they did so here with the north beach library. found that the north beach library in particular was eligible under two separate criteria. the first being events and the second being architecture. the north beach library was designed and constructed during a time of unprecedented commitment at local, state, and federal level towards the development of a public library system. the north beach library conveys the broad trend of social and cultural shifts in the post-war american library unit, and the north beach library represents san francisco's greatest capital expenditure in the library modernization movement. we felt that for those three reasons, it met the criteria. and architecture, the commission found that the north beach library's design embodies the principles of mid-20th century american public library design. it is eligible under this criteria both as the work of a significant architecture firm and as a building that possesses high artistic value. the building design expresses a residential character and scale that draws

no landmarking the north beach library. nd because i was a child when the library was brand-new, my brothers and sisters, my neighbors have lived in my small little street in north beach that is comprised of -- one block away. who was the other? oh, yeah, fred, the principal of the largest elementary school in san francisco, of their principleals -- other principal. all of us were kids who lived on that one story. -- street. we all wanted to go to the north beach library, but it was too small already, in the 1950's, and there was not a children's section, nor was there a teenage section. in fact, some of the patrons were so concerned about it being a quiet library that they tried to shoo us away, so we never felt that even in the 1960's and 1950's that that library was welcoming. is it welcoming now? no. not enough of the services are connected with the recreation and park department, which i think this new plan forms a wonderful collaboration so that children and their parents can use both. [bell] i also need to say that --

i live one block from the north beach library. have been there for 25 years and i wish to state that i am hardly in favor of landmarking it. here are some of the reasons. independent historians and the planning department concur that the north beach library has high architectural, historical, and cultural significance and has the highest integrity of all of the applicants. the north beach library is eligible for the national register of historic places and the california register of historical resources, as well as thematically related multiple property listings. from 1988 until 2008, the library's structural report in branch library improvement program planned for rehabilitating -- and a branch library improvement program planned for rehabilitating the library. ;filling up a precious piece of together with the magnificent trees, and adding to the wall, a columbus intersection, that will create a wall that goes across columbus, because the planned library is a two-story library and takes away from open space. thank you. supervisor

first stop: the beach at juan-les-pins on the west side of the cap d'antibes. both private and public beaches line the riviera coast. now, private doesn't mean you can't go in. it just means you'll pay a daily fee. i happen to think it's worth it. you'll get a beach chair, umbrella, drinks, a spot by the sea, and probably a restaurant with a pretty good lunch. the belle epoque came to a crashing halt with world war i. after the war, the riviera came back to life with the freedom and live-for-today attitude that often follows war. young people flocked here. many were americans who brought a strange new music with them: jazz. literary celebrities f. scott fitzgerald and ernest hemingway vacationed on the cap d'antibes. the modern suntan was invented in juan-les-pins. people drank hard and talked fast. life was sweet again. for today's adventurers, all kinds of water sports beckon. walk along the beachside promenade and choose a beach club that suits your taste. while luxurious hidden estates occupy much of the riviera, there are often pathways around the capes and

however, what it did have is a steamtrain line that ran out lincoln way to the beach. it was basically built to bring picnicers, who wanted to get away for the weekend, to go to the beach for a sunday. right here at the end of the sunset district, at the northwest corner, is where carville gets its start, on a little strip of land, a little block that the mayor at the time owned. and that's where colonel daley put up his little coffee sal yoon -- saloon, using that old car. that's where carville takes off. so who's responsible for carville? we said the mayor of san francisco at the time. very wealthy land owner. owned at one point i think they say 1/12 of san francisco in land. most of it was in the west side of the city. robert fitzgerald was called the king of carville. he was an early settler to carville. jacob heyman that realtor, started being called the father of carville. we'll see why in a second. and this guy on the left, colonel daley, was often called the pioneer father of carville. he really gets a lot of the credit. here's colonel daley in his little shed.

as you said, tens of thousands of jellyfish lined the shore here at ocean beach for about three miles. a spokesman for the national parks service said scientists are now looking into the phenomenon. he told me this was a rare occurrence for ocean beach and the last time something like this happened was about seven years ago. these are most likely moon jellyfi jellyfi jellyfish. >> i have to watch my step. the dogs seem to be a little puzzled by them. >> it's interesting, very unique. probably the most jellyfish i've ever seen at the beach actually. >> reporter: now take a look at some photos posted on twitter today. you can get get an idea of how much where she willy fish were on the beach. the parks service that number is in the tens of thousands. they said currants and tides can cause this. the park service also has a marine biologist who is looking into this. >> thank you, monty. >>> in the north bay, police are searching for a man suspected of shooting and killing two people this morning. it happened on crowley lane. investigators say around 6:00 last night, ricardo deleone argued

containers and collection centers throughout the beaches and employ local citizens the second phase would be to establish state of the art incineration systems that would recycle trash as well as provide electricity for the island. leon's action plan could be used for any island for some diminishing land sources but the local fiji television station taped an interview of your own story and his current mission to taro. years. there are two cleone out in his boat to revisit the scene of the battle. i used to have a nightmare. i granted for years afterwards. i had somehow. fallen into the water and i had sunk down and there was a kid sitting on i am on a tank. he was saying he he waved at me he and i are about twenty maybe thirty feet under water and i was looking at him wondering what the fuck are you doing here and he was sitting on top of the sherman tank and the corals all around this bright yellow red blue car all was all around us and it was a kid very happily sitting on top of the chair ever take and that's a dream that i had for years. i had told my wife. if i start threatening

the large concentration of litter on the beach poses an additional health hazard when the refuse is swept out to sea during a storm. despite this danger leon saw no empty aluminum cans or plastic bottles he found a base yos major recycling plant nearby where aluminum cans are crushed in both cans and bottles. leon paid a visit to the owner and manager of the plant derek and reward that i wrote repeatedly to the washington usual suspects the president and the white house the secretary of defense the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff members of congress so i'm here to began and hopefully an action program with funding from my government but we've got. to restart the help of the many. faceted. call that. way here's in a nutshell what i'm thinking is we should expand your operation clean up the beach on red beach one would be my primary objective because my salty language but you can understand my anger and having seen this in just a creation of how the ground war on red beach. leon had developed an action plan for base you that included two phases the first would be to set up refuse cont

we want the same thing to happen in the north beach community. the community explored numerous options, including renovation, and other alternatives, but in the end, the only way to provide this very dense urban neighborhood with the library services they deserve in an accessible and state building is by replacing the outdated and inefficient branch library with new buildings, and i have been in this business for 30-plus years, and from a professional standpoint, there is no basis for keeping that library, even if we were to do an expansion, because it does not meet the programmatic needs for the community. not only now, but i generations to come, which is what we need to keep looking at -- but in generations to come, which is what we need to keep looking at. i have been impressed with the collaboration of our sister department, recreation and park, and the library. rarely does the community have an opportunity to create a severe vision in a very dense environment, so we need to take advantage of that -- opportunity to create a civic mission. keep

. >> i represent the north beach neighbors in part. at our may 10 neighbors board meeting, the man who oversees the library spoke, and they voted to recall our support to the proposals of the new library. the north beach reaffirms that they are demolishing the current library, relocating on the trying galton -- on the triangle. the draft environmental impact report has been challenged. the reason it has been challenged is because of all of the misinformation. everybody here wants a bigger library, including the north beach neighbors, but if you are going to take away one substandard library and give us another substandard library, it is not worth the money we are going to pay for it. this is the new library they were putting up. i've put up a new design. this is a huge library, but it is also a triangle. there is only 2% less than the library we are dealing with today. i would suggest, please plan to mark the building. fix it curren -- fix it. it could make a better library. >> the remaining cards i have -- [list of names] everyone else

unlike the sizzling black beaches of santorini, the beaches here are soft and sandy. and there are enough beaches that tourists can spread out. naxos is so lovely and serene that it would be easy to linger for weeks. but the siren song of the blue aegean beckons us, so we're off for more island hopping. we're stopping briefly on mykonos to make a connection to the tiny island of delos. it's also possible to make a day trip to delos directly from naxos. mykonos is a playground of jet-setters, upscale bars, and golden sand, all surrounded by the sparkling sea. one of the smallest of the cyclades, mykonos is a favorite of tourists. it's crowded and expensive during high season. the harbor shelters cruise ships as well as yachts that make the island a regular stop. there's good reason for its popularity: it's a gorgeous island with a charming capital city. you'll be struck by the cubical white houses and the narrow maze-like streets. the streets were designed to disorient pirates, who in ancient times prowled the heavily-traded waters around mykonos. tourists today do all
