Together rather the same way that this data is pulled together. Thank you commissioners. I want to thank commissioner melara for setting the tone on Domestic Violence and i actually wanted to say that dr. Harry edwards who is often a commentator on the media and he is a scholar and he was asked to comment on the issue of police accessive force and he really said, on terms of the racial issues that we cant even talk about racial equality until we prevent violence against women and he was asked specifically to comment on whether or not the violence accessive force was a racial issue, and so that is food for thought as you go to your conference. And i am happy with the steps that we have recognized and being on the board of Saint Francis hospital and there is a womans physician Dialogue Group and so we have had the privilege of having the doctor from ucsf as well as christie from the department of Department Health as trainers to train the Healthcare Professionals to be able to identify,
With the sociology and Harry Edwards and uc berkeley has actually said that believe that stated in the inaudible the other day that Domestic Violence is the Number One Health concern of this nation. And then, it clearly not just isolated incidents within the nfl which clearly needs to make some reforms but i think that to hear that acknowledgment is always certainly encouraging in terms of changing the publics perception, and hopefully, changing our culture, about the Domestic Violence. The questions that i have in particular with the report and again, thank you for the report. As one who actually cochaired San Francisco sensa and in the last census and i am familiar with the demographicses of the city and there is no need to belabor the consistency in terms of the major demographics and but what i do have a question, is that with regard to comparative analysis.

And if you look at the age distribution, the bars on the bottom shows that among the 18 to 24yearold group, San Francisco which is an orange has fewer women compared to the state and then at the 85 and older all the way at the top we have more than the states average.
