do you have all the resources that you need? have you collected all the material that you need if you are going to start doing a lifting exercise because someone is trapped? because you never start a rescue, you never start a lifting exercise, never start anything, unless you know you are going to be able to finish it, have enough of the resources to do it. and do you have the right equipment? you need specialized equipment? do you have access to that? maybe, maybe not. so size up, you want to establish your priorities, make your decisions. you want to come up with a plan and after you have a plan, you want to take action. remember, it's continuous fact gathering process. you want to evaluate your progress. there are 50 percent of the people can be rescued by who? this is where you come in for the next 30 percent to make it 80 percent of the people. the next 30 percent of the people can be rescued by you people. then there's another 15 percent, that's where the fire department comes in, or the sheriff's department, people who are

yes, you need 2 exits or no you don't need 2 exits and yes, you need fire sprinklers it's good to have a preapplication meeting with fire. if you are far enough along in your space and architect and designers so you know what the questions will be. this is not a general discussion. here are the issues we would like to address. we're happy to do that and 586139 is the number to call. >> there is a cost. preapplication meetings, you know how much? >> 300. 350 dollars? something like that a few hundred dollars. >> tip 6. work with a real estate attorney and contractor when negotiating the lees or purchasing a business much this is part of developing a team. we had a talk with real estate gp development people doing the not very nice way of saying it, flipping buildings in san francisco. purchasing buildings, improving them and selling them. some ask, why does it take me 8 months and they do it in 3 months? what's the difference? the difference it turned out on lengthy discussion is they have a team, they know what they are doing. they know how to get a permit. they got the plans prepared

>> you need a permit from the fire department to light candles in your restaurant and you also need apermit to play music in your restaurant that come from the entertainment commission, i believe. >> right. >> permits to play music. >> yes, ma'am. >> [inaudible]. the permits and the size. >> about signs? >> from the planning department. and their number is here on this sheet in the middle of the page. 558-6377. >> under that same note, there are i think we created 8 historic districts in the city. you have down at forth and townsend we have a restaurant there, that's a historic district. even getting the signage was an extra step of going before the landmarks commission not just planning to be able to get that sign approved. >> more work. now why do we have so many regulations in san francisco? it's not this hard in other places. because the board of supervisors and past regulation base on the demands they are elected officials and elected by you because you want things done and that's why we have all the regulations. we have all the code amendments to the california building code. sa

it used to say an accessible entry and now you need accessible exits as well. for new accessible for remodels red you with use the second exit. >> the lift, ironically we got a call from a client who wants to install an out door lift to get from the garage and the platform at the main level of the house. i was wondering whether wise is that allowed in san francisco. i see by the brochure of the lift manufacture they do outside lifts. i was concerned about pushing electrical butt ons on it. >> i see out door lifts in the city and they need more service but are listed and approved. >> if you want information about golden gate association can they give a call. >> 781-5348 extension one. website is ggra. org. there is hundreds of pages of data on the website. >> like to thank kevin lesly from golden gate restaurant association. thank you very much. [applause]. thank you for coming. we will see you next time.

medical shinlts, you don't need -- assistants, you don't need a phd, you need a short-term certificate program, welders, holy jesus. >> welders! >> you could be a high school dropout and if you can weld stainless steel, you're going to be hired tomorrow. >> in the bay area. >> in the bay area, >> what are they welding? >> government is building buildings. we have an oversupply of houses, but the federal government is the one that can keep printing money and they can keep trying to "stimulate the economy" by printing more money and in their little ways raising taxes. >> so you still like the government as a place to look for a job. >> i like contractors. recovery.gov. it will so the entities, the businesses that got government contracts from the feds and try to work. that will tell you who's in hiring mode. contact them directly, even if they're not having an advertisement and tell them here are my skills, might you need somebody. they're more likely to be there. >> green jobs, are they coming from the government or not? >> government contractors, especially, green is still very big. re

, you need to find a way to fix it. if there needs to be out there more programs for these people, more resources where they can get to as soon as possible, you know, where they can speak their languages cause alcohol doesn't have any color or any face, any language. it comes in any, it can be anybody. and then problems sounds like, you just, you can deal with it if you seek for help, then addiction sounds more like you are in serious problem. i think it's the same thing, i mean i think that if you have an addiction, you have a problem. you know, if you have a problem, you could possibly have an addiction. so the same thing goes you know, they need help, they have an illness and they need support. if i told you i was in recovery, what does recovery mean to you? i, i think you're really trying to get, get back on the right track and, and i would certainly pray for you and hope that you could stay there and get better because recovery is very difficult you, first of all you have to admit that you need the recovery. and the

more than 49 people you need to have 2 exits. nothing but trouble. san francisco you have a property line well on each side and the back doesn't go anywhere, how do you get 2 exits? people put a corridor up one side and it runs down the side of the restaurant and out front. or if it has alot of street frontage the separation of exits is good. 50 percent half the diagnol distance. if you have a rectangular restaurant you look at 50 percent of the diagonal distance and that's how far the exits have to be. as we adopt the new california building code based on the international building code it says that separation only needs to be a third. it's less in a building that has fire sprinklers. which is many san francisco buildings. that will really help in small businesses and restaurants with the terrible exiting problem. in a sprinkler space a third of the diagonal distance as of january first. and only one exit is required for a residential building. as of january first. that's a huge thing. not fur but for us. we haven't be able to figure out how to get p

i said i don't have enough food and water for you you need to make your own kit. i did trainings at work and church. like you sitting here the red cross sent me to a summit. i was sitting there and someone talked about prepare bay area. and the goal of prepare bay area was to prepare one million residents for the earthquake. and it wasn't red cross prepares bay area. it was simply prepare bay area. whether it was the fire department. whether it was me talk to the community, whether it was you, it was about everybody getting together and preparing. the red cross came to me and i said why don't you come on staff and do it officially. so i joined the staff 5 months ago to get the prepare message across. we are doing that with what do we have to do to get your attention? and some of you have seen the cards in the back of the room that show market street after an earthquake. everyone asked when was this taken. the picture was taken tomorrow. the question is, are you ready? how many of you have your disaster kits? that's good. we can do better. 83 percent of the bay area

you, usually. it makes your job easier. rotate personnel as needed. people are going to get burned out, get tired. you don't want them to get hurt. take frequent breaks, eat and drink frequently and talk about what's going on. what's the disaster registry? we talked about this before. at each fire house there's a list of people in the neighborhood around that fire house, in that district, that may have mobility problems, they have special needs. if you guys know anybody that has those, get in touch with us, we can give them the form and basically have them fill it out. what they will do is put the person's name and address in a lock box in the fire house. one of the jobs of the nert volunteers is to go to the fire house, get this lock box, they have the key, get the list of the names and send people out to check on them. for whatever reason, they might still be there. . >> exercise. basically to get you to start thinking how to prioritize the disaster and how you would send teams out to which incident you would handle. so let's make the assumption, tod

>> the first thing you need to do is look at what available area do you have. typically most residential systems gone on rooftops. in urban areas like this, we don't have big yards. they will go on rooftops. you need to have good southern access to sun. things that can impact your solar access are buildings in your vicinity, big trees, things that will keep the sun from reaching the available area on your house. >> how can i test myself before i get experts out to determine whether solar panels are going to work for me? i know, for example, one of my neighbors has an additional story. so sometimes that, you know, it's a little shady over there for a variety of reasons, but are there things that i can do in advance of having the experts out? >> sure. if you have access to your roof, you can go up there with a compass and face south and kind of look to the east and the west and see what's going to -- what's going to cast shadows. if there say large obstruction like a neighbor's house or a large tree directly to the south, it gets a little more complicated trying

and we can give you copies, anybody needs it. you have my card give me a ring. >> laurence, the building department put together an informational quick sheet guide. it's 11 by 17 and gives a great many examples of clearances through bathrooms, entrances, work spaces is and counters. we have a hand out. this so called quick sheet which provides a lot of that information. >> do we get that here today. >> go to dbi and get it or call me and i will send you a copy. >> called quick sheet? >> quick sheet. >> you have a uni~ sex bathroom? >> okay. >> what about transgender? >> good question. restrooms can you have uni~ sex restrooms? how does the city transgender law role in to whether you need separate restrooms. a lot of restaurants in the city do have uni~ sex restrooms much the important thing from the building department's view is we have a sufficient number of facilities. that number is found in a table in the building code. table 829 a. i have a copy here. basically have you to have a sufficient number. the building code specifica

we're experts at getting you the power chair or scooter you need. if we qualify you for medicare reimbursement and medicare denies your claim, we'll give you your new power chair or scooter free. i didn't pay a penny out of pocket for my power chair. with help from the scooter store, medicare and my insurance covered it all. call the scooter store for free information today. >>> one of the great things about getting a little older is that you get to go out on your own. but just because you're old enough doesn't mean you're safe enough. as amanda reports, you need to develop your personal safety skills. or as we call them, "street smarts." >> reporter: what's wrong with this picture? you guessed it. texting isn't only bad when you're driving, it's not safe when you're walking, either. not only is this girl annoying people who have to get out of her way, she could be setting herself up for some serious trouble. being aware of your surroundings is serious business. the national center for victims of crime reports 12 to 24-year-olds are more likely to b

but until you know what kind of data you need to collect, because the valuation is necessary, you are not asking the right questions. which brings us to how we measure quality. i think we all measure quality differently. but we need to have that conversation. how do you measure the kinds of things we are actually providing for our students? it is a much larger question for us to ask. i am not opposed to going to the outside for our evaluation. if we need to go and think about raising private dollars to help us to the evaluation from the outside so we are thinking differently about it and not just trying to give what we are accustomed to outputing, and looking at how -- the impact of our kids have based on what we normally do, i am willing to raise that money. having a pair of eyes from the outside looking in could make a difference

it is better than if you need to go to an office. you do not need to go to your office. there are also similar programs for bicycles. we also worked on business areas. !Ñppwe started sharing bicycles, scooters, car sharing, people who live in the same village for the same street, different companies, we brought them together so they could share a vehicle. we also were in discussion with the local authorities about optimizing the public transport. if you know how many people work in an area and you know where they live, it is much easier to negotiate a direct line for public transport. what we also did we organized a bureau that was helping companies, and also smaller companies, by making mobility part of their common sense of how to organize their own organization. this whole program cost about $130 million. about one-quarter of it was paid by the employers, two-thirds is paid by the local authorities, and the employers have also cost for their own organization. what are the benefits? the benefits are, in the organization, cutting costs. you do not have the cost of the p

you need to keep flexible. the biggest problem i have now is people trying to solve my problems for me to invest in today to solve something 30 or 40 years from now and to make huge capitol investments today might not be the right approach and you need to all look at that in our own utilities. we need to react and not over-react and do things that don't make sense and cause our rate payer as lot of sense and are not going to contribute to solveg the problem. we're going to get a lot more information year by years we go forward. finally i would really reiterate what you really need to do is try and get control overall those things you know you can control. that up certainty that currently is there. i would try to grab that and minimize that because the climate change is so uncertain you can't have or an afford to have other uncertainty in your system. thank you. [applause] >> good morning., i'm edward campbell and planning deck tore for portland oregon and i'm here on behalf of our water bureau who sends his reg

you want to go in -- first thing you need to do is always try to get in the easiest way. what do you want to use to force entry? you can use axs, you are use pry bars or jacks, car jacks. you need to do a lift, you don't have any levers, there's some cars parked outside, you go up and ask the owner of the car, is it okay if i use your car jack? because you're not going to break in, are you? there's always cutting and boring. here is that ax. of course striking and hammering. how do you break glass? at the top, good. we're going to say that this is the glass from here on down, so how would you break it? do i just want to take it like this and smash it this way? no. the end of the board, going to use the end of the board, but i'm also going to remember that the glass can hurt me. if i were to hit it like this, the glass could slide down, cut my hand. so you want to start at the top like he said, hold this down, turn your head away, you start at the top and smash the glass this way down like that. if it does slide down, it's going to go away from you and not towards your hand

the first month because there's only - well no big city book editor did it so to be a best seller you need new york times or the chronicle or boston globes to give you good book reviews. no national t.v. or, m pr so paul said what's going on out there. i said, you know this is what i think it's about book clubs and women's groups, synagogues, mosques and churches and an incredible amount of book clubs here in the bay view area and about people yearning for piece and looking for the answers of peace. any ways it's been really incredible and aspire together see people from all walks of life i really think can re late to promoting peace one child at a time. we got some news last month that the pentagon purchased 5,000 copies. let me finish it. and it's for counter intelligence training, 101 and mandatory reading for they're course encounter intelligence. this is in tan sa any a. i went there when i was three years old and my father founded a medical center and my mother started a school. it was a wonderful childhood. i went to school with children from two dozen countries. with jews and chris

we need you to get the people's business done. we need you to fight for solutions because we are suffering. small businesses are still having difficulty growing. we're still having difficulty creating the jobs that are necessary to grow us out of this tough economy. that's what we're called to do. i think gabby's story certainly inspires me and can inspire all of us. >> thanks for updating us this morning. we appreciate it. look forward to having you back. >> thank you. >>> the chair of the democratic policy committee, senator chuck schumer and the senator from oklahoma, tom coburn. welcome to both of you. congress gets back to business this week, back to the agenda. there's going to be a new piece. on the cover of the week magazine, locked and loaded, guns, politics and the tucson tragedy. i want to read i want to read what the president of the brady campaign said enough is enough. tucson shooter, arizona new faces of weak gun laws. the 22-year-old shooter in tucson was not allowed to enlist in the military, was asked to leave sch

hearing, you need a 4-7. that was a discussion. 8 -- >> is that when the change took place, eight years ago? >> yeah. >> the other reason the apellant goes first is the apellant has the burden of proof. the apellant has the burden of proof in a situation where the super majority is required. >> i think it is prejudicial to the apellant for the fact they have to go first for the rebuttal period. they should have the option. i don't have a problem with that. it would be complicated to say you can go first or last, but to me, the fact that they have to go first creates a higher burden on them than the issue we're having due with, you know, rebuttal. i find -- man, i thate to gitch a percentage, because i'm not noletised enough, but 5% of rebuttals have something in there worth reading other than the guy is wrong, he lied? you know, i didn't shoot my mother-in-law. so do -- to do away with rebuttals is not problem matic in terms of what we gain from it. i think it is too complicated to say when do you do your boa

you need to set up a date night. you need to set up a time when the kids have gone to bed. f, you look at each other, you talk about things. i saw a stat the other day that said if you have a television in your bedroom, your sex life declines 50%. okay, so if you got a tv in your bedroom, let's turn that off, and you're going to double things right away on the intimacy front, so you've got to resolve to do this. and if you say, well, it seems phony if it's forced, the more pheny phoney it seems, the more you need to do it. >> suze, we have a question for you, this one from sherry in ohio, and she writes "i'm in the middle of a dissolution of my marriage. i'm torn on whether to become a homeowner again afterwards. i think my net from the current home will be tax free, but is there a time period or rule that says i must roll those particular funds back into a home investment? should i even become a homeowner again?" >> well, you know, years ago it used to be that if you sold a home you had two years to adopt, to buy it. all those are out the window. it's very simple. if it's y

at that to protect the public, you need a fence that approximately -- he needed a fence at approximately this location. if you were going to have a 5 foot drop next to the sidewalk, i think you need a fence between that drop and the sidewalk. we also think, though it is the height of the interior that is on the outfield, because of the change in grade, it is not significantly higher than the height of the sidewalk. so obviously -- what has been built above that now it is out netting, it is there to stop baseballs. it is not there to stop people. the interior fence, again, if there was no higher fence at the sidewalk line, would have to be substantially higher itself to protect from people accessing the baseball field from there. did that make sense? commissioner hwang: i think so. just when i looked at your photographs, it appeared it was more a way to enclose the field and protect the field from the public. that seemed to be more the reason for the fence, rather than the safety concerns of the public. >> i think it is both. again, i think this condition -- something would need to be don

you will need this kind of environmental study and so on. you want to get as much useful information as possible. but we have right now is limited and we might not have all the information that is relevant. we also want to give early design comments or just general comments may be based on planning department policy or other projects or issues that they will have to deal with and we will let them know that. the good thing is that it will create more ordination between the department of visions and we will get into how that will work later. this is not a project approval or denial. we are committed to turning this letter within 60 days. several projects had gone very well. people are being out on vacation. id republished on the web site. just to get into the internal processing, i will not go into too much detail. we will have questions later if you like. essentially, you have the application and the sponsor can opt to have a brief meeting with the signers if they like. they don't have to. essentially, a copy of the application and plans, ther

i said i don't have enough food and water for you you need to make your own kit. i did trainings at work and church. like you sitting here the red cross sent me to a summit. i was sitting there and someone talked about prepare bay area. and the goal of prepare bay area was to prepare one million residents for the earthquake. and it wasn't red cross prepares bay area. it was simply prepare bay area. whether it was the fire department. whether it was
