In regards to the design, id like to point out that this has been a fouryear process, and that we worked diligently with the Planning Department to come up with this design. Us and the design team, we worked very closely together. Calle 24 and their group, we discussed some potential design changes, and all they came up with during their meeting is we should change the railings to iron railings that looked more spanish style, and thats been it. Weve worked on the courtyards, all of the units have proper exposure. Were creating courtyards that are used by the tenants, that are landscaped, we have a roof deck, we have a landscaped rear yard. This is hardly a hotel. Those units are designed with the courtyard to get front and back exposure so you can have light coming in both directions. A lot of units dont provide that. Commissioner melgar okay. Thank you very much. Okay. Commissioner melgar i just wanted to remind you that this body is, ultimately we understand that. Commissioner melgar

This senior said she complained to building management. The Company Called satellite Afford
Bring down an airline. Some people in sydney were planning to commit a terrorist act using an improvised device. The raids are ongoing, at least four men have been arrested. An australian tv station reported that those wearing gas masks before an explosive team found a suspicious device. People screaming and yelling at each other and guys with masked on.

With general kelly . Reporter it certainly doesnt seem that way, especially if today is any indication, it seems general kelly has the president s ear, and the white house says he has full authority to operate within the white house, by the way, all staffers now will report directly to him rather than the president. Interesting. Weijia jang, thank you. Bart is giving thousands of its employees a 500 bonus this year. It is called a ridership bonus. But bart ridership is way down. Kpix 5 reporter phil matier broke the story and went to ask, why do employees deserve any bonus this year . Phil . Reporter that is right, ridership has gone down, but the bart deficit is continuing to be a problem.

The state of the system is not such that anyone deserves any kind of performance bonus at this point. Reporter
