it will be to where it will be hauled out or wherever. there is a way to -- especially at the site where the distribution center will be at hunters point. i wonder if that makes sense. >> i think it is the will of the commission. we can add those potential to be reviewed. noting that the time frame is short, it could be all right. i am not so sure about the issue being done now. there may not be issues that you want to explore that might take longer than three weeks. what we would get back is a fairly cursory were -- look at that issue. we could get some information about if anyone has ever tried it, is if the revenue source, that kind of thing? >> it might be good to look at the airport staff as well. i expect it could be cursory. without having to start from scratch, understanding something much deeper and much more brought on that issue. supervisor mirkarimi: this is probably a fitting time to update the conversation. since we put the contract on hold, my office has been conducting meetings. we instigate a supplemental program for an a

to be here. come on up here and join us because you have done so much work on this. your leadership, working with the board. come on up. [applause] , on, gavin. don't tell me you have nothing to say. >> on behalf of the state of california, let me thank mayor lee for his leadership and support of this cut. truly, i have nothing to say except it is great to be in the back. during the mayor's speak so passionately about this. it was a point of real concern for me. it was important to all of us that we had the right leadership in room 200 and make sure we had a mayor that was committed to this, not just interested in making sure this happens. we were not joking when we said a couple of weeks ago that the real work is ahead of us, not behind us, and we are going to need that kind of leadership to fulfil the promises we made, and we made a lot of promises. a lot of them have been reported. candidly, a lot of them have not been. we need to make sure this is done on time and to the level of expectation

yes, i will be glad to participate. >> we will also be looking, and this is back on metrics, to be able to compare benefits and costs, local jobs, safety, being that we do not have water in the streets and a dangerous situation versus what are the capital costs of the project, and i may be repeating and repeating again -- light cycle costs. what is this going to cost over the long haul -- life cycle costs. what is this going to cost over the long haul? obviously, we went to maximize the benefits and minimize the overall cost. to we want to -- we want to maximize the benefits and minimize the overall cost. we wrapped up a workshop with you, and we have one of our process engineers, and we were lucky to get someone who has been really acting as a project manager on this effort, and those two, with the help of our maintenance liaison -- oh, i thought he was in sacramento. they have conducted interviews to be able to obtain information from stakeholders, and the puc, we are really focused so much on the day-to-day -- we have made efforts to reach out within the puc, external affairs plannin

be acceptable? commissioner moore: it just has to be a car space which works. that's -- and 127 does work with opening a smaller car and side doors. it's really right sizing the project. that's the challenge here. and what that means, don't know. but i would say to send it back and right size the project. president olague: you want to make a motion to continue for the end of june? commissioner moore: yes, not to wait until it's submitted. president olague: you want to make a motion to continue until -- what date were you thinking? really the end of june is what we're looking at. maybe 90 days or would you be ok with -- don't know. commissioner moore: i would say it takes easily, some complicated in here, it would take four months to do this. this is not an easy project. president olague: so we're looking at july. >> july 14th or july 21. >> 14th. president olague: july 14th. is there a second? >> second. president olague: commissioner moore, those were sort of some of your instructions. commissioner

i think that would be great. some of the ideas that members of the public might have, there are things that are being piloted that could be going on at the same time for that to be continued at the standard consideration. >> yes, we will be taking all of those things into consideration. this is something that we are aware of once these things are designed the change orders and those sorts of things. we are better -- we are open to the better plans. there is a separation in these particular projects. this might be an issue. putting in two types, this has to end up going someplace. if it does not go to the treatment plant, does it go all the way down into the bay? >> we are open. we will be looking at the suggestions. >> anything else? is there a motion to approve? >> i think we have public comment. >> yes, let me get a motion. >> this a pipe as i mentioned a few moments ago has predicated the design for the western portion of chavez. a has some lid components. the cause of the major flooding and valencia is becaus

it will be state of the art. here, the design, literary art studios, with the mezzanine in an attic, will be for the students as well. this is a rendering depicting that workspace. you can see, again, ground- floor lobby, mezzanine lobby connected with the grand staircase, a catering kitchen adjacent to -- this would be a depiction of a mixed media event where you have projections, dancing, a basic gathering space for the public. the black box theatre has two personalities. in the daytime,, located centrally surrounded by classrooms, but allows breakouts for the classrooms when the seats are retracted. you have a jason audio and visual recordings of the performances where they will be practicing during the daytime, and then in the evening, seating extended. you would have a the black box theatre with the above projector room and recording adjacent. this is a depiction of the critique runes in the attic space, where you are nestled in and amongst the trestles, with skylights above, creating an intimate atmosphere

we would not be looking at treatment, controls, we would be making sure that the structure would be stabilized said that it could survive after an earthquake. we would be doing seismic improvements but not necessarily completing the lines and the replacing of the force mains that run from the west side on station. at north point facility, the 10- year rate increase, we would just be exclusively doing seismic upgrades. the full list of improvements would be $7,000,000,000.- 589932685 dollars. $7 billion and $8 billion . we're not able to complete the outfall in the 10-year and -- or 9%. that is because they are because -- that is because they're outside of the 10-year area and outside of the funding. >> before you moved from the slide, it is it correct to say that the different options that get laid out there are basically three protestations as opposed -- basically different priorities as opposed to taking a different approach to the problem. can we come up with a more clever way of doing this that will only cost 6 billion? the other is that while we only have 6 billion, we will only do these

being done over there. in some cases, it is about not having as many school groups go to that park area as they used to, to very large areas, like where there is a bridge, and when it was dry in the summer, they used to drive across is, and now that it will be wet, they cannot do it, so now, they have to build a bridge in alameda, so this would give them $2 million to pay for things. the second thing is that they do not want to have half of their staff working at the headquarters with the traffic and everything, so it will be giving them space in the courtyard, and we will be putting aside $50,000 towards a trailer -- so it will be giving elsewhere. the third is that we have been in a month-to-month lease with the park district -- it will be giving them space elsewhere. the fourth is that they do not have a possible water system -- potable water system. it is hodgepodge. there is not a potable water area, and part of this is that we will provide them with a potable water source, and they will withdraw their

it would be great to be able to get other departments as partners to move this forward. overall, it will help our efficiency and also help move the department along. if the commission can be of assistance in making sure this moves along, i think we are all committed to that. i do not need to speak for my fellow commissioners. >> there is a specific prohibition of commissioners and and the other city employee getting in touch with the vendor. commissioner walker: i am not talking about the bidding process. i am talking about working with other departments. >> we are hand in hand with other departments. they are rescheduling to fit with our schedule. we have had a turnaround time of one hour to two hours. this is a high priority for everybody. everybody is as anxious to get this working as a commission. commissioner murphy: commissioner lee. commissioner lee: i am glad we are talking to other departments. i am hoping it goes smoothly. it is good to hear that everyone else is on board, but two years out seems a long time. technology moves very fast. apple turns out an ipad

i think you have to be an optimist to be working on this issue, on this job, but i am with prof. hang in that we are scared with the flip side is. right now we are in the good state. right now nothing is written on paper. i do not know what is going to be on the gutierrez bill but it will not be the only one out there. right now we are talking about all the things that we agree on. we are going to try to focus on those things to see if we can move at first. the point that professor hing made previously about having to admit to a conviction, that is not something that we have signed off on, not something that we have signed off on with immigration committee. you have to have a bit of wisdom. i have not been around as long as anyone else, but we have seen some pretty horrible things happen when we thought we ever going to do pretty well. i think both of these perspectives should be weighed equally. what we can do at this point is be grateful for our congressional representatives in the bay area but really understand that the bay area is different from the rest of the country, espec

we would not be kind of be able to slip into what's being called the successor agency and allow t.i. to continue under the rules of redevelopment. we would have to change things. in given the fact that we may not know if this is going to pass or we don't know yet, there's just a lot of uncertainty about the future of redevelopment. it's just not a tenable situation for t.i. to continue under a redevelopment tax increment financing law. so the reason that we've asked to kind of continue today's regularly scheduled hearing where we're going to talk about the various plans, is we want to come back to you as soon as possible, and we anticipate the april 17th hearing, to kind of talk to you about a new financing model for t.i. and that being infrastructure financing districts which you heard about in the last couple months. it's a viable alternative for t.i. it works for t.i. it's the same type of t.i. model we have for tax increment in that you use future property tax increments to fund public improvement. and we don't anticipate any of the land use or kind of a built environment proposa

you may be sorry to be here. i am sorry you have to be here. but it is always nice to see both of you. >> welcome to both of you. it is good to see you again. we do not want to make a habit of doing this, i am sure. here we go. >> we want to do our regular appropriations bill for 2012. >> i think that will be -- it would be very well come when you do that, normal. congratulations on your new job. you're working with chairman rogers on this and such a fourth white way. chairman rogers, it has been a question over the last few days about this $105 billion of obamacare sitting out there. is that in 2011? would that be covered in any way under this measure? >> those are authorizations. in order to get at them, we cannot do this on appropriations. unless or until the authorizing committee paves the way for us. those are authorizations. not subject to the appropriations committee. >> so that $100 million is in 2011? i was led to believe they were over a series of years. that we are not addressing. >> the $105 billion? as i understand it, in the obama

there may be others.'m happy to provide details on programs that benefit san franciscans but do not flow directly through san francisco's budget. supervisor chu: that would be great. i know we have item 3 also, which is a resolution. would you like to present that item as well? >> i think mr. chu from the mayor's office of housing is here to address that issue. >> good afternoon, director of community development from the mayor's office of housing. i think you have heard the description of the possible cuts. let me give you a little bit of the latest update we have from our partners, the national community development association. they have been working, trying to have meetings with each and every senator because that is where we feel we may have to focus to save this program. in their meetings with the senators, they had discovered that many of the newest senators were unaware that cdbg supported any services in their state. the educational process, i think, was useful. however, while many of the senate

we are being engaged. there will be a short time for public comment. it will be a short time. if you are not able to speak or bring your issues to the table, there will be more of these town halls. there will be the budget process. the more we are involved, the more we can work with the mayor and the supervisors to make sure that the budget reflects the priority of said francisco. one correction is that the translation today was provided by the office for immigrant affairs. [applause] >> how are you? thanks for coming out tonight. we want to thank greg wider. i did not read that correctly. the budget director. i could not read my own handwriting. chief good when from the police department, please be respectful. these people have given their time to come and be part of the process. from the department of public works and barbara garcia from the department of public housing. i am new at this just like everyone else. sorry for making those mistakes. even though all of you can't speak tonight because of the limited time, it is important that we remember the example that i can thin

that would be recidivism, my definition of it, and that is what i would be looking for. but we averaged about 70 felony arrests every day. for me personally, i would have to ask them to look into their criminal background, each one of those 70 people, on a daily basis, and find out if their most recent arrest had any type of connectivity to what they have been arrested for in the past. at that point, what would we do? count that as a point against them? do i report that as they have had five other incidents of similar crimes? that is what we need to define, exactly what type of report we will generate out of all of this work -- administrative work. supervisor mirkarimi: we do not want to make it more onerous. i'm thinking that while there is some notation, at the same time, when there are arrests, based on your recommendation and how to capture what that repeat offender rate is, what the easiest path is, i would defer to your suggestions since that would obviously be chronicled along with the rest. you would know concurrently if there was a record during the rest as well

we would be starting upstream. the first phase was to put in the pipe and also to repair the existing store lines that are 100 years old when we look at the urban watershed from work, we will be looking for out watershed. we will be looking at daylighting and some cases, that will be the separation of the source and it might need separating storm water and wastewater so that we can keep it isolated and keep it out of the system to buy back the capacity. i drove cesar chavez and this is really crowded. having this flooding or the public, is that this can cause is something that is worrisome. we will be continuing to work on this. we will quantify the issues that were brought to light, how much storm water removal and what did they buy. >> you have not done any up- front modeling. it seems that if you introduce this like some absorption or whatever amount he would be able to say, you actually don't need that. the goals we have set, those we were able to keep out of the pipe. >> the issue is that this would be on cesa

what can be done? there is a thing called a fleming go role, where there are more pill kirk's operating clinics in broward county, fla., ben mcdonald drive- throughs. people and other parts of the country are hired by drug pushers to get on the bus, go to florida with them. but they all go through the pain clinics, come back with a barrelful of oxycondone and other prescription medicines, or they are sold for 10, 15, 20 times what they paid for them. it and people are dying. because they are too easily obtained. fda has to be a partner in this fight. despite positive efforts in recent years through additional labeling requirements, collaboration with partner agencies, and increase communication with physicians, prescribes, dispensers, and patients still are woefully under informed about the risks associated with these products. fda has to be fully aware of the implications of these drugs before they go to market, which is why congress instituted the requirement for extended release pain drugs in 2007.

they won't be gses. they'll be privatized.fannie and freddie, and we'll hardly get there on this five-year transition. >> clarify one point. >> you said there would still be government actors. describe what that would be. >> an fha, for example, with the department of agriculture, but these are fully government actors, not these hybrid, strange creatures which claim at the same time to be government -- >> so how do we get there in five years? >> uh, we know fannie and freddie had very little capital. they introduced excess leverage, i'll say hyperleverage into the financial system. one of the reasons they did that is because in their interaction with the banking system through regulation, banks were encouraged in many ways to help leverage fannie and freddie, including by buying the equity of fannie and freddie, an activity which caused the failure of a number of banks. so fannie and freddie, for starters, need to be right now given the same requirements as national banks. we take away the capital arbitrage and the hyperlevera

being $60 million, it was over $40 million. so we have now been accruing that amount of money owed back to the school district. it must be repaid between 2015 and 2018, unless there is an extension of the baseline, so there is a potential to be forgiven what we have expended is the baseline is extended. now, moving on to the reserves, contingency reserves, we have the rainy day reserve, which was approved back in november 2003, and in this, deposits were made in years when the general fund growth exceeded 5%. it is nice to think back to that time. it actually rose to be over $100 million before the latest downturn. we project that the general fund revenues will be less than the previous year, and, by the way, this looks at total general fund revenues, not just the discretionary that we looked at in the past, so there is an impact here in terms of what we are able to withdraw, with federal and state, and they also have an impact elsewhere. it triggers a deposit. so under the terms of that reserve, the budget may appropriate up t

it seems to be that there is something not being considered here. we are not a bottomless pits. there is a limit to what we can do. pedestrian lighting and having must take charge means we don't have to deal with people not doing their job but there is a cost and i'm concerned about it. this is a resource that we know is insufficient. >> if we postpone this item for a month to see what happens with the better streets planning and the economy and what not. i see the pedestrian my question. does that mean that nothing can take care of those lights? >> that's right. there is no clarity on who gets called and to take the truck out there to fix it. >> in the case of the district, yes. there presently owned by the developer who improved the area. >> we would try to insist that they continue to maintain them. you would not let the lights go out. these are actually street lights. they have not been accepted by the city. outages are happening. these are not our lights. they have not been inspected by the city. it kind of goes into limbo. at some point, it becomes a safety and security is

erika andersen: i think that being strategic may be one of your most useful tools to use in creating the life that you want to have. lucky for us, being strategic is learnable. most of us kind of try to wander toward solutions in our lives without ever having clarified the problem that we're trying to solve. in my mind, the way to make this really useful and valuable to yourself is to make it a habit of mind and action. and that's what i want from you. i want you to keep learning and to create the lives that you most want to have. so, welcome, everybody. i'm thrilled to be here, and i hope to make this time that we have together as valuable as possible. i want to share with you a process and a set of skills that can help you create the life, the future, the business, the career, the relationship, that you most want for yourself. so let me start by asking you a question. how many of you, over the last couple of months, have heard the word "strategic?" it could have been at a business meeting, it could have been at a kid's fundraising committee meeting, you know you hear at work, "stra

so it will be this last piece that i will be focusing the discussion on today. this was question a lot in the media, so i will talk about that in one piece. i should note that it is one of the many methods that we used to combat odor in waste water. so where do we use this? on the charts year, about 50% of the sodium hypochlorite is used for disinfecting water. about 30% is used for disinfecting and treating waste water, and the remaining amount is used for over control -- odor control. it is not the only chemical we use. we also use peroxide and a ferriss solution -- ferous -- ferrous solution. they are cite specific. this is basically from where the odors are coming from. you want to know what this costs. that is what you are looking at there. while the total chemical addition has gone down, you will note that for sodium hypochlorite, it has actually increased, and in the next few slides, i will show you y. -- why. we are not just using chemicals. we are also using other methods. in the elevated ventilation stacks, these are sights specific. -- site specific.

the risks ought to be clear. it ought to be that you compare one product to two or three others. >> thank you. black thank you. i like to ask a bay have this. i sought out a second mortgage. it is a five-year prepayment penalty. i probably paid for% or 5% more thanhe going rate to be able to get aecond mortgage on my home. i was able to repay debt and the film my dream. they know that they can do it. the government is going to te them that it is a bad deal and they cannot do it and not allow businesses tmake those loans. i appreciated your visit. there are a lot of young businesses that are just getting started. they use a lot of their own personal credit to finance these things. more than 47% of small-business owners use personal credit cards as opposed to business credit cards. that is in nature. i want to sit between an individual using credit cards to buy fancy clothing and a small business owner obtaining credit. >> thank you for a year hospitality. i want to be clear about what we are trying to do. but we c

that would be my first point.nigh second point, really, is to talk a little bit about developing solutions and scenarios of uncertainty. one of the points i picked up from the various documents around the last few days is concept of no regrets. that's certainly something we've used in the, uk. i know it's been used here is a well. this is taking an incremental approach. not starting with the solution today to address all the problems but what can we do now to take it in the right direction in the next 20 years so we won't have to stand up in 20 years and say we should not have done that or even worse, i wish we'd done something 20 years back. i believe peter said, maybe some of us think if we acted in 1997 some of the problems might not be so challenging in 07'. an incremental no regrets approach might be something to think about as a strategy for going forward. we talked about from the third perspective, stake holder perspective and it takes time to bring them to the table. it's different techniques that it takes

it could be touchy, but it could be useful. i'm just saying that we could use occasions for teaching about things that could make a difference. so i just say raise questions, and sometimes, raise hell when you raise the questions. [applause] >> i wanted to know if there was an african-american district attorney working in texas to review some of the cases that were -- i guess, tried, and some of the evidence was not valid. looking through investigating some of those cases to find out if they should be released because of the false information that was acquired. >> the attorney who has been the lead on the team that i have been in communication with is a guy by the name of morris moon, and he would be the person i could ask to find out the answer. there is actually a be a working on that, but i know there have been so many cases -- there is actually a d.a. working on that, but i know there have been so many cases that have been exposed, especially with dna testing. it is almost like every other week. there does need to be somebo

there will be a systemic crash. there will be devastating consequences. the point is that, much like the tarp, whoever happens to be president at the time and controlling congress at that time, for the best of the country, has to go in and rescue the banks. it is not a moral question. that is what too-big-to-fail means. certain transportation's of the bill gives certain degree of discretion as to which -- certain portions of the build a certain degree of discretion as to dollars and something you can point to that does not mean an orderly bankruptcy and can continue in the form of a bailout, whether funded by the industry or elsewhere, if you have a to-be-to-filled eyes, we will be right back where we were in 2008 -- too big -- too- big-to-fail crisis, we will be back where we startewere in 200. unless and until they use those the 40's, we are worse than the status quo. -- the use those -- use those authorities, we are worse than the status quo. the market is looking at dodd- frank and they are rejecting it. it increases capital requirements. the volcker

this would be 70. we're not talking about excellent or the highest category by any means, but we do want to get it up to 70, and that shows the level of commitment that would be needed. this those -- this show's general fund support. this is what the picture would look like. there would also be little or no money for some other things, so getting work for roofs or hvac, that would be impacted, as well. chair chu: brian, this has to deal with the reallocation about what would be sent on? >> right. i am looking for dodi, if he wants to verify that. that is accurate -- i am looking for drug -- doug. chair chu: it seems pretty level overall. >> right. chair chu: and then the hetch bar area, that is the area where we are most doubtful. >> right. this is the area we are hoping to grow by 10%. we should mention there are certain things that we pay right off of the top that we do not question. some of its is our ada work, and part of the reason we are doing well is critical. we know we cannot do it without doi

be applied. the formula retail includes retail sales and service and there is no exception for banks. i agree with their analysis. additionally, this space appears to be over 4000 square feet. i went and measured the space as best i could from the outside. i used to be an engineer, so i know how to make accurate calculations and vestments. i also looked at the plans they submitted to the board of appeals. i remade the measurements and my measurements were accurate and showed it went over 4000 square feet and i believe the neighborhood met with the zoning administrator and even as sony and administrators calculation appeared to go over 4,000 feet. then there was a back and forth trying to change the numbers. it is clear that goes over 4000 square feet and that should require a conditional use permit. not only that, as they walked up atm college planning concedes requires a conditional use permit that now are trying to change the plans so they don't have to have a conditional use permit. the board

the second part would be we would ask that the trees not be pruned, and that they be allowed to create an ongoing canopy that will be able to leaf not three months out of the year, but nine months out of the year. the last would be for the city to consider possibly putting a sidewalk garden around the trees also. there is a good 35 yards in front of the building. it would be an opportunity for the city to support the sidewalk garden project, which we are actively promoting. it would help the environment. it would help run off and do a great job to help alleviate the streetscape environment with that tall building. thank you. >> ms. swanson, do you have any rebuttal? >> again, i am the housing manager. i originally did take a walk to look at some trees on the other side of the street. we talked about it with my director and the executive director of the housing authority. i am not an expert on trees. i did not know if the trees were dead. i was told there were dead. that was the first time they had been cut since i have been there. i understand that the same person who cut the trees cut

absent her being here, my preference would be for ms. treggiari. she has spoken before us twice. i would find it difficult to replace her with someone who does not come at all. i do not feel as strongly, but i would defer it to fill up with. i will leave it at that. chairperson kim: i am more than happy to continue seat three. i continue to support the reverend, but i have had the opportunity to meet with her and my colleagues have not. i want them to feel comfortable with the recommendations we move forward. commissioner elsbernd: kathy, you do not need to come back a third time. we have heard you twice. chairperson kim: and deborah as well. judy kerns, seat 2. megan rohrer for seat 3. maxine pauson for seat 4. commissioner elsbernd: -- why don't we continue seat three? commissioner farrell: no objections. >> there was not an applicant for seat one. if you give me time, i will try to do more recruitments. chairperson kim: thank you so much for being here today. >> one of the things i apologize that we did not point out -- to be respectful of mr. picorillo's comments, your applic

but it will be challenging. we have been meeting with paving contractors to discuss many issues that are challenges or opportunities for improvement in working with the city. we have specifically address this issue with them before in terms of understanding what some of the challenges are, looking at local hiring under the old scenario. we discussed when this was in development stages what some of their reactions would be. we have another town hall meeting scheduled either this month or next month to further work with them on this, to share the data that we have on what the actual performance has been -- >> what are the trace that will be most impacted, that will have to do the largest catch up? >> it varies from project type. on paving and sewer projects, those with a significant number of hours that have not been at 20%. cement masons in 2010 were under 10%. teamsters were right at 20%. i guess the cement masons are a big chunk of the work, and that is where the biggest challenge will be. overall, in 2010, we

it is important to be clear we cannot be halfway about that goal. the people of libya are not asking for foreign troops on the ground. they are committed to doing what is necessary, but they do need the tools to prevent the slaughter of innocents on libyan streets. i believe the global community cannot be on the sidelines while airplanes are allowed to bomb. a no-fly zone is not a long time situation. i believe we ought to be ready to implement it as necessary. it is clear that we are living through one of the most important chance formations in the history of the modern world. some have likened these protests to the revolutions of 1848 which changed the european landscape forever. there is no doubt these events will be studied for decades to come. in this moment as we gather here the full ramifications of the people that has happened from tunisia to tahrir square, we don't understand yet exactly how that outcome is going to be defined. what we do know is this is a time of great challenge for the people there and also for people in other countries.

it's a great privilege to* for me to be here. it's going to be a very exciting two days for me and i hope for you as well. i'd like to say thank you very much to the organizers for inviting me today. i'm david baumforth and i'd like to share experiences of what's been going on in the uk and also for me to share what's been going on here as well. in talking about what we've been doing in the uk in relation to our adaptation strategies for flooding and coastal defense, i want to talk through a few of the strategic projects we've been undertaking, one of them for the uk (inaudible) climate change in relation to urban flooding and foresight project, which is the uk government project for climate change, flooding and coastal defense. government guidance note on planning, talking about making space for water in urban design, the construction industry in the uk's design guidance for managing extreme events or managing exceedence and finally the government's policy guidance in the uk on integrated approaches to urban drainage. now, the p

to do so would be more than unfair. it would be immoral. a federal bailout cannot help and it will not happen. mr. president, i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from illinois. mr. kirk: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to dispense with the quorum call. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. kirk: mr. president, i rise today to speak about the deteriorating human rights situation in iran. we understand that isfahan ahram masiri, the iranian president of medicine -- mahmud ahmadinejed's chief of staff will be arriving in the united states as soon as tomorrow. he is a close friend and trusted advisor of president ahmadinejed. he is someone who has worked closely with president ahmadinejed since 1982 when ahmadinejed was governor in koy in west azerbaijan and the intelligence administrator appointed him as the security team for the kurdistan region next door. since then, masiri has been a membe

expertise could be being used to shape the future political landscape of the region nor emmett's r.t. london are all parts of the main thrust of the story as the us nuclear refuses to rule intervention in libya let's bring some of the conversation now dr alexander close amir's sees in the u.k. he's a senior lecturer in politics at coventry university joins me now to talk more about the foreign forces building near libya even to thank for being on r.t. we've witnessed more than two weeks of fighting and bloodshed stories coming out of the situation doesn't seem to be improving falling appears to be getting worse but there is an argument i guess isn't there but maybe the intervention of foreign forces is a good thing it could help stabilize the situation your thoughts about the place. yes i think there's a strong case for military intervention in libya but the issue is not whether one is in favor of that form of action or against i think the main issue is how military intervention will be organized who will take part in it in what the specific remit or of action will be for example i th

to be used for such a curious thing. to be used for. not just the bank so when you bring you the world's worst critic brand because of the christmas day goes across europe voters are saying no. measures portugal's prime minister has quit of the parliament voted down a fresh round of cuts because he has three months left to repay almost ten billion euro at a time when its sovereign credit rating has been caught analysts say the only option left is national default to tell liberals the country called pay back its loans or accept an e.u. bailout similar to greece and ireland it hasn't happened in the west in the second world war but the longer you pursue this necessary evil. the more costly it is is going to be at the same time military intervention in libya is costing hundreds of millions of euros many a furious what they see as an unnecessary and expensive campaign somebody asked the . the finance minister about the financing of this and i think the overwhelming sense that you got from it was among the public in britain with skepticism w

people won't be able to work roads will be snarled it will be close to the whole the whole bit now they were in a recession for three months already so you know that's going to be very negative over the short term. over the medium term a lot of the things that summers is talking about is that they are actually true you're going to have a lot of a lot more production in order to get them themselves back up to speed but the reality is is that you know there's an opportunity cost to you know they're not going to be able to invest in other places and i think that's going to have a big impact on markets around the world the japanese are huge exporters of capital so when you see them investing a lot in their own society in order to do this that means that they won't have as much capital to export and we already saw the markets being affected today many of them went down but also what wins out is oriel price is the third largest consumer of oil on the planet after the u.s. and china so it's not almost going to be a good thing to the skyrocketing oil prices that we've seen lately you know it's

trampled on i try to go to be. and they said was on take time like two or three years for your five years back to school. i mean you start thinking about the veterans day come back. these days veterans are ending up homeless sooner than ever so if you want to get off the streets. yeah i was just. four years ago barry and robert lee hunter was serving his country in iraq today he is hooked on drugs and living under a bridge. here. i'm going to punch problems he's used force oh interview we hear a guy handcuffed to a bed. you know. as i wonder when he said he gets by with some food and extra clothing from the nonprofit group national veterans foundation their outreach efforts fill the gap where government agencies like the v.a. have failed before and you can only see like one every. but every three or four months and now every time we go we see somebody from iraq or from the first gulf war some people join the armed services in hopes of having financial stability was tricked out with their duty unfortunately some of
