and i needed to hire a permit expediter, permit consultant. and that was key into my success and to my being able to expand my business. you know, i moved here 15 years ago and for the first 12 years i used to tell people i love san francisco. as a small business owner, i really like san francisco. we make it really difficult to start small businesses. and i believe that if i didn't have access -- and by access, i mean be able to afford somebody like a permit consultant -- my business which started as -- employing 3 to 4 employees, i now employ over 30 employees in san francisco. i'm proud of that fact, but i don't think i would be here today if i wasn't able to get through the permitting process. and i didn't get through the permitting process, i had to hire a permit consultant. and i'm just concerned that if we move forward with it as it's written that the accessibility of consultants would put small businesses like myself or not make it possible for small businesses like myself to succeed. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >>>

and first of all, i want to thank those of you from the permitting expediting world for taking part of this discussion. as you know this legislation has been around ifer a year and i have been looking for feedback on specific suggestions on what we could do it around this ~ and the challenge we have is on the one hand we know there is a lot of frustration with the process within departments and we have to or in many instances individuals need to hire permit expediters to get projects through faster compared to other projects which aren't moving quite as fast. but on the other hand we all know that there have been numerous allegations and investigations of whether there have been individuals who have inappropriately influenced the process and no one understands who is actually influencing the process. and from my perspective, the purpose of this legislation really actually is to legitimatize transparent permit expediting. let me be clear on several points. first of all, there is nothing in this legislation that says that this is not activity that should not happen. all we're saying is t

for the expeditions are likely as more goal to stop the running inside what's left of the sunken ship. you know here's the weather forecast the ruling. for this wrenching. its. can we the beach. the new york needs of people who come to the north and pursuit of a tree. he works from them through myanmar point came when he's in a class of its own. practically in japan you'll sleep. all new yorkers. a survey. it didn't the manchester police expertise to you. all that though i hope to get into the food the greens restaurant sits in the shadow of new york's main bus terminal. it's your average urban neighborhood. it seemed the train station in tokyo where he first learned to make ramen. the name reminds him of a second home everyday new limits on its feet for twelve dollars members. repeat vegetables garlic and ground sesame don't think that the regional meet him. the restaurant's signature cakes. so where did that come in and ramen. me with spicy soup and loaded with garlic and then the remote in a mix between a soft boiled and fried prawns which we read they were so nice to visit. like t

that's led to the suspension of most climbing expeditions on the world's highest peak. japanese mountain climber ken knowing uch chi said in kathmandu on monday that he would donate about $100,000 to the families of the deceased sherpas through an npo that he represents. >> translator: we should have systems in place that provide necessary assistance when something happens. that way both foreign climbers and sherpas can be free from anxiety when climbing mountain peaks. >> the nepalese government raised the amount of compensation offered to the victims families from about $10,000 to $15,000. the sherpas say that is still not enough. >>> the people in fukushima prefecture where the damaged nuclear plant stands are still concerned about the health effects of radiation. some of them have been debating whether it's safe to stay there or not. now a grassroots organization has launched a project to help them make informed decisions. nhk world has more. >> reporter: a do way in downtown tokyo people from around the country are here to learn how to build their own radiation mea

the expedition has begun. let's go. >> their friend rowed in 2006. this time, he became a one-man mission control in washington state, keeping track of them best he could from his base on land. >> right out of the gate, though, you could see something was just a bit off in terms of their progress. >> the crew was supposed to be able to contact him by phone or e-mail. they also had three cameras on board to record video diaries. but they were plagued by power problems. so the satellite phone and internet service was very dicey. greg didn't hear from them for several days. but according to their gps tracking device, they were moving far too slowly. >> well, looking at the wind, it's coming out of the north. they're going west. so they're just getting hit from the beam. and it's probably terrible. and sure enough, i got the first phone call from jordan about a couple days after they left, and he sounded miserable. >> that's because all four crew members were seasick in the extreme. but adam, the olympic gold medalist sitting behind jordan didn't let it

one of the biggest attempts was mallory's expedition. it was mallory who famously responded when asked why he wanted to climb everest, because it is there. it was beautifully filmed with a hand cranked camera. it will play at the castro theater. it wasn't until 19 years after the mallory expetition that two men made it to the top of the mountain and returned to share their story. edmond hillary and norway reached the peak at 11:30 in the morning on may 29, 1953. the two spent only 15 minutes atop the mountain. as hillary told the story, both men reached the summit at the same time. >> we had been climbing together. i think we became a fairly heavy pair. this was just one example of how together you are. and how one is always protecting the other. i was leading down the asphalt. when i was passing a crevase a large piece of ice came down. and he pulledded me up so i didn't go very far. >> how did it feel up there on top of the world? >> very happy. >> in 2003, sir edmond hillary son's talked about how he celebrated the 50th anniversary of

mediate, but expedite what they can in a complaint is important. this is something that i requested of the administrator prior to the current one when we had no administrator prior to that for a long time. there was no administrator. so, none of this was happening. so, that was really an important factor that we reinstitute that because if i'm having a simple problem i could walk in and talk to the administrator, they could pick up the phone and say, hey, so and so is here. they seem to need this or that, can you help? and it's not a big legal matter and it happens, that helps save us a lot of time. jurisdiction is always determined at the beginning of every hearing. it has to be or else we would be flanked with way too much stuff. so, and it's important because the deputy city attorney provides ample advice as to whether each case is in writing before the meeting, whether each case is within the jurisdiction of the task force. so, we do that due diligence. every task force does do it. so, i want you to know that for sure. time factors, why do meet

narrator: the peruvian expeditions were the beginning of an ambitious worldwide drilling program.ver the next 30 years, lonnie and his team continued to make technical improvements to better retrieve high-resolution ice cores from extreme locations. to create a global archive of past climate, lonnie has made more than 50 expeditions to africa, antarctica, bolivia, china, greenland, peru, russia, and the united states. at the end of every expedition, the ice is rushed back to the cold room at ohio state university, where it is preserved in a frozen library, waiting to be deciphered. thompson: and we now have 7,000 meters of core we store at minus 30. and it turns out now that it's the only tropical archive of ice cores on earth. narrator: these cores are crucial links in the history of climate, connecting the polar regions to the tropics. by analyzing this archive and comparing it to other climate records, a global understanding of past climate is emerging. woman: what we want to do is get it back to the lab and start working on it as quickly as possible, because everybody's really

last week, we had over 40% of the passengers who were screened expedited in some way. we are on that goal. thus far, we have had over 200 million people who have gone through an expedited physical screening and kept their shoes on. that is over 400 million feet that have had shoes stay on. as we continue this, we are and looking ats advances of technology. how can we do this in a way that recognizes that a vast majority of the air travelers in the united states, if not every single person, is not a terrorist. develop protocols that apply the best technology, the best intelligence, and the most commonsense fashion. the identity-based screening, we every week 225,000 here in the united states. there is nearly 27,000 flights that take off every day in the united states. if we do not know and trust the people in charge of the aircraft , i'm am not sure who we can trust. in working with the airlines and the associations, we have known crewmember protocol. we do identity-based screening. if we can identify that the member of the crew is in good standing and did not get fired

i do one was still a dish i likey of the four week del of private expedition has become a treasure trove of gold lies and claims was more than a million dollars. it's from a steam ship that sank off south carolina and more than one hundred and fifty years to count. a the sixth edition group uses the principle considers the ship's package at a depth of about two thousand two hundred meters the ship was the access to central america. it was on its way to new york from san francisco. carrie and massive amount of gold but it sank in a hurricane in eighteen fifty seven. this is true says that take two hours to climb to five gold lies and two twenty dollars gold coins gold weighs about thirty kilograms sits with an estimated one point three million dollars at today's prices. i think and a half ago there were many banks in new york that were waiting for the to bring them gold. to ease and tried to cash shortage. she's thinking is considered to be a factor leading to depression in eighteen fifty seven when lenders went bankrupt one after another for the expeditions and likely as more cool is tho

then the second part is about an expedition to go back and find the people who were lost trying to rescue the original crew, and they located aircraft and all kinds of things. so it's a great story. in reading that, of yours you read the book jacket and he has another one, "lost in shangly law" about a mission that went wrong. was supposed to be a joy flight over new guinea in 1945 and the plane went down and the rescue was harrowing. so surviving in desperate situations is good reading for congress in an election year. i had the opportunity to meet recently -- i may mispronounce his name because it was just a -- david von dreel, lincoln rise to greatness, and our deputy whip put together a group of 15 of to us have dinner with him one night a couple weeks ago, and they gave us all the books, so i got the book for free, autographed it and i was -- i love the way this political skills had so much to do with holding the country together, and holding the party together. just -- i think probably a lot of lessons. this was a republican majority in the 1860s that had never been the majority bef

and then the second part of it is about an expedition to go back and try to find the people lost trying to rescue the original crew, and they low caked aircraft. so it's a great story. but in reading that -- of course you read the book jacket, and he was another one, "lost in shangrila" bat mission that went wrong. was supposed to be a joy flight over new guinea but the plane went down and the rescue was harrowing and took months. so surviving in desperate situations is good reading for congress in an election year. then i had the opportunity to meet -- i may mispronounce his name -- "lincoln's rise to greatness" and our deputy whip put together a group of 15 of to us have dinner with him, and they gave us all the book so i got the book for free, but i was just -- lincoln has always been compelling figure, i think for any politician and any american, the greatest president at the most critical time in the country's history, and i love the way his political skills had so much to do with holding the country together, and holding his party together. i think probably lot of lessons. this wa

the flagship of christopher columbus's famed expedition to the americas.e nina and the pinta were part of the italian explorer's first cross-atlantic voyage. the flagship sank during the expedition and its whereabouts have remained a mystery for five centuries. the santa maria left spain in august 1492 sailing westwards. the expedition across the atlantic believed it would bring them to landfall in asia. instead it brought columbus and his men to the caribbean when the santa maria ran aground on a reef near haiti on christmas day 1492. let's go to christopher dobbs from the mary rose trust, a marine archaeologist and also an expert on ancient ship wrecks. thanks for being with us, christopher. what do you think, could this be it? >> it's very exciting. this was obviously a really, really important ship for the whole of western civilization. but the key thing, is it actually the right ship? many people thought they've found this ship before. it's very difficult. not to be cynical, because if it really is that ship it's extremely exciting. >> how do you begi

among the actions the president will take, expedited entry in the 15 largest airports. done this on a micro scale at the three largest airports in the last couple of years and travel industry reports say it has been extremely successful. also, the president will order the department of homeland security to expand technology used for book -- for expedited entry. if you are traveling internationally, wait times should be down significantly, as much as 30% in some cases. overall, these initiatives are not the massive boost to the travel industry that the administration would absolutely are for, but for what they have power over from the oval office with the stroke of a pen, this is something they say will have a noticeable impact. >> thank you. stay with us. another check on the market movers is on the other side of the rate.

one of the amendments that i am offering today expedited liquefied natural gas exports. the magazine "the economist" published an article "the petro state of america. "the energy boom is good for america and the world." they saivment "it would be nice if barack obama helped a bit." the article explains the process for obtaining permits to export liquefied natural gas from the united states is insanely slow," thethey say. over three and a half years the administration has approved only seven ally cations to export l.n.g. the administration is sitting on 24 pending applications. 14 have been pending for more than year. some have been pefnedding for more than two years. these delays are unacceptable. the excuses have run out. we have introduced legislation. l.n.g. supporters are a critical component of stopping russian aggression against our allies and strategic partners. nine of our nato allies import 40% of their gaze from russia. these are our aliessments yet they are being held and heavily dependent on russia for their energy. l.n.g. exports would help our nato allies,

what we do know is just before 10:30 a.m., the victim was driving his black ford expedition in the 2300 block of 80th street when two men approached, shot him in the chest and took off with the car. the chicago tribune says the friend apparently picked the victim up and carried him down the street and laid him down on the sidewalk where paramedics rushed him to the medical center where he was pronounced dead. the name of the victim has not been released. no description of the suspect has been released. if you have the information please call police. >>a man is dead after a driver tries to take off from police during a traffic stop in elgin. police in elgin made the stop just after five last night. officers discovered the driver was wanted on a warrant from the u-s marshals office for evading arrest. that's when that driver of a white nissan took off. officers say he was speeding when he blew through a stop sign about four blocks later ... hitting a mini-van. that van flipped over several times, killing the driver. >> i heard a loud noise down the street at a high speed and then allowed

tomorrow supervisor chiu will require permanent exme expediters and i know dbl will be attending that because some of the committee members may have some questions about how we monitor that right now. we do actually have a may 15 form that keeps track of people who are actually representing others on behalf of the project. and i think the final piece i mentioned is that we continue to work with supervisor chiu on his other legislation dealing with short term rentals, also known as the brbo legislations. this would essentially introduce some regulatory measures over in these types of shared economy kind of activities. there is a serious question that the planning and building department continues to have over how these matters will be enforced and we can't to work with all parties to try and see how the legislation might be fine tuned to reflect what our realities are. with that, i think that's the bulk of it. >> thank you bill. >> 5c, update on tracking system. >> update on permit and project tracking system. we're continuing to work on the data conversion review and the vendor is con

where no pope has gone before because at mass on monday its pontiff said if for example tomorrow an expedition of martials came and some of them came to us here, martians, right, green, the long ears and big nose and one says but i want to be bap tides what would happen. when the lord shows us the wave who are we to say no, lord, it's not-- no let's do it this way, who in closed doors. you heard that right, folks. pope francis would baptize a martian. first you have to convert him to scientology. not that i find his premise implausible. if an emissary came here from a culture advanced enough to traverse our solar system, land on our planet, communicate with humans, the very first thing it would do would be to find a man with a funny hat and ask him for a head bath. but baptizing aliens is way over the lines. god was very clear on this point in a saya 45212. all the ends of the earth, end of the earth. if an alien wants to be in the catholic church, he should have been raised here by christians on a kansas farm like cardinal superman was. plus once we baptize the aliens it will only be a matter

the walk and if that notice needs to come from at&t that period of time is not contributing to expediting the permit and the schedule was inconvenient for people if you're talking about this why weren't they done after 5:00 p.m. after people get home from work or earlier in the morning. >> you have a two-part question commissioner president lazarus. >> why it takes thirty days up to notice the walk? to even notice the walk could it be set at a subsequent most that's the month you're addressing on to get those permits approved. right if we worked out a process with dpw we were given additional notice if other sites were identified in the box walks there will be having to be supra times >> that's not my question. >> you're asking why it takes thirty days. >> from the submission of the application a box walk was asked for and took thirty days. >> i think it took 50 days because at&t has some of the same constraints that the department has which say we have people b that conduct those box walks and doing them on a preregular basis i don't know the details. >> but you're willing to admit there
