you can either provide equivalent facilitation or you can apply for financial hardship based on cost constraints, legal constraints, or physical constraints of the building. there is always a requirement under both the california law and ada to provide access in the building and vernon. supervisor mar: and/or -- and your dbi bolten gives voters a sense of past modifications and what the hon. hardship or the process of -- unreasonable hardship for the process of -- allows someone to understand what modifications have been made over time in a small business? >> a good example is a level landing at the front entrance of a small retail shop. when you get that situation, you have this -- there is an administrative bulletin in the san francisco amendments that would allow for youtube place power to operators in -- allow you to place power to operators. in that situation, if you -- it would allow us to approve it, you are providing an equivalent facilitation. you are not providing the exact code language accessibility standards but what you are doing is providing something that would be con

providing the equivalent facilitation when they meet all those requirements. supervisor mar: thank you. >> ok, so when approving plans and performing field inspections, dbi's field inspection is limited to inspection of public and private property. aspects of the work require approval from various city departments. most notably department of public works and the department of city planning. better communication between the departments would provide a more efficient process and divorce -- accessible city. small-business owners, property owners, and design professionals are encouraged by the department of building inspection to contact us. any questions related to disabled access in compliance with the california building code and the san francisco amendments. the department looks forward to looking -- working with stakeholders and providing technical support, small businesses' needs while providing the access required for persons with disabilities. if you have any questions. supervisor mar: any questions? thank you. >> thank you. supervisor mar: our next speake

so i really mean some equivalent standard. >> it is meaningful, so equivalent remains a hard by. >> isn't there also something in the planning code for seeing the leading goal? they were getting quicker service? >> they had a goal for quicker service doing green buildings, yes. if you are to submit a project that will achieve a gold rating, prior to 2012, if you were to submit it today, we would be prioritized to the top of the pile, in the building and the planning department and the department of public works. planning has raised the bar to what we had during a year or two ago. every single one seemed to want to be prioritized, so they were all leads. assuming we had a list of people waiting. so what the planning has done is raise the bar. plus another 20% of available points. so yes. but if you bring in a project today, with the building department, we will say you are at the front of the line, we will take you next. and the same other factors, water fish and landscaping, reduction, management, guidelines, the energy commission in. now, i want to skip the existing building stuff for a

this particular one is if you are doing a lead or leave the equivalent system like you would do for these guys or high-rise, we have green point ratings, if you use that, and we see which of those elements you will be achieving, and importantly, with the actual model of these checklists here, here is one of these checklists. there are a lot of pages. you check what you are providing, and you actually tell us where on your plan you can find the elements to claim that you will be doing. so you say you are going to be putting in the point because we're using engineers, what ever is. you look at whatever it is. tell us. or if it is not submitted, there later is an addendum and they will be submitted. so you have the same check. yes, we will take care of that. but we do not know where is that you'll be doing it. so speaking of tracking, people often say, well, how do you report this? are you checking this stuff? the amount required to meet a lead certification is a big stack of documents materials. basically, leave it does the checking. you let them know what you are intending to do, they give

the modern equivalent of maybe $600 a year. there were times and places where it was better than that. even some extremely fortunate times and places where people aren't me be the equivalent of $1,000 a year per day -- $1,000 a year in today's terms. of course there were always tiny nobility's, kings and queens and dukes and princes who lived much better but they were numerically insignificant. if you had been born anytime prior to the industrial revolution, the odds are astronomical that he would have lived on the modern equivalent of $400, $600 or if you were extremely lucky, $1,000 a year, just like your parents, just like your grandparents, just like your children and just like your grandchildren. then a couple hundred years ago, something happened. incomes, and lease in the west, started to rise. by the year 1800, incomes were rising at about three-quarters of a percent per year. a couple decades later, that happened around the world. then it got better. just 20 years later, income or rising at 1.5% a year. this was unprec

it's a performance-based code and it basically outlines that if reasonable equivalencies can be found within the unique situation of that historic building, those equivalencies can be considered compliant for that building. again, as you -- i mentioned, the issues around historic preservation but also dealing with the public realm. we are able to solve most problems i would say fairly easily. they may not always be a quick over the counter permit. they sometimes do require some negotiation or discussion or design revision with the architect and mr. nathan showed one example that i think was fairly example and that was the 24th street front. i believe that building is historic and they changed the slope of the grade, used a strike plate to provide an automated door and slightly widened the door opening was all the well within the participaterers -- parameters of what we review on a regular basis when it comes to accessibility in historic buildings. we also do struggle, though, with property owners or tenants wanting to put more of their ramping or railings within the public right-of-wa

trying to do is keep it at an even keel, but what this means is over 12 months we have to have the equivalentof positions. he really is about dollars, because you are notm all your positions. i think we have been very successful. some divisions, some departments have gone back. be very$ tt &e%ei departments have gone back to show what they are experiencing in order to move the money about. but that will not serve us very well because we have such a cyclical nature. if we know things are getting tight, we may not stillç,w the positions, and therefore there is more attrition. if things are getting better, we will work with the mayor's p4ñoffice to make sure we do noo over budget. it really is a balancing act so we are not inconsistent. >> may i -- you mentioned the department is required to do this. but then i just asked a question about the department andttú who sets it, so -- can yu talk about how that is done? 7n÷ñr>> yes.4) veep sudeep rules, as far as i know -- >>$ob the city rules, as going back td,vÓjá)p&e%ei numbers used in years past and used kcáq)e. you know,k[ we do not budget at 10

the modern equivalent of maybe $600 a year. there were times and places where it was better than that. even some extremely fortunate times and places where people aren't me be the equivalent of $1,000 a year per day -- $1,000 a year in today's terms. of course there were always tiny nobility's, kings and queens and dukes and princes who lived much better but they were numerically insignificant. if you had been born anytime prior to the industrial revolution, the odds are astronomical that he would have lived on the modern equivalent of $400, $600 or if you were extremely lucky, $1,000 a year, just like your parents just like your grandparents just like your children and just like your grandchildren. then a couple hundred years ago, something happened. incomes, and lease in the west, started to rise. by the year 1800, incomes were rising at about three-quarters of a percent per year. a couple decades later that happened around the world. then it got better. just 20 years later, income or rising at 1.5% a year. this was unprecede

it is not an equivalency at all. left side lawyer groups are outspends in many times 6:1. you have huge amounts of money and no equivalency. >> another factor that is underplayed, the christian right has played, mated difference in my state. in 2004 i guess it was we had an ambassador of the constitution 62% of people, and that was -- doesn't reflect -- most people believe in montana about that issue. >> one of the interesting thing is the outside groups come in, the ads don't normally support their position the. when they attack a judicial candidate they do so on grounds other than supporting plaintiffs for pro-business. what they do is issues that inflame the public usually using criminal decisions in the judge's past career. susan selladoff did the judiciary. a story about how these groups came in to our campaign and started running massive amounts of ads talking about what a horrible person i was. money back on a bench on the judge's bench and just as i was expecting tens of thousands of dollars from lawyers's groups and went on to allow a cocaine dealer to be sent out

facebook says its greenhouse emissions totaled the equivalent of 225,000 homes. they say it may get worse before it gets better. >>> canine units received new equipment today. >> officers from oakland, redwood city and the pacifica police departments received bullet proof vests. today several teams held training exercises to demonstrate the design of the vests. >>> deadly in-fighting, the gang war that is forcing police police officers to save criminals from themselves and the new help surgeons are getting to focus on the work at hand. >> and there is fog out there but it won't make it into a lot of neighborhoods. it will be hotter tomorrow, i will show you how hot. >>> we are following developing news in oakland right now. firefighters are looking into a explosion at a underground pg&e vault. witnesses say flames shot into the air from a man hole on webster street. it happened an hour ago around 5:00 p.m. tonight. there are no reports of injury. >>> and more developing news in san francisco, two children needed medical attention during a water rescue at ocean be

instant equivalent of the big gulp and formula should carry a warning label like cigarettes did, likearettes do, to say this this could be hazardous to your newborn, it's the latest in this battle and it's another way to sort of make things even more difficult for women, which it's no picnic. >> paul: well, on the merits, bloomberg would say it is healthier and i'm doing a public service and that's my job, we have a responsibility to make sure that newborn health is as good as it possibly can be, so, what's wrong with that. >> look, there's no question that there are studies suggesting there are benefits to breast-feeding your child. i think one of the things he forbids. this is a highly personal decision, there are many reasons why women cannot or do not want to breast-feed, could be work, medications they're taking or their emotional state and the focus on one decision in child raising. i remember when i had the first child in new york as it happens i was talking to my doctor about this and exasperated. look, if you were so obsessed making sure your child had the absolute best start

if a business is proposing what dbi has as an equivalent accommodation, and if there is different departments you have different agreements about whether that should be approved, i think i am inclined to say businesses should not be incurring a pre application fee for that. because that is -- conflicts with internal city departments. but if a business wants to approach ahead of time or an architect, that may be different. supervisor mar: thank you. let's go to the -- president chiu for his amendments and do that. we have posed -- closed public comments. president chiu: the legislation requires the city to get prior building applications for tenants that want to come into compliance with the ada laws. this is an amendment in 38.3. this would require landlords to bring common areas to make sure that they come into compliance with ada laws, or they are required to disclose to a tenant that the current property may not meet accessibility standards. we want to make sure that in places that tenants are informed that could be financially or legally a bet -- required to comply and require their baby

what i had hoped to do so you have line by line happening and the english equivalent and those of you that have not had a chance to look at the text very briefly this is a parody of buddhist ritual. a priest decides he is going to show the powers of mystic buddhism and he appears and on the alter with different sorts ofornmen of owns and then progresses through profound things and all of these are tongue twisters but it's the first round of tongue twisters nothing happens and the priest is very upset and blushes extraordinary red and he tries again. the second time the chants are much shorter and he begins to lose his patience and again nothing happens. third time nothing happens and he basically says how much time to turn to the wonderrous powers of the lotus set raand he does chanting and the parody is something like if anyone is old enough to remember and the mouse before vatican two and you don't understand anything and it's mumbo jump bow and this is a parody of that. the second and third pieces before the intermission i will not introduce. i think the program notes are sufficien

there is no equivalency to balance. >> i think another factor is underplayed. that is the amount that the christian right has played. , because that has made a difference in my state. in 2004, we had the marriage amendment passed about the constitution. 62% of people voted for that. i was dumbfounded. it does not reflect what i think most people actually believe in montana about that issue. >> one of the interesting things is when the outside groups come in, i have noticed that the ads they run to not normally support their said it -- their decisions. when the attack -- when the attack a judicial candidate, what they do is use issues that will inflame the public. usually using criminal decisions from the judge's past career. and as you saw the movie hot coffee, the expos a on corporate influence in the entire judiciary. how these groups came into our campaign, this started running these massive amounts of ads talking about what a horrible person i was. they piled moneybags up on a bench. there excepting tens of thousands of dollars from lawyers groups. he went

it is not moral equivalence between the two. big government is immoral because it goes against the very things that enrich the human spirit. it is more pessimistic than optimistic. it is about politics not meeting the needs and wants of other people. it is about the here and now and not creativity and innovation. it is about lobbying on the right. that is why we have to make the case. because otherwise, yes, you will have like you had with ronald reagan. a brief year of prosperity. but people don't realize the role of government, they don't stabilize them, they don't than them, and we are going to get crisis again and buy back your. we have the occupied the high moral ground. free markets are the high moral ground. meeting beneath and wants of other people. and it enhances the sense of humanity in a way that we don't even realize. that is what we have to get across. because otherwise people say by golly, they mean well. no, they don't. they are the very things they accuse the private markets of being. >> in "freedom manifesto",

equivalent of food stamps. so people get the basics and get real free market. i live in new jersey and you really got me going on this, talking about this but this is a moral thing. in new jersey we have crazy legislation. i can buy a perfectly good health insurance policy in pennsylvania half the price i get images, even less than wisconsin. but it's illegal for me to do. i can buy a car in the states but i can't buy interest. why not open up nationwide shopping for insurance to get hundreds of companies to compete. that will start to change a health care is delivered, but you, the patient come in charge and come up with ways of getting more availability and health insurance. and you can do it, exciting ways to do it where people with chronic condition. so that's what we need. that's the spirit. government will kill creativity, kill abundance. free markets will bring creativity when we can't even imagine the steve jobs said about markets, he was once asked you do marking service. he said no, because people don't know what they want until we show them. that's w

and the constructional budget office analysis is that would not be enough to buy a medicare equivalenticy and the gap would go enormously so that once you got out, ten, 20 30 years, the voucher wouldn't cover anything. >> so much more would seniors have to pay under that system five or ten years down the road? >> well over the 75-year planning horizon for medicare it would raise the cost to the country of $34 trillion to buy medicare-equivalent policies. so that's real money. medicare is a much more efficient system and it is one of these things we really don't have to argue over. you have representative ryan running around with great idea we're going into introduce the private market in healthcare, and you go we have had that and we even have it within medicare. we have medicare advantage, and that costs more not less. >> because of course the insurance company is the middleman. >> exactly. and medicare turns out to be a very efficient way to provide care. they get into this thing, like you like the government. i don't care. if it costs us less fine. >> i totally agree. >> but we have

in this case and the mayor's office is requesting 162 new positions, full-time equivalent. as you know, if those are approved, they would start on july 1 rather than august or september. so, we will be reviewing these positions in the ensuing two weeks on a department by department basis, making recommendations there. secondly, we point out that regarding the hotel tax allocation, the steinhardt aquarium does not get an application, but that is not shown in the administrative code. the recommendation on page 5 of the report, except for the exceptions to the interim budget, which include the hiring of 162 new positions as of july 1, 2012, positions that i stated we will analyze and make recommendations on in the next two weeks, we recommend that you do approve the ordinance, the 12-13-14 annual salary ordinance and 12-13-14 honoraria authority budget, and that you amend the business of the tax regulations code to include the annual tax allocation to the annual aquarium, which would be consistent with previous border supervisors policy. supervisor chu: thank you very much to

of an equivalent dollar terms this is a complete change orientation and mark is totally right about china i'm just extending it's point asia you set up a monetary zone in asia are the asian countries willing to run large current account deficits. not even close when we go our next question because it's different we're all interested in this martin i mean considering what's going on in the euro the euro zone do you think asian countries are interested in a monetary union i mean i think we all learned you need to school you here for a do over i was involved in. making a joke and i think china is watching germany very closely and china is maybe one of the strongest industrial nation are now in asia so they don't want to be like germany basically paying for everybody else and bankrupting themselves in the process and so i think maybe some time off is that monetary union but i do think that china realizes at some point they have got to let the dollar i mean with all their reserves and dollar and euro it is somewhat of a problem for them that they have got to let some of that fall write i

trying to do is keep it at an even keel, but what this means is over 12 months we have to have the equivalentr of positions. he really is about dollars, because you are notm all your positions. i think we have been very successful. some divisions, some departments have gone back. be very$ tt &e%ei departments have gone back to show what they are experiencing in order to move the money about. but that will not serve us very well because we have such a cyclical nature. if we know things are getting tight, we may not stillç,w the

and we have the equivalent. that is in the introduction you heard said. we have an equivalent now. we have what is called obamacare obamacare was drafted and written by republicans for romney. governor romney has romney care. but here we are in 1994 in the last full year of world war ii. world war ii in 1944 was not yet a very subtle thing. we have been invading islands in the central pacific taken over earlier in the war. we have not been named gareth 1944. i remember because it is the 10th anniversary of d-day. i don't know what that has to say about the marriage, but in a case i won't forget the anniversary because of d-day. but the result of this unsettled war at this point was that roosevelt felt that he had to continue on. the war had to be one and the peace after that had to be one. but is there somebody else to take his place? he was not well. we knew he was not well. he didn't know how sick he was, but we knew he was not well. the cover of my book shows roosevelt quite blunt the way he actually looks in 1844. behind me as a flattering picture of roosevelt supposedly done e
