i am looking at unit 2018 -- at unit 218, and it was completely different. that is the kind of thing i notice. i was still missing documentation. i ask them to send in. i never got any documentation except working for the owner, who sent something to me individually. i never closed the case. i never issued a letter saying, this is my final determination. this is where we stand. this is where you are. we got to a standstill. i did not issue any thing saying, your rents are wrong because we never got there. the next thing i knew -- i was contacted by tenants or two years. the one lady who was asked to leave and another who was having a lot of issues with the owner. i am neutral on that. i know all tenants are not perfect, so we try to serve as a liaison, not to arbitration. in terms of the woman being convicted, she and her neighbor contacted me telling me this was going on. we had not confirmed that she was charged the correct friends yet under the bmr program. it does seem unfair to even occur. we do not interfere with the vixens if someone is not paying ren

pro-united states means they should be under the influence of the united states. pro-iran means we will be friend together. you learn from our experience. we learn from your experience. so it's quite different meaning. >> rose: agreed. i agree withful that. but how do you see the way these governments will be forming in terms of whether it's egypt or looking at what happened in tunesia, in terms-- what does this mean with respect to islam? >> i think at least the minimum thing that islam is revisingtsel it's coming to the life much more than before. islam is revived in the social life. so we are very happy to see in tunesia muslim brotherhood is gaining. we are not after they copy our way of government. but it's obvious islamic sentiment is coming up. i mean just lo to the collective prayer, mosques, at theomen's, the sentiment. this is what we wan to see. this is what we think t is a good gain for ourdeas. you want to see the egyptian people, their experience of building a society based on their culture, their experience. we do not think that models from iran or

vice president garcia: how many units -- first of all, there are 52 units? 52. and how many are owned out right, and how many are rentals? >> it is not a condominium. they are all owned by winfield design international inc. vice president garcia: i am sorry. i must have misread that. everyone of them? >> yes. vice president garcia: thank you. >> surely. commissioner fung: several questions. the principles that you introduce, where they the principles of the firm at the time they got their entitlement? >> yes, sir. commissioner fung: a slightly different question, commissioner garcia, but since it was constructed that the units were rental units, are they now going to be marketed for sale? >> that is not envisioned at this time, sir. commissioner fung: i did not see much in your brief related to the findings by the mayor's office on housing in terms of non conformance to the conditions. do you concur that the bmr units were not in place? >> there was some compliance but not full compliance. what might breed has alluded to with the -- what my brief has alluded to

it is helping the unite.imately be about helping the united states and our sovereignty, our safety and our security. >> so you would continue that aid to pakistan? >> at this point i would continue that aid, but i do think that the obama policy of keeping your fingers crossed is not working in pakistan, and i also think that pakistan is a nation that it's kind of like too nuclear to fail. so we've got to make sure that we take that threat very seriously. >> governor perry? >> i understand where she's coming from, but the bottom line is that they've showed us time after time that they can't be trusted. and until pakistan clearly shows that they have america's best interests in mind, i would not send them one penny, period. i think it is important for us to send the message to those across the world that if you are not going to be an ally of the united states, do not expect a dime of our citizens' money to be coming into your country. that's the way we change foreign policy. now, if we want to engage these coun

how could i go to the congress of the united states and ask them to restore the money for the united nations if this kind toward the policy is what we get in return for the united nations and i ask the representatives in the united nations to think about what they are doing. [applause] we expect in return for our investment in the united nations we expect courage, and we've seen virtually none of it from the u.n. and protecting these 3500 individuals in ashraf who have written guarantees every single one of them from the united states government that we would protect them and who have been screened by the federal bureau of investigation of anti-terrorist squad and not in either of them has been found to have terrorist connections. explain to me, martin, what rationale you gave for what you have done which is essentially to sign the execution okay for 3500 unarmed civilians. that is not with the united nations is supposed to be doing. now, both representative kennedy and ridge talked about the visit of the prime minister maliki to occur in the white house. i understood white house vis

they will only be living in one unit. at least that is what they are uncertain, that they will continue to live there. -- are asserting, that they will continue to live there. thank you. president olague: project sponsor, you have two minutes. >> again, jeff gibson. when this project is completed, our building will be 85% as large as the building to the south, which some of the dr requestor represent, and only 25% larger than the building of the north. this is a reasonable ratio, a stepping down in massing and dimensions in all senses. the rear yard steps in. we have to transition between things and make it possible for development to happen in the city. i would like to push back and see this project in a greater context. the population of the bay area is growing. smart growth suggests we work on urban in fill in areas served by transit, businesses, and utilities. we need to bump up the density a little bit. there is a moment of discomfort for immediate neighbors. i am genuinely sorry about that. but we still have to move

states. >> first, the united states, as i said in my opening marks -- my opening remarks, the united states has provided us great support to get rid of nuclear weaponry. the famous program, which was called cooperative threat foredecks -- cooperative threat reduction program look -- worked well here in kazakhstan. frankly speaking, i could tell that this program was a real success in kazakhstan. the old missiles were dismantled, the warheads were removed, and the fuel, the nuclear fuel has been transferred to peaceful purposes. that is a great achievement of many years of cooperation between that united states and kazakhstan. >> people might not know that when the soviet union controlled the area, it was in kazakhstan that they tested all their nuclear weaponry and this was their headquarters. what the president did, even before independence, was to say this must go. >> absolutely. it was a decision made by the president at the beginning of independence. he decided to close the testing site in afghanistan and i tell you this size is quite impressive. it is about 300,000 square kilome

ok four is a construct that was developed for you know it's the united nations and developed for that which happened in yugoslavia after the west decided to pick it apart so there is a legal basis you know the shore for this but the legal basis comes more or less at the point of a gun i really don't see a justification for what's happening i just see one more act that's a pattern of blatant international aggression by nato in the united states kosovo has been a part of serbia for a long time and kosovo and serbia did very well together within yugoslavia until tensions were you know stirred up more or less by u.s. intelligence. art has been covering the events in north of kosovo since the protests first flared up this summer you can find our correspondence reports and al and alice's on our website r.t. dot com here's what's also online from rising star to down and out by the whole a man who world once ran for governor in the u.s. ended up homeless in ukraine where he'd go looking for love. the likes of moammar gadhafi and saddam hussein become the stars of a t.v. commercial check out t

the the great depression hit the united states and germany alike and we had f.d.r. as a president and they had hitler as a chancellor and we kind of saw how that worked out is that what you're talking about. well the german case i don't think is really analogous because the thing that made hitler possible was this immense inflation that hadn't struck hadn't hit the united states by a long shot in other words when you have to turn in several billion marks for four to buy a loaf of bread you know you're in trouble and a nation will do anything and elect anybody cue avoid that increasing spiral because it means starvation we were not in the same i mean there were a lot of people hurting in the united states but we weren't really in the same so what is a real thing i'm right happen here. you know they it's the interesting thing i mean the way it happens i think it was george orwell on my right who said when fascism comes to america it will come in the name of freedom it was exercising. or upton sinclair yeah maybe maybe. and that's what the tea party is about it's not o

unit. this is the morning shot. you can see the reflections of the sunlight on the roofs on the other side of the block. the only sunlight that -- that comes in -- in the summer and spring of the year comes in the afternoon and midday and afternoon. and i don't believe that we're going to create any new obstruction at that point. there is a large building on 5th directly behind us which is known as the sweepstakes building. some of you may know of it was sweepstakes home in san francisco that is quite large. i'm going to go drop the overhead and go back to the camera, please. so i would suggest that we have a good plan as proposed with section 311. we are complying with the residential design guidelines. what we propose to do with this side setback at this point, i think, honors the interest of these properties as much as possible. it's clear that mr. hesler's property is going to be affected by anything that happens here. our existing building is projecting to this point. so this addition

what position does the united states taken? and we concluded that was against the american interest to have china defeated even though we have no contact with them, and so we decided that in case of the war we would be technically neutral towards china and try to give it as much ability to survive as we could. we didn't communicate that with the chinese because we had no way of communicating with them. but what we did do is to step up statements that we would not be in different to such a war and we had the director helms make a speech i think it was the two political sides, something which in a low-key way he made that point and the deputy secretary of state, and then we began looking for channels into china at the same time, and we did a number of little things, for example, in retrospect it looks very minuscule. nobody normally can buy chinese goods anywhere, and so we lifted the restrictions so that as a tourist you could buy $100 worth of chinese goods. the chinese relieved some people and the occupants had been captured a

unit. i have lived there for 15 years. the light that comes into my apartment all comes in through the back. and as it's a ground floor unit, that lighting is extremely precious to us. we don't have very much light. so a main concern i have -- i was a little bit puzzled about if you are approving the project, if the recommendation is to approve which drawing there -- there have been so many drawings. and the most recent accommodation that was suggested was to build three stories and then one rather than three stories and then two . and i understood sarah to say that -- that she was in support of that. but it was confusing to me just which drawing she was in support of. i'm in support of one that -- that keeps the -- what is built to a minimum. there are -- i'd like to say 12 people who are very, very much affected in their every day lives by anything built out in that lot. thank you. >> thank you. are there any additional speakers in support of the d.r. requester? seeing none, project spons

my view is russia does not threaten the united states -- the united states doesn't threaten the military or they don't threaten us. it's time for the europeans to defend themselves. they are as rich as we are, got as many people, and so that's what i would do. >> host: bring the soldiers back. >> guest: what are we doing with guys on the arab river as the germans go across waving to each other. >>>> host: 65 years since world war ii. >> guest: same to the south koreans. when we were kids, we knew older guys, guys we grew up with were over this in korea, but what are we doing with 16,000 or 28,000 folks in korea. tell the koreans you have an economy 40 times the size of north creigh, population twice as great. we're not going to leave our guy guys hostages. you are the first responders in the war. the americans will not be the first to die in a second korean war period. the japanese, get over it, you guys, 1% you spend on defense? you have to spend more. we have a lot 6 stuff here to sell you, but you have to be the first responders yourselves. >> host: you can see now drums are being bea

these are not all rental units or low-income units, most are market-rate. 1880 mission, we approved the ownership and they could beat printing those for the time being. their intention is to be middle- income, home-ownership units which we are trying to get in san francisco. there are many ownership units in the area. this tiny project is surrounded by two very high structures, one of them is the armory. 1880 mission is 65 feet, maybe less in some areas. we have the exhibition that was sent to the project sponsor and it was asked that they would give this to the prospective condo owners, and they have agreed to do this. this is a list of all of the activities that go on, so they know at a time what goes on and they have to approve or be informed of this. obviously, this is important and is just like the situation where someone moves into the area with a lot of entertainment and complain about the noise. when somebody spends the money to buy one of these units, they would have to understand the neighborhood that they are in and the situation. the idea of a changing your activities is muc

states why don't the publish even one report on the friends of the united states. iran maintains that its program is meant to obtain nuclear energy for electricity only but the u.s. and its western allies are worried a nuclear armed iran could lead to a regional arms race and poses a direct threat to israel. what most people do not realize that even china and india. are considered less enthusiastic for sanctions are extremely wary because in aggressive iran nuclear iran can threaten hundreds of millions of people in these countries. however because the report fails to state whether iran's efforts have resumed or tapered off since two thousand and three there's still no concrete reason to think it poses a genuine threat likewise the report does not indicate whether iran possesses weapons grade enrich the uranium or the capacity to produce it to that and talk of military strikes could be premature unless justifying this type of action was the reports original purpose and that is what everybody is talking about well let's talk about what everyone is talking about if i

that's why the united states welcomes it. we've seen that china can be a partner from reducing tensions on the korean peninsula to preventing proliferation. and we'll seek more opportunities for cooperation with beijing, including greater communication between our militaries to promote understanding and avoid miscalculation. we will do this, even as we continue to speak candidly to beijing about the importance of upholding international norms and respecting the universal human rights of the chinese people. a secure and peaceful asia is the foundation for the second area in which america is leading again, and that's advancing our shared prosperity. history teaches us the greatest force the world has ever known for creating wealth and opportunity is free markets. so we seek economies that are open and transparent. we seek trade that is free and fair. and we seek an open international economic system, where rules are clear and every nation plays by them. in australia and america, we understand these principles. we're among the m

the united states. and that's the bill that senator menendez, senator marco rubio, and i have filed and i commend it to the consideration of the senate. mr. president, i yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: a senator: mr. president i ask that the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. the senator from new york. mrs. gillibrand: one of the ropes that i came to congress was -- reasons that i came to congress was to be a voice for our troops and our military families. they answer a call higher than any other fighting to protect our country, our way of life, our values, all that we hold dear. our men and women in uniform fight to put their lives on the line every day for us, and our job is to fight for them and ensure that when they come home,this they have an opportunity to go to college, find a good-paying job, afford a new home, start a family, have access to quality health care. after a de

which is changing so much in favor of iran and against the united states so if the united states doesn't gain anything by this and in fact i think it basically discredits the united states even further because this this on this portrayal of the situation by the corporate media by the united states is something that people can see through that now and you were talking earlier about iran strength in its deterrent capability but we also have to look at. security the importance put on israel's security how threatened does iran feel by all sorts of aggressive rhetoric that's coming its way i don't think that the iranians feel concerned at all. pointed out israel doesn't have the capability to carry out a major attack on the country yet israel is highly vulnerable if you have the israel and support of the u.s. for example it's not just israel here going up against iran. well again three things really one is that the documents themselves showed to the world to public opinion outside of the west especially that this whole situation is based on a dishonest foundation and that will not work to the

states expulse them over five hundred dollars and people expose from the united states i mean if if we had a media that was at all honest this would have been a front page this would have been hotly discussed obama is raising a baby and dollars for his reelection campaign and he's made a statement which woods demonstrates what lou respect he has for the people he's made a statement we're not going to take any money from special interest well i'll tell you the billion dollars is coming from special interest. and and so he can tell you looking right that you are the with gearing up to attack iraq how serious is that the irresponsible. and the lies not i don't have to i'm not telling you anything new circles he says he's a liar so in my humble status as a private citizen that i tell you did it and yahoo is a liar is not nothing new but he is a liar because he's made statements about iran that are absolutely we take kilis and all it is is to create the fear for the people within israel he is part of the george bush syndrome that is create a bunker mentality and create fear because with

the new century is probably going to rth will be china and the united states. the great economies that are growing are in asia, where i disagree with you is you need a bifurcation here because the southeast asian countries, japan, korea, other nations, are deeply apprehensive over the ways of china, which is behaving like the kaiser's germany at the beginning of the last century. so i think you'll see sort of a coalescing of these countries around the united states, and a hope that the united states will remain militarily, economically and every other way committed to asia and that's what obama and mr. pen eta are trying to do. >> which kaiser. >> kaiser wilhelm. the second. >> what year did he die? >> early 1950s but had a bad year in 1918. >> pretty well. >> the u.s. presence is welcomed in this area of the world because we do balance off a rising china. and if you look at the european economies, they're all struggling, asian economies are booming, and i think the -- white house, administration, certainly recognizes 21st century belongs to asia, and not to eu

power of the american in the region order came from the united states when the president of the united states and. the opposition. lay down their arms and continued. syrian army the gulf country they're not looking. because they don't have one and the united states cannot talk about democracy because there are crimes in iraq and the other part of the world the visible so here we look at the west is interesting in its interest and keep in the balance they lost iraq they want to compensate for it in syria and now it's actually bush and iraq could play their dirty. to nearby iran now where moscow says sanctions have outlived their usefulness and insists it won't support any additional measures against the islamic state a statement from russia's foreign minister follows the diplomatic fallout in the international community over eight u.n. report it suggested to iran could be developing a nuclear weapon and the policy director of the national iranian american council has told me earlier that the new sanctions would be counterproductive and could damage the world economy. there's two paths h

there is no access from the street to the unit. so i'm not sure that we need to know the special restriction if the commission feels we should do that. i'm certainly ok with it. but since the door has been removed and there is a half bath downstairs -- i think that's a half bath, maybe that's a shower down there. i'm not sure what that is. but i would move to approve what could be considered the revised sight. yeah. and take d.r. and approve the project with your revised sight plan as indicated by the green tab sheets a, 1 through a 8. >> second. reason on the motion to approve or excuse me to take d.r. approve the revision commissioner antonini? >> aye. >> commissioner moore? >> >> aye. commissioner miguel? >> and president olague? >> aye. that passes 7-0. and i'm the 12 for case 08.91 dddd or 3134 golf street, an abbreviated discretionary review. >> good afternoon, commissioners, i'm david lindsay from department staff and i'll be presenting this case today. >> the case before you is for request for discretionary review of a proj

i honestly think that the approach to the united nations is less about membership of palestine in the united nations and more of challenging the west and the ability to walk the walk over to speak paradigm what we're seeing is forty four years of the west specifically the united states making a case for two states but in the first real test of bringing two states about has failed to move it forward and i think what is at stake is much more than just the membership issue but rather the entire two state paradigm and that's dangerous i believe u.s. foreign policy as it relates to this issue has been hijacked by a pro israeli lobby inside u.s. politics and i don't believe the united states is acting in its interests by ignoring this big which is exactly in line with what it has been calling for not only for forty four years but for twenty intense years of not bilateral negotiations president a bass has basically put on the table very u.s. position and is asking them to vote for it and they refuse and that leaves the palestinians with very few options to keep the two state solution alive j

i am excited to see this unit come to fruition.hank the chief for making sure we reorganize properly with the future in mind. i am glad to begin the ribbon cutting and allow everyone to see what we have done and for the committee to know that we're working hard to increase -- for the community to know that we're working hard to increase the resources for them. [applause] >> thank you, mr. mayor. we have the president of the police commission. >> it is great to see the collaboration between the commission, the mayor's office, the police department, the district attorney's office. it will increase the expertise our officers have. it will streamline the process in terms of managing the units. we're looking at losing a lot of officers to retirement. this is an excellent idea to train them in new areas. we owe it to the precious crown jewels of our city. this is a great place for children to come and a great place for women to feel comfortable. i know the most domestic violence cases, the victims may decide not to cooperate. the results

based on international resolutions and international law if the united states cannot implement united nations resolutions and align itself with international law then it leaves the palestinians with very few tools in the toolbox to move this issue forward pretty pretty what is are three thingy that we're all told are there not just briefly surely it's all about israel talking directly with the palestinians the palestinians talking directly with israel that's exactly what the international community wants to see is this deadlock going to when are we going to see those talks happening briefly and we've done that for the last eighteen years only to see israeli settlements in the west bank increase only to see the suffocation of our economy by the israeli occupation the palestinians having given twenty years to negotiations with the israelis have come to the conclusion that they are not interested in allowing a state to emerge in palestine so we have tried negotiations and if one wants to actually read the documents that were signed between the palestine liberation organization and israel

the united states is benefitting as well.obs are being created in the united states and not just in china. right now things are out of kilter. that is something that is shared across the board as we saw with the recent vote on the chinese currency issue in the senate. leaders in the region understand that as china grows, as with economic influence expands, that the expectation is that they will be a responsible leader in the world economy. which is what the united states tried to do. we tried to set up rules that are universal that everybody can follow, and then we play by those rules. then we compete fiercely. we don't try to gain the system. that's part of what leadership is about. china has the opportunity to be the same type of leader as the world's second largest economy that will be important not just for this region but for the world. that requires them to take responsibility to understand their role is different now than it might have been 20-years ago or 30 years ago where if they were breaking some rules, it didn't
