soon as possible. teachers and paraprofessionals have been waiting for new contracts since last spring. and it's not unusual for city hall to step in and i think maybe mr. lee mentioned that the 2005-2006 negotiations, the mayor and city hall helped us come to resolution and, by the way, that was after the second strike vote. so you may be aware in the uesf constitution and bylaws it takes two strike votes. we're not at that point yet. second strike vote may or may not happen, hopefully not, but in 2006 it did. hundreds and hundreds of uesf members voted to strike and at that point the city became more engaged and we resolved that dispute i think with a fair contract. >> i think i should add that ed harrington, our controller at the time, and mayor newsom were really central in helping with that but i think that time is a good example of how city hall and the school district can work together to resolve things. >> yeah, and thank you for that. so just one other thing about social equity and the situati

as the state department, as well as the defense department. no, there is no change in the strategy. again, the national security council has addressed it. the state department has. we have. so -- >> let me ask -- >> that's all i can tell you. there is no change, and there's no different direction. >> let me ask you this question then. our presumption has been that we would train syria, free syrian army, and that they would, as trainees, then fight isil. there have been many reports that suggest that they're not willing to fight isil, they want to first topple the assad regime. so what confidence do we have that, by training them, they're going to be fighting isil and not assad? >> well, that's the essence of the training and the purpose of the training, and this is also part of the vetting process, a clear understanding of what they would be doing, but let me get to a more basic point. one of the points that i made in my statement as to why moderate syrian opposition would be part of this training effort and i noted that their homes and their

i am pleased people are paying as much attention as they are. i encourage vg to check out planetary.org, where there is fabulous reporting. this is amazing. did you hear about the sounds? >> yes. i saw you were on with lawrence o'donnell. i saw that last night. >> that's right. do you know what's making the sounds? >> no, i don't. >> nobody knows. when we go exploring like this, we're going to make discoveries and going to have an adventure. >> in your mind, in your dreamland, what would be the most important discovery that could come from this? i know your mind is complex, people don't realize you have a wicked sense of humor, i have to brace myself for what's going to come out. >> i would say something about life, about amino acid and dna. apparently amino acids are common in space on these rocks, on objects out there. i say rocks. these remarkable objects in deep space. so this could lead us to know more about this deep question that gets to all of us, where did we come from. how did we all get here. what is going on, what's the deal, man. so

and as noted, tried to implant a system of jim crow as ferocious as the system that operates on the mainland. this leads, among other things to the so-called race war in cuba circa 912. that is to say -- 1912. that is to say thousands of africans are massacred on the island of cuba may/june 1912. and i think part of the story that i tell in this book that i think is something of a contribution, if i may say so, to the historiography is i highlight the role of the u.s. authority in terms of the so-called race war. because they are basically ruling cuba in real sense and so when you have africans massacred in cuba, it seems to me that the blood is on the hands of uncle sam. in any case, a turning point in the history of cuba comes with the russian revolution october 1917 which leads to the rise of of the communist party although that was not its technical name on the island of cuba. interestingly enough, this communist party is led mostly by africans which is something of, shall we say, major concern to the u.s. authorities because they suspected correctly that these africans in havana would w

back to you. >> david, of course a lot more from david as long as they can stay awake.is midnight there and interviewing jack ma tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. eastern time. >> a mesmerizing board behind him. i would keep my eyes on that all day. we're watching the markets here hitting records early in the session. dow industrials, dow transports as well as the s&p 500 hitting records intraday. 90% of the s&p has reported earnings, a large driver today. markets we should remind you coming off the best three-week session since december of 2011. so quite a run for the markets taking a bit of a breather early on, hitting records, and now giving a little bit of that back. currently dow up 20 points, s&p up 5 points. nasdaq up 16 points just a little bit shy of two hours into trade. carl? >> when we come back, entrepreneur and philanthropist peter diamdanis with the latest of the x-prize challenge. both coming up next, ahead of that interview with alibaba's jack ma tomorrow, more on the biggest day in e-commerce. singles day has kicked off in china. one popular browser turns 10 year

we go along and as we get wiser as we go, too.you adjust. you have to adjust. >> and i understand, you know, not trying to -- i guess i am trying to pin you down. would you recommend to the president at some point in time, and i know things change, would it be in our best interests to have a status of forces agreement with iraq and have an enduring presence of some type within iraq? >> well, what i recommend to the president, what general dempsey has recommended and our leades s first protection of our forces. that's it. whether you call it a status of forces agreement or whatever it is, whatever the piece of paper or document. it has to mean something. the privileges and immunity document that we have, the diplomatic note, our commanders, i feel that it's adequate to protect our forces and what we need now. now, into the future, we adjust. we have to adjust. we may want something different. we are looking at things. we will continue to look at them, but right now, what we have now is essential and it's adequate for what we requir

they only add to borrowing in as much as the scottish parliament exercises its power to borrow, but as a consequence of fiscal devolution, if scotland wants to tax more and spend more, that adds to total public spending, and i think the answer to that is part of the new settlement. i don't think that is a problem. it comes back to the scale because the scale of the additional public spending, all paid through four extra scottish -- >> there are limits on how much they can raise through income tax. -- smithould depend on would look at how this is going to work. this is a relatively simple one. again, there will also be limits in political actuality. if the scottish government decided to spend huge amounts of money and raise huge amounts for taxes, that would be damaging to their economy and you would get people thinking about businesses, thinking about relocation and the rest of it, said it would be constraints, but you have the power to raise some of the money that you spend, and if you want to spend more, you can raise more, and that would affect overall matters in the united kingdom.

could come as soon as next week. zain? >> so many issues on the president's plate there immigration, climate change and of course now the beheading the peter kassig, very tragic and sad news. jim acosta, live in brisbane. thank you. we appreciate it. >>> speaking of russia and ukraine, ukraine's president, petro poroshenko has taken the first step towards cutting off all government funds and statuses to pro-russian rebels in eastern ukraine. petro poroshenko issued a decree saturday calling for all state-owned companies and institutions to stop services in donetsk and luhansk within a week. the order comes off rebel leaders from the donetsk region held their new government's first official meeting. the meantime, shelling tens in the east, despite a cease-fire reached in september. phil black joins us live from ukraine. this decree, phil, how much of a setback is it to the rebels in yeern ukraine? >> reporter: well, zain, it is certainly symbolic in the sense that it appoints to a further e deterioration between kiev and th

as far as the coverage gap. >>president david chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> my name is michael murphy, i live and 625 sixth avenue. i would like to address the fcc act now codified in section 322c. first, my qualifications. for about 20 years i worked as a research attorney for the court of appeals initially for judge women -- william newsom and judge wagner. i have written eight law receive articles and the journal and the nyu journal review in business and the business lawyer, a peer review of the american bar association. the critical point i want to make relates to familiar parentheses pl that status should uphold their constitutionality. section 3c would encroach on our constitutional rights. fortunately it lend itself to a common sense interpretation. the right of petition applies not only to the petitions in the common sense but also guarantees access to the courts and administrative agency and protects an individual's right to challenge the misused guide of all as the result. it lies to the part of t

there are a couple of item that we still need to tighten up and as well as you know, the deal that we have on the basic terms, those are general term. but to put them into writing and include them in the lease requires special wording and additional reviews. so, that may be taking some time, so, that's why we're indicating that we are hoping that we'll be back by december 15, but it may take longer because those need to be incorporated into the lease. before the lease is approved it is going to be subject to ceqa review and clearance. particularly, we are expected the demolition of building 38 and 19. there is going to be required clearance for the pcb to be removed from the shipyard and then come back to the port commission once we think that lease is in executable form. at this point i'm going to turn it over to done bar, the general manager for the -- for bae to have some comments. >> thank you, ricky. good afternoon, president katz and commissioners. my name is bill done bar, i'm general manager of bae systems san francisco ship repair. and just want to take a few minutes today to

the nato alliance is as strong as it has ever been. we have reassured our allies with our increased presence in central and eastern europe. we've modernized our alliances in the asia pacific and agreed to improve communications between the u.s. and the chinese militaries. chuck has been critical to all these accomplishments. meanwhile, chuck's ensured that our military is ready for new missions. today, our men and women in uniform are take the fight against isil in iraq and syria and chuck helped build an international coalition to make sure the world is facing this threat together. today, leading the forces against ebola in west africa. as chuck likes to say, america's military is the greatest force for good in the world. finally, in a very difficult budgetary environment, chuck has never lost sight of key priorities. the readiness of our force and the quality of our life of our troops and their families. he's launched new reforms to ensure even as our military is leaner, it remains the strongest in the world. the troops continue to g

as you all know, as california's senior senator, dianne feinstein has built a reputation as an independent voice working with both democrats and republicans. we love to hear that these days to find some common sense solutions to the problems facing california and the nation. since her election to the senate in '92, senator feinstein has worked in a bipartisan way to build a significant record of legislative accomplishments which include helping to strengthen the nation's security both here and abroad, combating crime and violence, battling cancer and protecting natural resources, again, in california and across the country. in the 111th congress, senator feinstein assumed the chairmanship of the senate select committee on intelligence where she oversees the nation's 16 intelligence agencies, and i should point out she was the first female senator to hold that position. it is also my pleasure to introduce the honorable saxby chambliss. in 2008 saxby chambliss was elected to serve a second term in the united states senate. georgia trends magazine, which has consistently named him as one of i

much as we can? what's the balance off? does any of that kind of thing go on inside the government with technologists? >> right. so having worked a lot with the government, i know that they consult technologists greatly with security, with privacy, with compliance issues and how do we engineer software that takes all of that into consideration. i think if we look at the past five years or so or six years or so that you'll see that the nsa was really, really focussed on compliance. i think the results of the reports and the oversight have shown that they've done a really good job with that. when there's been an issue, they've dealt with it. i think someone mentioned the new cpo at nsa. what we'll see different now is not only are we complying with law going to be something that's factored into all of the software that's developed and all of the tools and techniques and procedures but also now, well, just because it complies with law, should we really be doing it? and what's the extra step we're going

hard to tell if there were just as many as the night before. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> understand anger and frustration, hard to make sense of some of the violence. >> last night the second straight night of protests in ferguson but a different picture. national guard apeers to have prevented a repeat monday when protesters burned out buildings and fired hundreds of shots across town. the recent protests were less destructive but officers used some tear gas and pepper spray. >> fewer arrests overnight, one of the developments in ferguson. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez with the latest from ferguson. at least that's a bit of positive news. >> still amid the chaos and voices of protests, still a number of people saying protest, yes, but violence, no. nbc news on the ground said, as things got ugly, some protesters worked with police to identify those troublemakers. as police and national guardsmen in full riot gear met crowds and tried to disperse with tear gas, a protester picked up a can, threw it back into the line of officers. win

as soon as they could. i believe believe the facts it differently. it's been six years since the first recall covering these deadly takata airbags starting at 3940 vehicles that has ballooned to over 7 million vehicles with the exact same vehicle in one state is not even were called in the next state over. i do not understand how crossing a border simply means that vehicle is now safe. i do not also understand why the dealerships that sell these vehicles are not notifying customers. american honda motor companies claim they notified the certified dealership where brought the civic about the recall for the airbag came in february 2010 could i took my car into the dealership for service three times after they supposedly receive the information. the honda dealership never told me about the recall. they never perform the repairs on my vehicle and never warned me about what might happen if my air bags deployed today did nothing could have also learned that honda claims they have sent a recall notice to my house

one is what you have to go through as a black woman, as a film maker to get a project like this made.'ll come to that second. the first thing that gugu referenced earlier is some of the things changed from beginning to end. when a project takes this long to get made -- how many years? >> from full on writing, four years. >> things change over four years. give me some sense of some things that changed from the time you started writing until the time you casted it. i'm just curious what the changes were. >> i think the two biggest changes were one, i mean, there's a lot of personal stuff within this script and, but one thing i wasn't touching on said in terms of the mother daughter dynamic, why don't# you be mor truthful in your story about being adopted and tracking down your birth mother and what my life would have been like if my mother had raised me. i hesitated for a moment. it's such a better way to go, more interesting, more truthful opened the film up organically and obviously brought us the great minnie driver as well. >> she was amazing. >> thats a pektd is n s aspect on. we d

we did before, there are opportunities with the joint investment between bart and muni as well as the transbay terminal, which is looking at not only bringing the cal train into the transbay, but potentially another sort of leg that would point across the bay. so i just wanted to insure that the board and the public that we will be looking at these together in a single system as the director mentioned. as a sing the single network. >> i just want to xhept that it is so great to get the widling down of the 100 projects down to the shorter list and to know the strategic thinking of the bart leadership and the board and i know that with nicholas, soon to join the board and the outgoing director fang that there has been attention to connecting up not only the west side, but it is also going through supervisor breed's district to supervisor farrell's district as well and so option number two of connecting to golden gate park i am glad that is on there for the western, north part of the city and i hope as you prioritize the different projects that that consideration of the lack of really re

but frankly, as soon as mr.ulloch announced the verdict, the officers started taking rocks and batteries. i was in clayton monitoring the press conference at the time along with captain johnson and my senior staff and the senior staff from the highway patrol in st. louis at the time and i told the troops just back off, just back off, we'll try to treat this like some sort of a festival or a baseball game or something. by that time the protesters basically owned florissant road. so we allowed them to linger there. well, the next thing that happened is we started losing glass across the street. and because of that we decided to stage but not bring the tack units forward. then we started getting gunfire from across the street. so based on that we wanted to put the tack trucks in between the businesses and floresant road on the west side. we just thought that would be a good thing, to try to save the businesses. right about this time we started having problems to the south at florissant road and paul avenue or subur

that had been held in check for decades as a result of dictatorship, as a result of war x as a result of foreign intervention. you could arg pucks is as well if not better in certain neighboring countries. but the challenge of trying to build something like that, when the lid has been taken off and you have all of these other trends in the region that i've described is immense. it's a huge challenge. it's a long strubl. tony, i know you're on a tight schedule. you've been candid, inform fif and gracious. we thank you so much for joining us. [ applause ] >> thank you. thank you very much. thank you. >> this weekend on c-span. >> i arrived at my home in los angeles and arrived to seeing the secondary plane hitting the twin tower. live. i was traumatized. that is when i knew this is terrorism. it's note one airplane accident. so i ran to the phone and called many people in e just a minute. i wanted them to comforted me. i heard that the leader was from cairo. the same city i came from. i called around agt people. and they all said the same thing. even though some of them don't know the o

much as you want. it's an interesting point. it is back to this idea of we should not over mothball not -- the causes of these presidents. pfft -- >> because it's not true. and i think what you see in both the johnson presidency in the 60's and the reagan presidency in the 80's is that certain trepidation about, if you give the public too much reality they will extract a political price. and that has famously happened in the johnson presidency in the 1950's. their is a sense that johnson cannot level with the public about the sacrifices that are necessary to fight this war in vietnam. he worries that all of his political support on the left will disappear and he will be vulnerable from the right to people who are saying he is tough on communism, but what i think uc particularly in the earliest moments of the johnson presidency is that the public is capable of a lot more sophistication and understanding than politicians ever give them credit for. in the first hours of lyndon johnson's presidency when he

as e.j. said, there are these three strange students of american politics; himself, norm ornstein and myself. and we have become utterly obsessed with australia, its people, its institutions including compulsory atten dance at the polls -- attendance at the polls which we approve of. [laughter] its policies and its politics. and norm is here as well as e.j. , we've had opportunities to travel down to australia to visit with you there and to meet with you when you're in town. when we recently read of and learned of the passing of goff whitland, we too -- like many australians -- immediately returned to refresh ourselves and our memories about his years, decade as labour leader and his three-year term ended under the most extraordinary circumstances. but the beginning of the new labour party and hawk and keating and other leaders including kim who led the party for a number of years, it's really, it's about time, don't you think, that we finally got our, get our appointment as honorary citizens

an executive order could come as early as next week.et's take a deep dive on this issue beginning on what it would do. it could protect as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants from being deported. while the administration says president obama is still making up his mind, members of congress have taken the idea seriously, some democrats are telling the president to back off. at least for now. earlier i spoke with jeff denim, he is one of only three republicans who support the bill, and he told me he did not support the president taking executive action. >> i think that we need certainly for the country. we should certainly be looking at a long term reform, our system is broken. ms. multigenerational now, so just doing an executive order that will only last through this president, just creates a bigger problem. we need a long term solution. >> you, of course, represent district in california, that state produces more agriculture revenue than any state in the union, and a good reason for that is migrant labor. is that why you are only

as it begins. the lrelease of these former detainees has many wondering does this signal a different relationship between the u.s. and north korea. we just heard mr. richardson discussing that. i'm joined now by the director of the korea pacific program at the university of california, san diego joining us by skype. thank you for joining us mr. haggart. we just heard mr. richardson talk about that this had to be a decision made by kim jong-un and perhaps that this is an effort to start some sort of dialogue with the u.s. what do you make of it? >> well, i am a little bit more cynical view of what's going on here. i think we have to look at what's been happening in new york at the un. if you've been following this story, the un has undertaken an incredible report on north korean human rights activity undertaken by the commission of inquiry. the un general assembly is now convening to vote on a resolution that would refer that report to the un security counsel. a piece of that report states that the

and i think that one of the issues and i wish that supervisor kim was here, is as long as these are around, we will never, ever be able to... (inaudible) because they are not cap able of going to the transbay terminal and a few other points, but the plan is to refurbish them as new. and it is a serious issue because when they were new, they were zero emission's compliant and if we do an engine swap, we can do three things, we can improve the performance and we will be able to reduce pollution by 90 percent and since we are reducing emissions we now basically become qualified to get a quality management and district grants, which is not even being discussed here. so, in closing, i would just say, right now, we are looking at this and we are wasting $9 million altogether and there is at least 3 million coming from san francisco. and it is in one of the attachments in my e-mail it points to a document and you can see that there, and these are a complete analysis of the benefit of reduced emissions and also costs, but the costs go up and the locomotive,, and that is the only down side, thank y

this is not what i, as a lawyer, refer to as a road wreck case. you can't see what's happening out there, you can't really feel it except that now people are starting to understand that this is serious, that it has huge financial consequences not just to the economy of the united states, but to me personally. so what you're doing today is helping educate people about this, and i am very thankful for that. secondly, the support of the chamber is key. i ran into the former dni just last thursday. we had a cybersecurity conference in augusta, georgia, and former director mike mcconnell was there, and we were talking about the bill, and he said, sax, where does the chamber stand? i said, the chamber is absolutely, fully behind us. he said, great. i think your chances just improved significantly. so to all of you, thanks for your willingness to let us have a chance to dialogue with you on this. i want to echo what diane said. number one, you're going to think this is the mutual admiration society, and it is. she and i have had a great working relations

during the wednesday attacks, i walked all around ottawa downtown, you know, as far as i -- as close as i could get along the police lines and so, stuck around most of the day and i did a self-io, a selfie video and i was talking about misguided fear, terrorism versus climate change because climate change is the issue that people, if peopled in the threats as much as the scientific community is starting to, they would realize climate change is the issue that is not going to go away. the extreme weather events that are causing $6 milli,000,000 or billion dollars of damage until calgary, a billion in toronto. this is only going to get more frequent, more extreme. so could you search through your files on climate change and release all of that information sooner later? [applause.] >> you are getting a little taste of what my life has been like for 16 months. you have over here somebody demanding that i released files on one topic and somebody over here demanding on a different topic. we have done some reporting on climate change including spying on climate conferences where kuntz tries

we intended or as we had planned. and so that's the knowledge gap that we have to fill. when is the last survey? if you think of the analogy of the oil and gas fields, that material has been down there for millions of years. when we put co2 in it should remain there for millions of years. narrator: the first requirement for a good potential rock reservoir is porosity. the target rock must have enough tiny spaces between rock grains to absorb the co2. dr. gupta: you can imagine, for example maybe a sponge. and if you put a drop of water on some pieces of rock that water is immediately absorbed. narrator: near the surface porous rocks like these act as aquifers for drinking water. but as you get deeper, this is not the case. layers of porous rock can contain oil, gas or in this case, brine or salty water. dr. gupta: you want to make sure that the co2 that you inject is deeper than any freshwater sources of groundwater. so as you go deeper, that high-salinity water is not useable now or in the foreseeable future for any

as far as traveling later on things are just going to get bit. >> it is really looking like this will be a day that goes downhill, not just with our forecast but also with how wouldn't it be nice if we can say traffic is so good all day today with the day that it is, before thanksgiving, but we can't. it does look like we will start to sees that mixing from rain to snow, beginning to get underway here, relatively soon. you can see that already taking place in the higher terrain of west virginia, eventually some of that colder air will wrap in for us as well. we are finding strictly rain for now, does begin to be more of a snow producing event in southeastern pennsylvania and northern new jersey. here's what we're expecting four to 6 inches, higher totals in the lehigh rally. by the time it is all said and done we have snow with up to a half foot or so. two to 4 inches have rain mixing over to snowfall in the northwestern suburbs outside of philadelphia and more like a slushy 2 inches or so at most around this city itself is and then lesser totals as you head south and east. you get gi

and because, as we go through, a change of platform heights, and as soon as we start getting 50 inch height platforms out there, that means that the balance of our fleet is no longer usable and so it is something that we have to go through a program, if we do settle on a 50 inch platform and how we implement that process and that is very challenging. >> could you tell me what the challenges are. >> the challenge is when you go out and you change the first station so that it has a 50 inch boarding height and if we don't have all of the new vehicles here, to be able to service, and that level, that our existing fleet of vehicles can't service a 50 inth height and so it makes all of the vehicle not be able to function at those heights. >> you are going to be trying to make the changes to the stations while they are in operation and so it is a challenging environment to go ahead and make those changes. >> so i am looking forward to all of you getting together and figuring this out. >> your current trains are at 8 inch, right? >> that is correct. >> and so if you even go at the 24, inch p

as dr. kadlec has suggested, the world is making this up as we go and we have become more comfortable with this. it is a huge problem. the current epidemic which africa struggles with is something that we should have thought about. they do not have a health care structure that can do with a record issues that go on over there from health care perspective. now we're adding to the injury by ebola, major injury to the countries with the ebola outbreak. the first focus needs to be on relative simple thanks to decrease mortality in west africa. they suggest intravenous hydration replacing electrons, managing nazi, fever and superimpose bacteria infections with relatively inexpensive measures that could be part of a bundled package that would dilute the west africa. there is critical need of the dance as i mentioned in the most affected countries the proper training and protective gear need to be provided to the hospital staff take care the patients into the burial staff dealing with the corpses.

why isn't there more research as to whether a small amount of deflation is as harmful as central bankersr to be? >> yeah, well, central bankers love being in the news, so whatever's going on they're out there saving us from the great problem of the day. i think there's a lot of fuzzy thinking about this, why i wrote the op-ed. a fear if we get a little bit of deflation, it will spiral away into something terrible. but if you look, you know, big deflation, yeah, that's a problem. 20, 30% some big catastrophe, that could be a problem and a symptom of other things going on. a little bit of 1%, 2% deflation is fine. the economy works well with 1% or 2% deflation. it did in late 19th century. there were problems here and there but it didn't spiral out of control. it didn't cause all sorts of big problems. a little bit of deflation and your money keeps its value, as millen friedman called that the optimum quantity of money, and maybe we should just welcome it. >> with the final 30 seconds, i tried to form my own theories. these are very smart people that work at central banks, from a book lear

>> as i said and as the president has made clear he thinks this is something we need to deal with ona bipartisan basis. any to do with the solvency of social security budgets are in the process of doing that want to look at key barriers, for example, elderly women living alone have disproportionate hype arbitrates and that something one could address in the context of social security reform. things like the minimum benefit has become essentially outdated. that's another type of thing you could lock in the context of social security would form. a as he said many times that conversation should recognize the important things about social security i described, should address solvency but should try to strengthen and improve the system we have today. >> questions? none other? there was one. >> hi. nice seeing you again, jason. the other broad area of agreement in the survey was increasing the fica tax i think for the program to increase its solvency in the long-term. i'm guessing you don't want to announce that today. if you do, feel free. but do you think there's any bipartisan appetite

and as best as you could, commissioner walker? >> i would like this to be continued to continue the conversation as the things get developed. >> as we did with the other items that was going through the process. >> so, why don't we agree on that. i mean that i have no issue on that and we are going to have to see how planning put together their team of how they are going to address all of these concerns. >> and soon as we have insight to that, right back here for presentation, to kind of deal with all of the what if questions that you have. >> so continue at the call of the chair? >> if there is no objection? >> thank you. >> is there any public comment on this item? >> okay. >> hello i am breck grad stone and a lawyer at hansen and brit gid in san francisco and i am just speaking for myself and i have written and published articles about the legislation and the pros and cons and insurance issues and ada and the like and i am going to take the opportunity to come back at the continued hearing and i would be happy to talk to you ab

so, you know, i just wanted to encourage the board to keep this legislation as strong as possible. and i mean, that at a certain point, you know, you can talk to all of the different stake holders involved and try to, but the important thing is, while we are, while haggling over the details happens, and those are more and more families. that have to leave san francisco. because they can't have a predictable schedule or a full time hours. thank you. >> and thank you, for ace's involvement in the coalition as well. next speaker? >> good morning, my name is lara fish and i am the community organizer here at local two and we represent over 12,000 hotel and restaurant workers in sanmateo, and san francisco counties and i am here to express our support for the retail worker bill of rights, and our solidary, with the retail workers who are forced to work, involuntariary part time hours and forced into erratic schedules and so we know that without this legislation, the workers and many retail outlet cans not participate in their communities or their family and they can't make the doctor's

we're taking this opportunity as well to replace and rebilled as as i considerable amount of city infrastructure and pedestrian lighting all the traffic signals will be new and we're reconfiguring the entire street to make it not only more transit friendly but more pedestrian friendly and to make it a better streetscape over all. the vehicles that will be operating on the van ness brt are taken from the from the 47 and 49 49 lines essentially those two bus lines will continue to run their regular routes in mixed route and will enter the exclusive bus lanes provided by this project and from 40-foot motorcoaches to 60-foot motorcoaches to increase the over all carrying capacity of the system. >> when we go into operation, the expectation is to run the the 47 and 49 lines with 7 and a half minute head ways so typical wait time between somewhere 3 and a half and 4 minutes not counting the golden gate transit buses which will continue to run at their current rates. the system is being designed so that if there is a demand, we can increase or decrease the head ways to 6 minutes each. the primary parki

we near the end of the transaction i'm here as well as at representative if the transbay joint powers authority to answer questions thank you. >> thank you do we have speaker cards. >> i have no speaker cards okay and do we have questions or comments concerns board members of the commission? commissioner mondejar >> yes. i'd like to hear from the tjpa representatives for their comments. >> obviously you need the financing. >> i'm deborah miller the egyptian and one of the principles in norwalk this transaction i have scott the elective affairs with the tjpa as well as bryant jen kings from the tjpa i want to first start off by thanking the staff for their assistance in negotiating this transaction we've struck a balance for the tjpa to move forward with the financing in the interim basis as needed in order to allow construction to move forward as planned while protecting the agencies interests in affordable housing and the fire chief development of parcel f and block 4. >> i like to hear the comments of the financial advisor. >> hi, i'm as deborah mentioned the financial advisor to th

as hard as the science is we should never assume the delivery part, i would argue as hard as the science is delivery will be harder and we need to be prepared for that with the aids vaccine and aids prevention options already. the science brings us excitement and delivery brings us more challenges. on the vaccine side we are articulating the specific things we should be expecting in the foreseeable future. >> this is a very unusual time. there is no new money on anything. make the argument, you can make all the arguments you want, the budgets are flat, it likely under these circumstances will stay fat. that doesn't mean you should continue to advocate for important things. vaccine, hiv, important, you could argue global funds in some respects, it is as important. we have a scientific challenge with a vaccine that is still in the discovery phase as opposed to the implementation phase. what i would say not to avoid your question is that we always can use more money. i'm always arguing for more money. i get in trouble sometimes, i am always arguing for more money. it will increase the pace

can irs come in and say congress wanted to cover as many people as possible.yes the language and law says 100 to 400% of poverty. it never contemplated states would refuse to expand medicaid. never contemplated the nifb case and therefore we as an administrative agency as a regulatory body can, in fact, expand those subsidies. no one thought that could be possible. yet under the principle of looking at the overall intent, that's where you go. why would that not be valid under the circumstances even though the language of the statute limits the statue from 100 to 400% of poverty. so this is problematic. further there's no provision in the statute that suggests the irs has a specific gap filling role here. in order for there to be a gap filling role, it's not enough to look at the overall statute, you have to look at the particular issue the supreme court said or the particular context. in the particular context or issue, there's nothing that suggests that congress contemplated a gap filling role for the irs under the circumstances. so then the question is what

as important as that of president. they evolved upon the farmer. we should vote for no man that we should not be willing to elect president. we are safe. on the ticket, the most persuasive explanation has been offered by who argued that lincoln picked johnson to give legit mas tow his policy of wartime and reconstruction and the union occupied south, particularly tennessee, arkansas and louisiana. lincoln was eager for the states to be welcomed back to the union under loyal leadership. he had promulgated in september of 1863. this 10% laid out the depths for the confederate states into the union. they took an oath and restoration of the property rights slaves accepted. they had voted in 1860 and elect delegates and representatives to congress rejoin the union. lincoln's aim was to offer generous terms to give up the rebel yon back into the union. the 10% plan proved controversial. radical republicans in the northern congress argued that it set the bar for admission to the union too low and insisted that 50% of the elec

because it thousand puts china at least as far as visas are concerned the same level as brazil and some trading partners. >> we go from the lowest category, that of about one year, to now the most preferred. this has been worked on for a lot of years. it's a very big deal for the united states and china, particularly when you you look at the glue that binds the relationship, which the people to people aspect. so this will facilitate the movement of people back and forth. with respect to suntudents, the don't have to reup, business folks don't have to get reupped. so this will facilitate things in a very significant way and kudos to those that made it happen. so if we apply this type of problem solving around economics and security, we might have a good-bye later bilateral relati. >> testimony make if easier for chinese to come here to two business here, study here. so can we say this represents a significant improvement in u.s./china relations? >> well, this will be seen as one step in a helpful direction. but you have to remember the relation is so complicated, we'll also be taking ste

kind of way, the government cannot get its act together, so let's tax ex-pats as much as much as recantng the amount that you contacts and making it more onerous. >> things have got to be pretty bad, like the long reach of august sam must be a tough experience of people are givingd to go so far as up american citizenship. >> the u.s. is the only country that double taxes its citizens. canada does not tax you for working here, right? >> it is not a worldwide tax or a worldwide tax or tax on income. >> in canada. >> you are at their, you pay it there. here you are in it everywhere and pay it here. on that note. >> "market makers" will be back in a moment. coming up? >> some suggestions for the ceo, meg whitman. ♪ . . >> live from bloomberg headquarters in new york, this is "market makers," with erik schatzker and stephanie ruhle. >>? how is meg whitman doing? she announced a split at hp. we see what they need to do next. >> from overheated to cooling down, housing prices rise in the slowest pace in two years. where real estate is headed next. >> is the perfect thing to wear with your smar

they -- they've taken as long as five weeks. a week ago sunday, brazil tabulates the votes in five hours. in california, which believes itself to be a more advanced state takes five weeks. in any case, it appears that republicans have won more than the 234. they won it in 2012, more than the 242, they won in 2010. and almost certainly more than the 246, they won in 1946. you have to go back to the 1928 cycle to find a time when republicans did better in house elections. norm was covering that for cbs radio. and that's -- that's there. it's, you know, part of this is baked into the cake by demographics. you know, in 2016, 2012, mitt romney who many of you will remember carried 226 house districts, carried a majority of the house districts. he lost the electoral college, carried that. why is that? there are marginal effects in favor of republicans on the districting lines and house seats in this census cycle. but the primary reason is demographic. democratic voters, as i've been writing for the last couple of years, particularly h
