what does that work on the in terms bond of is capacity? >> 2-and-a-half million is roughly $25 million. >> so the 14 cents rate has that capacity and we are talking about changes in the cost structure, the liever gives you more and we'll be looking for guidance from our commission on what the right mix should be, how you wish to, if you wish to make those changes , how you want us to apply the lower cost in rate savings and capacity >> what would be providing with us the different scenarios that shows the bonding capacity and increase in bonding capacity because it gives us a sense of how we want to adjust the rates in terms of how we want to accomplish that plan. >> mr. torres? >> i want to make sure that we understand that this issue has to be extended until our april 23rd meeting to make sure we have the scenarios of the chairman referencing this. this is the first time we have seen this data. >> yes. commissioner, we understand this is your first exposure to the rate and to these choices that we are describing to you in such a more con

and capacity over the last 18 months. commandingcommander the big red one has been magnificent in bringing the along to builds capacity to be able to fight credibly. we have this organic layering of police elements that will be supported by the maneuver elements of the police, which in turn will be supported by the afghan national army which is being cited in key locations to conduct operations against the red light's coming out of pakistan, the potential safe havens, and they afghanistan, and support areas. and they're supported by afghan commandos. and increasingly you will see the fielding of the mobil site -- of the mobile strike force battalions. five in the northeast. armoredhighly mobile units that will give the afghans the capable -- the capability to move to keep aerospace is. -- two key battle spaces. if i had a map like to lay this out for you in a way that would give you a sense that in the east, while it would have been useful to have conventional forces for isaf to conduct for their operations, we just did n

high-capacity high-capacity magazines is not required for defending one's home or sports shooting. it enables shooters to inflict maximum damage on humans. forcing such a person to stop and reload can save lives. that was the case in tucson, arizona when a 30-round magazine ran out and he had to reload. he was tackled. i go to bed every night wondering whether i will be awakened by another dawn call which notified me of the horrifying mass shooting in aurora, or whether i will receive calls from other u.s. attorneys from around the country confronting the same sort of event in their own home state. i'm proud to serve as a u.s. attorney for colorado. it is the state i grew up in. it proudly honors american institutions, including the ownership of firearms as guaranteed by the second amendment. i also share the view of most law enforcement professionals and ordinary americans that there should be reasonable proposals to restrict the sale of military style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. it is needed to protect the american people. i urge the committee to act. thank you.

and capacity of the force. swell, i think, as i said, reform, fighting corruption, developing the economic impact of the country. those will lag. the security environment. we should expect they will. the good news is, as we found in may of last year in chicago, the nato and its isaf, 2 partners are willing to contribute over time to the security environment, the security forces of the afghans. and although i don't think the decision has been announced, there is very clear consideration that the afghan security forces, 352,000, should remain at that number for some number of years after our mission is over. that's a signal of commitment over the long-term which is good for the afghan people, it's good for the security environment of the country, if that force remains intact for a number of years, it gaves the next -- gives the next administration time to get its legs up under it, to pursue an agenda of reform, countering corruption. it gives the economy time to move into equill inreyum after years tissue equilib

i do think it is possible to get 60 votes on the high-capacity weapons ban. it is hard to imagine it could be a violation of the first amendment for somebody to yell fire in a crowded theater but it is not a violation of the second amendment to prevent someone from bringing a 100 round magazine into a crowded theater in aurora, colorado. we've heard specific testimony about lives that would be have been saved if there had not been high-capacity magazines. we heard from representative gifford's husband in the shooting, he mentioned the child of the 13th shot victim that would not have happened if he had to reload. we heard about the aurora case, the consequence of having the high-capacity magazine. we heard from the police chief that there is no testimony to the contrary,indeed the republican witnesses have said that these high-capacity magazines, at least at some level are outside the heller decision. this was an admission of the pro gun witnesses. there is room to maneuver there. there is logic behind it. it does not interfere with the prescriptions of helle

we see school at near capacity. we are expecting we will have a capacity problem very soon. and we even had a demographer that lives in the daniel webster area, samantha lux, that did data and predict 44,000 children in that attendance area. and now we have 160 available kindergarten seats, so less than half the capacity we will need. >> so it's been about a year, since supervisor farrell wisely called the hearing on the families from san francisco. we need to get serious about when and why families are leaving. the city does a good job of keeping everything that people need in san francisco. i am sure that everyone in this room could pick up a onesie when they leave. one thing that is tough when you seek a preschool. i am director of potrero kids, we are currently in admission season. and i see the look on the faces of these parents. they are stressed to find a new pre-school. 80% of them won't have a seat in our school. if you don't get in a satisfactory pre-school, this is a good chance you will leave the area. and what is best whether private or perochial. and i have ask

it would also have the effect of diminishing to training and capacity building of the afghans. i chose, as a commander, very early on to determine that this was an enemy threat. by challenging it as an enemy threat we were able to take a boat tour here it set of measures -- take a more coherent set of measures to treat it as a cultural issue with only cultural training as prescribed outcome. we swam upstream, we looked at training from the moment someone arrived in a unit for deployment. we looked at all of that with an eye towards reducing our vulnerabilities and improving the afghans through without alienating our allies. we had to do that as well. everything from the concept of the guardian angel to a comprehensive training program back at home station was the result. we also worked closely with the afghans. the afghan suffered tremendous casualties themselves from what it called greene and greene -- green and blue is the afghan attack on i sac forces -- isaf forces. in a lot -- in the last 72 hours, there were a lot of afghans, at least five guardians were killed by a fello

they are at full capacity, as are all the firearms makers and manufacturers. it's got a very good yield, and as your other guest said, it's only got a 20% payout ratio so it has a great deal of capacity to increase its dividend. it's got no debt on its balance sheet and certainly one of those plays that is going to be for the short term i think a lot of cash flow into that company that could will altered into

they give the capacity to fire round after round after round without reloading. they give the capacity to fire round after round after round without reloading. and if we could get a ban on high-capacity magazines, we could really do something to stop some of these crazy, mass shootings. >> it's all about 60 votes. today vice president biden made your point. here he is. he wasn't giving an inch. he joined michael bloomberg and families of the newtown, connecticut, shooting victims to call for the ban despite harry reid's decision not to include it in the bill. let's listen to the vp. >> for all those who say we shouldn't and can't ban all assault weapons, for the politicians who say it's too hard, how can they say it when you take a look at those 20 beautiful babies and what happened to them? for all those who say we shouldn't or couldn't ban high-capacity magazines, i just ask them one question, think about newtown. think about newtown. think about what happened out in -- where gabby giffords, my good friend, was shot and mortally wounded. had he only had one cli

or is it really within their capacity? if it's not within the capacity, can relive the?with and against them with our pockets of insurgents ensures throughout much of the country fairly close to kabul? again, two-part question. the simple part is do they fight its that sort of a gut instinct, got field to what you saw and from what you -- the second part, for those areas of the country we didn't you do, can they do it themselves now? >> let me get the second one first. the east is going to be a challenge for a long time for afghanistan. and i think it's important, sometimes this comes as a surprise when i say this, that on the first of january they will still be fighting. of 2015. there is still going to be fighting in afghanistan. the isaf commission has ended and resolute support is underway as an advisory commission, they are still going to be fighting. afghanistan will join a long and distinguished list of countries that will be struggling in a post-conflict environment where it will have an insurgency in some parts of the country for an extended period of time. it's

actually have the capacity to handle event-related activity when it does happen. as part of our invest in neighborhoods initiative, performing assessments of 25 commercial corridors and those include tara ville, irving and noriega in your district, supervisor. and to build capacity we have also provided nearly $4 million in small business loans and facade and tenant improvements to provide critical assistance to our neighborhood commercial corridors. this approach, a sequence of advocacy, information and capacity building will ensure we create opportunities and connect communities all over our city to those great event opportunities. thank you very much for your question. i look forward to working with you, supervisor, on this issue. >> thank you, mr. mayor. i think that concludes our questions for today. madam clerk, why don't we go to our consent agenda. >> items 2 through 4 comprise the consent calendar. an item may be removed and considered separately. >> colleagues, with would anyone like to sever these item? roll call vote. ant on the consent calendar, skim?

we see school at near capacity. we are expecting we will have a

i think many of those firearms are equipped with large capacity magazines.n you shift from the handgun market to the rifle market, i think the popularity of the aar , which is a large capacity, military style, semiautomatic rifle, frequently has magazines i can do, a 20 rounds. because of the popularity of those models, i would say the caller is correct. that portion of the population that is armed is now better armed than it ever has been in the past. host: is the glock a semiautomatic pistol? guest: yes. a semiautomatic of a designation that refers to a weapon that has a magazine, in other words, a spring-loaded, rectangular box that snaps into the receiver, the bottom part of the gun. each launching of mechanicalcauses a process whereby the next round is brought up into the firing chamber from the magazine and prepared to be fired. a semi automatic is really a distinct and when you talk about handguns from the revolver, which rather than having and ammunition magazine, has a cylinder with slots for each round. mechanicalifferent function. it is important

the time to start investing in san francisco owning it's local, renewable generation capacity for a long stable rates is now. thank you. >> thank you very much. the next speaker, john rizo, rebecca evans, tom, and karen babbitt. >> my name is jen fong. i'm a student at sf state. i think affordable rates are important for this program that will make it sustain able over time. the achieved rates that are comparable to g pvment g and e. i demand the prioritization of the local build out not only to bring jobs and money to our economy, but to help us develop renewable energy resources and update infrastructure and bring more energy independence. to me that's what's invite a vital in creation of the plan to reduce carbon emissions. so let's be a model to other cities, rest of the world and make a strong program that is efficient from fossil fuel to clean energy. >> john with the sierra club, been a supporter for this program for a dozen years or so. we are here because we want to make this program work. right now we are concerned, it's great to hear that you are going to study the rates, but

that illustrates his capacity. he was capable of minor crime, but through this sting operate, the government was able to go to the public and say, here it is, another terrorist plot, another plot foiled. >> so you did it because you're a journalist, not a historian, as it were, you talked to people and find out what they were thinking in the process, and you, else, really made an effort to get of sense of why the fbi would be doing this and what the rationale is from the bureau's point of view. >> right. there are few people who work in the fbi who are critical of this, but in general of the program, in general, you find agents, current and former, a general support of the program, and in the fbi's view, what they believe is that al-qaeda as it existed on 9/11 is how it exists today, there is a capacity for a terrorist organization like al-qaeda to send over, people who commit a horrific crime, but they are concerned with lone wolves, people already in the west disaffected, disillusioned, are -- have, you know, bad

that's why he had that gun, that's why he had 30-round capacity magazines. that's why we need to do something about them, as well as lots of other things that we need to do. those guns should have been under a lock. quite frankly, they should never have been in the home of a disturbed individual such as this young man. but we need to do a whole bunch of things. but arguing that if we don't get everything done right as a reason not to do anything is ridiculous. the nra's own position used to be that we should have background checks. they agreed with 90% of the american public. and, of course, we need to do that, and i'm very proud of this president. and this vice president. for taking this -- this cause on. not backing away when things are a little dim, they're coming out swinging. and i'm with them. >> let's listen to more of what the president had to say today. >> there are some powerful voices on the other side interested in running out the clock or changing the subject or drowning out the majority of the american people to prevent any of these reforms fro

do we have really that type of bonding capacity. it would be good to have perhaps the controllers office does a lot around the financing and from the p u c at those levels based on a program that is still not providing actual generation of electricity at the local level. it would be great to have answered for us at the next meeting about what kind of bonding capacity we have. rpi local power has provided some analysis about build out. i think it's not something we have discussed today but important look at. we did have a party to look at it's feedback and viability and if there is anyway for a preliminary discussion by the next meeting would be important. those are my thoughts. colleagues if you have any other comments to add? >> thank you, mr. chair. again i want to thank the president of the commission and all the commission members for being here. also to both the p u c general manager and the sflafco staff. this is a very complicated subject matter and i know there are very strong opinions on different sides of this issue. the r

and you realize that the capacity of these intersections are a lot lower than any capacity of lanes that are on the stretches of roads. so it's only a parking place for cars on to the next traffic light or intersection. so it's only convincing the people to realize that there will be hardly any sacrifice if there will be face given over to cyclists. one thing and that's also the problem with being in the downturn because there is also safe by numbers. in the netherlands, cycling is inherently more safe than in

the fact that he took responsibility for his mistake and is prepared to serve in this capacity, i think is something that i'm willing to do as a result of my personal experience of working with him in the community, his involvement when there was not necessarily anything i could have done for him as someone who is not on the board of supervisors but someone running a non-profit in the community and i will definitely support him today and because of the compassion that he's demonstrated with working in my community, i think he'll bring the same compassion to the port and i hope it's open to the folks of the western district community. thank you. >> supervisor cohen? >> thank you very much, mr. president. i would like to say what happened in the rules committee. i was surprised there's not one person who came to voice their opposition in the appointment of mel murphy nor anyone in the hearing indicated they were interested in seeing mr. murphy continue. it's very interest public process. now we are here at the full board and we have a couple e-mails in the past week of handful of constitu

, of what is the existing and might need to be reconsidered together, with the ultimate care and capacity of this city, in terms of land, height, density, soils, water, sewer and everything else that comes with it, together projecting the healthy, functioning, 21st century transportation system which supports all of us. >> commissioner antonini? >> just, a couple of final thoughts. the whole issue that was broughting up that increasingly, that speaks to the whole trend, another thing that was brought up, is the population of san francisco, and it is always changing, and the one thing that i am optimistic about, is in the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s the family woulds live her their entire life and the children go to school here and generation after generation would stay in san francisco. and we had if there is not a tendency for people having to leave the city for work, i think that you will see more families staying and people staying through the whole generation and maybe that is optimism and cultural and economic diversety, i think that as the new jobs are created we create another economy, f

i try to convince them to recognize that the large magazine capacity -- large capacity magazines is an inconvenience but a lot of people in urban areas think 30 to 40% of police officers killed in the line of duty are killed from high-capacity magazines. >> i'm sure the debate will continue to go on in capitol hill and in your state. thank you so much for joining us today. >> you bet. pleasure. >>> politicians always promise the best care to american war vets, but they don't always deliver. >> every day the secretary comes in and says i'm going to break the backlog and then the next guy comes in and says i'm going to break the backlog. it hasn't happened yet. the critics say he hasn't done enough to eliminate the mounds of paperwork keeping vets from their disability benefits. quily with air channels to let boo boos breathe.

number one, about the capacity of the clip. one bullet in the hands of a mental he disturbed person or felon, a gang member is one too many. there are thousands of these high-capacity clips in circulation today. but i could see a situation where an individual citizen would need more than six bullets or 10. most assaults, not most, a third of the assaults that occur are by more than one perpetrator. i go back to the situation of the lady in atlanta a couple months ago. a man broke in her home. she was at home with her twin daughters. he had just gotten out of jail with a crowbar. she went to the second floor of the house and hid in a closet. on the phone with her husband. she had a .38 reinvolver she hit him five or six times. he got up and drove away. thank god there weren't two. in that situation, it wouldn't bother me at all, senator feinstein, if she had 30 or 100 bullets. it disturbs me what happened in connecticut with any kind of weapon or magazine. how do you interrupt the shooter? the theory if you limit the size or the

the capacity discipline has been incredibly valuable.hat we've learned that united, we've learned capacity, discipline is profit maximizing. you put too much capacity against too little demand any drive you yourselves out of business. capacity discipline has an incredible value and efficiency is the consolidation not only in terms of revenue centers, but the cost efficiencies are important in a consolidating business. also, airlines are now run by professional management. today we are very focused on earning returns in excess of our cost of capital. were very focused i came to the point where we can do love our balance sheet. were actually generating enough cash that ultimately we will return the cash to its owners. the owners are not the airlines. our shareholders have been very, very good about holding our feet to the fire them as a result of the transformation to consolidation through capacity discipline towards management focused on running a business and not airline. we do not have any more of my runway is longer than yours. that is

in three ways, one our capacity to access data related to behavior or discipline -- the waiver now and finally the data that we do have we're not using adequately to -- or consistently to make decisions around how we address behavior issues or how we plan programs this might support children's needs in the behavior and emotional arena. this next slide is a little difficult to read, but if you look at your handout on the left side it lists evidence that he put together through all of his review of the data we submitted and on the right it's his inferences of lewd cause out of those evidence based on data. one of which was lack of [inaudible] process as we just talked about and on the right lewd cause is [inaudible] general education for students with behavior issues, lack of resources for the teachers, professional capacity of the teachers. he stressed the need for incorporating the need for multicultural and awareness within all the other interventions we might think of using. the 504 system as we talked about the code of conduct and such and the review of previous slide. based on the

administered to focus groups at 16 schools on various issues from what they thought professional capacity was at the schools, to attitudes towards inclusive practices, attitudes towards students of underserved populations. we happen to have [inaudible] part of that so we had data from those surveys as well around inclusive practices and around attitudes towards supporting behavior of /staoupbtds within the general education seting. we also provide edd with district wide data that we worked with the rpa department to /aeu /kwaeur including early indicator data, counselor office referrals, achievement data and also demographic data around our student population. and the third prong with special education data -- we have an ed panel that we have talked about before where every psychologist who is assess ing ing a subject is required to bring the case to an ed panel and go through a review process before making a determination. we also looked across the [inaudible] pattern across the district. no one school or psychologist stood out so there were no clear patterns that emerged from there. and

and he had ten high capacity 30-round magazines that he used to get off so many bullets in such a short time to kill the children and the adults in that school. as one parent will me today, he was armed, adam lanza was armed to the teeth. we knew it was, we didn't know it was quite this much. in addition to that, as you mentioned, there are hundreds of rounds of ammunition found in the home. there were multiple weapons, military style clothing. by the way, he was wearing military style clothing that day. and a body vest that is described in the documents. and in addition, we have other material in there. there are references to an fbi interview with a friend or an associate of adam lanza. someone who knew him who described him as a loner. somebody who rarely left his home. was an avid gamer, playing video games, and in a rather puzzling comment, they said sandy hook elementary school was adam lanza's life. we're talking about a 20-year-old here and how it is that an elementary school could be his life is one of the many still unanswered puzzling questions about this case. >> and as i me

so i think there is room for compromise on that measure, as well as on high-capacity magazines.now, the shock and horror of newtown is still very much with our nation. it changed us, as a people, i think. and you were there, candy, in the wake of that horror, that sunday after the friday, when the unspeakable tragedy of those 20 beautiful children and sixth grade educators being gunned down by someone who used a high-capacity magazine. in fact, we know now, from the revelations of just this past week, that he left behind, the shooter in that instance, left behind the smaller capacity magazines and took with him the 30-round clips, because he knew he could use them to gun them down and he did, 154 rounds in about five minutes. >> senator, let me ask you, under the bill that we are expecting senator reid to put on the floor, there is not any kind of limitation on those magazines. there is not a ban on assault weapons, however you might describe those. there may or may not be an expansion of registration -- or, i'm sorry, an expansion of background checks. how would anything in the
