i'll be available to answer specific questions >> thank you, mr. tom finally from the rent board ms. would have any comments you'd like to make. >> i'm here to answer any questions but i have inform responsive comments. >> thank you with that unless there's any questions i want to thank the organizations this was a long process and certainly i don't think anyone got everything they wanted but appreciate this legislation tried to build the sxhoens thank you to the law caucus and channel and representing property owners and the participation from small property owners and realtors and the housing advocates including spur and the action coalition and thank the departments that have participated with the earthquake safety program and the city attorney's office and thank amy chang who put in most of the work and trying to find a common ground. colleagues unless any initial questions to public comment >> thank you president chiu. >> i'm willing to wait i want to insure with the folks who represent their departments will continue to be here. with that we'll m

golden for his leadership and mr. tom as well and i want to thank the staff for the diligent stewart ship of the public dollar and we thank the taxpayers of san francisco to entrusting us and we thank the staff for making sure that that trust is well placed. >> thank you, superintendent. >> if i may, could i just say one more thing? >> i wanted to thank the committee and actually i wanted to add and i thought that she was going to make a presentation, and i would wait until after that. i wanted to sort of ask you how you think that the committee is going. i know that this is a very not only time consuming volunteer position, but also, it requires developing expertise, in the area and entirely new area, and i appreciate that so much. i know that a lot of people have served on the committee and the advisory committee for the bonds over the years and it is a lot to do, actually my husband was a member for several years. so if you would tell us how you think that the committee process is working. >> for me... we are continuou

this was released which was directed by mr tom hooper and it was very successful so we thought that we might just write that i hadn't done that engage the audience by producing this show movement and in terms of the music that you pay only the meal was a rock and what were some of the deal reactions from students rather than in years kitty angel into a militant get songs that you pick what i know that they simply were not familiar with it. um i mean is the musical was on was first debuted in nineteen eighty six it was a really long time ago and not that much stood up not that many students were very familiar with the musical but i thought he was the music is right. but what they saw the movie they watched the movie and actually had the time i think the music with analogies themselves are getting a taxi so i think students get attached to the music once they start practicing. it's okay and i like it said that there really is part of a wimp. you have been beating teaching high school marching band to international competition almost every year since two thousand with no two thousand and

. >> and joining me right now on the floor of the new york stock exchange for a cnbc exclusive is mr. tomose are really good actors or were they really surprised? >> they were amateurs out there getting a golf lesson and i just show up in a ball cart. who is this guy, get out of the way. it was a lot of fun. >> i love that. you've had a partnership with mastercard for an awfully long time. >> since 1996. i've done several commercials for them and the new campaign out with the priceless part of it with the surprise campaign is just starting off this week at the bay hill invitational at arnold palmer's joint. >> yeah, arnold palmer's place down in orlando. unfortunately tiger will not be there just pulling out because of his bad back. has the game of golf moved on beyond just banking on tiger showing up at an event? >> i think it has. from the standpoint of, you know, there have been more people being successful although tiger won five times last year, didn't win a major and people said he had the lousy year. well, he had the best year of anybody last year. >> who are the guys you like watc

mr. al turkey has denied any involvement in tom clemens' murder, his lawyer has called any speculation toageous, and rightly so. mr. al turkey is only circumstantially linked to these murders. but that's all. it's only circumstantial and it could very well be a co ins denls of timing, but where did that hit list come from? and if there are more than 20 people, more than 20 bubble officials on that hit list, some of whom had no conceivable connection to the killer, who put those names on the hit list for him. and if evan ebel assassinated a high ranking official and was killed in the midst of killing 20 others? why is it the only person prosecuted in this case is the young woman who was the apparent patsy in this case, who made the purchase for him to get his gun. no one is guilty until they are proven to be guilty. in this case, it's approaching the level of inconceivable, that no one is guilty except evan ebel. as of tonight it's been one year, and the angle from tom clemens' widow is palpable and very, very understandable. >> i'm angry that it's a year later and we don't know any more a

. >> tom you mentioned the idea you thought mr. putin might be improvising, that he doesn't have a grand plan. this is a country that's known for playing chess. >> he's got a broad idea how it should play out over the long term but he's clearly looking at events, what he plans and the next movement. times he pushes beyond what he thought he was. i was in moscow three weeks ago before mr. yanukovych fled. they were think of two plans. plan a was to build a pro russian collation around yanukovych. but that turned out not to be possible then plan b was possible. this is the transeastern, you create a frozen conflict in ukraine and use that as leverage over the central government in kiev. >> what were the scenario, help again those of you who aren't experts. why is ukraine, why is crimea so important? is this strategic, is it psychological, is it economic, is it political? what is this really about? what's driving this? >> it's about all of those things. it's about the way not only mr. putin, much of the russian elite thinks about russ

mr. edibtin. only tomormerly was assocherd closely with this organization, and i think, ed, you're as l.illiant asker and i really momprecherte your comments you. mentioned ukraine. in the new issue of freedom in the new issue of freedom hous k addresses, of the former nonbaltic soviet republics, ukraine is a little bit ahead of all do sishill. so you have two countries potentially on the right road to democratic practices. can putin tolerate thavo in the next 12, 18 months, will we see a near broad exercise of power that will do everything possible to eli whearyte those growths of democracy? >> well, tom, it's -- i would like to thingdon- thinic that russhern has enoe. problems at home not to bother about what is happening outside. and i f twl sorry for medvedev r edibtin or whoever is going to take over. the economy has some very . inflatio sa dme kfi fuust y of spending money without it being being stolen. infrastructure, public services, all these things would tax a gcternment, let alone one that wants

. >> i want to thank my friend and colleague from the great state of south carolina, mr. tom rice, whose legal research and expertise and accrue men and leadership is one of the reasons we're here today. mr. gowdy: also i'm curious about this notion of prosecutorial discretion. i'm curious even though i was a prosecutor for 16 years, i guess i'm curious, mr. speaker, as to whether there are any limitations on this thing they call prosecutorial discretion. can the president refuse to enforce discrimination laws under that same theory of prosecutorial discretion? can the president refuse to enforce election laws under that same theory of cost due -- prosecutorial discretion, mr. speaker? how about term limits? do we have to have an election in november? if he's well intentioned, as long as his heart is in the right place, if you can su spend other categories of laws, why not? if prosecutorial discretion is as broad as our colleagues on the other side of the aisle want us to believe it is, are there any limits, mr. speaker, to this thing they call prosecutorial discretion? there

tom? >> caller: hello, mr. cramer. good evening! boo-yah! >> wow. bayou boo-yah back at you.t's going on? >> caller: my question for you is, sun power. where do you see the value of the stock within six months to a year? >> not clear, but i will tell you, at least it's profitable. it's not as speculative as some of the others in this area. it is a good company, i do prefer first solar, which is actually inexpensive for next year's earnings. let's go to john in pennsylvania. john? >> caller: mr. bull market, boo-yah. >> boo-yah and back to you. >> caller: boston scientific, a good time to get in? >> it's one of my favorite stocks. was up very, very big last year. it's moved up another 10% this year. they do have the right product. i like edward life science and st. jude. this is an area i like very much and boston scientific is certainly back among the majors. carl in washington. carl?! >> caller: yeah, jim. a long boo-yah from long view, washington. love your program. good reporting from the gulf yesterday. >> thank you! we had a great time there. thank you to everybody in lo

mr. chairman. we'll talk to former national security advisor tom donilon when we come back. change engineering in dubai, aluminum production in south africa, and the aerospace industry in the u.s.? at t. rowe price, we understand the connections of a complex, global economy. it's just one reason over 75% of our mutual funds beat their 10-year lipper average. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. request a prospectus or summary prospectus with investment information, risks, fees and expenses to read and consider carefully before investing. >> schieffer: we're joined now by president obama's former national security advisor tom donilon. thank you so much for coming. you heard this thing that we know so little about, the russian ministry saying that they have greed to settle this through constitutional reform in ukraine. secretary kerry and foreign minister lavrov. >> i'd be very cautious at this point. it's been on the table far awhile including during the course of the prime minister of ukraine's visit this week. on the table, offer to discuss the situation. offer to discuss

mr. lions? >> thank you. >> i am going to start calling a few of the names too. tom deso, mark gruberg and rula brafis charles rat bone, ethan deble. os, ron, walter, and barry toronto and mr. lions, the microphone is on. >> okay, great, thank you. >> first of all, i want to say thank you to supervisor mar for calling this hearing. and i also wanted to thank supervisor campos for some very what i would see as very poinant questions and so i want to say that i am a proud resident of district one in the richmond district and i became an uber user probably two years ago, for you know, no other reason than the fact that it is a multihour affair frequently to call a cab on the west side of san francisco. and so, but sense then, going back to some of the questions of lack of evidence, of discrimination, i am here to tell you that i am living proof that discrimination exists and you know, i want to tell you a quick story and i don't want to take all day and i know that there are a lot of folks here with their own stories but a couple of weeks ago i was on the way to a job i

mrs. obama and tom vilsack worked on the marketing they can send to our public schools. >> we can all agreesrooms should be healthy places where kids are not bombarded with ads for junk food. this is part of a broader effort to inspire companies to rethink how they market food to kids in general. >>> the proposed rules work on what they can advertise. it follows up on something you can remember, a big food movement in 2012. she added healthier options to subsidized food. the obesity rate among children between the ages of 2 and 5 years old has dropped by 43% in the past decade. that is the first time since america's obesity epidemic in the '80s that those kinds of percentages have gone down for any age group. many factors are in play. "the new york times" says the drop may come from a combination of local, state and obama care administration policies in reducing obesity. some more research for you that shows today's obese kids are five times as likely to become tomorrow's obese adults. the progress of children is key because today's obese adults are not doing so well. take a look at this ga

six months of the time to be informed by mr quinn himself about the extent of the contest and the time leary said that the bank's former chief executive david tom did come to see him an awesome to pass and seven. he said he understood about time that mr thumb was aware of his defense position that by the city chose not to tell and he was a very milky is fascinating and it didn't take any notes of the meeting i sat in january two thousand and eight sean quinn came in to see him. we didn't ask and directs the ashes at the santa visit us in that time. he said it wasn't appropriate for financing baking a cake to be tapping a private citizen about his own investment portfolio. he didn't ask something either at his sydney seat of fabric two thousand and eight weeks the cream too but the dragons retreat is on screen insurance. mary also told the court that he didn't know if i had to head to suntec to meet as often as not of this at the queen issue. the cftc and kind of irish times. id also denied that distancing himself from the pool master the problem had either side in tonight's who hasn't and eight. examination is due to continue on tuesday afterno

mr. pop culture. >> i am clueless, tom is pretty good. >> i love ellie goulding's new album. of hedge funds with troy gayeski of skybridge capital. important if you are saying maybe i ought to go into a hedge fund. skybridge capital allocated out to make the right investment for their clients in the hedge fund space. undercurrent here of letting smaller investors into the hedge fund world. that sounds like the dumbest idea. is it? >> why should a large institution have access to some of the smartest managers, one would argue, to make a lot of money. someone who can invest $25,000 cannot access that. the idea with regulation is to protect people from making mistakes. hedge funds tend to be lower volatility and lower risk. of theget to the size portfolio and size of the fund, it is too much for six guys in a room? if you bring in retail you have a lot of billion-dollar hedge funds. if you areot have -- $20 billion, it is harder to make money than $10 billion. no doubt that size will hurt. you are not talking about penetration rates in retail that are 10% or 15%. it is a tiny sl

tom may be watching right now on c-span, we hope. [laughter] -- mr. starkg onie? i would say most encouraging thing is that tom has brought the commission -- has brought to the commission a very refreshing attitude and approach. he has brought a really stellar team in there with him, people that we all know and respect and i have worked in this industry for long time and understand the issues. you've got a really high-quality team that he's brought in their that reach out, listen, and they act. of getting the job, the chairman took up the ip transition petition that we have filed over a year earlier and it had just been sitting there and acted upon. and bob acted on it and did it the first subsequent meeting they had. that is really encouraging to see at the agency. it's a really refreshing approach. i'm sure, by the end of the year i will find some things that trouble me. but so far at least in the month he's been there, i have not seen anything yet. >> james, do you want to comment? >> i would just echo what jim said, personnel. he has adopted some of the best a

tom hanks. he was not nominated for "saving mr banks", for "captain phillips." that is a best picture and robert redford overlooked for his film about a silent sailing journey. >> i'm going to go offscript. where are you standing and who are the people next to you, looks like they are shouldering into your shot. is it that crowded on the red carpet. look at that. >> pan over, this is cathy lee and al standing next to me. i have no space. i'm backed up against cathy lee. >> we are all one. we are all stupid. >> they give us about 10 inches for all of n.b.c., including al jazeera, which is an affiliate of us, obviously. so we are crammed in. you can squeeze to the right. kt l.a. and the other stations. you can see how many athletes are competing for space. i have about 6 inches of space. a good thing i didn't have lunch. >> i have to say, it says a lot. i didn't realise it was that crowded on the red carpet. what else have you seen? talk about the fashion and the stars you have seen pass by. >> well, right now the red carpet doesn't have the heavy hitters like san

tom ammiano calls a witty insult. and he uses a flip phone, a flip phone, mr. mayor. need i say more? so, please, use your considerable clout to help supervisor avalos get a job lined up for after he he leaves his office so that we can make use of his limited skills ~. but i have to say that we have to recognize his very affable temperament. one idea that someone suggested was that maybe he could be a greeter at twitter. i don't know if twitter has greeters, but that's an option. [laughter] >> and the last thing that i would say, mr. mayor, is that we, john avalos' friends will make sure he is prepared for his job interview. so, we're beginning today by giving him this manual that he can study. and i know that he will be studious in his efforts. [laughter] (applause) >> well, thank you, supervisor campos. that's quite a question. but i seem to have heard somewhere through the grapevine that you are in fact an attorney, supervisor campos. so, i know -- [laughter] >> i know i cannot get anyone a job, whether promised or implied. [laughter] >> plus, i'd like to use whatever clout you thi

tom stressed the need for a quick recap. the government also consider using mr defined at the top of the distance the last people next week many of the report will be brought up for discussion maybe more like um probably come up with china's rapid development. will mr pulled my contention that look to the government to make any changes on the issue. okay that's all the time for him to take a picture to the press wants to eat mac cover the lid off the living in china. until then you can do anywhere. my nephew and the pvc. i've gone through puppeteer i have. do. i didn't too hard and found to cause emotional that you are just scored a goal for two thousand and two chairs so cute and soft and appeal of a district court sooner do you say he can put on clean her off. moving north into the mold and all. even opened them on the yoke of a bill for momentum and get this kit at home working on not get around hey i'm sitting here going from a vehicle to teach him the most pleasing. back on the block when you gave birth to more though this be due to decreased trying to avoi

tavis: speaking of tom petty, you were just a 17-year-old kid, there is a great story of what mr.do to convince your father to let you hang out with him. do you want to tell the story? >> i quit college and neglected to tell my dad. [laughter] man, greata good man. he was a judge. he was not mean-spirited in the lease, but he was like, be honest. that i finally found out hadn't gone back to school, i was just working, he busted me on it. he said, if you are not going to school, then you don't stay at the house when you aren't in school. go find your own place to stay. tom talked to him, convinced him that we had a shot, that it was worth my doing. also, probably out of great fear that if i didn't stay at my parents house i would crash on his couch. tavis: how long did your dad lived after that? >> my father only passed away about 10 years ago. if even. tavis: he saw a whole lot of this. -- you sayoncerned you're going to go to california from florida and the asexual -- and be a successful musician. it is a long shot. i understand his concern. tavis: how did he come around? years l

former obama national security advisor tom donilon is back with us for more on this breaking story that's developing this morning in ukraine. mr. donilon, what can we do here? >> i think we can do quite a bit. we must, important leadership moment. i reacted in agreement with your commentary, bob, which we just heard. this is an important leadership moment for the united states and for the west. this is a challenge to the post cold war order in europe. an order that we had a lot to do with in putting in place. respect for son tee. this is really important moment and we have to act, i think we can act first to support the ukraine government politically and embrace it which you saw the president do this week. second to support ukraine government especially now in the short term here with financial aid to assure that it can stand up under russian pressure which will come. third, reinforce our fay toe allies and vice president biden going to lithuania and poland to do that. very importantly to really indicate what the costs are going to be to russia for this kind of conduct. for putin's conduct. that could be substantial. you can s

mr. chairman, i want that clarified. >> hearing no further requests for recognition the question occurs on a bipartisan amendment, all those in favor say aye. all those opposed say no. the eyes have it. the tom block amendment is agreed to. does mr. william keating have an amendment on the desk? >> the clerk will report the amendment. >> 499 offered by mr. keating of massachusetts on page 5 between the eighth and ninth results clauss insert the following new paragraph. >> the amendment is considered read. the chair recognizes mr. king from massachusetts to explain the amendment. >> nato secretary general rasmussen announced nato was suspending most of the alliance with russia and was reviewing the entire range of nato/russia cooperation. the baltic states, poland and other allies in central europe have called on nato members in the e.u. to impose an arms embargo. the uk is reviewing arms exports to russia. however, other nato members have said an arms embargo would be premature. the key reason of course is concern about possible revenue losses. this amendment calls one european allies to suspend export of military equipment that could be used to support russian aggression in the region. this

mr. wives and their pastel mini-dresses with these skyrocketing beehives. i turn to tom my husband and i just said wow, look at these wives. this is incredible. i never thought about this whole other side of the space program so the emotional side of the space race and wouldn't this be a fantastic book? it just sort of took off from there and minutes later i was on google looking up where these women were today. were they alive as most still were and i found out incredibly that they had this club, this sort of sorority that continues to me to this day. they go on cruises and continue to support each other through triumph and tragedy. one of the sweet things about the connection of the wives is many of them when i met them worked little gold bracelet with a tiny golden whistle on it and that is one other symbols. it's whistle and we will be there for you. of course it's really a matter of winning over these women's trust. they were always very protective of nasa, of their husbands even if they were divorced after their husbands came back because of the startling amount of

tom cruise over this girl. >> do you realize nobody really cares about mr. west unless you are in the hip hop community?. >> even your audience knows. >> they know who he is primarily because the taylor swift thing. >> i'm really happy for you. i'm going to let you finish but beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. >> you know when he he went in and embarrassed that young woman. >> kanye west airline. >> you think so? >> on deck, mcguirk and i have our pinheads of the week. that's next. captain obvious: i'm in a hotel. and a hotel is the perfect place to talk to you about hotels. all-you-can-eat is a hotel policy that allows you to eat all that you can. the hotel gym is short for gymnasium. the hotel pool is usually filled with water. and the best dot com for booking hotels, is hotels.com. it's on the internet, but you probably knew that. or maybe not, i don't really know you. bellman: welcome back, captain obvious. captain obvious: yes i am. all those words are spelled correctly. yeah? then how'd i get this... [ voice of dennis ] ...safe driving bonus check? every six months without an accident

tom bliley was the new chairman, jack fields of texas was the new subcommittee chairman. i think mr. markey was ranking member on the subcommittee, many dingell was the ranking member on the full committee. and then, you know, we were trying to be leading edge at that time. but if you go back to 1996, there really wasn't an internet. cell phones were these bag phones that were very expensive, very few people had. it was in a totally different environment. and now i have two, i have a congressional blackberry and a campaign iphone plus a wireless beeper i use up here. i've got high definition television sets. you name it, my 8-year-old son has a laptop computer and a tablet. a whole different ball game. and the way we use what we now call the internet, the way we use wireless communications, they all need to be brought up to speed, and if we can get any bipartisanship at all in the next congress, i think you'll see us do that. >> host: what kind of time frame are you looking? >> guest: i'm chairman emeritus, this is the chairman -- fred upton, greg walden, i'm a spear carrier. but i

and tom, the author of soar, the break through treatment for fear of flying. mr. rose, your assessment of today's developments? >> unfortunately i think it still leaves us in pretty much the same place we were yesterday. and that is, even assuming that you have located parts of the plane, that's not a positive fact if anything. ultimately what we to want know is what caused the crash, where's the plane, what caused the crash? it'd be great if it turned out to be part of the plane. first and foremost for the families, some kind of closure. as you pointed out, this is a terrible, horrific and anguishing eventually. it will eliminate that the hijacking that it's in a secret location or used again. and help us get to the bottom of what happened. but the part itself, i don't think, assuming it is part of the aircraft, will help us understand whether it was deliberate or mechanical. >> captain, let's assume that this is the aircraft. it would lead me to believe that the pilots were incapacitated. that this aircraft would fly so long, or it would be a highly unusual suic

. >> tom, don't think what you're thinking. that's mr.she's rather fit. >> not fit. >> here to talk about the new film "don hemingway." jude law. good to see you. >> nice to see you. >> we are used to seeing you perhaps in more glamorous roles to a degree but i know that the rough side of this character is actually what compelled you to take the role. >> yeah, there's a sort of vitality to him and an animalistic sort of lustful life passion i loved and i kind of fell for this character. he's larger than life, violent but poetic and so the look was -- i don't know, getting the look right was sort of making sure he was believable that he'd seen some days. >> he had lived some life. and to get the look, you're an exercise enthusiast. to get the look you decided to get that look you had to go for it so what did you do? >> you know, richard shepherd, the writer and director talked about don's lifestyle, 1 years in prison and the excess and what he enjoys and so we -- just had a summer, you know, saying yes to everything. >> you had a prostheti
