that just has a few parcels, and i needed just a little clarification on the variance, or if that was accurate, that the speaker brought that up. >> i believe the speaker referenced a variance for the size of the project, i think that was the trigger for the conditional use, the issue that is up for the variance is for an off street loading space. >> that's what i thought from reading it, so it's the size that makes it before us in the first place. so, well, generally, i am in favor of the project and i'll tell you why. points have been made about the services on the east side from what we've seen on the maps, there's quite an elevation change that continues to the east and also to the west, and so if you do have to walk to pick up not just prescriptions but other items because nowadays, the walgreens, the cvs's, the other pharmacy of these types have become more than where you get your prescriptions but your everyday items there, particularly if you live nearby and you just need a couple of things like bread or bananas or milling, you're not going to get into your car and go into a s

building inspection commission on bush street a request for kufks and we're consider requires for variances. >> good afternoon commissioner president wu and members of the board. i'm with the staff. the project is located at 1430 bush street and a conditional use authorization to construct a hundred and 15 at all mixed use construction and with the rent a car at the current location. you may recall it was heard by planning commission on september 9th of 2013 and just to bring to our memory the project that was shown at that time, in september. one hundred and 15 foot tall building with 32 unit facing a alley and at that time, there was a few members of public that spoke in opposition and if the commission continued to further work on the design. and there were concerns about a central courtyard in which the unit that faced the courtyard and at that time that was 33 to 38 feet between the units that was a closeness between the units. since that time the current design the courtyard convict 40 and 40 feet wide the two upper floors have been shaved back the thought of signification is exterior

you'll see that we have a projected $16.6 million favorable variance in salary and fringe benefits so we're coming in below budget by $16.6 millions. that is due to a couple of things. we have a couple units that are under their budgeted agent census so we've incurred some savings there and we also have some savings from our delays in hiring. i wanted to point this out because this is something that's come up at a couple of the last commissioner meetings and it's also come up extensively in our meetings with our nursing union as we've talked about their contract. we have -- despite the salary savings, that is not coming from our inability to fill our clinical positions, although that is a very serious issue for us. we have about 80 nursing positions at san francisco general that are unfilled and we are working overtime to fill those positions, however, from a financial perspective we are back filling those shifts with per diem and registry, so that's not what's driving these savings. it's the units below census and the other positions we are having trouble back filling, which are thin

that it really wasn't ripe because of the no final action taken on the project it didn't require an variance the what set the clock ticking for the visible rectify for the board of supervisors was the issuance of the building permits in the letter in december the building permits were issued on march 18 of this year and the board of supervisors claerntd it for a hamburger and had a hearing on the environmental review appeal and made one t f and unanimously did understand that appeal following the jurisdiction requests filed poor based on my review of this and relevant notification requirements it appears those notifications have been satisfied and in regards to the ordinances of permits that's a requirement of the building code so i'll defer to mr. duffey but we've heard from one party that poster was in fact installed >> mr. duffey. >> hello commissioners good evening. both the permits the occasion permit my the new construction permits were issued by dbi on mark 18, 2014 and as you heard earlier the notification process is part of our code for demolition of a building and we see those sign

it seems both the testimony and your questions centered around questions in variance. it's clear that those that implement standardized approaches to care produce the very best outcomes. these organizations build culture of accountability, alignment, consistency and sustainability. we also find that their evidence based approaches extend beyond evidence-based care to a framework of evidence-based leadership. this approach ensures that leaders are not only held accountability for the right goals, but these leaders are given the skills and the tools and knowledge to achieve those goals. these leaders ensure consistency in the workplace for their employees, they also ensure consistency in the care environment for their physician colleagues. and as the public has watched the vha issues unfold over the past 60 days, it's clear that the tolerance for variance is cheap among its ailments. the am of variance has created an unfortunately predictable outcome as we would say what you permit, you promote. the data that demonstrates these connections is quality outcomes, patient ex

the project does not require any variance in the planning code. we'll have planning exception as part of the large entitlement including the rear yard setback as discussed in the last hearing. because the appellants have the burden on this matter, we ask that you deny this request. thank you, we are available for questions. >> thank you, ms. short, do you have anything to add? no. is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, commissioners, the matter is yours. >> well, since a lot of this probably hinges on my opinion, i think i would like to have some discussion with my fellow commissioners about their view on the procedural error and whether that meets the standard for a rehearing request. >> i have my own opinion, but just want to be informed by other people's thoughts. >> we have made the comment in enumerable times that should a missing members vote affect that we would ask for a continuance our self. that is not a formal thing but we've said it many many times. >> we have consistently applied that practice. it is as commissioner fu

sfusd staff will analyze the final state budget doing it over the summer, and we will determine the variances from our current assumptions, and analyze the impact on school site budgets, and recommend appropriate adjustments to the adopted budget. school sites will revise the final budgets between september and october. and we have, just kicked off the process for closing the books for 13/14 and that is an activity that will continue all the way through october when the actuals are presented and the audited financial statements, and will be in december and the first interim report and the first opportunity to present a revised budget, and multiyear projections and assumptions both, and that concludes our presentation. >> how would you prefer to do this discussion, given the hour, and i have a number of questions and i am sure that everybody has a lot *f questions, do we want to dig in now or do we want to transmit them in another way and have the answers. >> i have some questions, too. and i know that this is the first reading and so you don't have a huge discussion on it and so we are going

high andit exists at a there is not a lot of variance and deep lows and i love that he is letting uso that with a different issue, the issues we are tackling. tavis: this is a question i should ask of chuck but since he is not here i will ask you. how do you have a comedy that does allow you to do with that sort of emotion and he could all work -- and make it all work in that kind of sitcom? >> i don't think of myself as iing in a comedy or being -- try to live truthfully under the imaginary circumstances and i think in the back of my head, i know if it is a comedy or drama. i think they all include every emotion. -- i don i do -- i do not go for the laughs. i do not try to make people laugh because that is why do not make people laugh. , how hard to be on the set do you know when i will get a laugh and i cannot do that. if i do that i will not get a laugh, i will jinx myself. i try to be truthful and never try to make anybody left. when i have to do these and when bonnie had to talk about where she came from rowing up in foster homes and the deep pain that is there that caused her t

still do have some issues at the other divisions and you can't to see a little bit of personnel cost variance in those divisions that's been historical and we're going to try to chip away at that over time in the coming budgets. so again, not a whole lot of big changes compared to what you've seen before, but we are really in a place where we're watching the big federal dollars carefully and watching our enrollment information carefully to try to narrow down some of the uncertainty about where we're going to be coming into the coming year and refine our projections, but we're in a much better place than we were in the past, especially on our expenditure. i just realized one thing that i do want to point out that i skipped over on the san francisco general hospital slide. i skipped one of the slides

so you have variance there how it works but about half do some combination of special election or appointment depending on how much time is left and certain actions taken by the board of supervisors. we then went to the mayor's ofrs and how those vacancies get filled. in total the city council or the appointing body in two cases there was an appointment that they did. in 9 occurrences there was an automatic special election process that was put in place then for the remainder of the 21 jurisdictions that we looked at, which is 10 of them, there is some sort of combination of a council or a special election getting called and in most cases there was some sort of in the interim someone was put in place so there was a mayor. some mayors are part of the city council and in some places they are completely separately elected but there was either a mayor pro tem or president of the council or somebody who would be put in the place of mayor in the interim until there was the special election occurring. very rarely do you see that position actually remaining open until the special election occurs. the

didn't meet those sections, it would have to be either altered or revised to meet those or get a variance. ~ planning code as of today, as of may 17 when it took effect, the new legislation that was sponsored by supervisor chiu for a more expedited process to allow for the legalization of units that were added without the benefit of a permit, the owner could voluntarily come in and legalize that unit without having to meet almost any of the typical planning code requirements like rear yard and open space and exposure and still have to meet certain minimum building code and fire code requirements. but as of today if the owners 1 and 2 they could voluntarily legalize it with very little process. >> okay. and that is not solely with respect to three-unit buildings or more? >> no, it's completely separate from that. >> okay. >> that legislation is a purely voluntary program that simply allows people who have these illegal units, irregardless of the zoning, even if you are over the maximum density, you may come in and legalize one of each unit per lot. again, it is a complete waiver from most

request for conditional use authorization, commissioners, and the zoning administrator will request a variance. >> good afternoon, president wu and commissioner, doug vu, department staff, the case before you is a request for a conditional use authorization to establish a new form retail cvs pharmacy store at 1900 19th avenue, the proposed project will include an addition of a net 2300 square feet to the building to establish 14 thousand 170 square feet of occupied floor area. facade improvement tos allow visibility into the building, utilization of 31 parking spaces on the roof of the build hating are ak sashed by a run way ramp and provide an additional 9 space ins a parking lot across ortega street, the proposed operations would be 7-11 daily and in addition to selling merchandise that is typical of other cvs stores, a small area will serve as a minute clan k that provide vaccination, preventive care and other non-emergency services through a staff of nurse practitioners and physician assistants, they have agreed not to sell alcohol or tobacco proktbacker pugs at this location. this project

and without getting a variance, and so, if we did that, it would take our square footage from 70,000 to 90,000 square feet which is less than the opt mal needs that we have and the other departments that sit with us to do the one stop center. and 1 b, would be to take over the 1680, building, and dpw would need to move out of that building and do renovation and add a little bit of a bridge between 1660 and 1680 and just be for the staff use to go back and forth between the two buildings. and that gives us more space and it is just slightly less than 1,000 less than the opt mal but could work. >> what is that square footage, of what it would be. >> 103,590. >> and so, if we were to do that, it gives us the square footage but puts us on ten floor of building, it does not give you adjacent and it is not all that convenient for customers you are going all over the place in two buildings. and so it is an option, but not a great one, really for us. option 1 c, would be to build the info between 1660 and 1680 and it will connect to 1660, on all four floor. s, and they will do the remodel on

forecast shows two- to four-degrees cooler tomorrow and pretty were steady as she goes with the big variancehe cloud cover at the coast and we will not have were tomorrow and we will have more sunday and into monday. have a good week. katie? >> seven things to know before you go. >> morning news returns in 90 seconds. >>> whether you are just joining us or headed out the door, number one, happening right now, a look at a car crash in berkeley that sent a man to the hospital in critical condition. you will want to avoid tunnel road because of this. the eastbound direction of tunnel road is closed near the uplands. take highway 24 to college to avoid the closing. >> changes to a controversial land for a technical company shuttle in san francisco could lead to fewer park spots in the city. there is a hearing today on changes to plan that allows the corporate shuttles to use muni bus stops as they eliminate park spots to make room. >> expect long delays and heavy traffic on highway 37 and 121 at the raceway today through the weekend, the we kickoff is today with a rack first round with thousands

schedule it's much more difficult to coordinate and managers that have employees working multiple variance of alternative schedules, they find they have to work more. if i have half of my employees on friday and half on monday, as manager i have to be there monday through friday, and now instead of working, say, an extra hour a day, you know, for four days, now i'm working an extra two hours a day over five days. in addition to whatever my managerial responsibilities were. that's one of the big down sides. >> how many days a week do you work, and do you think this will take off, or it just works for niche companies? >> well, as an academic i often work six days a week. that's not uncommon, plus if you work all kinds of odd hours when you're traveling and whatnot, but i have worked a four-day workweek, but that was many years ago, and i did find it quite attractive. but it's the kind of issue when organizations ask, should we do a four-wee-day workweek? my response is what do you want to accomplish? structure your work space on what the goals of the company are. if your goals are to attract

you were paying 2.5% for mutual funds, so these small variances in return have to be put in the context mutual funds charge to begin with, which is in most cases half a percent. even if you bought the stock themselves, the cost of getting in, getting out would be quite high. you have to put this in context the cost of investing in the index funds is lower than it has ever been which is why something like this, like commodities, leveraged funds, inverse funds. that is where the fees, expenses have to pay more close attention. gerri: morningstar once did a survey that shows you can invest in almost any fund and the difference in your performance is largely what you paid in fees. the other thing that matters is the devil is in the details. one story today show on the s&p index outperforming the wilshire index so it is not just who is running the etf, it is what specific index you are tracking. you really need to know. >> now more than ever individuals can tailor their exposure exactly how they want it. so if they want more large cap, small cap, dividend oriented, you can tailor your portfo

now the variance in the model seems only to be about two things.how fast the aircraft is flying and what altitude. the thought of it would maintain speed, but it doesn't. as the fuel is burned, if you're in a certain mode of the auto pilot, it will change the speed of the aircraft to be the most efficient rate. there are change in the speed of the aircraft. those were not colocongratulat d -- not calculated in but have been now. the independent search area is south of the most recent searched area. and it's north of where the -- where the original search area was. it's kind of in between the two where there's never been any searching going on at all. i'm encouraged they may find something there. >> a new search area, what kind of equipment would be used here? >> well, they're going to do -- keep their plan of the course of to map the ocean floor first. so the chinese have had a ship there mapping, additional assets to map the floor first, and then they will deploy the submersibles, except they will be using next time subomers thabls are capable of

the ability to reduce that variance, standardize those practices. when identified as a true vetted best practice, the ability to move very quickly across the system to implement those best practices. >> okay. dr. mccaughey. >> yes. let me point out, and i'm very grateful to be here today. that your time is valuable. but time is also extremely valuable for these vets who are waiting, who are stuck in these waiting lists. 3 63,000 who waited a decade and never got a first appointment. now 57,000 currently waits for their first appointment over 90 days. i would point out that this bill that you will be considering establishes two commissions. one, to study the issue of v.a. construction. what's gone wrong, the delays, the cost overruns and where construction is needed. >> i don't want to talk about -- >> i wanted to make this point. don't waste your time with another commission. in 2012, you had a commission do that. read the report. i'm sure that the new commission will find exactly what the commission found two years ago. they discussed las vegas, de

to want it and china's interpretation of things like the exclusive economic zone are very much at variance with sort of traditional customary international law on this. and the u.s. response on the security in the pacific rim also seems not necessarily more ham-happened but less sure of itself. there was the pivot that started in the fall of 2010 and that was certainly embraced about by a lot of countries in the region to perceived chinese provocations in 28 and 009, indeed it was embraced in some ways too warmly by some. you could argue the pivot emboldened philippines to take a more bellicose position on scarborough shaw which led to the situation where the united states said we won't go to war on it. but the u.s. has actually committed to basically going to war over the san calcoo aisles but recognize it is a disputed issue and we have said our alliance commitment would get us into a war in that should china actually challenge that. so, you know, you can talk about two different narratives. even realists that tend to argue the u.s. should retrench in various parts of the world. when you

we will come back to this, the dynamic of turkey's own politics has a variance.part, of course, the core of the arabs praying was the arab countries and their revolts. at the beginning they resulted with true goals, first of the overthrow of the existing autocrats and the replacement of autocratic regimes with new democratic ones. where does this stand? well, four of the five argon. the exception is bashir. the worst of the lot. but the establishment of new democratic regimes has largely failed to materialize. what happened? obviously different factors in different countries have contributed. nobel we will explore those differences. here i would like to focus on egypt which seems to be the most crucial or important and also happens to be largely the focus of the article. first, the largest arab country and thus is looked to as our model. a genuinely democratic revolution in the sense that it held more less free elections, multiple free elections which produced a new regime. the islamist regime of the muslim brotherhood. a new regime whose character is so uncertai
