certainly any expansion of the rear buildings those are required in the rear yard would require a new variance and also with expansion of the new buildings. if there are specific concerns to the front building and if you didn't want the front building expanded any further perhaps you would add some conditions, i can't think of it right now, but you would want the condition that would prevent from further expansion. >> could you require with another variance? >> from the fact that the variance is granted from the same lot we would look at the front building as well and make a determination if a new variance is required. >> correct. i think that's appropriate given the justification for if you are allowing them to build in the rear yard because because we are not taking that much. we are not allowing, no increase in one side of the front building which i think is important. just on the garage, i think ord is a lot more difficult to park than state given the curb and how it works and they are very much different neighborhoods. it's hard to get from one to the other. i would say look at the park. ther

in new doctrine as the kremlin's response to western sanctions and political statements on the situations in ukraine and while calling it defensive in nature, the new doctrine identifies nato expansion and western military activities on russia's doorstep as areas of deep concern. in previous doctrines, the focus had been the situation unfolding in central asia, but analysts tell me that the kremlin is essentially signaling that russia's response 0 to nato and europe will be an area of primary concern in its long-term planning which will include the military buildup along russia's western border. now, nato issued a response saying that nato poses no threat to russia. and its activities are purely defensive. it also said that nato will continue to seek a constructive relationship with russia. but that russia is breaching international law in ukraine and undermining european security. another round of peace talks apriled at ending the crisis in eastern ukraine was called off today. that according to media reports. pro-russian rebels as well as members of the ukrainian government met in the minsk on wednesday. now, reason for that cancellation was not given. erin mclaughlin, cnn. >> and

and expansions of parks, creation of new parks, land transfers. the principles that we followed is it's revenue neutral. some of these bills raise money, some of these bills spend money, and so it is revenue neutral. the taxpayer is going to get i think some extraordinary value in the package that is being presented today. in addition one of the principles that i pushed very strongly is to make sure that this package included opportunities for the development of our natural resources. we are very proud of our wilderness areas, we're very proud of our parks, we're very proud of our areas that are sort of off-limits to economic development, but there are parts of the federal landscape, public lands that should be developed, whether it's forest or oil and gas or hardrock mining, for the benefit of the taxpayer and for our overall economy. that was a very important principle for me and, of course, for congressman hastings. we also wanted to make sure that we expanded our national parks. again, this has been a six-year hiatus, almost three congresses we

instead we felt that one driver has been the increase in new benefits and the expansion of benefits bythe congress. tri- care for life is one of those. it is medicare wraparound coverage for those retirees who are eligible for medicare that is over age 65 , and it has been a popular program. 2.1 million people have enrolled. essentially reduces the essentially reduces the out-of-pocket cost for military retirees and their families almost to zero. basically medicare pays. medicare part b pays an tri-care try picks up the remainder. that has been in driver. a second driver is the financial incentive to use tri- care so that the out-of-pocket costs are for active-duty members, their families and for military retirees, significantly below what other options are , to the private insurance market or employment -based insurance. and these financial incentives, military retirees can purchase care and tri-care tri- care prime which is the health maintenance organization type plan, and they can purchase that with an enrollment fee of about $550 per year for the family. but as they use the system

instead we felt that one driver has been the increase in new benefits and expansion of benefits by the congress since 2000. tricare for life is one of those it is, wraparound, medicare wraparound coverage for those retirees eligible for medicare that is over the age of 65 and it has been a popular program of as of 2014, 2.1 million people have enrolled in tricare for life. this program essentially reduces the out-of-pocket costs for military retirees and their families almost to zero. there are some small cost but basically medicare pays and then medicare part b pays and tricare picks up remainder of those costs, most of them. so that has been a driver and other expansions of benefits as well. a second driver we felt is the financial incentives to use tricare. so that the out-of-pocket costs are for active duty members for their families and also for military retirees is significantly below what other options are for civilians, either you there the private insurance market or through employment based insurance. these financial incentives, for example, a military retiree can purchase ca

and trying new business plans. we have sort of seen this all along throughout the space industry. people trying to make a profit. but recently there definitely has been an expansion and part of this, of course is that we don't have a shuttle program anymore. so all eyes tend to be on non-nasa stuff even though nasa everything. >> yes, we are still very busy. the things we are doing may not before. and now that we have gotten to the point where low earth orbit operations have been become slightly more of a routine. it is realistic for us to think of the private sector taking more responsible on that area. >> was that always the plan? we really didn't think about that in the '70s and '80s, that it is not a government function. what changed? >> you know, i think people always dreamed about economic activity in low-earth orbit and even beyond from the beginning of space age, but it only became more realistic i think recently when the cost of access has come down. then you can start to see business plans start to close. innovation starts to emerge. entrepreneurs enter the scene. so it was a confluence of events. it has gotten to be more realistic for the commercial se

people are on the move, leaving their homelands, pushed and pulled by the expansion of global capitalism, labor demands, famines, violence, and new transportation and medication technology. while the u.s. did not receive the majority of international migrants, the country did receive more migrants than any other single country or colonial territory during this.
