there was an underpinning agreement signed. a long series of negotiations with the prior owner. $40,000 was paid to the owner to do the work necessary to construct the project. the developer did not come on and start ripping out? without permission. this was fully negotiated. if you have copies of those agreements in your materials. the existing side and rear decks were illegally attached to the old building at 50 lancing street. they had to be removed to do the construction. the development team put up temporary shoring in order to keep the debt in place. the intent was, once the project was finished, we would come in, talk, figure out what needs to be done, and build to a new deck. we will do a bunch of work that we do not even have to do. and you will see copies of letters are attached to my brief that show a series of negotiations over the years. something was mentioned about confidential discussions. those are my letters. i authorized to show you them. we said we would do all the work for them, just let us onto the propert

they did the underpinning with very complex drawings. you cannot yank this out without being concerned about stability. there is no reference from any engineer who has any experience in underpinning. we do not want to destabilize this house. thank you. vice president garcia: did you want to speak before? >> i just wanted to say thank- you. i really nervous. this has been going on -- i am body of frazier -- claudia frazier. i inherited this from my dad when he passed away. i am grateful that my tenant has been patient, because we have tried to work with them and things just have not been very truthful. we never gotten to the point where we have to hire an attorney. i just want my tenant happy, i want the place safe. the promises that they made to my father, i want them to take care of things they said there would take care of and i'm asking for your help on that. thank you. >> in the respondents brief, you refer to some unreasonable demands made by the appellant. >> i want to be careful commenting about confidential settlement agreements

a little bit of history -- our project has had shoring and underpinning done on it. there is a permit to do work on their side of the property line, but they have underpinned our building under a permit. that altered our deck. they talked about tearing the deck in the back down. along the side property line, they altered our debt and done a temporary shoring. the current debt is the only way in for the tenant. it is along the canal supported all of this form work. my brief comment is that it appears their work crosses the property line, because they are talking about doing work the was permited on a permit the was filed on our property. i have gone out and look at the front deck. there is you about an authorized agent -- the junius brief comments that this work does not cross the property line. we are not expecting the stability of the deck, which is concerning me, because they mention a six-foot vertical wall. are they taking down 6 feet? and that they are the authorized agent. we had a conversation in the hall. it will make a clarification about their position. i d

he left debris among the underpinning at the back. the notice of violation preferences a two by four wall. i am a little bit confused from reading that. i do not know what that means. i'm just reading through the brief as well. i will be available for any questions if you have them. vice president garcia: what is the second one that's violation monitoring -- what does that mean? >> i do not know. vice president garcia: had you go from looking at this to all this involves is removing some what it? how'd you get to that? >> the contractor did not finish the work, left debris and underpinning on the back. sometimes if you're building a building and cannot get in next door, you have to move on. but you really should not -- you need to work together with the neighbors to try to get this piece of wood out of there. agreement states that it needs to be removed. as you all know, in san francisco, when there is an existing building, sometimes decks rest on a neighbor's property. all of a sudden, someone decides it wants to demolish the buildin

that that is happening but secondly they also have to be resolved by the european economy which underpins underlies our financial system that by that economy strengthened by reformed by growing by jobs creation. off the crisis of two thousand and eight the g twenty was concerned. to be to become to be the main mechanism main instrument. problem self-serving financial problem solving management problems on the continent after the summit in france that they are going to just take place do you agree that this mission is being fulfilled by the g twenty but i think they will be wrong to place to place an order to emphasis on the g twenty the g twenty clearly has a very critical a very important role to play in the overall management of the global economy but there are of course very many countries who are not part of the of the g twenty i think one of the lessons that is emerging from this period of economic turbulence is perhaps the necessity to look again at the international financial institutions and monetary institutions that are in place to look to see how they can be reformed and how a

where their month is they have established their various loans which are necessary to support to underpin the euro and have taken a succession of decisions which are aimed at securing the future of the euro the future of financial stability in europe and the future of the european economy oh yes of course there are there are difficulties and we've seen difficulties even in recent times and in some countries but there is a collective will in europe to deal with those difficulties and to ensure that we succeed so you are confident in the future yes i am confident i mean europe europe is very strong very big markets in europe we're talking about five hundred million people there is a strong of cohesion across the twenty seven number states of the of the european union. there are there are measures that have to be taken there are decisions that have to be made there are reforms that are have to be pursued collectively in the european union i need additional member states as far as our lives is concerned we are taking those reform measures we are pressing ahead with the things that need to be

the people who created the ideas that underpin our modern world. going back in times of the computer pioneers were utterly forgotten like carl savage and his partner and protege, data by run. the pilot's daughter in the nineteenth century in england who were great thinkers and never made any money from their thinking and never created companies but in ways that less obvious created some of the ideas that we rely on today in that. >> host: an awkward question i warn you about. i will freeze its a is not terribly awkward. when you think about the history of television, that was in the 50s and small screens and now we are where we are in 2011 with the tv. where are we on the tv spectrum in the information age? are we in the late 50s? where color tv is being introduced? >> guest: that is a great question. brings the back to marshall mcluhan who we talked about earlier. he was very excited about the way the existence of the new medium of television was going to change us as human beings and the television he was looking at was a tiny black and white thi

interesting, using the language of being underpinned in libya. >> realistically, no one expects intervention now or in the future. they are focusing on not just protecting civilians in general, but saying that the humanitarian situation in a number of these neighborhoods is now acute because they are besieged by such heavy forces. people cannot go out in such a sustained bombardment. many of the residents have said the same thing. that they have had no electricity or water in their apartments are either. no power, no heat for what it's cold, shortages of food. they hope to focus international attention here, perhaps getting some pressure in that area and the syrian government. >> thank you very much. still to come on "gmt," we have the first results of a major study by a major children's charity. . >> at least 1000 tourists are stranded in the foothills of mount everest because bad weather. hotels are overflowing and food is running out. andrea nicholas reports. >> the himalayas bring tens of thousands of climbers every year. 1000 tractors have been stranded in the foothills, after their fli

i said the form work that was permitted under the underpinning agreement, that is probably on 15 guy place. that is not in dispute. in terms of the president of the hoa, i told you that was a typo. but he is the president of the management company and the letter was clear that he has authority. that is a red herring. why should you of all the permit? a lot of things have been said. this is a single issue. i think you should all voted because it was properly issued. it is being used by the appellant as leverage in a civil proceeding, which is not appropriate. i think you should upfolded because dbi properly looked at it and made a decision. i am telling you that, obviously, anyone who goes in and does work on a piece of property, if that war was one to be connected to something that was caused structural problems, that contractor would be moving and acting at their own risk. i can assure you that access will be legally and properly obtained before there is any work done on 15 guy place. i want to make clear that we have tried for almost three years to work out an agreement with the ow

the energy stock rally was underpinned by the continued rally in crude oil. crude climbed almost $2 today to over $97 per barrel, it's highest price since august. in healthcare, a first for merck in almost a decade. shareholders will get paid a little more to hold the stock. the drug giant boosted its dividend for the first time in seven years. the last dividend hike was before merck pulled painkiller vioxx off the market. shareholders will now collect 42 cents per share per quarter; that's up from 38 cents a quarter. the dividend boost certainly boosted merck stock. shares jumped more than 3%. volume was strong with the stock moving up close to its october high. the house of the mouse delivered better than expected earnings after the close tonight. walt disney beat estimates by four cents per share. it's tv and theme park businesses continue to show strong results, and those were joined by its film business last quarter, thanks to movies "the help" and "the lion king 3d." disney stock had buyers ahead of the news, up 2.5 % during the regular session. the sto

season is over, and the crops may be out of the fields, but the booming business of agriculture underpins an iowan economy growing faster and with a lower unemployment rate than the nation's. during our visit to iowa this week, we had a chance to talk with governor terry branstad. in tonight's "how to fix the economy", the governor tells us how his state's economy has outpaced much of the rest of the nation. >> we are benefited by the fact that agriculture is an important part of our economy. i was governor in the 80s when agriculture was the weakes part of the economy, the farm crisis. now we're selling, you know, we have record prices for corn and soybeans, also cattle and hogs are doing well, we're the number one egg producing state. all those things are good. but also we're investing in research and biotechnology, looking for the opportunity toed avalue to what we produce through bio sciences. and also we're strong in the insurance and financial services. >> reporter: in the domestic economy whirlpool announced it's closing a plant in arkansas. whirlpool purchased maytag with the big

united states which has been fiscal our it's much like the press and every other institution that underpins our democratic republic it's been fiscal eyes public discourse is a spectacle so to or is a protest it's a spectacle but with the problems that we have the entrenched corruption that is essentially just destroying our democratic republic we can't afford to go out there buy a rubber bracelet and then call it a day or phone it in i mean we really have to save this nation we have a lot of a lot of problems that our nation's facing we're also going through a generational shift our leadership is completely out to lunch when it comes to technology and surveillance and and all those kinds of privacy issues information and capitalism so this is really actually a response to that i like the thank you for coming on the show that was founder of us day of rage dot org aleck's o'brian and perhaps one of occupy wall street successes is that it's a global reach from india to italy of protesters worldwide are chanting the same message are the correspondent on the front now he is here to talk about th

capitalism without an underpinning is pure greed but with the moral underpinning and moral people, itnleash free enterprise. the one thing that does give me hope is you cannot destroy creativity. you can suppress it but you cannot destroy it. it is like shaking up a coke bottle. you shake it up and one day you remove the cap and it will come out and we have because of these different five issues i mentioned been holding back the creativity of a lot of people and i am saying to government and business at two schools and churches, remove the cap. let freedom ring and watch what happens. identify and empower entrepreneurs. they are the secret sauce of america. we have to stop demonizing what is successful. we should make heroes of small- business owners. it is a myth that big corporations are creating the jobs, they are being created by 70% of small and medium-sized businesses. we have to identify and empower our entrepreneurs. i do not need to go into this in detail. all job creation is local. the government cannot create jobs, you cannot create national jobs accept temporary ones and l

. >> let me ask min about asia, underpinning the caution about the outlook for the u.s. is the slowing in china. how severe is that going to be? >> is nice we are moving away to china. >> an interesting comment. >> china is moving into a softer landing. inflation is down to 5.6%. it is still way high. export growth is high but dropping. it is roughly 4% of gdp. we have 9.2% gdp growth this year and 9% for next year. compared to the chinese growth is slow but compared to the world, it is very strong growth. obviously china is facing a lot of challenges. the global economic growth is slowing down and china has implemented -- implemented fiscal policy. whether china keeps hold for a while, i think that is the challenge that we have to be careful about, particularly inflation that is high. we will see of china will remain high around 5% in the next few years. the second concern is too strong. last year china had 47.8% of gdp. that is not sustainable. you have to be careful. if you slow down investment, how you make growth? that will be the second challenge for the chinese go

to underpin prosperity, stability and growth. this is the kind of fundamental reform i june 4.ossible to deliver it. finally, if we are to earn our living in the rest of the world, we also need to forge stronger relationships and countries like brazil, russia, india, china, turkey, nigeria and south africa. i have let trade missions to six of these countries, and the deputy prime ministers has also taken business delegations to brazil and other countries. now one former labor minister called this low-grade for capitalism. that comics have so much about what has gone wrong with our foreign policy in the past. we forgot old friends. we missed new opportunities and damage britain's interests as a result. i am proud, not embarrassed, to fill planes with businessmen and women and head off to visit the most vibrant market on the planet. i'm not intending to reduce international relations simply to a commercial agenda. in dealing with other countries, their politics matter. but when the politics are troubling, the answer isn't to do with politics and put the trade on hold, we must be

movements on easing of monetary policy in china and more of a focus on growth, that should also help underpin certainly in this part of the world. >> everybody's trying to tackle the rising inflation and low growth scenario, aren't they, even here in europe. >>> let's move over towards wall street because the markets there did fairly well year on the back of news that silvio berlusconi was saying that he was going to be stepping down once he got these austerity measures through parliament. and wall street is on track for a lower open when trading begins a bit later on today, mirroring perhaps the situation we're seeing in the first one hour and 37 minutes of trading where i am here in london. as you see the futures are currently indicating, the s&p could fall about 1% at the open. similar scenario for the nasdaq and dow jones industrial average as well. andrew. >>> okay, let's turn back to one of the big stories which has been convulsing europe now. and we're talking, of course, about greece, not italy. and greece may be taking a back seat for investors on wall street at the moment. but the p

could we see any changes to try and underpin its growth rate? >> i think there are a couple of things we need to keep in mind here, nina. one, this is a flash number. so we've got to wait for the final number before we see what's really going on in the manufacturing sector. number two, export orders actually held up above that 50 level. so there's still some movement in the exports sector. number three, and this sort of ties into whether there will be movement or not, certainly china has a lot more room to move because with those mching slowdown numbers comes a showdown in inflation, and that will lead to broader inflation numbers. will they move sharply in the near future? the betting is probably not, nina. what we have already seen, actually, is what's known as selective easing. we've seen lending caps being lifted, lending restraints being lifted to maul and medium-size industry just to help that sector of the community, that secretator of industry. unlikely to see easing of interest rates. we may see banks being allowed on easing up on amoun

meaning germany that needs to decide on how to strengthen the institution underpinning.have to contribute. they also have to carry part of the burden. this is not a burden that the ecb can or should lift on its own. >> and the united states, tall did -- all it can do even though it has impact on our largest trading partner, our banks are connected, we can watch from the sidelines? >> the u.s. has done two things. first, it has privately urged europeans to get their act together. when they didn't work, it went public. it started to publicly lecture europe which didn't go down too well. europe said, wait a minute, we're here because of what happened to you in 2008. i think the reality is that every country, the u.s. and others, have to hope for the best but plan for the worst. which means have plan b ready to know that if, god forbid, something really terrible were to happen to europe, how would we insulate other societies from this tsunami wave that will be coming over? >> you have italian debt on your books. what would you do? >> first, that is de minimus. we were concer

margaret thatcher, al gore, and reagan did it because essentially of a moral underpinning. but in full knowledge that he was going against a tide of sentiment in the congress, allies, but he did it anyway because it was the right thing to do. and the other quality that impressed me on a number of occasions with discipline. and you have commented on how disciplined he was about all of his public appearances and so forth. one was kind of funny. after he was attacked and was coming back with rehabilitation, we were on the way to center barbara and he came back to the staff compartment and he said i'm taking all of my suit out to mike taylor, and nobody said anything, assuming he was developing a bit of a bolshoi like the rest of us. and he said, i have added to 4 inches to my chest and 3 inches to my biceps. if and we said, get out of here.

people began to realize these disorders have a genetic basis and that strengthened the biological underpinnings of it. finally imaging techniques came available in which nora and tom are going to speak about that made it possible to visualize even with addictive and psychiatric disorders areas in the brain that are functionally disturbed. so now we realize that these are biological disorders, and we need to understand three things. what do genes contribute? what does dwibting contribute? what does environmental factors contribute? and it's pioneered in how genes affect behavior a we'll see how we can approach that using animal models so we're in for a terrific discussion. >> rose: let me begin with gerry fishbach. tell me about the notion of neurologicalystems. >> i want to talk about stroke because it points out how vulnerable this brain is. as eric said, it's the most complex organ in the body. probably the most complex phenenon that we know in the unerse. it's made up of over 100 billion cells and every one of these cells is worng hard. they need to generate enormous energy to maintain thei

all of it goes to the very structure that underpins the very scandal that you saw at penn state. and i think that's what scares us at penn state. we see things like money under the table, maybe players traded their championship rings for tatt tatt tattoos. then you ask the question, how far would a school really go? where is the moral line? and at penn state, you see what we thought was the moral basement actually does not exist. and it's much even further below than we think. and that's going to happen when you have a school like penn state that produces over 60% of the revenue, the football program does, for the entire institution. >> yeah. and that is the sad and very harsh reality. the beautiful thing, and i'll wrap this up, dave, that we are encouraged, i think, but the fact that we can begin to have this conversation and start a path towards resolution, not only of the banks that are too big to fail, but also of the ncaa, which maybe in our metaphor will be the federal reserve, perpetuating the large institutions. dave, we'll talk to you next time. coming up here on "the d.

it's an underpinning and if this is the world, it's little bricks coming out. so what is it when i say terrorism, we all have to be diligent. we have to be held responsible. we're on our computers and we get lax. think about when you're home surfing, right? you got many tabs open. you got your facebook open. you got your twitter open. you're talking to your friends, pop-ups are coming. it's a carnival going on. then all of a sudden, something else comes up, as simple as, let me your facebook, you have to revalidate your account. and you're not paying attention and you do it. we're smart people. it's not that we're less smart, but sometimes we're not diligent. we need to stop, catch our breath and the phrase they'll use is isolate the moment and really think twice and say, is it really something i should just happen hazardly do? >> rick: we were talking before the segment began. i was wondering if there are different age groups that are sort of more targets, targeted by these criminals, they feel like they have a better shot going after, say, very young kids, ma
