it purports to give the mta authority to regulate town cars and limousines that are already regulated by the california puc. it is in direct conflict with the provisions of the california public utilities code. i am an attorney. i have a client who has been in discussions with mca. supervisor mirkarimi: could use a your name, please? >> and daniel rocky -- daniel rocky. my client has developed an iphone application to interface with town cars. i have learned a lot about the regulatory scheme. under the california public utilities code, regulation of town cars and limousines is delegated to the puc. they are licensed by the puc. the code provides that the m.t.a. has no role in regulating those cars. the problem with this legislation as it purports to delegate to the mta authority that is invested in the puc. that is one issue. i got miss hiyashi to address that. the second issue i have is with the new section 7.3 0.6 -- 7.3.6. i understand that taxicab's don't appreciate when hotels, doormen, passengers -- take passengers to illegal town cars.

[laughter] i think it is the government asking you to go out of your way to re- imagine tennessee electric as a different kind of case to preserve. >> if you are just making a treaty power claim, however you going to win on remand in the third circuit if we reverse? if your client has standing, does fall within the prerogatives of the court of appeals to say that missouri versus holland was wrong? >> this is a technical matter. we could go back to the third circuit and still have standing to make an argument on precedent. i think is a mistake to think that is some bright line rule that forever a

as a matter of fact, the description of what they purport my property to be doing is what they want to do, they want to cover nearly their entire yard and look over everyone else's property. also you can see there are no other roof decks in the area. as mr. fung stated given the layout of the corner, this proposed deck should not exist either. please hold this addition back and deny the roof deck. the whole excuse of they have a smaller lot, they should be able to build a bigger house is ridiculous and greedy. this whole thing is up. ed up and bloated just like it was on steroids. this is -- we all know this is just another project for the developer's portfolio but these are our homes and our properties that we love and cherish and we're asking today to please help us protect them. thank you. vice president olague: thank you. >> and we have a group of neighbors that takes great issue with the size of the project and the proposed rooftop deck will remove all privacy from our bedroom. the aerial reviews on this view show this is block thing up here is the run room and the top of my house

the city purport's through nonprofits and some city departments, it tries to integrate as much as they can the training and placement. the numbers show it pales in comparison to those that actually needed. how will this procedure get at the population? >> there are multiple populations in san francisco with high barriers. formally incarcerated, oewd does a series for community- based organizations specifically geared towards helping this population. the formerly homeless is another population that is increasingly difficult to find employment opportunities for. partnering with community-based organizations and linking them up with opportunities in the job market and playing the brokerage services is where we can provide these things in a more meaningful way than we have in the past. supervisor avalos: the trend has been predominantly through construction jobs. that is where workforce and first source has been concentrated. in the afterlife of 45 years of redevelopment and the economic downturn, the landscape has changed. it is not so much having construction jobs. the question is raised

i believe that we purport to support the free exchange of political thought and ideas, and the liberal class without that counterweight of radical movements to keep them hoppest began to break them apart. it serves a critical function in a state, and that function is two-fold. it acts as a safety valve. it meeks peace -- it makes peace possible, and an example of how the liberal class works is a break down of capitalism in the 1930s and the rise of the new deal. we had essentially figures like franklin roosevelt or the great henry wallace later in his own presidential campaign in 48 tarred and smeared for being so off communism. the last major political figure with the exception of george mcgovern to challenge the permanent war economy and the resources pumped into the huge defense industry, so we saw the liberal class provide channels or mechanisms within the power structure by which the grievances and injustices and suffering of working men and women could be redressed. that is the role of the liberal class, and it's why traditional power elites toller lit liberal institutions and th

all these purported benefits, find them, there's been little benefit that's delivered under this law. everything is back-loaded. there's not much money flowing until 2013, 2014, all the medicaid expansions don't happen, the states are forced to spend money but the feds aren't actually giving them any more money except for rare cases. there's no new subsidys in exchanges because there aren't exchanges for three more years, this is somewhat of a poe poe team kin village. all of these great things you can count them on the fingers of a hand. the high risk pools, they've only gotten 8,000 people to sign up for it. this is a pretend game to find hostages to tie to the railroad tracks to say "stop, if you do this this person will be run over." when we're talking about the rest of the health care system which is being less sustainable it's very irresponsible legislation. >> suarez: is he right we haven't seen the benefits of this law? >> there are numerous benefits. i can't speak to his own experience, but for the cancer patient in new york, around the country, cancer patients who are no lon

the feminine mystique hit the newstands gallop conducted a major news poll in december 1962 and he purported to find that women were the american housewives were the happiest people on earth. what did it take to make them happy? that the man be number one. one woman he interviewed said, being subordinate to men is part of being feminine. what gives her pleasure. another said that a woman needs a master/slave relationshipwhether it's a husband a wife and a boss and a secretary and just sentences after describing how happy women are that they had all the rights they wanted, they just didn't care to use them gallop even noted it had been hard to interview all these women because some of the husbands wouldn't let them talk to the interviewers. [laughter] >> so it's no wonder that homemakers in the 1950s, some homemakers in the 1950s from all income groups were extremely insecure about their role in society. they were actually more likely than women who worked outside the home to suffer from low self-esteem and depression. and more likely -- ironically, though, the ones who were the most likely t

are you aware in the context of that, 78 homes are going to be taken by purported eminent domain. >> i am aware of that. >> the power of eminent domain does not come from them locally. it is your power they are stepping into. they're making their own independent decisions, they're not using any kind of regional association because they choose not to, by their words not ours, because of revenue streams, and yet your power of eminent domain is what they are using to take these homes. is that fair to those homeowners that they are not looking at what the gao suggests may well be an alternative to dealing with congestion? >> i think the gap in what you and i are discussing is captured in our ability to force them to join in any type of regional planning authority. we simply don't have that authority nor we could compel or restrict them from that. we went through a record of decision process, they made their plan which did, in fact, include capturing some land and in the interest of expanding the overall flow and contribution to the system, it's a reasonable plan. it met our criteria, fed

we have had a couple of instances where people have passed on what they have purported to be direct correspondence or messages from mr. gaddafi. >> what a lot of us are seeing is cell phone video of bodies in various parts of the country. at what point does rhetoric becomes action or the country? and for the countries who have citizens in their? >> we are taking action. we are in broad consultation with other governments as well. we do not have the kind of relationship or the kind of economic relationship that other countries have. if the intent is to find ways to put pressure on mr.gaddafi, his family and others who are responsible for the human rights violations, the suppression of the libyan people that we have seen, then we need to work as a national community, including actions with those -- the idea here is that collectively we can put a concerted international pressure on libya. we are reviewing those options right now. the president has instructed the government to come up with a range of options. that is being done actively as we speak. we are in the process of making decisions, taking ac

just that difference wipes out three-fourths of the purported savings in this budget of the next decade. then secondly, on job creation i don't understand why the administration comes back with higher taxes on u.s. companies trying to compete and win overseas because all we are doing is encouraging companies to manufacture. $87 billion more in energy, taxes on u.s. companies encouraging them to send their workers overseas. finally, this budget takes a whack at real-estate partnerships, traditional partnerships to build our shopping centers, departments to movie theaters, office buildings none of which can stand almost tripling of their taxes. so how in heaven's name is the white house believe it will jenn up the economy which is very sluggish by taxing the manufacturers and job creators most likely to get us out of these tough times? >> excellent question. let me respond quickly. i actually think if you look carefully at the economic presumptions and the budget, they are quite realistic and conservative. at some part of the horizon some of the estimate was a little higher. that other ca

hometown, you cannot argue that an organization like that cares about the rights of women and girls she purports to serve. so, mr. speaker, i ask you, why on earth are we given $363 million in taxpayer funds every year to planned parenthood? it is time to say no more. the time has come to respect the wishes of a vast majority of americans who admitly opposed giving taxpayer dollars for abortion. that is why i support this amendment, mr. speaker, and that is why i urge my colleagues to do the same, and i yield back. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman from rhode island rise >> i rise to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. cicilline: what i heard in the course of my campaign was the urgency to get people back to work, to strengthen the middle class, to create jobs and deal with the deficit. and we just spent the last three hours under the cloak of deficit reduction. my friends on the other side of the aisle have pushed this very extreme amendment, which is targeting women's health care and women's health care providers. this ideological att

it's truly mind-boggling the same members who purport to be anti-choice can turn around and say in the same breath they want to strike all federal family planning. so now they not only want to make abortions illegal but throw a huge to be stackle in the path of those who want to prevent from ending up in a space they don't want to be. it doesn't help women or families and certainly doesn't help reduce our deficit. that's because title 10 actually saves taxpayer dollars. since many of the patients served on title 10 are on medicaid, preventative care like cancer screenings means future costs to the taxpayers in the long run. indeed for every dollar invested in public planning, $3.74 is saved in medicaid related costs. that is savings to both federal and state governments. mr. chairman, i'm proud to support this amendment from my good friends that would reinstate title 10 funding in the continuing resolution. the decision by republicans to defund title 10 was not only reckless but thoroughly anti-woman, anti-child, and anti-taxpayer. i urge my colleagues to support this amendment and hel

the department of agriculture's grain inspection packers and stockyard agencies proposed rule for purported fairness far exceeds congressional intent expressed in 2008 farm bill. it lacks credible economic analysis and has so far been the result of a regulatory process that can only be described as flawed. we have a responsibility to producers, packers, processors, retailers, and, yes, consumers to continue to examine this proposal's implications and act accordingly. in addition, over the past several months the cftc and other federal financial regulators have been engaged in writing unprecedented new regulations over the derivatives market. as chairman pointed out to our committee yesterday, since september alone the cftc has issued 39 new rules proposals involving thousands of you pages of regulation. by comparison, before d.o.d.-frank -- dodd-frank, the cftc averaged about five rules per year. the speed with which the cftc is issuing new rules precludes their ability to conduct an adequate cost benefit analysis to ensure that the rules do not impose unnecessary or undue regulations on ou

director doug holtz-eakin wrote in an article along with others, explained that the bill's purported deficit reduction is based on budget gimmicks, deceptive accounting and a plausible assumption used to create the impression of fiscal discipline, the fact is that repeal will not add to the deficit, the bill itself is the budget buster, not repeal. madam president, what i'd like to do is insert in the congressional record at this point the remainder of my comments which go through four basic assumptions that were built into the legislation as the way it was drafted, which theoretically demonstrate a savings of money through the adoption of the legislation but which as the authors point out actually result in not a savings but rather an increase in the federal budget deficit. one of these has to do with the fact that taxes are collected for ten years but costs only accrue over six. obviously, you're going to get some money that way, but after that first six years, you have to count the costs as well as the revenue you take in. another is the inclusion of the so-called class act which
