the area -- horizontal siding. on top of that, we transform the building to receive passengers. it is really about people riding in the city and people leaving the city. for us, is really about creating -- maximizing the use towards the bay, which are exciting views towards the vessel that has arrived. and also maximizing views back toward the city, which are quite exceptional. that means that above our working days, we have a kind of "where the people are" zone, which is very classy and is all about the transportation experience and connecting the waterfront to the city. on top of that, we have a roof. you see the concept design that you saw last time, which is a simple flat roof, and one of the things that is extremely important to this building is that not only does it have offices that relate to the -- four facades that relate to the environment around, but it also has what we call the fifth aside -- facade where the hills of san francisco look down on it, so it is important that it be beautiful from up above a

basically makes a vertical and horizontal line. you want to look for these things when you look at a building. and it's not always obvious . if you look at this building, this one was an example of the racking we talked about. see how these studs are starting to fold on each other? if this whole thing fell over, the studs would be connected to each other. this is an example of the racking. obvious example of racking here; right? if you walk into this building, you are going to say this is heavily damaged. easy. large cracks. again, you want to look around the doors and the foundation. here right at the doors because, remember, the soft structure is the bottom structure. that's going to move the most. then right around the doors are structural members of the house. that's where you are going to find a lot of the damage. this one -- but look at all the doorways again. this building, again, here in the marina. somebody wrote something on there. if you look really close it says, search. somebody wrote that there because maybe they thou

it's the first really major, purely horizontal transaction. and so naturally, a lot of people are looking at it very carefully. >> mr. silva. >> i would agree with that as well. i think this will have a major impact throughout the whole mobile broadband ecosystem, and on the political land, i think as has been suggested, it'll be the major policy, antitrust policy challenge of the obama administration, and, you know, that'll have implications going forward as other deals come down the pipe. >> jeff silva, robert bell, thank you for being on the communicators. our discussion will continue. we have representatives from the consumers unions and the communications workers up next. >> as we continue our look at the at&t, t-mobile usa proposed deal, we are now joined on the communicators by debbie goldman of the communication workers of america, and parul desai. if we can start with you, ms. goldman. the cwa has supported this deal, why? >> we think it's good for the consumers and workers. right now we are moving in the wireless industry and into th

the project is a vertical and horizontal addition, remove illegal unit and ground floor, and full bath and exercise room at groundball, interior remodel, new roof deck at second floor, at new third floor. public hearing was held on march 9, 2011, and the matter was continued to allow time for the parties to discuss settlement. commissioners, would you like to ask the parties if they have reached a settlement? how would you like to proceed? president goh: i would like to hear from the parties. are they here? ok. >> how about a yes or no response? have you reached a settlement? >> no. my name is james o'neill. >> we held the hearing and closed the hearing. i am going to allow two minutes to tell us about the settlement negotiations. >> that was the request for's agent? >> yes. >> during the settlement negotiations -- >> could you speak into the microphone, sir? >> during the settlement negotiations, the project sponsors offered to build a box on the second floor deck. what it would essentially do is come in 36 inches from the deck side that shares the wall with my client. they have offer

now they have horizontal drilling, which really has, in my mind, probably caused more of the gas to be able to leak into surface water in areas because the exposure of the well is now going horizontal. they frack up, not out like they used to. they have a larger zone than they would frack at one time. the acid would go in first. . . expand the scope of an operation, as the caller points out, the level of consequences also expands. so indeed, high volume horizontal hydrofraking requires a lot more gas, pressure that even a decade ago. the caller points out one thing about well casing. we learned a lot about those issues in the gulf spill. the industry does have best practices and guidelines as to how to design a well safely. pennsylvania has some requirements. the issue is whether those best practices are always in place. host: the series is available on the web at nytimes.com. thank you for being with us. we are back tomorrow morning at 7:00 eastern. the superintendent of banks and the state of new york, the policy director for the afl-cio. live coverage gets underway in just a moment.

some horizontal bars prohibited logs all together. the national park service set up dozens of posters like these. the areas of blue indicate where dogs would be required to stay on leash in the parks. many of those don't like to see so much blue. >> i feel like what they have decided is really too restrictive. >> if there are restrictions put in place, what will happen is the irresponsible people will continue to use the area and those who are responsible will be alienated. and that's going to become a nightmare. >> others supported the restrictions but did not wish to appear on camera. they will hold three more open houses this week and expect several thousand comments. >> this is not the final outcome tonight. we hope their comments will provide that for us. >>> the weather is certainly calming down but we are not ruling out the chance of a stray shower. how much longer you can expect wet weather. stick around, straight ahead. >>> and things are starting to calm down outside. our shot from down san francisco. however we are still ke

the homeowners who are waiting to remodel a bathroom, kitchen, the smaller contractor who does horizontal additions and the list on this evening's agenda. the items are environmental exemption review process, appeals that come before the board of supervisors, d.p.w. permit applications and the online tracking system and a.d.a. i would like this evening to be about discovery and education. we are all members of san francisco community. let us make it a productive evening. in conclusion, i hope to have another meeting sometime soon with the planning department. they were unable to get ready for this one, so we hope to have a meeting with them in the near future. some of the people from a.d.a. approached me in the last few days and they were wondering why we had the a.d.a. so far down on the agenda, so i would like, i'm sure it's on there because of scheduling and maybe, virginia, you could answer that. virginia. >> yes, commissioner, murphy. a.d.a. was scheduled on the agenda as the last item primarily because it was an informational item and since it's department staff that is already here

incorporate a mobile service tower and the first to install the rockets payload in vertical instead of horizontal position. the launch melt will also be fixed instead of rotating so the rocket itself has been designed as the first in our seven family capable of roll maneuvers for proper post launch positioning with first liftoff slated for august or september of this year the caruso use center will give european satellite launch capacity a much needed boost and will be yet another in a long list of high points produced by russia's progress. the technological level in capacity of this plant and several other high tech factories that work among other things with cryogenics equipment will allow us to develop a new launcher under the name use. it will be used at russia's new launch pad the cosmodrome. both russia many of the world watches have cared for in conflict but that's a privilege this crossing russia over one hundred fifty million dollars a year. well here's this program here is. the soviet and russian space programs have blasted off from several sites spread across the country's vast territo

in his rendering, ecb proposed plaiting and horizontal glazing. we had our first meeting in july 2009 before beginning design. we did mapping studies to investigate how the placement of the addition could affect neighboring properties. with a 10-foot rear set back, because of existing buildings already covering 100% of the law, it is impossible to see the vertical additions from neighboring yards from behind. the only place you can see the addition is obliquely from russell street. finally, i would like to mention the care we have taken to incorporates sustainable strategies, including a large skylight, which will direct daylight into the units, thereby reducing electrical lighting load and overhang at the rear of the additions to reduce heat gain and radiant heating throughout the building, all within the framework of an adaptive use. thank you. thank you back -- commissioner oll open it up for public comment in support of the project sponsor. >> good afternoon, commissioners. on behalf of the san francisco housing action coalition. our endorseme

turbine building of the number 2 reactor, number 1 reactor, and so the underneath this is extended horizontally. the altitude is minus 15 meters or 20 meters, so it is very deep. so there is the vertical shaft called the pit. >> known as a lid on this hole? >> probably. the building or hut covering it was swept away. >> and it's filled with quite a lot of water? >> that's right. so there is -- the water level of the trench in the number 2 reactor is about 1 meter below the top. probably this contaminated water comes from the number 2 reactor and it's contaminated. we have to avoid that it will be released in the sea. >> the highly radioactive water, first we have to recover it and that will be used for this purpose? >> you can see this white tank there. there are three white tanks. >> this is a fire engine, yes, and this tank appears to be very big. >> well, yeah, it can contain the order amounting to 2,000 tons, and these tanks have not been damaged by the tsunami. so highly contaminated water can be collected into this -- these white tanks after it is pumping to the condenser. >> they're alre

i think it is important to note that the program is based on a horizontal development. developers are able to build out the infrastructure, the public improvements, parks, roads, sewer lines, water lines, and then ferry terminals to get to land has that could be developed, but our agreement with the developer gets us to the point where we have developable pass, which they could sell or develop on their phone for market rate housing, we could use them to develop affordable housing. your actions that we are going to ask you to consider in the next couple of months are certifying the eir, approving the redevelopment plan, the tax increment allocation agreement. you would be asked to amend the general plan to allow for what is to be constructed here to be constructed, proving that the dda, as i talked about -- there is a separate development agreement. there is a trust exchange with the state so we can actually have development on non-trust property and trust uses on trust plan, and you will be asked to approve the ceqa findings and mitigation measures. that will happen. we

that both of the adjacent property owners, both of the dr requestors facebook tonight, both of the horizontal additions at the rear of their property. this is from the site design checklist prepared by the planning department. you can see the department meticulously reviewed this application and found that it had minimize its impact on the light and air of the adjacent properties. we did some studies, shadows studies, which provided to the -- which we provided to the dr requesstors. they told us they were inadequate. there is impact. there is no doubt that at the winter solstice, when the sun is to the south at its most, there is impact. however, the house to the south is higher than we are and extends as far as we do. there is a large tree in the backyard of the robertsons' that provides a lot of shade. this is the direction that the view goes from these houses. it goes to the east. it does not go to the south. this is the view from robertson's home. that tree is what they see when they look from their upper deck, from their middle deck. the will see our structure when they looked directly s

that is further from san francisco, past san luis oh bis to is where we saw the horizontal break east of japan. in terms of the earth, enough of a shift happened with the earth's mass that the day actually became a little bit shorter by 1.6 microseconds, if you're counting, but the ax iks did shift by four inches. an earthquake of that size obviously has a tremendous aftershock sequence. 26 earthquakes so far above 6.0, and more than 100 at 5.0 or larger. >> we'll check in with you for the local weather in a little bit. we'll continue to monitor the earthquake throughout the weekend. right now a reporter is on his way to japan to cover the devastation. he has many friends there, and will start bringing us their stories starting tomorrow. live and online. >>> at 11:00, could a five or ten-second warning of an earthquake save your life? the earthquake warning system already in place in one california city, and it's coming to the bay area. not only can it warn you of a quake, but it can also reportedly be programmed to turn off the gas at your house, among other things. we'll show you ho

up to the board of supervisors as an appeal, or can it just be -- if it's a two-unit, vertical horizontaled a dig, or if it's a 30-unit or bigger project, could they all be appealed on the same basis without exception for size or anything like that? >> if there's been a determination by the planning department on ceqa, they can be appealed to the board of supervisors. in regards to any of the review and approval process, that happens at the planning commission, i don't have any information on that. and i would suggest mr. sider add that to his list for when you guys have your joint meeting. president o'brien: right. is there a reason why the requirements for overturning a decision is different for one of them? >> it's actually specific in the code section, which is attached in the packet that i gave you. if it's a conditional use appeal, it does require a super majority, which is the eight votes to overturn. all the others are a simple majority. a simple six votes would overturn. president o'brien: you may or may not know. it's not necessarily that you should know, but do you know yourself

the rain is not coming straight down, it's coming horizontally, feels like needles on your face. and the ocean you can see how rough it is. looks act the water crash against the rocks. national weather service has issued a high surf warning for this afternoon. the advisories for the water but one look at highway 1 tells you how dangerous the driving is this afternoon. vehicles wade through the water on highway 1 and then in the town they're without power, and they haven't been able to contact pg&e. >> we had a little coffee brewed up so we kept going with that. so now we're putting the coffee into the pots with hot water. >> the station cafe becomes a meeting place for some people, no electricity since 7:30 this morning. they have a piano player to ent contain the guests. that means also since they have no electricity, the men use, anything they can cook on the gas grill. candles light the tables. they were supposed to go hiking today. so far the trip isn't meeting expectations but they're coping. >> we were having breakfast in the dark, and couldn't shower, and we're quite -- qu

. >> i said earlier in my brief that in 2006 we had plans to add a vertical and horizontal addition to meet the growing needs of our family. at that time, we began plants. when i talked about the meetings and reviews and drawings, i was referring to this. that still stands today. that addresses every single issue with our home, from the basement to the chimney. there are multiple problems. no matter what we suggested, our first architect resigned because he said for mental health reasons he could not deal with it. every single thing. at one point, we moved 17 windows from a drawing. another set of issues. it does not matter what we do. we did not add any skylights. believe me. you would have photographs if we did. we just thought we would do whatever you tell us to do. we'll put some money notices of violation on the house. i would gladly tomorrow repair the house. but just let us do it. she will not let us do it. the dormers we might have to remove -- we know it was built 25 years ago because she attracted and states it was 25 years ago. i did not even live in america 25 years ago. if

guest: well, this is a direct horizontal merger between two direct competitors. this raises a core issue of whether the government should allow the marketplace to move from four major competitors and a number of minor ones to a situation where we would have three nationwide competitors and several smaller ones who are present in many of the local market. historically, the department of justice has reviewed these transactions by looking at very local markets. they are called cellular market areas. the government divides the country into 734 cellular market areas. in previous transactions, the analysis has ben on a cma basis. so you can expect a very granular review of this transaction. host: right now at&t and verizon control 80% of the cellular market. what does this deal do? how much more does at&t get? guest: i think that is a little bit exaggerated. the figures i have seen would suggest that the to have a market share closer to -- the two have a market share closer to 60%. the transaction might leave them with a share of 70% or 75%. however, that is assuming t

a horizontal addition and a vertical addition certainly will result in additional assessment. by the way,? are interesting because the rules change. if you are on the ground and it is a patio, it has different rules. if you lay a flagstone patio, you're not getting a permit for a deck. but if you build -- let us say you build a deck that is less than 30 inches off the ground. no permit is required. it does not go to the assessor reporter's office. between 30 and 36 inches off the ground, you need a permit. you can expand the entire size of your rear yard. if you are more than 36 inches off the ground, you have to meet the planning department open space requirements and encroachment requirements. there is a whole range. another thing would be converting an unfinished basement or adding living area, which is happening very often. people are taking the back of their grosz and turning it into their room, or an attic. that is happening in lot. you have to be assessed for that. i think that is a very green thing to do because you do not have to add building. do you have anything to

if we progress on with our projections of where sea level is going, the horizontal red bar represents the lowest elevation of our current weir structures. if we look at ipcc projections, for example, of where tides are going, it doesn't take too long -- not too many years, maybe about 2013, 2014, we get to a point where at peak tides we have very regular occurrences of bay water actually topping the weir and coming back into our system. the bad news is we actually see this happening now. the photo on the left is that same structure you saw discharging in a previous slide. the weir structures are the slots underneath. the lower right photo you are seeing a high tide that is actually not happening on a stormy day, not when we're having a lot of wind and tidal surge; it's just a very high tide that's actually topping over the weir and coming back into our system. the problem that we face i think is represented very well here in that if this becomes -- right now this is maybe a several times, several days a year event. probably it occurs for several hours and then stops. so we can sort of
