i can't use it. what use is it if i have $3,000 why can't i use this money to get my teeth fixed? she said oh, really? do you work? she talked to the dealership and they reimplemented the flex plan in. so i was able to get part of the money to pay for it. meanwhile, this was back in october. she got it reimplemented in november, i believe. so i got the money but still, from october until now, i still have temporary teeth in because i can't afford to get the rest of the work done. tomorrow morning i'm actually going to get the teeth put in. but it just seems to me the way this is set up and i can see it. i used to be a business owner. they put all of these limitations down so that at the end of the year you can get the money back so they don't have to -- and that's why they put all the limitations on it. so i just wanted to come here. i have two other guys at the shop that wanted to come here but they decided not to because they were afraid to come and talk about the situation. i just wanted to come and tell you guys what is really going on out there and the fact that it is not jus

this does garbage i mean if that's the case then you don't let us off the base you let us off the base there's going to be issues. i heard on the news one day about a okinawan girl had been raped by united states military men and i was very upset over this because. i remember how we treat sort of treated you know can only people when i was here as a set as an eighteen year old and eventually some a peace activist i'm in touch with me and they had a contact here in okinawa and when they found out that i had been stationed here they let the n.t. based. people here know that there's an exploration who was stationed here who's doing piecework now in america and so they invited me to come back to do so we took a lecture so that was one nine hundred ninety six and that's when i came back and as we moved around the ireland and i saw the bases was still here i just couldn't believe it this it's. it's almost like a cancer here for these people a day since the end of world war two these spaces have been here. this is something the americans should know what happens when we open bases in other pe

support us. in the net i do use the land to grow lots of white radish take on where i don't want them less so that i could grow millions of them and that little space more knowledge i can let it work it out i'll get on i would then distribute them freely to the people of okinawa in the name of peace cannot touch your ideas you have. their moment there are me throughout iraq at their. own as we all stay united in the struggle there are now i'm confident we can prevail. you cannot i work together or if we don't speak out against the fast of our lands we will never be able to change the world. that it would kind of make your hear. and on about it we have to keep our camp in there. with a balance the only way we can prevail but they could. have my biggest strength and. our path is one of resistance not terrorism. we're here to provide a safe and secure environment for everybody regardless of what it the group they are in to make sure that people have the freedom of movement that kids can go to school

employees come to us and ask what is the best way or a proper way to use that money. they would usually like the money to accrue over time, so if they are faced with a medical emergency they would have access to that money, if they were in the hospital with a broken bone after a bike accident. as you know, that can easily cost $6,000. the inability to allow the money to accrue over time and have access to it leaves a number of workers feeling as though they are in a conundrum as to how best to utilize that money, because you are turning that money back on them. there are employers who are taking advantage of this opportunity to restrict and make it difficult for workers. >> do you have a hard number on that in the last year? are there a hard number of them lawyers that you have had to investigate? >> it does not lead to investigation. it has been construed to be a permissible way to meet the requirement. >> thank you. president o'brien: thank you. supervisor campos: if i may call for a very brief presentation -- brendan munos conducted a study for the office of labor

stay with us on mosaic ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> you are with us on mosaic and we are glad. today we are talking about retreats and we are looking at them through the eyes of valimbrosa retreat center a ministry of the archdiocese of san francisco it is in menlo park down the street from a foster freeze i love and father thanks so much. there is so much to talk about retreats, we can't cover it all today we invite everyone to visit your website www.valimbrosa.org and they can find out so much more and contact you. we just want to open the door but there are things we do want the open the door on one is you say you have a revised advisory board, user friendly website and post card ministry talk to us. >> well, let me start with the post card ministry that is brand new we are just starting. we actually do two thing s with the post card ministry, in every retreat, there is a post card and a little thing that says i am on retreat and while i am here i am praying for you and we encourage the retreatist to fill it out and send it to someone they love. >> wow. >> put down the date

we have to look at things on a case by case, use by use basis, and we would consider this sort of thing. protective glazing, wired glass, we see traditionally all over. >> so we've got wired glass here. you know, it's a product that we used to sell a lot of. but almost a product whose time has come. i mean this is an obscure wire glass, with -- it's rated 45 minutes for fire. but the problem is there's no impact. so this is not -- at one time, you could put this in a fire door, only in a -- there was a time when they put this in shower doors. and so clearly that's not legal anymore, with good reason, besides the fact that all of the wires rusted. there's some pretty nasty-loo nasty-looking shower doors that we replaced. the other thing is it's not terribly strong, cracks easily, and -- >> if you put your hand through it, or to it, you can get seriously injured. it looks like it's supposed to be safe. it is actuall actually not terre for human impact. >> so at this point, there are some -- because it's got wires in it, you really couldn't temper it before. now i believe there is somebody

us do exactly that purpose. once we have that online, we expect to have that in place by september, october of this year. then we can start tracking the signs by age, which is the primary way to make sure that we keep up with the standards of reflectivity. once we do that, i think our next goal is to tackle the traffic markings. it's a similar type of situation. we have a manual software to keep track of that information, but not to the extent that we like. again, we are fortunate because we see from years ago that we have a synergy with public works. a lot of the pavements are in such poor conditions, the surface is so rough that the markings would not adhere to them. so in some ways, we're tied in with t.p.w.'s work program. so we take advantage when they repave the streets and we go in and remark the markings on fresh, new pavement. and that's last anywhere from eight to 12 years, although we decided several years ago to ask that we turn over the striping every eight years. so on the average, we are doing tha

but at this point, right here and now, let us continue moving forward what is with us and i thank you for your time from all perspectives that have been here today. supervisor mar: i want to thank the young people who came out today. the former foster use, to put a human face on it, and the children from the booker t. washington center and the members of the community who came out to express neighborhood concerns. it gave us a human element the difficulty of balancing the needs. supervisor mirkarimi has provided a number of objects -- a number of amendments. can we take those without objection? it has been moved we move this forward without objection. before we get to item number two, can we take a five minute break to clear the room and just come back at 3:52. five minutes recess. supervisor we're back from recess. could you call item no. 2? >> or december 2nd -- changing sidewalk with between fremont and harrison street. >> this is a request in conjunction with a development going up at 333 harrison street , also part of the streetscape plan. there is an official 8 foot wide sidewal

you can use it in the shower... >> it's an all-in-one product that you can use throughout your whole house. >> now i want to show you how the x5 goes from being one of the best steam mops you'll ever use to being one of the best handheld steamers you'll ever use. all i've got to do is unclick the handle like this, push the button on the base of the mop-- now i've got one of the best handheld steamers you'll ever use. one-touch operation will heat this steam up to 230 degrees in less than 30 seconds. you can use this to clean every surface in the kitchen, and i'm gonna start with the kitchen sink. come and take a look at this. if you've got a garbage disposal and you've got odors, all you've got to do is place the x5 handheld unit down one side and look at the steam rise out of the other side. you're cleaning, you're deodorizing and you're sanitizing using the power of steam with no chemicals. now all i'm gonna do is turn it off and grab the jet nozzle. and i love the jet nozzle because what it does, it actually concentrates the steam. look how quickly this fires up. look at the way t

to my knowledge, we have never processed at a conditional use authorization for a formal retail use for a financial service. occasionally they may required use based on an underlying zoning district. ther conditional use required for the subject property. goi reported the issues that wee raised, and the planning commission acknowledged this has happened before, and we have consistently said they are not formula of retail use. they are not subject to a formula of retail controls -- to formula retail controls. we said we have a hearing to discuss formal retail controls in general, and this could be considered as a revision if this is an issue, and when they were adopted, it was partly based on proliferation of french banks, and that resulted in the lake and 1970's and 1980's, and you will find that as a separate line issue. the commission has requested that hearing be held in conjunction with a hearing introduced regarding for miller retail controls for pet food usage in the special use district, and i think that is currently scheduled for sometime in mid-july and july, so we would try to

s useful life 20 years? >> in some cases, on little-used streets, they do not need to be reserved for 40 years. what really impacts the street is heavy vehicular traffic. then we are doing what mtc and their pavement management program requires, that we spend a certain amount of money on preventive maintenance, not maintenance. that is where we get into slurry sealing and crack sealing. if those things are done at the right time of the life cycle of the pavement, greatly extends the life of that asset. if we do the salary ceiling -- slurry sealing, then we will not need to do crack ceisealing. all of those are considered capital assets, and they are all, i have to tell you, extremely good practices, in terms of minimizing the city's investment in its infrastructure. supervisor chu: and how doelong, for example, does a slurry seal extend the life of the street? >> 20 years. and it is a very cost-effective treatment. part of the entire life cycle of the pavement requires us to do that kind of treatment and it

they use that to get around a law. these are ideas of how responsible businesses are being hurt by the fact there is a loophole for undue incentives. we believe and workers of small businesses are connected and workers really need the support of the commission at. >> following, and we have -- [list of names] >> i am the executive director of the san francisco labor council. we represent people who do have the benefit. we are proud to work withi the supervisor to really work hard to put this legislation together, and supervisor campeau'os is saying we are note to debate. and when it comes down to it, the coalition knew that the intent of this legislation was to provide health care to workers. that is the intent, and what really disturbs us from some of the studies but have taken place, all of the individual stories we hear from different workers hamas -- different workers, and the fact that less than 20% of that money is actually going to healthcare is extremely disturbing because we think there are people who want to t

there are allegations that his troops are using sex and drugs and using rape. our next report contains emotional and disturbing footage from one woman that says she is a rape victim. >> looked at what gadhafi's militia did to me. look how they violated my honor. the scenes played out in front of a tripoli hotel in march. she said that she had been kidnapped and gang raped by troops. she was soon carried away. now the u.n. ' s chief prosecutor says that there was evidence that rape was used as a political weapon. they were given aniti-impotence drugs to help them to attack women. >> we are getting the information back in detail concerning the policy. we are trying to see who is involved. >> the prosecutors issued warrants for gadhafi's arrest last month. now they are considering rape charges. >> she managed to leave libya and is now recovering from her ordeal in romania. >> more syrians are fleeing their country as the country continues their crackdown on protesters. turkey says they are taking in about 2500 people. turkish ambulances have been standing by to ru

but when you think of the use of duct tape, there are other uses of that. certainly i've come across cases where duct tape is used not necessarily as the mechanism of the homicide, but in order to have the body or what the body is placed in be more easily transported. duct tape is used to bind a body. the fact that you have it up around the mouth certainly makes it somewhat suspicious. and duct tape has been found to be used in homicides of young individuals. i mean it definitely does occur. but another explanation, this body had been at the residence for an extended period of time decomposing. i think it's reasonable even to suggest that duct tape was placed over the mouth and nose simply because those are the areas where the fluid is initially going to come from. >> that's where decomposition fluid initially comes out of first? >> right. and that's going to happen very early on, within at least the first couple of days. maybe within a day you're going to have fluid coming from these areas. so if she is deceased and you have fluids coming from the areas, i

i am going to take a couple of guns i don't use and use others. the major thing we have to look at is prevention. we have so many different levels of things we have to use. we can't just say, okay. drop your gun off, you're cool. that's not a shot at the program. we need that problem. but we need these other programs and dealing with the parents and families. we just first grader at cleveland. i worked at cleveland. he probably found the gun. stuffed it in his back and went to school. >> nobody knew >> all my friend that is have guns. it's because it's for protection. because they don't want to be caught without a gun. if you're without a gun, there's more of a chance you're going to get hurt yourself. >> i guess the question is how do we make people feel safe in our communities? the issue is how do we need to get people to feel like they don't need a gun. >> you got video games that allow them to placate the attitudes. we have movies that make millions of dollars of that attitude created from our community. yes, we must do this, we must look at

[applause] >> good evening, commissioners. my name is angel ca and i'm part of the good neighbor coalition. the mayor's proposed condition for development agreement is -- establishes a good starting point for improvements of the cpmc project. therefore, we are disappointed to hear that cpmc feels it's too much, when they are the largest health care industry in the bay area. we think equally that in order for this project to serve san francisco's best interests, cpmc can and must do more to address those issues and others outside the scope of the mayor's proposal. that is why we're calling on cpmc to negotiate a community benefits agreement directly with san francisco stakeholders that builds on and extends beyond the mayor's proposed conditions. why do we need a development agreement and a community benefits agreement? well, cpmc's long history of disregarding workers' interests and reneging on its commitment to the community sh

i used to live not far from here. i used to walk my dog upon the hill there. it is so great to see the transformation of this space. it is something i want to see in my neighborhood as well. it does not happen without the leadership of the grass-roots level. we're there to support it, but the leadership is not there from the community, it does not happen. it is my great pleasure to bring forth a great leader in this community mr. julian wyler. [applause] >> welcome to this point guard in v -- vista point guard. there are a lot of people who are not here today who contributed to make this possible. there are a lot of other people who come here and work and put in various parts of the garden, especially the unsung heroes of the volunteers in the neighborhood. working together and staying focused, this neighborhood has reached out and made partnerships with the city. we have worked together. we get more done that way. it is a real synergy. these gardens to them exist five years ago. they were all neglected, blighted, like a cross the street where you still see ar

it is inappropriate use of the building and the land. the neighborhood is a perfect context for the proposal. it preserves a beautiful historical assets that we agree need preservation and adds a space for uses that enhance the neighborhood. as is often the case, we end up -- the housing is almost incidental. we argue about parking. when i was at the last hearing on this project, i said this was an under-a valued asset and that i would be nervous standing before you with there was a waiting list to get into the garage. it was turning away business and it was full all the time. as far as i can tell, that is not the case. i said the neighbors themselves don't value this asset. that is not to duplicate them. it is to say that, by objective economic measurement, it is not valued for its original use. like anywhere else, the people in this never would appear to be making rational economic decisions and availing themselves of the subsidized parking on the street. this parking inside this building is market rate and it does not appear to have t

i use it quite a bit. but the problem was, they made a software update to their code, and when they made that update, they accidentally left the front door unlocked. so that meant for about four hours earlier this week, anyone, as long as i knew your user name, i could get access to your files. i did not need a password to get access. that was an error they made on their end that they didn't catch for four hours. >> mario, a lot of people have some concerns about the cloud and security, and maybe this was an error on their part. it sounded like human error here. but, still, is this going to hurt in the future and kind of point out to some people that, hey, you know, like i was just discussing with you, a security guy, i read a quote that said, hey, only put something on the cloud that you don't mind giving away. >> yeah, like, keeping your front door unlocked if you really don't have any valuables that you don't mind people walking away with. so that whole premise of the cloud kind of falls apart. so on on

to use all of his capability. and that would include drones for strikes if he gets the intelligence. >> peter, how does saleh's condition change the equation here, for better or for worse? >> well, saleh is clearly -- i mean, i don't think he's coming back to the country. i mean, he's gone and clearly the post-saleh era has begun in yemen. as fran said, we've got a situation where not only drones but american jets are being used. that's quite a departure. there has been a relatively small u.s. special forces presence in yemen, about 75, and obviously, there's a cia presence. these assets are being used to put as much pressure on al qaeda as possible. there are reports in the "l.a. times" also this evening that elements of al qaeda have shown up in a town in the south and so it's an opportunity but also a problem in the sense that, yes, the vacuum may allow greater space for the united states to operate, but the same vacuum is allowing al qaeda a greater space to operate. >> fran, at this point, how important is ye

so this is a big surprise to us and left us with lots of emotions, and we have yet to understand exactly what this all means to all of us, including to our community. it is therefore that we are asking for a continuance and asking for some time to just process this and take a look at where at all its with us and our family and business and community. commissioner olague: thank you. >> when she told me about this, i became concerned because there were a lot of people back will be affected. i'm not sure what the implications are of these changes, and i think that's -- that it would be necessary to have some time to process this. any changes can be scary for the employees, not just for the owner. i have been part of the mission community for over 20 years, and i have been there -- well, i am not sure how this works, but i thought about the balance. is this going to interrupt the balance that there is in the business? it could be good. it could be bad, but we are not sure. i think that it would be necessary to have a little time to process and see what the implications or the changes are. th

well it's about a year or sense that spy drama unfolded take us back and remind us how it happened . indeed well just a little over a year a year ago the international media and of course the u.s. media was frenzied by the news of a so-called spy ring the boss did in the united states on the east coast ten people ten russian citizens of hughes dove espionage for russia were brought up on charges . a leader found guilty of being on registered agents of a foreign government they were not convicted of espionage but that didn't do much to dissuade the press from calling it a russian spy ring those ten people were later exchanged with us spies really imprisoned in russia that us walk was made in europe in vienna and those ten people accused of being on registered agents in the united states all returned to russia all but one a citizen of the rule of the keep the law is she actually returned to her home country we know that upon arrival here in russia most of them received a very warm welcome was actually met with a russian president who did say that they will be getting state awards for s

number on a list of mad at somebody that was using the same path he was using to be. on that note i mean kind of kind of that you can question i mean we had mark foley instant messaging underage pages we had who was a christian shirtless congressman on craigslist i mean we're going to see legislation coming out to ban these guys from meeting using technology they're obviously not handling it you're not you you have twitter first was available to members of congress and the rest of us there were some struggles in the house of representatives especially about how twitter qualified under the rules with which members of congress communicate with their constituents that part of their. work blackberry versus personal blackberry can you do it on the floor can you can you advocate for your political positions or you just have to say hi lucy i'm here members of congress i'm here they struggle with those much they struggled with those issues the they mostly so if you're not going to see any legislation what you are going to see is a lot more members using social media a lot mor

use. when you are talking about contacting, there is contacting and then there is obviously the administration of the contract. i believe that we have both items in a tight focus. we have meetings every week to discuss these. >> i am talking as much about the requirements, too. >> can i add a little bit to that, commissioner? part of the context that is being laid out, we are talking about roots security. a big part of the mrap purpose -- moving individuals. the military mission was room security before. the contractors out with the maintenance, thank goodness. but wonder% of the drivers and those and -- 100% of those drivers and those individuals -- you come under fire sometimes and you have to suppress that fire. that is all united states army. they did not have contractors. when you assume that portion of the mission and they all go home, you have a different requirement plan in contacting. the reason i bring that up, ambassador, you talk about operations and maintenance. i am not sure

give us the name and number. that is what we care about, to make sure that people are being discriminated in housing. and in community programs, we talk about funding issues. part of what we have done, we give money to the city of san francisco. when we give money to the state. we need to let them know what to do with that money because we give them the money and it is their decision to hear your voice. what about you? what about these programs. you have the mayor, you have your representatives. show them what is important to you because they are supposed to serve you. they're there for you. and don't forget you have some powerful voices. we have the bags and stuff, take them home with you. >> thank you, maria. so far, and closing activity, we are going to go around the roundtable and we will stand for this. the question that we posed earlier was, if president obama were to walk to the store and you were to give him one policy recommendation to approved -- to improve the lives of use, what will it be? almost all

on our part, shame on us. i want you to hold us accountable, too. i think that defense of community, and i said that i grew up in san francisco unified. we went from one school to the next. my children also, i have noticed from going to a specific middle school, it is a really big transition time. not just about the middle school and the sense of responsibility of meeting new students, but your whole body is really changing. they come in and they leave about 5 foot 6. it is a hard thing friend -- to navigate. by 17 they kind of get over it. but it's a big hump. i've seen cohorts of students move with their peers that they have already worked things out. the working out of the little arguments. there is a sense of support there. there is a sense of support for parents also4ev and for security for students. it is a hard thing to navigate. especially a large middle school of 1200 kids. do i think our middle schools need help? i think they need desperately -- desperate help. i encourage you to help as well. having said that, i think i am in favor of thi

it helps us further understand a strong need of us continuing on this track of providing for the 50 units of housing. at the same time, i think we have well acknowledged and well- respected the efforts and our offices to gather in reaching out to the neighbors of trying to find some common ground. in an area, by the way, that has not a pleaded seat -- fluidity of an area that has multistory buildings. the genesis of this is that the supervisor asked for my support of the 55-bit unit building. when her successor came in, it was the same exact request. we're not being fickle here, we are being consistent. it is important that with that continuity of supporting that project, this is exactly on track with everything that we have been sagging. we very much appreciate -- everything that we have been saying. we have had this conversation and we are arrived at the right place. >> thank you. i want to thank my colleagues for facilitating this and fort -- for shaping our dialogue on this issue so that we can have disagreements and do it respectfully. i do support this at 55 feet. i would have suppo

many of us are here tonight. we feel it is important for us to be able to stay together and move together in the middle school. and especially because i live within walking dis÷8g of the middle school. there were no other people that we knew. instead of going into a lot of our stories, we have been extremely saddened and frustrated the last couple of months. we tried as much as we could to work within the system. we have been writing letters. we want to make it work. we are public school advocates and we are extremely active in our schools. we invested lots and lots of time. we also donated money and we want to stay within the public schools. we feel like we're being pushed out because we are not willing to accept going across town with nobody we know. when we only have three years and that sort of thing. we feel like we're being as or we are being pushed out to look for private schools. charter schools, home schooling, all of that stuff. i never called a private school until last week when i saw how dismal the

he joins us on the line. just give us the latest on the situation on the violence today. >> yes. hello there. today gaddafi's forces vb launched a brutal attack from three sides on the city of misrata. on the east and on the east and in the south. the strongest attack was in the east. gaddafi's forces were using grad missile launchers as well as mortars and heavy artillery guns. the attack had gun -- begun and started about 5:00 a.m. of tuesday and have continued until two 4:00 or 5:00 p.m., the total casualties we have, 10 dead and about 38 wounded people, most of them in serious condition. >> the wounded, have they been able to get to hospital? have you been able to treat at least some of them? >> yes, we are trying all this, actually, trying to cope with the serious conditions that we're dealing with but unfortunately we areÑi lacking the necessary staff and medical equipment as usual and also the well-qualified staff to deal with the serious war injuries. >> and how are the rebels managing to sustain their positions? obviously it seems that colonel gaddafi is very keen to en

the plant that is in front of us -- the plan that is in front of us represents everything that we have identified as technically feasible irrespective of the unit costs, which is a pretty -- you know, that is a pretty sign commitment. i just wanted to draw that out. finally, i wanted to return for a minute to the wholesale part of it. i fully appreciate the comfort that some derive from the fact that we have assumed in here that we will continue after 2018 with the same limitation that we currently have in place. i understand that is an assumption. i understand why it gives comfort to some folks. the difficulty is that it obscures how much work has to be done to make that possible, and if we were to make a different assumption, if we were to make an assumption that we would serve water above 184 mgd, to the extent that that was needed by our wholesale customers and was the best environmental decision that that could make, then we would have a different picture. it would not show as being in balance in 2035. would show that there is a challenge that we have to meet, to either free up so

you are welcome to join us up here. if anyone's need -- if anyone needs language translation, but the volunteer staff over here know. i want for people to know the number of representatives -- they have the tables in the back. and maybe after this particular town hall, you may want to engage in see how you can help to get involved. i want to thank everyone for being here. we are going to leave the town hall to questions. many of these questions are written out. if you would like to ask a question, you can do so. if you want to -- i am more than happy to a identify who wrote the question. mr. wagner? >> thank you. i am the budget director, and my role with the city is try to -- trying to work with the mayor to make decisions about how we are going to balance the budget. i will be brief but i want to take you through a couple pieces of information about what we are facing over the next couple of months as we try to balance the budget, and we touched on a number of the big themes. but a couple of numbers behind us, as you

that will help us greatly. it is going to take time for people to begin to use a different paradigm in how they think about laying out the services for children. but that will really help us in potentially freeing up staff to be used more flexibly. at the same time, as we do professional development, staff will build their capacity to provide services. the work we are doing around improving instruction overall and the core curriculum is really going to help. the other recommendation in the audit report around implementing tier systems of intervention around academics and behavior will help. as we know as we look at that, that is called rti, focusing on the court, a solid frame and foundation of instruction. that is ultimately going to help all kids be successful. that will help us rely less heavily on paraprofessionals and help us integrate the services into our classrooms so we do not have rigid recommendations for many kids to be served in a self-contained model. it is called inclusion because the kids would

not a study that gives us juxtaposition to show this is what could help us in lieu of us being able to not have to do academy class is over the next 12 months 24 months in dealing with the retirement rates. >> the limited data we have from the trial period would lead us to believe that drop is actually having a counter fact, that officers are actually retiring sooner than they would have without the program. that is the experience of the pilot period. but whether the behavior would continue in the future is in the conversation about how big the sample size needs to be before you are able to pull apart all these different factors that influence is someone's retirement. supervisor mirkarimi: if there was not any of the limitations that existed on that question of it having a counter of fact, what would be the response by the controllers office on how to correct that? so that you correct it so that it would not have that particular fact. >> i know that we are aware of nuanced differences between drop programs that exist in different places. we have not specifically studied the question

don't get us involved. because they are good soldiers and when they get their orders, they are going to salute and go follow through on the orders. we are the body that must step forward and say, enough. mr. president, we are not responsible to the arab league, to nato, or to the u.n. we are responsible to the american people. so though i don't like the exceptions i will vote for this. it's taking a step in the right direction. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from washington. mr. smith: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield one minute to the gentlelady from michigan, mrs. miller. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from michigan is recognized for one minute. mrs. miller: mr. speaker, i intend to vote no on this resolution. we just voted on a resolution on whether or not to authorize in libya and this house overwhelmingly voted no. no to authorizing that. i have been opposed to this action in libya. i have not been persuaded the u.s. has a

the doctors have used terms like that. they've used "remarkable." phrases like "leaps and bounds." you see that in these photographs. you know, people shouldn't get the wrong impression, though. the congresswoman suffered a severe injury to one of the most sensitive parts of the human body. her road to recovery is going to be a long one. >> and on gabby giffords' facebook page as you mentioned hundreds of people have posted comments sending her well wishes. i think well above 600 comments at this point and more than 1,600 people liking the new photos. c.j. says the plan is to have her moved from the houston rehabilitation center by the end of the month so she will stay in houston, but she's going to contin continue with outpatient treatment. >> one thing you cannot fake is a smile. you can tell the smile there, very genuine. lisa sylvester in washington for us, thanks so much. >>> some international headlines now. look at that plume of volcanic smoke and ash shooting high into the sky in southern chile. airlines are keeping planes on the ground for safety's sake. thousands of passe

of us you know people among us who are going to end up drug addicts whether it's alcohol or nicotine or or whatever it may be and and that therefore you're never going to stamp it out using only the police but you have to bring the health department into this oh sure absolutely i mean if you look at the percentage of americans that are addicted to hard drugs it's basically unchanged that's what it was about one point three percent before we started this war on drugs and it's about one point three percent now but we do know what does work you know look at tobacco that's a perfect example right now about half as many high school seniors smoke cigarettes as did thirty years ago but in the last twenty years the percentage of high school seniors that smoke marijuana has doubled so what this report really argues is ok let's look at the science look at the let's look at the epidemiological data and then you know look at best practices in other countries and make a policy that works and certainly you know harm reduction and and approaching this problem as a public health issue rather than a

america used various means political. another's outside the boundaries of due legal process to get victor boot that means that victor boot is not getting a fair deal to this day tire fishel is has not provided official documents explaining the legal grounds behind boots extradition this despite repeated inquiries made by the russian foreign ministry that. we know for sure that on november sixteenth two thousand and turn that the moment a little bit to beat was physically taken out of the time prison his case was being considered by the thai court of appeals that is why there are no legal grounds for him to face a u.s. court. meantime victor boot remains in the u.s. prison held in solitary confinement his wife doubts her husband will receive a fair trial from the country she says violated international and bilateral laws to get him. that it's clear to everyone that the case has long been moved from the sphere of law to politics i think or rather i would love to think that the american court is unbiased but i have strong do
