gwen: we've got a week to figure it out because everything comes to a head next week. and while washington has been transfixed by political warfare, a cyber war has sprung up around the world over the wikileaks leaks. defense secretary gates said it's embarrassing. attorney general eric holder says he's investigating and wikileaks founder julian assange remains under arrest in great britain. but what should we be allowed to know? how should we be allowed to know it? and can the internet truly be free? it seems like these are the tough questions tonight, tom. what are the answers? >> i think what that we're learning here -- those are the tough questions and i think what we have learned from this is we haven't really thought through the answers. this wikileaks episode and the cyber war that has sprung up around it is arguably the first big internet freedom battle that we have seen. and what is happening is it's the united states that is suffering the consequences of diminished power and prestige and i think that one of the things that that shows is that we have not reall

it will impact us next week.we're getting pretty good snow totals to come out of the mountain regions there, all the way from california eastward to the wasatch mountains in utah and the rockies in colorado, and there are appropriate weather watchers out in that area. here is what we expect to happen. the jet stream will carry that system eastward, but we're clear this weekend. we don't have any major problems. see how the wind speed max across? by the time we get to monday, we could be bringing a weather system in here. here is what that will look like. the pressure bringing us the gusty winds. but there is the first of two snows we see this one to come in late monday and monday night into tuesday. and then it goes by. as we extend our view to la later next week, there is another weather system that is to come in. it could snow twice. if you look at the snow numbers over the next two weeks, we're getting about twice the amount of snow forecast bed our computer models. it will be interesting to see if winter turn

bit more look into it and talk to you next week if that's your preference. but in this case we feel it would provide the coherency to the district and we have interpretation is that refer to both nc and c-2, so there's discrepancy about the control is currently in the definition of the rc district. it says commercial uses in this area should be permitted as described in the c2. so that's inconsistent with other places in the code where it refers to the nc district. so we feel there are a number of things pointing towards the which 2. and also you have should know that since we have made this change about whether the underlying zoning should refer to the nc districts, or the c2, we have only processed two conditional use authorization by this commission and both of those were approved, so there for we feel that the controlled that would allow this permissively are appropriate. and as mr. barns prescribed, the ordinance will be at the last use committee next week, so your recommendation is important today so you may have an opportunity to weigh in on the legis
