to a risk category 2. every high-rise and office building in san francisco per code is built to the risk category 2 level. the code is specific on which a code 3 building should be provided and that's buildings that have obviouscy levels for group occupancy of 3 to 5 hundred people or more. the fact that this building like every other high-rise in san francisco risk 2 size standards didn't make it less dangerous. the life safety standard, in fact, the design uses in this case by m k a predicted an absence of a collapse the maximum standard event. the same prediction used in a design risk category that building it's, in fact, being built to the standard equal to every high-rise building in san francisco that's been sdrooind designed in the last 10 years. and we're making all the standards and material that has been submitted and the other side concedes everything is pursuant and consistent with the code. the code describes the categories and what risk category the building is designed to and that's, in fact

that's a second category. the third category, those who are poor because of the chances that they take and the choices that they make. there are character deficits there who are alcoholics, who have babies out of wedlock and whatnot, to that last category, giving money to them only injures them with a helping hand. i said that my own niece back in the '90s was an alcoholic, living in public housing. she had a small child. i spent a year and thousands of dollars tryings to wean her off of that. found her an apartment in arlington, virginia, away from philadelphia. found her a job. and i went to pick her up at 2:00 in the morning at one of the most dangerous public housing projects in philadelphia when i went out at 2:00 in the afternoon. she was drunk. and i couldn't compete against a public housing. i couldn't compete against food stamps. it was only after welfare reform two years afterwards where she compelled therefore to go out and work. and now she is on her feet. i say that to say that it's important for

and for many of these business categories you're either going to have an proirpgs or a 50/50 portion where half your receipts will be allocated based on where your receipts are and the tangible property and half based on your payroll expense. take your total amount for your sales and receipts accrue then half is based upon our payroll expenses. there is going to be a 5 year phase in of this tax. we recognized and the board of supervisors when we drafted this to recognize this was a big change. they didn't know and there's no one anyone can know heading into this if you picked a certain rate what amount of revenue this is going to generate for the city. so the southerners for the businesses communicate their concerned that the biz businesses in san francisco are getting taxation's too much. the city picked a rate that was too low we won't collect enough forbid the taxing tax and we will end up with a deficit. in order to alleviate those concerns for the first year it's interpret percent of what was approved by voter. you recall i mentioned .075 percent for on the first million in reta

we went through each sub category and tried to break down those into further categories that appear toe of interest related to formula retail. so while cfo shops fall under limited recuperate cfo shops tend to be a hot bottom issue we have the local chains and we have large chains so we tried based on the codes based on the brad street data for the interests. >> seems like reaching 50 percent is a little bit high to me >> that's stripping data. >> you're looking for feedback open the 4 topics. those are fine with me. i didn't acquit understand in red our term which says our relationship between new formula and retail businesses. does the two of the ones our suggesting you study employment impacts of formula retail vs. independence in relationship to the formula retail and independent retail kind of overlap >> we tried to pull out as many pieces and combine them into topics. we can't do a comprehensive study that's why there's a portion in red. we wanted to make sure we disabled the full list like the tops that are of interest our data doesn't support. other people are knuckling study a

you're talk being a big category. if anybody comes out against it or if anybody goes against the new democratic line of stuff, they're going to be -- it's going to be hard in certain areas. now, you know what solves it? when the economy crashes, when the country goes to total hell and everything is a disaster, then you'll have riots to go back to where we used to be when we were great. but the fact is that it's not easy on republicans 'cause you have a lot of people that like their lives right now without working. >> isn't this actually killing the american dream, though? the desire to work, the dignity that comes with it, or is this just deception because the reality isn't working and they need a different narrative? >> elisabeth, it's total deception.

to some extent -- to a large extent, these agnostic categories in the way they are applied reflected judgments medicine has made collectively in the individual positions applied, fully believing they're doing the right thing once they come to see some of these diagnostic categories as truth that they don't question. then they apply with a false sense of applying the oath. let me give you another example of this. pervasive reality that.there is her saying now to some kinds of help here. they are erroneously expensive than this provides maybe a small chance of a clinical benefit. in other words, they are rational in their private settings, rationing care is the political care act is implemented. i was involved in the development of the health reform plan as an advisor and speaker for president obama when he was a candidate. we discussed this and this is really hard. it's really hard issue. it's inevitable. the way that this plays out when i talk a lot about this in the book that they were embedded in diagnostic categories rather than being made explicit. i can tell you a majority of th

and in particular, the development of a new reporting category which is transitioning age youth, which is roughly 16 to 18 through 24 which is a separate reporting group, and was not previously profiled effectively in the county and which arose out of a national observation that the typical count logistics and methodology excluded certain groups such as families and especially children in their data collection efforts. so, thats was resulted in just under -- just around 00 additional persons found in the 2013 count that were in this unaccompanied youth category, the transition aged youth. so, there's just been an ongoing participation in these best practice reviews and we've seen a very good, steady increase in the qualitative efforts in the point and time count to more effectively profile and provide outreach services during the count. the youth -- the youth in particular which was a special kind of independent outreach effort was with the cooperation of a lot of local service providers, of youth service, homeless youth services including larkin street as well as many others. and othe

on this topic was on the agenda. >> and so, these categories were part of the review of that group of cases. and so, of those, of that group of cases were there any kits that did not fall in one of those categories that were retested my understanding is that there were. >> these were of all of the cases that were reviewed by captain fox there was one case, out of that group, where an abundance of caution, captain fox said that this evidence gets tested. >> but these are the review, and it was a review of every case file by you know, svu, inspecters that, and that is their specialty and that is what they do day in and day out and so they reviewed those and came up with the different categories and i think that these things, just sort of jumped out off of the page because the categories that were the most associated with why the determination was made as to why to test the testing. >> those cases the kits was not tested they stood by the decision not to test the kit. and do you know if the victim was notified, and the kit was tested. >> each of the survivors in this case are unique. >>

you are good to go on that category of benefit. depending on where you go it's 100 percent ppo and 80 percent at premier dentist. any other questions? >> what does this cost? hopefully everybody, i want everybody to be aware there has been a change of some of these numbers. initially when we quoted one which says we get the waiver, nothing else changes. all the structure of the benefits that occurred are the same except we have the d and p aware of which generally runs you about $200-300. under this, when we initially got the pricing, it was $45. there has been a correction by delta dental. that should have been $47.72. if you don't have that; it should be in there. it's 47.72, $92, $94. what happened was there was some confusion and they publiced a rate at 7.29 percent higher than the existing rates and when they went back and said since we have made the offer, we will honor the offer for 1 year, but we want everybody to know and this is a transparent board that the true number was 11.76 percent increase. so for everybody's clarit

the second category that we're the designing question is deficient it fails to protect against injury or loss of life in an earthquake. this language has been around before 2012 it's been part of the general plan but in this case, the language was repeated and expressly made available by the planning commission in 2006 when the original entitlement was granted we don't see a commitment to prepare the situation the greatest capacity to handle earthquake preparedness. we would rather see it minimizing property damage and maximizeizing the greatest possible preparedness for earthquake performance. the third category with the design it fails to insure that resident will be able to stay in their homes after an earthquake. f this was part of san francisco's caps program. there were two a t c contracts that were worked on for several years and this is an important element that doesn't exist in other jurisdictions. the structures mob reliant enough homeowners can return to their building. this requires the building to be able to sustain minor damage but remain operable. there's a point they n

there's also a category called one time. these are non-cyclical items, i'd note that for example we have a big project in here for repairing the under pier utilities. that's not a, it's not driven by annual renewals, and sometimes driven by code changes and such, so these items we are characterizing as one time and note that in some cases they are backloged and in some cases they are things that will incur in the future so we'd like to do a better job going forward of trying to parse those out and throw them into one bucket or another but for now they are kind of a big category called one time. again that seismic item is the conditional cost which may or may not be required and that depends on whether there is a change in use or a major rehab of a facility that would trigger building code requirements that we would then have to do seismic. because we don't know at this time if and when seismic will be triggered and sometimes we try to define projects in a way that does not trigger the seismic need, we try to add it into our

who wins in that category?guess based on this question, i would think that maybe disney had the best year. even with the lone ranger debacle i think that disney probably had the best year with their marvel connections. >>we checked on this and here's a listand the winner is dreamworks. up 83% since the last academy awards. >>well they had the croods last year which was a big success for them. coming later this summer they have how to train your dragon 2 which is gonna be a monster success. it's gonna make the lego movie look like a little film compared to that. so that's not too surprising. they don't release a lot of movies so that's a big number for them. >>that was the stock to own. and you can find more of erik's picks at rogerebert.com and of course the academy awards airs sunday night at 7 o'clock on abc. first business continues right after this. time now for some chart talk with matt cavanaugh of cmz trading. we have a lot to get to this morning. let's start with hilton. their earnings are coming up tod

the category reward recipients half are from technology. as you pointed out, scott, if you win at the regional level, which is here, you compete against 25 other regions across the united states at the national program in palm springs. ten category award winners are picked there and nick was also one of them. and pro lodge's leader as well. and if they win one of those ten category winners one is picked to be the u.s. representative who competes against the winners of almost 60 other countries where this competition is held in mondayco. >> the emcee is the national competition -- >> there's an opening here because he's retiring. >> he has absolutely retired from "the tonight show" but he still wants to continue to be part of our program. >> fair enough. >> i wish you the best of luck with your awards. and they truly are the oscars and so well done. >> we certainly appreciate it. get those nominations in by march 14th. >> thank you. we'll be back in just a minute. >>> that's our show for this week. thank you for making ugs part of your sunda

. >> also in the letter to mention the difference between the three categories to make that very clear when they fill this out. >> yes. are there other questions or comments? is there public comment at this time? excuse me, protocol demands that i should ask for a motion before i ask for public comment. >> that's true. >> please stand there because we'll get to that momentarily. do we have a motion to adopt a recommendation to retirees? >> i move we send the retiree survey. >> there is a motion and second. are there any questions by the board on the motion , if not, we now have public comment. >> thank you. i appreciate the information you gave me at the beginning of this process, warms my heart. i support the survey most assuredly and i'm glad that you are considering surveying all retirees because i they we might be able to bring people back in the system and that's what we really want to do is enhance that, but i think we do have to define the three categories so people know which categories their dentist is in and what we find among retirees and among actives as well, people don't

would that be category one, category two or category three? >> again, from -- without having delved into this to any great degree -- >> but you're the attorney general. i assume he consulted you. >> there have been consultations done with the justice department. from my perspective,, i think that would put us in category one. given the congressional involvement in the matter, the ability of the president to regulate things that involve the executive branch and how contract something done. seems to me that the president is probably at the height of his constitutional power in that regard. >> so you're saying there is a federal statute that authorizes him to issue the executive order regarding the minimum wage? >> i think that there's a constitutional basis for it and given what the president's responsibility is in running the executive branch, i think that there is an inherent power there for him to act in the way that he has. >> and with regard to the employer mandate? >> again, as i said, i've not had a chance to look at it for some time, exa

as we've introduced new product categories to the consumers, really embraced each of the categories.s really a competitive advantage that gives us an opportunity to roll out new categories of business. >> some people might say you're trying to be too much to too many people by trying to cater to all of those segments. you might cater to a person who might buy a lower-end handbag. on the other side, you're competing against burberry brackets. >> we have consistency in the product we put out to the market. that's what it's all about. we don't have different lines of product within the kate spade new york brand. we have one dedicated design and merchandising team that are focused on something that is consistent, that is part of our dna. and that helps us to avoid the pitfalls that some others can fall into, about having product that doesn't feel connected to one another. >> you are overseas. you have many overseas. you are pushing aggressively internationally. are there cultural barriers? economic barriers to the climate right now? >> we have a global strategy about trying to deliver a

mary's rectory), from category v (unrated) to category iii (contributory) under planning code, article 11; and making environmental findings, and findings of consistency with the general plan, and the eight priority policies of planning code, section 101.1. ~ california street. >> thank you. and we are joined today by mary brown from the planning department to speak to this proposed landmarking under article 11 of the planning code. >> if i can have the overhead. good afternoon, supervisors. mary brown, planning department staff to present the proposed changes designation of 66 0 california street, the old st. mary's church rectory building pursuant to article 11 of the planning code. the four story building was designed in an early modern contextual style [speaker not understood]. architectural firm skid more owings and merrill and construction was completed in 1966. the building meets article 11's criteria and grounds for a change of designation to a category 3 contributory building. the building's identified and clarifying features include all exterior elevations, the connecting bri

i think such as we want to we can't put everything in with only category. i don't want to see fillmore street bottom formula retailers there's few rag on bones the closet it is in brentwood it's an independent brand and that part of what we want to support in this country outside of our local merchant but in general supporting businesses that are small and independent nast as well a that's another challenge we have we're more fortunate in san francisco in other areas in the country they don't have the character of local retailer they don't have businesses that grew up to be big. if you look at businesses in san francisco where the gap they came from here we have this interesting character. so the fillmore merchant i'll do anything to support you i can't personally put rag on bone in the category as though their nordstrom because the shoe doesn't fit >> commissioner sugaya. >> yeah, i'm of the other shoe. it seems like we're more inclined to deny it but along fillmore we've not denied them because their apparel stores we get bowled over by uniqueness i think

as you said we play in a broad range of categories. if you look the our categories, add them all up, the last six months they were about up a point which is kind of what historical trends have been. if you look at the last three months they're flat. things have flattened out as retailers are discounting more to get traffic into the stores. >> reporter: executives here are downplaying the weather impact, and instead they see weak consumer spending, sluggish incomes, challenging from emerging markets. and they're focused on innovation, including coca-cola's new partnership with green mountain coffee to launch a brand-new category of do it yourself drinks. >> we don't know exactly how big it will be. we know that cold bempverages a four to five times the size of hot beverages. we think it's a substantial market. >> reporter: even hillshire farm behind jimmy dean sausages is looking for new product and new flavors. >> we have other businesses, or smaller businesses that have been more challenging. we have a corn dog business up called stat

>> well, we look at 10 different categories.we look at the background of the first ladies, their value to the country, how much value they had to their president, whether she's her own woman and, again and again we see eleanor roosevelt stand out. she truly was a trend setting first lady. she was not only f.d.r.'s partner and counselor, but she reshaped that institution. she told american women that they mattered and that they were important in political and social life, and clearly eleanor roosevelt not only campaigned for f.d.r. but she was instrumental in setting policy and the tone of the country during very difficult years. she's warmly remembered for her entire time as first lady and for the work she did subsequent to being a first lady as well. she really was a modern trend setter for that office. >> now, don levy, the current first lady, michelle obama is on that list. is that a surprise to have the current first lady on the list? >> it is a little bit surprising. it's the first time clearly she was included. the last ti

not true i can't is this the designed to risk 3 but there's aspects of the this that are meeting category 3 with respect to collapse. >> okay. thank you. >> do we have questions for anyone else. okay. thank you. mr. sanchez >> actually commissioner do i want to ask someone as part of the permit holder project sponsor. >> yes. i wonder in symptom on your side can answer my question. i was going to ask >> the principal engineer can probably answer that. >> so i'm don davis with the associates it will be my signature on the documents to go from risk category 2 to 3. >> what's the difference in costs if you do what the appellant wants. >> and i say this in all honesty, i did would be inappropriate for me to quoted you a number there's more material into the building. >> not so much a number but the you are about to give some other indication how much more they're asking for . >> think of it this way we'll be asked to remember the three different earthquakes the life safety at the life safety event we're adding a 1.5 calculator number. just to clarify one additional safety factor for the seism

coffee category and tea category.ries as well. and if you look at what the consumer told us, because when we go to homes that have a keurig machine today and we ask them what should we do next? what they tell us is can you make a machine that does a cold beverage. they wanted a coke, a diet coke, those kinds of brands at home. they want to be empowered to make them on their own. they want to have choice. they want it conveniently. they want to put a pod in, push a button and get a drink. >> how much of a competitive threat is sodastream? >> they've paved the way in the marketplace. they have a terrific product. so we see them as a strong competitor. >> clearly investors are excited about it. kayla mentioned your stock price since announcing the deal two weeks ago. you have some haters out there. david in horn who has aently as january 21st said he was still short green mountain. what do they get wrong about this company? >> you know, it's hard to say. i would just say this, detractors make us better. they make any com
