president mike miller gave us a briefing. >> these are battery powered lights. on the side here is a handle. okay. now, flick it on. >> reporter: it's hot in the sierra in the summer. but you dress warm to go into the mine. the temperature drops 40 degrees as soon as you walk in. what you walk into is a damp, dripping ominous looking tunnel, the first of miles of catecombs that go deep into the earth. the only light is what you are wearing on your head. if you can avoid slipping in the puddles or banging your head on overhead pipes and telling yourself you are not nervous you start noticing your surroundings. for instance you notice that you are walking on a railroad track used for the trains that bring out the other other then you find yourself wondering what happens when a train comes along. >> you know, there are general accidents associated with any heavy construction job. but everybody here knows it is so dangerous that we take a lot of steps necessary to be careful with explosives or with, oh, just communication with each other so everybody knows what the

mike. >> good morning, chairman, commissioners, my name is michael campbell. as ms. miller just highlighted, i am going to give a status update on the variety of areas we are pushing aggressively at the puc to make sure the rules that are set up are as favorable toward the cca as possible. right now, the deck is stacked against us. as mentioned, we will have discussion from representative from the brent and san joaquin valley power authority. first of all, i wanted to let the pc commission know that on september 9 there was a senate committee chair a meeting. i was invited to speak at that meeting, as were marin and san joaquin folks, as well as nancy miller and chairman mirkarimi. i know president vietor was also in attendance. we gave presentations to the senator to discuss the issues we are facing with pg&e and areas where the enabling legislation could be beefed up. i think that was a good conversation, and hopefully, we will see movement in sacramento associated with those points. we are aggressively participating in a number of proceedings alongside our allies. we are

miller is in honolulu. good morning, sunlen. >> reporter: good morning, mike and vinita.as' beachfront rental home in hawaii. a suspect was avoiding arrest for outstanding parking tickets. he went through security perimeters in the obamas' neighborhood. now the president was not nearby. he was playing golf far away from the house. he was never in any danger but it was just one more hit in an already bumpy vacation. the president arrives here late, flying out of washington just moments after congress wrapped up. immediately after, he was put in hawaiian mood. a lei for the hometown boy. while the president may visit the beaches, the clear blue waters are anything but. the water's more brown than blue. bad storms brought in debris and sewer pipes overflowed. warning signs are up. not one for warnings, apparently bo obama, the first family dog who happily romped in the water and enjoyed his first visit to the island. just in case the beaches don't clear up, the president brought some books to read. ronald reagan's biography. but the white house says it's still very much a wo

miller. that's not my words but his. admiral mikemullen, chairman of our joint chiefs of staff, reiterated this point on march the 26th of 2010 when he said that the new start -- quote -- "features a much more effective, transparent verification method that demands quicker data exchanges and notifications." in addition, this does not take into account that some of the inspections under the new start treaty allow us to do two inspections at once. two inspections at once, unlike the first start treaty. i'd also say that the inspection regime that we have in place under this treaty has also been changed to reflect the current security environment and an enhanced relationship with the russian federation and more than a decade of our experience in conducting inspections. the new start inspection regime is simpler and cheaper than that which was conducted under the original start treaty. we conduct fewer overall inspections under this new treaty because there are, in fact, fewer sites in russia to inspect. and we've gotten better at inspec

mike, i got it. i will pop your hand if you touch the microphone. cool. your name, where you from, your question? >> state senator, hare miller. >> tennessee. >> can you anticipate a ton of lawsuits. give an example of tennessee, we have 64 republicans, 34 democrats and one independent. in the senate 2013. i agree with you, roland, i don't think they're going to take any prisoners, when they start redrawing those district lines. so we can anticipate a lawsuit, do you anticipate lawsuits coming throughout this country from the parties that are in the minorities? >> heck yes. republicans have more power on the state legislative level than they have had in 50 years. the end game is all about lawsuits, republicans are far more prepared and far more resources. they focus on this much better than we have. we have been quietly having discussion. we not nearly where they are. we go to the state legislatures and fight on budget issues. they know to cut and plan in the end game for lawsuits. >> my point is not only yes will there be lawsuits but we need to be entering and redistricting and preparing now for them. >> name. >> i'm i'm jo
