rules of the association though the standards of the a.m.a. and the american psychiatric association are as they should be strong unequivocal prohibitions against direct involvement and interrogation but the fact remains that neither of those associations have taken ethical action against members who allegedly or directly involved in the abuse of prisoners in u.s. custody. only one professional association approved if it's doctors assisting interrogations the american psychological association or a.p.a. in two thousand find it followed the recommendations that its task force on psychological ethics and national security or and. so for us the question is not whether psychologists may be involved in these process he's it how psychologists may be involved in these activities in an ethical manner we know from records and accounts of what went on at the task force that there was no never was there a question a discussion about whether it's ethical for psychologists to participate in these interrogations that that was assumed from the very first moment the a.p.a. ha

my name is brittany and the director for the american heart association. i'm here to give our strong support for this initiative. we all know that public health does not exist in a vacuum. we do know that housing displacement, education and job security are all extremely important and tangible in the city of san francisco. when the american berj beverage associations talks about this, we don't need the beverage association manipulating our community and telling them that this is going to bleed into their shopping carts and, you know basically make it completely impossible to live m san francisco. this is a common sense law. this is really no the that radical. it's two $0.02 per ounce and the money is going back in the community that will benefit the revenue. i thank you all for your leadership and hope the board of supervisors sends this on to the ballot with a unanimous vote. we show that you care about this public and you are hitting it head on. >> good afternoon. my name a laura bell and i'm a clinical social workers and i have children. i have helped y

think this is not an overreach but a reasonable measure i believe that big soda and the american beverage association have been marketing with tv and print all over the place that's on overreach that harms young people that's why the generations have tripled in the last thirty to 40 years since coca-colas have bloomed to the big gulp sizes and very large with the high fruk to say corn syrup are the ad itself off to the energy drinks we need to look at the offer reach of the big soda especially to younger and encourage which were in our community. lastly i want to say that is an important measure for the health not only of san francisco but other cities and jurisdictions around the world that are looking at what we do to protect the public health and the future of the children my hope with the coalition we'll pass this measure in november and make history in san francisco 3 will spread to other cities and hold hold big soda accountability so thank you to supervisor wiener and also supervisor avalos and supervisor cohen and supervisor chiu and supervisor campos >> thank you, supervisor wiener. >> in ad

this panel is part of a conference on presidential sites hosted by the american association for state and local history and was held at the clinton presidential center in little rock, arkansas.

some of the opposition from the american beverage association, they have used words like this is government over reach or the nannies state. to me it's all a part of it takes a village to raise a child. we all need to work together to provide healthy options for our children to make it easier for them to make the right choice. we can't be with them as parents with them 24/7. they gives them less access to unhealthy drinks. i want to say that the argument that the nanny state that it is a knee jerk reaction manipulated by the industry many . if you look at the history you will see the policy of common sense policy such as seat belt laws and common sense such as limiting smoking in public places. those policies also vehemently argued against by industry as being government over reach. we can all agree today that they very much make sense, they work and they protect the public health. thank you for your work. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon supervisors. i'm with local 948. we 100 percent endorse this measure. i personally support this measure because both my parents suf

joining me, president of the american immigration lawyers association. leslie, can you explain the significance of that 2008 law? how it changed the way that the u.s. government processes young children coming across the border? >> sure. in 2008 when they passed the trafficking act that you're referring to, it basically provided expanded benefits to children in terms of giving them due process for unaccompanied minors. it helped pave the process for them, make things easier so that -- or actually make it fair. not easier. and, you know, when you look at the expansion, this happened in 2008. when this was done, you didn't see the surge of children coming. you saw them start to come in 2011 when things got even more horrible in where they exist. so to blame it on something that was passed in 2008 now makes no sense. >> and yet it is the case. i think this is a sort of important thing to nail down because i've -- it's felt like a mystery to me the whole time covering this which is people are saying, well, there's this rumor about a permiso. we're seeing the

the case load exceeded that provided by the american bar association and clearly the work. i should note that our attorneys are paid by salary, so they're not paid by the hour and we don't pay any of our staff overtime. our investigators, here we had over 2300 investigation requests. one thing i'm happy to report is that it took us nearly a year to hire three investigators. the mayor's budget office took time to approve our recreation and we had to go through base testing and it took us nine to ten months to reinvestigate it. we're up to staff and so our ratio is 1-5 which is close to what it should be. our magic programs continue. and we have the magic and the hunter's point and in the western addition. our prisoner reentry and clean slate programs which operate throughout the city, assisted over 5,000 people in clearing their records. this is essential to insure that people are able to lead a crime free life, and become productive citizens. tomorrow, or friday will be the quick off of the summer learning program and supervisor breed, you've been instrumental in supporting

. >>> director of federal relations for the american association of state colleges and universities,nk you for joining us. barmak, when we enroll our kids in school, we voluntarily give the districts a lot of data on them. is that information shared? >> increasingly, it is. historically, schools have been the main custodians of incredibly private information . in general they have done a information. it's a little ironic that the secretary was speaking about privacy because it was husband department of education that wrote the federal privacy rules. maybe those are more allowable to share data. so, yes, information is, in fact, reaching out of schools and many schools simply don't know. >> where is the information going? is it anywhere that would be alarming to a parent? >> well, you know, look. i believe education technology holds all kind of promise. i certainly believe people intend to use it for he hadfying purposes. but the challenge here is that the consent of parents is not being factored in. it ought to be alamming because the information is being copied into longitudenal and

police department documents show they planned to place an informant on the board of the arab american association of new york. it was part of a "terrorist enterprise" investigation. >> is there any reason to believe that something here could be a terrorist group or activity? >> if helping kids with their homework and teaching immigrant women english is terrorist activities then i guess so. i don't know, i don't think there is any reason to believe that an organization with good people, trying to do good work would be engaged in any type of activity. >> so this one of the secret documents that was leaked to the associated press. and what it does is it talks about multiple mosques and organizations and people that we know so that are mentioned in here and when i saw first saw it, so it says, it's looking at confidential informant profiles and looking for the right people to infiltrate particular centers or organizations. here we're number two. >> whoa, there you are huh. >> and that's what's so hurtful about this nypd spying program is that our own community mistrust each other. mistrusting law enf

the american association of state highway and transportation officials strongly opposes, so does the u.s. chamber of commerce, the american trucking association, civil engineers, the national stone, sand and gravel association. the fact is, it would result in an immediate 80% cut to our states at a time when we still have 700,000 unemployed construction workers and thousands of businesses who are just waiting, just waiting to rebuild the infrastructure. i hope you will vote no on this radical amendment. thank you. the presiding officer: the question is on the amendment. is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the clerk will call the roll. vote: vote: the presiding officer: on this vote the yeas are 28, the nays are 69. under the previous order requiring 60 votes for the adoption of this amendment, the amendment is not agreed to. there will now be two minutes of debate prior to a vote on the toomey amendment. order in the senate. order in the senate. order. the senator from pennsylvania. mr. toomey: madam president, in 2011, the federal highway administration estimated that
