this costs us money and time, and we realliment you to use -- really want you to use our data better. fair point. how do we recognize and reconcile all the data we get from manifest sub fissions, entry submissions, and target effectively off that data? that's going to be a challenge. we spent, frankly, three months working on it working very closely with the organization itself and some additional subject matter experts from the trade, and we couldn't come to a set of options that really provided value to cbp or the trade. we're back at the drawing board. stay tuned on that. we're also looking at testing better ways. is it the right data? do we know enough about your supply chain to be able to essentially negate compliant low risk importers? if i know who your manufacturer is, your carrier, your broker, wear house, -- warehouse, ect., ect., ect., and i see that pattern and am comfortable with the pattern of moving goods, i shouldn't be looking at you. if i see a manufacturer that i know is not one of yours and you're producing a protected good, i should be looking at that, so we need

let us use this lifetime opportunity to encourage all to enjoy the activity of sailing. we have an opportunity to host the world oldest trophy sport in our own city. i urge you to support the america's cup in san francisco. supervisor mirkarimi: next speaker, please. >> i am a lifelong san francisco resident. i am here to support the host city agreement. i recently read in "the garden," and a fellow supervisor spoke to the two-threshold test for voting for the america's cup. is it is a good deal -- is it a good deal for san francisco? is it the best deal? the first threshold makes sense. i believe it is a good deal for san francisco. especially the northern waterfront option and the new protections guarantees suggested by supervisor chu. the second notion that this needs to be the best option seems misplaced. it is unknowable. as in poker, you have to put your money in before you can see the other players' cards. the only way to know if you got the best deal possible is if mr. allison walked away from the deal. -- if mr. ellison walked away from the deal. secondly, other

. >> sam stein with the huffingtonpost.com beat use book about the use of the filibuster by you stopped short of endorsing the one proposal out there by senator tom udall to revamp the rules of the senate. i wonder if you're planning on signing on to the proposal and when you think is the landscape for achieving the reform on january 24th. >> it's quick to be very strong. i do support that 3 >> it's quick to be very strong. i do support that proposal for the basics of the proposal. i think we want to protect the rights of the minority, the founding fathers envisioned in the constitution and i think it is critical to do it. what goes around, comes around, and clearly having been on the minority i understand that power. but we have to find a way to guarantee that as i said, it is being used not as a day to day tactic that has no accountability but that it is being used in a way that in cages the nation in a legitimate debate about something substantive, and as long as that takes place, i think it is a fair place to have that kind of fiscal if you will to try to find the way to get the 60

the city is a mixed use city. the city is a mixed social in come conglomerate, and that is part of its strength. it helps to increase livability for all. what i felt was missing in staff report was what mr. speer described to us, that there was an attempt to do the right thing, and i would actually ask him to come back one more time and describe in more detail how he is intending to do that. he briefly touched on this, but there might be more. perhaps the project sponsor could describe that to us because i would like to avoid giving the development community the impression that we are easily bendable went on-site inclusion areas promised, only to come back and change it. in this particular case, i think mr. spears is offering a novelty approach. i would like you, if you would not mind, spending a couple of minutes to describe that for all of us. >> thanks, commissioner moore. i'm involved with another site that works, and it is well within a mile of the principal project. again, i understand the desire, but i feel

we've let go of people who are not there for both of us and find friends who benefit us both. translator: technology is changing so rapidly, everything soon will be running on braille. the large-print format we have now is not practical for small portable devices, which, in turn, means i realize i'll need to transition to braille because everything is so small. handheld gps systems are just one example. gps would be wonderful while i'm traveling, but the printout would be in braille, and i would have to learn how to use braille. with changing technology, smaller devices like that don't have the capacity for large print. they can only show one letter at a time. it would take forever to read one word. i know that won't work, so when you project out 5 to 10 years, the new technologies will challenge me to become fluent in braille, as well. narrator: technology is rapidly changing the way we all live our lives. so, too, medical research is changing the way we view and treat disease. with all this progress, what does the future hold for those who have usher syndrome? this is going

and this will allow us and aid us in our recovery should a natural disaster strike. i will start with just moving forward kind of taking us through some of the challenges of broodmoore but it's the lessons that broadmoore neighbors we learnd and possibly share them with you to help you prepare and to build your own capacity should disaster strike much the broadmoore community we are 151 square blocks. centrally located. the circle is circled around broadmoore. we are in the heart of new orleans. it's a diverse community a microcosim of new orleans. home to 7,000 residents prekatrina and 66 percent of our homeowners have returned. we have 2400 properties in the neighborhood and we are leading the city in recovery. because of our organization being together predisaster it really had aided us in our recovery post. being one of the first neighborhoods to release a redevelopment plan for community in july of 2006. and we started planning in january of 2006. really about 7 months of real planning. but the message here is that we can start or you can really start your plann

they care about us and communicate with us a lot. so, those are some of the few tools. we do things we have low income housing projects in our neighborhood as well. we have done family pot lucks events. until i got involved you don't realize how easy it is to do something to just organ event. create a flyer and set a date tell people about it. it's not that tough. we are doing you are all invited if you have kids. i just started a kids dance party at palang lounge. we are fortunate to have the new top 10 clubs in the neighborhood. we know the owner and pitched the idea of just letting the neighborhood invite the families and let the kids come and dance for 3 hours. noon-3 o'clock this sunday september ninth, tomorrow. that was something we came up with. we created a flyer and posted it. last party we had over 30 families there that was the first one this one we're xching a lot more people. we also organize holiday parties. we have a halloween party. kids are a great way to build community because everybody loves kids for the most part. you know, even the bad kids are go

in places like kenya they're using s.m.s., they're using phone credits. so all these markets have their own technologies to pay for things and exchange value so we need to make sure that square can accept every form of payment that is in the payers' pocket. in the u.s. it's the credit card. >> rose: and how do you divide your time between square and twitter? >> i have a really fortunate situation. i'm now in the midst of i think two of the great et cetera companies in the world. i'm chairman of the board of twitter so i go in when i'm needed, i point out what i think is moving, what technologies are interesting, things we may need to fix and things that we're doing really well at. and when i'm not needed i get out of the way. >> rose: and how did twitter get started? >> twitter has a long story. i've always been fascinated by cities and how they work and i thought myself how to program so i can understand how the city works. >> rose: you taught yourself to program so you could understand how cities work? >> i wanted to visualize them. i wanted to see them
