it goes on to speak about public recreation the marina green and others, alcatraz, fort baker and the waterfront. what is not analyzed is the impact on other recreation, because nogs swimmers in the aquatic park, there are many wind surfers out on the bay launching. they come with their kayaks and small row boats or don't belong to the clubs. what i am personally concerned about is what i consider the privatization of the waterfront in key locations during the event. at this moment i am glad that i do not live in the marina. because the marina green will be greatly private sized, not only for the race, but for nine months or more which people being cut off from their front yards and the waterfront beyond. what i am concerned about in the plans recently approved, the contradictions with those plans. that e.i.r. was solely base on the concept of public open space and the use of the open water access and the open water for public recreation. that part of the city is greatly underserved. the waterfront recreation, and that particular project was a major -- this particular e.i.r. and the p

a new operator at the marina green kiosk, and permit fees generated in the marina allocated to loan repayments. we expect that these revenue sources will total at least $50,000 annually for $350,000 over seven years, exceeding the amount, which is the rent credit schedule, exceeding the amount of the maximum rent credit. i would like to note likedbw has occurred -- note that dpw has approved the new schedule, and you have that before you now. the lou is pending approval by the board of supervisors. the lease, the states -- these are the -- changes required are because of the following. the least stipulates that the tenant wishes to perform eligible of improvements to the arena, the tenant can currently receive an offset. process anticipates that the tenant will be responsible for the work but does not described a process for work that is paid for by the tenant but performed by the city. the lease also stipulates that the city only has the obligation to perform dredging. but as the owner of the marina, the city performs a variety of other maintenance repair and improvement projects. so the leas

here is green and green -- marina green. some seating, all public access with the exception of some special hospitality areas. in 2013 that moves to the east, pierce 27, 29. where this will be the location of our cruise ship terminal. the rectangular building to the right along pier 27. we will construct the core and show of that for the event authority during the events and after we will outfit it as the cruise ship terminal and work to complete the northeast plaza. some of the legacy benefits. pierce 30, 32 south of the bridge will be the team base operations where they catamarans will be offloaded and fixed and a rake and cleaned and everything needs to happen. in terms of public engagement and outrage. we have posted a series of meetings in the community with neighborhood groups, community benefit district, anybody who will have less. we have had over 70 meetings over the last couple of months on the impacts to neighborhoods and opportunities for business and try to be out there and as transparent as possible. the draft

marina. this map is the infamous lipofaction map. the green areas are the areas that will have potential lip ofaction. that is a loss of strength of material when it is subjected to vibration. it can occur in sand and silt. those have to be saturated or below the ground water level. you can almost type dismount tie t --tie this map -- this area right here is the same as this one. it is all silt and will liquefy. the marina is in this area here. you can correlate the advancement of the shoreline of san francisco with the potential for liquefaction. >> it is a perfect example. it is all sold and liquefaction. >> treasure island is unique. it was originally developed to be the location of the world fair with the understanding that once it was finished, that would become the location of san francisco international airport. it is 11,000 feet long. in those days, the thought that was more than enough to land any conceivable airplane. they thought it was ideal. they said that we have all kinds of sand out in the bay from the sacramento river. we will

we also have recreations on the marina green, and i think you will have a great experience taking youristory and knowledge and applying it to the public heading that serve so many people in the community. >> understood, and i completely agree. i have that opportunity to meet many of our customers there at the marina and have expressed my desire to make the facility of five-star facility, which of course would treat everyone, every member 100% =. phil has already brought me into a couple of meetings with customers that have concerns, and they have voiced similar concerns that we ensure we treat everyone equal whether they are members of any group or not. this is something i believe heartfelt that we need to make sure we do, and i will make sure we do that. from the private sector, which all of my experience has been with private marinas that are run as businesses, and of course you do naturally treat everyone equal, because every single vessel is very important, and the word of mouth as well. i will work towards that end. commissioner buell: moving along. i would now like to bring up si

there was a race on thursday for charity where teams of 12 round from the marina green to the wine country without rest. 187 or 186 miles, a race that takes hours. the department put a team in. the one. they ran into the night. the they have run like 5 miles and take a break, whenever. all the proceeds are going to the police activities league and by participating, there were eight teams. a portion of everyone else's money goes to the police activity lead. this was done on the officer's time. it was a good thing. we also went to life learning academy on treasure island which was born 12 years ago. with the assistance of doffedr. silber. senator lena was there. just great work and we hosted a chinese delegation on the 16th. as far as what we have been doing, we did have the officer involved shooting where bystanders were hit by the single round fired by one officer as they took on a suspect in possession of a machine pistol loaded with 22 rounds. we had a community meeting. thank you, president mazzucco for being there with president to at the jean parker school. it was well attended and we

will be a lot of work happening, we will have our america's cup world series debut here, and the marina green will be the center of that activity. this is where people will be able to come down and have a look and feel the atmosphere that will be some of the things we will be doing on a much larger scale in 2013 such as lighter entertainment, family hospitality, corporate hospitality and really all of the sort of race activities happening right in front of your eyes just a few meters off shore. part of this concept is, as we said, unprecedented access. this is free for the public in the vast majority of the areas, bringing the america's cup to a whole new level of access for people that have not been able to experience it before, and i can say that our concept and approach have been validated. we've had to give you a events. the most recent of which was plymouth england, which concluded, and the result was brilliant. would people crowding into the event area, into our little amphitheater there, similar to what we have here, but there were over 10,000 people per day during the week and over 20

we were looking over the perfectly flat marina green, at the whole marine area, which is also perfectly flat because it was artificial filled from the 1915 exposition. >> that is correct. it was hydraulics and pumped in from the bay. same principle, they built a dike on the outside it, and then pumped in the sand. and as we all know, in 1989, a lot of damage. lawrence can speak to the concept of soft story problems with the buildings, and the look of viable soil. in perfect concert with each other, you get major damage, sometimes collapsed. that is the subject of -- i guess we did a video of that about a year ago? >> would try to pick up all the hazards. >> this is recreation of the natural landscape? >> yes, but the four points set on a rock. there is a natural rock outcrop their. the natural material was reclaimed land, because it was the original airport for san francisco. it was about 4,000 feet long. in those days, they had small propeller planes and it was adequate. the bridge itself is supported on case sounds that go to rock. -- is supported on casings that go to rock. it is pre

to areas less congested without adding to the congestion and certainly the f-line extension to marina green. i heard it is not feasible before next year, which is probably true, i think starting on that and getting that fast tracked makes a lot of sense. it hasn't been used in years. that would be a great advantage and something perhaps if it is not done in time for the america's cup is a benefit that would be useful for years to come. everybody is concerned about access to the ferry building, fisherman's wharf and other activities. that has to be properly addressed. it is important that their businesses will go on and they are essential to san francisco. finally, listening to the testimony from members of the dolphin and south end rowing club are a testament to the benefits of regular exercise if you listen to some of the people who were there. i am really proud of the athletic clubs that we have in san francisco that a lot of people do not realize how many we have and how active the members are. i am not a swimmer but it is

hundreds of pros and amateurs >>> spectacular kites filled the sky above san francisco's marina greenhis weekend. hundreds of pros and amateurs took the creations airborne at the family day kite festival. the event included contests for kite making and flying. and by the way, some professional kites cost more than $10,000. >>> so it's really good that they had such a beautiful backdrop to show off the very expensive kites. >> i guess -- perfect today as it can get around here for kiter or just about anybody else as we saw mid- and upper 70s at the green today as well as throughout the city. we're going to continue with the clear and warm pattern into if not through most of the week. we see the clear skies prevail. out there tonight. it's going to be a bit balmy by the bay area standards. temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s this evening. as we see a light offshore flow just keeping the fog patchy. at the coasts here. although we do have a spare the air day alert for tomorrow with slightly warmer temperatures and it looks like a warm week ahead with fall officially beginning on fri

the second is a humanitarian assistance and disaster relief static display which is annually at marina green and cannot get possibly any bigger than it was last year. the third is the second annual urban search and rescue mission, which is performed -- a mission exercise performed with the san francisco police apart, the fire department, and navy sailors and marines. the fourth is the parade of ships, which will begin at 10:00 a.m. next saturday. the fifth is the battle of the bands at the golden gate park, which is the bands of the navy, marine corps, and coast guard participate in a battle. the sixth is the italian heritage day parade. members of the fleet week will be attending and participating. the seventh is the san francisco 49ers military salute game on sunday. last but not least is the blue angels, which will begin their practice sessions next thursday afternoon, practice friday afternoon and perform saturday and sunday. it is going to be an amazingly great week for san francisco once again. we look forward to being able to participate with the committee, a committee of all voluntee

sources that we are talking about, that there is no reason to believe they will not be there, marina green will not become less popular in future years. it is going to become more popular. i think the more we upgrade the surfaces -- the services we offer there, the more potential there is for revenue, so with that, i would endorse this and look for a motion. commissioner lee: i will make the motion, but i want to preface it by saying that if what is at risk is the loan, i find that that is too big a risk to take, given the work that we have to do in time for fall for all of the events we have planned. i do feel, though, and i am is sympathetic to the owners who are concerned, as they should be, about the potential revenue projections falling soared and then -- falling short and then having to bear the brunt of any increases to fulfil the financial reality. i am think -- but with that said, i think this is an important project. a lot of work has gone into it. i think we should support it, so i would like to make a motion. >> it has been moved and seconded. all those in favor? opposed? heari

don't go to your staging area out in the marina green. shelter in place. that may be one of your options. choose a room with no windows, as few as possible. pick a room with toilet, water, phone, have it large enough for family members. precut plastic with duct tape. there should be a law. have your disaster kit in that room, have snacks available for kids. turn off the hvac, heating, ventilation air conditioning units because you don't want to be blowing in or sucking in the vapor cloud outside. fireplace, close the dampers and seal off your shelter in place room by using duct tape and terms of the emergency alert system. listen to the radio. that's it. do not try to call the school, try to pick up your children because do you want to leave the area? no, you want to shelter in place. people own pets. do not risk your safety for pets. in summary, it is likely you are at an incident that may be involved with bnice, your safety is the most important. limit your time, get your distance away from that and some type of shielding and listen to the emergency aler

look at this, a team of san francisco police officers just starting, it is a relay race and the marina greens morning, the start of the race -- >>> the san francisco police left about an hour ago. >>> we spoke to a runner from another team. it will raise money for the police activity league and they will run about 200 miles. >> 20 miles, that is nothing! >>> let's head over to look at traffic. >> if you want to go for a road trip, good morning. here is a look at the bay bridge. we have a back up here. that is reported -- not reported, we are looking at that. you could see it as happening. the traffic is busy, driving out to the 80 area and looking good at berkly. it is heavy on the south bound 101, north bound 101 in san francisco. no major problems. getting first word of a new crash in nevada. there is the problem area, thats 37, an injury accident. that is moving from the crash and santa jose and north bound 17, looking like there is a crash there north bound on highway 17. trying to get more details. this just popped up and we will have more in the next ten minutes. steve? >>> the low clo

. >>> these are pictures from the san francisco marina green. san francisco officers left just about an hour ago they are one of he -- they are one of 300 teams running the race. >> each place is -- each race is done for a charitable cause and it's all about children. >> this year they are raising money for the san francisco police utility the league. they will run 200 miles and finish in calistoga. >>> a manhunt continues for 35- year-old aaron bassler. he's suspected of killing jerry melo and land manager mathew coleman last month. we're finding out more about bassler from his father. james bassler says his son is mentally ill, a drug user and has fears about -- fears of people. he also says he might believe he's fighting off aliens from mars. i witnesses saw a man hiding in bushes around evergreen -- evergreen element school yesterday morning -- elementary school yesterday morning. he drove off with her in a green dodge care vau van. police say no one filed a missing person's reports. >>> a 14-year-old boy has been convicted in the death of a

spectacular kites, filling up the air above the marina and the green this weekend. and hundreds of pros and amateurs took the center airborne at the family day kite festival. the event included contact for kite making and flying. by the way, some of these professional kites, they cost more than $10,000. maybe that was one of those who they were looking at. all right a beautiful weekend coming to an end. what does the week ahead look like? we'll pass it over. >>> 10 to 15 degrees warmer down here in the mid to upper 70s down there today. and that will be throughout the city. a few degrees warmer. out across the east bay as they will be hitting the valleys. we'll see the clear skies today as we take a glance. and that's the headlines for the week ahead. it looks like a light on shore flow to continue. and just very patchy fog at the coast. now, they will have an alert day for tomorrow as temperatures are warming up slightly, and then we will continue to warm it on throughout the week with the official beginning of fall on friday. and finally, it's our summer fog seaso

up is not just limited to the arab world and he said that people are rising up against green and us hegemony. marina now you're talking about the arab spring and i do believe that that we do have a piece of sound from her interview on that which is what you're referring to if we have that can we go ahead and hear what ana did and said that fundamental point behind the popular uprising not in the arab world but across the world is against the influence of the extreme capitalist system which is inhuman at its core and it is not just detaining to the arab world it is the world over in europe in great britain in france and spain ingrates the world over and wherever we see today if people are given a permission and a chance to express themselves and express their opinions they will certainly rise up against the influence of the united states is likely. you know laura when i was listening to president obama didn't speak at the u.n. today and sitting down with him yesterday i was thinking actually about the speech that u.s. barack obama president obama gave to the general assembly he kept on talking about

despite these straitened times there are parts of the country where the green shoots of prosperity continue to flourish and as marina portnoy finds out the u.s. policy of incarceration makes for a private prison industry worth billions. america's financial crisis has been something of an unseen monster swallowing up millions of jobs homes and businesses throughout the nation yet amid this ongoing economic armageddon one industry has remained recession proof. private prisons. with more than two point three million people behind bars the united states trumps china russia and the rest of the world in both the number and percentage of people doing time where it falls short though is being capable of containing such a large population it's a political dilemma turned cash cow for dozens of corporations creaming profits off punishment private prisons make money off of incarceration the more people they lock up and the longer they keep them the more money they make so they have the same perverse incentive to expand our justice system and increase our number of people or our number of citizens who are behind bars because it
