Assad then were looking at a war in the middle east that is going to cross borders and potentially threaten the larger region and beyond. The latest figures ive seen is that there are more than a thousand fighters on behalf of extremist groups in syria comment from just europe. And with open borders, no visa restrictions, somebody wrote in france or germany or britain or the netherlands were ever will be able to come home and will be able to travel. So this has been vocations far beyond what if anything we think we can and should do to try to stave off a total collapse of the maliki government. I would just add one other note. If you look at where we are in the region, the conflict in syria, which right now is still a stalemate, but i thought this control in large parts of the country. But there is many hundreds of thousands of refugees in jordan, lebanon, turkey erratic and you have the tensions that are pervasive throughout the region be really fat on fire in iraq right now.

Public comment is closed. Commissioner richards. Just a few questions, please. The taxable retail sales do they include online sales of city businesses that ship somewhere else . Online sales for city businesses that ship somewhere else . Buy someone online from the Company Based in San Francisco. Physical sales at a physical location. I believe its based on its sales tax that is collected in San Francisco. So it could be online sales too. I dont know if its delivered to somewhere that is not within San Francisco, im not sure, but i can get back to you. The reason im asking you is we have businesses that come before us. They are requesting conditional use authorizations if they are formula retail and we talk about the tipping points between food and beverage and retail.
