i have reservations i have reservations about that logic i think if the commission were to conclude that the permit was improperly issued that's was one thing but to conclude that the permit that the erred because of the default on the base it is a question - >> i don't know if i can make my motion i can't find of the error. >> i can make the opposite motion and take that vote is that acceptable the way to go i move to deny the appeal and uphold the zoning administrator on the basis it was in discretionary error. >> i'll end it the someway. >> so, now we have a motion on the floor if the wanting to deny this appeal and uphold the zoning administrator, what say you? order on the basis in error or basis of discretion correct. >> yep. >> on that motion to uphold the zoning administrator, what say you? order commissioner fung is absent commissioner vice president honda commissioner wilson no commissioner swig. >> no. >> thank you. the vote is 2 to vote the motion fails so absent another motion the zoning administrator, what say you? order would be upheld by default do we have another motion.

they absorbed the duty and fin they moved the friendly benefits cost from the general fund to the logical carried forward-looking back we understand it never materialize as you can see on table on slide 2 through the clerking services will lower the actual costs of the services are much higher than 20 thousand and supervisor breed you've identified a structural issue that needs correcting it currently charges more staff time to lafco than is utilized or needed so since lafco general fund carried forward will be decompleted we'll recommend did half time clerk will be moved back to the general fund. >> supervisor breed. >> can you explain that because i think that i'm a little bit confused by the statement. >> the statement that it is paying for more than it is using. >> thank you, madam president the halftime salary the entire salary oozed used to be paid for by the general fund when the cca advisors fund lafco for clerking services ramp containing new staff we absorbed those staff and rather than continuing to have ism of them pick up the lafco and board allowed them to pay for the other

, it's exactly the same logic under the motor vehicle program it's exactly the same logic under the new source performance standards program, that if congress intended to mandate the epa cut so deeply against the grain and make such a radically different approach with respect to this one category of sources, we would expect to see very clear legislative language to that effect. you would expect to see a direction to epa in 7412 to study cost before making this judgment. >> let me ask a question about cost. there are economic costs. there are other costs. is it the agency's position that no cost can be taken into account -- for example, it may find that a particular material has an effect on health, but it may find that eliminating it will have other effects that are even more deleterious to health. could that cost be taken into account? >> if i may answer mr. chief justice, i think that cost would be taken into account in the oira regulatory impact analysis. >> not for the listing. >> not for the listing. i think that's right. thank you. >> thank you, general. >> mr. smith? >> mr. chief

i think that's logical. take each crime and put it into whatever context this justice system can provide. but isn't it true that because of america's racial history, beginning with the abuse of blacks in the slave trade that a lot of african-americans believe the deck is stacked against them and things like this just reinforce that belief. >> well, that is correct. a lot of african-americans do believe that the deck is stacked against them we, of course h jim crow laws. we had all of these horrible things. >> horrible things that have occurred. however, here is what is happening. with all of these incidences, what we are hearing is never again. what we're seeing is inflamed racial tension. and then we're not seeing any action that occurs as a result of that. you have the people, the so-called civil rights leaders, such as sharpton and others who are rushing to the scene in a blaze of glory as it were and at the end of the day what happens? absolutely nothing happens. >> well you can't be perfect system. ther

therefore, that value drove the logic of the deal.athan: the energy sector very much in the headlines this morning, not just because of m&a , but because of the commodities themselves. if iran nuclear talks go well crude could fall by another $15 a barrel. energy administration says iran has 30 million barrels of crude ready to go. let's get some insight on that figure. we are joined by philip craddock of bloomberg intelligence. a $15 premium? really? >> iran hasn't been able to export as much oil as it wanted to. jonathan: when you look at refiners in europe, more good news for them? >> for them, it is good news. iran has been a supplier of crude oil for the military and the region. southern europe especially, but also other regions in europe. they have difficulty sourcing i -- uranium during sanctions. jonathan: let's forget iran for a moment and talk the u.s. we talked about the u.s. and speculated that they may allow full export of oil. that would be terrific news for european refiners. is it likely? philipp: for the u.s., i think

so that means -- he just lets the logic work., that the mortality bill has to get so long. has the that's the understanding he comes to but with the ends in sight. i think he disspared before but with the ends in sight he found this is the reason he had to go on so long, the north is complicit in slavery as much as the south. >> how so? >> the whole experiment in american democracy j which is the thing he thinks this is most precious thing is contaminated with slavery. they didn't deal with it in the constitution. >> let me ask you all and ask you to submit your questions on those cards. the min con memorial staggers me. i know this is the national cathedral but the second is lincoln memorial. mary ann der son went there-anderson bentz therebentz -- went there when they wouldn't let her sing at constitutional hall. it's interesting how that temple- -- >> richard nixon went there. >> to meet and talk sports with demonstrator demonstrators. let's be serious. sure i think this city is not about a penny or five dollar bill, it's wher

clerk of the board has a division within the board of supervisors the hours clerk of the board the logical has it's on separate index soda code those are not coming into our office we charge those expenditures separately and it is throughout the year to cover the costs. >> basically move the expenditures from the side to lafco kinder forward because the clerks funds are supporting the sore the assistant clerk we moved those expenditures quarterly. >> from the clerk to the lafco carried forward. >> yes. >> if i may i first time to say the clerk work is good but the difference i'm wondering i guess to put to blueprintly are we anticipating to get that back? >> i think that is a lafco question the answer is no when we bring the budget every year this predates mr. frooedz time although he was hired in 2009 we authorized two positions to lafco we'll give back to the general fund our entire budget we don't get that back that's a conscious decision we made during we had a surplus figuring out what our budget needs were and glen eagle golf course back to the general fund that came from the general

and it seems like logic, very logical, but in 2007 people were talking about bringing that down.and so, you know dodd-frank is coming, and there's a lot more rules on financial regulation. ultimately, at the end of the day you simply need more capital buffer. and what does that mean? when a bank puts more capital reserves, it means that that when you loan out money not as profitable for a bank, because the bank's using some of its own money. so it's -- with wall street it's tough right now. there's a public knowledge. "wall street journal" had a report out saying compensation is down, a lot of these banks are getting hit by fines. so it's there's been an exodus of talent. and so it's not exactly this free wheeling culture of the 980s. michael lewis writes about it, 990s. there's really been a cultural shift on wall street that's been happening. if you want further reform, it's going to have to be around capital standards. >> now you beyond -- tell me a little bit, connect for us jazz and what you've learned as a great, he's an amazing jazz musician. i personally encountered kabir

there's a logic operating between the policies of the past three years and the consequences. state media is under the control of a single ideological regime and cutbacks, which limit the reach and relevance while making news for a duopoly or ollygalloply >>> a state-owned broadcaster a chateau of itself. protesters on the march. a new party like syriza was born of the protest movement and could come to power. and the gag law making the protests more difficult to organise and for journalists to cover. there's a lot of news coming out of spain. the question is how will the story be reported in spain >>> on the down low our viewers on the gag law and the way the story is covered in spain. >> they have no approval from the government, it is imposing restrictions to the freedom of expression and information. however, it's not only going to legislate on the stakes but on the bay people cover the events without making a description between the participant and others doing their jobs. >> tomorrow. >> a lot of these mining sites are restricted. >> a silent killer. >> got a lot of arse

cory: do you think the justice department -- there is new logic. old logic was as long as there is not overlap, there would not be a monopoly. this is a new era. digital boundaries are different. harold, is there something new out of the justice department? harold: well, if there is a new logic, we would like to see a written decision from the justice department about what it is. you are right. in the past, if there were not overlapping markets, it would be hard to tell a story about merging two companies leading to some increased market power. consumers in san francisco will have no greater or lesser choice of video providers if this had gone through or not. cory: matt, the statistics about the merger and what the combined company would have controlled, 57% of u.s. broadband. 29% of residential video. i wonder when you look at those numbers, if you think there is a new notion of boundary or what kind of control a company would have even if it was not about choice. maybe choice further up the pipe. matt: exactly. people who saw no harm were not loo

that's how the epa saw the two different words and it is a perfectly logical way for them to proceed. have guessed? i mean that seems such an artificial division of necessary and appropriate. want to describe it again? i really didn't understand it. necessary means what? >> the claim -- everybody can see necessary means that there would still be health problems after the acid rain program kicks in. >> appropriate means? >> appropriate was intended to meet the claim made by the industry that these chemicals already are sufficiently harm-free that we don't need to regulate here. >> why isn't that part of the first one? >> it could have gone that way, your honor. that's the way the government read them. >> that's the only way to read them. >> perhaps so. i think the key thing is the issues they were directed to study, the issue us that would control the listing decision were the health effects of the pollutants that come out of these power plants. they then deferred the issue of considering the cost to the second stage just as occurs with every single other source of the same 189 hazardo

if we have an agreement that agreement must be based on this logic, very clear logic, that you cannot have two opposing tracks running at the same time. you either have -- >> rose: building up of sanctions or what do you mean? what are the two opposing tracks? >> one is to have an agreement the other one is to impose pressure. imposition of pressure has its counterparts. the counterpart to imposition of pressure will be around building more centrifuges. >> rose: is there a way around this? for example, someone suggested to me today that if the agreement is signed, there will be some date certain in the future, you know, at which time the two parties will have had an opportunity to see how they handle this and at that time perhaps they could get to that and had a chance to examine inspections and see if they were as everybody hoped they would be on the side of the p5 plus 1 and you cooperate with that, that the aiea had an opportunity to do the kinds of things that they have insisted they be able to do and by november 15 or some date in the future certain you would have a chance to eva

adam two moral logic is not economic logic. it's tin verse. you have to give up what you want to get what you want, you have to loose yourself to find yourself, successful can lead to the greatest failure which is pride, failure can lead to the greatest success which is hue multiand learning. so the inverse of surrendering to find yourself is the adam two logic. you have to learn that. we're not naturally good if that way. you have to learn that about being around people who are and copying them. >> rose: that's the reason you list the people and we get that. someone said the two most important days in your life are the day you're born and the day you find out why. >> yeah. i have a:september of y call within a call in reference to a great woman, frances perkins. she was under frank lynn roosevelt, first woman in the cap net. she was as activist, good work for labor rights. she witness as factory fire and sees people hurling themselves instead of blaming. she sees a man helping a woman over and dropping her into space. a second, a third, a fou

i mean this logic has no leg to stand on.is is not realistic and this is against our interests as government is to kill the people. what do we get? charlie: there are weapons of war that have been used that most people look down on with great -- one is chlorine gas. they believe that has been used here. they said there is evidence of that and they would like to have the right to inspect to see where it's coming from. as you know, barrel bombs have been used. and they come from helicopters. and the only people who have helicopters is the syrian army. president assad: it's very important. this is part of the malicious propaganda against syria. first of all, the chlorine gas is not military gas. you can buy it anywhere. charlie: but it can be weaponized -- president assad: no, because it's not very effective it's not used as military gas. that's very self-evident. traditional arms is more important than chlorine. and if it was very effective the terrorists would have used this on a larger scale. because it's not effective, it's

a man is claiming men are better hard wired for chess because it requires logical thinking. is not better than the other we just have different skills. it would be wonderful to see more girls playing chess and at a higher level. but rather than fretting about inequality he should just accept it as fact. yes, that is a quote. but the strongest female chess player in history hitting back hard saying quote it is not a matter of gender. it is matter of being smart. i grew up in a male-dominated sport but my parents raised me to believe my sisters and i could have the same success as men if given the same opportunity. >> he is a jerk. what a horrible and stupid thing to see speaking of intelligence. the lack of women in the sport don't show they are not as good. >> i believe there is truth to what he said. i think we are hard wired differently. but i don't think one is worse and one makes you a better chess player. >> do you agree men are more logical? >> i am not saying that at all. >> he is staying quite. >> wait harris is riled up he said his wife is better at emotional intell
