dan adams. brian chu. and i'm sorry -- will be making the presentations today. if you do choose to adopt the procedures manual, we'll go into the associated ordinances as the next item. >> good afternoon, commissioners we have divide up our presentation into two segments. i am here just to give a brief overview of some of the demographics of the program that was requested last time and dan adams will come up and walk you through some of the small changes and additions that have been made in the procedures manual between the time of the last informational meeting and today's meeting. and i do have some handouts i can leave with you for some of the information that i'm going to talk to you today. you had asked for general information about the number of units in our program and who is in our units? so briefly, we have approximately 1280 completed units in our bmr program. of those approximately 860 are ownership units and 420 are rental units. again i have all of this on a handout that i will give for you for a total of 1280. we have an additional 1200 units in th

>> good afternoon, dan adams with the mayor's office of housing. very happy to be here to submit your approval for the procedures manual for inclusion. we were here before you for an informational update and during that hearing my colleague sandra egan did a good job. i have a more narrow task, which is good because i have a much more narrow skillset in that area. so i will read through the minor modifications that have happened since the last hearing. we have done additional outreach. we have gotten some input from other stakeholders, internal that have generated a few reviews to the manual. again the housing trust fund -- the passage of the housing trust fund will generate some modifications to the manual and we plan on come back to you next year for that update. this update doesn't contemplate or contradict any of the housing trust fund work. i'm going to refer to a memo included in your packet, which outlines the few changes that have happened since the last hearing. the first there was a clarification had a we made that bmr on-site ownership w

dan. adam. >> hello, adam. >> can you see him, doc? >> dr.lund's only examination of adam came by teleconference. ecklund didn't know we were watching. >> do you think it would help him, you know, make him improve? >> i think it's likely to help him, yes. i would say... 75% chance that it--that he would have a noticeable improvement. >> ecklund proposed four treatments costing a total of $20,000. the sussers asked ecklund to treat adam near their florida home. >> again, my concern would be the legalities of it. >> he's right to be concerned. it would be a felony to use stem cells in an unapproved therapy or to sell them for export to the u.s. that's why we were surprised to see this on many websites: a shopping cart. we clicked on ecklund's stem tech labs cart, and, with no medical or scientific credentials, we bought 20 million umbilical cord stem cells for $5,000, shipped to america. we had the cells sent by the highest medical standard. duke university suggested we use something called a dry shipper, cooled with liquid nitrogen. we sent th

adam and dan are with us once again. the first one comes from cristina, and she writes. busy four-year-old business sharpening knives, scissors, bonsai tools and garden tools. i have recently ines business sales. do you think it's good to have an internet store. i do not have experience designing or developing one. >> well, i would certainly recommend she not design one and find something off the shelf and let someone else deal with all the nuances of that. you can go down that rabbit hole in building your own. e-commercial solution is an incredibly costly thing and you've got to be doing it for a reason. >> what do you think, dan? what about starting on et ceteracy or ebay or something? >> you can think of that as you would, say, an electrical utility or plumbing system. do you want to do that all by yourself? no, you've got a business to run. i would try that off the shelf. one of the other things, for scheduling knife sharpening, some kind of off-the-shelf scheduling software that would free up the staff to probably taking appointments via telephone. >> yes, okay. you

adam and dan are with us gent. christina writes i own a busy 4-year-old business sharpening naives, scissors, bone say tools and garden tools. i have increased retail sales. would it be a good decision for me to have an internet store? i don't have any experience. >> i would recommend she not design one and find something off the shelf and let someone else deal with the nuances of that. you can go down the rabbit hole, and an e-solution can be incredible costly. >> what about starting on etsy or ebay. >> think of this as you would say an electrical utility or plumbing system. you want to do that yourself? no, have you a business to run. i would try something off the shelf and other thing, since some of her business is service business, scheduling this knife sharpenings, some kind of off the shelf schedules software. >> all right, yeah, you're right. this is sharpening. she wouldn't sell something. yes, okay, you're both right. how easy is that to find? >> it's really easy. you listed a couple of good options there

in fact adam ga dan the al qaeda spokesman came out trying to refute the report. but all of the people on the web in all of the muslim web sites saw the rigorousness and saw what was really happening with al qaeda that they were killing many more muslims than westerners in their attacks. finally, as a result of the work we were doing, when the documents that were captured when osama bin laden was killed, the decision was made to give those document oferse to the combat terrorism center where they were declassified so we could look in detail about what was happening and the state of mind of osama bin laden as he was trying to get control of al qaeda as it got more and more diffuse and more and more attacking of civilians. so in fact, probably the best credit to this and i'll play this just briefly. this is the number one person in al qaeda, at this time he was number two, that spent many of his videos and this is how they communicate. this is an actual al qaeda video. i'll speak over it because most of you don't understand the arabic. he is reading and this is thei

short 20 million shares and he is adamant the company will not survive once everything about it is known. in the other corner of this business section boxing match, is danmanager of third point. like ackerman runs billions of dollars and the last filings, owns more than 8% of herbalife. even though it has had a magnificent move. who do i sympathy right? you know me. i don't care. i avoid battleground like the plague. don't buy. and i want you to avoid battleground too. why? because they are dangerous places that cost me a lot of money over the years. that's what they do. in the last few days, i'm thinking the balance of power in this battle has shifted toward loeb and the longs versus ackman's short bid. herbalife declined 1.54 on an up day for the market after herbalife announced better than expected earnings. what's happening? why am i not dissuaded? the accusation that it's one big pyramid scheme is the need for some entity in the u.s. government or state government to take up the cause. i don't think that the stock can go to zero unless the justice department attempts to shut it down. he it's clear that ackman himself needs to have the help of the g

this committee, but we could not do it without [inaudible] sandy adams of florida, still young enough to continue her fight for nasa. dan made the mistake of opening up questions, and the way the russians ask questions, they make a 15 minute speech, but after the speech they said, if you love us so much, why do you still have all those guns pointed towards us? dan and i were way back away from them. there was a rail between us. they couldn't hear what i said to him. i said, tell the s.o.b. i don't trust him. he said they would run both of us out there. his son is a very fine young man, did a wonderful job as vice chairman of this committee. we will miss the young man. how do you lose a guy like jeff cravaack? very knowledgeable, fought for everything that was right. he served with me on -- i believe we served together on the transportation committee. is lynn here yet? she is not here. brad miller of north carolina. i have learned something from him, several things. he goes back to one of the better law practices in north carolina. all my folks from cannon mills, kannapolis. you are young enough to come back. i wish you

dan lothian reporting live. we'll get back to you. >>> delivering today's sermon, a man with midwestern roots, reverend adam hamilton. largest methodist church in the country. grown to more than 18,000 parishioners. reverend hamilton an accomplished author writing more than a dozen books and he will not shy away from hot button issues like homosexuality. >> i would probably still find myself more on the conservative side of this issue were it not for all of the people i've met. >> he'll tackle another controversial issue, but this one is from 150 years ago. his 15-minute speech chosen by reverend hamilton himself will focus on the 150th anniversary of the emancipation proclamation. despite preaching in front of a thousand each weekend, the reverend says he's a little bit nervous for today. the inaugural prayer service scheduled to start in 25 minutes. we'll take you back there when it starts. >>> here's another sign of the times. 40 years ago americans were fighting in vietnam, watergate was a bungled burglary and the landmark case, roe v. wade still divides and inflames generations years later. legal rights versus m
