if he took it and your friend was not picked, and of story. >> for maxwell bought determination to delay the voting, one thing she wanted to do was to make sure she could find a consensus candidate. >> the next week in december, the board met again for the last in the meeting of the board. still without a mayor selected or even nominations made. time was running out on the current board, but december 14 seemed like a rerun of december 7, with supervisor maxwell again making a motion to continue to the last board meeting in early january. >> colleagues, i ask that we continue this item. i think we have three weeks to have somebody floating out there for that amount of time is not going to be to our best interest. it will give us an opportunity to really think about, in the next few weeks, what is ahead of us. it allows the board to step back and take a breath and wait this heavy decision that we were just about ready to make. >> there was no one lined up. that was one of the most fascinating and frustrating things about the process. no one knew what was going to happen. everyone was askin

and it specifically stated the maxwell obtained these files a long time ago and he was nervous to share that information until he heard about schwartz's efforts to make i could have information available to everyone so he went on to say that he actually obtained those documents through boring means but that he still sides were sure it's an argument of open access stories currently working to verify those uploaded documents did in fact come from their service they have already come out and said that maxwell's comments on how we obtain that information don't really match up with how jesus or operates but this all just plays into the bigger issue should academic or educational information really come with a price time we're not talking about sharing or allowing access to music or media we're talking about written educational information this really makes sense for somebody go to jail for decades for downloading those academic articles i have very serious doubt of the potential punishment that towards faces fits the crime i was sure seems to me to be another example of the government making

these are the challenges supervisor maxwell imposed. i am not concerned that seventh straight -- street would create a bad precedent. i'm encouraged by comments made by mr. -- seventh street is single loaded. if you have an elevated freeway, there is no such thing as having an active street on the other side to respond to. the weaving in and out of tracking the corner was -- [unintelligible] having 100 feet of a garage. i think for me that is a responsible and good idea. this is rarely a bikeway. 100 feet of a garage with people honking on seventh on the bike, there will not see it. it is like a green screen. that is how you perceive the nahyan active use. the building does some amazing things. i am looking at responsible models and i will pause for identification, this is one of them. the height is not an exception. the heights was premeditated in how we looked out what was necessary to rezone the eastern neighborhood. with -- with a responsible attitude toward protecting pdr. this is as close as we could get. i appreciate the summary

about raising it and changing its, and we worked very hard with the supervisor's staff, supervisor maxwell's staff, and at the end of the day, we came up with amendments that we as project developers felt we could live with and that the supervisor brought to the full board. again, i cannot speak for the community on that. i think that kind of coverage that base. thank you very much. supervisor cohen: all right. thank you very much. >> supervisors, i am an architect. i wanted to elaborate on a couple of your questions. as mike said, the project has been in the work for six years. it is a gateway site. it preceded lennar. reconciles the a lot of the various individual planning efforts that have gone on. you look at the street grids, the connections to transportation, i know you are very concerned about that, but if you look at the connections, it is a real opportunity. also, i think in the open space, it really connects to a state park, which is really lost element in that area. i think there will be enough residents, and i think it will offer a couple of things that are unique. mike touched o

this court dealt with that question in maxwell.the panel said that child pornography, it was not commercial. it was impossible to think of anything farther away from the commercial. then this court said where congress meant regulates activity, whether economic or not. so long as the ability do so undermines our ability to effectively -- >> that is the majority opinion. >> it is. >> let's go back to the question about making an individual purchase of anything. field for the energy example. consumption is a national problem. it has life affects as well as does health care. everybody consumes energy on some level. by then, couldn't you require the purchase of certain types of cars or solar panels? once we go down this road, because there is a a health care problem, we are going to require you to purchase health insurance. >> absolutely not. >> and none of those car, theances, the ca food, you have a right to go in there. if you walk campanulas, you cannot say to give it to me. healthcare is different. it is why his question was correc

we did do a study with sophie maxwell, and it is on the internet. mr. wigton is here. he is the author of it. we still do not seem to get the will to do that kind of thing, even with the better streets plan. for these boxes, what i am worried about is are they going to be shared with other utilities, or will the other utilities want to do the same thing, so we are going to get some more? when they come in, are they going to turn around and replace what is already there and remove the old ones? or will they just be in addition to the old stuff? my neighborhood looks like a third world country. i think the design -- they are asking for state of the art service, but with a third world installation. we have to be aware this business of making them look good and looking for examples in the city -- a lot of times what we are going to do is copy. that is what we have to -- is copy mistakes. that is what we have to be careful about. we are reviewing regulations for excavation. i think we ought to take a look at what we are providing, and are we state of the art. supervisor wei

this realignment will come to not unless we understand, as the commercial said, the only way that maxwell house coffee can be good to the last drop is that you don't just put the coffee in the cup and the cream in there. you got to have a stirer to stir it up. once you stir it up, you can drink it and say it's good to the last drop. and my question is, who is going to stir up all of this plan? if we don't have somebody who's the czar, who's going to hold all of these departments accountable, we can go over all the plans, talk about all the good things we have in mind, but it will come to not unless we're held accountable to somebody stirring it up. and also the providers for re-entry programs ought to be fairly distributed in the community. there are some major big box agencies that have been getting these contracts. but the culturally sensitive programs get peanuts or the leftovers. we ought to spread it around, the money and resources. it's just like cow manure. it does nothing to the ground unless you spread it around. thank you very much. low gordon, terry anders, karl, please. pastor

it evolved further with sophie maxwell's insistence on the pdr space. on the treatment of seventh street nearly as a freeway which driving it, it seems to be at times. we have to take a look at 16th street and go back to the original planning of mission bay. 16th was to be the connector from the mission district through potrero hill into mission bay. this should not be an enclave but should be connected as much as possible to the rest of the city in that sense. as to the street frontage, on hubble, you have small pdr, and retail along daggett and you have retail pretty much around the flatiron building. those not familiar with that term, that refers to buildings basically built on tribal lots. -- trying goal -- triangle lots. when you get into trying dealer lots, that is the normal term that is used. -- triangular lots, that is the normal term that is used. i commend the architect for putting in electric charging stations. i have been involved in that for a few years. we have been encouraging

major credit rating agencies to threaten downgrading america's triple a status but investment alice maxwell tells r.t. that washington's addiction to dad is clouding both sides appetite for real solution. america's been running on debt for years this is a disaster in the making and i would liken this situation here to a cancerous tumor inside a body there's no better time to cut the cancerous tumor out quickly as you possibly care that the u.s. government has been running on debt for many many years and we've been raising the budget the total debt ceiling for many many years as a budget issue and we've successfully deals struck it has become the political nor in the united states that whatever party is in the white house. has to ask to raise the debt ceiling it's always been raised in the past the party that's not in the white house that's out of power screams and yells for three or four days at most usually about how the government spending too much and should live within its means the debt ceiling demand gets raised and it's business as usual that's been the case for thirty years so we ha
