the san andreas is the main fault. there is the hayward fault. the difference between the two is that the san andreas is predominantly offshore. the hayward fault actually crosses beneath populated areas and poses a larger threat. as we speak, there is a 67% probability of a major earthquake on one of these faults in the next 30 years. it is of major -- high probability. it is a magnitude 6.5. the 1906 was 7.9. the 1957 earthquake was 5.7 on the san andreas. the loma prieta was 7.1. it was so far with it we got a little effects of it. that is the overview of the geology. >> i would like to setup a wonderful old chart of san francisco from the 1850's and 1860's. let's look at this northeast corner of the city. it is really interesting. i am sure that frank has a lot to say about it. the thing i find absolutely surprising about this is that there is this large area called mission bay. out in the middle of the bay is mission rock. many of you have been to mission rock resort. this is part of the shore line now. look how far off shore it was in the 1

commissioner sugaya: i guess the question is was there -- i mean, if the project sponsor's goal is demolition, as one of the audience members said, there are no alternatives, right? so that is a catch-22. how can you have an objective that is demolition of the building? that is questioning very -- >> those are objectives, but you can certify a document. you can either support the project or not support the project and not embrace all of their objectives. commissioner sugaya: true. i think commissioner more is trying to get to one of the arguments for demolition is that the building cannot be used. the ceilings are too low. the column spacings interfere. we had one architect testified that he thought quite the opposite. it would seem as though the eir should take a look at whether or not the project sponsors supposed substantiation of demolition holds water or not. >> would you like that to be done not only from a feasibility, but as a variant or alternative? is that what you're saying? commissioner sugaya: i think as a variant or alternative would be preferable. president miguel: earlier, i a

the field poll is even worse, the credibility is the worst in the state sold the fact that exist is thert of living today, they're voting in a week and the public will realize that this is an economic disaster if you do this and taxes does not have the be 32, be at a flat rate is why data they have crated 70 percent all of the jobs in the country and the reason that we are at about third highest unemployment rate in the nation is because of subsidize jobs in california that do not create investments and that's what we need to do. >> think you ought both of you out and they you for joining us. proposition 23 on the november ballots and [ male announcer ] we went to germany's nurburgring to challenge ourselves on the most demanding track in the world. with us, in spirit, was every great car that we'd ever competed with. the bmw m5. and the mercedes-benz e63. for it was their amazing abilities that pushed us to refine, improve and, ultimately, develop the world's fastest production sedan.

here is the deal. we have to make our picks for sunday. >> before we do that, can i show you one more peyton manning commercial? peyton manning unplugged. >> and now another priceless pep talk from peyton manning. >> how is it going? i hear you. maybe what you need is a few new dance moves. derrick, show them what you got. i like it. work it. all right. stop. stop. that's enough. seriously. you're going to hurt your self. >> this is another priceless pep talk. >> this is what we need to do every friday. >> i would love to see you do that dance move. >> maybe if we can pick up another win. >> come on. >> i tell you what we will do. we will wait until next hour to give our predictions and maybe you will get one more peyton manning commercial after that. >> maybe not after that. let's check in with tony and allison right now. >> he has personality. >> he does. he hosted "saturday night live." good stuff. >> were you talking about practice, dave? >> practice. >> i like that. >>> what's going on? >> a cool m

it is a referendum on or the country is. -- on where the country is. the second thing is not traditional, the amount of money that is being spent from outside groups. i cannot tell whether people pay attention to this barrage of stuff, billions of dollars worth of advertising or you just cannot turn on the television in some of these states without -- >> this i checked a week ago. in colorado, $27 million has been spent. colorado has 2.4 million active voters. >> colby king, that amount of money can change the terms of the debate. it can overwhelm a campaign. >> absolutely. when you have a candidate who is running for reelection, and all of a sudden as $20 million pouring into his district against them, he is going to be almost overwhelmed by that. let me push on the bro -- barrage of ads. it is going to have an effect on the margins. and it has a corrosive effect as well. >> bill clinton, the happy warrior, back in the campaign spotlight. >> i don't want see my country making mistakes. i'm old enough to remember that when you make an important decision

the overhead, that is the picture of the fence on our side. there is a pretty significant slopes in our backyard. this is to the east of us, i believe. the grade from the west to the east is about a 70% grade. this slopes downward towards ms. fleming's property. now, this is the height of the fence. we did measure this and the fans tight is actually from about 8 feet and 11 inches. that is important because according to the san francisco planning code, we are allowed a fences up to 10 feet high. that is article 1.2. it says that you can have a fence of no higher than 10 feet in the backyard. we feel that we are well within that limit, of course we took measurements. we have no personal issues with miss fleming at all. we find her to be quite pleasant. given that the height of the censuses in the standard, we feel that we should be allowed to keep defense the way that it is and it does offer some privacy that we desire. >> it did you consider other designs instead of the pine? >> no, we liked the look of the fence and which understand that some

the time line? is this dependent on the complexity of the project? >> the building code is clear and how long you have to complete the work. people request to the extensions. this is completely up to the owner, the project sponsor. most are valid for about a year. how long does it take in the time between a contractor and an owner comes to your office and says that we are done, you are completed. you send someone out to make the assessment. >> how long does it take us to do an inspection. we usually do this within a few days. >> after the inspection, typically how long does it take? >> till we recorded this and show it on the computer and all of that stuff. >> we heard mr. sanchez said that it looked like from the photostat maybe the kitchen, was reconfigured to run perpendicular but was parallel, can you take a look of that also? >> i cannot tell if this matches or not. i think that there is another issue which is that the building code has some exemptions from certain types of equipment such as furni

this shows you how the land is depressed. you go down a steep slope into the garage. >> i would like everyone to understand that personal family circumstances are not what this commission is for. >> this is not as tall as the street that we saw. maybe the project sponsor can tell me. what you're doing is adding the upper floor. this does not look like it is much above the roof. do you know what that additional amount of height is. the roof virtually covers the new floor according the way that i can read it. i think said everyone seems to be fine. maybe staff has an idea. >> i would say three, maybe four. i see that you did not feel that this would rise the level of taking dr. this looks like this is well done. there are two units that are larger and in the upper floor. this provides for a key building units and the. >> i have one condition that i would like to introduce and that is on the front elevation by looking in the building, the existing windows are vertical and the proposed windows are horizontal. if we could maintain

the shaded property is the permit holder's property. the appellant is on the adjacent block. hat is why they do not show on this. but it is directly to the south. i think it would probably be more the afternoon sun that would be impacted, especially more so in the wintertime when the sun is lower in the sky. commissioner garcia: the time when you would most like to be in your backyard. >> commissioners, the matter is submitted. commissioner fung: a couple of things i would note first, before i for a direction of would like to propose. the deck is a fairly substantial back across the year -- across the rear of the property. the access to that that occurs through sliding doors -- the access to that deck occurs through a sliding doors in the larger dimension of the deck. the area we are talking about is actually the side of the house. i can understand the desire for greater privacy where they have windows there, but that fence runs all the way across the deck and goes across beyond the point of the edge of the building, the rear wall, and the windows that are there. privacy, as w

the dark. we are told that is the reason. were told this was a scheduled news conference but i have been informed that is canceled. steve haring is in chile. what is the word, steve? steve: they will released between two and ten and we will have reports on the health. the health is better than expected. there were concerns of serious eye damage from being in the dark so long and concern of possible collapsed lung from shallow breathing, concern of fungus but the only things we have heard of two dental operations and one case of pneumonia but they looked fit and vigorous upon coming out and many will be released in the next few hours. as far as how they will make their living, some are thinking about going back to the mine according to some reports but for the next six months they do not have to make a decision and the government will support them. the average salary is $1,600 a month and they have gotten $10,000 each from a mining entrepreneur here, and of course there is possible future money not only from books and films but

that is the idea. if a leader or a group poses challenges that easing are important that is where the issue of strategy comes in. make sure you have the appropriate mix of incentives and disincentives, pressure and rewards to come in and influence behavior. then there also is the issue of adapting. a bigger set of incentives them disincentives may not work so you need to change and adapt to achieve your goal. particularly if the goal is the security of the american people. the goal is to get cooperation in order to minimize the threat to the united states and to u.s. forces. in the case of pakistan, the complexity is that we have a country in the receives billions of dollars of u.s. assistance on the one hand and does the opposite on the other hand. this is a big, complicated challenge. i feel the pain of the people in power now in washington because i have been there, so to speak, myself. it is not an easy thing to do. i do not want to appear overly critical. unless we resolve this issue, getting succe

the taliban is more active. have a leader on our side in the afghan government who has been diagnosed as a manic depressive. this is not a good picture. i don't know how anybody comes up with the strategy. >> how many troops are needed to carry out petraeus' counter insurgency community based strategy? it doesn't appear like he has anywhere near what he really wants or what would be needed. >> on what congress is giving by way of the state department the funding to execute the diplomacy programs. >> the strategy is of the historical models. suppose it was a function of government that was fighting and we were going in to fight the government. what went wrong in iraq and afghanistan is the function of government was pointing to iraq. the u.s. is trying to do all of the counter insurgency. we cannot do it. we don't know enough about afghanistan. >> in the 30 or so seconds we have left, there were american soldiers from fort lewis who took drugs and killed innocent afghans and saved body parts. could this be the ne

, whether it is used by the president or an area that is used by the mayor. i think that accessibility is important, whether you have a member of the board that will benefit from that or not, i can see how the community -- that symbolism is something that is very meaningful. i am not interested in beginning a process, even after the end. i can see how maybe it would result in a happier one. i would want to make this accessible as quickly as possible. i understand the points that are being made by my colleagues. supervisor daly: just on the design process, did one design say -- let me ask this to the folks who have some building and engineering background. how do you come up with a design and not have options that we want, and alternate design or an alternate plan? that you have to start all over? it seems that this project, the most sophisticated and most complex being the bridge build right now or the transit center, you are never in a place to go a different direction that you are all the way back to square one. was this by design that if we rejected it, if

the proposal. these are three new lots. this is the existing house. this is going to be the fourth lot. this is forester. this is los alamos. the existing houses there -- this is the larger of the two lots. the three other lots -- as you can see, what we do is kind of complicated. i am not that good at it. we kind of average the distance between the front property lines of the adjacent properties and come up with his average. that is where the front property line needs to line up. there is a minor setback in front of each of these properties. they are taking up the entire width of the lot. however, they do have required rear yard space. obviously, the corner lot has a lot of rear yard. if i may put this down, this is a map that that is highlighted in green. these are the four parcels we are talking about. this is the existing house. these are the three new single- family homes. there is a lot of green space throughout the neighborhood. there will be remaining green space in the rear yards that will still enable their to be plenty of open space, what we call the dog not of a block. the pl

the number is even fewer at the st. regis, and that is the figure that has been stable since he property opened nine years ago. many of the rest of the residences sit and be a lot of the year. they are owned by people do not come here more than a few weeks out of the year. beyond that, we have looked at the employment out of these four seasons condos. you look at a couple of months recently, the 143 residences at the four seasons generated on average 3.1 hours of housekeeping work for we over this couple of months. by comparison, 143 luxury hotel rooms would generate 457 hours of housekeeping were during that week, so just by common sense and by the fact eir is flat out wrong on the employment issues, these condos have very different employment patterns from other condos, and by extension, they have very different land use consequences from the people who actually live there, so at this point, among others, i urge you to reject this eir as incomplete and inaccurate. thank you. >> i want to follow up on some comments i ma

>> howard is still here. the republican is down below. >> the reform party is gone. at's your party. it's in the canal, john. there's a constitution party out there? >> yeah, there is. it's on the ballot. >> what is the proposition? >> the real problem is -- republicans could lose their ballot position in 2012 in colorado for falling below 10%. >> i do. >> where is howard? >> howard is in the same building. >> back to hickenlooper. he is running well ahead, which is why he can afford to take the high road and pat should tell you his sister is running tom tancredo's campaign. okay, if tancredo wins, i'll eat your tie next week. >> tom tancredo is gaining and i have a feeling he has the momentum now and he has money pouring in and he may be able to pull this off. the bigger question about these ads is that a lot of the democrats, republicans, too. but mostly democrats are running negative personal attack ads against their opponent because they don't have a message. what are they supposed to run on? an economic message? the economy is very, very shaky. high unemployment.

the fiscal situation is unsustainable the whole thing is going to end in tears for the time being everybody is that tempting to bail as hard as they can the americans want to push the dollar down the dollar was crashing going into the crisis into the two thousand a crisis when the crisis hit there was sort of a panic move and everybody went to dollars and because the european banks had huge american assets which were all of a sudden no longer assets they had to. refund them they have to get dollars they sold down the euro quite brutally this was actually very good for europe cheapening europe as one of cheapening europe was one of the things which allowed the europeans to fight their way back now we are back to the trend the euro has been putting on the buy the big figure a day we've gone from a low of one thousand nine hundred to one thirty eight yesterday and i think it's going a lot higher from there and the europeans are going to start to get uncomfortable with this the problem is not everybody can push their currency down at the same time we have to push and that is what ever

if the problem is the debt threat. according to hillary clinton and at mullen, debt is destroying our ability to maintain our national security. let's get specific. i work with the central intelligence agency with bill casey, i have flown off and on carriers, and i have seen how wonderful they are. we have to provide the assets. the chinese are threatening us with the development of a carrier missile. we are failing to build a space- based based interceptor portion of our interceptor system. that is vital. that can reduce the number of troops that we have to keep overseas. this administration has deferred a missile defense system. they are only building it on the west coast. we have made vulnerability and some say less than five years to rein in intercom a total ballistic missiles. if we have a shield that can shoot down missiles when they are low and slow -- >> let's open it up for discussion. >> i think that was the wrong discussion. that which we need a strong and smart approach. instead of working on an anti- interc

the law is what the law is right now. if people are that bothered by it, then congress needs to change it. >> let me ask you about the firing of juan williams, analyst at npr and fox news channel. it's become a point of debate in the course of the campaign. >> yeah. >> eric cantor, the republican whip, issued a statement on friday, overreaching political correctness is chipping away at the fundamental american freedoms of speech and expression. npr's decision to fire juan williams not only undermines that, it shows an ignorance of the fact that radical islam and the terrorists who murder in its name scare people of all faiths, religious and beliefs. in height light of their rash decision, we will include termination of federal funding for npr as an option in the youcut program so that americans can let it be known whether they want their dollars going to that organization. >> i think what npr did was overreaching, it was an overreaction to his comments. he was expressing a personal perfect expectativ i the more appropriate

admiral mullen said the number one threat is the debt. that is not new. it comes from the book of proverbs. the borrower is the slave to the lender. i'm not going to enslave my grandchildren. >> [inaudible] >> as curious as i am to know your views on the mascot controversy -- earlier, a judge issued an injunction on the don't ask don't tell policy which ended the 17-year ban on gays serving openly in the military. what is your view on don't ask don't tell as well as the judge's ruling? >> the number one function of our military is to protect and defend the men and women and children of the united states. our military should never be used as a social laboratory to a dance anybody's agenda. -- advance anybody's agenda. >> i will say today and tomorrow. ending don't ask don't tell is not good. and again, took backbone to stand up against my party on that one. i think it threatens the morale of our military. i think it potentially threatens the effectiveness of its. i will tell you when don't ask don't tell was implemented, i'm not sure how i felt that the tim

there are many who don't recognize that the soviet union is gone and that the new russia is not the old soviet union but we need an enemy in their view and russia is just as good as any other and the idea that somehow bull you know can be the magic man the genes the person who is lurking to smear shit in a james bond movie sense you know the. organization of organisations that so secret we don't know anything about it it also seems to play well in the media because the more information that can be offered often without any evidence the better the story is in the case of blood here's a guy who's been accused and now is basically supposedly going to be extradited to the united states the mastermind the merchant of death all the labels have already been affixed to him but it's really unclear if there will be any extradition because russia sees this as an effort to demonize a russian and i think there's a case to be made here. and there are a cold war echoes from america elsewhere to the u.s. organization which oversees the media directed at foreign audiences has labeled the media in russia

enough friction along the base, and there is a slope on the backside, so there is enough weight pushing down on the wall that keeps it from moving. >> this is on broadway, along rage and russian hill. >> that is a completely different design. this is truly what is called a cantilever retaining wall. it is designed to rotate and move. you can see the quality of construction. probably what they did in those days, they would take the rock that was present in the vicinity and mix it with the cement and create concrete. so there is no quality control. the strength of that wall various props -- varies from batch to batch, but it is safe. that is a gatt -- that is a gravity wall with a buttress in it. the diagonal strokes are buttressedes to keep the wall from moving. the wall is actually providing support to the house is above. you cannot tolerate any movement. so they put these angles of concrete called buttresses. >> what would be under that? >> that is the cathedral at the corner of california and taylor. the rock under here is franciscan. it is sandstone. it is probably the hardes

i cannot make up what the president is but the reason to suspect him is because he's talking like what stop talking like that. according to the f.b.i. obama has garnered more death threats than any other american president in the us immigrants have also become the other arrested and detained in arizona beaten and bruised in new york where racial tensions have erupted in some low income neighborhoods unfortunately most of the attacks most recently have been by blacks against mexican violence many attribute to the struggling u.s. economy if you're a mexican immigrant right and people think that you're a threat maybe third job or something like that they're going to throw a saw in one basket that's the bottom line anything who looks different all the sudden becomes bad an alarming downturn in america's mood it clearly illustrates how frustrated and divided public but this leaves many asking if the land founded on freedom is becoming a land and soon i hate. fortnight party new york. international terrorists are behind the latest attacks in russia says the head of russia's security cou

i think what is happening on the run the country is people begin to focus on the choice. understanding this is not just a referendum on one note, but a choice between two directions, and they're focusing in on what the republican party is offering, which is backward to the policy that helped create this disaster, to the same formula. i think they will do this in favor of democrats. >> we have been looking at this from ". a first question is from some of you says she wants to know whether the plants from heading off a watershed in november? she says democrats, and she is talking about you, have been short-selling our message. is a shame we do not have a way to get out the message other than the president, and the president has several talking points. >> i am not going to sign on to that characterization. obviously, we have a little bit more of a burden in a sense that we are the majority party, with the republican party basically sitting up the last 20 months, and they have been not doing we have been trying to solve, et dm and with the problems that they left us. we will s

this is the way it is. also, everybody here is good things happening about them after they are dead. i have the opportunity to see this happen while i am still lives. i look at this award as an opportunity for me to find a place for my craft and keep the art program going. >> the director of the program address the crowd and ask for each member to consider donating funds to help save some of san francisco's most important neighborhood landmarks. >> as one of san francisco's living treasures, we respect you and, frankly, we are in off -- awe of your 50 years of tireless effort as an early art on from for north. >> i would like to be perhaps the first donation to our care and present you with a check to get the ball rolling. >> because i know that the arts commission is very sincere about this, i'm going to make a personal commitment of $10,000. [applause] >> what is significant about the program is the way it is set out allows us to treat the artworks that have the most need, the ones that our conservative h

the race is far from over. the governor says he is the only one. margo says he wants to bring change. i'm the only one sitting here who is willing to stand up to special interests and have a track record to prove it. democratic and independent and republican voters when they look at who will work for them will look at me. they will know in a candidate who qualified to muster the for educators, brought about smaller class items that both of these individuals were against in the state legislature. who stood up for the increase in the minimum wage? i did. my other two opponents were against it. when you think about the middle- class, think about democratic voters, who is the pro-choice candidate? i am, 100%. in the 100% production environment candidate, protecting against offshore oil drilling. it will become abundantly clear through the debates. i cannot tell you how much i appreciate sitting here so we can get these issues on the table and that floridians can see. >> it is important that yours understand what we're talking about. it is significantly

this is to do with what happens when the hearing is over. under the current procedures, the hearing officer, who is paid 300 or $400 an hour, is given time to write a lengthy report including telling us what he or she thinks should happen in the case. we have to read the transcript any way to come to our independent judgment, so i think we do not need someone else to tell us since we are going to read the transcript as well. this shortens the report to 10 pages maximum to be delivered within 10 days and focuses solely upon that hearing officer's observations to the hearing on demeanor and credibility. that is something we cannot see and it would be helpful for us to hear something that came up with the live eyes of the hearing officer. that is the fourth change. the fifth is at the very end, on the very last part of the current rules. this came up a couple of weeks ago. even if we sustain a finding after all these delays, we have to put it up for a further penalty hearing, further delays. i am proposing that we allow the commission the author

2nd, the question is what are you doing about the economy. put on your independent political hat. what is a democrat to say? >> well first of all, i think the democrats, it is interesting, i mentioned it in my column today. now not a single vulnerable house democrat is heralding their stimulus bill except for the democrats who voted it. they are wise not to do that. they have to focus on thingses that resonate with people that would lead people to believe will cause creation and economic growth. putting our fiscal house in or. cutting unnecessary spending. reducing deficit and targeted tax cuts aimed at encouraging business to invest in equipment those things have greater sail . the administration out during the -- last week and began to show openness tax cuts aimed at encourage businesses invest in plants and equipment not just businesses favored by the administration, allowing all business to more quickly write-off investment in plants and equipment. those kind of things might resonate with voters. democrats are in a deep hole on this anybod

the mclaughlin group is brought to you by metlife. guarantees for the if in life. >>> issue one, revving milenials. >> now is not the time to give up. we do not quit and we cannot forget that this nation has been through far worse and we have come out stronger from war, from depression, for equal rights and civil rights. we do not quit. >> in the 2008 presidential election, young voters under the age of 30 propelled barack obama to the u.s. presidency. then 51% of voters cast their ballots by a margin of 34 points. that's why the president was revving up the badgers at the university of wisconsin, madison and broadcast to 100 other college campuses. the president has his work cut out for him. a battleground poll conducted last week put the following question, quote, do you think president obama has performed his job as president well enough to deserve reelection? unquote. 38% said obama deserved reelection. 38%. but despite that low number, there may be good news for democrats. in a recent gallop poll conducted last week, democrats hav

the blue envelope is the set of model runs done without greenhouse gasses and the red envelope is the one with. so the message here is that up until about 1970, the two families follow each other pretty closely then they start to diverge. the reason they diverge of course, is greenhouse warming is becomeing a stronger influence and the actual earth climate is starting to feel that and depart from what it would look like if - i can't get the pointer to work - but if we only had natural variability, which you can see by the end of the 20th century the difference between modelled with natural variability and the actual observations or model with greenhouse gas forcing is half a degree celsius or fahrenheit difference. so we think what we think we can attribute to, anthro pe ingenic, forces. now i would assert that whether it's human or not. it does matter because if it is, then we can anticipate this is going to continue. in other words having a reason of the cause of climate is imperative for your business because it let's you plan, and if you believe us guys, the climate guys, then wha

it is really the measurement here. >> that is true. but the appellant or someone had raised the idea that that will -- wall is ground zero and had been pushed out. we wanted some proof that that was the case. then, the variance is greater than the foot and a half of what ever that dimension was or is. >> again, the foot and a half azov of that second story addition. -- is off of that second story addition. the premise on the existence of the underlying floor. >> that was my memory. let me back up one step. is the lower floor rear wall line within the rear yard? >> no, it is in the visible area. it was up to the rear yard. it was for the second story. when we are talking about the rear wall, it was always in the billable area -- buildable area. commissioner garcia: for some reason, multiple members looked at this differently. >> of the appellant raises the issue of invalid hardship because it is a hardship created by the owner. let's remember that for a second, forget about for a second. that would mean that they would have to get a vari

and the other issues is -- this is the reason why this of in court is hearing this argument. employers say they do not have the tools to check a person's legal status. and it is not their job. especially if you have fake social security cards out there that looks like real ones. that is a challenge that employers are facing and employers are facing. host: 4 we go, i want to apologize to you for -- before we go, i want to apologize to you for name-calling. fon johnson is a national correspondent for the national journal. we will be back tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m. thanks for watching.

this is what's in the mills building. this is what's in the rust building. this is what's in th in the hurt building. there's putty around them. they're going to shift. the wood kind of comes and goes. so it takes quite a bit to break a piece of plate because -- i mean you can -- this will take quite a bit of vertical weight but if it gets bound or whatever, you know, if you just get it in the wrong spot, that's what happens. >> we're seeing some major high rises going up near the bay bridge and south of market and i'm wondering what kind of glass is being installed in those towers, and what will be the effect in an earthquake. >> ooh, excellent question. >> oh, boy. i think i will -- the right answer is when you come off of that part of bay, i always get in the left-hand lane. >> [laughter.] >> but there are -- those are tempered. and, you know, presumably, they will shift. and what it depends on how much this whole thing swins, whether there's enough give and take in those frames so that they don't crack. i have seen tempered glass in the los angeles quake,

by the jury because the law is supported -- the law is used for that. in other words, the judge won't say this but he might say something like, well, we don't have to show that because it's in the law. so everybody who is convicted of marijuana or any other drug has no ability to go into court and show that their particular activity was blame-free, harmless. and in fact, it's similar to saying take marijuana or methamphetamine locally, anyway, if the police arrest somebody and they suspect they're under the influence or have used an illegal drug, they take them to the hospital emergency room and have tests done. methamphetamine and marijuana being a schedule 1 drug supposedly being so harmful it ought to be obvious by their activity that they're doing something harmful to themselves or an immediate threat to the safety and health of the society. host: michael from arizona. betty from little rock, arkansas, what are your thoughts on this topic? caller: well, i don't think it should be legalized because you've -- i don't think it should be legalized becaus

the hardship is because the house is so vague. that would be better if the house matched the footprint of the house next door. >> next speaker, please. >> hello. i am a 31-year resident and a member of the garden association. i am also a retired teacher. i appreciate having open space around. this building is way too big and shadows too much open space. >> i am licensed architect from california. i am in support of the de haro project. a variances should be granted. i know the amount of work that went into this project. it is a zone for this level of density. it is in full compliance with the zoning code. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i visit the people the in 1321 de haro. there are 50% of the four properties that have killed since in their rear yards. does that not set the precedent of how the current variance was decided? >> my name is gary. by live at 1265 de haro. most of us who live next to the open space have backyards that border the open space. it gives the impression that the open space is larger than it is. thos

the water is pretty high. the potomac is swollen. officials are warning people to stay off a large swath because the water is moving so fast. there is some debris over there. there is a log in the water. that is another reason to stay off the water for a couple of days. all in all, the situation could have been much worse. but we need this rain. back to you. >> you can get weather updates any time. just log onto tbd.com. >>> moving on, the new cell phone lot in maryland has taken effect. it is now illegal to talk on your cell phone unless you are using a handsfree devices. the lot is a secondary offense. police can take you only if they have stopped you for a different traffic violation. other new laws will take affect int maryland today. there is the new sex offender notification act. another law raises the stakes for child support payments. >>> we have 59 degrees outside. for child support payments. >>> we have 59 degrees outside. >> meet pnc virtual wallet. it comes with a money bar that shows what's scheduled to go out, what you'v

it is stretching of the way down there. it is pushing to the east and northeast. culpeper toward remington is pushing of to the north east. it is moving into parts of western charleston. we are watching the rain showers fill in more. the heaviest this to be should bed 2:00 p.m.. if you have these areas of rain developing. they will become more numerous. it shows rain throughout the day today. it is tapering off. there may be brief showers. it will become breezy. only near 60-degrees. a little bit breezy. a great weekend. we will talk about that coming up. >> plenty of traffic starting to trickle its way. how about 29 degrees out of columbia? we will take heed to columbia pike in shady traffic and a lot would drive. it is very quiet right now. it is good news for you to take it. we are moving nicely. crack>> thank you so much. people have their eyes to the sky. they are trying to figure out what is causing a light over the sky. they identified it. people have been calling into the city's 31 line to ask questions about it. police do not have an answer either. >> what

our feeling at the moment is that it's the second of those that is the most likely, that is the national enterprise model. and we can see as we look at that that there's going to be very substantial increase in flooding in the future and within that, that the biggest increase is likeliest to occur within our urban environments. so although we will see a very significant increase in flooding due to river flooding and flooding due to coastal impacts, the biggest cause or biggest increase in flooding in the future is likely to be within the urban area. what we've been wrestling with is how might restart to adapt to that? how might we cope with that future? this one shows the number of properties affected. what's interesting about this one is there isn't the same differential between the future assumptions that irrespective of how we see global economy developing we're likely to see something in the order of 4 to 5 times the number of properties affected by urban flooding in the future if we continue with our current levels of investment. we have exactly the same picture if we look at coasta

if i can have the projector, this is a picture of the proposed project that is basically 105 feet taller than the tallest building in the neighborhood. if you have ever had a glass of cabernet at umbria and you took a look at one of hawthorne, this is 100 feet taller. our building is buried at the back. there are 900 families that live within a few blocks of 222 second street. there are another 300 units that have been approved. in the comments to the eir, which i urge you to look at, you have 93 families 100 feet away. st. regis is the only luxury building. all the other buildings -- we are all middle-class people, with the exception of the st. regis. 83 families at here. 100 families here. 100 families here. two new projects are approved -- on second street and a building literally 40 feet away with a total of 340 families. not once since the sponsors started this project -- he did not receive community input in four years. they never came to us to ask us if we wanted a playground or open space. the only time we heard from them was the day before we approached members of the planning c

this is the banquette castro and 18th. -- this is the bank at castro and 18th. this is very popular but a little bit new york but still quite old. we thought when we established this neighborhood that buildings that had been somewhat altered but were otherwise intact were considered potential historically resources. in the last 25 years there has been a change. if there are any alterations, this registers as blank. we thought you could approach by 22nd street but to there are too many altered buildings. we thought you could come down from liberty street. we ask why they carefully showed the storefront which has been altered, literally every last one of them. what is directly above it is very clearly a high-end victoria building. i looked it up. in fact, it cost to $30,000 for the three killings. that was astronomic at that time. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. in my view, the declaration fails to understand the historic nature of this project. the overall scale of this project is compatible with the surrounding architectural pattern and that is ju

it is all funny money. the idea that there is this huge pile of hundreds of billions of dollars sitting around, we have to end at these stimulus programs which are bailouts for big banks and corporations. >> the next question, how does your experience prepare you to be arizonas next u.s. senator? excited about working for arizona and working for arizona. my experience is the exact experience that every united states senator should have. being able to reform -- to return phone calls. i was not just endorsed by the labor unions and planned parenthood, i was endorsed by the tucson association of realtors. once elected, we work on legislation and ordnances that were important to our community. gray water plumbing on all new homes for it water is a key issue for our state. i have a ph.d. and i have a track record of building consensus. if i can do that at the local level, i will be able to do that in washington d.c.. i do not care whether members of the tea party or for other party think. the idea is a good idea for
