it was a nice audience when i walked in my brain was exat that timic, look at the people here. it's almost as good as last years. i said who did you choose last year. and the year before. and told me. i said do you realize they are dead already? >> i'm alive and shouldn't i pull in a little more? [laughter] to go off, thank you for coming. >> my pleasure. i just this month read your book dreaming water. and i was -- i'm very glad to have read it. i'm wondering 2 things. there seems to be more of an advocacy voice in terms of the discrimination of being you know an asian american. and secondly, warner's disease. i'm wondering how you got into writing about that? and the characters were wonderful. >> okay. your first question, first. you know to be totally honest, when i sat down to write dreaming water i thought this is the book that -- i had finished language of threads and written 4 books that took place in asia. because language of threads was a hate this word, the seekial to women of the silk i felt i came full circle and my asia period might have been done i wanted to write

big sp, former sp hospital building, which is a senior center, there's an orthotic and pros at the timic center servicing disabled people on divisadero, when you combine that, any change to a neighborhood like this, that is might even seem small, would have a major impact and i think there are -- so there are unusual circumstances in this particular neighborhood that would preclude using a categorical exemption. >> supervisor wiener: let's talk about bulbouts, let's say there is no bike changes but we were to say for 10 blocks in a row we were going to bulb-out all 10 intersections could that trigger an eir? >> i don't think we have to get to that here because, again, this whole project has 15 different elements. i can read them all but i think everybody is familiar with that. i don't think we have to look at each one piecemeal and say would that element, in and of itself, require an eir. we're not -- to get to that. the point is we have this complex cocktail, this complex mixture of things that are all part of this project, and all together combined require an eir. >> supervisor wiener:

when the flakes are smaller, the temperatures are timically colder. the opposite is true.e the bigger flakes, that tells us the atmosphere is closer to the freezing mark and what is happening is the little snowflakes that are falling are having an opportunity to melt and as they melt -- they start to melt, they were able to stick together. so when you see a big snowflake, it is not one snowflake, it is a series of snowflakes that have clumped to together. >> it is like there is a liquid film on the snowflake. >> it adheres to it. >> i didn't know that. >> so it is a big sign that we see. big snowflakes flying that your chances of it sticking to the ground are not the age as if the flake are nice and small. they are nice and small, temperature are very cold and that tells you temperatures are very cold outside and the flakes aren't sticking to one another. >> so they will stick to the ground better. >> because temperatures are colder. >> yeah. >> it doesn't mean if you see big flakes, it didn't -- can't stick to the ground. when the flake are smaller, your chances of an acc

but not to reform money market mutual funds, which we were later told are ticking time bombs of sis timicrisk. they extrand payments made by u.s., gas and oil companies. but leave the reform of freddie and fannie for another day. it structures the infrastructure by establishing -- not to mention the consumer financial protection bureau. but failed to eliminate the redundancy of having the fcc and cftc share jurisdiction. dodd-frank creates the system of regulation for so called -- [inaudible] or sigh fie to some in the crowd. but does not address the shortcomings of the short term funding model of banks that continued to be too big to fail. the dodd-frank act attempts to solve the financial crisis, illustrates the peril of false narrative. justifies the mandate as answers and only after asking the wrong questions. i suppose that there shouldn't be a surprise given the statute was not the product of bipartisan comprise, and was enacted shortly after the onset of the crisis. many months before the body charged with examining the cause of the crisis issued the reports. it was a markedly diff
