unacceptable for this. >> the point is use aggressive technologies when their necessary for example, if you have a central valley community that you have automatically practices that's messed up the supply then, of course, we need to use something aggressive to reclean and restore the water to its former pristine state but this is really a different situation and sierra club as support and will support a deacceleration project when it's an emergency situation. what we've got is clearly not an emergency we can clearly save 7, 8, 9 million gasoline's a day if we much more aggressively
10:01 am
produce watersheds restoration and come posting toilets. you know, we haven't begun to do those things and for us to assume the big problem is not that we're loort deacceleration but that's not on equal but we need to look at this as a last resort >> the question is using the technology as opposed to to the technicalities. i don't think that this commission as considered deacceleration from other water supply. i think that's part of the triple bottom line my consideration you fly away those considerations >> if i can - can i respond for
10:02 am
a second. i would tend to agree with the commission but often they do and commissioner torres a couple of years ago or about a year and a half ago asked to have a really robust process around the deacceleration issue and today we've had only one presentation in san francisco and one in the east bay and not had a good strong process or communication with staff to see if the deacceleration make sense and we need more information >> thanks. >> is there any other any public comment on this item as i understand madam secretary and a item 8 is the update. >> good afternoon,

of a failure and your alternative of the water supplies and plans in place locally. none of those are things that have to be done in places but because the unique and different and new nature i think it's important to ask this question specifically. their earring anticipating the answer on that. we had a good presentation from steve about the drought situation. the agencies and boss supports the call for 10 percent reduction by the puc we're seeing actions that happened immediately a couple of things we're not quite intuitive the
10:06 am
last drought predated some of the current regulations for the water sites and they're thinking about how to deal with with what you do with your process if we go into a mandatory drought situation and all those things like that are important as well as preparing the community for the reductions if they have to do that taking those drought managed plans and dusting them off so they've taken all the actions as well as increasing the message to the community about reducing the water use. and to do that it's been actually, the response is almost immediate in my office. shortly after the announcement from the puc we got several
10:07 am
calls from local schools or a water agencies to increase the messages out to community fire department's that level of activity has increased and we're anticipating to see that in all the activities around the region. we've been having discussions with our public information office so the regional campaign for drought messaging and taking the managed fund and the grants we've received to take advantage of that and the water statement was certainly a success loose time that was our recent experience. so we're looking to do & that and putting forth everything to watch things carefully and make sure we can act and encourage

>> bonnie banks. bonnie banks. my definition of noise is uncontrolled music. without format. pretty simple affair. pancakes, and you're -- people get up on sundays around noon, weekends or whatever. should not be too hard to walk into place. have your audio alarm clock go off for two hours waking your up while you are eating breakfast with many interesting visuals once in a while. improvisation. listening or not to
10:22 am
the person you're playing up against or people or machines. trying to get as many different people in as possible. different genres, experimental noise, electronics, dissonance some drums.a tiny bit of ambient -- the first noise pancake shows, 1999, the first waffle noise, 2001. god-waffle noise, noise pancake came out of cubist art, place on mission street, brutallo, where the church -- opened up
10:23 am
his house and saturday morning cartoons. a big space. you can have everybody set up and barely move equipment around; small room for an audience to move around, walkover and get pancakes without getting burned up in the kitchen. there's like people in their hard-core gabber; people into really fast death metal; black metal. people who don't listen to music at all. guy like larnie bock (sounds like) set up huge, motor
10:24 am
driven harp. i don't know how to explain it. 40 foot of motors that he had running over strings and wires. and then played each string individually with the mixer. there is a feeling of euphoria when somebody's really good at what they do. experiencing a buffer, pushing your bowels out your rear. different. a lot of noise. you don't play clubs with a cleaning schedule, a guy coming in the morning emptying the beer bottles. you play the warehouse. if you travel around you will see the exact same kind of weirdos
10:25 am
doing their own thing. it is like in the bay area it's even more absurd. there seems to be more people that in a place like new york or tokyo. we did a show in new york, i didn't think that anyone was at hardly, and people come up and said i saw the show. i wish they had some kind of breakfast noise going on over there. i think a lot of people were being, walking out of the shows. that was incredible. i can't believe it's over already, after two hours. if you are reluctant to enjoy something like this it will probably take a mass of peers to sell you on it.
10:26 am
it's fine if you stay away. most of the people that come to the shows are pretty happy to be here. you may not be one of them. which is fine. ♪ ? an incredible program because we take regular kids teach them the love of the game. we have no emphasis on winning we only have an emphasis on learning and trying as hard as they can that's it and the chips fall where they may. when students leave our program whether or not adults or kids they'll have a mechanical understanding of what they have.
