and takes place when the working mass agains. we'll see that, i would say, within the next 15 to 20 minutes. john, you know, we talked about this earlier. what do you think breaks people out for an event like this? why do you think so many people have turned out today? >> part offite, the pop, whoever it is, is a big deal. making saints is always a big deal. destroegz saints is a huge tradition in catholicism. on top of that is the old john paul magic. we're talking about a special ability to connect with people. he took mover than 100 people around the world and you would get millions and millions to see him. certainly his big public event necessary rome were magnets for humanity. and that status he had as a rock star and the popular imagination, that's on display here today. >> do you get the feeling that perhaps they're longing for a little of that to return in the sense that benedict the xvi doesn't command the same figure that john pope ii did. yes. and we're talking also back seat a church that has been badly demoralized wit

the mass does not belong to me. the liturgy belongs to, the mass belongs to the church, and i have been called to be an official representative of the church, and it's not for me to change. it's for me to do it as effectively and as well as possible. >> in a statement, the u.s. bishops said there is "an openness and readiness to receive the new text." some priests clearly aren't ready yet. >> at some point, i will be required to teach the congregation about what is coming, and i cannot lie to the people. i cannot pretend to be enthusiastic about a translation that i don't believe in. i will say what needs to be said, but i will have to say to those people whom i love that my heart isn't in it, and i dread saying that. >> but for now, it seems, catholics will have to learn to live with the changes, whether they ke them or not. for "religion and ethics newsweekly," this is judy valente in chicago. >> we have a report today on a remarkable housing program in north carolina called builders of hope. nancy murray, who runs

the u.s. as it relates to mass-transit. our efforts to combat terrorism go well beyond any one individual which is why we remain focused on the critical mission of protecting the traveling public and the transportation system. tsa will evaluate and implement measures based on the latest intelligence. we ask the public to remain vigilant and report immediately any suspicious activity. today i'm here to focus with my fellow witnesses on the mass transit systems and faster railroads which include subways, commuter ferries, amtrak among others. the systems are critical part of the network tsa works in partnership to protect. they also unfortunately remain a target mr. chairman as you know having been the focus of numerous plots on the unsuccessful unfortunately as well as those successful attacks your note to overseas and others. a critical component of the tsa mass transit rail this our partnership, the partnerships we had in the industry and local and regional stakeholders. the dhs transit security grant program is currently t

but the massing, you're right there should be some more clarification on a piece of that. commissioner moore: you might have to to pull in the floor and not have it extend all the wayed to the tot outside. you might have to shape the roof, you might have to shape how that top floor sits on top of the extensive massing of the building. you're basically squaring out a block and you might have to pull that in in some form or another. it doesn't look that way. so that is where the challenge lies. it still looks very much bulked out. commissioner antonini: i would agree with i think what the other commissioners are saying. we're not necessarily saying to take a floor off but by scupting the upper floor, perhaps making it more in harmony with the rest rather than just a setback, you can take some clues, actually the building to the north or the uphill side which is the craftsmen house and actually they did a good job with the two garages, i'm not quite sure, the one little garage stands by itself, even in the new plan and i'm not sure if there's any way you can use any of that to

or rises to a different aspiration than what the masses have, then the masses create new, and whether it was, you know, from the jazz to blues to rock and roll or to rap music, it was that they had to create their own, and rap music was a return to funky-- even rock and roll, but funky beats-- and a return to artists who looked like and spoke to the needs and the minds of the people, and that's what t rappers were at that time. early on, you worked with kurtis blow. my first artist was kurtis blow. that's correct, and he made christmas rap in 1979, and i remember that when the record came out, it was successful in amsterdam, and he and i got on a plane-- and i had never been on a plane-- and went to amsterdam, and the record execs took us out and bought us drugs, and it was like-- it was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. i was thrilled that i was in the record business, and i was, you know, important, getting flown around, and i think that's when i was the most successful, 'cause that was an amazing transformation, just being able to travel and be part of a culture and

transit we have millions of riders every day but the reality is mass transit is probably the most difficult part of their transportation system to secure as it is the most vulnerable. been to london and madrid and the terrible damage done there by al qaeda you realize how much easier it is for them to attack mass transit and how horrific the tragedy is when it occurs. my point* today above all is what do think the level of security is and what more has to be done and what level of information sharing but also to get the debate going. we have to make cuts. no doubt and the government spending has to be brought under control and not $1 is wasted. on the other hand, we cannot be achieving false economies by cutting in areas that could lead to loss of human life which could encourage our enemy and especially now in the wake of the bin laden death, we have to assume that al qaeda or the affiliate's on the arabian peninsula or others are radicalized terrorists hear it at home like the self starters for the loan wolves will want to launch an attack. . . far outweigh

and we are looking back to the southwest and you are seeing an effort in the hospital to model the massing very dramatically. we're right across the street from the burnham building and this is a particular view and we are extending the lower street line of van ness and a portion of the building that rises to about 63 feet which comprises the large majority of the van ness facade, the hospital then rises up toward franklin in two-story lifts and becomes about a 65-foot building along the franklin post corner. the entire ivet the medical-surgery bed tower which is divided into a number of different components to moduleate its scale so that it fits into the bigger scale of geary it is placed at the extreme southern side of the site. what that does for us is mitigate the amount of shadow falling off the building site itself. it also has a very salutory effect internl by. -- internally. it provides the elevator platform in the lower portion of the hospital, very efficient as a way to deliver high-quality medical care and actually serves to shrink the overall massing of the building by the plac

and it is very clear in this view that the stepping of those masses we believe is successful and kind of garnering the height, if you will, of these buildings to fit into cathedral hill itself. so if -- in this particular rendition the medical building steps up toward van ness. you can see the gap of van ness very closely. then the hospital is in the rear of this view as you move up toward the crest of the hill on franklin. again the m.o.b. will be using a variety of concrete finishes, metal and glass finishes in the same vein, closely related to the hospital but not mimicking the hospital, we had a very interesting discussion with staff if you look at page 32, over the course of a long period of -- period of time about how these should be cousin buildings and not sister bls, so we wanted a character both compatible but at the same time each with its own identity. so the view again back from that corner at vanness and geary looking northeast, you can see that rendition with the medical office building coming up to the street and then the final view in in sheet 33. this is actually fro

i think that it would take the mass of the american people have to lose a fear that's been really impose into our minds by some of the mainstream media here in this country you know i've had the fortune of going to venice or the twice now and i can tell you that the lies that they tell you on capitol hill are the lies that they might say and some other networks are just that their lies the masses the people minutes will absolutely support their president and they support him because he's providing for the great majority of the people like the story said you know there in them in poverty they are completely eliminated in literacy their every single human being there has health care for free i mean it's a system it's amazing what they're doing in they're doing this so so so fast you know in this country survey after survey shows that americans do agree that you know the world has to be distributed a bit more evenly but when they hear the socialist word they get really scared if they do see what's happening in venezuela you know it's these totally unsubstantiated. claims of drugs and all th

should change its approach is to put more emphasis on trying to get real expertise and facts out of the mass media about war probably my favorite anti-war scholar is a phyllis bennis know you and i think that one of the things that we probably need is more people like phil more people like phyllis bennis i think the anti-war movement needs to do one much better job of getting the facts out to mainstream media and in fact i think that the mainstream media does a decent job of covering the anti-war protests themselves and what they don't do a good job of covering is the wars and what actually the united states military is actually doing and i think if more people really understood what was going on with us military would be easier to galvanize public opinion against what we're doing angela i guess you probably get in trouble for saying this but you know where was the antiwar dot com t.v. i mean is it is really about resources of mean just being able to have those i told you is very expensive believe me i know that ok but you know to echo michael's point i mean it's very good point you know you

discourse we're going to have the same problem we have to change the economy at the base so that the mass of people who produce the profits can shape how their you what kind of politics they support otherwise we're in for a long term decline did us leaders use to have more of the concerns of the people at their hearts or in their actions a lot about the role of leadership were they more willing to draw controversy make big controversy all statements and calls for action that leaders don't make today. i think so i think in our past as a nation we had masses of people involved in politics running local clubs building local urban machines getting involved caring about it participating we have seen for fifty years that as politics closes off from people as it becomes more a matter of money the manse of people withdrawal they vote less they care less they pay attention less they learn less it's a vicious cycle by now politics happens in washington and most people in america do not feel it has much to do with them they don't care very much that allows the politics to become even more dependent

this is a chalice that john paul ii, i hope you can see that, used in the masses when he came to the. he used this chalice right here. now, there's nothing magical about this, but the fact that a holy person whom we loved so much had it in his hand to consecrate the body and blood of christ and that's special. and lauren green is asking to take it home, i'm not going to let her do that, but i think this is a side of the human element the of this whole experience we knew him, we loved him and it's nice to have a holy hero not just michael jackson as greg burke mentioned. >> you know, the pontiff benedict in his homily this morning talked about a variety of issues about how pope john paul ii opened political systems, fogs, and dealt with marxism. father jonathan, you met pope john paul ii and you have that chalice and the meaning to your life and others, can you describe that. >> sure. well, a lot has been said about the whole dealing with the sex abuse scandal in the church and how the priests have gone through so much over these last years, especially since 2002, still under the watc

this will result in the maintenance of the status quo, which is the continued mass distribution of yellow pages. from my perspective, i think any system that requires individuals to opt out would by default undermine the goals of this ordinance. in particular, the environmental impact would not be adequate given the scale of the problem. with that, colleagues, i would like to ask for your final support on the final vote on this measure to move it forward. this ordinance is a balanced effort to solve our issues related to the mass distribution of yellow pages in san francisco. i would ask for your support. supervisor elsbernd ? supervisor elsbernd: one way or another, it does not change my vote on this. i hope everyone heard president chiu's remarks about opt in/opt out. i hope that we remember this when we have the conversation about community choice aggregation. supervisor chiu: if we could take a roll call vote on this item. >> supervisor elsbernd. no. supervisor kim. aye. supervisor mercury me. aye. supervisor of a los -- avalos? aye. 9 ayes and one no. >supervisor chiu: this ordinance

i believe that if the massing of the structure was different or the horizon additions to the building were in different location, i don't think the planning department and residential design team would have allowed those portions of the building to remain if we didn't feel that the new configuration and location of the massing of the building were not sort of conveniently in this circumstances located with enough separation from the adjacent property and appropriately articulated along the side. so, i want to make that clear. the example would be if they filled in the front setback closest to the adjacent property i don't think the team would have any hesitation to require that would be removed. i just want to, for your benefit and public, make sure people understand we are not condoning this type of behavior. we are taking it through the process that the city established. they did work without the benefit of the permit. they illegally constructed it. now they are going through the process they would have gone through from the outset in order to legalize it. yes, it is after the fact.

the masses of these countries in the eyes of the mass of these countries we had a great level of populity. our prime minister in that sense had the same level of popularity in the street of damascus, cairo or beirut. >> rose: why was your prime minister and turkey popular with those people that you just outlined? >> our prime minister and turkey's popular in the streets of skopje or... (inaudible) and even our prime minister was very popular in turkey and popar in israel before israel attacked gaza, before the time when we were negotiatingetween israel and syria we had good relations with israel and syria at the same time. so it's not because of this, it is more because of our policy regionally and principally under e policy. when there is an unjust, we raise our voice. >> rose: as you know, t criticism yohave heard is that in libya, for example, turkey was slow to speak out about qaddafi who was a friend of the administration. and now you're seeing the same thing in syria where hamas is talking about leaving syria in part because they support the people in the street and not the people i

and use it are able to do so, but do not have the mast over distribution of the yellow pages -- the mass over distribution of the yellow pages. at&t made a proposal in terms of reducing by a certain percentage of their distribution voluntarily. a am very interested in continuing those conversations. the proposal was made yesterday at a bit late in the process. i know between now and next tuesday we will continue to have conversations about where me -- where we might go. but today i am voting for this. president chiu: i want to provide a little bit of background. there was quite a bit of outreach made to various small businesses, as well as to the various still a page distributors, including those representing those for whom english is not their first language. because of that, there is a special component of this legislation that creates an outreach program to make sure that anyone who wants the yellow page directories knows how to get it. specifically, this program will be an bannister by the department of the environment, -- will be administered by the department of the environment, wi

tell the truth about the mass media. tavis: i was personally disturbed because i have great respect for the boston globe as an institution, as a paper. i am sure you saw this editorial written by the editorial board that was a personal attack on you. it did not wrestle with any of the issues that you raised in the article about poor people, about plutocrats. nothing addressed in the editorial about the issues that you raise but the entire attack on you and a celebration of larry summers. what do think about the article that did not deal with the issues that you raise? >> letter where he talked about the difference between a paper that deserves respect and yellow tabloids that attack person. no sense of what academic liberties are all about. no attacks on my professional quality, 19 books, no attacks on may teaching. teaching all the time, office hours for five-six hours every day. the only grounds was that i am glad that summer's ran him out which is a lie, because i reside. i decided to go to princeton. i may free black

about his holliness. >> reporter: as befitting the first truly mass media pope, the ceremony was streamed live on facebook and twitter. for an institution that measured its time frame in centuries, beatifying john paul ii a mere six years after his death is moving at warp speed. it's the fastest such elevation in modern church history edging out moth err teresa by 3 weeks. the miracle which earned john paul a second beatification was this french nun's recovery from parkinson's disease after she prayed to him. to become a saint there will have to be proof of another miracle. >> the church today is witnessing more demanding process. because you have to be able to have certified by doctors, by scientists that there is no natural explanation for what happened. >> reporter: in the u.s. victims of sexual a because by priests pro tesd against the beatification of a pope who presided over the mass cover-ups of the scandal. when the ceremony endedded benedict and his cardinal paid homage at the coffin-of-john paul ii brought from the crypt below the basilica for the occasion. then it was the turn

the conditions of the masses that we need to be focused on. >> did you want to say something? it looked as though you were starting to say something. >> i will say, he said the same thing i was thinking. people ask me how i feel about having an african-american president. i said i had ambivalent feelings. on the one hand, i know that he is only one man and he can only do so much, and he only has four years to do it, but we as a people have to unite locally in the city, and first, you start in the home, and then you go to the community, and our churches, where the movement began, in our churches. i still feel that barack obama is doing the best he can for one man, from what he inherited from the other administration. [applause] >> thank you. first, i would like to say thank you to awele and the san francisco unified school district and the african american center and everyone else involved in bringing this program to the san francisco public library on black history month. secondly, you were speaking about the constructing the narrative paradigm, okay? what indicators and trends

instead of being able to see the sky and the roofscapes of other houses, i will be be looking at a large blocking mass. the proposed 309 would have a similar effect on my next door's neighbors. several neighbors have presented a scheme that will provide them with many of the features that are present in their current proposal but will have much less impact on the size available to the properties to the north. these schemes take advantage of the natural slope of the block to reduce the height of 309 and nevertheless put its lower level below the elevation of my rear yard. this makes sense to me because it means 309 will not tower over my rear yard and south-facing rooms. i think the solution will be better into the way of other buildings on eureka street, conform to the natural slope of the land. whatever you decide, i hope it results in a much lower and less massive 309 project. president olague: duran ford followed by joseph quigly. >> i'm duran ford and i live on 20th street at 4437 and as a happy owner and resident of that block, i have a lot of happy memories in my back yard with my three boys, my
