i don't know the answer to that offhand, but i'd be happy to get that information back to the board.great. >> members of the public wish to address on the director's report? good afternoon, stuart. >>> thank you, mr. chairman, board. mark gruberg, taxicab workers. regarding the cpuc rule making proceeding, i really feel that the agency missed the boat by not cracking down on these totally illegal services before the cpuc got into the picture. and now the the cpuc has given its interim blessing to lift and also to [speaker not understood] not so far to side cars, as far as i'm aware. to continue their operations, while the rule making is pending. * but this is a serious situation , not only from the point of view of the industry, but from the point of view of the public. the insurance industry has weighed in in the cpuc rule making and stated unequivocally that there is no insurance when a side car or a lift driver picks up. the private insurance that they may have on their personal vehicle does not cover this situation. and although lift claims to have a $1 million excess liability p

did you know offhand if this venue is in violation of anything, i mean, anything with regard to the planning department? >> i do not know of a violation of from the planning department. we got in writing and i don't know if it is in your package, but i have a memo from the planning department. that was dated the fourth of february. stating recommendation of approval in the rc four, limited live performance and accessories must be conducted in doors and must not exceed 200 square feet and must conclude by 10 p.m. there is nothing else in this memo from planning and indicating violations. >> did we also have a complain from this venue when they didn't have a one-time event permit? that they had a brass band? >> i have had numerous complaints and i don't have the specifics for you, but, again, i think that officer methias indicated noise complaints and we have had them and i have not had any recently, directly to me, and i have vaj have you gotten any recently? >> but, we have had a pattern of noise complaints over the time at 620 jones. >> okay. >> commissioners? >> discussion? >> i know that

i'm not offhand aware of a case where there's been a criminal charge. not in my memory. >> not mine either. okay. and then with the firearm discharge review board, you included a list of the composition of that board. and i wanted to ask if there's any changes in that composition. i remember a couple months ago we did talk with the chief, some of us, about including someone from training and potentially from tactics. i wondered if that is in here. >> this reflects the current structure. so, there haven't been any changes. this varies a little bit from the general order because it reflects the change in the department command structure so the general order is a little kind of off, it's a little behind the times a little bit in that regard specifically. but as far as anyone else that we'd like to add, this reflects the current structure. >> i do believe someone from the academy has been at the last couple fdrbs. >> yes. and also, the range master is part of the academy in training. >> right. >> but the way you listed it, this is based off of what the dgo

they said that comments were only offhand remarks. critics say that's not a good enough answer. >> the law enforcement, they're not the judge, they're not the jury. they're not supposed to be the executioner and if you have those three things you have somebody probably called a police state. >> a facebook page dedicated to dorner drew more than 15,000 likes and many supporters see him as a victim of police corruption when he was on the force. >>> if the president has his way, illegal immigrants could have a clear path to citizenship within eight years. "usa today" is reporting that the white house wants to move forward on an immigration plan even as members of congress draft their own immigration bills. according to the leaked white house draft, immigrants would have to pass a criminal back ground check, submit identifying information and pay fees for a new visa. they could then apply for a work visa within eight years if they learn english, u.s. history and pay back taxes. the work visa would clear the way for citizenship. the newspa

. >> yeah, i don't have the exact number offhand, but i'm happy to check with katie, our chief financial officer to give you the exact amount. i know that -- i believe it's about -- i'm not exactly sure. >> okay, thank you. supervisor avalos? >> thank you. >> thank you. thank you. actually, i really appreciate your -- the questions you have about community capacity to be able to get together and apply for opportunity grants. it's something that my community faces a lot, the communities in district 11 face a lot. one thing i've done is we've actually put resources into the neighborhood for people actually to come together and do neighborhood planning. and actually we have a grant making program separate from the park grant program where residents come together and they identify projects that could use funding. capital projects, safety projects, beautification projects. that actually pulls people together to be stewards of the neighborhood and plan. i think the opportunity grant provides that opportunity for groups to come together and do that. and, so, we're looking at district 11 at doin

have you heard make fun of government employees or diminish many some way -- in some way or make offhanded comments about washington is the bane of our existence, nothing good happens in washington. only the good, smart people are in nebraska or california or ohio. [laughter] you say that for political advantage occasionally, but unfortunately, that has permeated a society of young people who have been conditioned in many ways. and i think of what we are going to need and what joseph nye first wrote about from harvard in 1990. and he was, joseph nye was before our foreign relations committee along with richard armitage, and they were co-chair of a commission sponsored by csis called soft power. soft power is a term that joseph nye first invented in 1990 and wrote a book about it. and all it is about is how great nations and societies use all their instruments of power, not just military. military isn't going to solve the problem. petraeus, before our committee in september, said that the answer to iraq, the answer to afghanistan is not going to be found at the end of a gun. there is no mil

>> you know, i don't know that offhand. they are all very competitive. that john hancock fund is one of our favorites in the space. liz: took a big dive in december. anything to worry about there? >> i don't think so. i think people were concerned about the fiscal cliff and what was going to happen there, so i think that was just a temporary market dip, but i don't think that investors have anything to worry about there. liz: i want your ow veers -- i want our viewers to know you have earmarked nine funds. we have put them up on our facebook.com/liz claman so you can see these tax advantage dividend funds so you know you won't be taxed away with all the profits of what you have been making. thank you for educating us in the fundamental of funds. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. liz: cara is a morningstar analyst talking to us live on president's day. president's day, you know that means time to go shopping. retailers across the country are slashing prices offering all kinds of deals to draw you inside the stores to spend. but hold on to your

i do not know the number offhand.we think the number would be smaller than a little bit than what we thought at the time. the budget window, the 10 years we provide projections for, has moved out into 2023. >> switching subjects for a minute, does the cbo look at unfunded obligations like the actuarial obligations of social security, medicare, medicaid? >> yes. in our long-term budget outlook, we include the cost of those programs and we include comments on the social security trust fund and the medicare hospital insurance trust fund. >> do you say, that is what the net unfunded obligation is for social security today? >> yes. >> do you have the numbers off the top of your head? >> i don't. but it is substantial. >> tens of trillions of dollars between social security and medicare, correct? >> think that is right. time hasntleman's expired. the gentleman from new york. >> think you, mr. chairman. he were asked whether this is a robust or weaker recovery -- you were asked whether this is a robust or weaker recovery. yo

conservative members of the media, the population, they don't believe when the president makes an offhande likes to skeet shoot at camp david, they want to see the birth certificate. unfortunately, this surreal thing happened where jay carney has to tweet the photo, and there are already conspiracy theories how that's not him, not his jeans, not how he holds it, it's the wrong side and it shows there is a very low level of trust with certain people and our president. >> would you have released it if you were in the white house, doug? >> yeah. i don't see why not. just shows what he was talking about. i agree with what's going on here, this sort of lack of trust and conspiratorial theories, i would have done it too. >>> sit tight. up next, the big three's must reads. hey, it's sara. i'm going pro. i've been using crest pro-health for a week. my dentist said it was gonna help transform my mouth. [ male announcer ] go pro. for a clean that's up to four times better, try these crest pro-health products together. [ sara ] i've been using crest pro-health. so far...it feels different. [ male an

but sometimes he says it in sort of an offhand way. sure we want to do that.hat is something on our to-do list. but his critics would say, you know, he is not serious about it at all when you look at his moves with regard to entitlement programs certainly. bill: look what he is threatening if we do go through with this miniscule cut. if we just cut 2% from the overall spending budget. by the way, most of the impact of that will come next year and some of it will come overseas. the president says you do that you lose 750,000 jobs, kids don't get vaccinated, airport traffic delays, the to forecast severe weather will be impaired, border security will be impaired. it is a long, long list of armageddon if we cut a tiny fraction of the overall budget. will we get serious attacking $37,000 worth of extra debt per second? the answer is no. martha: mitch mcconnell said he would be for giving the white house discretion how the cuts are made if he doesn't like the way they are cut and they could make a move. they don't seem to be interested on that option at least right

i think that you can't have offhand much reason for expectation of anything different.i have taken the position that i have taken particularly on reparations, because in my view it is our due. that doesn't mean that i expect that they will materialize even in my lifetime and not in the near-term future. but it is renovated when you know that it is our due. the question is, what do we have to do within ourselves to repair ourselves psychically and emotionally? i think that we have to learn as much as we can about our story. we have to read vigorously everything that we can put our hands-on. we have to make sure that our children get the best education we can win for them and that they have the right values. we have to do the best we can with what we have and we have to continue to say that doesn't come close to what we are owed for what we have been made to endure for a long, long, long period of time. we all inherit our starting place in life. for those of us who come from the families of wealth and those of us who come from families that are impoverished, and i'm not j

in fact, i'm sorry we didn't mention -- he did mention offhand, but march 1993, when my peers on face the nation with congressman charles schumer and made the point that we believe very strongly those people need to be included in the system background checks. ian charles schumer shook hands and said i can help you do that. that was 1993. as gebbie giffords has been mentioned yesterday in arizona alone a hundred of dozen people so adjudicated have not been included on the system. in 23 states they have it then. one of the witnesses yesterday was the police chief for baltimore county and advocate of background checks mentioned earlier in the week as governor have said they're not favor of putting the mentally ill in the system. there's a whole but sometimes for financial reasons, sometimes because by senator frank had case against that because you don't stigmatize mentally ill. we know anybody mentally ill or that has mental problems are likely to commit a crime then you and i are. are people not in the great area and those are people adjudicated to be severely mentally ill. the system

pratt, do you know offhand how many of the guns we're looking at our american made, imported, and more? guest: since i do not have my eye on them, it is hard to say, but americans have the benefit of a free market. they can buy guns made here, made from abroad. assembled here but parts made from abroad. we have got quite an opportunity to get exactly what we're looking for here. host: this tweet from somebody who goes by the innate -- name oversight the gop -- guest: [laughs] well, i think you look at the history of the second amendment, you find that the founders were thinking pretty much of the marina slocan today, "every man a rifle." -- the founders were thinking of the marine slogan today. they wanted every man to own a rifle and have it ready for duty if called up. but if that person was in the militia and belonged to an artillery unit, he was not required to bring artillery with him, but he still had to bring his rifle. the handguns, long guns, but nothing else but that would be considered military hardware. host: greg is in arlington, tennessee on our republican line. caller: t

i've got to tell you offhand, this is a dear, dear friend, cardinal dolan here in new york city is beingr to pope benedict. according to joe lewis of ewtn, this is really the first time that an american has been seriously considered. he's become the superstar of american catholicism and he's kind of rocked the world and so people are looking hard at cardinal dolan as a potential successor. he made jokes about it and poopooed it, but that's his man of the people style. but people will be looking at him at the conclave in a very serious way. >> steve: you know what? i was on-line yesterday and i looked at the odds makers, they're already trying to figure out where the next pope is going to come from. the united states way down the list because they say, you know, the united states, too much power already. we don't need to have a pope from the usa. >> the catholic church is looking at someone that understands a multi cultural society, digital technology. someone who is a people's pope. that's what we need. >> steve: that's dolan! >> benedict is known for his incisesive mind and tender heart

in fact, i'm sorry that we -- he did mention offhand, but in march of 1983, some time ago, wayne lapierre was on face the nation with charles schumer and wayne made the point that we made strongly those people need to be included in the system background checks. you charles schumer shook hands and said i can help you do that. that was 1993. as gabby giffords's has been yesterday mentioned, a thousand people so adjudicated have not been included on the system. one of the witnesses there yesterday was that please shoot of baltimore county who is an advocate of universal background checks. he didn't tensioned earlier in the week as governor said they are not in favor of putting the mentally ill into the system. .. would not have been able to buy the firearm he had been adjudicated. we think that and have been urging it for a long time. we think it ought to be done. we think the system needs additional funding and to be straight end out. it's operated efficiently and cleaned up. to take the system and throw millions of people in to it, as it exists today would be a serious error. >> we're goi

i don't know if any of my colleagues know that offhand. if not beal have -- we'll have to get back to you separately. >> i have two questions. the first is for a colleague, it's really inside baseball. in your june, 2012, report you had debt to g.d.p. at 200% by 2037. and my colleague wants to know, based on this current report it sounds like you've pushed that back three years to 2040. >> i don't think you can draw that conclusion. your colleague is referring to our long-term budget outlook from last june which looks out 25 years and somewhat beyond that. we have not updated those long-term projections yet. we will aim to do that later again this year. so we don't know how the change in the projections for the first decade will affect the path of debt beyond that. >> how do you factor in things like the fracking revolution or do you not factor in circumstances like that? >> we are -- we do try to factor that sort of effect in. we actually have a separate analysis under way on the effects of fracking on the economy. and our preliminary ins
