that is something the new plan provides. the new mason street plaza will allow us to strengthen the visual connections between the library and the park and to allow users to use both the park and the library freely, and be able to pass freely between both facilities, and provides a new passive seeking space in north beach, which currently does not have one. the two-story library design shall accommodate the increased collections and public service functions for the library, and a community meeting room and after our space on the second floor. these are all facilities the community have repeatedly asked for. we can provide them together. in terms of the street vacation, it will be conditional. it will not go into effect until the city is ready to build a new library. until that time, mason street will remain as a publicly dedicated street. in addition, at the time of dedication, jurisdiction of the street will be transferred to the recreation and parks department. this will preserve the area for recreation and park purposes. w

i just recently went to a which you were called new providence. the pastor stole money from the church. because faith base side a waste. >> do we have time for one more question? >> this question is specifically first young lady. once there's an act of violence. what do you think the resources are? if they are bad? how can they be improved? i think that's very important. kids need to have somebody to respond to them >> the resources in the school? >> yes. in your schools. >> well for violence, i mean there's not. we have security and stuff like that. there's no real resources in the school. the teachers don't do nothing about it. that's basically it. or they send us straight to juvenile. >> one more. >> she waited a long time. so it's okay. >> my question, that i was one of the providers that went to the probation call in and i think it was an excellent program. i took a music program up there and 36 of your people there signed and i like to hope you will respond to those people that called in. >> great. >> okay. and the other question, is on the

"network" his satirical take on television news, provided one of hollywood's most-repeated lines-- >>ing to take this anymore! >> reporter: born in 1924, lumet entered show business as a child actor, but his real talent was behind the camera. over 50 years he directed more than 40 films including "serpico" "murder on the orient express" "the morning after" and his last movie 2007's "before the devil knows you're dead." lumet's personal life was tumultuous. in 1980, he married his fourth wife, mary gimbel be a marriage that lasted until he died. in a notoriously spendthrift industry, lumet stood out for bringing in his movies underschedule and under budget. he lived and breathed new york city, the setting of many of his films. >> there's a certain world that i know very well, and that is that world. i know street life. >> reporter: lumet never wanted to live in hollywood, which some thought is one of the reasons he never won an oscar until the academy finally gave him an honorary oscar in 2005 for lifetime achievement. sidney lumet was 86. terry mccarthy, cbs news, hollywood. >> mitche

now, a new study provides new insight into the food cravings and the human brain.ryn alfonsi. >> reporter: the pictures of a cute, chubby kid only tell part of the story. michael pregnanter said he didn't just overeat. >> i was stealing to get food. and money to get food. there was never really enough for me. >> reporter: now, a new study reveals why some of us can't stop eating. it's not willpower. it's a real addiction. and it has to do with the way our brains are wired. first, researchers asked women a series of questions. do they feel sluggish, anxious or withdrawn about food? then, they were shown a picture of a chocolate milk shake. when a healthy woman saw it, a part of the brain that deals with anticipation, does not respond. the picture does not trigger any craving. but when a food addict saw the picture, that part of the brain lights up. they have to have it. craving it like a drug. then, the women were given an actual taste of the milk shake. with normal women, the part of the brain that shows you're satiated, lights up. they fill fulfilled. doctors say

providers are part of that campaign already. the municipal water district when jarrod hudson was the first to sign up for that from a new system provider. i think it's a real opportunity for water to step up in that. there are folks from the santa clara valley, looking at a range of local variabilities with climate change being one of those. in both of those areas - and those are a couple of very few examples where places have decided to get involved that local level in climate change issues. >> i've been trying to puddle through the advice i'm going to walk away with. i hoped you would be more precise in strategies. it's not clear to me that it's predictg the future i'm not sure you want to look at,pa leo climate, it's not clear - hearing the pieces early on from charles and port land, demand planning for water utilities should not weigh off historically also. site seems the only thing you can do, is sort of what seattle is talking about metropolitan wise. so peter, i don't know how your plan is a reasonable plan of that. so i'm wondering - and then you're saying,oh, by the way you have to move as fast as possible but don't build,dams

he who worked extensively to try to understand new ways to provide a subsidy to pay for some of the moreds to be done. we were not successful in coming up with an alternative. you know to advocate of the federal level, ultimately, we will be successful on that. in the interim, it will fall upon the mayor and the board to create a new policy in a new instrument to do this financing and provide a subsidy. he city in administrator brown's work will perform is what is out there and what the potential possibilities are. you are absolutely right, that is the linchpin. supervisor mar: thank you. i did have one question that cannot and conversations with other advocates. it is not necessarily just to mr. elliott. with the japan earthquake and tsunami, japan probably saved a number of lives because of a tremendous block by block community defense system that they have established over generations. are there any parts of recommendations that is part of a public awareness. >> one of the recommendations does include an expanded neighborhood response with respect to fire suppression. fires are beyond

it seems like our job as been to figure out what things to cut, and it should be really great news to provide that great amenity to the city of san francisco. lastly, i want to say -- i would be dishonest if i did not admit it is nice to have a little more time in my monthly schedule, but one of the pleasures of working on the commission was getting to know all of you on a personal level. that was our real pleasure. i hope i get to see you frequently in the future. i wish you well in continuing the courage that you all have shown over the past few years. it has been a tough few years. oftentimes, you have to sit here with dozens of people out there, behind me, and in front of you, there regrettable of decisions that are important. -- very critical of decisions that are important. you know the importance of making decisions. the soccer field is another one. it was a pleasure to serve and see the courage the commission showed in doing what was right for san francisco, even when it did not seem to be possible. i wish you all well. i look forward to seeing you in the future. thank you. president

these will be a specialized neurosciences institute and a new hospital that will replace the existing hospital and provide for new medical office space or expansion space. we also propose to discuss a detailed overview of the rounds surrounding the improvements. at the third and final informational hearing, we are proposing to look at the development agreement. this is a vehicle for moralizing a series of -- that can easily be dealt with through standard use of approval. this is through workforce development, housing, transportation, health care agreements. -- will provide the documents at may 12th. we proposed a presentation on the request followed by initiation of the general plan amendments. certification and action is currently scheduled for about a month on june 9th. if there is a topic we have not included in the schedule that you think would be helpful for the commission and public to understand the project, please let me know. that concludes my presentation. >> good evening. this will not be the last time that we will be meeting together in joint commission because of the roles we have in our mast

new units. tida will provide $50,000 per unit for replacement units. there is a no cost as well as text and for men and other funding as necessary. the developments will also use leveraged sources to produce homes for extremely low-income households earning no more than 30% of the area median income. as you can see from this site plan, the sites in orange will be generally distributed throughout the project. moving into the jobs and equal opportunity program, the project is expected to create 2000 annual construction jobs, and up to 3000 permanent jobs. one of the special requirements to the original agreement with regards to the city's original employment and contracting community into a ti-specific program. that applies to nearly all employers, in both construction and permanent, as well as kids -- gives them a continuing right -- priority right to service contracts and economic development opportunities the employee -- employee -- that employ homeless individuals. the target 25% said of the judge to formerly homeless and economically is the benefits

this and other pilot programs show, our initiatives to develop new technologies provide material advantages to our troops in the theater entrance of energy consumption. especially at the tactical edge, new energy technology makes our warfighters more agile, allowing them to focus on the mission rather than their logistics chain. it is important to note that energy on the battlefield is not only vulnerable in the last mile when convoys come under attack. military installation here in the u.s. provide direct operational support to troops in theater. today, the front line extend to uav operators in the united states. if the facilities that drucker support combat operations are heavily dependent on the civilian electrical grid. as result, energy security here at home is becoming increasingly important to operations abroad. disrupting energy supply at any point along our logistics network undercuts our ability to project force. so we are taking steps to enhance the energy resilience he of art installation. the power grid most of our installations is no more sophisticated than a large off on swit

realign some existing streets as well as add new streets, alleys, and pedestrian pathway is to reduce the size of the development to a more manageable scale that provides pedestrians more direct path of trouble, and creates a more legible block pattern while keeping the core elements of the original design, such as the circle at the center. all of these new streets and alleys are codified in this plan for development. there are specific parameters about where that are required to be and the public nature. that has all been very well worked through. in terms of the scale of development specifically, the western half of the site is essentially a four-story model at the base, consistent with what we generally considered in residential neighborhoods around the city, a 45 foot scale. the eastern half is more of a six story scale. that decision was made to concentrate most of the bulk of the units on the eastern half, to ward where the transit infrastructure is. the existing powers, as you know, are going to remain. through the design process, the team decided to concentrate any new additional towers near the existing powers so as not to fundamentally alter

the new library met the goals described for a new and enlarged library and also provides the opportunity to create a redesigned park with a children's playground located at the center of the site, at the heart of the site, and relocate the tennis courts. the new, improved joe dimaggio playground has been expanded to meet the needs of the neighborhood. this slide diagram shows the existing conditions with the existing library and tennis courts and located at the center of the site, which is approximately 8 to 10 feet below the existing playground. there is a lot of topographic a variation in the joe dimaggio playground. this diagram shows phase one of the master plan, with the new library located that's the 701 lombard street site, with mason street closed, preventing it easy and safe access from the library to the expanded park come up with the tennis court still in its original position in phase one. this diagram shows face to come up with the new library already constructed and the future park improvements or relocating the new children's play area to the heart of the site and moving t

the new system of other infrastructure would provide a major improvement to the water flow in the district and relieve a lot of the pressure on the sewage treatment plant, as well as hopefully address some of the ecological issues. the project would also be investing in new distribution piping for future hooking up to the recycle water system, which the puc is planning so that in the future a lot of water needs would not be met through hetch hetcyhy, but through recycled water. there is a commitment to provide -- to construct at least 10% of the demand in renewable facilities either on site or off site, build new generation facilities, and to exceed title 24 standards by at least 10% to 15%. a couple words about how all of this is implemented. in terms of the land use, the detailed land use controls, this is all being implemented through the planning code, through zoning. this is not a redevelopment area. all the core planning codes would live in a special use district in the planning code. that includes all the land use regulations. these new land-use districts would be mapped on the zoni

news. while "the daily show" provides interesting insight, provide satire and parody of news, it is clear there is some element of news there. what is tricky is how you help students define where to get quality information about what is happening in their community. that is how i try to define it. the lines are too blurred to say that is journalism, that is not journalism. what i am most interested in is educating students to develop a critical awareness and thinking ability to parse out what is good information and what is not. >> moving on to mark adkins of the "san francisco chronicle." we had a conversation about the chronicle. it was threatening to close, saying it was losing $1 million a week. you have made massive cuts since then. how has that affected the quality of your coverage? >> one of the thing that is exciting is that people are so passionate about news, about the chronicle, a number of people we employ. one area where we trimmed a lot of jobs in a lot of different areas of the operation, including the news room, and it is not always about the quantity of people you employ of the

adjacent to this corridor would be a new set of athletic fields , providing soccer fields or baseball to be programmed in the future. important to note that this athletic field also would be accessible to some of the institutional uses that are across brotherhood way, which currently do not have the athletic fields for their own use. the could use new crosswalks to access these fields. diaz plaza would be a new public plaza adjacent to neighborhood commercial uses. you might think of this in terms of some of our downtown alleys, more on the scale of the west porto, if you think of that as a public plaza. the transit is an important component of the open space and the transportation system. we will talk more about the realignment of the light rail. this open space will take that exceptionally busy stop out of the middle of 19th avenue, where everyone has to cross a busy state highway and it is exceptionally dangerous, and put it in a generous new open plaza to serve both the s.f. state crowd as well as parkmerced. there would be plenty of room for people to wait for trains and pick up

new sites where radiation may occur. there is, as described in the e.i.r., there is an extensive regulatory framework in place that would provide for remediation of sites if new materials are discovered. we have also provided mitigation measures in the e.i.r. that bolster that program so that any materials that are found would be dealt with propetsly. -- appropriately. if you'll refer to the mitigation measure in the document, there is an extensive measure that requires consultation with a wildlife biologist as to when buildings are proposed and also allows for changes in the way that bird strikes with dealt with over time as the technology and understanding of bird strikes evolves and we believe this measure is very robust and would reduce the impact to a level that is less than significant. the evaluation of issues in the e.i.r., the implementation of the project would result in unavoidable environmental immacts that could not be mitigated to a significant level in transportation, noise, air quality, wind and biological resources. in conclusion, we suggest it is accurate and adequate and the procedure for it, the final e.i.r.

this provides a new street network and establishes a street hierarchy for the better st. planned, just recently adopted. this is a long with an open space and open free market, recognizing its adjacency to open space in including small, intimate, urban spaces to complement them. there is the establishment of new zoning guidelines. there are limits to development. it will do several things. it will be at a higher density than what is currently provided in the underlying zoning. number two, it will korea a mechanism that will korea a more typical street pattern. number three, it will assure that the streets will be accessible and approved, and then you need at the site, the zoning looks to deal with the rights of way, namely the new zoning would change the height to allow a range of heights including three residential towers. the kazakhstan site is currently zoned -- the existing site is currently zoned -- zop -- zoned c-2. the proposed would change this. it would allow this at a higher density. the new zoning also proposes to establish a special use district, an "sud," for
