the rates are fair. when the rate fair boards look at the cost of the rates whether the certain rate payer is not paying another fee. the rates are technically fair and they pass that test. when we look at the cost of service, when we look at the program assumptions that go into where the rate need to be in order to recover proper funding for the cost that are anticipated for the program, the board recognizes the rates are probable set. in particular, the phase 1 program contract rates are designed to mitigate a number of risk for 1/2 year period of execution and those objectives are centered around the hundred percent renewable mix and the care customers. if you were to change those requirements and guide the staff, the program rates can change as well. the second component where the staff is designed to rate to see financially around a targeted customer base. it is both in size and also in type of customer designed to be conservative. size in the sense of about 120 for the total 5.6 mega watt load and

where ast people in socializing do.ere that is not fair. we are putting that right. >> thank you, mr. speaker. >> thank you. >> figures published yesterday, it has been 37% increase in theu number of deaths linked to this disease. are we going to stop this awful position.io we need to prevent this disease and do research in particular. what is the government doing to help support those with dementia and those who care for them. >> i think you raise something that is of concern to everyonemi in this house and everyone in this country.n no one knows when a relative could get eevicted. the point she made is right. this is a disease. we should be thinking about pit as disease in the way we try toe crack cancer or heart disease or strokes. that is why this government ist increasing the amount of money going to. the medical research o we can try to prevent dementiah in more cases but there are many other thing we need to do inngs terms of improving the care, in care homes, and in hospitals. also make sure we have more dementia-friendly communitie

they are important and enforceable law but we need them to do it in a way that is fair and we need to find out how to hold them accountable because a lot of their actions can and do produce in justices in the system. >> host: professor davis is the power institutionalized and tell all or just developed over the years? >> guest: the system of public prosecutions started right around the time of the democracy when we had this view that we wanted to vote for people and hold them accountable the people choose the individuals to perform these functions, and so when we start to get this prosecution because in the past there used to be practices, individuals, private individuals are able to bring charges against other individuals and they have to pay for it. that didn't last very long and then there was the prosecution system for the state and local system, so all of our states except for about four of them had elected officials for the state. federal prosecutors are appointed but state and local our elective officials and that ev process is supposed to be the way that we the people hold pro

if it's fair -- if it's fair, it's not fair, for example, if the prosecutor makes a plea bargain with the defendant, but doesn't tell the defendant all the evidence or doesn't reveal to the defend that there's evidence that would ten to show the defendant is not guilty. if the prosecutor suppresses that, doesn't turn over to the defense, then that's not fair. >> host: is that legal? >> guest: it is not legal. in fact, prosecutors have a constitutional obligation to turn over all evidence to the defense in a case called brady versus maryland. it's called brady material is what you'll hear it called. in fact, many people may remember the duke lacrosse case in north carolina where the prosecutor there had this evidence showing, in fact, the young man at the lacrosse team were not guilty because the dna, none was found on the materials, and he suppressed that and got disbarred in that case, which is in and of itself unusual because frequently prosecutors don't turn over evidence and nothing happens to them, another thing i'd like to talk about. back to plea bargaining, when a person plead

if life was fair, children wouldn't be born h.i.v. positive or missing limbs and they would all have the same advantage economically, socially, parentally. if life was fair, i wouldn't visit a prison on a sunday afternoon and talk to a general population of 500 or 600 and walk through the lobby and see children waiting to go through the metal detector and the look on their faces and they are already used to it. that's a felony. it's no big deal for a 6-year-old to walk through a metal detector to visit their parents. that has to stop. now, for the normal people, if life was fair, your property would still be worth what it was four years ago. that's one of the rest of us clap. my landlord, screw him, we don't care if life was fair, when the copses tossed your apartment serving the warrant, they would put everything back exactly where it was when they got there. this disease doesn't care what group. it's more open-minded than the people that have it. a lot of times when one of us makes the ultimate mistake, we forget who we are and thin

that's what's fair. [applaus [applause] >> and then just briefly, and i don't have time to really go into it, but let me tell you something, health care, you know 1/6 of our economy, if the government can control that, they can control just about everything. we need to understand what is going on because there are much more economic models that can be used to give us good health care than what we have now. and we were asleep at the wheel to let it happen, but we have to find a way to still, to make it it work. and if we have to work within the frame work of the affordable health care act, fine. if we can find a way to defund it, fine. if -- you know, but we have to find more efficient ways. think about this, 80% of the encounters between a patient and a health care provider could easily be handled by a health savings account. 80% of the encounter, without the need to insinuate a third party or a bureaucracy at these a third of the money. there are ways we can do this. we can use bridge insurance and cata

they're not paying their fair share.k to the issue at hand, i really think the speaker -- >> how do you define fair, cornell? if you tax 100%, you don't get rid of the debt problem. so what is fair? >> i think it is a visceral main street issue. when working americans are paying sort of more taxes than warren buffett, i think you get the sense that it not fair. when you have large corporations and big oil companies raking in huge profits and not paying taxes that, is not fair. >> if you look at the oil companies marginal tax rates, you would be shocked. they are on average the big oil giants pay more than the statutory rate. but to his point, other companies do not. but they stand out as people who do pay. >> it's an issue where the companies who pay low corporate tax are sometimes the big large incouple incumbent companies like ge that president obama champions regularly. these are companies that are -- more regulation ins lats large firms that are also able to take on more debt than start-up companies. when you look at

what could be more fair than that? i will tell you what is not fair. what is not fair is when you exempt some people and you say, you do not have to pay anything. we will take care of you. very "newsmakers -- what you are saying is i will take care of you. the superior elite group needs to be superior an elite. they cannot be superior and elite unless you have a lot of people around their groveling around. you keep them down there by feeding them. ife other ulterior motive is, everybody doesn't have six skin in the game, you have to be responsible. if you come talk about raising taxes, you are raising taxes on everybody and you better have a week -- a good reason. it really matters about everybody. that is what is fair. briefly, i do not have time to , 1/6to it, but health care of our economy. if the government can control that, they can control just about everything. we need to understand what is going on. there are much more economic models that can be used to give as good health care than what we have now. we were asleep at the wheel to let it happe

is that a fair trade? >> but they are willing to work with us. the first premise has to be we will have real cuts in spending because washington has a spending problem. they have to admit this is a problem. then we can work to fix it. personally i would rather go into targeted areas and cut things that do not work. if they are willing to work with us and have an adult conversation about that, that is fine, but six months ago we tried to build -- bring this up before it was a crisis. we passed a bill out of the house to do what you're talking about and the senate did not take it up for six months. the president has not talked about until a week before the crisis. people are tired of washington living crisis to crisis. i am glad the senate is finally engaged now that it has come to pass. and we will be willing to work with them, but it is a little late in the game to be talking about it after it happened. there is enough common ground on a concept that we do not to worry about a government shut down? you all will come together and give everyone fle

. >> jon: fair to say, jim, every white house tries to control, and if someone is working on a piece they don't like, they pummel the messenger. >> i worked in two white house and i've heard pretty big screaming matches with reporters and you know, gene sperling is not an aggressive, nasty guy at all. what -- but woodward obviously referring to was the way the media react today him. it wasn't the white house reaction, it was the media reaction. john nolte at breitbart did a long list of new york times, politico, cnbc, slate, gawker, andrew sullivan wrote a headline bob woodward quote, did he m demonstratable liar. >> and when he said he interpreted the white house words as a threat, it's whether he was write when he reported that the president isn't telling the truth about his role in the sequester and behaving badly as his national on the national security show. america is still waiting for the white house press corps to take up that story. >> right, the well, the issue whether or not woodward was right, inserting that tax revenues were never on the part of the original sequester, i

such are not compassion or fair. what is not fair is a system that is failing those who need help the most. president obama speaks about his deep concern for struggling americans, get his plans are focused on growing government and not the economy. he has no effective lands to create better jobs, or rising wages. that is what is missing. apparently, the federal government is perfect and requires no reform. that would explain why are senate democrats have received the legally mandated 10 year budget plan in four years. to compel democrats to do their jobs, republicans passed a no measure.tmeasur no pay the senate to introduce the long-delayed democrats plan on wednesday. right now our massive debt is slowing the economy and depressing wages. we have a moral duty to balance the federal budget. we need to bring the deficit down to zero. this is the great challenge of our time. you may be surprised to learn that we can achieve this goal if we simply hold the annual growth of spending to 3.4% each year. i fear that the de

will the weather be fair? hmm. hmm. okay. on cue there. >> look at this. >> it's so -- so up fair.f of 880 annual event a couple of bucks for admission we'll be moving on to randy college next. but it will still be open tomorrow for all of your enjoyment. rain or shine. we have this looks really ominous doesn't it? it's kind of deceiving because it's actually verga, it's rain that's evaporating and the very dry air mass wedy have a little bit of -- we did have a little bit of a light sprinkle occurring in santa rosa. but this is live hi-def doppler radar and they are dissipated. we'll keep the sprinkles in the forecast, yeah not so fair tomorrow. currently, it's very mild numbers. 53 for one of coolest spots in san francisco and in san to rosa. otherwise it's still 59 in livermore. pleasanton and? dublin. today's highs ten degrees cooler than yesterday in santa row seay. down from 81 to 71 degrees. in oakland at 74 yesterday. today 72 and upper 60s san francisco. 74 around santa rosa tonight overnight tonight. very mild with the blanket of clouds and into the 30s and 40s for again

i think in the interest of fairness we should wait until we have decided what happens. it's not just human beings that rely and need sequel. it's also species like sir daniel that we might not see if we don't take time to smell the roses. having this service animal has meant a lot to me and to see what he does. we talk about an environment we live on everyday. i understand the sentiments of these people. these are the risks we take. there are no guarantees in life. but taxes and the government is going to be there. and you can't escape your taxes or a lawyers bill or doctors bill. but in the interest of fairness so we are all on the same page so it would significantly reduce possible lawsuits, let's be on the same page and wait until we have decided what we will do with sequel. i know sir daniel would like that. thank you very much. >> additional public comment? okay. public comment is closed. commissioner moore. >> i appreciate the public weighing in and make comments and need to be carefully thought and answered and i would appreciate the thorough work. which is somet

there's a basic issue of fairness. how can it be fair the people and housing benefit in private rented accommodations do not get a fair rim subsidy where as people in social housing to? that isn't there and we are putting that right. >> over the last one years there's been 137% increase in the number of deaths. does the prime minister up with me we're going to stop this awful condition inflicting more people in the future, that we need to best -- much more preventing this disease and in research and particular? will be outlined what the government is doing to help support those? 's i think the automotive raises something that is of concern to everyone in this house and everyone in this country because no one knows when a relative could get afflicted by this condition. the point she makes is right. this is a disease and we should be thinking about it as a disease in a way that we try and crack cancer or heart disease or stroke. that's what this government is increasing the amount of money going into the medical research

as a basic issue of fairness, how can it be fair that people and housing benefits in private residences do not get a better subsidy whereas people in social housing do. that is not fair. we are put in at right. >> thank you. it was published yesterday that over the last 20 years, there has been a 137 cent increase -- if we are going to stop this awful condition from inflicting more people, we need to eat that much more in preventing this disease and in research in particular. will he outline to the house what the government is doing to help with the measure? >> i think my honorable friend raises something that is of concern to everybody in this house and everybody in this country. nobody knows when a relative could be afflicted by this condition. the point she makes is right. this is a disease. we should be thinking about it as a disease in the way we try to crack cancer or heart disease. that is why this government is increasing the amount of money going into medical research so we can try to prevent dementia in more cases. there are many other things we need to do in terms of providin

we have to raise the question of fairness.we can't analyze these issues without appreciating that if we're not willing to fund an adequate system, we're going to be unjust. we're going to be unfair. we're going to throw people away in ways that are not consistent with our values. and i think we have to raise that. i do think we have to educate too. i mean, the reality is, is that we could reduce the prison population by 50% in a very short period of time, not increase threats to public safety, bring down the cost of managing the criminal justice system, and increase the resources for fair and adequate defense. but it's going to take a lot of leadership, which we haven't seen in a long time. >> senator patrick leahy of vermont, as you know introduced legislation just last week called the gideon's promise act of 2013. it would give the justice department the ability to sue states and counties that fail to uphold the sixth amendment right to counsel. it also promises money to states to improve indigent defense. do you expect anyt

. >> the lending standard should be fair but pricing should be fair. one of the things that caused the housing bubble were mortgage products and interest rates that varied. there were teaser rates and there were huge jumps. we need fair mortgage products. >> that's coming. >> we need fair statements. >> that's coming, isn't it? >> the fact of the matter is -- i think it's on the way but without a job you can't afford any house, you can't afford to rent or buy so as the job market comes back i think we'll see improvement in the housing market. >> fewer people are underwater. >> sure. >> the house prices are rising. 10.4 million people still have negative equity. that means they owe the bank more than the home is worth. but that number is 200,000 fewer than the previous quarter, that's a sign that everybody who has their hands in housing -- >> there are ways everybody benefits even if you can't afford to buy a house. when people buy houses even if it's a group of investors, apollo, blackstone, big companies buying houses, renovating them, renting them ou

that's not fair. there is this primary interest that we believe in fairness. the challenge for us is how do we bring the public inside this world and make them understand that this is not fair and it has to change. >> here is our first question from the audience and it's a question i will put to the panel and any of you can respond. it's a great question. is gideon's promise does it extend to our nations immigrants when they are told to plead guilty and they are deported? >> i will start with that because i filmed in georgia. i will tell you about really i think about it like still a lot. a man who was accused of drug trafficking. although the police report as the police officer testified on the stand did not mention drugs. magically the amount of drugs that were not in the police report exceeded the threshold of 45 to life. the man on trial, his story and the story of a man who had pleaded guilty with him was that he was a roofer in georgia. his friends said do you want to go to lunch, i have to make a stop. he's a passengerer in a car and unaware there were

in a fair manner. so this is a mast fairness. this is a matter of fairness. this is a matter of doing what's right. let me give you one example that was brought to my attention by a retailer in maryland, a person who works in an electronics shop in our state, where someone came into the shop recently and was shopping for a tv monitor -- a new tv set, did all the comparative shopping, brought the expert in from that store, answered all their questions and decided on what television set he was going to buy. he then went on his phone and ordered it from an internet buyer. the price was identical at the two locations -- ey identical. but the person bought it on the internet because they didn't have to pay state sales tax we. well, they had to pay the state use tax, but they never paid the state use tax. that is something that we have to end. that is wrong. that is basic fairness. now, the distinguished chairman of the finance committee points out, how do we collect these taxes? well, let me point out today, we already collect taxes. in our state from sales that a

the fair is the largest of its kind in japan and attracts more than 50,000 visitors. its organizers say this year the weaker yen may attract more art collectors from overseas. >> translator: the yen is weaker and tokyo stock prices are higher. they indicate the country is getting a shot in the arm. >> translator: the weaker yen is good news for overseas buyers. japan has a lot of good art items, so i think the country's market will grow. >> 24 young japanese artists living together are selling their building and works of art as a package for about $2.6 million. >> translator: a number of visitors from abroad are coming to see this art fair. as an organizer, this trend is definitely giving us a leg up. >> the organizer says japanese contemporary art has been popular among overseas collectors for years and recently its investment value has been rising. >>> people in some areas of china are dealing with severe weather conditions. >> good morning. some quite famished here across southern china. let me show you a video coming up from that area. the severe storm brought str

against this election to the supreme court, no serious evidence presented that it was anything but fair and transparent. >> staying with the idea of a bigger picture view, what is next for this country? it looks as though at the moment at least, it has a president- elect who is a man who stands indicted by the icc. >> exactly. he is facing trial in just a few months at the international criminal court at the hague for crimes against humanity. very, very serious crimes. i think the issue now is how a senior diplomat is going to treat uhuru kenyatta. this is uncharted territory for them, having a president who is going to be in charge of a country. they will have to deal with him at some point, but diplomats that i've spoken to here in kenya have told al jazeera that they will have no non-essential contact with uhuru kenyatta. that is western diplomats -- people from the european union, americans. what happens if there is a conference in kenya and the british prime minister is there? will they be able to talk? these are all questions the need to be answered. >> we see there is a crowd gat

. >> it is simply fairness.eally, what this comes down to, it's not imposing a new tax at all. it's just fairness of collection. it's basically saying to all retailers, if you sell it, you apply the same sales tax, regardless of the platform. brick and mortar, remote, internet, however it's done. >> okay, but if that is the area that we're actually seeing activity, do you really want to stunt growth when, in fact, you're seeing folks choose the internet because of the fact that they're not seeing that kind of a tax, they're seeing cheaper prices? >> well, i don't think that that's the sole reason they're going for the internet. i think they're going there for the convenience. going there takes away the sales tax revenue that governments have been relying on for years and years and years. and we as brick and mortar merchants are still required to collect that. so, really, like i said, it comes down to a matter of fairness for the collection. >> but you're going to get more revenue through more sales and in turn,

that makes everyone pay their fair share. it has a revenue piece and has spending cuts and will be legislation that will promote growth. so, with that, i would be happy to take any questions. >> supreme court going to take you up [inaudible] at the end of the month. >> separate from everyone else's prediction. thank you for asking this question, because we have spent a lot of time on this. i believe that you're speaking to the doma. in the house was 100 and -- how many -- 412 house and senate -- 212 house and senate friends of the court in the doma case. i believe doma is unconstitutional and i believe the republicans know it. in the 204, before we won the majority, republicans were still at that time in the majority, they would pass bills that were called court stretching bills. it was back to what they were trying to do years ago, like goldwater and smith rejected it. there was an element in the republican party that marbury versus madison was wrongly decided that judicial review was not a core responsibility, judicial revi
