>> yes. >> can we get clarity of that? >> it is going up two decimal places, so it might be 4.00 or - 5.006 or something like that, and then rounding down. >> we need to look at it. >> we need to look at it and take it out to further decimal places. >> let me be clear. the way i have this figured -- >> hold on, hold on. >> clearly there is a calculation question. if, however, task force determined not to make the change, it is not a relative question. let's first take the question up on whether to make the change, and then we can determine in making the change that we have to account for it or compensate for it in some other shift. the question before us now is whether or not to make this change. >> yes, and i had a proposal. >> great, thank you. >> yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> no. >> no. >> thank you. please make this change. >> just a second. we are going to make the changes. >> we put three decimal points on. -5.001%. >> please. >> i suggest that the task force errs on the side of caution and keeps it at or u

we will get clarity there and also some clarity out of europe. we are starting to get a crescendo of aggravation, all of this spain getting money, but is it enough money? now right on the heels of them getting money we're talking about italy. now greece talking about maybe we'll close down borders and you'll need visas. all those things that happen at the last throes of negotiations. remember, once someone writes a check, ie germany or someone accepts the result, ie greece, the negotiations are over. your most strength is to do it now. you will get a lot of this big headline risk over the next couple of months. i believe we're in the late innings and closing in on some sort of clarity so at least investors can start making the bets they want to make. the number one thing markets do not like is uncertainty. so if he can get clarity, you will see the markets gain footing as people decide where to place bets. >> you really think we will get -- the clarity we're talking about is political clarity. you think we'll get some political clarity, do you? >

part of the reason for joining this treaty as i understand it is to have that clarity about our extended continental shelf, but right now the estimates are continental shelf we would have exclusive rights to could conceivably be as high as 1 million square kilometers, an area about twice the size of california, nearly half of the louisiana purchase. what we're looking at here, are we not, is the opportunity for us to in fact gain exclusivity and gain clarity with respect to exploited the rights over this vast area of additional land mass to the united states, is that accurate? >> yes, sir. >> and can you sort of explain -- some people say, what the heck? we got the strongest navy in the world. we're paying a lot of money for it. nobody is going to stand up to us. we'll just go out and do what we want to do and need to do and if somebody gets in our way, we'll enforce it. what's wrong with that? >> there are a couple things. specifically related to the continental shelf, notwithstanding the potential economic benefits which i think would be cover in a different setting for the committee,

you cannot have it both ways and i think this offers us an opportunity for clarity as to what the bill is actually about, instead of being at the mercy of it. $200 million negative campaign of misrepresentations, somewh would call them others things, that they put out there that created such a screen of confusion that it's hard to talk about what the bill does. but now that we have a decision, and they're talking about overturning it, we can say with clarity, this is what the bill does, this is what they want to take away from you, this is how they want to increase your cost and let the public decide. thank you all very much. thank you. >> at just about 4:00 eastern, a recap of events of the day. about 10:15 a.m. eastern, the supreme court released its decision on the health care law. the final decision upheld the entire act with some limits on the medicaid portion of the bill. chief justice john roberts was the crucial fifth vote of the majority opinion. we're bringing you full details on the health care decision with reaction from the white house, congress and a statement by presiden

>> that was my moment of clarity. i'm a little offended. >> you're the exception? >> not just myself. i agree largely with your assessment. >> all right. >> america's fighting both sides of the war in afghanistan. around here that's -- >> we're paying the taliban. we're losing a game of solitaire. >> but we're doing it in a way that it goes on forever. massive industrial prison complex, around here, this is russell simmons, david kennedy, ben chavez. >> we have 25% of the world's prisoners in our country. and furthermore, if it keeps increasing at this level, like in 50 years, we're all going to be in prison if it keeps increasing at this rate. >> the growth rate predicts 100% imprisonment by when? >> like 50 years or something. >> so who cares about social security? >> cannotexactly. that's one way to solve the problem, right? put everyone in jail. >> there are 900 u.s. military bases around the world. we don't talk about that, and they are everywhere. what's your rip on this? >> my rip is that it's insane and the am

clarity is rewarded in politics. governor walker can tell you that in wisconsin. governor kristi can say that in new jersey. clarity is rewarded in politics. the last thing governor romney needs is advice from a new guy. the last thing out of my mouth before i take questions is this. i think the american people are ready to hear the call. i think they are ready to hear the man who would lead us and tell us we can control our own destiny. not madrid or athens. we can control our own destiny and i think people have since talked to them again.

i think that it is -- again, further to that point i think the house language has more clarity that we wrote in our original bill and addresses that, but 100% of the funds and medicaid has matching elements to it, but not as far as the expansion of medicaid in this bill. i think we're not bothered at all by the decision in regard to medicaid and we think that most governors will probably accept 100% funding without matching funds. >> yes, sir? >> do you believe in walking out of the house chambers today? >> thank you for bringing up the contempt of congress. i do have some things to say about that. it would be mischievou mischiev mischievous of me -- what am i trying to say? you would think it was a matter of mischief that i said i don't think there's any coincidence that this was taken up on the same day that the supreme court decision came down. i just -- it's just too much of a coincidence especially when you think that the motion of contempt only was passed on the committee one week ago. what the republicans are doing with this motion on the floor today is contemptible, even for th

walker can tell you that in wisconsin, governor christie can tell you that in new jersey, clarity is rewarded in politics. and the last thing governor romney needs is advice from a new guy. but the last thing out of my mouth before i take questions is this, i think the american people are ready to hear a clarion call. i think they are ready to hear the man who would lead us tell us that we can control our own destiny. not madrid or athens, we can control our own destiny, and i think people are ready to have sense talked to them again. that is my little speech at the outset, with that said, i'm going to take some questions and be mindful of the time and going to start with this gentleman. and everyone who -- introduce yourselves so i know who you are. >> oh. all right, so, congressman, i wanted to see, there's been a lot of criticism of eric holter over the last year or so, a lot of people are calling for him to resign, and i know you were one of the ones as a democrat that was one of the ones with congressman -- leading the charge against attorney general gonzalez, do you still have

we believe with proper implementation, it will provide yvette rans and families with clarity about their divisional choices. we believe that this order compliments several more robust legislative initiatives under consideration in the house and the senate. by signing this executive order, the president has initiated a process that if addressed by legislation alone the various agencies would have had to wait months to begin working on. we firmly believe that sound implementation of this executive ord we are passage of bills offered by this commit teen and in the senate provide timely clarity of student veterans about educational choices. however, to achieve success we must address two questions. who are the outcomes consumers need to make sound choices? how are benefits and or federal aid, how will they pay for education that veterans and service members need? for most students choosing a school is simply not a data-driven process. this is largely due to the lack of consumer information available to students. while schools report hundreds of data points to college navigator it's not a too

they have a big incentive to add as much clarity to those plans as early as they can. and they can help with confidence to have the major players in europe state with their intentions are. even if it's going to take a little time to negotiate the details. that can be re-assuring. i think what you're going to see at the g-20 and after even ahead of their summit you're going to see the world look still to germany and other major players for them to lay out a little more clarity. what these broad objectives mean on banking union on a firewall for the reforming countries and on the growth stuff. i think more clarity there would be better sooner. >> right here. >> so following up on the last question, mr. secretary, you named -- listed three things. banking union, growth, i can't remember what the third one is. firewalls. support mechanism. and you said that's what has to come out of the summit. >> out of their summit. >> right. >> i was that i canning their words, their plans, their elements. >> are you confident that you'll get all three if i may put it that way? >> what

. >> can i add clarity around my list? mr. mcdonnell: you don't have to. >> at 11:30 at night, i drafted neighborhoods, glancing at the map and sort of generally guessing. for instance, central richmond, as somebody lives in that area, i suggested those. i do think there is a slight difference as opposed to the richmond. just want to clarify that. >> one last note on what i submitted. if there is no parentheses with a note at the end, it is just the neighborhood boundaries, unless otherwise noted. mr. mcdonnell: is everybody clear on what we're looking at? mr. schreiber: i just had a suggestion that to the extent we use the consultants list rather than ms. tidwell's, that we remove the parent pedicles -- parentheticals for consistency. there will not be some in some districts but not others. mr. mcdonnell: a of the purpose of the parenthetical thoughts was for definition purposes. >> there are findings as to neighborhoods. mr. mcdonnell: jamie? the inclusion of the parentheticals were for what purpose? >> for task force member

i think more clarity there would be better sooner. >> right here. yeah. >> sorry. ted truman, peterson institute for international economics. following up on the last question, mr. secretary, you named three -- listed three things. banking union, growth -- i can't remember what the third one is. fire walls. support mechanism. and implicitly you said that's what has to come out of the summit. >> out of their summit. >> out of their summit, right? >> i was taking their words, their plans, their elements. >> are you confident that you'll get all three, if i may put it that way? >> what they're saying -- >> let me finish the question, mr. secretary. >> when we were together, you interrupted me all the time. >> this time i'm going to give you the last word. are you confident, and what -- you know, and what -- i think this reflects the general questions out of europe here this afternoon, what is the risk that if they -- they're falling short, and what -- and what -- i think this goes to the consequences, including for the broader financial system, including our own. than

at least over the near term until more clarity is given on a number of fronts.the downgrade. it will make their cost of capital go up. it puts increased pressure on the big bank earnings, and it could trigger a collateral call for each bank in the billions. talking about morgan stanley as an example. when i interviewed citigroup's ceo, he pushed out all capital deployment for another year. he even pushed out any expectation of the company paying a dividends by telling me he will not even decide what to do about dividends until the end of this year. it will be at least 2013. then of course is the regulatory environment. many parts of dodd-frank are still being written as we speak, including the effort to try and define proprietary trading and ban it. i have said in the past, i do not believe they will be able to define it. it's very tough to define it, making this key aspect of the law impossible to enforce. but until that's actually sorted out and the banking sector actually understands and has a clear idea of where this regulatory environment goes, we could be

to ensure that we have clarity.ing actions to address the legitimate concerns that have been expressed. but the fact is that this is an issue that congress and the administration needs to address in the authorizing process to clarify it. this is not an issue. there should be continued inperpetuity through the appropriations process and therefore again i strongly support the gentleman's amendment. would yield back my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania rise? >> move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. shuster: i rise in support of the amendment and urge my colleagues to support a clarification of the clean water -- mr. fitzpatrick: administrators from the e.p.a. from william riley to russell train have all expressed support for protecting our streams, rivers, wetlands, lakes, and other waters of the united states from pollution and from destruction. the rider in this bill will in my

even when we have clarity regarding what has been adopted by the state for the year ahead, there will be continued uncertainty through the end of november. supervisor avalos: we are looking at -- we do not have the details of the current capital budget yet, but we have another variable from possible revenue passed in a member. >> it is very hard to guess. we have $50 million adopted. ultimately, the city withdrew the majority of those funds. in the current year we have budget cuts adopted last summer. a lot of these reductions would have had a severe impact on the city and county. some of it may be resolved in the year ahead. it is very difficult to guess what the future might hold, given the wild card of a revenue measure on the ballot, given their recent history of having cuts adopted and blocked. it really is anyone's guess. i will say that the second year did not contain state reserve, of course. almost certainly we will have a reduction in year two. there will be choices in the second year, you will be reviewing it again next year. do you want to add money to that reserve in the

this order will provide veterans and their families with clarity. by signing this order, the president has initiated a process that the vairias agencies would have had to wait months to again working on. we believe that this will provide timely clarity for student veterans. how will they pay for education that veterans and service members need? how will they pay for their education. while schools are required to report hundreds of data points to the college navigate tore, it does not put that into a tool. even a review of it exposes broad issues in the information that is reported to the department of education. often the data doesn't match up and there are school that is use this confusion to hide performance. although i don't believe that the ordinance will clean up bad reporting it will expose schools that might not be entirely on the level. we must tie that data to a tool that student veterans can use to determine what benefits another aid they are eligible for and how they are able to pay for their education. we have produced a gi bill calculat

i thought what this market really needs was clarity, and what we keep getting is no clarity. yesterday with the eu. we didn't really get any clarity. with bernanke, the same thing no, clarity, so it's hard to really feel -- really feel great about putting money out there, but to me i think what we have to do is just pick prices, put a bid out there and -- and i know i'm never going to pick the bottom and just live with it if it's a price that i want to own, it i will. >> dr. j, what was your reaction to the market-to-today when it comes to positioning ahead of these events? >> number one, bernanke kept his powder dry. he could make some sort of a statement, and he's very aware that if he does, he'd move markets and he'd rather hold for that when it's needed. he didn't have to today because of china and because, quite frankly, gasoline prices adjusting as they have and so forth. both of those are positives. also, i think you've got the potential for the nervousness ahead of, of course, the election that's just over a week away in greece. a lot of traders are focused on that, a

we have been working with the supervisor's office to provide additional clarity. now i will talk about our proposed modifications which are -- we can categorized into three main categories. first, modifications for sign improvement. and we are proposing to fix signage at existing popos that are non-compliant. and modifications to consolidation of the code. staff recommends to move all the details and graphics to a new zoning bulletin. we propose to have this new bulletin, no. 8, that would include all the details, requirements for graphics for the signage. this would keep the code language clean and concise and at the same time, it would allow [unintelligible] of the plan design. this is not up for a decision today. it is still in progress. i included it to show how much detail we are going through. in our recommendation. i am providing -- staff recommendation just for easy review. items a, b, and c are about improvements. the existing legislation requires 24 by 24 size. we are proposing to create a tool kit and make it available for project sponsors and property

i want to read you this because it provides some clarity for why i'm a pebble in an ocean of change. one lady wrote me, i figured out in the middle of the worst economy in my life, how to start a business and make money. and i just paid one third of what i earn not to my kid's college savings or my retirement but to the federal government and i'm tired of being told i didn't pay my fair share. another guy wrote me again and this person identified himself as an obama supporter four years ago. his employers sent out a notice that it is shifting to a higher deductible plan that provides benefits than ones that exist today. they told me their reforms wouldn't change my insurance. why did they lie to me? another guy said that he volunteers in the obama campaign. here is what he wrote. i'm tired of being told if i want the worst teachers out of my kids school and want state employees to pay for their retirement the same as i do, that it means i hate teachers and despise public service. finally, another gentleman said i voted for obama because he said business was usual is over in washingto

as this week rose a long and into next week, there will be greater clarity, but we do not have much more than we did two weeks ago. >> at the capitol this is based on past revenue as well? does that create any uncertainty about the size of reserve? >> there is very little hinged in the facebook -- in the budget before you. there is no assumption. supervisor avalos: state ballot measures? >> i apologize. the single largest bloc remains the governor an alternative revenue. even when we have clarity regarding what has been adopted by the state for the year ahead, there will be continued uncertainty through the end of november. supervisor avalos: we are looking at -- we do not have the details of the current capital budget yet, but we have another variable from possible revenue passed in a member. >> it is very hard to guess. we have $50 million adopted. ultimately, the city withdrew the majority of those funds. in the current year we have budget cuts adopted last summer. a lot of these reductions would have had a severe impact on the city and county. some of it may be resolved in the year a

one thing the court is supposed to be is resolve issues, provide clarity and in doing so, eliminate the uncertainty. we left the courtroom yesterday with very little more clarity and ongoing uncertainty, feeling that little was accomplished in yesterday's decision. another problem that we're going to see from the practical level concerns physicians. i've talked to countless physicians in all corners across the state of texas who have told me that because of obamacare, they are going to get out of the practice of medicine. i have yet to find a single person and i challenge people in this room to identify anyone who says because of obamacare, they are going to get into the practice of medicine. you're not going to find it. this is the problem that it raises. what obamacare really is going to do, it's going to force more people into the public health care system at a time when there's going to be fewer physicians providing the health care for those people, so you have greater demand for services, less supply of people providing those services, you're going to have a lot of unmet health car

. >> i think this offs us an opportunity for clarity as to -- offers us an opportunity for clarity as to what the bill is actually. about. >> reporter: republican house leaders say they're more determined than ever. >> republican health reforms will assure the families and doctors make healthcare decisions and not bereaucrats here in washington. >> reporter: the mouse set a repeal vote for july -- house set a repeal vote for july 11th , but the senate is controlled by democrats meaning this debate will rage at least until the november election. >>> lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are on different sides of the issue. fox 5's john henrehan spoke with both men today. >> reporter: members of the northern virginia technology counsel got a preview of the fall senate campaign in virginia in the form of speeches and q and a from former governors george allen and tim kaine. just outside the meeting kaine, the democrat, defended the president's healthcare reform law and its effects. >> millions of kids are able to stay on their family insurance policies. 20million seniors are getting free

i think that supervisor kim and supervisor avalos have a good point in wanting more clarity in the project, but i would not want to hamper the ability for the real-estate department to be about to finalize those leases and do negotiations. perhaps if i can ask the makers of the motion that there would be willing to intimate -- entertain perhaps half of it being on reserve, so $113,000 on reserve? to the makers of the motion, would that be something you would entertain? ok. so if you can, perhaps what we would like to do -- a seconder. so i will make a motion to reserve $113,000 of that funding on budget committee reserve. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. supervisor chu: we will take that without objection. thank you. our next department is the police department's budget. from my understanding, the bulk of the recommendations are the police department's budget. however, there is one of recommendation, i believe, that is related to the occ, and that is on page 39. correct? >> correct. >> supervisor chu: i would like director hicks. to speak to that item. >> good morning. the police dep

we firmly believe that sound implementation of this executive order, will provide timely clarity for student veterans. in order to achieve success, we must address two questions. what are the outcomes that consumers need to make sound choices and how are benefits, and/or federal aid how will they pay for education that veterans and student members needs. for most choosing a school -- schools are required to report hundreds of data points to college navigator, it does not simple size -- even a cursor review of college favor navigator. when yujing college navigator to compare like programs, the data often doesn't match up. unfortunately some of these schools use -- executive order has been necessarily cleaning up bad reporting it will expose schools that are -- even if this executive order coupled with legislation fixes errors and inconsistencies with student outcome data, we must tie that data to a tool that student veterans can use to determine what benefits or aid they are eligible for and how they're going to use it to help fund their education. nothing like this calculator current

and have a little more clarity, but it won't be the endoof the uncertainty in europe. for us the bigger question is how badly does the uncertainty and the recession in europe, call it whatever with the recession how badly that affects our companies. if not that badly, these will be great places to buy stocks. >> let's move on. one stock that didn't participate in the broader market gains, apple. will they reveal something on the worldwide conference that could give the stock a boost. let's find out from the one and only boy genius and he joins us now with the take on apple's mobile operating system. great to see you. you have a list of different features you think the mobile os will have? what's top on the list? >> it's more of an apple refining and making it more like an actual os and not a mobile os. a lot of stocks are changing the colors of the theme. there was a public spat and switching to mapping their own solution. the heavy plan 3d and ease of use and possibly location-based services and profiles. they are updating it and upgrading at the same time. >> more ev

>> the republicans have said that this decision raises the stakes for the election and brings clarity and even an opportunity for them. do you think it is dangerous for the democrats to have it reopen in this election in the second year? >> i think we all have to take a step back and say why are we here? we are here to do a job for the american people. we are here to act upon our beliefs and a belief that many of us shared is that health care is a right and not a privilege in our country. we believe that health care bill needed to be passed so that families would not be -- because they have a diagnosis or an accident that heap health care costs on them. we believe it's about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that people can now pursue their aspirations depending on their talents and again, their aspirations without being job locked because a child has a pre-existing condition and the fear of a diagnosis. they can be a writer, they can start a business. they can be self-employed. they can change jobs. this is about our responsibility to reduce the deficit. if there were no ot

high-yield bonds. >> jim, this market is desperate important some sort of clarity. they are not going to get it any time soon. what do you like here? >> they are not going going to get it now. i'm more defensive. i think it will be the return of capital and return on capital. i would stay probably in short-term treasuries. if you want to be speculative go with gold. i don't expect the market to do much in the next couple of months. one thing about looking at the sentiment numbers which is interesting, a lot of bullishness left market. there hasn't been a rise. everybody is still hoping that somehow there will be a magic announcement out there that will fix all of this. we saw what happened when we wait for magic announcements. they don't work out as well. i think that's why this market will struggle. >> getting tired of that. less and less of it. thank you. nice to see you. >> great to see you. >>> tough day at the office for the bulls. this final hour, we lost a number much points on the dow. bob pass angie our eye on the floor. >> hello. thank you very much. the k

they're adding as much clarity to those plans as early as they can. they can make the major players state what their intentions are even if the take a little time. this can be reassuring. what you're going to see is the world looks still to germany and other major players to lay out more clarity what these broad objectives mean on banking unions and a fire wall for the reforming countries. at the mark parity with the better sooner. >> you listed three things, a banking union, and i remember, firewalls, support mechanisms. you said ask that the summit. are you confident you will get all 3? are you confident? what is the risk that they are falling short? i think this goes for the consequences for the broader financial system including our own. >> i think the states are pretty high. their interest is more powerful than anyone's in trying to avoid that risk. how confident and i? -- am i? they have laid out where they want to go in these dimensions. they put some pretty capable people in charge of trying to design the details of that framework. based on wh
