units. matter of fact, sometimes the prices go up because of this. that has not been the case. president olague: thank you. >> hi, i am pam squires, and i am supportive of the 16 units of affordable housing at the edward. i am here today to speak to you about the outrageous cost disparity between our construction project at 3190 scott street and the proposed edward remodel. i have these to hand out. the cost per square foot of the 3190 scott street is $285. the proposed cost of the word is $1120 per square foot. that is not monopoly money. this is real taxpayer dollars. my money and your money. we should really take a close look at this. the edward costs are four times that of a luxury building directly across the street at 3190 scott street, and the etter -- and the edward is one- quarter the size. it has 25 bedrooms, ours has 24. we have to dozens were feet of open space, they have none, we have parking, they have none. this is my issue, the cost. i am all for it, but i am finished playing

russia is not the united states. is never going to present to be the united states. the russian empire and the soviet union were not accidental. it bound together economically and politically regions that had a mutual dependence your division of the liberals in russia and the united states was that following the fall of the soviet union they would reorient themselves towards europe, the united states. they fail to understand that these countries cannot compete in any reasonable time frame in europe, the more dependent they became on your of the week became. and also russia as a geopolitical entity. it experienced some terrible wars in its history, and its extremist cautious about expansion of things like nato. it regards made as a military alliance. we regard it as a club of nice people are fairly mismatched about what it is. and as the united states moved into the balkans and nato moved into the baltics, as the orange revolution, the ukraine took off, as the united states became very influential in central asia, the russian saw a second encirclement taking place. so

difference does it make to the united states? >> well, what difference it would make to the united states is obviously if there was a peaceful transition and a coalition of groups came forward an opposition came forward working with each other to put together a transition to a responsive and non-repressive government, that would be a positive thing for the united states. interesting there is the opposition is beginning to kohl together. very difficult for oppositions to arise these places and it's really been amazing if you think about it. in libya, for example, the opposition, the t.n.c., has come together in a place-- and i've reflected on this-- where for 40 years there was no civil society. qaddafi and his crowd crushed everybody. >> rose: it was a tribal nation. >> b they've come together and presented themselves to e world. syria, we'd like to see the same thg, an opposition come together. they he a meeting outside syria and in istanbul last week that president erdogan and the turks-- the turks--osted. >> rose: right. are t

bottom line, we have a project building with 18 units where two of the units have been units.ike to get them sold and occupied as quickly as possible and most of the other units have been sold and occupied. having the two b.m.r. units as rental units, i want the rest of the building is for sale,xd reay doesn't match today with a lot of things, doesn't match with policies or the code or the palmer circumstances so you have in your packets a couple of letters from shandra akins from the mayor's office of housing supporting our request and indicating their preference that these units be sold. so we're simply just asking amendment to those couple conditions that they relate to the rental restriction and allow us to sell the on-site units as quickly as possible. so i'd be happy to answer any questions you have and i want to thank you for your attention not only today but also for the past seven years as this is my last thyme -- time i'm before you as i'm moving back to my native country. i appreciate the many hearings i've been here. thank you so much. president olague: is there an

20 units. so we recognize that, but we were guided by the work of the transition youth task force which told us that big projects don't really work for this population. so we really did intend to support projects that were smaller and more suitable for young adults. the proposal that's been put forth today to reduce the number of units would make this expensive project more expensive in a number of ways. and without boring you too much, i'll just explain a couple of aspects of that. first of all, they've already secured about $4 million in funding from the state. for this project. which is great. they're a very competitive program that's now basically going away. so this was an opportunity of a lifetime for them. they brought the money in. that funding will be reduced if they reduce units. we'll lose about $1s.5 million of that. we may lose it all, because there may be a threshold under their new regulation that is we can't meet. we will also lose what you've heard discussion of, the tax credit

is not very well liked in the united states either right now. and that always has to do with how perceptions are being managed or are being stated. if you, if news daily is that pakistan is the source of trouble for american forces in afghanistan, that without the detail of what the context is if it is said that, you know, the u.s. asked pakistan to do x, y, z and pakistan refused, etc., the ordinary guy in mobile is not really an expert on foreign policy. although there are those who would argue there aren't many experts inside the beltway either -- [laughter] but the poor guy in mobile, alabama, is catching that 30-second sound bite on radio as he's driving home from his job, and he hears something negative about pakistan, that's how his perception is being created. in pakistan the reverse is happening. and the u.s. made a huge mistake several years ago when you shut down your united states information agency which was a huge public diplomacy operation which, basically, was about explaining america to people. now your attitude is we give you m

without us being in that unit. so as a result of that, when we got the order for the war to kick off, we were ready to go. then it dawned on me, wow i guess i'm going to combat. i guess i'm going to iraq. and i was actually happy for it because i wanted to be with the unit of course and do the mission, and i think all of the females were expected and excited about the idea of going with the unit and glad that we had not been forgotten about. >> host: that was a crazy time i remember because we had a vote in the congress about whether we would go to iraq or not in that happened in october brett before the november election. yourselfe in november and were sitting around and sitting around and sitting around. of course we launched in march. so you find yourself in iraq. give us a little bit of what that felt like. did you wake up every morning with adrenaline going? did you have your gun with you all the time? oh and by the way the second story going on through that is that your husband, peter, is also a marine. and h

unit to unit mail so they would not cut off routed back to the united states. but we found that so it would take a month instead of two weeks. we saw each other and it was great because i feel very privileged to have that opportunity to see him but it is hard to describe it as romantic. [laughter] >> host: i started to laugh when you describe that. >> guest: my has been took one of the hon the end we drove to the front lines of kuwait and just looked out into the desert realized the absurdity of the situation sitting there looking over into iraq in what would be in front of us knowing we would soon cross the threshold into iraq. bits was interesting and like something out of a movie. very surreal. >> host: when you're has been to left first coming you were at 29 palms and don't give that a very good rating by the way. i am from california. [laughter] that is about an hour in a half east of less but you are not very nice to california but that is where we can put everybody out there they can train in more like circumstances of iraq or afghanistan. you are living

states before foreign citizens and the united states. i mean george bush still holds that george w. bush still holds the record on executions when he was governor perry is close behind but the idea is perry knew that there was a five to four decision in the u.s. supreme court to refuse to stay the execution while the senate considers legislation to bring the u.s. including all the states and territories in line with this the end of convention on consular relations and by basically snubbing this international treaty that the u.s. has signed up to texas is putting every american traveling abroad who gets arrested for just the filed for or i'm just to file the reasons they're put in jeopardy because what this individual said is he wasn't afforded quick. consular services from the mexican consulate without the les that's what the treaty says that was what he used as a basis to have the execution stayed you mentioned the role that it has played internationally and i read that this by least in the one nine hundred sixty three treaty that was s

of what could lend the united states of the united states towards collapse is the decline in our economy but this isn't unique our economy declined during the one nine hundred thirty s. during the great depression and we eventually got out of the great depression so i would see where you can see whether the united states is going to collapse but many people including you and you and i think every thinking person is concerned about the future of the united states today what might a collapse look like if it were to happen to american society. what might a collapse look like if it happened to american society we can think of a variety of scenarios beginning with the worst and going to gentle it was the worst the worst scenario would be a nuclear war in which civilization was wiped out and most people were killed and the people left alive would be my friends in the highlands of new guinea who recently were using stone tools and can figure out how to use stone tools again so that would be a grass to collapse. a gentle a collapse would be conditions such as those we see today on the island of

>> rose:ight. >> and in the united states, does the united states take kindly to the prospect of deine? you bet it doesn't. does the tea party... do many ordinary americans take kindly? who would, to the prospect of decline? so that even if you haveise and enlightened and far-sighted leaders on both sides the passions and tensions coming out from those societies may push them different directions. >> rose: speaking of barack obama, did you once write that your judgment of him was that his order of priorities were security first, development second and human rights third? >> a poor third. >> rose: a poor third, you said. >> a poor third and i'm not the only pson have noticed that. and i see in his retoox the arab spring an attempt to address that because, after all, what you had on the streets of tunis and cairo was young arabs risking their lives for democracy and for human rights, often in a purely non-violent way. it was the civil rights movement that inspired barack obama as a young man but on the streets of tunis and cairo and he had to react to that. >> rose: and can he do that wi

we have 12 units on the third floor and 12 units on the second floor. this is the elevation on scott street. and on the middle, you can see that there is a canopy that identifies the address. that is at the point of the new recessed entry for the building. we had to spit coloring finishes and upgrades to the building. -- we anticipate coloring finishes and upgrades to the building. on lombard street, we are reserving the character, but we're also working on the acoustics and security needs, lightings and cameras. that concludes my presentation. i can answer questions. i would like to introduce the next speaker from market street. >> as executive director of larkin street youth services. we have been around for 27 years to provide as that of housing, shelter, medical care, and education employment services for runaway and homeless youth in san francisco. we have to dig ever shelters. we have 10 housing programs. we have a wide array of education and employment programs to help young people get off the streets and to be about to build the skills they need

it means united states. but who in the united states? mexicans in the united states clacks which mexicans? manly mexican women in the united states. basically what i say is the social cultural mental transformation of mexican migrant women in the united states can be the single most important lever of transformation of mexican culture mentality and everything. why? because mexican women who come to the united states to work illegally that's not the issue of that's not what we said, i'm not interested in those matters. i'm just as mexican as a pretty else is. fight? [laughter] mexican women who come here tend more and more to come alone. they are not coming, they are not being brought to the u.s. by the family and even when they are once they are here they say goodbye and that's it. mexican women who come here, they don't half -- they make their money, they decide what to do with their money, they may send some home, maybe they don't, they may have kids, maybe they don't, they hook up with one guy, they leave that guy, they filled up with

in a 340 is the ground floor unit. 342 is even floor unit, and let my contractor was working in unit 340 and had demolished the ceiling, he saw that the four was rotted and unsafe. he has provided a declaration in the packet provided to you. officially the exhibits quickly taken with my camera fun. they are not the best pictures. that is why i went to the unit, and that is what i saw. if it was only a $2.50 fix, we gladly would have done that. instead, we began demolition work hot pudding in a brand-new bathroom. when she talks about lead paint, not one service was touched. and when she moved into her unit, the wolves -- walls are as they were now where she made them that way. and the kitchen an. [chime] commissioner garcia: when you dealt with the individual -- >> i did not. commissioner garcia: was there a use of jcc? was that a unilateral decision? >> when i talked to the tenant, i told him what they needed to do. i suggested that as a resolution and that is what we agreed to do. >> it doesn't seem odd that a woman would not accept that? does that strike you as strange she felt th

states it's that politics one of the united states to. the right and danielle say that agreement is no reached so how will that damage the u.s. refutation well light i think it would be a very significant prayer. mainly because again not because there would be you know a week or two debate of interest payments to countries that want us dead now but obviously that would obviously be something these countries with the right the biggest are going to be this concert reputation in the back of the united states has never defaulted on its debt is something that it's something that is the reason people are attracted to buy u.s. debt in the first place and it's what's enabled to the united states to deficit spend good decades now because there's a insatiable appetite for its debt defecting i would say that would be like i said it would be the third strike against the u.s. in three years it would make it look we're responsible it's going to be harder for the united states to go to china and say you need to. allow your currency to appreciate china o

the united states, by contrast, does not have a solvency problem. the american economy remains one of the world's most competitive with many of the fastest-growing companies in most of the advanced industries. it houses the best capital markets in the world, the greatest universities, the most dynamic society. america is demographically vibrant thanks to immigration. it will be the only rich country that will see its population grow over the next 25 years. america could face a liquidity problem, that is it could have difficulty financing its debts and deficits if markets lose faith in it, again, let's be clear. this has not happened yet. in fact, right now, the world is lending to america more cheaply than ever before. the most important difference between greece and america is this -- america has many paths to solve this deficit problem. were it to implement the simpson-bowles plan, congress would allow the bush tax cuts to expire, returning rates to where they were under bill clinton's presidency, where american created almost 25 million jobs. tha

united states to have a special relationship. they want to give israel large amounts of diplomatic assistance and material and to give that assistance without qualification and give it to them no matter what they do. that is what makes this relationships so special. we have a large interest group called the israel lobby working overtime for decades now to put the united states into a position where it supports israel unconditionally. a few of have an open debate where israel is criticized for pursuing policies in ways to make it clear the american and israeli interest are sometimes at odds with each other, then you begin to question in the special relationship to say why are we supporting israel when the interest of the two countries are at odds? the lobby does not want people like john mearsheimer saying israel and united states have different interests because that might undermine the special relationship. instead what the lobby wants is for everyone to be on the same page to say israel is the indispensable lie and nothing that

was vacant and it was the unit the other people would use while the work was happening in their unit. >> so just to be clear, even if we do nothing, your department can revel kitten and start over and fix the issues? >> they could not be done on the sperm that -- on this permit. the cost is too low. commissioner peterson: i have another question for mr. epstein. was she effected -- she evicted? >> she got a one week stay. >> there is a possibility that her unit may be vacated? >> she would have used of the bathroom without a doubt. commissioner garcia: assuming you get a new permit. commissioner peterson: that was my question. >> on that permit, i agree with mr. duffy to address the borad -- broad and general things. the completion of the bathroom, i would absolutely past that we be permitted to complete that. i think he plumbing pipe is on there. >> i think you would be better to take that offline with mr. duffy. >> commissioners? >> i will start, but i am not sure i am going anywhere. it is difficult to see the position from both sides. on the one hand, i don't know why you appeal

of russian adopted children children in the united states. i resisted united states of america just three weeks ago and we know this was not the first time. it was a special visit to center internet in a national center for missing and exporting children and not me american specialists told me that the arrow of violence and cruelty in the american family is too high too so you can see it as a situation the sausalito is russian children towards all children want to move toward all children even their own children yes absolutely so you want your saying now that american families are generally cruel. i didn't say so but. it's nice is that all cruelty monitors more and more and more every year among among native americans or among immigrants or first wave immigrants of i can cheer you can share and. i think in the. kinds of families where we can find it and i can compare the situation is in that it is an american in russia because russia has a problem of cruelty and violence in our families against children not only gives. or the children used to

and kind of aware of that but and when united states and where you are years we united states and now at this point. so i don't mean any we are talking you could. only think so then do you feel that the state department is kind of done you wrong here an example of you know someone who is studying here are you really feel that there is an opportunity for you and yet you have this opportunity voided by a computer glitch and there was a stream of disappointed they couldn't believe that it should be abandoned states can do such things well so being main areas that i think it's. a lot of people mentioned already that i can see it was the way to do. and then when we made the team that boarded the school. do you do you believe that it was a computer glitch or do you think something else was to blame and it's probably will sound problems because a lot of people were selected he says the problem is it's. it's too cocky year to check all the results where they didn't and why and nobody answered his question then is there anybody to answer your questions that you have about your what do you mean

that money comes back to the united states. we're moving on all fronts, a lot of strength in the company, a lot of energy. very proud of the progress we've made. >> we'll come right back with dan akerson, the ceo of general motors. i'm going to ask why he, the ceo of general motors is actually in favor of a gas tax when we come back. and 24/7 help from award-winning customer support to take control of my finances and my life. i tap into the power of revolutionary mobile apps. to trade wherever. whenever. life isn't fully experienced sitting idly by. neither is investing. [ birds chirping ] i've heard of it, but i haven't seen one up close. what's the word around the sink? that it removes 3 times more soap scum per swipe, and it came from outer space. it is not from outer space! no, man, it's from outer space. they're aliens on an intergalactic cleanliness mission. they're here to clean up the universe. oh, the kitchen scrubbers are aliens, too? yeah, look at that greasy kitchen mess. everybody's in on the cleanspiracy, man. i c

105 units of gorgeous housing. this building has been here for a long time and got its second or third rebirth, and looks beautiful. this project, in particular, has meaning to the health department. essentially, 80 of the 200 units are part of our direct access to housing program. tndc, early on, helped us with 60 chronically ill seniors. another thing about tndc, whether we have bombs in the road, disagreements along the way, they are one of those organizations, when you work with them, they will sit down with you and problem-solving and come to a solution at the drop of a hat. we really value that, and that is the way the collaborative should be. i am certain tndc will be alive and kicking for some time. they are a solid organization. one final thing, i am really excited about our future collaboration. the ymca down the block will be 174 new studio units, 100% linked with the health department. we will be referring homeless clients with health issues into that project. we will decoupling it with an 11,000-square

historically, there has been an illegal units. in 2007, a few months later, the variance was granted, and a permit was issued to do the work but was required end to the elias -- that was required to legalize the unit. to complete the work of was contemplated in the 2006 permit -- i misspoke. in november, a new permit was filed to remove the unit and also to expand new building. what i think is important to note is the initial action we understand to be motivated out of concern by the tenant, who would be evicted, and our our action stems from that as well. our action stems from the decision was made in 2006. aside from the outcome of this does comply with planning code. were it not for the history, we would have issued a neighborhood notice and would have gone on to a approved a permit. we will continue to defer to your judgment. we understand the circumstances which led to your 2006 action may no longer be presidenent. if the is the case, we would not find that objectionable at all. we do not have anything else to say, but we wou

we are going to the united nations. we are going to do everything there is so that we can stop this thing. ike knew that if this was canal was disrupted or pipelines were destroyed, the british and french would attack. he didn't know of course they had already planned to do that. if the british intervened, ike said, they may open a deep rift between us. with election eight days a week, eisenhower declared he did not care in this latest whether he was reelected or not. on october 30 of the british and french implemented to the letter the secret plan they had endorsed on october 24th. they delivered a 12 hour ultimatum to israel and egypt to cease military operations to 10 miles from the suez canal and execution of the canal anglo-french forces the a assume once enacted the world war ii ally in the white house would bail them out with funds, oil and military equipment. bully with a long. instead, an angry eisenhower told an aide those who began this operation should be left to baliles in their own oil. that night in the u

states and the growth in the united states support versus something like christians united for israel because one of. the writers that i was just reading was making a comparison just in terms of their internet support to make the case that something like has has so much more support been something like j. street how do you think they compare. well it's absolutely true i mean jay's three in my mind is politically irrelevant as made very little impact you only have to look at netanyahu as appearance before congress where he rejected one nine hundred sixty seven borders and land swaps which is what j. street had bases its whole existence upon based their existence upon the peace process which netanyahu has rejected and netanyahu received more standing ovations by the congress and barack obama did in his state of the union address so what christians united for israel supports they have and what they have to support from a illogical perspective is that not only that israel keeps all of the settlements in the west bank but that they commit massive ethnic cleansing in order to rid the west b

secretary janet napolitano caved and downsized the entire domestic terrorism unit until there was just one guy left and he had just one guy overseeing all the domestic terror threats in the country meanwhile everyone else of the h.s. is looking into islamic terror threats which doesn't seem to make much sense according to the f.b.i. own data about terrorism in the united states take a look at this chart it breaks down the f.b.i.'s numbers on what groups and carried out terror attacks in the us between one thousand nine hundred and two thousand and five including nine eleven turns out muslims are responsible for only six percent of all terror attacks the rest is primarily homegrown domestic terror mostly committed by christians so it doesn't p.h.s. have it backwards should there be more people at the department looking into threats beyond islamic terror for example threats from right wing christian fanatics like anders breivik who brought unspeakable violence to norway last week here offer his take on this is brian fisher director of issue analysis of the conservative american family as

is it in the united states? or is it in lines in the foreign countries, people waiting to come into the united states? i would submit that if those who are in the united states illegally are too go to the back of the line, it's not a line in the united states. the people in line to come into the united states legally are by definition not in the united states. they're outside the united states. they're in their home country. they're following the laws of america. they're lined up to come in the right way. god bless them for doing that. but that line that line of legal waitees, the line of people willing to respect american immigration law, get in line and wait in line, isn't scrust some short little old line you can put 11 million to 20 million people behind and think you'll process them through. that line of people who are respecting american laws and are waiting to come into the united states legally, none of them are in the united states. it's 50 million strong, mr. speaker. 50 million people have taken the t

>> i don't have access to other units. i am the manager, but since we took over the building, her boyfriend refused to provide us with keys. if it was a solution, we would have taken it immediately. >> mr. duffy. >> grieving, commissioners. it is basically battery model, as you can see. it is usually an over-the- counter permit. >> can you put that on the overhead? the actual permit? >> if you look in the file we provided, it would not be there. how you would have to have brought it yourself. >> this is just a print out of the permit details report. we don't have the actual building permits. i have not got it with me. this gives the information pretty much similar to the permit. missing signatures and stuff. the permit would have required a separate employment typical of any other permit. the work would have had to comply with the practices for lead based paint because it is a remodeled. and having got through the phase of demolition, it would require that of the tenants. they would be given three days' notice of the work.

, the investigation unit and technical investigative unit. what i would like to do is just briefly go into our two priorities and give you an update and status on those two initiatives. first, as you mentioned, chairman, in your opening statements, so many of the operations we have had have resulted several years ago initially the extra diction, some transferred to the u.s. and some have been lowered to the u.s. the first extra diction which occurred in 2005 was that of hajidi b as mohammed and received 15 years incarceration. again, that was signed by president karzai prior to the afghan parliament convening, but again, it was the first extra diction. some of the other significant traffickers we have been able to target and arrest -- hajiji ju makan perhaps the most prolific heroin trafficker. he was to the united states in 2008 and first prosecuted under the patriotic architect, narco terrorism act. another key trafficker is khan mohammed, the first narco terror conviction and sentenced to two life terms here in the district of columbia. so

the united states won the other semifinal against france, 3-1. japan scored nine minutes after sweden was allowed a goal. and then the captain netted a goal putting the team in the lead. and then scored four minutes later. that put the national team into the final securing a first medal for the country. japan will have to beat the united states on sunday to win its first ever world cup victory. the united states is gunning for its third title. >> it was a very good game. we hope japan gets the world championship. >> it was fantastic. i have to root for the usa now. yes. but i hope it will disturbance bo -- both teams will have a good game. >> now we go to the latest in business news. >> thank you. let's look at the united states. in testimony before u.s. congress on wednesday the federal reserve chairman said the central bank would be open to new economic stimulus measures if necessary. the u.s. meeting on the economy is held twice a year. ben bernanke said the weaker performance than expected continues in the u.s. they include an expected recove

the united states and the allied powers anton 1934.his was a totally said -- totally different situation. britain and france were not available to help. he was widely criticized, much more so. my book does not do justice to that particular subject, i regret to say. >> would you address the eisenhower and vietnam? >> i sound like a broken record. i tell you i know a lot. i do know about that. he clearly made the decision not to intervene in indochina in 1954, particularly to save the french at the siege. he had a number of advisers who wanted into. he thought and thought about it and was surrounded by a number of people who thought he should. he went over and came back the next day and said i'm not going to send one soldier to die on those rice paddies. he didn't. having said that, eisenhower left a bit of a mass. the geneva conventions of 1954, i used to teach a course on it. the geneva convention of 54 called for unifying elections in vietnam. those elections never took place because the united states supported in effect the creation

the second round of the united states. quantitative easing that has created some of those low interest rates that you were talking about and all of that liquidity that hasn't spurred the economy though i want to go back to something you said you were talking about you don't really know what would cause a hedge fund manager to deserve so much income i want to as though about kind of the american eat those because right now as we see republicans demanding spending cuts but not tax increases we see this issue of you know a corporate jet tax be made kind of political fodder but the united states really is built on kind of a free market economy obviously and notions of the american dream that americans should be able to get rich and should be able to earn as much money as they can and if they can good for them so they are go given that do americans what rich people and not want to have them have their taxes raised. well look americans have a lot of problems but you know what we're not that stupid it turns out that we can tell t
