you'll see a pending on south dakota, that's no longer pending, we precleared that. and you'll see michigan is pending and that's no longer pending because that was also precleared. let me give you an example of what we have been doing. our process again is to be sure we give a comprehensive and independent review to all these plans. and louisiana is a good example of the approach that we have taken because we not only have waited for the plans to come in to do the review but before that, we have done a remarkable amount of outreach to explain the process. in the case of louisiana, i actually traveled down there at the suggestion and invitation of a bipartisan group of lawmakers and i addressed a bicameral session in the house and the senate. i did so because of term limits there's been a lot of transitions. a decade ago, two thirds of the member, house and senate, roughly, had already gone through a redistricting cycle. this time around, two-thirds were going through their first redistricting cycle. it was important to explain firsthand what the process was and i th

the jump in pending home purchases helped spark some buying in home-related areas of the stock market. pending contracts on existing homes jumped 2% in january, up to the highest level in almost two years. that news on real estate helped push shares of whirlpool to a seven month high, jumping almost 7%. volume was strong on the move. paintmaker sherwin williams is at a new high today, up more than 2%. shares are up more than 26% in the past year. speaking of homes, home supplies retailer lowe's turned in earnings a nickel better than estimates. similar to home depot's quarter, lowe's benefited from mild weather allowing customers to start on home improvement projects early. shares saw heavier than usual volume, but were up less than 1%. focus shifted to online travel company priceline.com after the bell today. and the name your own price website continues to see big growth. wall street was expecting a big jump in earnings from a year ago. priceline did not disappoint. results were more than 30 cents per share stronger than estimates. both international and domestic travel bookings wer

the case has been sealed pending the release of the coroner's report. some new details and did the merger to date. grant lodes is here with more. >>craig: first, news happening right now, this was the scene a few minutes ago outside of the funeral hall in newark and new jersey. the singer was found dead in her room at the beverly hilton hotel late saturday afternoon. we do not know why she died, but we have a much clearer picture of what happened immediately before and after her desk. she was in a room on the fourth floor of a luxury hotel on wilshire boulevard. about 3:00 p.m. on saturday, she said she is going to take a bath. >> about a half an hour later, her hair dresser knocked on the door to let her know it was time to start getting ready. when she did not answer, she entered the room and found the superstar face up in her bathtub. they frantically tried to revive her, but it was too late. >>grant: kezar was found dead at the scene. they found prescription drugs in her room including the zanucks, lorazepam and some gossip sites are reporting that

there was a supplemental appropriation when we issued this report pending, and it was reduced from the available balance. supervisor chu: in terms of the $15.8 million that goes from the general fund to different baselines, how much of that was themt mta portion? >> if you bear with me one moment, that is one slide further and we will show you those numbers. these are discretionary revenues, qc practically everything on this table is in the plus. almost $20 million of additional payroll taxes and sales taxes cut by $12 million. hotel room taxes are up by almost $12 million. we have had two very positive quarters and we are back to peak hotel tax revenue. if you look at the bottom of this table, a property transfer tax, we are up to the peak of transfer tax collections. $162 million, almost $44 million more than budgeted. supervisor avalos: thank you. monique, can you talk about the real estate transfer tax change , the trends? is it the highest and property, where are we seeing the change? >> this is the highest year we are projecting. we have had fluctuations of $100 million over the

so all these pending sales will not necessarily turn into closings. now, as for the optimism at least on the part of mr. buffett, it appears to be all about affordability. record low mortgage rates and bargain basement prices are leading him to say if you can, get in. >> if i had a way of buying a couple hundred thousand single family homes and had a way of managing them -- the management is really the problem because they're one by one, not like apartment houses, but i would load up on it. >> now you noted his optimism an investor taking advantage of these distressed properties to turn them around as rentals. that of course implies he doesn't expect rental demand to fall off any time soon. while sales have begun to rerebound, home prices have not. we'll get the latest reading tomorrow morning. kp expectations there not quite so bullish. >> diana, if as mr. buffett says it's such a great time to get in and buy, what's holding back the bulk of the ordinary market from getting in? >> getting a mortgage, sue. that's what i hear every single day. a lot of

since early december, we have conducted a robust outreach effort that is unprecedented for any pending legislation. we invested staff time and resources to make sure that the proper work was done. i wanted to take a moment to detail those activities. they have included one-on-one outreach. you can get merchant organizations. my staff reached out to be supervisor to get input on which neighborhood associations you would like to ensure were reached in your community. we also worked with the mayor's staff on his recommendations as well. on starting the outreach through the list of priority organizations, we were happy to join the supervisor for a forum in chinatown that he and his staff co-sponsored. we were also happy to present on the proposed legislation. we presented at the small business commission hearing, the value mission association and south of market association. in total, we reached out to 35 key merchant organizations across the city and all districts, using e-mail and phone. we heard back from 23 of these organizations after multiple attempts. the second tactic that we emplo

the occ currently has 362 pending cases, compared to 439 last year at this time. we are doing much better at being able to manage our caseload because the number of complaints being filed are fewer. in january, the occ mediated 6 cases, 9% of the cases it closed. it also sustained six cases, giving us the same mediation and sustained weight. we have 362 pending cases. 61 were opened this year. 300 are from last year. one is from 2010. moving on to training. on friday, we hosted all day training on fair and impartial police and, conducted by dr. frudekkm -- fridell, former director of research at perf, a nationally-recognized expert on racial profiling. commissioner turman attended the training. chief suhr greeted the attendees. internal affairs division members attended, i did the bart independent police auditor, the deputy chief of police of art, members of the citizen staff, and the director of bayview hunters point mobilization for a lesson growth in our community. -- for adolescent growth in our community. the doctor has conducted training several times in san

note, as has been pointed out, that there are two, even within this phase one, there are two still pending actions by the board of supervisors for two funding sources, and that is the $15.50 million for the certificates of participation and a possible general fund appreciation of $6.50 million, but given that this cruise terminal project has come before the board several times, and it has been the policy of the board to proceed, at least heretofore with this 27 cruise terminal project, we do recommend approval. chair chu: thank you, mr. rose. i think in light of this news that we do not have a funding source for 2 million, i think both the supervisor avalos and i find it that the cleanest way for us to deal with this is to reduce it by the $2 million, but the only reason why we may actually pass a $27 million with perhaps a reserve on the $2 million is it there is an eminent source of funding and we expect to becoming relatively shortly and also in terms of the timeline, if there is a particular timeline that we are trying to meet. can you explain to us why we may want to do this with a su

yet her nomination has been pending on the floor for nearly three months. an easy one. unanimously passed, has served as a district court judge, could be voted for and passed if not by 100%, very close to it. the ninth circuit, which has by far more pending cases per appellate panel than any other appellate court, needs her to be confirmed without further delay. there is a reason for this. i think republicans don't like some of the appellate courts. therefore, what they try to do, candidly, is keep the positions vacant in hope that after the election there will be a republican president, and they will get their nominees through. well, you know, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, and this is not, i think, a good way to handle judicial appointments. let me give you another one. paul watford should be confirmed quickly to the ninth circuit. he is eminently qualified, he clerked for conservative judge alex kuzinski and ruth bader ginsburg and has been a distinguished practitioners of appellate law in california for many years. he's uncontroversial. he's bee

a matter of accommodation i'm less troubled to using the recess appointment clause that has been pending before the senate for a good while than i am in using it with respect to a nomination that has not been pending before the senate. the legality, illegality, i don't think would change one way or the other. those would either stand or fall together. as a prudential matter making it a combination. the reason being if the nomination has been before the senate, the senate has had it within its power to engage within the function. in fact, it chose not to do so. the senate has never had a called up and debated what advice to give the president on the nomination of richard cordry. minority of the senate has prevented that item of business to come before the senate. it has within the power to discussion the nomination and give its advice to the president who then, with their consent, could also appoint. but they haven't engaged in any formal way in the advice function of having the florida senate discuss and make the president aware of their views of the advisability or lack of advisability

defense counsel and prosecuting attorney will not discuss this case pending further order of the court's my understanding there are two exceptions, one exception that is prosecutor will having some explanation after the proceedings. i have talked to defense attorney, and if he feels inaccuracies has been stated by the media, that he will submit to the court a response for the review and if they think it's appropriate to keep the facts in this matter, the court would authorize such release of information. is that correct? >> yes, that correct. >> is that correct, mr. joyce? >> that is correct. >> that brings one other issue before we get to the tentative issue, multiple media sources i believe, were up to 47, have asked to participate or appear during these proceedings. the court is well aware the case law in this issue including the case that involved this court 12 years ago, members of the media should have received a copy of the order the court issued this morning that spells out the rules for media participation in the court as well as should have spell had out a form and applicatio
