please make this change. >> just a second. we are going to make the changes. >> we put three decimal points on. -5.001%. >> please. >> i suggest that the task force errs on the side of caution and keeps it at or under 5% to as many decimal points as you can. >> there is a proposal? >> the thinking with sort of overall be this is in relation to the swap that was proposed. i am not in favor of it because it think it also breaks of the neighborhood boundaries that were suggested. my thinking was if we drew straight lines, in the district 5 two lines, i think it is worth reconsidering, since we were doing it four straight line purposes as opposed to neighborhoods and communities of interest that we look at putting some of those blocks in. if we move to the outer richmond side, i think people have previously suggested a 27-block, and that way, you would then add one block into district 5 going that way. i think that way, you end up with in the variants. >> ok. let's highlight the first. if you could give the consu

change a project. we know you have a three-unit building carrying it is currently apartments. that does not change the fact of the intensity of the development or the height of the development. we do not even consider a partnership when we are revealing something for planning purposes. we have submitted nearly 300 pages of documentation that would fourth buy our general plan findings. i will spare you guys that summary tonight unless there are questions. if i have a full list of the general plan policies. it provides the transition from the intense development around the muni to some of the more residential districts. i would be happy to explain the need for affordable housing. if you have questions, i will provide more information. >> any questions to planning? any other points to be made by any city staffers? ok. at this time, why do we not hear from the project sponsor? >> members of the board, i am the attorney for booker t. washington. i do not have anything to add to what the planning department

has it changed? >> i think that good governance and often the opposite, bad government, lies at the root of improving the quality of life of people. for that reason, i have formed an organization called the global leadership foundation where i draw together 34 former prime ministers, president, cabinet ministers senior diplomats and we are all prepared to give advice to governments and we give our advice not for profit and we give our advice sort of beneath the radar, advise on how to identify what initiatives to take in order to end conflict, in order to settle conflict, in order to govern better, in order to get the economy going, in order to create better economic climates for foreign investment and the like. so governance is extremely important. i don't think the united states as the only super power in the world for the time being, can and should accept the role of the policeman of the whole world. [applause] in all countries there are governments. president roosevelt i think said there's a time

and change the whole nature of the disease. that is the dream. >> that still doesn't seem like it is really me that has the disease, in a lot of ways it seems -- it seems too coincidental, too ironic that it would actually happen to me, wilalmost see myself as detachen one way from being a patient versus being a leukemia doctor. >> it has been an interesting interaction between the two of us. i am his physician but i am also his boss. i am his colleague. i was involved in his recruitment as a fellow and then as a faculty member. i work closely with his mentors, who are really invested in him and completely committed to his success. so it is almost -- it is almost an objection more reason in, oxymoron in medicine but it is almost like a family affair .. the. >> we conclude with "the new york times" hong kong bureau chief, keith bradsher. >> one of the lucky things about being in hong kong, i don't go to beijing very often and all over the rest of the china, and the further from beijing the more you run into that nationallyism, n

commissioner leigh: yes. >> please make this change. the last thing on our list is the hill. >> melissa, do you want to make that proposal? highlighting the block of th e post of van ness and franklin which would put the cathedral hill development in 25. >> that is a population of one person. >> who lives there? >> the guards. >> the deviation for district 2 would be -5%. we will be checking on that. >> it is still ok. it is still ok. >> would you like us to check on the deviation? we can take a look at it. >> it becomes 6.9944. >> i have some good news for you. the deviation is 4.998%. >> ok. please highlight it. 4.998%. commissioner tidwell: yes. commissioner schreiber: there are fewer people who live on the median strip on 19th avenue. yes. commissioner pilpel: no. commissioner mondejar: yes. vice chair lam: yes. commissioner leigh: yes. commissioner alonso: yes. >> please make this change. yes, mr. schreiber. commissioner schreiber: i had this on my list as something that you mentioned. commissioner pilpel: the tingly trade that i d

things have changed now. there is a big concern among the christian population in egypt, both the evangelicals and the christians. what impact this is going to have on them now and in the future. >> reporter: how are they responding to these changes? will they go underground? or will their witness increase? >> i think one thing they will have, charlene, is witness increase. we talked to some people in ministries who go into the muslim world and say what happens and what is happening in egypt, is there is sort of an explosion of evangelism, and many muslims are come to jesus christ because of this. they don't see islam is the solution, as the muslim brotherhood is saying. some people oflizing. of leaving. one expert i was talking to today said the people who can, who have the money, are emigrating, but the poor cannot. another leader i spoke to said he is trying to encourage christians throughout egypt to get ready, to gird their loins, so to speak, to get ready for the times that are coming that he says are g

has that changed? >> that changed. i think try u.n. aids is trying to work with african countries. we have 33 countries in africa who have been able to increase their domestic investment by 50% during the last five years south africa is a very good example. just last year put $2 billion to fight h.i.v. in south africa. we would have never been e believed that one. and today we are seeing that happening also in the emerging nation. we have been working with china, india and brazil, russia. all of those countries today instead of waiting for resources coming from global funds are paying for their aids response. this is the change. >> let me ask you a bit more about something other than money which is this question. for a long time there was stigma against people who disproportionately suffer from h.i.v. which is to say drug abusers and homosexuals and prostitutes and people who no self-respecting african leader wanted to stand on the age with. has that changed? >> i think what is very frustrating me is n

brain and in a sense, changed their age and changed their lives. but it gives you a very specific outline on, what are the things i need to do today to have the best brain possible? >> so they can get the hardcover book at the $90 level. if $75 is more comfortable they get the dvd. now, obviously, we're watching the dvd right now, but there's a second dvd, and there's a couple of interviews on that. >> well, there's an interview. so people actually saw me, in this last segment, do all those great pull-ups with with that big weight around my waist. >> yeah, right, congratulations, by the way. >> so i interviewed my trainer. and i always tell people this isn't hard. you just he to be consistent. i work out for about 35, 40 minutes twice a week. that's it. >> right. >> you know, besides some of the walking that i do. this isn't hard, but you have to do it in a very specific scientific, brain scientific way. and then there's a great interview with my wife, tana who created this new wonderful cookbook live longer with the brain doctor's wife. and this i

these parks change because our city changes. it is not what it was 50 or 100 years ago. the needs of our community are constantly changing. parks of first and foremost are for people. it is for the use of the people of san francisco and visitors and people and adults. keith if that means to sometimes make a physical change to a park, we need to do that. i do not believe in freezing a park in time because that is the way it was 50 or 100 years ago. i think this was an excellent project. it will have excellent benefits for the people of san francisco. >> supervisor farrell. supervisor farrell: i want to agree with your comments. i fully agree with the personal attacks. every once in a while we get those out keyboard. he hoped that does not continue. i agree with the eir itself. i think the eir went above and beyond what is necessary here. it was not 100% thoreau in terms of what it looked act. and to say that it was not ferro is wrong. and this is a balancing act. we all approach it in different ways. we have impeccable grass fields of in san francisco with no other issues

so we've got to make a change. >> sreenivasan: a change for themselves and for the next seven generations. >> ifill: preparing for that change was the subject of a conversation hari had with members of coastal tribes from around the country at the museum of the american indian. we'll have that tomorrow night. on our "coping with climate change page," find interactive graphics on the lifecycle of salmon and a time lapse animation showing a retreating glacier devastating the habitat. >> woodruff: finally tonight, a new documentary about public hospitals and the uninsured and again to jeff, who recorded this conversation recently. >> the daily life of a large under resourced urban public hospital. a new documentary offers no experts and no statistics, just a rare fly on the wall look inside overwhelmed and an overwhelming system with impact on patients and staff. the waiting room, and there is indeed a lot of waiting going on was set in highland hospital in oakland, california. they have been screening at film festivals around the country and has already won several awards. we'll go to natio

this is a bylaws change. you can change these bylaws as you go. there is discussion to be had about the pros and cons. it is something that we would need a motion to make a change. regardless of who is the president now -- if we ended with bylaws, we say three years, it will be that way until we change it. >> just for history, the bylaws were written in the first year of this commission. 2003-2004. at the time, it was very new. nobody really knew what to expect, being a new regulatory agency. there were reps from the neighborhood and from entertainment. in order to make sure that nobody got into a big brawl here, the bylaws were written to stop that. i think that because seats have changed on this commission so often, lots of commissioners are brand new and don't have the experience that is important to have someone sitting in the chair to set the agenda and runs the meeting that is somewhat experienced. so, i think three years is a good amount of time to do it. should it still matter what sector it is? that is the other thing i wanted to think ab

for changes on the plan. there are no changes on the project. all of the original conditions would apply to the project and the drawings as approved in 2008 would continue to serve as exhibit a. i would ask the project sponsor that maybe they come up and clarify that. >> these -- i am not sure, with respect to this. i think the designer has changed firms. we are still working with him. right now, it is just the extension. commissioner moore: that is all i needed to know. the drawings are slightly different but that is neither here nor there. the commission was sensitive about the use of retail, what it will look like, what we are expecting. that is another discussion. i want to make sure that we are on track with the basic approval ideas that were in front of us. i fully support the extension because i'd be in the project worthy of extension. >commissioner antonini: i am fully supportive of thas i was n 2008, but is there prospect that we might be moving forward on this? and increased market for commercial sp

there have been changes from city hall, changes we have initiated with departments. a few of them went the other way, about 1.5 million to our benefit. that is a little bit of good news. moving on to expenditure changes, one of the things that we found, you will recall, a theme of this budget was investing in the maintenance of the transportation department. particularly muni. what we have budgeted for, or intended to, was that these physicians would start in january of the first fiscal year and be the equivalent of half of the full-time equivalent of employees in the first fiscal year. we inadvertently budgeted them as full-time positions, though as much as we would like to there is no way we can get them hired in the next few weeks. correcting for that was about $6 million. however, we took this opportunity to evaluate some of our parking enforcement. we have had a management change in that area. we have had a controllers audit going on. from that, we have determined that we could more completely managed the current parking and traffic rules on the books, but we wo

change a project. we know you have a three-unit building carrying it is currently apartments. that does not change the fact of the intensity of the development or the height of the development. we do not even consider a partnership when we are revealing something for planning purposes. we have submitted nearly 300 pages of documentation that would fourth buy our general plan findings. i will spare you guys that summary tonight unless there are questions. if i have a full list of the general plan policies. it provides the transition from the intense development around the muni to some of the more residential districts. i would be happy to

i caught myself saying global warming and changing my language to climate change.e hand, it is an effective strategy. it is an effective p.r. strategy to start calling it climate change instead of global warming but on the other hand it is pretty irresponsible. >> jennifer: well, i certainly appreciate you coming inside "the war room" and helping to clarify a lot of this. that is "huffington post" science correspondent cara santa maria. thank you so much for joining us. and up next, the fact that july 4th was yesterday is news to no one except brett ehrlich who cannot resist commenting on national holidays after they occur. brett's next and we'll be right back. right by those who gave their lives to for this country nearly 70 years ago. take the gamble out of stain removal. only resolve all-stains has two formula chambers to remove all types of stains. using shout or oxiclean? that's just playing the odds. don't chance it, resolve it. see a resolve difference or it's free.

we changed our business ways. we changed our booking agent, we change security. the did all the changes we have been hearing about. any questions you have for me i am here to answer. >> how is your business? >> not so good right now but the nature of our business is booking shows and having different events, working with different people and we are careful of where we're looking now. it will get better but recently we had to cancel a lot of shows and reevaluating different promoters and different bands were having and we're careful. we're learning and it will get better but right now -- >> what kind of shows are you looking? >> rock shows, local bands. we have the salsa night on mondays and wednesdays. open mike, comedy night on tuesday. we're doing a daily event so we're more known for a destination place for the day. that is where we will be more consistent. >> do you have the wherewithal to carry yourself forward until your business recovers? >> we're trying our best. >> the reason i ask is this. in my experience when businesses are troubled financially and th

but about the big picture i'm tom arbonne coming up in this half hour a koch brother fund a climate change denier has switched teams and is now saying humans are entirely responsible for global warming but more skeptics see the light the world climate change deniers continue turning a blind eye to the destruction of our environment also many refuse to accept the concept of climate change there are also those who argue that evolution is just as fun and science and faith go hand in hand a little or will they will there always be a great divide between the two and do you really need a rocket launcher to defend yourself well justice scalia thinks he should be able to have one no questions asked do we get to the point in america where people actually believe military grade weapons should be in our homes and workplaces explain it and i still take. it as the rest of the news a coke brother funded climate change skeptic has suddenly reversed course and now proclaims that humans are entirely the cause of global climate change three years ago this guy physicist richard miller was given one hundred f

to change the name.el very strongly that girls don't shop by brand name, our name would have been relevant to put into the logo itself. however, it's not to say that we shouldn't tweak the name, so it will be changing from fancy new york to fancy bridal. >> though the name didn't change much, everything else did. >> so we broke it down to who are the best selling stores. and out of the 22 stores, there are five of them that do the best work, that do the best business, that we pay no attention to. and they are going to be our focus. >> and manufacturing, how did it go? >> amazing. really, really amazing. so the sample we saw the other day, we brought two additional samples to the manufacturer, and immediately right off the bat she's like, hmm, that's funny, why are they doing it this way in if they stitch it underneath it will roll better. so i was always looking for someone to impart a little bit of their knowledge. and we are so excited about working here and just being able to run up and go pop in and

powerful man in the world soccer defensds fifa against corruption charges but says it is time for changes. >> kofi annan needs the russian president to save his peace plan for syria. >> the german government pushes for more action to slow down global warming. >> we began with corruption in soccer. sepp blatter, the president of fifa, has been defending the way his organization deals with corruption. >> things have become so bad that some are calling for him to step down, but he is having none of it, setting out ways instead to reform fifa and set up an ethics commission. >> sepp blatter knows how to come through a scandal unscathed. in his 14 years as fifa president, he has weathered many a storm. the latest -- his presence -- his predecessor receive massive kickbacks on world cup contracts in the 1990's. blatter has rejected calls to step down over the affair, but he has announced a new independent ethics court with its own prosecutor and the power to reopen old cases. >> with this decision today, fifa has given up some of its power, quite clearly. it means the conduct of officials will

we sort of had two buckets or exemptions when there were changes to the zoning. the other was when we were doing larger areas, and how we determine and calculate significant increases in residential development, it was overly technical and to a precise and too critical to codify in charter, so we chose instead to empower the committee, a technical committee, to determine that threshold of significance. when is it when we are doing larger area plants or changes in zoning, can we exempt that area from the cap? what are the conditions, and what is the threshold? so this committee of department heads, and planning, will be empowered under the charter to establish that threshold and mechanism and make it recognition -- recommendation to the board. the two-thirds up/down vote i understand is roughly comparable to what goes on when doing general plan amendments. we look at this and generally a technical exercise rather than a political one. we put the technocrats in charge of it to make a recommendation to the board, and that is how it came out. supervisor campos: i gue

>> yes. >> rose: is there anticipation of change or is there a sense that the system simply changes the individual rather than the individual changing the system in. >> i think a lot of people are waiting to see, but it is very hard for a new leader to make a lot of quick changes for the simple reason that they do not have the ability to immediately make ripple changes all the way down the ladder, it takes years to maneuver your own people into position. if anything, a leader's power seems to wax over the course of their ten year tenure and the last year or so finally diminish, so in the first year, we are likely to see moves to consolidate power as opposed to a radical shift for -- towards or away from economic reform, we are not expecting radical, immediate changes and of course all of this unfolds in stages fir we have the party congress, we don't have a date for it and the new cab met, the new premiere next march, and so it could easily be may before we start seeing, for example, whether or not there is going to be another real estate policy or whatever it might be. >> rose: is ther

it would change the attrition on page 21 and changes the attrition of all -- tdo we hav e that motion? we can take that without objection. there are just a few items that will come back with some additional information that we will follow up on in the coming day. we have exhausted the departments but i would like to ask the comptroller's office as well as the mayor's budget office to answer a few quick questions and the dates for us. whether you have an updated information on the state budget situation? >> i have an initial update for the committee. we currently are estimating the impact of the actions of the state thus far at approximately $10 million. the majority of the actions that the legislature has taken relating to child care deduction is about 6.7 $5 million in reductions that we know of at this point. the next biggest group of state actions related to the department of public health, mostly on the mental health side. there continues to be some uncertainty. and what we don't know is what the full impact of the cut may be. those are likely to have a very significant impact on

change in cities is an intractable problem.but if we return to the original question, i would like to strike at two words. i find that tradition and heritage, in the urban structure. i see the architectural history as a continuum, with every building an expression of its culture. history is being made. this is part of a continuum, and so this is part of a change to advantage. i will be not answering a question, but answering the question with questions. this will balance the difference between architecture and the character of the neighborhood. rather than asking how the project looks, which ask how this performance. how this contributes to urban identity and legibility. how does this add up to being more than two, and contribute to the street, the neighborhood, and the city. i suggested a very quick and lovely, fun way, to evaluate projects that are not on the individual basis but also based on the context. last, how this change serve as the opportunity to build an urban heritage. one that is rooted in the past and stable with

look at the decimals after the change. can we make the change temporarily? >> yes, please. let's not presume there's agreement. sorry, even though we discussed it. miss tidwell? >> discussion? >> i'm sorry. >> two points i believe it would be in range, it would be 4.97. >> you said discussion? >> yes. that's not a question though. we -- >> can we look at the layer of sequences defined? >> what does that have to do with this question? >> got it. >> there's no public submission for the boundry but we can look at the planning neighborhoods. this is the planning neighborhoods of sea cliff. would you like to also see, it also goes and extend out. any other questions? all right. miss tidwell? >> yes. >> mr. schreiber? >> yes. >> mr. pilpel? >> yes. >> miss mondejar? >> yes. >> miss lam? >> yes. >> miss ma melara? >> yes. >> mr. league? >> yes. -- mr. leeg -- leigh. >> yes. >> no. >> i will look at the deviations. >> thank you. >> can i make a comment while at the look at the numbers? >> sure. i think the pop lore initially had either ben the four blocks between two and five as a

if we have changes we need to articulate those now? >> now. >> if we have grammatical changes, should we not have them? what do you want us to do on that? >> this is about content and we're going to leave final grammatical review to -- no. we should finalize it now. >> otherwise you're putting us in the position of deciding what's grammatical and what's substantive. the recommendation -- >> you people are -- here's my problem. even issues of grammatical correctness are debatable. >> yes. >> so i don't want to spend more than that much time on debating that. and we cannot go line by line. i'm sure you have grammatical corrections almost line by line, which is fine. but that's not the best use of our time. here's -- >> here's what i would subject. i suggest we go through for substance, have any suggested corrections that are substantive now, take another break at some point and offer any grammatical changes to whoever is going to agree to look at those in short order and make some fast decisions about include or not. and we may not need

well you know it was a much more athletic change that's one thousand and six when you change what heart rate we used to race to run to the point of sale we used to sit out level for a lab where you pay for a new year and it was that was really more for job. well enough. but we're days really i go ahead now it is me answered like just what you said there were a bunch of orders we trade more strategically every new trade type of thing that is a strategic place on customers it's a large amount of orders you want to answer to a certain way and those reasons are like i said strategic maybe maybe a certain algorithm or something like that where we have many choices the can point to the post was preferences and they're really in control now for the let's say for hedge funds and useful was to still want the human touch we also can trade taxes we have a different way with george orders specifically ok and trade them for. ok go ahead notice or do what i want to know when we were talking before you said that that traders like yourself on the floor are a little like dinosaurs you're going the way o
