There we go. I think that it is important to note that the recommendations that came from this report, were really are not confirming what we already knew. And the specific recommendations are that we actually implemented, were in the works prior to the report being issued. So there were really not any surprises for us and the first recommendation that came out of the report was that the construction estimate be updated at the time that the estimate was over 2 years old. And we received 100 perc...

Disappointing the developers, backed out of the tentative deal, discussed in early september. And however, we are pleased and we want to thank the board of supervisor and all involved for approving the resolution, for the formation of the special tax district up holding the cfd tax rates as outlined in the tcpd and it will be unfortunate and disappointing if the developers move forward with any lawsuits that will jeopardize the completing of the transbay, Transit Center, and the top park and the...

I know the king and jordan has been very open in meeting with different religious leaders both sort of from an islamic perspective to reduce the lore of isil, but also how do we work with the various religious groups. Syria was one of the most tolerant countries in the ent...

Like our National Military strategy written in 2012 president obamas calendarbased troop drawdown plan for afghanistan no longer accurately reflects the facts and conditions on the ground. Like the president s policy against isil, the president s afghanistan policy lacks of strategic disconnect, providing a list of goals or preferences but precluding the means necessary to achieve them.
