mr. warner just said. is it true that the parking is bifurcated in that 25 parking spaces are the property of ethe bridge housing units and 38 are the i.c.h. are the i.c.h. -- i.o.a.? >> it's 30 and 37. >> the bridge housing is assisted housing, i assume? >> most of it is independent living 120 of it is independent living. commissioner antonini: but it's conceivable that some residents have there are some have cars? >> that's why there are some places. commissioner antonini: that makes it clear to me what the lineup on this is. ok, thanks. i have a suggestion on this. that would be probably in line with what mr. washer was suggesting, i guess i should have asked mr. -- how often do you think we're going to have events that will have over 50 attendees in the conference room? >> well, any time because -- i'll tell you why the time is not as significant as the number of events per year, i guess. >> ken donnelly, with the institute on aging. we have events in the conference room, mostly community education eve

mr. warner provided. to give valet parking on evening and weekends when there's 37 and the parking spaces in a garage, it is a significant cost and it comes out of services that they could provide to seniors, so we ask you support the staff recommendation, and appreciate your time. thank you. commissioner miguel: thank you. is there additional public comment on the item which has been closed? if not, public comment has been close. >> commissioners, at this time, you are at consideration of findings and final action. the public hearing for this category is closed. the item before you is item 10, case number 2010. 0583c, for 3575 geary boulevard. >> good afternoon, commissioners. although there is no staff presentation, there has been one addition to the draft motion. it is related to the ceqa finding which summarizes the memo to file that you already have a copy of, and i would like to read that finding into the record. "the commission finds that the project as revised here is consistent with and within th

mr. warner: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from virginia. mr. arner: before i get to my remarks, i want to commend my colleague from oklahoma for his comments. i have had the opportunity to sit in that chair and listen to his views over the last two years and i -- and let me make sure i make clear that that characterization of some of those folks with those camries, i would not fall into that category and i want to wish the senator a very happy birthday. it is my understanding it was yesterday. i wish him all the best. our offices are next door to each other and we're good neighbors. madam president, i rise today to continue a recent new tradition of the senate, the tradition of honoring exemplary federal employees that my friend senator ted kaufman began last year. senator kaufman believes, as i do that our federal employees deserve recognition for their admirable patriotism, which drives nem in their daily work as civil servants. senator kaufman highlights 100 federal employees in his close to two years of service. 100 federal employees with si

. >> warner: mr. burt, senator kyle said the same. he particularly pointed to modernization so, there wasn't enough time to resolve the thorny issue there's. first of all, what what's he talking about? and secondly, does he have a point? >> okay. really two or three quick points. first of all, jim suggests in a way that if it went into a lame duck session that the treaty really hasn't been examined carefulfully. and it clearly has. there have been over 20 briefings of the congress, the senate on the treaty. there have been over 900 questions answered. in fact, this treaty has undergone as much examination as the treaty i helped negotiate in 1991. and it's interesting that senator kyle is focusing on nuclear modernization, rather than potential pit falls in the treaty itself. because i think most of the arguments against the treaty are essentially bogus. what senator kyle is focusing on is the question of whether or not we are spending enough on our nuclear weapons complex to keep it safe, reliable, secure and effective. and here i thi

you don't have iran or america orchestrating this whole thing. >> warner: mr. istrabadi, on that point, who's going to have more influence? is this good for the u.s.? >> the deal to ensuring that the next prime minister of iraq came from one of the shi'a religious parties was struck in tehran, in the capital of iran. it pushed extremely hard for nouri al-maliki and one of the great mysteries of these events is that the united states also pushed extremely hard to undermine iyad allawi and to make nouri al-maliki prime minister. in minute, iranian stock is soaring right now in iraq and long-term american interests have plummeted. >> warner: feisal istrabadi, megan o'sullivan, thank you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> lehrer: next tonight, the u.s./china clash over currency. the issue dominated a meeting between president hu jintao and president obama in seoul, korea today. "newshour" economics correspondent paul solman explains what's behind the dispute. it's part of his reporting on "making sense of financial news." >> reporter: at the g20 meeting in south

mr. speaker. last week warner brothers announced 100 million pounds investment in the studios in my constituency. this is very welcome as it will provide more than 600 jobs and a real boost to the local economy. would my right honorable friend confirm that the producer tax credit for the film industry which was very significant in warner brothers decision to make the investment will continue? and secondly, that the government will consider ways -- that the government will consider ways to get british investors to invest in british films made here so that the profits remain in this country? >> i think my honorable friend makes a extremely good point. we are committed to supporting the film industry and we are continuing with the tax credits that he speaks about. i think one of the keys to warner's success in his constituency is the harry potter film franchise that they've been making. it's been incredibly successful and there's a great tip and key to filmmakers which is we got to make films that people want to watchnd films that will have a benefit among themselves and they encourage people to com

. >> warner: quickly to you, mr. irvin.ight and the outcry continues and builds at some point does the government have to be responsive in some other way? >> well, i think the some other way is as i said developing this technology which is automated technology so that a person does not have to determine whether you've got an explosive on you. we've got to develop this technology urgently but in the meantime the key point here is that most people don't have to endure the physical patdown.ç that's what really is at the root of most of this. body scannersç are safe. they're effective. most people would choose them. i think after we get through this holiday season, people will see that for themselves at the airports. most people will choose the whole body imagers. i think they'll see they're safe and effective. the number of people who choose the patdowns will be very small indeed. >> warner: to be continued. thank you both. >> thank you. >> brown: still to come on the newshour, the political and financial costs of the irish

mr. bridgeland, welcome. >> nice to be here. >> warner: tell us more, first of all, about these dropout factories which account for half of all the dropouts in the country. what do they have in common? >> well, margaret, interestingly and tragically these are places where it's about a 50-50 proposition whether you graduate from high school. so imagine being a student in a school where the expectation is so low that half your classmates are not finding their way through the graduation line. >> warner: are they big, are they small, in cities, rural areas? >> disproportionately found in urban school districts but also in suburbs and towns and even in rural areas so we have to keep our eye in schools across the country and not just focus on our urban school districts. >> warner: you've also polled extensively, talked extensively with students who have been dropouts. what do they share? what do they have in common? >> interesting, after decades of research on the dropout problem we discovered that no one had ever talked to the customers, to the dropouts themselves so we did so all across the country in big cities l
