these orange dots represent what we call activators, the idea that in order to activate this we need things going on for these three areas. the cruise terminal and its uses are one of them. last but not least, we need to think about bringing some kind of transparent buffer between the green space and gta, where we will have more active buses, taxis, and so forth. this is the resulting master plan. we have two alternatives that we will be taking into public process. this gives you a sense of the total site, with a secure area here, the gang ways here, a security barrier here that could be closed on cruise days, and allowing circulation into the park, and public access could be provided to the end of the pier for some kind of significant objects of interest. this shows you the piazza and the valley, which i will talk more about in a few minutes. a future connection to the history walk would go here, as a consideration of something which could connect with the green's base of the park. the northeast whorf plaza has a number of elements in it i will talk about now. as we go into the publ

activating it with active use is important. you can get a sense we have used significant san francisco landmarks as drivers for the pathways and the parks. if you come out of the terminal, right then you have a view of the transamerica building and quit tower -- coit tower. it is a portal for arrival at san francisco. the idea is having a way to come up on to the piazza. i should not that accessibility is a challenge along these areas where there is a change in grade. entering at this corner is a natural way to enter the park. with that, i will hand it over to john unless you have any questions for me. president fong: i have one. first of all, i think this is fantastic. does. b have more window -- does option b have more window view toward the bay then option a? >> yes. with square footage, and they are comparable. they are configured very differently. b is long and thin. a has a larger body between the two zones. president fong: thank you. >> good afternoon. i am from the planning and development staff. i want to reemphasize t

when i was actively using, i didn't have a whole lot of hope. in recovery? i have a tremendous amount of hope. i have stability in my life today. i've been able to regain the things that i lost to active addiction--and i've been able to discover new things about myself. to break the cycle that has plagued so many alcoholic and drug-addict families that it passes on from one generation to the other. this breaking of the cycle is probably the most significant thing that i've seen happen in our family. we really do need to come together as a recovery community, even if you're not able to tape yourself or show up on national television. we need your support and we need your help and we need your numbers and your experience to be counted so it's important to hook up with faces and voices or your local recovery communities and to be a part of this so we can fight societal discrimination and make it easier for the next generation to come up and get the help they need. music if someone you know needs help for a substance use disorder, where do you turn to find treat

activity comes down to the water's edge. there is a seamless integration between urban life and the water. design principal two. we must respect san francisco's typography. typography is certainly a defining feature of san francisco and remains inseparable from our image of the city -- for topography. neighborhoods in particular center their identity around a topographical feature. the extension strengthen the city -- design principle no. 3, the extension of the city into the water remains one of the most memorable elements that defines san francisco's environment. striking views that result from the at times in the scramble application of the grid across hills visually connects the neighborhoods to be heard as well. design principle of for your, recognize the city wide and regional role of the northeast embarcadero. the northeast embarcadero is a citywide, regional, and state what resourced. when decisions about development and open space are being made, they should be made from this grander and more subtly lighted perspect

regarding this grant, what type of activity are we looking for? are we looking for a full-time program? a weekend program? what can you do with $100,000? >> that is a great question. to your first point, thank you for that. that is really kind. we could not have done it without port commission support. you have voted on the budget every year to continue to support the program. that is why it has succeeded. what can you do with $100,000? that is one of the reasons -- one of the advantages of offering it as a grand opportunity rather than a contract is that with a grant we can lay out what we wish for and let the respondents return to us grant proposals that reflect their creativity, their ideas, and their resources. they tell us what they can do for $100,000. to give you an example, the current contract was funded at $85,000 a year. that gets us 1.5 full-time equivalent staff people. there are fairly limited materials in terms of books and other similar teaching materials. that is one of the reasons why with this year path budget request we have as

the benefits are the activation of the plaza.in year one there is an estimated revenue of 35,000 attendees of $30,000 or more. by year five, they anticipate an excess of $350,000 in revenue coming from the department, and over five years, the estimate revenues in excess of $1 million. a percentage rate to be identified percentage rate to be identified it was the appointed by staff and management. the mayor's office is very much in favor of seeing this happen. >> $350,000 from sponsors. what does the sponsor get in turn for giving money to this entity? >> it might be the sort of thing where wells fargo says we want to provide $50,000 to support youth. >> my fear is seeing a blatant public advertising and the park. is there a provision in the lease that prohibits leighton destruction of the environment? >> i think there is a difference. we are not looking for advertising, but we will be looking for sponsors. gay pride has sponsors. >> i just want to be sure we do not have blatant advertising in our parks. fair enough? >> very fair,

do governments engage in these sorts of activities? >> take the afghan government. the guy in charge of drugs for the afghan government told us, off the record-- and now he's no longer with the government, so i guess we can talk about it-- said every single minister in the karzai government was on the take. ah, and, in most cases, they were keeping their u.s. visas up-to-date in case they had to get out all of a sudden. so the, the whole structure, the government structure there is involved with, ah, obviously with drugs, one way or another. >> vanda. >> ah, i think that the afghan govements, is very corrupt in multiple ways, and certainly members of both high levels and low levels are involved in drug trafficking, inevitably, if a third or half of the country's economy is drugs. essentially the only way to have risen to a position of being a new con after the 1980's when the legal economy was estimated to be part of the illegal economy. >> we spoke, ah, great decisions spoke to some other experts about these topics too, including the question of why globalization s

we do organize a lot of activities in our neighborhood. the reason why we are successful in organizing all the activities is we have a large shared leadership organization. all of us our volunteers and 11 board members we have over 60 volunteers in our neighborhood distributing on a parent's group or safety team. they are helping with marketing and pr. they are helping us with reaching out and setting up meetings with the mayor. we also set up meetings with the mayor and our city representatives. so, through those organization and volunteers and the committees we get a lot of community building everybody knows somebody else the classic network model. we do have meetings general meetings for the neighborhood and those are we communicate those meetings through the news letter through the yahoo group and fliers we generally get 70 people. the last had 160 meeting. the driver was because we had shootings in our neighborhood. the neighborhood association got a lot of big hitters to our meeting including the da's office and mayor's office and th

and in this case with them are you considering the tension in this part of the world and iran's active position on the global political arena. but as you know this could become a source of some serious additional tensioners. of course i would do single out garonne isn't unpredictable nation or a nation of those opposing eg grave threat to mankind. these are all exaggerations made by some countries. discussion for instance we have always been against this sanctions proposed by some on top of the united nations sanctions. you mean the us sanctions yes the latest tougher version of sanctions adopted by the us and already in force they go beyond words needed decision. and they go beyond the u.n. sanctions. that's a unilateral step you off course that's unilateral step in now europe is doing this season. we find new sanctions adopted by europe absolutely unacceptable and in no way supporting the positive trend in resolving the problem over iran's nuclear program and. such measures can prove to be counterproductive because they me trigger in negative reaction. and actually the the sanctions

attendees received "passports," informing them on the day's activities, which included recovery event speakers, prize drawings, and of course, seeing all of the animals. the gadsden treatment center, in collaboration with other substance abuse agencies, organized a recovery walk in gadsden, alabama. over 700 people came out and raised over $7,000 toward area substance abuse treatment. aside from the walk itself, the event featured vendor tables with treatment information, as well as fun activities including inflatables for children, face painting, horseshoes, food, and live music. the national council on alcoholism & drug abuse of st. louis sponsored a hands across the bridge rally. several hundred supporters from missouri and illinois assembled at the chain of rocks bridge to join hands and connect both states. recovery speakers and elected officials spoke at the event and a unified crowd enjoyed a day of food, fun activities, and live music. recovery supporters in delaware celebrated recovery month in their state by holding a kickoff luncheon. delaware governor ruth ann minner was o

figure was balanced by a big jump in midwest business activity. the chicago purchasing managers index marked its 10th straight month of expansion, up to 62.3. any number over 50 signals growth. today's numbers highlight the cross currents in the economy, and whether growth will be strong enough to drive down unemployment. suzanne pratt takes a look at what analysts say lies ahead for the u.s. economy. >> reporter: on the surface, the economy growing at a rate of 2.4% doesn't sound so bad. after all, consumer spending in the second quarter was only slightly weaker than the first quarter. on top of that, businesses bought up equipment and software at a blistering pace. the problem is the recovery is slowing down, just as government support is fading. and, that has some economists, like brian fabbri, concerned about the future. >> it really looks like a 2% growth story for the second half of the year. a little bit disappointing compared to where we have come from-- 5%, for example, in the fourth quarter and 3.7% in q1. so, it's a little disappointing

why a are the planning and building officials willing to be part of these activities? if you don't do anything, you will get nothing. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. we have five adjacent properties that surround us. the owners of three of these properties use the same expediter and architect. one of them was able to build an addition that exceeds the height limit without a permit. this requires a notification. the zoning administrator ignored his own staff and did nothing. the owner of the second property submitted false plans and claimed that they had an existing gargar-- garage. they claim that they were not excavating 250 cubic feet of soil. an inspection revealed that the garage did not exist but they are activating over 1000 cubic feet of soil. the owner of the third property submitted 11 rescissions' of false plans and they were looking to legalize an illegal debt -- 11 revisions of false plans and they were looking to legalize an illegal deck. the zoning administrator of granted a variance. we have proven many of their false statements at the publi

getting a permit to is at a fraction of the cost of the organized activity. our firsthand experience is that they claim and prove that they have a connection with planning and building officials able to circumvent the code. they deal with retired or those that are semi-retired architects or engineers. the professional permit to and the contractors drew the plan wherever they wished and they put their stamp on the plan knowing that it contained false information. they claim that they have an existing garage but they still do not have one. one permit is for a -- but this is a new edition. it is approved and without any public notification. the allowed them to do this until it was completed. -- they claim that this is not the same as the one that actually exists. they have claimed that these are the existing. when we complained to the director, he used the preprogrammed address book to call the expediter. he warned them about the complaint against his plan. when the deputy director wishes for his dream house to be built, -- postponed his vacation and did it for

that's not activism. that's looking at the constitution and saying well we're going to ignore it even if it does expand the commerce clause because the commerce clause is what got noose a place where we have a $1.6 trillion deficit that our kids' future has been mortgaged, we may never recover from. that's not an understatement at all. in 25 years each of our kids are going to owe $1.13 million and pay interest on that before they do anything for themselves or their kids. so the fact is that we have this expansive clause and we have to have some limit on it. and if the courts aren't going to limit it within the original intent instead of continuing to rely on precedent of this vast expansion of it, the only hope is that we have to throw out most of the congress. but the point is it's the original intent that you wouldn't ignore their original intent. and what we find ourselves today on the commerce clause is that with -- through a period of precedent setting decisions, we have allowed the federal governme
