the overriding policy statement, what is a good unit, what is even a small a good unit? i believe that this design, and i'm not talking about policy, does not meet the minimum requirements of functioning units from the bedroom discussion in which commissioner miguel take off to the elevator exiting discussion i mentioned on the ada general safety. it just does not work. in the attempt to meet the exposure units, which was an awful lot to decide on, the court judge has been made slightly -- the courtyard's have been made slightly larger. in the process of increasing the courtyards, the average unit i see are small. it is 20 square foot there. we are dealing with units that are average too small. when you have the smaller units and bicycle parking right outside your window, if you have them on the grounds, one of the units to see where the bicycle parking are right into the window, you are checking into a suburban motel where you have to keep the windows drawn all the time in order for those people who continue to pick up their bicycles, which you would like to use it for

even though the united states did not ratify that treaty, it arrived in the united states and it was discussed in the united states as the debate among african-americans about immigration back to africa as opposed to remaining in america to fight equality was reaching its last carminative stage -- last culminative stage. african americans and the ratification of the united states charter in 1945 and 1946, where african-americans publicly anticipated that the ratification of that particular treaty with its human rights provisions defining a new world order, a major prong of american foreign policy of the time, the that treaty coupled with the supremacy clause of the american constitution, which makes trees the equivalent of federal statutes in domestic u.s. law, would in effect emerge as the first federal civil rights act under the treaty clause, if you will. there was great hope and do supported that hope. the third such event i would mention is the rise and the global recognition of martin luther king as an international human rights leader in the 1960's. and we can spell out the st

they were never separate units. we purchased it as a single residence, lived in and from 1996 forward, and in 2008 and 2009, the unit was placed on the market. it was approximately 2950 square feet. we were looking for another,, and it fitted. we entered into an agreement to purchase if during the entire process. it was described to us as a single residents and as a matter of fact, it was believed to be a single residents by chicago title, by the company that opened of the escrow. there was a single price paid for it. the real-estate appraisal that was submitted said, per legal description lived the original report, the subject units as separate parcel numbers. we had no idea that it had not been legally merged. as a matter of fact, they signed the disclosure statement to us in which he said that the unit's work combined and that all necessary permits have been obtained. we bought the unit, we hired an architect and hired a contractor. a permit was issued by the city showing no separate kitchen either before or afte

if individual units are sold, the units have a reassessment. if it is not individually sold, we do not get a reassessment. that means that the city is being cheated. that is a huge issue. we need to get on top of the final certificate of occupancy. i think the other issue that came up is maybe the requirements, the law should be amended in san francisco. they are not residential. there has been a major implications in terms of revenue through the city. now, the mass. if you're having some follow-up discussions, that should be the question you should ask and the city attorney's office should be involved in. i am getting some things straightened out rather than continuing to push things under the rug. this has to be part of the solution. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i would like to tell you about the memberships of the planning task force. as you know, the task force was created by the board of supervisors. 26 identified in the legislation, one each by the director of the planning department and the transportation authority. three

the rest are exported from korea to the united states. the tariff that is currently applicable to exports of u.s. stands ates to corrkorea 8%. that means if you buy $30,000 car in korea, export it from the united states, then the tariffs amount to about $2,400. tremendous. >> so that will go? >> that will go eventually. that means less expensive american cars to consumers. >> psychologically will koreans buy american cars? >> as a matter of fact, last year for in-made cars -- foregin-made cars sold to the tune of almost 100,000 units. out of the 100,000 units, european cars accounted for share of that figure. about 70% were manufactured by european auto makers. >> now we're talking about adding into that mix american cars as well? >> it could be either adding to the market for american caor ams taking market share from european automakers. as i said, at the 8 percent tariff that is applicable to u.s. automakers will be gone, but the european and japanese auto makers will have to pay 8% tariffs in exports. that does create a price differen

nation pose how much power does it pose when the united states and the united kingdom my own country when they wanted to go to war in iraq when they felt that it couldn't be done through the united nations security council because of a veto from france and and other countries they just wanted to alone and they bypassed the united nations and the nations could do nothing whatsoever so it may be a talk shop and it may be a talk shop where certain small countries can feel their work for that particular five or ten minutes that their leader speaks but in reality in terms of influence and power they have none whatsoever when you think about that thomas when you the great powers have no use for the world body they just say well we'll go on our own and there's good and they can do it with impunity. the question is why did the united states and the united kingdom go to the security council in the first place there would have been an additional legitimacy had the security council approved they're going to war they did not that is the way the charter was written so that the major powers have a

trade is good for the united states. today the united states is the world's largest economy. contrary to the views of many americans, the united states exports more in goods and services thank any other country. it is imperative that the united states continue to open foreign markets. after all, 95% of the world's population lives outside of the united states. the economists estimate that almost 83% of growth over the next five years will take place outside of the united states. simply put, most of our future customers are located in foreign countries. u.s. exporters face foreign barriers that limit our ability to sell u.s. goods and services in foreign markets. often foreign tariffs on our exports tend to be much higher than our own tariffs. u.s. trade agreements level the playing field. they reduce or eliminate tariffs and other barriers to u.s. exports. the math is pretty simple. lower tariffs and fewer barriers mean more exports and more exports mean more jobs. but we cannot reduce these tariffs or eliminate these barriers without the right tools. in my mind, renewing tra

by unit. much of the work is systematic. our engineer is here. he could speak on behalf of that. commissioner peterson: i would like to hear that, because it is unclear to me. >> i am the project engineer. i am a licensed professional engineer. it is my opinion that this work is too cumbersome to be done unit by unit. in everyone's interest, the best way to do it quickly is to vacate the building. the issue, the code issues alone -- is building needs to be upgraded. all this needs to be upgraded. it is a fire hazard. remember the case at the fillmore. we do not want that to happen here. we need to write down all the ceiling and dishes in the building. -- rip down all the ceiling finishes in the building and install the surfaces. this needs to be done in one go, not unit by unit. commissioner hwang: don't you do one piece at a time anyway? >> that is the quickest procedure. commissioner hwang: you could take down three units and then the next three units. >> to get rid of all the house of this

the biggest difference between mitt romney and president of the united states, the president of the united states has unleashed its campaign strategy already and that is to divide america, to tell americans who are not doing well right now and who are scared, that the pie of america is so only so big and if you want more, you have to take it from others. i know that mitt romney believes that the american pif can be grown bigger, that it can been infinite size because of the american inji knew tea, effort, and character. that is what this is about. that they want to believe that somebody's future can be greater, not trying to did i vice an ever shrinking pie among the american people. it's been, really in the end, an easy decision for me. i know that america needs a new course and i want it to be with the person who i believe will be the best person to lead america on that course and that's governor mitt romney. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> thank you, chris. let me turn to questions that you have. mark? >> the perry campaign in the past has approved that and what do you think of the

but it's largely one way, from the united states to champion u.s. government statistics show in 2010. chinese fdi stock in the u.s. was $5.9 million, just about one-tenth of the 50 billion of u.s. stock in china. that grows moe more and faster chinese capital to sustain jobs. many americans reaction negatively to chinese investment, and for that matter, any foreign investment, even though foreign direct investment is, in my judgment, the up mat vote of confidence in our system. fdi creates good jobs in the united states. 5.6 million, including over 2 million in manufacturing, and the average salary of these jobs is 33% higher than the national average. but the u.s. government estimates affiliates of chinese firms in the u.s. implied little more than 4,000 americans in 2009. so, there's plenty of room to grow, not least because chinese companies have been reluctant to invest, judging they won't be welcomed here, because they don't understand the investment process. there's a lesson here. chinese leads the world in foreign holdings of u.s. treasury se

a lot of negative peers on the unit i'm on now.me here i have more of an opportunity to go home. >> we get up at 4:50 in the morning, will that be a problem. >> no, sir. >> it's a very structured environment. go to bed at the same time. there's no horseplay, absolutely no horseplay. is that going to be a problem? >> no, sir. >> 2100 is lights out, taps. there is no talking. if you were to be caught talking, the whole room gets up and does pt. physical training. would you have any problems with that? >> no, sir. >> how are you going to be able to handle taking direction and orders from other guys in your position? >> well, sir, i would think to myself if i listen to them then maybe one day i'll be able to get up there and be able to be the one. >> yeah, is great answer. >> even though this offender has all of the right answers, the decision to accept him into the unit is complicated. >> these juveniles come from horrible backgrounds. i tend not judge them but we want to ask yourselves do we think that they'll learn in this unit. >>

into one legal unit. much of the permit has already gone forward from the city on this so it would seem to me that this is something that we should do. commissioner borden: i agree with commissioner moore and commissioner antonini. i have a question for staff about the annual filing that happens with live work. i dunno if the zoning administrator can answer that, but who lives of those records? >> we will have to take additional research and get back to you on that. >> there is an issue not just in these sort of buildings, but not filing a final occupancy. what are the requirements around that? people can move in, but you never have to file a certificate? >> deregulation of the building department, they allow temporary certificates of occupancy which you typically see in larger construction. and they're moving people to lower floors, you have a temporary. commissioner borden: there is no deadline? >> i think i have requirements, but it is the building code. commissioner borden: i think it would be useful

the third, the siege of benghazi, all combined to force the united states, the united kingdom and france, to put nato in that situation. none of those conditions will be present in syria, none are present in bahrain, none are present in yemen. so i don't think that we can look at libya as a template for what's going to happen down the road as the next arab regime is under threat, and certainly gadhafi and certainly saleh in yemen are on the ropes right now. either one of them can fall within months. not gadhafi, but assad in syria. >> and, nick, to you firsting i want to go quickly through the group, mccain says he's confident the new government will make the right choices in a region they could strike an alliance with iran, with assad. nick burns you first. are you confident they will say nato the united states stood by us, we will plant our feet with them? >> i'm not confident. i think this group will try to be friendly with the united states and europe but it's a very loose alliance of rival militia groups. and the first order of business is going to be can they disband many of the ar

to the united states. according to the complaint filed today in the southern district of new york, he is alleged to have orchestrated a $1.5 million assassination plot with gholam shakuri and other iranian co-conspirators. now, the quds force is a unit of the iranian revolution yaer corps. it is also suspected of sponsoring attacks against the coalition forces in iraq and was designated by the department of treasury in 2007 for providing material support to the taliban and other terrorist organizations. the complaint alleges that this conspiracy was conceived, was sponsored and was directed from iran and constitutes a flagrant violation of u.s. and international law, including a convention that explicitly protects diplomats from being harmed. in addition to holding these individual conspirators accountable for their alleged role in this plot, the united states is committed to holding iran accountable for its actions. the two are charged with conspiracy to murder a foreign official, conspiracy to use a weap

i personally do not see that changing unit size, changing unit numbers, is a deal killer for me. i am actually quite impressed. i am going to make a particular emphasis in saying that. this unit does a careful and thorough job of delivering a smaller global units at high quality, starting on the small and at 130 square feet, and going up to one bedroom units in a manner which creates highly livable space. that is a complement to the architect. the question i raised with the planning department was are we consistent in the way we are looking at ground-floor retail, with iraq the last two or three years we have been putting the emphasis on being 15 feet. that has happened in the market octavia plan. that has happened with specific detail studies on upper market street and the castro. that has happened again in the eastern neighborhood. we have taken this discussion to literally every other product. this particular project, which can slightly before these other major discussions, is not quite as consistent with the delivery of a 15-foot ground-floor retail height, which actually --

we always endeavor to coordinate our political steps with these poor areas if the united states tries to veto or as stated by many american officials think such a step would greatly harm the expectations and dreams of palestinians in having their own state when i took a. look at not only palestinians would be influenced by such as the us pretty ability would be shaken because america itself adopted the two state solution and endeavored to find an end to the conflict in the middle east through establishing a palestinian state living in peace and security side by side with israel then such an amendment. think this step we have taken is in line with the goal the american administration wants to achieve and we also believe the american veto would be directed against the many friends of the palestinian people as you know the palestinian bid has got the support of the vast majority of the un general assembly and in the world. therefore we think if america vetoes our vision it would be painful blue to the palestinians to u.s. credibility and policy as. us to do friends of the palestinian peo

and the united states. judgment day for ukraine's democracy that was how some dubbed events in a key of court this week where former prime minister yulia timoshenko was awaiting the verdict over her alleged shady dealings in a gas deal with russia her supporters took to the streets in her defense before being dispersed by the police. three months of nonstop protests surrounding the case culminated in the biggest reminder yet of the orange revolution the two thousand and four uprising which made him a shango a household name. now as then there were tens of thousands in the streets naked anger and even naked activists this group staging another topless demonstration against all sides in the dispute but the main drama was inside the court especially after the judge's controversial verdict which the court has ruled that the demand of not to mention two is guilty under article three six five pounds three of the criminal code of ukraine and sentences her to seven years imprisonment and denies of the right to work

it would give the united states leverage to go back to the united nations.not in some of the other plots conducted overseas, is there some reason to do it here, would iran gain politically or was the calculation this is a place they thought they could pull it off? >> this is a radical group of people. the major story, in looking at government of iran over the last two years, is the increased radicalization of the government. ahmadinejad, believe it or not, an odious individual, is not part of the radical element in that government. the qud force, the revolutionary guards are. they are increasingly powerful. but they're isolated. most of them never traveled much around the world. and obviously, they have taken on, i think, more than they're going to be able to digest in linking the united states and saudi arabia, provoking an instantaneous crisis. it may be now that iran becomes the most important, most difficult foreign policy challenge on our agenda for president obama and his administration and the republican candidates debating tonight. these are charges

for israel, there's no substitute for the united states of america. united states is israel's ultimate ally, and has been and will remain so, but looking ahead in the middle east, five to ten years from now, in an area that is highly fluid and flammable where people don't know what's happening next year, never mind ten years from now, looking ahead there's just one state in the region which is stable, which is able to defend itself by itself, willing to defend itself by itself with a robust smi, a democracy never known a second of non-democratic rule, which has a citizens army that's extremely capable, and a country that's categorically pro-american. it's never switched sides and will never switch sides, and so israel is america's ultimate ally as well, and together, we'll continue to face the challenges of the middle east, and hopefully together we'll see this peace process to a fruitful end. thank you.

or done in the united states by the federal government? the way they are trying to solve the crisis of confidence is to essentially tell investors to the greatest of their ability that you will not lose money under any circumstances, and that the taxpayers cover it if you run into this. is that not the case? >> that is certainly the case, and that's particularly relevant for the creation of this fire wall that we have discussed. i think the problems in europe go well beyond the construction of the fire wall. there needs to be a fundamental economic reforms in a number of countries in europe, greece been the most prominent example, a consistent massive fiscal consolidation with rooted reforms that restore dinism to the agreement economy, ultimately, the european crisis can want be resolved -- cannot be resolved until countries around europe are able to convince markets they are going to be able to achieve the miscall adjustments and the economic reforms that restore stainability. >> if i may, mr. chairman, just a quick point. one of the pro

russia and the united states are no longer a strategic rivals. they no longer pose strategic threats to one another as we did during the cold war. this is a point that needs to be stressed, particularly given some of the rhetoric coming out of moscow. russia is known othe longer thec core that it has been for the last 300 years. you can make a good argument that all those states are more dynamic politically, economically, and demographically down russia is itself. we see the chinese penetrating into central asia commercially. we see the growth and radicalization of movements that penetrate into central asia and the caucuses. russia does not reliably control the north caucasus let alone the southern caucasian states, no matter where its military forces may be. even despite the current disarray in europe and all the questions about the future of the european union, it is quite interesting that the ukraine is toward europe quit despite what moscow has done to push it in the other direction. russia faces a time where it needs to create stability alon
