this index is actually incorporating the differential calculation that calculates the market rate and calculates the current value of the rent >> if the person is paying one thousand dollars today i'll simply take when it was last vacant in 18997 multiple the one thousand dollars by 2.055 to come to approximately $2,000 two thousand minus. >> no. you don't have to minus it is the current rate times this index the index is doing it's estimating the market rate to be 2 thousands. >> how said the deflatter. >> the deflatter is a component of this index. essentially this index is the deflatter divided by the market rate inflationary so it's a product of those two things. it's a product of what is our base rent which is how long have you lived in the rent control unit vs. the market rate >> i'm able to profess math was never my i'm not an academic superstar i'm having trouble with what you explained why do we have a deflatter and inflationary separately. >> i'm you using the information that we provide to the rent board we provide the simple index to the landlord and tenants don't have to

so he given all the calculations to mr. strong and mr. strong gave it to mr. white the calculation. there's no request of the letter so, and, secondly, i want to make sure that if you read the september letter it is just a letter proving that the design criteria is sound and the building can be continued the design and carry on through the permit process. so nothing is really hidden from the september 30th letter saying the building is not safe. so the letter you see certified and the review process should be able to continue the review and permit. there is no hidden agenda when i identified that the september letter is available because

. >> next, i want to spend a little bit of time how we calculate emissions so you have an idea. this slide in particular give us a snapshot of san francisco's current emissions so with the protocol the green house gases inventory is focused on looking emissions with fossil fuel and electricity consumed within the city. in other words, we are measuring the tailpipe of the emissions. the concerns addressed in the climate action strategy and we talk about how emissions are calculated the ports speak this method of tracking emissions, you know, underestimates the climate impact on san francisco's economic. why everything imported to san francisco or manufacturers here has a con sumgsz. take cell phones f we have have one. it's important to science think about it every time a cell is generated think about the material that were extracted and the heavy metals and the water and public comment and every kind of material we consume in san francisco whether a cell phone or a plastic water bottle approximately 70 tons of materials were mfrtsdz upstream. within 6 months there's another prod

the first amendment addresses what was addressed by supervisor wiener in which the calculation is made i'm making an amendment that the estimating annual changes in the rental market that the market data that reasonably reflects the example of the apartments in san francisco the chief economist ed will present briefly and shortly on the exact method that will be used and thinking how to implement that we explored different options including having the process go to the rent board in terms of the original calculation and it was based on on the decisions that the advise was given it will be good forbid the controls office to come up with with the physical formula the second is when the calculation is made we believe that the controllers formula provides an estimate of the market rate in san francisco. we recognize in a given case the estimate of a unit could provide a better assessment so we made a second amendment to the ordinance that creates an appeal proposals and the appeal process will allow the learning to question a hearing at the market rate if the estimate is too high and other

then, based on the physical evidence and the calculations of dr. blythe, he reconstructed the events that preceded the fatal collision. >> from this viewpoint, you can actually see that the lead car is halfway over the center line and the labarge car in front of this car is also a couple of feet over the center line. >> now comes the view from the fourth car driven by a key eyewitness, mona crocker, who told mait investigators she had seen the accident happen. >> she testified that at no time did she see any of the three secret service cars cross the center line. she also testified that she saw the accident occur. >> kayfetz's reenactment told a different story. >> so this is mona crocker's viewpoint. and what's important here is that, although the lead car ahead of her goes halfway over the center line, straddles the center line, from her viewpoint, that is never visible because it's around the curve and over the hill. >> crocker thought she could see the position of the cars. in fact, she could not. from the beginning, the critical question in th

the best calculation is it has gone south. there was the two big arcs they marked off from where the satellite received pings before it crashed. this was at the southern end of the southern arc. they calculated where they thought the plane would have run out of fuel and gone in. as i understand it this coinc e coincidecoincid coincides with that area. it's a logical place for the wreckage to be in. that means a lot too. we'll see. >> i know you'll be standing by for us. thank you very much. it's three minutes past 2:00 in the morning here on the east coast. recapping our breaking news. tony abbott says objects possibly related to the missing malaysian plane have been spotted. he says locating the objects will be difficult and they could turn out to be unrelated. he says he has spoken to his malaysian counter parts. malaysia flight 370 had 239 people on board when it disappeared more than a week ago. joining us from washington is kerry sanders. what can you tell us? >> reporter: i just got an e-mail from navy commander william

they knew -- they calculated these corridors based on that. then people eliminated the northern corridor because they said it's over land, you would have seen the plane on radar, so concentrating on the southern corridor. last friday, the ntsb, american investigators, made this calculation based on how much fuel in the plane where on the southern arc they thought it might be, and that's the area where they are concentrating. sure enough, the satellite turned up this wreckage that may or may not be the plane wreckage, but might be. >> obviously -- >> now today, you have a new and more refined calculation by the owner of the satellite, which is in great britain, and saying, yeah, we really know for sure it was on this southern corridor, but they are not saying where, so the search continues. >> absolutely. let me bring in commander burgess here. we had an opportunity to speak with you last week here. bob breaking down the information, i think in a way many people have been following this now understand, but, obviously, the challenge, the unknown

there are certain computers that are better at calculating an advantage. so there are few examples i can give because i would like to make this concrete. a really good one is health insurance in the united states. so as it happened, i was a consultant to what i won't mention which place it was but i was a consultant to what was at that time the largest health insurance company in the u.s. and i was present at the moment of the transition. so the ceo was a meeting with computation, data and networks and gathering information and calculating things. he suddenly had this revelation. he said wow our business just turned up side down. before now if i wanted to make my business more profitable, if i wanted to grow it, i have to ensure more and more people. and i was trying to get people that my competitors didn't get on my rolls. now, since i can start to correlate data with people individually, my best bet is few people as possible, insure people who need it the least. and thus we had the beginning of this crises that has led most recently to the obamacare cont

information from the controller's office specific from ted egging can the chief environmentalist in the calculation terms of the rental differential will be made. i know ted will be here to testify on that. and i wanted to if i may have a followup a brief follow-up with the executive director of the rent board. in specifically to talk about the issue of landlord hardship and i just want to be clear for the record that, in fact, there's a process that's been fold by the rent board in determining that while the standard may be different than a tenant hardship that stated exists. i want to use this opportunity to ask that is wolf to the chair come up >> yes. ms. wolf. >> executive director of the rent board supervisors. i hope that you received the decisions that i've forwarded to you via e-mail how the department has dealt with the landlord hardship we've dealt with it less frequent than the attempt hardships. while we don't have the same standard for tenant hardship were we use the hud delores that tenant should not be packing paying more than 33 percent that didn't work for landlord hardship but th

good forbid the controls office to come up with with the physical formula the second is when the calculation is made we believe that the controllers formula provides an estimate of the market rate in san francisco. we recognize in a given case the estimate of a unit could provide a better assessment so we made a second amendment to the ordinance that creates an appeal proposals and the appeal process will allow the learning to question a hearing at the market rate if the estimate is too high and otherwise with the respect to the tenant as well. it's important to give each party an opportunity to appeal whatever the formula results in. and the final amendment is something that supervisor cowen referenced which say we recognize this ordinance requires a payment amount that's far too difficult for a small landlord to pay so for that reason we've created a process where landlords can request a hardship adjustment and we building that's appropriate. it's fair to recognize that not only all landlord are not equal and when you're dealing with a major corporation the impact of the ordinance will be

i think they are much more positive about it now, based on new calculations, but this is coming from great britain, from the owner of this satellite, which got the information from the plane, which is not communicating from anyone, but got interrogation from the plane's acars system, so they can pin point it's in the south indian ocean and know there's no chance it went to land anywhere. >> what would make it go south, what would make it make that turn? >> yeah, and that is just nobody can guess, really. but i do think that enough passed digging into the pilot and copilot, it's slow work and will need to go on with that, but i wonder if everyone was too quick to dismiss the idea of some other catastrophe happening in the plane, mechanical problem, or could be smoke, could be decompression, something like that. and also, you could say they are dealing with enough time to communicate on the radio or one of the scenarios for dealing with smoke in the cockpit, for instance, is to shut down all the circuit breakers, so that would explain the loss of communication, loss of the radar, every

he thinks putin is making some calculations.was another very interesting moment during this news conference when president obama was asked about mitt romney's claim to you during the 2012 campaign, that russia is the u.s. top geopolitical foe. the president took exception to that. he said he still doesn't feel that mitt romney is right. he said he's much more concerned about a nuclear bomb going off in manhattan than the russians, who he called a regional power that is threatening its neighbors. a bit of a jab there at putin. >> certainly was. tell us what the major news on nsa surveillance that the president spoke about today. >> reporter: that's right. the president confirmed what his administration basically said earlier this morning, is that the nsa is no longer going to be in the business of holding on to that phone metadata. the phone companies hold on to that data and then the nsa could go in there and search it when they need to. the president is expected to make a more complete proposal in the next couple of days. but f

they have made some calculations based on this technical data, and what they believe the flight path could have been if they could have calculated it based on the radar returns, the so-called blips or pings, they believe the airplane was flying for five hours over the indian ocean. it was an airplane that matched the description and the engine type on this malaysian airlines flight. there was no other aircraft in the region at the time that matched that technical description, that matched the data, the blips coming off the plane. so definitive, no. but good reason to believe it was malaysian airlines flying there. so they have the blips out four to five hours over the ocean. they technically analyzed and use computers to figure out the calculation, where was the satellite in relationship to the earth -- >> how did they get it didn't end up on land? >> well, it may well have, anderson. nothing is definitive. what we are reporting is as time has gone on, and they make the calculation, the path takes them in these two ways. there are islands there. there are some pieces of land out in t

now, we have a free net price calculator available for colleges. some put their own. some are better than others. you know, i think about, a college board a recent survey. more than half of the students ruled out schools based on sticker price without considering the full effect of financial aid, and i think, and it said many of, chose to attend less selective colleges than they were qualified for because they incorrectly believed that are priced out of the other schools. i was wondering if you had any thoughts about the net to calculator and what the department of education can do to incentivize colleges to make these calculations more user-friendly for students? >> we've been very focused on financial letters he and outreach and making sure that students -- literacy. to make good investment decisions. and there've a been a number of items we put out like the financial aid shopping sheet that makes students compare student loan packages and financial aid packages across institutions. but your point is even before that, you know, students make decisions about colleges

if they could just calculate the whole world, we could have security. in fact, what you can calculate is not complete enough to give you that. you fall prey to institutional illusions. >> you believe that there is a solution? micro-payments are one way out. i currently think that they look like the best solution. here is how works. any time you contribute in your little way to a so-called automatic intelligent system, if you are a translator and your translations are written to the database, you would start to get a little bit of money on the basis of your contribution. what would happen is that most people would not make much money in most ways. it would be rare for somebody to make a living from one particular form of this. most people would get something. i have evidence for this. before i go into the details of how it works, i have to point out that the conception of digital networks, the origins, are precisely this. if we go back to 1960 when we saw the first proposal for digital network, they were proposing a universal micro-payment system. if you

they have made some calculations based on this technical data.t they believe the flight path would have been if they could have calculated it based on the radar returns, the so-called blips or pings from what they believe the airplane was, an airplane flying out four to five hours over the indian ocean. it was an air frame that matched the description and the engine type on this malaysia airlines flight. there was no other aircraft in the region at the time that matched that technical description, that matched the data. the flblips coming off the plan. so definitive, no. but good reason to believe it was malaysia airlines flying there. so they have the blips out four to five hours over the ocean. they technically analyze, use computers to figure out the calculation, where was the satellite in relationship to the earth, where were the radar returns, where do the pings come from. >> how do they get it didn't end up on land? >> reporter: well, it may well have, anderson. nothing is definitive. what we are reporting is as time has gone on and they ma

but what we've discovered and i think we'll have new numbers because we are just calculating our last term. that more and more students are on track to graduate through these credit recovery options and we are meeting our goal so close of graduating all students with the graduation requirements. this has been a great collaboration between the city and the hard work of our school district and also uc and in your department. thank you. >> thank you. actually my office did send in the numbers for this year's seniors class to graduate through 2005. this combines both the sophomores and juniors. i did want to ask about online classes. i'm sure there is a major improvement since. i was on the board of education. one feedback i often heard from students was that online classes were boring. they weren't a really fulfilling way to learn. a big concern i know needn't supplemental discussion last year is online classes the way to help support since they were offtrack to graduate. seems like there is other thinking around online classes and what does it mean to have just one coordinator. how does

i don't think that would have changed his calculation.on't believe he would have felt we would've sent the man. go back to the 1950's when vladimir putin went to czechoslovakia. we were arms to the teeth in western europe at that point. we did not respond to the soviet invasion of czechoslovakia because of the strategic calculation, not because of how many troops we had there. host: when the president called russia regional power, not a superpower, what was the reaction by vladimir putin? guest: his biggest trouble is he has to much pride. he is using it in the wrong direction. russia wants to be thought of as a global power and a global player and they're going about it all the wrong way. if you want to be a global layer, grow yourself economically and have a more credible government. this is instructive about the ukraine. the reason that vladimir putin was concerned about ukraine is he saw the ukraine drifting towards the western orbit and he thought this weakens russia. said of ukraine dependent on russia, they will drift for the west.

the quicker we find it, the better that calculation is going to be.ebris we find, we would like to find a large debris field, not just one or two pieces that would make it a better calculation. so that's not an exact art. i think we need to make it a two-pronged approach. we still need to try to refine any of the electronic data that we have, both from satellite imagery and all the other incompetent put thinput we are g from the scientists with air france. they had a better flight path to work with and they eventually went back and scrubbed the data better. so that third look that they made to pick up the black boxes was based on some data that they had already looked at but went back and re-evaluated and had a better spot to look at and eventually did get the black boxes. so you have to look at that data a second and third time to really give you a much better point to start at. so we can't put the underwater search equipment in prematurely. right now, it is just too big of an ocean. >> bobby, i do appreciate your expertise. we are going to be checki

actually sfusd doesn't calculate. we use cde's numbers because they have a complicated formula. students that leave, if they left at 10th grade, they won't count that student anymore. >> what does it mean to leave the district? >> they went to another district like oakland unified. >> can it calculate the students that go to other districts? >> the second comment, it's not a question but it could be or comment that i like to make is something that i would like to hear from a city's perspective is how the city can support our students from graduating. sfusd policy leaders in curriculum and education and that's not a place that i think we can give a lot of feedback on but where we can be supportive is knowing what external circumstances impact the success of our students. so is it families having stable affordable housing, is it public safety, if we know what those top external issues are how can we support you when we are talking about the summer bridge program. and that factor of students not succeeding, how can we get organizations like students at bishop to applying for afford

the national transportation safety board calculation suggested it went to the south. what was influencing yours and other experts' belief that the south was the most likely spot? >> kerry, when i first got that first piece of information about the radar track, where it ended during the handoff, we all assumed, okay, something catastrophic because it fell off radar right there. once we got that second piece of information from the military radar with the hook turn and then a track outbound, i was -- i'm an investigator, so you've got to think what a logical, prudent pilot would do, and then you have to think about what an illogical pilot would do if he's trying not to be tracked. it was obviously they turned the transponders off because they didn't want to be tracked. it's obvious he turned them off so he couldn't be tracked. geographically, where is the quietest area that i can fly and it was that southerly track. okay, if i'm going to fly and disappear, that's the perfect place to disappear. that's why i've always said that airplane was down south and i always though

much to the surprise of some of the farmers, the calculations often show that the plot requires little or no additional nitrogen in this second application to achieve maximum yields. these techniques will not only reduce the environmental impact of excess fertilizer but will also save the farmers money, a fact that was very appealing to the credit unions. matson: ultimately, when they saw that the handheld-radiometer approach works and that could save their farmers a lot of fertilizer and thus save them a lot of money, they decided to invest in them for their members. so the credit unions themselves bought the handheld radiometers for all of their members to use. and they bought it because it was a money-saving device. narrator: while not all wheat farmers in the yaqui valley have adopted this practice, the researchers are making progress in this pivotal year. dr. ortiz-monasterio: last year we had only seven fields. this year we jumped to 174. so in my opinion, this year is crucial. if we are successful, i think this is going to explode and be widely adopted. and i think this is a won
