the standards of care. in the second quarter, there was 32 standards of care and complaints filed. the committee conducted five investigations and for them to the department of public health with recommendations on the violations. in the third quarter, there was 57 complaints filed. the committee also investigated those complaints and then we've lowered our findings to the departments of public health. the inspection findings for october through december. 76% of the sides inspected either did not have an emergency disaster plan or did not conduct the emergency fill -- emergency bill. 37% did not have access to tokens. what i wanted to do just to have a visual is a breakdown of the site inspection violations for the second quarter. when we to our inspections, there are four categories of the standards of care fall into. the first is that i have the facility and access and this represents 53% of the violations in that category. the second category, 33% of the violations were in that category followed by ameri

the standards of care. and lastly, currently there are two vacancies and i wanted to also note. and part three which requires them to have an experience with providing homeless and community setting and we have been doing extensive outreach to fill those two seats. we also need spanish speaking members and are working with provider who is provide service to spanish-speaking needs. >> what is the major needs and spanish is one? >> spanish is one. and yes, spanish is the primary. are there any questions? and the standards of care legislation was passed when? last year in 2008. and this is the second year of reporting then? and the standard of care creates a standard for homeless folks being provided basic needs for the paper and being created respectfully and so i think for the overall body and the shelter monitoring committee and the standards of care have definitely improved the standards within the shelter system. and at some point i would the love see more of a longitudinal study over the past couple of y

the americans with disabilities act category which is just one standard, standard 8. that is in the methodology. you can review that. provide shelter services with the ada act. the provision of accessible sweeping, bathing facilities. reasonable modifications and shelter facilities and providing information to new clients which includes rules, how to access case management services, and made available to clients through the use of large print or asl services. this is focused on the lack of the nile or access through the auspices focus on the lack of the nile are accessed through this is -- this is focused on the lack of access or denial. not accommodating the client's request for special meals. >> can you talk about the last one? >> this requires someone who is disabled and they require a tray of food brought to their table. the health and hygiene category, this refers to 11 standards of care which focus on meals, access to toiletries, and stock first aid kits. in this category, there was 39 separate complaints including allegations of mold. a lack of protective equip

and the standard of care creates a standard for homeless folks being provided basic needs for the paper and being created respectfully and so i think for the overall body and the shelter monitoring committee and the standards of care have definitely improved the standards within the shelter system. and at some point i would the love see more of a longitudinal study over the past couple of years over what areas we have improved in and what areas we continue to have challenges in. and for me it would be interesting since it's really important to me we improve our standards in the shelter system and thank you so much. thank you for all of your work on this issue and if oh members are here from the shelter monitoring committee, appreciate this in information and am excited you are working with the health care center to involve training and what they do for many members of the population. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. at this time we'll open up for public comment on this item. two minutes. >> thomas pecirillo and i respectfully disagree with the conditions in the homeless shelters are

please adopt the standard. >> thank you.

it's a two-part standard. first, as would be applicable in any action that we take the question is whether the proposal is consistent with the intent of congress as manifested in the language of the statute. but second, i think we have to toe focus on the the fact that we are required to act here. this is not a question of discretion on our part whether to act. so the second part was whether i have a concrete alternative proposal that would better realize my own policy preferences while also remaining consistent with the statutory language. with respect to the consistency of the propose d regulation, i believe the staff proposal is consistent with the regulation of the statute. as discussioned in the register notice circulated by the staff. and as mark alluded to in his presentation a few moments ago. there are some possible readings, such as one to craft standards to make an exception to entail enormous levels of uncertainty in the part of issuers, networks and merchants alike as to what fees were acceptable.

and that we have brought up the standards.again, immaterialed to talk a little bit about -- i wanted to talk a little bit about the walks through and just real quickly, that period. there were 2-30 hand sanitizers that were empty. there was a drinking fountain and this is just at next door that was in the process of being repaired but didn't have a repair date. there was a stall door that was ripped off of one of the bathrooms that we're in the process of being repaired. and some janitor logs weren't complete and there weren't latex glove in every size. and again, i want to create a visual of the reality -- >> thank you. can i ask you a quick question because i am very concerned about tokens. do you run out of tokens quickly? >> no. what we do and i agree with l.j. is that the monitoring committee will come in at 6:00 to 6:30 and we're feeding the supervisors tokens and they aren't under lock and tea. we normally get 200 to 300 tokens and we have a log we keep and in order to get more tokens so we're never hout, we got to miss

if it works right you have a standard. the problem seems to have been that that standard was not one on which we could rely as scientifically -- is that an accurate impression? >> pretty accurate. one thing we got in the interagency working group looking at this issue is to find replacement credit rating that is transparent and consistent across different banks and financial instruments. that is useful to the markets and banking system and regulatory committee. transparency is a hallmark we are striving for. >> thank you. i yield back my time. >> thank you. mr. stafford is recognized for five minutes. >> the gentleman from delaware said a represent columbus ohio and surrounding areas in my district. we make half a million cars a year and employ 3300 people at uses asset backed bonds to finance building and financing of cars. i have some questions for mr. ramsay. the gentleman from massachusetts embedded in a question assumed ratings are not in perspective of asset backed bonds but they're still in the prospect of the fcc s

and the freddie mac standards. so at a minimum the lack of a cinco clearly defined set of rules has added to the confusion, delayed much of the market from clearing, disgraced private capital from coming back into this sector. economists are right, and we can be part of the solution if we assisted. >> thank you. like to recognize the ranking member for the remaining time. i will yield to the gentleman i agree with you. we need to work to this backlog. it is slowing our economy. roughly 25 percent of our economy. as long as it is there we don't have a problem with our economy. we need to do it in a fair way, and i don't think anyone on this panel or this room agrees with the robust signatures for moving to evict people from their homes without meeting with them, telling them of a program or possibility that is there, working with them, or even finding out if they have money in the bank to help move through this process. we need to move through it, but in a fair way. again, i look forward to the rules and standards t

we've got to keep a high standard.of law and our constitution and presumption of innocence. if they can't meet that burden mike -- >> it is as if nobody will be convicted on circumstantial evidence again. >> sean: that is not true. you can't tie her to the case. we done even know the cause of death. >> at dna didn't match. >> if it doesn't fit, you must an question. >> robert shapiro is a friend of mine.

[ gnome ] it's go time. >> sean: we're fighting in the break. >> the one thing i think if you look at this case this is the perfect case to look at in america. where you really despise the verdict. but, what you like is the process. the process in fact shows that anybody out there who is accused can stand before a jury of their p

or tighter pollution standards? let the public be able to choose the old ones that polluted more. i'd be amazed if my colleagues said, why should we have more efficient driers and washers and re-- drires and washers and re-- and refrigerators this bill is absolutely unnecessary. in 2007, the lighting industry and the efficiency advocates reached the consensus on national standards to make light bulbs more efficient and avoid a patchwork of conflicting state standards. an effective january -- and effective january 1 of next year, these national standards will go into effect. what we have is an atell to repeal a proposal that was offered by our current chairman of the energy and commerce committee, the gentleman from michigan, mr. upton and former congresswoman jane harman, that passed on a bipartisan voice vote with members on both sides of the aisle speaking in favor. this bill, which they want to repeal, was signed into law by president george w. bush as part of the 2007 energy independence and security act. since

so, therefore, the only way around is to provide a different standard and a different standard in dodd-frank is to say they are now subject to in knowingly or reckless standard. there for opening the door but it does exactly what i think you suggest we should do. >> i think doing surgery instead of with a laser, doing surgery with a meat cleaver. i believe that, i believe that the attempt to rectify the behavior can be done very simply and create the same standard, the same standard for rating agencies as every other professional in the financial marketplaces. that would solve the problem. >> i would just you talk to lawyers because i'm pretty sure it is the same standard that applies to everybody else. if anyone else has a suggestion of how we could have done it surgically to get rid of -- >> i'm a lawyer. >> how could we have circumvented a long-standing series of court decisions that have said they are protected by the first amendment? >> if you look at the recent ruling of the second circuit which is very favorable to the rating agencies, very favorable, -- >> but not based on the knowin

are there others -- are those standards -- >> those standards also, mr. chairman, i might add, are standards the state sets under the clean water act. under cleaning up oil, there are a number of observable approaches you'd take including removal of the visible oil and the sheening on the water. >> right. i guess the question is we need to know what we're dealing with here. that is, what is the standard? if people need to know what the standard is -- >> uh-huh. >> is that -- >> there's drinking water standards. >> i know. i'm just talking about the average guy's got a place along the river, and he wants to know or should know what's the standard by which, you know, epa, the state, exxon, all related here will clean my place up to. how's he supposed to know? >> well, it's the water quality standards of the state of montana is what we will make sure we achieve. >> is that known what that is? >> i don't have it here in front of me, but, yes, it is known. >> it should be known. >> it will be -- if it's not known, we will certainly make sure of it. >> can i as

the training has professional ethics and professional standards. the latter ones on the list reflect public health principles. not all professionals may be cross-trained in public health. these are more progressive or proactive, the duty to monitor, to inform, to advocate for public health. it is more part of public health values. they are part of the training. we don't have any formal updates of these trainings during the course. there is a lot of on-the-job training. we will revisit these issues, we will revisit them at a staff level. i think it would be a good idea to reinforce these principles proactively among staff on a regular basis. supervisor campos: i think that is a very good idea. from my perspective, when there is a health issue that is implicated, when i look at the department of public heal,

stricter standards this time around. they're looking at reserve benchmark p 5% core capital, the ability of banks to happen contraction in the euro zone in 2011, a 15% slide in euro stock markets and the ability to handle potential trading losses on sovereign debt. not all are taking part. only 90 results are to be released and the german bank withdrew on thursday to avoid public fame you're. they refused permission for the publication of results and the withdrawal has to some extent challenge validity of these tests. so what are the implications if a bank fails? they must show plans to plug the shortfall by the end of the year. they can request tax payer money only if needed. and if it only just passes, it's forced to improve its capital offers. back to you. >> of course where i am in italy, a number of the italian banks hold no less than 3.36%. allegations that news corp journalists hacked in to phones have shocked the world. now it seems they've crossed the atlantic and the fbi says it's launched its own investigation

considers them the gold standard. they obviously conduct a whole host of other activities and inspections and testing. there's quite a few things that they do the but we thought this was worth while to single out given the significance. we do recognize, you know, they're difficult to do quickly. you have to get the f.b.i. involved. >> what i don't understand is given the imperative, given the knowledge and understanding, that we're only as strong as the weakest link. and it may be that small airport, as we saw on 9/11 when a person got on the plane, not one of the major airports, got into the system, got into the security line. why is the t.s.a. not getting towards 100%? there's 457 airports. why aren't 457 airports getting this j.v.a. done? >> this level of assessment will be done with a limited number of airports. not all airports will be done of the they will have inspections and complete -- >> i just -- i absolutely don't understand that. i don't understand it. think it's unacceptable. let me move on. mr. orr, in

the nutrient standard. you hear a lot about phosphorous sediment pollution in our lakes and rivers and streaks and to go in there and set a number, a numerical number that they can't exceed that in discharge at that level -- discharging at that level causes some problems. for us, 40 years we've been waiting under a system called the narrative standard where states can go in there and look at what's going on in that watershed, in that stream or river and determine, because i can tell you in every river and stream in this country there's different things happening, the bioology's different, the p.h. is different, the water flow, sunshine, whole host of things and they can incorporate that and come up with a plan how to address the issue they have in their local locale. when you set a number at such a high level it puts a state at a problem where they can't meet attainment or it's not possible and we've seen that happen in florida and now it's why there's litigation pending because they've set a one size fits

. >> hearing on the standards, projects that may cause environmental health impact. >> this is an item that i introduced and let's make it very clear what the purpose of this item is. it is an item that will involve a general discussion of the standards and procedures that are followed in the department of public health as they provide a review of land use projects or other projects that come before the board that require their expertise in terms of analyzing and the environmental health impacts of those projects. there may be members. the focus of this presentation and this discussion is for us to hear from the department of public health generally speaking on standards and procedures, the ethical guidelines that they follow. i thought it was important for us to have this discussion because anybody that follows the board of supervisors and of the many complex issues that come before us, including the complicated projects that come before the board for approval, they recognize the very important role that the department of public health plays. it is very useful for us as members of the

>> a 24 inch box, which is the new standard. we do at least 24-inch box or larger unless the site is to constrained that we have to go small every. er -- smaller. it increases the survival rate of the tree. so this is our new standard. >> it takes a little while until they can adapt to the location. how long does that usually take? a couple of seasons? >> it does. we normally will water a tree throughout the dry season which we estimate about nine months of the year. so if it is -- has not rained, we have to go water the tree. once it is established, then it does not need our help. >> there's a particular problem with trees that are in boxes or in planters or that are not planted in the ground and that's that they have a lot of area of evaporation. so trees like this that are sitting in boxes in sidewalks need a lot of care and a lot of water. >> that's right. we would water these extra so several times a week while we are waiting. one of the reasons why we try to get trees planted in the ground rather that in raised plantearns

so leed has a series of standards. starting with leed certified. you have met a high level the sustainability. you can go to leed silver or gold. it's leadership of environmental design. it's a process of the u.s. green building council. beverly is ahead of this curve. we see every new building as sustainable features. they are not all leed certified. that's what the market demands >> our work is in the public sector. community colleges and so on. 5 years ago, we were trying to get them to think about it. then think about california is on the forefront of nation. san francisco is on the forefront of state >> and beverly prior is way up there. we are up there at the top. it sounds like the challenge came to making this physical reality achiefable. what is the marginal cost? every always asks me. what is the marginal costs. may be i shouldn't ask. i have to say, there's a huge difference. between building a building from scratch, where you can design at will features from the ground up and the marginal cost then when you take an existing building. yo

. >> but they have to meet the same standards of safety, but maybe not the same standards of -- >> labeling. >> -- labeling. and so sometimes it comes down to just common sense, but other times, you know, sometimes you have to just follow the letter of the law. >> common sense in the building code. okay. laminated glass -- >> so laminated glass is actually a fairly strong material. you know, again, if you hit it in the center, it is. it's a little weaker on the edges because what happens is it can kind of chip, and sometimes it will run, or whatever. so the edges -- because essentially you're talking about two pieces of eight inch glass. the edges are a little bit fragile. but, you know, that's what happens. essentially, you've got point of impact there, but it all stays together. and so in a quake or whatever, in an accident, auto glass, we used a lot of that in the auto industry, a lot of lamination. so this is what works pretty well for that. plastic, you know, plastic is easy. we're doing more complicated plastic, but great material, except scratches, it does all sorts of things, and it

but it's a standard.and it's clear, it's a bright line, you can follow it, and you can approximate fairness. and i think in the partisan gerrymandering arena we need to do the same thing. we're not going to find the perfect measure of what the balance should be or what data we should use but we should have a standard that's clear and implementable and use that, constrain what is happening. and i will say what i see in many states is the voting rights act is kind of being used to try to rein in partisan gerrymandering and that's not its purpose and it's not working very well. >> one of the difficulties of reform state by state is that you may get change in some states that do see an amount of partisan gerrymandering but its national net effects may be to work against the other part. it makes it exceedingly difficult to propose this with sort of good government perspective state by state because the fact is they're real curious ideological partisan interests that are shaped by all of this. david, do you agr

that is longer than the national quake resistant standard predicts. experts say high rise buildings may suffer structural damage in the future if a massive earthquake causees a complicated pattern of shaking. >> are there specific measures that can be taken against the shaking in very large earthquakes? >> construction companies in japan develop various type of equipment. on march 11, buildings with such systems don't sway very much. but controlled systems are expensive so only a few high rise buildings have installed them. following the march 1 17b8 quake, the japanese government started reviewing the quake resistant standard for high ride buildings. >> could similar shaking occur in other countries but have many high rise buildings like the united states? >> if a massive quake occurs, off the woest coast of the united states, super high rise buildings could sustain damage. to better prepare for future massive quakes, each country should complete the analysis of the damage by march 11th earthquake quickly and draw off measures against them. >> thank

the standard, she was proven found guilty of lying. the standard of proof was on the prosecution. and at every step of the way, we can go through all of it from the shovel to the smell in the car. it was either totally impeached or contradicted by the defense. in that sense, we still don't know how caylee died. we still don't know how the body was transported. we still don't know how it got there. they did not prove their case, judge. >> look, what you've got here is a case where a 2-year-old's body is found in a swamp, triple garbage bagged and thrown away as if it didn't matter at all. she did not commit suicide. she did not die of old age. she did not have a terminal illness. the question is, what happened to caylee? there's no question that now that the jury has made a decision, that this defendant is to be acquitted on all major counts, as it relates to the death of this child, that you are right, we will never know. let me tell you what happened here today. what happened is, in this csi age where everyone expects fingerprints, dna, in a case where there is no eyewitness, the

but we understand that the federal government who prom el gaits the license, which mandates standards and types of usage signs are installed throughout the country, is thinking about establishing some standards for reflectivity in the near future. it's an unfunded mandate, they usually allow several years for us to comply and we would normally do that over time as we do maintenance. one of the impediments is we do not have an up-to-date signed inventory system. the system that we have is carried over from public works and part of it used to be in public works. it's very good at tracking work orders and repairs, but it's not very adept at extracting information on inventory type of information, like how old is the sign, how many times it's been repaired. so we are aware of that. we have been investigating, working with the vendor to come up with a software package that will help us transform our existing data, migrate over to this new system, and then being able to use it to help us do exactly that purpose. once we have that online, we expect to have that in place by september, october

when it comes to israel there is a -- i call it a triple standard there is an acceptable double standard in international relations. one standard for the dictatorships and one for democracies. when it comes to israel there is a triple standard. there is a third standard for the democracy called israel. you never expect other democracies to accept what israel has gone through. can you imagine another democracy with 12,000 rockets pounded under cities and they are asked to take special care, special caution not to take action against the offending enemy's rocket tears. that's what israel does. it is a country half the size of belgium and new jersey. can you imagine they have 12,000 rockets pounding new jersey's cities? trenton, you know? where was frank sinatra born? >> hoboken. >> how did you know that? pretty good. no, i knew that. that was a trick question, but okay. so all of these cities are pummeled by rockets. what do you think the people of new jersey would do? they would do anything and do everything. >> it wouldn't take 12,000 rockets, mr. prime minister. i have been there and lo

are there cleanup standards? >> well, there are water quality standards that we have to get back to. those standards are also, i might add, mr. chairman, are standards that the state sets. >> correct. >> under their clean water act. under cleaning up oil, there are a number of observeible approaches you take including removal of the visible oil and the sheening on the water. >> i guess the question is we need to know what we're dealing with, here, which is what is the standard? people need to know what the standard is. >> well, you have drinking water standards. >> i'm just talking about the average guy along the river, he wants to know as he should, what's the standard by which e.p.a., the state, exxon, all related here, are cleaning my place up to? so how's he supposed to know? >> well, it will be water quality standards of the state of montana is what we will have made sure we've achieved. >> is that known what that is? >> i don't have that in front of me. but it should be known. >> it should be. >> well -- >>

that is a standard that the court did not need to articulate. in other cases the courts, other courts talk even about equal protection as a standard. the city of san francisco during the plague epidemic had the plan with the federal government to require everybody in china to get vaccinated against the black plague. the vaccine. and the one in federal court. the 14th amendment has this thing called the equal protection clause. is surely that applies. so anyway, it's interesting. the court give is, and the court take it away. my argument that both the power of government, police power, and individual liberty are being given strength by the judicial system. zero sum gain. >> high. prates talk. congratulations on the awards that you have one last month. i know it sounds really belated for me to be bringing this up now, but the last time i heard you speak was three months ago and when you spoke to my class. i heard you talk on national public radio in early april. one of the things that really interested me was your own personal story because you ha
