flexibility in the labor market flexibility unique india economy and you see that there's economies that are that have adjusted themselves to more flexibility are doing far better than the others and then you look at the program of mr monti makes very who is very popular in italy according to choir is he is the older he's now working on a flexible isaac zation of the of the italian government spots and this will be accelerated by the james army's outlets james chopin go ahead go ahead james. what is worst possible solution is flexibility that goes into this mess at least in part it's the it's the pressure on real wages and real incomes that flexibility in genders that means a demand has been weak it's been compensated for in many countries by excessive borrowing and that's precisely when the things that led to the crisis that we're now in is a crisis of demand. declining reeling comes in and unless something is done to overcome the crisis of demand which means actually fiscal expansion in reflation in the first instance then we're going to carry on looking at stagnation across europ

this bill amends the regulatory flexibility act of 1980. and what it does is requires agencies to engage in so much analysis and so much new procedures that it basically befuddles the agencies to bring forth any rules in the future. it is elimination by burdensome regulation and while it doesn't say they're eliminating rules, that's the effect of it. it subjects all major rules and other rules that have significant economic impact on a substantial number of small ebtities to review by small business review panels. the cumulative effect of this and other changes in h.r. 527 will be to undermine the ability of agencies to effectively regulate consumer health and product safety, environmental protection, workplace safety and financial services industries' misconduct, among other critical concerns. you know, we talk about small businesses and small businesses are important and they create more jobs than any other sector of our economy. but small businesses are made up of human beings. and human beings also, all human beings, even if they're sma

i believe that both sides have shown flexibility in some respects. certainly a number of republicans and democrats showed flexibility on the simpson commission -- none of the house members on the republican side showed that flexibility for reasons i have heard them articulate. unfortunately we did not get to the 14 votes in a bipartisan way on the commission. as you know, both i and the -- i was not on the commission. i supported the commission's report. would have voted for the commission's report. as did mr. durbin, the minority whip and the majority whip in the senate. let me say to the gentleman, with respect to small business, nobody wants to put taxes on small business. as a matter of fact, we want to reduce taxes for small business. we offered that on the floor in the united states senate yesterday. every democrat but one voted for that yesterday. and unfortunately it did not pass. your side, as you know, offered an alternative, alternative which didn't even enjoy the support of a majority of your party. so that we need to get to bipartisan su

it would allow him to have more flexibility in parking, rather than make it more restrictive. i think that is what i'm reading into this. >> this was one of the items that i wanted to clarify. this is not actually new power, new responsibility. this is an existing a story that we would otherwise use a different process. usually, through the various process. the idea of placing this in section 3078, added to eastern neighborhoods, to try to believe in terms of process, close to planning requirements, when it comes to exceptions for parking or open space. we are trying to spread those to other sections where it makes more sense. it already exists for historic buildings and article 10 districts. this would expand two buildings which are designated categories 1 through 4, and article 11, to give flexibility there. it also does not apply when there is an expansion. this is just for a building that is an existing office building now wants to change to residential, flexibility in terms of exposure requirements, open space requirements. rather than having to go through a very process,

we need the flexibility -- we do not have been of engineers, construction managers, project managers where we can take folks and dedicate them to work in a team. we necessarily therefore need to maintain flexibility to have an engineer work one day on a building project and the next day on infrastructure projects. we do not have the luxury of the numbers to organize in a strict asset management way. we are doing that to some extent. shortly before i joined the fleet engineering group was moved in to work more closely with operations with a fleet maintenance folks are. now from project management to engineering to maintenance, they are working somewhat like an asset team. our sustainable streets division, we are doing that somewhat as well. and we do not have, i do not think, the staffing flexibility to be able to do that across the board. we are, however, looking at somewhat more of a matrixed organization so that we will have at least asset leadership with designated -- designated in our new capital planning process. we will have 16 different glasses of asset management. each one of

i do not like to see their flexibility relative to their income. people trying to go to school, working other jobs, who are at the beginning of their career or at the end of their career, so just some flexibility with the number of their dogs and their cost relative to income i think is a good thing, so i support that threshold of having maybe in a lesser number not be as expensive. i think the fee is a fine. i do not think it is prohibited in any way, and adjusted forward to hearing more about the discussion, but i do encourage flexibility on these issues and really working with the dog walker community. it has been a very thoughtful process, so thank you very much. president o'neil: any other commissioners? commissioner o'connor: not everybody is going to be in agreement on everything. i do not think they will be vilified. the dog walking community is very appreciated, but this is part of the process of a community growing and becoming more legitimate, and a great example is the supervisor mirkarimi. when he went into office seven years ago, he d

there are deadlines for money in both savings accounts as well as flexible spending accounts. >> theh savings account if you're anywhere near the contribution limits, you want to ra ratch it up by the end of the year. the flexible account, if there's anything in there the end of the year, it has to be used up or that money is gone. these accounts have become more restrictive since regulations went into effect the beginning of the year. they're not as flexible as they once were, but there are still a lot of things you can do to spend that money. >> what advice do you have in terms of looking at your portfolio? year end, what do you want to have in mind in terms of retireme retirement? >> toupt tayou want to take a l your gains, your losses. you can take that loss against $3,000 against ordinary income, but you might also want to consider taking some games off the table, too, maybe giving some games to your low-income kids, for example, if they're in those tax brackets. and charities would be happy to take your appreciated securities. you get to deduct the full market value and no capi

this is flexible enough to do both. but it is not directing one of the other, leaving it up to the flexibility of the commission to make that decision. >> and this is a four and a half year contract? >> right. >> thank you. >> so far from the local clean energy alliance. i want to thank you all for the efforts to try to include in a very prominent way the local build-out work in the importance of doing that work as part of the clean power sf piece overall. i want to clarify what might still be a mystery about the relationship between the investigative work going on now by local power inc., and that might conceivably end up in the contract as a result of that work. said the contract, as is now, specifies a certain type of energy that would be purchased. it will specify a price at which that energy will be purchased. it will specify a certain amount of energy that will be purchased. those are pieces where once the local bell about estimations edward r. dunne might have some influence. to give you an example, in terms of t

we usually run below our maxwell so that we can take on extras to provide that flexibility other peopleave talked about. we won't be able to do that. there are a lot of other things we won't be able to do as well. we need a lot of nngs in this industry. we need standards for responsible behavior, education, ability to take a rest or go to the doctor. all dogs identified with a walker's tag and owner's tag so we can get strays back to the people they are with. are we done now? >> yes. thank you. i will note, i don't know if you were here in the beginning, in the amendments, i am proposing one of them that to make it on the website, you have to have a violation three times in a 12-month period. anyone can violate it out of minor injure, and we are trying to get a-- minor negligence, and we are trying to get away from that. >> there are people walking dogs without any identification and other safety issues for the dogs, like how to properly restrain dogs in cars. they are being tied down in ways not safe. >> thank you. are you mar e.r.a.? >> no. i am julia frank. here is my card. >> let me
