show we're making some headway here. something that's, you know, probably makes some sense. to my understanding, it's that the senate sent some ideas over. and the house has looked at them, sent them back to our side. you tweaked them. we tweaked them back and forth. also includes a self-employment assistance. i think that was one of the revisions that we talked about. senator reed is pretty closely involved in this. sorry? senator carper has been involved in the self-employment, and chairman i just suggest how far we can go on those. i apologize, not -- before all the members of the conference here, but we have both sides of the aisle as well as both bodies talked about these. i would suggest that -- we'll see what we can do. >> i appreciate those comments, and i know you mentioned the overpayment issue of $17 billion and that's in one year. and so part of where we're coming from is also a program integrity approach that we want to make sure that the dollars are there given the debt and deficits that we have, that they're going to the people who are in need. but i do think

the smart system allows us to operate closer headways between the trains. the second component, which is even more important, has to do with the unfunded safety mandate that is required by the fra, and that is something that all transit operators will need to put in place by 2015. there are discussions about extending the time line, but as we know it today, and his 2015, and it is our goal to meet that time line. the second component of our program has to do with electrification. this is a vision and goal that caltrain has had for quite a while. it is an adopted policy that has been in place for over a decade if not longer. what we are essentially trying to do is we want to provide more service to our growing customer base, and we want to do it in an environmentally friendly way. that friendlier way is to use electric power instead of diesel. it also serves another purpose in that in this approach, we are able to help address our financial state caltrain. we have been struggling without a dedicated funding source to find the money on an annual basis to oper

so i think that we have made some headway at this meeting. i am happy to see some of the amendments that have been put in i do just want to say a couple of things. i was more hopeful that we would have local hire amendments ready at this committee meeting but i will defer on supervisor avalos on that in working through in the next couple of days to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to ensure that we have local hiring in this d.d.a. that is something that can only be done in this d.d.a. to ensure that that happens. there are a number of concerns that i have in this d.d.a., but i realize that there are a couple more steps i can take. one was the upper water basin. i will continue to be active on this issue in ensuring that we are able to protect our views for members of the public able to use this park once that is depleted. there is another level of process that's going to go into effect before that. i'm willing to do that without removing it directly on the d.d.a. the second issue that will be very important to me in my vote on tuesd

that you've done what are the states that you see that are the most promising in terms of making headway on this. god it's pretty bad over. i mean i think you know there's a lot of interesting organizing going on in a lot of different places. and there's also a lot of organizing that's not being done properly and no organizing at all i mean there's going to be a lot of big fights i mean right to work going to be on the ballot in minnesota this this fall and you know this could be a lot of big battles biggest takeaway from the flint sit down strike i think the biggest to go away is that. you know occupy is great in a lot of ways it makes a political message but in order to really hurt companies you have to hurt their profits and that's what the flint sit down straight was able to do when i was talking to an occupy a member who couple guys got inspired to go into a call center and they decided to get hired there just to unionize it and then to you know you move beyond just political messaging and it's actually hurting somebody bottom line through organizing and going on strike you're not r

that's what that transit headway improvements and service expansion means. so on a line that is heavily used, we will be able to add service to that line and this money may also be used to maintain and repair those cars, rail cars or buses. line b there, transit reliability improvements, that refers to more traditional capital projects like for example the physical b.r.t. lane separation that will be on van he is or geary. on 16th, bus and right-of-way exclusive travel pass for buses on 16th. so then about 2% would go to regional transit providers like bart to upgrade their cars to increase capacity. bart moves a lot of people in the city. a small portion will go to perch d, bike, and transit programs. we would like it to be larger, but the modeling does not show that those programs have a marked effect on transit. and then this is probably the most important slide for business owners and developers. this piece of the proposed fee rates that you see in front of you. i think the most important thing to note is the introduction of a residential fee. at this po

snow starts to fallgain even the off road vehicle has trouble making headway. >> this is actually a perfectly normal road. helicopters are supposed to be flying in supplies, but we have not had contact with the people there. especially in the other villages. 20 kilometers past. >> then it is out of reach. we are stuck. we can't get through and had to turn back it. has been like th for weeks. so now helicopters have stepped in to help. >> they are the only ones that can get supplies to the villages cut off by snow. a at a briefing they are reminded after each mission it is fortunate pass on information to the other members of the operation. the pilots come from all parts of the country, and they are living proof of what many politician in the country are so deeply divided and consider unthinkable. 16 years after the end of the bosnian war the soldiers are united. >> then we fly. >> the two bosnian serbs will fly to the croatian part of the country. they take supplies wherever needed. >> there are no differences between us. we have two helicopter teams and weork closely on all of our missions.

a second mostly sunny day let them make a lot of headway and save a lot of time with some 40 separate projects. >> painting, and electrical, and rubbing landscaping and a lot of different things, have been completed months of work that would have had to happen over a period of time was done in three days. >> reporter: and because of that he said the new bay bridge should be open six months to a year ahead of schedule and he said -- all of us who ride around the bay area, all the time, really appreciate this bridge when we don't have it. >> yeah. its been a rough few days. thank you. >>> because of the reopening bart trains will be a lot less crowded. bart started 24 hour service too com date the extra travelers but those we talked to said there still weren't enough cars. >> yeah we couldn't fit in. i don't know. >> reporter: how long have you been wait something. >> like 20 minutes. >> pretty crowd. kind of have to shove your way through. >> reporter: bart said it'll still run 24 hour service through tomorrow. ac transit has resumed its normal schedule but because norm is a holiday bu

i wasn't making headway the other way. >> all these stories about how ebooks are the future.oof. you're an entrepreneur and self-starter. nothing to $2 million in books alone. you're proof there's a new model. you signed with st. martins, why? >> self-publishing was time consuming. the publishing asspect was taking up so much time that i would rather be writing and working on books, and where wanted to reach the large portion of the market that doesn't have ereaders. >> people like me, by the way. >> there's a lot of people who just aren't that into ebooks. and some people never will be. i wanted to reach everybody, and i wanted to put out the best quality product i could that would reach the most people. and st. martins is the way to do that. >> when did you realize you were a hit 1234. >> i think it was toward the end of 2010. i started selling like a ridiculous amount of books. in december, i sold over 100,000. in january, i sold over 400,000 books. and it was just kind of like this insane, crazy moment when i saw that it didn't make any sense. it was mind boggling. i thou

that warren and i have had, when we sat in his office for one hour, and we felt like we meant some headway, and we must have, because he is here. it is not a coincidence -- it is a coincidence, that the tech community it is following the example that warren hellman has set for this community. warren hellman and i were very close friends, and i think upstairs right now, he has a huge smile on his face. he cared as much about san francisco as any of us. he loved the tech community. a majority of his investments were in tech. he really gets what we are trying to do, and we should advance his cause of civic engagement. after ed decided to run, the tech community rallied around him. in an effort today, not to lose any of them momentum, we are forming this organization called sf citi. we do not want to lose the momentum for the tech agenda in san francisco, and we think this is an exciting day for us. we heard from ed in his neck inauguration when he declared san francisco the innovation capital of the world, and that is the charter that sf citi wants to but -- promote. his inauguration speech w

i hoped that we would be able to make some headway on that. i still hope that will be the case. i think for many of us, that is an important issue. i want to see language around the mou in asserting what sort of protection is the city will have just in case fund-raising is not worthy to be. many of us support supervisor avalos' issues around local hiring. i want to make sure the pier 29 issues, that is a minor detail, but i want to make sure that is settled cleanly by tuesday. i know there will be discussion about whether this moves out of committee today. one possibility, if we need half a day to figure out where we are because we have received an awful lot of paper, that means possibly we recess until tomorrow morning. i have been told that the clerk has informed as we have until 2:00 tomorrow afternoon to finalize the written amendments that might go to a committee next tuesday. that is a possibility. it is up to the committee to decide whether that might be enough time to resolve other issues, or whether we need another week. commissioner avalos: i was thinking more than tom

no sign of headway on the deal to write off greek debt.er on monday, there was a major shift in the greek stance on bailout requirements. leaders of the three coalition parties cave diving into a key demand of the troika, of the ecb, european commission, and the imf. the coalition has now agreed to cut 15,000 public sector jobs. but the international lenders are also pushing for a reduction in the minimum wage. and more cuts degrees''s pensions bill. many people feel greece has reached its pain threshold. >> i do not see how the measures that the troika are proposing can help reach a solution. we're looking at a very hazy picture. i do not know, maybe going back to the drachma would be a good thing. >> they are dragging us through the mud. i do not get it. >> austerity talks set for late monday between prime minister lucas papademos and his coalition partners were postponed until tuesday. gris''s european partners are growing impatient and urging happens to wrap up the talks quickly and avoid a default on its debt. >> i appeal to all parti

the conventional wisdom we would have never had cut, cap, and balance pass the house and make the headway that we did. it's important to keep it in mind. i'll finish with this right here, my favorite scripture, timothy 2:7 i've fought the fight and kept the course and kept the faith and i love it because of the action sorted with it. it's a scripture that characterizes all of you, it's a scripture more importantly that captures this attitude, this history of our country where we've always been willing to fight, to keep and to finish the race and to finish the course. that is our charge in this critical year. every so oft

but police are making headway in catching the thieves. so far, five of them have been caught. and they're continuing to search. you're looking at surveillance video. it's the middle of the day. and a would-be thief is walking up the driveway. >> we were here. >> reporter: but these redwood city neighbors didn't see or hear anything. the video shows a crook climbing over the fence to get into a next door neighbor's home. the thief smashes a window and breaks in. this video was forwarded to police. >> i wish they would catch him. >> reporter: san mateo county and redwood city has been specifically targeted for break-ins while people are away. >> we have to be more alert who is out there. >> reporter: this is one of the neighborhood catch leaders on block. she is alarmed at the number of burglaries. >> these home invasions are not only invading your privacy. but they're getting pretty bold. you see that window? that's the window they climbed through. >> reporter: the next door neighbor's home was hit last year. the thieves posed as painters. >> they carried a flat-screen out. the

their concerns and there have been suggestions that we've got problems, but i think we're making headway and i'm reasonably confident that congress will approve the great majority of this budget, at least i certainly hope so. >> what do you think are the hard spots that might require a little more work on your part? >>> there's a lot of concerns about the base realignment and proposal closures. we asked for two rounds of iraq in 2013 and 2015. this is painful politically. secretary panetta has been through this during his days in the house. so i think he knows that. on the other hand, it is the only effective way to consolidate infrastructure and we believe we need to do that. so clearly iraq is of concern. there's concern about the amount of risk in this budget. we go back to our strategy, we understand we're taking some risk. we can't take this half trillion dollars out of a budget plan and not take some more risk. but we think we've done it based on a strategy that tries to look forward to the future and minimize that risk. so like i say, i'm hopeful that we will see the congress act

we are making great headway in the fundamental understanding of the biology, psychology, and genetics and molecular pathways that underlie common pain conditions. we've identified many of the risk factors that lead to conditions like tmd, fibromyalgia, and many of the so-called common ideopathic pain conditions. so this is, if you will, parallel to what has happened in the cardiovascular community, where risk factors such as lipids, cholesterol, stress, those factors have led to interventions, led to treatments and prevention. we are at that step now in the pain field where we've identified biology factors, genetic factors, psychological factors. not all, but many are now at our hand that we can begin to put them together into models to develop potential new treatment strategies that relate to cognitive behavioral therapies, other types of behavioral therapies that can influence response and distress. we have identified new targets for drug development, novel targets for drug development that i think could be very helpful in the future. we have the pieces, but we don't have initiative
