since the plan would increase height and density limits in the area, it was important for us to look at the skyline. bear with me on our planning talk for a few seconds, but it was important for us to look at when we talk of the buildings up to 1,000 feet what this will do to our skyline, what it will look like, how to maintain and make more distinct the city skyline. the city skyline today is characterized by what we most see -- the transamerica building, the bank of america building, leaving conte hours, and a lot of similar height buildings. the terminal and the project the transit center will create a new focal point for the city in exactly the places where it should be and create a kind of new heart of downtown south of market which is exactly where we have been thinking it should go for the last 25 years. as seen from treasure island as well, the idea is to really create a punctuated skyline with the 1000-foot tower at the transit center and with the endpoints of the ring kind towers on the left and the trans america on the right -- the rincon towers on the left. it is also impo

at the end of the day, i occupy wall street has caused us to -- , occupy wall street has caused us to look at things in new ways that we need to. we are grateful for your leadership. right now, we have foreclosure in district 10. over 1500 homes in the bayview alone. a silent crisis that your work has highlighted, in a way. the municipal bank discussion in these important conversations. -- and these important conversations. all of these questions are coming in the spirit that we wanted them to for so long. i support occupy wall street so much so, we will be putting up a tent down at occupy in the next couple of days, and we wanted to say thank you to those that made this possible. thank you. supervisor avalos: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> i have and i hope the resolution will be carried forward? is there a chilling nature to political expression? particularly chilling, when government officials disagree. a previous speaker mentioned that the square in egypt. there was a march there to support occupy wall street's. the world is watching. the reputation of san francisco is a

they are looking at the reflection in the ground. that helps us to understand how bad of a problem we have and how to communicate to the self- defense force. they are looking at the same information. it helps us to understand what is going on with the water in the reactors. modeling and simulation that we have at sea is based on what happens with oil. what happens with oil and a radio isotope are different properties. we come up short when we look at what happens when radioisotopes are introduced to overtime. that is a common operating picture. that is what we developed so that, as the next aftershock came in the next power loss incident took place, in the launch floor that we build with the self-defense force, we were able to work side-by-side. we have a hot line to the embassy and ministries in japan as an event takes place, everyone knows. one of the critical questions that everyone wanted to ask was -- and i at risk? do i need to evacuate? the concern that we had was that the level of radiation in the background, which is to say people, the 90,00

so we see that there is a lot of cause for concerns and the trends um, cause us to look at these chemicals and say what is going on here. we know from the science that chemicals are ending up where they are not supposed to be and that is inside of our bodies. scientists can measure the chemicals getting into us, bio measuring. this is from the first chapter, indecent exposure, the intimate details. charlotte was surprised by the test results. mother of 2 among the first people to be tested for a wide range of industrial chemicals. test revealed that her body contained mercury lead cosmetics. i felt violated charlotte reported. she was upset about the pesticide. i never used them in my house, never on my lawn. i bought organic whenever i could. her body contained several variations of organic chlorines designed to attack nervous systems of insects. i never bought it. isn't that trespassing. i tell this in my story of mary broon. mary never felt called to be an environmentalist she was nursing her 6 month daughter olivia and a story had been done by texas tech where they looked at breast mil

since that time, the commission asked us to look more into detail but i came to code enforcement response issues. that universe has dropped down. with that, i would like to discuss the rose -- revised figure that was submitted to you for the purpose of this presentation and subsequently to its of it be, giving you recommendations on the revised exhibit day. with that, i will go ahead and start, from left to right. so, as i indicated, we have been talking about for 2010 was 285 complaints in the department. obviously, not all of those were determined to be verified complaints. typically, once they received complaints from the department of building inspection, there are usually other items as well, which take up the attention of the inspector. one of the things that we were asked to do was to look at and identify for you the number of repeated properties that have a heat complaint within the timeframe. within the 285 alleging heat complaints, 38 were approximately 13% of repeated properties. not necessarily property owners, but properties. what i have done for you is not only give you a pe

we would encourage everyone to have a look at what is going on and visit us in san diego for a face-to-faceook. thank you. >> next up, we are going to hear from kerry. -- carrie. >> good morning, everybody. i had the pleasure of being in portugal. it was absolutely tremendous. both my chairman and myself were there. we were very heartened by how exciting the racing was. i am not sure if anybody had a chance to catch the fleet race in plymouth, but tom covered a bit of the action from the collision in the starting line to a couple of capsizes. jimmy, who was driving one of the oracle boats, stepped out of the water and said, this is just like san francisco. that type of promotion really is a calling card, a road to san francisco for the next two years. what the event of a party has been able to pull together and started to come to bear. we are really excited to be able to bring this to fruition. they are doing their part. the city is doing their part. we are also incredibly proud of how the city has stood up and its commitment in pushing for the environmental review at a really impressive pa

i know you must have this warm feeling overhead. >> i used to look up at many of you, what i was down there. >> thank you so much for coming to talk. i know that you have to get out of town there. ladies and gentlemen? [applause] >> thank you. >> for the rest of you, we are going to have our next program and it is going to be some elected officials and mayors. we are going to take 10 minutes. i want you to be back in your seats and ready in 10 minutes. thank you very much. >> proposition a would authorize the san francisco unified school district to issue bonds to repair and upgrade more than 50 school facilities. property taxes could be increased if needed to pay the principal and interest on these bonds. the bond funds would be used to repair and replace major building systems including electrical, heating wat, water, security, and fire sprinklers. remove hazardous materials. improve accessibility for people with disabilities. make necessary seismic upgrades. replace permanent structures and perform other work necessary to apply closure -- codes and regulation . they can't pay for t

the idea of the community land trust is so exciting, with an example that would allow us to look at something that has been done. this is a wonderful improvement over what we have before. what was given to us was a very powerful summary, but the individual standing here and presenting a phenomenal body of work. and there are other issues but not want to get into them. i am very impressed with this and i look forward to this particular plan finding every possible way of getting the additional lands to bring all aspects of this plan to the same extent, based on what has been presented today. i think this is remarkable, with the consensus of all the different aspects. where we normally see people fracturing into different groups and opinions. these are the major components that make a real plan. congratulations. you had just come out of the more contentious plan. so this is a wonderful way of rounding out that experience. thank you. >> thank you for all the good work. i would like to think outside the box on this. even though what often happens is we look at the project and we don't consider som

a concerned resident invited us to look after a second body in just over a year was found in a dumpster at the bottom of it. >> it is scary. i think better security should be placed here. there should bcc tv -- be cctv camera installed beside the crash. >> the body was found sunday morning. police say they are waiting for a medical examiner ruling before commenting. a man's body was found in the same dumpster last august. the medical examiner ruled in that case because of death was undetermined and the man died from multiple injuries. police say they do not suspect foul play, but residents who use the shoot do not know if anybody could accidentally go down the chute. >> the person could fit down there, but it would not be easy either accidentally. >> do you think it could have been an accident? >> i do not think so. it would be very tough to put somebody's body there. it is nearly impossible. >> despite emily hauze's body being found in the same spot, police to not intend to revisit the case from last august. they say they have not found links between the case, but residents are not sur

50 years ago in glasgow, professor ian donald and his team discovered that sound waves could be used to look at what was going on inside the body. ultrasound was born. now doctors here in the same city are using ultrasound not to look inside the body, but to heal it. apprentice engineer gary denham broke his leg and ankle when he fell 20 feet off a water tank. >> my leg went forward, and the way it was lying, it was just basically sagging. >> gary was broken into pieces. there was even a danger it would have to be amputated. >> with this type of fracture healing with some difficulty, and some of them don't heel at all. even if they do, it can take between six and 12 months. >> but he's one of a small number of specialists using ultrasound. >> this is an ultrasound device which delivers ultrasound waves to the fracture which stimulates the bone to heal or regenerate new bone in terms of fracture healing. and we use it for the difficult fractures, ones with problems with healing. it's a very simple, painless treatment. >> a probe delivers waves similar to those used to scan pregnant women. it'

trips requiring a transfer, looking at the simplicity of your trip, we expect to see an increase there. transit operating fees. when we look at travel times, a lot of people ask us to look at how we can close the travel time gap. whether you are a motorists traveling in peak or off-peak time, or if you are a transit rider, how long it takes for you to get somewhere by trans during peak compared to driving. we expect to see a widening of that honor to transit gap. we will be presenting a variety of metrics, and we will always present the one that are getting worse it, in red, the ones that are a neutral, and cray, and hopefully, in the case of things getting better, in green. unfortunately, because of the failure of growth and because of the investment policy, planned to import, we expect to see things stay about the same or getting somewhat worse in some markets. we do have four goal areas, looking at moving towards the new plan and priority that we may want to consider. four goal areas that we would like to focus on. we do not anticipate focusing on just any one area, but the idea is, together, all of these calls will help us get to sustainability. in each of t

chinese authorities and the people of china are willing to build up a good neighborly relations with us to look for middle ground solutions to issues that seem extremely complex. we can tell they are ready to do it we take measures to indicate we are ready and as a result we find points of contact and i'm sure it will continue to happen in the future or hidden within the idea what york is for global leadership you recently wrote an article for the at least your daily where you suggest creating a eurasian economic area that will be a bridge between europe and the booming economies or the asia pacific region at the same time and everyone remembers you calling his downfall of the soviet union in the last century there is geopolitical tragedy in this respect what would you say to those who see in your word some sort of an imperial condition as though to recreate a new empire or imperiously. well you don't need to be an expert to realize that if we combine our country's attention system in technology infrastructure transport energy sector mineral resources workforce territorial and language opportun

there are a few people left and many in but us cobol well you have to know where to look. so the toss is to find a. according to someone a best of all is formal of town it's still a lot of. little video from those years still exists. his name is john gyre of ls whereas alias up by. police once it goes back and popeye was not far behind his boss esteban when it came to the packing order he was implicated in a number of murders sources claim that he's been serving time in prison for several gives what seems certain is that he was able to survive in bogota as notorious low modelo prison on homs. life for the whole prison was a daily diet of insecurity and frequent violence where the prisoners freed the roost esteban's former right hand man has since been spirited away to much safer surroundings. it takes a few more days to track down no one apparently knows where he is but the systems finally pays off. there is a last some news. popeye's being held about one hundred kilometers from bogota in this not of the times will sometimes. it's a high security prison with murderous drug

we are not used to looking this good. we can go to radio in pajamas. would like to introduce our panelists for today. we will start back from the left. executive producer of the "daily mandarin and cantonese newshour." next to him is the director of multimedia and technology programs at the night digital media center at uc-berkeley. next is the managing is theidd -- managing director at idd ventures sf. nexus' the editor in chief of marketwatch.com, part of news corp. -- next is the editor in chief. the co-founder and senior community manager of oakland local, a nonprofit media that promotes public discourse on issues. in the front row is a media analyst, who publishes an was a key developer of the mercury center. next to him is an assistant professor of broadcast and electronic media at san francisco state university. next is the managing editor for local news at -- i'm sorry. he is not at yahoo!, right. he is editor-in-chief of patch.com, a division of aol that provides news to specific communities. very local. after him, we have the managing directo

they feel the presence of this so uncomfortable emotion and making it not the enemy but a fuel for us to look deeply inside to recognize how we want to honor the lost loved one, what we need to know about this emotion and how we can use this as a period of time to reset our personal dreams our hopes and our life goals. degriefing has sparked many conversations. is it possible? and then a conversation around what is grief what does it feels like? it is common to all humanity. it is in fact as universal as the smile for many years we used the mod delve talk therapy -- model of talk therapy to deal with our grief. each person finds outlet to express rather than repress, express this emotion and feel. >> what i love about this approach, and i think it evolves from all the stepping stones of the past work that has happened with grief, what i love about this approach it does do what is so important it normalizes grief and it allows it to become a transformative experience for anyone at any age no matter how young or old, it allows grief to be used in that way. i think that is an important communal

. >> we didn't used to look at stray voltage. are now. >> pg&e said it will actively search for stray voltage by the end of the year. because there's little you can do to protect yourself from these hot spots, the promised inspections are likely your last line of defense from a serious public hazard. >>> all right, we have a remarkable story out of eastern australia tonight where a small plane crashed into a ferris wheel with children on the ride but no one was seriously injuried. this ultra light plane was taking off at a coastal village north of sidney. the pilot says he didn't see the ferris wheel and crashed right into it. there's two little kids there. there's the plane. the 52-year-old pilot and his passenger were trapped inside the plane for almost three hours. that 9-year-old boy and his 13-year-old sister were also stuck in a carriage at the top of the wheel for about an hour and a half. >> when i turned around, there was just this big plane right behind me. i was so scared and jes ws was screaming. >> i was freaking out

i need to work for us to look better at that and we work hard within d.o.d. to get them oto recognize changes. we did not get there this time in this report and i'm focused on this and i'm going to spend some time on it. >> you want a do-over on it or have you given them a deadline? >> we'll have to see. i don't know yet. >> we'll follow up with you on that one. >> you can definitely follow up. >> at the appropriate time. let me ask you about the army's modernization strategy. there are those who say that the army's modernization strategy to put it mildly is perplexing, you know, that there are all these competing demands. some folks say the army parked money in some programs to preserve budget authority after s.c.s. expired. is it not better to take a strategic modernization pause, go with some of the tested equipment you've got which, for example, general crutchfield is doing in aviation, buying himself some time to really figure out and assimilate the lessons learned to really figure out what the leap ahead technologies are. why is a [6fÑpause not necessar

that said you know police offices you one bounced check away from being out here with the rest of us to look at a lot of people they're angry they're screaming at cops but you're going to stand there just working class individuals whose their boss the mayor the mayor is get money with wall street he's literally. he's closer to wall street than america's newsroom and i don't mean. that's that's his only those are his people when they die you pours out a little liquor for them so when he says something to the police commissioner the police commissioner says something to the white shirts and the white shirts kick downs of the soldiers it's similar to what we see in the most brutal parts of the occupation of iraq and afghanistan the most brutal parts of that war soldiers held accountable for terrible things that have happened within the confines of the war but no officers no generals nobody that implemented these policies nobody that said hey you know what take him into the back and cut his hands off and so he tells me what i want to hear or raipur to she can't stand it so she gives us the infor

used to run home. using a radio code called. left school at talk code and say things like tell some of the doctor as they used to look they're on their way making straight for you. so when you were heading up towards the target would sometimes see people's getting past. the other way. you know. that the traitor is eliminated the manhunt can resume unimpeded. it's a little you know i check out target as a guy called el chapo according to our information he's hiding in this area. or was the terrorists' hands on terrorists guy who claims bought the. gun up and i'm going to start going to a couple of guys you know this is our photo album with iris operations and suspects and i think this is the guy we want to catch tonight. as a complete change of tactics the idea is to isolate escobar by rounding up his key men one by one now you're cast down on a list and chapal is tonight's target. the operation against a chopper is a success and many others followed the cd members of the cartel are eliminated one up to the other popular escobar is severely weakened so towards the end this war was running without strong. fear begins to creep in

used for analyzing the data. seti is about to start a major new observatory. the ellena ray. >> named after paulal snen. >> who provided some of the money to make it possible. -- it's going to allow us to look 10 times further out than we have been able to listen so far for signals from possible extraterrestrial intelligence. now 10 times further out may not sound like so much. so far we have been able to go out about 100 light years this. will let us go out 1,000 light years. the volume we can search goes up boo boo by a factor of 1,000. 10 times 10 times 10 because it's 3 dimensional. so we are going to greatly increase the chance of detecting a signal. keep in mind though, if we get a signal from a civilization 1,000 light years away, it was sent 1,000 years ago. if we decide to reply, they'll receive the reply 1,000 years from now and then if they reply to us, our distance is 2000 years from now. >> the likelihood of there being anything out there, first of all ncontour, in size, in complexity, that entity, that alien, would have to really kind of duplicate what we have here on ear in human beings. correct? >> it might be about the same size we are, but i don't think it would duplicate

it will be an exciting opportunity for us to look at the low hanging fruit we can do right now, and then the other pieces that are more strategic that will require significant funding opportunities to make them work. commissioner borden: one issue you touched on is information. that is critical. i go on that next bus before i leave my house to determine when i go somewhere. but the vast majority of people -- there are different apps, and i know they are not the city's, but we should publicize them. there is nothing more frustrating than to show up and stop and not have a bus,, and not be able to find out when it will come. i can shower and plan around when the next three buses are coming. most people do not know to do that. there is such low hanging fruit, pushing out that information about where you can find bus times. you can help with muni, because people could predict the timing. the issue that most people do not take the bus is because they need to get some place quickly and do not know when it is going to come. you cannot have that unpredictability. >> we have been ruling that out

to us on how it is going. this is an important project. we have other major changes coming upon van ness. guiding the project requires us to look at it more closely. otherwise, we will be overwhelmed with what is coming down the track. we should share this with some push back, without taking entitlement, but moving in this direction which has a larger signature. commissioner antonini: we had a discussion with the sponsor and architect about percentage of placing. there is a maximum which this building is below. it gives the appearance of there being a lot of glazing. but wherever we can emphasize the non-glazed elements is coin to be helpful. if you look at some of the renderings across the street, we have new buildings and all buildings. you have a cristiani johnson designed one over between washington and jackson, and three 20's style buildings between clay and sacramento. we are trying to create vertical elements that play with those buildings. in this rendering, with these white bays and the white collar of those bays, and the dark areas -- all these other buildings have a consistent color all the way up, of berkeley. it lo

to the extent that that issue was raised, that is something that actually has already been looked into, and there will be an opportunity for uslook more directly into that. again, thank you. with that, i will turn it over to president chiu. supervisor chiu: i also want to thank everyone who has been so focused on the central subway in recent years and i want to thank the civil grand jury for the work they have done, although i am sure it is not a surprise that i differ with regards to the conclusion. i want to again state -- say a few words on my perspective on this. the reason i sponsored the resolution some weeks back to reiterate the unanimous support for the board on this has to do with my perspective that no great city ever regrets building a subway. i think that great cities regret not building subways. we have heard the concerns that have been raised for many years. in fact, often during the, i think, 350 community meetings we have had over 20 years, and i do think that the issues have been raised, asked, and answered. the fact of the matter is the neighborhoods that the central subway is going in to represent the dens

that said you know police offices you one bounced check away from being out here with the rest of us to look at a lot of people think they're angry they're screaming at cops but you're going to stand there just working class individuals whose their boss the mayor the mayor is getting money with wall street he's literally. he's closer to wall street than america is this really you know i mean. that's that's his homey those are his people when they die you pours out a little liquor for them so when he says. something to the police commissioner the police commissioner says something to the white shirts and the white shirts kicked down to the soldiers this is a certain amount of cynicism that i have when people say oh they're all evil they're all we can know they're not evil they're all we can the people that are innocently following orders if they don't follow orders they lose their job like the sign said they're one bounced check for being right here with the rest of us to at some point everybody has to question what they're doing and why they're even here what they're doing at their job if th
