those are the only materials we have. i think we have advised the public as to what materials we're working for when we tell them we're discussing that and we referenced the particular case for the coiling. there's nothing else we have that's secret or we're sandbagging the public on in any way that's sufficient notice. i think we've gone ahead and the discussion is starred in a robust healthy way we shouldn't and i abort it at this point >> short point of order please. mr. shaw you didn't notify the public - mr. shaw >> commissioner keane i think my concern here is the same way that you got the materials that we got the materials that was provided to us directly i don't think you expect the public to see all the pleadings if it's the opinion of the city attorney it needed to be included did by other commissioner want to comment. >> i just only heard the bulk of the city attorney said the bulk of the information was shared you didn't saw all of it. >> there's one document it's protected by the attorney-client that's not po

in a sense the material -- the actual materiality of it is less important and the value of a historic wood window can't be rep licated in a modern wood window, but you want something that matches the original. if you look at the two windows there you see the dramatic distinction between the replacement and original windows in terms of the profile. then the second question, which is to show how a feature was there historically and whether it should be brought back. and this relates back to that false sense of history where you don't have conjectural features or architectural [inaudible]. i guess i wanted to dwell on some of those standards since we spent a lot of time on standards three and nine and had that discussion and maybe it would be useful to look at these for a moment to see if there are discussions. >> commissioners? no. any public comment? yes, sir. >> my name's jim and i'm with victorian alliance. this is precisely one of the areas that we are looking at constantly. we understand there's always a desire to be as correct and well documented as possible in seeking restoration

there is also inspiration that occurs outside of the building and just below that, there are or will be a permeable material that serves as the smaller band that exists in the courtyard itself. and at the ground space you will see some examples of some of the seating that we are looking to use, and one of the interesting, and they are all interesting and but, one that is sort of a dual function is the third one, which is the longer, wheel stop piece but it can actually when the plaza is not being used for parking, and can be used as a seating element as well. >> but now, i will bring patty lock up from ibi to talk a little bit about the exterior design. and then, i will finish up with the floor plan as soon as she is done. >> >> the view that you see before you is the entry view off of horn and robinson and that is considered the main entry into the building and what we wanted to do was provide the interests along the street scape that will blend in with the new development and also have some relationship in context to the building 101 that remains. and so we have banded some of the buildings in a rhythm, a

i also would update my colleagues on the administration's ongoing efforts to withhold material that is relevant to this nominee from the american public as well as it appears from the senate. unfortunately the white house refuses to confirm it provided the senate with all barron related drone materials. as i stated two weeks ago, every senator should be provided access to any and all barron memos related to the drone issue. but before i turn to barron's drone materials, i would discuss with my colleagues some of the other problematic aspects of this nominee's record. i reviewed the record. it's a record of legal reasoning and policy positions that are far outside the mainstream of legal thought. professor barron's record is even outside the mainstream of typically left-wing legal thought that we see in so many of our law schools. it's a record that reveals professor barron's judicial philosophy. and while that judicial philosophy may be appropriate for the ivory towers of academia, it has no place on a federal appellate court. and it's also a record that reveals professor barron's embr

however, there are others who are less scrupulous and suggest that a freelance go there and if the material is any good, they'll take it. you are only paying if the risk. >> economics has become part of the problem. a shrinking newsroom public, journalists losing jobs moons media outfits are relying more on journalists, from syria the the industry has taken steps to discourage free learns from covering the war. last year a handful of british newspapers, including "the times" "the independent", and "the guardian" would no longer accept submission, the work was too dangerous. they do get support from the front line freelancers register and a trust. they offer advice. nine months ago they released a statement asking freelance reporters to turn down assignments in syria. >> syria has become as bad a situation. journalists are a commodity and kidnapping - it's not possible for them to not operate. >> most of the freelancers know what it means to work in a war zone, but tell us that syria is difficult because it's become so volatile, and it's become so difficult to find who to trust. there are so

instead the project sponsor enrolling submitted new material on the merits claiming under the housing accountability act that some awful error of law was about to be made and the board feel for that. the project sponsor attorney assisting using that look at exhibit a all right. you're going that as marketing material the new hammer for developers that happens to be thirty years old and decided 7 cases none of which are applicable here. it's our opinion this is in excess of the jurisdiction and the denial of the public a fair process under the boards rules when the board accepted this new topic that no one had heard of before or discussed before or saw the materials before and in this regard the boards caused the prejudicial abuse and this is contrary to the public's right. this is why we're saying the appellants are entitled to a new hearing you had it right you had been told reduce the size of the building it doesn't sink in. and here's 13 sections and the missionary plan that supported that. they act as if those plans and policies don't exist they're saying it's code compliant that'

fdr went along because they saw the parallel between colonialism and their black treatment. materialsolutions to black poverty but not the right to end segregation or to vote. and after the end of colonialism, one thing you need to know, was the end of colonialism wasn't anticipated by anyone. it was a surprise it collapsed 15 years later. there were statements that the british expected their empire in african to endure for generations if not centuries. this was indefinite justification for the empire. after they collapsed, new parties found justification for authoritarian rule to be helpful. first there was the form called colonialistm that the technocratic justified and then a new set came on the scene. and they didn't want to give rights to their own citizens. they wanted to preplace the new empire that would justify their rules and let the autocrats be in power to solve material poverty. it used to be the define right of kings but in our day it became the development right of dictators. the united states was fairly happy about this because the autocrats make better allies than de

. >> some some of the materials that we are going to use are corigated metal siding and the screen will be a mesh, wire screen and some of the lettering that we show as an example of this is to sign the building, and part of the graphics. and the colors are meant to be just soft colors, to compliment kind of the bay area, and just some more contemporary choice of colors. >> thank you, paty. so, moving into the inside of the building, which i think was obviously wanted to provide the great design, but, sort of the interior of the building is where a lot of the conversation took place over the past few years and so we will start at the ground plain and this level actually sits below the grade and so everything that you see inside of the l, if you will. is actually front and hillside and so that is all, below grade. and then the exterior of this building sits along horn on the top and then robinson on the bottle and then patty mentioned all of the units have roll up doors and there is actually a light well to the upper portion of the site that allows access to those roll up doors along the

their attention to the materiality of the things of the world. >> this is a nice juxtaposition you have going on right now. you have a more established artists alongside and emerging artists. is that something important to you as well? >> very important in this space, to have artists who really have not shown much. now let's look at other aspects of electric works operation. let's go to the bookstore. >> ok. >> in all seriousness, here we are in your store. this is the first space you encounter when you come in off the street. it has evolved since you open here into the most amazingly curious selection of things. >> this was the project for the berkeley art museum. it was -- this is from william wiley's retrospective, when he got up onstage to sing a song, 270 people put on the cat. >> it is not just a bookstore. it is a store. can you talk us through some of your favorites? >> these are made in china, but they are made out of cattails. >> these pieces of here, you have a whale head and various animals and their health over there, and they are jewelry. >> we do fund raisers for nonprofi

the harmful product can you talk about the addictive and a half of the sugary beverages >> this is an area there's published materials that is compared across the criteria we consider for addiction. this doesn't happen for all people but what happiness when you become addicted to a substance when you don't become the substance you become depressed so to feel normal you seek it. we have an employee of the public health department that's addicted to sugar. if you take to this employee this employee will sound like it's almost this person is talking about alcoholic so this problem is there i'm a expert but there's a citation in the slide from a specific study i don't know if dr. chung has things to add >> i remember in college getting hooked on caffeine. >> yeah. caffeine as addictive properties so i've tried to use science to show a certain issue they try optimize how they develop food to build brand loyalty and take advantage of things to help us get addicted to food that's like the nick 10 industry. we know we're getting exposed to chemicals that have biochemical impacts on the brain and the science is emerging and f

staff recommends the following: the project sponsor should provide sample materials for the core gated metal and color and finish for the identified materials. the materials should be a matt finish. two, prior to the site permit, the project sponsor should provide a t profile. which matches the profile of the existing windows and would be the most accurate. the project sponsor is present and can answer any questions. this concludes my presentation and i'm available for any questions. >> thank you, commissioners do we have any questions of staff for the sponsor? seeing none. we will open up to public comment. any member of the public wish to speak on this item? seeing none, we'll close to public comment. bring it back to commission. my own request here, is first i want to commend the sponsors for bringing this back in the program. thanks for taking on that project. i would like to say about the corrugated metal if we can have a factory finish on the paint so it looks like a high end material and it would be a color that would go in the same color hue as the same building or approved col
