the general rule is, if someone is appearing before the board or is a party appearing before the board who has been a source of income to him, basically one of his clients, who is paid him 500 dollars or from home he has received 500 dollars in commission the last 12 months he is required to recuse himself. >> i could be anyone other whether a realtor or not. >> that's right. >> any other question? >> thank you mr. honda for being willing to serve. one of the dynamics we have seen around the board of appeals lately is because of the charter allows "any person" even if that person does not live in the city, and regardless to the connection to anything can appeal to the board of appeals. that delays the project a few months. there was an appeal, one person appealed the project, it happened elsewhere as well. and without commenting on specific projects that could come before you, in terms of the general policy, i think there is a case for reform in terms of how appeals go to the board of appeals, making sure there is some level of community support for an appeal before it goes up, and all

look at the before and the after. after sandy hit and before.any people at a loss for words of what was done to their homes and now they must rebuild along the jersey shore. at least 50 feet of the historic boardwalk taken out initially. jennifer davis is live with a look at the damage done there. >> good morning to you. it very much feels like there's a state of emergency in new jersey as you go around the state. multiple homes block it like this. it is beloved by the people who have come here for generations. they chase turtles with black lights in the evening and watch the sunset. it will be a while before they get back to that idealic state. the national guard is out in this community with us as they are around the state providing help. there are still widespread power outages we are told more than half a million people are no longer in the dark. all of these beach side communities took an aerial tour with governor crist tee yesterday. he is promising however long it takes the help will be there. it could take a while. it could take a week b

before we move. to acknowledge the condition of the existing playground is dilapidated, the subject of lawsuit requiring ada compliance and is in need of repairs. exhibit 3 of ceqa addresses the project alternative, which we did receive communications from citizens requesting the note project alternative. i think the zoo master plan does address the need for children's play activity so that a note project alternative is not feasible. i also want to acknowledge the eir, which is dated 1998 is adopted as part of our record in approving this project and that i think the concept plan does achieve the goals of what's referred to in the staff report for ada compliance, environmental education and to also boost attendance at the zoo can we make this into one motion or -- i move we approve the san francisco zoological society conceptual plan for the renovation of the eleanor friend playground, adopt finds ining our package under exhibit 3, acknowledging the mitigation and reporting program measures which are

this did come before the capitol committee. we did move this matter to the full commission for the following reason the matter was heard by the capital committee we didn't have a full package. we do now have a full package, included in your package, which is the mitigation monitoring and reporting program. certificate of determination and exemption from environmental review. and a community benefit plan. so we do now have a complete package. we did move this to the general calendar with the recommendation of approval. i would like make the motion to have this project approved. >> commissioner, is it the resolution that you would like to adopt that is in your binder? >> yes. >> thank you. >> commissioner. >> prior to seconding my colleague's motion, i want to say a week ago i was contacted by the head of the union square association karen flood. she said their association was supportive. i think that is and important vote of approval. so with that if there is nothing elsely second commissioner lowe's motion. >> commissioner boni

that's what is before us. commissioners, if he disclosed his history, and that was a legitimate basis for the department to deny it because of the conviction, i'm not understanding -- >> the department has indicated two things in their denial process. one is that he hid his conviction record as part of the reason why he was denied. >> and it's legitimately applicable to the application. then it seems they properly denied his permit. i'm missing something here. >> well, in my opinion there is no proof of conviction so there is no basis before and we're reviewing de novo there was no basis. in other words, we have no proof before us there was a conviction as defined by the statute. we have nothing and the department admitted that they haven't presented proof of this conviction. we don't know if this man was convicted of anything or if it's within the statute. >> i understand that. so would it be appropriate to continue it . ask the department to stub stageiate their position. >> we asked the department and it wa

there is no harm before the plblghtant because the project is before you at that time. it's on hold because of the appeal. we believe it's important so the full board can make a decision with all the information before it and clearly a failure of notice in this situation. >> counselor, what is the other appeal? what is the nature of the permit on the other appeal? >> i have that actually in front of you and that was to install a hood to accomplish the food preparation that is intended in this restaurant, so that hood is -- the feature that completed the conversion from the gallery to the coffee shop to the restaurant. without the hood they couldn't prepare the food. >> all right. >> we can hear from the permit holder now. >> i'm sorry . i am just a little confused. sorry. the permit to convert to a coffee shop was withdrawn on the same day that -- can you do that chronology again? i am confused. >> we have a march 6 rewithdraw, the permit filed in october. that withdraw the application for the use of coffee shocht the same day it was filed showing it was a coffee shop a

again, before and after. so many of these out here this is one of the marinas that was a before shot and this before sandy and this one after once again one of the piers in new jersey bridges also have been hit hard by the storm. this one is an impressive shot before. that is bridge across. this is the before shot and an area shot of the bridge in new jersey. and across one of the bay areas and after shot the bridge taken out. once again, after the storm rolled through, and this was something we talked about during the extended coverage on abc2 news.com. this is a aerial satellite shot of what was hurricane sandy as it made it's way inland. a year ago we were affected by hurricane irene and we talked about a comparison between the size of these two storms. they have put that together at google and noaa this is hurricane sandy. irene just one year ago, this is the size of hurricane irene. so you see a discrepancy between the size of the two hurricanes that affected us in the past one year. irene and sandy. tha

and while this campaign in our history problems of eleven world that need changing for magically before our eyes that's something we're going to show you next time with twists and turns in the hallmarks of this campaign and what you like what we're going to do to do better if you're going to be like that until. it's gone guys i'm abby martin and this is breaking the set i want to talk about a case of two marijuana growers they were caught on secret surveillance cameras placed by the police on the suspects private property in wisconsin now the two men are facing life in prison and millions of dollars in fines for manufacturing and distribution of marijuana charges now i don't want to get into talking about the drug war that's a mess in itself but i will mention that all of the drug war has been a norm is failure disastrous ways of our tax dollars at an ever expanding prison industrial complex but it's begun to condition american to a life under surveillance just on monday a federal judge ruled that under the right circumstances surveillance cameras can be placed on private property witho

before they take place i mean i rather just ensure that we know who people are so for example when i talk about they're not even required to register the largest cheat a traitor is is a cheat a trading firm in prague czechoslovakia they're the number three cheat a trader by volume if they were at the chicago mercantile exchange number three and we could get their books and records if we thought they did something untoward i mean they're from chuckle slovakia they're going to you know they're going to flip us the boat may could care less what we want so we need them to be registered that allows access to their books and records and then again as i say we need to kill switches and then we need to find these guys by the second when they do something that's against the law ok now that just to get to my point though of enforcement of what is on the books because many people i talk to say we just need to enforce what's on the books as they say it actually works here and here is air con satre and next talking about the changes he noticed after the n.y.s.e. enforcement and after night capita

>> hopefully the week before. >> even the week before that? i see. i see what you are saying, that would be great >> right. and i had trouble trying to schedule a december meeting because our normal meeting date would be the 24th, the night of the 24th. so i am going to... i am going to give that one more go around but we may not be able to have a december meeting. >> the final thing is one of the requests for the future meetings at past meetings was that we do a discussion of the report that the budget analyst harvey rose did comparing us to la. we have decided that before we have that discussion, here at the commission, that we should have interested persons meetings with the public. and get some input from them. so we schedule two of them for december. and then we planned to bring that report before you for the january meeting. >> that is a good idea. >> to answer your question, going back to the scheduling. >> sure. >> so for december, we don't... there is nothing on tentatively schedule for the 14th, december 14th? >> no. >> there is not. >> oka

test-drive snapshot before you switch.gressive.com today. >>> it's now four days until the election and we have reached the point where the campaigns both start pounding their chests and say we're going to win, we're sure of it. i'm not sure why they do this other than the fact that trash talk is always fun in sports and in politics. but maybe there's a sense of people who haven't decided even at this late point in the game will want to side with the guy that's going to be the winner. but regardless, both sides do it every year. in the last few days before the vote in particular. that's why you're seeing david axelrod making a bet that if president obama does not win michigan and minnesota and pennsylvania, he will shave off his mustache. he's betting his face. that's how confident he is. because this is the time in the campaign when you're supposed to project confidence. on the republican side, it's been a little more complicated. after a bad week of polling for mitt romney, top staffers held a conference call with report

it then by state statute sits before the body for not less than 30 days before the commission may adopt, hold, or modify and then adopt the item. >> very good. do we expect that the way it is now to change dramatically? that some of the restrictions could be challenged? >> comments on that proposed decisions have not yen yet submitted. my guess it won't be changed dramatically. >> okay. thank you. >> >> you're welcome and if it's pleases the chairs i will move on to number five, the customer education program presentation. >> okay. >> so what i have before you and on the screen if sfgtv could help. thank you. a program description of our customer notification and education plan. this is our plan as conceived to ensure that we are very responsive to the direction we received from the board, the commission, the mayor to make sure that we are really educating our potential customers and not having any accidental customers or gotcha customers enrolled in the program given it's an opt out program so what we're asking for today is an opportunity to present that program to you, to get your gui

i'm looking at the memo and says term sheet will be before port for consideration. i know there's a lot of concerns coming from our neighborhoods in south beach, rin con hill and mission bay about how quickly this is moving through. understanding how ambitious this is and of course time line warriors are under given their lease expiration at coliseum in oakland but being real concerns about answering the questions and addressing neighborhood concerns within this time frame. between february and april is general. can we get a precise time line? >> february is a target date. april 15th is a benchmark. it is not uncommon in negotiations to have a date but have an outside date which doesn't require any amendments or changes in the -- in the previously agreed upon approvals with policy makers, so i don't have a more specific date between the two. we are committed to take as much time to do a thorough job negotiating the term sheet and bringing it to policy makers. there is from my understanding based upon other ports, there is an interest in understanding business terms

i want to ask you to support the resolution before you. i remember five years ago i was on the task force for the general plan. china town, according to the element in the general plan has china town as high need neighborhood. that mean with list open space per capita in america we have a big population of families with children and senior population with 90%. that means what we have is what we have. and also immigrant and low income community i think is understatement. if i continue to say how much open space we need and how much improvement we need. but i think the good thing about what's before us is we finally have the opportunity to turn policy into outcome. so i ask you to support that. i also want to commend the department. china town development center. really enjoy working with this department. we have a great relationship working with the community. the people. many more. appreciate the respect and sensitivity to the neighborhood. and work collaboratively with the neighborhoods. whether from open space or library to chinese rec c

in fact i told you before. on the entertainment we had more than 60 meetings. 60 meetings publicly noticed devoted to subject of entertainment. the organization c mac, california music and culture industry were notified of all of the meetings. terance allen and shawn manchester and president of cmac and rob remedy and runs the clubs in the city and the director of the entertainment commission got an email every monday morning throughout the process telling them what we were discussing and they choose not to attend 60 meetings of the task force that addressed entertainment. those who did attend representing the entertainment committee did have some difficulty trying to frame coherent solutions, but at one time or another almost everyone on the task force tried to assist them, offered solutions. between 2008 and 2011 this last stage of our process the entertainment component was beefed up significantly, but to them it was never good enough. understand what the western soma plan does provide. a continuation of the

have what you just said about what you've seen in the silver market something i've heard you say before you were saying it a year ago in an interview you said that you watch the silver market in washington intimately and you've seen the suspicious activity at specific times during the trading day on a consistent basis is this something you still watch in that you're still saying yeah absolutely lauren now now when i say do i am i still seeing things that i think are you know against a law etc i can't really comment on it but i am we do often seem see problematic moves in the market we investigate these things all the time i mean every few days and i think people that are involved in these markets involved in silver markets because they e-mail me and and are unfortunate staff and in particular our surveillance staff get involved when they need to. but it's helpful to hear from the public about these things that it's helpful for you to bring these thing to their attention because we need to be on our toes on these issues i've taken tell on for years the column to oh well it's a long time

frequency trading we asked really if you look at it i think went to training has been around since long before the flash crash that was just the first time we really were made aware of the public at large and what the consequences of it can be but really it's been growing since the eighty's so why have regulators been seemingly late to the game or in the best case scenario really reactive on this issue i mean now high frequency trading a seventy percent of volume. well you mean you said it right there i mean because government is reactive i mean that if i have to think about what my job is and what i try to bring that's different to government and this is just one of the things but it is that we can't be reactive we can't just that's called tombstone mentality when you wait for a disaster in a narrowing you know circumstance you wait for a plane crash before you put something in place in markets you wait for a flash crash or or even something like hurricane sandy would shut down some markets we need to be but you need to be looking around the corner and be nimble and quick and that's just for

it would have been better, in my opinion, had that come before the commission before the expiration of the agreement at the end of september. so, if that were possible in the future, i just would prefer not to see retroactive actions like that. and finally, on item k, on the appointment to the sjta, which i did not even know existed, for bodies like that and other bodies on which members of staff or the commission served, it would be nice to get some periodic report as to what is happening, particularly in the central valley. >> you have a very good website. i've been on it many times. >> really? anyway, it would be nice to get periodic reports on those bodies which we appoint people eitherver through jpa, m-o-u or such other instrument. >> we will request such a report, commissioner moran and make sure the report is detailed and easy to read. >>> thank you very much. otherwise, i'm good with all these items. >> so, you'll be back for 10 and 13, right. all right. any other comments on the consent calendar? chair will entertain a motion. >> so moved. >> moved and? seconded. all those in

we've not had a doctor or lawyer on the commission before.committee does not appoint individuals that we have not heard before us. supervisor ferrell, i know you might want to add to that discussion. >> supervisor farrell: first of all i want to thank the existing members of the commission who came here today. thank you for your service. not only in armed forces, but on the commission itself. thank you so much for the time you've spent on that. to the applicants that came here today, thank you as well. not only for applying but for your service. again, as a kid who grew up with his dad in the air force, there's no higher duty and higher honor. so thank you all for what you have done. i agree, there is actually -- also, i would like to see mr. reed -- or at least give him a chance to appear. so let me make a suggestion. although maybe we could talk more about the seat six thing.tñ okay. so seat six says it's not officially to our city)@ñ?ñ? at, it's not officially a disabled seat by the rules of this committee. >> city attorney: that's right/

royo has an enormous task before him. in this converted flour mill in tarragona, many months of preparation are needed before the weaving itself can begin. nearly four miles of heavy cotton line is measured, stretched and chained for use as the tapestry's vertical warp. royo has developed a unique loom for weaving large tapestries. it has been built to accommodate the 20-foot width and the 420-warp threads which must be accurately spaced and held in line. after all the warps have been laid out, each more than 50 feet in length, they areound sy onto a huge drum before finally being transferred to a massive overhead roller and stretched tight. on a cold february morning in 1977, the loom is ready for the weaving process to begin.

he had to leave before he was supposed to go before congress. that doesn't look right, that doesn't smell right. anybody who understands what happens in washington, when a person is pushed out a few days before a hearing, that's the reason for congress to call that person and answer questions about what happened in benghazi and how were four americans killed as a result, what role did the cia play? >> congressman, will you subpoena him? will the committee subpoena him, if necessary? general petraeus? >> potentially, i have spoken with chairman issa in the oversight committee. we thought we would give it a day or two to play out here. we will convene, monday, tuesday and make determinations there. but i think it's imperative that general petraeus testify. i would like it to happen this week, within the intelligence committees. but if we need to bring it before oversight, i think that's a distinct possibility. >> do you think that mike morel will give you the answers that you need? or do you think there are things that only general petraeus would
