fast reactors like the pm six hundred can create more fuel than they actually burn that can then be used at other nuclear power plants as fuel. for the feeling of many innovative solutions will be implemented in the design of this power unit supposing all of this reactor is based on the principles of natural self protection. to be in the six hundred power units active certain as a very even how it density feels the pressure in science of a still is very low which ensures a reduced load on live reactor vessel cuts given the sodium which is used as the coolant is not very corrosive in nature which has a positive impact on construction materials that's a pretty way so to triple circuit cooling system has been applied as well as an intermediate city circuit in which the city in is no longer radioactive it's all the same that flows into turbo generators is already having a number a directive. thanks to that technology the reactor is able to churn out six hundred megawatts of electricity from this hot steam is turned into power and delivered to the region's grid to get a longer lease of life t

and that may not be useful. for the peninsula, i think it is not oyster point, i think it is further down. i wonder if there wouldn't be an idea to stop people driving up the freeway from the peninsula and consider taking a ferry service. >> that is a good vice. we understand in san francisco center. there are couple of major interest of points. the ferry terminal opens next spring. they can make sure they do have a lifting in the summer. the parking garages huge. it is close to the freeway, and we know that the hard service is about four times the service a few if the regular schedule. that drive wheels up pretty quickly so we will see if we can augment their bus lines. one of the most well used alliance is the 120. it will help us by running extra buses. and finally, those three intercept points are going to be a big heart of how we take drivers and keep them from crossing the city line. president o'brien: any public comment on this matter? public comment is closed. thank you again for that very informative rep

we would be able to expedite our analysis and review the concerns that are brought to us in terms of the appeal or whether there is an appeal process available to the employees or whether this can be handled through what we call and inspection service, which we look into matters that are not appealable to the commission. however, we would discuss with the department in the department of human resources whether merit system principles, rules, and policies have been followed by and that employment transaction. and an additional staff person would expedite our analysis and also give us an opportunity to review the department's analysis or reports that they present to the commission, and we can advise the commission whether merit system principles and policies have been followed. supervisor farrell: thank you. to get your opinion on it this, you know, is the second edition, from your point of view, is this nice to have or need to have? as you talk about expediting processes, i completely understand, and i would want to support it really respect what the civil grand jury -- all of their wo

proposed to be increased to $10. this would allow us to cover greater costs. we estimate currently that the fee, the cost to process these papers is about $24. at this point, with this new fee, we would be recovering about $10 for that. so it would still be about a $14 subsidy. this puts us in line with other counties. alameda county charges $18. after we add in all the other fees in terms of access, indexing, social security feet, and the fraud protection fee, the fee goes up from $11 to $70. this is in line with alameda county, which is $11 -- $18. santa clara is $18. san mateo is $15, but they do not charge a frothy. i would be happy to take any questions or to walk you through any concerns you might have. supervisor chu: thank you. the clarification is that we have an amendment of the hole that would change the basic record number from $3 to $4 -- that was just a simple typo? >> madam chair, it was just a change in reference to the existing fee. so it is not a change at all in the fee and does not require any kind of continuance. su

you can buy a fully useful helmut for $6. it does not need to be an expensive model. we will make them affordable for those that want to use them. to remark on the incident that happened on the embarcadero. my sense is the collision happened with someone at random and red light and ran into a pedestrian. i do not think that will be your typical bicycle sharing user. a phenomenon that we have seen worldwide, definitely in this country, again, counter intuitively come as the number of cyclists on city streets increase, safety also increases, and definitely in terms of the collision right. what we're also seeing in other cities is the number of overall collisions also go down in places where you have high bicycle youuse. by inviting more bicycles, you may think that we are inviting more trouble, but time and again, research out there has proved what we call safety in numbers. >> my second question was, is it a first-come first-served or do you reserve? when you go to that station, when you punch whatever do at 80 am station, you have a code or something. how do you actual

>> i envision it being used by, offense, companies that are interested in moving here, that have heard about it, that might normally call us. you are still welcome to call us, but we can also direct you to a site that has a number of listings of space available. i hope that property owners and brokers would use it as well, although there are other services out there of. this will be free for them to post any space available on central market. those are two examples. but it is also for folks who want to go to arts events. we have a calendar we are populating. anyone who has businesses who have promotions, we can boast it all. >> the idea of having this online came about even when we were negotiating with twitter, because we knew their building was only going to be several floors. but there are other companies as well. once we really see that happening, we might want to come in. how do we continue getting updating information about whether or not we can come in places that are close by? we know the innovation has a lot to do with companies locating very closely to companies like this who

this used to be called -- again, the old term was crystal. if you talk to somebody my age, they would say -- because 3/16 was always poured glass and always crystal. they didn't do a twin ground. so it is the same thing as the quarter inch. and you still see it around because they put it in where they're trying to lighten a way. you want to put it in a window so it's not so heavy on a double-hung. it's a good product, but again, you know. you know, it's like window glass, you just have to hit it just a little harder. plate glass, same way. you know, this is what essentially was in i-magnum. this is what's in the mills building. this is what's in the rust building. this is what's in th in the hurt building. there's putty around them. they're going to shift. the wood kind of comes and goes. so it takes quite a bit to break a piece of plate because -- i mean you can -- this will take quite a bit of vertical weight but if it gets bound or whatever, you know, if you just get it in the wrong spot, that's what happens. >> we're seeing some major hig

if someone came to us with a commercial use above the second level that happened to be something, they could argue that it follows that most commercial uses are prohibited. how do we know that is okay or not ok? it describes the neighborhood commercial district. it is followed by the actual table that sets forth the prescriptive controls for the district. while it says most commercial uses are prohibited, it goes on to say that you can have an outdoor activity area. it is no way limited by level. commissioner moore: excuse me. on the code discussion with the zoning administrator, my question to you is that there is a complete misunderstanding of what happens between the ground floor and all of the other stores above it. it has been a description of previous approvals that deal with a hotel occupancies and residential units as these have disappeared. have they been satisfied someplace else? >> those other uses have not disappeared and it is a requirement that they maintain the minimum of open space usable that they are doing on the deck. they may want to put it on the overhead to show t

that used to be us. >> that was president obama, november 2010. comment that inspired the title of "that used to be us." tom friedman's back with me now. big words from the president but not much has changed. heading towards a year later. and china has, if anything, got even further away from america in many key areas that america used to be so dominant. there's lots of views about china. donald trump views them very passionately as the enemy in terms of the way they go about business and the way they've taken american jobs. others i think, maybe those who have been there a lot and i've been there, see it as a very exciting, vibrant place, breaking out of the shackles of maoism and enjoying being very aggressive, skilled, and hard-working business people. where do you sit? >> i'm very much in the second category. and i really believe china is more of a frenemy. more really our sigh meese twin. ninetieth of us can really thrive without the other. they're rapidly growing, obviously a developing country. what we say in the book, piers, is that china -

in common-use a room, which we will call the "community room," which will be for a variety of uses for the residents in the building. we also have a restroom and bicycle storage, which we think is part of the transit plan for this building and the occupants. there will also be a laundry, and the blue part of the plan shows a limited use/limited access elevator. supervisor mar: mr. barcelona, can you again talked about the use? there is some community space for the basement that would be one of the alterations that came from some of the community recommendations? >> yes, basically, the basement is unoccupied, basically storage for the building, and by having an elevator access to the basement, we make it accessible and usable by the residents. the areas in yellow are the other common-use elements. the bathroom. the laundry. the community room. dtv area, a television lounge in that level -- the tv area. supervisor mar: and then there is the bicycle storage and other places. this was one of the suggested changes, and this is something you are planning for the bas

have a kind of controlled bankruptcy you know they were brought into the law and those are going to be used trying to avoid the domino effect so practically. i was on a passion to contaminate the rest of the eurozone maybe we're going to be. sacrificed for them in order to show. that he's going to force spirity measure necessary into the i'm not followed by the letter then the disaster is the only possible where you don't. now that's the key thing that what he was saying about the domino effect is the. very very concerned that if greece. exit the euro then really anyone could leave and the spectators. pinpointing greek would then tend the sights of countries such as italy and spain and they need that really have a very serious problem indeed that could be the end of the money is looking like that control the full is on the cards at some point that's very much like the euro is a need is plan b. remembering of course that their fish alone when this began was that that was planned it now seems that they are having to look at alternatives. very concerned as we said in that people have very conc

brought out of course defensive systems could be used as offensive systems and that's one of moscow's major concerns why is it that the u.s. is reluctant to give a legally binding guarantee that those missile defense systems will not be turning into offensive systems and targeting russia. right because it's part of a coordinated first strike weapon system when there was mutually assured destruction when both sides knew that they would be destroyed in the event of a thermo nuclear exchange or even a somewhat limited nuclear exchange that became a deterrent by setting up a missile defense shield the united states hopes that they will gain a military strategic military advantage over the russians and the chinese not right now for instance but in the in the period to come there's lots of areas of contention there's the south asian area there's the arctic there's central and eastern europe these are all points of potential conflict the u.s. won't give that guarantee because the u.s. indeed intends the us miss. defense shield is part of a first great capability against russia and china in t

this is quarter inch plate. >> what would that typically be used for? >> well, this has got a slight tint to it. but you would -- again, you would find this on windows, oh, a lot of windows in office buildings are -- buildings downtown on montgomery, all high rises that were -- >> is plate tempered or not tempered, typically? >> plate is not tempered, unless -- >> specifically required, okay. >> so in the old days, it was -- you can look at a spec, and some of the old specs, it will say quarter inch pp, which is a give away of how old the architect is. because if it says quarter inch pp that means quarter inch polished plate. at a time, there was a time when plate wasn't polished. it was just kind of rolled out and it would have a slight wiggle to it. and because it was poured one end of the glass would be a little thicker at this end, a little thinner at that end. so when we glaze these things you put the thicker end down because that would be the -- and the wife's tale is glass is liquid

uses. this would be hotel, restaurant uses. people around the state could come to san francisco and enjoy the lands that we hold in trust for them. a bit of background about pier 70. a 60-acre site. it has been in continuous use for ship repair and shipbuilding for 150 years. portions of the site have. not many people know that the federal government owned this site until 1967. it was a base closure before the concept of base closures. port staff undertook a several years long master planning process with the vision to create an historic district that could be listed on the national register of historic places with major waterfront open spaces, innovative for industries and the preservation of that important ship repair operation that employs so many workers in san francisco. the title history of pier 70 is a bit complicated, and really the reason that we need state legislation to resolve these issues, to allow development to go forward. the port acquired a big portion of pier 70 through the burton act. another portion, as dire
