buffer >> thank you. i think what there is also i want to get to the clustering issue there's a concern among a lot of us here about the testimonies that were given especially in the mission about the number of mc d that are - if we could address that in some fashion i'm open to dr but i'm sort of leaning toward conditional use in the sense that that puts the on us back on the applicant for the necessary and desirable but if we retain the dr we're saying if there's a problem it's kind of like the reserve but i'm okay to stay with it for now but perhaps we can address the clustering under the circuit courts u process >> what we do in the excelsior mission district we'll come to you next week for the other locates but this is to relocate within 5 hundred feet that's in the report. >> i'm okay with that if for some reason there's any interest in the cu route we can consider lowering the fee for that one use i think maybe. anyway, that's off in the future. let's see. if we keep dr and have finding then he thi

the second way to reduce the buffer from 6 thousand to 3 thousand the buffer the federal government will most likely target the mc d near the schools but the rule is a blunt instrument it didn't take into account the densities the biggest pen about it expand the green zone throughout the city and the significant expansion that lacks mc d in particular the western areas, however, this options will meet with the "x" potential to kids. the final way to expand the green zone. mc d are trial court the ground floor their concerns over the loss of dwelling unit, however, they're required to be ada assessable it will help address some of the impacts that the mc d these have on pedestrians. so take into account all of those to the maximum and we're not recommending all of the options this is what the green zone looks like the dark erroneously is the current green zone and the yellow is where it's expanded. you can see the large area in the south eastern portion of the city basically included more zoning districts into the green zone are the expansion on the west side of the city is more with slin

simple -- buffers. simple, common sense, which would indeed merit the support by virtually all of our colleagues. we have seen that the last-minute efforts by the bush administration to circumvent protections for mountain top removal were rejected by the courts because they did not deal adequately with the requirements of the endangered species act. we are still facing the specter of taking the debris from mountain top removal mining and putting it in our streams and waterways. and we would sentence our states to be able to not -- not be able to put in place more effective and stringent protections if they wanted to, but force them to follow this tdated and rejected proposal and wait until 2021 to be able to move forward. mr. speaker, this is an expression i think of frustration on the part of some of my friends on the other side of the aisle for the fact that they are on the wrong side of history, they're on the wrong side of science, they're on the wrong side of public opinion. and simply declaring th

it's always had a buffer. that buffer has been reduced from the cold war to ukraine.tin is a brutally rational actor, the dilemma is that he has a high pain threshold and he probably is willing to pay a higher price that is in russia's long-term interest to have a sway in the future of ukraine. >> steven, wasn't america a bit too quick to -- if you look at somewhere like egypt, it's very easy to back the new horse without really being sure what that new horse is going to do and then regret it later? >> i think that's right. and the issue in russia of course is that ukraine is right next door, as p.j. said, it's always been considered a vital interest for them and when we began to lean, even indirectly or tacitly in favor of the demonstrators, this is another indication of the united states trying to incorporate what they see as their sphere of interest. >> vladimir putin said it was utter hypocrisy from the americans, they march around going into iraq, afghanistan, libya, whenever they fancy it, whenever it suits them in a national interest. what's wrong with me doing

chairman, it stops the administration's unnecessary rewrite and implements the 2008 stream buffer zone rule that i mentioned took five years to put in place. it then directs the department to responsibly study the impact of the rule for a prescribed period of time prior to initiating another new rule. this will provide certainty to the economy, to the individual states and allow a clear examination of what may be needed and changed in the future. this bill will make certain that a new rule is written properly. now, some will attempt to criticize this bill for the fact that it puts in place the 2008 rule that was vacated on a very narrow technical ground by a federal judge last month. there is really nothing new here, however, mr. chairman, because this is the exact outcome that the administration has been seeking for over five years, get rid of the 2008 rule. but let's be clear what the court ruling and subsequently the department's actions really mean. the court ruling strikes down the more protective 2008 rule and sets us back 30 years to a less restrictive 1983 rule. the 2008 rule i

and then i would also the one thousand buffer around the recreation centers if that would have been removed we would have another mc d in the neighborhood. so really think those changing those types of green zones doctor the other issue is looking at where the zip codes are coming from the 941898 it shouldn't be impacting my neighborhood when folks are coming across from other parts of city thank you. >> next speaker. >> >> i must say i'm a bit surprised are aren't more speakers here to speak against the medical issues. but my first point would be that san francisco i think the number is 29 medical cannabis dispensaries. i realize the cluster but i assume you will have you have looked at the map of potential mc d locations that the planning department puts out. according to that map. potential locations all over the city for the cannabis there is is the sunset and norway yeg street and park side and north beach and marine a and they've had troubles locating in those large number of locations i seem it's because on pearl street there was a lot of opposition but f this is a run around the ope

ukraine needs to be the buffer state, crimea needs to be exactly where it is with russia, where it's been for over 350 years and we need to stop the passionate statements and get down to business and work this out. we don't need a war. >> believe me, with that sentiment, i'm 1,000% in agreement. there are people who say, look, people do not predict or u.s. intelligence didn't do a very good job of foreseeing the fact that vladimir putin would send these unmarked soldiers into crimea. >> let me tell you, i can only imagine that john brennan who was too preoccupied with trying to spy on the senate of the united states, particularly assissi and miss this. my 4-year-old grandchild would know that given the history of russia, crimea was going to be just as panama for us in '89 and '90. russia has it's near abroad doctrine, call it what you will, it's what great powers do within their sphere of influence. >> let's say they decide that donesq is close to the russian border they don't want hostile forces to take those, they do the same thing they did in crimea. unmarked soldiers come in, i m

were able to pass legislation that was unanimously approved by this board that created a 25-foot buffer zone around the planned parenthood health clinic that not only protects the patients, the women that are trying to seek and get reproductive health services from planned parenthood, but also protects the workers who on a daily basis risk themselves and protects them from the bullying, the harassment and intimidation that these anti-choice extremists are engaging in. without adrian's tenacity, advocacy, we know that the rights of so many women would have been trampled upon, that they would not have had access to basic help. and the thing that bugs me the most about these types of protesters is that they always go to the neighborhoods that -- where you find women of color, working women who do not have a mean to access basic health services. adrian is a communications veteran and public policy expert who until recently had the very important title here in bay area of communications director for this clinic. and as is the case with people who have the talent and the credentials and the t

it is a buffer, literally and figuratively, this gives them a buffer against all these nato allies here? >> he would like to have ukraine join this union. there's no question about it. he's misplayed it. his man in ukraine did not deliver and the ukrainians have made ill clet clear they want t west. take crimea, what does that do? it creates a territorial dispute between ukraine and russia. because of that territorial dispute, the european countries will be reluctant to take into the eu, to take into a nato, a country that has a territorial dispute with russia. so it freezes these countries between east and west, buys him time so over the long-term, he can continue his persuasion and his blackmail to try to bring them east rather than west. >> i'm glad you brought countries with territorial disputes. so here's another one, georgia, bring up the map there, so you can see that, georgia, the last country he invaded in 2008. you have these two provinces which are now under russian control. it makes it harder for georgia to become a nato-eu member? >> exactly. >> do you think vladimir putin

let's look at parking for example, the area with the white stripes are call the hatch area it's a buffer to prevent cyclists from getting doored >> reporter:parking in the hatch like this driver is doing can set you back anywhere from 25 bucks to 85 bucks now chances are if your wheel is just touching it nothing will happen but at golden gate park you will find drivers parking all over the place and not every bike has two wheels go parking properly gives everyone ample space >> reporter:now the bike lanes, the woman with the puppy is only part of the problem, you find joggers using the bike lane this guy is pushing a stroller with headphones >> reporter: >>sir . sir >> reporter:and if he can't hear the officer yelling how can he hear s bicyclist rolling up, although some riders are using the bike lanes some are driving in traffic lanes >> reporter:why is it every other city can get it right except san francisco . it boggles the mind! in golden gate park stanley roberts kron 4 news return still ahead-- >> catherine: the new rules which fans will have to play by -- at the 49'ers new stadiu

there will be a 2 to 5-foot buffer strip for the parked cars that open their doors and whatnot. and then there will be the three travel lanes and parking on the north side of the street. we also have looked at the potential for adding a dedicated westbound cycle track. however, that has not gone through the full mta/dpw review process. so -- and it could result in some potential conflicts with the existing transit service from the temporary terminal. so, we're looking at the possibility that this project right now just approving the one way cycle track which will be coupled with the howard street bike lane. but it does allow for a bike by doing this at grade and how we've set up this one way cycle track, it allows for the future development of a two way of a westbound cycle track on the north side of the street. we are planning to submit the full design development documents to dpw, mta planning for all the other city agencies to review in the summer of this year. we'll also be coming back to you with an amendment to the previously approved contract with dpw to continue managing

experiencing a buffer, pushing your bowels out your rear. different. a lot of noise. you don't play clubs with a cleaning schedule, a guy coming in the morning emptying the beer bottles. you play the warehouse. if you travel around you will see the exact same kind of weirdos doing their own thing. it is like in the bay area it's even more absurd. there seems to be more people that in a place like new york or tokyo. we did a show in new york, i didn't think that anyone was at hardly, and people come up and said i saw the show. i wish they had some kind of breakfast noise going on over there. i think a lot of people were being, walking out of the shows. that was incredible. i can't believe it's over already, after two hours. if you are reluctant to enjoy something like this it will probably take a mass of peers to sell you on it. it's fine if you stay away. most of the people that come to the shows are pretty happy to be here. you may not be one of them. which is fine.

really good buffers have really good capacity. co2 dissolved in water as a bicarbonate has pretty good buffering capability. once all the buffering capacity is used up, the p.h. change is precipitous. the p.h. shifts radically and directly as anything else is added to the solution. you lose any control you had over the chemical reactions. and here's where she makes the connection. "the oceans are where much of our excess co2 is going. so far the oceans have been absorbing the co2 but the coral reefs and star fish on the west coast of america don't lie. we have no idea how much buffering capacity is left or not. if we keep this up, we will have a well-carbonated acidic and quite dead ocean." that's not something i can bear leaving for my children and grandchildren. she adds, "and i'm a registered republican a conservationist in the real sense." a letter from nila m. mcdonald in situit, massachusetts. "we're about two miles from the coast. in 25 years we could be flooded out. also storms are worsening and we have been left without p

when it sees the buffer zones around mother russia being threatened, the very name ukraine means the border. when they start seeing that status quo in this border region, buffer region being disturbed, they're going to take action. we saw that in afghanistan, we're seeing it in ukraine, we saw it in hungary and chek czech czechoslovakia in the 50s. i think it takes what it has and pockets it. there's no chance that anybody was going to take action and there's no chance that any countries are going to push russia out of the crimea. that part is to important for the strategic aspirations of the russians and i have no doubt they'll do what they need to defend it. i am reminded in 1979 there was a lot of talk and huff and puff, we boycotted the olympics, we tried to put sanctions in the way but the russians at the end of the day stayed there for a decade. >> he says he does not see this going away any time soon and the russians will stay as long as they can. >>> the new farm bill could cutz millions frocutmillions from thp program. plus: >> i think it's important to be out there and i th

the buffer zone rule that's been proposed by o.s.m., the office of surface mining and reclamation, that is a very troubling rule. it would have adverse effects on all kinds of coal mining way beyond what the stated intention is. the stated intention is to protect the quality of streams in the appalachian area, but this rule goes way beyond that. this would have the effect of closing down much of the coal mining in that part of the country. so it is overkill. it is way beyond what is necessary, and that is -- and to do a whole rulemaking process, mr. speaker, is flawed. we had a very good rewrite of the rules that was done in the last administration and that went through millions of dollars of effort, many years of rulemaking, taking comments and the end result was a very satisfactory rewrite of the older rule. and yet without even letting that fully take effect, this administration is throwing that rule out and wanting to go to an overly stringent and unrealistic rule. . let's go back to the last rule that was done through the proper procedures. so h.r. 2824 is a good piece of legislati

he doesn't like how the cold war ended so he's building a buffer, evidenced by what he did in 2008 in georgia and now what he's doing in crimea. do we have cards to play? we have leverage in the game. it has to be through diplomatic needs building up the alliance system in europe which has been weak with nato and the eu. it will have to be working in concert with people like china, even though they are giving mixed signals and they have conflicts of their own. in the end, where it hurts, the reputation issues like weather russia is going to host the g-8. things that get to their national reputation and most of all, the oil and gas trade, the bread and butter for russia's economy. we are sitting in a unique position today that we didn't have a decade ago, that is strength in the gas and oil sectors. we should be working with the consumers in europe, who are now buying from russia and reliant on russia to change their purchasing patterns a bit. that's the kind of thing that would really result in leverage vis-a-vis russia. i suspect that's in the minds of the policymakers. >> you get th

and again, they have an interest in expanding their buffer zones by influence. don't think by russian occupation. but by influence in cases like the crimea and other places that it's in their interests to keep pushing out the buffer zone. and the big one that started this was the absolute retreat on our missile defense system in poland and czechoslovakia. caused huge problems for our al lies and emboldened the russians and it's been a downhill slide since. >> you say sending u.s. ships to the black sea probably doesn't make sense. you say that we should just boycott the g-8 summit in sochi. would you kick russia out of the g-8? how tough would you get in terms of economic trade and commercial transactions with russia? >> i clearly would start the process to remove them from the g-8. and i would do it in a very public way with milestones that they could either meet or lose their opportunity continue serving the g-8. i don't believe russia believes that is always in their number one best interests. they still have eventual will and i know people say they lost thei
