clay core for the dam how clean is clean as you can see this the the stern at the walk with the dam standing to the side because everybody wants to be sure the foundation is clean to make a good bond between the clay and the foundation that is extremely critically portion of the project in terms of the dam safety now i'd like say that it is not going to be this tedious throughout the duration it will really when they first get started everybody is on the same page regarding how clean is clean before we move forward once everybody is on the same page that the pace starts to pickup, of course, a lot of handwork to make sure the clay is infected in the crevices and start using the equipment to bring this up as construction moves forward. >> that was actually, the first day with that photo right there we've recently completed the tower and as you can see the need to the original spring valley and the weather vein placed on top of the tower to be a portion of project that is capped off okay. so moving on to the alamany creek he wanted to show this picture from 1931 shortly after the cons

at the location of the tree and the curve the bulb out it is that is the tree there that's on the boarder line of their property we have photographs to illustrate that if we have time to show the footage of they're building 14 square foot the rontsdz failed to have an inspection 72 hours per the procedures it states on the permit application that failure will render this permit newly and void it was - they told me this violation was grounds for a hearing referring to the douglas construction brief on page 5 quote this is what they said we skipped the inspection and a site visit would have been a pointless waste of time since douglas thought it was unimportant went ahead and built the shed i find it, it is clearly stated on the permit application my third point douglas built the shed larger than specified 9 foot by 3 foot 6 by 6 feet sorry 6 feet two instead they built that 5 by 7 foot two 6 inches wider this is the illustration of their - a structure with smaller structure a hazard even the height of a trash can someone can hide we have photographs of the dumping this blights our neighbor

now the models the lawyers used for this that i describe in the book is the difference between the nuisance system and the permit system. the new since the system is based on the classical legal principle something something something. i don't know that. and what that means is you have the right to use the property so long as you want as opposed to the permit system that says you are not allowed to do this unless the government allows you. now there are problems. one of them is that it's basically reactive. it allows people to commit harm and then you can sue them or get an injunction against them more or less after they committed the horrible or immediately before. the permit system is proactive if says no, no, you have to prove to us that you are qualified. there are many more problems in the permit system in the nuisance system for rent seeking the phenomenon the government can hand out benefits to people. no government can possibly know all of the information necessary to run the entire economy. the example given nobody in the world knows how to build a pencil because you need graphite,

body reads as follows: the board of supervisors respond to the needs of the people of the city and county of san francisco respond to the needs of people the mission statement of the board of supervisors of you last i checked we don't need anymore gentrification we don't need more displacement you already know what is happening out there you already know the inherent classes that exist one luxury development the question remains, however, what you are going to do about that when are you going to craw draw a line in the said. >>and say this is where we stop and shift if caring about money interests to the interests of the people of the city how much gentrification needs to happen until you say enough will you ever say enough how many of us and the businesses we frequent will be forcefully pushed out by your inaction yesterday at our you think it's gathering you said san francisco will remain a sanctuary city if you keep up this not much places for people to afford you stress the importance of being inclusive north yet approve projects conflicting for the well-off i understand this is what

over the years the last one closed in 1999 the prior bars closed in 1980 the buildings on the site have basements they don't have tunnels the building have storefronts on church and market street their basements in the buildings where people can traffic verse but no tunnels and no connecting to the buildings the p.m. d has excluded will not - the district is large the site on the perimeter and many other intact buildings in the district that have post prohibition pares barry's the appellants have not contradicted the information and in addition group is creating an interpreter program and offered financial assistance to reestablish the lgbt business on taylor street the side of compton's cafeteria we offered the lgbt history society access to the site to salvage artifacts and on the resources in the building we have - also continue to meet with the group when this motivator goes to the board of supervisors and discuss what other assistants to the formation of the compton district let me conclude by quoting from jan watson's letters she's the author of the citywide lgbt compact assessmen

the war in the pacific, particularly in the southwest the civic was unusual. unlike just about any other conflict the u.s. had fought him before for two main reasons. first, the geography of the area buthe vast space of it particularly the island of new guinea. it is one of the least developed. infrastructuree like there is in europe where you can find ports and roads and accessible terrain to be able to operate. in new guinea, whatever you need to fight, you will probably have to take with you. the land does not provide it. and so, that creates an engineering and supply problem that is unlike just about anything we've seen before. that is the first part. the second part is that for general macarthur to get where he needs to go, from eastern new ,uinea back to the philippines he needs help. it cannot just be the army. it has to be the army, navy, and the air corps, now the air force, working together. no one service can win the war in the pacific. that is one of the things that this panel really shows us and develops these themes. the first is the airpower pie

at the upper levels at the third floor through the 6 floor the glass captures the columns so you get a continuity of the framework to reinforce the vertical frame which is a very important part of the emphasis of the building composition of the building but it also allows a opportunity for interaction with the building itself. it is more than just something you look at , it is something you can touch. the circular sample in the lower left corner is what we propose for material, it is white portland cement concrete: the curarea marble we are proposing is around it portals at the southwest bey so at sutter and atround courner at grant. we previously envisioned a single entrance on sutter but discussing with arc and folks at the planning department we decided that it would be a good idea to emphasize that corner by adding a like portal around the corner on grant so that's what our design currently reflects. i think that the last part of the discussion has to-do with how we terminate the building is that is by previously we had just stopped the scrim element but in discussions with staff

trends in the 4 months you've mentioned that is part of the vision of the city of the future and envisioning the city changes in the retail and transportation, etc. and the environment we talked about earlier but not something to continue for a timeline i don't think that is quite not a linear process for that reason and couldn't say it could change we need policy and have something by which we can use as a similar argument for everybody office is far more lucrative in terms of when and square footage than upstairs retail i see the same way hat makers and a pdr of the retail district just being there because they have their customers come upstairs and other elements of interest in retail for that reason i don't personally building that just continuing this prolong at this moment is the right way to explore with the department what the right balance not a district no, but need more time with the research to donor. >> a continuance will get us inside of a year. >> i don't know the departments calendar it is full i can't comment i don't think we want to extend that i know that projects are a si

bring up the chart now, the idea of the peso.ack on the trump rally. help us with why. why is this the measurement? >> general concerns about the dollar. i think under president trump. you can do this unilaterally with nafta. certainly that is the sentiment. when you look at the dollar, we find the dollar was undervalued relative to the widening interest rate differential. not just mexico but the developed world. what we are seen is this just completely disappears. i think this have to do with something of the fact that the polls widened out again with hillary clinton. what is interesting is the dollar has come down very hard against major currencies. come down hard against major currencies. that is an international concern about the fact the polls have tightened when i think the international community is concerned about what will happen. >> i have a chartier. looking at the dollar frank. you see a significant weakening of the dollar. what about the other classical safe havens? we look on the peso side to see which currencies wo

because the funds - the way that is written in the most simple funds the way the grant is cut off theroperty owner is able to terminate the lease so it could be situations where we're not providing the funding but the tenant is still paying the full amount of the lease so if you want me to explore. >> do we include the flexibility where the tenant can pay for a the difference. >> why want put in a clause and add whenever appropriated that the event that the fund is no longer vertebral for whatever reason the tenant has the option to get out of the lease, however, you say that legally that should be written into the lease if the tenant is able to find on alternative source of funding for the amount on which the lease was made contingent than the lease will remain for the term of the lease. >> right? so if you come up with the money you can keep the lease but if not and the city will not give it to you that's not our eviction clause as a landlords if the tenant what come up with the money from an alternative means; right? the city is paying the money directly to the landlords this is a

the breastworks in the lower part of the hill occupied by the brigade. moore, theo captain 147th pennsylvania. firingers were to keep through the trees, over the field, into the woods beyond. it was soon discovered that the woods in question were full of rebels and they responded in a lively manner. this is a picture of the lane from postwar. probably one of the reunions. the boulder is still there a long the link. if we have the opportunity, we will go up there today. the fencing you see their was torn apart and used for breastworks initially. but i have asked the question a number of times of the park if they were going to restore the fences. not on culp's hill yet. elaine was nicely restored 10 lane was is now -- the nicely restored about 10 years ago and it is now a little overgrown. that was the one 47th. -- 147th. id -- soon after daylight, the rebels came along our french. , a very competent line alongcided his the lane was too exposed. it was on a small ledge so he moved his men down. he wanted the regiment to advance to below the breastworks and

that in resolving the tension again the need of the legislative branch and the need of the executive branch that the more intensely partisan oversight becomes the more likely it is that the court will protect the equity that is involved in a need for a deliberative process in the administration. and i think if there was any point i would want to reinforce these remarks, it would be that. we have seen some highly partisan investigations, without going beyond that and identifying any particular one. there have been some highly partisan oversight hearings and investigation. and if that is going to be the perception of the court in trying to resolve what is the equity in the administration, the court is naturally going to say, well, if the congress is going to involve itself in highly partisan use of the investigative process and not do it on a bipartisan basis for the institutional need to use oversight in order to get information, that the court i believe, and this is just based on my experience, the courts are likely to respond and to give greater deference to the equities which are i

the area where the fed moves toward the market, the election and the impetus is the front end of thatn we look at what is going to happen with the said when wealked -- paul, look at what is going to happen possibly threed or five people that president-elect trump could make, what difference will that make? what difference will their shift to be in terms of how we seahawks versus does -- see hawks versus doug and janet yellen potentially be replaced? paul: the cousins in the market is the people come on will be less likely to be more dovish. the market is thinking we get a bit more regressive said fedtion -- said bam -- reaction. what matters is the forecast in change once wel get fiscal stimulus legislated. that means a more regressive fed said we have seen. more certainty that the demand will be there in 2018. even if the people do not change, the fed's action will change in a look different. the kind of days of dithering of the fed is in the bank. jonathan: paul mortimer-lee, great have you with us for talking about strong data. and/or bowl good orders strong across of the board. --

only the officer who owns the lock knows the combination to the lock. locks, weceive those set the combinations. and that combination is classified top secret because it is guarding top-secret equipment. so the two officers, after they received the launch order, they would come to the safe, remove their locks, retrieve the launch keys. the crew commander's launch key is inserted here. and the deputy crew commander's launch key is inserted here. the placement of these keys is intentional and it serves a very important purpose. it guarantees that both of the officers will have to act together to launch the missile. in order to launch the missile both of these keys have to be turned at the exact same moment. the key switches are spring-loaded. if you let go, it automatically falls back to the off position. the keys are also too far apart for one person to be able to turn both keys. this means that both officers have to agree that they are going to launch their missile, and they have to cooperate in order to do that. once they turn their keys, it to launch

the character, the intelligence, the experience patriotism, the idlism, the compassion, the sense of brotherhood. of which we could rely on in the future to restore the greatness to our country. we need a president who can go in, who derives his strength from the people. the special interest, nothing. i owe everything to you, the people of this country. and we combined our wounds. i believe that we can work together and i believe that we can tap the tremendous untapped reservoir of innate strength in this country. we can once again have a government as good as our people and let the world know what we still know and hope for, that we still live in the greatest and the strongest and the best country on earth. >> on november 2nd, all of you will make a very important decision. part of the major issues in this campaign is trust. a president should never promise more than he can deliver and a president should always deliver everything that he's promised. a president can't be all things to all people, a president should be the same thing to all people. it's another issue in this campaign,

, the specific language of the decision and order of the f ppc with the evidence supports the findings that mark farrell did not authorize lee to coordinate with the sparrow and that is the language that was in the recycle taken from the f ppc. in all the sworn documents filed by supervisor farrell he denied any knowledge and the commission, one of the things important, the commission had no evidence to counter his denial. it's nice to make accusations about his criminal activity but we had no evidence to support that. absolutely none. the only evidence was we had was his sworn statement under penalty of perjury that he had nothing to do with it and we did not make a finding that he did. we simply said we concur with the statement that the ftp see made. so there are been i've got to say, from my point of view this and a lot of accusations made against supervisor farrell that there is no evidence before the commission that would support it. i guess you can tell from the statements that of inmate who the three support who supported the settlement and the two who dissented from it. i don'

the first school was built by the neighbors. the district did not have the money or the interest.en they finally got a school the city built, it took 25 years to get it. this is the dedication. >> they have diagonal sheathing. >> they had an architect in charge. you could get rattlesnakes. some of the great homes in san francisco built before the earthquake had diagonal sheeting. all of the joints had to be cut at a 45 degree-angle. this had diagonal sheathing. >> much more effective. >> those three buildings are still there in the ocean view. that is the twin peaks tunnel hiding behind that building. that was a big deal for getting a lot of the neighborhoods that we were talking about. anglesite terraces, forest hill, and will side -- ingleside. it would cut the commute time. it made home building and buying a ridiculous proposition. the tunnel would solve the problems. there is the tunnel. 1915, they're building the tunnel. >> 1920-something. >> they used to decorate the tunnel for christmas. why don't they do that now? >> it obstructs the actual portal. >> west portal went from

and the caregivers how to get the students the support that is how it happens at the all the schoolsnd it will help to continue to focus on the support for the parents community and working with parents so thank you for that arrest plaintiff second i appreciate the continued alignment with the african-american initiative also talk about this with mr. dickey and pastor brown and my colleagues as well as and the leadership cap to make sure that all department within the district align and that everyone has a certain focus and goals to enroll to make sure all our initiative the ali initiative have a achievement in the success and continue to push to continue to hold us accountable i share that with parents if you're not sending e-mails and not licensed and not letting us know what is happening in the school we can't address it so make sure that things are not happening and the mistreatment we're not doing what we're supported supposed to what we're committed to say happening and also love to see at smooiment maybe the next time we have a conversation outside of this some kind of list fr

the price, so was the gross really that numbersome but also in the question of the pricing, if we have these taxes and everything else taking money out, how do we ever get growth if we're only going to be looking at taking money out of the economy -- >> will higher taxes hurt the long-term growth outlook? >> you know, i'm general -- i'm sympathetic to the idea that marginal tax rates, applying to individuals or businesses matter for things like investment and economic growth, so i'm very sympathetic to the idea that the kinds of tax cuts that particularly were in place in the 1980s actually worked and did encourage economic growth. that's not to say that that's all that matters, and you certainly had growth in the 1990s without having those kinds of cuts in tax rates. but i think it's certainly a part of the picture if you're thinking about growth and investment. >> look, you're going to have a little bit of a tough time here, because you're basically making robert's -- you're basically reaching robert's kind of conclusion with my kind of argument, because -- >> sounds perfect.

up let me say the next one shows the incomes of the people at the bottom 10% of the earners in four different groups of countries. for those that don't have the bucks, go out and buy the book. the chart is definitive proof of that. one of the things we also talk about we understand that there is not just economics and labor as the phd and that is the case but there's human dignity and work and the market economy that has dynamic growth allows for people to know the dignity of work. but the data why don't they understand it and where is this kind of enamored by socialism coming from? from? >> guest: i grew up with liberals and he's a classic liberal and so this medicine. the winds got confused but it's not just income. i ran thousands of aggressions on all of the indicators all of the things liberals want. guess where you have the cleanest environment and where you have the most women in the workforce, catholic country. have the highest degrees for eighth-grade women, catholic country. the most political rights, civil liberties. then you talk about the dignity of work and one of my s

the historic city is on the left of the river. that island is envisioned to become a new part the city and connected by two visually stunning bridges that were also part of the project. someone who spent quite a bit of his career designing bridges i was fascinated with bridges and the fact that there was such design skill and architecture devoteed to these bridges. it added to the space and the project. significant community and stakeholder engagement was a key part developing the program and building support to move for flood protection forward before disaster strike jz allows to make decisions what you want to build and how you tpt to look when you take action before disaster strikes. we also saw port infrastructure in transition in amsterdam and rotterdam. these show a reuse of ship building building in amsterdam. not unlike the buildings we see at pier 70. we visited the coastal area of haigh to provide coastal defense from the north sea. a project called, sand engine uses currents to replenish beaches every 20 years than ever

the first on what is the connecn to the united states which is evident on the face of the statute. what the statute does is treat the couple as if they were married. in this case the child was legitimated by marriage, and what the statute did was me the marriage rroactive to the date of birth. >> i'm going to make an example of where the never married. theyike living togethe thout being married. now what's the justification? >> under the 1986 amendments it easier for the father to acknowledge the child but in a situation there are two parents. the father does not get to make unilateral decisions about the child. he gets to be a parent. he doesn't get to be the only parent the way the mother is the only parent before legitimation. this is true in lehr versus robertson in the domestic context. >> you are giving a sophisticated rationale, but we're talking about legislation from 1940 and 1952. at that timehe statute books were just shot through with distinctions between children or none of wedlock and affiliation with the mother and the father. so this was at peace with all that legis

the battle of yorktown ended the british will to continue the revolution and was the ending of the war. the new state constitutions ever drafted in 1776 were terribly important, more important than the federal constitution that followed. the federal constitution was derived from the experiments worked out in the state constitutions. they were written documents and from that moment on, when people created new constitutions, everybody who wants a constitution wrote it down. that was not true earlier. if you are going to have a new constitution like in iraq, they wrote it down. that was a grand innovation. more important was the notion of separation of power. it does not mean just legislation, it is the prohibition on members simultaneously holding office in the legislature. by prohibiting that, you prohibit a rise of cabinet government, which has been more adopted by the world then our system so that when hillary clinton became secretary of state, she had to resign her senate seat. if she were in england, she would have to remain in the house of lords to get into the cabinet. that is the

the comptroller of the currency, most of the abuses that occurred were in the national bank where the comptroller of the committee alscurrencyalso has responsibilt spend historically true. they did find these problems and they have significant fines put in place and actions to correct them. the end of 2011 looked at a subsidiary we were then responsible for which was the independent mortgage company and found the abuses which we did find wells fargo for and put in place enforcement actions. i think that we have all worked together pretty constructively to try to address the abuses. i would say that going forward in the institutions we supervise our state member bang and we are looking to see if there are similar practices that could cause problems and with the holding companies we supervise the largest institutions and have undertaken a thorough review of the compliance practices that we do work constructively and collaboratively. >> so there is no real disconnect? >> there are many agencies involved in the supervision and we try to work together and i think we have had a good working

the federalist is the explanation of the blueprint. i wasn't going to spend much time on federalism anyway because although he got the federalism decisions right, he didn't much focus on them. why? well, as he said one time, the 17th amendment, direct election of senators, basically killed federalism. he also said, if the people won't preserve federalism, don't expect federal judges to preserve federalism. but more importantly, in a way, some of the important federalism cases are also separation of powers cases. think of the sovereign immunity 11th amendment cases. it's the states, it's the federal government, congress enacting something. think about obamacare. federalism is really the joiner of federalism and separationer of powers. justice -- in conclusion, justice scalia's lone dissent in morrison against presidential power as given in article 2 was ultimately vindicated. it will be interesting to see if the constitutional limit on expansion of presidential power will be vindicated. although justice scalia died before the 4-4 split

presidentjust the elected. it was the senate and the house. mike: it looks like what happened is that donald trump rock people along on his coattails. .ou saw that in missouri it looks like kelly ayotte is going to survive. and that is by narrow margins. if hillaryhave lost clinton had performed better in those states. so that means maybe he has leverage on capitol hill with some of these senators. the real question is, what can he get done now that he has a republican house and senate? it may not be as united as people think, particularly on the house side because what trump is talking about doing is an infrastructure program which you mentioned earlier, $500 billion plus a big tax cut that people say will leave the deficit way down. maybe even as low as barack obama in 2009. half the members of the house were elected on a tea party platform of don't spend more money. cut the deficit. cut spending. so he'll will he be able to get something through? taxes, wecifically on have paul ryan, the speaker on the house. largely adopted his plan. so ar
