has not been covered with the sound insulated cover, structure, rather, and that should reduce the db's. president peterson: why do we not go with you vote? secretary pacheco: the motion is to continue until february 16, 2011, to allow for the permit holder to conduct additional acoustical tests and review permit issues. additional briefing is allowed at three pages per party. it is due prior. on that notion, commissioner fung, vice president goh, commissioner garcia, president peterson. the motion is continued. president peterson: mr. pacheco, thank you. we are ready to call item no. 7. secretary pacheco: i think he has another question about the directive? president peterson: the parties have left. you can call me. here is my card. secretary pacheco: item number seven, appeal no. 10-110, john horvers and f. joseph butler, 1269 lombard, versus the zone in the administrator, protesting the grading on a two-for-one, 2010, for the rear yard variance disconcerting demolishing the existing two story single- family building and constructing two new buildings at front and near -- we are of a

entering into channel-sharing arrangements would retain their rights to mandatory carriage on cable and dbs systems. the proposed sharing rules would neither increase nor decrease the carriage rights of any broadcaster on any type of multiple video distribution system. finally, the notice proposes to create value for television viewers and broadcasters by increasing the utility of the vhf bands for the operation of television services. the goal in this initiative is to resolve digital broadcast reception problems in the vhf bands. the notice specifically proposes to increase the maximum power allowed for vhf stations subject to avoidance of interference to other services and to establish minimum performance standards for indoor antennas. these actions will lay the groundwork for the goals set in the national broadband plan to make available up to 120 megahertz from the broadcast television bands for new wireless broadband services. they would pave the way for future actions by which the commission could propose plans for recovery of tv spectrum including service, licensing and auctionables

a place that is to triple sevens with three ts db matches per passenger, that's very high on the list and so those are the ways we look at where we should send people and ensure that we get two of those locations in a reasonable amount of time to ensure the security posture at those locations continues to meet the standards we've identified. >> the other issue, mr. principato, perhaps you could respond to this is you represent airports in the united states, correct? and you know, we understand that we have standards here that we expect to be implemented across the country and in a similar fashion. and it is also the case, with respect to aviation safety or environmental standards, any number of things, that you can add whatever standard you want a paper i'm writing. the question is are they implemented and how are they enforced? can you give me your assessment based on the meetings you have held at international airports and partners abroad, what is the notion of the enforcement of standards as you see it? what should we believe exist out there with respect to the enforcement standard

permanent residence to the airlifted haitian orphans this legislation completes the humanitarian endover db endeavor launched by homeland security and helps the future of children who have suffered a great deal. the house has already passed the fortenberry bill by voice vote. the senate made minor changes and has passed the bill by unanimous consent. i know personally how important this bill is to the children and families of this country are. the parker family from my district this kingwood, texas, contacted my office shortly after the earthquake that devastated haiti to get help in finalizing the adoption of their son. before the earthquake, the parker family was in the process of adopting a young haitian named ronnell. prior to the earthquake, he was approved to go to the united states. fearing for his safety, mr. parker flew to port-au-prince and slept on the floor of the united states embassy for several days as he haggled with united states and haitian authorities to permit the adoption. finally the adoption was permitted and ronnell was allowed to fly to his new home in kingwood, tex

that was db policy, but we are here. we have to get out of it.scary is what happens to the projections of the federal deficit and rising debt as you look beyond the recession, as the economy recovers. we are facing a budget deficit that does not go down. it keeps going up, and a debt that rises off the charts. and that is driven by the demographics, the aging population, and more importantly, by our taste for expensive medical care, which we have. we have to recognize that we have it and we needed. and the combination in the federal budget drives spending up faster than revenue can possibly go. and we are borrowing back, i believe half of it from the rest of the world. people say, the japanese, they have a hired jett -- debt to gdp ratio. but they owe themselves. we owe it in large part to the rest of the world. if you think about competition going forward in in the world with the chinese, i would submit that the first thing that we need is a strong, growing, resilient american economy. the second thing we need is a not to be dependent our man o

db was it a dumb gift?s it a was a gift he shouldn't have except it? you bet. but the framers thought it was fmers important to define things as they are. this isn't a bright and it isn't a kickback and that is the key thing in looking at this impeachment. the appearance of impropriety is a standard race to federal courts and not uncommon, thesa court of appeals will disagree with trial judges refuse tos are recuse themselves, hundreds oftimes the m judge or faced with recusal re motions. sometimes they make mistakes. recusals are usually based on past relationships financial interests, they defend over theionships entire waterfront of conflicts. when the judge gets it wrong usually that's a it's just a a reversal. sometimes you have a reprimand,ave very rarely will you have any discipline at all. but consider the implications ofrance accepting the appearance of of impropriety is a standard forndar the removal.o that this could be so easily used to strip the courts and appearance of impropriety is what we're that what we are going tother h substitute other high

extremely conservative interests who were backed by corporate money and shadow groups like crossroads dbs. if corporate interests take control of congress, we are going to see a return --you saw this with paul ryan and some of the policies that were being pushed. there will be a return to wish tax policies that got us into this mess in the first place. there would be a reverse on major reforms. there would be a push for a policy that would continue the inequities that would hurt our income, the job creation, and the middle class. we are looking at policy that would hurt seniors. the social pact was made many years ago with our seniors. it is in deep jeopardy of policies are enacted by many of the republicans elected in this psycho -- this cycle. i want to point out a couple of things in each of the races. first up is sharron angle in nevada. let's see if this works. dangerous angle's ideas will make life worse at every stage. if she was raped and got pregnant, sharron angle would make her have the baby. at retirement, wrote to her -- her social security would be phased out. it would be wo
