jensen. >> art jensen, think you, commissioners. let me start by saying that this is a delicate issue to address. the agency's of a wholesale basis, there are different opinions from time to time. they have certain things in common. the also desire or require certainty. they also issue bonds. they are rated by the same agencies as yours. they have a desire for the same kind of certainty that the puc does. a study mentioned, that reflects a potentially is more if your rates are increasing at your end. one of the things that i think that the agencies feel about the proposal, this would be an accurate statement. we meet with them regularly in terms of their feelings, the proposal and a packet shows the assumption of 135 resulting in a rate of $2.80. the rate goes up to 90. several of them have asked me, what are the other combinations within the historical rate setting approach? what are the other alternatives? can we see what that would look like on a graph of historic use? what if the trigger -- or what if the rates were set at 140 i

jensesn is that -- jensen is that we can meet our quota and provide a means for existing methodology. what you see in your packet today is what our intention is to bring to you for final consideration, that would be a continuation of our existing methodology, and it would mean that we would need to change wholesale rates to increase them. that would be consistent with us recovering the balance in account with prior years over the next four years. and specifically, $25 million over next year's rates. and i personally called and talked to most of our wholesale customers about what their thinking was on revenue projection as well as input from the staff. based on a continuing assumption of an additional 5%, we presume deliveries [unintelligible] we think this will be a very solid story when we go to the rating agencies. we will let them know that we have tightened up and are even more conservative. have also said, what about an additional insurance policy? we will be coming to you and asking for your consideration of a new item this year, a trigger reset. so if there are even less delive

the 31-year-old jacob jensen died yesterday in the hospital. instruct ors and skydivers don't seem worried about getting back in the air. >> this is what our sport's about, and when you get in the routine of doing stuff every day, you take it for granted, and when an accident happens. it opens everyone up, you know what i mean? >> reporter: you're going to be a little more careful, is what you're saying? >> yeah. >> reporter: being more careful doesn't change the fact that it was only two weeks ago that two other instructors at this same school were killed in a similar accident. christopher stafsky and patrick mcgowan were killed when their cano canopy's collided. >> there's car accidents all the time. it happens. >> so the fact that your husband and sewn are up there, you don't feel concerned? it doesn't affect you? >> not concerned, no. a little nervous. >> again, that was andy adler reporting. >>> a san jose high school held free screenings today. they hosted the human faces of health care, the school has a medical magnet program to prepare

[reads names] come on up. state your name. >> my name is kelly, i'm a representative of the robert louis stevenson school. president mendoza: again, we will need to keep your voice is down. if you will have a conversation, step outside and be respectful to the speakers. >> as i was saying, i am representing all of the parents for the students that go to the robert louis stevenson school. we have a problem in the school because one of the teachers is absent 70% of the year. imagine what you would do if you have a problem teacher like that attending school. all of the parents are worried right now because she is coming back this year. all of the students, parents, they are scared that the students might be assigned to her class. students and parents deal with different substitutes [unintelligible] they deserve to be taught by teachers that are good role models. we're not sure if she is physically ill or mental

jensen and his staff. back in the 87-92 drought, we have not seen these deliveries to the wholesale customers. president vietor: it would be interesting to see individual way as well. and historically, and the projected. somehow factoring in the purchases, the non-santhe variay which they move. we have it. we have done it. we are happy to provide it. president vietor: thank you. >> we did bring to you that known quantity approach. a number of our customers applauded that he reread we were not planning on bringing that back, obviously. we also discussed are ratcheting adjustments. that is not something that was welcomed by much. what we are welcoming back is -- generally the way we have always done it, which is one chance to reset during the year. that would provide some rate stability, but at least something this year -- if interest rates are going down, b.b. -- the able -- to be able to set rates. that is still out there. there are different points of view on that. again, everybody would like certainty to

jensen? >> absolutely. >> is any one of you of a mind that there is a mutually exclusive application of the environmental wilderness laws and our security? >> that they're not exclusive, i agree. >> you agree they're not exclusive. >> i agree. >> absolutely not, we're seeing examples where we're seeing success and i think just this year we embarked upon a joint operation called operation trident that is occurring all this year that is proving and demonstrating how we can work together and achieve both those goals. >> with respect to fires i assume it's in your interest in forestry to make sure the borders are protected and people aren't coming in and being part of human fires, correct? >> that is correct. >> the same with you, are you as a representative of the border patrol here to lodge a complaint of any sort about the way that environmental laws or conservation laws or wilderness laws or anything else are impeding the ability of you and your men and women to protect this country and prote

jensen?>> i agree. >> is there ample training to all three departments to have an appreciation of the mou a enthe chain of how they corporate and work with others? >> there's an ongoing systematic way for folks to be exposed to it. we have it set up at each of the locations, and so that's a constant process because there's turnover in the field, relationships change, and so there's a constant, you know, revolution of people who learn and then need to know and then move on. the next group gets the same kind of thing. it's like any other relationship. there are ebbs and flows in the level of contact and its effectiveness. >> are there a high percentage of people in between trainings or not trained yet? >> i have to get you specific numbers, but it's our intent at each of the levels to have folks subject matter experts in the mou and then have the responsibility for the liaison and operational contact. >> are any of you aware of any particular accident or incidents where the border patrol agents

jensen. in your written testimony coming is that the four services dedicated 13 officers to the coronado forest. 10 of them are accompanied by canine units. what is the forest service total commitment to the border zone across the southwest border? are those of us is on course to mark in what capacity did they have to defend themselves against criminals with high- powered weapons? >> i will stand to be corrected. i understand there is the range of 50 agents in the southwestern region of the four service. >> are they on? >> to my understanding, yes, they are. >> not able to apprehend somebody? >> yes, they are. >> how often does that happen? if >> now have to get back you on the specifics of how often that happens. they undertake joint operations so i imagine it would be a fairly routine duty. >> your written testimony states that the forest service and the border patrol "rely on each other's strength to work toward the common goals and mutual interest for the public national forest." basicall

shirley jensen. >>> all right spencer you want to try your tall went that. >> those calls would scareay. work was the hog calling contest. here's a look at live doppler 7 hd. we have scattered precipitation. mainly quiet but south bay east of san jose. area of precipitation and snow in the higher elevation and snow top mount hamilton. travel up to the north bay where north of napa in fact going newspaper lake county south of clear lake we have an area of rainfall mainly light rain and some mixed precipitation and snow in the higher terrain. now check out this picture. this is what it looked like at rockville road near fairfield today. in the area where the weak tornado touched down early today. how about this. this is hank. hank is scampering through the hail stone in march continue east. lots of hail on the ground. around the bay area today as we had turbulent weather no. hail tomorrow but giants play the home opener at at&t park after sunny skies. 1:35 in the afternoon. chilly take on the cardinals. here the 7 day forecast. chilly tomorrow. maybe isolated shower or 2. things warm-up

jensen?>> thank you. members of the subcommittees, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to provide the didn't's views on border security on national forest system lands. you have my written testimony for the record, but i want to emphasize some key points. first, the department and the forest service take very seriously the needs to secure our nation's border. we fully support as it is in our common interest that we address illegal u.s. border crossings, the smuggling of contra band and people across the border, the crimes committed against those smuggled, and other unlawful activities. through all of this, we have to recognize and empathize with the plight of undocumented foreign nationals seeking a better life, yet there are impacts to national forests on both the northern and southern borders particularly so on portions of the coronado national forests where there's excessive trash, human caused fire, and the safety of the recreating public. we are undertaking successfu

the final -- judge had demanded judge jensen which we discussed in our book. there is substantive well reason, and several lower courts disagree and another round of appeals after another round of appeals we may see a far reaching final decision. or we may not. but the initial litigation is fleshed out on how the ac a reach far beyond fundamental american principle of limited government and federal structure at the constitution. to learn more, read the book and since we are working on sales, will these and part-time riders, by one if you can. the big message is not just how bad this is or can't work and must not be able to pull, hard to do in part, we overlooked the political system. distressed our struggling e. economy and misdirected the future of health care decisionmaking about what is no longer believable is that the future implementation of obamacare is inevitable. our political discourse revitalized with millions of grassroots americans more in gauge and still confused. repeal is not enough. it will provide a good start. we have to clear a heaping pile

one thing from elizabeth jensen's article -- guest: you make exactly my point as someone who would defundhe corporation for public broadcasting, susan. bill has a wonderful product to bring to the table. and there are folks who want to finance that product. is there a role for federal seed money? sure, there is. but in today's fiscal climate, when we already have $14 trillion in debt and looks like we will have another seven under the president's proposal over the next 10 years, there is no way to justify that to the young people in my life. host: last question before we get to calls. today congress is set to debate h.r. 1255 to prevent a shutdown of the government of the united states. this suggest that if the deadline is not reached, h.r. 1 would become law. what is the point of this resolution today, which would have little chance of that to the succeeding? host: i am sorry to hear you describe it -- host: not on the floor of job -- but it would have to pass the senate. guest: you say that, and you could be right. you have studied the senate a lot more than i have. if you look back of

build a jensen's -- to jet engines, and it's hard for me to imagine other speakers to allow something that with the fund all large projects that they wanted to see funded in their local district. tinny times -- denny hastert would not allow being defunding of o'hare airport. are there rules where he would say, we have to get the majority and they will set the rules so that they cannot lose? >> he allowed that on the big c.r. and a lot of other roles have been opened. strictly speaking, he has piloted the problem that everything has to be wide open. but i do not think anyone thought he would do that on everything. you do have to run the house. i don't think he has done it on any politically sensitive question, and that is something to watch for. on the continuing resolution, hundreds of amendments, and i do not see a live by a partisan bills coming out of committees, but the votes were bipartisan. when you have a house rules committee decides there will only be three amendments, and the majority controls it, they will go up and down on party lines. when you say that anyone can offer an
