as well as what else has been happening in the immediate neighborhood, including one of david baker's projects. that is through the area, actually. the public has known about this for a very long time. the neighborhood association has known about this for a very long time. i actually look forward to seeing the more current iterations and details as they come forward. >> commissioner? >> this is much like a project we had earlier, and this was probably 2003 or 2004, and these held up during the eastern neighborhood situation. and so, this is a pleasant surprise that we finally see them coming forward, and i see some of the rendering sirrah, and from what i see these look very good. this is not what we're here for. we will have comments on the environmental draft and the impact report, and will be able to send in the comments, and we will take responses and see the project after this is completed. commissioner moore: i look at this as a program e.i.r. with the particular time that this stance, and the architects with the original sketches are not even in business anymore. be that as it

if architect baker could respond. we very recently i am projects which were more adjoining rincon corridor were made aware of the fact that buildings in proximity to freeways had to be more cognizant of air pollution, and particulate matter. in what way are you responding to that or where it? >> -- aware of it? >> we are mechanically ventilating and filtering the air. by the freeway, all those units have mechanically ventilated air. >> commissioner moore: they are responding to it. thank you. we have difficult -- a difficult double motion. we have an appeal on ceqa. >> it is not an appeal. it is the adoption of the ceqa. >they were called up together. >> commissioner moore: i would make a motion for part and and . >> second. >> if i could respond to the comments about the transit and the heights exceptions. there is a 20% exception. there is a -- about the transit on 16th street. it is envisioned as a brt so that should address the transit concerns. the 22, you cannot get the 20 to two blocks away. it sure what. >> pr

it had the map laid out for the site, and david baker was there. we saw an excellent presentation. we are very interested here and we have known about this for years. this got held up, not only by the evolution of the eastern neighborhoods, but the last business cycle. this is a terrific opportunity, and we look forward to following this. this will be significant because this has been recognized as the poster child of land dedication, with a fabulous opportunity for subsidized and affordable housing on this, carving off a large chunk of the site, with the mayor's office and housing. we would love to see the density blown out and we would love to have a lot of housing in this location. there was a lot of enthusiasm and we want to follow this. >> and is there additional public comment? public comment is closed. >> we have written comments, but as something brief right now, i was shown, and very early, drawings of a project on the site, by bill and mary murphy. this could have been 10 years ago. this has of all to ever since then, to the eastern neighborhoods projects and the process

[laughter] >> actually, you know what? i don't. you are right. but just to that point,

agent baker, you put up digital billboards with her image.re any new leads on her disappearance? >> yes, there are. we have several leads we are pursuing. we've had a lot of publicity about this. that has generated a ton of leads. i can say that -- i don't know that we're on a particular path right now, but we're on leads, and hopefully that leads you onto the right path. >> does the fact that maybe her bike disappeared with her point that this is an abduction? >> absolutely. this is a small child, 3 years old, she only weighs about po poun30 pounds. this was not a small bike. there's no way she could have gotten far with that bike if she just wandered off with it. >> and breeann lives in a very small town, what, like 1600 total? >> 1600 residents. >> so how wide is the search? >> we have a radius of about five miles from her residence we are searching. we've searched by air, on the ground. we've had search dogs out looking. so we're still active engaged in doing a physical search. >> i understand you're also looking for a white van can you d

so i share the time and that's how i met a really through aaron baker says so you already knew the story that i knew the stillness to a bit about the story that it's horrible i mean i mean i mean what outlives it's just unbelievable well actually comes from the southern provinces of afghanistan and. it's i think it was twelve or fourteen economy but the detail she was given away to cover a dispute that happened with the family and she was really abused quite badly within her in-laws home and so she decided to run away and she ran to her neighbors thinking she would seek refuge in but they handed her into the police and in afghanistan basically if you are a woman then you run away from your husband you go to jail but she received amnesty and her father came to collect her and took her back her oh ought to be raised has been due to that has to go has been and there was a court which happened to be in that area it was a taliban court. and they say that as punishment to teach other women in the village not to run away from their husbands to cut off her nose and ears and they held it down dec

about sam rafel, and i will mention that we are very pleased to have the mission curator, and kathy baker. >> thank you, tom. >> this is exciting for me. most of those get the independence haul -- hall. >>> let's talk to you. what brought you to the mission. you are the cure ater occur ray tortures -- curator. my mom and dad met there, and i am an art historian. and i spent a year-and-a-half working on the mission. you are a real-live arcadia keyologist. >> yeah, i have been doing it for 10 years from now. i am not terrified of the conventions or the people that she brought there. i really enjoyed it. and i just started listening to some of the people speaking, and then i got excited about doing some of the arcadia keyologist -- arkology -- archeology. >> if there is going to be any type of work going on down or where there is excavation work, sergely. what we are doing now is sitting the area. >> it ocean a treat to -- there's a treat in learning in this field. it's not just investigating, dirt, shovings, there is a lot of arcadia keyologist -- archeologist. i am glad you brought that up

baker, thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks for having me on, melissa. >> listen, i like clean air, i like clean water, but if you tell me at this point cutting the epa will, in fact, create more jobs, the situation seems desperate enough i'm prepared to give up clean air and water. is that realistic and something that can have a marginal impact on job creation? >> this is almost as though we've gone into an alternative universe of the the '90s were not that long ago, go back to the late '90s, we were creating three million jobs a year. we haven't instituted a whole set of stupid regulations that suddenly brought the economy to a halt, in fact, the job growth stopped under president bush. again, not all his fault, but that's when the economy stopped creating jobs. president obama, i'd like to see more regulations in many areas. you can find stupid ones, but they are not big. >> you know, we're often criticized in media for not giving information, for just giving ideas or opinions, so i'm asking right now an informational question, what do you see as the bottom line for what we

i am arlene holt-baker.n behalf of the secretary treasury here, we want to welcome all of you to the house of labor this morning. [applause] we are so excited for those of you that are in the room. as you know, this is also being a web cast, we are on c-span. we absolutely thank all of those who are participating. this has been an historic week in washington, d.c., in many ways. as we all know, the unveiling of the martin luther king, jr. memorial has been postponed. the eastern seaboard is in the path of hurricane irene. natural disasters, brothers and sisters, we cannot control. but it is the man-made disasters, that we have the power to change their direction if we so choose. we are reminded on this day of that march on washington 48 years ago when dr. martin luther king, jr. moved our people and our nation to embrace his dream of america, and a dream that he it and -- a dream that he shared. [applause] when we began talking about coasting aid jobs and justice symposium during this week, we knew that we w

mean we are broke bankrupt really bankrupt and that was former treasury secretary secretary james baker how do you reflect upon those words. big russ was was saying that the u.s. is actually out creaking of a greek speakers if you add all of the unfunded liabilities to the national debt figure i mean the national debt figure. isn't really what this is really about but really the unfunded liabilities are the so-called fiscal there when that's two hundred and two trillion us dollars saw in many ways that's worse than greece the budget deficit is very small as the same as grazier of ten point eight percent budget deficit in the eurozone was formed not as a eurozone as any better i mean they're just blowing up right now to. have severe seeing again pressure on greek and takes government bonds and even germany and france are increasingly looking shaky on the government as well but just as a reference when the eurozone was found there was a limit of three percent a budget deficit as a percentage of g.d.p. that is normally considered as a maximum sustainable so the u.s. is now at ten point eig

were focused on katrina and then once we got that up and running i've went back to work on the ella baker center and eventually created something called green for all because of fuel talk about james kept growing that organization and took it in different directions and he did take on glenn beck and fox news for. that being responsible abusing i would say the airwaves and putting out things that were not true about me but probably about you know so many other people and eventually. i think that it's a been occasioned of our system of our system of american society you can't just abuse the airwaves and can just abuse the public trust and expect the american business community to stand with you and pay for ads on your show when you're saying things that are not true they're defamatory and that are misleading the american people so it wasn't just a james rucker stood up and said the american business community stood back and said we don't care how many eyeballs you can get with this type of programming we're not going to put money on put our brands next to yours and eventually he was . made

the problem and making it much worse with huge tax cuts like we did in the early eighty's when james baker was working for ronald reagan or as we did in the bush administration versus times when all of a sudden we're concerned about it i'm happy that i mean if we're concerned about it fine let's take advantage of that political crisis to solve the problem but if you look at. it on the willingness of foreigners to hold u.s. treasury securities there isn't the slightest sign that they know that they're getting tired of it so to use a phrase. that crisis is to my mind absurd five years ago i don't feel bad about it i really do as they have been crying a lot of debt yet because nobody has buying it. ok i was just telling us to look at so i thought a lot of other china is buying it we know i mean it isn't just the u.s. federal reserve lots of other central banks like china are buying now you might say at some point they're going to stop and i'm worried about that too but at the moment they're not slowing down their purchases foreign central banks ok joe where you where do you gentlemen and wher

professor baker, thanks for being here.people watch on tv and they say, i'm not evacuating, i'm not leaving my house. why don't people evacuate when they see the kind of dangerous flags put up, say, all along the coast? >> well, it's true, a fair number of people don't leave. and for the majority of them, it's because they don't think they need to. there are some people who don't leave because they have constraints that keep them from being able to leave. but most people don't leave either because they think the storm's not going to be strong enough to pose a significant threat to them, where they live, or they think their house is built well enough or is in a safe location. the problem is -- >> we are having our own share of troubles here tonight. it has nothing to do with hurricane irene. obviously we have lost professor baker. and we will apologize for that. hopefully we will be able to get him back at some time in the hour. we want to take you now, this is the presser from the folks putting together the martin luther ki

in three chance in fact he says so what should we make of all of this well earlier i spoke to dean baker co-director of the center for economic policy research here is his take on the debt ceiling circus. it's absurd it ever escalated to the extent it did because this is always been routine passage congress we've raised the debt ceiling i think was ten times in the last decade i forget the exact number i mean this is we're arguing over sending in the check you know if you want to argue over whether you should buy the car you know you know buy a house that's fine but we already bought it so that this is simply pain pain bills so it was really kind of ridiculous and the real tragedy of it is that with the economy basically stagnant the unemployment rate rising recreating very few jobs congress and the president were locked in this ridiculous debate which was not to do any good offer the economy the real question was how much harm would it do absolutely and i know we had you on this show here on our team just a couple months ago and you laid out sort of a predicts sense for how this would p

paul's ideas that he advocates for five or six years later people start to take them seriously dean baker co-director of the senate center for economic and policy research thanks as always your insight is very helpful thanks for now. well another economic factor in this country not people or population in order to increase the population you need babies to be born and in order for babies to be born you need well you know but in russia women outnumber men by about ten million leaving many single bachelorettes clamoring over the few eligible bachelors but one man things he has found a solution to the women throwing themselves at his feet all the way are to correspondent mary of an ocean or shows us why one man says are more the better. and need some dream a father of three and husband of three and that is ok and dray got married two years own. and then again. why should i refuse any of them is one of them all really why the country's demographic realities andries site according to the latest census there are ten million more women in russia than the mean and shortage of supply leads to the

we've had really good growth, really good job creation. >> dean baker, great to see you. thanks for your time tonight. >>> i want to bring in emanual cleburne, the chairman of the national black caucus. the national average is just above 9% for african-americans, 16% more unemployed and six stalled jobs bills in congress currently. how is either party going to create the jobs in this climate that both sides continue to talk about? >> well, first of all, i think it's important for us to understand that there is only one particular piece of legislation that democrats and republicans agree on, that could create jobs, that's a transportation bill. everyone agrees on it, and the problem is the fury inside the beltway. it's at such a high level, it's almost impossible to sit down and discuss something like the need for a highway bill. we just laid off, unfortunately, furloughed over 4,000 employees because there's an attempt to kill unions in the aviation zre. it's difficult for us to have any kind of sustained effort to reduce the high level, the intolerably high level of unem

. >> here is the golden gate bridge from fort baker. the blue skies, no fault this afternoon things cleared out across the entire bay area and right now we're looking live in trees at san francisco and mostly clear skies tonight all there is a thin layer of fog that you can see lurking across the city we have temperatures in the '50s. petaluma at 59, palo alto is currently and 64. tomorrow, look from patchy fog earlier on. it is forecast to clear out pretty quickly. the west side of the city where the house of lands is happening golden gate park about 11:00 p.m. until noon. we will see the cloud in the morning and the sun begins to emerge for the afternoon. winds at the northwest 15 to 20 m.p.h. in temperature in the '60s, not bad at all. looking nice for this sunday and temperature around the rest of the bay area the have readings topping out in the '70s and '80s a few degrees cooler than what he had today. the sea breeze will be as little bit stronger later in the day and that will keep the temperatures in a couple of degrees lower. 9

it goes on to speak about public recreation the marina green and others, alcatraz, fort baker and the waterfront. what is not analyzed is the impact on other recreation, because nogs swimmers in the aquatic park, there are many wind surfers out on the bay launching. they come with their kayaks and small row boats or don't belong to the clubs. what i am personally concerned about is what i consider the privatization of the waterfront in key locations during the event. at this moment i am glad that i do not live in the marina. because the marina green will be greatly private sized, not only for the race, but for nine months or more which people being cut off from their front yards and the waterfront beyond. what i am concerned about in the plans recently approved, the contradictions with those plans. that e.i.r. was solely base on the concept of public open space and the use of the open water access and the open water for public recreation. that part of the city is greatly underserved. the waterfront recreation, and that particular project was a major -- this particular e.i.r. and the p
