they have steps they will be going into the future use. i know the ranking member for the subcommittee is on its way. he does have a statement. i am not going to read it. he will be up here. you will give him the opportunity to make that statement when he shows up. thank you for allowing me here with you. >> thank you. i ask unanimous consent to include a statement from his the president and ceo of unmanned vehicle systems and the president of the air line pilots association describing the domestic use of the uas, both of whom are in favor of this hearing. the chair and now will go to the panel. i had the pleasure to visit todd humphries yesterday appeared being from austin, i take pride that you're here today. growing up in a family of longhorns, i take even more pride than that. i have a little orange blood myself. he is the assistant professor at the cockrell school of engineering. for anybody here who understand that other than dr. humphreys. he directs the laboratory at ut austin where his focus is on preventing spoofing and jamming. t

if it was found to not be a legal use, the authorization would exist, but it would not be useful. you cannot weigh in on whether that is illegal use are not. that is a private matter between the parties. commissioner borden: for that purpose, it does not make as much sense for us to continue this case out, but i think we could discuss whether or not there are appropriate conditions about requiring the white zone and not by telling, or requiring a crossing guard. some of the issues that people address -- it is obviously a little bit different with a preschool, because those kids are not generating trash and roaming the neighborhood. their parents are may be getting out of the card temporarily to bring them to the car, or they are being brought directly to the car. presumably, it is not all day long. traffic conditions seem like much more of an issue for other situations. we would support a condition related to requiring a crossing guard, and a morning or evening pick up, as well as asking to get the wide zone, so parents can call up temporarily. i would move that we approve, and ad

they would be multi-use. they have soccer fields that can be used for both baseball, softball, or soccer. so you basically -- on astroturf is all pictures. you draw a picture of a soccer diamond and a picture of a baseball diamond and whenever you play you play on top of it. it is like the raiders and the oakland a's play on the same field. it looks funny but it works. the field could be multi-purpose where it could be used for baseball, softball, or soccer. we're not talking about removing the baseball diamonds. as a little league coach, i could not advocate that. supervisor chu: the existing location has dedicated baseball fields and other fields to be soccer. you're saying create one big field, use it however you like. >> make it a multi-use field. similar to sunset. supervisor chu: you had talked about all the different alternatives. it failed to consider the alternatives. under the eir they did analyze a number of different options which included potentially having it done at sunset, having no renovation

use the we at your center? no? [laughter] ok. some people might not be into using the wii. that is perfectly fine. yes? ind person. there may be some opportunities for people who are visually impaired. >> the director of our center is blind. she was telling us a story. she had a lot of fun playing bolling -- bowling. if you can remember what movement and where you had to do it, it is very fond -- very fun. bowling is one of the possibilities with the wii without having any adaptation, just having the remote and directing the person in the right spot. >> i have heard a couple of people have commented they cannot afford the wii. go to your local senior center. the broadband technology grant program has purchased about 40 systems to be distributed throughout the city. find out if your local senior center is part of that program and has a wii. i am going to be doing training with all of the senior center a activity directors in the next couple of weeks so that all of them will know how to supervise and manage and use the system. by this summer, there should be wii at a senior center near you. we urge you to

you are taking land that is supposed to be for all public people, not using it for all. o want parks to be available for all people, and also educate people in those parks. you can have cooking lessons, sewing lessons, reggae, karaoke. the parks are nature. it belongs to us all. things are looking up on you all, since washington, d.c. is such a crazy place today. think of no health care for the parks. president chiu: are there any other members of the public who wish to speak about the bond? seeing none, public comment on this matter is closed. are there any other comments that folks would like to make? any comments from the department? i want to thank the rec and park leadership who are here. with that, but colleagues, could we hear and file this hearing without objection? without objection, this hearing has been heard and filed. items 30 and 31 have been called. i understand item 30 has to be adopted before we can place the measure on the ballot. please call the roll on item 31. supervisor wiener: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: aye.

you saying that really it's not practical to be used against the people but you know you don't know what i said assad's going to do is assume he's being rational but it wouldn't seem to have much use internally given the kind of warfare that's going on but you know the man does have his back against the wall and who knows what he might do with those weapons but i think it's you know this is getting a bit blown out of proportion at the moment i think we've got to wait and see what's going to happen that the rebels say that they're creating a special kind of unit of men that would secure chemical weapons sites do you think they would be in safe hands if they took control or that these rebels if successful that they would be responsible in terms of these stockpiles it depends which group of rebels we're dealing with in which situation the rebels are made up of a range all backgrounds and interests there is the transitional you know there's the there's the main rebel group which do seem to be how you being quite rationally and are suggesting that they you know for instance that they woul

but i think it would be best, if possible, for us to have a more extensive debate next week. and there will be another opportunity. supervisor wiener: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: i will keep my comments brief, because i think i have spoken on this issue. i do appreciate such a robust and engage discussion on how to have a democratically engage process around how we elect our representatives in the city. i think that as we discussed this, each and every time, i think i have a greater and nuanced appreciation for the systems we have. i do wholeheartedly support rank-troy's voting. as the discussion continues, my support actually increases, versus decreasing. for a number of reasons i have alluded to before, while we have seen in every race where we have runoffs, with the exception of two mail races, we have seen a vast decline in the number of voters who come out to vote in the december runoff, whether it is the board of supervisors, city attorney, and other offices. i appreciate we are limiting discussions to the mayor's race.

morning focuses on the need to promote this type of transparency and accountability in the use of fisa authority. you may be aware that the administrative office at the u.s. courts publishes an annual report and runs almost 200 pages and details the use of wiretap authority for criminal investigations and provides a great deal of information about the cost and the effectiveness and the jurisdictions as well as the number of incriminating and non-incriminating communications gathered. most critically, this report which has been produced every year for over 30 years, provides only statistical data. doesn't implicate any particular investigation. doesn't reveal any details about ongoing investigations. it does however provide a basis for the public and for the congress to evaluate the effectiveness and the use of electronic surveillance and criminal investigations. the aba recommended in 2003 and very much supports the view that in your consideration of the fisa amendments act, there should be greater public accountability for the use of these wiretap authorities. there simply is too little known today by the

i'm not sure this is much fiction now as it use to be. but was trying to figure out the utilizationization and utility, what's the usefulness of the continuous development of the technology? >> it's a great question. there are in fact, a lot of great uses to which these drones can be put. i want to use them in the research so we can do better detection of interference sources in the gps radio ban. i'll confess also. i'm looking forward to a day when i get a taco delivered to my doorstep from a done that days takeout deliver i are. other types can be in monitor border helping to surveil difficult situations like a swat attack against somebody who is got as hostile situation ongoing. i see these as being very useful. i would not want to put the brakes on the plan faa has to roll them out in the future. i would simply want to hold the faa to the language of the act passed back in february so we is safely accelerate the adoption of these uav into the national air space. >> i guess since we have a great concern about terrorism, terrorist, terro

reaction now from inside syria political analyst what the team is waiting to talk to us in the capital damascus thanks for being with us hillary clinton calling on america's allies to take measures against russia and china saying they will pay the state she sees as close to the government of course what do you think these measures could be how could they pay. well i mean first of all the very statement that mrs clinton has made seems to be more of an election year rhetoric done something that should be said in an international conference i think the threat is really just as your report mentioned it's ranting and he hundred nations are still with us are gathered according to reports in paris most of them are not anymore to be sanctioned russia or china i think mrs clinton was talking mainly to the american electorate because there are of course friends also during the next couple of months which are very critical will be no two party conventions in washington about what the obama. administration has done with this crisis so this is more of a speech i think to the american electorate that's because the internatio

i think the 22, i have heard, it used to be the 15th, and also the one that goes -- there are a couple targeted bus lines. there used to be a program where adults would rise to some of these bus lines -- would rise to some of these bus lines to monitor and mentor on the buses. on some of the bus lines with highs levels of incidents. it is really between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m., and i hear that fridays are the worst days. but if we kind of know the data already, i would love to be a part of a conversation, and i am sure some of my colleagues here would love to become a part of the conversation on how to make muni safer for kids as well. >> at the elementary school level, it is the only 10% of the families taking it. supervisor kim: i am really talking about middle school. >> exactly, with a middle school and high, we have to take that into a serious consideration. supervisor kim: thank you. supervisor olague: and that was the point from my earlier comments. i am concerned that the percentage of students who are basically forced to take the muni to the other thing is i think there needs

be able to then feel like they can do something to change it. it's one of the reasons that i like motivational interviewing and using that approach so much because it instills that sense in folks that they can do something different; they have different options. and being able to partner with them and help them figure out what is going to work for them. because what might work for one person is going to be very different from what would work for the next person. being able to help people figure out what changes they can make, how to sustain whatever changes they are doing, and how to make that really incorporated into their life. to me, that is where true recovery comes into play when you can actually take the skills and the strategies that you are learning and then use them. absolutely, and i am glad you mentioned recovery because that's going to be the subject of our next panel. we'll be right back.

that is precisely why i am trying to be created here, to have a unit that will ultimately allow us to be self-funding, and take additional responsibility from the general fund that you're giving us now and have historically given. that is something that would be worth pursuing over the course of the next several years. i have had discussions with the mayor's office about that and they have been supportive of a pilot plan on that. that would be the one major initiative but i would say is a trend that i would like to pursue. supervisor chu: to be clear, you mentioned five new positions be requested for the city attorney's office, three of which relate to redevelopment agency work, and then the two for the consumer protection unit? >> correct. supervisor chu: and then with regard to some of the other areas where we ask departments to respond, it sounds like you do not have capital programs coming forward. do you have any jobs or internships available through the city attorney that is able to benefit youth, particularly, in the summertime? >> yes, supervisor. as you can imagine, most of t

the syrian conflict now in terms of the attack helicopters that hillary clinton has claimed that being used the russian attack helicopters that hillary clinton claims are being used to kill civilians. the russian foreign minister has said that it's not simply not the case that this there is a shipment of dismantled helicopters currently on its way from russia to syria by boat but that say those are helicopter parts it would take more than a month for them to be put together so they clearly can be being used to kill civilians out the moment as hillary clinton seems to be suggesting now also in terms of this shady foreign power that are providing chemical weapons hillary clinton not providing any names of countries. they're somewhat vague in her finger pointing also not mentioning what this price that she says russia and china will have to pay so they say a vitriolic statement from the u.s. secretary of state but one really taking the for more of a rant at times than a considered political argument. artie's peter over by that update thanks for that . now it's selling continues in the syrian c
