with us. you-you-you have to understand that while substance use is really a function of availability and access, almost anybody will use, addiction itself is largely biological and genetic. you have a gene that gets expressed. and that-and we don't know how, we don't know what goes on, but once that happens you've got a disease, and it's a disease that frankly we don't have a cure for. but it's one that can be managed, through recovery. and that is indeed the whole issue of dealing with it as a medical condition, and-and, as such, how do we begin to heal the whole person? pam? well, i think the conversation we had a little bit earlier about medication-assisted treatment goes along with this, because the more we understand the biological nature of addiction, and we're learning more and more through research about what chemicals happen in the brain and why this happens to some folks and not others, but it helps us understand the diseased process of this. so whether it's a medication that assist

we're used to stream a phone. the answer is in our plastics this antioxidant is added to baby's bottles bottles and packaging but it also risky. i was really shocked because you have to imagine these are test concentrations which can be found in every surface water and it is hard to believe i confess that at these very low environmentally relevant concentrations such harmful effects like the killing of kenyans isn't used. to. the scientists are really beginning to discover that the plastics in the oceans release chemical substances into the environment which have effects that are still and know. how much escapes once the products are in the water. how do these pollutants accumulate in the food chain. on the remaining animals affected. and to what extent. it. was. that's what the crew of the world one left fine and i mean trying to find out by studying the mediterranean fin way the world's second largest whale. yellow dots are there so we got plenty of them. to know these animals are contaminated the scientists nee

we can use them. there is some belief that some agencies will look at this differently if they thought they were going to be a basis for this allocation. this is the one number that these there was agreement within and among the agencies. it does have a standing as a guarantee, and so, we have always tried to figure out how to improve that. if you look at the wholesale supply, agreement, it talks about having a transfer process. if there is not enough to go around with in those guarantees during this interim period, there could be transfers among agencies. i think we were trying to assert ourselves in some way in option four and other options to try to make it easier to be more flexible in how the allocation might happen, should we need to make it happen, but the contract does of the process, application process. it is the transfer process, and it is in the contract. option five premeds as to use what is in the contracts. i am not sure if that helps or not. >> why would east palo alto have that? commi

these men and women remind us that heroism is found not only on the fields of battle, they remind us that heroism does not require special training or physical strength. heroism is here in the hearts of so many of our fellow citizens all around us just waiting to be summoned as it was on saturday morning. their actions, their selflessness poses a challenge to each of us. it raises the question of what beyond prayers and expressions of concern is required of us going forward. how can we honor the fallen? how can we be true to their memory? you see, when a tragedy like this strikes it is part of our nature to demand explanations, to try to impose some order on the chaos and make sense out of that which seems senseless. already we've seen the national conversation commence not only about the motivations behind these killings but about everything from the merits of gun safety laws to the adequacy of our mental health system. and much of this process of debating what might be done to prevent such tragedies in the future is an essential ingredient in our exercise of self-government. but at

use as an accessory. the second option, which is probably more problematic, and that we find that it is a legal nonconforming use, therefore, we find some bit of history. vice president garcia: should be asked for a continuance to allow time to make sure we are on safe ground with the accessory use, or do you feel that is something we should do? commissioner fung: i think we can do this for written findings for our final decision. if there is a will. i am going to move that we find that the proposed space can be used as an accessory used the property management of the building in which it resides -- an accessory use, with findings to follow. president goh: you mean exclusive -- commissioner fung: of that building only. secretary pacheco: that the motion is to overrule the penalty, with findings to come. commissioner fung: yes. secretary pacheco: on that motion to overrule, with findings to be adopted at a later time, president goh, vice president garcia, commissioner peterson, hw commissionerang. -- commi

not so good words to use. for example, we want to talk about recovery, we don't want to talk about addiction. addiction is where people are stuck in the problem. recovery is where people get into the solution and that's what it's all about, giving people hope and healing and a new way of life. some of the main questions that we receive is, what kind of training is this, you know? and when you say, media message training, that means that if the media... put a microphone and camera to my face and say, joe, i heard that you used drugs and alcohol before. and who are you? and how do i respond to the media and how do i respond to where the community and the public can know that the benefits of long-term recovery? i think the main message there is that people in long-term recovery can move onto advocate for people with addictions and people to also get long-term recovery like they did. the message is real clear that the benefits of recovery, it works, and that's a reality for many people that's in recovery today. lu

use development 11 stories tall. on there is ground floor retail space. the conditional use authorization approved by the commission to allow the building to have stracke access and of st. parking. when the project was approved, the commission directed the project sponsor to addressed two design concerns. the concerns are as the avalos, increasing his issued and creating more interest in the design. the project sponsor has decreased the windows. although not required by the commission, the project sponsor move the location to the eastern portion of the building to the western portion. this would allow the project sponsor to increase the commercial area as well as the garage opening. at this point, the staff and a project sponsors seeking feedback regarding the design and the design response to the commission's concerns. >> is there any public comment or does the project sponsor wish to comment on this? >> good afternoon, commissioners. i have the same information which is in your hand out there. i would like to give

not at last for some of us. despite all differences, we need the healing that laguna honda is famous for. some people who come will be rehabilitated and will leave sunday. others will need 24-hour care for the rest of their lives, and so they will look forward to spending time in the spending -- in this building for years to come. it is exciting to have a new building. it is even more exciting to receive a new model of care, care that is resident centered, care that honors each person as an individual instead of a body in a bed. care that involves talking to us, and more important, listening to us, hearing our voices. so many have worked so hard, has you have been told -- as you have been told, to bring the state to pass. and now we have a dazzling new setting to present to you. when you leave today, you will be going home. but laguna honda residents will not be leaving. this is our home. and it is very important to us. we are already here. but please come back and visit us frequently. this wonderful new laguna

the car use went down, the bicycle use went up. higher parking fees are very effective in decrease in car use and increasing other modes of use -- in decrease in car use iqi 5u9 it was quite effective. another thing, peter talked about the parking permit. in amsterdam, you have to wait two and half years before it because you -- you have to wait two and a half years for the parking permit. >> people except they can just not have a car. in amsterdam, the other modes of transport are so well-organized, it is just like in the hague, a car is more of a new sense that a create a car is more of a nuisance and liability. it is expensive. the other modes of transport are much more convenient. >> ok, mike, you have a question? use the microphone, please. >> separated bike paths in the united states are controversial, and they're slowly catching on. how important is it to have those facilities in place? is it maybe a quarter of importance, 50% of the attraction for people to take their bikes? i'm wondering how important it is. >> i think tha

thing to do with what's going to govern us china relationships is going to govern us china relationship is the chinese assessment of their security and their needs and the u.s. assessment of its security and its needs so i am in a way i'm kind of annoyed at the administration because they pretend like going and being honest with the chinese is actually getting us somewhere which is not look first of all that the chinese have lots of our secrets already because they stole them. and second of all is the chinese give us nothing in return for our open and honest discussions here and we know they don't give us anything in return so it does seem all of a bit of a like a dance well when they released or when this photo came out the other week do you think the chinese are using that to kind of get the ball rolling get people to start talking about it make americans get a little scared well this was this a p.r. move well actually i think it's the opposite there was a chinese the chinese defense white paper which was supposed to come out was withheld and if you look what's in that white paper bec

if someone recognized what their trigger was and they didn't use when in the past they might have used in that situation, we publicly recognize that in our group setting. with the asian pacific islander, there is stigma that has to do with substance use and mental health issues and just getting people in the door to come to group is a big step for a lot of them. and that's why i feel really proud that our staff is very sensitive to this and there's no shaming in group and we have a very positive supportive environment. because, you know, we're a community that, it's all about saving face. so if you have a problem, you know, whether it's substance abuse or maybe getting mental health treatment, you're supposed to just deal with it by yourself, you're not supposed to go outside of your family, you're not supposed to talk about your problems. being able to educate our clients on how confidentiality works and how they will be protected through it has been a very important piece of this, of what we do. i think that the glue of team 360 is the feeling of trust and support that is generated w

the shifting our priorities are clear to us, what they want us to focus on. the message is very clear. commissioner maufas: my last comment. in all of my conversations, i hear that our staff and cac members are following the latest iteration of the resolution. but that last iteration gave staff more flexibility to do what you will need to do, and we are less micromanaging and more a policy-making body that lets you move high you need to move in accordance with city partners. but if you are following it that closely and it is not giving you what you need to help us, let us know that as well. i am certain we are going to hear the in any type of conversation. but i have mixed messages. you are following the resolution very quickly -- very closely, but it does not allow you to provide us feedback. i would like to hear feedback. maybe not today, but more around that issue, if it is an issue. it's sort of keeps coming up as one of those "and by the way." it is hindering us, but it was not meant to. if that is the case, you have to let us know. that was my last comm

they are there for us to make use of them, and they enjoy doing that, like you were speaking of earlier. don't be afraid that once you got your prescription and walk away that you can't come back the next day and ask questions of the pharmacist when you've looked at things a little bit more and looked at your other medications. and when it comes to our senior population, they have a lot of prescriptions, a lot of bottles lying around; we again want to encourage them to safeguard their medications, because they may not be aware that maybe their grandchildren or friends of their grandchildren might come in and be shopping for medications, or even some of the repair people coming in their homes might be looking for medications. they may not be using them, but they know they're valuable, and they might be interested in taking those to resell later on. so it's all about safeguarding those medications and making people more aware; the pharmacist is there to help them; store your medications safely; use them properly. you know, it's some very basic principles that we need to get the messages o

[inaudible]. duct tape. many uses. you want garbage bags. line the toilet with trash bags. you want to line it, line it up use the tape, tape it around. the other bag to hold it. put a second bag in there. in a disaster you don't have to go outside you use your own bathroom close the door. you have one lined on the toilet, you take it out and tie it up. comfortable shoes. if you have one in the trunk of your car that's great. also have one at work. get an old pair of sneakers, put it in your bag and put if under the desk. if you have to walk home you have comfortable shoes. pet food. make sure you have food and water for them. kids, too. make sure you have stuff to keep them entertained. after 2 hours, you will be in trouble. be aware of that. information. these are the initially, you are going to have all the radio stations will have emergency broadcast system. they will tell you where to go. where's the shelter supplies. initially after any disaster all the radio stations will broadcast on what'

we will put the uses behind us at least for the time being, we are ok with the continuance, as well. i think it's fantastic and tremendously important to the city. it's important for a few reasons, we would love your staff to take a closer look at two issues, one is the issue of what's called a snout house. i have an illustration here. this is a snout house. a snout house is a house that sticks its garage out toward the street and all the human-oriented parts of the building gets pulled back. very takic of post world war ii construction. we don't have any in san francisco. they tend to have a garage that is flush with the interest facade. the current code does permit you to turn an existing building into a snout house. this is a victorian house and they pushed the garage out to the street and kept the principal back. this is unsafe for pedestrians, destroys the character of the neighborhood. now, because this house did it, the our two houses on either side can do it. this proposes getting rid of the snout house. staff weren't recommending it. we think that they should recommend it. p

they have regarded the 12 times a year temporary use. this may need further clarification, but hopefully, it is somewhat unclear. certainly, i am sure he might at some flourished to my report. >> commissioners, i am here with my client that owns and operates a restaurant down near the park near townshend. these restaurants are doing pretty well. they are rock-and-roll in down there. this is a slightly odd one in that the south of market got a zone to disallow or basically disallow entertainment usages. and when they did that, they put in this to a 5.3 planning code that allows temporary usage of entertainment. what we have done in the past, and what we would like to do in this situation, it allows the owner of the business to do new year's eve and some big parties. back to the issue at hand, i think the commissioner like this. this includes three neighborhood groups and some residents. pretty much every neighbor with in the buildings of every direction. we have gone to those people and talk to them about the operation and what we would l

the city is a mixed use city. the city is a mixed social in come conglomerate, and that is part of its strength. it helps to increase livability for all. what i felt was missing in staff report was what mr. speer described to us, that there was an attempt to do the right thing, and i would actually ask him to come back one more time and describe in more detail how he is intending to do that. he briefly touched on this, but there might be more. perhaps the project sponsor could describe that to us because i would like to avoid giving the development community the impression that we are easily bendable went on-site inclusion areas promised, only to come back and change it. in this particular case, i think mr. spears is offering a novelty approach. i would like you, if you would not mind, spending a couple of minutes to describe that for all of us. >> thanks, commissioner moore. i'm involved with another site that works, and it is well within a mile of the principal project. again, i understand the desire, but i feel

that's past us now. we're looking forward to will the people of egypt that will emerge as the people who govern themselves, will they believe the united states was a friend in that process or will they believe the united states was an impedment in that process. host: tom, vice president for programs recently back from a trip to tunisia where he spoke to many act viveses now taking leadership positions in tunisia. here to talk to us about what's going on there as well as the unrest in egypt. our next call from new jersey. mary, you're on the "washington journal." go ahead. caller: good morning. i hope people who see those tear gas cans ters marked "made in the u.s.a." realize how far reaching eisenhower's warning regarding the military industrial complex is. it's not -- does not only apply to us here in the united states but applies to many areas abroad. thank you. guest: without digging too deep in history, you mentioned president eisenhower. in my first trip to egypt to meet with democratic reformers, t

puts us in a new process, which is a bit of a learning curve for all of us. a long story short, there are few opportunities for funding for the utility undergrounding. we received a federal grant for the streetscape improvement project, and we were hoping that it was included in that, but it was not an eligible use of those funds. we have researched this and we have found no viable opportunities. so this is the only viable source, at this point in time. supervisor avalossupervisor miri am debating the motivation, but the fact is, you affirmed what i thought, that this is the first time we are using these funds, so of course, this potentially stipulates precedentce. so for future projects, we could perhaps see this happen again, should the ducks lined up and say we want to do you tilly undergrounding -- utility undergrounding. >> i will say one more thing. in this particular instance, it is important to note, out of the community planning process, utility undergrounding was the number-one priority for improvements. that is the reason we are pursuing it. if it
