i am opposed to the masonic. we would appreciate your design funds to masonic improvement project since you have opportunity to fund projects that no one objects to. we hope you will choose to fund those instead. we feel the project is ill timed and not properly configured. we also feel the plans plaque clarity and may not be the plans reviewed and approved by the traffic commission. we'll concerned about reducing traffic lanes, which will not satisfy the needs of the bicycle community. we feel there are better solutions for bicycle paths on slower side streets that are practically devoid of traffic. used side streets for bike lanes instead of arterials will save money and cause less disruption. slow moving and idling vehicles use more gas and emit more fumes than moving vehicles. if the purpose of improving /phags has is to reduce carbon emissions and putting bicycle lanes on busy roads and slowing down traffic is not the best way to achieve that goal. if that is not enough to convince you, the impending bart st

next speaker please. >> hello, my name is linda, i live on masonic avenue. i spoke last week and listened today and last woke to all the reasons why a lot of people don't think this is a good idea. i'm in agreement with them. i think the loss of parking is a huge mistake, but there's one thick i haven't heard mentioned yet. the [inaudible] being proposed raised bicycle lane -- i've done a considerable am of research on the /pwer internet and i urge you all to do research yourself to see if you can find one any place on the planet that replicates what wants to be put in here. there aren't any. there are raised bike lanes but they don't go past driveways. you'll be creating little lakes at the base at everyone's driveway that will fill up with water, debris and making it slippery and dangerous. it's bad enough as it is now, but having to slow down to negotiate this little lake at the base of your driveway will make it very hard to get out into traffic and back in and i don't think this is going to be a safe solution for the cyclists either. there's been report

i'm anthony mason. the cleveland man who raped and d andred three women in his home for a decade knows where he will spend the rest of his life. ariel castro was in court today to accept a plea deal. he will face life in prison without the possibility of parole, plus 1,000 years. that spares him the death penalty. and we've learned one of his victims is set to testify at his stntencing next week. serrell brown was in the courtroom. >> you have had a chance to read t?is document? >> reporter: the judge asked ariel castro if he understood ce consequences of pleading nallty to 937 criminal counts. >> so finally, sir, again, do you understand, mr. castro, that upon entering this plea you will never be released from prison? was go understand that and i much theas going to get pretty much the book thrown at me. >> reporter: the former bus driver did not speak about his three victims, amanda berry, gina dejesus, and michelle knight. gina d instead, castro tried to explain ca was a victim of his own demons. oll

i work at [inaudible] so i'm very [inaudible] talk about this masonic area and i commend the astute san francisco citizens for coming here and speaking out 'cause this is what happens. we have represents who have no sense of planning, no sense of congestion, no sense of traffic management and remote control they want to back such ideas. now, the bicycle coalition has a political action committee, a pack. it funds a lot of ya'll. and ya'll get the money -- not all of ya'll -- when ya'll get the money... >> thank you very much. >> that is my first bet i think. >> that was your second bell. >> i hope you heard me loud and /khroer. clear. >> thank you. any other member of the public who would like to comment? seeing none, public comment closed. this item is live befores. commissioner breed. >> thank you. i have received a lot of emails from constituents who have a real problem with this project. it's really unfortunate gnat because this project was approved last year and from my understanding there was a lot of outreach. i actually received emails and information about the planning process

i have to go out on masonic -- very dangerous. a lot of traffic. i think for the bicycles to be on masoni /kr*rbg is a very bad idea. i think baker street or one of the other streets -- i'm not a bicyclist, i walk, i take [inaudible] and i drive and i think other considerations should come into play here and i think it's a really good idea if you come to masonc and see the kind

i know we've been focusing on masonic but trans/pwa*eu and second street and a number of other projects are very important. i will say that when we get lists of projects that come through the authority we don't understand district eight as receiving zero dollars of investment despite the fact that a majority of the district is pry torety development area. i'm just under a lot of reasons for why projects and not others pick it on to the obag list, but i think that geographic equity is always something that should be important to all of us. i'm very supportive of projects around the city. we have some significant needs in this district eight, particularly upper market which is a complete and utter mess. it is unsafe for pedestrians, unsafe for cyclists, bad for muni, has many problems and requires a lot of attention and i would like the ta to focus a lot more or the upper market and how can work with the mta to address this troubled stretch of market street, which was left out of the better market street plan, and needs a lot of attention. putting that aside, this is an important list of

. >> biddy mason was a remarkable woman. she was born in louisiana, mississippi and the early 1800's. she was a slave and she walks 2000 miles behind her master's wagon to get to california. her master, whose name was white, was converted to mormonism through missionaries traveling through mississippi and louisiana. he, his children and his wife and the slaves, i think there were nine of them at that time, all traveled to salt lake city, what would be salt lake city today, in 1847. and became quite active in the mormon faith there and biddy mason felt very uncomfortable they are because mormonism at least at that time thought blacks were evil and they were painted evil because they were black. they were there for several years and then they went to san bernardino where they had a mission in the community or something and they were there for quite some time. and then she became acquainted with other blacks who were free and the constitution, if you would come you're on your own, in other words if nobody claimed you you could

today, andrew mason unveiled an album. it's called hardly working which to me sounds down right autobiographical. i like that irony. that switch told you it was time to buy! which leads me to zynga. last time we learned that the former head of microsoft's entertainment division is taking over the troubled gaming company from mark pincus, who couldn't lead. hey, by the way, how clued was he in? i did trounce him a couple of times at words with friends, although in a degree of candor, my daughter was actually running the game. she's a facile anonymous, she was at the controls there. anyway, that's how i won. when we dissected it on "squawk on the street" this morning, my colleague gave it favor. asked if it was too early to buy zynga. see, that's been a long-running joke with me. too early to buy zynga. well i said no, it was time. i thought he'd fall out of his chair, but the new ceo is at the top of the game. microsoft's entertainment division is a huge success and the only reason you don't know that is that because the re

veronique de rugy from george mason university, your thoughts?et me grant the idea that the government should be helping in a slump. we're not in a slump. we have been out of the recession for four years. the economy is growing. theories,to all the in good times, the government should be holding back. the problem is all the people who were advocates of more spending during recessions are never calling for the government to spend less during the times. this is particularly true at the state level. during bad times, they do what you want. they will cut spending to some extent and reduce the deficit. when revenue starts rolling back in, they go back up with spending went crazy. at the federal level, it only goes one way. it is up, good times and bad times. they spend more and more. even if i were to grant a five the government should be spending money in the short run when we are in recession, the problem is the incentives behind government intervention, the incentives of people work in congress and the administration is always to spend more. that i
