order to meet the timing in the agreement, we need to begin the process for purchase of the steel, fabrication, and installation of the early work related to the still packages and other packages is about $3 million. this would take place prior to the ceqa decision, which we would anticipate in february. the port commission discussed this yesterday, the city may disapprove the america's cup event or the cruise terminal above project. we had to place the order now prior to project approval, and we know that presents some risks, that did the best course of action for three reasons. now's a good time to purchase steel. prices are low and the market indicates that prices will rise over the next six months. in order to include the less we will include an option to terminate this purchase order, which means that the project is disapproved, we could cancel the installation and perhaps the fabrication. furthermore, we may continue to pursue this purchase because the lower cost steel may be reused, either with port projects are other projects. if we were to delay this package until march 1, we would en

a korean research team has developed a technology for the fabric industry. it is microfibers... similar to the silk... spun by spiders when they build webs. the team says... the latest achievement could have huge implications on the country's biomedical engineering. park ji-won tells us more. spiders spin highly stable and elastic silk every day. as liquid protein in a spiders' glands pass through its spinning duct... a silk thread is formed. a research team in korea has applied this method to fabricating microfibers. twenty micrometers superfine fibers can be made with a digital spinning duct... which does not require any heat or pressure source. the fibers can then be made into diverse patterns and designs. according to the research team, this environmentally- friendly micro- nanoscale spinning technology could potentially be used in various areas of biomedical engineering, such as producing blood vessel tissues or nerve cells. as the fibers are digitally programmable, it allows a variety of multifunctional microfibers.
