[speaker not understood] would you like to introduce the matter? >> yes. as a matter of policy, this is given staff a great deal of discomfort. the idea that we would revisit a settlement agreement we think contradicts the purpose of the settlement agreement. in particular, the settlement agreement itself contains language that says a stipulation will be the final disposition of the matter. there is certainly language that can be put into settlement agreements when we bring them before the commission and perhaps the commission doesn't think they go far enough. but to actually reopen them obviously recreate aid hornet's net in a specific case here. but we also think if

school level. i'm here to talk about common core and i'm very excited about the rigor but i'm also worried about the detracking issue. big picture, i have done a lot of research and follow the research and totally understand it supports good results. well, it supports good results when it's implemented thought fully deliberately with attention paid to the needs of all the learners. however, i have concerns that the huge, i just feel like a lot of veteran teachers, seasoned teachers are missing at the middle school level. my daughter is in 7th grade so i have seen it. so unless we have very seasoned and veteran middle school teachers that are capable of understanding the math content, i feel like detracking i guess it would negative impact the student. so basically my question comes down to the district. will the district invest resources in all our teachers and i feel we can use extra support and class size. i have a hard time teaching a class of 35 students. anyway, thank you very much. >>> hello,

and the nitrate levels have been shown to be increasing over that time. narrator: if nitrate levels continue to rise, algae will continue to flourish, creating nets that prevent light from reaching plants living in the water. if these plants are lost, the oxygen they produce will also be lost, resulting in an anoxic environment. this can cause the death of animals and beneficial organisms living in the water, rendering the water unusable for human consumption. this is not natural, the algae. this is all algae that comes from higher nutrient levels than there should be in this water. there shouldn't be any algae growing here at all. i mean, i've never seen it this bad. i mean, this is really kind of disgusting. you can see it all along the banks here. nitrate comes from fertilizer, predominantly -- fertilizer and animal waste, including human waste. but there's a lot of agriculture around here, so they fertilize their crops, and it runs off through the surface water into the ground water and then comes out here. you want another one, or is that... the whol

i see students at lower level and they are in the regular classes and not honor levels, they are considered unable and not able to perform at this level of math. what i see with these students, my african american and latino students that they are extremely capable despite the label of honors and not honors. they have already been labeled and don't try harder. for me the higher track didn't benefit me in college in the end. what they didn't want was speed. they wanted me to think critically and think deeply. i think we should focus on that and not how to accelerate, but the knowledge as opposed to going faster through the curriculum. >> my name is michael brid. i will make my comment brief. i'm lead instructor for bert high school. one concern i wanted to address is that of my colleague lily lion and many parents and many of us because i care not only about the equity piece but the college ready piece so they are most prepared. the biggest things to point out there is to please listen to what the math community and college community is saying that the emphasis should not be now detracking t

higher level of risk. the secretary has characterize that as posing unacceptable risk to our ability to provide national security and to do our part in providing national security for the nation. and in particular, where we see those risk manifesting we obviously would be seeing the force get even smaller than the reductions that the secretary outlined last week democrats to modernizations would go even deeper which we think would put at risk our ability to keep pace with technologically advanced adversaries. readiness would be a serious problem, has been a serious challenge over the last couple of years. we would not be able to recover readiness levels that we need which would never to have netted to have negatively impact not only our ability to be absent present in the world but also to be able to respond promptly to a crisis. so i think our view is that the combined effects to capacity to my capability, and readiness that we would experience under prolonged sequestration would significantly raise their

what would be the level of involvement of these different agencies? would they work together to solve this crisis? >> you have an issue of water security, for security, going up to the level of pandemic. you have a mass migration of people. you have critical infrastructure under stress. all of this is happening at one time and at one. on a state whose internal capacity is very weekend. so, we are painting a scenario where we could very possibly be seeing a state of state collapse. >> u.s. officials acknowledged that these new challenges would require a shift from a traditional military role of fighting wars, requiring leveraging existing network of partners around the world to deal with expected fallout from climate change. >> we realize that we had a humanitarian crisis and natural disasters in the region. an event of this magnitude would require a much larger sort of response, and much more sophisticated response. this kind of situation would be difficult. >> the u.s. and bangladeshi militaries are collaborating on a range of issues, including count

the levels were relatively high. narrator: the tests further confirmed rebecca jim's suspicions -- that the children were being affected by lead poisoning. many of the problems lead causes in the human body appear to be associated with its ability to mimic or inhibit the action of another metal -- calcium. calcium can only enter the body's cells by binding to a specific protein. once in the cells, it plays an important role in the conduction of nerve impulses, vital for normal brain function. lead binds itself to the same protein as calcium, interfering with these processes. this interference can have lasting effects on the developing brain of a child, such as loss of i.q. and speech, language, and behavioral problems. jim: it changes the way the whole class learns. if you have half of your class or a third of your class lead-poisoned, which is a real possibility, you can almost chase off a teacher. [ laughs ] it changes how things work. narrator: but lead is not the only metal this community is being exposed to. in

then it leveled here and then it leveled here. there are constant levels in an upward-going staircase. if you cherry pick the data, you can say okay, it's gotten level for that period. but if you really look at the trend of the identical data, that's the real trend. that's the actual trend line through the data. so when somebody comes to you and says ignore that trend line, instead look at it having gotten flat, and by the way forget all those other times it got flat before, what do you think about somebody who made an argument to you like that? it's a ridiculous argument. it ruins the credibility of the person who makes it. and how you can believe that is astonishing. mr. schatz: well, and i think you're exactly right. in some ways, that's a more dangerous argument than some of the other denier arguments because it sounds like science. it's really not but it sounds like science. but the most recent, in my view most absurd, and we have now i think seen it for three or four winters, is every time there is snow, somebody -- at first

i mean, the water is at three feet compared to sea level -- sea level baseline. there is no flooding of sharp park golf course. flooding doesn't happen in sharp park golf course until you get close tore 9 or 10 feet to sea level. that's where the flooding becomes significant. maybe somewhere around 8 feet. there is really no difference -- there is no -- there has never been a flood at sharp park during the spring and summertime and that's not going to change under this alternative. it's a little more water that exists in that level to crowd that owl. ut. >> thank you. that's my question to the the the appellant. i would like rec and park to respond, but i'll allow my questions to ask questions to the appellant before i do that ~. >> okay, colleagues, any other questions to the appellant? supervisor kim, do you want to ask your questions to the department? >> i am just hoping you could respond to the statement that was just made by the appellant that we already have close to three feet or more of water and that doesn't currently flood the golf course. >> superviso

narrator: inadequate treatment of human waste contributes to the increase in nitrogen levels.: what we're running into right now is that we are seeing the impact of the population increase and the limits of the available wastewater treatment technology that we've got. we get rid of our wastewater in the same system that we take our drinking water from. we're seeing water quality impacts in almost all of our surface waters, and that means both our salty estuaries and our freshwater ponds. the majority of those are falling into the category of being impaired. so, we have to balance how many people we have, and we also have to balance the technology that we use to treat the wastewater that we put back into the system. narrator: eric davidson investigates the levels of nitrogen from vehicle emissions, the significance of which is only now being studied. he arranges air samplers at different distances from roadways to trap nitrogen. the filters are then taken for analysis. dr. davidson: we've learned through our research that the samplers nearest the road collect about five times a

they take c02 out of the air and global co2 levels fall. and you may have read recently that c02 levels reach a new milestone 400 parts per million and that is true. hay did. at the end of last winter briefly but they sense dropped again over the summer. they're now in that rising part of the curve that is a very recent measurement 296 parts per million an this saw tooth will continue in a couple of years from now and never go mete 400 parts per million and keep rising as long as we continue to put c02 into the atmosphere an we show no signs of this point of slowing down. and if we want to see how well we're doing on this process, on a longer time scale, we've got to go back to ice core records. so what you're looking at here is a record of c02 from a famous ice core that was thrilled on antarctica. the whole ice sheet is layers and layers of snow, that were laid down year by year year bier and never melted. and as you can see here, you're looking at your left once again we're going time is going forward from left to right. that is 800,000

now with co2 levels we could reach those levels around the middle of this century. after that we could reach levels not seen since 50 million years ago at the end of the century. co2 has certain properties that make it a greenhouse guest. i will not give you the global warming should deal because you know, it but it is very basic physics. because this that traps the he darr the service of the earth has been understood since the 1850's. so this was constructed back in the 1850's by a british scientist named candle. he designed this machine he was interested to look at the properties of different gases. testing carbon dioxide he realized right away he found out something very important. carbon dioxide is transparent to the visible part of the spectrum. it does not block light but the heat that escapes from the earth to repeat back to use space, some of that is blocked. already in the 1850's realizing that was important it kept the earth warmer than if we had the atmosphere with no greenhouse gases. so that is called the natural greenhouse effect if we had no greenhous

it's contributing to sea level rise. it imperils businesses and homes in coastal communities like portsmouth. new hampshire is very popular. hampton beach is experiencing greater storm surges and beach erosion. and the outdoor recreation community is facing shorter winters, less snow, and that results in fewer tourism dollars. and wildlife and public health are becoming increasingly vulnerable to diseases. in new hampshire, tourism is our state's second largest industry. it accounts for $9.3 billion of the state's economy. it provides jobs and economic growth throughout the state. but climate change could put some of new hampshire's best attractions in jeopardy. the fall foliage in new hampshire is a main draw for visitors from around the world who spend millions annually to see our beautiful landscape. but as climate change continues, those warmer temperatures are causing dulling and brownness of climate-stressed unhealthy trees. another driver of tour nfl new hampshire is our state's outdoor recreation activities like

the common store state standards list several demanding high level shifts. so when we talk about what's different from what we have been doing is around the balancing informational and literary text so it's literacy in each of the content areas as well as looking deeply at complex texts and learning how to read closely across the grade levels and what that mean for how we read at each of the grade levels and answers and writing from sources and that uses evidence of text which is a huge shift because we heard president fewer mention earlier about the being asked what do you think, right? so being able to marshall evidence and having an analysis and being comfortable doing that is something we start early on from dind -- kinder all the way through 12th grade. and as sfusd focusing on academic conversation and learning how to marshall that evidence text and building on information amongst your peers is very important. so obviously that means we are moving from basic comprehension to pulling from multiple sources to consider multiple points of view for lenses f

again at the global level, the national level, organizational level down to the individual level. we teach our kids the basics of hygiene things like cover your mouth when you cough. we teach them not just to protect themselves but also to give them an ethic of their responsible for protecting everyone else that come into contact with during the day. that is the same kind of ethic we need to be building in cyberspace and that's the only way we will get to a greater sense of actual cybersecurity. so to bring this story full circle, at the beginning of the talk i explained how i was first introduced to computers as a young kid. now if you had said to my 7-year-old self one day this machine will allow bad guys to steal money from people, steal their identity, may be be a weapon of mass disruption i would have told my dad not to turn on that big power button, don't do it. today we wouldn't have it any other way because this same machine that the world has created has given all of us what back then we would have thought of as superpowers, the idea that you could run down the answer to

in 2012, i attended a hearing on sea level rise and heard testimony about how rising sea levels is increasing the flood zones and increasing damage from flood surges. we heard testimony about how rising sea levels are increasing the size of flood zones. and one example they used, they said that is possibility that a few inches of sea level rise would result in a storm surge that could flood the new york city subway system. it sounded like something out of science fiction. yet six months later, that's exactly what happened when hurricane sandy hit new york city and flooded the subways. and my colleagues do not need to be reminded of the cost of hurricane sandy. it cost taxpayers a staggering $60 billion. so when people talk about the harmful consequences of climate change and its costs in terms of homes and dollars and lives, they are not talking about some far-off future problem. climate change is already hurting us. unfortunately, mr. president, only one of my colleagues from the other side of the aisle -- the ranking member of the energy and natural resources committee, senator murkowski fr

everyone's looking at this 105 level. what i notice most is the acceptance or rejection of price activity. so if you look back, clearly we recently rejected that 80 level and unable to get down to 70. we saw the big comeback into the $100 area. up above 100 right now and zero in terms of rejection whatsoever so i think there's room to the upside now in the oil. >>last but not leastgold. >>i love it. gold has been high energy and also silver. the metals across the board for the most part are benefitting from the flight to quality or that safe haven type trade. gold in terms of acceptance or rejection? well clearly we just rejected that 1200 level. right now a lot of traders that i know have targets set on the 1400 level. gold's got comfort right now, right around 1350. gold is pointed north and it had a vertical day yesterday. when the market goes vertical out of balance, it's seeking value and it's a mistake to get in front of that. who knows where value is? once it goes vertical it's seeking value so the market's trying

it can only survive in very shallow water level. simply by allowing that water level to rise, the vegetation will be killed, there will be no need to do this invasive construction process. the city will save probably a significant portion of the million dollar budget that they put forward for this project. and the environmental concerns that we raised about acid sulfides and cumulative effects would go away. but never been willing to consider that alternative because they put together a mitigated negative declaration which was not required. the consideration of alternatives under law, instead of looking at this issue through a full blown environmental impact report. >> and just to clarify on that point, that betion' not the current practice of rec and park now. we don't let the water rise slightly in the spring and summer to have the outcome that you just spoke about. >> that's correct. under current conditions the rec and park has constraints on pumping during the winter season when the [speaker not understood] of superior courtes
