miller miller and i, our great state, california, it's 31.6%. i ask unanimous consent to include in the record a chart indicating the under water mortgage percentages for each state in the nation. the chair: the gentlewoman's statement is covered under general leave. ms. richardson: the housing crisis is far from over and anyone who thinks we've stabilized the neighborhoods in this country is not living in the real world, certainly not with americans who hi in my district. now is not time to terminate n.s.p. it should be phased out gradually after it serves the purpose it was intended to to. i offer the richardson amendment because the grant prossvide critical assistance to state and local governments and nonprofit developers that collaborate. how do they collaborate rate? to demolish or rehabilitate blighted properties to establish down payment programs for low to middle income home buyers and it helps with at least 25% of the funds to be appropriated to house individuals and families whose incomes do not exceed 50% of the area's median income.

miller: yes. mr. frank: will the gentleman tell us what's the maximum number people should be eligible to buy a house under fannie or freddie mac? mr. miller: i was in the building industry in my early 20's and the most excitement you can see on a person's face was when they bought a home and they were moving into that home and they thought about raising that family. i would love a country that every person in this country has the ability and the opportunity at some point in their life to buy a home. but in some fashion lenders have put people in positions to put them in homes that they could not afford. mr. frank: will the gentleman yield? mr. miller: in just a second i will. mr. miller: in those homes in many cases the people lost those homes to foreclosures. and those people that were well-intentioned, that moved into homes they could not afford because the lender perhaps did not describe exactly or they thought the way the economy is going in three or four years the house will be worth 40% more an

the mud was stopped before it reached miller avenue. officials are calling the slide minor but one family wonders when they can return home. at noon today the ground started to give way. public works officials say the mud sly was caused by oversaturated soil from recent rains. the mud was stopped by condos before hitting the street. this home on ethel avenue was evacuated this afternoon. officials are calling the slide minor but expect the section of road to be closed for a month until repairs can be made. the most impacted home is this one. it had been red-tagged because of the slide and utilities had to be cut off. >> the water thine the house was damaged so we were able to shut the water off. we evacuated the home immediately below the slide, and at the bottom of the slide off miller avenue. so three homes evacuated right now. >> reporter: what did they toll you initially? >> please leave. >> reporter: what did you do? >> i left. >> some geotechnical person, see how stable the hillside was, and asked for us to leave while they did th

it was a good year for miller.r his riveting performance in the exorcist. >> don't listen. >> reporter: miller died in 2001 and so the play's return to broadway is especially meaningful for jason patric who just happens to be the playwright's son. this is where your pop went to school, right some. >> yeah, this is where he went to school. i think there was his church right there. that's where we had the funeral. the last time i was here was ten years ago actually on those steps. >> reporter: we went back with patric for a visit to the town that inspired the play. scranton, pennsylvania. the hard skrubl coal mining community where his father, then known as howie, grew up. >> i haven't been here, you know, i've only been on the outside. but this is the dirt, the clay that he came from. this is where these men were drawn from. >> reporter: tell me what you think when you walk into this gym. >> bobby socks and poodle skirts. this is definitely the floor from the '50s. i mean there's clearly gallons of his sweat somewhe

miller, anything to add? >> just to clarify, south bay side with management authority, that includes san mateo county. i just wanted to make sure that you know they are on the list, and i do think that the scope of services, if it was not clear, it will be clear is that it includes the necessary transfer, transport, and recyclable selection process as part of that, as part of the rfd. commissioner: thank you very much. ms. miller, in terms of process, if this item was to be voted on and approved today, what authority does it give staff in terms of the contract and the rfp? >> one of two actions. i would like, obviously, if you approve of the rfp, that we issue the rfp publicly. we would have it out for approximately two weeks, and then we could authorize me into a proposed contract, subject to ratification at the next meeting, which would be the fourth friday of march. that would allow us to a lease start -- to at least start with a potential contractors the week of the 21st, where you couldn't wait until the

this is spelled out in the for miller retail law, which anticipated the situation where someone would obtain permits without disclosing their formula retail and without neighborhood modification and a conditional use hearing. chase must go to the conditional use process, and the board should require that of them. this warrants revocation of the permits or alternatively a continuance to determine whether the square footage of this property progress conditional use regardless of the determination on the scope of the formula retail law. as mentioned, the cut off in this area is 3999 square feet. if it is larger than that, conditional use is required. the permit itself is attached to the permit holder's 3. -- holder's brief. it discloses a mere 43 square feet below what would trigger signals -- what would trigger conditional use. i would think that alone would warn someone from planning going out to the property and measuring. it is a little too easy to come up with a figure a few square feet under the cut off. we have been unable, despite the appearance of neighbors, to get anyone out to

miss miller? >> this item is before you pursuant to our policy 2.6 which allows you to conduct as you deem appropriate. i developed an rfp similar in format to what we have done in the past. typically, we have done and utility issues, but this is still a public service. the idea would be to do a fairly quick study of other agency's practices. this would be both collections, hauling, and disposal. i gave you a list of greater bay area joint powers authorities that provide this type of service with the idea being that we would pick not everyone on this list, but we would narrow it down to the larger jpa's. and more if possible given our time frame. supervisor campos: i know that i get a little confused about this. >> the original patent only had a few of the providers. we call this the greater bay area. there are quite a few. in our selection of the consultant, we are looking for a consultant that has some experience in dealing with studies of this nature that is an assessment of public services bei

supervisor campos: miss miller? >> we can certainly do that. we can have a report on the status of the negotiations. we have been working on phase ii. it would be renewable portion. supervisor campos: seeing no other questions, why don't we open it up? >> it is a cca bill. out of the pg&e bill. it is a limitation with respect to the energy service provider that can be providing the service. it was just introduced. i don't even have a language for you yet. it is by assemblymean hall. we will get the language to you as soon as possible. this is not a huge surprise to us since we figured with our legislation to do what we want, it is not as supportive of the activities. supervisor campos: is there a specific action you are asking from lafco? >> we don't have support for the bill that the senator is carrying. supervisor campos: thank you. why don't we open it up for public comment? if anyone would like to speak, please come forward. >> i am from the local clean energy alliance. thank you for pointing to the letter that i wrote. it is basically a kn

and then, connect to where my dad is. >> miller is hoping the reason her dad hasn't called is because his power is out and he's gone to an evacuation site. people gathered to watch a japanese news channel. one professor leading a group of students told us he feels helpless watching from here and just wants to go home. >> and there is a bluffs of ocean beach were dotted this morning. police closed ocean beach and-to-prevent anyone from getting hurt. some people ignored the warning. there is an impressive scene in bolinas. locals say one surge continued to rush in. >> there is something pretty impressive. i've never seen this, ever. now we're back to low tide. there is pretty impressive stuff. >> those living nearby saw six surges in the first few hours. in pacifica, schools were closed in parts of the city evacuated. and is live with that for use this is a city that experienced power of nature. too this time they're not taking chances. police asking residents in downtown and around lindamar to leave home, find higher ground and taking no chances, it's happened here before. >> i didn't

miller. mrs. miller: thank you, mr. chairman. i certainly also want to thank chairman mica as well as chairman petri and also ranking member costello for all of their hard work and for putting out a bill i think that will help us move the nation forward and improve the quality of aviation in america. my amendment is designed to help expedite and to improve the process by which f.a.a. works with government agencies to incorporate unmanned aerial vehicles or u.a.v.'s, as they're commonly called, into the national airspace system. currently, mr. chairman, law enforcement agencies across the country from borders -- customs and border protection, from local police departments, etc., are going to embrace the new technology and start embracing u.a.v.'s in the pursuit of enforcing the law and protecting our borders as well. however, the f.a.a. has been very hesitant to give authorization to these u.a.v.'s due to limited airspace and restrictions that they have. and i certainly can appreciate those concerns, but when we're talking about c

erika miller reports. >> reporter: the moment the opening bell rang on wall street, fear gripped the stock market. trader art cashin says the disaster in japan prompted many investors to dump their holdings at any price. >> when you can't sell what you want to sell, you sell whatever you can-- sometimes, your grandmother's necklace. you don't like to sell that, but if that's the only thing that gets you money, you have to do that. >> reporter: the dow's decline was serious, but the drop was far worse in japan. the nikkei lost more than 10%. most european markets also fell. the question for investors is what to do now? is the stock market overreacting to the crisis in japan, or does it pose a major threat to global growth? market strategist alec young says the answer depends on the extent of the damage to japan's nuclear plants. >> unless we are really looking at a repeat of chernobyl, where we had a major nuclear meltdown and radiation spreads throughout tokyo, and it really takes their economy offline for a very long period of time, i think anything short of that has already been pr

erika miller, "nightly business report," new york. >> tom: the bull market turned two years old tonight, but not much celebration today in the market. let's get you updated with tonight's market focus. >> tom: the major stock indices didn't move much today, but what a two years it has been since the recessionary closing low two years ago tonight. since march 9, 2009, only 13 of the 500 components are lower. the best sector has been financials; the weakest, telecom stocks. as for today, we'll roll out the past 90 sessions for oil, concentrating on the move up beginning two weeks ago. and that move has stabilized some, but still over $100 a barrel. investors continued taking refuge in utility stocks. it was the best performing sector today, led by this trio of electric utilities: first energy, exelon and public service-- each tacking on at least 2.5% today. meantime, we keep seeing money come out of material stocks like steel makers and agri-business stocks. this materials exchange traded fund had risen 22% from a year ago through the high last month. it's down 6% from that high, down ano

my name is michael miller. i have been throwing events for about five years. i started organized chaos, which was founded in safety and security for venues. i work with so many teenagers. it is one of those things where they need safety. they need locations where you can do this safely, where you can support it so it does not go more to the underground, which will in the long run penalize and how they are and make it so there are more injuries and were held concerns. i have done harm reduction stuff. i am prior military. i never expected to be where i am now. i have gotten many teenagers out there who called and asked advice on how to do it safely. i really enjoyed it. a lot of strength comes from everyone coming together with a common goal. i appreciate your support. thank you. commissioner zukerman: i would like to call-up benn schell, joseph, kendra, alexander, and robin ma. >> thank you for having us. i am one of those organized teenagers that was mentioned earlier. i ran away from home. i had nowhere to go. i was on the verge of suicide. my parents were a

erika miller reports. >> reporter: instead of eating during her lunch hour, angie moncada likes to go house hunting online. she and her husband have been waiting for spring to get serious about their search. >> we want to move somewhere around the beginning of june. also it seems like things are just picking up generally, and we're hoping that people who have been holding out on putting their homes on the market will be doing so now. >> reporter: it also doesn't hurt that home prices nationwide are still falling. new homes prices are at their lowest level in seven years, with the median home costing just over $200,000. previously owned homes are at their lowest price in nine years, at $156,000. economist yelena shulyatyeva thinks home prices will continue to drop. >> we still expect housing prices to fall, probably another 5%, throughout this year and likely into next year. we have two plus years of shadow inventory, including foreclosures, delinquencies-- and that will continue weighing heavily on housing prices. >> reporter: part of the problem is that an estimated 11 million homeow

erica miller, nightly business report, new york. >> back to japan's nuclear situation now. president obama also said today that the u.s. nuclear plants are safe. he still though has asked the nuclear regulatory commission to review the safety of our domestic plants because of the disaster in japan. meanwhile the tokyo electric power company which operates the crippled japanese reactors hopes to have power restored to them tomorrow. now that could allow engineers to stabilize the situation. even once the full extent of the crisis is known, it will be years, though, before the full bill is tallied. as darren gersh reports, nuclear utilities are not likely to pay it. >> reporter: under japanese law, power companies operating nuclear reactors are responsible for any damage, except in case of a grave natural disaster of an exceptional character. wharton professor howard k urx nreuther expects the massive earthquake and tsunami will be considered a grave natural disaster relieving tokyo electric power the utility and ge the company that built the crippled reactors from liability.

erika miller reports. >> reporter: it's too soon to know the full extent of the damage caused by the earthquake. but it clearly throws a question mark over the japanese economy. i spoke with kenneth cukier a reporter for the "economist" by skype to get his take on the economic impact. >> industrial production will be curtailed because factories in that area will certainly be closed. even if they are open, they might have a problem getting electricity. however, it's not the industrial heartland of the country, so it shouldn't be too dramatic. >> reporter: last year, japan's economy grew in the first three quarters but contracted the fourth. the country has battled deflation for most of the decade. economist sara johnson points out other serious long-term economic problems. >> the aging of the population is a key concern. the extraordinary government debt burden-- about 200% of g.d.p.-- is another major concern. >> reporter: the last major earthquake in japan was in kobe 16 years ago and caused $100- billion in damage. this one is expected to cost less because it was not in a major ind
