however, given all the risk factors in this program that have been discussed, given the limitation on the investment being 7.5% yield as i understand it and given the questions about the time element and timeline of returns, it all seems highly risky and unknown and we'll find out the negative impacts as well as the housing market goes under or the bubble burst so to speak. until more of these questions happen, more discussion . at this point i don't think they are prepared to support it. thank you for the discussion and we'll see where it goes. >> thank you, mr. herb ert weiner? >> public speaker: i have to confess that i'm ignorant to all of this. it's hard to conceive of it. i'm going to mention my concerns. i was concerned there there was no advance document. it's completely about this issue in the packet we received. why wasn't someone from the mayor's office of housing here to advocate their point? i think that would have helped greatly and how does this investment compare against others and is this investment going to protect against down turns. the housing market is the very c

the all-clear was given at about 10:00. now, as far as the person who report hearing shots fired, the chief lanier says they will not release the name to protect privacy, but can confirm this is not a hoax and the woman did exactly what she was supposed to do. it's not clear if she was here during the 2013 mass shooting when a lone gunman opened fire in building 197, killing 12 people. but the scene is clearly reminiscent of that. chief lanier said today this turned out to be a great exercise. >> it appears all the things that we tried to correct and make go better from the last incident went very, very well, a smooth, well-coordinated response here, and very happy that this turns out to be a great exercise for us to see if we fixed what we wanted to fix and nobody is hurt and no evidence of any shots fired. >> reporter: i can tell you as far as what that employee heard or thought she may have heard, that's still not clear, but there is quite a bit of consuction around here. police won't confirm if that's what she heard, bu

back to the pent gone, given that the fbi made it very clear, that there's no reason to sort of raise the threat -- threshold, and this was a sole shooter, is it up to individuals army and navy and recruitment centers to be on the look out? is there any sort of guidance that is given out. >> yeah, so a few weeks ago the pent gone, the commandner charge of all bases in the united states raised the overall threat level to what is called threat condition bravo, and basically looked around and said with the kind of threat we are facing these days even though they had no specific information, people just need to up their game. so all military is on a heighten state of alert, and that's the new normal now. that's the case here at the pentagon and around the country. so it is up to individual base commanders to decide how that will be implemented but it colludes things like bases that are secured full i.d. checks making sure that they go by the book for all the procedures sometimes it slows down access to sort of these facilities. but again this recruiting station is not someplace that has a

this piece was actually given to julia. this was -- this is a bronze urn on a teak wood table given to her by the cama, japan. the little vase on the table was given to the grants by the emperor of japan. and back here on the mantle is probably one of the most personal pieces that julia probably liked the best. the frame, the leaves in here, she actually framed it. the leaves were given to her by general grant on their tour. it was leaves that he picked up from the holy city. she kept, had it framed, and wrote the whole story on there. julia probably had the time of her life on this world tour. she devotes almost a third of her memoirs talking about it. she developed friendships with queen victoria and a very good friendship with the emperor of japan. they actually ended up staying in japan longer than they had expected because they developed such a nice, close relationship with him. after president grant passed away, julia was living in new york, and the emperor of japan actually came to visit julia while she was there. th

they did not lack god-given gifts. they did not lack a desire to live a life of dignity or purpose or meaning. and yet, we have tangled their lives up in these webs of dependence and instead of encouraging them to move forward, we discourage them from doing so. the harder you work, the more you strive, the less you get from the government in a way that makes it really risky for you to say, let me go for that 40 hour a week job. the truth is, if you are a single mom, you're going to earn less making $55,000 year than if you make $20,000 a year and depend on the government. what kind of incentive is that? we are sending people all the wrong way. i talked about the fact that i started in a small business. turbo cam started in a garage just like hewlett-packard did. my husband started in a family body shop. that is how most people in this nation start. it is the small businesses, the family-owned businesses, the new businesses that create opportunity for people. those family businesses create two thirds of the new jobs and

most importantly, they didn't contain the original chapter 61 given to 25 barons to be chosen by the runnymede rebels to enforce the provisions of the charter against the king and his officials. known as a security clause. these powers acknowledged the indignation of the pope. some of the other chapters which king john had promised to put right particular grievances were dropped because they were deemed specific to the political situation in 1215. other chapters were disguised in -- described in the 1216 charter as important, yet doubtful. isn't that a clever phrase? they were "to be deferred until we have a fuller counsel, when -- then we will most fully, indeed as well as other matters that have to be amended, do what is for the common good and the peace in the state of ourselves and our kingdom." and among these, were the chapters dealing with the levying of aid and scootage, including my favorite chapter 14 about summoning the common council. but, of qwest, the principle of no taxation without consent, came back in other ways. it was because of the exclusion that the famous chapt

given the problems of the u.s. what about the defense needs? reapportion defense spending in takeout and time is. right now entitlements are 71 percent of federal spending. if we continue down that path we will have no money to spend on anything else. by the way remember when debt service is charged as a record low interest rates. of interest rates go up it will get really interesting. that is why we put out a detailed plan of one plane to a trillion dollars over the next 10 years to reapportion the spending that we have now. we cannot spend any more we have now we cannot afford to we have to reapportion. i believe to spend more national defense and national intelligence also the national institutes of health and national science foundation to partner with private sector's share bring getting - - cutting edge development rather medicine or weaponry to continue to do that. that is what america eddies to invest in but we have an entitlement situation as a measure of control. >> to questions on cybersecurity. what is the role of the federal govern

congress and there's no indication any time soon that thra that will happen given the republican majority and a significant number of democrats who really feel that lifting the embargo without cuba actually improving its human rights records and improving the conditions of political prisoners. that situation has to change. also a multi-party democratic electoral process which has been noted in particular. so those are points that right off the bat and secretary kerry acknowledged asful said that the congress understands those rather, the administration understands those obstacles nonetheless president obama has called for lifting of the embargo in any event. what's interesting is that while kerry did not volunteer specific points of difference between the two countries in these negotiations the foreign minister as you heard was very specific because he talked about guantanamo. the treaty under which for more than a century the be cuban government has had to allow the presence of an american military base on its soil. compensation for damages which cuba contends were suffered as a result o

well, they have given up on it. they have given up on cell phones.st of all anything commodities. that's the real pain in the market. i think we forget that during the great shale boom in our country a huge number of oil and gas companies became public. and they have become toxic to all who touch them. you know what they're like? portuguese men of war. they look like little guys but they'll paralyze you if you aren't careful. rarely have i seen this kind of declines, it is relentless. we just presume losses now. we also presume that oil will take out on the $43 low. crude isn't coal but it acts again. which brings me back to f.a.n.g. when you have a four letter acronym that can represent only the stocks that are working in the market after five straight declines, that says be careful. here's the bottom line. thin markets are bad markets. and this is the thinnest market in ages. let's get past this fed meeting to see if that's the chief ailment, see if china rash -- crashes again tonight and f.a.n.g. alone can't stave off the bear no matter how sharp

it was harder given the nature of the electorate. and success doing the opposite their congressional leaders, but about nationalizing around obama and stopping obama. there is some evidence in this poll that for some groups, beginning to line up the congressional vote in the presidential vote. if you look at 21, one of the things reflected in the vote which had a strong presidential margin for hillary over two candidates who tested, and all had a stronger democratic vote. that was where you see the margin between the vote for congress and president. pretty small but you are beginning to see not only a very strong vote for hillary, but also a strong congressional vote. it is not generic. in each district, we asked to the congressional incumbent's name and generic. we have shown a shift. there is some evidence here, and hillary is attacking the congress, unlike obama, where he was much more making the case for his own presidency and the direction of it, she is very much what the republicans are doing on education, spending, as they pro

at them and given how they look at us, given the complicated nature of the issue in itself, this was bound to be a difficult negotiation. one can always question how one can negotiate this, and someone once said that anyone who is away from the table always thinks they are a better negotiator than those who are at the table, so i have no doubt about the difficulty of negotiating this. there are certainly times where i preferred our posture to be one that made clear that we didn't need this deal as much as the iranians did and that the diplomacy would have cost them much more than us, what we have done with everything is just the way that i would have preferred to do it. this is definitely still going to be a very hard negotiation and i have no doubts about the difficulty of this. nick? nick: i agree, this started during the bush administration. we turned to the negotiations and then turned to sanctions. i sense that unity between the bush and obama administrations with obama strengthening the sanctions regime. then he got to negotiations over the last year and a half and these were e

but 80 among the millions that are given this drug don't die. so my point is what the fda is saying, the general anesthesia effect is only going to happen when you have a central nervous drug, central nervous system drug. >> the fda has said no such thing. >> they put it in that section. >> they described in that section the potential effects and they said three things matter when you're looking at the effects, how much of the drug you're giving the rate of the drug you giving and and whether it's given with another drug. their expert said the fda tested -- >> let me give you a second example. the melvin study says this is how it happened. it gave this drug in doses of .02 to .06. and what it show was at .06 dose there was less effect than at .02. and he said this suggests that there is a ceiling effect to this drug and that it is left potent as you go in higher doses. now you quoted for saying -- and you took out the eclipse. there may be a ceiling -- you quote it by saying that the melvin study for the position that studies on humans have foun

they have given up a lot of things. i think the other part we have to understand is there clearly is cheering in the streets and iran. we are going to have to understand their domestic politics. they have to understand our domestic politics. this is going to be a very long and important discussion that involves not only us our congress but the international players in it the united nations, the iranians you already talked about the reaction in the region. this is one of the more complicated foreign policy issues i have seen. >> the idea the international community or the u.s. could ratchet up sanctions and brought them to their knees more we could have gotten a better deal. >> if they could have gotten a better deal they would have. we had some of the toughest negotiators, ever. secretary kerry really -- by the way, the presence of the secretary of energy there was a very important decision. he's a physicist and is able to get his head around what is allowed and not allowed. we have gotten a good deal. is it as i said e

perhaps given the amount of revenue the cruise ships generate for the city and tax base, maybe we can look into having a little more help on those increased cost now for sfpd on that side of things and looking at perhaps more parking control officer rather than police officers my guess that is more expensive per day. those are [inaudible] >> police officers are 10 b so they are not dispatched by the police department, they are called up throathe overtime program >> so maybe there is a way we can look into changing some of the numbers >> yeah, we are trying that. it is interesting flux with what else may be going on in the sate where parking patrol officererize dispatched. if there are events at the bal or else where it is harder to come to the parking patrol officers and it is worth the expense to have some coverage. it is a fine line and both departments are short staffed so we continue to explore it. did you lose that? >> many can you look at commissioner [inaudible] something happened to her mic. >> no buzzing, i think maybe that fixed it. it seems as i said regardless of if we use

>> given what we were demanding of the iraqis, they weren't meeting our demands. i'm not sure that meant we had no option to stay. >> i've spoken many times about the lack of an audit. the only agency in the federal government that we do an audit is the pentagon and the marines have made an effort, i will say, they made more of an effort than any other branch, what would be your commitment, especially for us to know about our contractors, how much money we spent, how much contract forces that we have doing the job that i believe maybe our military and definitely our national guard could be supporting in that effort that we are not doing today. >> senator we can't be effective or efficient with the taxpayer's dollars, if we don't have an effective audit. as you alluded to, we worked out pretty hard in the marine corps. i worked as both, an assistant commandant. we worked internally to get the resources directly under the cognizance of the marine corps with some database challenges outside. i can assure you, if confirmed, you will have my commitment to press hard in

given this is a huge task?ennis: even though this became a bilateral negotiation, any negotiation with the islamic republic given the revolutionary ideology of the supreme leader, it in the dynamic of the country, given how we look at them and given how they look at us, given the complicated nature of the issue in itself, this was bound to be a difficult the gassy nation. one can always question how one can negotiate this and anyone who is away from the table always think they are a better negotiator than those who are at the table, so i have no doubt about the difficulty of negotiating this. there are certainly times were i preferred our posture to be one that made clear that we didn't need this deal as much as the iranians did and that the diplomacy would have cost them much more than us, what we had done everything in just the way that i would have preferred to do it. this is definitely still going to be a very hard negotiation and i have no doubts about the difficulty of this. nick? nick: i agree, this star
