The IBM Pattern Lab uses an asset-based approach to create reusable and customizable components that collectively make an automation package for a given software product or solution deployment. Rapid time-to-value using automated middleware assets decreases the time and costs associated with solution deployment. In addition, the quality of the product and user satisfaction increases.
Step 1: Introducing the Windows OS Preparation Script Package capabilities
This script package will prepare the Windows operating system parts for deployment of other script packages that require specific operating system configurations and which rely on an operating system restart.
The underlying operating system part, which this script package has been tested on, is Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit.
For Version 1 of the Windows OS Preparation Script Package, you need to join a Windows operating system to an Active Directory Domain Server, wait 2 minutes for all the actions to take place, including the reboot of the operating system.
Step 2: Identifying the script package parameters
All the parameters found in the following two tables are exposed through the script package parameters in the IBM Workload Deployer Interface. Table 1 identifies these operating system preparation parameters.
Table 1. OS preparation parameters
|Parameter name
|Parameter description
|The IP address of the Active Directory Server you want the operating system to be joined in.
|The domain user that has the right to create computer accounts on the domain controller. The format should be: [domain]\[username]
| Password for the domain user given
as a value of the
domainUser parameter.
Step 3: Acquiring the script package prerequisites
The following list presents the prerequisites before running this script package:
- An Active Directory domain must be available.
- Make sure the computer name length does not exceed a maximum number of characters allowed (which is 15), or does not contain characters that are not allowed. For more information, see Naming conventions in Active Directory.
- In addition to using a computer name that adheres to Microsoft® conventions, the computer name must be unique. If the computer name already exists in the Active Directory, the script package will fail.
- After joining the domain, the computer is rebooted after 2 minutes due to a delay some servers experience when they are added to a domain. Wait while the computer is rebooted before running any other script packages.
Step 4: Deploying the script package in a virtual system pattern
This section describes the steps to create a virtual system pattern and deploy it in your PureApplication System environment. Additionally, you will find details on how to check the status of your deployment.
Preparing a virtual system pattern for deployment
The script package comes in a form of a zip archive using the following naming convention:
In some cases, when the product (that the script package installs and configures) is installed on multiple platforms, the platform is specified in the name to avoid confusion.
In PureApplication System terminology, this is called a script package. This script package has to be part of a virtual system pattern, which in the end, is deployed and managed under the form of a virtual system instance.
To create and deploy the script package, follow these steps:
- Login to your environment's IBM Workload Deployer interface.
- To add the script package you have received, click (on the upper bar)
on Catalog > Script Packages and press the green
plus icon in the menu bar. Enter the name for the script package to be
created and press OK, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure
Figure 1. Open the script packages section
Figure 2. Name the script package
- Now import the script package archive you have been provided by
clicking on the grayed out Browse from the right side
of the Script package file field. Select the archive
from your local file system and then click the Upload
button, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Import a script package archive
- Prior to using the script package, you need to accept the license. To
do this, follow the highlighted areas shown in Figures 4 through 7.
Figure 4. Bring up the license window
Figure 5. List the license contents
Figure 6. Accept the license
Figure 7. Finish the license acceptance process
- Immediately after you have imported your script package (while still in the Script Package view), you have the option to select when this script package will be executed (see Figure 8). The Execute field needs to be set to one of the two values shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Script Package Execution settings
|When to select
|at virtual system creation
|Select this when your OS Part (operating system image) on which this script package will be run has satisfied all the prerequisites described in Step 2: Identifying the script package parameters and Step 3: Acquiring the script package prerequisites in this article, as well as any external dependencies you might have in your desired topologies (for example, an external database).
|when I initiate it
|Select this when the prerequisites are not met or external dependencies require an action first.
- If you have selected when I initiate it as shown in
Figure 8 after you have built your virtual system pattern and you
click Deploy (see Figure 13),
this will create your virtual host and install the operating system.
However, hold off on executing the script package until this is
manually invoked. Figure 8 shows the script package option discussed
in this section.
Figure 8. Execute options for a script package
- Against each of the script packages, you will see the Execute now button, which you will have to click and follow the on screen instructions to execute your script package. Figure 15 outlines the script package section of a virtual system instance, where the Execute now button is found (in the referenced figure, the script package has not executed yet).
- To create a virtual system pattern, click (on the upper bar) on
Patterns > Virtual Systems. Then click on the
green plus icon in the menu bar, provide a name and a description for
the virtual system pattern, and press OK, as shown in
Figure 9 and Figure 10.
Figure 9. Select a virtual system pattern
Figure 10. Create a virtual system pattern
- To compose or orchestrate the newly created virtual system pattern,
click on the Edit button on the upper right side of
the bar, as shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. Edit mode of your virtual system pattern
- In the new screen, drag and drop the parts from the palette on the
left to the editing area. You will need to add a Windows Server 2008
R2 64-bit image and the script package created in the previous steps.
When finished, click on Done Editing as shown in
Figure 12.
Figure 12. Edit your virtual system pattern
You have created a virtual system pattern, which you can deploy as many times as you need in your environment.
- Next, deploy the new virtual system pattern. In your IBM Workload
Deployer console, go to Patterns > Virtual
Systems. Click on the previously created system pattern.
On the right side of the upper bar, click on the
Deploy button as shown in Figure 13.
Figure 13. Deploy your virtual system pattern
- After clicking the Deploy button, the following
information is requested:
- Virtual System Name: This is the name of the virtual system pattern instance.
- Environment: Your IBM Workload Deployer administrator should provide the necessary information.
- OS Part parameters: This is where you complete the values for the required operating system level parameters.
- Script Package parameters (found under the OS Part sub page): You will find details in this article.
Note that the only mandatory fields are those starred (*) and the Instance Name.
After completing the field values as they are documented in Step 2: Identifying the script package parameters, click on the OK button.
Your virtual system pattern is now deploying. The deployment will finish when either the first, or both of the following actions are completed:
- The operating system of the deployed virtual machine has been installed and the virtual machine is now started.
- The script packages within the virtual system pattern you are deploying have been successfully executed.
The execution of the script packages in the later action above is conditioned by the value set for the "Execute Now" option of each of the script packages added to the specific virtual system pattern, which is described earlier in this guide.
Step 5: Checking the status of your deployment
- To check the status of your virtual system pattern deployment, click
on Instances > Virtual System as shown in Figure
Figure 14. Check the status of the virtual system pattern deployment
- In the newly opened window you will find, on the left frame, the virtual system pattern instance you have created. Click on it. If there are too many instances, you can use the search filter (which you can find at the top of the left frame) and type in some characters that are part of the virtual system pattern instance name you had created earlier.
- At this point, in the frame on the right side of the page, there are
details about your deployment. However, at this stage, the following
two are the most important:
- Current status: This shows what the current deployment is doing. For example, starting virtual image, deploying pattern, registering virtual image, and so on.
- Virtual machines: This provides information
about the current status of the virtual machine, its hardware
and network details, as well as status of the script packages
that have been deployed, currently in deployment process, or
that can be deployed. The network details provide the virtual
machine's IP address and hostname. Figure 16 provides an
example and includes the areas of most interest in the
deployment of a script package.
For the script package run, Figure 16 describes a situation where the script packages have been executed at virtual system deployment, while Figure 15 shows an example of a Script Package set to execute only "when I initiate it". That fact is confirmed by the (none) attribute, which signifies the absence of logs for the specific script package (since it has not been executed yet).
Figure 15. Script package status with "when I initiate it" execute option
Figure 16. Information about the IP and script package status
- To connect to the deployed virtual machine, a connection can be made to the IP outlined in Figure 16, using either the Remote Desktop for Windows or the ssh client for Linux/Unix.
- In Figure 16, the log files are displayed against each script. The
remote_std_out.logoutlines what the script package has done during deployment and contains both errors and details of a normal script package run. In a successful deployment, you see the following lines at the end:
SPiN ended: successfully :-) ===========================End of SPIN LOG ========================= INFO:Java(TM) 6 Update 34 (64-bit) is installed INFO:Uninstalling: Java(TM) 6 Update 34 (64-bit) Version: 6.0.340 INFO:Successfull uninstall
Checking the
remote_std_out.log file at the end of each deployment will provide
the latest level of assurance for a successful execution.
This article described how to deploy the Windows OS Preparation automation package and to automatically add a provisioned Windows host in the IBM PureApplication System environment to an existing Microsoft Active Directory™ domain server. This eliminated the need to manually access and modify the provisioned host.

Delicious, healthy, intensely chocolate brownies with a hint of sweetness. If you like them sweeter, add 1/2 cup more of Agave nectar to the recipe. Only 98 calories & 2.6 grams of fat per serving!Submitted by: CARLASKIS
This recipe contains agave nectar. Agave is a sugar-replacement that is sweeter than sugar (so you use less), and extremely low on the glycemic index (It has minimal impact on your blood-sugar level so you have more sustainable energy and you remain full for longer).

Grind the almonds, walnuts, and cacao in a food processor until it resembles bread crumbs. Add the sea salt, ginger, coconut nectar, dates and vanilla and mix again until you achieve a smooth texture. Press the mixture into a 9 x 5 inch rectangular glass baking dish. The coconut nectar will hold the moist ingredients together, so baking isnt necessary.Cut the cake in half and separate with a spatula, as you will be stacking one half of the cake on top of the other to create a two-layer cake. Frost one of the halves, then stack the other half of the cake on top. Finally, frost the top of the double-layered cake with the remainder of the frosting.

The 52-year-old, who became the club's fourth coach of a difficult season when he replaced Spaniard Fabri last week, saw his team register 36 goal attempts without beating inspired goalkeeper Nikos Giannakopoulos.
Panathinaikos's hopes of claiming a European place next season are fading fast after they slipped from sixth to seventh in the table.
Xanthi's 1-0 win at Asteras Tripolis saw them overtake Panathinaikos who are two points adrift of a place in the end of season playoffs with two matches to play.
Olympiakos Piraeus, who wrapped up the title last month, thrashed Platanias 4-0 with goals from Djamel Abdoun, David Fuster, Kostas Mitroglou and Panagiotis Vlachodimos.
The champions have 73 points from 28 matches, 17 ahead of nearest rivals PAOK Salonika who beat Veria 2-0 on Saturday.
Atromitos Athinon have begun the search for a new coach after announcing the departure of Nikos Anastasopoulos on Sunday following a sequence of three defeats in four games.
The 55-year-old, who took over from Dusan Bajevic in December, watched his side lose 1-0 at home to Aris Salonika on Saturday.
Media reports said former Olympiakos and PAS Yiannina goalkeeper Dimitris Eleftheropoulos and former AEK Athens and Asteras coach Nikos Kostenoglou were the leading candidates for the vacant job.
Atromitos are fourth with 42 points.
Bottom club Kerkyra were relegated on Saturday following a 2-1 home defeat by Levadiakos.

The room smelled of dog pee and bleach the second you walked through the door. The room was musty. The bed was comfy and the room is large on a plus note. Make sure you ask which rooms are pet rooms. The food is very basic, three choices fo cereal, apples oranges, and you can make yourself a waffle. The orange juice and coffee is in the other room. The staff is friendly and helpfull. The floors are dated along with a dated tv.Make sure you use the remote and not your kids. The front page will pop up with material for only adults, change right away to tv.

AbstractThis proposal describes the continued development of passive wireless surface acoustic wave (SAW) based liquid level sensors for NASA application to cryogenic liquid level sensing. Orthogonal Frequency Coded (OFC) SAW devices have been demonstrated as passive wireless temperature sensors in NASA Contract NNK04OA28C, and are being further developed under NNK05OB31C. The liquid level sensors use damping of the acoustic wave caused by mass loading of the liquid to produce fast, reversible liquid level sensors. The Phase I research successfully demonstrated operation of these devices as liquid level sensors in selected liquids of interest at cryogenic temperatures. Stability of selected commercially available SAW devices was confirmed, both when exposed to various (extreme and gradual) temperature changes, and upon repeated exposure to liquid nitrogen. The reversibility of the device response was confirmed. Phase I demonstrated the technical feasibility of using these sensors for cryogenic liquid level monitoring of low to moderate pressure liquids (under 500 psi). Phase II will result in prototype product development.

5:00 am
farm is worldwide known. it's something that's very good and it's a crime prevention tool. why don't we use the hayes valley farm, allowing the youth and the community to use the hayes valley farm and as a crime prevention tool and keep it there until you're ready to develop it. there's no reason that's why the people developing parcel p are allowed to use parcel o when other redevelopment things are not being used. parcel o should be kept for the hayes valley farm until you're ready to make a plan for it. thank you. >> i'll go to the next three. if you heard your name, you can come up to the mic. jessie raider followed by jay rosenberg and jim warshel. hi, thank you. i lived at 427 fell, basically there's only two buildings on the whole square block that makeup hayes valley farm.
5:01 am
and i lived in one of them for the last five years. and, so, looked out my window and saw firsthand the benefits the farm has brought to the neighborhood t. has turned from a place that was homeless encampment and drug use which i could literally see out the back of my bedroom window into a vibrant community space that now provides a community education center where people can come and learn how to garden and learn about sustain able food system. i'm a bird watcher. we had four types of birds now we have over 30 including hawk and all kinds of migrating birds. there are all sorts of benefits the farm bring. in addition to the benefits it brings to the neighborhood it has a national -- it gets national, international attention. we've been in the new york times twice. it has cement san francisco's reputation as the greenest city on earth. we are one of the top 10 city parks in sunset magazine. we have been [speaker not understood] we're in the huffington post as top it was like the 7 coolest architecture projects or recycled
5:02 am
architecture projects. the new york city high line is famous with number 3, hayes valley farm was number 2. gazillion airplane magazine, what to do in san francisco. german interview with the national geographic. san francisco lonely planet feature is one of the top things to do. so, it gives a lot of attention. if i can just -- can i take another minute? it came together out of the whole series of public input and a lot of support from the mayor's office of economic work force development and the merchants association and the neighborhood association and the local residents and we'd like to see that kind of community input and partnership when we consider what happens with parcel o in the future. i'm part of the leadership of hayes valley farm and i do want to make it very clear we are champions of interim youth. we are excited about moving off [speaker not understood] and we are fully intending to do that for parcel p and parcel o we would like more interim use possibilities. thank you. >> thank you.
5:03 am
hi, my name is jay. my dog callie is here with me. i wanted to take a moment to consider all of our friends, families and loved ones back east where hurricane sandy has created a great stir for a lot of people. working in partnership with the hayes valley neighborhood association, the san francisco parks alliance, and the mayor's office of economic and work force development, hayes valley farm has been packing up planning and expecting to get a notice at the end of this year of this successfully interim use project. after a long wait, parcel member of the hayes valley neighborhood association finally seeing progress in the development of parcel p. but this is actually what would happen to the other part of the
5:04 am
farm, parcel o, the half that isn't about to be built on. much like efforts to support rent control and bans on formula retail, we of hayes valley often stand alone when we strongly advocate for affordable housing in our neighborhood. parcel o is ultimately slated for affordable housing and i'm thrilled it is going to be family affordable housing. but until then, as i'm learning now, many people would like to see that to be an agriculture project until that time when that project breaks ground. not for a while, the story has been that the farm needs to vacate both parcels immediately or do it in 90 days. once parcel p development begins. it recently came to light that this is in large part because there is some sort of deal between the development and the opportunity to stage their construction equipment on parcel o. this is silly. no other development project gets a spare acre to park equipment. but actually, as i look around the room and i hear some of the
5:05 am
feedback we've gotten all weekend, i believe the issue probably is covered and i want to take just one second to address the larger implication of some of our decisions to the [speaker not understood] in this room. we are a rapidly growing organization. we have come together as a network of urban farmers, dedicated to helping all of our commutes to create and maintain urban agriculture as a part of san francisco. from the thousands of back yards, front yards, sidewalks, window sills and balconies all over town to the many urban farms that i see represented here today, including 18th and rhode island, alemeny farm, me rammed city, the free farm stand, to growing home community garden as well as garden for the environment, raise the roof, the little city garden, [speaker not understood], please touch
5:06 am
community garden, eco sf school farm at the school of the arts, the veggie table at third and pa lou, the treasure island [speaker not understood], the farm that recently got together at the has valley playground and hayes valley farm. we recognize that successful communities are a part of a sustainable environment. we recognize our responsibility to all the relationships that make -- and we will make decisions with all of these thoughts in mind as our integral communities include our volunteers, our supporters, our partners, and the folks who live right around us. >> i'm sorry, but the other one gets two minutes. so, we may call you back up afterwards to have you finish your statement. but we have to sort of -- i want to thank the general opportunity for community input, for community participation and for neighborhood feedback. >> we're with you completely. we'll call you back up if you need to finish the statement.
5:07 am
hi, my name is jim warshel and i've been involved with all of these temporary use projects through my engagement with hayes valley neighborhood association. i have to tell you, all of them, proxy, the homeless connect gardens and the farm have been tremendously successful. and just this past weekend i was the speaker, i was invited to speak at a state conference at cca talking about sustainable development. and people were blown away when they heard about what was being done here in all three of these types of temporary uses. i've also had the opportunity to participate in the negotiations with the city and rec and park on finding the new home for the farm. and it has been so gratifying to see the integrity and
5:08 am
professionalism that the farm community has shown in going into these and acknowledging that this has always been temporary. they would honor all their commitments and look to move forward. this has been a remarkable, remarkable community. it really brings me at this point to go back to part of supervisor olague's opening comments, which i think are right on target, that activation of the space for along as it's feasible is the goal. and, you know, as was just stated, nobody gets an extra acre to park trucks on when they're doing construction. we have construction all over our neighborhood because of these other sites. they take out either other lots that are parking lots. they take out street parking. they go permits.
5:09 am
this is unprecedented. when you look at this site, when you reestablish the alley way between them, fence it off and have always a viable farm entity until it's ready for the other -- >> thank you. that's the way to go. thank you. >> thank you. brent jones, followed by peter cohan. and david schner. supervisors, my name is brent jones. i'm a graphic artist who has lived two blocks away for 28 years. i also work for the giants for the past eight, so i'm a little out of it right now. but i understand that the plot has been sold and i appreciate the efforts of jay and these other people. but when i moved into hayes valley, you couldn't pay to live that neighborhood. you couldn't get cable companies to put cable in because it wasn't densely enough populated.
5:10 am
since i've been there, i didn't do a powerpoint, this is all-new residential. there's a lot of new residential coming in. and i know that there was a hearing on this in june. it kind of went into my radar when i read bought new developments going in blocks away from me. about a month ago they cut all these trees down to build the condos, future units at grove and goff. if you've ever gone by the farm area, it in itself is an urban oasis and i understand economic development, you know, i feel affordable housing is an oxymoron in this town. anything is driven p by that. i think in the short term gain as compared to long-term benefits, you know, it would be nice if that could be a public park. if you go all the way to the bay and come down this way to the corridor, there are numerous big parks. this lot is half that size, but these trees are irreplacable. and i know for instance, i know randal pine, 30 years, he demolished two old buildings to build the jazz fest and cut
5:11 am
down trees to plant smaller ones. so, you lose 80 foot trees for eight-foot trees that will take 50 years for them to grow again. i won't see it in my lifetime. patricia's green is a dog run and kiddie park. the palm trees are dying. there were big trees they cut down there for that. so, i'm just asking as a resident for quality of life issue if there was anyway eminent domain, whatever you have to do, i know you put 5.8 million of renovation diamond heights, glenn canyon park. there's 10 million for lafayette park. i mean, you know, i understand economic development, but quality of life, you know. it's getting pretty dense over here. take five blocks, you can see all the new development and, you know, i love my neighborhood. it's getting a little out of hand. >> thank you. sit under a tree, read a book. it would be nice. i've got photos here, patricia's green. >> thank you. but it's not a park. anyway, thank you.
5:12 am
>> thank you. good afternoon, supervisors. peter cohan from council community organizations. came to talk about the revised true up. i'm glad to hear there is less of a controversy than there was back in april. i think as it was said, the redevelopment agency using affordable housing money overpaid for parcels purposely so there would be capital build to boulevard. on a personal note i lived in hayes valley and was active in the process of bringing the free ways down and enjoyed the octavia boulevard itself. but where that capital came from wasn't affordable housing money so the true up was a very significant part of returning that favor, if you will. and i'm glad to hear that is no longer contested. that said the number is smaller. we've gone from a 13.$25 million true up to a 9.8.
5:13 am
that is a little under $4 million less money going back for those -- early parcel sales which in turn means less revenue to return the affordable housing funding. * but if that's what it takes, then okay. we do have some concern, though, that that number be solid, and my understanding is that these specifications you saw in your presentation will be immemorialized in an m-o-u so there will be greater stability. i do have, if anybody would care on the board, a 2009 memo from office of economic development at the time that the board of supervisors at that point laid up the true up deal. hopefully the m-o-u will be very firm. we also really think it would be a good idea to have an annual hearing or some sort of frequency to talk about the progress of octavia, the land sales, and the allocations of these funds. and also the mayor's office of
5:14 am
housing, oewd and dpw work together, again, shared responsibility for the accounting on these funds going forward. thanks so much. thank you, supervisors. my name is david schner, director for [speaker not understood]. we were developers of parcel g which was mentioned. we appreciate your acknowledgment of the national and international recognition the building has gotten. you can see the building from city hall. i'd like to second peter cohan's comments about concerns about the drop in the amount of money to be repaid to affordable housing purposes. there is a continued need for affordable housing throughout the city including in the central freeway parcels, parcels o and u will likely both require city resources from general city affordable housing sources. so, to see the amount of money
5:15 am
being repaid dropping from 17 to 13.2 and now to $9.8 million is certainly a concern. i'm glad to note that the agreement is that if there should be more than $9.8 million left over the additional funds will go back to the mayor's office of housing. should the other projects, the additional improvements, van ness improvements cost more than is currently budgeted, does that mean the money comes from a firedable housing fund? is affordable housing the last priority for the use of funds that were in fact the low mod housing dollars in the first place? i'd ask the board to keep very careful watch on that. * the city is pushing, we're all working together towards the passage of proposition c because there has been a loss of affordable housing dollars throughout the city. i think this would be a very difficult time to say that we should be taking funds away from affordable housing uses. so, i'd ask the board to carefully monitor the ongoing
5:16 am
progress of those projects and make sure that funds are available to replenish the low mod dollars in the city. thank you. >> thank you. robin levitt followed by sharon colt, william pickle or pickel. good afternoon, supervisors. robin levitt from hayes valley neighborhood association. i'm a long-time resident of hayes valley. i was also the co-chair with the late patricia walk up of the three campaigns to replace central freeway with octavia boulevard. i spent many of my years working on this project and still involved in it. and i just want to point out, and we all heard this, proposition i that passed the voters passed in 1999, i'm just going to paraphrase it because i don't have much time.
5:17 am
after construction of octavia boulevard, it says the city shall utilize any remaining proceeds from the sale and/or disposition of the excess central freeway parcels for a transportation improvements to corridors on or ancillary to octavia boulevard. there have been some projects funded from the fund, funds realized from the sale of these parcels. they're all south of market. but if we look north of market consistently we have very problematic intersections that are still yet to be resoderv. we have oak and octavia and market and ok thaiv why which are consistently the most dangerous intersections in the city. in addition to that, every morning in my neighborhood we have traffic backing up on page, haight street, laguna street, and other streets in the neighborhood with road rage drivers. i was assaulted two years ago at the corner of laguna and page and sent to the hospital with a concussion.
5:18 am
by a road rage driver there. the point is there are many transportation issues that have still not been addressed in this area * . and yet we're talking about funneling money from the sale of these parcels back for affordable housing. now, i'm a big supporter of affordable housing, but this notion of true up is something new to me. i was on the central freeway cac when [speaker not understood] was handling these sales and there was never any mention about a true up. and if you look at the sale of those parcels, the cost of those parcels that the redevelopment agency paid versus the market rate parcels, you'll see they paid much, much less than the market rate parcels. so, i just want to point this out. until we have completed the octavia boulevard project and dealt with these transportation issues, we shouldn't be talking about using money for affordable housing.
5:19 am
it wasn't intended to be used for that purpose. thank you very much. good afternoon and thank you for your time. i've been a volunteer with hayes valley farm since its inception in january 2010, and i'm there pretty much every week. [speaker not understood] through some changes. almost universally the people in the neighborhood have come and thanked us for making it a safe [inaudible]. grandparents or children. but we also have visitors from other countries. we've had, what would you say, field trips from ecuador,
5:20 am
indonesia, farmers from scandinavia, germany, asia, pakistan, india, and if they have time they take classes with us. and we have become one of the prototypes in the world of normal farming. these teenagers, children and adults, they take this back to their own homes. so, they feel a sense of personal empowerment. it is good for the neighborhood, but it's a small world. every part of the world is part of our neighborhood also. not just young school kids, preschoolers. they come in and they have a [speaker not understood] and they take off with it. and the parents think they can't do it. oh, you're too little, you're
5:21 am
too sweet. but they're strong and they're learning. it's an asset not only to the neighborhood, but the rest of the city. the kids from bayview, the mission, pacific heights, the local french school, the wealthy kid. let's keep it. i've been in construction and i know how much [speaker not understood]. the parking lot would do. >> thank you. [speaker not understood] the farm for us. good afternoon, supervisors. my name is william pickle. i'm the executive director of west bay housing and octavia court, inc., west bay was the co-sponsor and is the co-owner of deputy of the court, hud section 81 1 property which provides supportive affordable and accessible housing for 14
5:22 am
households, person with developmental disability and also an on-site arts-based day program and open gallery which had its first open community event just last week. the project would not have been possible without tremendous collaboration amongst multiple city agencies, tremendous support from sfra, now mo. also tremendous support and advocacy from hayes valley neighborhood association. i'd like to second peter cohan's comments around imperative to really keep the conversation open around the funding available for affordable housing. it is a terrible time statewide. octavia court had three major sources of funding, hud 11, sfra tax increment set aside, and state bond financing through the multi-family housing program. all of those sources are unavailable now. so, the nuances of the true up and the legalities around it
5:23 am
are beyond my knowledge, but i would say that octavia court doesn't happen without great conversations around sometimes competing community development objectessv that are managed by different agentv size. i'd like to see that kind of dialogue continue. * agencies i will say one note about the farm. they've been a great neighbor to octavia court and its residents. and i assume that when it's developed when parcel o is developed for affordable family housing that's also going to enrich the neighborhood for octavia court residents. again, i would like to see dialogue continue for a win/win outcome there. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you. [speaker not understood], jo anna bonheim. are there any additional public comment?
5:24 am
* good afternoon, robert joyce. i am a resident of d5, homeowner, i live five blocks away from parcel o and i'm here speaking on behalf of myself. thank you, supervisors. thank you to the presenters. couple quick things. a lot has been said already. i would like to submit to the record something i posted in the spur website. their report that then i quote, we understand that the hayes valley farm currently located on parcel o is soon to be moved and we urge the project sponsors to work with the city to prolong the farm's tenancy until such time as parcel o can be developed. i am very pleased to hear from mr. rich today, if i reder correctly, that hayes valley farm was going to continue to be there until june 1st. that's great news. my question is what happens after that. and i would like to see an open community process where we can do what's best for all the communities involved. it's been said before that the
5:25 am
idea of having an urban agriculture going on is unsafe. i think that's an opinion. i think intelligent people can disagree about that. and that compromises can be found. it's a very large site. i think we can find safe places to have urban agriculture existing on part of the parcel while construction is going on while hickory street is being extended. certainly the people whose home border right on it on the eastern side would hope that it would be safe for their homes to remain there. i would also like on the question of what is going to go on during construction also submit something from the planning department the exemption from the environmental review that was submitted in june. and i quote, "the project would not involve removal of projects from adjacent o to the [speaker not understood]. protect trees on parcel o during construction for the direction of the certified arborist." i think that gives a road nab to what parts of parcel o may be appropriate for urban
5:26 am
agriculture to [speaker not understood]. thank you for your time. >> thank you. my name is [speaker not understood] bonheim. i'm a volunteer at hayes valley farm. i don't live in hayes valley. i live in the tenderloin where there's no accessible green space for residents to enjoy. i don't think it can be underestimated the importance of the feel of community, but [speaker not understood] by the productive green space. hayes valley farm gives back to the neighborhood on so many levels through the beautification, citizen involvement, education, and through the donation of food and more. so, i'm asking that this parcel continue to be used as a farm for as long as possible and certainly not the eyesore of a parking lot. thanks.
5:27 am
hi, [speaker not understood]. i live pretty close to hayes valley farm and i just wanted to say that i appreciate that the city ask county is making the effort to find another location. * and however, i don't believe that it's -- i mean, it's definitely enhanced the neighborhood dramatically. i think that all of the neighbors appreciate it being there. and you've heard so many speakers already, and i know that there are probably hundreds of other people throughout the city who would speak in favor of keeping it there as long as possible. i don't think that having construction equipment parked there and taking the farm out is the answer in the short term. i just reiterate, i don't think it's a safety issue. i really think that other places for parking construction equipment can be found. so, i really would urge the
5:28 am
board to take an active role in keeping it there for as long as possible and making all the efforts that you can to find another location eventually when affordable housing is built there. thank you. good afternoon, supervisors. my name is [speaker not understood] from the council of community housing organizations. first of all i want to thank all of you as co-sponsors of proposition c and the supporters of affordable housing. [speaker not understood] ken rich to talk about octavia boulevard, that a full build out will have 50% of the units as affordable housing, senior housing, formerly homeless housing, special needs housing, family housing, transitional age youth housing. want to reiterate the narrative of how octavia boulevard came to be. that at a time of low filled or
5:29 am
when the city was not quite prepared to sell properties at a low market, the pre-purchases of sites for affordable housing made octavia boulevard possible. $17 million of the $23 million to develop, construct, and maintain the boulevard came from the affordable housing redevelopment agency low mod funds. of those and in that original agreement, the agency and now mayor's office of housing were to be reimbursed from those sales in the event that excess funds were available after the completion of octavia boulevard. in 2009, the mayor's office of economic development by rich projected $13.25 million that were going to go back to the mayor's office of affordable housing which made possible the construction of octavia boulevard to be able to build affordable housing sites. i'd like to enter this memo

MIAMI'S SHAQUILLE O'NEAL (32) fouls Houston's Yao Ming (11) during the second quarter of their pre-season game Sunday in Houston.
AP Photo HOUSTON -- Time for a new nickname for Shaquille O'Neal, perhaps something along the lines of "The Big Lightweight."
A slimmer, swifter O'Neal made his debut in a Miami Heat uniform Sunday night, looking surprisingly nimble and quick for such an early point in the preseason as he got the better of opposing centers Yao Ming and Dikembe Mutombo in an 85-75 loss to the Houston Rockets.
"It felt kind of different, but it's something I'll quickly get adjusted to," O'Neal said. "Change is always good, and it's something I'm used to. If I was born in L.A., raised in L.A. and never left L.A., I would probably be a little sick, but it's just another day at the office for Mr. O'Neal."
That office was far from full, with large swaths of empty seats dotting both end zones of the Toyota Center. Maybe Shaq isn't the draw he was with the Los Angeles Lakers, but the ticket-buying public might start flocking fairly soon once word gets out that O'Neal isn't the man he was a year ago.
He's leaner despite being hungrier.
"He looks real skinny," said Yao Ming, who was outplayed once again by the center who knocked him out of the playoffs last spring. "He's much better. He runs better and he jumps better. He's tougher this year because he's in such great shape right now."
The Heat are listing O'Neal at 325 pounds, about 15 pounds lighter than what he registered on the scales when training camp began. But from the looks of how he ran the court Sunday night, from determinedly rotating on defense to maneuvering in the paint on offense, 325 might actually be accurate.
O'Neal had 17 points and seven rebounds, dominating Yao and Dikembe Mutombo in such a manner to validate the hopes of Miami fans whose excitement level has gone off the charts thanks to the team's huge offseason addition.
"It went cool," O'Neal said. "I was in cruise mode, trying to get used to the system and players. I'm going to slowly pick it up here."
Wearing a new number, 32 instead of 34, and clad in black and red rather than purple and gold, O'Neal gave a hearty handshake to Yao and waved to Yao's parents before the opening tipoff. He then recovered from a shaky start -- getting scored on by Yao and losing the ball the first time he touched it on offense -- to make three consecutive shots.
One of O'Neal's best moves came in the second quarter when he deftly ducked under Yao's outstretched arm to gently bounce a shot off the backboard. The ball rolled around the rim and off, but O'Neal's timing was perfect as he was right there to tap it back in.
"People ask me 'Can he do this' and 'Can he do that?' There's not one thing in this game that he cannot do," Heat coach Stan Van Gundy said. "He's able to move his feet, he's as mobile as any center in the league, more mobile than most. He did a good job tonight, and I'm sure a lot of people were surprised to see him moving like that."
Tracy McGrady of Houston was not among the surprised, having spent the summer working out with O'Neal after the Lakers traded O'Neal for three players and a first-round draft pick.
"Shaq is about 30 or 40 pounds lighter," McGrady said. "He's even more dominating. His defense is even going to be better this year."
With Mutombo replacing Yao as the starting center for the second half, O'Neal went right at one of the best shot blockers in league history.
On one particularly nifty possession, he got the ball deep in the low post and suddenly flicked a half-hook over Mutombo before the 7-foot-2 center had a chance to realize the shot was coming. It dropped in to give the Heat a 53-51 lead, and O'Neal left the game for good moments later after picking up his fifth foul.
"Foul me out!" he yelled at official Scott Wall, whose whistle stayed silent on the next Houston possession despite O'Neal taking an oversized swipe at Tyronn Lue's drive.
O'Neal, who watched the entire fourth quarter from the bench, finished 8-for-14 from the field and 1-for-3 from the line, badly missing a pair of foul shots in the third quarter as the ball came off his hand with a sidespin.
Yao had 10 points and five rebounds for Houston, and McGrady scored 10 points in 18 minutes in his Rockets debut.
After the game, the Rockets left for a 15-hour flight to China, where they will play the Sacramento Kings in a pair of exhibition games.

In today's global market, success in the international trade arena is central to the economic health of the nation and law schools have a central role to play in ensuring that success.The University of Florida Levin College of Law's International Trade Law Program builds on the law school's strong slate of international activities and aims to be the national model for academic interaction with the business community, federal and state agencies, and The Florida Bar in the provision of legal services that can be translated into successful international business strategies.
The Program, led by long-time federal trade negotiator and chief counsel Steve Powell, was formed in January 2000 as part of the state's premier legal research institute, the Center for Governmental Responsibility. The program pursues its goal by sponsoring seminars for business executives and their attorneys, developing academic courses on international trade topics, conducting research on trade issues important to Florida businesses, and providing technical assistance to developing countries to implement their World Trade Organization obligations.

About the Director
For 17 years, Stephen J. Powell – Director of the Levin College of Law International Trade Law Program – was Chief Counsel for Import Administration in the U.S. Department of Commerce, the agency responsible for the two most important laws providing relief against unfairly traded imports (the anti-dumping and countervailing duty laws).
He also has served as Assistant General Counsel for Enforcement & Litigation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and with the same agency as its Western Regional Counsel in Seattle. He began his legal career as a Captain with the United States Air Force Judge Advocate General Corps.
Powell has more than 25 years of experience in drafting and implementing U.S. trade and environmental laws and in litigating those laws and their international counterparts before federal courts and North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and World Trade Organization dispute settlement panels. He negotiated a number of treaties and executive agreements to discipline government subsidization and unfair private pricing practices – including the NAFTA alliance with Canada and Mexico.
Powell also served as the lead U.S. negotiator in Free Trade Area of the Americas talks on subsidies and dumping, and has traveled extensively in furtherance of U.S. interests in the elimination of unfair trading practices and the opening of foreign markets. He is an expert on the trade laws of the principal U.S. market overseas and is an active member of the American Bar Association's International Law Section.
