i might ask barry to give you an idea of the typical cost of an energy audit. >> you were right on the money, that it can be very variable. if the building owner were to pay for it out of pocket, the range could be between 3 cents and 15 cents a square foot. however, we would expect the majority of building owners to seek assistance they're bittled to from -- entitled to from the energy watch program and those are rate-pair funded programs that help them take advantage of about a billion dollar a year we invest as californians in energy efficiency. they involve a free energy audit so many building owners would receive a free audit. quite a lot of larger facilities, as well, may be exempt, because there's been a lot of activity in demonstrating exemplary energy performance, earning energy recognition. so the out-of-pocket cost is expected to be [inaudible] other than buildings that are looking to take advantage of this opportunity and really look for a very detailed information voluntarily, and to seek that external engineering system. commissioner dooley: thank you. >> what are the cos

it is an idea so repulsive

can you give us an idea of the rationale to exempt this? includes all commercial uses, and there is no reference to non-profit or for-profit status. >> there was kind of a mini grand parroting -- grandparenting. without these changes, it would not be subject to the market up to the impact fees, and these changes would be subject to those fees, so this was an example to exempt them. >> i remember when we did that, and there was a long debate and discussion about which projects would fall into that region supervisor maxwell: -- supervisor maxwell: i remember when we did that, there was a long debate and discussion about which projects would fall into that. i am not comfortable with that. and the code does provide an in kind provision for projects for those that are reducing benefits on their own. they get a credit, but no one other than this project has an outright exemption. therefore, colleagues, other than to say at the last minute that the planning commission did that, in the was a process we went through, in be exempted any other project

these give you an idea of just how apalling bad the great reh depression was. the best we have, as well as movies, it's difficult to million how it was. we tend to look back through the safety net, which was created by the new deal. it was very difficult for young people to understand a time when there was no social safety net. when you lost your job, within a short period of time, you lost your home, food, everything. you were out on the street and your family broke up. it was an apalling time. one tow which some people would like us to return. here's a guy himself, that's actually a light bounce off of

give it an idea. a smooth casing is going to bring it down smoothly. >> it's like you said, on the st. louis arch. going down is like riding the elevator. >> exactly. there's going to be lots of jolts and bumps. any casing is going to make it a smoother ride for them and create less risk. hopefully, it's going to be okay. the next step is the capsule itself. this is about 21 inches. >> that's flexible. we'll have tye come over and it gives you an idea how tight quarters this is. they will have oxygen and take their heart rate and have communications. it's tight. a lot of miners have lost a lot of weight, 20 to 30 pounds. it's a good thing because apparently nine of them weren't going to be able to get in the capsule. they have been doing exercises. they hire add trainer to come to the surface to talk to them. the healthiest ones will come up first in case something happens, they want them to be calm. that experience will count. thank you very much for that. >>> we return to a developing story. this is

sometimes you get thousands of people involved if you start with an idea and the ideas takes off. if you get others involved their ideas mixed with your ideas will make an incredible situation and clean up the neighborhood quite a bit. [applause]. we have a question and answer and we before we go to that just let you know you have an evaluation in your packet. evaluate this workshop it helps with the others we might have. the message before we open it up to you is that i will say this, you can start with onor 2 people. power is right here. these are our resources. they are our partners. we are a team. i consider them my friends and a team. but it's the community thal drive everything you do in your community. all the good and positive will be driven by you. we will open it up. are there questions? >> wow! we were good this time. >> okay. >> [inaudible] >> uh-huh. >> well, what we do and actually m oh , magic cheryl davis is on the community building panel. we work with them alot. mo magic came out of bay view. what she does and what we all do is volunteer and go to the meetings, i

tavis: "unsung heroes," "unusual suspects." >> yes, once we have an idea, we milk it.y are so hard to come by. tavis: you are not singing on this? >> i never sang. no, i don't sing. but i wrote and played the piano and i wrote the music. julia wrote the lyrics. she sings. tavis: do you know how many people on this show i've had over the years he started out as paul reiser, who played, and people tell them not to sing, and a final listing. george benson was told never to sing, by his own manager. maybe? >> i knew poverty when he was just a busboy. i said hey, pal, and go on a diet -- and i knew pavaroti when he was just a busboy. i was a huge fan of jolie before i got to meet her. for me, this is the julia fordham album. i just collaborated. i was having fun. for me to get my toe into that world and start to write music, with an artist that i really admire -- she sounds better than ever. i say, listen to her, if for no other reason. tavis: where do you find inspiration? how does it work for you? >> it is really uncomplicated. i sit down and start nibbling. -- i sit down

[laughter] philanthropists are the first money in when an idea is way too wacky when a company or an investor has an expectation of return on invested funds and you approach them saying i can produce something better than, say, a microscope, and they say, you know, well, not likely. this doesn't make sense. who has heard of anything like this? what do you mean antibiotic? what is by octoberic? -- biotic? the man who invented pencillian tried to get companies to invest. the philanthropist looks at things differently. he says, as rockefeller did when he funded that doctor who did pencillian, he said there's a one in three trillion chance that this bug would actually be something people could take as a medicine and it would kill infections in your body because anything that killed anything would kill you if you ate it; right? so all of the industries said no way. his government said no way. rockefeller had the money to say there's a one in 3 trillion chance, but look at the one. if it hit, it would be the end of infectious disease on the planet. it would be a total change in the life sp

give us an idea of what's been happening as they have been covering this. what we have seen is certainly emotional for the families involved in all of this. >> absolutely. it seems they have had a blend of humility and pride. the broadcasters kept saying it went better than they thought it would go. when the first rescuer went down, they thought he would go down and check things out and come back up but it wasn't the case. they were able to take the first miner. there was a real mixture of pride everything had gone so well. they kept saying 1 billion people, 36 countries watching. there was genuine surprise at how well it had gone and how positive the coverage was. >> sandra, for all of us as we have been watching this vested for two months and as you pointed out, so many other countries are watching this. over 1 billion people have been casually tuning in and out of this coverage, some hooked more than others shall the technology involved with all of this in terms of the coverage as we are seeing these live pictures that are coming to us from inside that m

maybe staff has an idea. >> i would say three, maybe four. i see that you did not feel that this would rise the level of taking dr. this looks like this is well done. there are two units that are larger and in the upper floor. this provides for a key building units and the. >> i have one condition that i would like to introduce and that is on the front elevation by looking in the building, the existing windows are vertical and the proposed windows are horizontal. if we could maintain the vertical windows. >> are you referring to the sliding doors on the right hand side? >> both on the first floor and the second floor, these are vertical to horizontal. >> i believe that those are sliding doors. >> would you be able to talk about sidewalk encroachment and there is this approval by the zoning administrator. what is our own attitude towards sidewalk encroachment slashlondon'? >> i did raise the concern when i was reviewing it but this decision was because this is regulated by another city agency this is within their purview. >> we have to stay aw

who knows in by reaching out to help others, you may even come up with an idea for your own merit badgeeporting for "teen kids news," i'm kristen. >>> sometimes a game is about a lot more than what's happening on the court. tyler has the story of a team that traveled a long way to score points and make a point. >> reporter: on the court, they're teammates. off the court, these boys would never have been friends. the reason they're buddies now? the organization, full court peace, that brought them together. >> full court peace is an organization that uses basketball to unite right now catholics and protestants in northern ireland. >> reporter: the conflict in northern ireland started way before these teens were born, actually centuries ago. >> basically, 800 years ago england owned all of ireland. ireland fought back, and to this day ireland has regained control of all of its land except northern ireland. >> reporter: traditionally, it's thought of as a war between two religions, catholic and protestant. >> when i got there, i couldn't believe how segregated the society was. there were w

>> she had an idea. she had an idea. but she didn't have the facts. so, she basically, you know, the lover went and told her, so, she came up here. the lover didn't come the first day. it was the wife that was here with a blanket and sitting in a chair for day after day until, you know, and then the lover came. and that's what, it was a little bit difficult. >> reporter: difficult, but perhaps not much of a surprise. was he living with the misstress? >> according to the wife, he has always been a womanizer. this is not the only story and such. she says that she has forgiven him several times and now she's not willing to do it because of the public embarrassment. >> reporter: the emotions involved in that situation with the world watching and us talking about it. >> yes. it's sad. for her it has been a terrible moment in her life because she feels like so many things have been said that are not true. >> reporter: two days before the rescue, yonni sent a note, saying he hoped both women would be to meet him. but at this point, marta had enough. >> and t

in venezuela than in any other nation in this hemisphere in the americas so that should give you an idea with regard to the allocation of the money now all the bluster about china is versus the united states the truth remains that the number one client with regard to oil is the united states and what they do with the money most of it goes to his brothers his family and the cronies in his government so that's something to remember and very important to remember the levels of corruption in venezuela are stratospheric why the united i'm sorry i let you finish and now you're going to let me finish there were a lot of things that you said were not true i let you finish with regard to race and why the united states and europe i may add has a problem with is because it has undeniably been financing the fark terrorist organization in colombia an organization that according to the european union is considered a terrorist organization so much so the gyrus himself has had a minute of silence for the death of the fark leaders venezuelan weaponry ends up in far can is the swedish government actually

. >> give us an idea. if you get a view, it will be different -- >> shore. the value of a simple remodel verses a very fancy kitchen remodel in a house that might be worth more than a condominium. those things can matter. it can make a difference. >> we have a request from one of our viewers to make sure we talk about -- home-improvement results and building taxes. >> accessible. >> the other thing that might be brought out his people over- improved. there is a fine line. i recommend that my client or anyone talk to realtors before they start. it is a good idea to get an idea of that neighborhood, that house, and how it can be done. >> page 22 of the handout, spend an hour with the pro. talk about what the value means and how it will add value to your home, or if it will be over spending on something that maybe you can do without. >> exactly. >> it is very important to know why you are doing it. are you doing it to add value? will you live there for 20 years and you want a nicer kitchen? it cost $20,000, but only as $15,000 in value. it is different than if

they've been down there underground 2,300 feet to give you an idea how far that is. that's two empire state buildings down is where they've been for the past two months. so there's a lot of concern about their physical condition. they've been getting medical supplies and food. they had a video hookup, as you can see on the right. they were able to talk to family members and see them as well. the men have gotten cigarettes down there. right now they're getting coaching about how to deal with the media when they come out. all those concerns give way to the mental concerns. what it's like. what you go through in an exercise like that. how strong you have to be to deal with something like that. that is another concern for them as well. we do know they're in decent physical condition right now. they made sure they watched their weight and stayed strong because they need to be thin enough to fit in the capsule. it's just wide enough to essentially put your body in. they get in the capsule and have to ride up some 15 minutes. this is a good illustration of it. this is plan

oftentimes we go out to the community and seek the partn partnerships or they might approach us with an idea for an event or program. as well as we have active community minded staff throughout the library who have a wealth of resources and ideas at their finger tips. they often bring ideases and from that we create programs. >> that was a really great program. that came to us as a lot of events and programs do through our book seller community. bo and our staff worked to bring poets and writers for a wonderful program. we had over a hundred people that attend third degree event in the auditorium. from that, bo is continuing to do work toward the knobby street project today. >> on march fifth 2007 a car bomb was exexploded in baghdad, more than 30 people were killd and more than a hundred were wounded. this local is the historic center of baghdad book selling. a winding street filled with book stores and out door book stalls. named after the famous 10th century arab poet, this is an old and established street for book selling and has been for hundreds of years. book selling on this street is

next week somebody might have an idea about pop culture. like a timeless comedy idea that could have been on the 1340 years ago. >> larry: does it get all little on saturday at 11:15 -- >> that's just what the job is. making sure that you hit your mark and you got, you know, everything right. but it's still fun. >> those live moments are really -- those spikes you have when things go wrong, they are intoxicating. i remember doing a sketch one time with queen latifah and rudolph and i we were back up singers we had to sing a song. something was happening with the music, the music wasn't coming on. it was live. okay. and our stage manager is like, okay, ten, nine, eight -- okay do you want me to tell them. circumstance fire, four, three -- okay there's no music. we had to sing without any music. and it's those kind of moments. >> larry: where were you lauren when this is happening? >> standing on the floor. >> larry: not in the control room? >> i go back and forth. there's lots of show going on. show in the control room, show out here. >> lar

>> what i were to come up with -- when i work with an idea -- when i work to come up with an idiot, i look to a site inspired by a tradition known as land art, where we look to the environment where we are going to create a piece and find elements in that environment to create something that grows from that, so it feels routed to the site and get may bring out new beautiful flourishes. >> the language is in essence 22 books that are suspended in air in the middle of this intersection. you actually drew upon about 90 different operas, right? >> -- 90 different authors, right? >> we look through the history of this area, which is a primary cultural icon. after we had a chance to meet with a lot of people in the neighborhood, we were able to get suggestions, and we came up with 90. we took stands from all of these books. >> we will see the words embedded in concrete. >> in addition to some recent additions by some local policy. -- local poets. one of the interesting things is the fact that it is sort of car rental, right? >> it was is that -- carbon neutral, right? >> it was designed wit

i know that you have been promoting an idea for a work of public art that could be pretty transformativecould you talk about that? >> peace brother is something that i saw, i think in the 1980's there was this lady. she started back there and converted -- she went to the neighborhood and was collecting the guns from some of the gang members. she had it melted and turned into angels. we want to do the same thing and take it to the next level we want to build a boom box by his feet, he will be 7 feet tall. this will be made up of military guns. the boom box will be playing some great songs. marvin gaye. john legenlennon. bob marley. sam cooke. >> songs that really touch people deeply. >> i have come to a place where i call it the sound of maternity. bob dylan calls it eternal young. i think there are certain songs that help you live without fear. when you are living in fear, you invest in violence. fear is expensive, just ask president bush. inn love. and what marvin gaye says is true, war is not the answer, only love can conquer hate. these things are not cliches, they are truisms. if we

my dream has everything to do with an uneducated man with idea. a kid who says i'm going to do something. then do it. i wasn't handed the opportunity. throughout my life i failed. i failed more than i succeeded but i never gave up. i kept pushing and pushing and pushing before i found the right spot, the right thing to do, the right time. most importantly, the truth inside of me. i'm the product in me. if i'm not real, then you are going to see through that like that. that is the american dream. if you keep trying and following what you do and sometimes you fall flat on your face. you might break your noise or break the system. as soon as you know the rules you intelligently break the rules. i'm not the law. the rules. you think out of the box. no, everybody says it should be done this way. i don't think so. that is the dream. instead we made the dream about the payoff. money is not the payoff. i wasn't successful until i understood this. money is byproduct of what you're making. whatever is it you're make, whatever is it you're doing. when you st

. >> can you give me an idea. at one way to we considered obese? is it 20 pounds, 30 pounds, 10? >> for children there is not a precise number, because it depends on that age. we look at the bmi. that is a body mass index. we have come to a designation looking at percentiles. if you're in that 85th percentile, you are considered overweight. greater than 90 is dobie's. a 3-year-old who weighs 60 or 70 pounds would be obese. >> the 9-year-old? can you give me her -- >> it depends on the heights of the child. they could ways significantly more but not be obse. >> i am going to read a couple of names. >> i am a resident pediatrician at uc san francisco. thanks for your time i think we all agree we want kids to eat healthier. if it is hard to expect even the most diligent parents can compete for the money is spent every year on toys for roughly marketed to kids, and there is no doubt the marketing works. it has been shown the marketing efforts strongly affect children's preferences and ultimate consumption of these foods as early as age 2 and into the teenaged years. it often comes as
