liu: i used some birdcages in this group of paintings.he bicage, for me, symbolize, maybe, the women in this paintings, their spiritual captivity, the loss of freedom. the women treated just like objects. maybe the objects, like the birdcage in this case here, like the embodiment of the women. man: the good news is that the mount is relatively universal, and they'll all be parallel lines. so you can switch them anytime you want. if you don't like the look, we can just change it. also i really want to see them hung there, and then i can make a decision. yeah, it's pretty hard to make a decision with them on the floor. uh-oh. oh, my god! who did the installation? who did the installation? well? well? well? so what do you think? liu: i remember that face probably. i painted it, washed away, painted it several times. also, i always do two things to my paintings. one is -- well, i did okay job, not bad, you know. some parts -- "how did i do that?" but also some regrets. "well, i could have done better that part. i could next time." i put it ou

commissioner liu? commissioner liu: thank you, mr. selna, for something today. i definitely do understand that you need certainty in pursuing your job. i think what i am struggling with here is that in order to make a decision on a waiver, which we take seriously and don't want to grant lightly, is normally i feel like i would need to know what are the anticipated communications and i know that you've tried to address that as best you can, not knowing where you might land. so that is the difficulty i'm having, is that it's hard to know what would be undue influence or what your involvement may or may not be if we don't know what you anticipate your communications might be or the nature of those communications with the city during this next year and so that's what i'm having some difficulty with and i suppose, you know, related to that, we could ask you questions such as you say in your background that you have -- that you're pursuing or you're looking at real estate or land use type work, is that correct? or did i misread that? >> i didn't say that specifically.

commissioner liu: thank you for coming today. -- any questions or her? how that is done and if it is separated? >> yes, it is separated. the commission has no involvement in improving library contracts. commissioner liu: so someone who wants to have their work published, they would be in a position to influence to contract with that vendor or the publisher? >> not at all. commissioner liu: a ok, thank you. commissioner hur: any other questions for ms. marion? thank you. i would like to take public comment on this matter. >> yes, thank you very much, commissioners, and of course, do not accept money for the friends of the library. this is more complicated as it seems or as it is being represented or kind of masked as a potential author might want to write something, its publisher might be involved. it is also actually a wide spectrum of vendors, not just somebody who might want to publish a book. there are digital vendors, and digitalization projects, all kinds of exhibition projects, copier vendors. there is a wide number of people who do business with t

commissioner liu: i agree. i would be inclined not to of this report section but to address what would be a concern, especially if the waiver process has been working. i am not sure we need to just completely eliminate the entire section. i want to more nearly -- nearly -- narrowly tailor that. commissioner: i agree, and, ms. marion, you are talking about taking out purchaser and publicists, to get to the areas you are concerned with, i think we should make it as nearly -- narrowly tailored as possible. what would that be? >> i would meet with staff again and come back to the commission with new language. commissioner hur: 50. i am sorry. commissioner hanyon? commissioner>> this is the prop. perhaps we should address this as well. so that we can provide further directions to the staff if necessary. my view, based on the memo, that the other regulations governing this process protect against the kind of abuses that we are against, i invite the comments of my fellow commissioners. >> do they apply to commission m

the city and state records show that he is the founder and director and officer of liu and associates, inc. which is htthe owner of the corporation. it is the address for the japan center, specifically the unit that he proposes to insert this cafe. these documents show that he cafe is tied closely to the chain and that his representation in this regard was false. with this connection established, and the other aspects of this proposal fall into place. as this commission will recall, it was scratched out and handwritten then. the substantial similarity in the key elements of the grass- roots associated, particularly the tapioca balls that identify what the establishment is associated with. nothing about this proposal from the start has been on the up and up. the original permits for some of the work that has been done has never been obtained. there has been no communication to speak of with the community. and now we have the documentation and the representations' about the ownership and nature of this project as representative of this commission. as we argued before, you know that the

commissioner liu: i want to go back to subsection d. it does make reference about how there is a different guideline that directs how exhibits are playced on the library. can you educate us on what that process is and whether staff is involved? >> certainly pure good -- certainly. we have two main documents. one is the guidelines and the other is the exhibition policies. it basically speaks to the role of the library in tying in with our mission to provide access as broadly as possible to diverse audiences. the guidelines explain that the fifth paragraph talks about selection criteria for individuals engaged in a wide range of activities. this is evaluated on a set of criteria that is listed, and they are a evaluated by a staff as well as our committee to plan not exhibitions -- plan exhibitions and then devise proposals, and we typically die them in with the same topics, such as in february we just finished black history month. it is done by of staff group, and they review it to make sure we are capturing a wide audience, and it talks

liu is in direct ownership base k is aobe the bent -- of the kobe bento chains. the excerpts from the website were intended to show the permeable relationship with which he is associated. he says he is independent, but we have seen nothing to anything else that indicates he is nothing but trading on the relationship with the chain. that is precisely what the formula retail restrictions are designed to limit, and that should be done here. the signal to the public is that this is through the trademark service images that he claims are totally different. the public will be quite clear as to who this entity is associated with. that is the critical link in establishing the elements of a formula retail. how does the public perceive this? that image is how it is marketed to the public. it is not something that is supposed to be part -- we asked the commission to deny a permit. president miguel: project sponsor, you have two minutes. >> first of all, i need to clarify, kobe bento is owned by me. we have no franchise whatsoever. we have support from the community. the nat

there's a wonderful new book out called "the gardens of democracy" by eric liu and nick hanauer. and they say, 'democracy is like a garden. and the capitalist system is like a garden. you can't just say, 'free market, grow as you like.' you have- it takes some tending.' and even as adam smith knew, only external regulation can prevent externalities, prevent monopolies. you got to have a clear argument about what capitalism is, why it's good, and how to make it better. and, as i see it, the left hasn't done that. >> does your research suggest it's preferable to have a greater moral range? >> when i began this work, i was very much a liberal. and over time, in doing the research for my book and in reading a lot of conservative writing, i've come to believe that conservative intellectuals actually are more in touch with human nature. they have a more accurate view of human nature. we need structure. we need families. we need groups. it's okay to have memberships and rivalries. all that stuff is okay, unless it crosses the threshold into manichaeism. so i think that it would be very

goodwin liu, for example, a brilliant and qualified legal scholar, a nominee twice to the ninth circuit, could not overcome a g.o.p. filibuster, in part payback for a view i believe on the other side of the aisle of the rough handling of miguel he is stra estrada, who'n was defeated during the bush presidency. what i've been frustrated about as a freshman senator is the history of this chamber lying about the chamber seems steadily pile up session after session and the process seems to be weighed down by this burden of history. but next, caitlyn hal halligan s nominated to the d.c. circuit you tell. and her nomination, in my view, also blocked, was based on a grotesque examination of his record. the major talking point against her nomination, if i recall right, was that the d.c. circuit already had more than enough judges. judge halligan would have been the ninth judge on that court. notably all the g.o.p. members who spoke against her had no qualms when this senate confirmed a 10th and 11th judge to sit on that circuit during the bush nomination period. but these sorts of fine points o
