there were things we got at the beginning two years ago that we have changed as a result of what we have learned and i imagine i imagine we will continue that as we go along. again, it is a very high priority and we will keep you posted. >> mr. andrews, i think it is essential to harden against cyber security because other than your every day natural disaster but when it is not a natural disaster whatever is attacking us is going to be attacking us with cyber simultaneously. what are you going to do? >> sen., cyber security is a a high priority for the department. we recognize it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed as part of the firstnet buildout. not only are we working to make sure they have the support they need but our cio is involved our team is involved and we are working hand-in-hand with firstnet to make sure they have the resources not just from the department but from across the government, the best expertise available including a number of experts who have been involved. >> i have met and you are going to need to work with them. you're going to your going to need to

we could not do all the work we do without our partner organizations primarily the city departments we work with. we work with oawd, mta planning and also a number of non profits that share or vision for clean safe and slibeerant uniunion scare and city. we have augmented 3.3 million budget with a number of grants. year 1 we got a million forado to extend theide walk [inaudible] we also got grants from [inaudible] a gate way to the district to make it a vibrant and welcomeing area. finally, we raised additional money 3 sponsorship and fund raising. now i will go through year by year and capture a few events each year. the first year we did a stuteejic plan. we got the board members in the room and decided what are the priorities. [inaudible] we also spent time representing community interest on the central subway and in particular the design of union square station and you can see a picture. we also keep track of statistics when they provide service we count the number of interaction of the tourist. we cleaned 5 thousand miles of side walk. we keep track of this avenue year. year 2, 20

we need to make sure we get it right when we do it.f the asteroid mission or something with the mental help us get there, that is great. -->> it is always going to be expensive for what they are trying to do. for 40 years, the nasa budget has been less than 1% of the federal budget. for the last 15 years, it has been driving down to 0.4% of the federal budget. unless the country, which really is congress, decides to put more money in it, this is just talk here. the budget has got to go up for nasa. that is another reason why i feel strongly nasa has to be operating more efficiently and not doing some of the things which would be marginal. you have to focus it on what has to be done. nasa's budget is too low to do the things we talked about doing here this afternoon. >> absolutely. i like to point out i have this study being done at purdue near the end of april. i have assembled 25 other academic institutions that deal with exploration. academic institutions are supposed to be unbiased. they are supposed to teach the general background.

we can do it, but if we don't have the -- we can do it in this ad hoc way. if we don't have, as lee said before, the kind of intervention and strategies that promote this all throughout the country, they will still be outliers as opposed to the norm. neera tanden: thank you, randi. randi was talking about place-based strategies. matching up human capital with economic development. i want to talk to you about how a number of urban areas are facing she's issues of inferior housing, failing schools. one of the initiatives that secretary castro talked about was promise zones. which is really looking at the fact that today research shows that a person's zip code has more to do with their life expectancy than their genetic code. how do we really directly address those -- what's happening to the individual in that community? promise zones someone of the initiatives. can you tell us how that helps tackle some of these challenges and what you're seeing from your experience? >> thanks. i want to echo what an honor it is to be part of a distinguished panel this morning

and hutch do we expect. >> we are sticking with what we thought would happen and that is a a general four to eight swab for southern two-thirds's, a few minor tweaks but i want to take you outside. as you mentioned the rain/snow line is essentially over philadelphia. i will move over to the radar here and stop it in time and zero in on the rain/snow line. fill will a county and little bit of mixing depending on your neighborhood. it is still raining near stadiums and starting to snow now as you go toward lower merion or bala. that gives us an eye tea what we are dealing with here. if it hasn't change over yet give it time, it certainly will. we have winter storm warnings posted as a result. further are north in the purple is an advisory specific to the lehigh valley and poconos, but for more modest two to 4 inches but we do again expect four to 8-inch swab to unfold here across philadelphia, more like four to six but higher end of that range go south east of i-95. heavy snow will be out there early on, slick surfaces reduced visibility, whole 9-yard, slow travel. be careful out there

typically once we have an approved requisition, we then go, we then publish the position as it's been approved and begin recruitment. and the recruitment process will stay open until we have a sufficient number of applicants to begin an interview process. this is a high priority for myself and the general manager. we talk about our need to get this position staffed. it is a leadership position. much of the work that is described here in the timeline is performed boo i other staff. so we can continue to make progress, absent the leadership position, of course it's much preferred to have a leadership position filled having said that, but i do want to assure you that we will make progress regardless of the vacancy that we have in the leadership position. >> do you have a sense from dhr, department of hurm resources as to when the position will be posted? >> i don't have a sense for that. i don't. sorry. >> do you think we'll have it by our next lafco meeting? >> i'm not sure. >> if there has been no posting for the position by that point that as part of the presentation that we can maybe

we continued the freedom rides, once we started the freedom rides, we decided if we would give a full-time for a couple of years, it would be like the peace corps, boots on the ground, so to speak. community service. we started to go to work on boat registration as part of our response ability for committee service. we went to the rural areas where you had a large number of blacks who were not registered to vote even though they might have had the majority of the population. i decided i would drop out of school for a couple of years. i came down to atlanta, georgia and decided i would become director -- james forman had decided he was going to give me directorship. but, when we went to get the directorship, he said i have an urgent need to get people out of jail in louisiana. need to raise money. i went to detroit and chicago to raise money. i returned and he said "i'm sorry, there are no more directorships." what do you mean? we looked on the wall, the map and there was an x through selma. he said we are not sending anybody to selma. why not? he said, we already sent two teams of six work

we know there's issues, we know there's problems. and it's easy to say that when you're not looks at large blocks of cases. if you're not verifying reports from family members if you're not verifying reports from funeral directors, folks who are nonbeneficiaries and you're not verifying reports where some piece of the data doesn't match the record that's a significant potential amount of nonmatches that you might have to correct down the road had you done those verifications verifications. you can't fix 6.5 million reports if you don't know about it. we really have to look at the integrity of the data, clean it up whether it's looking -- a look back or prospective, there's a lot of noise in this file that needs to be taken care of before it can be a much better program integrity tool. >> thank you very much. >> senator langford. >> thank you. >> let me make a quick comment. this committee has dealt with it, i've dealt with it for quite a while as well. dealing with the proposed rule making from february of last year dealing with just

we have the examples of where we with we can be successful.ecretary clinton: nice to get back into what works and try to learn from examples that i think can teach us all a lot of lessons and that to me is the most important takeaway. we have cities that are working well because they have been re-inventing themselves and have done so in a collaborative and inclusive manner. they have work to do, by they are demonstrating there are a prompse we can learn from and can apply. there are other cities that are having difficulty overcoming the contentiousness and figuring out ways to collaborate and it is a political battlefield than a policy discussion. i hope that cap and the others represented here this morning can do together what is so needed and that is to stimulate a conversation in cities themselves because i think it is both bottom up and top down. and cities going to state capitals and coming here to washington and saying we need to create the coordination and collaboration and need to have your help in convening and looking at what works a

that is an area we have asked for comment. we will be looking at how we can balance that. because we are talking about introducing systems that are not designed or manufactured in any kind of system that we are accustomed to, we think that is a risk that needs to be addressed in this rulemaking. ms. ayotte: mr. misener with some issues you have raised, given how amazon proposes to use these unmanned systems to help package delivery, where do you see this issue in the rulemaking going forward? ms. gilligan, if you can help address concerns mr. misener raised. first, i would like to hear from mr. misener. mr. misener: what the faa has done in its nprm is fine. it really needs to go further. we need to be looking further beyond the road from the beyond visual line of sight. it is coming quickly. the fact that we are not even proposing rules or frameworks for rules is lamentable. we ought to move ahead now. at least be thinking about those rules as opposed to dismissing them as the nprm did. ms. ayotte: how do you address the concerns with which he pays the faa is going for to

in all these problems that we face in the world we need to , understand that we are who we are, not by accident. we are who we are by design and by decisions that were taken by those who went before us. we are built on the concept, both our nations, on the ability to exercise free market -- economic liberty in the free market, we understand the values in terms of prosperity and security in free trade. we understand the need for rule of law to be applied independently. and we understand the concept of diversity across race, religion, gender. these are what makes us who we are. we need to take ownership of these and expanding this in a very unstable world. to my american political colleagues, i would say this there has never been a time when we were more able to shape the world. in the era of globalization, we need to shape it in our image and by our values. this is not a time for america to look inwards. this is not a time for america to become isolationist. there was never time for america to be more on the pitch than today. i think that is the best place to begin our conversation. [ap

we found a way to do that. we are hopeful we will find a way to do this as well. having said all of that the critical thing is that the system, our system overall is designed towards that five year storm and when we collect we collect approximately -- we can collect and store in one storm 775 million-gallons so basically if a three hour storm drops that amount we can handle that and that's a five year storm roughly. once we get beyond that our system simply cannot handle that so if you look back on december we had a 25 year storm and a hundred year storm. even if we spent a billion dollars we're going to flood during a 25 year storm and hundred year storm so those are some of the challenges we face as a city and the other thing i will say because it's pertinent we're looking at what else can we do instead of the typical great infrastructure where we collect and treat water and investing in green infrastructure. what can we do to create permeable pavement, green roofs and to really help during a storm to reduce flooding and investing $400,000 in eight different pro

every year we do this, i will let the clerk of the board know we held a budget, in past years we haven't requested any money and that was noted in there. we have to have a final budget completed by june 15th. it is staff's plan to use the april meeting to present and have our final budget taken care of. beyond that, we have the -- lafco is separate from any of the funding bodies, as most people would be considered in san francisco, so although we do contract with the city and county of san francisco to do a lot of our back office services and our clerking we contract with them, we receive funds once a year. we don't have a process to go back to the city and county and say, oops, we need supplemental funds. there isn't something in the process right now that allows us to occur. so what does this mean for our budget. we currently have a annual budget of $297,303. that amount was established. we had different amounts in previous years but working with the clerk's office we determined that was our fiscally responsible number that we can be requesting. for the last 7 years we have been return

like i said, when we first try, whatever we do initially is usually we learn from it. so this is just some small test. for example we've recently tested a step here. it's technology. blue tooth activated speaker that when you get within 40 feet of it, it starts sounding off. we can use this for blind passengers if they want to know where a station agent booth is or where an elevator is. this is one example of technology that we are pursuing. as well as imagine if you are blind and your path of travel is now interrupted because of who knows, something has gone wrong or bart is making a change then we can deploy technology such as this to divert people to another stairway or elevator. we do have april 1st, a track and trade program for people with mobility impairment. from 10:00 a.m. to noon. we will bring an out of service train for passengers to explore. if you don't know where the speaker is to contact the station agent. if you don't know where the seats are because usually when you get on its too crowded or you are afraid to enter the bart system because you don't kn

i hate to say this but if we were in a college we would say what kind of yield we have; right? >> right. >> and how is that related to the persistence -- i mean how many employers -- what kind of evaluations do we have from the employers? are they offering more summer jobs? >> i don't have hard data on it but we have more private sector than we can fill and when talking about entry level and there is a lot now and it's a buyer's market in the economy and we often don't have enough work ready and past muster with the employers and that's what door ways is screening the people and i don't have a number for it but we have more opportunities on the private sector side. >> as a parent and all of the public sector job opportunities that we have, have we filled all of those? >> yeah, they're over subscribe the. we have no problem filling those. >> maybe for next year when we do it again to have the data how we're doing on that and that leads to the 2nd district which is for the school district. >> >> for instance what are we doing to get more kids available or being ready for the priv

when we are threatened with the punishments we would get if we were caught. when you have this impairment that normally produces this fear that stops us, you are more likely to commit offenses in a cold-blooded fashion. there is more to it than that. there is yet another brain region called the ventral stye item -- stryartum. you can see there is greater activity and psychopaths when they are anticipating rewards. psychopaths are reward driven. they want the goods. just like an addiction. charlie: it is a stimulation to the brain? adrian: the idea is the brain that gets hopped up on reward is firing a lot more. maybe that is why they are more likely to pursue rewards and games that they want. a have a drive to do it and they don't have the emotional amygdala to hold them back to give them not fear that would normally resolved. eric: this is a spectacular serious -- series we are discussing. what i was a student, these techniques were not available and you have little insight into what was going on in the living brain. we now have insight into the biological s

we have staff here and once they are through we can have them leave and once we can go to the ms. hale >> thank you, good afternoon, commissioners, debbie raffell, director of the department of the environment. it is with great excitement and gratitude that we are here today to talk about work we have been doing for the last 15 years in our department around energy efficiency and looking ahead at the horizon how that work could potentially be enhanced, frankly, with the adoption of a cca as you all know, san francisco has set some very aggressive climate goals. we all understand that action happens at the city level and our city is one to take the bull by the horns and make sure that we are leading the way. one of our goals is 100 percent renewable electricity. in order to meet that goal and especially in the context of increasing demand for electricity with the electrification of vehicles, as we move towards electricity it's going to become more and more important that we maximize our ability to use electricity wisely, which means energy efficiency. and when we look at our energy

when we think we know where it is originated, we are starting to see indications that other criminals have ripped off the original idea and now they are launching these types of attacks. it continues to be a challenge but i think we are onto something. it would certainly be something we could use some help on down the road, as far as getting our hands on a foreign national and bring them to justice in the united states for white-collar crime. >> without compromising the investigation, can you tell is little bit -- you said it were problems with working with the foreign governments -- can you give us a sense of what those are? camas: as you can imagine in the world today, not all foreign governments would feel sorry for the united states with our citizens and the integrity of our financial systems suffering these types of scams. it is one of the reasons my agency takes this card so seriously because it impugns the integrity of the internal revenue service. there are those out there that don't feel bad for the united states and are not necessarily interested in helping us bring these ty

we chase -- that we face. as i mentioned secretary, i was perusing my bookshelf, and i came upon a very brilliant edition called keeping the edge, looking towards the future and that was managed by ashton carter -- written by ashton carter and essentially it said two of the things that we had to maintain a technological edge was to align our defense procurement practices with market forces, and secondly, to remain the world's fastest integrator of technology into the defense system. i kind of wonder how we are doing these days. i think that is very relevant for today. i just had a medium -- meeting with one of the defense thinkers last week talking about the challenges of integrating commercial technology into defense articles and how we are not doing as well as we should. as you know, reform is a major priority of this committee on both sides of the aisle. desertion -- mr. smith certainly shares my concern, as well as all of the members here permit and that is one of the topics that we want to talk you about

so if that is will we need to do, we do it, we go, and we get out. and we have to decide where we go based on u.s. interests. in my career, i had a chance to vote on the civil war in lebanon. i voted not to have u.s. troops in lebanon. i don't like civil wars. it is not an area where the united states should place themselves. i supported the first gulf war which was critical to us. i have a hard time understanding -- let me tell you something i think about. i have a hard enough time convincing legislators of what i do and i can only imagine how difficult it is to work with the french, british, spanish italian's, to say that we need to have very tough sanctions against a guy that is trying to gobble up the territory of free people -- vladimir putin. it makes no sense. you can't do everything by yourself. you have to assert your values and bring people along. you can't do it all by yourself. but we have the moral authority and standing to be leaders and bring people with us. and we need to do it. and of course fight radical islam. that question, what d

we miss. for example, you know, whenever i put out a solicitation for development or if we do it in-house, at minimally one of the requirements is you know this must go by sf gov guidelines and of course san francisco web master team has great guidelines as well. so at least meet all of that. as a designer i happen to know certain things about certain colors you don't use for color blindness and certain things you have to implement into websites so readers can actually use them. but i know there is really a lot more to it and i want to make sure, you know, the google team that brian mentioned, you don't get better than that as far as user interface design. they are going to be our main consultants in that regard and they already know they have to take all of this into account. but what is the stuff that you see that you kind of go on the web and other than though it's the best website, it still didn't take it into account. that's the kind of stuff we'd love to hear. that's all i have. >> thank

we are doing it because we looked into the future and we can see what happens if we don't change our transportation policies and we don't change our funding trajectory. just a few weeks ago, we at the dot released our traffic study and i would encourage you to look at it, it is at www.dot.gov\beyondtraffic. it's a draft and we're looking for comments. and it looks at all of the trends that we are going to experience, a population growth, areas that have undergone dramatic growth in the south and west that are already experiencing congestion. frankly, this study has taking -- taken on a resonance with the american public the on what we have expected. we are expecting a quarter of a million downloads of people reading this study. we think it has taken on present -- on this resonance because people know something is wrong. they see it and the potholes we are hitting every day. they see it in the congestion. even as transit ridership goes. and we will see these trends persist over the next 30 years. this is something that will absolutely drag our economy down, rather than something that

we partnered with the youth commission so we had student facilitators so we trained the students and they had a dialogue and that was really interesting and we learned a lot about some of the challenges and opportunities of riding muni. we also were able to secure quite a bit of real estate on the 2013 youth vote survey to try to get a better noting what perceptions were on the system and how they were traveling. in know jt students in the school -- in general students gave muni high marks in terms of the on time performance, in terms of safety. some of the things that caught our attention when we ask them -- well, how many are planning ride as adults? and less than 50% answer yes and i think that is short term and being enamored with the automobile. we learn when kids develop habits young and ride transit young they carry it throughout their life. i am also excited to report on what i think is a really positive upward trajectory for the overall muni system but particularly affects students that have to make more than one transfer or traveling a long distance to get to a school. abou

faith, we read this book and we read to the last chapter and we know that we win. faith that keeps us going every day, but we also note any journey is taken one step at a time. so our victory is a sure -- is assured when we take another step, and we walked together and don't get wary. when we take another step toward freedom and justice knowing that all things are good and those who love the lord and are called to its purpose. we take another step knowing no weapon against us will be able to stop us. we take another step knowing that the lord is my life and my celebration. whom shall i fear? of whom shall i be afraid we take another step knowing that i -- that eyes of not seen any years of not heard and neither has it entered the heart of man and a great things that are in store for all of us if we just keep the faith. [applause] >> let the church say amen. to bishop davis, to pastor strong, to all of god's people gathered in this place, i bring you greetings today in the name of the one who is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than we could ever imagine o

we haven't had one since 1935 and it's time we did. kay: we have two more.aryn is with us. >> would you like to see more nhs services provided by private companies? prime minister cameron: i'm sorry. i lost you. >> would you like to see more services provided by private companies yes or no? prime minister cameron: i am happy if there are charities or independent organizations that can provide a great service free as part of the nhs, then i think that is good health care. that is what matters to me. i love our nhs. it has done amazing things for my family. i will never forget taking my desperately ill young son into hospitals, getting into a and e. getting amazing treatment. everything they gave him. i want to make sure that that is always there for families in our country. now that would always be predominately a national health service provided by the national health service providers, the private sector, independent sectors. it has gone from 5% to 6% under this organization. great organizations like the -- that helping our loved ones and helping to pay for

we all have a place that we know we need to improve. >> we'll get to a lot more tips when we come back. if you'd like to learn more about the street smart campaign. you can easily go to the pub site. stay with us on "viewpoint." >>> welcome back. our focus again this sun morning the street smart campaign. captain, talk about how you're out there meeting people fis to face whether it's pedestrians or bicyclists. you signs and tlirs as well. >> george has a couple he can show you as well. we work on an aggressive education campaign. we put these signs on bus stops and behind buses and in social media. we try to hit all the gamuts. what these are, just demonstrations of making awaifrns that we are going to be conducting enforcement. this one is a little older and it shows the team of police officers out there for enforcement. when we go out, we conduct what's called zero tolerance enforcement. if drivers are not driving to peds or peds are not crossing properly everybody gets a citation. we want to make sure with this campaign that they knew we were doing enforcement it changed from the p

we don't and we have never reached our capacity to respond not when we think that we ever would. >> one more question. you don't have to answer, but when i was watching the news recently it was saying that isis has a sale in every state in the country and thes a reality and i know that you can't get into that. >> i know that they did threaten twit and her there was a site believed by the proxy and a threat to facebook because of the certain messages systems being turned off and we are head quartered here in the bay area and san francisco for both and if not for that the founders and so we have been in close contact to the founders of twitter and the people that were threatened as well as twitter and headquarters and reached out those folks are all working with our special investigations difference just to make sure that those folks, their premise and their buildings are safe and if they see something, they say something. >> thank you. >> chief suhr i also want to thank you for coming here and appreciate you taking the time. >> sure. >> to address us and also for this opportunity to

we want to push back as much as we can. we do not trust iran. i think the chairman is right on the mark. in terms of our concern with the sunset in 10 years or more. another thing that has bothered us again as the chairman mentioned, he and i had legislation that passed the house. which involved strong sanctions. which had been signed into law. -- had it been signed into law i think we would have been in a stronger position. we are sitting in negotiating -- and negotiating over the nuclear program at a time when iran is a bad actor around the world. take a look at capitals that iran essentially controls. yemen being added. damascus. this is not a regime that looks like it wants peace. iran continues to fuel terrorism around the globe. the number one state supporter of terrorism. i believe a nuclear agreement should not whitewash the fact that iran remains a stabilizing actor. the iranian revolutionary guard corps could theoretically take advantage of sanctions relief. how could such relief be structured to minimize any benefits to the iranian re

we have to invest in r&d, we have to make sure that we don't have a hollow force and we have to ensure that we can be an effective piece of what it takes to protect america and americans. and i hope today's hearing will not only focus on the threat of sequestration, but that we'll have a discussion about our economic state where we can invest and where we must save. and again, i thank all of you for being before us and i look forward to having a good discussion and i'm glad so many members have shown to this hearing. i also request unanimous consent to place mr. smith's opening comments into the record, mr. chairman. and i yield back. >> without objection, so ordered. again let me welcome our distinguished panel of witnesses today. we have the honorable john mc -- mchugh, rayo deer know. and so standing in admiral michelle howard, vice chief of naval operations, from the marine core, dunford, and mark welsh, from the air force. thank you for being here. without objection, your full written statements will be made part of the record. and the only other comment i would make is when we ge

if we do not win the battle today, we will win the war. the thing is, we ought to just pass it on its merits as he explained. let me turn now to the head of the energy committee, someone who truly is committed to and all of the above energy approach and demonstrates that leadership on all of the above approach every day in his body and certainly in her leadership of the energy committee. and that is by she speaks on this issue in a way that really everyone should listen to, whether you think it should be fossil fuel, renewables, this is a senator who has supported all of these and i think she has great credibility. i will turn to my colleague from alaska. senator: i think my friend and colleague for your leadership. -- i think my friend and colleague for your leadership. it just seems inconceivable that six plus years, 2350 days, since the company seeking to build the xl first submitted its cross border permit application. it is almost inconceivable. i think my calling from west virginia who just spoke, who articulated some of the myths an

if we had the funding we are suggesting for next year, we would be able to get to a point where we areven more effective. in terms of additional tools across the board if we had a w-2 information return earlier, it would help us significantly. we are also working on legislation requirements that would give us unique identifiers for every w-2, and be able to identify legitimate number -- w-2s. there are some organizations that are trying to file for false or copycat organizations >>. >>. >> in terms of dealing with those who have been victimized, they would assign a single account representative to the victims to help them navigate the case, rather than be frustrated with several different employees. is this something you plan to intellect? -- implement? >> we have moved all of the refund fraud activity into a single location. he is to be spread throughout the agency. there is in fact a single point of contact working these issues. we then have an individual employee who is assigned to each of the 3000 to 5000 taxpayers working their way through. we disagree with that in terms of dealin

we will check in if we can get to that shot the here we will check with carol erickson in a couple minutes. but first after we take this wonderful look from the cbs-3 mobile weather lab we want to get a check of the roads. the it looks like it is just raining right new how are the the rest of the road looking. >> hi, everyone, thanks, katie, as of right now i was trying to figure out where weather lab was. it looks like i-95. traveling mow so in your western shots. this interest sexist trooper and audubon. we will be traveling in this area. snow looks like it is put in but it is snowing out there traveling out and about the one thing i want to caution you is the the roads are slippery due to the rain we experienced before now the change. if you are traveling out and about throughout western suburbs those are areas we are seeing the snow in fact fall. as we change over to the vine street expressway we are experiencing still some rain in the philadelphia a area, if you are traveling going to and from 76 or 95 using both side of the vine street expressway in center city, it will be a slick co

we required them not to blog and then we paid them for the taxes we would have gotten had we logged. for my coal mines but in the modern business, i probably have to secure coal mines, but i won't. we need to keep utilizing the stewardship of what we have been given. i know the local and rural economies used to depend on robust timber industry. we can make legislative changes that enabled the industry to return and tried again and besides improving local economies over time reduce the frequency and severity of wildfire, which i am working with senator crapo and senator wyden on. my side-by-side just precludes repeated extensions of the secure rural schools paid for with tax increases. >> can i have a brief rebuttal? colleagues the pro-program already demonstrates a significant amount of money from blogging. the whole point of legislative effort in the west and other heavily logged area is to increase that the logging area. this does in effect force us to raise the sub one levels many times beyond what is sustainable. i think we will regret that. rural communities will not get the eco

at this point we didn't think necessary we did research and called mold companies turnout they say we don't recommend you redo this and accident architects said by the time you rebuild this building tear it down we spoke to tida they said we can't do permanent housing we're under redevelopment it kept getting weird and the situation bigger so we're still living in this is classrooms we're there to say it's to be routine by the planning commission, and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote ideal situations is a stretch we thought we could handle this and move back in once decided we can't we can't build a new facility and can't move into the old facility we went to the other fire departments outside of the sit city and talked to them they have modular housing we talked about with the mayor's office and work on our current budget on july one to put money on there to purchase modular housing and dpw explicit still contract with p them we looked we were going to purchase we looked at it as purchasing on modular that was built and bring it 80 here to relocation it we talked took sev

we sort through that before we administer the lottery. they are noticed on the website and by our agent. it takes us 15 days to thoroughly review our application, we are going through bank statements, pay stubs, we need to make sure that what you are reporting your income to be is what it is and make sure that you are declaring all of your asset and make sure this is a really safe by for you. assuming everything checks out, the buyer has 10 days to get into contract, once they are in contract they have a 60-day closing period, 45 days to obtain a mortgage. they are working hand in hand with their bmr approved lender to make sure again that they are getting a safe and sound loan, reasonable interest rates, all of those things. once the leoparder submits their final package we drop our loan documents forres escrow and send it to the title company and send the appointment to sign. the documents are sent back to the office and we review and they are successful home owners. i should not in this application process we are changing one thing. as

go west, young man -- we follow that phrase and we explored and we fought and we pioneered. am so concerned about the testimony today the comments you made that we are capturing that imagination like we once were. we are to drive a new innovation. how do we really instill that notion of exploration and really make it reality? the ghost of a heart of what you say. we did a test launch. the test launch of the orion. we did it a top i have the rocket. that would doesn't look like we are planning to carry astronauts until 2021. can this country afford to wait until 2021? can we wait that long? how do we push it up? how do we capture the imagination? to imagine, to aspire? what is it that we need to do to really drive this mission, this idea, this value of space? it is not just reports and paperwork. >> i think it would help to refocus nasa back on what they did to provide that inspiration. i was listening about the stem education. i am a strong believer in. that is what my education was. everybody here's education. we work with astronaut scholarship foundation. we give up 30 or

we are looking to see if we can move that up because of the need we have for that strike capability that will go away when our ssgns, our guided missile submarines retire in the mid 2020s. and finally the ohio class replacement program, the first boat will have to begin in 2021. this is the most survivable leg of our deterrents triad. >> we cannot extend the life of the ohio class any longer. and this is a program that if navy ship building is asked to bear the entire burden of it would take more than half of our shipbuilding budget for 12 years. which would have serious implications to our submarine fleet and all of the rest of our fleet and to the entire navy. so i appreciate congress setting up the fund for the oh class replacement. and i think that this debate has to continue as to how we -- how we fund this. because it is a national program and needs national support for it. and there is history behind it in the first time we did deterrent submarines, 41 for freedom in the late '50s, early '60s and in the oh class both times significant amounts were added to navy shipbuilding to all

we know that. i think the earny duncan number included three and four years old and based on census data so it was confusing. >> do you have anything else to add at this point? >> okay. to add to what you asked supervisor yee first of all to clarify about the earny duncan op-ed that data was collected erroneously from the state and not us locally so that is number one and they looked only at the california state preschool program. they didn't look at the broader number of title v subsidies because if you look at all kids eligible, three and four year olds for state subsidies we're serving 90% in san francisco and many of four year olds are in pfa and many of the three years are. in terms of the question about space we started an analysis and the needs are for the expansion and i don't have the numbers with me. we can get them to the attorney and there might be space needs but some existing facilities used for expansion in the school district. >> that's really important to know because i am looking

we are going over the areas that we have the knowledge of separately. unfortunately i don't know how much background you have and know so i'm going to do a very briefly so i'm not duplicating what might be boring and you can ask any questions you want. i'm going to start by letting you know that our focus started in 2013 on the marketing and branding. that's when we had to determine what strategy we were going to move forward with knowing that this is an existing neighborhood and redevelopment and that's when we started our branding of the community of the san francisco shipyard and candlestick. kand stick has not be branded yet and we are working on it shortly. as pointed out this is an overview of the hill top. this is what we've been doing rendering to help people understand what these are artistic rendering hopefully it will look very closely to what you have approved and formally with our project managers but this is an idea of what we are looking at overall. what i'm going to focus on today is the first 2 blocks that have been sold and the next tw

we used all the capacity when used when we bought the bart system we have to now pay for it and fourth a woo i understand there is runthd user reluctant continues if we did a bridge toll and really investing that p there

and we worked at it and we got it. we have it today. is it perfect? no.ut is it moving in the right direction? you bet it is. in afghanistan, we rescued a flawed election, brought together the parties, were able to negotiate to get a unified unity government. which has both of the presidential candidates working together to hold afghanistan and define its future and create -- and negotiate a bsa that defines our future going forward and give afghanistan a chance to make good on the sacrifices of 14 years of our troops and our contributions, and so forth. on ebola, we led that fight. president obama made a brave decision to send 4,000 young american troops there in order to set up the structure so we had a capacity to be able to try to deal with it. 1 million deaths were predicted by last christmas at the time that we did that. and not all the answers were there for questions that were real. but the president sent those people in. we have made the difference, and now there's a huge reduction in the cases, in liberia, sierra leone, guinea, and we're getting

we both did. georgia was a dj there, and we were there all the time, and so it was very natural that when we performed our first show was, we just threw a party there. the owner let us use the back room to have a party. we played, i think it was like seven times within the first three months in the same club, which -- you know, until we start doing hanakah shows and played eight times in eight days, it seemed ridiculous to play -- but it was that era when you could play all the time in one place. now, for all i know, that's going on in brooklyn right now and younger bands have that same relations >> yeah, it probably happens all over the world >> do you ever total up in your minds or on paper how many times you played at maxwells? >> i tried at one point. i tried to add it up and it was -- >> too depressing >> no, very happy. >> i think of you as a touring band that happens to record rather than a band that records music and puts it out and tours to support that. is that a fair characterization? 1

faith, we read this book and we read to the last chapter and we know that we win. we are grateful for the faith that keeps us going every day, but we also note any journey is taken one step at a time. so our victory is a sure -- is assured when we take another step, and we walked together and don't get wary. when we take another step toward freedom and justice knowing that all things are good and those who love the lord and are called to its purpose. we take another step knowing no weapon against us will be able to stop us. we take another step knowing that the lord is my life and my celebration. whom shall i fear? of whom shall i be afraid we take another step knowing that i -- that eyes of not seen any years of not heard and neither has it entered the heart of man and a great things that are in store for all of us if we just keep the faith.

we can do it, but if we don't have the -- we can do it in this ad hoc way. if we don't have, as lee said before, the kind of intervention and strategies that promote this all throughout the country, they will still be outliers as opposed to the norm. neera tanden: thank you, randi. randi was talking about place-based strategies. matching up human capital with economic development. i want to talk to you about how a number of urban areas are facing she's issues of inferior housing, failing schools. one of the initiatives that secretary castro talked about was promise zones. which is really looking at the fact that today research shows that a person's zip code has more to do with their life expectancy than their genetic code. how do we really directly address those -- what's happening to the individual in that community? promise zones someone of the initiatives. can you tell us how that helps tackle some of these challenges and what you're seeing from your experience? >> thanks. i want to echo what an honor it is to be part of a distinguished panel this morning

today just as we have rules of the road we we will need rules for the sky as well. i believe i believe that we can achieve both, protect privacy and give like to this new technology that we will bring jobs and economic growth to our country. unfortunately today when it comes to privacy protection for the american people we're flying blind flying at potentially spying robots sound like science fiction, but they are a reality right now. the technology is getting cheaper and more accessible. this drawn here has two cameras that can be easily purchased. online for only $100. two cameras flying over everyone's house in the united states. the faa has given exemptions to nearly 50 commercial 50 commercial operators and announced today it is planning to exploit the process so that drones can fly in the national airspace with no clear privacy rules. today operators are allowed to collect whatever information they want about you and i and can then use or sell that information however they choose which is why earlier this month i introduced the drone aircraft privacy and trans

but we knew we had to. because we were worried for a sense, then in high school, that they would grew up in the great state we grew up in. as a parent, that is unacceptable. so we got to the election, we won that title. it was all the better because when we faced all the grief we did four years ago, it was worth it because if it had just been about a title or position, we might have backed down. but because we knew it was because of our sons, matt and alex, and all the sons and daughters like them and yet to be born, we knew it was with standing up and fighting for. we knew that even though -- the groups -- we knew the tactics they were using in our state are like the texas -- tactics they use around the country. instead of intimidating us, it reminder us exactly who elected us. from that point toward, we never lost floor. and that is what we need more of in america today. [applause] today, as much as i am proud, as jennifer talked about, the transformational changes we have made in our state, i am proud of
