i know the car barn and district 11 very well. oftentimes, start of classes when working with young people -- i grew up in the valley but i was not one of those kids that slapped on the corner in the valley. i was one of those kids trying to make my way past those kids that were simply standing on the corner. oftentimes, where i was trying to make my way too, was often to a place of what we envision the new geneva car barn and powerhouse to be. so with that, i want to give you some highlights on some of the programming that has been happening at the car barn in the past few years and demonstrate some of the bible models we developed and also the desire on the park with young people and communities to support the projects such as this. as some of you may know, and has been mentioned, in 2009, there was a ramping up of development for the geneva car barn and powerhouse project. is included not only the development sites, but also the development of arts and cultural programs. as nicole mentioned, there were many discussions in the c

>> so the relationship you now have with the car barn is through an mou? >> we are in the process of creating that now. >> but prior to that, do we have any kind of formal relationship? you are approving expenses for them, but do we have something in place? >> requirements outlined in the grant agreement. i can provide you documentation that was provided to department as part of the grant where we had expectations that the car barn organization would achieve -- >> that we approve it before the commission. >> it was a grant agreement. >> ok, let us see the design. >> again, thank you for taking the time to watch our presentation. how do i transfer over to -- ok. i will be referring to the screen. i am joshua, one of the architects involved in transforming this project. it is an honor to be involved in such a critical project that is so critical to the youth in san francisco. what you are seeing here to my left is the existing building, back in the 1970's, as it started to deteriorate. more recently, in 2004, i think we should be clear, it is not a full seis

. >> we are an item 11, and the geneva car barn. >> good afternoon, commissioners. nicole avril. i am quite pleased to present to you today one of our most wonderful properties and partnerships for the department, of which most of us do not know about. commissioner bosnia remembers when it was presented in 2004 initially. >> and it is right in my neighborhood. i cannot wait until that happens. >> it is the geneva car barn and power house located in district 11. the car barn and our house was designed by the reed brothers, best known for the fairmont hotel. it served as a depot for the san michaele united san francisco and market street railways and the san francisco municipal railway. it is the last fiscal reminder of the electric railway. in 1985, it was declared a city landmark. following the loma padilla earthquake, the building was left to deteriorate. in 1998, muni announced plans to demolish the structure and put a parking lot in its place. to halt the demolition plans, friends of the geneva car barn and our house was established, and formed a neighborhood citizens group. i

i guess someone -- it had been a barn. so one of the renderings is draw a barn. beyond. don't regret not understanding the alternative. that's mysterious to me. but it seems as though what has happened is someone has said we don't know what was there. you have alternatives. someone to do absolutely nothing. nobody wants it. refurbish what is there and have it be as close to what it was but bear in mind we don't know what it was. we don't know what it would have looked like. we don't know what the materials were. we're going to guess. and that seems to be the position that h.p.c. has taken. historic preservation commission. unless i'm misreading the papers. seems to want this project sponsors -- to reconfigure the refurbish what is there to be as close to what it originally was again, not knowing what it was. and i don't want to take people's comments. i'm going to refute what they said. that is not my intention. and i don't want to go after the integrity or the credential s of the people on the h.p.c. but they are not necessarily experts. they are people appointed to a c

i guess someone -- it had been a barn. so one of the renderings is draw a barn. beyond. don't regret not understanding the alternative. that's mysterious to me. but it seems as though what has happened is someone has said we don't know what was there. you have alternatives. someone to do absolutely nothing. nobody wants it. refurbish what is there and have it be as close to what it was but bear in mind we don't know what it was. we don't know what it would have looked like. we don't know what the materials were. we're going to guess. and that seems to be the

there was a great or nakedness, much more than that of a barn -- a greatcoat ornateness. they are saying it is a carriage house. we are confused. carriage houses were as ornate as the front buildings. finally, note i would like to say -- finally, i would like to say that the zillmans would be the least likely people to confuse the public between a new project and something that is very old. the commission has left no alternative, which means if you disapprove tonight, they have to go through an eir and other processes. excuse me. i would just like to say to people behind you to shorten their testimony. it has been a long evening. the commissioner has asked me that only the first few take their appropriate minutes and that those that follow either do not speak or perhaps say in 30 seconds something they need to say, because it is getting late, but we appreciate your comments and just acknowledge that you are here, i would like all of you in support to stand up. thank you very much, and they for coming. -- cote and thank you for coming. -- and thank you for coming. director

is the cow out of the barn? is it too late to close the door? >> the horse is out of the barn. i heard someone say, and i do not disagree, that even though the horse has gone flying out of the barn, you might want to still hold onto the reins. we have got into a point where the technology -- we're pretty close to the point where anybody who really wants to know anything about you can if they want to do it. we can design technologies, but we need to focus on how the affirmation is used. what about privacy do we really care about, and what we want to preserve? it is a dialogue. a lot of people understand. for example, a lot of what you want from new technology is customization, applications working the way you want them to work, depends on people knowing the applications come in knowing lots of things about you. i think certainly one of the first things we need to do is be more aware of what other folks know, and disclosure. so, if people understood, what do you know about me and can i check that, those are some of the principals in the privacy initiative. >> do you bank online?

it is a barn burner. it is a barn burner. >> jimmy: all right. >> steve: there you go, jimmy.: the password is -- [ laughter ] >> was it barn burner? >> no, i said barn burner. >> jimmy: oh, okay. >> i should've said barn burner. >> spaghetti. >> western. [ laughter ] i thought that's what you meant. i'm the worst at this game. >> jimmy: mama's. >> sauce. [ laughter ] sauce. >> gravy. [ laughter ] >> steve: that's what they call sauce in philly, gravy. >> jimmy: spaghetti. >> meatball? >> jimmy: yeah! [ cheers ] ♪ yes! >> steve: oh, okay. >> jimmy: meatball. >> steve: you guys, come on. you can get that. >> jimmy: yes, i'm very excited. spaghetti western. >> you know what? >> jimmy: god. >> steve: the score's dolly parton. 9 to 5. >> announcer: the password is -- >> steve: all right, bob, you're going to give? >> here we go. okay. jack. [ light laughter ] [ buzzer ] >> all right, bradley. you could tie the game. >> i'll make sure i don't repeat the word. >> tree. >> green. >> green, no. >> tall. >> bean stock. >> jimmy: you guys! our thanks to bradley cooper, robert de niro. p

is the cow out of the barn at this point? too late to close the door? >> well, and i think from a practice kl point of view, the horse is out of the barn. even though the horse is traveling out of the barn, you might want to hang on the reigns and slow it down. i think what it means is we've got to the point with technology where anybody who wants to know anything about you can if they are willing to do it, and protecting someone's ability to know something about you is probably not feasible. we can design technologies to make it better to use it. we need to focus on how the information is used and really reconstruct, and this is a social debate in addition to a technical debate, what about privacy do we care about, and what do we want to preserve? i think it's a dialogue. there's a lot of things people don't understand. for example, a lot of what you want from the new technology in terms of customization, seemless, self-configuration, applications working the way i want them to work, depending on the people knowing a lot of applications, knowing things

harrison barnes, reverse lay- in. 18 for barnes. then, another kentucky freshman.ats back up there. then a long pass. strickland can't finish, but zeller is there for the followup. tarheels down one. then liggins is in the corner. he knocks down the three. kentucky is headed to houston and the final four knocking off carolina 76-59. the road to the final four is ahead for the womens. nnemkadi ogwumike and chiney ogwumike combined for 32 points. they play gonzaga for a trip to indianapolis. hopefully by then the national media will learn how to say the sisters' name correctly. >> ogwumike. a lot of times, i think it's funny, my parents get phone calls, oh, my gosh, i didn't know that was you because i couldn't understand what they were saying. >> ogwumike. >> i heard that last night. someone mispronounced our names pretty bad on espn. >> reporter: no. 1 connecticut in a battle. 5th seeded georgetown takes it to the huskyies. it's a three and a foul. uconn trailed by 7 midway through the 2nd half, but they go on a 16-2 run. dixon for the three. connecticut survived.

eep though he didn't know who he was, the chickens in the barn yard absolutely now -- knew who he was and they said to each other, boy, we got to keep this little bird thinking that he's a chicken because if he ever finds out he's an eagle, he'll rule over us. as a result, the little bird became ashamed of his eagle fought -- features and heritage. they made fun of his eagle beak because she had tiny narrow chicken beaks and of his talons because they had weak, scrawny chicken feet. he even became ashamed of his darkness. y'all ain't done none of that, right? and the beauty and rich heritage of his eagle feathers. at one point in his life he even considered cosmetic surgery. he thought about cutting off half his eagle beak and dyeing half his feathers to look more like a chicken. ironically, his greatest ambition in life was one day to hop, skip, and skip on the fence post and cock-a-doodle-doo like the reast -- rooster. but one day this confused eagle was playing and he looked up jarred -- up ward and saw an eagle in flight. sure enough, this lost bird's mind was blown. he said to hi

it comes down to barnes and noble certainly most recently they all run at the top by people who value books more than anything else with respect to borders especially because it's been such a tremendous turn of management changes. they've brought in people from outside companies who have had experience in the general retail and not have realized their experience did not necessarily translate into what is appropriate for the book business. it's not always been the best fit with respect to what public companies in particular need, demanding higher and higher profits the book business operates on the tight margin. 1% is about average, you were lucky to get to 3%. so as a result this sort of uncomfortable fact operated by people who were not as experienced without the book business works and probably added to the troubles. >> when you look at the bricks and mortar business of booksellers, what you see in the future given what's happened to borders? >> it's interesting you say that because i'm starting to believe more and more we may be witnessing the natural and the change bookstore busin

barnes & noble nook was in the works though it wouldn't be introduced into 2009. so eventually when borders to develop the e-book strategy in selling some additional the readers, they just never were able to catch up in terms of appropriate market share. >> so what happens to the borders e-book reader, cobos? >> cobos says any books that have been bought through borders website are perfectly safe. and sci-fi, but it's also interesting that cobos other partner in australia which incidentally franchises the borders and for various bookstores, they've also declared bankruptcy over there. so, i'm hopeful that cobos' assertions are indeed too but i think it'll be interesting to see if, in fact, the e-books that people bought through borders sites are indeed safe and people can reclaim them and read them as they wanted to. >> so borders has about 642 big box stores across the country. how many are the closing? >> they are closing 200, and the going out of business sales are, in fact, starting tomorrow. i believe the liquidation sales will be between 20 and 40% off. and

one child ran to the barn to alert mom that the house was on fire. that child survived. other seven were killed. >> president obama meets this morning with senior advisors to discuss possibly u.s. intervention in libya. later moammer gadhafi says libyans will fight. that will show their real intention to seize the country's oil. he made his remarks during an interview that ran today on turkey's state-run television. the city closest to the capital, pro-regimen forces shelled the neighborhood with tank and artillery fire and appeared to regain control from rebel forces. >> a magnitude 7.43 earthquake in japan triggered a small tsunami. no reports of anything damage or injuries. this is from nhk television network. as you can see the shaking and the building swaying for about 30 seconds. this is in tokyo. the initial quake -- you see the shaking -- was followed by an aftershock. the specific tsunami warning center did not expect any other areas to be affected. >> along the atlanta coast communities from delaware up for massachusetts are bracing for more rain and more flood

i live literally up the street from the geneva car barn. i see it every day. it is really exciting to see that there are some possibilities. our department funds the youth program that the geneva car barn runs, and it is also exciting to see that we are bringing some of the arts programs into that area. it is true, it is not run out of that facility right now, but we hope in the future that it will be, and it can turn into a vibrant neighborhood. i want to hand it over to my staff now to explain the data collection process as well as key findings. >> good afternoon, my name is sandra, a policy analyst at dcyf. where we are currently in the process is beginning the first year of a three-plan planning process. this created the community needs assessment. we are presenting our initial findings from that. those findings will then inform the next year's process, which is coming up with the allocation plan, which is the so what with the data that we have gathered. the third year will be the request for proposals. the point of today is to present to you what we have

the barns were across the street. so planning is putting forward -- that is more speculative than youth we believe occurred there. i want to remind you that there is no project before the city, if you don't aprove this one. a new project would have to be designed. it would have to go through a certificate of appropriateness. e.i.r. more consultants. more fees. a couple of years, my clients are exhausted. the neighborhood is exhausted. they have no more energy. and basically i wanted to point out that when the planning department says our clients design is extreme, please look at the second alternative preferred by planning. met alic siding. frosty glazz. that i think is extreme. and i would like to just simply say that we would really, really appreciate and the neighborhood and the zellmans ask you to consider the effort, the support and the comments of planning commissioner suingia, formerly a member of your board. thank you. >> thank you. i have a question. about commissioner sugaya. you read from the e.i.r. but did

cow barn.that's imagination. that's creativity. but i remember reading, i don't know why this cracked me up so much but it did, you could actually buy eggs in the farm village. james deering eggs. >> chalfin spent more time on the construction site than the other principles on the project. he knew all of the workmen by name and was said to make sure everyone took a personal interest in their work. in 1915, he commissioned a houseboat for himself at deering's expense so that he could watch the project take shape from a close distance. >> there's a picture of this houseboat with sort of flower boxes and a kind of canvas top area. it had a fireplace in it. it's hard to imagine a fireplace on a boat, but it did. >> vizcaya was built as a solid fortress, entirely of concrete with steel enforced floors, which made the structure resistant to termites, decay, and hurricanes. a steam power tramway delivered concrete to the upper levels of the building while a rail spur, connected to flagler's main line

she ran to the barn and told her mother. the house was filled with smoke. siblings ranged in age from 7 months to 11 years. the cause of the fire is being investigated. >>> and new developments in libya this morning. we just learned that the united nations has opened an investigation into allegations of torture by leader moammar qaddafi's forces. this comes as qaddafi is issuing a new warning. he says libyans will fight back if western nations impose a no- fly zone to keep his regime from using its air force to bomb anti-government rebels. qaddafi's threat came in a threat with turkish television. he blamed the up rising in libya on youths misled and drugged by al qaeda. >>> later this morning, president obama will meet with his national security advisors to talk about libya and how to get qaddafi to step down. the administration insists that if there is a no-fly zone, it would be authorized by the united nations and not the united states. >>> meantime in libya, pro- qaddafi forces have stopped rebels from advancing towards the capital of tripoli. >>> 4:34.
