mr. rich do you have access to that stanford -- >> it's part of the packet. >> that's coming from you guys, ok, great. i still have to make a comment on the presentation that was made by cpmc where they show a map of the city and the street as a divider. that was fine for illustrating their particular needs. but if you draw the line north south and separate the city east west, there's no hospital on the west side at all. i found that a little -- never mind, i won't go there. >> commissioner illy? commissioner moore? >> i wanted to ask the commissioner if he will look attendser loin and traffic issue -- tenderloin and traffic issues along vaness at pine -- along vaness at broadway. we have very large housing projects for seniors. vaness as it is, it's extremely difficult to cross. you've got to be really running in order to make it across. it's primarily geared towards fast-moving traffic going on highway 1 enroute to san francisco. it's basically the thorough fair -- faer which is not pedestri

supposed to just kick back relax and enjoy the show everyone to broker a job that is rich grant cardone work all right mr reid but for me all of that changed back one day in the early one nine hundred ninety s. i'll never forget it i went to madison square garden the world's most famous arena to watch a basketball game it was during the lead up to the first gulf war in one thousand nine hundred one and at half time i kid you know one of the mascots started to beat up this guy who was wearing this arab costume and the jumbotron was whipping the crowd up into a frenzy getting everybody the chance usa usa usa i mean it was sick i came to watch a game but i got served something else entirely. this was about as explicit a political spectacle as you could imagine to discuss athletes and activism we now welcome dave zirin and i basically made a career out of trying to understand that murky place where sports and politics collide as a writer as a commentator on e.s.p.n. and other major networks and in my sports radio show you know we got a hell of a show this week you know what's up with this is where sports and

merchants association is honoring the family for their contributions to the rich history of fisherman's wharf. as you may recall, mr. simmons was very connected with pier 39 and very much involved in the development of pier 39, and his family currently owns and operates the restaurants, so it is a big loss to see him pass away. we look forward to remembering him. finally, a former port staffer, nick larocca passed away. he was only 64. as you may recall, it was not that long ago that he retired from the port. barely over two years. he has unfortunately move back to new orleans and passed away just a couple of weeks ago. he had been set for quite a while, so he was thankful receiving pretty good care once he passed. briefly, just to remind you, and expense 17 years with the board of san francisco. he managed many of our commercial maritime peers. everything from cruise ships to fishing boats, navy ships, etc. he was previously the port agent and had been a merchant marine and recently located. he was renowned for his love of lsu football, which was as alma mater, we apparently played the trumpet -- i have not heard

a country as rich as ours, that's just not acceptable. >> the honorable minister. >> mr. speaker, this is coming from a party who has consistently voted against any senior's help. and it's shameful. what we have done in our budget yesterday is elevated the poverty line for seniors. there will be 60,000 seniors across the country that will benefit from yesterday's budget commission. >> the honorable member for -- >> mr. speaker, in a letter published by the press, the minister of transfer. engineers stated some sections of the bridge could collapse. the minister continues to claim the bridge is safe and building a new bridge can wait. does the disciplinester of transport realize it is tapering to the different needs of quebec that could protect an election? the honorable minister of -- >> it's important. that's why we've invested almost $10 million over the next years to make sure it stays safe. i am not an engineer. who do we ask? the engineers who inspect the bridge. we ask the government that works with us to make sure the bridge is safe. of course it will have to be re

rich. now returned under rebel control with reports suggesting another key oil town greg was seized on saturday evening mr has become a key focus being the only western town held by the opposition it's been under heavy bombardment for days now are the reports from tripoli where concerns are growing that the coalition is trying to change the conflicts course rather than just protect civilians. now we're hearing though from the libyan government from the deputy foreign minister that the international community far from being neutral is taking sides in this conflict he went so far as to accuse them of siding with the rebels in the sense that there is strikes are actually causing this advancement and these claims have been backed up by the rebels themselves he is also warning that the longer the coalition powers remain involved the longer this operation will be torn out so essentially what he is saying is that the international community argued that it started this operation because it wanted to protect civilian lives for the more time that this operation continues the more civilians are likely to be killed a

that's what h.r. 1 would do, erode that middle class, widen that gulf between the rich and the poor. so, mr. president, i hope that the senate will recognize h.r. 1 for what it is, a detriment, a body blow to our recovery efforts in america, and i hope the senate will resoundingly defeat h.r. 1. mr. president, i yield the floor and note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the presiding officer: the senator from vermont. mr. leahy: mr. president, i suggest the absence of a quorum -- no, mr. president, i ask unanimous consent the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. leahy: mr. president, are we in morning business? the presiding officer: morning business closed at 5:30. we've returned to the measure. mr. leahy: mr. president, then we're back on the american invents act. we brought this about a week ago. this reflects several years of work, and for my colleagues, i understand that we have an excellent chance we will be voting on this in a very, very short while. and i would hope the vote would be as

mr. looker brings a wealth of experience as a protest in the global financial market and as a public policy maker. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome dennis lockhart. [applause] >> rich, thank you very much for that introduction, mostly accurate which is the best you can expect. i think early on monday morning, and i want to thank nabe for the opportunity to address the distinguished group of economists. today i will offer my views on the current state on the economy and the outlook. i will comment on the appropriateness of the current stance of policy, monetary policy for this outlook and the range of plausible scenarios around my base case outlook. and i will end by discussing the policy and a strategic level and offer my thoughts on a policy framework for the near and medium term. i know you are all aware of my need to issue a disclaimer. i am not speaking for the federal research for the federal open market committee. my eighth remarks today reflect my personal thinking and me not be shared by my colleagues on the fomc or the federal reserve system. today is likely the last day you will hear from the fomc policy makers for a few days. the fomc participants genera

mr. speaker, i rise today in support of women, to honor the rich contributions women have made in history, in the history of this world. mrs. ellmers: and i want to take a moment to discuss the strong pro-life movement that my colleagues and i are continuing to fight today. i rise in support and fight on behalf of women and in this month dedicated to women i ask them to choose life for themselves and for their child. the original feminists were indeed against abortion. these women believed that there was power in motherhood and choosing life. alice paul, the author of the original equal rights amendment, said it best, abortion is the exploitation of women. it is this exploitation by groups like planned parenthood that frighten me for the women of our country. it has been proven that women who have had an abortion are six to seven times more likely to commit suicide in the following year than a woman who chooses to deliver her child. we all know of the syndrome, postpartum depression. women who abort were 65% more likely than delivering women to be at risk for long-term clinical depression

mr minister holic of you have mentioned the nationals the migrants there lots the workers the people who were were living and working and living and now they're fully. well the non libyan refugees from rich countries have been helped out by their governments but the people from poor nations like for example bungler there were abandoned what's happening to them now are they able to return to their homeland. i cannot see that all of them have been returned by this issue of it turning over. nationals of asia and sub-saharan african countries has been addressed urgently the flights have been arranged by the office of the high commissioner for refugees and internationalization for migration maybe in the reverse order however some of them are still in the. areas close to the border on the egyptian side intermissions side and i would say that situation may be not as critical as it had been ten fifteen days ago. they are moving out and every effort has been made to help them to move out and charter planes at some point it was a feeling that the commercial planes will be enough after a message from a question that took place however now i understand that internationally dish for migration and off

i'm going to go to the luxury of riches for a moment. mr. blackwood, your library is expaing. i had the honor of being on the airplane that was delivered just before september 11th to the reagan library or the airport and i've now seen it repainted all its glory, all of it basically at no government expense. i think we paid for the fuel to fly it out there. but my understanding is that we saved money because we didn't have to do an annual maintenance if we delivered it to you that day. the reagan library is a wealthy library. there's a tremendous amount of support for foundation donations to the reagan library to continue his legacy. should we be looking from a standpoint of government at spreading that wealth? at looking and saying for the long-term sustainability -- not when there's 13, but when there's 33 libraries to have some sort of a sche to make sure that the dollarsre available from a common foundation or in se oer way a -- a non-direct government appropriation to help make sure these libraries are all maintained at a higher level. and i'm going to you first because y

not going to be a nightmare, or to stop the traffic on the span, as a rich and they feared the action here is just a mistake, it was mrading to the downturn bridge thankfully there are no problems for the cemetery bridge except for the wind advisory there. bay bridge, a look to commute unfortunately it is solidly backed up into the maze still for the westbound ride we showed you that shore freeway ride is jammed there as well. from 24 expect slowing in the delays, long drive times freely but tried -- a bird strike. easing in justice-- the bridge right. the storm is agreement in evidence by the amount of shaking on this camera. >> darya: absolutely, we were talking to jackie 5-10 minutes ago you that it was raining before in a looks like it is pounding heart >> reporter: . it is a steady hard, hard rain. you can see some of that pulling going on, he concedes folks walking through with their aunt alice on. not only is it raining extremely hard but the wind is starting to pick up the temperature feels like it's dropping as this morning goes on. it's not getting warmer it feels like it's getting colder. it has been pretty

mr. president, i would suggest that agriculture is the very foundation of our country's rich heritage. our founders clearly understood and appreciated the importance of agriculture. george washington once said that he knew of no pursuit in which more real and important services can be rendered to any country than by improving its agriculture. and thomas jefferson noted -- quote -- "agriculture's our wisest pursuit because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morales and happiness." national ag week is a good time to reflect on the rich agriculture history of this great nation. it is time to celebrate the exciting scientific advances and the new opportunities. one thing that all of my colleagues should be able to agree on, we owe our nation's farmers and ranchers a sincere thank you. every time we go to the grocery store, we are reminded a little of our disposable income we spend in this great nation because of the good work of our farmers and ranchers. we compare better in our country than just about any country in the world, so we are grateful today for their good w

mr. miller: so when they're giving tax cuts to the richest americans, the rich of the rich, when they're giving away taxpayer money to the insurance industry and the prescription drug industry, the drug industry, they don't worry about deficits at all. it's only when democrats take the presidency and particularly in the last two years. when we have been dealing since the worst recession since the great depression and have been trying to pull the country out of a nosedive that they've become worried about the deficit, and criticize americans, everything that we have done to try to save the country from the disaster that we -- that we inherited. and it is only the programs that help working and middle-class families that seem to give them a problem like this one. now, we have been on the case of subprime lending and its effects for a long time. i introduced legislation in 2004 to rein in subprime lending. not a bit of help from republicans. mr. watt and i introduced that bill. it was miller watt two years -- miller-watt two years later it became miller-watt-frank. the gentleman from alabam

of thousands of seniors below the poverty line and in a country as rich as ours, that is not acceptable. >> the honorable minister. >> mrrom a party who has consistently voted against an ace senior help and it is shameful. what we have done in our budget yesterday is elevated the poverty line for seniors to 680,000 seniors across the country that will benefit from yesterday's budget. >> the honorable member. >> mr. speaker in a letter published by the fafsa the minister of -- have stated some sections of the champlain bridge could collapse. the minister continues to claim that the bridge is safe and building a new bridge can wait. does the minister of transport realize it is his indifference to the needs of quÉbec that could provoke an election? >> the honorable minister of transport. >> the champlain bridge is an extremely important bridge. that is why we have invested almost born at million dollars over the next 10 years to make sure it stays safe. mr. speaker of course i'm not an engineer so the question is who do we ask this? we asked the engineers to inspect the bridge and asked the ceo who oversees the bridge. we

is when the rich get richer, do we give them more tax breaks while the poor get poorer and we cut programs for them? well, i don't think, frankly, that that is what the american people want. mr. president, you may have seen there was a poll just came out, i think it was yesterday or today, it was an nbc news and "wall street journal" poll. and the questions dealt with the deficit and how the american people think we should go forward in dealing with the deficit. and here are some interesting results. when asked what do americans want the federal government to do to reduce the deficit, the largest, highest percentage came down in saying that it is totally acceptable or mostly acceptable to impose a surtax on millionaires to reduce the deficit. 81% of the american people said that, for obvious reasons. the rich are getting richer. given the choice to have people who receive huge tax breaks, already doing very well, ought to pay a little more taxes. the choice is not terribly hard. 74% of the american people believe it is totally acceptable or mostly acceptable to eliminate tax credits for the oil and gas industry. 68% of the american public believe it is totally acceptable or

mr. speaker, a little over a week ago the executive branch launched military force against yet another middle eastern country, this time it is oil rich libya. u.s. naval and air forces attacked libyan military installations across that country, wiping out air defenses, intelligence systems, tanks, and also apparently is now targeting that nation's ground forces. under what policy is the executive branch operating without a vote of congress and expending millions of defense dollars and state dollars on offensive action taken inside a nation that did nothing provocative toward the united states and in fact last year was even a recipient of u.s. foreign aid? the president's justification for this action was that it was not an act of war but rather humanitarian mission to prevent a catastrophe that would have result interested libya's military forces under the command of libyan president gaddafi from taking the civilian center. our president says he did not act alone. as french, british, canadian, and other western nato members participated in these attacks. the president informed congress that future operations will be handled by nato.

mr. akin: good for you. in may of 2003 we cut two taxes, not popular, it was capital gains, dividends and death tax. i don't know if you're a rich guy if you're dead. but anyway, we're going to tax death, we tax everything else, so why not that? we cut capital gains dividends and death taxes at this time, right here. i've got three charts and it shows what happened. this is job creation before and after the tax relief. this is some of the taxes we extended into this year. this is the lines that go down are job loss by months and the lines that go up are job gains. so what you have right here, that's the tax relief that goes into effect and take a look at the more lines coming up over here. that's really pretty substantial and pretty interesting, whereas these you're losing he -- so this tax appears to have had a good effect. let's check it not on just job creation -- mr. walberg: the tax cuts. it gave incentive. mr. akin: the tax cuts go into effect here, this line, this is the g.d.p., and it's actually losing -- or gaining. here's 1.1%. after the tax cuts it jumps to 3.5% and this is a lot stronger economy. the economy seems to

mr. speaker, the pirates are back. these are not the black beered, eye patched, hook for a hand, peg legged pirates from the hollywood movies. the modern day pirates are skilled, rich, violent, armed with automatic weapons, and driven by a business that is generating up to $7 billion a year. my constituents from texas, bill and his wife, have navigated the oceans for years and recently they and another group of international navigators and sailors decided that somalia and the smalian pirates had made the seas too dangerous to sail in that region, forcing them to transport their ships and boats by barges to safer ports. bill said we cannot allow a one of thugs to take away a portion of the world. that is what these pirates are trying to do. they have taken control of parts of the ocean and trying to mock the most powerful nations on earth, including ours. days before the ill-fated american ship, quest, left for their journey, bill asked scott to join them in transporting their boats. adam, the skipper, said of the quest, the quest was circumventing the goal and it was a lifelong quest and they continued on their trip although it turned out to be doomed in the indian
