just to piggyback, everything we have seen so far has been essentially getting marginally better every time. hopefully we can take care of these. some things that are important are clear policy directives on a variety of different things. number one has been troubling a number of people. it is in the implementation strategy. you need to be responsible for the water that goes into the system. you need to establish to make sure that they are asking you for money and that you actually have a sound basis to find a specific project. other protocols i think you need to implement is something for a hierarchy. i think the best way to think about it is to move from demand to supply. the first thing we need to be looking at is retrofiting existing infrastructure, and at the very end looking at infrastructures so you have a hierarchy of how decisions are made. a couple of other points on impacted communities -- you also have to think about habitats. also environmental qualities and inhabitants. finally, karen did a pretty good job of presenting this, but we are already faced with two different co

they bought the home from world savings and took out a piggyback to reduce the down payment. savings was bought by wachovia which foreclosed on the piggyback mortgage basically the auction prove. but the bargain evaporated when wells fargo which bought wachovia foreclosed on the original mortgage more than half a million dollars. >> i just thought, oh, this is a mistake. and i assumed it would go away. >> reporter: it turns out foreclosure notice do not have to specify a first or second mortgage. it's in the paperwork but not always often. >> two loans were executed, signed and recorded on the same date at the same time and i literally thought it was one loan. >> reporter: the situation has caught the attention of some lawmakers who say banks should not be allowed to sell essentially worthless second mortgages and called it another reason for banking reform. >> we are trying to clarify what the process is. and we are also trying to make sure that financial institutions cannot take advantage of consumers. and this is one that's a blatant example of what's going on. >> they dec

originally, we were going to have "wall street'" come out in april and we were going to piggyback "solitary man." we are getting a really good reaction. whatever other personal adversities i have had to share, and i am talking about my son, i really rewarded that these 2 pictures are coming out. so the little picture, there is no advertising dollars. there is no money to spend for a commercial on television or even for newspaper ads, so you personally have to go out and beat the bushes and try to share with people how enthusiastic you are an excited about this little movie. tavis: when you are out trying to do that and people will not let you forget about your son, how the process that? >> now is a little easier because he has been sentenced. he is off, he has assumed responsibility for what he did. he is sober, so i think he has a much better chance of evaluating it. it was a rough time. this is the bad side of celebritydom in terms of when a bad situation are incident happens, people are always concerned about whether you are getting special treatment or not. the reality is, you get cream

first is to capture again, piggybacking on don't vote -- on doug's point, there should be inherent capacity and inherently did value in the existing sites. we're going to go ahead and both program radically in terms of developing the communities with market rate housing, but also use that as a financing engine and capture the value created through that potential for the units for the public housing replacement units. on top of the property value itself, we also plan to capture -- in terms of property tax revenue, or we would not exist for the city. this is against the future tax revenues, so these in combination created cross subsidizing component. second is focusing city investment, so f8u and certainly supervisor maxwell, as well as the board of supervisors has committed local financing to this over a 20-year period to help facilitate the local peace -- piece of the public housing part. for almost a decade now, we have not been able to capture financing from the federal government, and yet, the problem continues to get worse, so, f.a.q, supervisors, for stepping up and for the city of san

. >> i want to piggyback on her point on kids. kid is a great way to bring families together. it's one of the most excellent way to bring diverse families together because children play with each other. and they go to the same school. the safety network and sunset neighborhood coalition we have worked together to prepare for the sunset community festival. one of the tools that we use is to try to make the event really run, really entertaining and try to make it culturally appropriate for the communality. one of the tools we use to try to make it appropriate is that in all of our fliers and out reach materials we try to translate all of them to the different languages that our community members use. and also we try to build relationships with our local media. i think that is one of the most effective way to let all of our community members know about our events. not only just english but media press with the local chinese narp or whatever language your community may need. thots one of the most effective way to get to community measures that may be more isolate the. and i think

our end, there is a department bulletin that will instruct the officers around the procedures and piggyback off an existing one that had the whole trouble services involved in their, but instead, we put tarc in there, and we are encouraging officers to engage with our youth in a positive way, and intervention way, and a way to recognize that day as the officers are part of the community. basically, they connect with the youth and then make the call to tarc, as you probably heard procedurally, and then with the go ahead, take them to tarc for the intake, the assessment. supervisor dufty: thank you. could i also invite of the chief of juvenile probation? i appreciate that he came to offer his support. >> one more person that we would like to share. is that ok? >> we have claudia anderson represented of the unified school district, and she is going to share a little bit about some of the overlapping existing resources that are really tied in tarc. >> i'm claudia anderson, and i am sort of a new face to this. in the new director of executive support services, but i'm not new to this population

. >> may i piggyback on governor douglas. one of the problem -- one of the things we were able to do, i mentioned the 42nd lowest sales taut we were able to reduce taxes for 85%. we've gone four years without a penny increase for college tuition. we have had to cut our operations budget because of it. >> part of the way you did that was by dipping into your capital funds? right? >> no game plan, no borrowing from the future? >> know. we actually diversified our transportation. we have not dipped into that. we are one of eight still has a aaa bond rating. we did this with tough choices and huge cuts, 54 $6 million. we were the first administration to submit a budget with state spending lower than it was four years ago. >> there are a lot of states that are either barring from pension funds, dipping into rainy day funds, doing things that may help for one year that will not help if the downturn will be as expected as some people think. >> you are correct. in south dakota we have a requirement that we cannot borrow money. we hav

i like to piggyback this on previous callers.ny of the problems at the department of agriculture -- how much of that can really be attributed to the illegal taking of black land, particularly in the south? guest: there is no way to quantify what you are talking about. of course there was never that much land owned by black people. i think the highest figure i have seen has been about 15 million acres. at the present time, it is about 7 million acres. if someone has better figures than that, i am interested. that was the best i could find. the question of black land loss is very complicated, because, as blacks moved to the cities and people moved -- to stop farming, the land often came into the hands of heirs, a large number of them. black farmers could not get the kind of help that white farmers got. therefore, they were under pressure to sell their land. i cannot quantify the issue. host: san diego. caller: does he really believed it is more about the land that was received or imported versus exported? america has put all their

fortunately, the senate last week wisely rejected the house majority's effort to piggyback tens of billions of dollars of additional spending under the package. the senate has sent back to the house the very same clean emergency supplemental it sent two months ago. today the house must do the right thing and approve this funding. we cannot afford to wait another minute. to get this long overdue pack ang to the president. i applaud the senate for rejecting billions of dollars of nonemergency spending placed on the packs of the troops. let's support our men and women in uniform, support disaster assistance for areas of the country in great need, and pass this spending bill. i urge any vote and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from wisconsin. mr. obey: madam speaker, i yield three minutes to the distinguished chair of the appropriations subcommittee, the gentleman from washington. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from washington is recognized. for three minutes. mr. dicks: i rise in st
