word disputed robert fisk oh those that territory the west bank and gaza disputed because that's what they say in american mainstream television that's what americans would buy are told all the time go ahead been to israel and i've also been in the west bank i've been to is on the west bank in the last few weeks and help the area see which is the part of the west bank which israel occupies the palestinians cannot even build a drainpipe on the ground there that area which is sixty percent of the twenty two percent of palestine that's left is occupied by the israelis israeli checkpoints israeli settlements the rest this little about eleven point seven percent is all the palestinians have got left this land is occupied and it will continue to be it's my view that will not be a palestinian state it's gone it cannot exist in the framework that exists now unless there is an israeli withdrawal from area c. sixty percent and there is not going to be i am certain of that and i don't think there's any intention of being it is occupied and it has gone and that is the point and that's what mr oba

is there just simply an indictment of neoliberal capitalism a certain model that has come out of the west during that say the reagan years. i think it's more the latter if you look at the debate going on for example in the united states you find there's a lot of anger at the at the bad steps taken by big business but also a great deal of hesitation about big government involvement i think the general view is the system in principle wrong by the uni it needs regulation it needs oversight and frankly needs more ethics but i don't think there is a mood in the us for a fundamental change i think it's projected more debate abroad about models particularly because the world bank and the i.m.f. and the united states for a long time was projecting a particular model of voice you might call neo liberal economic policy and that's probably taken something of a hit internationally ok sean if i can go to you care of this is exactly where i want to go let's look at countries like the bric countries brazil russia india china. they're sitting on the fence the way i look at it is seeing if we're going to

or not they certainly see that the the west the the rich west didn't go through with their own policy economic policies of being more frugal of be regulating their economies everybody else did it in more or less got through this but at the west it didn't so i mean what kind of message if we could follow up what princeton had to say you know the rest of the world is there are growing doubts that maybe things can be done in a different way and i mean from every sense in this just not in finance and economics but even democracy and other issues like that. well i think i mean i agree fundamentally with princeton i do think that. this is an indictment of a certain economic model and it's not going to change immediately think we're going to see change gradually and i mean the one problem with their present. kind of mean it's very difficult for countries to just do it on their home so i think there's going to have to be some sort of global consensus what we may see is the countries you're speaking about may have much more see the consensus is but i don't think that it necessarily is going to

to serve the interests of the west i'm saying that is what you hear in most of the world once we got to this crisis here a lot of people are saying we have to reshuffle the deck don't you think that's fair. well he has no i mean that consensus wasn't entirely. followed by everyone and the consensus was around zero more open economies and more open system countries that followed particularly an export oriented strategy south korea taiwan much of southeast asia and particularly china and now india have profited very well i think what's going to but the degrees of state involvement varied greatly within that consensus was more or less in force more on the poorer countries who are heavily dependent on the i.m.f. and world bank resources but i think what's going to change now is that the opportunities the system worked well when the west in particular the united states was an enormous consumer economy and export led growth paid off in very large terms we're going through a period now in the united states where we have to rethink if we can play that role anymore and even in europe there is

my inclination is seen the light on the self going to the building to the west. this is a setback that mirrors the setback of this project. my inclination is to up old the department of -- my inclination is to uphold the department. we do have that east side setback. i am also concerned about those west side neighbors not voicing an opinion and i wonder if i was that neighbor, i would be upset if i went forward and i did not get a chance to write a letter. i do have a question for mr. sanchez. the setback on the east side, we're talking about this set back on the west side. >> this is really the residential guidelines. my inclination is to support the department and to the planning commission as well. i am interested to hear from the other commissioners. >> i think we need to be careful. i believe the west side extension to the permit holder and the property line, this rejection was by the residential design team. i don't think this is reflective of the residential design guidelines. the issue of the guidelines in respect to the matching of the light wells from my

in the west you heard an interesting session just an hour or so back on the mountain watershed issue and of course, one of the principal differences there is snow lines become compared to present day or the climate that are tradition based on snow climbs are going to be higher and they raise about half a kilo meter or so degrees celsius. 6 degrees,c, perky lom tear. i don't want to try to do this on the podium. that has the effect of reducing the natural reservoir snow we could usually use in spring and summer and liberates more water immediately which is the flood water that you heard the director of the california water resource s talk about. we saw the global average picture but this is what's happened in the west part of america since world war ii, we've seen this large area - this happens to be a time averaged march, april and may. that's our classical springtime in climate terms. this red shading means we've warmed welltive to a longer term average by something like a degree celsius to as much as two or three degrees celsius and that's in central or west canada. so, we have see

first is the embarcadero on the west side. we propose a number of strategies to do that. the department recommends widening the west side of sidewalks to allow for pedestrian amenities, such as seating, landscaping, an outdoor cafe seating. second strategy we focus on its broadway. we proposed two scenarios -- the first, illustrated here, widened sidewalks provide a safe space for cyclists while narrowing the vehicle's base to three lanes from the current four. the second scenario expand the corner treatments begun on the western end of the street and brings it down to the waterfront -- corner bulbout she is. this scenario does not improve the scenario for cyclists. the third strategy is washington street, a priority street, where we give the wind right of way, the four lanes of traffic. we see the opportunity to widen the sidewalk substantially on the north side to create what we referred to as a living street. examples already exists in the rincon hill development where wide sidewalks can already accommodate a number of amenities, including little pocket parks seating, o

it now sits in the speaker's office. and it is in my westnia corner along with a silver stray from senator byrd which i love, especially because itis engraved with thanks from robert and irma. in the beginning of my comments i mentioned a speech of senator byrd's on the house floor. that day, in 1953, he quoted the words of daniel webster. these words, when you come to the capitol are etched on the wall of the chamber high above speaker's chair. and these words would come to define his leadership, but he voiced them in that earliest speech. senator byrd said, let us develop the resources of our land, call forth its powers, build up its institution, promote all its great interests and see whether we also in our day and our generation may perform something worthy to be remembered. daniel webster. senator byrd's service and his leadership were more than worthy to be rememred for many generations to come. and as my colleague, mr. rahall said, it is very appropriate that we are celebrating robert byrd's life and putting him to rest in the week of

this will be very brief video from the west. they are working at the technicalities perhaps we could to the panel and i'm delighted to have this incredible panel with us. congress of california, the competitive enterprise institute and the wonderful author as well as the u.s. chamber of commerce i know you've heard a lot already from the governor and the panel and congressman if you wouldn't mind leaving off we would love to hear your comments. >> thank you, mr. bishop i appreciate the work of the western caucus and continues to do to draw attention to these very important issues and i want to highlight a few of those now. as americans confront the economic hardship of double-digit on employment and stagnation in many parts of the country they are feeling of a national leaders with growing distrust and why shouldn't they. the president and the congress have shown a blatant disregard for the economic health of our country. for example, last year tens of thousands of jobs evaporated in the valley of california when the obama admin

it ended up in spite of a further military operation -- so first of all we should make sure that the westank, if we end up in an agreement executed will not be filled with rockets, that the terror wave that caused the loss of life of thousands in israel ended up with a major operation, will not repeat itself from 2001 to 2003, the wave of terror will not repeat itself and that any geopolitical major changes will be dealt with properly -- or could be dealt with properly by israel. that's tough demands. could be solved, i believe, by the palestinians, might be solved i believe in a more smooth way within the context of regional structure of moderate states -- america, the europeans, israel, facing against the radical terror, israel has hegemonic ambitions and the like -- >> charlie: you have said that your responsibility is to the history of the people of israel and to the state. you are charged with a responsibility for the future as defense minister, as a former prime minister, you have taken risks. risk. do you believe that you could convince the israeli people that the risks you were ta

reduce greenhouse gases and third is how we think manager's have a roll to play especially in the american west. there are three response strategies i'd like to talk about. scenarios and strategies is our topic on this panel. the first strategy we think is key, is looking - not just about the impacts of our climate change on our existing cl climate change but looking how it effects the tools into the future. looking forward and how it will effect the tools available to us in the future. the next strategy is integrated water ma'am meant and third one, is inbe greating energy in water issues. let's start just for a moment and talk about what we know are likely impacts of climate change and what that means on how water manager's tools will perform. a number of folks mentioned that they would see more evaporation, that means keeping this patch of green on green will take more than it did today. that means investment today in conservation and agriculture conservation. things that effect directly or indirectly evaporation transfers will save more tomorrow. they will perform bet er the future than tod

complete solution to the problem it's now much too late to happen i mean israel's colonization of the west bank is is about forty two percent of the land area and it's stretching so there are now in my view only two possible outcomes. either there will eventually be a one state solution and which as i've said jews and arabs have equal rights but in my view zionism will never allow that to happen because it amounts to the de nies ation palestine. i think israel's leaders will invent a pretext to drive the palestinians off the west bank and into jordan syria or ever . and the blood will flow the west bank will be sowed with blood and it will be mostly palestinian blood. and if there be honest reporters around they will call it a zionist holocaust now i fear that's where we're going because that wouldn't be the end of the story. it would so inflame. a muslim masses that you would be opening the pandora's box of a much wider conflict well as i think i've suggested earlier the only person with the real power to try to influence israel to behave in its own best interest as well as those of the w

i would like to start on the far east coast. i'm a west coast person and i'm from california, but there is another side to the continent. they would like to say it's the right side and sometimes they call california the left side. but my colleague from the great state of pennsylvania would like to in form us about what's going on in pennsylvania and more specifically in the philadelphia area. if you would, sir. mr. fattah: i thank our leader on this effort focusing on which matters, manufacturing-based jobs. in philadelphia, we have 1,300 manufacturers and in your package of bills which i'm happy to be a co-sponsor of, you focus in on closing tax loopholes, dealing with the question of mass transit, bus, rail and energy systems. i want to spend a few minutes -- we have among our -- the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from colorado rise? mr. perlmutter: i thank my friend for yielding. i send to the desk a privileged report from the committee on rules for filing under the rule. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will

they did real poorly against the west of the west. 9 nines, 20 -- 9 losses -- 9 wins, 20 losses. >>> looking to start turning it around again. not only l.a. but the rest of the west. >> we have to play against our division. we've been playing really good against everybody else but our division we have to go out and take two out of three. >> we've had our ups and downs on the road. if we can go out game one, bum garther in pitches -- bum gardener pitches for us we are okay. >>> bud black, he's the guy that took over for the giants' current manager, bruce bochy, back in 2006 with the padres. everybody keeps waiting for him to fade. it has not happened. >>> finally some action, some controversy at the tour de france livening it up for stage 15 not the kind of action andy schleck wanted, the leader, much of the race. he lost his chain going up hill. rider etiquette would have others stop and wait for him. but the defending champ just blew right by him. he overtakes that lek for the overtall -- andy schleck for the lead and the frenchman is now the stable winner but a little problem there

for each and every muslim to see and the more muslims will take the view that we are at war with the west hundreds of hate crimes have been committed since nine eleven and the end of the decade of fear is not yet insight. new york and the u.s. congress has been asked to give the green light to an israeli attack on iran and nearly one third of house republicans expressed support for a measure of backing a military strike against the islamic republic iran expert trita parsi from the woodrow wilson center for scholars says the move sounds a dangerous signal. we are reaching silly season in washington with the elections in november and for that there has already been signs that israel is going to be a major element that some republicans will use to be able to get both voters as well as finance donations to campaigns away from the democrats but the problem is that this is not a theoretical exercise at the end of the even silly season has real repercussions in the real world and the danger here is that signal is being sent to israel that actually if it were to take this action in spite of the f

the senate chamber was his cathedral, and west virginia was his heaven. [applause] >> and there's not a lot of hyperbole in that. every person in the senate, as my colleagues behind me can tell you, brings something special about them. i will never forget having privately criticized a senator when i was there the first year. i was sitting with the previous leader, senator mansfield, an incredible guy, and he told me that he said, why are you upset? and i told him about a particular senator railing against something i thought was very worthy, the americans disability act. and he went on to tell me that every member of the senate represented something in the eyes of their state that was special, and represented a piece of their state. well, if there was ever a senator who was the embodiment of his state, if there was ever a senator who, in fact, reflected his state, it was robert c. byrd. the fact of the matter is, the pick of the banjo, the sweet sound of the fiddle, dinners in the spring, country fairs in the summer, the beauty of the laurels and the mount

we are the largest nonprofit presenter west of the mississippi. we are the second largest nonprofit jazz center in the country. the present over 100 concerts a year for the jazz festival, our free summer concert series, and the touring ensemble. we offer a dynamic array of artistic and educational programs to youth and adults alike. we are committed to encouraging jazz appreciation on nurturing evolving artists of all ages. creating a home for sf jazz will allow us to greatly improve our service to our community. it will create a community gathering place that serves the neighborhood and all san franciscans. we want and -- we want a building that creates an identity that reflects the opening and fluidity of jazz -- intentionally welcoming and different from the massive, closed buildings we associate with art. the chosen site on franklin is because a large percentage of our audiences and attendees travel by public transit, and our students do as well. thank you. >> our project is in the hayes valley district. all aspects of our planning have occurr

that is how like the traffic is in the west bound direction. it could be because of congestion pricing or is very likely that the approaches are fine and your right to send the tail looks fine as well. in a little heavier than it was a month ago before prices went up but the bay bridge but on this band itself there are no problems. a look at your ride from the golden gate to the 101 southbound and the northbound as did very well there is much lighter traffic than the last time we checked in. the sfo is looking at the albright, ups, it actually stop there. but as the back to the bay bridge, but when one looks good along with the traffic and the bay bridge toll plaza has no place in either direction. james? >> george, thank you. baseball is not stopping at the mayor from moving ahead with plans to bring the oakland a's to, this is a look at the stadium and what look like. >> for the oakland a's to down the san jose, several things need to happen and including the most crucial event that needs major leagues baseball approval. after sitting in for m

the typical pattern of small lots up and down is the pattern to the west. east and north, there is a completely different pattern, which was originally warehousing and manufacturing for the port, and is now office buildings for most of the block. our design, which is very different from the drawings on the screen. i suggest you look up the ones on the screen. a design this shift in context that occurs on the eastern si de and a vertical element on the right side. this strategy presents a variance request in the planning code, which do not anticipate bob demands of the site. -- anticipate the demands of the site. the articulation of the building in several spaces does not literally follow it as written in the code. the view looking up broadway. then it turns the corner. it steps of the slope and then becomes the vertically- proportion peace related to these wonderful little buildings. at the low end of the side, there is a retailer commercial piece at the corner. the rest of that level is mostly below. the next level oup also has a commercial level. around th

that affects the people of west virginia in the best possibly way. washington is not a beautiful place right now. ask any of your neighbors. but it's doing the work that will make this country recover and be strong. criticism is easy. the work of doing the right job for america and for west virginia is very important. it's interesting, they call us united states senators from west virginia. and so that would appear to set up a conflict. and there are times when that conflict has to lean a little bit more particularly when you're discussing matters of war and piece, intelligence, assistance, whatever that they will shift more towards the united states but i find that what motivates me going all the way back to when i was a vista volunteer in the southern part of caunaw county was that it was the people of west virginia that got me up. but those who know us treasure us. and we treasure ourselves when we have enormous pride in who we are. carte has the highest of professional standards. that's something that's important because it's immediately recogniz

i'm going to talk about a shared resource in the west and my first thing here is all important dividing line on the upper and lower basin colorado line. this photograph was taken lo 1880's and you will see the lower right, the founder. john lee is actually my grant grant grand father. you might think it's remarkable to be a descendant of the guy, but he had 21 lives and by my count about 2500 descendants right about now. let's go to the next. you probably all know the overview of the river. those that never heard of the colorado river let me give you facts. 7 states and two nations share it. the fastest growing part of the nation by percentage or numbers. including utah, arizona, and nevada and california just on sheer numbers. 8 percent of the land area in the united states and it has 60 million acre feet of storage and that's closest to the highest in the world relative to it's annual flow of 15 million acre flow a year. it's about five to 25 million acre feet. there are 35 million people served in an enormously complicated legal environment. what happens after 7 years of drought on t

high pressure really heating up a good portion of the west over the past few days. it begins to weaken tomorrow. it will be a gradual process, so still the hottest locations inland, at least today in the upper 90s to 100 degrees. cooling off tomorrow into the low 90s and tuesday, 85 to 86 degrees. so there is in some relief in sight. the forecast model showing you some of the fog first thing tomorrow morning. party to mostly sunny sighs and everybody cooling down a few degrees from today. santa rosa, 84, fairfield a bit a breeze with winds topping 20 miles per hour. antioch and livermore, lower 90s. oakland, 9 and san francisco mainly in lower 60s, around 6 had. your five-day forecast, temperatures trending down tuesday into wednesday. in fact, by wednesday, the inland spots could actually be pretty nice in the low to mid- 80s. a little bump in the numbers thursday into friday. so if you are getting tired of the heat, temperatures will be cooling off, especially by tuesday and wednesday. >> some people are never happy. >> i'm doing my best. >> ing that you, mark. >>

the planning department analyzed parking lots along the west side of the embarcadero north of market street, seen here in orange. we considered a for free areas beyond the immediate sites in order to more fully understand the context any role the four properties can play in the embarcadero and the larger city fabric. the study built on the work that has already been done in this area, including the northeastern waterfront plan, which is an area plan of the city's general plan. the nebraska waterfront historic district, which is referenced in the city's planning code. and the waterfront land use plan supports official planning document policies, and it is related to the design element. the study consisted of more phases. community discussion, and listening to the public, presenting the department's initial recommendations, presenting the department's recommendations, and lastly, the study's final recommendation. public outrage was a significant component of the northeast embarcadero study, and comments submitted over the course of each phase help to inform the study as it progressed t

it is the largest estuary on the west coast. i hope this isn't an omen of all of the slides because we're going to all have to turn funny. it's the largest estuary on the west coast on both the north and south american continents. it's a region that's home to about 7 million people. it's beautiful, prosperous, a spectacular place. this is my beat. this is where i work. now, this is the bay back in the middle of the 19th century. the yellow area shows where the bay used to be, where the tidal wetlands were. it used to be much bigger than it is today. but siltation from hydraulic gold mining, diking to create salt ponds and duck hunting clubs, garbage dumps along the shore of the bay and frankly land fill operations to create real estate reduced the size of the bay by about a third between 1849 and 1960. that's when the united states army corps of engineers produced this map. it was intended to show that it was economically feasible and, in fact, desirable to fill another 60 percent of the bay. that was their intention. instead, wh
