the city of emeryville is in my district, it has a dense population of nearly 10,000 residents and a 1.2 square mile region. although much smaller in size than the neighboring city of san francisco, this small city has become a leader in interagency cooperation and for the new economy innovation. on behalf of the city of emeryville, now, this was the only request that i made, i requested $600,000 to help finance the sizement retrofitting of the city's principle and only emergency community gathering and housing facility in the event of a natural disaster. it's the enry -- emery unified high school gymnasium. they've used these funds to finance 15% of the initial costs for phase one of the project for seismic planning and development which in total would cost about $4 million. the balance of the funding will come from redevelopment funds directly from the city of emeryville and also an anticipated local bond of between $40 million and $75 million, that would also direct some funds to the project. the remainder of the necessary capital, which is expected to finish this project, will wi

it has the youngest age distribution amongst population of cities that we looked at. but it also has the coldest summers. it's very clear where heat frequent and infrequent they will learn to adapt. they will learned in france. so many people died of 2003 because of lack of air conditioning. we don't want this artificial air. you should see what air conditioner sales did between swe and 2006 in france and the political process adapted. where you could go if it was hot that had this wonder called air conditioning. and mortality dropped dramatically. we saw the same thing in chicago. the great heat wave of the mid-1990s resulted in 700 excess deaths in one weekend. a similar heat wave took place a few years later and excess death toll was minimal. the city adapted. elected officials does not do well when bodies fill up in the street when it gets hot. but back to the climate of extremes. i have two more examples. of simply not checking the facts. these two are shocking to me and will demonstrate the bipartisan nature of this particular climate of extremes. my favorite he

what proportion of the population lives in cities, to what extent to the protesters represent the people of iran? >> i did not hear the last part of your question. >> to what extent to the protesters represent the people of iran? >> you have people from all walks of life walking those streets. even including the clerics and members of the militias that are part of the system, who also show solidarity or some kind of coordination with complicity. i think it is very broad based. it is not limited just to the intelligentsia or a group of students. no, it is people all ages and all walks of life in the society that are in defiance, collective defiance, of this regime. >> mondawmin for middle east truth. as you know, mir hossein mousavi was a member of the republican guard and had to be selected by the clerics even in order to run. you really feel that this is about the election and the corruption of the ballot box, or that what we're seeing in the streets is just the final straw on the back of the pressure cooker of people that are yearning to be free? >> iranians will examine with much scru

it has the youngest age distribution amongst the population of cities that we looked at. but it also has the coldest summers so it's very clear. where heat excursions are frequent, people are adapted and there's not very much mortality and where they are infrequent they will begin to adapt. they did in france. in france so many people died in 2003 because of lack of air conditioning. it was thought to be an american invention. we don't want this artificial air. you should see what air conditioners sales did between 2003 and 2006 in france. and the political process adapted. shelters were set up where you could go if it was hot that had this wonder called air conditioning. and mortality dropped dramatically. we saw the same thing in chicago. the great heat wave in the mid-1990s had 700 excess deaths. a similar heat wave took place and excess death toll was minimal. the city adapted. nobody -- elected officials do not do well when bodies pile up in the street when it gets hot. adaptation occurs of global warming. i have two more examples of simply not checking the facts. th

we have a large cities population in my part of the state. -- we have a large sudanese population in my part of the state. there is no question that language that simply writing a prescription and telling them what to do is going to have them follow through. you have to understand who to communicate with in the family structure in order for them to hear to that treatment. >> isn't that true of low-income whites as well? i know a position that was running a clinic in a very low income white area and found exactly the same problem. >> that is why i go back to at least understanding those differences. >> that is a social class difference. >> i am not sure if it is social class difference. it is much more broadly to look at it. my point was that it needs to be given the whole issue of one's culture and cultural competency. unfortunately, recent reports show that less than half of health care academic institutions have mandatory courses on cultural competency. in fact, there has been a push in a couple of states to require some continuing education on cultural competency it so that you ca

some were from large cities and towns with large populations and others came from the smaller cities, actually call them very small towns with fewer people and resources. whoever we spoke to, and wherever we were, we all her the same concerns: we need a better health care system. and we need it now. in response, i was pleased to join with several of my colleagues as we continued to work on health care reform this year. as the ranking member on the health, education, labor and pensions committee and in my service on the senate finance committee and in my service on the budget committee i have been working to facilitate a constructive dialogue with my colleagues on both committees. i've also met with the president and administration officials on numerous occasions so we could chair ideas on how to best craft a strong, bipartisan bill. as the debate on health care reform proceeds i top to stand ready to work on this critical issue. this is likely to be the most important legislation that we will ever work on as members of the senate. no matter how terms we serve. how well we handle this

in population. -- reduce the impact on the civilian population. if you go after a single individual and don't affect the whole village, you don't have a negative impact on everyone else. while isr is not a panacea for everything, the more you have got, the smarter you are as a force and the more precise you can be. everything we can do to increase that will be valuable. >> general fraser, you have an area of the world that is very close to us, and one of the lessons we learned worldwide is that government of capacity is such a critical element -- governmental capacity is such a critical element of stability. i wonder if you will undertake an assessment of the government a capacity of the countries in your areas of operation as a leading edge indicator of where problems but exist? >> thank you for that question. as i have studied what southcom is doing, they already have a robust program to do that. and the issues we deal with in that region, i think, reflect that. it is an interagency approach an international approach. yes, sir, if confirmed, i w

to its population centers, it makes a lot of sense for us. as we move out it depends on the demand that we get from the freight side with the increased capacity in the future that we have found them to be very reluctant to give up that right-of-way claiming that they need that for future development and into theirs. it's a continuous problem, but we think it makes great sense. we are not taking a new right-of-way but we would like to consolidate a lot with texas dot and the railways to the extent we can meet the requirements and technical requirements. >> that's what i think coming to some realistic terms with the freight rail, it's going to be in everyone's interest because they have a business to run and you can understand their wanting to keep control of their tracks. that's why i think getting sort of separated out where we can, but not having the huge expense of eminent domain spec there are many places where it's cheaper for us to relocate the freight rail and buy them a new right-of-way and a new freeway corridor in new york and take o

the city of philadelphia has a population of about a million and a half people. what we had to do was find ways to get cases out of the city of philadelphia, out of those courts and so we actually passed legislation, congressman murphy and i were supportive at the time, in harrisburg that would have essentially required the that cases be heard in the -- required that the cases be heard in the county where it occurred. that made complete sense. we tried to pass it legislatively but we had the courts -- the supreme court ruleto essentially provide that kind of remedy. what happened is we saw the number of cases heard in philadelphia drop dramatically as a result of that. so that was just another example of the problems. also we have many people in this country who must go to an emergency room for care. they go to the emergency room and oftentimes emergency room physicians and staff are the subject of lawsuits. but those same physicians must provide care under federal law, something call and essentially what that means is they need to provide care and what we should

their state had just surged past virginia and pennsylvania to become the most populous of the united states. new york namesake city, new york city, had recently displayed philadelphia as the nation's largest city and was taking control of the young american economy. infields drawing rooms and counting houses across the atlantic the words of new york were becoming equivalent to economic opportunity for laborers, speculators and proto- industrialist alike. and yet, and till this fine morning, until this fall morning new york was no more assured of becoming the empire state and was virginia, pennsylvania, or even ohio, south carolina or illinois. nor was the nation assured of becoming a global empire it remains. in 1825, the united states were still plural in view, not a singular nationstate but sovereign state with the constitutional limited federal government. as late as 1855, walt whitman proclaimed with a verbal plurality, oh, the united states with vain to pull up political stuff, most in need but what. as opposed to the needs poets. abraham lincoln bearing the union at gettysburg

fairly similar in the 2 cities in texas. since then, there has been a dramatic difference. mcalan has grown more quickly than the rest of the country or al passed though. and the result is that now mcallen spends twice as much as the u.s. average. you can see that difference showing up in all sorts of medical indicators. you can continue down the list. those additional expenditures would be worth it if the result was higher quality and better outcomes in mcallen. but as the data suggests, we are not getting higher quality for those additional expenditures in mcallen, quality is actually lower in mcallen than in el paso. a central fact surrounding our health-care system is that higher cost does not mean higher quality. one of the key thing that has to change is we need to reorient the system rather than more. as we read that article, the first was stunning. they're not aware that they were more intense users of the health-care system. against comparisons event comparison hospitals. bob raised a series of interesting questions

with more of a density of population, a concentration of consumers. too often, as randall of west liberty, ohio, a small town in our state, as randall can explain, rural communities have a difficult time attracting even basic care. randall oversees ohio's only rural training track in family medicine. while his program has received awards for training excellence, he struggles to attract enough doctors for their rural residency. randall wrote to me explaining the disincentives and misperceptions he has to overcome to attract the care needed to serve rural ohio. a public health insurance option will not neglect rural areas. insurance companies often leave rural areas. insurance companies bail out or the insurance companies that stay are so small in number that there's no real competition and they can charge far too high rates. instead, the public option would be consistently available in all markets and in rural eastern oregon, in rural western and southeastern ohio. i stand ready to work with my colleagues to design a public insurance option as part of

if you consider that the population in the urban areas in 2050 will be the same as the world population in 2040 -- or 2004. seven of the 10 largest cities are going to be on or near the coast. you are going to see that demographic press down near the coastal areas. research competition is going to heat up for water and for fish and arable land. climate changes going to affect our weather patterns and it is going to affect the icecaps which in turn will affect transit grounds and that will change. beyond all that, we also face the challenges of proliferation. as i mentioned, that no conflict will ever again in my mind be high and or low and. hybrid really is the word of the day. it is what our future will be. we see the proliferation of advanced weapons. submarines. the population of world submarines is expected to increase in -- increased 280 in the next few decades. we have seen how groups like hezbollah can have an advanced anti-ship cruise missile. again, i am not sure that we have will -- we will go into an environment and say it is low- end or high-end any more. what was once kind

i did not see new segments of the population joining these protests. i did not see the boys are shut down. i did not seem major strike action, a call for general strike, people coming in from the villages to joining. i did not seek the urban core from tehran even joining. i do not -- i did not see the urban poor from tehran joining. so, i did not see it as that serious. they in fact did not subside. why? why did they not attract new people? because there was some doubt as to whether, the degree of fraud. basically, you are asking someone in iran to imagine there is an 11 million votes fraud committed. that is an awful lot. it could happen, but what i'm looking for is to see if anyone in the interior ministry comes out and it describes the fraud. if not, then i would have to say maybe the election was not as errant does it protesters thought. i make no judgments on the purchase, but a lot of people would have had to have been in on that fraud of that scope. a think eventually if it was we will know it somehow. just briefly, obviously i work for the cong

it ultimately flows into lake e r*eu e in the city of cleveland. when scientists began studying the fish population of the cuyahoga, they found only a few species were able to survive in the polluted waters. many of the fish who remained were deformed. after years of hard work by the cuyahoga by citizens, by industry leaders, by government agencies, more than 60 different fish species can now be found in the river. madam president, that tells you what the efforts of government can do. it took more than a few activists in the city of cleveland. it took more than the cleveland city health department. it took more than the cuyahoga county health department. it took a strong national government and the environmental protection agency created, if you remember, during the presidency of richard nixon with a democratic congress, that ultimately the creation of the environmental protection agency and the ability of the federal government to come in when necessary and mandate that local officials and local industry do what it needs to do for safe drinking wa

just yesterday the government sent block access to twitter and on youtube, all to shield the population from any hint of today's anniversary. when ju dian died four years ago, the city took caution after remembering how the death in 1989 sparked the uprising. it's declared extreme sensitivity, put alarmed police on special alert. these are not the actions of a regime that feels secure. on the contrary, they are the actions of a regime that thinks it's sitting on top of a volcano that's about to erupt . or the center of an earthquake, hazord zone. the reason for this insecurity was spelled out in a lecture in beijing by a nationally known scholarists. the chinese system he explaned by strict rigidity. where there is no rule of law to protect people's interest or prevent the rulers from abusing the people and lining their own pockets. the dominance feature in a governance of this abilities and the issues of people's legitimate issues, homeowner rights for urban residents and minority rights, that all of this becomes a threat to the social order. a rigid system is by definition bristled. i

they were having to find new sources of revenue. >> was new york losing population in the '50s, '60s, '70s? >> no. well, there was suburbization that was going and had been going since the late 19th century in new york, in the surrounding suburbs. one thing that was occurring was the rise of suburbs more widely in the united states and the expansion of suburbs and so there was, you know, a loss of population to the growing sunbelt region that was going on since the '50s, so the west and southwest of the united states. and the sunbelt was also -- you know, the suburbanized sunbelt was the base of a growing, more conservative political movement in the country which saw new york, despite in this period, you know, its strength, saw it as reflecting an old guard form of civic populism, if you will, the republican party, the right wing republican party was trying to supplant. and so new york was losing population to some extent as well as finding itself in competition, in serious competition with other cities that were more in -- you know, in that republican orbit. >> well, in your book, "b

is and that they have facilities second support a population, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. as, schools and churches fill the bill quite readily so most of them are either churches or schools throughout the u.s.. we have the shelters before katrina, but after katrina we actually put those into a database of the first time in a computer database we can see where they were on short notice. what might be available and also when we actually have a disaster for local chapters will report how many shelters are open, members of people in the shelters etc. >> okay, and the school issue is interesting to me because obviously in a catastrophic disaster that we had and others have had, when people move into schools for a long time it is hard to actually operates schools and one of the essential ingredients of recovery for parents of children is to get their children back in school as soon as possible because and then and these were the children are in school the parents can go about all the work that they need to do to rebuild their home, their business, etc.. how does a the red cross

there were some protests in the other cities, but not major. i did not see new segments of the population joining these protests, i did not see the bazaars shut down, i did not see major strike action, i did not see a call for a general strike, i did not see people coming in from the villages to join these protests, i did not see the urban poor from tehran even joining these protests, so i don't think that these protests were actually that serious a challenge, and i was one who during these days was saying that this will subside if they do not attract these new segments of the population, and they did not. why did this, why did the protests not grow? why didn't they attract new entrants? because i think there was some doubt as to whether the degree of fraud. i mean, basically, one is asking someone in iran to imagine that there is an 11 million vote fraud committed. you know, could happen, but that's an awful lot of fraud. what i'm looking for is to see if anyone in the election system in the interior ministry from the election commission comes

he argues a jewish vote, if it existed was only an issue in a new york city. truman would be much more likely to win if he made policy based on the issue instead of merit. clifford turned out to be prophetic, if the jewish vote was a key to victory in the 1940 presidential election, then making policy to gain the votes prove to be a dismal failure per kabbalah states with a significant jewish population, truman only one illinois. a third explanation that has been given for w why t acted as he did, is he did it because he was a religious baptist day and christian science is the belief in biblical process of -- prophecies to the return of the jews to the ancient homeland. president truman never officially use religion as a reason to support the creation of a jewish state but it manifest itself both before he became president and after he recognized israel. truman claimed to have read the bible at least a dozen times before he was 15 and he looked to it for inspiration and guidance as an adult progress is senator, truman along with his congressional colleagues jo

recommendations also define that the passenger rail corridor should connect population centers within 500 miles of each other. 11 months later the gao concluded the existing inner-city passenger rail system is in poor financial condition and the current structure does not effectively target federal funds to where they provide the greatest public benefits such as transportation. court or reeds, generally less than 500 miles in length have higher ridership, perform better financially and appear to offer greater potential for public benefit. we also recommend congress that our nation in vest at least $8 billion per year over the next 50 years in passenger rail systems. president obama and senator reid and this congress realize that investment in passenger rail is needed now, not over the next 50 years. eight billion dollars was put into the stimulus bill to create jobs and kickstart the program to begin a valiant new vision for america's transportation. this president and senator reid and this congress have a vision for transportation in our nation much like that of president eisenhower

it was a wonderful opportunity for that area of ohio because there are large cities on various sides of this and it provides recreational and other opportunities for a large population and if they had not acted when they did, it might not be there today. and it was done by those two representatives working as best they could with colleagues in both political parties and will stand as a lasting monument to their joint efforts on behalf of our country and certainly the people of their region in ohio. ralph and mary were a great and are a great team and one other thing i think i might mention, ralph is kind of a gentleman farmer and he used to spend a lot of time working with his grandchildren and family and all that. but ronald reagan was kind of a gentleman farmer, too. he had this ranch out in california, where he cleared brush and was trying to develop and it turned out he and ralph were talking over and reagan discovered that ralph was going back to work on fencing on his farm and asked him if he could explain how he did it and so ralph came back to a meeting afterward and said tha

to borders that make sense for local populations, things like that? >> yeah, i actually think about afghanistan as being more unified as a nation than pakistan. the afghans are always fighting for cobbles. you have a number of different separatist movements going on in pakistan. i can sort of see a way out of the afghan problem. i mean, nationbuilding is becoming a dirty word in washington, but basically all these communities need is law and order if we were able to establish governance, we're shortly not going to get rid of the taliban and al qaeda by trying to kill them all. it sort of like that doritos at. they just make more of them as we do that. but if we actually make them irrelevant i getting people a good alternative, i think that's the exit strategy for the region. people talk about that being expensive and complex and taking years. i don't disagree with that, but we're already spending $2 billion a month on our military operations alone in afghanistan. and surely that's not sustainable

saddam was afraid his shiite population would change sides. they did not. their arab identity was much stronger. i think the iranians and the government there have managed to create a certain appeal by criticizing the united states and lashing out at israel. i do not think that the appeal goes much beyond that. in terms of freedom, i think one of the things i talk about in the book is the aljazeera of fact. in this country, aljazeera is often criticized because they gave a platform to osama bin laden. you were hearing it called all osama all the time. as a reporter, i used to have aljazeera on all the time. they would find dissonance whether it be libyans or someone else working in lebanon on and who was in jail. it was an incredible tool for finding now what kind of opposition did exist in the arab world. one example in the book, a friend of mine's mother was watching al jazeera one day. they do a good job of covering the globe. they're watching peru. is that how come there are no election returns in the middle east? it starts people to thinking and contra

obama rescinded the mexico city policy, a pro-life reagan era executive order, that ensured that the half billion dollars in population control funds appropriated by congress each year only went to foreign nongovernmental organizations, family planning, organizations that did not promote, lobby, or perform abortions as a method of family planning. as a result of owe bam obama's new policy, they are flush with cash and will continue to get hundreds of millions of dollars annually to push abortion around the world. all of it decoupled from pro-life safeguards. i mention the mexico city policy which is not on the floor today for context. to underscore what is actually happening 24/7 in the obama administration. add to this the fact that the administration has stuffed pro-abortion activists, a literal who's who in the abortion rights organizations, in key gatekeeper positions and you get the idea. you see that abortion is a serious undertaking by this administration. even the gatekeeper, the woman, and a fine woman, who heads up the u.s. agency for international development, wendy sherma

the result was jergerrymandered districts they moved from the central city and the suburbs and did not think of themselves as part of the community from which they had worked so hard to escape. in addition, what is sometimes called a max black districting was a product of a justice department that labeled maps as driven by intentional discrimination if a civil rights group had come up with an allegedly better plan. if a state's legislative black caucus had submitted the state's supported plan that was not necessarily considered relevant. minority legislators, the assistant attorney for civil rights explained in 1993 may have a host of political and thus unacceptable reasons for going along with a state's redistricting map. he had greater trust, he made clear, in advocacy groups such as the aclu and the naacp and he saw the motives of such group as pure. in contrast, to those of black state legislators. by 1993 when the assistant attorney -- assistant attorney general for civil rights gave this speech the creation of numerous majority black districts would have been the natural result o

i was up in mosul a few weeks ago, and to be sure it's a city that has a lot of tension in it, to be sure, there are various groups, whether it's the kurdish population there, the sune e, or -- and i want to emphasize this as well, christian groups that have concerns about what life will be like in the future. again, i think the way forward is through political dialogue. i met with members of the provincial council. i met with the kurdish delegation that is continuing to boy cot the provincial council. i met with others. and we just have to keep doing that. i think whether this is irreversible will depend on the people themselves. i have no doubt that iraq is a better place for the fact that there's less violence and i think that's an insight most iraqis have every day. >> does the u.s. have any contingency plan in case the violence esclates after witsdrall? >> again, i don't want to discuss contingency plans. i'm not in charge with respect to security. what i am involved in is to make sure that we are complying with the security agreement. this is something that we want to do and mu
