however, the floors and current design exceed the dimensions of the exception and would require new exception for the length dimension of the floor which has increased by 7 feet. staff believes that the current design still meets the criteria for granting of a bulk exception. with respect to the separation of towers, within s-bulk district the code requires setbacks from interior property lines and abutting streets. in order to preserve openness to the sky and avoid perception of overwhelming mass. [speaker not understood] along the howard, second, and tehema street frontages. [speaker not understood], the property line jogs to the east. in the previous design this was the area that was to be acquired from the adjacent property creating a space to comply with the [speaker not understood] requirements. the current design of the project does not comply with the current setback and a new exception is needed that was not previously granted. the conditions on the adjacent property will allow the setbacks to be met. [speaker not understood]. encroachment is setback to a loading dock [speaker not un

so, i'm okay making an exception limited to cafe floor. just a question on the health -- we talked a bit. what does the health department say about this? i imagine to the kitchen they don't like it because it's in violation. i mean, they're okay with the fact they're going to permit an off-site kitchen separate from the establishment. >> my understanding from enforcement staff is all permits that are required could be obtained within this one-year period including the health permit. >> and then on the broader legislation with 65 feet, i didn't see on the corner of market and castro and 17th are those already 65 feet, those corridors? you add the ones on noe and there was discussion, i mean, i think three corners should be added, but there was no discussion about the ones on castro and market. are those already 65 feet, like the gas station? i know we -- we approved that project. >> we approved the project. >> but the other gas station on the market street side, the north side of the street -- south side of the street, is that 65 feet alrea

there are exceptions. for residential kitchens, more than 50% of the wattage has to be energy-efficient and throughout the rest of the house, you have to use energy efficient dimmers or you have to use fluorescent light bulbs. you can design with incandescent lights, although i anticipate in future energy efficient codes, that exception will go away. >> there are lots and lots of other requirements in the california energy code that relate to electrical installation. for example, you can no longer put electriresistance heat in buildings unless you have put in a gigantic solar system or something that shows a reasonable tradeoff. it simply can't be done. when people put in an electrical baseboard heater and plugged it in and turn it on or hot wired it, you can't do it any more. it's not allowed. >> electrical resistance heating, it's not allowed. >> that's right. >> here is another successful of an energy-efficient light bulb that takes 55 watts and it lasts 10,000 hours. it puts out much more light than a

pdr uses are permitted in almost all the districts except red. heavy uses -- and then an additional height and to take advantage of the additional height in the sali, a project would have to devote one entire floor to an arts activity. regarding night-time entertainment, it's been that way since 1990. all of the existing night-time entertainment uses prior to 1990, the new code would principally permit night-time entertainment uses in the sali and wmuo with exception of the folsom street corridor -- or the 11th district up to folsom. they are generally prohibited in districts north of harrison street. it gets to the issue of separating night-time entertainment and residential. generally speaking, night-time entertainment is prohibited north of harrison street. however, limited live performance would be permitted in the harrison street llp. regarding historic buildings and land use flexibility that they may have. it's not proposed to give any boeings within the sali or wmou flexibility. in the wmug, rcd, red, red and mix, general all areas north o

i guess -- you always ask that question except to mitch mcconnell.et's for the a moment honor it as a legitimate question. >> let's get right to the winner in this category. the winner is -- that would be nancy pelosi. although i don't think her answer endeared her to many people but who knows. it was interesting to watch. our final category, biggest political gaffe. our first nominee president obama and -- >> if you have been successful you didn't get there on your own. if you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. there was a great teacher somewhere this your life. somebody helped to create this unbelievable american system that we have that allowed you to thrive. somebody invested in roads and bridges. if you got a business, you didn't build that. >> or his former rival, mitt romney. >> 27% who are with him who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing. >> and what about marco rubio. >> i have been here

all were granted except the mass reduction variance. zoning administrator did not find there were findings sufficient to grant that variance and the board of appeals agreed with that. it was the permit holder who had -- variance holder who had appealed that decision and the board unanimously upheld that decision. i think now mr. sider continues his unanimous streak wins at the board of appeals. [laughter] >> we can -- that's all for the board report. thanks. >> commissioners, that would place you under general public comment not to exceed 15 minutes. at this time, members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting with one exception. when the agenda item has already been reviewed in a public hearing at which members of the public were allowed to testify and the commission has closed the publ

if you're like that, you have to make an exception. you have to make an exception for the good days, i'm going to tell you why. it does not mean i'm turning into a high speed trader any sort -- that is just a bogus charge in itself. don't misunderstand me. a big up day is something that should be celebrated. i'm in favor of them. and they should be remembered. why? because the next time we get hit with a nasty down turn, you should remember the good days, it will keep you in the game. which is the ultimate mantra of cramerica. just as you need to remember the good days during a sell-off, you have to remember there's more sell-offs in the future when the market is roaring. that's why so often i say sell the rips but buy the dips. don't pass up an opportunity to lighten up just because you earn stocks for the long run or because you have heard it's wrong to trade stocks for any time and that you're an any investor. it does not absolve you of the need to have a judgment. in other words, you have to approach every rally with a grain of pes

except in the world of health care. what it means in health care is that you have a bunch of doctors, panels, peer groups who study let's say there is cancer drug a and cancer drug b. cancer drug a is $10,000 a dose, cancer drug b is $1,000 a dose. people suspect they might be equally effective and in fact people suspect cancer drug b, the cheaper one, might actually be more effective. >> because? >> because it's a better drug, different drug works better on this cancer. so what comparative effectiveness does is says let's study the outcome when you give patients b versus a. so far so good. all logical, right. congress has prohibited medicare from then saying okay, we've just figured out that the thousand dollar drug is actually more effective than the $10,000 drug or the same. therefore we're only going to pay for the $1,000 drug. we didn't decide this, peer groups of doctors did exhaustive research. we're only going to pay for the $1,000 drug, not the $10,000 drug, congress won't let medicare do that. guess why? you t

if we're talking about the exception or the rule -- the exception is he's an exception, i'm an exception, we might -- i don't think we're the rule. we might represent .2% of people who can make it doing standup comedy or sports. the reality is for the general public, that's not a reality. i don't -- i mean, i can't disagree any more. >> lots of people have passion. like you said, couldn't be -- your son couldn'ting a professional supermario -- couldn't be a professional supermario player but could be a video game designer. there are so many things you can do. i think it's important to cultivate your child's passion and aspirations and aptitudes. my daughter -- you made a great point about women. i know a girl who just graduated college, got an amazing job with microsoft because she's, frankly, one of the only women out there that's got a mechanical engineering degree. my daughter loves lego's. she once said, "don't tell anybody, this is a boy thing." absolutely not. maybe she'll be a designer. find what your child loves and exploit -- my daughter loves to read, i buy books for her. find

is not much going on except for a few high patches of fog.t is right where you should be on the high side overall it will not matter. temperatures continue to warm up and they absolutely fall apart, they drive up to the north and really there is not much. santa rosa 38, livermore 36, 39 and i have seen some upper 30s. a little southeast at napa, for us sunny today, except for a few high clouds, temperatures continue to warm up, and we go to above if not tomorrow, thursday into friday. mid-60s, 67 in brentwood, 63 mountain view, redwood city 65. a few clouds on thursday, but it does not matter, we say hello with the temperatures. >>> a great storm in the great plains is barreling into the midwest. look outside amarillo texas, this is yesterday. they had hurricane force winds and 17-inch happens of snow on the ground trapped drivers on the highway for more than nine hours. >> we declared a state of emergency for kansas city missouri and we tried to give as much notice as possible for that potentiality. >> reporter: forecasters say the storm wil

we are exceptional because we do exceptional things. both where there are problems as well as where there is promise. both where there is danger as well as where there is democracy. i am optimistic that we will continue to do these exceptional things. i know that is who we are and it is who we have always been. as we ask for our next steps in this path, we would do well to learn a lesson from our own history. in the aftermath of world war ii, america had a choice, just like we do today, to turn inward. instead the secretary of state, george marshall, sought in both defeated and allied countries the threat of bankruptcy, homes and re -- homes and railways destroyed, economies decimated. he had the foresight to know that there could be no political stability, no peace without renewed economic strength. he knew that we had an obligation to partner with europe, help them rebuild, modernize, give the push that it needed to become the powerful and peaceful trading partner it is today. after the war, my friends, we did not spike the football,

eldersburg, columbia, one to two inches of snow, and that was more the exception than the rule. here on tv hill, only half of an inch was measured. that was the more standard measurement. of course we had the slippery conditions, but the sunshine is out and all of that stuff should be melting. generally in the 40's. south of baltimore,. we still have some 30's to the northwest. frederick is up to 43. so is ocean city. in the 30's in far western maryland. here is the satellite image. there is the storm that has just passed us. here is the next one, upstream. a bubble of high pressure is giving us clear conditions. this next disturbance will generally go north of us overnight tonight, and then we will have another one that is just getting put together in the plains states. that is the one we will watch in the next 24 hours to see how it develops. today looks great. 42-47 for the high. lots of sunshine. seasonable temperatures. west to northwest winds of about 10-15, and stronger gusts here and there. the wind on the bay is not bad. here is the futurecast. here is the disturbance t

and cafe floor has been nothing but exceptional hosting events. the comments about it's existed a long time. if a place it busy it doesn't mean it's po lard. the last several years within a block of cal state flora, [speaker not understood], baghdad cafe which has been there for decades, [speaker not understood], 2223 restaurant, eich's sandwich shop, jake's restaurant and blue restaurant and that's just what i could think of while sitting here. that's what's in a [speaker not understood]. some have been independent restaurants for 25 years. when minimum wage goes up, when the health ordinance required goes into effect, it can affect a business by $10,000 or more a month. this extra revenue for sales tax or when gasoline goes up, the products go up in cost just because a place is busy doesn't mean it's profitable. regarding the comments on the health and cleanliness, yesterday happened to be a random check. it scored a 92. as you know, when they come in, they don't give you any warning. the question, going from aydin jai alley is kind of [speaker

. >> except this time under water. >> see the remarkable journey of the aqua lung. >>> and what has some kids inside the studio so excited. >> arm hair? >> that's exactly what they're excited about. >> we've got the story behind a real crowd pleaser. >>> some violence was caught on a different kind of camera. take a look at this. >> what the heck is -- >> you're looking at a guy known as the marijuana man being held up by two guys while he's streaming live on the internet. this guy has a 24-hour channel that people watch. these dudes came to his door, the marijuana man went to let them in to see who was there. they barged in on him, one carrying a gun, the other carrying a crowbar. the marijuana man knew that if he got them into this room, they would be caught on his live stream. >> that's smart. it doesn't almost look real in the beginning. my immediate reaction is to say this is fake, but you're telling me it's definitely rule. >> it's absolutely rule. we reached out to marijuana man and he told us all about this video. we also reached out to police in this area. so far the guy in the

we have an exceptional community of talent drawn here by that reputation. they devote their lives to their craft. if there is no place to perform, everybody starts to move away. i came here to thank and commend the board of supervisors for approving the new llp music permits and to encourage support by city leadership of the critical improvements to the west soma plan and the continued support of the performing arts. thank you. >> thank you, mr. lucky. >> supervisors, my name is guy carson. i am a board member of the california music and culture association. i would like to applaud the efforts of jim niko and his task force for this very comprehensive plan. i would also like to urge you to adopt amendments put forth to you by cmac, who could protect the nightlife. it's been often said that san francisco could do more to plan for fun. and this is a great opportunity to do so. we should not add any more residential units on 11th street, where there is already a lot of tension. this is a great time for us to establish that. thank you. >> thank you, mr. carson.

you have the same type of flight experience, except this time under water. >> no way. no motor?otor. basically this free driver experiences the same type of flight, so to speak, under water. he goes down as far as he can go, completely inspired by what the wing suit fliers do in the air, except he's doing it under water. when he gets down to a depth that he feels is his limit, he inflates a balloon that brings him right back up to the surface. >> does it give him more control as he's flying under the water. >> no reports on what this does for the diver. i think it's just an experiment to bring together the wing suit and diving to give you the similar sense of flight under water. >> he looks like a stingray. looks like the stingray also inspired the suit. >> it comforts me that there's a balloon that shoots this guy to the top, because i can only imagine you're using this thing and you're diving down and you're like this is great. and now i'm really far down and i can't get back up. so that's great because it shoots him right back up there. no word whether this ocean wing suit wi

the entire region with the exception of reagan national is below 32 this morning.you that false over the next couple of hours will get a chance to kind of stick out there on some of the roadways, some of the grassy surfaces, that kind of thing. win the weather advisory out to the west not looking for a big accumulation of anything but there could be some icing out there, particularly the threat of freezing rain. that is why the counties in purple here. so communities out to the west, after he got the biggest threat of some icing later today with that winter weather advisory into effect until 10:00 tomorrow morning. there is your forecast. your morning commute will be dry and just kind of cold. we'll warm it up with the wintry mix transitioning to light rain. very light amount of anything that falls. >> is that the good part of it. >> time now to check in with julie wright. >> >> >> busy ride out here. two separate incidents occurred here on the ramp to university and the second occurred after that. both accidents now resting on the shoulder. the outer loop of the b

items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting with one exception. when the agenda item has already been reviewed in a public hearing at which members of the public were allowed to testify and the commission has closed the public hearing, your opportunity to address the commission must be exercised during the public comment portion of the calendar. each member of the public may address the commission for up to three minutes. i have no speaker cards, commissioners. >> i think there was one on the floor. * jonas, on the floor. >>> linda chapman. about 16 13 larkin again. what would you say if i reported to you * that the director had been offered $2,000 by the project sponsor? and what would you say -- don't expect that is going to be the case. what would you say if the project sponsor -- [laughter] >>> this is news i know to the director. it has to do with the fact that we're putting people

why is the governor carving out special exceptions for these guys?hyou eat less...ing weiyou lose weight.et. it's a great plan... until you get hungry. that's the time to take slimful. one tasty 90-calorie slimful and a glass of water satisfies hunger for hours making it easier to eat smaller meals, and resist snacking. your friends might think you found the secret to losing weight. but it's no secret... it's slimful. eating less is a beautiful thing. >> neil: hell, no, cuomo, after the crockdown on firearms, new yorkers are fired up. thousands marching in albany again the new law on gun control. governor cuomo saying the exemption for movie and tv film makers is in the works. they're wondering, how does that work? what do you make of this? >> i find it reprehensible that governor cuomo would allow the entertainment industry to put nor violence on our televisions, in front of our children and in our homes, and the facts are there. adam lanza, authorities said he was motivated by video games. james holmes, allegedly said to authorities, abc news repor

all those exceptions that are legally in the books today fight tax evasion. like we're doing through the tax forum then tried to close the loopholes it with the multinationals tried to tax more of the activity that takes place in your own territory nor the taxes on labor so that it's cheaper to create an additional new job perhaps even lower the taxes on the regular companies the companies inside that are isolated by the by the borders of the country are having to pay the twenty five the twenty eight to thirty percent tax revenue the tax rate because they don't have anywhere to park their profits that is low taxation you know so in a way it's very unfair for them do that also and then. tax emissions make it make your tax system greener ok tax property tax. real estate their lives distortive and more socially progressive than it is to for example give subsidies for the consumption or the production of fossil fuels today some of the things you mentioned are really troubling you know the. boost the competitiveness of the real economy and what we're seeing now is
