some policies, and then we'll kind of go beyond the home to talk about the kinds of exposures that might be not within our control in the house but elsewhere. and it looks like i have videos so that is good. so, the breast cancer fund is a national organization that works to prevent breast cancer by eliminating the environmental exposures linked o the disease, mostly we talk about chemicals and radiation that are linked to breast cancer, we are a little different from your breast cancer organizations out there, we often associate breast cancer with pink ribbons and we're about to see an onslaught of ribbons in our stores, we don't identify with pink because that's mostly associated with cures and treatments and we're on prevention, we're not affiliated with other breast cancer groups, there are all different breast cancer organize sashes that do their own agenda setting and we are an independent group that we have a board that helps us make decisions as an entity, we're not focused on a cure, we focus exclusively on prevention and environmental links to the disease, we don't fund individ

i might have been in prison. i might have been unemployed. i might not have been able to support a family. and that motivates me. >> the president is sharing in a way we rarely hear him at

and the senate finance committee and she might have known about this it might have told somebody and this was public information but i think the question is when is it considered public information and when is it still insider information well besides political intelligence being the greatest oxymoron ever. you know when it comes to members of congress i don't know i don't really like to be able to trade on any sort of this information but when it comes to somebody like steve cohen who has a hedge fund i don't particularly care if he's paying people a lot of money to get some good information that he could trade on you know he just paid six hundred million dollars to settle a lawsuit with the i.c.c. over insider trading that he admitted any wrongdoing of course but you know when markets move all right there's money to be made and are going to move anyway so why shouldn't people with a little bit closer access to that information be able to trade on it well obviously as you leave on that note because we've got to move on to our bankers cup following up from last we need. to conduct ca

, it might be the opportunity to ask questions. any questions? >> thanks, supervisor. sorry for being late. i heard the gentleman say that the help for small business maximum is $100,000. someone else mentioned a repayment plan. a sort of interest rate and so on and so on. business people show up here. a lot of restaurants and small businesses, and i am certain those members are very interested in this program. i myself have been faithful so long. that is why i am interested. hopefully i will be able to learn something and pass on to the people who need my assistance. if there's any way the supervisor would be able to generate a little more activity, maybe the location might not be perfect for the small orders to attend, and hopefully, we have another similar occasion to notify all those people to attend. but thanks so much for being here. thank you. >> yes, so, the typical loan for small businesses, these compliance issues, the term depends on the loan amounts. the most we can do -- in terms of other qualifications, again, this is

we might see the other evidence. we have done nothing to improve the quality and the strength of the dam. >> one of the things that has come up in the policy issue over and over is that people are concerned that construction of a new building or the upper story might exacerbate these kinds of soil problems. we have extra review where we might have extra problems. it does that construction have an impact? it is a good idea to come to a peer review or a geotechnical review process as part of determining. >> in january of this year, the california building code requires almost all of san francisco that we get geologist and a geotechnical engineer. it was a state building code rather than just the local requirements. >> as you recall, this was called the edge hill ordinance. >> is this the same kind of condition? >> this is more of the rock, all on one side and on the other side -- >> this is a combination. >> a lot of sand hills were scrapes down and deposited to other places without being engineered or consolidated and

that might have been for a lot of different reasons. but i don't think anyone -- as much as the right might not care for the current administration's policies, i don't think anyone wants to see a whole scandal develop. i don't think anyone wants to see a scandal develop under clinton. we muddled through, got through it. but i'd rather just have him be ineffective rather than scandalous. >> that's the issue, john. it's noso much that wall street would hope for a scandal, but might hope that the obama administration agenda might not be furthered. >> i think they will. look, it's already been stalled. they've got such discord in washington, d.c., nothing is getting passed. all three of the last two term presidents had some type of scandal. none of them greatly affected the market either way. i don't think this does either. >> jonas, what do you think? >> you know, look, if the irs can get money, right or wrong, from people without having to raise the general tax rate, in theory, that's good for our debt and market. that said, this administ

the other car might be your mother-in-law. and you could meet in the middle in that sorted of connecting section for breakfast. they did similar things. they'd put like four in a cross with a connecting part in the middle. and you could see these are not exactly a.d.a. accessible. they're up here on these platforms above the sandunes. you can probably guess why. if you can't, i'll give you another view here. this is the same view pretty much. so you can see that car up above the sandunes. but here it's getting sort of buried. the sand would shift. and it would blow around and they talked about if you lived in a car house how you might get up in the morning, open your door, and there would be a three-foot drop. or if you made the mistake of having your door open out, you might not be able to get out because the sand billowed up against the door in the night. so they build these car houses up on stilts just to keep them above the sand and above the fray. this idea of buying your own lot and getting your cars really booms. jacob

might be music from taylor swift, might be sporting events or reruns of old television shows.r me is this opens the door for youtube to get some of these deals that netflix, for example, can't get. netflix charges $8 a month. it's all you can eat programming. i watched the first two seasons of the fx show on netflix and i was like, great show. i want to see season three. i fired up netflix, searched for it, they don't have it. i had to go to voodoo and pay 30 bucks for the high-definition season of the show. why wasn't it on netflix? the people that own that content don't want you to watch every episode in a binge for $8 on netflix. they want to get more out of their premium content. they don't want to dilute the premium nature of that content. so on demand, pay-per-play, choose what you want to play for. that's the model. i think that's something that youtube is knocking down the doors on right now. >> that's fascinating. you think companies like netflix and hulu that we've talked about quite a bit, companies that provide this content but are also creating their own original

it might encourage something we don't want. so, i don't know about that. then we still have the conditional use process which i think is a strong argument that anything that would be approved, any hotel would have to be found to be necessary or desirable. and, so, each one would be considered. it's not like -- all you're saying is we're going to open the door in a large area of the city to allow us to pick and choose whether or not any hotels would be appropriate. and i think that makes a lot of sense because this is an area and is going into change, and we're not quite sure what we're going to end up with. i think it makes a lot of sense to leave us with that option. however, i wouldn't be opposed to staff looking at whether it should be a portion of the area and not the entire area, or certainly if it is the entire area, we just need a little more rationale why this particular area would be the area targeted for possible hotel -- larger hotels. i think the 75 is -- may not necessarily be the right number anyway. so, i'm against the motion. >> commissione

administration and in particularly embarrassing the former secretary of state hillary clinton who might run for president a few years unfortunately thomas drake john kiriakou and bradley manning they have information that embarrassed both republicans and democrats who've been complicit in a legal surveillance and war crimes these men couldn't be exploited by one political party or the other that's why they are where they are now and not sitting in front of chairman ice's oversight committee instead so if you want to be a whistleblower if you want to expose moral wrongdoings in criminal activity well go for it unfortunately you just have to make sure there's a political agenda to hang your whistle on in washington same sex are to. well it's hard to see your child in pain but for many parents keeping up to date vaccinations is considered by some in society and necessary obligation to keep their kids healthy and that means a lot of shots on average american children now receive twenty six vaccinations by the age of two that is unless parents exercise that decision to opt out now oregon no

you but doesn't necessarily say that can you stay in your home and we set out to define what that might mean and you know because you built this house we're in now and this shows what it's like to be in a place safe enough to stay. it's not going to be perfect. there maybe cracks in the walls and not have gas or electricity within a while but can you essentially camp out within your unit. what's it going to take to get the housing stock up to this standard? we spent time talking about this and one of the building types we talk about was soft story buildings and the ground floor is vulnerable because there are openings for garages or windows and during the earthquake we saw in the marina they went right over and those are -- >> very vulnerable buildings. >> very and there are a lot of apartment buildings in san that that are like that. >> and time to. >> >> retrofit the buildings so people can stay in them after the earthquake. >> what do they need? do they need information? do they need incentives? mandates? >> that's a good question. i think it starts with information. people think tha

spring meetings last week over whether japan might kick start and do it to national currency war but here's the fundamental problem over the past few months you've heard perfectly rational sober economic commentators arguing that the dollar is overvalued that the euro is overvalued that the yen is overvalued that the pound sterling is overvalued these four currencies alone represent over half the global economy they can't all be overvalued yet if policymakers in each country pursues higher net exports through currency depreciation some of them at least are going to be disappointed and that's when you run the risk of over protectionist measures no this is precisely what f.d.r. as treasury department was trying to stop permanently in the one nine hundred forty s. words but we have a graph here a central bank assets of the percent of g.d.p. europe and the u.s. share of central bank assets are steadily increasing over the past six years and japan's are projected to reach sixty percent or higher makes a quantitative easing itself as a relatively recent phenomenon officially chasing back t

bear any resemblance to the currency wars of the one nine hundred thirty you know organisation that might have been last year seems to have broken down as you know there was a lot of buzz surrounding the i.m.f. spring meetings last week over whether japan might kick start a new international currency war but here's the fundamental problem over the past few months you've heard perfectly rational sober economic commentators arguing that the dollar is overvalued that the euro is overvalued that the yen is overvalued that the pound sterling is overvalued these four currencies alone represent over half the global economy they can't all be overvalued yet if policymakers in each country pursues higher net exports through currency depreciation some of them at least are going to be disappointed and that's when you run the risk of over protectionist measures no this is precisely what f.d.r.'s treasury department was trying to stop permanently in the one nine hundred forty s. words but we have a graph here a central bank assets as a percent of g.d.p. europe and the u.s. share of central bank assets

and we want to talk about apartment buildings and what the owner's responsibilities might be and whaty expect their tenants to do. and let's start by talking a little bit about what owners can do before an earthquake and then maybe after an earthquake. >> well, the first thing, lawrence, would be to get together with your tenants and see if they have earthquake insurance or any renters insurance in place because that's going to be key to protecting them in the event of a quake. >> and renters insurance, there are two kinds of insurance. renters insurance coffers damage to goods and content and so forth. earthquake insurance is a separate policy you get after you get renters insurance through the california earthquake authority, very inexpensive. and it helps owners and it helps tenants because it gives relocation costs and it pays their rent. this is a huge impact on building owners. >> it's huge, it really is. you know, a lot of owners don't realize that, you know, when there is an earthquake, their money flow is going to stop. how are they going to pay their mortgages, how are they

might touch 70 degrees. but spotty showers and light rain always an opportunity for that during the course of the day. better chances the further south you live or travel. mid-60s across the area right now. 65 in hagerstown. 61 in culpepper. 62 down in fredericksburg getting ready for the half marathon. temperatures today in the 60s to around 70 with a sprinkle and shower chance off and on. cool and cloudy for now. we're going to go over to the summer steamies for next week. highs both today and tomorrow. only around 70. maybe 72 tomorrow. up near 80 on monday. by tuesday and wednesday, temperatures up into the 80s to perhaps even near 90 degrees by tuesday afternoon. here's the radar for now. light rain showers moving back into louden county. the line is northern montgomery county. steadier showers now mainly southern parts of prince george's county. headed on out towards glen ber gnu. south of town, that's where the better rain chances are already. all getting in on some light ran rain this morning. that's

we might know in ten days or a month.ly, and what's is clear they want to get at this was a massive security failure. >> and the authorities said that. this is not news. again, let's have a little context of bush and reagan did this, but this was the republican party who tried to stone wall the 9/11 commission. president reagan saw three separate situations. this was a single event and fox news was talking about bringing back watergate, and they're talking about how the whistle blower's lives are in danger. there might be some truth this week but let's put in context what we've been dealing with for seven and eight months. >> cenk: i don't want anybody to get me wrong. this is not trading arms for hostages. at the same time i think what happened was the administration, the he republicans and democrats, they get so used to lying in the begin. oh no, no in afghanistan they didn't shoot the helicopter down. and then a week and a half later they shot the helicopter down. oh osama bin laden hid behind his wife, no, he didn't h

we might see more traffic.francisco northbound 101 traffic looks good approaching the 80 split. san jose happily affray from most of this. now let's go to steve. >> sal, thank you. clear skies pap little cool for some. it will be sunny and warmer today. temperatures right now 40s and 50s will end up with 70s and 80s and 90s. 60s and 70s and 80s and we did pencil in a few low 90s. we start a cool down on sunday and a big-time cool down on monday and tuesday. today and tomorrow the warmest days. >>> coming up next we continue with our breaking news effecting hundreds of thousands of bay area commuters this morning. the crash in the transbay tube that is causing big problems for bart riders and people on the road. as a record collectio. no. there was that fuzzy stuff on the gouda. [ both ] ugh! when it came to our plants... we were so confused. how much is too much water? too little? until we got miracle-gro moisture control. it does what basic soils don't by absorbing more water, so it's there when plants need it

if you're a seller, it might be good. a buyer, it's bad old days and there is a lot of competition out there. there are many buyers chasing a limited supply of homes. the result is prices are driving up. basic supply and demand. >> what do you think caused this and are we going toward another bubble, do you fear? >> well, what happened, we reached a bottom in the real estate market about a year ago when we were bumping along the bottom and at a moderate pace. several things happened to incite more buyers to come on out. the historically low interest rates, people know it's not going to last. if you bought a home during the jimmy carter administration, you paid 17% and now 3.5%. the economy is better, especially here in the bay area and silicon valley in san francisco. the tech economy is booming and a lot of people have extra cash, basically. >> uh-huh. >> and the third thing is just that people realize that the market had hit bottom prices and they're going gun. it was time to buy because the bargains, such as they were,

increase traffic might generate. and also for those who might be headed to at t. and t. i have people who live in the east bay and they drive in to games and they always park in that lot by the water mark because it's an easy access back onto the freeway off of bryant street and they come the other way and circle. so what i'm saying is it would provide -- we have to be realists. there would be people who will drive and this would not have to be done before the arena but it's something to put into the hopper as you're looking at solutions. >> thank you. >> and i had another question, i guess it's for staff, perhaps for mr. dykstra. did i hear there's going to be a pedestrian bridge across the embarcadaro -- no, there will not be one. i mean, i'm not saying there should be, but, you know, we do have to think about how people who are to the other side, they do fine for at&t, they manage to make it across and there's -- you know, but wherever we can make it as easy as possible for people who are on foot to get from the w

of course, for older viewers, you might look at that and say, that's a steal.y case, we got our first house, that is what we paid per day. the perspective is everything and with rates backing up, some are saying that could be a head wind for the market and the economy. 3.891% for 30-year fixed rate mortgage. >> what do you call someone who visits the white house 159 times? either that person is a pest or a very valued pal. hard to say what it makes former irs commissioner doug shulman, the fact he did stop by the executive mansion more than any cabinet member and at least 158 times more than the previous irs commissioner says he did for official business has raised eye brows, katie, that's remarkable and unprecedented. what is going on? >> it's abnormal you would think because he visited the white house so often it was normal if you go back to the bush administration and markç eversn was running the irs, he only visited the white house one time. now, we have to look at what why would measure shulman be visiting the white house under president obama, and we see

you might be, you might be an amateur musician. you might be wanting to upload a youtube video and have some -- or your children might be wanting to upload a youtube video, and you might say, well, is that going to get them in trouble? might they have a black mark against them if they do this? there are people creating pta fliers who want to know can i just pull an image off the internet or not if i'm going to make this? is that going to get the school in trouble in any way? as well as scholars, teachers, librarians. we've actually, the book chronicles work we've done with ten communities of practice including journalists, documenttarians -- film makers, that is -- k-12 teachers, mostly middle schoolteachers, college professors and people who make open course wear for higher education. we've worked with them and other groups to help them clarify how they can use fair use in order to get their work done. and as i say, this is a relatively new problem in the world since before 1976, actually, it was like a no-brainer to access other

look like hand what it's cost might be which would presumably be a lower cost. given that option, a total of 17 percent of those indicated previously they would stay with clean power sf given the rate information we provided indicated they would opt out in favor of that p g and e program. >> what was your impression of the statistic? >> what i appreciate, they were reporting the number different, the one thing i would put in there the question was split whether they would leave the program and definitely leave and probably. the definite was 43 percent. 13 percent says they would probably leave. i would anticipate that you would see a highly amount leaving. if you say i'm going to leave. they would have to fill out a second form saying i want to be in the green tier program. it a very small percent. >> at this rate we don't have a sense between the program of p g and e [!ez >> i would yield to the difference to the staff to describe the difference of the two programs. >> what we know is what was filed at the california public utilities commission and in that sett

any resemblance to the currency wars of the one nine hundred thirty you know what is the issue there might have been last year seems to have broken down as you know there was a lot of buzz surrounding the i.m.f. spring meetings last week over whether japan my kick start a new international currency war but here's the fundamental problem over the past few months you've heard a perfectly rational sober and. anomic commentators arguing that the dollar is overvalued that the euro is overvalued that the end is overvalued the pound sterling is overvalued these four currencies alone represent over half the global economy they can't all be overvalued yet if policymakers in each country pursues higher net exports through currency depreciation some of them at least are going to be disappointed and that's when you run the risk of over protectionist measures no this is precisely what f.d.r. as treasury department was trying to stop permanently in the one nine hundred forty s. words but we have a graph here a central bank assets of the percent of g.d.p. europe and the u.s. share of central bank assets

it is important to have somebody else that can store cold foods so something that you might be able toou if you have to leave your home. >> and here, this is my very own personal emergency supply box for my house. >> i hope that you have an alternative one at home. >> oh, i forgot. >> and in this is really important, you should have flashlights that have batteries, fresh batteries or hand crank flashlight. >> i have them right here. >> good. excellent. that is great. additionally, you are going to want to have candles a whistle, possibly a compass as well. markers if you want to label things if you need to, to people that you are safe in your home or that you have left your home. >> i am okay and i will meet you at... >> exactly. exactly. water proof matches are a great thing to have as well. >> we have matches here. and my spare glasses. >> and your spare glasses. >> if you have medication, you should keep it with you or have access to it. if it needs to be refrigerated make sure that it is in your ice box. >> inside, just to point out for you, we have spare batteries. >> very importa

>> it might remedy the problem or they might create a new one. the illusion of narrative and digital technology is jenin what they call predictive modeling. so these big data analysis to figure out john is 12 but we can tell from his statistical profile that he will be day by the time he is 14, right? mary is 36 and we can tell from the way she is tweeting and whatever that she's probably going to be given with infertility issues. so they can then send you the ads and things that can help you manifest the person that you're most likely to be. that's not storytelling. that's life creation. that's turning people into programs rather than letting people be the unpredictable quirky weird thing that they are. i do think that the context that you can get in digital spaces, but that context is much more like beavis & butthead or the simpsons or south park or mystery science theater. it's more of a kind of madison's ability that you see frames within frames within frames. you see the media and more of a fractal sense than you do in a linear sense. so the

so if you market it as a fad diet, you might double your numbers.stics, you cited an interesting one at the beginning, which is from 1.4 billion to 1.2 billion people living in these conditions. that's a huge success, what accounts for it? >> well it's actually quite amazing. in the last 25 years, the proportion of people living in extreme poverty now has halved from 52% of the world's population in 1991, down to 25% today. that's due to gains in health care, so you've seen things like eat rad indication of smallpox, polio is nearly eradicated. amazing health care interventions in malaria. and seen the growth of parts of latin america, you've seen amazing economic boom. the remaining 1.2 billion people living in extreme poverty are basically living in sub-sarahan africa. >> we've got to let you go. and the show unfortunately there's a time clock that we're running up against, but hugh, the goal of ending poverty around the world, some people think it's doable. >> it is doable. it's going to happen within our lifetime. >> that's highly and awesomely

. >> obviously i'm not leaving it in there for months but i might leave a case in there, i might have that for a couple of weeks. >> studies they've done have usually been 72 to 108 hours, so relatively short-term, but also somewhat higher heat exposure than what we probably get most of the time in san francisco, so conditions are really variable and then it's usually controlled rather than kind of normal. yeah? >> so, in general where possible, staying away from plastic water bottles is not only making your life a little bit healthier, it's decreasing our dependence on plastic which is more important as a broader environmental issue, but even water bottles, even if you leave them in a cold environment, you don't know where they've come from or they've been in ship holds which is really hot, just as a number one rule, if you smell something plastic don't drink out of it. >> that's good advice. >> i have two questions, they're a little bit unrelated but the first one goes on the scheme of plastic, so plastic wrap, plastic bags, you know, it's great to say we should all use glass but we

maybe the cold weather might slow down some of their stores. it seems like j.c. penney actually might be turning the corner a little bit. it could hurt macy's a little bit. a 52-week high in gmcr, or tesla, or first solar, that's one thing, because they have such a huge short interest. i want to be a buyer in this, but i want to be a buyer on a pullback, not buying the 52-week high. so i want to get in at around $45, $45.30. i'll have a stop under $41. so, hopefully does pull back on earnings a little bit, then i will jump in to the long side. - thank you, and have a great trading day. - thank you. that's it for today. coming up tomorrow, ivy league universities are selling positions in treasuries. what average investors can learn from that move. from all of us at first business, make it a good monday. >> announcer: the following is a paid presentation for hip hop abs brought to you by beachbody. pay close attention! don't miss your chance to save 75% off hip hop abs. if you're looking to shed the fat... >> in the first week, i lost 12 pounds. >> announcer: a way
