but that doesn't mean the climate is changing is it now irrefutable the climate is changing not just whether it's absolutely certain that climate is changing and one of the big affects of climate change that we see changes in weather that's how it manifests itself in a way that's readily apparent to us when we look at sandy the most important aspect scientists are focused on with that storm is the fact that sea levels are higher than they used to be so sandy rose in on a high tide that tide was even higher than it would have been otherwise because of climate change. and relative sea level around the east coast and in new york city it's a foot higher than it was two hundred years ago as the climate change and some of the land is actually sunk for reasons that don't have to do with climate change so if you break that down what it means is that more people are getting inundated by coastal floods so when scientists look at the relationship between extreme weather and climate change coastal flooding and heat waves are two really clear examples where there are absolutely links to climate c

so, beyond those general global changes there is not going to be a lot changing there. there is just one additional change and it is that the requirements for parcel level noticing where you need to notify everyone in the plan area and adjacent properties would be eliminated for those city planning processes that have large areas over five acres or greater. and this, again, is our current practice, but it would be codified. so, that's the big change for e-i-r. for neglect dick murphy decks, the position for appealing these would be unchanged except for three changes. first a negative declaration could not be appealed through the board unless it is first appealed here to this body. currently that is not the case. this change aims to have c-e-q-a issues addressed at the draft stage as is envisioned by the state c-e-q-a law. second, i described the mailing for these large city-run five acre and larger projects. that same would apply if they were covered by a negative declaration. there would be no need to do a mail notice to all those parties in the [speaker not understood

that what you delineated, personnel changes and changes that governor you and administrative changes and those make sense and would be helpful. >> great. >> comments or questions, and we will open up for public comment and who would like to comment on item three? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> let's move forward with the full authority with recommendation? that will be the order. >> item four. >> item four. internal accounting report for the trhee months ending september 30, 2012. this is an information item. >> respond. >> commissioners, what you have before you is the first quarterly fiscal year 2013, internal accounting report. this is your birds' eye view of what the financial position is of the authority eit has aamounted for $165 million and liabilities up to $223.5 million. and this includes $150 outstanding commercial paper. total revenues have added up to 19.8 million, and total expenditures are at 3.7 million. and in terms of total cash for the first quarter, we have approximately $104.6 million in cash. this is approximately 91 percent of it is approximately sit

i would say that in many ways these changes are positive that generally one of the change is greater tolerance of diversity in different people and i think that's a very positive trend especially the world is getting globalized and being able to get along with different kinds of people is a plus. well the growth of our muslim communities in non muslim countries has been a company by the growth of the gap between muslim men muslim cultures spotlight feeling the dimia there has more. and muslim missionary movement in london has plans for building at town thousand capacity magnet mosque in the capital the gigantic mosque four times the size of some false cathedral will not only have minarets but also an islamic library sports facilities and apartments while the city authorities are considering to submit a proposal to locals including the muslims themselves are opposing the construction fearing it will become a hard but obvious lawmaker extremist muslims themselves are opposing this mosque more in the grounds that they don't want to worship a god but on the grounds. women aren't allowed

based on research, we have made some changes. i will first briefly discuss the impetus behind this legislation and next summarize the existing bicycle parking requirements in the planning code and discuss the ordinance in detail. i want to acknowledge sfmta, who is here, if you have any questions. bicycle ridership has significantly increased in san francisco over the past few years. sfmta's annual count shows ridership has more than doubled since 2006. this report also estimated over 75,000 daily bike commutes in san francisco. with all of that ridership, the city has only 3,000 bike racks on the sidewalks. it requires better infrastructure, including bicycle parking. the san francisco bike plan was adopted in 2009, a collaboration between board of mta and the planning department. san francisco bike plan is an implementation arm for our general plan and this calls for plentiful and high-quality parking as one ever of its goals. first adopted in 1996 and at that time the requirements were only applied to city-owned and leased bui

those the changes to the timeline. the next activity, with the turn the calendar year, pg & e rates will change. that means when we talk about the premium that is represented over the pg & e rate will change. i want you to be aware that we will bring a revised estimate of the premium that a customer will pay in january. thank you. >> question. >> commissioner caen. >> is the pg & e going to be a mixed hybrid program? >> the pg & e tariff option, i assume that's what you are talking about. what they have proposed and put before the california puc for approval is alliance on their resources compliant with the renewal portfolio standard for about 22% i think by then. of their portfolio being california compliant renewables. and the balance will be renewable energy credits. so that distinguishes, it's a mix. in that some of the renewables they are proposing are california compliant and some of them are not. >> okay. i guess i will wait until january. >> well -- so i may have confused you with what i had said. in january wh

that is the only change. public comment. >>

change a booking. most of the other airlines will charge 150 bucks for that. now southwest says beginning next year, they haven't said how much they're going to charge, but they will charge a fee if you don't show up for a flight. this is new for southwest. meanwhile, also this week, we also had americanairlines unveiling a fairly radical new fee structure whereby coach passengers will have three different tiers to choose from. a basic bare bones no frills tier, where extras will be added on, and a new tier that will cost $68 more where you'll be able to dodge the $150 change fee if you had to change and check a free bag each way. that will receive you 25 bucks per leg. for an extra $88 on top of the normal coach ticket, you get the $150 fee waiver, baggage waiver plus get free booze on the flight. what does the traveler need to know about this? basically american collected about $1 billion last year in change and baggage fees. what they seem to be gambling on is that they're going to make more money b

yes, we can change the regs. we do change regs in ordinances and approve them out the same day. >> is the notice in the agenda sufficient to do so? i'm sorry, we want to change our regular enforcement regulations as well? >> i think we got our answer. >> decision points 5, 6 and 7. >> sorry, just a second. >> sure, take your time, please. i think the better practice would be to make the change at a later meeting. because it concerns super and complaints. okay, let's defer 5-7 unless the commission not properly noticed. the other issue that may be worth discussing is this idea that if under chapter 2, if we don't have a majority voting to find no violation, are we comfortable with two or fewer -- are we comfortable with the situation where we wouldn't have a major one way or the other? >> would you just remind us sort of for the record and the discussion how many commissioners it takes to hold a meeting in the first place? it's not that there could be one person or two people here. >> there have to be three. somet

we see changes on full faster than we would expect. somewhat ironically, it eventually, this comes full circle. it is too late to do anything about it anyways. so we might as well just adapt to it. one has to recognize that denial does take various forms. and there are various constituencies that we're spending too. this is not monolithic. >> there is a piece of work called "the sixth america." from alarm to concern, caution, disengage, helpful, and submissive -- how do you fine- tune your message? >> we are working exactly on that right now. socialooking of psychology, media and marketing. again, it is going off of science. how do we react to information? we all have different values and different things that motivate us. we have to recognize that, for one person, making it better for their child might be paramount. but for another person, national security might be very issue. there's also responsibility, loving your neighbor, creation maybe the next step. even though there is there one size facts fits all, it is not a one-size scien

each one teach one, each one reach one, we change policy, we change practices, we change values. there is a map, there is a way we can do it. we're already doing it, let's not lose sight of it, but we have to be more focused, more clear and more collaborative and not forget to really empower our children. they are our best hope for changing the world. >> hello, my name is chris bridges. i'm grappling with trying to address several things that i've heard during the course of this program. i'll try to keep it as brief as possible. it's more of a statement than a question. a lot of people have mentioned power, the power balance between people and the trauma that people can bring in from outside and the significance of being traumatized and traumatizing other people and it also talked about restoretive justice being a model. i know we're in a room filled with district attorneys and police officers, law enforcement. i'm curious what role law enforcement can play in restoretive justice, what can be imparted as groups of people who may or may not be connected with the trauma. once you a

there are three changes that i would like to recommend to your resolution. i have copies for the commission the first whereas clause is basically stating whereas now the ordinance has been introduced. because it wasn't introduced in referring to the board's file number. and then at the end, a resolve clause that has to do with effective date basically saying that the procedures manual and associated documents do not become effective until this associated ordinance becomes effective. so those are two of the non-substantive changes that i think should be added to the resolution. the other in responding to representative for a project which you had approved in october. they were concerned that some of the changes might apply to this project, which you had approved, but they haven't finalized their entitlements. this is a project that has some of the cdlac-funded units and they felt that going through the inclusionary housing might be burdensome for them. we don't think it's burdensome and we don't think it was intended to apply to projects that you already appr

anything you don't think it's changed the way the government might act. i think if they broke through some sort of firewall to get this information they probably built a new firewall that they can't break through quite as easily i don't think i it's changed anything i think the government is going to make it more of a secret you know as long as there's money power involved i don't think anything's going to change but information has since the printing of good will berg in the fourteenth century. the public is allowed to have information what about the government are they allowed to have information about us certainly yes so what about the people who protest that the government is using the internet to spy on us . well i want to spy on each other just look at today just to minutes ago syria just closing the internet so is that a government the i think of the government especially the what america is the world is ultimately going to be about it whether or not we feel like wiki leaks has changed the world the bottom line is governments might now feel like th

the safest dose and if they have machines that can calibrate to kids, and then we have to see these changes with the laws so if fda has proposals out for medical imaging around kids so you know how to downsize a radiation dose for kids who is smaller, their physical size is narrower, and also to make machines more accountable and more clear in how they work. >> [inaudible]. >> it's very low doses but that's an excellent question and i thought somebody would probably ask that. so, the united states preventative services task force in 2009 came out with a proposal to revise guidelines saying that perhaps women aged 40 to 50, there's no cost benefit really for that age group in terms of having mammogram of average risk, so recommended that women start mammography at age ao where the benefits really out weigh the risk, you don't have 40 years left in your life span at that point perhaps, you have 30, you're at a less vulnerable stage of life so there are a lot more benefits for life, your breast cancer risks are higher, so you know, the age 40 to 50, there's still a lot of debate about that and

climate change is happening.ely have to start transforming our economy to renewable energy. that's totally duible. we can run everything we have right now off existing technology from the wind and the sun and renewable energy. the second thing, it's an incredible economic benefit and economic engine to this area. there are community centers out on the rockaways that have power because greenpeace pulled up with a solar array on the back of a truck and that distributed generated energy helps people. >> eliot: it is unfortunately an event to drive home the reality of what you can do at a moment of distress when you need to find alternative energy sources. you've done that. i want to pivot a little bit. the occupy movement has morphed into something different. it's changed it's imagery and providing real services to real people. is that going to be a continueing transformation? is this a new cause for occupy. >> one would argue that they were a disaster organization when they were dealing with the wall street disaste

people who talk about climate change and want to see action on climate change really have to focus onre people live and what's happening to them. the folks at climate central now have an interactive tool that you can go on with your computer and look up your zip code and look at various scenarios of global warming might do to the tides of your area. how will you be flooded, how much. people have to feel connected to this information. it's been very outside for too long. >> you have a foundation, and this is the cause-- >> one of them. >> one of the causes of your life in many respects. you've been leaning into this for some time. is one of the challenges from your perspective just the dissemination of facts that seem to be manipulated by those that are still in denial? what is the challenge from your perspective from research and the perspective of promoting consciousness that ultimately changes behavior? >> i come at this, and we come at this at the foundation with a different perspective than most environmental groups because it really is the battle. what we're really looking at ove

from london whether conservative labor or liberal democrats should be lobbying for change because if the vast wealth held by the corporation of london were integrated to the rest of london it would be a very different city and in the poverty you see he would probably be eradicated with that money do you feel that the city of london corporation would be morally exonerated if they did more to help the poor buyers around them not really the because the corporation of london is kind of a true a stick it gives quite a bit of money to charities it has all sorts of charitable charitable foundations but this is putting band-aids putting plasters on whims it's not doing anything structurally to change the relationship between this state within a state government within london that no one knows about and the surrounding boroughs which are extraordinarily poor but how is it possible to democratize the corporation if the financial industry in the u.k. and the government are so closely connected when there's no political will it's impossible to impossible to make that change i mean there's all so

something on their private property versus the government agency changing something or some change being made to the public property, the comments that we all pay for with our tax dollars? because to me it is very important that the public has a right to weigh in and for there to be a lengthy and clear process of appealing actions that would change or affect the commons and the public property or actions by our government agency that are paid for with our tax dollars. private individuals and businesses and groups that own their own property, however, should not have to jump through all these hoops and should not have to have their projects delayed by one person being able to come forward and throw a monkey wrench into it because they live in the neighborhood or something. if the legislation were simply trying to alleviate that situation so that homeowners and small businesses and so forth could more easily make changes, i would support that and i think the libertarian party would support that. but it's not clear to me that's what it does. i would love to hear more clarification on that.

we need to change our attitude we need to change the way we were. so there are two scenarios the first scenario is we'll listen to the president and change our philosophy change the way we work in the ocean but there are always some people who ignore this and this is something. we should prevent from happening we have to be very careful and very professional in our work. with those who work in the government service their number one motives should be to serve people who lost their id this may sound cliche but i strongly believe that once we get a certain number of people with the right mode of story about it will achieve a breakthrough and this is what we really need to do because we have lots and lots of problems that frustrate the people who are problems with health care education transporting for structure you name it there are a lot of things we need to change in our daily life so let's not waste our time let's start the changes i want to talk about in other subjects i know it's important he. used to look like a deal in it with more school being

opinion changes. popular opinion changes all the time.was popular in the 18th century isn't popular in the 19th, 20th, 24th. if you build your life on popular opinion, you're on shifting sand. in fact, science changes. nothing is more worthless than a science textbook from the '50s. >> the word shouldn't change from the original constitution, surely. >> my words aren't based on the constitution. >> i get that, but what it is is about fairness and equality. i went to see "lincoln" the movie a few weeks ago. it was a riveting movie. daniel day-lewis was great as lincoln. it was all about how he fought in his last few months as president to get slavery abolished. there were millions of americans who thought slavery was acceptable who were outraged ought what he was doing. he knew instinctively it was just wrong, unfair, unequal. >> and why did he know that? because it's in the bible. >> but we -- >> it's in the bible. he was building it on biblical truth. the bible says that every man should be free. >> right, but you don't think every man s

people want to stop change. just normal, independently normal -- different people's perspectives, right, including the progressive movement. there are some ways that we need to proceed toward that goal, realizing we're not there yet, realizing this not happened yet. [inaudible] the civil rights movement. one of the things she found was at one point civil rights organizations that have a five person said then. the international forum. as things are happening all the time. but what they used to do to win. and so they start with these things that used to be victories . really important as we move forward. you don't let -- that we figure out a way to say, yes, we're winning unless. and the. [indiscernible] it is a victory living in the right direction so that we -- we have a lot of frustration. we need to figure out. >> cleaning this up a bit, political reform. there is a pattern, i don't want to exaggerate too much, but a little bit. the pattern is that after some political debacle or policy like in the 2000 electi

and american's lives have changed. social security was a very good idea and still is a good idea but we're living a lot longer now than when social security was originally started. so we're much more productive. for example, i see people every day who are working in their 70s and 80s, yet alone retiring at 65 years old. i think there when someone else for social security has to change as well. we have to update these it ine e entitlements based on where human beings are now. >> don, i want to talk about the underlying economy, really what's going on because we hear so much about housing having bottomed. so amidst all of this uncertainty that we're talking about in terms of the fiscal cliff you've got some strength happening in the underlying economy. the worry is that reverse it is we go over the cliff. talk to us about real estate and housing. you're so uniquely qualified to talk about this in so many different cities. >> you look at housing and it's the bright spot of the economy. i think it's going to help propel ou

has ever really paid for the climate change goals so it's been easy to make them but not actually trying to keep them now it's based on the us just the argument's sake what's a rough society the treaty what this will kill global economic growth and that would be another kind of dissolve what about into this what you have to be realistic about it even if the us and china join into a kyoto protocol it would only live a very marginally change the temperature rise only one hundred years out i heard you guys talk about the philippines they would have no impact on hurricanes the next fifty years it's not the solution to climate change what is is new technology if sole parents were cheaper than fossil fuels everyone would switch but as long as they're not we can't afford to subsidize them so this is about innovation this is about subsidizing innovation but. not subsidizing as most of the world is today the implementation of existing inefficient technology to make better solar panels and you fix the problem so you mentioned to say the things that then sit you think perhaps this is an overreactio

interesting because we think about low emissions cars as being really important for maybe climate change but they also might be important for breast cancer because when fuel is burning and you guys are familiar with chemicals that, you know, come bust, lower emissions vehicle, one that's more efficient may reduce these pah's in our air and especially in urban areas reduce exposures to those compounds which is really pornts, so thinking about hybrid or electric, we're all lucky enough to take public transit and reduce those overall exposures or -- yeah? >> i believe so, is that true? yes, my science advisors, that's why they're here. >> [inaudible]. >> yeah. there are a lot of carcinogens in diesel exhaust, yeah. >> [inaudible]. >> well, you're still seeing an oil that combusts, some of them we know burn more cleanly than others but if it's combusting, you end up with productions of combustion, it may not be better for pollution on the other side, depending on how clean the air burns and that's a theme we end up talking about a fair bit unfortunately is that bio doesn't always mean it's s

no one wants change in medicare.r but when you say we don't have to make substantive changes to a program that will consume all of our spending over the next decade or so. we have to make substantial changes. >> i'm part of the quality healthcare coalition. >> cenk: i want to say a couple of things. number one she's putting words in his mouth when. >> you mean when he's shaking his head trying to make a point. >> cenk: we have put the cuts on the table and here are different ways you can fix it. the idea that we have to cut medicare and social security to the bone is not the only idea out there. and i thought cnn was supposed to be objective. what is interesting when it's a pro establishment position, cnn is ready to go and defend the fortress. you have to cut medicare and entitlements. i find really interesting her dismissive tone towards constituents. >> the people that he represents. >> cenk: she said it won't be popular. we live in a democracy, why would we do that? >> the house of what? >> cenk: the house of rep

a life changing question which u.s. state officials refused to answer for her in a port artsy north carolina. how about with more news in the week in about twenty minutes from now in the meantime more to discuss the ups and downs of the egyptian revolution with the former presidential candidate turned opposition leader. that will be after a short break. it's. slowly lipos. her. mother. the speech. he gave. her. her. wish to. look. like a missile a good play her first scene look at it and. come out trying to make a little. fifth wealthy british scientist seinfeld's time to explain the. markets why not scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy in the kinds of reports. the. judge. nearly two years after the revolution that shocked the world and removed hosni mubarak from his long tenure at the head of egypt the egyptian revolution is going through some strange times perhaps some would say some dark times with us to discuss this is none other than. a presidential candidate himself and a former secretar

not cosmetic change not really a change of leader at the top carrying on with the same economic policies the same social policies etc they wanted a real radical change they're not getting that and so it's really at a crucial stage now where he's got to listen to the people egypt has occurred before that had a lot of temporary however they got down the years way governments have said that it was an attempt to base of these ended up last in a very really long time of the mubarak prince and so i think there is that sort of fear among egyptians that what they're getting is a new pharaoh as i said they want they wanted more democracy back in twenty eleven but they also want to fundamental economic changes which haven't come about because there are widespread concerns of the public about what morsi has done the last few days that's not what the people in the hundreds of thousands took to the streets for twenty electoral votes have a new dictator but the underlying cause i think are economic factors and the fact is people voted for morsi because they thought he'd bring changes it but the econom
