a family was visiting us from utah. they were not staying in san francisco, they were staying across the bay. they were walking across the west side of jefferson street. the family has three children and the youngest boy was attracted to a statute that was placed in the doorway in the sidewalk of one of the vendors there on jefferson street and he climbed it and the weight of the body caused it to topple over on top of him. i think the statue weighs about 300 pounds. his sister tried to prevent the accident, but unfortunately she wasn't able to prevent it. the passers buy immediately called 9-1-1 and we got a group of officers dispatched out of central station. one of the first responders was officer john [inaudible] and came to the scene immediately and did a heroic effort in obtaining the ability for the paramedics to arrive at the scene, calm down the passers buy and as you can imagine these kind of events cause a lot of spectators. keeping the scene calm is really important. the little boy was dispatched to general

us a strong supporter of israel. mr. smith. mr. smith: thank you very much. i thank my good friend from utah. i thank him for his service to our country and for bringing us together this evening. i rise today to call on the president of the united states to give israel the robust and vigorous support it deserves. since the latest round of prounvoked rocket barrages were launched on july 6 by hamas, israeli citizens have lived under a relentless rocket attack, mortar fire, even attack from hamas drone aircraft in a foiled sea raid. israel has lived under a media attack, a calculated campaign to isolate israel for defending itself. major articles in international newspapers around the world grossly -- take a grossly anti-israeli stance. make no mistake, mr. speaker, a major purpose of hamas' rocket ttacks is to provoke counterattacks to have civilian deaths and launch a media campaign against israel. hamas is guilty of sacrificing innocent lives and using women and children as human shields in a brutally cynical attempt to manipulate world opinion and isolate israel. the facts on the ground of h

us from new york, he is the author of "neptune." and joining us this afternoon to discuss this, ed from ashland, massachusetts. thanks for waiting. go ahead. >> caller: hi. my dad 4r57landed on utah beach. he wasn't even a citizen of this country. he was a member of the 90th infantry, 359th regiment, a company. and he fought all the way through france and into germany as 35r9 of patton's third army. the thing that's always disturbed me is i know so much of the invasion was i think almost won or lost on omaha beach, but i never hear enough about what actually happened and the men in the units that were on utah beach. >> yeah, that's great. thanks, ed. yeah, omaha beach gets most of the headlines. it's the most dramatic story, you're absolutely right, and deservedly so. but utah beach was an interesting story in and of itself. first of all, the problem -- one of the problems that all of the allies beaches had was that their was an eastward current, about three knots, 3.5 knots that was strongest off utah beach. it was a current that ran from the ocean along the beach front pushing them almost up channel. and as the landing craft once they were oriented three miles off the beach hav

us on this issue in the months ahead. thank you for holding the hearing. look forward to the testimony of the witnesses. yield back my time. >> still have a minute left if the gentleman from utah wanted to use it. >> i might just point out that moving physically and conditioning the body is not anywhere near dangerous as subjecting one's self to brain injuri injuries. >> interesting, but the issue is we want kids to go out and play. we want them to join youth leagues. >> and we want sports. but we want it make it as safe as possible. >> absolutely.tit make it as sa as possible. >> absolutely.it make it as safe as possible. >> absolutely.t make it as safe as possible. >> absolutely.oit make it as sae as possible. >> absolutely.t make it as safe as possible. >> absolutely. make it as safe as possible. >> absolutely. and this is one of those where jan and i both agreed was necessary. so this has been a bipartisan effort. so with that, let's move on to our witness panel. and i'm going to introduce the entire panel now and then we'll start with mr. daly. so we are blessed to have mr. william daley i chlt iii. next to him, david ogrean. and then we have mr. jeff miller, player healt

use as well. i salute representative bishop's efforts to pull together a bipartisan group from utah, colorado, new mexico and wyoming to work together on that successful modification to the endangered species act. what we have before us today is not an example of that same bipartisan spirit and open process of work that can build upon rather than take a step back from protecting species that are an important part of our ecosystem. this bill in the current form would not only waste taxpayer dollars and federal government agency time by creating additional red tape and bureaucracy but it is also a waste of our limited remaining time in session. here we are, mr. speaker, with a border crisis, crisises breaking out across the middle east and yet we are debating a particular change to the endangered species act which regardless of its merits is simply not one of the top two issues, five issues, 10 issues, even top 100 issues that i heard from my constituents over the last year. people wonder why this legislative body is as unpopular as we are with an approval rating of 12%. one need look no further tha

from utah. mr. lee: mr. president, the most extraordinary feature of the bill before us today is the incongruity between the bill's title and its content. the title, "the protect women's health from corporate interference act," is clear and straightforward. it suggests the bill is aimed at the important and worthy goal of protecting women's health. but the text of the bill plainly demonstrates that the bill's true objective is to circumscribe america's religious freedoms, religious liberties of individual americans within the narrow confines of the democratic party's partisan agenda. and the whims of politicians and bureaucrats. while maintaining the appearance of preserving all current legal protections of religious freedom in america today, this proposal quietly adds to them a subtle yet deeply problematic and inappropriate qualification. the federal government will not prohibit the free exercise of religion until the federal government decides that it wants to do so. under this bill, your religious liberties stop at the doorstep of the democratic national committee. and so i rise today in opposition to th

us from the south. so here's a look at that big, big dome of high pressure over utah that continues to expand.d that we're looking at some extra moisture that will be pumped up into the bay area. not going to trigger any thunderstorms. we don't have the triggering mechanism. but you will notice across much of the state we have some of the moisture. the mountains in los angeles could see some showers or a thunderstorm. and also that creates the risk of high fire danger inoaddition, with 85-degree sunshine in los angeles. 106 in fresno. and just a little bit of warming here, monterey. look at sacramento. 103. and out by chico 105. a warm day today in the south bay. we will being looking at temperatures in san jose in the upper 80s. not much change tomorrow except for the partly cloudy skies. and then some cooling as we go through the rest of the work week. still numbers very summer like right on into the end of the week. 84 today in fremont. look for 75 in oakland. 71 richmond with 80 in vallejo. mid-to upper 90s in our east bay valleys. livermore 97. 88 santa rosa with 99 in clear lake. so day

from california, washington, utah across the west they are dealing with bad wild fires and the weather isn't helping. rebecca stephenson is joining ush a look at what they are up against. >> meteorologist: right now it's definitely the drought conditions in parts of the south, southwest and showers and thunderstorms moving up from a shift in winds, the monsoon season bringing up thunderstorms in to the four corners and the thunder storages are producing strong, gusty winds in the very areas that are fighting fires from northern california all the way over in nevada and in to utah as well. currently wind gusts are up to 20 to 25 miles an hour in these spots. otherwise, the temperatures are really what they are fighting. you can see on our dew point map this will tell you how much moisture is in the air approximately. see how dry it is for billings and boise. upper 20s to low 30s, higher where we have the moisture coming in from the monsoon shift. but higher yet in the central portion of the states, where that mon sewnal moisture not immaterial pathing you so much with that -- impacting you so much as the gulf of mexico moisture. meet
