and i look forward to working with you. and, of course, you know, one of the things that i think it's an illustration of the kind of person you are, the kind of supervisor you are is that as you leave, you leave behind not only the work, but you also leave in place someone that you have mentored and someone that you have helped, and that's i think a very important testament of your leadership. the fact that you're passing it on and i look forward to working with supervisor tang as she goes on board, but the fact that she is there is another testament to your leadership. thank you. >> supervisor avalos. >> supervisor chu, congratulations. i was wondering when this is actually going to happen, when you would become an assessor. it was foretold months ago, but i think it's a good position for you to be going to. i've been very, very impressed with you the moment i met you when we actually were on an interview on television debating the budget, a very strange budget i was trying to defend. and you were trying to hold onto the bu

when i looked up into the cliff, i saw stacks of rock behind a little spall of the cliff that had stuck out and i realized there was a granary up there. i immediately started for it, climbing hand over hand up the cliff base. my breath tasted hot with discovery. i had found a secret. in past travels i had seen many granaries belonging to the anastasi but they had all been broken open by pot hunters or even by the residents themselves. this one had been built so no one would see it, like an attic accessed through a hidden floor. the structure was rectangular, like a cupboard. i touched its face with probing, diagnostic fingers, measuring it my eyes. 3 feet tall, 2 feet wide and 3 feet deep. i got up on my haunches and lightly dusted off the granaries roof which was undamaged. for 3,000 years not a breeze had entered this chamber, not an inkling of light. what tightly woven baskets were here, what woven textiles, what stockpile of cobalt blue and honey-colored seed corn left many years before the boom of spanish rifles. with my fingers i traced through the dust of fallen rock debris on th

>> madam chair, i look forward to the opportunity and it is true. i reached out to senator harkin and you the last few weeks expressing my desire that we have a good committee operation. i congratulate you on your chairmanship, and delighted to hear your suggestion, perhaps more than a suggestion that we're going to operate under regular order. i've been asked what i like the on this committee and i answer yes, it is a great committee and i look forward to your tenacity to see that we do that and i look forward to working with y you. >> thank you. >> first of all, in that regard i look forward to the hearings in which we get to the point in which we are talking about the appropriations process, the budget is passed and we don't our work. i look forward addressing the issues of spending in a long-term setting rather than a matter of a few months in which sequestration will apply. i need to start, madam secretary, as you as you might expect. i don't think in the two plus years that i've been a member of this committee for the homeland security committe

wile we are asking tour owners to tackle this big project i look forward to working with the mayor and other. i want to take a moment to recognize 3 other supervisors >> mr. president, we're fast forwarding to supervisor farrell, supervisor kim. okay >> thank you madam clerk today, i'm calling for a special hearing for storm presentness. we're looking forward to working with the public utilities commission on our cities preparedness as you remember there was a storm that occurred and the out flow brew off a manhole cover and sent sewage water onto the beach and it went through 3 feet of sand and it resulted in bacteria leveled levels into the ocean. it resulted from heavy rain combined with other waters in the neighboring streets. as the reality of climate change it make sense to - that our city a taking care of of this. this winter symptom we will be prepared to meet the changes of the coming years. as i member of the air pollution board we've been looking at data on earthquake preparedness and also there maybe storms hitting other parts of the country with the same issues. i'm lookin

i think it's more of a mental health issue and looking at the nuance of that than the guns themselves you see, when people throw the car analogy at me, i say, hang on. because cars are incredibly highly regulated in america. the driving death rate has absolutely plummeted since they brought in tough laws around that. for example, you have to use insurance and liability. they're well regulated. what is wrong ideologically with guns being regulated the same way? >> there are regulations on gun. state by state that changes and they're affected. but i do think they're a tool. and the infinitesimally small amount of people using them in the wrong hands are dangerous, but i don't think the bulk of gun owners are doing inappropriate or the wrong thing with those weapons and the regulations, you know, are what they are. >> but you really believe -- and i totally respect the second amendment. i sort of agree with joe biden today that you can pretty well defend yourself in america with a shotgun. you don't need to have these ar-15 assault rifles, which i used myself to try to show people that i

but despite all the roadblocks and defends the way i look at it i made it in. there's an old urban legend that says that the u.s. army stopped using circular targets for rifle practice because the soldiers would be hesitant to shoot at people on the battlefield the logic is that if you practice shooting something that looks like an enemy soldier you'll be desensitized to a killing real enemy soldiers so again the logic is to practice shooting at what you want to kill so you won't hesitate and speaking of not hesitating the law enforcement targets incorporated has created a special line of paper targets for police called new more hesitation so it's on these targets well maybe mexican drug cartel members or l.a. street gangs nope children and pregnant women yeah law enforcement targets inc offers a product to desensitize police from. hesitating to blow away women carrying the unborn and innocent children and it's even sicker than that i bet law enforcement agencies are probably buying these things up by the thousands but that's just my opinion. we are facing a lo

if i look at the figures look at the situation of the russian economy right now it's looking pretty stable. explain not to say look this is absolutely i'm well the balkan of last year's growth which totaled about forty percent annually it took place in the first half of the year what's that's when the interest rates in the country were at a historic low over. eleven point eight percent i know you're probably laughing because that's outrageous lehi i most western standards will go back to that minute but that really allowed the banks primarily russia's two biggest lenders the bank and the t.v. to boost their mortgage portfolios by sixty percent in the first six months of the year i mean i think it's important to point out that the situation here in russia is not expected to worsen the share the economic situation so does that mean that the banks should be expanding on this is that what we should expect what that's certainly what the two biggest lenders of our bank and d.t.b. are claiming they're saying that their mortgage portfolios this year are going to be comparable to those of two thous

so, i look forward to having an opportunity to discuss this item. one of the things that i appreciate about what the public defenders office has done is that they have done a pretty thorough analysis. they did a comprehensive caseload work load analysis that actually shows the needs of that office and why it's important for us to provide the additional resources. ultimately we're talking about resources that are covering existing positions and things that are ready being expended. i certainly look forward to the opportunity to have that discussion with my colleagues at the budget committee. and i also want to thank the controller's office for their guidance and advice on this item. i think that it's appropriate as the advice for us to have a discussion about the needs of this office. and i do remind folks that the public defenders office plays a very important role in the criminal justice system under the sixth amendment of the constitution. there are certain requirements and responsibilities that that office has and we want to make sure that that of

i look forward to building on that. i also want to join with you in welcoming the new members of our committee, on our side senators coburn and heller and on your side also senators manchant, warren, and heitkamp. we welcome you to the committee. today we'll hear about the ongoing implementation of dodd frank. academic researchers estimate when dodd/frank is fully estimate there had will be more than 13,000 new regulatory restrictions in the code of federal regulations. over 10,000 pages have already been proposed, requiring as is estimated over 24 million compliance hours each year. that's just the tip of the iceberg. that's some 400 rules required by dodd/frank, roughly one-third of it finalized. about one-third have been proposed but not finalized and roughly one-third have not even yet been proposed. together the hundreds of dodd/frank proposed rules are far too complex, offering confusing and often contradictory standards and regulatory requirements. i'm concerned that the regulators do not understand and are not fo

i could see these people leaning over and checking. it looked exactly like the beautiful things about the ranch. i think he was pretty much in the never look back philosophy about the coit. i don't think he ever went to visit again after we moved from telegraph hill, which was only five or six years later. i don't think he ever had to see it when the initials are scratched into everything and people had literally destroyed the lower half of everything. >> well, in my view, the tower had been pretty much neglected from the 1930's up until the 1980's. it wasn't until then that really enough people began to be alarmed about the condition of the murals, the tower was leaking. some of the murals suffered wear damage. we really began to organize getting funding through the arts commission and various other sources to restore the murals. they don't have that connection or thread or maintain that connection to your history and your past, what do you have? that's one of the major elements of what makes quality of life in san francisco so incredible. when

i am looking for suggestions a humane way to address this discrepancy. i would like to budget analyst to take a look at the cost the agency incurs when moving tenants from a different property largely due to the public safety concern. it is an exorbitant amount of cost. getting units up and ready. it will be helpful for the budget analyst to look at other housing authorities in california. supervisor campos mentioned this. very fortuitous. or other states. urban properties, section 8 program. my understanding is that we could better administer our section 8 program. i would like to hear ideas that you come up with. i want to hear creative solutions and recommendations that are informed about the work that hud is doing so that we board members can provide policy direction to the authority and also support our public housing residents and begin to address our house and challenges which is no secret. we are facing serious challenges. i can provide you with documents that would be to everything for you. and i appreciate you, in the task that you are going to

and so i look forward to that. so i obviously i would prefer that we put this out of committee today, but given the comments of president chiu and supervisor kim, and the desire to have this working group, i will support the motion to continue to february 25. supervisor farrell. >> supervisor farrell: thank you, chair wiener. thank you to my colleagues. you know, again, i think to echo what a number of us have said, i do respect the the dialogue that happened today. and i do concur with chair wiener that the comments that both people on both sides of the debate acknowledge the other side's merits and a desire to work together so it is appropriate that we decide to do that. and i look forward to the next few weeks. this is something that is -- as i mentioned before is not going away. it's affecting families on a monthly basis here and it's something that i very much want to see tackled and handled as soon as we can and i commit full time and resources to make that happen and look forward to that debate 12k3w4r-78 tha

. >> when i look at how the economy is performing, i look at export and import growth and they raise alarm bells. i look at the big change in the trade deficit in one month, and that raises alarm bells. i look at the sharp drop in consumer confidence and consumer sentiment. that raises alarm bells. >> reporter: another immediate concern is the impact of higher payroll taxes, which could force some households to cutback spending. in addition, gasoline prices are rising. and if they hit the psychologically important $4 a gallon mark, many consumers could also pull back on shopping. and long term, federal budget problems remain one of the biggest hurdles to growth. the u.s. is running an annual deficit of $1.1 trillion. >> we still have some fiscal speed bumps coming. and then we have the question of what they actually do on the fiscal side. so, right now, the economy and the fiscal situation are wrapped up into one really nasty ball of wax. >> reporter: keep in mind that many of the international problems that have existed for more than a year haven't gone away. slowing economies in eu

i look at what's the chance of activists' success in that situation. a lot of bill's position to my fund, a lot of carl's positions in my fund. they're both -- this is like the super bowl of activists, right? how can you pick one -- >> what do you do right now in herbalife? you're tracking both of them. and here's the follow-up so you can answer both. how long do you hold that position? are you just a straight momentum on the play or is this a longer endeavor for yourself? >> no, i would -- i hold the 13ds general until they're no longer required to be a 13d filer. so i hold it as long as they hold it. i haven't seen the 13d yet, i haven't read it. i haven't spoken to carl. i don't know what his investment thesis is. i don't know what the activist catalyst is, so i'm not sure whether i'm going to take a position or not. the fact that bill is on the other side of it, obviously, is meaningful to me. so we'll see what the 13d says. >> i want to go to some of the activists you do follow. just generally, people want to know what the secret to your success an

that's why i was looking at costco. have this identifiable event coming up. >> walk us through the trade. >> as simple as it gets. when the stock was 102 i bought the march 100 put. paid 1.20 for it, the max i can risk, 1% of the underlying. i have this event. between 98, 80 and 1 i can lose up to 1.20. below that i have the substantial ability to make profits and above 100 i lose the 1.20. what i want to do here is i think the market is set to roll over. i have this event. i will look to spread this put that i own on any weakness. >> do you like this trade? do you like the name he picked to do the trade on? >> you highlighted this before. i suspect costco is a little bit less sensitive to marginal dollars but i like the trade for sure. it's interesting. the options market provides you with real dilemmas about how to put trades on. there aren't many dilemmas. the price of options is cheap. that means wh you make directional bet long or short you want to be net long premium. you don't need to get complicated about it. a p

[♪...] in the impact segment tonight, reaction from the talking points joining us from washington is charles krauthammer. i'm not as optimistic and i'm not rooting for either party here but i don't think that the senator understands that most people are distracted. they don't pay attention. they are not real interested in the debt because it doesn't mean anything to them. gun control and immigration are going the president's way right now. am i wrong? >> no, i think you are wrong. >> i think on gun control they are not going the president's way. i think, in fact, see with gun control that it is going to split the democrats. the reason it will not come out of the senate is there are too many red state democrats who are afraid what's going to happen to them has happened 20 years ago when so many lost their seats as a result of gun

if i look at how blood pressure what we'd be if i looked at colon cancer where will we be if i look at breast cancer where will we be if i look at. it to one it is clear that the tremendous growth of hiv and aids in america's black community is driven by many factors yet no matter whom we spoke to physicians clergy political leaders and those afflicted with the virus it was clear that the real culprits behind the epidemic are ignorance miscommunication and most importantly a collective silence about how it is transmitted what it means to live with hiv and its phenomenal spread across black america. if we sincerely want to help the spread of this virus discipline problems that frankly is substantially preventable if there were really good public health campaigns if people were really focused on this problem you certainly should be able to have a lot less a treasury a lot less human suffering and you would and that would mean a lot less energy and resources both in that a societal level but also personally trying to deal with it down the why would someone thirty seconds i was in london i

so when i look at this, i spoke to people who have put out a request and i was looking for success stories and i talked i talked to people he said they take out some of their debts. i found people who in one case on somebody who is hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. he was an airline pilot earning birdie would have earned. most of his that came from and home renovation and then he and his wife tried to better their position. they started a small business. what happened is they ended up with more debt. or try not to interject yourself. you're trying to be a reporter. i think i finally sent from the one that you declare bankruptcy? he said dave says not to. i couldn't believe it would really help this person to not declare bankruptcy. he was never going to take out of this. or he was going to so damage his future retirement prospects, children college and the rest that it would have been worth it. the idea of this one-size-fits-all ice doesn't work for very many people. >> host: you point to the highest level of bankruptcy and as elizabeth warren who did a study on more than half of a
