We didnt learn from it and thats the problem. A panel from left form a leftwing progressive Conference Held annually in new york city. Chris hedges cut cornell west and Richard Wolfe talk about the importance of thomas paine and his influential work commonsense, the rights of man and the age of reason. This is about one hour and 20 minutes. These are the times and showed davis told the Forum Last Night for deep thinking and analysis. Feminist analysis of the link between the issues. Among those we live in the nation that looks 7 million of us behind bars that engaged in its longest most costly war on terror even 46 million face that of hunger and poverty at home and forces many to sign up to serve in the same. We live in a nation where the richest 0. 1 , those with 20 million or more have doubled the share of the nations wealth since the 1960s. Under the system of the prices, monopoly capitalism and financial position of every date down to our homes that is of the top 1,000 as is the p
For the others. Okay. Next item. Item 12 b, update on proposed legislation. Bill sterns, commissioners, again i think weve gone through some of the Key Highlights already. Pat 36 already filled in on the seismic retrofitting. I would say as i understand it supervisor kim has come trailing legislation also tied to the retrofit on hardship through issues and that will help at the committee when at the board during the month of september. Im told the Land Use Committee and full board will probably approve those amendments relative to the board of examiners and some of those technical issues that mr. Roslyni just described to you. That will get approved in the next month. On our side i will say that we have now published through the reproduction office in english, cantonese and spanish an information borrow brochure on the retrofit program. Well begin handing those out in chinatown when director was showing off his ping pong skills this past saturday. A number of people are beginning to pi
The year with 22. 63 million compared to budget, there are still some entries that get made after the books are closed to the department. And they are, some last minute things that occur. And but we dont expect this to change very much. This consists of 28. 5 million in additional revenues over the budget and 6. 11 million in savings. And we do plan to transfer 6. 34 in deferred credits for permits that have been submitted but not all of the revenues have been earned. And we talked about this in the past. And in terms of the way that the actual budget occurred. This is the graph that i have up here on the screen, and the budget in the charges for service, and the permits issued in 2013, with 36 percent greater than 11 12 and as we know there has been a lot of large, very large projects that came in, in 12, 13, and there were 9. 37 more permits issued. And this is going to possibly start slowing down. We are starting the specifications for the fee study to ensure that we are charging th
Director did approve, kind of a swat team to try to move these applications forward quickly, i am told by the building inspector who is leading that effort that the week of september the 14th, they will be doing 16 inspections a week. And they have been doing roughly about ten right now. And so, they are getting a combined team of electrical plumbing, and building together so that they can go through these applications and actually make these inspections and generate the report as quickly as possible. And i mean it is possible, of course, that tomorrow, we will see, a big number come in. That we cannot really anticipate. Interestingly enough, dpws restores has also told us that they were expecting a lot of applications, to date they have had 51. So, again, it is far below, the volume that might be in there. And at any rate, i would say that, we are prepared internally to move this legislation forward as quickly as possible. Thank you. Is there any commissioner comment on this. Any Publ

Tom, who is taking over for pam when she leaves . My thinking is i will temporarily have gail to temporarily hold up the road for the others. Okay. Next ite
