mr. hughes: as a liaison from the committee to this bond, i met with mr. thomas and his staff on april 16 of this year. and without belaboring this too much, i'll just run through some of the things that we touched on at that time. on road repaving and street safety bond -- first of all i want to preface it with you have either reached the goals that were set out at the time of the ballot measure or exceeded on those complete. and those that are pending, are pending completion are very close to the original anticipated goals that were met. so on road repaving the street savings bond, you were at 95% of the goals had been reached as of that time. and it is currently projected that you will meet or exceed the original goals set out at the time of passage. so, thank you. and to your staff. outstanding. on the pci, the metropolitan transportation commission's revised pci scores, there was a change in the way that was determined. and that resulted in a new score. and we understand that the old score was 69. the revised score for the city is a 75. and if i under

mr. hughes: the public expenditure dollars that are shown, that's outside of rad, correct? >> yes, that is outside of rad. >> ms. chu: mr. carlson? >> mr. carlson: one, on the summary report, it's quite watered down from last report. and did not include the fact that these are the 2015 affordable housing bonds. and as of what date? i would appreciate on future reports go back, so it's a little more. >> sorry about that. >> mr. carlson: and i really appreciate the detailed report. there is a lot of great information in that. on page 27 of that report, the total number of affordable units that are projected to be created is a 1388. and in the last report it was 1785. so somewhere along the line we lost about 400 units. it looks like about 250 are in the low-income housing that may be from switching from laguna honda to the other two. but the middle income housing that dropped by 170 units and i didn't see discussion of that. maybe you could comment on that. >> there was a loss of units projected in the low-income housing unit because of the reallocation of funds. also because

mr. hughes, please proceed. >> umm, so, yslais creek is held up due to a puc facility and the 3rd street bridge, and i understand that. >> yes. >> and so 1.5 million is going to go to herron head park. when yslais creek is no longer held up by the puc or whatever facility it is, does the 1.5 milli 1.5 million magically reappear? what happens to yslais creek park. >> >> we're hoping we can fund that with 2019 bonds, and we're hoping we've done further due diligence on the feasibility of the project as well. >> any other questions? >> thank you. i have one other question about park facilities for children who have handicaps or disabilities, there are some places around the country that do excellent work where kids have an opportunity to play and enjoy a park, whether they're -- have visual problems, vision problems or whether they're mobility problems. what is going on in san francisco in that regard? >> thank you for -- for that question. all of our projects do have to be evaluated by an ada coordinator to ensure that we are meeting the current codes and standards for accessibility, so al

eventually, he said, mrs hughes, let me explain this to you simply. me explain this to you simply. mehink i have got it, but for me, it is not the point. for me, it is not the point. she has not been called for over six years. thisjust reminded her yesterday. than is being published, to be honest. thank you. what are you going to do next? going to do next? having not had a mammogram around the time she should. the time she should. what are you going to do next? going to do next? to be honest, i'm not sure what to do. not sure what to do. i need to talk to my family and see how they feel. to my family and see how they feel. i feel the whole process was really badly organised... badly organised... was yes, she's probably one of those women, and that was it. women, and that was it. the phone went dead. what is that? what can you do? i mean, my mum's dead. here but i need to talk to my family. of course. it wasn't picked up earlier, clearly. is outrageous and disgusting. disgusting. someone needs to resign, to be honest. to be honest. someone needs to take responsibility very high up. res

mr. master hughes and found that it was pretty highly leveraged by not just one deed of trust but maybe two or three michael mast row it seems as been living a lie thought to be fabulously rich is hopelessly broke. gilman also discovers master was picking favorites paying some creditors but not others. we thought that was unfair and we wanted to be treated equally with the other creditors villains client first sound bank and two additional creditors file a chapter seven. involuntary bankruptcy petition to force bankruptcy on someone who is unwilling or unable to pay back debts. his reaction was that he was going to oppose us and fight to the bitter end in august two thousand and nine the state of washington approved the chapter seven involuntary bankruptcy of michael mast row he will be forced to sell all of his assets the estimated worth of his belongings his two hundred forty nine million dollars but that won't cover half the masters total debt is more than five hundred seventy million dollars for many many years a lot of people made a lot of money there. it was like better than a bank bu

on the market but it's more than the price that makes this new hand revolutionary the how mr potter hand hughes's myoelectric technology has a simpler mechanical design than other my electric bill statics senses in the home to react to electrical signals from the brain to the muscles to activate the motors italian retiree marco zambelli has been the hardest handle out somebody to complete tasks that would be unthinkable with most press that x. . driving for example is no problem but there are other day to day challenges like using a knife when i used to eat with others and they were all using knives i just did without but now i've started using them and i'm quite good at it. the hand was developed by the italian institute of technology and the state workers compensation prosthetic center that has just one mo to operate solar fingers so it weighs only about as much as a human hand the developers say the simplicity also kept the cost relatively light around five million euros over three and a half years they say the low development cost means they can bring hummus to the market for around thirty pe

mr. montoya come up or a representative of hugh come up and talk about what you'd like to present today. >> hello, commission. bennett montoya. only conditions that we're really asking are conditions of the live entertainment to go to 2:00 a.m. it's taken a hit focused more on our corporate and private events during the week and on the weekends and on sunday mainly because we are not able to book those events because we're not allowed to have live entertainment, as well. as far as the improvements or updates, as far as the continuing -- our continuing process to improve sound improvements for our neighbors, been in constant contact with our neighbors on roland alley. we communicate and update them as soon as we have an update. we did find that a sound leakage that was not brought to our attention before. it's basically a door that goes to the roof of our building, and it was never really brought to our attention because about two years ago, the roof was replaced by the landlord. and in order to get in to, i guess, put in roofing material underneath the door to the roof, which is a good f

hughes' most recently served as c.e.o. of the american red cross of eastern pennsylvania which serves over six million pennsylvanians. mr. speaker, i'd like to extend my gratitude to judge hughes for her service and congratulate her on this well-deserved award. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from the virgin islands seek recognition? ms. plaskett: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. plaskett: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to acknowledge the outstanding achievements of mst elizabeth may thomas delagarde. she was born to reverend earnest thomas and an twonette miller thomas. she married henne. that union brought four children, nine grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. she has a bachelors degree from howard university. as a contributor to the quality of life in st. thomas, she served in numerous boards, including the association of secondary school principals, american association of retired persons, delta sigma theta

guns and the need for strong government oversight when it passed the hughes amendment to the firearm owners protection act. today, mr. russell, for whom i have a great deal of respect, is proposing a change to this law, adding exceptions to the machine gun ban, which could have serious implications for these dangerous instruments. now, we are all too painfully aware of the all too frequent mass shootings that have taken place on american soil recently, and in particular, the situation in las vegas, when an individual using a bump stock turned a semiautomatic weapon into basically a fully automatic machine gun. we can't allow the chances of these weapons falling out of the right hands. unfortunately, we don't know the true scope of the ramifications for these significant changes to the underlying statute, as there have been no hearings, no briefings, no opportunities to consider the consequences. moreover, this committee would never have had the opportunity to hear such testimony. after all, this amendment does not fall under our jurisdiction. the machine gun law clearly resides under the purview of the judiciary com

plan checkers endd up calling them so they don't know, like mr o'riordan said, they don't know the past issue with the project. but director tom hugh is pushing this program and this will transform into the plan eight. into the plan checkers going to look at the past information and records, that when they enter the project into the system, it lists all the projects, who the plan checkers are, what projects are at issue in what the scope of work is so that when we are on the counter and checking the projects we can identify what these projects are and to approved them. with it starting september 4th, that will alleviate all these serial permits for form eight. >> thank you. you know, we are all big supporters of getting it up and running. [laughter] >> a director has some comments. >> yeah, i want to comment on the director of the department of buildings inspection. one you mentioned on this project, on this form eight, is it is far from the model, you know, that is what they applied for. that is where, you know, we issued over-the-counter. the other permit, you know, the one they submit in 2014 is a form three. it goes through, yo

hugh hutd, thattia misha, and howard feynman. and they are all msnbc political analysts. welcome all. happy friday. mr. bash, welcome.o yesterday, i want to put up a david corn tweet because he put together a number of allegations the president has thrown out which have gotten us and investigators all a'tissy. first it was unmasking is the real scandal. no. obama bug trump. that's the real scandal. no. fisa warrant. no. uranium one. no. fbi informant in the trump campaign is a real scandal? no. jeremy, what's going on in your view. >> distraction bingo. we have got deep state. we have witch-hunt. we have wires tapped. we have unmasking and now we have the word spygate. the president is really just trying to -- i don't know if the it's distract from those other headlines you referenced or just the underlying issue which is that his campaign, his inner circle is being investigated very prflbly, very expeditiously very aggressively by bob mueller. >> i want to bring up the donald trump jr. thing. this was a across coops letter today. hugh hewitt, chris coons is not alleging he lied to congress but he put out a transcrip

hugh fearnley whittingstall, to the health committee inquiry into childhood obesity. the two food campaigners were delighted, though, about the impact of the sugar tax on soft drinks, introduced last month. mring for the tax three years ago. the sugar and drinks tax is only enacted for one week and this has happened. what we have seen even in our first week is two out of three soft drinks companies reduce and reformulate. having lived in a world of voluntary reduction, and the responsibility deal, which at—large, largely did not work. it should have been the accountability deal. i think the tax acted as such, and you saw turbo—charged reformulation. do you agree here? i would not have done that if i did not agree withjamie. he is absolutely right. the sugar tax has been important because it has broken the taboo of mandatory legislation with consequences and i think that is making a huge difference. i think it has been really important as an education piece. the simple fact that it is everybody has talked about it, everybody has thought about it, everybody has looked at it, has brought home the staggering amount of sugar that was in our drinks and that frankly still is in our drinks, in a lo

hugh hewitt from the radio network and nbc news white house correspondent hallie jackson and david brook, columnist at "the new york times," mr going to start with you. mueller one year in what is reminded today in "the new york times," wow, there is a lot we don't know. that's true. i've been a bear on this all along and my scandal meter is ten. i've moved to three to four mostly when you ask was there collusion with the trump damp camp, i don't think there was the trump campaign and there are disorganized people to have actual collusion. what i think is happening and the roger stone phrase that i heard most clearly was the phrase extraneous claims, and if you have a white house prosecutor they might cross that. that is more likely where this will all end up. >> hallie? >> the president is, based on my reporting, no surprise, furious about this. he's upset with what's come out with adam schiff about the "new york times" story, a story he either read or was told about. there is inside the west wing, even those who acknowledge that the president doesn't have his facts right all of the time when he tweets about this stuff and p

mr gassama has even been offered a job. the paris fire brigade tweeted: mamoudou shares the values of the paris fire brigade. we are ready to welcome him. here's hughi'm afraid, bathed in the glow of media attention. on the networks here, he's been followed around by cameramen, camera people, motorbikes and interviews after interviews. it'll die down. but, you know, what's come out of it is that there's been an extraordinary act of bravery. and, as a result, this man, who was one of the many who came across in that very arduous journey from libya on the boats, to italy, and came, not technically illegally to france, but, certainly, in an irregular situation, he will see his life changed, dramatically. he will now get french citizenship and a job. the bbc‘s west africa correspondent alex duval smith has written this article on the malian travelling tradition. mr gassama is part of the soninke ethnic group. for soninkes, travelling has for centuries been an obligatory rite of passage to manhood. the reaction to this story is interesting. take a look at this: the story has warmed hearts perhaps in part because it's briefly changed the narrative about

reacted angrily to an interview given by mr pence in which he said north korea could end up like libya if it doesn't make a deal with washington. now sport with hughk stoneman bowled by mohammed abbasi. just the fourth odour of the day —— fourth over of the day. joe root has moved himself up a place in the order and is currently 22 forewarned. the first morning for england. some of the ball fans have started the journey to kiev for the champions league final against real madrid. coaches were boarded near anfield at seven o'clock this morning for what will be an exhausting germany. they will go through belgium and germany before arriving sometime on saturday morning, a trip of around 48 hours. the team believes to kiev later today, a little later than the fans, and adam alanna says liverpool head to the final as a team moulded in their manager's image. they are hoping to play after an injury plagued season and said if they win against real madrid, it will be what jurgen klopp dissolves salt —— deserves. what he has had on this group of lads this season and especially in the champions league, it builds the atmosphere up in anfield and the atmosphere

mr. lighthizer but i would look for more back and forth, tennis patch, ping-pong, if you will, to use the cliche through the whole relationship with the trump presidency. >> so all in all, hughhe u.s.'s position given this it's interesting that you said, you know, north korea doesn't have any skills in summitry but you can also say that, you know, them saying, oh, you know, we're not going to stand for a libya-like model of denuclearization, that, you know, that was sort of a very trumpian move as well, so all in all, do we gain the upper hand >> i think we're a lot better off than we were six months ago. for one thing, there are three americans home who were in hostageland. secondly, we've learned a lot about kim jong-un just by observing how he has dealt with this, how he is continuing to dole wi deal with this our intelligence agencies captained by gina haspel are watching closely to glean what they can so i think we're much better off. i would direct everyone to the conversation i had this morning with lindsey graham. there is a stark possibility on the table and senator graham is very blunt about this. donald trump has told him he is going to resolve the north korean nu
