755 to 780 range. that is what we have tried to identify in our fast track. there is equipment to operate at band. there is commercial mobile use. that is a band we will be focusing on as one of our first priorities as we go forward with the 10-year plan. each band will be look at and we will determine its characteristics and its suitability for commercial use. the current federal uses will be look at it if we want to relocate those uses and if there is an opportun

they will give us a demonstration of how the machines work, and they will give us cards from the new gates. we will come back and use the clipper cards on the new fare gates. >> hi. thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me. >> i don't want to follow eric schmidt. my job is to welcome you to this wacky place i call home, san francisco. a city that prides itself on the cutting edge of new ideas. you are home to the birthplace of live science and i bet half of you forgot the united nations was founded in the city and county of san francisco. to make this point -- what makes us a special place is the capacity to live and propser together over every difference. that is the economic paradigm that makes this city so vibrant and me so optimistic. it used to be that a company would open up and everybody would move to that city. now, companies go to where the talent is. the paradigm and efforts in san francisco create the conditions where people, regardless of race, religion, rich, poor, and regardless of their sexual orientation come here to live their lives in a way that is fully

not so good words to use. for example, we want to talk about recovery, we don't want to talk about addiction. addiction is where people are stuck in the problem. recovery is where people get into the solution and that's what it's all about, giving people hope and healing and a new way of life. some of the main questions that we receive is, what kind of training is this, you know? and when you say, media message training, that means that if the media... put a microphone and camera to my face and say, joe, i heard that you used drugs and alcohol before. and who are you? and how do i respond to the media and how do i respond to where the community and the public can know that the benefits of long-term recovery? i think the main message there is that people in long-term recovery can move onto advocate for people with addictions and people to also get long-term recovery like they did. the message is real clear that the benefits of recovery, it works, and that's a reality for many people that's in recovery today. lu

while most youth who use, do use alcohol, marijuana runs a pretty close second with high use in marijuana. but probably the most rapidly growing segment of new use is in the prescription drug area with high increasing numbers of new users coming into the system who've used prescription drugs and normally getting it from a relative or from friends. and inhalants may be a problem as well? inhalants is a problem at younger ages more so than at the older ages. we see a higher use of inhalants with the 13- to 17-year-olds than with the 18- to 24-year-old. and the challenge with inhalants is that they're more readily available. they're in the homes, so. gateway-type drug to using other things, eventually. monique, what are some of the factors that really place a youth at risk? well i think factors that place the youth at risk for using substances include underlying mental health issues. i think that environmental factors play an important role if they're in a community that is highly supportive of use. maybe at home there's using going on. i think that those are some really big contributing fac

so why are you saying that i can't use substance abuser, i've used it all the time? what's wrong with that? and i think that we have to recognize that and then we do have to do a lot of presentations, a lot of discussions like this and, and i really appreciate the fact that samhsa is supporting this new language. even within and i have to admit, even within our own agency, mean our, our team in the consumer affairs office, checks you know many, many materials that are going to be put out and sometimes it's even internally, it's very difficult to keep everyone on a straight and narrow path of using. daphne was involved with us at one point in, in creating a document that is still out in draft, related to language and that people are using now. do you remember that daphne? i do remember and it was based a lot on the work of william white, who has written so much on language and the rhetoric of recovery, and what words keep us stuck and what words move us for, forward. for exam, example, the issue of relapse. we talk about relapse and in other illnesses, we might talk a

are going to build, use the property however they are going to use it. the condition of approval, unless the planning commission specifically put in deadlines for when certain been cut to be completed by -- it is all within that three year window. however, in the case of clear wire, to back up -- with the 2008 team mobile -- tmobile conditional use, the owner was required to do certain things -- to legalize all the antennas, to do landscaping and improvements. they pulled the permit to do the landscaping. they pulled it as it was issued. the department may not have started construction, but the building permit has an expiration. as well. in terms of the clear wire one, assuming this was not appealed and that a cu was issued, they still have to file a building permit to install these antennas. what we do at that time is double check the original conditional use and make sure that all of that would actively be taken care of, and we would hold the building permit. i spoke to the zoning administrator about that yesterday. we would hold the building permit fo

so refer to things that people will use. to go back if in whatever the it it gave chinese company mr lavrov what albeit the russians are further it steps in response do you need provocative steps taken by talk you're going to move. you know senior militants and we want to develop our a corporation with japan in every way possible mind you we are not taking any steps or slows routes that might the course of the missions to disrupt should discard ration michigan you know we expect our japanese partners to do the same and schools that we've built and you must stop creating artificial hindrances for our mutual cooperation by humans. minister sergey lavrov just just wrapping up a news conference with nato chief. in moscow here they touched upon a raft of issues including joint missile defense or at least the possibility of it cooperation in afghanistan of course the recent diplomatic row with japan was also brought up. foreign minister lavrov did say that the upcoming nato russia summit in lisbon to happen at the end of this mont

brigadier yuri suggestion is one of us. next in the fight lamenting the system of public services will soon be special to social services and you can you actually think noncommercial which of two companies should be moving at all that is very even more aware of the situation on the ground more than the authorities so that they can help people entering which in many cases it can use so i think noncommercial organisations can really do long in providing social services used to make them a lot more and he started to be more specific and this will also decrease eruption a movement that i would think we should support but of action with your next in goal of a whole new. government authorities shoot them and that what she's about to give you that they will do to prepare in the right year for selecting noncommercial obese patients those that are really trusted white people. and there are those that are not new that have you know with you for some time you were there based on their b.s.a. shows that have accumulated that i was a pe

use. clear wire, by contrast, has no existing facilities in bernal heights park and is proposing a new citywide utility system. a class 3 exemption is limited to the installation of small new equipment and facilities and small structures. the 50-foot tall telecommunications tower in bernal heights park does not qualify as a small structure. a class 11 exemption does not apply to tilts like clear wire and is limited to minor structures that are accessory to existing facilities. commission erred because in this case there are relatively small facilities, clear wire's 5.5 point antenac attach to a major large structure, the 50 foot tower in bernal heights park. as previously noted, even if clear wire's project is determined to meet any or all of these three exemptions, the cumulative impact and significant effect exceptions to these exemptions apply and clear wire's project as much undergo environmental review per seekwa. for these and the reasons previously submitted to the board, the planni

under the so-called flexibility, the state allows us to use the money to back fill schoolteachers more core activities that we said we have lost funding for. i know the resources that remain are limited, yet we have still some small amount, or i do not know exactly how much, although i can see some listed in the tier 3 list of formerly restricted professional development money being spent that way. we have mostly federal resources like are being referred to in a number of contract we have tonight. that is one of the things i want to see. as much as we can say, i do not need the specific amount, but generally what do we have left from what resources to target and strategically focus on our academic goals and other kinds of professional development? i have not seen that, not even a summary of professional development resources. i severed this just so i could ask for that again and hopefully get some updates on some of the status of that, if it is taking place at all. >> we can certainly provide that for you, and it will take a very long time to do. as you have said, the resources are muc

it helps people in the community, and you will need us. one way or another, you all need us. we also know the definition of a dispensary has nothing to do with giving away free product, so again, this is another bill attempts to disband us which will also go up in smoke. the end of the story. thank you. >> thank you. commissioners, we have exceeded the 15-minute time. president miguel: public, is closed for this portion of the calendar. a public comment will be available at the end of the calendar. vice president olague: yeah, at some point, sooner than later, i would like to request some clarity on some of these issues. i think would be best if it was done in a public forum, because there might be some information that needs to be clarified on all sides. i know the department of public health had an opinion that might somehow differ from the planning department, even though we're dealing with a similar issue, so it might be good to have everyone here, maybe even and fight dph to get the discussion -- maybe even and fight dph to get everyone involved. i know that i have heard

first of all, i want to thank god for putting us in this situation and blessed us the way he has. i want to thank my family, my wife and

helpful in helping us focus on what is in front of us, and both of the things in front of us are appropriate. >> i will second those two items. >> i wish this were public utilities committee land, but i feel this is out of our jurisdiction and this is a rec and parks decision. it is their land, and they are going to deal with some big issues, and perhaps there is some way this commission can weigh in. i am interested to make sure they do the right thing, and there is another opportunity around climate change and endangered species, and i am hoping they bring in the appropriate people to advise them on what to do about the endangered species issue. it does seem like one final question is this question, because i was surprised by the comments last time that in the eaves and the future of the park has changed in the 10-year term, it would then be incumbent upon rec and parks or north county to say it is now going to be a wet land, so we are going to redirect and pay the cost. how would that work? >> i felt like my comments were misconstrued. the point i was trying to make about alternative uses

the us wanted to use the g twenty to push china further but it had to explain its actions instead it's what a leading global currency. tells r.t. the us was really looking for the g twenty to be a forum to continue to pressure china and to have you know more unified front against china and asian currencies current account surplus countries. from from the rest of the world and what it actually ended up turning into was that the us had to go in there and do the tables were turned that the us actually had to explain its own behavior to a whole host of countries and the chinese i think were pretty adept at turning this around and there were a lot of other countries who didn't mind actually turning the tables a little bit on the us and saying ok well why don't you guys explain what you're dealing with with the fed before your country before you start kind of throwing stones at us. russia's finance minister agrees that china should become more flexible as monetary policy but says the changes shouldn't be rushed or bring you alexei kudrin the interview in fifteen minutes time it's also online

i am going to ask the public to be patient with us on the restorative justice monies that we are using. and i would like to also noted that it is not the entire amount of violence prevention funds that were allocated previous years. 911,000 was put to violence prevention funds the previous year, and this year to restore to justice money was cut by close to -- this year the restorative justice money was cut by about 300,000. so i think that when we look at where the money is being spent and how it is being spent, i think what the board really wants to know is -- is this really having an impact? and what impact is it really having in our students' life? we can do quantitated numbers about how many we serve, but we are also looking for that qualitative -- what are the measures we can use that really show impact? i think what you put in your report today about a lot of experiences, and the voices of people on school sites that are serving, the parents, and the students, that is a type of very voluble information that we really love to hear, and i think the public likes to hear, too. the mo

i grew up in a pentecostal church and i still believe that so many of us use our faith, we use the bible as a crutch and it doesn't allow us to -- to oftentimes think for ourselves, doesn't allow us to explore. we get stuck in this space although i believe in the living god. my personal opinion. we get stuck in the space. i think i hear what you're saying. question don't move beyond and learn and wrestle w-a explore more. is that you're saying? >> that's exactly right. we don't ask the good questions about the stories in the bible. for one thing, this is something that i discovering recently, most -- moses is not -- there is no -- there was no moses. moses was actually an egypt's pharaoh as was solomon. all of the stories were rehashed. stories been taken out of egyptian history, rehashed and they're sold to us as stories about israel. this is not the truth. it is my opinion. all i'm sighing, is we need to do the research. you know, i -- i -- i have to say, i believe that jesus existed but i pleeven that -- we spend too much, we're too preoccupied with him. there's so much about our own

to interfere in our waters you want us to pay for your military budget to threaten us to make us do what you want us to do you must be crazy what leverage does the us even have it's the largest debtor nation in the world china is the largest creditor nation in the world the us relies on china to finance its fourteen trillion dollar debt how does president obama have any left bridge well that's the problem obama doesn't really have any leverage at all because he needs the favor from china and from other countries from brazil from . russia from india saying please accept our ious our paper dollars even though we have no way of paying for it and even though we can never pay off these steps please accept them and let us buy out your real estate and your companies with dollars that will never repay that's what he's asking for there is not very much leverage in that position and when the question is how you can wrap it in a nice way and america can talk let's about talk about how we can have equilibrium in other countries can say you're not in equilibrium yourself you america are the caus

of course between us on the topic of iran came up and it's very important to both of us russia did do its part that at the u.n. meeting. that the iranian government received a very clear message from russia and iranian leadership. did understand that nuclear energy can only use it for some civilian use and has to abandon its nuclear weapon program and has to corporate with the international institutions and now if there are more talks if there are signs for more talks we hope that from these scientists. there will be a willingness to actually sit down and talk. and we are very interested in that new discussions will take place and that there will be productive and will have substance and we hope very much that this will happen in november that is our political goal. which talked about many questions of bilateral relations from visa the visa regime to cultural corporation and you have now the chance to. to ask us about that and i would like to stress again that it is a very good cooperation with russia and not just political relations but also personal relations and it's an atmosphere

so of course, as we pointed out, none of us used this product today. here is a run down of my beauty routine, some of the things i was supposed to, 40 hormone chemicals, 17 carcinogens, 17 penetration chemicals. they draw others more deeply into the property. 16 toxins, less than 50 percent of my chemicals has been assessed by any publically accountable institutions. there are no government requirements for us to understand these chemicals. we have a lot of information about some of them. most of them have never been -- the combined mixtures of a developing teenager saying day after day year after year. there is a lot we don't know. what do know there is a tremendous amount of scientific evidence that showing low doses of chemical exposures can interfere with hormones, change the way our genomes for diseases that come down the long. most important time of development in the womb, teenagers developing. we also know that disease chronic disease is meaning chemicals are on the rise, breast cancers. who knows a young cancer or family member that has breast

the memo states that the individual accounts to not account for individual water use, land-use planning, and water decisions by an individual customer. we respectfully disagree with that statement. the isg has influenced everything that has happened with land use in paulo alto since 1984. the perpetual rights of each of these agencies -- especially based on subjective issues. this is an interpretation of what constitutes good water yes. however, we recognize the nature of this and it will cease to exist after 2018. we empathize with the commission of the commission -- the position of the commission. there are several issues that cannot be ignored. in the second draft isa proposal, this is below our isg. the surplus, the difference between the isg and isa is re- allocated and we are supporting a reassessment for agencies with contract rights to recieve recognition of those rights. >> can you read the last part -- about if you support the reaoolocation of -- reallocation of the isg? >> paulo alto supports reassessing how they allocate the surplus, the difference between the isg and isa so

they did support us in oversight. the automatic fare collection program, the project utilize two contractors. ours was the one that did all the infrastructure to get all of the old gates disconnected to get our systems and infrastructure preparations done. that is on track at about two and a half million dollars. the second contractor that is utilized for the installation is cubic. they perform the installation of the fare gates, the ticket vending machines, both displays for the subway stations. that contract value is roughly at $90 million. the demolition and infrastructure preparations began earlier this year and were substantially completed in july. equipment installations began on august 2 and were substantially completed earlier this month. just a point of clarification, i think there was a lot of information in the media about the program cost being $30 million. i believe the publication or directing the cost at cubic. if you the contract is $90 million. the overall program to install the infrastructure is roug

bring us more on this slide later in the. now to the us where president obama's party has lost control of a congress in the midterm elections. democrats have managed to retain a majority in the senate the house of representatives is now in the hands of the republicans with congress divided between the two parties it would make it much harder for a bomber to come forward with his legislative agenda many voters have other concerns they're worried about the corporate bankrolling of candidates the vast amounts of campaign cash was poured into these elections a spokesman for the u.s. green party says the runaway spending is detrimental to the country's political system. of the important thing to point out is that that money comes from corporations and corporate money has poisoned our democracy but the real problem is an election system that is rigged against us in several ways there are state laws regarding ballot access that democrats and republicans have passed together to privilege themselves to privilege their own candidates w
