they are huge changes.cientists use the data to predict where the glaziers will be five years from now. how much more ice will we lose in five years. >> in recent years scientists have been concerned about acceleration and thinning of the glaziers, known as outlet glaziers. >> i'm going to post the mission plan, the map that shows where we are going. >> minutes before takeoff, senior scientist announces where exactly the plane is headed. we have been doing this mission for five years now. this is the south-east glacier. they have been interesting in recent years. it was dramatic in the early 2000s. and they started thinning at the same time. that was a surprise. that's the reason we are here to monitor that continued progress, and why it's happening. it's sort of infamous in circles. a lot of people philadelphia flyers this in turbulence. we have learnt to avoid that. that is what we are doing. >> in despite of his assurances, i was nervous. every job has occupational hazards. minutes after take off, the te

change? >> i think if we look at this from a retail perspective, people are buying differently now. in general, the spring iser starting earlier, and therefore merchandise has to be rolled out earlier. of course it has a direct impact on our wallet as it relates to energy costs. this year was a little bit unusual in the u.s. because it was so cold, it was costing more to heat our homes, but in general, it costs more to heat our homes, and it's going to be more and more. >> you talk about retail. and what other industries would be affected? >> well, of course insurance. the insurance industry is probably in the forefront of adapting to climate change. studying effects and looking at ways to make homes more resilient. and spending a lot of time and money on developing new ways to build homes so they are more resilient and can stand up to the increased storms, and looking at how they calculate risk. and looking to see if the risks of hail storms and tornadoes is staying the same. and in general,

climate change is here today.e are already seeing impacts, and if we don't slow the carbon pollution responsible, the impacts will get more ceph severe. >> that's the big news. there is no place in the united states that's safe from it. >> we mentioned the extreme temperature changes, some of the national disasters. are there some other impacts that have arrived, maybe earlier than scientists expected? >> well, the extreme weather we have seen in the last three years is linked to climate change. we did an analysis and found that in the last three years, there were nearly three dozen extreme weather events that each caused a billion dollars worth of damages and together, they caused over 1200 fatalities and over $200,000,000,000 in total damages. >> that's just in the last three years. in 2012, it was the hottest year the united states has ever states. >> well, whether it's time for a nice cool dress? pauline, you are not just a fashion designer but somebody who is creating wearable tech, dresses that are solar pow

georgia is changing, and it's changing quickly. long-term republicans feel like the legislature went too far, the governor went too far, and the republican nominee also voted for that bill. i think people see the legislature going that direction, and they're very uncomfortable. i think it's a good place for democrats to be. the republican party up against the tea party and we're seeing the establishment candidates actually seem like they're going to end up being victorious and might run off against each other, but really they're leaving the conservative candidates to the curb. with the tea party movement, it really was unsustainable. you think about it lasting longer term. one of two things would have happened, right? they would have taken over the republican party, and then the free party system would have emerged or they would die off, and it seems like that is what we're beginning to see. >> well, i'm not going to put dirt on the grave of the tea party movement just yet. you know, it actually came within just a few thousand vote

we would like to see the following policy change for pdr change in sylma and required replacement of pdr space to equal.75 on any lot where the existing pdr use is demolished -- this is essentially the first floor and to see this even in historic buildings, so the office value of the rest of the building can certainly support that economically in this booming neighborhood. so we respectfully request that the commission deny the conversion the 660 per 3rd street. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon, commissioners and happy international workers day. it's very opportune this matter is coming before you on international workers day, really born of rights of organized labor. i am here to actually speak in opposition economic development agency and our goal to build asset development and wealth for low to moderate income families in san francisco and this is one of the sectors that offers a living wage and allows access to jobs for people that don't necessarily have full number language proficiency or a college degree. so changing 80,000 square feet of manufacturing f

if question is not to forestall change or say something can't happen, but to manage that change so that the significance is retained. we talked about some examples of the difference between residential and industrial, commercial properties like this or mixed use will also have a very different connection to significance. commercial properties change much more than residential properties. store fronts change every few years, whereas residential properties may not change for more than a generation or more. and some of those changes obtain significance in their own right. i'd go back to that concept as well. i think when people were talking about the mission, for example, they were talking about colorful alterations as opposed to the original architecture. this really sort of comes to the end of my presentation, so i'd like for whatever time the commission and public had left, really come back to some of these questions and try to facilitate some discussion ordeal with examples if you want to. >> what i'd like to do is talk about what the future holds and scheduling and have the public mad

it's always a funny one about buildings that change in time. i'm working on the bank here that will never be a bank again, but we spent a year-and-a-half talking about the [inaudible] and the reverse blt is that we have to save every piece of it on site in case we have to put it back together again. can you talk about that. . >> that example is a good one. what were the defined characteristics. in some of these cases there's a number of examples of the giant glass high-rise building in some type of historic shell, you can find them in almost every city and some haven't been approved by landmarks commissions or secretary of interior, it's just something that a developer decided to do and in those cases they're really not reversible in any way. in some cases it could be that just the facade and architectural features on the outside of the building were what was considered significant. i could see a case significance is conveyed by the facade and not the interior. that's becoming less true. washington dc is famous for examples of facadism like tha

that if we were going to make any changes like splitting up the reserve, we'd also change the first and foremost of those changes regarding the lay offs. for that matter, allowing the majority to change the conditions. those actually came from the controller as well through sort of a brainstorming discussion and, you know, i think those are -- those would be very favorable to the district so i was happy to agree with those suggestions on his part. i think those are the two ideas that he proposed, which made a lot of sense to me. as far as the [inaudible]. >> right, it's really a reflection of the current charter language, which separates the amount that can be appropriated to the district to 25 percent of the balance of the reserve. >> i just wonder if that -- president fewer maybe was joking, but maybe not. i mean, maybe -- >> now i'm thinking that could we present something like that, that instead of 75/25, that it's 60/40? [laughter] >> and president fewer, are you referring to the distribution of the original split of the current balance? that might be something we could discuss. i

science will change. adaptation options will change. risk preferences will change. you keep track of that and recognize that at some point in time you're going to make an adjustment, a midcourse adjustment with respect to how you're handling this particular problem. is there a macroeconomic analogy for someone who does that on a macro- scale? they make decisions on the money supply, periodically on the basis of what they observe. >> given how hard it is to make any policy response to any of these reports, the idea that over time we would constantly be a hard sale. we'll have more when we come back after this break. this is inside story. rebuilding the dream on real money with ali velshi on al jazeera america >> we want to emphasize to the public this is not some distant problem of the future. this is a problem affects americans right now. whether it means increased flooding, greater vulnerability to drought. more severe wildfires. >> welcome back to inside story, i'm ray suarez. that was president obama talking about the new national climate assessment. on this edit

you don't want to make the change. i'm here with lewis former city attorney and proponent of prop b 82 >> thank you. >> and joined by on opponent of the measure thank you. i'd like to start with opening comments that from each of you ms. renee your opening statement. thank you to the league. i think we all agree the san francisco waterfront is a truly special place. and if you do we're asking the voters to, yes on b and, yes open b is support by is sierra club 78s be neighborhood alliance and affordable housing alliance and others citizens. prop b is simple and scared u straightforward it says waterfront height limits should be enforced and when the planner of the ports want to exceed those limits they should put the question to the voters. the yes on b campaign is really part of the out growth full only 8 washington we'll have a high-rise twice the size of the old embarcadero freeway and fortunately over 67 of the voters said no, we don't want a wall on of

because as warfare has changed, the injuries have changed. home with long-term injuries and brain injuries and the va seems like it's stuck in a time warp or something. >> i tell you, mika, why this is so heart breaking right now is all these scandals and these things are taking place while we still have men and women overseas fighting. what happens 10 or 15 years from now when these men and women are only 40 years old? if we have all these problems now, what happens when the wars are not front mind of the american population? >> the va i was talking about was in 2000, 2001 before we had a decade of war. this is going to get tougher. we always have a guy at the helm who doesn't know what he's doing. >> everyone understands hospitals make mistakes and bureaucracy makes mistakes. the degree to -- this is taken to a new level now because of the apparently systemwide falsification of records. purposeful misleading. isn't that right? i think if you get to that -- look, you can preside over a not confident bureaucracy, but it's been broken for quit

in terms of change that are in the special use district we changed there were 3 key changes that are significant to point out first, the zone is its f one and two it's a zone to be xvent with the site primarily housing and mixed use we're changing the zoning to mixed use and a formula for retail both look at the feasibility as well as the community desires they wanted to make sure that the good formula was attractive and help leeland as well as the new development so they didn't want to have anything that would discourage a tenant from lomg in the city so instead of having a

the possible changes. one is that there would be two separate reserves created so right now instead of having the one plot of funds in the rainy day reserve, that there would be a split of the one reserve into two reserves. one would be for the district and one would be for the city and the city would receive 75 percent of the current balance and the district would receive 25 percent. and then if the say -- if and when the city in any year where they would make an additional deposit to the reserve then the same per centages would apply. in other words, we would use the funds to avoid lay offs rather than rescinding lay offs and that's proving to be a very process. the second change is who decides whether a draw should be taken. this change would allow the board of education without needing approval to decide -- to take a draw under certain conditions. the third change is that -- all of this is subject for the board to weigh in on and none of it is set in stone. it's just proposals we're bringing to you. th

if i can go through the changes from the larger scope changes to the smaller ones. i will start in the lower right hand corner. we have modified the garage entry from what was previously approved in the december 7, 2011, hearing. we feel it's a better configuration for the garage. it's actually subterranean garage in the basement. it's a smaller garage door. the opening is 11 feet. the garage door is about 10 feet wide previously 16-foot garage door was approved in the level above that in the basement level. if you look at the top right hand corner, we made a series of changes to the 1940 addition of the building. if you see that corner that is a small in fill of the notch between the original 1895 structure and the 1980 addition. the decks were reconfigured slightly. the deck was raised 18 inches from the previous reconfiguration, to support the load of the new deck. if we head towards the front of the house, the entry porch we are proposing to repair the existing steps and landing. there is a decorative tile on the landing as noted. if you go to the corner, lower

is ~ the treatment is to change condition, change sleep and exercise. i want to briefly go through the -- this slide here. in this slide here, this is part of changing -- this is part of changing the environment. this is what we're up against. this is an example of two billboards. in the top is a bill board saying childhood obesity, don't take it lightly. they're communicating to the parents in the neighborhood to take obesity seriously and right below that bill board we see mcdonald's saying, my kind of shopping with a very happy person who looks normal weight. so, this is a challenge that, that ethnic and low-income communities face, is that the industry reaches out to them and tries to get them to buy their unhealthy foods. so, what i'm going to do now is i'm going to turn it over to dr. jody stoky from internal child health san francisco public health and she's going to give an overview of oral health. >> great, thank you. dr. stoky. >> hello. is there a way to pull up my presentation? >> do you have overhead presentation? >> presentation. >> sfgov-

always changing. >> you do not think human activity caused warming to our planet? >> i do not believe human activity is causing these dramatic changes to the climate the way the scientists are portraying it. i do not believe the laws they propose to pass will do anything about it, except to destroy the economy. >> i know you are intelligent viewers. so i'm not lost, did he say he doesn't believe the scientists? did i hear him say that our climate has always changed? um, did he say that, ah, there isn't anything we can do about it? now, if that's what i heard, that is a stupid position for a united states senator to take on the heels of this most recent report that's come out. very comprehensive, the most recent climate assessment for this country. scientists agree, climate change is real. it is manmade. on tuesday, rubio, the national press club attempted to walk back his comments on climate change at the press club. let's do it. >> headlines not with standing, of course the climate is changing becaus

i'm emily chang. adam silver has banned l.a.ner donald sterling from the league for life. >> effective immediately, i am banning mr. sterling for life from any association with the clippers organization or the nba. >> the ban follows a phone call captured on tape between sterling and his girlfriend where he makes racist comments. sterling confirmed it was his voice of a tape. listen to what he said. >> if you want to broadcast you are associating with black people. >> you associate with black people. >> i am not you and you are not me. you are supposed to be a delicate latina girl. >> cory johnson and i spoke with former golden state warriors president. what does he think of the response as well as the nba? >> i give them a gold medal. adam coalesced a number of different forces to craft a response to this stupidity that is going to take the league in a more positive direction. that is not easily done in a short period of time. >> how do you see him forcing the sale of the team playing out? >> we would like to see a phone call t

we also know that change happens we try to resist change and not always successful and change has police cruiser and minutes. the sign of a really healthy community is a couth that understands change happens and we also in addition to embracing that change need to embrace who we are as a community and not let that be taken away. when our able to balance both the change happens but the community is here that made the community whether the castro or the bayview or chinatown made that great when we achieve the balance we get the success it's achievable this is a great step forward. so supervisor campos i think this is an amendment you want to offer >> yes. you should have a copy of an amended version of the resolution bay - by the way, thank you, my staff on page one to include quote from san francisco scope an institution in the mission alejondra and an amendment on page 5 that just adds the some clarification about the theatre and it adds the name of a person hernandez and also an amendment on page 8 that actually includes the name even if eric the late ethics the a long time activist in

and the environment of the retail will change. the number one goal in my thought we need to keep san francisco vibrant and our streets active and the vacancy low that means choice and balance of choice means formula retail and sometimes small businesses i come from a small business background and opened more businesses than i can list understand the landlord tenant relationship and the competition and understand that, you know, running a small operation didn't mean you have small departments to combat. it's around formula retail the underlying thing is to protect the neighborhood commercial districts i think we're taking steps forward there were opposition and positive remark but we're better off right now with this particular policy so i think those are pretty much the comments and support of it moving forward obviously there's room for more tweaks but in general you're going this formula to think that citywide there are great streets in the neighborhood of san francisco that are unique and i wouldn't want to necessarily use blan

it can be changed. and i think that that sort of where the problem lies that we have a lot more transient residents in many districts now. but i say, if you are in dog patch and you want something different, i say get involved with your group and go to your supervisor and make the change. it can be done. >> commissioner dwight's comments of neighborhoods changing, i'm in upper market with huge changes with all of this new building and more new buildings coming and the thing that worries me the most, that we do have a lot of ground-floor retail coming on the market. and with the neighborhood groups, sometimes people want something and we don't get it. 95% of the people wanted a traders joe and told no. 95% of the people wanted a chipoltes and we were told no. so what worries me with certain controls being tested, there i'm just afraid of what you said to see a lot of vacancis and developers -- and sometimes a formula retail can subsidize that. my neighborhood is definitely changing with 3,000 new people

so what's changing? again there's a lot of items before you and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask but there's 2 basic changes in setting rates so math and structure so the math part of it -- we're proposing rates for the next 4 years in terms of of the math that averages for a single family residential customers using 6 units of water average annual increase between 7.8 and 9.8 percent the structural changes, the bullets below i'll describe and the project has been underway for the past year and started a year ago and it's progressed to today with this rates proposal we've had our budget workshop held with this commission back in november to gain some input from you folks on what you would like to see in the rates package we've had 10 meetings and over ninety presentations to rate pay er groups and in terms of next steps important for the public to understand will present today action scheduled for may 13th the package has been delivered to the board of supervisors who have a right t

climate change is a uniform. it is having different impacts in different parts of the country and that's why it's so important that this database on advancing science over the past five years since the last one came out has been able to disaggregate these ongoing and expected impacts regionally. when the president launched his climate action plan he made clear that the information in this new climate assessment would be used and it will be used to inform the efforts of the federal, state and local levels to increase preparedness for and resilient against the impacts of changes in climate that can no longer be avoided. i think it's important to say this report is not just a bad news story about all the impacts that are happening. it's a good news story by the many opportunities to take cost effective actions to reduce the damages. i want to acknowledge a number of folks, including the stakeholders in this room who have gathered to hear about this and who will be crucial actors going out and promoting, propagating

i heard it changed the law in maryland this week. >> it's certainly going to change how local governments open their meetings. the supreme court says you can open a government meeting with a prayer. it was 9-0 on that. after all, it was the founding fathers who wrote the religious freedom. but the issue here in the town of greece, a suburb of rochester, new york, was that the prayer at the beginning of their meetings was almost always christian and on that the court divided 5-4. the majority said that's fine. the government can't be in the business of sense org religious speech or requiring the governments water it down so it isn't offensive to anyone. as kennedy said, as long as the prayer doesn't deny gate other faiths or non-believers, threaten damnation or preach con investigation, it's acceptable. and gwen: i sat through a couple of prayers like that. >> i'm sure you have. but the interesting thing is what it may mean beyond prayer. it gives us maybe some insights into how the court will view this on the larger issue of religious freedom. gwen: but here's the thing. if people get use

chang's house. >> so on mr. chang's side is the 8 flood avenue there are windows in the light well. >> there are no windows here. >> so why would you no such it. >> it was a gesture to mr. chang's house. >> on the other side is the appellants property. >> correct. and where are the windows impacted here >> let me see if i can have a photograph the white trim those are the windows. >> okay. >> all right. and when you take a look at the site plan there's a space between the building here's that feet and the building is not at 90 degrees to the property line it gets bigger as it moves out to the street this is the set back at ms. occurringries house. >> so whatever the yard are they impacted at all by the structure. i see the deck >> this is a deck correct. >> so is the structure of the proposed project going to impact the light on the deck. >> i'll show you a drawing that's a good question. as you see here in the east elevation of our building this is the online in ms. occurringries building the heavy doted line t

you are changing the future church. >> changing the direction.s and that what john said when he called the council? you mentioned earlier and you were on target. there is a continuity between john and francis. that continuity includes all those popes in between that have refined the message. >> will be hardest for francis to do? lexapro -- probably the big challenge is keeping the momentum going and keeping everybody together and on board. what he is trying to do is what xxiii call the updating of the church and francis seems to have taken that to heart. we have to find a way of getting the message out. he said something i find really beautiful. the message is not that complicated. ust is what he is saying to create >> who is opposed him in the church? >> i do not know if there is opposition to him. any time you begin to refocus, that means there are some things out of focus. the goal is to help all of us refocus on the needs of the poor so there can be universal peace. when you start doing that you challenge everybody to refocus their lands a bi

what changes here?the biggest change is the nsa could no longer collect that information about your phone calls. who you called and when you placed the call. instead, that would be held by the phone companies and they turn it over to the government only after the government went for the fisa court, the foreign intelligence surveillance court. now there is a work around, if it is considered an emergency, the government could get access to it right away. another change is it limits the number of degrees of separation that the government can go to when they are looking at someone that they suspect of terrorism. how many steps away from that person can they look t a and investigate. >> i see. despite pushing for changes some privacy, and companies are now pulling their support the the bill, saying it doesn't go far enough. what are their concerns? >> that's right. we are hearing from groups and people who just a couple of months ago were hugely pushing for this. it's been changed in the past week or so. and

and that is a culture change that mary barra has to change and she has to demonstrate that she is changingt. >> let me go back to the maximum fine. you say it's a maximum crime, and the question that it really hurts general motors. at the same time, isn't it ironic that the government was trying to save general motors, in the sound bite we just heard a couple of minutes ago, trying to save general motors, now charging them with a $35 million fine. a bit ironic? >> it is a bit ironic and i can totally understand the sentiment of the public in thinking these two things don't go together. the government saving this big company and now it comes to light that they really had a damaged culture. what i would say is that general motors is a big company. it is the biggest auto maker that we have. it's a huge employer. it spent decades building up businesses communities livelihoods. i know it's an easy thing to tie these two things together. i wouldn't do that. i think that the company was worth saving. and preserving. what we have here is that there were individuals at general motors who got on the

. >> whether or not they will change their name. harry reid on the senate floor last week spoke to the redskins franchise and said what tradition of tradition of racism. okay. so is dan snyder any closer to changing this? i will remind everybody, this is the 30 most valuable nfl franchise. and the eighth most valuable franchise in the world, the washington redskins. >> on the contrary, i think dan snyder is farther from changing the name of this team. and he has the support of roger goodell, the commissioner. dan snyder came out and said he was creating this foundation and going to give this money to native-american groups. he said our fans overwhelmingly support the team. he cited polls, one of them was ten years old. he found a poll, yes. but he's not going to change the name, as long as dan snyder is owner of the washington redskins, they will be the washington redskins. and as long as he has the

i think there were other than the changes that i mentioned there i don't recall any significant changes. you've noticed we talked about the letters listed in the budget so if we are anticipating bringing in more housing fees in the next year that's where credit is anticipates 40 millions in the reserves that are available in the following year we

has civil engagement with the government changed? have our politics changed? are things radically different in terms of partisanship? there have been radical changes within our government.

climate change.ing -- i think the white house thinks it can activate those voters. the donor base of the democratic party cares a lot about this issue. >> yeah. it's a big issue for them. they want more from president obama on this. ryan, thanks so much. >> yeah. >> really appreciate it. >> thanks, brianna. >>> monica lewinsky speaking out nearly 20 years after the scandal that rocked the oval office. what she's saying now. when it comes to good nutrition...i'm no expert. that would be my daughter -- hi dad. she's a dietitian. and back when i wasn't eating right, she got me drinking boost. it's got a great taste, and it helps give me the nutrition i was missing. helping me stay more like me.

is changing, because the climate is always changing. and that's immeasurable, you can see. there is climate change, the issue is not whether the climate is changing, as it always is changing, the issue is whether there are legislative proposals before us that can do anything about it. the truth of the matter is that the united states is a country, it is not a planet. >> the united states, indeed, a country, not a planet. now, the headline out of that event was not about rubio's retirement plan, but on rube yost backtrack on climate change, which is fitting, because if rubio has his way, everyone's going to be retiring in life vests anyways. the next stop on rubio's media tour was the more sympathetic cnbc. >> i'm just giving you some advice. take it from me. just say, i believe that the climate changes and leave it at that. it's not worth it. >> i do not believe that these laws will do anything about it. i'm not going to help destroy the american economy. >> the headline out of that interview again is on climate change. it didn't stop t

that's the change we need. we've got to build a congress committed to that change. we think we can do it if we build enough people committeded to this. >> what has the response from the hill been so far? >> people in the hill are skeptical because they dont think the american people care about this issue. and the only way in which we'll convince them the american people care about this issue is if the american people respond. when we launched our super pac to kick start our super pac on may 1st, i had people telling me, look, you're not going to raise $10,000, not going to get $10,000 in the whole of the united states committed to this. when we raise $200,000 in the first day, people were astonished and like, this is an amazing result. and mainly because we didn't use the standard techniques of buying ads on google or buying ads on television or anything like that. all we did was put up a web page and tweet and blog about it. it took off like wildfire. >> it is people wanting to take back democracy. this is one of the things that scares me most and one of the things

here in san francisco one of the major changes is the sea level rising would change the way this city is laid out. here i'm standing at the high tide mark, the high tide here. one of the busiest on the west coast. the assessment report points out that it could be--we could see rises from a foot to four and a half feet by the end of the century. if that's the case not only where i'm standing would be underwater, but the fifth row of at&t park would be underwater. we're talking about an incredible change. a mapping software scarce before and after shots. this is what san francisco would look like under that four and a half feet of water. we've seen that change already in new york city, brooklyn, where it was hit by huge storms, terribly effected, and this is what brooklyn would look like under four and a half feet of water. and then looking beyond cities like ours that are able to take some steps, we have resources but international communities like bangkok, the most visited city in the world would be inundated with the waves. this would be utterly destroyed. they're talking about out o

let's talk about a change that's not appropriate. we don't recommend including subsidy companies in the definition of formula retail based on the businesses in san francisco this proposed change is unlikely to have a changing effect with only 12 locations are subsidies and most of those qualify as formula retail. the proposed definition is problematic a subsidy is 50 percent owned by a company it is a formula use it didn't have to have multiple locations this intense defines is hard to define and this slide shows a recent business they have in brick and mortar locations the proposals to count the subsidies as written may not capture the retailer it intends to regulate and futuristic there maybe economies of scales. including no subsidies can impact the owners this is an example. the owner of super duper you burgers opposes those others restaurants and under the property legislation; right when super depositor reaches the physical retail control each of the other businesses have truly unique and don't contribute they're they'll have n
