or a buffer zone to be created inside syria and what we understand is that such as zone would extend some twenty kilometers inside syrian territory but the problem is that to create any kind of humanitarian zone you need to have a no fly zone in which it certainly suggests foreign intervention and there has been a lot of criticism about this from the international community certainly the united nations security council has not given its nod when and clipboard to stop in the past but we do understand that anchor is going to ask the u.n. security council later this month to create this buffer zone it is highly unlikely that russia and china will give its nod but certainly we are witnessing a growing humanitarian crisis at the same time we know that the head of the international committee for the red cross is in damascus they are meeting with syrian officials who are trying to find together some kind of way of assisting these refugees and resolving the situation has been quite some time in those camps talking to some of these refugees and i can back up from firsthand experience what the

the euro zone survive? >> yes. >> grease will still be in the euro zone. >> rose: provide i make mack cises. i. >> fran saw elanbelieves you have to have growth and temper austerity. >> you have to have both, a balanced budget, and to-- if you don't have growth you don't have a fiscal impediment. >> rose: will turkey become a member of europe? a member of nato but not a member of europe. >> why not? they been long term. i was speaking about meade union term, why? a., because they are not excretely repairs for that. andy know we have a lot of conditions to fulfill, and they're not filling all. and one must not forget that. they are nearly at war with cypress, can which is a number of uranium. how can you have two members of the same community refusing to recognition -- >> that's the big thing. get rid of the cypress issue. >> you have the cypress issue, which is obvious, and you have the implementation and another question. tusche is a mation i was in country, a block the country. >> rose: and an influential

of a pedestrian zone. it's dangerous. there is no enforcement when the truck comes and goes and the truck can move feel freely if they come later or early. we all know what happened to the santa monica's farmers market, where we had a truck/vehicle move into a pedestrian zone and cause a bad accident. it's not good to mix cars and pedestrian zones. there is no parking enforcement because mta vehicles cannot get in there to check. the meter is almost never fed during this period of time. so we would really like to make sure we keep this a pedestrian zone. we don't need themate cleaning up dpw's mistakes. they should not have issued a permit where there is a pedestrian zone. you should not be cleaning up their mess incorrectly. do not let this get changed. >> you are speaking to l? >> yes. >> and matthew wexler is the next member of public and he is the last member of the public who submited a speaker card. >> good afternoon. >> my name is matthew wexler, i'm the owner of the food truck that has the permit f

for those of you who have euro zone crisis fatigue and i have to tell you i'm guilty of it time to wake up. you're looking at pictures from the first major general strike and protest in greece since its new coalition government was formed this was reportedly organized by civil service and other public sector unions over fresh wage and pension cuts higher fuel taxes and planned job cuts for public workers there was some tear gas some around us what we've really come to expect now. in spain as i was say you're looking at pictures now protests against what's tapped publicly. popularly as austerity this is outside barricaded parliament in madrid while spanish government bond yields i should mention broke above six per cent so all of these demonstrations of dissent belie politicians solutions for the eurozone crisis which hinge on integration and more issues lend evidence to a mood of disintegration let me give you another example immigration not just the human capital flight out of say greece into another girl's own country with more opportunity for jobs i'm talking about immigration into t

or a buffer zone to be created inside syria and what we understand is that such as zone would extend some twenty kilometers inside syrian territory but the problem is that to create any kind of humanitarian zone you need first to have a no fly zone in which it certainly suggests foreign intervention and there has been a lot of criticism about this from the international community certainly the united nations security council has not given its nod when and where brought this up in the past but we do understand that anchor is going to ask the u.n. security council later this month to create this buffer zone it is highly unlikely that russia and china will give its nod to the situation in these refugee camps is a crisis in jordan itself we're looking here at one hundred eighty thousand refugees who are already in the country and the authorities there just like and able to cope jordan has its own lack of water at the same time there have been various incidents where some of the refugees have had clashes with security police who prevented them from leaving the camps now it's been quite so

is now the zones of being called so-called liberated zones areas that are in the hands of rebels and they will ultimately be governing themselves but what has become clear is that this whole offering of these kind of zones is really an alternative by the waist to nigeria that it has put forward and that is namely buffer zones to be created inside of syrian territory the idea that did not receive approval at the united nations security council because of the positions of russia and china be concerned really is that you create a buffer zone merely as a pretext for creating military intervention because with out having a no fly zone you cannot create a buffer zone and to create a no fly zone you certainly need to have military involvement and to this in the french foreign minister has admitted and i'm quoting him there to ensure the protection of displaced people they must be anti aircraft and yes it's as well as ground forces that would also be needed what is the coming clear is that paris has become the locomotive of the syrian opposition paris has said that the opposition in syria ne

welcome back we're talking to euro zone reporter. now let's go straight to spain not only do we see protests that have been going on there and we have footage of that that were showing and from what i've read parliament was barricaded i think you can see the barricades in those images but also catalonia wants to six see it at least it has a growing secession movement that now they're having elections which could be a referendum on independence and catalonia is a very canonically important region to spain were responsible for a fifth of g.d.p. so how do you see what appears to be the growing dissension in spain impacting both the country's ability to manage its economic crisis but also its borrowing costs. well as thing is reconcile the case with counseling and spain is like like a miniature euro zone problem you have a really rich and prosperous region that sees itself as potentially viable i was spending. as a as an independent country so frankly it's a question of transfer as you're asking the richer more prosperous got to learn th

create a buffer zone and to create a no fly zone you certainly need to have military involvement and to this in the french foreign minister has admitted and i'm quoting him there to ensure the protection of displaced people they must be anti aircraft and yes it's as well as ground forces that would also be needed what is the coming clear is that paris has become the locomotive of the syrian opposition paris has said that the opposition in syria needs to unite and that it is standing by to recognize the opposition as the official government of syria the recreate coming out of powerless against assad is also increasing we're hearing from the french foreign minister that the assad regime needs to be smashed the problem is that when you use this kind of rhetoric and when you start sending heavy artillery into syria you doing everything except promoting peace initiatives it really. and you did me opposite with many saying that the scene is being created for more violence more death more destruction and more devastation inside syria. tel aviv and geopolitical research at f l says the rebel

euro zone problem you have a really rich and prosperous region. as potentially viable i was spending. as an independent country so frankly it's a question of transfer as you're asking the richer more prosperous got to learn the ins to foot the bill for the rest of the country to some extent i think it's indicative of the fact that spain which is a massive country in administrative really a collection of a very very independent very free and autonomy as regions as having. pushing through a stereo be. and. in terms of volatility and the question of whether it is government and spain can keep it together during very taxing the very difficult times for the country on the verge of a proper bailout not a bailout just for the countries it's right and we keep hearing rumblings in kind of reports of discussions about a spanish bailout and earlier we're talking about the way that the politicians sell a bailout to their electorate is there a difference in the way that spain we need to spain's politicians i should say we need to sell a bailout to their electo

well that depends on what we consider the euro zone that we're talking about euro zone financial. probably a little bit of time or they have you know another round of really good. isn't that we're talking about european society you know regular regular equal i don't think they have any reason to be optimistic and they haven't had any reason to be optimistic. need to know a little bit more time or financial decisions because in you don't. extrapolate ing well from. there but i mean let's address the issue when you're there in spain let's address the issue as you were just alluding to that how do people feel for example that spain borrowing costs would go up at a bond auction today it looks like a good sign but the people in spain react to the up and down financial developments with optimism a bit of hope surely there must be some light at the end of the tunnel here. well actually there really doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel honestly i think actually the normal folks on the street are listening. when with these. words all the properties of the streets. here twent

so how did the superintendent zone schools perform? well, we know when we look at the five year trend that superintendent zone schools have posted double the gains in english language arts and posted triple the gains in mathematics as compared to the district. you see that in similar bar graphs that you saw earlier and ela proficiency rates the district grew ten points over the last five years from 51 to 61 and while the superintendent zone had a much lower proficiency rate starting in 2008 at 19%, you see a 16.1 growth over five years to 36. still a ways to go but what you notice there compared to the district there's significant more accelerated growth rate. please also note in 2010 is when we launched the superintendent zone. in the third set of bar graphs you see there has been an 18.4 growth in rates in the superintendent zoned schools that benefit from improvement grant money, so those came into our district in mid-2011 so you notice there that also a significant increase in proficiency. for mathematics you see the same kind of c

to zone three, the center section. the overall time line for the project, we are still in the excavation phase but you can see the below grade package coming online shortly, followed by super structure and on in to the completion. currently with bs & e work the pre-trenching cdsm, a good majority more than half buttress work is completed. two out of three traffic bridges are completed, excavation is well underway. we are right on the time line we had set for completion of all the bse work by early part of 2014. gives you a site overview, the red line represents a trestle. one of the things as we have connected that zone. the contractor has connected that into the first street bridge, which gives them full access in and out for their trucks, making the route easier to manage. there's no ramps coming up the side. it is a little better for traffic people concerned. that access trestle will continue into zone three in the coming months. this is a new graphic that's being maintained, managed for us by the program management

the poorest economy in the euro zone has turned around and said we don't want your your over because your grand design is deeply flawed it's built on sand it's a catastrophe and actually the finance minister himself made a great statement today he said our citizens are worried that if we join the euro we won't know who we have to bail out and that's a very poignant point because of course he knows that neighboring countries such as for example slovenia have been clubbed to do huge financial repercussions of the slovakians and indeed others because the join of the euro secure mainly it as they've joined the euro they've been forced to end up spending money to subsidize the pensions of people in greece who are actually getting a higher pension than the pensioners are in these countries. it's ironic because bulgaria has been acclaimed by many as a shining example of a country that did austerity right now if years if it joins it will have to bail out countries that couldn't do it right like you said greasy in the mix of things is that an algerian picture and how far will this go i mean h

fires a fast ball right in the zone. moore gets it and gets the catch, big first down on third down for the raiders. >> ian: darius heyward-bey now along oakland sideline working with the trainer. giordano has leg cramps he's get an i.v. in the locker room. hagan along with rod streater, rookie out of temple. >> dan: here is streater and hagan. >> ian: first down just inside the 20. rush coming. palmer gets rid of it. come backer for streater then hit by taylor. >> dan: because of injuries in the preseason streater was the raiders leading receiver. very comfortable with his quarterback, carson palmer. >> ian: it's a finger injury for heyward-bey. lost jacoby ford in the preseason for the rest of year he was a big weapon for carson palmer. second and five now for the raiders. palmer over the middle. finds a soft spot there with denarius moore he's cut down right at the ten yard line just short of first down by larry foote, the linebacker. >> dan: see confidence building in this offense led by carson palmer. he's getting b

superintendent zone and we provide additional resources and support. again we want to thank you for your attention. we went through a lot of information in a very short amount of time but again we wanted to celebrate the small wins and the big accomplishments and ladies and gentlemen that are listening at home and those here in the audience what we do not want to leave the public with is the misinterpretation of this dat that less funding allows you increase student achievement. we are at a critical junctionure in california and san francisco and were it not for the heroic efforts of our teachers, of our professionals, of our support staff and principals and administrators we would not see the growth that we have seen but they can only work like this for so long and we're at the critical point to continue this work. we know what to do now we need the resources to do that district wide so thank you for your attention this evening. we are happy to answer questions. [applause] >> thank you superintendent carranza and other staff members that presented the

it is a retro grade project, it removes the zoning that is in place and goes back to prior zoning or of zoning that never was in place, three storey building with 49 units is not a comparable situation to any brand new build on valencia street. as far as the historic issue as to whether this building is compatible or not, the example i bring to the commission to consider is something like where bush street intersects grant at the chinatown gate, there's a clear distinction of a boundary there and we need to address this situation in the same way. one thing that impressed me more than about how preservation works, it's a rigorous process, the liberty hill boundary was created deliberately and with a lot of thought. this boundary is exactly one lot away from the project site, this site is not influenced by or directly impacting the two storey houses that were shown. what was not shown in the lovely photos of the in tact victorians is the five storey victorian that is within the historic building that is the multiunit building that takes out the entire block and takes up the entire yard
