part of the city wide greenland scaping ordinance. >> if they want to put up fencing it has to meet the requirement? >> yes. >> thank you. >> i would like to make a recommendation, commissioners, that we ask for a line to be added in the legislation that gives the zoning administrator discretion to approve fences that are not defined in the code. that would give flexibility to the different situations that we are seeing because i am concerned since these projects may be on borrowed land that the expense is just -- will be a barrier. so it is the zoning administrator has discretion then they can work with the surrounding environment and maybe that would help. so, green fencing would be allowed or some variation -- >> that seems to make sense. i will make note of that and circle back. >> i want to follow up with the value added. i would like to make a recommendation that the sponsors, the proposal follow through with a value added component because the value added component is critical. if the fees are even reduced giving them a way to pay the fees is really important. the bay area produc

three english pilots including the famous charles green, and the overflew greenland and they landed on the shore somewhere i think in massachusetts. this was the biggest scoop the new york sun had ever had. and then epigram poll realized and revealed was a complete hoax. they never crossed the atlantic. it was the first of his stories of mystery and imagination. that was an 1844. but the first person who fueled the english channel, it was an english balloon, the pilot was an american, dr. john jeffries. so that's a little bit of history which appears in my book. and the first woman aeronaut was an actress mrs. sage and she has a great term in my book. and at the end of this week coming, i'm going -- look-see it may be the last you'll ever see of me -- to the international balloon fiesta and mexico to fly with the winner of the american hot air challenge cup. bye-bye.

( clatter ) ben! look, i've packed you some food and your favorite jumper, so i hope you have a lovely time. i'm really, really, really not coming back, and i'm serious. i know. i'm definitely not coming back. i know. bye! mum, what's going on? don't worry. she's left home before. what she does is, she goes round the corner, she waits a bit, and then she comes back. right so, then... no, no, no, she'll only go 10 yards 'cause she's afraid of the main road. it

to reduce nuclear weapons will both live in just days it replaces the nineteen lines who want to greenland which run started a year ago that it will refuse but country's nuclear arsenals by rockets that. are the most go to war as a retaliation i want it says is on ends on sunday's expulsion of a diplomat dublin claims russian intelligence made fake irish polls for slate squiring and lost in the us last. that's the headline is now the second part of the guys coming up next. for the full story we've gone to. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. of time for tonight's tool time award now in the former chairman of the republican national committee was voted out last month many in the party were relieved they say that michael steele was a loose cannon that he mistook managed the r. and c. for two years and now we're learning just how bad his missed.

the ice is coming off greenland. we're all going to drown. and i didn't want to be dick cheney and shut up and keep driving either. i just wanted to get in the middle and say, how does it work? this miraculous stuff, how does it happen? and i did that, and for a large part i kept my fairness have on -- fairness had on. until i start talking to a guy named eric, a fabulous comic genius writer right here in the city of raleigh. i asked him what are the things things are never out of your head when you're managing a traffic issue when you are thinking of where a signal should be, or painting or widening or narrowing, any of these things because i think about? i'm thinking transportation or traffic flow or speed or safety or convenience for asphalt and concrete or whatever. and he said two things that are never away from i thought. money and political view. those are the two things. he never stops thinking about. and i will tell you that without exception, every person who really thinks about this that i interviewed for the book, and i mean every

what's the arctic melts -- watched the arctic melt and watch what is going on to the ice cap in greenland and then listen to congressman who say there are no problems with these pollutants, i suggest we listen to the scientists. they make this country break -- great. caller: good morning. i am a construction worker. the purple better doing the talk about the chemicals are not harmful. i worked in a plant for over 40 years. we did not have osha. we started that together, working construction. i am 65 years old. i buried all of my co-workers except about four others left. brain tumors, cancer, respiratory diseases. these people are going to tell me -- the doctor cannot find out what is wrong with me now, sir. weight. weight, i gain these people need to come around lake charles, louisiana, madden rouge, louisiana -- becton rouge, louisiana. this country is going down the drain. nice talking to you. guest: i wish you were in the capital today. i would bring you to the commerce committee and have you talked to some of our colleagues about this. it seems to the federal toernment's obligation wa

they are exploring the western siberian basin, the east greenland rift basin, no.enland, north of norway, russia, and canada. only america's arctic is left out. we are an arctic nation. our entire puller neighborhood is being explored at this juncture, everywhere but america's arctic. if the department of interior and epa continue the policy of not repeating -- permitting exploration, what is the result? the other arctic nations are moving ahead without us. even china had a ship in the arctic ocean exploring possibilities. only the united states, is sitting on the largest untapped ablenically recovered resource, is sitting this one out. in conclusion, every aspect of america's recovery depends on affordable energy. there is a limit to what we control and a limit to what we know. we do know that more domestic oil production better secures our nation and grows our jobs at home. we do know that more private sector work generated here as a positive multiplier effect on our economy as capital dollars and wages circulate at home rather than being sent overseas to pay for

iceland, greenland, china, russia are all drilling. we're the only ones not involved and yet we have the best equipment, the best environmental records in the arctic. we have the proper equipment to do it safely. it's being held up by bureaucrats that don't want to issue the permits. e.p.a. said it's all right but the review board says no, it's not. within the agency itself. all this says is it they have the permit issued, then it should go forth and let's get on to serving this country as we should for the benefit of this nation, for the benefit of those so we don't have to go to war over the middle east over oil. so if you don't like what's going on over there, let's support this amendment. i believe it's the correct thing and i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves. for what purpose does the gentleman from virginia rise? >> i rise to claim the time in opposition. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. moran: the amendment stops funding for the environmental appeals board to consider
