allbee: it's not just about the sustainability of the assets, it's about the sustainability of our water resources. parts of this country that thought of themselves as water rich 20, 30 years ago, now are discovering that they really are not water rich, they have source supply issues, they have serious questions about how they're going to accommodate additional growth in their communities. melosi: if we can find alternatives, we can preserve a water supply. conservation of water is a way of generating more water. allbee: we think that a household can actually reduce its water usage by about 30%. and that's hugely important in terms of the amount of infrastructure that community's going to require. narrator: las vegas is one of the fast-growing areas in the country. it's a relatively new city under constant construction. but because it's in the arid mojave desert, the challenge of las vegas is supply. woman: all the growth and everything that's occurred in southern nevada has been with colorado river water. without it, the west as you know it today couldn't exist. narrator: to sustain the

, a sustained wind up to -- a gust to 68 miles per hour and a sustained wind at 48 miles per hour. so sustained means that it's just ongoing. so, guys, we are looking at the winds picking up near the center of the storm system. jfk with a wind gust of 58 miles per hour. the storm is still far away. and long island and westhampton, 38-mile-per-hour wind, flashflood warnings across the entire state of delaware, jersey. so this is going to be an ongoing event through the overnight hours. >> i was amazed to read about the wing span of the storm, 500 miles wide. if you are experiencing some of these events going on where they live and are wondering how long it's going to last, what would you tell them? >> i have a track to tell you just that. so we are looking at, basically, the storm system being an ongoing event because it's such a big storm tdoesn't matter if the center doesn't go over your area. over 500 miles wide. so the storm will be impacting areas very far inland. as far as the times on the storm system, new york city landfall, i anticipate it after 8:00 a.m. eastern time, basi

they have not been able to sustain themselves. from my work experience in working for the city come in the mayor's office and in the nonprofit, i had a good sense of what the challenges were. as i looked on the horizon, i see more challenges coming. i thought i had a set of experiences and a passion and desire to serve. it started at 1 point when i was 8 years old. i took a tour here with my third grade class of city hall. coming into the rotunda, seeing the staircase, it is very mesmerizing, very memorable, and powerful. it was at that moment i decided i wanted to work here in this building. i had a short conversation with diane feinstein, the mayor then, and she spoke to the entire class. she spoke for a couple minutes. she planted the seed of public service, and to give of yourself selflessly, the giving of your time and talent. it was something my parents instilled in me early on. serving district 10 is an extension of who i am and a general desire to help improve the quality of life for people in san francisco. >> where do yo

this will be one of the most sustainable buildings anywhere around. it is going to generate power and also used 55% less power than and regular building. ed will send off more non- potable water for more uses in the area. it will be a wonderful thing to live around and be involved in. we are celebrating this topping off. we have done some research. topping off ceremonies started back in roman times. people would have a ceremony when they finished building the roof of a house. as they finished, it was traditional to put an evergreen tree on the final game, signaling the finish of the infrastructure and construction. that is what we're doing today. you will notice of a lot of signatures on a banner that was attached to them being, because we have a lot of excited employees who could not be here today. hopefully, all of you have a chance to sign that beam and see that evergreen tree that symbolizes the sustainability of our building and the good fortune of having completed the building. the first person i want to introduce is a person who has been involv

that's the maximum sustained winds. might be generous, the hurricane hunter said as they just flew into this storm. they can still fly into it as long as it's over water. after it goes across land, too dangerous. they don't do it anymore. there's some weakening taking place. dry air has been entraining into this storm. so we will likely see little change before landfall in the carolinas. but some continued weakening will be possible into the northeast. so we can hope for maybe a tropical storm in the northeast. but right now we still need to be prepared at least for a category 1. we're going to start to feel the impact across the in this case by this evening say for places like virginia peach and washington, d.c. for the tropical storm force winds and into the northeast late tonight and for tomorrow. so we still have a long way to go, t.j., with this storm system. we're not talking until monday. >> help me with something. people are saying it's a category 1. just going to be a little rain. maybe some flooding. category

improving our financial capacity or financial sustainability. improving our environmental stewardship. improving our administrative efficiencies. with respect to improving the quality of our parks, parks cores maintained a level of 91%. i am pleased to report that are lowest performing areas -- scores increased by 6% 3 overall, been in the 90% range, especially given our staffing shortage, is a reflection of how hard our staff are working to keep our park clean with limited resources and how successful some of our partnerships have been treat our apprenticeship program has been very successful. our volunteer program has been very successful. some of our other neighborhood programs are working. the structural maintenance yard completed 13,851 maintenance work orders last year. this is an increase of 639 from last year. we fixed everything from graffiti, broken water fountains, leaking roofs, swimming pools, irrigation lines, and broken toilets. our 311 closeout rate remains at 90%. we are closing out 90% of all calls or concerns that come in. we

as we said irene is bearlyy a hurricane with sustained winds of 75 miles per hour. can people afford to let theirr guard down? how dangerous is ireinn --irene at this point? >> guest: we have had reports of fatalities in certain states. caused by trafficc accidents or trees coming down and hitting houses and there is dangerous. hurricane-force winds of 70 miles per hour is bad. you don't want to drive in it. don't let your guard down. for most people in the immediate path of the store stay inside and stay safe until it passes the area. >> chris: talk about the area that irene is headed. what is yourr biggest worry as the hits new york and heads up new england? >> i think for new york and long island it is how much storm surge we get. they are running out of the high tide that. is a concern of how much water we get. wind itself, power out anals and that number goes up and heavy rainfalll and flash flooding that can occur. if you are in a safe place, staying inside is the best thing. we'll see how much flooding we get as irene moves up the coast. >> chris: we are talk

there are concepts for sustainable resource districts. ahoy the total for all of these improvements and infrastructure is north of $500 million. on the second last slide, you can see what the plan proposes in terms of helping to fund these improvements and helping to fund the transit center. we are finishing the necessary nexus' studies -- nexus studies about how to fund the spaces. all ultimately, the fee levels will differ from what is in the plan. we have studies to ultimately set the fees. these are illustrated, but we think these can be achieved and are sustainable by the economics of the building. we think we can raise this. there is a potential major source of funding, particularly to help pay for the transit center. the potential amounts are critique large, anywhere from $250 to $300 that could be raised to pay for other improvements. this is essentially a property- tax that new development would pay overtime that could be bonded to pay for major public infrastructure. there is something we are not sure whether we will be able to

there are more than 3000 of these profitable, self- sustaining centres across the country. >>akbar: this centre is run by an entrepreneur, owned and run by an entrepreneur. but there are some different kinds of models. those are run by ngos, civil society, even the government is now also owning some. >>reporter: for a modest fee, rural people can get digital photos taken and photocopies made, helping them to apply for government services and subsidies without having to journey into the towns. >>and thanks to a partnership with the international rice research institute, they are also boostingfarmers' productivity. >>akbar: when a farmer is having a problem, like he needs any information on input like seed, or fertilizer of pesticide he goes to this centre now. >>reporter: computers require a steady power supply, and that's far from a given in bangladesh where only about 40 per cent of people have access to electricity. >>one man has found an ingenious solution. with seed funding from the world bank and bangladesh government, asuuzzaman sheikh established the country's first

cape hatterras a category one strength sustained wind at 74 miles per hour. then you go a little bit inland, we're seeing sustained winds at tropical storm force strengths. by all accounts this storm system is starting to make its mark on the carolina coastline. we have a hurricane warning not only for north carolina but for those of you along the delmarva peninsula right up boo new jersey and up into long island also for the cape of massachusetts. this is a wide reaching storm system that is not only going to bring wind impacts to everyone along the coastline, we're talking about a widespread inland rainfall that could be in upwards of eight inches in some cases that's where our main flooding threat continues to exist. as we take a look at our forecast track, as we continue throughout the next couple of hours it's about north carolina and virginia with the peak of this happening through 6:00 p.m. today. as the storm track moves up saturday night tonight, right near the delmarva peninsula, maryland, delaware, new jersey and that peak this storm will be about

it's primarily environmental sustainability. the overarching theme which i think is particularly pertinent here in the bay area is regional governance and cooperation where we try to emphasize move each of our cities that they really need to figure out in their broader economic region, not just within their city limits. so how do you coordinate with the communities around you to advance some of these policy issues, whether it's transportation, environmental improvements, economic development, education systems, workforce training, etc. these are some of the issues that we really want to publicize the best practices so that practitioners such as ourselves can bring these ideas back home and really move an issue forward. i think here in the bay area, bringing this group of four european experts here has really been an interesting exercise for me, not knowing the city of oakland very much at all, having been to san francisco a few times, but it really is -- i do think that the communities here are poised to really be sort of going

right now, the storm, a category 2 with 100 mile-an-hour sustained winds is heading for the north carolina coast. our coverage starts with john in north carolina. we probably don't need to ask you to set the scene for us. what does it feel like there? >> reporter: we are getting the winds as you see right now gusting and picking up a little bit. the rain has been constant. periodically heavy and then it lightens up a little bit. the past couple of hours or so here on atlantic beach, a mandatory evacuation, obviously, this is an island. the atlantic ocean is that way. that's actually south the way this beach faces. irene is coming straight up from the south. it's very likely a very good possibility that we could be the first place that sees the landfall here of the center of circulation of irene. at least very close to the center. to the north of me on the left side is bold sound. as the storm comes by, a good possibility we could see storm surge first from the atlantic. as it goes by, we get storm surge coming in this direction. you can see all the power lines crisscrossing us here as the

people are well educated and concerned about sustainable life styles.ecology is important. >> a lot of people vote green. we think a lot about the environment. >> it is the lifestyle, the way the city looks. >> that is definitely the case in the french quarter. the city guide shows as a run the district that has become a test case for urban ecological living. >> i tried to live as sustainably as possible. i do not get obsess about technology are dashing around all over the place. it is easy to do here, because i live and work in the same place. my office is 150 meters away. i do not need to create a load of co2 to get there. >> that sort of attitude meets with approval in a district where 50 percent -- 57% voted green, almost twice the city right. almost every roof is equipped with solar cells. citizens are proud of their own brand of ecology. >> we have a tradition of conservative environmentalism. our state premier would probably never get elected in an alternative place like berlin. we have always been as concerned with the economy and medium- sized

the sustained winds are mostly over the water with the now saturated ground. those kinds of winds -- remember isabel with a lot of tree damage in that area. i'll expect we'll see reports in that regard and that area also. then this evening overnight hours will go along the coast of the delmarva past places like ocean city impacting the delaware bay with storm surge and high winds. by either morning near north carolina moving up the coastline of nj new jersey very near new york city. i don't want you to get too carried away with that exact point on there. as you saw on the radar satellite imagery, the center is not a tight mgts eye. it's a broad area. right now hurricane-force winds, and we keep them in the forecast at least for now right up through a final landfall into new england. next slide, please. the tropical storm wind probabilities as we talked about for several days now, this gives you an idea of how large an area likely to be impacted by at least tropical storm-force winds while irene makes its trek up the eastern seaboard. whether they last for hour
