>> overall, what one of the staffing are the staffing model allowed us to do to be able to be able to look at their areas where they arm the most short in staff and for us to fill the areas first. we are targeting every dollar we have in salaries and expense from appropriations to be able to use that for staffing levels. ideally the model says we should have more folks than what we have now. we have a law of work that's being done. i don't know that we will ever have the funding to get back to levels we were in staffing eight or 10 years ago. we will be as efficient with those staff as we can't. we are right now staffed across our three agencies about 90% of what our feeling is about what the dollars are that we have for each agency. we are working hard to get that closer to the 100%. we are working to staff up. we certainly have burdened those folks with several activities. producers to sign documents and save some miles coming in and save some time at the counter, as well. >> so what is that staff ceiling number? >> it is about, i can get those numbers exactly, but it is about 10,00

to work together and to be able to ingest in systems that exist now and systems that are able to exist in the future. so, working well now, i think it will continue to work well, but we do have to watch it. it's not guaranteed that everything is going to be able to come together if we don't partner and have the conversations. not force everyone to do things in a certain way, just make sure people know for it to be able to ingest here, i need this out of it, i need this level of understanding of your geolocation, i need this level of understanding of your resolution that will help us out. >> so i'm going to use our commercial spoke that we stood up about two years ago as transition of the track came over. that really, i will say, transitioned how we were thinking within the nro quite a bit. changed while before we did things more in our as minunt ar research and development arm, lo that looked liat how we could bring things in. really looked at how do we use commercial to offset what i need to do with national tech means. we've done -- they now have done an initial set of different cont

well actually we haven't been able to get directly in touch with many of our sources and their beach and. our correspondent has been on the ground in kitchener and was then able to speak to many of them but largely in the beginning we were we had to rely on journalists who had left the region and again were able to get connected and were able to tell us what they were seeing and it's not a pretty picture as you outlined earlier in your program re are seeing journalists facing restrictions not just in their movements they're being blocked from shooting videos or photos by security forces at times but they're not even able to do the very basics of their reporting which is gathering in areas and filing stories just the basics of what they're having and months difficulty doing and your organization you verged indian authorities to seize any type of harassment or intimidation against journalists i'm trying to do their work in kashmir as there been in the response. we have not yet received a response we've reached out several times to the indian government and we have not gotten a formal r

to be able to do what his dream is.ut when a boy or girl is encouraged to go after their dream but doesn't have the discipline to do the play and we heard the music he doesn't fulfill his dream and when they do not fulfill their dream, they become disappointed in themselves, ashamed of themselves. were you disappointed do you consider yourself a liberal? punic mostly liberal. and because i feel part of what i want to become a part of what i thought i was part of to be liberal with caring and compassionate wanting to be sure people were included. i never wanted liberalism to stand for we want freedom for women i want them to have a choice whether or not to have children but the second they do, they've made a free choice for their children to be put first. you don't have to do that in life now that you have birth control but if you do that you choose to give up the choice of making your personal freedom more important than your children's healthy life by estimate is a trillion dollars per year at the cost. think about the

they were able to help me get on medication. they were able to help me get therapy, to get to the root of the problem, what was going on because i had a lot of stuff going on and after doing that, i had a lot of anger issues, depression, suicidal thoughts. i had to do anger management here twice and i finally got it right and i started doing other programs. glide was out there. sage was out there. it is not out there anymore. i went to the women's re-entry center. i didn't feel comfortable at first because they walk you over there. i've also been incars rated out here in san francisco for drug possession and other things of that nature due to my drug use. and so i just slowly said i'm going to build myself up and started doing things for women against rape and violence. i got an award from the d.a. i like the write. i started writing here. i found out that i'm a pretty good poet and i do -- i do poems here every year for the black history month. they embrace me here. i've been coming here since 2012 getting support and getting h

is able to as a result of being victorious in the war is able to acquire several protector its in puerto guam and especially for in case the philippines where the presence of smoking opium is deemed as a problem for now having just acquired in new area of the world to govern. as a result we start to see the intersections now of race and substances start to enter the political discussion. in becomes especially important as we just talked about the pure foods and drugs act because that limits now access -- legal access to opium-based products. right? as we have seen in the kemp rather period what happens when we cut off legal access to particular substances is we usually see a black market emerge where people have to navigate to access a substitute for the substance that they just lost,right? spo there is replacing biever that takes place. and what ended up taking place in the case of opium is those individuals that no longer had access to opium based products through a legal system now start to frequent the opium dens in the chinese communities, right? and as a result of that we start to

so it made sense to be able to use the purchases wherever it could make sense to be able to offer that through other outlets, nope flee creahopefull additional customers and provide direct payments to those that we were not able to provide purchases. >> the gentleman's time has expired. >> thank you, mr mr. undersecretary. >> thank the gentleman. the chair will now recognize the gentleman from georgia, mr. allen. >> thank you, mr. chairman and undersecretary, thank you for being here today. we've already heard a lot about the situation in georgia with the disaster and crops being in the direct path of the hurricane and the losses from infrastructure and communities just devastated. it took a long time but we now have a disaster relief package. through this process i continue to hear from my constituents not only the need for immediate disaster assistance but also the concerns for fixing the problems when signing up for the previous whip program. what has fsa done to ensure that the new whip plus program is being implemented effectively and efficiently throughout all the local fsa offic

which kind of distracts them from getting too emotionally invested in whether they're going to be able to benefit themselves in terms of the therapy and so that's that's all working out quite nicely but there are so many other irrational reasons especially in the west why people don't get involved in this they'll say you know that it's because their wife doesn't want them to or it's because they think their shareholders are going to fail that they're. putting money into science fiction and that price of that company will go down or you know the the the they'll think that for example. philanthropy doesn't work you know crazy reasons like that but this is gradually changing over time i will say however that in russia when i come to russia i never have this problem whenever i speak whenever i come to russia i love it because everyone's really sensible about it they really want. who actually see this happen yeah and i bet they trust you because you look like dostoyevsky so. they probably see you and they're like oh he's trustable. well some people say i look like rasputin for it doesn't ne

be able to protect the people well.protect the companies that had favor within the infrastructure. that's where that private collusion comes into play with the deep state. that's what makes this so unusual with president trump is that as an unexpected president didn't have the normal wealthy donors behind him. he did not have to worry about being obedient and having favor and doing special favors for these private groups. and normally that collusion goes on and trump just has lit a fire storm just an incredible disconnect between what's been in the past and what is today. >> is he being successful in your view? >> i think when i take a look at president trump's policy and what he's implemented in his deregulation it's been incredible. it's been huge. i see it with businesses throughout the united states that they been able to expand. they been able to build more jobs, increase wages. like never before. the deregulation has been trump's number one accomplishment. many would say it's a supreme court and that's very close.

to be able to allow information. right now we have producers that are able to certify their acres at farm service agency and have that information automatically transfer into their krcrop insurance and vice versa. it's not where it needs to be and we look at the overall acreage. right now that's paper driven at the downer. to put that in a better electronic form would make it easier process for the producers at the counter, but also potentially decrease the number of contacts the producer needs to be able to make because we have the information at fsa and it can automatically go to our crop insurance agent. so we're making small steps. in the meantime, we're trying to get our programs out and so we are looking to be able to make some bigger steps in the future. >> okay. quickly, last question has to do with the wildlife hurricane ind ind indemnity programs. we're hearing the pivots, age-- and any thoughts on those. >> those flooded within the disaster program. so that signup started last week as well. and so, we have

debate on these areas back in the mid 2000 and the result was basically i was convincing i was able to demonstrate that actually the only reason why my colleagues had been skeptical was because they didn't really understand what i would say and now this decade we're in a very different position in fact it's so good people are reinventing the concept and pretending it's a new one and actually getting you know they're not completely mainstream papers being written use of the official or the touchstone of the field as a kind of description of what the field is supposed to be doing and identically what i said a decade earlier so yes that for him to figure out what has been completely factual there are very very few people now who would say that this is unfair and if it so you've been saying that one of the major problems your research is facing is money why is that i mean don't reach people want to live forever don't we all want to cure disease. unfortunately the way to persuade someone that they ought to support this financially does not only confess of getting scientific legitimacy ye

we need to be able to make use of all of this big data that's coming down, and we need to be able to do it in machines, not with humans. we need to move our humans off of being con top of every pixel that comes down and rather, only those things that need a human eye on it. and that's a major shift for all of us, and that is something that we really, really do need our industrial partners to help us with. i think the allied partnerships are still very well done and maintained. and then, i think, within the ic. i see us working better with both of our functional managers than i've seen in the past. and a lot of that is driven by what's happening in the commercial markets. >> all right. this is where i deploy my role in bringing balance to the force here. >> everything you just heard, it was all good, it was. it was all about intel from space. everything-- every component and every piece of what you heard here on that, has a counterpart in intel force space. how do we understand what's going on in space? how do we harness partnerships with industry and with allies to get better space s

we might be able to get out there.ui’ get out there on thursday and then ourfamily and fans might not be able tojoin ourfamily and fans might not be able to join us until ourfamily and fans might not be able tojoin us until a sunday ourfamily and fans might not be able to join us until a sunday so we have booked our wedding with thomas cook as well so we don't know if our wedding is going to be able to go ahead. you know, it is all very worrying. has the company been in touch with you or have you heard anything directly? no. so, i have e—mailed the thomas cook wedding concierge in the thomas cook wedding concierge in the uk, we have not heard anything back from them. and i have also e—mailed the inn resort wedding coordinator and again, i have not heard anything back from them as of yet. jack, this must be incredibly worrying. you are due to get married a week tomorrow? yes. did you take out any kind of insurance? yes. did you take out any kind of insurance ? we yes. did you take out any kind of insurance? we have got

working for and we need to be able to do it. well.there was an inspiration to go back home to do things different to do things without political and to do things for the well being of individuals the future of the country where you did that you set up and a project which essentially brought international dancers to mexico they would perform a teaching workshops to try to inspire young mexican children but i know that the funding the government funding has now been withdrawn and the projects had to finish is there a sense do you think that the arts culture it's not taken seriously enough or respected enough i think it goes through cycles and that's what i'm trying to break i would like for this to continue on in cycles because then you cannot plan for the future and you cannot see the benefit of the arts in society if you don't give them time to grow. and a lot of a lot of times in a country like mexico arts and culture can be interpreted so many different ways and to eat every government means a different thing it can mean popular cal

and then being able to orchestrate that across the federal landscape. so, what are our priorities going forward? i mentioned the operational organization, the data consistency efforts to ensure from a through d that we have good data flows and the data is good and timely. we are currently in 19 and all of these things on this slide will carry over into 20 and beyond. we want to help fill any remaining gaps for the agencies as far as their assets are concerned and their identity and access management is concerned. we want to help agencies get full understand iing of all the privilege users so we're still finishing out those efforts this year, we began efforts across all of the cfo act agencies, cabinet-level agencies to discover what their perimeters look like, also to get a better understanding of what they have out in the cloud, so we know who the service providers are that they're working with, what the different environments look like, whether they be infrastructure, platform or software. also down on the lower row we're working to understand what th

able to answer that i think, i just don't know the answer. that depends on what the process will be. it's important to note -- i know it cannot last hearing -- standard operating procedure. that describes the mechanics of how to process the case. it isn't a guide to the use of discretion. >> will uscis impose any limits or caps on the number of deferred action cases the need be granted from the open cases? >> i don't know the answer to that question. >> the september 2 announcement stated as uscis the production caseload is reduced, the employees that decide such cases will be more available to address other types of legal immigration cases. the media reports indicates uscis receives only about a thousand medical deferred action request each year. there's about 19,000 employees and contractors that handle hundreds of thousands requesting this each year. so, are these 1,000 requests such a large burden that they ty justified in being deferred action for people with serious life and death medical conditions entirely and risking their lives? >>

an employee brought his therapy dog to work after 9/11 and he was able to see how his dog was able to relieve passenger's jitter. when we first launched the program back in 2013, our main goal was to destress our passengers however what we quickly found is that our animals were helping us find a way to connect with our pang. passengers. we find there are a lot of people traveling through the airport who are missing their pets and who are on their road a lot and can't have pets and we have come in contact with a lot of people recently who have lost pet. >> i love the wag brigade. >> one of my favorite parts is walking into the terminals and seeing everybody look up from their device, today everybody is interacting on their cell phone or laptop and we can walk into the terminal with a dog or a pig and people start to interact with each other again and it's on a different level. more of an emotional level. >> i just got off an 11.5 hour flight and nice to have this distraction in the middle of it. >> we look for wag brigade handlers who are comfortable in stressful situations. >> i like

i think it is important for people with disabilities, as well as able-bodied, to be able to see and to different sports, and to appreciate trying different things. >> people can come and check out this chairs and use them. but then also friday evening, from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., it will be wheelchair basketball we will make sure it is available, and that way people can no that people will be coming to play at the same time. >> we offer a wide variety of adaptive and inclusion programming, but this is the first time we have had our own equipment. [♪] >> hello, everybody. i am london breed, mayor of the city and county of san francisco , and i'm really excited to join you here today, but i tell you that no one is more excited than the parents of the kids who will be returning to school on monday. and today is an opportunity to us to really get the word out to people all over san francisco that we have thousands of kids who are returning to school on monday. we will see kids walking, we will see them by king, we will see them on buses and yes, some of them will get dropped off by par

and we've been also able to put together the first national catastrophe policy. that was crucial so that we can have a better policy framework for land, and to be able to differentiate the uses of land in favor of the most effective activities. we actually had great support from the united states and usaid i see your former ambassador whitaker who participated actively in the policy, and thank you for being here, ambassador. and we went to -- i found that was brutalized for many years by paramilitaries and guerrilla members. and we had the first massive land titling program have performed in colombia in a municipality. not only we granted the titles but we made the formalization available, but we also made the multipurpose so we can use the land for the better needs of the people. so all those things are taking place in colombia. and i can say that peace with legality is based on two very important principles. achieving a success story out of the reincorporation process, and be strong, hard, and bring to justice those who want to go back to criminality. but we ha

life and being able to. show yourself on a stage. not only. physically or artistically but also. with integrity and in order to do that i had to be able to to accept that there was a part of me in that situation happened that situation nice press and with me when i'm on a stage regardless of the role sometimes some roles don't need that sort of heavy stuff but it does 'd give my person and my artistic person a sense of weight because i understand the consequences now making choices in life and i understood that very quickly. you've lived essentially health your life away from mexico you have seen a very proud passionate person about your country when you look at what it's going through now with the violence the corruption the drug gangs the. total trumps infamous how does that make you feel about your country some speak quite tough it's a it's a conflicting feeling because they're realities about mexico no matter how. many turns out to. we cannot ignore really there are real issues in my country that need to be addressed for a very long time now it's been very violent has been ve

it's being able to make room to do dance choreography. for me it's important not to tell her she's wrong and she should go get a comparable job in her area which is service work where we have most work opportunities in the formal sector. it's working at retail. she didn't want to do that and she had an opportunity to do that and left it because she found this more manageable. so, where do we go from here and that is for the rest of the conversation. there is a chapter on that in the book that i'd want to tee up the pressing concerns particularly when i'm talking with labor organizers about what do we have to contend with because the downside of the world of contract labor and independent worker environment is that there is no center of gravity, no anchor for the collective organizing and bargaining that has been the linchpin to advancing workers rights but also things like wages. so i will just put out there now if anybody's wondering if the market is going to solve the wage situation for contract workers, we need to remind ourselves the

elected and were able to tell us what they were seeing and it's not a pretty picture as you outlined earlier in your program we are seeing journalists facing restrictions not just in their will meant they're being blocked from shooting videos or photos by security forces at times but they're not even able to do the very basics of their reporting which is gathering eras and filing stories just the basics of having immense difficulty to you and your organization you verged indian authorities to seize any type of harassment or intimidation against journalists i'm trying to do their work in kashmir and has there been a response. we have not yet received a response we've reached out several times to the indian government and we have not gotten a formal response. and in this report we heard that officials are saying that by shutting down communications. they helped create a more peaceful situation in kashmir i mean what do you make of that well we're talking about a region of 70000000 people that have been cut off from the rest of the world or more than what's going on by weeks now and tha

that you're able to connect with us.l for your efforts in helping your fellow neighbors. we'll check back in with you. thank you. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. flonase. red lobster's endless shrimp is back for just $15.99. get all the shrimp you want, any way you want 'em. like new sriracha-honey shrimp, savory grilled teriyaki shrimp, classic shrimp scampi and more! red lobster's endless shrimp is $15.99. hurry in. they give us excellent customer otservice, every time.e. our 18 year old was in an accident. usaa took care of her car rental, and getting her car towed. all i had to take care of was making sure that my daughter was ok. if i met another veteran, and they were with another insurance company, i would tell them, you need to join usaa because they have better rates, and better service. we're the gomez family... we're the rivera family... we're the kirby family, and we are usaa

that's why they've been able to survive in this area surrounded by people.he's not now, because he lives in griffith park, going after people's chihuahuas and pet cats or kind of gotten used to outdoor lighting. hes retaining his behavior as far as eating deer, but he's somehow, and we don't know how he's doing this,d he's g enough prey and he's able to avoid people even though there's so much more activity in his habitat than other mountain lion habitat. p-22 has gone through a lot of misadventures. because he's a celebrity, he's beenble to kind of survive a lot of these rcumstances. one of those incidences was himc getting stuck under a house and wildlife officers shting him with beanbag rounds and tennis ball guns. he kept his cool to the point where he waited for those peop to tire themselves out before he left, and he without anybody seeing him. and tha's him being able to kind of use those natural skills of being elusive to keep his distance and stay safe. even the most adaptable specs out here, arguably the coyote or the raccoon,ave trouble in this la

we see how great the impact is when we are able to make change. also, how many people are left behind because of this broken system. one of the first things we have to address is the failed war on drugs. it is causing so much of this overcrowding in prisons. is costing us as taxpayers on the federal and local level. mayors are dealing with the nuts and bolts issues on the ground every day. he said his number one issue was the need for criminal justice reform. to end federal marijuana wrote prohibition. they are seeing their county jails filled up and so much money going toward local prosecutors and all that is required to fuel this broken system. we have to in the failed war on drugs. i have introduced the only bipartisan legislation in congress that would and the federal marijuana prohibition. this would have a great impact systemcriminal justice was also helping to deal with the opiod crisis. have legalized some form of marijuana, whether it be met is a small -- medicinal or recreational, we see a reduction of opioid addiction and deaths. that w

firearms from being able to do asso.it was actually one of the good things that came out of this terrible tragedy at a time when division and partisanship were much more common than working together we actually were able to overcome that partisan divide and division and the past this common-law solution to a real problem, which i'm convinced will save lives in the future. this is the kind of thing our constituents expect us to do and what we need to do more of. it's been two years since the shooting and sutherland springs and unfortunately that was not the last mass violence episode experienced by the state of texas. on august 3 of this year a gunman stormed the el paso walmart killing 22 people and wounding two dozen others. less than a month later at august 31 a man went on a shooting rampage in midland and odessa killing seven people and wounding 25. i visited each of these cities in the days following the shootings to pay my respects to those who had lost loved ones and visit those who were still recovering in hospit

no one has been able to go on it. we encourage you to come to the site, and see, this waterfront will really be a terrific portion of the dogpatch neighborhood. our affordable housing program is something we are also very proud of. getting to 30% affordable housing with out public subsidies is not an easy thing. we are excited to do that with two commercial covers of our community. we are excited to announce a new program today, a partnership of homeless prenatal program, to provide 36 units of deeply affordable housing to prenatal clients. it serves homeless families, and parents, and we will provide housing to their candidates that are receiving job training assistance or seeking higher education so they can be housed unsecured on our site. besides that, will make almost a quarter million dollar of infrastructure investments, bringing a power station and turning it into a part of our city. miles and miles of sidewalks, streets, none of us will ever say to allow the public to have access to this property. beyond that

we should be able to move our own data and we should be able to delete our own data. i want to make sure there's competition in this world. that not a few companies are controlling at all. there's a long basis of ideas. one of the main items we are doing is making sure this country is able to defend itself. we've watched in the obama administration the destruction of our military. you've watched since we've been in to rebuild our military. to make sure our planes can fly and our men and women are well-trained and safe. we will continue to do that as well. when america leads, the world is safer. i believe in. leadership. when anyone in the world stands for freedom, we stand with them. that includes in hong kong. for the same time in the 1980's when we start with the ship are -- shipyard workers in poland. those are a few contrasts of what i see happening in congress today. i don't see legislation being passed. i don't see problems being solved. we have a surprise billing problem. individuals go to a hospital that is in their network, have a procedure to find out that d

it was gratifying for me to be able to tell this story. so many people had never heard about this. >> the book is entitled after i ke. michael owen, thank you very much for joining us. >> my pleasure. you can watch archival founds on public affairs in their entirety on our weekly series, reel america. >> continuing our look at lansing, we visit the michigan history museum to learn about the origins of this estate, from its indigenous peoples to early manufacturing to becoming the car capital of the world. tobi: we are at the michigan history museum here in downtown lansing. we are part of state government, so our museum tells the story of michigan, all of michigan,

i need to be able to introduce my people. social media ads, billboards, a number of different ways we are letting people know who i am, and we will hopefully go, and try to get more information about what my campaign is all about. >> whether it's right or not, people tend to characterize people, candidates, as like, healthcare candidates. people tend to associate you with putting an end to the war type of candidate. is that accurate? >> i think it's important to recognize the direct connection or the fact that you can't separate our foreign policy from domestic policy. this is something else no one else is pointing out, but the reality is, as we focused on the need for healthcare reform on the need to invest in our environment, invest in our economy, all of these things cost money, and so as long as our country continues this failed foreign policies of wasting trillions of dollars on wars that do not serve the interests of the united states, or national security, and on this arms race, and new cold war, we are not able to use

democrats were able to hold the same candidates, able to kennett -- to campaign for 17 months. that candidate had all the odds in advantages towards them. we had to come from behind. we had dan bishop who has been representing the area and the statehouse, come from behind. not only did he win, he improved by more than 400%. the president made a considerable difference in his race coming in, when you watch the turnout, the movement in numbers, a week away to what they ended up on election day. you watched counties in which the democrat nominee last time actually carried but lost, this time. we improved by two percentage points. if you simply add two percentage points across, that is 13 more seats with only six more to go to win a majority. the difference between being in the minority and majority is roughly 116,000 votes overall. i think it is really foretelling of what's happening. let's look at what's happening inside congress itself. we have a speaker at a press conference today that refuses to answer questions of what's happening to her chairman and judicial committee becaus

the main thing is being able to grow our own food. if we can come up with funding, i don't know what can be done, it would help with mental health as well. not being able to provide for your children causes depression, anxiety and all of the above. i know as a mom i am going through those things i can only imagine those facing immigration and poverty and if we can get out and grow our own food that can cut some of the disparities, you know, having the opportunity to do for yourself. you can change that to help someone else. it is a giving back situation. i work for a nonprofit garden. i know how been official it can be. that is in the city of richmond. if it can come to the city of san francisco in oakland, that would be a blessing. it is hard. it is very challenging to just get by. on top of the represent and everything else. yes, please, figure out something to be done for our moms because it is hard. thank you. >> next speaker. >> good morning. i am thompson. we are organizations for the visitation rally. we conduct focus groups wi

how are you able to survive? can you describe some of the po positi position. >> my husband had to put my son on a roof. a guy slept on the fridge. it was not good conditions at all so -- but we got out. the next day we went some where else to sleep and everybody shared the food and water that they had. that's all. we made it. >> reporter: can you tell me about the people there, what are some of the conditions they are in right now? >> it is deteriorating very fast. mentally and emotionally and a lot of people that lost their limbs. there was a guy that tried to save his mom but he lost his arms. another guy losts his son. and a lot of people are missing. until rescue team can clean up and remove buildings off of persons. until the water subsides. >> do you think the government is doing enough? >> nothing can land. >> tell me about your son? how are the two of them? >>. 15. >> do you think you can bring him here? >> can you join us. >> it is okay if you don't want to talk. >> a relative here hugging each other. s
