>> mr. duffy. i think that it is appropriate that we review the procedures upon which further review by your department with respect to either the agenda that is submitted and issued, following the approval of the site permit. specifically, in respect to whether the roof deck was originally granted or not granted. the addition of a corridor wall, additional lights, i presume that you can could then discuss what types of reviews the department still has to do. >> you are right about that commissioner, i actually have that written down here. addendum need to be reviewed. and it has not reached there but the drawings have not been submitted for that, we have only approved the site permit. we should be looking at all of the exiting issues and i am sure that if he is going anywhere soon, he is going to keep us on our toes on that and so we are expecting that, i already had that discussion with him this morning, prior to the hearing, he brought up something there, but a second means of egress from a thir

perhaps this question is better for mr. duffy but in terms of the 3r report how does that information change? >> i will let -- >> okay. >> -- discuss that. >> commissioners i will answer your questions commissioner fung. on the three hour report and i think i know why there is three family dwelling and reroofing permit and the 3r report. personally i think this should have been unknown on this one because there is a dispute with 87 permit and two family dwelling and 98 permit for addition of existing door with it and says on that three family dwelling but there is no record in the brief of the permit which tells me in 87 the last permit that we give said two legal dwelling units. if that permit come in 98 it would have to say going from two units to three units to change the unit count. if someone filled out an application then and we should have flagged that because that's not right in 87 the last permit was for two units and we have one that says three. now i don't have it in front of me but i betd it says existing three units

as you may recall mr. duffy discussed the results of this at the hearing and the board had the question to question him. again, this site inspection is not new evidence because of it occurred before the hearing and was discussed at the hearing. >> as you heard from apell ent's counsel permits were accepted yesterday to correct the discreptcies. and i understand that these applications are under consideration by the planning department. again, these are applications made in response to complaints, not in response to the site permit or to this appeal. appellant's final argument is a reiteration of an argument made by the board on october 17th. they contend that the house of the non-conforming section, section 181 deals with non-conforming uses it is a residential use in a res dental district. appellant offered no information that was unavailable at the time of the hearing to support this argument. >> in closing, it is abundantly clear that they have not offered a shred of information that was discussed at the hear

now my colleague to be mr. duffy members in congress will have tough choices in the next 30 days. it will take a lot of political courage, but i know there are many good men and women in congress, thoughtful, who want to solve this problem. but it's not easy. the american people elected us to make those tough decisions. >> i understand. could you, if medicare, if the price of a balanced approach includes some big changes to medicare, at least on the eligibility age, could you support something like that reluctantly? nobody says you have to like it. but can you support something you don't like in a case like this in. >> not when it comes to protecting our seniors. there are other issues to look at. let me just throw out one idea. we were talking about giving and keeping the tax cuts for middle class people who make $250,000 or less. my idea is let's make it $500,000 or less. so let's come up with some new ideas. let's have that kind of dialogue. >> let me get you, congressman duffy, just to respond to that. on this ta

duffy were both at his bedside in his final hours. is that right? >> reporter: that's right. that's from our understanding of what happened yesterday afternoon when mr. hagman passed. patrick duffy was there as well as linda gray who remembered hagman as her best friend of 35 years and said quote, he brought joy to everybody he knew. >> manuel bojorquez, thanks. >>> black friday the annual start to the holiday shopping season kicked off yesterday and by all indications it was a strong start but there are also was another major black friday event a nationwide protest against walmart by some of its employees and their supporters. we go to a k-mart here in new york. >> reporter: good morning. we're at a k-mart which was one of those stores to open on thanksgiving day itself and was rewarded for it by quite a bit of foot traffic in its stores and a boost in sales. nationwide walmart as you mentioned saw protests at its stores. it was workers who were walking out of the job to protest unfair labor practices. walmart tells us it wasn't just employees in some cases it was members of outside labor groups who are trying to get employees to unionize. walmart

duffy where he stated that a c.m.e. auditor also participated in a phone call with senior m.f. global employees where one employee indicated that mr course i knew of loans being made from customer segregated accounts that were going on before october thirtieth so there have been reports that a criminal case against corazon has gone cold we haven't seen a civil case from the c.f.d. see my question is why not. well the criminal case obviously i can't speak to because that's the department of justice and the f.b.i. i'll leave that to them with regard to our investigation remember global continues i'm hopeful that something sort of like sober will be done soon although i can't say that it's that it's imminent but it is a horrible goal and or a real sort of kick in the pants to confidence in futures markets and i hope that anybody no matter who they are or heigho how high a level they were at m.f. global is punished to the full extent i mean if they do the crime they shouldn't just pay a fine they should do the time yeah i couldn't agree more as far as the impact that this has on confidence i just want to play a sound bite from a veter
