mr. oswald this change is not a positive one that your roof deck, your solar array will be impacted. the thing about the regulations and the codes is that is something that could be predicted based on what the city allows, and so to put a solar array where one day there could be a building slightly taller than yours probably deserved consideration. for our sake our purview here is unfortunately not to determine whether mr. oswald's solar array should be able to operate or have use from his roof. our purview is whether or not the ceqa determination was accurate, and based on the information i have seen it was accurate and sufficient and complete so using ceqa in this case is difficult because it does not deal with the issues that matter most to you. we are limited to consideration of that topic, and there's nothing that i have heard today or from planning that indicates to me there is any failure in the ceqa review for this project so for myself i would support item 19 and the denial of the appeal of affirmation of the determination of the exemption. >> so supervisor christensen is th

mr. clerk are there any changes to the agenda? >> i have no changes. >> okay colleagues are there any changes to the meeting minutes of january 7 and january 8? is there a motion to approve those minutes? motioned by supervisor campos. seconded by supervisor farrell. without objection those meeting minutes are approved.

"cashin' in" kicking off right now. >> i'm eric bolling welcome to "cashin' in" our crew this week wayne rogers, jonathan row anything, and juan williams. welcome every year, deflate and denial one week before the big game and all the focus is on ball gaez. i guess it doesn't matter if they break the rules because they're still playing in the big super bowl. i'm not sure the kids have to be saying if you cheat you win and don't get in trouble i guess it's okay. >> its a big game but it also is sending a bad message. i don't watch football, i don't like football i'm latino football means a completely different things to us. i don't have any loyalties whatsoever i have to say this seems sketchy. the coach has a history of

mr. obama's changes would need to be approved by a gop house and senate. with for us. with the gop in control of congress how likely is that the president will get what he wants and lays out during the state of the union address? >> reporter: frankly, not likely at all. and let's talk about why. first, the way he wants to pay for those tax breaks the revenue and how he wants to raise it. first, he wants to raise tax rates on capital gains. currently that's 20%. he wants to raise that to 28%. thatanethema to republicans. he wants to raise revenue in the institutions. it's estimated they could raise $320 billion that way. but there was talk about this on the sunday morning shows today. dan pfeiffer was on nbc's "meet the press." she's a senior adviser to president obama. republican congressman jason chaffitz was on "state of the union." you can see that these two are on very different pages. listen to their comments. >> a simple proposition that now that the economy's in a stronger place than it's been in a long time we need to double down on our efforts to

what does that mean and how will history survey change the game -- how will mr. easterbrook change the game? >> we're talking about engaging with the customer again and getting mcdonald's really improving the way people think about mcdonald's. when they come into the store what they see when they walk in, who they see when i walk,", how they feel about the menu. it is less about the operations in the back of the house, and much more about customer engagement. we can probably all agree that mcdonald's could use a little bit of burnishing of its reputation with customers. >> sara, there are two us a look at it. one, the mcdonald's has a system and cannot be changed. yesterday writing -- all-day breakfast. to mcdonald's not be changed or did don thompson did bad job of changing it? >> i think there's probably a third choice, which is that mcdonald's can be changed. we have seen it before. now going on 12 years ago, the last time mcdonald's has really felt like it was kind of wondering in the desert. but it is a big ship and it can be very hard to steer. i think it is

mr. maguire you mentioned the possible changes in the state law it might be good to have a presentation on the changes and i'll courage you to think broadly on outside the box we were very grateful state legislation that are pro transit and pro pedestrian street safety i think we could make headway. >> thank you any other comments director chang. >> thank you, supervisor kim and thank you sfmta i wanted to recognize all the hard work that went into today's meeting and accident sfmta harvey milk club and task force and the partner agrees 9 months into it the launch vision zero effort it is tremendous to see the deep cultural change and the policy leadership as apartments beyond you the board and mayor into the departments and through our staff i believe we're more aligned than ever as supervisor kim challenged us to deliver open a multiple front in 2015 i think one comment and observation i'll make is that in many of the challenges in the project delivery process are kind of invisibly to people some of the improvements are somewhat hard to grasp their intable but very meaningful i want to c

there's other c fro changes we can address. i do think mr. bush raises a good point if there are things that we haven't addressed that we should be, let's take those up. i don't know that we should holdup all proposed changes because it doesn't include everyone we want to change in c fro. but i open it up to my fellow commissioners. speaker: i'm prepared to move that we -- on decision point 1 that we approved the section 1.114 a 2 and 1.114 c as set forth in the [inaudible]. speaker: mr. keane. speaker: i'll second that. those two specific aspects, the supreme court of the united states has been rather definitive that that's something that we cannot indeed enforce. and we did vote a few months ago exactly the way commissioner reanne is proposing and we voted unanimously that's not in our power. on those i don't have a problem with, and i think it's redundant and i second mr. hurt. speaker: all in favor. speaker: aye. speaker: opposed. hearing none that motion passes. speaker: can you go to the next. speaker: thank you, chair. the second set of

i guess the choking in cuba is raul castro has not changed other will said mr. ibaba has changed because his policy resembles the way fidel castro there is new discussion in this is what we deal with. a year and another issue but i often did come across why do cuban-americans have to play a rule -- a role in policy? is this something that is not appropriate? and i hear that sometimes that is what the government says. but they forget cuban americans are here and have been for more than 50 years. the pay taxes to become presidents of universities and serve in the armed forces and if anybody wants to go with me this afternoon to the vietnam memorial you can put your hand on the name of cuban-americans who died serving under the american flag. i think they have earned a right to like people in the jewish community or black americans or gay americans or people love the financial sector to be a part of the discussion and not to be ignored when something significant to them is being discussed. some they had a significant having been done in secret that would affect the

mr. hyde, it changes me. it changes me. makes me like a monster. >> me, i did like terrible, horrible, horrible thing to my son. because of the drug. >> sanchez has been charged with serious bodily injury to a child. she admits to being high on heroin, and severely beating her 3-year-old son. when he was brought to the hospital, he was covered in bruises, had bite marks on his thigh, and one eye was swollen shut. doctors also discovered he had a lacerated liver, likely caused by blunt force trauma. >> when i am high on heroin, it is like anything triggers me. i'll just go off. i mean, i could be sitting next to someone. if some little thing irritate me, i'll start screaming, i mean, like on attack mode. it's -- it is scary. basically, i chose that drug over my kids. and they probably have a better life without me. >> sanchez's son has recovered, and is living with relatives. if convicted in trial, sanchez could face anywhere from five to 99 years in prison. but she is working with prosecutors on a plea deal. she says the on

we are all entitled to our opinion but we can't change the facts, sir. mr. hoeven: i'd like to thank the senator from west virginia. and i want to thank him not only for his support on this project but for his willingness to work hard to work together to find bipartisan solutions, whether it's this legislation or other legislation. that is what is incumbent upon us to do. and it is not easy but we've got to be willing to engage in the hard work it takes to get this legislation to get these solutions in place for the american people. and so i again want to thank you for your leadership and i look forward to continuing to work with you and our colleagues on both sides of the aisle to come to good solutions. that's what this effort is all about. and i want to turn to the senator from the state of montana. the pipeline project goes right through his state. here's somebody who has dealt with the issue on the house side of congress and who's got the project in his home state. so he's talking on behalf of people where the pipeline is right there. and i'd like to tu

mr. hearst changed these -- [inaudible] you mentioned six-mile drive. that he changed the trees numerous times. you were talking about not cutting anything down. but he had them all over that he didn't like them and moved them all three feet. >> that's right. question about changing the trees. they were going to plant that driveway at one point with italian cyprus, part that have whole idea of renaissance villa garden which they drew on so heavily that charles platt did so much to study and poop pew lar rise as style. but then they decided not to do that. i don't know why. i'm giving you just my surmise. but they never had enough water. they never did. they had voltage drops and when they were using the water to generate their own power. and then once he hooked up to the public power, you can imagine what it took to plant those gardens and supply all of the grounds. i think that they may well have decided to concentrate their plantings at the top of the hill. which gives it much more the feeling of a renaissance city. of course the amazing thing about s

mr. obama. the changese to be approved by a republican-controlled congress before becoming lie. >>> for the first time since cutting more than 50 years ago, a u.s. delegation is in cuba for a three-day visit. they plan discuss how the two countries can normalize relations. president barack obama has ordered diplomatic ties with cuba be restored. >>> food shelves are empty, lines are long and conflicting reports from government officials are making the situation more tense in venezuela. where is all the food in that south american country? >> reporter: a heated argument between a police officer and a shopper outside a store in the venezuelan capital of caracas, a scene increasingly becoming common at supermarkets across the south american country i've been looking for milk and laundry detergent for four days. all i could find was fabric softener. at a caracas supermarket, the line to buy food was several blocks long. people waited for hours under scorching sun for a chance to buy the basics but there are no

impact on the russian economy but don't appear to be changing russia's calculus when it comes to change? mrprime minister, officials say they hope the china and india to cut emissions. i wonder if you feel any pressure to take that kind of action because of the china agreement and can a paris climate summit produce a substantial result without that type of commitment from india? thank you. >> go ahead. >> well, first of all, with respect to ukraine, what i've said consistently is that we have no interest in seeing russia weakened or its economy in shambles. we have a profound interest, as i believe every country does, in promoting a core principle, which is large countries don't bully smaller countries and don't encroach on their integrity and sovereignty and that is at stake in ukraine. what we have done is to consistently isolate russia on this issue and raise the costs that russia confronts. now, when you say that we should take a different approach, julie, i don't know exactly what you're referring to. i've been very clear that it would not be effective for us to engage in a military co

mr. kayfive. the state of florida has learned a lot since 1992 1992 and has changed a lot. you feel that the state is adequately prepared today for a potential storm? you are for to one earlier, a great miami storm. do you feel that we have done enough from your perspective to put -- prepare and mitigate potential damages? >> i will leave it to brian's to what he and the governor have been able to achieve, achieve, but i want to.out one thing that florida did. under governor bush it was the establishment of statewide mandatory building codes learning the lessons of south florida. probably the one thing that is saving taxpayers more money and making sure you still have commercially available insurance is the fact that florida did strengthen its building code and doesn't force it. it was a courageous step given that many people said it would make homes unaffordable. without that building code they would have been uninsurable. as we continue to see it shrink it is a testament to better build homes and this is the lesson that all states should pay attention to. when you have th

mr. president, we had an interesting debate on climate change here in the senate, and there were three separate votes. the first one of which was one that i supported that virtually all the republicans supported. because the white house amendment, number 29, said -- and i'm quoting now -- "climate change is real, it is not a hoax." this is true. climate has always changed. i think there's an effort on the other side, who are trying to promote the big obama program that would cost $479 billion and not accomplish anything in terms of set upping a new bureaucracy -- they're trying to say that we're denying that climate change exists. climate, as i said on the floor yesterday, has all always changed. you can look at the history read the scriptures, it's changed since the very beginning of time. and we know that. it's real. now, the hoax is that somehow there are people so arrogant that are going to go along with the president's program to say yes, if we spend enough money we can -- we, the human beings, can stop climate from changing. that's not going to havment happen. and so i think people do und

mr. allen recalled that he knew then that the course for his life was forever changed. two things he said he knew for sure. one, he was still alive. and two, he was now a prisoner of war. indeed, the course of mr. allen's life had changed forever. he endured many terrible moments as a p.o.w. his family endured much grief, much pain, but his life changed forever because mr. allen would find another calling in life. that of teaching others the importance of service, teaching about the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform, sharing with others the true cost of freedom. he would share these lessons with anyone he would encounter but he also did something very special. he contributed his many personal items from the war letters, to the history museum in largo, florida, dedicated to his p.o.w. story. but moreover he volunteered his time to teach young people at the museum the very lessons of service, to share with visitors his deeply story. mr. speaker, allen served our nation in war but he passed down his legacy to generations to follow. i was one of those individuals who

mr. chairman any attempt to change the status quo but begin with an understanding of the program. this is where i believe your subcommittee's work can play a major role. first let me explain the nature of the problem we face. according to fema federal major disasters have jumped from an average of 65 under president obama. as the average number of disaster declarations has risen upper george h. bush, president clinton and george w. bush. the second slide is the lossed over the last three decades. increasing from an average of $33 billion per year from 1995 to 2004 to doubling to $65 billion in the next decade. the federal government and insurers have bore the overwhelming majority of these losses. since 2011, $137 billion have been spent. $400 a house hold annually with over $60 billion spent on superstorm sandy alone. this low predisaster investment is an important factor. fema studies showed that every dollar invested in mitigation it saves the taxpayers $4 this recovery. these are the most preventable with predisaster mitt dpags and resiliency tools. building koez are the most

mr. butler representatives is specific in that document we were looking at things to change in the project to make the folks happy that's one of the things they were willing to compromise on we didn't get into how or why but they're willing to go without. >> in this case i'm going to make a motion to take dr set back the second floor 2.6 feet. >> 2.5. >> it looks like it's 2.6 here. >> well 2 and a half or 2 and a half 2.5 is the same as 2 and a half 2 feet 6 inches from the drawings that are shown on a-1 point one and they're all the same thing is shown on the drawings that showing you shows the bedroom forward in here anyway, that's what i propose as a motion. >> commissioner johnson. >> i will cancel it you a commissioner richards >> question for mr. butler. >> is indeed the doris merry not an issue doris merry was on the list of things that were of concern one of the issues that i from my client it was a privacy issue would the mass of doris messengers be amenable to be in the plan they wanted to removed from the plan but primarily our southern was with the plummet of the addition. >>

mr. president, scientists are not the only people warning us about the danger of climate change. hear what the department of defense has to say about the impact of climate change on international and national security. what they point out -- and i think what every sensible person understands -- is that when people are unable to grow the food they need because of drought, when flood destroys their homes when people throughout the world are forced to struggle for limited natural resources in order to survive this lays the groundwork for the migrations of people and international conflict. that's what the department of defense tells us. now, one would think given all of the scientific evidence, given the concerns raised by our own department of defense and national security experts all over the world one would think that given the fact that the most recent decade, last ten years, was the nation's warmest on record, one would think that when the national climate assessment warns us that global warming could could exceed ten degrees farenheit by the end of the century. can you imagine
