we're going to talk about that with carry duffy.raig donahue, the cfo since 2004, will step down in december 2012. the board has appointed terry duffy, who is currently executive chairman to the expanded role of executive chairman and president. joining me to talk about that as well as volume in a cnbc exclusive is mr. duffy himself. it's always great to see you. >> thank you, maria. it's great to be here. i love the canadian banks and the canadian sports. i'm a big hockey fan and they are smart business men as well. >> thank you for that. thank you for watching, you guys. all right. you have new expanded roles. what is behind these changes and tell me how your life changes. >> my life gets busier. for craig, he spent 23 years at the firm and benefiting at the cme and benefited by having craig there. there always comes a time where you go through changes and it's been a good transition for everybody. a lot of people don't know pupender gill. gill has been an operational guy but it's been craig, gill, and myself making most of the st

duffy. >> on the revision permit, i did not see the skylights. there was an existing skylight on the original permit and it was to be made bigger on the original permit. they did have an existing skylight before this all started, just to point it out. it is really unfortunate that we do not have the revision permits or plans in front of lust. i do not know why they are not here. i have not a clue that was approved. we are talking about something without seeing a plan. that is difficult for everybody. commissioner fung: in your opinion, the relevancy of the revision permit -- are there elements of its that can be covered by conditions done by this board to the original permit? >> no, i think you are right in what you're saying. it could have been a simple board putting conditions on the original current. the only thing that hasn't come into play about the revision permits is adding skylights. the roof deck was removed on the revision permit, but then they added scalise. i do not know what skylights they are. maybe the language to -- for the existi

duffy. mr. wright, you're recognized. >> mr. chairman, ranking member larsen and members of the subcommittee, my name is george wright. i'm the senior vice president for marine operations for princess cruises. which is a subsidiary of the carnival corporation. on behalf of the entire carnival family, i want to say first of all that we are all deeply saddened by this tragic accident involving the costa concordia. our thoughts and our hearts are with the passengers, the crew, and their families. the safety of our passengers and crew are our top priority. and every day we strive to achieve high levels of safety, and we are committed to intensifying this effort as much as we can. prior to joining princess cruises, i served in the coast guard for 27 years. retiring in the rank of captain. my last assignment was the coast guard captain of the port los angeles/long beach. and we were responsible for all coast guard operations in southern california. my duties varied widely from field operations to headquarters, including serving as a m

duffy. just one last thing. just one last thing. ms. duffy, you have a c-span audience here. what would you say to them, somebody, you got people now, they don't have a lot of money. they're trying to eek out a little vacation. they're probably planning right now for when the kids get out of school. what would you say to them about the cruise industry in light of all that we have heard? this is your moment. >> as i said, on behalf of the industry, that the concordia incident is a terrible tragedy, and the cruise industry does extend our condolences to everybody that was affected. i hope that you can see the industry has been very proactive and transparent in immediately calling for the operational safety review, and that we have already begun to proceed with policies that have been implemented already. the cruise industry remains one of the very safest recreational activities and travel options. if you look at the safety record of the industry over the past decade prior to this incident, and i think we heard from vice admiral salerno this morning, who also spoke to the strong

susan page and mike duffy from "time" magazine. i'm candy crowley and this is "state of the union." >>> first our news of the day. former vice president dick cheney is recover from heart transplant surgery. joining me now for the latest from the hospital is cnn's athena jones. athen athena, do they have any idea how long he might be there? >> reporter: well, we understand that most heart patients who go through a surgery like this end up staying in the hospital for about a month. i should mention that vice president cheney at 71 is on the upper end of the age range of people who get heart transplants, at least according to the international society of heart and lung implantation. his age could play into how long he's kept here under observation, candy. >> certainly this is not the first time, as we all know, he's been hospitalized, maybe the most serious as far as i can tell, but nonetheless, he's had a long history. >> reporter: absolutely. he's had five heart attacks over the course of his life. the first one back in june of 1978

duffy? >> i do not have much to add either. the real hyper code would be 42 inches high. -- the rail height per code would be 42 inches high. i do not see a problem with the gas grill. i think it is far enough from the property line to make code. i am available for any questions. >> thank you. is there any public comment on this item? president garcia: what you think about it? >> i am tina bartlett hinckley -- president garcia: how many people intend to offer public comment? three minutes. >> i am tina bartlett hinckley, and i live at 2775 hilbert street. hopefully you received a letter from me. you will see that the lot is on baker street. i am on filbert street. it isn't unusual cottage at the rear of the law. when this building was offered for sale, they did tout the opportunities of a roof deck. the plan was that the upper unit would get the roof deck and the lower unit would get the backyard. i did go and see the property, and when i went up there i was horrified that i could look out of the back -- can you see this? you c

duffy. >> good evening, commissioners. joseph duffey, dbi. the permit was applied for and properly obtained under -- over the counter. two dwelling units. the only thing i see, it is done on 3 units on that. that is probably not accurate but just for tax purposes. i do not see anything in the brief but is it legal occupancy. as far as i'm concerned, it is a two-unit building based on the permit. if anyone has any questions, i would be happy to answer them. >> is there any public comment? seeing none, commissioners, the matter is submitted. president garcia: i guess the reason it would matter whether or not it was a legal 3 units, if they were to evict this tenant and go to two units, it would represent a dwelling unit merger. different processes would have to take place. there has been no evidence presented that this is anything but two units. there is no evidence presented that anything was not done that should have been done in terms of the notice. i personally look forward to the comments, but i see no reason to grant jurisdiction. commiss

duffy because you mock up the beautiful god you want but the locum you have business them is a tough cookie of look you know christiane a good job. was to let. me look stupid. good women. good so if you're doing this. that eunice yoon revolution has failed to achieve its goals we wanted it to be beneficial to the people we wanted jobs there were half a million people employed most of the revolution to produce freedom and dignity but now we're back to square one many people are homeless those who have a home and live in poverty as you know an. ash referee presents the new generation that emerged during the turbulent arab spring he and the young people like him see protest and defending the gains of the revolution as their main commitment. to his square is the focal point of the revolution in egypt even a year after the resignation of hosni mubarak it is still the center of public attention. but where for most of the stuff fell one way if. it's but. yet she catches. up with the way he did. but. many of those who were involved in the events of february two thousand and eleven have no le

to duffy mcguire, that sound of clocking in is a welcome change. she was hired two weeks ago to work the front desk at this hampton inn. unemployed for six months, mcguire says things are looking up. >> i can't wait for my first paycheck. i'm going to have my hair done, get my nails done. going to buy new shoes. i can't wait to spend luxuriously and freely. it's been a very long time. >> reporter: her turnaround is one of 44,000 new workers in the leisure and hospitality industry, but even with a better than expected jobs number, the unemployment rate stayed at 8.3%, because half a million americans started to apply for jobs again. >> when we post a position online, we'll get anywhere from 200 to 400 resumes per week. >> reporter: that's because it's still difficult to get a job in america, especially for a person who hasn't worked in a while. 5.4 million americans, more than 40% of the unemployed have been out of work for more than six months. >> the bad news is the people who are getting jobs are not the people who lost their jobs at the beginnin

. >> that's christine duffy, president of the cruise line's international association or clia. duffy testified on capitol hill that cruise lines are in compliance with the cruise vessel and security safety act. the organization also issued other statements saying it has an excellent safety record. the industry has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to crime. cruise ships are required to report all allegations of crime to the appropriate law enforcement agencies. and there are ramifications for not properly reporting. lori dishman is now an advocate. she encourages more victims to come forward and says passengers deserve to know how many crimes have been reported. whether they are investigated or not. >> it was hard, when i see someone half may age that has gone through something so traumatic as a rape or sexual assault, and knowing that they were treated similar if not the same as i was. >> how does the rate crime at sea compare to that on land? it's hard to stay. the reporting of incidents is so different. the congresswoman hopes to work with the fbi to change how the agenc

we see there the marriage record -- her name was mary duffy at the time. and here are some hospital records. she went on to become a domestic. she died at boston city hospital in 1871. she was indigent at the time. you'll see there were four cholera victims the week she died. here's her sister -- her sister was katherine brown, at the end of her life. george fredrickson's family. george fredrickson was a border and where he met his life, magdalana. their children, george and katherine, did not live long lives. we see here, katherine fre frickson, the daughter, died of tetanus at age 22. i looked at her husband's census records and there was no child from the first marriage living with he and his second wife. george fredrickson was working as a postal carrier and died in an accident. from "the philadelphia enquirer" we see a newspaper account of his death. i checked to see if there were any pensions at the time. and unfortunately pensions were not issued to postal carriers killed in the line of duty at that point. we see his widow, anna, listed as his widow

duffy. i have a couple questions. one, you mentioned operation and i know that you are conducting a policy review. when do you think it's going to be completed? i know you are changing the muster drill. but other safety recommendations. >> the process will be ongoing. so as we identify areas for best practices, we want to be able to proceed right away and announce those and have those implemented. so as long -- and i should say that this work, while very the incident was a catalyst for announcing this particular operational safety review, within clea, we have at least 25 standing committees that meet on a regular basis throughout the year. focused on issues of safety, security, environmental, all different aspects that brings different cruise line members together with the clea technical and regular team that we have in place which are all ex-retired coast guard, people with lots of expertise in these particular areas. so this is a process of continuous improvement all the time. >> having been a former member of heard

duffy. >> i just -- any questions that people have for the department. i do see the roof deck and i think that would leave that all interior work. it would be correct on the original permit, in my opinion. it has taken place within that actual unit. if the roof deck had to remain, we would have had to do something with that. both lots would have to be on if there was a roof deck on the top of the building. commissioner fung: the revision permits has, in its entirety, this permit with the exception of the roof deck? >> could you say that again. commissioner fung: they filed it for a revision permits and it has been granted. the scope of work within that permit, is everything in this appeal permit with the exception of the roof? >> that is correct. >> and that revision permits is under suspension at the moment, is that right? >> i.t. -- it is an issue permit. >> it is on appeal to the board. >> i am not sure. i know there is no work taking place. the notice of violation that was shown is standard procedure for dbi when we get a request from the board of ap

duffy -- >> i can speak to the architect myself. i just thought i would mention it. it is a tripping hazard, actually. thank you. president garcia: i will probably go along with moving the rails somewhat. i think it is reasonable to move the grill. and want to say this as nicely as possible. if your neighbor is going to barbecue, even if it is three stories below you, given the wind blowing the right direction -- it is not a safety issue. the light, air, privacy -- i do not know. it seems as though most of this is upright. i do not know if anyone is guaranteed a view, like, or even air. as for privacy, and hope to make this as gentle as possible -- that is pretty much what window treatments are for. at any rate. do you want to make a motion, commissioner? do you have any comments, commissioner? commissioner hurtado: i think i am in agreement with commissioner garcia. it would have been nice to have reached a compromise. i would support a motion to move the grill, but that is about it. commissioner fung: is there a motion? president garcia: we are waiting for you to m
