to another wireless provider. it's very unlike the market that was around back when this law was passed when there was a monopoly phone provider. >> i think one of the challenges here is that in an overall internet ecosystem where there is potentially tracking of users in a variety of different ways, probably the simplest thing for consumers to understand is that they can go one place and opt out. exercise control. if you read the legislative history of the cpni law that congress passed that was part of the telecom act, the key concept was to give consumers control. control can mean an opt out or it can mean an opt in. if you're in a market, there's a small percentage of markets in the united states where there's only one land line isp. if you have an opt out you can still object and exercise your choice, provided that's presented clearly. similarly, with the rest of the ecosystem and the internet there are self-regulatory mechanisms like the digital advertising alliance opt out. one could work on that further and

is it the cost of providing the local stations? >> guest: it's a mix. the program content, as i said, is about $55, $57 per customer, per month, and that's a combination of broadcast television as well as the satellite networks. the bulk of the dollars are for satellite networks, the broadcast television is a smaller dollar amount, it's probably growing the fastest because they started at lowest, and it's on a parabolic curve going upward. the tough element to deal with there -- toughest element to deal with is regional sports. we have three regional sports networks x in a very short order, they will be $10 per customer, per month. it's the largest single cost, regional sports. >> host: and how bad because of ohio state's proximity to massillon? >> guest: in terms of rates, probably 35%. but the indians have a -- the cleveland indians have a channel, the cavaliers have a channel, so so those three, all owned by fox, are probably the most problematic because they're three really expensive channels, but they come together into one company,. >> host: matt

an equal amount is provided to the innovative charter schools opening across the district that provide a valuable alternative for students seeking a different experience. finally, through the opportunity scholarship program, students receive potentially life changing scholarships to attend private schools that offer opportunities rarely seen by low-income students. we often speak of the states as laboratories of democracy, but in this instance it is the district of columbia that is providing an instructive example of the value of trying different approaches, studying them, and then replicating the solutions that work, not the solutions that benefit entrenched interests. that is why i am so pleased to see this legislation includes important reforms to the program to ensure it performs at the highest standards and is fully assessed for its effectiveness. it is my hope that these assessment standards will be applied to many other programs at the department of education and across the federal government. parents have also expressed a higher education rate with their -- satisfaction rate wi

conway talking about the importance of them providing additional resources and providing education and information to people, because they -- the leaders already are motivated to change in many cases and it's the folks who are just not sure that's what they want to do or are skeptical that you need to bring along. i think that is a really important aspect of the next stage of all of this. >> thank you very much. >> great. we have another question at the mike. >> hi. i'm carl poser, co-chair of the long term care discussion group. i really enjoyed the presentation about the independence at home program and the savings to medicare and the quality of the care. but i thought of this question before the other two questions. but it's sort of a follow-up. what do we really know about the incidence of long term care medicaid costs and the burden of unpaid care giving around and if you don't have specific studies, what's your sense? does it also save in assisted living, nursing home and home care, long term care services or doesn't it? and what about the needs, you know, the pull on the unpaid

reluctant to provide them. obviously the biggest problem is lack of north korea's commitment to the implementation and denuclearization program. it's something to do with the arrangement. and which should come first and what would be the conditions for providing incentives. that's a clear contrast between the case. he provides a better sequence and the agreement and verification of incentives. second low there differences in the perceptions among the major stakeholders like the united states, japan and china. is north korea kept on exporting the arms and engaged with the countries. we have been questioning about the thoroughness of the chinese implementation on the other sanction. they are the threats and the difference is among the major players affected. the differences in the level of commitments. other than the nuclear nonproliferation. japan's perception in the 90s against north korea is mostly with the troops with the abduction issues. it was not so clear until they successfully conducted the missile laun

many cloud computing providers have been actively working to address the issue by providing customersith encryption so that they are taking themselves out of the loop. more recently, we have the rise of mobile devices, where you have lots of you storing large amounts of data on a device that literally someone could walk away with. it has been a big move within the encryption space on how do you enable things like full disk encryption so you have strong security on local storage. finally, we have the rise of the internet of things where many of these connective devices are in the home. users want to make sure these devices are secure. might have less bandwidth, less processing power, less energy needs, and you have to figure out how to deal with that. look at theyou history, you see a few things. first, what you see is a steady information security in response to new technologies and this is models. this is not the private sector trying to actively lockout the government, or anyone else, it is trying to make things more secure. all the use of encryption is more prevalent today, the deb

many cloud computing providers have been actively working to address this issue by providing client sidencryption or end encryption taking themselves out of that loop. more recently we had the rise of mobile devices where we had lots of users storing large amounts of data on a device, someone could walk away with. there is a big move as well in encryption space. how do you enable things like full disk encryption? you have strong security on local storage. finally we have the rise of the internet of things. all connected device, many of them in the home. users want to be sure these devices are secure and researchers are still experimenting a lot of different solutions to address unique needs when we have encrypted device. mite have less band wit and processing power and energy needs and you have to figure out how to deal with that. first i think when you look back at this history you see a few things. first what you see, there has been a steady stream of innovation information security over the past decades in response to new technologies and business models. this isn't the private sector

provide clean safe reliable and affordable energy to power our economy also providing thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of benefit to our local community. it made valuable contributions to our energy security for years and we look forward to what comes next. advanced reactors have the potential to become cleaner safer and more secure. to better understand these technologies. the other purpose of the hearing is to examine the nuclear energy act which was introduced last week by my colleagues. s 2975 directs the nrc to develop a regulatory framework under which applications can be reviewed. in keeping with the nrc's safety and security missions. the existing regulations were designed around one technology, and are not well suited for tib no vasions under way. this is clearly an issue my colleagues need to address. efficient and timely decision making at the nrc is crucial for our existing plants and emerging technologies. the bill modernizes the budget and fee structure. the existing industry needs to remain economically competitive and that will allow emerging technologies to gro

provides a power clean base power option. investment in new technology has artie happened, with nuclear power. again, that is why we have introduced this bill, time for congress to ensure th the nrc provides a framework so that investors can prepare to apply for licensing technology. it requires the nrc establish regulatory frameworks for issuing licenses for reactor technology. but it also requires a scheduled to implement of the framework by 2019. safety in nuclear is a number one goal of the regulatory framework. it ensures that we have this framework to safely regulate the nuclear industry. also requires collaboration in advancing new technology, national laboratories to provide the testing of new nuclear technology on federal lands, and the option to look at public-private partnerships between the doe and the private sector companies interested in investing in the future of nuclear. these testing opportunities allow for demonstration of technologies that nrc has not been licensing for the last four years. ms. chairman, i

it provides no profit. i mean, you can't take a product like video, which everybody wants, and add to it a set-top box which known wants and -- which nobody wants and become more profitable. that's insanity. they're trying desperately to get out from under it by moving to an app-based model. the industry was onboard with that. the pcc had -- the fcc had two choices here. the copyright industry and the cable industry and the rest of the providers were onboard with it which would eliminate the box for all practical purposes or this other approach that is very complex and is going to experience significant resistance. and the fcc's always saying the reason the cable card didn't work by significant resistance by the industry. what the heck do you think they're going to do now? not only are they going to do it, but the copyright people are going -- what if the copyright industry says you can't give this information to a third party? you can't. okay? what is the fcc's program going to do, mandate that you can giv

today commercial providers, businesses, schools, and governments of all shapes and sizes provide email and cloud computing services to customers, students, and employees. the email privacy act establishes for the first time in federal statute a uniform warrant requirement for stored communication content in criminal investigations regardless of the type of service provider, the age of an email, or whether the email has been opened. the bill preserves the authority for law enforcement agents to serve the warrant on the provider because, as with any other third party custodian, the information sought is stored with them. however, the bill acknowledges that providers may give notice to their customers when in receipt of a warrant, court order, or subpoena unless the provider is court ordered to delay such notification. the bill continues current practice that delineates which remote computing service providers, or cloud providers, are subject to the warrant requirement for content in a criminal investigation. it has traditionally imposed heightened legal process and procedures to obtain i

if house moms who listen, how sad to provide advice -- how stands provide if ice. we say we always have our veterans backs, and we never charge the veterans. the program is 100% free. we have had people analyze our program, phd's. they come back with the same conclusion. the program works. it is effective. the average applicant is on 10-15 medications. they will reduce or eliminate those medications after receiving the dog. 85% will provide insight a better. 77% report a reduction of nightmares or night terrors finally being able to get a full night sleep and get back on a lifecycle. as adam says about his service dog, she allows me to be a father and functioning member of society again. as joe says, i just would not be here without lily, she is the light in the darkness. when reread on the v.a. website that there is not enough research to know if dogs help the symptoms of ptsd we fundamentally disagree. there is not a void of research in this regard. there is enough research. canines for warriors is an example of how that can work. given the current crisis of vete

's missing numbers and continue to increase. >> i give you some numbers. 's hundred and two devices, and these are 67. if i dislike at the apple devices, ten related to homicide, 22 rapes, and two of them are related to members of the police department that were shot. as we are seeing an increase one thing i will say is does not always prevent us from making an arrest. >> and to expand its we ask a series of questions. sixty-four bit operating

we also provide for inflation adjustment. now, ms.k, do you believe this amount is an appropriate ceiling to ensure the nrc is adequately resourced to execute this safety and security mission? >> thank you, senator. yes. in fact, as you've just described we think fiscal year 2015 is the high water mark, quite frankly, for the agency. we feel, in fact, that it shouldn't need to approach that ceiling. as you describe some of that work load, in fact, is declining from post-fukushima and we feel that a more efficient agency should, in fact, be able to operate with a corporate spending more in line with their peer agencies. >> but whether or not you would want to reach that cap, it is adequate? >> it is adequate, yes, senator. >> now under the amount of annual fees that the nrc collects would increase when newly operating plants begin to pay their fees or would decrease when reactors close, do you believe that's an appropriate way to account for increases and decreases? >> yes, senator, we do. that obviously speaks directly to work load an

if we do not provide the form, the coverage doesn't flow. we haven't provided the form in these cases. as a result, it hasn't flown. with the self insured plans but is true of all of them. >> because the government has another interest at stake, one thing you said -- i want to be clear that this is not involved at all. no one doubts for a moment the sincerity of the belief of your client and all the others. sincerity of their belief is accepted it's off the table any more than the sincerity of belief on the parents in the roy case was questioned. didn't provide these for women and it saw compelling interest there so it can't be all my way. there has to be an accommodation. that's what the government tried to do. >> i agree but just because they call it an accommodation -- if what they give my client is what they gave the 300,000 churches, purely religious activities of religious orders, if they gave that accommodation to my client, we would fill out any form they wanted to. but the problem is, we have to fill out a form. the consequence of u

now include broad band providers. it had two goals. one was to protect the privacy of information that consumers have to provide to carriers to get service. so that's like, you're talking about common carriers, you're talking about companies that where their primary function is to carry the customer's communications from one end to the other. and so in that context, if you're making a phone call or browsing the internet or using any online service, you have no choice but to provide certain information with the carrier about the traffic. so with a phone call you have to provide information about the phone number you're calling, the length of time you're talking on the phone. et cetera. and with internet traffic, it's kind of similar. you have to provide information about -- that enables the broad band provider to route the traffic from one place to another. the customer pays the carrier for service. and has to provide information about their communications in order to get that service. and one of the goals of the law i

to improve the services they provide to taxpayers, they need to provide adequate funding for the i.r.s. they need to increase it instead of cutting it as they have in previous years. this bill's also a distraction from the republicans' inability to act on what really matters, the budget bill. the flint bill in terms of responding to the crisis there. the puerto rican legislation. well, in part because this is simply a sense of congress, it's more or less innocuous except saying to the i.r.s., pay yourselves, the i.r.s., for the printing and the shipping, $500 it cost last year -- $500,000 it cost last year, while at the same time the republicans say we are not going to provide the funding necessary for customer services. there is that total inconsist tency. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentlelady from south dakota. mrs. noem: mr. speaker, i yield to the gentleman from wisconsin as much time as he will consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. grothman: one of the frustrating things about the federal gove

guidance is intended to provide clarity and provide examples of best practice. we do not believe guidance has the force of law. it often includes our interpretation of the law again to provide clarity. sen. alexander: thank you. a provision in the act, as i 1970,ned, first put their says school districts have to provide comparable services to title i schools. , foron comparability purposes of this subsection, in determining that competition, staff salary differentials for years of employment shall not be included in such determinations. you agree, yes or no, that the law print its requiring local school district to use teacher salaries when demonstrating that they are providing title i schools with at least comparable services as title -- non-title i schools. sec. king: you are referencing the comparability section and yes, i believe that is an accurate dictation of the comparability section of the law. sen. alexander: you have had a chance to study the law. did congress make any changes in the comparability section when we reauthorized the law last year? think

developers are not providing 40%. developers not providing the city 20% 19.2 million that land is worth a lot more about $50 million which is really a giveaway of city land that we should earn. the board of supervisors approved the sale of block 9 for a price of almost $43 million. again there is something going on there. finally, the environmental impact report that you're supposed to get there isn't one. based on data more than 12 years old and that neighborhood is changed completely. now, is residential. before, it was warehouses and light industrial system. is very very different. finally, i asked oci i for an economic study and they finally said that they do not have an economic study. >>[timer dings] >>next speaker please >>there is no doubt that the additional hundred and 26 feet height increase will alter a number of important san francisco precedents and environmental issues that until now been vigorously protected by thought for visionaries responsible for a safe future. you know that concern about not prote

so we create a system that ultimately provides transparency, which is much needed, provides fiscal oversight in terms of giving out of the type of economic circumstances that the government of puerto rico has faced over, now accumulated well over a decade, but at the end of the day, it maintains, in essence, the element of sovereignty for the puerto rican people. >> senator, i can almost hear the resistance now -- not just from republicans, which we'll get to in a second, but perhaps, also, from investors who will, in fact, probably argue that you're changing the rules here midstream regarding restructuring, that years ago when they threw their money into puerto rico's bonds, restructuring was impossible. now you want to say, "wait. it is possible." my question is, is that fair? >> well, if we don't allow puerto rico to restructure its debt and prioritize it, then no one is going to get much money, if anything. as you mentioned, joe, puerto rico's on the verge of not being able to pay its next set of payments, and so and what we're going to have is a rush to court and years of litigation tha

because they do that, they provide a critical service in our society. that is why we recognize them as organizations that are significantly treat -- contributing to society such that they should get a tax exemption. there is a great concurring opinion that justice alito wrote that justice kagan joined p or justice kagan says these religious organizations are a critical buffer between the government and the individual. they recognize that these religious organizations form a critical layer of services that help people in need. i think it would be -- it would be unfortunate for people to think that the solution here is to make these people pay taxes when in reality, they are providing such crucial services to our society. host: the head of the little sisters of the poor rights at the same time that the government was putting this mandate to cover contraceptives at no cost to the employee, and exempted big corporations like exxon and visa. even the government's own health program for military families, tri-care and its military program for the disabled do

service will be provided. legal suvs also went out to rfp and decreased slightly, a 3 percent dip and that is due to changing cost of business. the ombuds men and aelder abuse prevention program have multiple suvs units associated with them and most have stayed the same ore gone up. one or two have gone down. the units are set benchmarked by the state and not something dos can change. they bas that in part on prior service level 6789 eldser abuse prevention went down in one area that fsh public education sessions and this change happened because the provider, the institute on aging is getting so many requests for professional trainings andpressinitations they had trouble keeping up with the demand. they increased the number of informational materials they distribute because that feels like a better way to reach the public than a limited number of education sessions. high cap service units are also set by the state and haven't gotten those benchmarks yet so that is why it is listed as pending. by the end of mar

base of the osha saying thank you for providing some of the solutions you provide. i'm going to look at alexander versus sandoval and whatnot. we been talking about reimbursement and that's come up in the conversation. i want to talk about something specifically. what i'm learning is we've got, we had a fee-for-service model and we are moving toward pay-for-performance. and pay-for-performance being hospitals want to look at how many revision revisions they haw healthy our patients when they leave. so my question is how do you think implicit bias is going to play into access to health care went pay-for-performance is now the model and now some doctors and health care providers in general, their salaries are depend on health of their patients. if we are all being fed misinformation, important information, how does that affect kind of setting up private practices and other sort of health care outputs? >> that's just a great question. first of all thank you for being cognizant of implicit bias, the change in come the delivery model and reimbursement model as a medical

if house moms who listen, how sad to provide advice -- how stands provide if ice. we say we always have our veterans backs, and we never charge the veterans. the program is 100% free. we have had people analyze our program, phd's. they come back with the same conclusion. the program works. it is effective. the average applicant is on 10-15 medications. they will reduce or eliminate those medications after receiving the dog. 85% will provide insight a better. 77% report a reduction of nightmares or night terrors finally being able to get a full night sleep and get back on a lifecycle. as adam says about his service dog, she allows me to be a father and functioning member of society again. as joe says, i just would not be here without lily, she is the light in the darkness. when reread on the v.a. website that there is not enough research to know if dogs help the symptoms of ptsd, we fundamentally disagree. there is not a void of research in this regard. there is enough research. canines for warriors is an example of how that can work. given the current crisis of vet

let me provide a flavor of this. the average canines for warriors applicant is on 10 to 15 medications. the 92 percent will reduce or eliminate those medications after receiving those dog. 73 percent of our graduates improve their overall health. 85 percent will handle anxiety better. 77 percent report a reduction of nightmares for night terror , finally being able to get a good nights sleep and being able to get back on a life cycle. as adam legrand was behind me says about molly, she gives me meaty ability to be a father and a functioning member of society again and as joe who is behind me also says, i just wouldn't be here without lily. she is the light in the darkness of ptsd. when we hear and read on the va's website that there is quote, not enough research yet to know if dogs actually help treat pts and its symptoms, we fundamentally disagree. there is not a void of research in this regard that we don't know whether or not a service dog can help mitigate the symptoms associated with ptsd and its associated morb
