the navy and the regulatory agencies determined that all of the other parcels the navy still owns are safe in their current condition. that will be part of the entire development. as stated in our comment letter on which you all received a copy, we believe that the navy has quickly studied and understands the nature and extent of contamination and the range of alternatives are feasible and follow accepted scientific practice. we support the process by the navy and encourage the navy to give substantial consideration to the input that they receive from the public and from all stakeholders. thank you. >> once a site gets on the list, the national priority list epa is obligated to insure the investigation and clean up actions and long-term monitoring of human health and the environment. we monitor protectiveness of the clean up actions every step of the way. in accordance to the super fund law, the navy is the lead agency and e.p.a. is the lead regulatory agency to make sure that the navy is following the law and making sure that every action that the navy takes is protective of human he

the navy. that is how much that we know that we can trust them. i am so happy that you mentioned this. i was writing this down because they are showing this is 6 feet under. it does not take a rocket scientist to know about this. you know that this is constantly moving up. this is ridiculous. and i went a little bit over. thank you. i have not been here for a long time. i just want that 30 seconds to say, continued that resolution that would put the number to alternative at harm, and insist that this is what the navy does, as well as -- thank you. >> next up is harrison. and then, mrs. donohue. >> i am here with our people organized for employment rights. we have been involved with this issue for a long time. i think this is minimizing when the navy talks about the paint that glows in the dark. it would not cost $350 million if this is all that we have. the importance of what is before you today is that this is a remedial. the second was to completely remove this. what we say is that remedial a

the navy is responsible for clearing this up. and also, will look at the lists of things to consider, we have to consider the long-term health interests of the community. this has cost insurance but this is the most important. the community is not engaged in this process. thank you. >> this is maria harrison? >> i am here for health and environmental justice, representing the many members of bayview-hunters point. this body indicated that capt. would not be the alternative. but you are here with this notion -- and i really hate to do this by would like to draw your attention to the other areas, midway village in particular, and for every eight -- eight years, they have had to do this over and over. and they have the plastic and all of those wonderful things that we are hearing about. this is midway village of los geneva. this is very close but one thing i would really like for you to consider, in the pass years we have come before you and we have said that people first -- we are the constituents that you were put here to represent

they read you what the navy has given them. this is not satisfactory to the community and it should not be satisfactory to you. i realize if i keep on eye will preach to a sermon. >> next, we have mrs. donohue. >> good afternoon. i live a half blocks from the shipyard, and i have been before the board of supervisors many times. but i would just urge for you to please, we need a complete cleaning of the shipyard. i know people that have died, three children have died here. my daughter -- daughter-in-law died in 2005, 28 years old and i was right there when they brought the navy and -- into our community. when they let them in the community over all of us, and our children. we were having headaches. they do not know what is going on. i was having headaches. i would stand before you and like the one time -- the health department can sit here but they have not spent one night there, and they have not been knocking on one door, to assess the people. how can they say that we are okay? thank you. >> i live in the bay view area. i was l

we regret we monitor the navy cleanup activities. we maintain and reviewed data from all of the regulatory agencies. we oppose this information on our website and update the web site at least once per month. the website is public and working, and the public should have access to this information. in addition, we go to man the public meetings and hearings whenever requested. we disseminate information through community-based organizations. the recommendation -- one of the recommendations requested us to review the navy's clean-up plans for parcel e2. there are several alternative plans. we have reviewed each alternative plan and provided a copy of the letter that we sent to the navy regarding the review. basically we reviewed those plans with regards to the technical completeness of the analysis and the appropriateness of the mitigation procedures to protect public health. we have done that. we're not taking as a department policy position as to which alternative to pursue. we support the navy and community in a public process to decid

i work for the navy. i am the project manager for parcel e-2, the portion of the ship yard that i am going to talk about today. i will answer clarifying questions about the proposed remedy. ok. the clean up process is where we are today. we are in the public comment period that began september 7th. >> please continue. >> ok. we are in the proposed plan, if you have the slides in front of you, i am on slide 3. the clean up process starts with the preliminary assessment and then the investigation phase for the site and then we go into the proposed plan public comment period. that is where we are now. september 7-november 21. i am here today to talk on behalf of the navy how the navy is proposing to remediate or clean up parcel e-2. to reiterate i have brought comment cards for the public so they can submit public comments. we do require written comments and they need to be postmarked by the 5th of november. what happens after the comment period, the document will tell what -- how we have decided to remediate

the marines, navy, and coast guard. they are working with us to celebrate the tradition and recognize persons in uniform. we're doing something very special that i continue to credit the general 4. we wanted to make sure fleet week touches all the citizens of san francisco. we have found a way to do that. one of the most important things we are doing in our city is getting better prepared for the next disaster. as we do that, we recognize the military is the expert. in recognizing their expertise and humanitarian assistance around the world, we can built upon all of that. it should not surprise you that the theme this of fleet week hae evolved into disaster preparedness. it is not if. it is when. it is prudent for us to make sure that fleet week addsin the serious work of relationship building and exercises, anticipation of information sharing, and movement of personnel and supplies, and practice those things with all of our different departments. i want to thank you, general, for leading that effort. i want to thank the

i didn't serve in the navy. i was a civil servant. i started working for the department of the navy as a mathematician, ballistics analyst. i am grateful for the opportunity that the government gave me to assist me in getting my graduate education with the graduate fellowship program that they had. i am grateful for this government for passing the civil rights act of 1964, the voting rights act of 1965. and i might point out that democrats alone did not pass those two pieces of legislation. in fact, if you look at the record, a larger percentage of republicans voted for it than the percentage of democrats in 1964 and in 1965. i am grateful for the united states of america being a nation that can change because in our short 235-year history it is our ability to change that has allowed us to become a great nation. i am grateful that i have been able to achieve my american dreams in this great nation, which is why i'm running for president of the united states, because i want to make sure that my children and my grandchildren and all of t

secretary of the air force for environment and logistics, thomas hicks, the deputy secretary of the navy for energy and dorothy robien, the undersecretary of defense for the environment. ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> dorothy, i'd like to start with you. for generations -- and then have all of you guys take a crack at the same question. for generations the u.s. has looked at the energy as a limitless limitless commodity. general martin dempsey said that has to change, there is an imperative greater need for the fuel and martin dempsey hosted an energy roundtable where you guys all participated to focus the department's attention on this issue. what are some of the concrete steps that have been taken over the past couple of years to change the energy and how the department thinks about energy? >> i think the first thing has been a recognition that it is critical to our ability to fight wars effectively, to be more energy efficient, so the change in the culture has been fundamental and that's really, i think, been driven largely by the recognition

area who are in the navy, and we want you to feel very welcome here. so i would love to see any kind of expanded activity around fleet week, whether it is just recalling the history of the nave -- navy in the bay area or whether it is being prepared and maybe doing tabletop arraus potential future scenarios. >> it is interesting that you ask that question, because right before i left, some said, where are you going, and i said that i would be at fleet week it would be on the panel for disaster preparedness, and that looked at me like -- what? you do not realize, but it is not the local statistics, our federal government. it is our military as well that will help us in the time of disaster. we have our partners around the bay, but we also have a military that will lead to step in. we're going to qualify them in a major disaster. we're going to collaborate and talk today about these different issues and how they can work with us on all those levels of disasters. they come up to me and say, wow people do not understand that relationship, i think. we recogn

. >> next, eric greitens talks about joining the navy seals after doing humanitarian work and earning a ph.d. from oxford university. it's about an hour. >> well, good afternoon, everybody. and if you read the book, then i'm the guy that put on his helmet quick enough when the bomb went off, and i was standing next to eric, so that's my claim to fame. [laughter] actually, the only reason i really came here is i wanted to get a free autographed copy of the book, so eric promised me he'd give me one. [laughter] actually, i was lucky enough to serve with eric over in fallujah area and along with a lot of other great people, one of whom i'll mention in a minute. i know eric's biography, some of you probably read the back jacket of the book. you know eric's smart. duke, you know, accomplished boxer at duke, he's a rhodes scholar then becomes a navy seal. published one book, his humanitarian works. most of us were just hanging out looking for the next party, eric was actually already all over the world. so way smarter than me, way better looking than me -- [laughter] all that good stuff. bu

i was yesterday at a land use meeting where the navy gave a presentation, the united states navy gave a presentation where they are talking about a very, very contaminated area that they desire to tap. that means to put a 2 inch plastic and put some dirt over it. this is for your information. some of view are old enough to know about midway village by geneva. i see one person nodding. hopefully this information can be given to the commissioners. they went ahead and cap them arianna and are having a lot of issues with that, with people getting cancer. the reason why i am relating what i am relating is because the hunters point area -- put that infrastructure that taps into our other main system when they chop off 35 feet -- today, i get reports about high incidence and i will be making it a point to send you some of the things so you can inform the other commissioners. i am connecting the dots. you heard a general report, but we need to inform our young people what is happening in that community. they are the ones who are going to live there in the future. when you reach a certain age,

first of all, let's thank the u.s. navy for bringing this beautiful ship to san francisco and once again participating in fleet week. a tradition that i can remember, having been born and raised in san francisco, having the opportunity to be around the navy and the personnel that make this work, also allowing this intimate setting for this particular group. let me introduce, very briefly, our panel. we have a long day. first of all, on my far left, we have a young woman who was recently on television with me. the vice president of the san mateo board of supervisors. baez to have you here, adrian. thank you very much. next, capt. cynthia stone is here. she is captain of the port. i would say that that is a vitally important part of our community. no question about it. next, mayor quam, of oakland. congratulations to you, mayor, for your current operation. also, oakland has been involved in a number of different activities. the oakland hills fire was a local disaster that i am sure we remember with regret. myself, i walked on

that's more than double the figures ten years ago. china's navy has begun conducting drills on coastal waters in the east and south china seas and pacific ocean. china is aiming to secure sea lanes which are vital for economic growth. they also say china is trying to protect marine resources, including natural gas. the increased maneuvers have been causing friction between china's and japan's self defense force. japanese destroirs and chinese aircraft came dangerously close in the east china sea. five such cases in the past 18 months. against this backdrop, the self defense forces are strengthening their fleet and stepping up collaboration with the u.s. navy. japan and u.s. have staged several drills in the waters near okinawa. two long time allies are uniting to face the challenge of china's power. >>> we have some background on the stand off between japan and china. >> what is the reason behind the naval expansion by china? >> translator: with its economy growing, china was able to allocate larger budget for the navy. it is believed china is doi

in the navy. the simpson can breathe a sigh of relief. it will be here to stay for two years and fox settled a contract dispute with the show's voice cast. back to you. >> thank you very much and moving along. investigators are back in a kansas city landfall and looking for clues in the disappearance of 10 month old lisa irwin. her partners claim she was snatched from the miss missouri home in the middle of the night. questions remain in their role in the investigation . julie bandaras has more on the case and a fox news interview. >> baby lisa irwin's parents say she was snatched from the crib monday night or tuesday. the mother of the 10 month old said police told her said she failed the lie detector test and accused her of being involved . the police never showed her the results and denied it. police say the test was not necessary for him. they are not commenting on the investigation. there you are looking at video of the land fill. they have searched the land fill twice and not commenting on wh

that in your first few months in the navy you will have zero minutes per day of privacy. [laughter] and, they said, the deal is the minute that you sign up on the dotted line, you're going to owe us eight years of service, at least four years active duty and four years in the reserve. they said, in return for that what we'll do is we'll give you one and only one chance at basic underwater demolition seal training. they said, if you make it through that training, you'll be on your way to being a navy seal. they said, but if you fail that training -- as over 80% of the candidates do -- you're still going to owe us eight years, and we're going to tell you where and how you're going to serve. now, it's not a very enticing recruiting pitch, right? [laughter] but i remember, actually, i went to an event at rhodes house, and rhodes house is kind of this really fancy mansion on the oxford university campus, and i remember as i walked into rhodes house, walked into the marble foyer, i remember looking up and seeing the names of rhodes scholars who had left oxford in world war ii to

in many respects it should be a milestone year for the navy at least in one aspect. ou will probably hear from me about we are at two a year production the first time in twenty-two years. we are doing again full startup of our and the for the replacement program but this is progress that could be challenged if the sequestration goes into effect. if you could talk about mr. forbes's comment on the impact on fleet size and capability. >> it is an important point because the navy we reset in stride. we deployed in effect over half of our forces are underway. ships and submarines on a given day, 40% are deployed. the demand for those forces is going up so we don't have the luxury of taking them off line for prolonged periods of time. the maintenance money we have when we bring home for their turn around is essential to sustain that force and reset it and prepare to go both the amphibious lift for the marines as well as aircraft carriers, submarines and surface ships. we have watched the trend in readiness operating within acceptable levels but there is a negative trend ov

navy is in business. they get the ball back with just two minutes to play. second play of that drive, navy quarterback chris drops back. he eludes tackles. he is off and running. check out the spin move, right here. come on -- there he goes. spin move, out of the way. breaking tackles. 27 yards, down to the air force 26. midshipman are pumped. they use their air force, use green. makes the catch for the touchdown. 28-26. midshipman, the two-point conversion. procter runs out. and he just gets in. check out the navy sideline. they are pumped up. we're all tied at 28. this one's going into o.t. procter punches it in from just a yard out. navy up 34-28. that's the good news. but check this out. this is the bad news. procter goes to the sidelines, he says a few choice words to air force and they get flagged. it's blocked. now air force needs a touchdown and a p.a.t. to win the game. here we go. air force does the first part. they punch it in. jefferson gets in on third and goal. we're all tied at 34. here's the extra point. it's up. and good. air force steals one
