so the rule says, the law says no more than two of us can meet without it being a public meeting. without public notice, to discuss substance. so we can only need one on one. so when it's the three of us, myself, chairman genachowski and commissioner clyburn, we only had to. now have two more. we each have four meeting so it does increase the meeting time. we hope that someday, i can't speak to the two newest but for the rest of us on the record are supporting a reform for the sunshine government act that would allow us to meet in private everything we do ultimately is public and a peelable to courts and rationale written out in order, sunshine government act in this regard can be cumbersome but if you think about, congress can meet behind closed doors. the supreme court to meet behind closed doors. you can have substantive meetings in a larger context. by brother was a mayor. he tells us the city council can be behind closed doors. we don't want secrecy in government but we want to be able to lease share thoughts and then we will explained in public. >> host: in your testimony, yo

government blank check and that's really what these bills have done in a lot of ways these laws could also be used to capitalize off the threat of cyber terrorism by impeding net neutrality and what could be a competitive threat it could be something that we wouldn't really you and i describe as a stivers a curate a threat but really just a threat to their current bottom line or to their business since both already passed the house that is awaiting a senate vote one thing is clear the government will continue its attempt to control the internet and the blanket threat of cyber terrorism may be the perfect way to convince the people to give up their rights to privacy on the net once and for all abby martin marty washington. now to talk more about these cyber fears and if and what the passage of siskel would mean for your online for guns as mike respond to his a campaign strategist for access now dot org mike welcome so what do you think are lawmakers taking part in fear mongering or are cyber threats a legitimate fear. thanks for having me. i don't know about this story called fear mongering but the

when the house voted in favor of this but they even expanded the ways that your personal data could be used by companies and the government now it's worse they combined all of those additional provisions with the already incredibly vague language of this bill which uses words like notwithstanding to say that any spying in the name of cyber security overrules any existing privacy law so they basically signed off on the concept of giving the government full access to do anything they want with your data will trampling on your fourth amendment rights and several privacy groups out there like the a.c.l.u. that. they're opposed to this but as well as the white house although i must admit i'm a little bit skeptical on that what now we've even seen a few lawmakers take their concerns over this broadly written bill to the floor. this bill had a privacy policy it would read you have no privacy and twenty twit but it sure feels like you need a foreign news host to if you value liberty to privacy in the constitution then you will vote no. now despite the growing opposition in pro privacy circles one o

for they can be used for surveillance depending on as soon as somebody wants to do that so we need a lot more protection to be written into the wall right yeah i think a lot of it is just very vague right now and certainly there are situations in which some drones are good you know a lot of people think of drones and they think of you know the these unmanned aerial vehicles that kill people in pakistan but certainly there are some that help out in the time of fire they can detect heat they can detect you know signs of life but but one of the things that is really interesting to me jefferson is some of these drones are actually you know the smaller ones at least they're less than four and a half pounds do you think people understand that that drones i mean the vast majority of the american public you think they understand that a lot of these are these drones are going to be very small the size of some birds yeah i mean i think. people are beginning to wake up to this technology and it's a it's a disruptive transformative technology like you know like a web browser or like a g.p.s. so

thank you so much for being with us. will edwards be found guilty.mitchell and ken gross and former co-campaign finance expert for the edwards legal team. does the prosecution have a case? >> they do have a case. whether they will froive we never know what is jury is going to do. in 2002 congress changed the mccainn it passed mccain feingold and added a new definition. payments by a third-party for expenses of a candidate. the question is that the prosecution has to show that these payments which were clearly made by a third-party were made because of and related to the campaign. >> judge jeanine: but wait a minute. what we just heard from dylon was that bunny mellon new that what the money was being used for but we haven't heard that john edwards knew what the money was being used for. and isn't that the issue, ken? >> yeah, this money never went into the campaign. this money was never part of the campaign money. this money went outside the campaign. >> judge jeanine: so i want to go back to clita. the money didn't go to the campaign. how is the pro

its resources that could be used in better ways, to police the jurisdictions that have voted it in. that's what this amendment does, is this says there won't be any additional spending of federal moneys to try to thwart the will of the people of the states on issues in which they have voted. this is the most basic democracy that we could be talking about. you talk about the founding fathers, this is the people who give us power, they have voted in their states to make it the law. and the federal government has taken its heavy hand and tried to come in there and have come in there and prosecuted individuals. it's for the state to prosecute those individuals if they want. as the gentleman from california, mr. schiff, has pointed out, federal priorities have to be made to meet the resources available. the moneys that they're spending now on -- in these states could be spent on border traffic, could be spent on policing against heroin and cocaine, which cause people, when they get hooked, to commit violent crimes, to get

first universities and kind of uses for drones that actually may not be malicious sort of a people's privacy there are legitimate uses for drones i mean police police officers or law enforcement agencies can use them for search and rescue operations or fighting wildfires where people couldn't get or mapping natural disasters they can even be used for journalism and so i think that's what a lot of these universities are exploring. and as far as who actually owns fronts right now we actually had to file a lawsuit against the f.a.a. because they were keeping all that information secret even though manned airplanes in aircraft have to be are or are posted automatically and are transparent about who's operating them for some reason they weren't doing the same thing so we just got this information back a few weeks ago and as you said there's a lot of small long foresman agencies across the country that actually have. these drones which many of which they got like i said from home and security money and the good part is that a lot of cities actually been banned these any sort of flying objec

things these things where you have to monitor possible terrorists with these kinds of devices is being used to track citizens. they were once used to track terrorists now going to be used on citizens. again rate now the way the air forces is dealing with this is they can't go out and say here's joe terrorist i'm going to i'm going to hunt him down without high level approval but they can incidentally pick stuff up they may be flying over you know i eighty and they find your car and they find some interest in your car for some reason they can get and i mean that kind of data can and i suspect will get sucked up into ultimately the national counterterrorism center which has access to all of these databases at this point and used to kind of cross-reference with other data and then again you know i don't think we know the full capability of some of the sensors they're putting on the military drones and so i don't think we know you know we know for example the drones being used in iran have the ability to monitor for nuclear energy but. what else are they use and what other kind of fancy sensors

it would not be a provision that could be used in the future, moving forward. and i would like to emphasize that should usf apply for any of the limited exceptions in the future, it would be for an existing site. the land use committee and the planning department supports the proposed exception. we respectfully request that you also recommend with limited exception consistent with the planning department's recommendation. thank you. >> any additional public comment? commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini: an excellent discussion and i am supportive of the continuance that has been proposed. i have some comments. i think we all agree that the real key incentive in this whole legislation will be for institutions to try to provide new housing to meet the needs that are out there. because otherwise, it is just the same amount of housing. and it is true that there are a number of students looking for housing, and whether the number be 40,000 or if 20,000, it is quite clear there are a lot. i remember the days in the late '60s and early 1970's when i was a stude

thank you, everyone, for being here. this used to be part of district 1. with the redistricting process, and there is a commissioner in the front row, but it is now district 5. we share the park. all of us are stewards of it. the general manager acknowledges this as well. carmen chu is here as well from the board of supervisors. [applause] also, many leaders from the richmond district that our office's work closely with over the years, you'll hear from them a little bit later we hope that the budget process will be one that is very sensitive and transparent, especially fair for our communities. district 1, the richmond district, and the other neighborhoods of district 1 feel strongly that seniors and the aging population of our district are critical, part of the critical safety net. we have a number of speakers that will be speaking later. nick and linda from the golden gate senior service center. seniors in our aging population is critical. also, for transportation and transit needs, we have a leader from the sierra club in the richmond district. sue is on

so resurgent russia that's always in the background of people talking about what nato might be useful for. but ultimately, you know, i think that looking at different capabilities in europe that can replace the military capabilities that are either being removed by the united states or being reduced by european countries is a necessary conversation to have. and i look forward to having that conversation. it's not going to take place in chicago, unfortunately. but maybe later at a subsequent nato summit. >> we're buying weapons that we're not deploying, we're just keeping. this is my argument to support, what is my counterargument? yes -- well, we don't have any money. you probably realize by now that we don't have any money. so the options are very specific. what do you do then? do you sort of close that country and good-bye? or you reinstate your status all over. the idea is basically a button like a reset. where you know what were the mistakes and you learn from the mistakes of other countries. we have common history in this one. history plays a very important role. no wonder why we

be an occasional academic. i feel your pain. the pivot, if you want to use that word, which seems to have resonated around, needs to be understood in the right way. this was not a pivot away from europe. it was a pivot away from a decade of war in which europe needs to become a partner. and we see europe as a partner in that activity. for us europe remains our partner of choice. it remains the place where the economic and military and political weight of that coalition is larger than any other part of the world. we need europeans to be with us to deal with the global challenges that we face together. the fact that we are spending now more time thinking about operating in asia should be seen as something europeans ought to welcome because there is stability in asia but also because we see europe not as a xcompetitor in asia but very muh as a partner, as a part of our solution to deal with the global challenges that we face together. that does mean that europe will probably have to continue to think about what can it do for europe. that is an important questio

and it would help us to root out and if there are such cases of abuse and fraud, that may be let upon the use of tax dollars, we want to route that out and make the necessary reforms to provide for more sufficient use. but once again, i think investments in our inf infrastructure in this country are true investments in our future, in our children, in our grandchildren. and we want to ensure that we have a safe and efficient system of transportation in this country, we want to be able to move our goods and people from small rural areas such as i represent for the major markets of this country and to the major markets of the world. because we are in a global competition. not one county versus the next county or one state versus the neighboring state even. but we are the united states of america, and unfortunately we're in severe competition with other countries. >> while we're talking about jobs, let's take a look at how west virginia is doing unemploymentwise versus the nation. a little better than everyone else nationally. unemployment rate nationally as we know, 8.1% on the later num

my amendment states that none of the funds made available by this act may be used to do an informal base realignment and closure. as you may be aware, the senate version of the national defense authorization act calls for an independent commission that would help determine the air forces structure. i know that many members of this congress, of this chamber also want congress to have our say on this issue. my amendment will help ensure that we do. i thank the chairman and the members of the subcommittee for working with me on this important amendment and i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back. does any member seek recognition? the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from new jersey. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. the amendment is agreed to. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? >> i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will report the amendment. the clerk: amendment offered by mr. flores of texas. at the end of the bill, before the short

as is in harvey's report, the loan that was initially going to be used from redevelopment to the landlord of the site is no longer an option for us and we are looking for other ways to fund this. it is definitely a party of our office and the mayor's office, and i appreciate the mayor's office working diligently on the many funding gap issues. >> bill barnes, on behalf of the city administrator. in trying to figure out how to move this project forward in the wake of product development resolution, we have done a good job on behalf of the police department in figuring out how to bring folks together. the lowest cost in both cases, the project can be delivered within a few months. how do we move this forward in the proposal before you? with that, i will turn it over to the city administrator. we hope that this proposal will meet with [unintelligible] >> thank you. good afternoon. john updike, i am heartened to hear that i will hear i have a longer life as a golfer. that was wonderful news this morning. this item is an amendment to least less than 2000 square feet for a police substation. th

solutions that will lead to approval so the bottom line is they're here to stay but what will they be used for and to what extent will privacy be taken into consideration when some of these local governments sign up for permission to use drones in their jurisdictions as an activist with the electronic frontier foundation and hopefully will all of us answer some of these questions hey there trevor i know you just wrote about this and you found that there's actually some local governments stepping in trying to ensure that these drones will be used simply for their intended purposes first of all talk about what those intended purposes are and also as of these local governments are saying. sure so i mean the real problem with drones or surveillance drones at least in the us would be the massive privacy violations they could end up causing because these drones obviously have high definition cameras that can stay flying for hours or days at a time and they could be attached with cameras that can sense infrared light or keep or chemicals even and so there are many different ways that americans pr

there's privacy issues but you know at the end of the we're all a bit of a new area of privacy being taken from us and to be honest i think of it more privacy taken from me in the bars and restaurants of london. yeah but to be on the studio my credit card has been cloned twice in london and that was involved to get no one's ever stolen my identity on facebook perhaps i'm just not desirable enough i don't know ok roman if i go to you in san francisco where do you jump in on this let me know because you're not going to have a well maybe we'll have a time line in a bar one day but that's an interesting difference roman where do you jump in on this. yeah i think it's always as always if you have a consumer product and they change something especially if you're as popular as facebook there is going to be backlash and there has been significant backlash against timeline but in terms of you know stuff being more visible i think that's actually positive in the sense that this is all the post that you did back in two thousand five when you were in college or something there were still there and it was they
