a leader in that statistical revision by the way it is christina romer. she has never been a tea party year. ier. the older statistics were biased as the only included a few commodities series. today, we measure more widely. when we had just the statistics to take account of that, the pre-fed period looks more stable. we don't see any improvement even though today the economy is much better diversified and muslim -- much less agricultural barrett we should expect to improve stability even if the fed had no effect for the fed has done worse than have no effect. the fed had naturally more stable economy to deal with the matter is watch, the economy has been less stable because they have tried to do too much with monetary policy. fine-tuning has turned out to be destabilizing in practice. we can try measuring stability by looking at the frequency and length of recessions. if you look at the old free sessions using the new statistics as christina romer reported in 1999, the average length of recessions is one month longer in the post-world war two era than be

i have some crime statistics. crimes were down 8.3% year-to- date. there were 3200 if you were part one crimes. the breakdown is 4% reduction in violent crime and 9% reduction of other crimes. homicides are 44, and we were at 44 this time last year. if you need any additional further breakdown, i can provide that as well. president mazzucco: any additional questions? commissioner hammer: i am not sure if this is the right time to talk about it, but you had a discussion about updating the general order and vehicles. we were privy to the documents and the city attorney had been working and we had this conversation for months. i am just wondering, president mazzucco, if we are continuing this to the next meeting to get an update? it seems to go week to week, and it is something that is important for our officers and citizens. president mazzucco: i agree, i had a conversation with our chief earlier today before boarding his flight, and we received information with input from the chief credit we need to calendar this for the next meeting. what we need to

hundred and sixty thousand school children this is really a lot and this is just off the shelf statistics we really should wish to speak out about this in some cases i remember i remember i was talking to some people i was talking to journalists and they said this is a difficult subject it's better not to discuss it because this will feel depressed people in the film life is so hard in the if we start talking about drug addicts well i think this is we inherited this from the soviet period we used to say. we don't have a problem with drugs. people still have the stereotype no we should speak out about that and you but because that's just the external side of the problem now concerning the treatment i'm not a specialist there are all kinds of methods used and these methods should be legitimate of course. corey sion to hear is wrong people are indignant over it but at the same time. the issue of the free will the issue off the choice i think the decision has to be made by the drug addict or maybe his relatives in some cases confirmation there is no other chance to help this person so the dil
