well, i mean, the act requires reasonable accommodation to the individual.ks about approaching substance abuse treatment facilities afterwards, and they made an effort to make a reasonable accommodation; he seemed satisfied with it. but he also talked about when he lost the use of his limbs, he was still drinking; so that's part of what we're trying to deal with is making sure that people don't use a disability as an excuse for not addressing both of his issues at the time. so people start focusing on the apparent disability and not deal with the co-occurring issue, which, as-as ed pointed out, was-was his continued drinking. so both situations needed to be addressed. in-in a sense that's one of these sort of reverse discrimination issues when dealing the physical limitation but not dealing with the alcohol or the substance abuse issue. and for this dialogue, it's really important for people to recognize that you can have these co-occurring or co-morbid situations, and both need to be addressed. and once the facility or once he was ready, and i-i can't speak

pursuant to the new process that we have outlined and had adopted by the board of directors to accommodate some very small new meter requests, but we certainly wouldn't be able to do anything on the scale of what we originally had proposed, for example, for the northeast mission proposal that we had since significantly changed, so the 5 thousand option would not give us the ability to do anything of that scale or even really a median scale, you know, very, very small meter insulation request that we would work through if they were agreeable by the community and your offices, we would still have room to do some of those within an option of 5 thousand. >> okay, so it sounds like i just wanted to summarize what you just said, so beautifully and eloquently, but the 5 thousand meters would be used for replacement of existing port meters, they'd serve as a maintenance contingency and also the allocation of the [inaudible] meters, is that correct? >> that's correct. >> okay. one more question. now, should the mta get a request from meters which had the request of 415 meters, where or how would th

at a near by polling place for anyone who needs that accommodation. everyone can contact us for help with that. that accessibility is access to the room to vote. we have extra poll workers and lots of thing, there are elevators and things like that. once inside all of our polling places are accessible in terms of voting booths that can accommodate wheelchairs and our edge machines, which are voting machines we've been using since 2008 and our audio and touch voting screens in four languages and english spanish and chinese on our touch screen. that's all good. of course, if you do not want to go to a polling place there are other ways to vote. you can vote in our fully accessible city hall. early voting is going on now. everyday. the last two weekends before the election we are open. you can enter on grove street and it's a very accessible opportunity for voting and of course you can vote by mail. you can request to vote by mail. vote from the comfort of your own home. those request can be made until october 29. you can still vote by mail for this elec

this accommodates for the incommunicable delay and accommodates the decouple of of the shipyard sites. so we had one phase and now those fees are insinuated separately and the document you're looking is the - not the major phase for boo sites. in the scheduled performance there's a small additional communication for the navy delay. the navy has announced subsequent to our schedule another year delay. there's an outside date that's intended to allow for the flexibility so we don't get caught up in the original schedule. also there is as part of the ongoing process for the mta the bill of rights alignment has been carefully studied to have the configuration for the pedestrian safety this means and i'm flipping now on the lower left of the screen this red circle we've moved the bus transit from the side to the center this is to conform better to the intrt plan. chris marshall is here and he's available to answer specific questions about the methodology we've worked with the sfmta bicycle safety staff and the oval in the upper right-hand side we do this as the christen marshall special i

san francisco is expected to accommodate about the 15 percent of that growth. that is a small number but we still need to accommodate about 190,000 jobs and 90,000 housing units and that will take us to a million people. to reach these numbers, as you can see we would need to on an average basis produce about 6,000 jobs a year. we have not come close to those numbers in the last 15 or 20 years. it's the pace of growth and i realize it's troubling to some but those numbers reflect our share of regional growth. again, just to look at the recent plans, the department has spent the last 15 years doing plans for those parts of the city where the growth will happen. if you look at this map, this is the growth plan for housing. the eastern neighborhoods represents about 12 percent of the city's growth. so, it does represent a fair amount, but it does not represent the majority of growth that is proposed in the city that is largely in the downtown south of market and shipyard and candlestick and treasure island. these are neighborhoods that represent roughly 12 percent

and the data supports the beginning of the removal of the policy accommodation. i began my time as chairman with the goal of increasing the transparency of the federal reserve and of monetary policy in particular. in response to a financial crisis, the feds monetary policy communications have proved a far more important tool that evolved in different ways than it would have envisioned eight years ago. the economy has made significant progress since the depths of the recession. however, we are still far from where we would like to be, and consequently, it may be some time before monetary policy returns to more normal settings. i agree with the sentiment expressed by my colleague janet yellin at her testimony next week. that the surest path to a more normal approach is to do all we can today to promote a more robust recovery. the fomc remains committed to maintain a highly accommodative policy for as long as needed. communication about policy is likely to remain a central element of the federal reserves efforts to achieve its policy goals. thank you.

that exemption was expanded, but they worked out this accommodation for other things like a catholic charity or university and evangelical university that would allow them to provide this health insurance for their employees. but a third party administrator, it's get technical, a murder party administrator would separately provide the free contraception coverage to that employee. so the employer would not be facilitating in any way the administration says, the supplying of the free contraception health coverage. the for-profit businesses don't have that accommodation. >> we'll be talking more with these guests after a moment after a short break. this is inside story. >> every sunday night al jazeera >> every sunday night al jazeera america brings you america brings you controversial... controversial... >> both parties are owned by the >> both parties are owned by the corporations. corporations. >> ..entertaining >> ..entertaining >> it's fun to play with ideas. >> it's fun to play with ideas. >> ...thought provoking >> ...thought provoking >> get your damn education. >> get your damn

most accommodation to find cheaper accommodation which is significantly though many moms and kids. it's the responsibility of local authorities to inspect rental accommodation but as a minister john o'sullivan said some councils outside dublin simply not doing that job there are some very good deal of taxi services are not doing this as they should be we want a good practice to it to be as red rice cost function. the organization that represents not all it's the irish property owners association says the abolition of bed said accommodation was called the supply of cheap rental properties. buffett says there's no excuse for a sub standard conditions. jonker rain i've seen use dublin and that's cent to thirty years with major injuries has reported an increase in cases of suspected attempted suicides involving single vehicle collisions the center's hospital in dublin says the injuries were severe and complex to treat patients for copper and campbell began. major pelvic damage to a young patient following a single vehicle collision recently. it is not an accident but an attempted suici

something we would still go through this enhanced process, that's something we would be able to accommodate, but i don't see that within this level of optional meter availability within this contract that we would be able to do a 40 parking meter proposal. i think we would have to tell the requester of any such proposal that we would need to seek additional authority in order to accommodate that, to even consider that. >> you have three levels of size of meter requests, small being 1 to 50, medium being 50 to 100, did i hear that correctly, and then 100 to 150 would be large? >> yes, so those were -- that was how we tried to develop tiers of enhanced public notification, all of which are enhanced from what we had been doing. but again, it's somewhat mute if we don't have additional meters to even be responsive to these requests. but that's what that bucketing was for, it was to trigger higher levels of public notification and outreach. >> so, again, when you had mentioned to supervisor cohen that our 5 thousand meter allocation would allow you to respond to small meter requests, is it 1 to

someone should take a close look at how we can accommodate the needs of the low income folks. members ought to consider that perhaps as we go forward this afternoon we could do an amendment before voting if there is in fact support for that. thank you, good afternoon. >> good afternoon, chair nolan and board members and director riskin, my name is carla johnson and i am the interim director at the mayor's office on disability and our role is to service the city's overall ada compliance officer to make sure all our city services, programs and facilities are accessible as required under the ada and we consider parking to be just another program. we are here to share with you the recommendations from the accessible parking committee. this is a committee co-chaired by myself and ed risk rib, your director. with me today is going to be a co-presentor, bob planthold, many of you know bob already. bob is a disability advocate and also pedestrian safety advocate and a transportation advocate and we'll be doing our presentation together. we're going to start out with a short video. thi

well, it's an accommodation issue.one of the ways that my program stepping stone has had to adapt is we have so many clients who are hiv positive or have aids, that we have to be medication savvy. you know, many treatment programs will have kind of a blanket prohibition on psychoactive drugs or, you know, heavy-duty medications. we-we decided years ago that we couldn't- we couldn't hold to that. that our clients who either had co-occurring disorders and required psychoactive medication or who were on the various cocktails they needed as a part of their hiv/aids treatment really needed a treatment program that was very savvy about that. so we began to develop some case management services with funding from the hiv/aids side as well as co-occurring. and i think, as a result, our clients have a much better access to recovery because their medications are not being prohibited by the treatment program. john's point is well taken; it's not just individual with hiv/aids, it's people with co-morbidities that require medication

try to preempt such outcomes, a strong case existed for monetary policy to be more accommodative than suggestive by standard policy rules calibrated to normal times. the committee faced a situation which more monetary policy accommodation was needed and possibly for quite a long time, yet its basic policy tool, the federal funds rate target had been pushed to its limit. to put the committee's problem another way, standard policy rules and a range of other analyses implied that to achieve the fomc's directives the federal funds rate should be set below zero which was not feasible. fortunately, as i discussed earlier, the accommodation provided by monetary policy, depends on not just the current value of the currency rate but future settings of that rate. the committee accordingly realized it could ease policy further and reduce uncertainty about future policy by assuring the public and markets that intended to keep the policy rate low for some time, and to you for a longer period than the public initially expected at first, the committee employed qualitative information to deliver that

will see in the present that ising that we have designed the dtx so that the goals be able to be accommodated when the funds are found. and so the new slide and this was referring earlier the difference between 1.3 miles which is the figure that you probably have heard before and that is typically how we describe the length of the dtx that is the amount of the extension going from the terminal of fourth and king and extending to the far east end of the transit center, if you look at the entire program area. where the tunnel go below grade and it is actually the full length is 1.95 miles. and those, too, and areas are described on this graphic. >> and got the southern boundary there is what street? >> and bliefsh that is channel street. >> okay. >> mission bay draif. >> and in terms of the bay program and we mentioned earlier is that in it, it describes the increasing surrounding properties by 3.9 billion and a significant increase in project and personal in the next two decades and the creation of over 125,000 jobs and directly and indirectly that comes from the m trick that the american tran

challenged the kingfarm condo board's rejection of her parking request for reasonable accommodationsy filing a discrimination complaint with the maryland commission on human relations. the commission concluded that because the space would be further away from the building that it raises doubts as to whether the accommodation is indeed reasonable and it determined the condo board did not discriminate against them. the couple says this is not about being closer to their building. it's about having enough space to use their parking spot safely. in a statement the board of directors for the kingfarm village center says they are sympathetic to the situation and have tried to offer compromise options. one option was to see if a resident who had a handicapped garage would swap. did not work the other option was a handicapped parking spot with an accessibility lane in the area behind their condo, but it came with a caveat. the couple would have to give up their garage and tandem spot. they said no believing it could impact the value of their home. in these photos provided to us you can see t

>> we wouldn't be able to accommodate a request of that size, so we would need another procurement vehicle such as modifying this contract that would require i believe any contract that requires and receives approval by the board of supervisors, also the modification would require approval of the board of supervisors, so a possibility would be we would come back, say we'd have the specific request, here's the process and we'd seek your authorization to modify the contract. >> what's the other possibility? that's one possibility. i'm under the impression that there's only one pathway. >> i don't think there would be another way to do that, i think the core -- the most important thing we need to do is ensure we could maintain the asset base that we have and the 5 thousand would really bring us down to the level of our being able to do that so we would not be able to within this contract if approved this way accommodate a 400 parking meter expansion. >> alright, thank you very much, i appreciate that. so, i'm definitely supportive of the amendment and supportive of supporting replacement of o

i believe it could be costly to withdraw accommodation or failed to provide adequate accommodation. on the other hand it would be important to make sure we do withdraw accommodation when the time has come. my colleagues and i are committed to the longer run inflation goal of two percent. we will need to ensure that as recovery takes home we will bring monetary policy back to normal in a timely fashion. i believe we have the tools to do so. we have been careful to make sure we have the tools available at our disposal and we also have the will and commitment, and i look forward to leading the normalization of monetary policy. >> thank you. >> i would like to follow-up up on the question with you. with regard to quantitative easing, you have indicated you feel as long as the economy remains fragile that we need to continue with the federal reserve. the fed's balance sheet will reach almost 24% of gdp in the first quarter of 2014. i am concerned about the impact on the economy and the unintended consequences of these accommodations. it seems to me there is a disconnect between what the
