and my father was one of the original people to build the verdi club. he was the president for many years there. and i am very much against this building going next door and being that high, and they should take down a couple of things plus... and the residents and 47 parking spaces in an area that is already crowded and it is just down the street is the muni car... and they have all of the dliefrs park all of their drivers around there and what i am against too is this is an old building and it is in there the people that are coming in there i don't have any report for my neighborhood. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> whoever is waiting to speak can come forward. >> i am aliza and i am here to speak on the construction analysis. we believe that the construction analysis on the 480 project and stand in the smaller project and the data can tread well and rolo dated december 14th, has determined the declaration on the project and it appears to be on a design with the excavation and the project that is described as the six story building and the m

case we have a geo, tech report which apparently has identified the potential for the damage to the verdi club itself. so i would think that unless i have an explanation for this particular issue that the staff is going to have to back and redo this particular document. >> the building is adjacent to the site and the geo tech report and there is a lot of standard language in the report one thing that they are saying that the piles will not be sealed because of the difficulty of driving in the bed rock and driving the sheet piles that caused the vibrations with the damage to the buildings and it is reviewed by geo tech and the department of building inspection would require a geo tech and a new updated geo tech based on the foundation and the building plans, i don't see that there is anything unusual about constructing the 6 story building adjacent to a historic building. >> there is, if there is excavation and according to the geo tech and the soils report indicate that the acceleration which is the vibration could result in damage to the building. therefore you have a significant and una

mariposa street side and on the potrero street side and then transition down to the verdi club and that is an important thing and if the architect wants to step up? would you mind coming up? do you understand the discussion that we are having? >> i appreciate the concern and it is something that we discussed internally the relationship of the building that was proposed due to the existing verdi club there. and if i may speak to the condition of the variation from one to the other it is one building, obviously and many times in san francisco it will be an attempt... (inaudible) to to present a character of differentiation and in the valley and most recently a project that is completed. i think that an orientation would warrant the variation in this for instance, or the orientation of openings and the like. it should have a building that enenvelopes that icon with the similar capacity and the material expression and it should step in volume, would i agree and i think that we can accommodate that in our efforts to revive the building. >> i think that i hear that you understand for my conce

. >> jeff: in egypt it appears mohamad al verdi may not be interim prime minister. he will likely be interim deputy president following the ouster of president morsi last week. funerals were held today for demonstrators killed in continuing street clashes while in washington the talk was about nudging egypt back toward democracy. here's nandy cordis. >> opponents of ousted president morsi gathered in downtown cairo today and so did members of morsi's party, the muslim brotherhood who protested his removal from office. on cbs's "face the nation", arizona republican senator john mccain said it was time for the u.s. to take a stand. >> the united states should not be supporting this coup. >> mccain argued the u.s. should reassess the 1.5 billion dollars it gives to egypt each year. >> reluctantly i believe that we have to suspend aid until such time as there is a new constitution and a free and fair election. >> u.s. law requires washington to cut off aid to any nation whose military oust the democratically elected leader. so egypt's ambassador to the u.s. argued today

returning to the zimmerman verdi in the role that race and politics are playing, we welcome hilly clintonfox news contributor and political analyst juan williams. i thank you both for being here. first let's turn to the idea that this verdict is suspect. what evidence is there of that? >> we have seen the attorney general, and on us. >> many african-americans and others are saying that if these pursuits would not have started, we wouldn't have got here to begin with. but the comments in the show that you made are so critical. we have had many tweets say that it is now open season on young black males or are to what they e failing to mention is business way before george zimmerman ever fired a shot at trayvon martin? if there is anyway i think the president said this, to honor trayvon martin, then we have to take a close look at violence. at 41 years old, 262,621 black people have been murdered by other blacks and this is something that we have to address. progressives have to understand that there is a decline in black families and we have to say that comprehensive education is not just t

we agree there's a possibility for damage to be done to the fabric of the nation if fis verdi this verdict> what do you think when you hear that? >> i think we're afraid of black people. that's the bottom line. certainly it's a rational question in the sense that after oscar grant there were riots. after rodney king, the acquittal of the officers of rodney king, there were riots. that doesn't mean we always riot. >> after oscar grant, there was massive anger. >> yeah. >> a huge, peaceful mobilization in the city of oakland. a huge, peaceful mobilization, people marching. there were riots as that demonstration essentially broke up, 80 people, i believe, arrested. these were not mass riots. the vast majority of people who came out to express their displeasure after oscar grant were, indeed, peaceful. >> remember reeka boyd shot by an off duty police officer two months after trayvon martin. she was an innocent bystander. he was shooting at someone who was going for a cell phone. so it's a very similar kind of, you know, someone who is not violent, hadn't done anything wrong. there were no rio

through which many in the african community have reviewed this case and have reviewed and received this verdi verdict. i've got to tell you, i was in the courtroom each and every day. i thought that there was going to be a guilty verdict. i thought as a former prosecutor looking at it through my legal lens that certainly the government had proved at the very least manslaughter. so when this verdict came back, i questioned along with many of my colleagues and my friends of color, did race play a part in the perception that the jury had in looking at the evidence? because i looked at the evidence complete lly differently. i wonder if it is because i looked at the evidence through the prism of my experience. and i think it's so important to have these discussions. it's so important for our young african-american boys to have someone like the president as a role model speak out about what has been so long in our system, the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. h which is race in our judicial system and how it affects our children. >> back to the perspective thing, that was one of
