those there are 0 those who have been successful and unfortunately two things the age of the internet and the immediacy of the goods is a crippleing thing in the recession we're looking for the pdr in the business plan that's the core of our business nor more than thirty years. >> so what's itself occupancy rate of building. >> about 90 percent for the 2 henry adams and the galleria less than 20 percent there's a financial occupancy that's below that. the occupancy numbers i stated are the obtain cyberspace >> their active businesses in the space and you said the galleria is 20 percent or less than 80. >> yes. >> that's a pointed question it it stems from feedback from our tenant have you refused to represent new leases for the building other than the first floor. >> we have month to month leases and spoken and addressed many of those concerns about what is this transition looking like we can't have a to my left because it continues to have all those approvals but we have and will continue to work with each one and ideally it's across the street and at the same time keep the ground fl

be pushing those to continue. >> thank you. >> and maybe, just, i am and i love this. and i actually think that it is really great and what i like about it, is mostly that is seeks for build the infrastructure that we don't currently have that can be used in other places and so i live close to the corridor and i worked in just gives the property owner an incentive to move forward and i see that it will not be an abandoned storefront if the property owner contracts out with the real estate agent and that is a state forward and provides incentive for the property owner to move forward to get the space leased. >> okay. >> commissioner walker? >> director huey, have you assessed what the financial consequence will be on us ie, increase the staffing, etc.? >> yeah, i expect maybe an increase at least one inspector and maybe one clerk. >> okay. sure. >> okay >> cool. >> okay. >> all right. >> and there are no further questions, thank you for your consideration of this. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> and is there a motion on it? >> do we need public comment? >> public comment

to be sure from our prospective those appendixes to the roof those new amenity that got added they don't warrant another neighborhood review. >> that's correct. >> what's the basis for this determination. >> the planning code 311 talks about the features that require notice and the movable planters the fire pit are not called out in the 311 for interpretations that require notice, in fact, their interpretations of the planning code is the exempt notice those are features in the third degree found in the planning code section 260 which deals with the exemptions from 0 height limit that includes features like furniture and . >> kitchen on the roof-deck. >> right that's not a notice. i have on the overhead things that were submitted at the time of the dr hearing. and so you can see it's a plan roof-deck no first year firs or roof-deck no notification was required this is before you on appeal so it's a question of the boards discretion about it those elements are appropriate but again, it was approved by our department and no notice is required this was in compliance with the commissions dr

we are indebted to those brave men and women who secured the victory.ay them by preparing future generations to be counted on when the moment comes for us to act. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you, susan. i am honored to introduce our final speaker today, elliott toby roosevelt, elliott roosevelt the third. he served as a fighter pilot in the air force reserve. completing service, he entered business in his families investment firm. he earned a ba degree from stanford university with honors and an mba from harvard business school. he is married with a one-year-old son who is in the audience and a three week old daughter who is also here. his beautiful family is in the front row. thank you for being with us today. toby, the podium is yours. [applause] >> i would like to say thank you to the friends of the national world war ii memorial for being with me here today and to the audience for being here to commemorate the 70th anniversary of d-day. on june 6, 1944, i, of course, had not been born. my father was seven years old, and it is likely tha

those things. and even if we have to go into closed session to talk about the legal committee cases or if we need to talk about -- get a report from the city attorney in closed session about those cases, i'd be happy for the bic to agenda those items, but somehow we need a more timely response in those purgatory issues. >> we've taken suggestions from jerry there, but unopened complaints we're looking at -- we're looking at open novs we're actively working on, inactive novs, and category of open at planning department, which is a category so we can categorize those notice of violations and open the city attorney cases that take quite some time too to get resolution there. there's breakdowns for emergency orders, order for abatements, emergencies, referrals to code enforcement, work without permit. there's several and you'll have a draft of that. and i think they're good categories. i don't want to get too lengthy on the categories. >> thank you. >> [inaudible] update for housing and also included p

those taxes are already being paid. you shift that money that's there because you're going to expand medicaid and take care of all the poor people, that some of which are being taken care of now and just use that tax base in the place of the state of florida's share of 10%. the legislature of florida would not buy it in the closing days and weeks of the session. it is my hope that they will in the future, but that is the kind of example that the new secretary of h.h.s. will be dealing with as the previous secretary of h.h.s. has already dealt with iterations of how to cover additional medicaid population, states like arkansas and michigan have worked with h.h.s. to find ways, some of them using the private marketplace to expand coverage. and so it is my hope that with the new secretary, with the obvious need of additional health care for people who cannot afford it in the private insurance market, that we will see this turned around in the next session of the legislature. otherwise, every day the state of florida loses

in favor of more housing units but they're not in favor in their own backyards i'm here to support those projects because the benefits are accrued by people not located on the block but at the moment i can't afford to live in dog patch. i would like to be there and it's not possible. so for the same reasons that sonya is here i'm here to support more housing in san francisco. there isn't enough of it. and a times addendum i moved here from cities 6 stories is a small number so to say this is a monster of a high building i'm in support of this in the dog patch and hope it is approved thank you. >> thank you. >> hi there i'm chris nicholson i live and work in san francisco. i just want to give a big picture view i've heard the opponents talk about light and air in dog patch i've been to dog patch it doesn't have a lack of light and air. san francisco is not facing an air and light crisis a housing crisis and the more heirs we have to add we looking huge demographic shifts that cost folks in city government their jobs. i work in tech and came here last year will have of people in tech are c

those are choices as to him prez said and the speaker said those are not choices as a principle i saw this happen on a daily basis looking at their children and they couldn't food to take them to the doctor this is a public deity we have to have has to recounseled from coast to cooperative from the northern to southern borders to make sure those issues become law. and how is that going to happen it's the agenda that tom prez has and we have to make sure we have the medical leave act into law and make sure they have paid medical leave if california does it so doesn't the rest of the nation as a californian and a member of congress with my colleagues we're going to move forward and make sure that the work that secretary tom prez has put forward becomes law. thank you (clapping) thank you very much. >> thank you. i'm delighted to introduce congresswoman jackie spear representing 14 district she was named one of the fearless woman in the world (clapping) she's welcome known for her excelling speeches on the house floor for veterans and especially those who comprehensions sexual assault an

those systems failed at gm. today, what i want to know are specific answers to how the culture of secrecy at gm can be changed to encourage reporting of problems, not just structural management changes. i appreciate, ms. barra, the changes you've made at gm so far. but i think the jury is still out on whether we can have success in changing the culture. last week as the chairman mentioned, gm announced the recall of over 500,000 late model chevy camaros, including 2014 model year vehicles, because of ignition switch problems. and monday evening, just a couple days ago, another 3.3 million cars with ignition switch and engine shutoff issues were recalled. including chevy impalas that are currently in production. this means that this year alone, gm has announced 44 recalls affecting more than 20 million vehicles worldwide. ms. barra, this record reinforces the notion that the safety problems with the cobalt and ion were not unique at gm and that the senior executives at the company, including you, should have acte

>> yes, we're working on those. when a -- when a commission would pass something that may not have a funding source to that, what it does is help us prioritize those in the upcoming budget years. >> which one these things do you not have money to do? >> we can more about this in another report, but right now i would probably say the issue of health and commission share sg the piece and the hie is the areas we have to continue to work on and that's apart of our overall it process. >> this higher level point i'm trying to understand is that we never hear at the commission things which aren't or we very rarely hear ideas that aren't super important and effecting a population our citizens that we want to effect positively, but unless you have the whole picture, i want to make sure we're not putting the department in a position where they have to reprioritize things in a certain way because we passed a resolution in just the velocity of the business that we didn't think through, okay, that means we're not going to do x b

in terms of the risks associated with those ports, those are low priority things to me. so my question is, if we don't have metrics to measure and when we look at this in total, and i think you all have done a wonderful job in terms of laying this out, but how do we know? how do we know when to quit spending money that gives us a diminishing return on the port security grant program? >> senator, i'm happy to field that question. improved measurement is absolutely an area where we see a lot of opportunity. >> let me interrupt you there. >> please. >> what's your measurement now? >> in fy-13 we for the first time instituted measures related to sustainment of existing capabilities versus building new ones. we took the gao and mr. caldwell's reports and recommendations quite seriously and are looking very closely on what ports are doing with the funding. we for the first time in the fy-14 application cycle are requesting project level data going in. you probably are aware of the history of the program and the flexibility that had been given at the local level against area ma

those states may go enterly different ways. you might have one american ipped independent one piece. and you might see different things happening. it is a -- if e, you are very partisan on one side or another. this could change things. i i don't know whether a don't really know. >> and actually, i think it's kind of an opportunity there. you can kind of say, you and these pears really work for hem. one great showers. >> i think we do need options, i think. she evaluates risks. at to you think are the what is the number one rush to residents of. prefer not much if you were a naanee we don't have nothing else for you. . i woont to make sure that we department get the opportunity that -- >> well, i think a deprate anal . repairing the red for certain people. the people impow yir today will have their both. . scary for someone to -- actively, people who are impowered in the current regime. and they how much it is. they're lobbying or part of the ard of the the city. ll brock see will because -- actually some of those people i mean,

to the gentleman if i want to put those up on the screen and i'm not saying those photographs were taken from the various streets. when you view those you can see the before and after the stacks are hidden and not appear to come above that and another one they brought from another view yeah. there's the other one you can see the part that's contradicted there and the stacks sit on top of the area that's constructed. i guess my question is there's a suggestion about story poles i'm not saying we have to do that did you find out how far those stacks come up >> so, yeah 14 meeting feet above the roof. >> but it takes up part of the space and that's correct and there's one stack existing that's part of this building it seems to be the same size of something about stacks your creating. >> we're checking the dimensions. >> so the roof is 37 feet the top of the largest act decking could facade is 41 and a half feet so 4 and a half feet above the roof so the antenna need to clear that the top of the penthouse is 44 feet so 7 and a half feet above the roofline and the upper most antenna is 50 fee

and send those to you. it was more than just the rule 115, it was a full, three-page recommendation, and so i would be glad to do that. >> and thanks for your current day recommendations as well. >> thank you very much. >> the next speaker is lorens from the san francisco independent living resource center and she will be followed by jessica layman from the senior disability action. >> is jessy here? >> apparently jessy could not be here. so maybe, if jessica layman could come forward. and thanks to the senior disability action for being here as well. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors thank you so much for holding this hearing. my name is jessica layman at senior disability action and we of course are concerned with the very low employment rates of people with disabilities and we have them regularly coming through the doors and the people with disabilities and seniors and a lot of overlap who are looking for jobs and anything and it is very, very difficult. and this is a civil rights issue as has be

are those cases you want to send to the city attorney? what we're going to do is hone those down and categorize them for you. that's part of the process we should have for you by the end of the year. >> thank you for that. we're going the right direction here. just a question though, do we -- and this is to the director, should we set up and ad hoc committee on this or -- i mean, we kind of have something going on in the background, but it's not official. >> okay. thank you for rose mary to find out how many cases, so open cases is only 79. that's not that many cases on our hand, but you and me know [inaudible]. we don't know how many. that's why we set up the team to answer question and then when they come and then we will put additional staff to [inaudible] check once planning can meet to get [inaudible] approve over-the-counter the timeframe like commissioner walker talking about my timeframe use and what her money should be a good time before [inaudible] because when i know we give to city planning they don't assign to [inaudible]. th

motioned by breed and we can take those without objection. >> mr. clerk, do we have any other business in front of us. >> item 1 and 2 are continued to june 23 and 8-25 is going to the board. >> that concludes our agenda for today. >> thanks, everyone. we are adjourned. from. >> so good morning, everyone so so much for coming out open a beautiful san francisco summer day blessed by the weather and blessed by having you here to celebrate what is a milestone and an critically important project for transportation for san francisco and only for the distant future but the day the central subway opens that will provide serve for san francisco on my way here i was unable to get on the first stops it was crowded did a b x was packed to the gills a that's exactly the capacity this project will bring to the city from again fm

those are transitional programs 5 programs and one hundred and 83 beds. we have contracted with the salvation army and sorts to plowshares and the unit services of homeless people can stay in those beds up to 24 months. our exciting program is secretary was very smart in order to not have homeless you have to prevent it we give money to nonprofit so something to prevent people from being homeless and in san francisco we awarded 1.3 million last year and this year we have a priority one category in which we tied for $3.02 agencies that have applied for that. that's the highlights i'm not going to take up much more time you is have a sheet of the services. there's a call center so we're going to leave cards for you to put in our office it's a 1877 number it is manned everyday and if a vet needs help they'll call the number to the local va and one thing i think is mentioned talking about the vouchers and others coming down the pipeline i think it's exciting for san francisco >> yes. >> until there's no one on the streets that is homeless this is a positive s

layouts late may middle of june time frame. >> those are just dummy columns. >> those are the actual columns these are your basket columns surrounding the entire structure laid on their side so the top piece the park level and the middle structural steel member that connects the various pipe columns is your buff deck level and the high end where the folks are is shown on the, man lifts scissor lifts starts at the ground level and we'll go up to see those and bring up life photos instead of the diagram but they are creating this on the colombia river across the river so we're just about out of this finally the first and second street obviously done and beall street done and fremont street done this month and the final connect or piece to be done in july. and zone 4 mud slab completed this week as i said and the waterproofing protection slab will be going down and jumping ahead to june foundation walls and will be into the lower con course either late may or june 10th they are trying to improve that and we'll actually be prepping for the structural steel arrival and placing slab 14 as

types of resources we don't think those policies are adding any specific how to protect those two different types of resources. we would recommend being important specific stating to promote con forms with the secretary of interior for all projects effecting historic resources. policy also there's no need to have we don't feel to have a separate policy for individuals vs. historic district resources underlines the proposed management approach is different nicole if there's a different treatment the appropriate that is for individual resources that may not that a be separately but it's not clear in the current draft. so policy 2.3 the policy recognizes that not all resources will be identified prior and the properties b will require slaeshgs, however, the statement seems for important for an implementations measure as it speaks to the resource specifically talking about uh our sequa procedures. so we have recommending either moving it to a separate part of the element documents or rewording it so that it's clear that the department needs to reflect on the importance of doing evaluations prio

the chair: all those in favor say eye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. the motion is adopted, and the committee does now rise. the speaker pro tempore: mr. chairman. the chair: madam speaker, the committee of the whole house on the state of the union having had under consideration h.r. 6, directs me to report it has come to no resolution thereon. the speaker pro tempore: the chair of the committee of the whole house on the state of the union reports that the committee has had under consideration h.r. 6 and has come to no resolution thereon. pursuant to house resolution 636 and rule 18, the chair declares the house and the committee of the whole house in the state of the union for further consideration of h.r. 3301. will the gentleman from florida, mr. miller, kindly take the chair. the chair: the house is in the committee of the whole house of the state of the union for further consideration of h.r. 3301 which the clerk will report by title. the clerk: acquired approval for the construction, connection, operation or maintenance of oil or natural gas pipe

we receive about 120 of those a year and we do endeavor to complete those within 60 days. in addition, the commission hears appeals of my decision or the human resources director's decision or the transportation director's decisions. that includes matters and discrimination complaints, again, examination matters, classification. the commission is responsible for overseeing the request for personal services contract where requests to contract out work that could otherwise be performed by zvi employees. ~ city employees. [speaker not understood] elected officials and prevailing wages. and, of course, the commission is also responsible for the administration of the employee relations ordinance and that includes a coordination of unfair labor practice charges. so, our policy objectives and priorities for next fiscal year include standing effort to increase access to utilization of service commission resource he, increasing greater transparencies and efficiencies in our communications, ensuring timely resolution of appeals so merit system matters are addressed fairly, consisten

and how do you enforce those? one way to do it is to set up a special tribunal that assuming you keep the immunity in place, which if you can't get rid of the immunity, this is an alternative and is any award made to the tribunal pursuant to the u.n. fraud claims act or u.n. freedom of information act is to reduce any of those awards from the amounts that have been allocated by congress to the u.n. which i think brett recently wrote something saying the direction assessles are $4 billion a year where i think the -- all u.n. is double that at least. that's another aspect. so i can go on. you can ask me to tell war stories and it's hard to shut him up. but i think that sort of gives a general overview of what the problem is. for me it really is the immunity. and today in the 21st century, there's no reason for the u.n. to -- other international organizations to enjoy an absolute immunity that sort of harkens back to the day of kings and queens. you know, no government today enjoys absolute immunity. the prevailing t

over those funds over what we do with those funds, that's just a western problem. that's across the nation. those are discretionary funds for the most part. they are under increasing stress. they are getting squeezed between entitlement spending and as interest rates return to norms. we need to work to create a plan for when those funds -- when the next federal funding crisis occurs or when those funds come under more pressure. we want to see those funds and we're helping states develop legislation and policies that see those funds and the strings that are attached to them to measure the risks of accepting them, not just the rewards and the benefits, and the risks of potentially losing them and creating plans to be responsible, to do what we do in our every day lives, to budget or to plan for that day when that fun disappears or cut in nink did i way. we maintain the right programs and i'll give you a couple of example in a minute, before i do there's another thing that i want to quickly point out too. we're trying to create a movement in the west and we're trying

i think we really have to be careful of those terms and if we're going to say that all those things are important let's just say they're all important but not get into language that we might end up using to say something we didn't mean or haven't thought-out kaufrl >> commissioner wolfram. >> thanks following up on what commissioner johns says perhaps a implementations then the policy should be something like that city resources the city want to be a model for historic preservation commission or something that states why we make that implementation clearly states as a policy the city will take a lead in demonstrating historic presently. >> going on to objective number 2 please. >> thank you for those comments. >> you guys keep switching the mike's. >> so on to objective two protect and preserve historic resources. again, we think that is currently of current language readers more like an implementation measure than an objective so we are building be that an be objective should speak to the managing historic resources rather than relying on the term protect so the staff is suggesting we

those who still serve.mmitment to liberty, our claim to equality, our claim to freedom, and to the inherent dignity of every human being, that claim is written in the blood on these beaches. it will endure for eternity. normandy, this was democracy's beachhead. our victory in that war decided not just a century, but shaped the security and well-being of all posterity. we worked to turn old adversaries into new allies, we built new prosperity, we stood with the people of this continent for a long struggle until finally, a wall tumbled down and an iron curtain, too. and from south america to southeast asia 70 years of , democratic movement spread. nations that once knew only the blinders of fear begin to taste freedom. none of that would have happened without the men who were willing to lay down their lives for people they had never met and ideals they could not live without. none of it would have happened without the troops president roosevelt called the lifeblood of america, the hope of the world. barely mo

to wait to all those years was a the holiday. how it was presented to the nation is that a new crane a fascist came to power. in flying the flag of the former liberation army during world war ii and the proof set these are fighting so it looks like we're just trying to protect brushup. know the overwhelming majority of russians are liberating ukraine from the fascist threat. >> ladies and gentlemen. we hope you had a good blend janvier extremely pleased to have tony here to finish up on the new conference4>] >> >> so we should pay particular attention. [laughter] now we ask him to go back to tell us about the effect of the ukraine crisis. thank you so much. [applause] thank you so much it is always great to be at brookings with good friends and colleagues. and also as an institution and individuals the administration in futures ministrations and that capital that we do not have a monopoly on. and they appreciate you hosting me very much. and to trace where we are into trays where we are. this is a very active issue there is much

so those are my amendments and i will gladly support the resolution when those amendments are adapted >> supervisor mar do you have language i know that supervisor wiener gave those out. >> i didn't have a change to get those on paper but if you pause the meeting we'll have a recess it will take me 5 minutes. >> why don't we continue the discussion and maybe our staff can bring copies we'll discuss that. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you, mr. president. so i wanted to you appreciate the comments that supervisor avalos and i understand that not every member of the board of supervisors and not every member of the previous board of supervisors sproptd proposition g. everyone has a right to their opinions by the fact is unless my memory served 55 percent of the san franciscans supported prop g and put it into the charter and prop g is the law of the land and governors o governors those impasse in arbitration and one can agree or san diego but 2/3rd's of voters in san francisco passed in 2010 so i don't know see what the purpose is of the lapsing in the resolution that basic is criticizin

those are the things that take time to learn. we will still have a sufficient number of troops to run counterterrorism activities in the area. the thing general dunford was talking about was around 10,000. thousand number he was using. he was more interested in the flexibility. or i spoke to secretary hagel, he said this was the number that general dunford was comfortable with. nato will provide about half of that number. it put us up close to 15,000 once it is all said and done. i think that's will be a number that is sufficient to carry out the mission. i am concerned with telling the world when we are going to pull out. we have problems with this. one of the big things we have been fighting against is the taliban has been marking time. they keep telling people "ok, remember, they are going to be gone and we are going to be here and we will remember those who help them." we have members going there all the time that are checking on things. one of the specific as we have is several of our women members have gone over the last se

most of those are children but none of them. happens to me pena is not generally chosen it's me it is the shasta just hold. your stars till late it's just been wishing you could meet many options and get some good shots but your spot we're not going to get you have shown this i would just to you was a movie of the give up was a spark when i think it's an issue. serving of value one of the news of the year was for mortal mutatis water. of course for your the war through city mayors most of them allah allah. you know some of them. because we study a. musician might be a sure. we could have them with good name you would rather. watch the people you want. to go when the stitcher paid you to come should push and said you should do but do we usual spot where you just stand there with some of that in this spot for no good meter but you would probably just be fifty still enormous amounts but don't most of us today just need to be honest is this even good at those of us that. we would. simply could if you could stick to me. on the progra

it's great to hear about the problems and barriers but at a certain point we're going to have to fix those elevators and the stories i've talked about earlier i have visited our senior residents to bring them groceries because they can't leave their apartment i guess i'm glad to hear about the problems but what about the solution. >> so first of all, i set up this committee to find out the solutions i'm not saying who's fault but let the residents to get in and out of their residence. number one question is to answer our question regarding the loan in a creative way we can a lot going into it but wherever government is trying to give loan there's a lot of red tape. so the soft story program they use in the real program loan and also the private loan and this is more effective compared to the extremes we have for the u m b program because the the program is complicated and the answer to your question we have meeting b with osha you know how difficult people that work with the state every level is different so that's why i try to resolve it. when i get the message from the cal osha you you k

officers learn how to effectively interact with those in mental crisis. clues include learning verbal deescalation phrases to help the individual until we can get to the point we can communicate effectively. we've seen tremendous effect with this team and in the last three-plus years we are very proud we have not harmed a person in crisis that posed only a danger to themselves. we believe implementing laura's law can also help reduce potential crisis and acts of violence in our community, enhance public safety and again get those that are such a degree of mental illness that they can't select these services themselves to a better place. comprehensive individualized treatment plans provided under laura's law ensure those that were gooing untreated receive the necessary care they deserve and need. laura's law in some ways a preventative measure that will help treat the most vulnerable in our community so their untreated severe mental illness never has a chance to escalate into an act of violence against themselves or others. we have to do something. i talk

it's congress' job to make those decisions, not the president's. and while the power of that resolution has been questioned, and some say it has withered over the years, in 1975, when gerald ford wanted to restart the war in vietnam, effectively, that resolution was very fresh in congress' minds and congress had no qualms about telling him no when he said he wanted back into vietnam. so that is how that iconic footage, those iconic images came to be. because over president ford's objections, we did just evacuate as saigon fell. those pictures were taken on april 30th, 1975, and that is the day, the day, that saigon fell. the communists from the north renamed saigon, ho chi minh city. two weeks later, the communists held a victory parade through saigon. and to this day, vietnam is a communist country. and yes, that is how we left it. since then, vietnam went through a series of market-based economic reforms. in the late 1980s, they opened up a stock market in the year 2000. that's the year that president bill clinton visited vietnam in november 2000

those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. the amendment is not agreed. to mr. moran: i ask for a recorded vote. the chair: pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from virginia will be postponed. for what purpose does the gentleman from -- >> i move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. frelinghuysen: and to yield to the gentleman from alabama for purposes of a colloquy. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i rise to engage in a colloquy regarding the nea's combat ship which represents the future small surface combatant for the united states navy this program is in its infancy but so far has cleared many hurdles and is well on its way to becoming an integral part of the fleet. the navy reduced the budget requests from four ships in fiscal year 2015 as they projected last year to three ships. mr. chairman, your bill has further reduced the program to a recommended level of two ships. mr.

avi -- have you changed any of those? veterans have lost their lives, and i don't have any clue, any indication because of something you have known for years. thirty-six different reports. you come here and say we will do better next year. >> yield back, mr. chairman. >> thank you, mr. >> one of the things he talked about was the cancellations and an anxious. in el paso we heard anecdotally of cancellations that are recorded as no-shows', of veteran last week, for example, told me that she had gone to that va in el paso from its of their apartment she thereafter requested a copy of her medical record and found that that cancellation was recorded as a no-show. hits against her record is not heard the va wait time reporting. have you found it evidence of those kinds of practices in your investigations thus far? >> not specifically that. we did find more than 50 percent of the 150 cases that we looked at had at least one no-show or cancel the appointment. and, you know, we found clinics. we found -- we like to ask -- for eac

those two things together get the best outcomes. and when you just file a lawsuit and don't do the work of building the coalition, often you get a lot of ugly backlash. this is happening in westchester county, it's happened in -- [inaudible] we've seen these cases before. and i think you need to do both. >> i hate the disparate impact approach to civil rights enforcement. [laughter] and the reason that i hate it is that it inevitably does two things. first of all, it encourages people to make decisions with an eye on race and ethnicity; that is, it encourages racial discrimination. and secondly, it also encourages people to to get rid of perfectly legitimate selection devices. so i don't think that that is, you know a good approach. i mean, i don't know what you do about a situation like detroit by bring ago lawsuit. what -- bringing a lawsuit. what do we expect courts to do? to start telling people that they have to live in different neighborhood? they may be an attractive outcome for some people, but it's not to me. i think the pe

those who are in custody programs. in our -- overtime slide, thank you -- we're sort of on par, even better than years before, but it increases because of our obligation now for something that the department never had to pay, and that is for what is known as a 15 minute mustard, when there's a shift change, they must get together and this is required and before we didn't have to pay for that and now we do. otherwise our overtime would be significantly under budget but that's having to cover cut and that puts it up a nearly $10.4 million. our staffing summary is next. while it's known that our jail population is declining, that doesn't mean that there's less to do at all especially as i outline for you all the areas that the department impacts. my concern is on part of the vacancies that exists, i want to thank the mayor's budget office and others for the academy class that had he help with your help, support funded last year which just now graduated. our first academy class in five years, we look forward to another one

but i see those as at least three areas that we should continue to have. i agree with that a report does come back to the commission even though first vetted during conference to be sure that outcomes reports are being looked at at least for some period of time. >> i'd like to remind the commission that we are looking at safety throughout the department. of course san francisco general is our first priority right now. >> yeah, thank you. so if there are no further areas that commissioners would like to be sure, thank you commissioner melara. >> just a suggestion that we've had so much wealth of information here today that i would suggest that this be taken at the join conference committee in that periodic report from the joint conference committee come to the full commission. >> yes, we will see that. this remains on the commission calendar and we'll try to do our work during conference to bring you the best answers behavioral health, women's health and sexual health. i want to point out that -- and in that roll i have been looking at this data now for alm

those are just some of the examples we'll presenting throughout the years to you. i'm going to ask to present a larger framework and then our directors will all come up and provide you a little overview of where we're going. >> when we were doing the reorganize, we borrowed from frameworks used nationally. what we did is that this is the framework we used where we became more functional and the idea is for us to be more agile, adaptive and responsive to emerging public health problems and so you can see our -- the areas there under healthy people, healthy places, diseases and disasters. the things i want to call out to you is we have a new office of equity and quality improvement and the other one i want to point out to you is the center for learning and innovation. those are two areas that are innovative and new and you will not find in most health departments. it's going to be these six high priority areas for our whole di viks, but they're cross cutting, but they crossed into the network and into the community. we do 100 things, but we're saying as a division, a

if all those sinners or all those bad people or all those folks on the other side of the divide if they will. no. it says, if my people, if the people called by my name, that means us. we're the ones who have to repent. we have allowed this to happen. and i don't know about you, but i'm done letting it happen. in the country that i love. hear. >> hear hear. >> , so let that verse be our verse. let that repentance begin this weekend. let's humble ourselves. let's usher in by the power of the holy spirit that awakening and restore our land. thank you all very much and god bless you. [applause] >> thank you very much. more in the warehouse. i like that. i haven't heard that one before. little wisdom from brother benny. thank you so much. and thank you, ralph, for inviting me to be back, and thank you all for being here today. i wanted to come with a special message, a message i've been delivering really since a year ago at the value voter summit where i talked about how we as a movement have to identify the fact that, as a movement, we have not been connecting with the people who are hurti

we interviewed those individuals. those individuals were by and large in the warranty area. they had no -- they were looking at something that it meant nothing to them as the two we were able to locate and find. it was not -- they were totally unaware of the issues concerning the switch not deploying any aspect. so the one individual who did know all of the facts and had that information was mr. degorgio. the other engineers, it meant nothing to them. >> but there is an e-mail i'm holding here that discusses implementation of the new -- >> page 102? >> i believe that's right. >> the quote is increased torque forces to be within specifications. and it was sent to five gm employees on june 2, 2006. but we have also obtained another document that was not included in your report, and this document indicates that another sgchlt m contract engineer may have approved the 2006 change. it's a production part approval process report obtained by delphi through gm's global quality tracking system. it is dated june 1, 2006 and it lists gm supplier quality engineer -- a sgchltgm supplier

so those were the two major points. the jam tomorrow really relates to full-blown qe, or some kind of bond-buying program. mr. draghi didn't have much new news on that. he effectively said they are still working on a program. but we know given the european central bank's mandate, deciding which bonds to buy is the real dilemma. so work currently being done. as far as the package is concerned, mr. draghi said this is not it. there is the potential for more to be done. >> we think it's a significant package. are we finished? the answer is no. we aren't finished here. >> reporter: so forut03 the ti being, the markets seem prepared to take the announcement. we got a spike higher in the german exchange, the dax and an initial selloff in the euro. both of those moves will be something that mr. draghi was pleased to see. for "nightly business report," i'm jeff cutmore in frankfurt. >>> and nikola joins us, chief market strategist. welcome. we heard jeff say that the idea here is to get money into the real economy. will it wor

ri what are those priorities and what metrics planning are you using to make those determinations? >> we have a significant, as i g think this committee is aware, i we have a significant tain fac construction requirement both to maintain our facilities, which i believe are roughly on average s 60-years-old. there are land-locked facilities, as a matter of factc in phoenix, we are talking aboue las vegas, but in phoenix, we had to bring down clinics to handle the extra staff. c we have a list of priority, whether in the form of leases, in the form of minor constructions, or frankly major constructions and overhauls or just refurbishing our aging infrastructure and we clearly have an identified need for providers. over the next 30 day, however, we will take a much closer look at our current productivity ande where we find di manned and ourt demand and our inability to meet it. declar captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2008 it is 2% normally but in las vegas it increased to 19%. so when you look at your priorities you include include demograp captioning performed by vit
