inclient to grant a continuance. but, i don't have any questions for you right now: but i may be alone here so, that is my views at this moment. normally, i would typically in my own practice and here i would think that a continuance would be warrantied upon retention of new counsel, that is standard, in the profession but i'm troubled by some of the representations that have been made today.. >> okay well i would move to grant the continuance based on good cause given the new substitution of counsel and i would move to continue it to january 16th. >>> okay and that would be the whereas continuance granted. are you interested in allowing any additional briefing for. >>> yes. >> how many pages of additional briefing? >>> what do we give 12? >> 12 is the initial allotment yes. >>> i would say six. but it's new counsel but they already have briefs. yeah, we can do it in six pages. >> six pages. okay so would that be six pages with unlimited exhibits and the appellate anti-'s submittal will be three thursdays prior and t

we are not opposed to a continuance. we would like us to talk to some groups that have been identified late yesterday afternoon and we will do that. i'd like a short continuance as the calendar can provide for us but we're agreeable. a couple of weeks would be sufficient for us. >> president fong: okay. >> thank you. >> president fong: thank you. >> my name is sonya cause, a community advocate for community owners development corporation. i would like to make a brief statement about 254th street. bear with me please. i am here today representing the bena -- which surround site and some are t todco pronts. the develop has taken into accounts senior representatives concerns about privacy, sidewalk safety and mobility. ben consortium is safety. at times, the surrounding uses at the moscone center, the gardens and the complexes, pedestrian traffic can be difficult to navigate. with the ongoing central corridor projects and continuing -- and development in the gardens neighborhood, the department and the city must provide a t

continue to watch this closely. in europe, a series of storm sti systems from the iberian peninsula and then to the balkans. first one is here in the iberian peninsula. that's going to bring rain showers across the uk. then this one, much stronger. already in italy bringing rain showers to the southern balkans. 20 to 30 millimeters of rain. 25 sent mecentimeters is expectg through your friday. so this is going create something blizzard like conditions across much of the area. then it continues to trek off to the east, kiev, you're seeing subzero temperatures. minus eight on sunday. that will be minus 15 and the lows, minus 20. even towards the west, just above the freezing mark here in london and paris. now here's a look at your extended forecast. >>> we'll be back in 30 minutes with more news. i'm gene otani in tokyo. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com

(applause) >> i want to say couple of words about jose luis. i do know of anyone realizes that jose luis moscovich a the authority and

looks like that will continue through the week. and if we don't look farther to the south, look at australia. say clone oswald has been bringing torrential rainfall. in rockhampton in the past 24 hours you're seeing record break rainfall up to 350 millimeters has fallen here and does look like all of the queensland coast is seeing heavy rainfall and brisbane and south wales. improving conditions further to the north. into the americas also we've been watching some bitter cold temperatures across much of the midwest over towards the northeast. very cold here. i want to show you a video coming out of chicago just demonstrating how just chilly it has been. this is a warehouse on chicago's south side. the second time this has caught fire. the firefighters had to go out there. they fought the fire and while they were doing that, the hoses were freezing up here causing all sorts of problems. you can see all that water as it was sprayed on the warehouse it froze and looks like an ice sculpture. just demonstrates how very cold and chilly i

at that time they requested a continuance of the matter. and i believe the appellant, the actual applicant did appear at the hearing. i went back to review the tapes and we confirmed and he confirmed and stated back to me it would be continued one month to may. so this was my recollection and confirmed by the tapes. >> were you given any reason for the no-show on the may hearing? >> no. or the continued hearing? >> i haven't heard from anyone. >> thank you. >> mr. sanchez, you indicated for the july that two attempts were made to contact him. what form of con tact was done? >> i believe by phone after the may hearing. >> there was no answer? >> it's my understanding there was no response. >> mr. duffy? no? is there any public ghent? comment? >> good evening commissioners, my name is brocmurphy. >> i'm sorry your time to speak is under mr. pashelinsky time. he is representing you? >> he didn't take his six minutes, can i take the rest of the time? do you have any record of how much time was left? >> probably half a minute. >> everyone okay w

the storm continues to kick up here. all of the lines close together, indicating northwesterly wind, piling up along the west coast of the japanese mountains here. you will see in some areas nearly a meter of snowfall from friday into saturday evening. especially down toward the south near negara, much of the region, seeing very heavy snow. good news toward tokyo, not much happening here at all. staying on the dry side throughout the weekend. temperatures will drop off. expected to see a cooldown. not too much snow at all. here to the philippines, also watching an area of convection, just this thunderstorm activity. and bring us heavy rainshowers persisting some time now. and seeing the risk of flooding. temperatures rather tropical to the 30s. shanghai at 11, and off toward tokyo. actually starting to see a cooldown. 6 for the high on saturday. now, we take a look toward the americas, watching some cold air move across the great lakes, and much of the northeast. this is still bringing snowfall as well. this area of low

the awss work continues on mission street. they were able to get an exemption from the holiday moratorium to allow them to continue that work. so we'll finish that early part of next if year as they work through the holidays on mission continuing to put in the new water line. coming up next, the below-grade structure contractor who now has the geothermal and grounding contracts within their package will start that work in january. the buttress work will continue and the micro pile production, they completed 70 in the total production piles and that will hopefully be completed in the next 90 days and move into zone 2. of course the excavation will continue to work from west to east of the timeline update still remains the same.we're starting the below-grade package and superstructure package is out to bid and we'll get the results in early february. parts of the exterior packages will be going out with the window wall in 1st quarter/2nd quarter of next year and beyond. so that is the timeline on the bse and the big thing is the

the fence issue continues to be a large issue. so, i don't think that's solved by any means and i do hope the department continues to be very diligent and making sure that we do provide adequate signage to make sure people know where the entrances are so we minimize that impact to residents especially if it's closed for two weeks during the year. and that is something i know the rec/park department is committed to do, but i do want to put that out there. and then finally on the noise issue, i don't think that we're fully solved on it. i do see progression of improvement on the sound issue. i think that area where people are most concerned has been sunday, the sunday evening noise, especially because there is work or school stuff that may be happening the next day. i think the calendar has moved a bit to address for that. so, i'm thankful for that. i just want to point out those are two areas of comments and criticism that we continue to hear from residents. some of those things will not be completely 100% solved, but i want to tha

i am not supportive of a continuance. it's a gentleman with a family. he just wants to make his space more liveable and this is what drives people out of san francisco is the stupid policy and dr's work this way. you need four votes and deny the project sponsor the project and if that doesn't happen you have the right to continue it afterwards so since the continuance has to be heard first and his interpretation and i think he's right because it's been already made but if the continuance is not granted we can consider it today and save ourselves and this gentleman -- >> i will withdraw the continuance. >> okay. >> okay. then the motion -- >> commissioner moore has a comment. >> i would like -- we have one registered architect here mr. jocelyn. i would like to ask you with the building designed in 61 what type of drawings would you expect as a registered architect and with dr and wouldn't the existing drawings at a minimum reflect what it is i oom not discussing the merging or not. that's not the issue for me. it's the type of drawings submitted and what

the fact that the fight will continue, and affiliates will continue. and part of the reason the united states will continue to have limited facilities will be to continue that task. it is also recognized by our neighbors. thank you. >> international relations club, thank you. i can get it right the second time. the next student organization we would invite is the student association. >> my name is thomas gibbons, i am the president of the student veterans association. if i have served to deployment in your country as the united states marines. what would you say to an american family that has lost a son or daughter in afghanistan, and what would you say they die for? >> that is a relevant question. the united states came to afghanistan, as i said, to defeat terrorism. after these of timber 11 attack. the united states came to afghanistan for the security of the united states. and also for afghans. that act -- those unfortunate incidents of the lives lost in afghanistan were for the safety and security of the united states. and also, by extension, for t

shares continue to rally, up 13%. the c.e.o., thorsn heins, told a german newspaper the firm continues thinking about strategies like licensing its blackberry software or selling its hardware business. shares of rimm have more than doubled since july. on our web site, www.nbr.com, there's more analysis of the stock chart. you will find it under the "blogs" tab. just look for michael kahn. three of the five most actively traded exchange-traded products were up. the japan index fund saw the heaviest selling, down 1%. and that's tonight's "market focus." >> susie: a big win for the keystone x.l. pipeline and transcanada's plan to connect canada's rich oil sands to refineries in southern texas. nebraska's governor today gave the thumbs up for that pipeline's new route through his state. it's one of the last hurdles the pipeline needed to clear before receiving final approval by the federal government. late today, the u.s. state department said its review of the pipeline project has been delayed and won't be ready until af

the corporation has expressed their desire to continue a lease with the city. and with that, we are due to approve the proposed leases. >> thank you very much. i did have a few questions on the japan item. i believe there was previously a balance of $2 million many capital funds for that structure and that looks like that was liquidated to the mta. can you explain what happened there? >> well, japan center currently was not given to the city yet. it currently has $2 million in its capital fund. through the capital set aside of 25% of net income. that balance would be transferred to the city should we enter into this lease. >> for what purpose? >> it would support mta operating costs. >> so that money was originally set aside for the japan town garage for capital improvements, but will be liquidated to the mta for operations? >> that is correct. >> the money was originally set aside to deal with capital improvements, but now it's swept for another purpose? was there an analysis completed that there is no capital repair work necessary there? >> yes. the mta bond

>> he is going to speak to the continuance, i believe? >> okay, go for it. >> it has taken nine months since our 311 neighborhood meeting to get to this point. dr made extraordinary efforts. the dr requester repeatedly delayed communications and beginning june 24th refused communications entirely. between march 15th, the 311 meeting and june 24 when they cut off communications as is documented in your package, i sent 20 emails requesting meetings and made more than a dozen phone calls and dropped byhir home four times. i explained that we are living in a rental unit and these delays are costing my family approximately $5,000 per month of delay. the dr requester allowed one meeting and the dr request he was not satisfied. we presented plans with further setbacks and a lowering of the remaining development by several feet, the elimination of multiple windows a bathroom and other reductions all to avoid being here for a dr. the dr requester responded by cutting off communication entirely. the dr requester has offered no reason for his inabil

stay with us as we continue. our coverage of the run-up to the super bowl continues tonight from new orleans. >> tonight we are featuring joe flacco. right now we're going to go to the big easy with sports director gerry sandusky. it looks like the weather has warmed up. >> it is gorgeous. we changed locations. we are at the convention center boulevard. you can see raven's fans, they find us no matter where we are. >> all of a sudden, the city has come alive with super bowl fever. you can see it everywhere. security is beginning to ratchet up as fans began to come in huge numbers. for joe flacco, the pressure begins. we have heard is he an elite quarterback? he gets his chance to prove he is on sunday. when they put a larger-than-life photo of view on the side of the superdome, i do know you have dumping right. but for joe flacco, wearing his jersey seems to be a bigger thrill than standing by himself in the spotlight. >> baltimore is unbelievable. i think if you spent any time around los people, football is ever

. >> another newspaper is continuing to play a role in this censorship fight. the beijing news ran text of a speech by its publisher saying the daily will continue to faithfully record every page of china's history. >>> the united nations and arab league envoy to syria is la meanting what he calls a lost opportunity to end the civil war. lakdar brahimi has been trying to find a way to bring government and opposition leaders today. president bashar al assad has refused to negotiate. assad addressed his supporters on sunday. he proposed a new constitution and a national referendum to approve it. he branded his opponents puppets of the west. brahimi met with assad last month telling the bbc the president's proposals are no different from ones he's put forward before. >> i think that what people are saying is that family ruling for 40 years is a little bit wrong. so the change has to be real. >> opposition leaders welcomed the remarks. brahimi is set to meet with russian diplomats with close ties to the assad government on friday. >>> rebel commanders have freed do

i think they're continuing to roll out products. and they mentioned the products they're rolling out, or that are being rolled out in the android system, targeting the tablet, and the tablet is where they're looking for their partners, and for their motorola to focus and get some more growth. >> susie: i understand that facebook came up on the call, particularly facebook's recent rollout of a graph search. what impact, if any, will this have on google? >> yeah, i mean, larry page, the c.e.o., commented a little bit on all of the investments that google has made over the years on search as their core product, and mentioned, example, all of the technology that has gone into maps, which is a very popular product. i think that is, to some extent, to indicate the most, which google had in terms of search. the fact that people used search to look for services and places, and then avertisers could reach them there. at the moment, that's not really what facebook's graph search is about. i would say in the near term, there is probably not go

continued now into nine weeks of continuous gains, which we haven't seen for some time. can this continue? >> yes, i think we can. we have the right policies in place at long last. i think the fiscal stimulus is very much the right thing to be doing. in that case, i was on bernie's show towards the end of december saying this is required and the delivery both in terms of a fiscal stimulus that is large, but also through pressure on the boj to achieve 2% inflation target. if the boj does indeed work in that direction, then i think this is really the last opportunity for japan to -- to really step back from the abyss of an unforeseeable pile of debt. and i think they're moving in that direction. the longer shinzo abe can keep the pressure on and get the right policies in place, the better it is for japan. evidence shows, in fact, that if japan achieves positive inflation, you get a sharp improvement in the primary fiscal balance, primary fiscal deficit moderated to gdp in the second period. it's possible for japan to do that. if they really aim towards getting nominal gdp
