department of building inspection and for the planning department. we believe that we will see enhanced functionality for both departments and it gives us an opportunity to move some of our business practices to industry standards where that is allowable under the planning code and this allows us to have greater consistency in our procedures across the two departments. it provides for much better, citizen access. the public will have the ability to track application for project status online as well as apply for applications online and their fees. we are expecting much better reporting capabilities. we will have the system fully integrated. because this is a web-based system we will have better availability. this is intended to replace planning and dbi's system. these were built with a particular purpose in mind that was not a single able to scale to the demands that we place on 8 today. we have made improvements over the years but we have always been limited in the full functionality of our system. we will be including this. we will have this to attract the status of our community efforts. this has the fee assessment. in 2005, the leadership of both

space is not needed any longer for that purpose, then we have several other potential uses, particularly the department of public health has identified specific program uses, and, frankly, we are out right now securing visas which may be becoming before your body very soon for expansions, many of which are either grant funded, revenue-based, where we just havewithin the city family of buildings to accommodate those programs. we're executing the show does -- shortest term leases possible, so if they become available, we can relocate those uses. this, because of its proximity to city hall, is an ideal candidate. the quality

department of justice those tactics had to stop. they were not acceptable. they had to stop. that was my reaction to finding out about the use of that technique. >> to your knowledge, did deputy attorney general gary gwindler or assistant attorney general lanny brewer authorize gun walking or tactics employed in fast and furious. >> to my knowledge they did not. >> let me ask this. if you have been asked to approve of gun walking, what would you have said? >> no, simple. there's questions in corruption cases when you decide are you going to let the money walk. there are questions in narcotics cases, are you going to let the drugs walk so you can make a case. have you spirited conversations about that. i can understand how there can be different opinions. the notion you would let guns walk in a firearms case is for me absurd. absurd. it was the reason why i said it cannot happen, why we stopped it. it is not doj policy and anybody that does it now is breaking a directive from the attorney general of the united states. >> if you were asked or told by the atf or united nations attorneys office about the tactics in operation fas

that because air force and navy and contractors who get paid to tell the department of defense what it wants to hear and get used by the department of defense to make misleading statements to the public, this is okay, this is -- this is what you should accept as authority. what you should do is go and look at the analysis that's published, right? the warhead, a three-meter long warhead that i can show you the data for if you take the trouble to bore you with it, we don't need to, has radar cross section blow .01 of a square meter at x band. i've rated it, push established it. dean has seen it. i don't know why it's .1 meters when he's talking about an x band radar of range. it diminishes the range. it will not acquire the target at long range and it means if there's any chance of discriminating you will not have what's called the signal to noise to do it. and let me explain very simple notion that you all will understand quickly. if you can only dimly see an object because the threshold of what i can see, see it, i still may not be able to identify it relative the other objects that look somewhat similar. only i

the cons use cell phones to access facebook pages and from there, they set up murderous hits and stalk their victims. the california department of corrections uses a team of shepherds to sniff them out. >> for the guys that we catch, it is one of the most popular things they use in here. >> really nice expensive one, huh? >> these go for $1,000. >> $1,000 for that? >> oh yeah. >> inmates caught with a cell phone could have 90 days added to their sentence. but it isn't much of a deter rent. some inmates are so bold they have taken pictures of themselves in prison and posted them to their facebook page. >> an under cover agent posing as a mom, busted a bay area operation as the state of california says is illegal. it's not guns, not drugs. the doctor shows us, you can drink this contraband. >> 18 month old ruby seems far too content to cry over spilled milk. her parents, they are livid. >> i feel insulted. i do. >> i was really upset. i was angry. >> julie and martin are steamed over a crackdown that dried up their milk supply. >> it's a slippery slope for the government to tell us what we can and cannot eat. >> julie supplemented

use of the program? in 2008, the department of labor concluded that the majority of growers find the program so plagued with problems that they avoid using it all together. this sub committee held a hearing in which witnesses described what was wrong with the program. growers believe that the labor department, which largely administers the program, is hostile to them and the program. growers are troubled by the great cost of using the h 2-a program, especially the adverse wage rate. growers have to build free housing for the guest workers. america needs a guest worker program that is fair to everyone it impacts. farm workers and guest workers. a program must provide growers who want to do the right thing with legal labor. it must protect the livelihood of american workers and rights of guest workers. it must keep in mind the pocketbooks of american families. i have introduced legislation, the american specialty agriculture act, that accomplishes these goals. it establishes an h 2-c guest worker program responsive to the needs of the american growers and maintain strong policies. it does so without the mass

of the barriers are for large carbon capture and storage. so my question to you there would be what is the pathway and what can the department give us in terms of information in terms of what your scientists believe is a way to move to commercially viable demonstration projects. >> sure. first, the carbon capture technologies that are being tested today, and i'll divide them into two categories. this is after combustion you capture the carbon. there are mea type technology or chilled ammonia type technologies. those are being pylon tested. they're by and large in the commercial sector. we feel that we would like to develop less expensive means because if you make -- if you put in an estimate of how much it would increase the electricity bills, we think that this would not -- this would not spur not in the united states, but it would not spur china or india into using these technologies. so we would like to improve them. we think there are potential ways of improving them. one of the potential ways is to -- these are your very large high surface areas. so we're investing a lot of research to decrease the size of these capture stacks. totally

we are probably one of the first 5 departments in the country that put out policies and procedures informing our officers of what these laws are. >> the us, the department of justice and the aclu have all sided with sharp. >>> the battle of maryland's same sex marriage bill will heat up again today. wjz and andrea fujii are live on the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. later supporters will gather again trying to move this bill forward as emotions run high on both sides. opponents of the same sex marriage proposal rallied last month near the state house steps. their message to lawmakers, vote no on the bill. the bill's future rests in the hands of the house of delegates. now lawmakers on both sides. issue are making their voices heard. >> i don't believe that we are going to lose. >> reporter: delegate emmit burns is against the bill. he is also a pastor in baltimore county. he says more religious groups are speaking out against the proposal. >> people are rushing up to me saying we don't want this. >> it is going to be close but i think that we are going to be successful. >> reporter: delegate luke clippinger is one of eig

opinion, because this is happening on a number of occasions, where the department or the occ will have speakers or training that comes in that could be of great use to officers in general, or staff in general, with the police department. i am wondering if there is not a way to talk to the potential speakers ahead of time and get permission to do some type of either audio or video taping for just the initial presentation -- not the exchange or the workshops that would take place afterwards. i am just kind of throwing them out, so that in the future we can keep that in mind when we are talking to prospective presenters. >> i do understand your proposal, but the speaker's charge -- speakers charge based on the number of participants. if they were to take it, they would not derive the benefit. and i have to say it would not be ideal to take this particular -- tape this particular workshop. it is an all-day interaction. she is asking for people to give frank and honest opinions about racial bias. she wants candida's from police officers, who often feel that they have been unfairly targeted with a racial profiling allegation. she wants a frank conversa

of space to put ramps inside. we also looked at a five-foot wide ramp, but the department told us of was not a feasible option, becausethe ruling would be in the middle of the sidewalk. as far as the issue of parking, i know that is a concern that it is going to be difficult to get from the parking space to the sidewalk area because of the railing that runs the length of our split level sidewalk, and along the front of the building, there are eight parking spaces. five of them are actually where the proposed split level sidewalk will be. it is not all of the parking spaces, so of those parking spaces, two will be able to go around their own car to get onto the sidewalk. the other three cars in the middle would need to go behind a parked car, and it is somewhat similar to a shopping center, were you sometimes need to go to a parking lot area, go behind cars to get to your store, walking down the traffic island. -- isle. ças far as vandalism and graffiti, i recognize that may be a problem, but i cannot see how the railing is going to encourage or increase the amount of graffiti or vandalism. and we have not found out t

it is, you can see the wonderful and beautiful result of all the neighbors that have backed us through all of this, as well as the other departments who have helped us out. we want to thank you. this community built this block and it is a tight neighborhood now. we not only what can pick up litter with each other, we go into each other's homes, each dinner, drinks, have a great time. we have now become a family. thanks again for those that burn able to see this to be able to come through. [applause] and i want to thank the residence. this block has been torn up for a long time, especially since we found the main sewer line needed repair. the residents have endured with little complaint, having to work around dirt, pot holes, trenches, without a little complaining, and we were able to get through this whole thing. thank you. now we are going to learn how to take care of it. you will not see cigarette butts in the planters. no litter on the ground. thank you caughto everybody. i want to introduce juan fuentes now who will talk about the things that you do not see. >> i am a resident here. my wife and kids have been here, over 25 yea

of the church -- surcharge rates that are necessary. if there is a significant shift in the department's coming before us, and we have seen the department of public works has not had an uptick in the number of appeals, year-to-date, i think it is up 22% from last year. there might need to be some shift in which departments;' surcharges bear the revenue. the deadline for submitting that information to us is april. the controller will be able to do its final analysis of our rates are around that time, and we will have more information. my recommendations to how we approach next year's budget is three-pronged. the need to implement each one dependent upon the amount of the increase and projections that we get from the surcharge revenues. the first one being that we offset new expenses by a reduction in the city attorney work order, with my main goal being to avoid any increase in the surcharge rates, and therefore deflect in the impact of these increases on members of the public. i think there is some room to cut in that work order. we have seen savings last year, about 57%. we ended with a $79,000 surplus in that line item. there is only

department has received several phone calls on the project in one letter of support which has been included in your packet. , focused on the request for additional information and clarification of the assembly use. after analyzing all the aspects of the project, this department finds the project to be desirable and necessary. the project would rehabilitate a city landmark and would maintain the property's historic character and address the deteriorated state of the building if been. including the existing windows and architectural elements. it would maintain the economic base and promote use throughout the south of market neighborhood as noted. this concludes my presentation. thank you. >> brajah sponsor. -- project sponsor. >> ia m the -- i am the project sponsor along with brian spears. the project started as a residential project but what we realized after working with staff and is maintaining the grandeur is an important element. we created a new design which is in front of you. that is to take a building completed in 1913 in need of a seismic upgrade and make it a 22,000 square foot office building with all the associated uses. in working with planning staff and trouble we have come up wit

of the state department. i face had in the case of us versus alabama, the question is why aren't the countys reporting the data to the ac, and the answer of course from the justice department's perspective is we only look at the states, so it sort of locks you into a model of resolution that i do not necessarily think is helpful. i will -- obviously this will be in the front and center this year, i mean, you will hear about these cases. so i guess, the question is, what what comes out of it? i can't predict. i think it's a county problem more than a state problem. >> okay. i think -- >> mr. secretary, could i just say one word to that which is we agree actually and would join you in moving toward a cleaner list to the extent that we have the data that bares out that this is a problem. and so, i don't, i don't think there's a difference of party on this issue and i would say the same thing with respect to your comments on compliance and ensuring that military voters in maryland are able to vote across the ballot, that is something we would absolutely be in favor of as well. and the section seven enforcement tha
