reservation. the number of vacancies reported in changes on march 11 was 64 and the number of clients unable to get a reservation was 84. 48% of individuals were able to get a reservation, and 48% were not. six of the seven people surveyed did not answer the question about receiving a reservation. 15 individuals with less than six hours to obtain a reservation. 12 individuals waited more than six hours for their reservation. two of the three locations provided tokens. of the 36 individuals surveyed self-identified as disabled, 38% were unable to get a reservation. the recommendations here are two o do two turn away accounts in a year and compare the data and doing needs assessment. that is so we can get a better idea of how to address the needs. supervisor kim: thank you. just a clarification, when you said on march 11 that there were -- so that night, there were 64 vacant beds and you counted 84 clients that were unable to get a bed reservation. is that what that states? >> yes, that is correct.

source that suddenly makes us an eligible to withdraw from the rainy day reserve. it allows you to use that nonrecurring revenue source to plug that whole. it also clarifies the effective date to make it clear that this policy does not apply before the coming fiscal year's budget, but begins as of june 1, related to the fy 2012-2013 budget. supervisor kim: so this would allow a rainy day fund to be used for recurring expenditures or not? >> it would allow us to use nonrecurring revenues to replace the rainy day reserve. this is an unlikely circumstance, but it is one of these scenarios here. let's say the mayor and board adopted a budget that assumed $10 million from the rainy day reserve, because revenues declined to a level that you were eligible to withdraw $10 million from reserves. this circumstance we are imagining here is that the mayor and board about that budget and six months later, let's say we receive a nonrecurring revenue source as defined by this legislation, at the rainy day reserve accounts that towards the revenue targets. so it might squeeze the

>> this is a great time for the army reserve and for the nation.so as the active force starts to draw down, this is a great time for the army reserve and the national guard because we have a chance now to really employ this whole idea that we've been talking about called continueium of service which is really a human capital management strategy that integrates all the components, allows the soldiers to transition seamlessly between components, reduce the amount of duty statuses that we have from 30 down to six, for example, take that great capability that we've developed over the last decade and really put it to use for the nation. >> how many folks do you think as the active duty draws down do you expect to transition into the reserves and which career fields? >> well, you may know that in the army reserve, we have the bulk of the combat service for the army. so we suspect as the active force draws down we want to take that great capability to exist today and bring them into our formations in a way that makes sense. what those will be, we don't kn

we had a good reserve set aside. 15 million reserve. $2.6 million reserve in the children's fund for child care cuts, so in those ways we are well-positioned to handle the risks we have in the current year, but we do have significant risks. the downside items we are looking at our state and federal impacts that i will talk more about in a minute. it is somewhat disconcerting, despite the economic recovery, that unemployment remains weak. then we have a lot of uncertainty. the pace of economic uncertainty, whether it will continue. the november ballot, there are three or four items for prop b. it that does not pass, we will have to think about whether we want to do anything in the current year to address street paving and sidewalk repair item. we did not include a great deal of funding in the budget, almost no funding in the budget to maintain the street program and the bond does not pass. we want to make sure we keep up on the ada compliance program. prop c and d, these did not impact the current year so much. we did not make any assumptions about pension and benefit reform. this was

this with this way of getting to any part of the reserve in an emergency is by helicopter. when a fire flares up the helicopters will have to make dozens of trips a day but even that spells little to help. the toigo may remain a blaze for weeks on end some toys for as cover such a large area of the farm in from the region come to. controlling fire is especially difficult in coniferous forests it takes many years to recover from such a place floods are just as dangerous as files into early spring transporting fuel and basic necessities to the reserves is an extreme and often life threatening task which is more than. on one occasion snowmobiles broke down and we had to walk scores of kilometers such incidents would have made many others quit his job something keeps us going i think it gives us adrenaline i'm happy it's part of my life. it's a challenge that keeps you in good shape for. the following morning the weather changes abruptly it is clear from the full cost that the rain will keep coming down for almost a week. just decided against inspecting other siegal nests but t

as you know the federal reserve is a relatively recent institution in. erica i say i mean it's the past hundred years in between friends and between what is a hundred years it was founded in one thousand nine hundred eighteen having been inaccurate in one thousand and thirteen so from the dawn of the constitutional history of america seventeen eighty nine to nineteen thirteen with some exceptions having to do with the earlier. variants on central banking in this country it was without a central bank and so what how do we fix interest rates where there was a supply of credit or savings and the demand for credit and savings. and the marketplace tended to the setting of interest rates rather well the period one thousand nine hundred to one hundred thirteen for example in the authority of the terrific and universally esteemed financial economist charles good heart was perhaps the most successful and one of the most successful periods in american finance interest rates were stable bank failures few. i think the earnings strong nothing like the systemic collap

pallone: if i could reserve once again. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. pitts: madam speaker, at this time i yield one minute to the gentleman from ohio, mr. austria. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio is recognized for one minute. mr. austria: thank you, madam speaker, and i thank the gentleman from pennsylvania for his hard work on this bill and as a member of the congressional pro-life caucus and original co-sponsor of this bill, i strongly support the protect life act. you know, we heard during the health care reform debate that tax dollars would not be used to fund abortions. however, this important language was stripped from the final bill and replaced with accounting gimmicks and an executive order that could reverse -- be reversed at any time by this president or future administrations. this opens doors for federally funded abortions in the future and goes against the majority of americans who believe that the government should not be in the business of paying for abortions. congress must act now

state nature reserve was you watching in the daytime these colonies of to kill island. even people shouting at the top of the voices can hardly be fewer than four and a half million have a magical island even though it's only six square kilometers they are few and far between in the south because the wind is a strong cliffs it's the central part of the truck's most trust. there's a difference between nothing how it will look for example occupy narrow cliff cornices. made their nest among rocks this means that there are no free plots of land and the birds occupy the entire island that. you just would like to spend move toward and research. is a very well placed to get to a previous expedition into haiti. and that. results this time but was on the side of the scientists everybody works together and it's not it's not practical it's not like. historic sea voyage where you have no war for its many health problems i see even more than i expected because i've been very lucky to be here at a time when there are many different interesting projects. the ship leaves met a few isla

this brief period is known in the reserve as red carpet time. in the morning warney island surrounded by fog talk to me knows for sure the bird is nearby. in the morning they are most likely to be either in the depressions or at the water hole this behavior is characteristic of all animals roaming around to step. in the morning they feed on moist grass at this time the plants are rich in moisture and there is also a lot of juice here this meets their water requirements. over the years on the island the herd behavior has become quite varied. typical of all free roaming animals it's up to the alpha male to decide where the herd goes at any particular moment. but even without a leader the horses follow their natural instinct to flock together as they move around the island. as soon as a small group of horses begins moving the others gradually join in. for most of the year the mustangs live in a type of harming the roof to form as with colts in each of them each arima has a leader he knows which meza his mates and does his best to protect them again

hold with the federal reserve.directions that i could cite. >> got ya. in the little time i have left, i want to make clear from my earlier comments that i'm not blaming the fed for our inability in congress to work out our fiscal situation. what i'm saying is that as dysfunctional as this body is, and it is, there's no question, the laws of economics still apply to us. and if you participate in a process that allows us to borrow money at less than 2%, which is what our effective rate was last year, i can assure that you we will do it. i've heard those discussions within my own party, within the congress as a whole. why not borrow money, now it's so cheap, you'd be stupid not to. and i assure you that there are other moral hazards out there other than just your impact on the banking community. there is a morale hazard as it applies to this institution as well. what effectively the government is facing right now is a teaser rate. we're able to borrow so much money right now at a reduced rate, there's a very strong i

we have the reserve fund you established, which allows us to use the reserve. i have established another bond reserve fund, established about four or five years ago. that is up to about $50 million in addition. we were showing the debt rating agencies. they will see a $30 million reserve. >> that leslie allocated to debt service needs as opposed to operational needs -- that would actually be allocated to debt service needs. >> basically, none of them would be allocated. it would be a backstop. director heinicke: that is what i mean. >> half of it would be a reserve fund to give comfort to the credit rating agencies. our annual debt service would be in the range of $10 million or so in the first several years. we will budget that in the operating budget and give the rating agency some comfort. director heinicke: right. i get it. that will be comfortable for rating agencies, but the broader discussion, and we can do this at the workshop and perhaps before we issue, is a $15 million or $30 million reserve is a far cry from what we had before. i realize you have be

the federal reserve lots that to happen. -- the federal reserve left that to happen.ead time, but in 1970, that turns into a roaring inflation. by the end of the 1970's, our financial system is under severe stress. the total reserve steps in, drive the prime rate to 21%. they have been doing it for 70 years and suddenly they're paying 16% interest. not a good formula. the few that may get to that crisis, they get some help from the regulators. the fslic cost the taxpayer $300 billion. they had to go work for the fdic. none of them ever got fired. the regulators of the savings- and-loan industry encouraged to hedge their home mortgage portfolio. here is the dilemma. you cannot have lunch a home mortgage. when interest rates started to fall, they prepaid their mortgage. the regulators decided that you could not make money in home mortgages. they forced the savings and loans to get into the commercial real-estate lending business. shopping centers, office buildings, commercial property. they helped create a commercial real-estate bubble that burst in the early 1990's. on

on the left side are the savings moved into the reserve. since the program was adopted, the commission approved an increase in construction contingency. these were partially offset by savings on one of our contracts for the pipeline system. the delta here is $15.8 million reduction in reduction over the last quarter. we're still left with $146 million reserve at this point. during the reporting quarter, we achieved a number of noteworthy milestones. we advertised construction contracts and initiated construction on four different projects. the eastern section as well as the dam replacement. we also achieved final completion on five construction contracts. there has been an increase in overall system reliability as a result of the contract being completed, when you think about the bike tunnel, the balancing reservoir and the pump station upgrades have all been completed and these facilities are back in service. some of the greatest challenges we are tackling are summarized here. the first project is the only project that remains in 3 constru

federal reserve they were keeping it afloat in two thousand and eight well folks i got to hit you about a little legerdemain of grammar and syntax and word usage the word assets in this case refers to debt so whenever you see in the paper that x. is about one hundred eighteen billion dollars in assets well that's its assets for the bankers because it's that they're collecting rent from you in the form of austerity measures but it's not an asset in the sense that it's worth anything it's debt pulled out of their strange thing that has an interest bearing coupon that you've got to pay for through austerity measures yes it's an asset for them but it's a pain for you now the reason why the us federal reserve was propping up debts here for so long is that dexie is crucial they say to the municipal bond market so it holds the assets of many municipal bonds including new york city on its books like the pirates off the somali coast are critical for the economy of somalia but it's true if you remove the pirates the economy in somalia would collapse. that's true john the same way that dexia is cr
