this is what he refers to as a light well. it is thought a traditional light well. it is a cut-out. it is apparent that when you start here and you go 30 feet down, there is access to air in these windows. you do not that much light w hen you are behind the eve. you do not -- i do not think he is interested in light. this is a rectangular shaped light well that those of three stories. i think that is pretty generous. my response would be, less than you want more like -- light, you could take some responsibility and remove your eve. you are not going to get much light at the bottom of the 30- foot tunnel. air, but not much light. i have to tell you that we have received no response. with regard to the building scale, we agree with the staff's conclusion that the buildings may extend one story taller than the adjacent buildings as long as it is said that 15 feet. i went out to the site the past week and i walked up and down the entire plot. i included photographs in our package. is that it? >> yes, it is. five minutes are up. >> thank you. >> speakers in favor of the project sponsor?

well look what. you cannot tell it's also from my colleagues who have students who own companies which are we produce graphene who have nothing to do is that they those companies do do exist so some of my good friends and colleagues they do have some interest in in business. where interested in having a good time in the lab. if it involves creation new type of devices from from graffiti we would do it so we for instance we produced a prototype of liquid crystal display made of woman we had over heard of graphene bought you are absolutely right it will be very extremely very boring for me to sit for here and try and so. to this this device works slightly better that will be toward me but that's an important part of or of jobs and you mentioned spending time having good time in their lab which we should say it is that it is always about you really think for prefer or in life tell us about it what is having a good time with your friends and the lab what do you do what do you mean by having good time in

well, good.f you are looking for a running mate, i'm available. [ cheers and applause ] >> that'd be some ticket. that would be some team. >> jimmy: we would -- we would so lose. it would be awful. [ laughter ] but you're a good businessman, so i think it could be very interesting. i think forbes just listed you, again -- you're always in "fors," one of the richest businessmen in theorld. $2.4 billion worth? >> well, they did do that. yes. >> jimmy: wow. [ laughter ] what do you think of -- what do you think of the other billionaires out there, like the new money, mark zuckerberg? >> well, i think it is incredible. they are young kids and they hit on something, wheer it is facebook or some other technologically advanced -- it has always been -- i love real estate. i love what i'm doing, but these guys become rich very quickly. but of course, for every one of him, there's hundreds and hundreds of thousands of others where it doesn't hit. but he certainly hit with facebookand others have hit with o

>> well, let's see.re's -- of course in the great history of america, there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every american. going through the history of america, there would be others. but -- >> can you think of any? >> well, i would think of any, again, that could best be dealt with on more local level. >> christine, you should have looked at the game tape, you know? but o'donnell was caught totally off guard when she was asked the very same question last night. >> so what opinions of late that have come from our high court do you most object to? >> oh, gosh. give me a specific one. i'm sorry. >> actually i can't because i need you to tell me which ones you object to. >> i'm very sorry right off of the top of my head i know that there are a lot. but i'll put it up on my website. >> okay, joining us now is republican strategist ron chrissy. author of a new book "acting white" the curious history a racial slur. provocative title, ron. we'll bring you back to talk abo

>> well, certainly. i mean, i said in many, many, many speeches quite often, and when i was on the sentencing commission, that i thought in many circumstances -- and i used to list them -- the sentences are much too long and that you can have definite, but not life sentences for everything. and i've said mandatory minimum sentences -- i've given a set of reasons -- are particularly undesirable, because they don't let the judge exercise his discretion at all. now, many people favor those things, but i've made it fairly clear that were i a legislator, and when i was on the sentencing commission, i would be against that. but also in many opinions i've said, "well, you have to uphold it, because the law is that this is up to the legislature within very broad range. this is not up to the judge." >> you've been on the court 16 years. >> yes. >> another issue that has come up over the last couple of months is that you now have six catholics and three jewish members of the court -- first time in history that you

the wells team leders got together with the wells manager. look, let's come up with a way just so that everyone is sort of being graded the same way. that's really all that was. it had really -- safety was always the number one priority. it was easy to measure -- no, i'm sorry. it was easy to measure on the matrix part. what's difficult to measure is the safety culture on your rig. okay? so whatever the actual well site leaders were ranked, they had to be ranked later on, you know, safety was always number one. it was arbitrary number. >> okay. continue down the road. when i looked at was documented in the spread sheet. that was the actual performance evaluation of the 13 employees i looked at. do you recall the testimony that you gave after we wnt through the laundry list of which was one safer and cheaper? so is it still your testimony that you don't feel that any pressure is put upon the personnel at bp through the performance evaluations that they are being measured against nually that their decision to not run the tool to circulation ful

there is a light well that does not fulfil the function of a good neighbor light well. we respectfully suggest the answer should be no. as proposed in this plan, when we look out our first floor window, we will be facing a wall that extends nearly to the top of our window. i have provided you with reasons to justify it acceptance of our discretionary review application. we and our neighbors ask you to consider revising the sponsor's plan. thank you. president miguel: speakers in favor of the dr? those of you who are in favor of the discretionary review application, up one by one. -- come up one by one. >> mr. president, commissioners, my name is david burness and have lived on the same block of elizabeth street since 1971. the 900 block at the time when we moved in was unique and special and one of the 10 steepest in the city. steps all the way up. a variety of cottages and houses, different in period and style set back from the property line set back with large sidebars. none with more than three levels and most only two levels. it was a street that possessed a unique

>> well, i sort of do everything when i'm there. >> rose: well w what? >> oh, i don't know how to begi i'm li a man of all work. >> rose: rlly? >> yeah. >> rose: i mean are you kind thereof as a kind of -- >> well, i do everything. >> rose: wise peon. >> tt ceainly, alws wise and generally energetic althgh that's beginning to ase. >> re: spose i wou come to you nownd say knowg of your lo for ballet, and say you are only goingo s one baet, it is or. you can only see one. >> and that's it. >> rose: that's it. >> well there have been many great moments but for me the heart of ballet and really the heart of my whole way of thinking and being is ballanchine. >> rose: you wrote books about it. >> i d. and the city ballet today is not what it was. and many of us. >> rose: because there is no balance an chin. >> there was never going to be another ballanchi and there was never one before so the performances are very different in kind, sometimes they're good. sometimes there's noto good. bumaybe the most, the first really thrilling mont in my dance life was when

russia has performed well. and belarus and russia have settled their differences over the customs union and set the stage for more members to join the four country grouping with more here's artie's might be the coach of. prime minister placement would sound like the outcome but this is writing meeting between the prime minister is a customs union and the members it was said that the establishment of the common economic space and because the union created by belarus kazakhstan and russia is proceeding costed that was the previously expected parties also worked out the budget issues for the nearest future and decided to form the necessary legal base out by the beginning of twenty i love the prime minister like him in future and also suggested that i asked him you know and he's open to the moment very soon and the next possible member it might be ukraine followed by other two countries which are it's a cheeky stand and can you stand with the after the signing and ratification of all documents related to the creati

well. first of all i agree that different countries have different perspectives on the news and that means we should look at american news and how it has a perspective and we should also look at the perspective that other countries have i don't think of the b.b.c. as necessarily carrying the government agenda the way you say it does but it certainly reflects a british point of view and who would expect it to do otherwise. what i what i guess troubles me about framing it the way you have is it makes it all look the fairy is and in fact most things in this world are complicated and not just driven by by simple metrics like there's some public support for the b.b.c. you know and i'm a british one of the world and that's what i'm trying to that's what i'm trying to get at is that it's not nefarious whatsoever we should expect different points of view ok even if it's different from the point of view that we would get from our own to media and domestically in united states we should expect that o

>> well, they owed him... you know, this is an important question, particularly with petraeus, the kind of renown general of our era. as the book points out time and time again, the relationships with the white house never get settled. it's uneasy. there's a distrust of him. at one point petraeus actually tells one of his advisors that he thinks david axelrod-- the president's political advisor-- is nothing but a spin doctor. at one point when they're pushing back with him he tells his advisors, petraeus does "they're ef-ing with the wrong guy." the president never developed a relationship with petraeus. he never developed that relationship with mullen or they with him so it could really be kind of over a beer, over a cup of coffee. what do you really think? where are we going? there's always a distance. look i was surprised when it was decided to put mcchrystal in last year. >> rose: to put anymore? >> to put anymore. this was in may of 2009 and relieve general mckiernan. president obama met with general mcch

well. you see we are quite lucky you know although we can afford to work result thinking about producing a real lucian in physics we can afford to work just because we were really really like it and already the very first experiments which we wish we had done it was was those samples made from those first tapes we realize that we have something extremely interesting you know hans and you took us to probably easier or you win more to the gods the graph and samples bods the interesting physics we can see in the very. first experiments ok how many people except you and game contributed to this graphene research because as far as i know usually one or two people get the nobel prize but actually it's a it's a company of like dozens of people is that the case with you. oh yes here i was in that it was a pool of great researchers of fantastic people who were doing those first experiments you see i don't think that. the prize is due in just on the merits of the one experiment so rouer doing very in

economy is doing fantastically well, now. so gridlock i don't think is going to be a great thing. >> and of course that is why you're seeing this move into gold. a fear trade in some regard, or perhaps the dollar movement also moving money into gold. would you recommend getting into some of these commodities that have already been such big movers? >> they've moved so much, maria. i think a diversified portfolio is a really good thing. having a small portion of your portfolio in gold makes sense. adding new money to it now is a tough one. you know, in our view, the strong move in gold, sort of gold going up, the dollar going down, even oil has moved up a lot, we see that as related to the belief that the federal reserve is going to do another round of asset purchases. in a sense, make an even easier monetary policy. and in that environment, commodities tend to do well when the feds generating as easy a policy as humanely possible. >> you know, it's interesting, because the fed keeps saying, look, we're going to be there if the

checked those wells.y say if there's elevated levels of arsenic in those testing wells, then they've got a problem. first energy fix is that nobody's water out of those test wells are affected. >> what about residents, are they sticking to bottled water? what are they doing? >> many residents use bottled water. they're not trusting of the department of environmental protection in pennsylvania or first energy because they don't know what to believe. because when you look at that thing, it just looks bad. >> is there any kind of liner in that pond as there would be in a landfill? >> excellent question. no liner. but when first energy expands, they will put a liner in the new part. but little blue is so big. and it would be so expensive to put a liner under that thing, it wouldn't be worth it. they would have to shut it down. if they had to put a liner under it, i should say. >> carol costello for us this morning. tomorrow, we'll take a look at the economic impact and consequences as well. >>> it's now 47 mi

>> jimmy: well -- [ laughter ] all right, well. and -- i guess i'll call somebody.h, should probably call somebody. and now he got the walkie. >> oh, he took my -- >> jimmy: the walkie. >> george -- well, he looks like -- he might have, like, green eyes or blue eyes. he might have, like, like brown hair. he looks skinny like he's underfed. yes, i'm in my post. bye. >> jimmy: all right. oh, well, look who's back. >> you want this back? >> huh? >> you want this back? >> uh, yeah, my -- my -- >> get back, lady. >> george, he's here, he's downstairs. >> jimmy: still chewing gum. and back to the seat. >> there's some guy running around with a gun. he brought my radio back. >> jimmy: all right. oh, wait a minute. oh, he's back. >> jimmy: and now the -- disturbed everything. and -- >> we're minus a table now. [ laughter ] >> jimmy: yeah, no. i've never felt safer. come out and take a bow. look at that, the "jimmy kimmel yeah. take a bow, take a bow. go ahead.

well developed countries. russia topped europe's charts in september for the largest amount of rito construction underway but even though it's a past turkey and france retailers say the size location and number of shops remain inadequate. reports. we've dozens of shopping centers constructed in the past decade you might think russia is well stocked with retail outlets but you'd be wrong big retail chains are poorly represented across the country and small retailers what americans call mom and pop stores struggled to find shop space. the share of big players in various sectors of retail is not only about six percent this market is far from consolidation obviously the regions are more inclined to develop local brands a large retailers have more power for buying and promotion so i think up to seventy percent of all trade will be in the hands of big companies within the next seven years for the. property specialists say russia needs to build more shopping space for large chains and crack down on disorganised outle

that's great too and we're in a position to cope with that well. i heard. the floor under which these two russian scientists worked the nobel prize winners will work in manchester is called the russian floor because like all the professors there are russians what you just call global russians is i so global russians are really good for for england for my. just for america but. are you sure that foreign investors like yourself are ready to develop new technologies here in russia and those deprived from more and more global russians are all as. before and their world is becoming and life's more plays and in a technology world it really does not matter where it was originated there were actually a look at the centers of excellence silicon valley is not the only center anymore and now what it was created in silicon valley is being used in russia and asia the products of all those big company is pretty much for the world so my dream is that there will be businesses in russia which will be oriented as for the domestic market that is well we should have a

the light well has been there for well over 100 years and i cannot believe it is so easy for strangers to come in and choose to create a tunnel effect in another person's home. we like to pride ourselves on the distinctiveness of our neighborhood. this is maintained and protected by being vigilant, caring, and respectful of our neighbors. that includes informal communication with neighbors regarding any proposed renovation. i trust that the planning commission sees the value of community as opposed to random construction of overly large buildings on a small lot. i urge you to vote against approving the structure with three stories over a garage, as is currently proposed. save the existing victorian. the fight is far too large for the character of the neighborhood and for the steep incline on the hill. the design is not in keeping with similar homes and by not accommodating the light well on the first floor of 936, the plan is thoughtless and cruel to a house that is truly historic. thank you. president miguel: additional speakers in favor of the dr? >> i am doug wilkins. i am presentin

and they are very well attended. you know, you get almost 200 people in a room to recognize those that have graduated and those that have been in recovery for many, many years. and it's growing. actually, the last time, we were probably 3 years ago now, we have about 500 people who celebrate in terms of acknowledging their recovery and the years. and we do the walk also recovery, a whole bunch of organizations, we get together and things like that. but dr. clark, i think it has to go beyond the recovery month. i mean, recovery month is fantastic and we certainly support it, but really what do ethnic, racial, and special populations need to be cognizant of that maybe they are not yet? well i think, as with any population, what we're trying to foster is this understanding that we're dealing with powerfully reinforcing psychoactive substances when we talk about the misuse of alcohol, when we talk about the use of methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, or prescription drugs. and that the person who is at risk is anybody in th

so this relationship is working very well as well.this relationship between afghanistan and the united states, especially for the u.s. military, to make sure that in the war on terror, the afghan people don't suffer, that there are no civilian casualties. with that given to us, we are a tolerant people and a very friendly people. >> larry: will the afghan troops be able to take full control for security in your country, say, by -- you said it's determined to happen by 2014. do you think that's logical? >> yes. we are working hard towards that objective. the afghan people, the afghan security forces, given good training and good equipment, will make very good soldiers. we are a very brave people, as is known in history. so that element is in the afghan nation, given good training, good equipment, the afghan forces will be able to defend the country extremely well. >> larry: with all of the factions, can democracy work in afghanistan? >> yes. democracy is working well in afghanistan. afghanistan traditionally is a country of -- it's an

they move around from well to well as they drill. the drill ships that you see on the right are similar except that they are ship shake. as you see on the left, it looks like eight semisubmersible, but it is actually a production facility. it is actually attached to the bottom. it has a drilling rig on there and we drove from there in deep water. the drilling rig is more similar to or read that would be on land. a lot of times when you hear people talk about drilling in the deep water, they get mixed up between the production facilities like the one on the left and these drilling rigs that actually move around. we drill wells from all three. the next thing i wanted to talk about is the scale. just to give you an idea of the scale of what we do. this is a picture, this is a tension leg platform, but it would be the same if you had a semisubmersible. this is over the city of new orleans. it would be the equivalent of 3,000 feet of water. you can see the scale of what we are dealing with in deep water. the yellow lines or the mooring li

well, think about this.h him? oh, brother. >> rarity, indeed deed, the for brothers to be playing in the ryder cup and rare for italians to be a part of this special ryder cup week. only constantino rcca who was a brother before the molnar row brothe brothers. >> no shot. >> wasn't that tough. a lot of times when you're standing above the ball in the bunker, with it comes out short so you have to hit it harder. >> you may have trying to hold on to the 1 up lead over the molinari brothers. >> set is the scene for us at 13. >> americans still have about 150 feet left for par. a bad chip shot from left to the green and they will suffer a bogey. tiger woods will have about 4 1/2 feet to win the hole. >> and that would mean a 4 up lead, with just five to play. virtually insurmountable. >> twiegs to win the first righter cup ever for the first time. >> he's picked a nice job to get it done pup you have three players playing well? >> and, of course, those three players have brought their plastic to wales for that w

how well they do, we're not sure. we hope to help them do that by properly ar tick latings it so there's there's a mutual understanding of where we're coming from. it affects an entire city. tenants as well as owners. we rely on the committee to give us those insights. illegal units the one that -- i don't know if the answer is we're addressing it or not addressing it. >> i think what we've seen has the legislation for the five and more units buildings going through, the units being identified, so if they have a four-unit building with an illegal unit that's a five-unit building and gets pulled into the whole process and addressed. >> city policy on whether to legalize or require upgrades to have somebody taking it out. no, we're not following recommendation for -- how owners can be incentivized in order tord carry tout seismic strengthening. but that's not one this caps project is taking a position on. >> buildings don't change ownership over hand. in fact, many are under one-family ownership and would not be affecte

on the campaign trail as well. political director paul stein hasser is at the cnn politics desk this washington. what do we expect this week? who is going to be where? >> all the candidates are. nine days left. everybody will be out this week. let's talk about top sauer gates because they often grab a lot of attention. map made up of democrats. the president barack obama in rhode island helping democrats there and then he's down for a couple of days here at the white house in washington, but at the end of the week going back on the campaign trail with some crucial states. you'll see the president in pennsylvania, connecticut, illinois and ohio over next weekend, crucial races there for the house and senate and governor's races. what about the vice president. well, joe biden is in florida and new hampshire tomorrow and for the vice president it will be his 100th campaign event of this mid term election season so he's been extremely busy. later in the week the vice president will be all across the country as well and

well you know they're looking at themselves of course as well many of the homeless people are willing to admit that maybe if they tried a little harder and really tried sticking around more and you know whatever they were doing before the recession because nobody could tell that this this kind of economic crisis would hit the country so the people who are in the situation now yes many of them are counting on mayor bloomberg to do something but a lot of these people are sort of questioning whether or not he's actually going to get anything done and many many have been addressing barack obama there saying that yes they want the president to take care of them because when he stepped in he was saying that this national disgrace to quote him is something that he wants to make getting rid of it he wants to make that his priority but clearly that has not been the first priority on his list and politically clearly it's not an easy priority to look to to as we see you know so much resistance to government programs and hand me out and things like welfare but it's definitely these figures really

>> well, he is sort of stuck. he is telling the same story this week that he has been telling all along so far which is yes, we're having growth, but no, it's not good enough. and politically, that's just not a good enough story for the obama administration going into these midterm elections, which people are predicting now are going to be a democratic bloodbath on tuesday. that's really going to present some challenges for obama for the last two years of his first term. he is going to have to figure out what he can do to move the needle on unemployment which is far more important in terms of gdp in terms of the politics situation. it may be that the obama administration is a little bit out of answers and they're going to have to shift to the center a little bit and maybe take their cues from a potential new republican majority on the hill. >> do you agree with that, diane? and also, how do you get jobs create that point in the recovery? >> there is a silver bullet to be shed, believe me, a lot of democrats would

i thank you for coming here  surgery as well.tionsówq -- besides the 10 years of professional experience, you mentioned you were a÷ resident on treasure island for how long? >> two years. >> thatpd5 seeing what it is now and what it could be. i see1çÑ your educational background is in architecture and urban planning and that you have&. also worked on school fktdesign. i'm curious, there are two schools@ school, and then there is the charter -- school thatt development, but i'm just wondering what visions you have, but i wonderv8ç what visions you have four fairly rigid family- --t visions you have for family oriented development. rñ i think it is very impor. once you bring a family into the community and start1uk -- they become your grassroots basis for development. for example, while development is happening, you willy crews and staff and people and all kinds of population growth !zeon eight timbrel basis fluctuating that is going to be visiting and working with the ?:kisland, and i think you can t some kind of infrastructure i

and and war of course well there is another person speaking on this and that's chris whalen who is an institutional risk analyst and he was also interviewed on bloomberg news talking about this foreclosure gate and the fact that barack obama is just like herbert hoover and in not understanding the situation and here's what he says on bloomberg i think it's much the same as he was in the twenty's and thirty's the government didn't realize what was happening but i think or leaders are caught in the same problem when you foreclosures what's mixing going to happen not a federal moratorium but a loan term moratorium by lenders who can't deal with their backlogs anyway we're going to have state moratoria the way we did with the reduced in the governor so those states are going to search folks stay in your homes keep paying your property taxes default on your mortgage yet once again civil war in other words the states are going to instruct people not to pay their mortgages to pay their property taxes yeah but to not pay their their mortgages and the federal government even if they get involv

it well. >> use it well, i hope you use it well. and how much better would it have been if truman had said to stalin look we're developing this weapon. but you know t can't be a battlefield weapon because if you drop anatomic bomb on the battlefield will you kill your own troops as well as your enemy. therefore it's like poison gas. maybe we'll have to use it toned the war against japan but let's then find a way to bar it from development. stalin thinks he can outbid, outrace the united states in an arms competition. truman when it comes to the hydrogen bomb in 1950, he asks his advisors can the russians do it. and they say yes. he says well then we must go ahead. george canon wrote a 79 page memo. he is the hero of this book in many ways. he wrote a 79 page memo telling achison and the white house that it would be a mistake to start building hydrogen bombs. he said we have a hundred to one advantage in atomic bombs over the soviets at this point. if we approach them and try and find a way to

we encourage you to forward those to us as well. the key deliverable as you will be seeing and hearing more of -- deliverables you'll be seeing and hearing more of is a draft report from the consultants as well as a proposed rate legislation before you by december 14 for your december meeting. in addition to the work that we are doing at the staff level and your commission timeline in particular, we are humming the entrance consul to. that was done in early december. ms. power and by our partners and are working closely on the cost of -- and i are partners and are working closely on this. it is a very unique thing. tandem work is also occurring with the rate fairness board as required under the charter. we have held a number of meetings over the next few months with various board members. we will be going to the cost of service for hetch hetchye che power. we go through that so they understand the underlying cost of service. we will review rate design in similar package to what you have before you today as well as all the alternativ
