we obviously need loss of band width for the products we have. we tend not to have specific opinions on how to get there but just to make it possible to facilitate the different devices and content. if you look at the growth we've seen in the last few years in the u.s. market in the smartphone industry and consumers buying smart tv's, so much of that has become because of the great gains in broad band to the home, in wireless capables so you can see the benefits of having access to band width whether it's home or mobile making it possible for consumers to use these great device and then get access to a whole range of content and services that they want. >> is it important for a manufacturer such as samsung to build in efficient sis for spectrum in its product, is that possible? >> with spectrum, we largely partner with wireless carriers so those policy areas are more relevant to their business in terms of how they are going to deliver the content. our goal is to have a great product, latest technology and more and more making it easy to use. i th

not, or is much more narrow than the entire width of the rear patio area that they are talking about. so, the impact of this on the patio is really greatly reduced, if you look at it in plan view. there is, we are talking about something on the order of 40 percent of this entire width of that patio area is going to be impacted by this very narrow building. and secondly, the issue of people having just moved in, whether or not that was the tenant or the property owner that spoke, or the appellants themselves, in today's letigeous society, i am sure that they were made aware of this by the realtor whens they bought their units, not this building was permitted originally in 2008. so, for them to not know that this building was coming down the pike, is a little bit, i think, unrealistic. and that is all that i have, thank you very much. >> and i am, i do have just a question, i think what efforts if any have been made to resolve or come to someplace of compromise with the appellants? >> before the discretionary review hearing, i believe that we had two meetings with the live-work associa

barrier or a buffer zone that separates a bicycle lane from a parked car then what should be the minimum width of the barrier or buffer zone so where a person with disaiktd has room to exit their car and travel to the corner crosswalk? another question is where do you put the blue zones, white zones, when have this type of facility? how do you fit para-transit boarding into the design and what does the bus stop look like with this different traffic and needs intersecting? so to further that process the mta is hosting a workshop on monday february 25. they're going to be using the second street project as a working model to help us start to work with the community on some of those details, and our office as well as the dpw ada coordinate ors and provide assistance and it's an ongoing process. last i wanted to finish my report to also honor ken stein. at the last meeting he let you know he was retiring and yesterday was his last day with our office and it was good to hear from him today and to hear his message and we are going to miss him and i know that you will too. so that concludes my direct

it doesn't reduce the sidewalks and the widths. it provides for improvements that makes it better for cycle folks. we still have some of the challenges we have keeping the same mix like i said this would make some auto restriction from what we have today. the second option that we've narrowed down to is what we're calling a market street bike way. this would create a top level bicycle facility on market street. the biggest challenge with this approach is that we have a really an overarching challenge is market street is a fixed right away. from building front to building front although it changes a little bit over the street is still a fixed amount of geography. so we're going to try to figure out how not to move buildings back but how do we accommodate all of the diverse trucks and pedestrians and traffic. it's difficult to make it all work. so that first option makes modest improvements. in this option is makes significant improvements for cycle folks but without compromising this the trade-off would be it would be a great bicycl

scientists believe the experiment could lead to the discovery of other dimensions beyond length and widthspected that they exist, but lack the knowledge to detect them. they also hope to learn about black holes, the dark voids in the universe that swallow up stars. a group of fringe scientists believe the collider might even create a black hole that could swallow up the earth. and they filed suit to stop the project from going forward. james gillies doesn't seem to be too concerned. if you've never done this before, at least with a collider this big, how do you know that it wouldn't create a black hole? >> we don't know that it won't do that, but we know that if it's producing these little black holes, then they are decaying and they're not doing anything dangerous to us. >> not gonna swallow the earth. >> no. >> you sure of that? >> absolutely. >> scientists at cern say we only understand about 4% of the known universe. and it took a century to turn the discovery of electrons into an ipod. there's not likely to be a eureka moment here. it may take years of analyzing data to produce the f

>> the structures that face the embarcadero and no higher and general width and dimension of the existing embarcadero structures. those are the only two significant features on the arena side. on the sea wall side there is currently shown a podium and 40 feet and that is equivalent to the lowest surrounding buildings to the south. above that and that's the reason why we have proposed the two type structures to get as much into them as possible to keep the podium as low as possible. we understand it's an interesting idea and people have issues and we are looking at that concept. >> it's like glazing and looks irresdescent and like munich and what is that appearance? >> the building will be approximately 50% glass where the areas of visitors will be. much of the arena at the highest systems and mechanical structures are not glass and some type of metal and we're still evaluating that and there will be a fair amount of glass so you have direct view to the area and the exterior of the building. it's not meant to be -- and some people are saying birds will fly in and we are aware of those issu

you have length, you have width. who gives--who provides the third dimension? the believer. the believer provides the depth to the icon. in effect then what we try to capture here in brotherhood way is a church which lifts you toward heaven, out into space, always elevating your mind with contemporary design and byzantine-- traditional byzantine features and art which is really traditional. you'll always see a depiction of christ because we want christ to be emphasized at all times, that he is the center of our life. [music] all who view this tape will come to a better appreciation of byzantine art, byzantine or orthodox architecture-- even though it might be contemporary, it has byzantine features-- and come to a deeper understanding of what means to know that art and architecture are not just things that came from the west. much of what we have today came from the east. it's very nice to see you. well, thank you very much for graciously allowing us to experience this wonderful building. indeed, a wonderful building. it's a pleasure. and god bless all of you. - thank you. -

we learned there are limitations in things of band width and video feed that i'm not qualified to talk about, i'm strictly a push to talk guy. we know as a city when the earth moves, things fall, we get a lot of rubble. that's going to be one of our critical, critical things we have to do. we have to be able to move material and personnel and one of the ways we're going to be doing that is how do we actually get the debris off the road so we can put things back to work. so that was the command of control exercise. we had the marine corps, the navy, and the national guard all working with our department of public works figuring out how would they work together. we didn't give them a lot of coaching, we just kind of put them in a tent and said here is your scenario, here's some problems, and we wanted them to work it out and they did. so it was a very successful year. that's what we did as far as the field exercises. next year i don't know what's next, we're going to explore the lessons learned from this one, we've already learned a bunch, they're going to talk about this shortly then le

practice of measuring objects using arbitrary but finite units, like the length of a finger or the width of a palm. and as we do today, units like inches or centimeters, these are arbitrary but commonly held divisions of length. now, the greeks believed that given any two lengths, an arbitrary unit of some kind could always be found to measure both lengths in whole-number multiples, meaning that the two lengths are always commensurate, or commensurable. now, pythagoras was perhaps the first to articulate this belief based on whole numbers, and it came from his observations about music. pythagoras noted that if two commensurate strings were strummed to vibrate, then the tones that they produced would be pleasing in harmony. thus, pythagoras and his followers believed that all that is good and harmonious in the world must be based on whole-number ratios and that all measurement must be rational. it was a philosophy that became almost religious in nature but then they encountered something that they couldn't explain with this rational model, something which challenged the very core of their
