weiss is, one of the key organizers you've heard from. he opened his first pet boutique in berkeley over 10 years ago. i opened my store about seven years ago and it was only six miles from his store. not only have both our stores co-existed for seven years but i understand that the success of george's shop in berkeley helped mr. weiss open his store in 2008. there are currently two pet stores in san francisco. our market street opened almost four years ago and there has been no 39 in the number of pet-related businesses around us. our jones store opened six years ago and at that time there were three other pet stores within two miles. six years later, those stores are still in business, all three, and there are three additional pet stores that have opened. according to the pet industry, grocery stores and mass merchants such as costco and trader joe's account for approximately 25% of all the pet food sold in the country. they're our real competition. fortunately, the pet industry grows every year. in 1994, it did $19 billion and this yea

weiss' first store was a san francisco location which opened in 1995. he opened his berkeley shop in 1998. yes, they opened their first store in san francisco, but then proceeded to grow their business in suburban locations where their concept is more appropriate. so that needs to be clarified, what is san francisco. i could give more arguments for the rebuttal, but i believe each member of the board has been educated and lobbied well. therefore, i will show you the counter arguments. the question to be addressed is where does san francisco proceed from here in maintaining uniqueness, vibrancy and neighborhoods. we are here to preserve the fiber and fabric of the city, not only within our own industry, but for the other small businesses that characterize san francisco. where i believe the planning commission erred, it seems to me that the board should adhere to the preservation for small business to exist and prot perin this great city of ours. in closing, all we ask is that the board joininous doing the right thing. thank you. president chiu: colleague

you refrain from at least for many many years while driving but that it's an issue where i think it's weiss going back to any question that the states is the owner of the land is not some kind of frosty common because that will always produce those who actually is that this is a maker so one of the things that we heard this week at the dialogue the arctic dialogue several different people from several different nations including russia said there is a need for new regulations in the arctic to provide a level playing field so that with regard to environmental regulations with regard to making decisions about oil and gas resources or other natural resources that we work with the same set of rules across the board. for example if you're going to have a tanker shipping oil or iron ore across the north sea route and it goes from norwegian waters to russian waters to u.s. waters and heads off to japan you need to understand and know that that tanker will be protected and will operate with the same rules throughout the entire route and this was a common theme this week in the discussions of it lev

now, elliott weiss has been looking for work since april. it's been maybe ten interviews, maybe eight interviews, it's been a very frustrating situation. >> reporter: a single mother sums it up like this -- >> it's an employers market. if you don't have all of the experience they want, there's a million other people that can go get that. >> reporter: economists say the job growth always lags behind economic growth in a recovery. >> what we're seeing this time around is far more than a lagging indicator but sustained, long-term unemployment where half of those who are unemploymented, virtually half, have been unemployed lodger than six months. >> and unfortunately economists look like we'll have continue to have high unemployment for at least another year. >> that report on the recession says it lasted 18 months. that's longer than the recession in the '70s. the other in the '80s. >>> and today, president obama announced many americans are hurting and that the recession is far from over. but in a televised town hall- style meeting, he defende

the weiss come of a stimulus that would do what was intended for the economy and create jobs which would have put this president in a much more attractive political place. >> well i think the conventional wisdom on that is somewhat off. let me parse that into two pieces. >> charlie: do you think it's the conventional wisdom? >> i think it's a big part of the threat in the conventional wisdom story. two parts of that. first the evidence on what the recovery or the stimulus actually has done. if you look at the congressional budget office analysis of the recovery act, it suggests that somewhere between 1.5 and 4.5 percentage point impact on economic growth in the second quarter of this year. very large effects. similarly that the spendout rates that were initially aimed at that you'd get 70% of the money out by then, this fiscal year largely on track. very positive impact on employment too in the millions of additional jobs added but for the recovery act. the problem is the situation in late 2008 was much more worse than anyone know or not anyone there were some critics out there who corre

here's what clinton port i was said on the mike weiss show that's causing a stir. >> you put reporters in the logger room, seeing guys walking arnd naked. all of a sudden, you see a nice woman in the locker room. i think many would want to say something to the woman. for the woman, they're making so much -- you can't interact, you can't be involved with athletes, you can't talk to these guys, you can't interact with these guys. you put a woman -- you get a choice of 53 athletes, somebody got to be appealing to her. somebody got to be -- is she going to want somebody? i don't what kind of woman wouldn't if you go in there with 53 men. i know you're doing a job, but at the same time, i see somebody worth talking to, i'm sure they'd do the same thing. >> he should have kept his mouth shut today. he said, i was wrong to make the comments i did, and i apologize, i respect the job that all reporters , it is a tough job, and we all have to work and act in a professional manner. i understand and support the team on these issues. the redskins released a statement, they said the redskins have a
