of these tools. are they saying anything to the companies? are they expressing concern about who else is being sold these technologies and trying to exercise some kind of influence through their buying power? we are only going to buy products for people who said certain standards of the dish they could have standards for their vendors. if you are a vendor on surveillance and security technology we need to know certain things about what you are doing and we will report that publicly. they could do that if they wanted to and that would have a huge effect. there is a lot that could be done that would at least shed light on what is happening. these companies are not consumer products, if the broader investor market if this information is more regularly in the wall street journal which it has begun to be but before then it really wasn't. >> the face of activism has been morphing a lot. digital activism has been in fluent with the occupy movement and most of their movements from here on out. of fundamental

when you have tools, matt advocating know your customer standards. but to be transparent what they're selling and what it is used for. that is our position at the moment. i have seen other proposals that deal with other ways to handle it. but altmann may but without the shareholders. >> we are seeing it socially responsible busters move to this sector. but in terms of the downside, there are some companies not to invest with. a lot of it is greater awareness. some have been getting away with it. for a very long time there has not been a lot of reporting on these issues. also the u.s. government and in the mass of customers of these tools are they expressing concern you are sold the technologies to exercise some kind of influence with buying power? only buying from those who set certain standards of those who they work with? and reporting requirements? they could have standards for vendors. if you are a vendor on surveillance technology we have to know what you're doing. there is a lot that would shed light they are not consumer products. if this is m

we're talking about the right tools now. but in the same time your question about the growth in our human resource investments for the department. we trained nearly 300,000 of our workers, many of whom have never been trained, on their job so they can produce what they expect and that they can leverage these tools when they arrive. >> thank you, senator burr. i would just like to first start by saying thank you to you and to chairman murray and your leadership and the members of this team -- this committee for an unprecedented level of increases, budget increases that vba has enjoyed in the last three years. i think we need to kind of put that in a little context. that 36% was used to tackle a 48% increase in claims over the same period of time. and that was to support nearly 12 million service members, veterans, their families, and survivors. and that's including a net increase in the last year of half a million new veterans to our rolls that did not exist and are using our benefits and services. so we did also for the seco

in our tool kit. there are issues with oversaturation. it is not about safe or unsafe or not providing access. there is an issue in a neighborhood, we hear this all the time. people want to do a coffee shop or drug store. it could be a number of things. we already have a lot of that. we need a hardware store or a gym. it is something that we struggle with because we do not have a lot of tools to make that happen. the thing is, i do believe and we have not, in our current tool kit, we do not have oversaturation as an issue. i think that is something we should all struggled with that should be looked at. we recognize the challenge of 1,000 feet in a dense city, there are not a whole lot of locations where that would necessarily fit into. anyones that have come before us, based on what the applicant has argued, would be safe because they meet the threshold and have been approved. that has been in place. in what is different in this case is that we respect what neighborhoods talk about, even if they do no

those are two tools which i think i have been very effective. it took us three months to get there. i think we need to look at a great tool that gives us a swift ability to shut them down when they're that bad. we still have a gap to get us there. we're still short. the gentleman's time has expired. >> thank you. i've been serving on this committee for 36 years trying to make safety a more important issue for our miners. when i came on this committee, carl perkins was chairman of this committee. we had a meeting on mine safety. i was shocked 33 years later on what's happening. i can recall one of the representatives of the mine owners testified how safe and how safety was such a high priority. the person went so far, carl perkins was such a kind and gentle person finally said, when i was a child my daddy put me on the back of a buck board and took me over to the next town for the funeral of my cousin who was killed with others in one of your mines. that's 36 years later. and i feel that we should have made much more progress. in 36 years, we fought wars in that time. we spend money

the tools just aren't that accurate. that's the issue we have today. >> i applaud your work. obviously, this is a great interest of mine. i think, obviously, being able to screen people so you have a comparison of the individual to that same individual as opposed to a shock then approach for these criteria is going to be really important. i know you know that as well. again, general, thanks for getting up early with us this morning. really appreciate your time. >> thank you. >>> now, of course, brain trauma isn't just confined to the battlefield. up next, we'll introduce you to a woman whose life changed in an instant who was whacked by a car while riding a bike. outdoors, or in. transitions® lenses automatically filter just the right amount of light. so you see everything the way it is meant to be seen. maybe even a little better. experience life well lit, ask for transitions adaptive lenses. in your breakfast cereal, what is? now, in every box of general mills big g cereal, there's more whole grain than any other ingre

so those tools remain very much on the table, and we will not hesitate to use them should the economy require that additional support. >> mr. chairman, from the "wall street journal." the fed has been forecasting for some time that inflation would fall to 2% or below. the latest measures of inflation suggest that the core pc is at the higher end of that range and many other measures are above 2%. i noticed that in your forecast today that the upper end of your forecast, all the way through 2014 have increased. do you see a risk that the disinflationary forces in the economy might not be as strong as the fed had been projecting for some time? >> well, i would just say first that our projections still have inflation very close to our 2% target. as you point out, core inflation and some other measures of underlying inflation had been a little stronger than expected, but i would say first that some of the movement in the first quarter, for example, seems to have come from transitory sources like non-market components, and the fundamentals of inflation, in particular inflation expectations

, tools used by people here and used by police and people in other countries come so tools i would callor the most part collectively neutral and some of it has also gone towards training and then of course we have also seen a lot of contention over with the money is going to and what they are effective for safe and who they are targeting so there's been a lot of back-and-forth in washington over specific tools and i won't get into that but the broad answer i think is the have been incredibly useful enabling the safety of activists in a number of countries all over -- and in that sense they are wonderful but where that money is coming i haven't seen a whole lot of output, i haven't seen a lot of -- i'm trying to couch this language but i just haven't seen proof that the money has gone to the right place and is making a difference. so it is wonderful, don't get me wrong. they do have people get around censorship in a number of places but they are not a silver bullet and i personally believe that that type of funding and generally speaking those efforts need to be diversified and i don't t

it is a great tool. underutilized by our physicians. house bill 93 required physicians treating pain management to utilize it. but as the, as the, exactly as you have alluded to as we have success in law enforcement. we are squeezing the balloon. people are moving to other states. and what's happened, the, the three states represented here today have all worked wonderfully together to tackle this issue. and to share that information and investigations. >> in deference to time. i think you are great models. i just want to see it replicated in all 50 states. can't have you operating independently. thank you, yield back my time. >> thank you, doctor, you are roitsz ed recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. first, mike ross and i, hr 4095, stop online pharmacy safety act which attempts to -- close down or at least prevent the publicizing of the rogue pharmacie pharmacies. so, hopefully we'll get co-sponsors on this. secondly, mr. ronazzi. man, with the databases y'all have, if we gave them to google. i have no doubt that go

tools. your need in the neighborhood for a black smith to keep you working to rebuild your axes and increasingly by the 1800s, the time we show here, black smiths repairmen. they are fixing the axes in the 1600s and 1700s. by the 1800s, people are specializing with the industrial revolution. specializing in making things like axes and plows and other tools. and then your neighborhood blacksmith is more the repairman that keeps you in business by fixing those tools. >> the orange flames indicate that it's a cleaner fire than the yellow flames. the refined form of that pit coal like the refined form of wood is charcoal. i make coke out of my goal. coal. so that i can get my metal hot enough to be soft enough to hammer on. and i don't have to hit it hard when it's hot because it's softer. it's basically just a matter of dropping my hammer on to the metal. >> the mills are the last mills to come along at the end of the 1700s. they're the first to disappear. in this area the cattle mills started

stronger set of financial tools. stronger firewall to fit the combined force of the ucb and what the governments put together in terms of these funds. better tools and they have governments that are doing some very tough things in the reform side. and i think the governments of europe are helping support the reforms have a lot more confidence in governments of spain, italy, what they're trying to do, which is good. very important to get that balance right between just to say a more simply growth and austerity, and what you want to do is avoid a situation where since there's a risk of a prolonged period of economic disappointment and weakness on the growth side in many of those countries, want to avoid getting into a situation where since economic weakness produces in the short term larger deficits than you'd hoped for, you don't want to have to offset that increase in the deficits with immediate difficult cuts in spending or taxes right away. the best way to do it is to respond to those with some gradually phased in

, it's the principal tool. congress identified it as an essential tool. it's not just a tool to make it work. it's a tool to pay for it, to make it affordable. and again, that's not my characterization, that's congress's characterization in subfinding i on page 43a of the government's brief. now, that bring me to my first point in rebuttal, which is mr. kneedler says, quite correctly tells this court don't look at the budgetary implications. well, the problem with that, though, is once it's common ground that the individual mandate is in the statute at least in part to make community rating and guaranteed-issue affordable, that really is all you have to identify. that establishes the essential link that it's there to pay for it. you don't have to figure out exactly how much that is and which box -- i mean, it clearly is a substantial part of it, because what they were trying to do is take healthy individuals and put them into the risk pool, and this is quoting their finding, which is in order -- they put people

for applying your enforcement tools. and that you report employee grievances by division. this was supposed to be reported but was not reported in the most recent year. we think that is important as a management tool to understand where employee grievances are surfacing, so in summary, performance was mixed, but there was improvement in key areas of most interest to ridership, and we are making recommendations to make reporting more timely and relevant to your customers and useful as a management tool. i will be happy to take your questions either now or after a presentation by travis. chairman brinkman: thank you. questions? great. mr.? >> all right, we are going to move fast and furious here with the volume of information. i will speak briefly to some of the highlights of the first and second-quarter service standards for fiscal year 2012. if given the limited time, i will focus on some metrics and move on. fiscal years 2013 and 2014. as always, with on-time performance is where we start. on a quarterly basis, this deb

you say you have additional tools available for you to use but you are not using them right now. under these circumstances it is hard for people to understand why you are not using those tools right now. could you address that and specifically could you address whether your current views are inconsistent with the views on that subject that you held as an academic? >> let me tackle that second part first. so there's this view circulating that the views i expressed about 15 years ago on the bank of japan are somehow inconsistent with our current policies. that is absolutely incorrect. my views and policies are completely consistent with the views that i held at that time. i made two points at that time to the bank of japan. the first was that i believe that a determined central bank could and should work to eliminate deflation. that is falling prices. the second point that i made was that when short term interest rates hit zero the tools of a central bank are not exhausted. there are still other things that central bank can do to create additional accommodation. looking at the curr

, the trade man's tools. so offer needing the black smith to keep you working. to build your axes, increasingly by the 1800s, black smiths are repairment. they're fixing plows and changes and schools and saxes. back in the 16 and 1700s, they're doing more of the making of those implements. by the 1800s you have people specializing in making things like axes and plows and other tools and then your neighborhood black smith is mort repairman that keeps new business by fixing those tools. >> the blue flames indicate that it's a cleaner fire than the yellow flames. the yellow flames along the end mean that i'm cooking off the impurities in the coal, called coke, which is the relining form of they'll boll like the reformed form of wood -- i make coke out of my coal so that i can get my metal hot enough to be soft enough to hammer on. and i don't have to hit it hard when it's hot because it's softer. and it's basically just a matter of dropping my hammer onto the metal. >> mills are the last water powered mills to c

if there are any program issues we identified in the process, we have a correction action tool that we used to share with the nonprofits that these are concerned we have. in situations where it is a repeat offense, we initiate a more aggressive process to work with the executive director as well as the board presidents and members, to figure out a way to resolve that issue. if it is a first-time offense, it is generally handled through our program officer and goes through a longer procedure. >> do you have a way for the community and neighborhood to communicate with you and let you know when they have identified the problem, a way to investigate and address concerns from the neighborhood in which your program operates in, the populations who are serving? >> yes. all city departments are part of the whistleblower programs. any resident of san francisco that has any concerns around the program or anything else can call 311 and say they want to issue a whistle-blower complaint. when that complaint comes through, the whistleblower office would contact us to follow up on the complaint. once

the tool of choice for this agency was the 104 d orders. which allowed them to quickly go in -- this is a company that didn't pay their fines. fine them $1 million a day, by the way, one while running off of upper big branch in a shift produced about $700,000. it's a $2 million a day. this was a company that did not pay its fines. this is a company that challenged the law. >> that's my point. if you know this is going on and they have habitually do this, you have to go to somebody up the ladder and say we've got to stop this. this is a bad actor that we've got to take out. >> today we've instituted a number of tolls to target that. we're not there yet. the tools these impact inspections to deal with mine operators before they

, which is the fdic's tool and the federal reserve is working close to the fdic there. the idea is to apply the same kind of bank resolution tools that the fdic has used many years on domestic banks to large complex financial firms. obviously the complexity makes that a much more challenges task, but i think we're making progress there. we have put out rules about so-called living wills, which would require large financial firms to, who essentially plan out how they would be disassembled, and we've continued to talk with international colleagues about how we would cooperate if a multi-national firm had to be put into receivership. and indeed, part of the reason that there's been some down grade or potential downgrade for some u.s. financial citizeinstis is the judging of the ratings agencies that these institutions has is less than in the past. and so i think ultimately what we'll need to have is a situation where large firms are both making judgments about their size and complexity based only on the economic benefits and costs and not on too big to fail considerations,

in the past, this bill will permit people until agriculture to establish their own risk-management tools rather than having to rely on the good will of the government to bail them out at times that they have faced a downturn in their agricultural efforts. and while the u.s. agriculture has been one of the bright spots in the economy throughout the economic downturn, farming and ranching are still, as noted, inherently risky undertakings from volatile markets to the whims of mother nature. i'm also pleased with the components of the agriculture risk coverage arp. while crop insurance should be the focal point of an agricultural safety net, i'm glad the committee recognized the need to provide producers with complementary risk-management tools to help myth gait the risks inherent in the commodity markets to help farmers adjust to lower commodity prices while input prices are likely to remain high. beyond the broader reduction of agriculture provisions, i'm glad the committee has recognized the unique roles, conservation and rural development play in rural communities and the benefits they

you tube works together with these real time tools of twitter and facebook and this awareness of how to create these snowball facts you know well that's i can tell you that's very very knowledgeable you know that's valuable knowledge yeah don't you worry tears in her ears then i can really do a lot of money ok i mean the thing is i worry about is that ok i think giving attention to the children of uganda is an honorable thing even though it was done badly ok but not they're not people are not always so honorable we could use the same kind of technique for some very negative things also and i'm thinking of like the right wing in the united states or right wing in europe we can have this happen as well where you have fascism with a smile ok and i worry about that kind of thing too alex are you agreeing or disagreeing with me you know you're going to let me go to know your i mean agreeing i just i'm not sure the. exactly i am agreeing but isn't that the current situation. right now we have that and i just read this and i said i want to mislead you would be have some ability ok i want to

i carry different tools for different jobs. why do you keep asking the same questions again and again ? i was just on the phone with someone who claims to work with mrs. jibali. - el-bially. - what ? - we have different last names. - whatever. anyway, they're trying to find her now. can i see jamal now ? who ? i'm here to see jamal al-jibali. i'm victor brashov his employer. he is being questioned. why ? he's a possible suspect. you do not know jamal. i would swear my life on his good name. i appreciate what you are saying. have a seat and relax. jamal is not a criminal. have a seat, or you'll have to wait outside. who is still booking for us ? thanks. good-bye. henry, that's the fifth call you've made in the past half hour. - what is going on ? - new girlfriend ? - my grandparents are missing. - what ? - they never made it to the senior center. - oh, no ! - this is all my fault. - it's not your fault. - i'm sure they'll turn up. - they'd better. i told my mother they would be here. - henry ! - i know. i know. i'm going to try

well what we see here is did not criticize asian of the knowledge you know how to utilize these tools and if connie twenty twelve show something you know we could narrow it down to you know a campaign that's been very very carefully orchestrated designed and branded but you know it worked because they understood how. you tube works together with these real time tools of twitter and facebook and this awareness of how to create these snowball facts you know well that's i can tell you that's a very very knowledgeable you know that's valuable knowledge yeah don't you worry dear sir you are here so then i think you can really they a lot of money and that's ok and i mean as i worry about is it ok i think giving attention to the children of uganda is an honorable thing even though it was done badly ok but not they're not people are not always so honorable we could use the same kind of technique for some very negative things also and i'm thinking of like the right wing in the united states the right wing in europe we can have this happen as well where you have fascism with a smile ok and i wo

and they are using these tools like you know are second nature ok but i mean i want to we have these all these millions of young people young people involved in this they buy a bracelet right i mean again it goes back to this kind of commodification because it's hard for me to believe that a lot of teenagers understood the nuances of uganda. right but no he didn't understand the nuances of you see i'm going to war you better i mean that's. going to and i agree i mean you know. i mean there's something based a lot of these young people a mom what ninety nine point nine percent of these young people have never been to uganda alex keep going. yeah and so i you know even that step that awareness is important and again you know it's i think it's unfair to say that simply because they are becoming involved in a small way that doesn't count and so i think that the pejorative so activism is unfair and i think that again that one percent of one hundred million is an important one percent it's something that people are aware about and are willing to take action on beyond that so yes we can dis

msha needed to do a bet are job with the tool it had and massey exploited msha's weaknesses and those in the law and hurt their workers. the law should have been much stronger, because that is what it takes when an operator has little or no regard for their workers. we are prepared to work with our colleagues to enact meaningful reform so that we can honor mr. longal plea and the lives of our country's miners, because, mr. chairman, the blood spilled by these miners must not be in vain, and it must not be forgotten, and we must protect all miners from the errors that led to the ubb disaster. mr. chairman, in closing, i want to welcome our witnesses that will be here today, and joe main. as well as the others who have a lot invested and are getting this right. i yield back. >> thank you, gentle lady. all can submit written statements to be included in the record. the hearing record remains open 14 days to allow statements, questions to the record and other material reference the during the hearing, submitted in the official record. let me add my welcome today to our colleagues from wes

they have put in place a stronger set of tools for managing this crisis, stronger set of financial tools, stronger firewall if you look at the combined force of the ecb and what the government's put together in terms of these funds. better stool tools -- tools, and they have governments that are doing some very tough things on the reform side, and i think the governments of europe who are helping support those reforms have a lot more confidence in the governments of, for example, spain and italy, which is good. but very important to get that balance right between just to say it more simply, growth and austerity. and you what you want to do is avoid a situation where since there's a risk of a prolonged period of economic disappointment and weakness on the growth side in many of those countries, you want to avoid getting in a situation where since economic weakness produces in the short term larger deficits than you'd hope for, you don't want to offset that increase in the deficits with immediate, difficult cuts in spending or taxes right away. the best way to do it is to respond to those

we can all leverage these tools together. so right now, in this room, we're calling on the power of american women for real economic and health justice for all in the 2012 election. i want to say that i want everybody here to leave the room knowing that you can be a media outlet. for the first time in history, you can be your own media outlet. and i want everyone in this room to remember that some elections, particularly local elections, are won or lost by fewer votes than the average person has friends on facebook. every vote matters. we in this room can bring women's voices forward. we can end discrimination against women and mothers, and have an impact, a significant impact on the outcome of the 2012 election at all levels. it's not time to roll back women's rights, as some are sedging, not naming any names. it's most certainly not time to sideline women. we don't want to be on the sidelines anymore and we're not. it's time to roll forward and candidates need to take note that we are rolling forward, we're off the sideline
