>> no, it's not pointless, unless it's pointless to not reduce the deficit.his is a 10-year proposal. this will affect -- this is not a six-month agreement that they had with the continuing resolution. this is a 10-year proposal. if we agree on values that say we are going to educate our children and respect the dignity of the retirement of our seniors and create jobs, and we're going to do so in a way that reduces the deficit, you couldn't possibly just buy into the cuts without the revenue and the recognition for the need for growth so our timing is affected by that. >> would you vote for a debt ceiling that has attached to it a package that has only spending cuts? >> that would be very hard -- what would it accomplish? how much deficit reduction could you achieve? you cannot -- you cannot achieve what you set out to do if you say it's just about cutting. it has to be about increasing the revenue stream as well. there are many things can you do in terms of, again, special interests taxes, and loopholes that the tax code is rampant -- just full of. let me ju

people would opt in unless they make a decision. -- people would be adoptopted in unless they make a decision. there were be a certain amount of inertia involved. >-- there would be a certain amount of inertia involved. >> there have been various issues raised on whether the survey is legitimate or not in respect to determining the interest for this concept. if i were to look on page 8 where it says interest in 100% renewable energy is highest in the northeast, i have to see from the outset i am supportive of this concept. i am not overwhelmingly confident in every area it is rejected. in the northeast, it is rejected by 52%. in the southeast by 57%. in the southwest for 67%. if this were an election, the issue would be defeated overwhelmingly. where is the support i am hearing about coming from? >> you are correct about the numbers. i can only offer my perspective. if this were an election, we are seeing a majority of customers in each geographic area saying they would not choose the 100% renewable product. however, it is not an election. it is a chance for customers to choose wheth

there won't be any agreement for such an agreement unless the house democrats are part of that, unlessomes to the table with 218 votes. but i think the president has been involved. he's talked about bipartisanship. he's talked about balance and what we do. the obstacle has come because leader cantor has walked away from the table because he doesn't want to deal with special interest, tax subsidies and the need -- >> the republicans don't want any tax increases in the debt ceiling? >> it's not a question of tax increases. >> sorry, they don't want -- yes, right, they don't want changes in revenue. >> what we're talking about here, some of the things that -- leader cantor can't handle the truth when it comes to these tax subsidies for big oil, for corporations sending jobs overseas, for giving tax breaks to the wealthiest people in the country while they're asking seniors to pay more for less to be on as they abolish medicare. >> in the end they refer to tax increases as subsidies, anything that changes the tax base or the tax rate for corporations or for individuals. but let me ask you

if you use anything that has galvanized or other it will -- unless -- thank you, unless it's hot dipped galvanize it will rust. people say it's galvanized but it's what they call electroplated galvanized. maybe it lasts for -- yeah. so, for exterior use, it's almost always wort the extra cost to use, you know, stainless steel bronze, brass or certainly hot tipped ga have a niesed at the lowest -- galvanized at the lowest cost and don't use an interior hardware on the outside of a building. it won't last at all. you'll be back there. and the cost -- people say, i'm going to save some money by using cheap paint or cheap hardware or cheap something. the cost is not in the material. the cost is not in the paint. the cost is not in the hardware. the cost is in the time, the prep, the installation and all that work. so, i always say, buy the best equipment, buy the best paint can. the paint is cheap compared with the cost of the painting job. don't you think? >> don't buy the cheap caulking, bite expensive one. >> another common problem which homeowners can deal with, this is a little flour b

i had cans won't show up unless it's gritty, unless it's real, unless it has authenticity. and there's only one way to get that. korpt sponsorship. whooo! (applause) wake up the cross platform market penetration. look at the sick line-up at bonnaroo this year. state farm, ford, miller lite, wheat thins. that's right, they got the thins. that's what it's all about, baby. it's all about driving your well insured minivan to have a diet lagger with a tasty snack that's also a good source of fiber. rock 'n' roll. now that doesn't even count bonnaroo's headliner, garnier fructis. known but the gfruc can crank up the long-lasting volume even for fine hair. that's why i'm proud to say i have staked my place in rock 'n' roll concert history. and sold that place to the highest bidder. this week it's not just "the colbert report" summer concert series, it's-- dr. pep err presents. coachella o 121-- 11. (cheers and applause) >> rock it like. (applause) >> yes, dr pepper the only doctor you'll ever need which is good because we have not set up first aid tents. so if you get a cut or som

. >> unless their is department will rebuttal. anything else? then yes, it is submitted. >> when i first read this package, it was interesting, because i thought i was looking at an actual and building permit, and as i went back again, it is basically a site permit. if you look good about in that light, the argument of suppliers. -- if you look at it in that light, the argument applies periods -- applies. it would not have necessarily been part of the permit. the water intrusion issue is not part of the permit. if their arguments over about, they are going to spend a fortune, and it is going to be difficult to tell where the water came from. the basic side to permit -- site permit allows a certain use and design, and that is not being appealed. it is not part of the appellants appeal. this is not a discretionary review hearing, so the question is whether those issues that are going to be adjudicated in some civil venue, not here. i think a permit in terms of what it normally contributes zero to what has been approved is still violenalid. >> i un

state law precludes they cannot go unless cpuc loses their spine, unless they start going after us. they are told to stand down and not interfere with our ability to promote unless it is violating state law. i have to say there is great promise in these numbers. >> commissioner pimentel? >> how will customer rates effective? >> i do not think we've gotten into what was proposed. that may be a good segue to that piece of the presentation. my take on this discussion is that excellent points have been made. i appreciate where commissioner torres is coming from. additional information could be obtained about where ratepayers are. depending on what happens with rates going forward, maybe the issue of cost will change so that the question is not framed in terms of if you would be interested even if there is a higher cost involved. taken in the context of pg&e having a monopoly on this market and given the billions of dollars that have been spent, it to the extent you want to make an analogy to a political campaign, i think we're actually in pretty the shape. we are in pretty good shape. i

the tenderloin does not want this hospital unless cpmc will open its doors to our community. therefore, i urge the honorable members of this commission not to approve this project without considering the benefit of the community and that cpmc must sign the community agreement. thank you very much. [applause] president olague: thank you. >> good evening, commissioners. i'm evangeline, and i'm a resident of the tenderloin for the past 22 years and a member of the tenderloin filipino-american community association. i am here today to express my dissatisfaction fort recent actions of cpmc slamming the mayor's recommendations to come up with acceptable development agreements and by continually ignoring the demands of the community for a comprehensive community benefit agreement this arrogance is revolting, considering that cpmc receives property tax exemptions from san francisco every year. as a nonprofit facility. in spite of being the most profitable hospital in the city cpmc needs to pay its pair share. especially people who are medcal recipients. it's not our choice to be medc

so unless any commissioner feels otherwise -- i would say not to have a meeting. supervisor mirkarimi: it's a busy month. >> thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: and to that question through the chair, remind me again of what the date is about us getting had some idea of the negotiations with shell? >> well, the idea is by the end of june we would be able -- by the end of june or first or second week of july, we should be coming back with actual draft contact. what i will be talking to mike about is a joint meeting towards the end of july. that is our schedule. now, you know, -- supervisor mirkarimi: can we talk about the process a second? >> let's do that. supervisor mirkarimi: it has to be approved by p.u.c. and lafco, right? >> that is correct. supervisor mirkarimi: then it goes, pending its approval by both commissions, to the both of supervisors, and then it is assigned to committee. >> i believe that is the correct process. supervisor mirkarimi: so most likely the budget committee will probably take it, it sounds like, or city operations, or what have you, deali

. >> unless there is anything else, this hearing was in closed. and our staffer has a revised report of the assessment costs. unless there are any questions, first of all, if we can adopt the amendments to report without objection? this is without objection. the last item having been unanimous, we will adopt the resolution. without objection, the resolution -- now we will go back to the other 3:00 special order about lombard street. is there any other member of the public who wishes to speak on this item? we have the measure in front of us. please step up to the microphone. >> this remained after the boom years because of it. -- a regular shape and remained a parking lot for the same reason in the 1980's. in the 1980's, the property owner, -- the city was surprised in 1999 when they attempted to contact the owner to find out that the property had been sold. the permits for building were filed at that site. and there are 30,000 people within a half mile of joe dimaggio playground. we have urban areas that are as dense as 76,000 people for square mi

you don't get elected unless you understand something about politics. what i don't understand, and essential what president obama needs to understand is the overwhelming majority of the american people do not agree with the republican approach which says give tax breaks to billionaires and go after the elderly, the sick, the children, and the poor, and that's just not bernie sanders talking. i'm not much into polls to be honest with you, but i think it's important to get a little bit of a reflection of where the american people are coming from. according to a recent boston globe poll, a couple weeks ago they did a poll in the state of new hampshire mostly interested in the presidential candidates, but they asked other questions. in new hampshire, i know because they are a neighbor, they are the conservative state in new england, and here what the folks in new hampshire said in that recent poll. 73% support raising taxes on people making over $250,000 a year, 78% oppose cutting medicare, 71% oppose cutting medicaid, and 76% oppose cutting sos. the republ

we are prepared unless you give us what we want. like a child having a temper tantrum i will go nuts unless you give me the candy with company in a house or burn it down unless you give me what i want. but what is an interesting point* is probably the first group that are hit hardest by not raising the debt ceiling will be wall street. i happen to think over friends of wall street alone will probably not allow employees to do that. [laughter] so we have to hang tough. the point* is it never ends. there bold, they are tough and very irresponsible. my suggestion is to look them in the guide to say for the first time in this country, if you want to foot the world into a financial crisis, you go ahead and do it and voters will hold you accountable but we will not keep seven during issue after issue. [applause] any other questions and? >> [inaudible] would the war on terror be more dangerous? >> i think as i was coming back to washington and at the vermont and airport people said this is a great thing. whined doesn't know how actively he

unless you have questions? commissioner fung: counselor, one of the photographs provided that was given to us tonight shows a photograph across the links of the walt. >> you are talking about the package of the neighbor? commissioner fung: yes. yes, just tonight. i am not even sure i am asking the right questions based on the fact that this is a sight permit versus a structural package, -- a site permit versus is structural -- versus a structural permit. as to the alteration portion, the existing structural framing looks like it varies in size. >> are we talking about this photograph? commissioner fung: yes. >> ok. these are the existing, and these are the new. commissioner fung: so all of those are new at that point? >> no, not all of it, because if you look, the new is the one in front, but if you look back further, those are not new. commissioner fung: right, and i guess my point is, the members sizes vary between the two portions of the wall. >> you are correct that it looks like is, that it varies, but on

the building code says when you build something with a permit and you're able to keep it unless the code retro activity changes. how old do you think it is? >> (inaudible). >> 50 years old. there is nothing retro actively that says that have you to remove a sign. is that correct? >> 24r was a case on there was a case on market street and we did it for signs and a couple had to be removed but generally no. once it's non conforming could remain until the end of the life of the sign. >> so generally that is the case with all building issues is that are you permitted to retain those that were properly installed with a permit unless there is specific legislation that says otherwise typically. is this a flag sign? is that what they call signs that stick out like that? >> projection signs. >> projecting -- projection signs and it's painted and neon and the required martini glass and you can see it's stabilized by wires to keep it from falling and the wind from pushing it side ways. the signs are regulated in the building and planning code and requires it for all signs and we will talk about wha

we don't send in a team unless we have the same amount of people and then some to back them up. to get you to gage what an incident is the guy with the big thumb. the rule of thumb is this. if you cover the incident with your thumb you are far enough away. does it look like he's got it covered with his thumb? you see the smoke going to the side. he's still too close. he's got to back up further even with the rule of thumb. we want you to view the rule of time, distance and shielding. what's time, don't stick around. distance. get far away. shielding means put something solid in between you and the incident. >> you want to get uphill and up wind. you don't want to be down here, have the /weupbtd behind you. where does the wind come from in san francisco. the right place is on the beach between twin peek and it is incident. unless the incident was at the beach. here's the i incident you want to be here. up wind, uphill . anybody ever put a fire out before by yourself. small fire. >> that's the good kind you want to stop it when it's small. george and i and the fire department will

most of the morning commute will be all right unless you're in the north bay. east bay, peninsula, south bay now drizzle on the coast but the system inching closer. pretty good rain. about a tenth of an inch to quarter inch already to the north. and then we have to deal with not only the front which is holding together quite well but also the associated low that will drop in this evening into tonight and tomorrow morning. our observer in cazadero picked up .15 already. you can see to just north santa rosa it's moving in. but it's cloudy, cool today it's going to be the forecast for many until that system arrives. rainfall .05 to maybe an inch plus. but 60s and 70s. very mild out ahead of it with upper 50s, low 60s especially san jose. but already in the low to mid- 50s for much of the north bay because you're under that system. right there's the front. you can see it kind of loses its identity as it moves south. then still plenty the low right there has to move in later on today. plenty going on for the end of june. give this system credit. cloudy, rain heavies

of course, it is, he said, unless you want us to choose which of our bills to pay. he said, "do you want us to pay interest we owe to the chinese who hold our bonds or do we pay the people who get social security checks? as nancy noted, this may or may not get the two sides closer to a deal on the budget, scott, but make no mistake, today was different. today the president changed the game and signaled how he intends to play it from here on in. >> pelley: thank you, bob. to see a country truly on the brink of financial ruin, look no further than greece. today, the greek parliament cut public services and raised taxes to fend off bankruptcy, at least for now. protesters turned athens into a war zone, and mark phillips was in the middle of it. >> reporter: these are not the sort of images of failing country that depends on the tourist trade wants the world to see, but this is what the center of athens looked like again today, raging battles blowing back and forth through the capital's main square. volleys of rocks and pieces of marble chipped off buildings and hurled

we in the tenderloin cannot accept this project unless cpmc gives the community what it needs. we need greater access to care. cpmc should increase affordable access to all kinds of possible care, especially for seniors and low-income families whose only lifeline relies on medical insurance in order to survive. cpmc must also support our community clinic so that we can provide adequate service to the community for the less privileged and the poor people. we want cpmc to address this issue by signing a community benefits agreement that is acceptable to the community. thank you. [applause] president olague: thank you. laura mae -- i can't pronounce -- what's that? ok. thank you. nella manuel, followed by lorenzo lastana. sorry about that. terrible. i have to practice a little more, i guess. >> good evening. i am a member of the community association. i'm here today to express my opposition about the proposed cmpc hospital. we cannot agree on this hospital being built in our neighborhood if cpmc will just continue to disrespect our community. cpmc is continuing to ignore the right

so you've got this sprintering of glass -- splintering unless you have this on the inside to keep you safe. >> what ems have you got here? >> well, since we're talking about... laminated glass, let's go for -- let's start with maybe patterned glass. patterned glass -- almost all of it starts off as eneeled glass. these are bathroom windows which you'd expect to see, but almost always it's eneeled unless it's in a shower bath or in a hazardous location. as it is, it's going to break the same way that ordinary glass does. and you just can go right on up through the spectrum. this is quarter inch plate. >> what would that typically be used for? >> well, this has got a slight tint to it. but you would -- again, you would find this on windows, oh, a lot of windows in office buildings are -- buildings downtown on montgomery, all high rises that were -- >> is plate tempered or not tempered, typically? >> plate is not tempered, unless -- >> specifically required, okay. >> so in the old days, it was -- you can look at a spec, and some of the old specs, it will say quarter inch pp, which is a g

unless any of you is interested in talking about statutory limitations, i will not bother you tonight. agency that is charged with enforcing the ordinance is accorded great weight. goothe definition is clear. with regard to the square footage issue, they measured the space. a coordinated, and it is an area contributed to storage. goois good for the community toe involved. i think this process have is and who -- has demonstrated good community involvement. we have been involved and also submitted now 1300 as signatures -- 1300 signatures. unless there are any questions, i would ask that you respectfully who deny the repeal tonight. >> thank you. mr. sanchez. >> good afternoon. i will be brief and just speak to 3.3 good -- three points. there is no notification required for the change of use. gthe notification issue involves the atm on the exterior wall. we noted that notification would be required. at the hearing, it was even required by the board that the revised plans to be adopted. the board did not reach consensus at the hearing, so following the hearing, the permit holder submitte

i do not believe what you would be giving up, unless there are things going on that nobody knows about that they are not supposed to be doing. i am not suggesting that is the case. it seems it is the perfect win- win. the way to exercise it is notify them your during the transition period you have 60 days to talk about it and fix it. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> man, president? -- may i, president? >> thank you, commission president. i think i owe it to the community to first make a comment to say that it was public hysteria that caused all these jttf and surveillance in the community. i believe that we have all the good intentions in the world to solve the problem. it is actually regrettable that the special agents and fbi are not in the room today and we can ask them directly the questions. a lot of the answers seem to be how they will treat the mou's, or resolutions, or whatever we move forward with. i have a question for director sparks. on what the commission role has got to be moving forward, in terms of our continued relationship in this matter? >> commissioner come up to this

but over that same time, wage and benefit costs alone are going to grow by $648 million, unless we take corrective action. that is going to be an ongoing issue that we are all going to have to tackle over the coming months and years. so that is all i have got. i am happy to answer questions. i know you'll have plenty of time with the department of the next couple of weeks to get into the details. supervisor chu: thank you very much. why don't we move on, because we have got a revenue letter as well. >> good morning. i am the controller. as you're likely york, the charter and administration code requires the controller to provide an estimate on the reasonableness of their revenue assumptions proposed by the mayor. to meet that requirement yesterday, we issued what we call our revenue letter. it provides some summary about revenue assumptions underpinning the mayor's proposed budget, and also comments on a number of other items on the mayor's budget. i can briefly walk through that. i have copies available on the podium next to me. it is always available on our website. generally speaking

unless real authentic new york pizza can also be found in terminal four of the phoenix airport. governor palin new york disrespect to you, you're a guest in our city, we should offer you the finest that our hospitality has to offer you. i just would have thought captain combover could have pulled that one offer. i mean, for [bleeped] sake, it's new york city. i hate to use this term this close to ground zero, but we're a bit of a pizza mi mean, you kt lombardi's...

unless next time, get out and play. >> welcome to "culture wire." on this episode, we explore what it means to the aged, in today's society -- what it means to be chicana in today's society. chica chic features an array of artwork by five leading chicana artists that addresses a range of issues such as integration, sustainability, and integration. using a distinct visual approach, each of the artist's response to the shifting needs of their communities in ways that offer unique perspectives and multiple points of entry. >> the exhibition is to bring together the voices of a new generation chicana artists, all of whom reference the works of the civil-rights movement in their works, but they are also responding to a new cultural concerns and new cultural circumstances. >> the works in the show include a large canvas depicting a woman washing the beach with her hair at the u.s./mexican border. the painting encourages the viewer to engage with the current debates over immigration and the politics of women and labor. influenced by the campaigns of the ch

unless they put a crazy up there. and then people will vote for obama anyway. but this is -- every presidential election is a referendum on the administration currently in power. there are no exceptions to that. and so right now people will be judging barack obama. i still think in the end he wins. i still think in the end -- >> i would just throw one spanner in the works. it appears at the moment he's likely to win.

is this would be so counterintuitive i don't understand why the israelis are so upset about this unless they just don't want to see a precedent to be set where a photo can break the blockade that's what it's all about not security breaking the blockade is that right or wrong. well nobody believes that there are going to be arms on these ships not even the israeli government and it's reported yesterday and i quote verbatim security officials and and foreign ministry representatives informed the cabinet on sunday that israel has no information indicating that terrorists or anyone affiliated with a terror group is planning to take part in the fla tilla and according to the same israeli government sources. the flip to the participants will be european peace activists and american peace activists and others presumably not interested in file and and will quote present a more difficult public diplomacy challenge so not even the israelis believe that this flotilla is a threat and in fact it's a mistake to reduce this to an issue of humanitarian aid because for example the us boat to gaza is not

unless commissioners have any questions? president olague: thank you. commissioner moore? commissioner moore: we have a letter written by the historic preservation commission dated march 23, 2011, regarding the draft eir. could you comment on your response? >> yes, you can see and the response to comment number 7 through 14, and then additionally in, it 21 through 22, they range from cultural resources and alternatives. i could go through every one of those, or if you have a specific one? commissioner moore: no, i just wanted to make sure that since this is an end historic district, it takes special knowledge to pick out the issues, that this has been done and a satisfactory way. president olague: commissioners? commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: i know about five years ago we dealt with a project in this area that was never realized. i assume since this is a different project, in case the public has a different questions, we need a different environmental impact report is that. it was never finalized? >> yes, that was the project at pier 32. commissioner antoni

explicit congressional approval unless the unless the united states or its armed forces are under attack and as was pointed out there are multiple provisions of the war powers resolution one of them affirms that the president must get authority to advance unless there's an attack on the u.s. and its armed forces and another one firms that u.s. forces must be withdrawn in the absence of an attack if there is no congressional congressional authorization within sixty days and that provision has expired and it's not true you know there are some there is. a kind of misdirection that happens with saying oh well you know presidents have not except that the worst power war powers resolution is constitutional there are multiple provisions and they're separable so if one provision is unconstitutional or arguably unconstitutional that doesn't mean that every provision is unconstitutional and in particular the sixty eight provision which has not been defined in the past is good u.s. law there is the one nine hundred eighty justice department memorandum that said this is constitutional and no preside
