these are percent changes of flow on,x factors. 10, five, ten, twenty percent changes on flows. those are plausible in colorado. the,y axis is number of years in which we get plugs out of records. 78 years. there are two things to catch from this. one, is first of all, the vulnerability of the relative moderate increase of flow in the colorado. a ten percent increase in flow. changes the number of years with uncontrolled spills, floods, from six out of 78 in the data case to 16 out of 78 years some more than doubles the ten percent increase, more than doubles the years you have uncontrolled spills and different colors, blue is little spills and most are red the big ones. sorry the smaller one. you don't get really big spills undercurrent conditions. but when a 20 percent increase in flow your getting more inflows. the system is sincetive to climate. the second important point here is, this whole project. assessing the risk, assuming we operate the system the same way thomas we operating today, we were told when we proposed the project we could not change the operating rules that

subject to certain changes being made. i think that this is a matter that could be approved by the board without sending the whole project back and continue to move on with the project approvals. however, i caution you this is a change that needs to be agreed to by the city and the agency. so you can approve this but we don't have a done deal until and if the development agency agrees to it. president chiu: and this, it seems understandable why some of our colleagues would not want to see material changes that don't come back to the board. could you respond to this, please? >> yes. for the record, the office of economic and workforce development. i'm reading it as we speak. one observation is that it is unusual as a general manner when the board of supervisors approves redevelopment plans, it approves the broad sturkt of the plan and obviously any documents that come to the board of supervisors that are subsequently changed would require the approval of the board of supervisors. in this instance, that would include the red

there's economics, basic global problems, things that have not disperiod. >> climate change is a new justification for doing assessment but not necessarily an argument for doing certain large investments and building things and we have to be careful about building infrastructure for the wrong reasons. i won't say anymore about that. let me conclude. manager's and planners, city and state water manager's can no longer assume the water conditions and climate change will look like the past. that's how we designed the rules by which we operate. our water resources are sensitive to climate. but our systems are sensitive to the way we manage what we build. we have to think not just about the,hydrology, but also management. as chuck said, we spend billions of billions of dollars building a very sophisticated system in the west united states and it's complicated and let's test it. draw down the river 25 feet and see if our models are right. there's a lot of things we can do with models without physically doing it. there's compelling scientific evidence that posted challenges to our water sys

and change of the way we do flood changing and maybe i'm miss reading the flood change task force but would argue they ignore that and nothing they recommend took climate change into account. we no, fema, flood map's don't incorporate future risks and some say they don't adequately incorporate flood risks. the story we heard from david on often does but insurance companies are interested in this because they obviously have a financial stake in that and we may see some changes in insurance policies. after katrina, the new orleans levies were built to the exact same standards before. i didn't want to argue about the height but they certainly did not include climate change and one would argue they built them at an ineffective manner to begin with but they did not rebuild with climate change. brad said the colorado river and it's use of,hydrology, and it occurred to me, why are they not addressing climate change. why is the bureau not integrating it into the analysis of the system and i'll come back to an example of that in a moment. we have not yet done in california a systematic assessm

pro active in explaining its changes but they're out there they haven't done anything that would be. openly deceptive. i agree with that assessment so facebook could have communicated better what they were doing but they took those steps yesterday what you're going to see and i was at facebook headquarters yesterday what you're going to see over the next few weeks is there's going to be a message to the top for any of the facebook for every user saying like here is where you can change your privacy settings here's how it works here's information about how you can change it all in one click or change based on your preferred settings and so really in the end you do have a choice of going back to our panelists you have a choice your choice is really whether to join facebook or not join facebook and but that's but now you have the choice of privacy features as well but if you don't like facebook you don't have to join it it's a choice not a right or responsibility to be on facebook and you want to tell you i can tell you that the times i've talked to mark zuckerberg he wouldn't agree wit

legislation on climate change and its worldwide importance. before which have a look at russian attitudes towards global warming the globe is getting warmer and the issue is rising with the average temperature is not all the monks scientists but governments and corporations shaping policy to combat global warming in the u.s. president barack obama has introduced a climate bill as a cornerstone of his administration's environmental policy however in russia entity divided told to global warming according to a public opinion survey only forty two percent anxious about climate changes forty percent expressed indifference on global warming while fifteen percent do not believe in global warming at all and one percent of respondents said they welcomed rising temperatures. ok you know i'd like to go to you know. is the united states setting a good example now in dealing with climate change the senate bill that's going to be debated. historically the united states has been seen as being behind the curve when it comes to dealing with the climate is he g

i am not prepared at this time without further studying some of the propose d changes to anythig i am looking at before me. what i would like to status, though, is article 10 and 11. there was a couple of years ago a piece of legislation introduced at the board and i don't know where we are with that at all and evidence several discussions with different members of all communities really, affordable housing, communities of color and even preservation community to try to see is there a way that we can get -- it seems that we're down to maybe a few people that are never going to agree on some pieces and it looks like the vast or many of the people i spoke with at least seem to have this with almost 95% and the 5% is the stickler. there was a third version that a lot of members seem to have concerns about. >> thank you, commissioner. tara sullivan. the legislation introduced at the end of 2008, we turned that around and both commissions turned that around and turned it back in as april of 2009. it has been sitting at land use since then. aaron was at the h.p.c. and has contacted the dire

so increases in temperature, no changes in precipitation or the way we get precipitations and no change in the precipitation. decreases in snow back of 50 percent and decrease to inflow and decreases in yield. that all assumes a static systems and our operators don't change dealing with flood pockets or rule curves so that's impact of operating the system like we have historically and that's impact on our system. the issue is from today on we can't operate the system the way we used to so we have to start changing and coming one new models on how to do it. >> this i have found this a phenomenal chart. if you start that upper left and go down line by line on this chart, it shows you the official demand forecast for the seattle city water supply system. we have never - at least to date - underforecasted the demand. we always over forecast. i think if you have not looked at your official forecast it gives you a reality historically and what the demands really look like. i think also, if you have not look and i'm assuming most have, this is what our water consumption looks like verses our p

if those things need to be changed based on your motion of what it is that we want to change, then we would advise at that point, your next step is to send it all back. it's not that you can't do it but you would have to send it back. there are some changes that you want to make that are consistent with the project that has been brought before you and those changes by incorporating sort of requirements of what authority has generally included in the project or creating enforcement recommendations that you can change but then they have to be approved by the other parties for those contracts. supervisor campos: i have no problem understanding that. the problem i have is the advice you just presented is different from the advice that has been presented before and that's what i'm struggling with. let's take an example. if you can please use this example as the way about finding the reasoning, you have an amendment you have along this bridge which has been talked about repeatedly throughout the process. in this amendment, there is a substantive change that points to a scaled down version o

due to climate change we have to anticipate. speaking on your comment about a template, the county council has asked us to develop an annual climate plan the first of which is news today and it maybe delayed by a week or two is what i've heard. what we've done, is put together an intraservice group to identify impact to all the different activities we engage in that range across planning, permitting, regulatory, as well as something like requiring access like purchasing hybrid buses and transportations systems. i think this is an annual report and we're going to be imposing performance measures on ourselves and reporting how much progress we're making, and it will, i think result in dialogue because we'll have to talk to state agencies on the issues chuck talked about, where we're not getting the support or freedom to do what we need to do, but it will also generate discussions in the county and staff that probably at this point, don't see what the impacts are of climate change. for the moment, this is going to go on indefinitel

when we look at snow pact changes one of the questions was the different changes. what we typically do is say we expect at least a 25 percent reduction by 2050 some we expect a 50 point acre foot. we will lose 25 percent. some other projections have it losing 40 percent by 2050 which is not far away and there are projections worst than that. typically we have shown the nature of the reduced amount of run off that occurs as a result of run off. we're looking at this differently from a flood perspective, next slide. this may not be obvious but this is the peak day flows so it the highest you experience in the river system in this case the american river in a given year. here's when,folsome damage was built. these are the flows when they did not have the operations for flood management that's how you would study the reservoir. now look since it was built. six of the highe flows recorded have happened since the damage was built. has the corporation changed the criteria, no. we have been aware of this from some time. this is feather river and,orville, was constructed he

and change of the way we do flood changing and maybe i'm miss reading the flood change task force but would argue they ignore that and nothing they recommend took climate change into account. we no, fema, flood map's don't incorporate future risks and some say they don't adequately incorporate flood risks. the story we heard from david on often does but insurance companies are interested in this because they obviously have a financial stake in that and we may see some changes in insurance policies. after katrina, the new orleans levies were built to the exact same standards before. i didn't w

quite frankly, it is very hard to find these changes. we received when we would call the planning department, they would say we can't print it out and didn't mention that the changes are only in section h at the very end, pages 449-451 of the entire document which would have been helpful. and of course, many people are out of town on vacations and certainly i was one of the emailers on the access to issue. and i have another question on this and that is in letter f. and crossed out is the name and telephone number of the project sponsor and the planning department assigned to review the application. i don't know if this is kept elsewhere, but i know from my own experience in dealing with neighborhood peel that the first thing they do when they get the 311 notices which they don't understand terribly well is to call the planner who is assigned to the project and this notification is extremely important and i certainly think it should not be removed from this notification and that perhaps this whole 311 thing could be at least continued fo

our brain is plastic, it's constructed to change and the accumulation of those changes really define who we are, what we are, what we can do, what we can't do. de charms: we do know that the brain is an organ that is designed to change. the brain is an organ that is designed for plasticity. so we hope that using its own capability it may be possible to change it in quite dramatic ways. dr. frackowiak: everything that we do, everything that we learn, every experience that we have changes the way our brain works. coyote: in order to better understand the function of plasticity within the brain, neuroscientists utilize the latest tools in brain imaging. techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fmri, have opened up entirely new understandings of the physiological transformations of the brain scientists at the wellcome trust centre for neuroimaging undertook an unusual study to better grasp the function of a part of the brain called the hippocampus. frackowiak: the hippocampus seems to be very central to memories in general the reason for that is its connections for th

now, the picture on climate change is all too familiar. this is a graph of projected global warming and temperature rise and its effects northwest europe and particularly the uk. it's a very similar picture to the one you have here. it predicts however you account for the uncertainty, a very significant rise in temperature over the next 50 to 100 years. as a result of that average temperature rise of at least 3 degrees centigrade is that we are going to see warmer, weter winters, drier, hotter summers, a sea level rise in excess of 800 millimeters, probably 850 millimeters, in the southeast of england. but hidden underneath that are perhaps more important messages. that temperature rise will lead to much stormier weather so when we get rainfall we're likely to see particularly and interestingly in the summer months much more intense rainfall in the future than we see today and on top of any sea level rise, as will mentioned, increase in storm surges which will exacerbate the sea level rise even more. what we're looking at is what does that

published a report titled, changing climate, assessing the risk to california. the report looked at 3 scenarios for cutting the amounts of emission that we pump into the atmosphere and depending on whether and how much green house gas emissions can be brought under control, the report projects by the end of the century average temperatures in california will rise between 3 and 10 1/2 degrees centigrade. one of the most publicized impacts of global warming is a predicted increase in sea level. and here's a graph showing sea level rise in san francisco bay. now, i want to note one very important fact about this graph. it does not show predicted sea level rise. it shows how much the level of the bay has risen over the past century. since 1900, the bay waters have risen 7 inches. and we at bcdc have been monitoring this increase for decades and we have been especially concerned because ground elevation, particularly in the south bay, is sinking because of ground water extraction. so even if there's no sea level rise, we expect more flooding as the low-lying areas co

based on national outside research it basically said how much does consumption change when you change the price? the price was made, -- the point was made, and it is a fair point, but that price sensitivity could be significantly higher because of the availability of places that were recently acceptable in the suburbs where even by of all of beverages. you would expect a bigger reduction in consumption outside, rather than say the national level, where it might be difficult to about side of the united states. we tested the sensitivity of the results for the elasticity of demand. we said that if we tripled the assumptions, what does that do? what it does is dramatically reduce spending and revenue generated at liquor stores and grocery stores, significantly reducing the amount of consumption in those places, tilting the economic balance from neutral to slightly negative. i think that that assumption of it being triple before is very extreme. this somewhere in between. what that means uneconomic basis is that there is a decline in spending that we project establishments that sell alcoho

let me say we've not a climate change just like yours in our backyard. the time spent yesterday, at least for me, was very well spent and leads up to the business of today. yesterday we talked about the state of knowledge. some of it was wonderfully obvious. and water goes down hill and collection areas and some of it was breathtakingly vague trying make a billion dollar decision about something. we talked about simple solutions and bold actions and diverse drinking water systems in san diego and we heard about thinking about discipline, winning over regulators and economic development agencies and environmental groups as getting them to work with us. today, we have the opportunity to make it much more useful because it's amply, clear climate change is happen together all of us right now, as water system manager's and we can work together and act together, we can probably be more effective, more quickly. so that's what we're going to try to do today and here's how we're going to do it. we're going to use those five topics up on the screen to frame the si

i find it difficult to adjust to change there's a massive change taking place in our industry a lot of it's exciting and a lot of it is really challenging and some of our unions are finding it difficult to adjust to the process of change i think in russia you've got a very vibrant media community there are lots of things happening in the a lot of challenges there's a free press in russia people who say there is no free press in russia are living in a different world of course is a free press it's not as effective as it can be many journalists are suffering in conditions which are deplorable there's too much poverty there's too much corruption in some of the regions and so on there are many difficulties but the fact of the matter is real efforts being made to change the situation and i think the russian union has consistently over the years been in the forefront of pushing the authorities and pushing the media industry itself to be bringing about change in the story. what's your back to something you said earlier in this in this interview you mentioned engineer journalism when they were

most things have changed, and that is one of the things that has changed. as we went about doing to develop a plan, we looked at that and said there will be no limited demand and housing. i don't care where people live -- it could be in the middle of an industrial park. zero eminent domain of housing. so we were very sensitive to that. redevelopment is a great tool and it is a tool that has been used all over the state. we just finished bloomingdale's. that was a redevelopment area. it could happen, and if you strike, it could really make a difference. we are trying to make sure that we are using it right. >> we are not anti-development. we are anti getting pushed out and killing our kids. >> a cheap way to provide opportunities for people is affordable housing. and this is affordable housing that will very from rental housing for families, rental housing for seniors, housing for people with disabilities, housing for the chronically homeless, holders of housing. >> we love redevelop it, but we are going to have to do some development ourselves. that is what
