they provide home delivered meal service city-wide and they provide two meals a day to clients, seniors as well as we contract with them for adults with disability. they provide meals in hot or chilled or frozen, depending on the assessment of the client, see what they can handle, what kind of equipment they have. so with this increase they will be able to serve a lot more seniors, reduce the waiting list, increase the service time to be able to serve the seniors who need emergency meals more quickly, and they actually are, they also provide modified diets to seniors who need -- diabetic or low sodium or mechanical cost. it is a very large operation, that's why you see the huge additional amount for the contract increase but they are also providing a lot of services for us at a very competitive cost just because they are able to deliver two meals per person per day the cost actually drops per person per meal. are there any questions? >> commissioner l00. >> how is the nutrition counseling done? >> the nutrition counseling is done either in person or over the phone, depending on the situ

in the past all our home-delivered meal providers that serve adults with disability only provide one meal a date and that's been really difficult for many of these clients because they are so low income and in need of food. so, with this, we are able to actually make it more cost efficient, provide two meals a day to these clients. those clients that maybe don't necessarily eat two meals a day they can be served by the otsd home delivery meal provider that serves this population. so this gives us greater flexibility to meet the needs in the community. are there any questions? >> commissioner. >> is it 7 days. >> 7 days a week. >> so before this addition they were 5 days. >> they were still 7 days a week. >> but it was only one meal and now it's two meals. >> which meal is the most costly? lunch? >> when they negotiate that with the caterer and all that they take the whole package into consideration. the meal actually is very diverse. it has, you know, different types of food, ethnickally and also depending on the client if they are able to reheat food because they have a microwaive a

as providers and consumers. the commission attempts to downplay this but make no mistake that this is not some make leave modernized life that are tailored to reserve investments protecting consumers all of the title ii applies to the back door at section 201 and 202 of the act and section 706. all of it has a virtuous cycle not actual harm to consumers. in someway this evolution is not surprising. it expresses a number of proceedings like transition, over-the-top video, symmetry, that this is attempting to bring over-the-top and other services within the reach. now the commission goes all in and subjects the foundation of the internet. furthermore, the other providers will be gone as well. i cannot support this monumental and unlawful graphic. this is a logical of a few open ended questions in this argument is not at all persuasive. interested parties would have to divine the agency's unspoken thoughts because the final rule was surprisingly different. distant, excuse me, from the proposed rule. it effectively

>> guest: by keeping tuition low and providing support services to them when they come we provide opportunities for tutoring and remediation if necessary and support services to ensure their success throughout their attendance at our university. we also provide grants and scholarships for high-performing students and as recently as this past fall for students that choose to come that did not quite have a merit based scholarships that are on financial aid to take out loans what we are doing now is trying to work with them if they graduate in four years and have loans what we are doing is providing a strong award to students so we are encouraging them to take on higher education as a goal and when they complete we will leave them with an award to give some money in their pocket to transition from school to work and also help them pay down the slums that they receive. >> host: how much money? >> guest: will this past fall at graduation we distributed over nearly $250,000 in awards to students that graduate within four years. >> host: kalpen is next in jacksonville florida. calvin did you go to flo

has been the largest provider of humanitarian assistance in response to the crisis providing much-needed aid to syria, iraq, jordan, and other countries that have been impacted by the crisis. we spent nearly $3 billion at the start of the conflict, and the president's budget is seeking 1.6 billion to address a humanitarian needs in syria and iraq. while some of this goes directly to the neighboring countries and to the ngos, the vast majority of our funding for syria went towards multilateral initiatives. i worry some of the assistance might get diverted to isil or other terrorist groups or the assad regime. while i understand there are some real and dangerous obstacles in place to reaching a maximum amount of people americans are concerned over where the $5 billion are going especially if most of it could be going through third and fourth parties as evidence shows it is. there have been reports some of the humanitarian assistance is going through middlemen when the implementing partners cannot get access to the locations they are trying to reach. or recently, food rations have been hand

their position is we provide jobs therefore we shouldn't have to provide health care. but i agree with president obama, health care is a right not a privilege. >> didn't this company provide health care before obama came in but it became so expensive that many people cut back hours of employees so they didn't have to provide the new kind of coverage? >> having just listened to the president talking so movingly about veterans it feels tough to put on the partisan boxing gloves here, because i feel like what he said because very powerful, and i think we all agree on that which is a nice thing to acknowledge. on this issue on health care, though, i think you're right and

that provide various levels of care including shelters group homes therapeutic providers, residential treatment centers, staff secure providers which are kind of a medium security facility transitional foster care, and long-term foster care. a very small number of children are placed in secure facilities if they have committed dangerous crimes or pose a danger to themselves or others. the vast majority of children, however, are housed in our shelter facilities. all permanent orr care providers are state licensed facilities that are licensed to provide residential services to minors. this means all oorr care provider facilities are overseen by state licensing facilities and orr. state licensing cover anything from reporting sexual abuse to providing nutritious meals and snacks, the number of square feet the children have in their rooms, to the services they're provided, and much more. when a child is referred to orr from dhs, orr has intake specialists that must make a placement determination for each child within the network that is the least restrictive setting and one that is in the

it provides care in a family setting and psychiatric care providing linkage and case management for follow up services and behavioral stabilization to avoid psyche emergency services. this is a 23-hour facility and most of our psychiatric hospitals for children and youth are out of county we have one facility in san francisco that's saint marys but that only takes children 12 and older we have no facilities for children in the city for children 12 and under so they have to go to contra costa county john muir that's the closest one. so you can imagine how difficult that is for families. including traumatized children families trying to keep their children safe and we have so far served approximately 200 individuals. >> why we're asking for the facility to become a 5151 designated facility is because and children are often sent to psyche emergency services or to hospital emergency rooms you can imagine how difficult this is for children and their families to be sitting there while already in a crisis situation and often not equipped to deal with crisis where that is a great facility it's rea

provides that help. and we have the operations center back here at headquarters that provides all of the support that responds to your questions about what is going on and to our leaders in the administration. so it provides that ops center for that. and so we have a dart for iraq, a dart for syria that has people both in jordan and in turkey. we have a dart for south sudan. and then the huge dart for ebola. >> thank you for that explanation and for that work. you point out in your testimony, mr. staal that we have improved water and sanitation for 1.3 million syrians in all 14 governance. and you are right that it is important for survival. how important is the oral therapy salts since diarrhea disease is one of the leading killers of children. >> thank you. i don't have the exact details. if you like i can track those down. >> yes. >> but it is a part of whatever we do in our health on our wash programs where we are working. there are still areas we can't reach. but it is important that our humanitaria

>> we are going to see that they had an objection to pot in turn provide this coverage and then provide either the third-party administrative organizations or their amount of information that the government needs in order to meet our compelling interests in stepping in to fill in the gaps that are created when the plaintiffs opt out of providing this coverage area. >> so being asked merely to raise her hand is not a substantial burden? >> it would be the equivalent of the plaintiff and, saying, i don't want to work on the munitions line, but a not going to tell anybody that i don't want to work on the line. i'm merely going to work this way. this is how accommodations opt out works is that the plaintiffs have to identify themselves and that is what they have been apt -- asked to do. >> is substantial burden the end of the line or is it can it understand that it is outweighed by the importance of the government interest? >> that is certainly correct even if, even if the burden was substantial, which we have argued that it is not on the dc circuit, many other circuits have found this, but

and provide that coverage. as d.c. circuit recently explained, government's independent actions and mandated in coverage. >> counsel, can i ask a question about the exemption, which already exists for religious institutions? i just want to know how it's working. how do those employees get contraceptive coverage if they actually want it? >> the employers of -- or the employees of religious employers, as that term is defined in the regulations, are not currently receiving coverage under these regulations. however, in this case, the plaintiffs who are effectively exempt their employees would receive coverage. >> so if -- if they're exempt, if the institution is exempt, their employees don't get coverage at all? >> under the religious employer exemption that exists. and that's based on the special solis tud for churches it cross-references the provision in the internal revenue code that defines houses of worship and enter greated ancillaries. >> can you speak directly into the microphone. >> you don't get coverage.

otherwise would not be served, as well as to provide an education and so we can provide an education for those who would not have an opportunity. it is critical today. we have to do it in a responsible way, and we cannot simply do it because of the legacy of what has existed. we have to do it in a manner in which we can thrive between business and continue to provide postgraduate training, residency programs, etc. it is certainly a sentiment that he expressed that resonates with me and my ministership. host: anthony in washington dc, you are next. caller: dr. frederick, good morning. i'm a former graduate of howard undergrad and the law school. i was born and raised in the howard university neighborhood columbia heights. a couple of questions very quickly. i wanted to know, as you mentioned, howard university's real estate assets. i wanted to know if there was a plan in liquidating or if you were looking to create a revenue stream based on the assets. in some ways, could they benefit current and former students in terms of developing homeownership or even property ownership. the seco

providing that? >> i think very clearly the united states has to work with the european allies and it has to be a european presence in my opinion. ukraine remains in a no-man's land. the president has asked for a secession that when you say that all of the awful memories of world war ii of the european presence inside of russia come to mind so it has to be done very progressively and it is in russia's interest to have a stable russia and ukraine. as i said it has to reach north-south west and east. she should have relations with russia but she is her own republic and her own nation. you can see how the people behave and the more open nature of ukraine. she has a right to be her own nation but to have a stable republic adjacent to russia is in russia's interest. >> so what what you do with a sigh a source code of weapons? >> it has to be negotiated to make those decisions. i get emails please. send us a kevlar vest or socks or brutes or guns that work or the ability to prevent tanks from coming into o

the services provided to the membership are provided by the paid staff by volunteers and the members themselves. another sort of unique feature about the village model is that no oneset location is required. there's no one community center where it's housed so what that might mean for the next village program is in the past year they have had an education event on the peter and paul church on washington square and then a social event on the they will high neighborhood center. the next village does focus on the northeast section of san francisco, so it's loosely defined as van nes to the east and broadway to the south with the bay as north and eastern boundaries. the amount for funding is $100,000 for the rest of the fiscal year. this is a third year of funding for the program and the same amount as the previous year. >>thank you very much. any comments or questions from the commission? >>the note that this is new not the third year. >>i guess the distinction is this is not a continuation. their funding has ended and this is an application for new funding for them. >>for an existing p

mat would represent the voice of a provider who advocates for school aged children and youth. he has attended several cpac meets, including our general membership meeting yesterday and back in november really just a couple weeks after we met i invited him to a supplemental 4 hour meeting held by cpac where community members gave their feedback on implementation, assessment to implement 2012 city wide plan on public education and out of school time. his input along with others who attended that meeting will be shared with departments who help implement some of the city-wide planning that is currently taking place. matt has been involved with cpac and i am confident he would be an asset as an appointed member. i am very grateful to supervisor tang to connected me with matt, a life long resident of district 4, as the parent of twin kindergarteners attending public school and pending his approval of the appointment he would actually be the only male currently serving on cpac i am confident he will bring further diversity to the group and further round out school age diversity on c

agencies provide for some technical assistance that communities can use.tate or federal programs. this included preparing more than one preliminary engineering report and environmental analysis which likely made it more costly and time consuming for communities to complete the application process. we recommended several actions to improve coordination among the agencies and programs. in response as of february 2015 epa and the department of agriculture have developed a uniform preliminary engineering report template that applies to multiple programs. seven states have adopted the template for their use. epa and usda have also begun taking steps to develop guidelines to assist states in developing uniform environmental analysis. in summary, the nation's drinking water and waste water infrastructure needs are large and funding them will be challenging. rural communities face additional challenges in funding their infrastructure needs, given the financial, technical expertise and coordination challenges they face overall. federal agencies with states should c

should internet service providers the free to provide content as they see fit?hould access to the internet on your mobile device have the same protection as your fixed device at home? these questions get to the essence of the debate. how do we continue to ensure that consumers have the tool they need to decide, based on their own user experience, the consumer not me, not the government, not the industry, but you, the consumer? keeping in touch with your loved one overseas, interacting with your health care provider, even if you are miles away from the closest medical facility enrolling online for classes to improve your educational professional potential without worrying about whether the university can pay for a fast lane so that that lecture can be watched. not buffering for hours where equality has been degraded. not that. not wondering if this is with your enters-- your internet service provider is getting preferential treatment over that stardom. we are here so that teachers do not have to give a second thought about assigning homework has to be researched

we're really fortunate to have committed service providers and they are able to provide a service because they also use volunteers. a lot of the volunteers are trained, they've been there for years, able to provide the service and keeping the costs down that way. >> thank you. >> uh-huh. >> okay any other question? hearing none i will call for the vote. all in favor of approval of project open hand say aye. opposes? ayes have it and so the motion is carried. q, requesting authorization to modify the grant agreement with the institute on aging for the provision of home-delivered meals assessments for adults with disabilities during the period of july 1, 2014 through june 30, 2016, in the additional amount of $100,980 for a revised total grant not to exceed $366,817. could i have a motion to discuss? >> so moved. >> second. >> okay, we are into institute on aging. >> with institute on aging the additional amount of $100,980 is for them to be able to do the screening assessment for adults with disability to may need home-delivered meal. they do the screening assessment for this program and t

that provide various levels of care, homes providers, residential treatment, staff care providers, which are kind of a medium care facilities, transitional foster care and long-term foster care. a very small number of children placed in secure facilities if they have committed dangerous crimes or pose a danger to themselves or others. vast majority of children are housed in our shelter facilities. all permanent care providers are state licensed facilities licensed to provide residential services to minors. this means that are state licensing and orr. state licensing cover anything from reporting sexual abuse to providing nutritious meals and snacks, the number of square feet the children have in their rooms and services provided and much more. when a child is referred to orr from dhs, orr has intake specialists that must make placement determination for each child within the network that is the least redistributive setting and one in the best interest of the child. orr will identify any special needs the child may have and determine the best and most appropriate placement for the child.

doctors reviewing the care we provide. just to bring this example home we have a an officer in dallas who was killed in the line of duty when he approached a vehicle that contain ad murder suspect and set his weapon on the ground to break out a window to try to get this guy out of the car. that dash-cam video is out there right now. we got it. we used in the our own academy but every police officer should see that video to make sure they don't ever do the same thing. we lost one life that way. why should we ever lose another? because with simply because we haven't gotten the legal protections in place to allow us to have a frank discussion about what happens on a nationwide level. that is a lot about the what near-miss project is about to bring those lessons to the forefront in a identified way so people feel comfortable at least putting the lesson out there but with some legal protection you could really improve the way that law enforcement officers learn from each other. >> thank you. >> yes, ma'am. >> thank you. let's t

in some places, we provided them too much.you provided them a program that they are not going to get to. now, we come back and say, how can we adjust this? what will work best afghanistan? that is what i see now. it is very hard for us to do that for any army. the way they distribute equipment is tough but they understand how important it is so we continue to work that intelligence. i see them work in the intelligence room very well. they are in stovepipes. today, they have many fusion cells that bring them together like we have done in the past. that will give them a greater capability. their air force continues to grow. it will allow us to be able to continue to transition out. what president ghani has told me is our greatest legacy will be the systems and processes we provide afghanistan. >> are there some missions they just will not be able to do? >> i think there is some areas we have to continue to work with the afghans to make sure they have the confidence. i have no doubt they have the capability to do all of the missi

, than what we provide dollars for. and most of our, the folks that we work with have been great at raising dollars and so many times when you see an organization going past what we would fund that's because they have fund raised dollars to provide those extra meals. but, again, we will really be working to make sure that we, even though you see it in this contract, we will be working very hard to make sure that we keep the meal contract amounts in place as much as humanly possible. >> thank you. >> also wanted to add that the board of supervisors have passed a resolution to end hunger by 2020. at's a huge order. but that does speak to some commitment on their part to provide continued funding to be able to address and improve the food security for the most vulnerable population. >> commissioner sims. >> i'll wait, we have this on the table, right? go ahead. >> any other questions? seeing none, i call for the vote. all in favor of approving the jewish community center of san francisco say aye. opposes? ayes have it and

so the service was never provided. that way neither the provider is on the hook for a service they provided but then not getting paid for and the beneficiary is not on the hook for having received a service the provider is not going to then get paid for. >> thank you. >> thank you. gentlemen yields back and we recognize the gentlemen from tn tb. >> thank you. mr. chairman. just today the hill newspaper says in an article "before signing on to increase pentagon spending to highest level every r ever congress should insist on serious effort to identify and address wasteful spend beingty pentagon. among major agencies the pentagon is the only one never to smith letsubmit o are let alone pass a full audit. leaders have requested to step up production of the f-35 proven to be a massive drain on resources with no end in sight. .7.5 sunk in if fiscal 2014 alone with massive cost over runs and egregious acquisition failures." over the years i've read so many articles about waste at the pentagon. and i sometimes wonder if there

host: what is a service provider? ahuja: traditionally a service provider has been one that has a physical infrastructure. for example, a traditional telco or wireless operator, but more and more we are starting to see cable operators are also service providers, but even now, they are starting to emerge a new breed of providers, providers of services who don't necessarily have their own infrastructure. you could probably argue that netflix is a provider of service. or others like that. uber. they are all offering services but without owning if a structure. host: if some but he has comcast at their home or they have netflix, or a cell phone do they have a cisco product somewhere in that line? ahuja: i am happy to say absolutely. anywhere you go in the world and the operator you speak to whether they are cable, mobile or a wireline carrier, typically they will have cisco somewhere in the network. this is because we have known to be the internet company, the company that built out the internet. we have been responsible f
