there were demonstrations outside the times that call for new times the al-jazeera times. and then in 2010 we had the wikileaks and we have wikileaks, particularly it's cable gate, the top of the state department diplomatic cables. again, there were accusations of treason, denouncements, proclamations of possible prosecutions from officials, probably blowing smoke for public consumption. let me say right i don't advocate going times in the least. i don't think it is treasonous although i don't think it's sense of post-national patriotism is the same as traditional notions of patriotism. and i think we'll get into that although later i started don't think it should be bombed as ann coulter once under. i read the time since i was a kid. i was very proud very early migrate to be published probably in a. i consider the times an important national resource. albeit in a digital. and i confess to being one of those new yorkers who refer to it simply as paper. free internet, i wandered down to the local newsstand to get the next day's edition if i was out of town and couldn't find

from time to time i keep in touch with them, so that they know what is happening in the community. now, the first measure that you supervisors should take that ties into the pensions and all that the supervisors sitting next to you, really involved in, is this. after management should be evaluated, yearly. those results must be put in the internet. anyone making over $100,000, we need to know their performance evaluation. and the comptroller's office should set up some preliminary standards. we have too many people making $150,000, $175,000, $200,000, while impacting our budget. the final analysis it is quality of life issues -- [tone] thank you for the two minutes. supervisor avalos: thank you. next speaker, please? seeing no one, we will close public comment. this item will be continued to the call of the chair, taken without objection. madam clerk, please call the next item >> item #9. -- please call the next item. >> item #9. hearing to receive an overview from the controller's office on the municipal transportation authority's transit effectiveness project and an update on sta

i have a short amount of time. "career employees were ordered to provide secretary janet napolitano's political staff with information about people who asked for records, such as where they live, whether they were private citizens or reporters, and the organizations were they worked." true or false? >> this is a process since 2006 to provide awareness into significant issues that may be going into the public domain. >> "two exceptions require white house review -- spending under the $862 billion stimulus law and the calendars for cabinet members." is that correct? >> anything that has white house equities requires white house review. >> white house equity, what does that mean? >> to the extent the secretary was in the white house, disclosing some sort of the element, this is a typical process of referring foia requests to different departments. that is a standard process. >> "under the e hundred $62 billion stimulus," was that part of it -- under the $862 billion stimulus," was that part of it? is that correct? >>

all right it's time for tonight's tool time award and this evening it goes to oklahoma republican senator jim inhofe and the g.o.p. senator is a firm believer that global warming is just a hoax he's perpetrated or that he thinks it's perpetrated by evil scientists who are trying to destroy american business i also happens to be a major supporter of oil and natural gas drilling here in the u.s. so during an appearance on fox news host brian kilmeade radio show this week he spoke about hydraulic fracturing that's a method of extracting natural gas which is known as fracking and take a listen to his comments. one. that grew water could get would asian. perjury short of it we get. you could not get what you preach. interesting comments senator inhofe there's never been one documented case of contaminated ground water from fracking i beg to differ just this week there was an accident at a natural gas well in pennsylvania thousands of gallons of water filled with chemicals ran into a nearby street and seven families in the area had to be evacuated the company doing the drilling has now stopped

how do you spend your time? sit around reading scripts all the time?> i know it looks glamorous because i work with glamorous people but most of the time i'm in an editing room, just me and another guy and i miss cigarettes for especially those occasions. i haven't smoked in five years, i used to love smoke-filled editing rooms. it's a lot of lonely time watching celluloid go round and round and trying to figure out how to make the movies better than you shot it. or watching old movies. i love turner classic movies because it's an education to watch and film and say, that's how he did it, that's how he lit that scene. things i'm always cans tonightly learning all the time. tavis: the next question that i have to ask, you must know. do you want to answer it? >> no, i don't know. tavis: why stop smoking? how did you kick it? >> i read a book by dr. allen karr, it was about how he quit smoking. it was unlike anything i had ever read. his premise was you're a jerk for smoking, and you have no control whatsoever and anybody who smoked was not cool, they wer

a lot of times. i mean, a lot of times, you just write off the news because what's happening is the only game in town. i mean, there will come a day in the next couple of weeks, months whatever when there will be some sort of decision about gays in the military, and for at least a couple dave, all anybody will be talking about is that decision. actually, you know, for the last several months, you could have written about that at any time because it's so much in the air. during something like the anita hill testimony before the judiciary commitee, you couldn't not write about that story. it was all anybody was thinking about. so, frequently, you get it from the news, but some of it is learning how to read the news and how to bring together despair rat parts. i mean, recently i wrote about the lakewood high school spur posse, the guys who were keeping track of how many girls in their school they had gone to bed with as a measure of sort of their gang worth, and it seemed obvious to me to put that toget

during peak time, or non-peak time, and have that data provided to us. it was not quite as broken down as i would have liked it yesterday. that is all. thank you. supervisor chiu: colleagues, today, and i am introducing a drafting requests related to our payroll tax and stock options. as we all know, there was a recent control report that identified our city's practice of taxing stock options as a factor for why certain businesses consider locating outside of san francisco. as someone who helped to found a technology company in my previous life, and i think we have all heard from previous tech leaders about how our treatment of stock options could lead companies to leave san francisco. penalizing the possibility of success, as we know, is not smart economic policy. on the other hand, stock options are given by many companies, mature companies as well as startups, as typical compensation. at a time of challenge revenues, we need to be careful in how we reduce taxes, simply because a company simply chooses to compensate employees with options. i have conve

the white house said that president obama will not focus on full-time campaigning for a long time.eah, he wants to wait a year or two before he gets serious about it. just like he did with being president.

time now 5:14. republican leader from orange county is apologizing now for sending out a controversial e- mail. one that shows president obama's face on the body of a baby chimpanzee. the text reads and i'm quoting now "now you know why there's no birth certificate." last night tea party activist marilyn davenport issued a formal apology saying the e- mail was nothing more than a joke. the california naacp is still demanding her resignation. >>> arizona's governor has taken action on a bill that tied to the rumors that president obama was not born in the united states. arizona governor jan brewer vetoed arizona's so-called birther bill. it would have required presidential candidates to provide documented proof of their citizenship. opponents have warned the birther bill would be a black eye for arizona. a dozen other states are considering similar legislation. >>> today president obama will begin a tour to promote his plan to take on the country's debt. ktvu's allison burns joins us now from our was

during that time, we will be working to move travel time

we can revisit it at a later time on a later date. thank you for your time. supervisor chu: thank you. next speaker please. >> good afternoon, members of the board. i am with seiu 1021 as a field representative. one of the reasons i'm here is to support the fee on non- residents. our union has worked hard to scratch revenue from different areas. millions of dollars have been given by our members to help the city on hard times. the city is facing another hard time this year, and it just makes sense to continue with a fee for non-residents. therefore, we are asking you to consider and support the extension of the fee. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. catherine howard, golden gate park preservation alliance. i love the arboretum. i was a member, and as a landscape architecture student, i in turn there, but i oppose the fee. it is part of a short-sighted policy of monetizing our parks. because of this, the people of san francisco are losing golden gate park. first, the teagarden was closed. then the conservatory of flowers. if

well there are a lot of things going on if you look at the super long time period like since the time of the dinosaurs we've actually been on a cooling trajectory and no one's quite sure why that is that greenhouse gases used to be a lot more abundant than they are now in the last two to three million years it's gotten cool enough now that the polar regions are permanently covered with ice which they didn't used to be and in this new kind of a beginning of an ice house state you could say small changes in the way the earth moves around the sun and relative to the sun actually make natural cycles where you bring slight warming or slight cooling to the key polar areas where the ice sheets began and where they start to melt. and so basically you know all you have to do to make an ice age come and go is that you cool down the summers a little bit in the arctic areas of northern canada let's say and more snow falls in the winter than can melt in the summer so it builds up over time and if you give it enough time you build up a giant ice sheet that flows under its own weight and buries plac

time now 5:10. let's check in with sal. >> all right. >> he already knows everything about the commute. >>> almost everything. almost everything. [ laughter ] good morning everybody. traffic doing well. just to give me a little bit of an out just in case i don't know something right now. let's go out and see on 80 westbound what we're seeing westbound 80 traffic looks good heading to the macarthur maze. traffic also good at the bay bridge toll plaza westbound. we keep monitoring the conditions all over the bay area. we don't have a lot going on when it comes to stalled vehicles or collisions out there. traffic is okay on the south bay commute northbound 280 traffic is moving well. and the traffic is looking good. there is a closure on the onramp leading to dublin boulevard. that exit is also shut down because of police activity. and going to continue to hear more about that throughout the morning. at 5:10 let's go to steve. >>> sal, thank you, sir. we have a change today. it will be cooler and breez

we're going to have failings from time to time.it doesn't make you a failure unless you choose not to learn the lesson of whatever that failing was. if you learn the lesson, you can fail your way through it. >> but failure can be the error that the third baseman makes, he failed to pick up the ball and a man reached first, as opposed to being a poor kid and the only black one in the neighborhood. that's not a failure. >> but babe ruth once said, every strike gets me closer to the next hr. next home run. that's how i see life. every strike you make gets you closer to the next home run. >> how important to you, then, is god? tavis: supreme. >> you totally believe there's someone watching. tavis: absolutely. i have a whole chapter, the last chapter is called "father knows best." somebody once said that we plan and god laughs. i've had so many plans for my own life that didn't go the way i thought they would go. i've learned over the course of the years that sometimes a dead end is a finish line and sometimes rejection is redirection.

time now 5:25. victims of the san bruno explosion are talking now about losing their homes and family members in that tragedy in september. >> there was over 600 to 800 degrees outside. so all the hair and flesh on my body is burnt off. so i want something to be done. >> that was chris torres. he lost his mother in that explosion. his two sisters and brother-in- law are still in a burn center. last night these residents spoke at a hearing about what led up to the disaster and what should be done next. >> i'm here because i want to make sure the p.u.c. is reminded from our perspective of the severity of the consequences of pg&e's negligence and the p.u.c.'s attitude toward oversight. >> the public utility commission is working on some new natural gas pipeline rules to prevent any explosions in the future. they're looking at improving inspections and testings as well as looking at remote shutoff valves. hopefully the new rules may be in place by the end of the year. >>> time now is 5:26. and there's n

sunny today but windy at times. a brisk chilly morning with a northerly breeze. 67 is always a tough pattern. usually in this pattern that north wind does warm up. others stay in the cooler side. especially toward the south bay. we will go 70 brentwood. 62 alameda. 70s low march began hill. and 50s and 60s close to the coast and upper 60s for the peninsula. sunshine and warmer weather take us into the weekend and into early next week. >>> time is 5:07. during president obama's recent bay area visit some protestors broke into a song during the president's appearance at a fundraiser. you remember that. why a local newspaper is in hot water with the white house because of that video. >>> and one of nine americans killed in afghanistan was from the bay area. what he was doing there. >>> good morning, westbound upper deck bay bridge traffic looks good into san francisco. another traffic and weather update straight ahead. >>> there it is. welcome back to the ktvu channel 2 morning news. you see william and kate making the

there were 54 last time. the democrats said they will not help you. >> we will pass with republican votes. no doubt about it. who said we cannot vote for another cr? they have painted themselves into a corner. we have people today fighting for our liberty and our freedom. we do not want to pay them. we have one week where we are going to cut $12 billion. it is a fundamental bill that will pass with republican votes. if democrats do not want to join us, that is their choice. if the senate continues to not act, that is their choice. but we believe that america should move forward. >> if i could just add, republicans have no interest in shutting down the government. shutting down the government is irresponsible and i think it will end up costing american taxpayers more money than we are already spending. i believe that all the members want to support our troops. we are going to do the responsible thing to more. >> if you have gotten halfway to what you want, why not make a deal that would divert a government shu

i think, well -- he asked me for the time. that's all he wanted was the time. i look up -- quarter to 3. he said, thanks. i knew better because i thought, next time he'll ask me something more interesting than the time. [laughter]. [applause]. okay. so, we have 2 more songs for you this evening. this second to last song is a beautiful song. it kind of is a folk song people know. probably when you hear it you know it if you heard yiddish songs before. it's talking about a little girl, don't say a word. the god of abham will come. not yet, you have to respect there is not 3 stars in the sky means the jewish is that bot will apeer. wait a minute and it's a beautiful song i hope you will enjoy. ♪[applause] well, thank you so much for being a fabulous audience. i hate to say goodbye but i must. come to the jewish music festival. there are appetizers and there are amazing evening planned for you. come and be a part of it learn about yiddish. if this interested you at all come and learn more. there is so much richness no matter if you are jewish or know yiddish. there

. >> it strikes me at a time of fiscal austerity, you had to hire 40 more full-time positions to do with this enormous number of requests for an affirmation. >> i believe that in case the department's commitment to foia, to increase the number of hires. >> we have a lot of challenges to make and a lot of choices to make with respect to the budget and there seems to be a commitment there to take 40 full-time positions allocated. the thing that strikes me is the bill put forward by the majority would make across-the-board cuts to the office of the secretary, significant cuts. 9%. the president was going to raise it and h.r. 1 would make more cuts. what will that do to get to the transparency issue? >> it could significantly hinder it. i have been able to double the size of my staff since i have been there. the department has shown commitment around foia across the board. i am concerned these cuts will significantly impact our processing. the foia officers discuss that with me. do you agree?a >> i concur with ms. callahan's judgment. we're trying to make processes as efficient as possible b

is this the time? one is the time that you are hopeful? >> i think now was the only time. if it does not happen now, i am deeply pessimistic. i am not going to sum up what we set to raise totally new issues that we have not talked about. i think there is an indication that we will have a national security debate in this country that we have not seen for a long, long time. the reason i say that is because i am looking what i have seen from republicans that would be surprising, even shocking. you have centers on the commission talking about reductions in the defense budget, which secretary gates promptly called "catastrophic." to see conservative republicans talking about that is something you have not seen people -- you have not seen before. haley barbour coming out against libya and our right opposing what we're doing in afghanistan and calling for reductions in the defense budget. bachmann coming up flatly what we're doing in libya. no pun intended, but i think we're going that have a debate about national security that we have not had for a long time in this country. it

three times. they forged agreements the required tough decisions made by the first president bush, then by president clinton, by congress's and by the republican congress. all three agreements ask for a shared responsibility and shared sacrifice. but they protected the middle class. they protected our commitment to seniors. they protected our investments in our future. as a result of these efforts, america's finances were in great shape by the year 2000. we went from deficit to surplus. america was on track to becoming completely debt-free. we were prepared for the retirement of the baby boomers. after democrats and republicans submitted to fiscal discipline, we lost our way in the decade that followed. we increased spending dramatically four two wars and a prescription drug program. we did not pay for a of the spending. instead, we made the problem worse with unpaid for tax cuts. tax cuts that went to every millionaire a billionaire in the country. tax cuts that will force us to borrow an average

time? >> it also depends upon how the sheriff's implements the program because they are staying there for a period of time anyway. what is going to happen is that the time that they would be transported out, go through the processing and come back, that is the time, but the sheriff's office could implement additional electronic monitoring, alternative sentencing programs, residential drug treatment, outpatient, all of those that are authorized under this law. while we have the population, we would not necessarily need to have the population in custody in a traditional jail setting, and that is where the sheriff would look to the population. when we get our probationers back, we will look at the severity, what their risk and need level is, and prepare a case plan based upon that. that is something similar to talk about, but the law authorizes a significant number of alternative sentencing programs, even beyond the ones the sheriff already uses a lot, but it gives a broader authority. supervi

and try passing the time. she's not alone. i've heard these things many times. the relatives of patients come down into the ninth and irsyringe area to take a break from the hospital room. these people are stressed themplet really stressed -- stressed. they are really stressed. so how will your proposed student population interact with these people? how will you handle this? what is your plan? thank you. president mendoza: i'm sorry, can i ask a clarifying question. you said you subbed. did you sub at the school? >> not at the school. thank you. president mendoza: that's fine. i just wanted to check. thank you. >> my name is spencer. and i agree with everything this gentleman just presented. one of the issues i want to bring up is an issue that's been a seam of the evening here, budgetary issues. i really wonder if we can actually maintain this school as you want to do it because the budgetary. if we can't fund music programs, if we are really drastically cutting things back, whatever you promise us right now, you can promise us that next year? where's the fundi

we didn't know it at the time. it was, there was people at that time that called it the end of an era and for a lot of the artists that were involved in this project they were like spokes in a wheel that made up this music that we were inspired by. people that represented new orleans, people that represented chicago blues and british blues and tin pan ally and on and on and on. so to be able to gather this much musicality in bun evening was a feet unknown to mankind at the time. and then for us to play with everybody and go from dr. john to joanie mitchell in the blink of an eye, it was, i don't know, guinness book of records should have been in on this one. >> if those persons who referred to this as an end of something, if they're right, to your mind it was the end of what? what was it the end of? >> i think that there was a thing that happened in the 60's where there was a unity in this nation, in north america that the voice, the spirit of the youth were so connected and the music really became the voice of tha

>> should he spend more time preparing people for this? we don't have that time. the budget is due and we're going to do a budget. and so let's put the president and the democrats aside. let's assume they're going to use this as a political weapon. let's assume that. our job, i think, then is to offer the country a choice. you know, what do you want? at least let's give the country a choice. i mean, look at the path we're on. we're on a debt crisis path. we're on a path where the government goes from 20% of g.d.p. to 40%, then 60% of g.d. . we are on a path where our debt goes from about 68% of g.d.p. to 800% of g.d.p. over the three generation window. i ask c.b.o. to run the model going out and they told me that their computer stimulation crashes in 2037. because c.b.o. can't conceive of any way in which the economy can continue past the year 2037 because of debt burdens. so we have to go out and give the country a choice. we know the path the president's put the country on, it's a path that i fundamentally believe transforms this country into something it was ne

-- 18 months' time. they will fund the county the equivalent of $25,000 for six months, and on top of that, the community supervision fee. that adds up to a lot less than what the state costs are. what the numbers i just quoted you do not include is all the state litigation costs. the state has a dental lawsuit, a mental health: lawsuit, -- mental health lawsuit, they also have the medical lawsuit, so all the costs associated by the extra burden and monitoring that have to be done by those entities -- the state has not even calculated that into the savings. huge dollar amounts on top of it. what i'm concerned about at the local level is that population that is shifting to, say, for example due process revocation hearings, all of that. if the population is no longer in state prison, it will not be long, i believe, having spent almost 30 years at the state prison system, before those entities start looking at the local levels and look at conditions of refinement, and all of that, and there is no dollar amo

at the same time, the on-time performance, in the way we measure it, it is with a combination of visual observations and automatic passenger counters, and this is taking a look at some of the things we want to do to improve our on-time performance. and there is some of the routes. there is the lowest performing one, and there is a range of why. i mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. on a monthly basis, we're going to do a performance audit, which we will take another look at the schedule, the on-time performance, the open runs, and some of the incidences at the locations, it turns, how many, and those kinds of things come back on a route by run bases with a recovery plan, but in answer to your question, i would be happy to provide a report to fill in the numbers, and we can pretty much customize it to get whatever information you need. >> if the chair would not mind, note we could have that at the meeting to see where we stand, and notify the board members if we are not trending in the right direction instead of waiting. >> i am happy to do that. as i said, we are data rich in terms of

president lee: how much time are they asking for? i know they're asking for time but how long? >> i believe they are asking for more time to comply. i have a copy of the appeal here which i will look over. i don't know if there is a specific time. >> ok. maybe we'll leave it up to the appellant to specify a time. or did i miss it? >> i think the problem that the owners are having is he has tenants up there that are not leaving. you have residential use occurring and you have tenants up there. until the tenants leave you won't be able to do the work. president lee: ok. thank you for your time. >> the inspector is here to speak as well. >> good morning, commissioners. i'm alex fong, deputy inspector and did i the inspection and was at the meeting with the director and the agents of the owner so i can probably answer some of these questions. at the meeting with the director, director day not only reduced the estimated cost from the approximately $93,000 down to $20,000 and she made that valuation based on the photographs that i presented. she also provided extra time to the -- for

when you look at this why is it time after time there is this false equivalency in these articles about global warming or any of the other topics you have written about? >> i keep getting asked that question by journalists. you tell me. it is your business. it is the mystery to me why this is so different. on one level it is understandable in journalists who have a deadline and are not a specialist in science could be confused by these issues and think i need another voice to give me a different perspective. and if somebody has put something on their desk, can you say here is a ph.d.. i had someone say to me what credible scientists can you recommend to me who doesn't believe in global warming and i say none. they don't believe me and they think i am biased. anyone wants to pay me i am waiting for these -- people who pay be the have any money. why has it been so difficult? it isn't just in daily papers and deadlines. you see it in well research magazine articles, and it is extremely troubling. it is not just that there is a celebrity that i don't believe an asset rain -- acid rain. gets

during that time, we will be working to move travel time production proposals forward. as well as other complementary capital work. the goal is similar to the other capital plan with projects ready to be implemented at the conclusion of the process. as indicated, we have identified 10% funding for this project. overall capital costs are $170 million has identified to federal sources. the implementation strategy will allow us to shape a funding plan are around the remaining funding gaps. we believe that projects like the travel time proposals, designed to improve operating efficiencies, are going to compete well for discretionary funds. we will be realigning the existing capital programs. an example would beyond terrible street, the city is going to completely rebuild terrible street in 2018. that will include sue wert working, rails, and travel productions built into the work. there is also all of the prioritization complementing the city's street resurfacing plan, looking for opportunities to leverage other projects when possible. the environmental review process is on

and effort, with some kind of time she -- time sheet reporting. this related to the fact -- that this was a large dollar amount, this was the qualification. >> and which department is this? >> this is the mayor's department. the other finding related to the grant program had to do with the fact that this was permitted under the grant rule. due to the unexpected delays in making the expenditures, the city actually made some money. and this money will have to be returned. this was not returned during the year. there were not timely with respect to the advance. >> and this was a lack of understanding for the rule? >> we can certainly look at this. the next finding related to the capitalization grant for the funds -- this was administered by the port, with 51 of 91 items -- we had 51 certified payrolls to see if the court received those payrolls, -- port received those payrolls and found 21 instances where they paid in advance of receiving this. you are at risk if you find that the wages were not paid -- and you have actually made the payments to the

the time you spent in prison extended to twenty seventeen time and time again and those that support him and said that his imprisonment is politically motivated and president dmitry medvedev has been asked many times himself to comment on the only case and he said that it is his responsibility as the head of state it would be irresponsible for the problem to comment on it to a legal case to do with the weights that his voice would have out one way or the other he has said and acknowledged the holocaust case polarizes opinions. both here in russia and abroad concerning the imprisonment of because. he said that it would be interesting to see the dea views the findings of the expert panel to have all of the facts in front of them rather than just the opinions of people in the streets. outside opinions here and some expert analysis but what do you think will likely be the first independent assessment of the case to. well we one thing we do know is we certainly won't be hearing it anytime soon he appealed against his conviction in december last year and until that appeal process is comple

chauncey was shot three times, the last time in the head. you also had an expert for the company that makes these gps tracking devices basically explaining that, yes, we followed the tracking device on his car and yusef bey iv and poussars were sitting outside his apartment seven hours before he was shot. broussard has admitted to killing chauncey and is testifying against bey iv and mackay. the consequence is saying he's a liar, making it up. the gps tracking device proves what he was saying. he said, we were sitting outside chauncey's apartment, he was trying to get mackay or me to go up there and shoot chauncey. everybody else is saying, that didn't happen. but they clearly were there. >> this video is so dramatic. yet it took the chauncey bailey project to actually put it out there in front of the public and air it. why did it take you guys to do that instead of the police or, you know, law enforcement? >> well, one of the things that we've learned in the whole investigation is that the blueprint in oakland has been very dysfunctional. t

it is a time for family reunion, a time to reaffirm the value of friendship. it is also a time to reflect on the past, while looking forward with renewed hope, to the fresh start of a new year. the year 2010 is very important to remember. last year, the relationship between china and the united states of america has achieved new progress. people to people contacts and exchanges between our two countries grow rapidly. last year, 3 million visited each other. 1 million from china, 2 million from the united states of america. we see our mutual friendship enhanced, our cooperation consolidated and expanded. especially, our bilateral trade reached a new record of $385.3 billion. 29.3% more than the previous year. that is 150 times more than 32 years ago, when china and america established diplomatic relations. and the state of california maintains its leading position in exports to china. in the fourth quarter of last year, california exported x 0.8 billion u.s. dollars to china, which is 28% more than the same period of last year. 35% is from the bay area. the yea

time, different time for women, different time for young people. my parents were concerned about everyone knowing their business, but they were also very thankful that i created this opportunity to actually talk about the things that we had dealt with in our family because probably like many of you there certain taboo things you don't talk about in your family. i remember when i see with some of the abuse issues at camp and i called home want to come home, my mom, to for weeks ago said, was that the time when you wanted to come home from camp when you're being abused? i said yeah. she said i'm so sorry. and that enable us to then talk about a few other things, and other things and other things. and my dad, for weeks ago we sat down for breakfast, and he's getting with parkinson's, he's battling his own health right now. you look me in the eye and he said, i'm sorry. i wish i had no. i wish i had been there. that enabled us to say great, like this big weight being lifted off. okay, he gets it now. and then we were able to build on our relationship.

be a better use of our time. the other thing that i want you to understand before we take this vote, if we say that we will take a 50% released in reserves, what we are saying is that we will only release $750,000. meaning that you have a cap or a shortfall in your budget, roughly. if we come back in one month, the department but have no ability to deal with it. let of noticing provisions would kick in and he would not be able to realize a savings. we're with the department code to figure out how to realize the shortfall? they would go directly to contracts. they are not going to reduce the rent. they will not have savings in the other categories. i want to impress upon all of us here, the reason i will not be supporting partial release, frankly, we have exhausted this item. we need to come back and monitor it, focusing on the future and other opportunities. second of all, i think apple you will be leading the department in a bad situation. contracts and other things to close the gap. making a decision later on i

we don't have time for games. we don't have time for trying to score political points or maneuvering or positioning. not on this. as i said, when it comes to long-term debt and deficit, there's going to be a real debate about, you know, how do we make sure that we have a social safety net for the american people, when folks have a tough time, how do we make sure that we're investing in the future. and how do we pay for it? and that is a legitimate debate to have, but right now what we're talking about is six months remaining on the 2011 budget and we have hit a figure by any standard would be historic in terms of cuts. and what we can't do is have a my way or the highway approach to this problem. we can't have a my way -- >> president obama after meeting with congressional leaders today about spending for the rest of this budget year. returning live to the senate. earlier today the senate repealed a tax provision in the health care law for small business. right now senator tom coburn is speaking on the senate floo
