it is part of the great attraction, the fact that we are geographickly small means that you can do a lot of what you want to do in san francisco, on foot. which is a great thing. in terms of cycling we are one of the most bicycle friendly cities and it is a fast growing mode of transportation in san francisco and we have seen a lot of growth of creative ways of getting around and we launch the bike sharing a couple of months ago and san francisco has been a leader in car sharing. and a lot of other services are developing to try to make it easier for people to get around the city. but we are also not without our challenges and i made reference, already, and i will and i don't think that i need to talk about the challenges that we have with the muni and despite the fact that we are a very walkable city, in terms of pedestrian safety, we really compare pretty unfavorably to many other major cities in the united states, really the exact opposite of where we want to be. and our bicycle network, and despite the great growth is some what fragmented and we have portions that are very friendly a

i have learned a lot from twitter. a stream you dip in and out of. >> you three are pretty good. >> thank you. >> by the time you get to that part of the story, you have done often three or four different things for the day. it is a challenge to make the phone call you do not have time to. >> beyond twitter, and instant news era where there really is no news cycle, how does that change how you do your job, and do you see changes in the way our leaders act? >> i think in cable news we had the need for immediacy in terms of my deadline may be a live shot at 11:00 and then another one at 1:00. so we are writing, rewriting, continuing to report throughout the day. in some ways like radio. we do that as well. i think we are multitasking in new ways. i like twitter or the situation situational awareness. everything from the vice president has arrived, or i am heading to the floor to make remarks. it has been very help all. those who really know me know that i am not technically savvy. thank goodness there are a lot of people

a lot of times in these circles, academics get back. hey are doing a great job and one of the things they're doing a great job of is pointing out all these concussion a lexus, these mouthpieces and these headbands are not going to do anything for you to prevent a concussion or do anything if you have a concussion. so everyone, calm down. you don't have to pay $150 for a mouthpiece. i have some chipped teeth. maybe i wish eyes wearing one. but it will not do anything for your brain.

a lot of them aren't here. some of them have passed away. i think we should all be respectful of the fact that this is a real team effort to make candlestick what it is. sometimes when i tell people that when i started out when i was the gardener outside of the stadium, people would say, what's there to do outside because they walk in and they don't see what's outside. i think we have 300 trees to take care and and the lawns and statutes, and it's sort of the minutia of day-to-day things that made my job a great place to work and a facility where we can get great equipment and maintenance. it's meant a lot to the staff that everybody had a lot of faith in us and we did the best we could. people don't realize how dangerous it is out there when after a football game people want your equipment. putting concerts together and tarping for different events. i have seen people thrown through the air on the tarps and injured, broken collar bones and backs. it's fairly dangerous work. everybody did the best. all the people that i have worked with. they

>> i think there's a lot of arerground apps that people using. is really less a gadget and more what people will use on the gadgets. i have seen some really cool sort of snapchat wannabes who might go past it because they will do video, pictures, and text, so i think there will be a lot of usage of confidential conversations, particularly ones that do not get stored, as we learned from your nsa conversation. >> you could make the argument that one of the big tech stories this year was snappedchat saying thanks but no thanks to facebook -- snapchat saying thanks to the thanks but facebook -- to facebook. >> that was huge. put in the same place, i probably would have taken the money and run, but it is stay in charge of your company and manage with the company is doing, but in the future, we will see a lot of sites like instagram, facebook, twitter really utilize that ephemeral capability. >> brian, in your number four list, you have a game here. tell us about it. >> this really feels like the virtual reality peripheral we have been waiting for. i d

and so, that it is important and we are going to be and we have a lot ahead of us in what is planned in terms of how we are going to be utilizing our streets that we make sure that there is a really clear means, either in our municipal codes and communication, education, and so that we all understand it. recommendation four is to establish a pay and paint policy so that we are not doing or building out permitly recycled tracks or bike lanes or permanent ones, especially in the neighborhood commercial corridors or areas where we have our business districts but a lot of development is happening. and this a pave and paint approach and you have the most ability to be nimble to adapt and change as things change and you are able to understand the dynamics of an area. recommendation five is to conduct with the businesses directly adjacent so that installing the bus shul shelters and and to work with the businesses that the bus shelters are going to be the plans to install are close to. and again, the storefront is an incredible is incredibly important for our businesses on the street front l

there's a lot of exposure there. of the best management groups around, i think blackstone had a great year, kkr sort of lagged. i think when you look at the dividend yield of 9% and the fact if they can get up to book value, which i think they can, that puts them about 25% gain by year end. >> i know weiss was skeptical of this pick of hp. >> i was, but by skepticism, it's turned, i took a closer look, and what's happening here is i was looking too much at consumer business. commercial business has stabilized, they have e.d.s., low margin, improving margin, and you can see a $4 multiple and a 10 multiple on the four bucks. >> wait a minute. >> that's 40 buck, my man! >> you're bullish now? >> nice, weiss. >> i took another look. i wouldn't say i'm buying it. >> you should! you should! >> if you want to have money at the end of the year, you buy it now. >> your brother was also kind of laughing about the bp pick. you called it a snooze, doc, why? >> well, i called it a snooze, judge, because it's, in my world, boring.

we're going to see a lot of companies making a big push.y have samsung, sony, microsoft was in the game at one point. pebble is pretty popular with one segment of the population, but i do not think anybody has done it quite right. i do not think anyone has given us a super compelling reason to wear one of these. if one company is capable of doing that, it is definitely apple. >> sticking with the rift, dan, your number one gadget pick for 2014, job own -- jawbone. >> what they are doing in terms of combining elegance and quality, but they are allowing you to get more out of the things you already own, already have. their speakers, their sound ultimately go into projecting video. some people have netflix or other kind of content, and they are getting more value out of it. particularly for things like the health category, which is they are focused on getting more things out of your body -- particularly for things like the health category. the big trend will be focusing on getting more out of what you have. >> before we go, brian, your number

your question so we are collecting a lot of really valuable data center we're doing we're helping all of our users organize all their favorite places anywhere in the world whether it's a restaurant bar or a hotel and we're also letting them keep track of all the places they haven't been but they want to go via bookmarking so. you know the the core of post seven the app itself is really built around privacy so the whole idea and we're actually just talking to reno here in your miami studio she was talking about this tiny little russian spy that has amazing food but she doesn't want to tell the whole world to go there because she doesn't want to wait in line so the whole idea behind posts seven is you only share your information with your closest friends beyond that it doesn't go any further. actually use that data and leverage it to help. you reserve tables book hotel rooms and actually cut deals with different hotels restaurants and bars to actually give you deals to places that you want to go or places that you love ok so it has a concierge effect as well it sounds like now i want to

>> well, i think we will continue to see a lot of social m&a.nge of industries, even apple buying social-related companies. i think what's going to be interesting is with companies like snapchat. there were a lot of companies that tried to buy snapchat like facebook and google, but they passed up on being sold. we'll see the smaller social-related companies being purchased and the ones that feel like they have a lot of traction and a lot of users, those are the ones that may turn down those offers, hoping to eventually go public. >> a gut-wrenching call for some of the entrepreneurs. finally, we've been through facebook last year, twitter this year, what's the next big social ipo. >> well, here's the thing, carl, i don't think we'll see a consumer-facing ipo like a twitter. but i think a lot of the start-ups that will go public will have social be a key part of them. there's a company that you may never have heard of, because it's a data company, a data-crunching company, but a lot of the data crunches is social data. air b 2 b, another company

and especially it takes a lot to really articulate this vision. republicans have to find a way to articulate this without sounding callous. >> that is the problem. democrats have been running this is the war on women despise minorities and ha the poor and they have to find a way to break th viciousycle. unfortunately this is not out there and it's very hard to tell people that you have to succeed in schols. neil: time, the mainstream media is not all in on hiking the minimum wage. >> this is hollywood at its core. and this includes on when the and this includes on when the message of the film [ male aouncer ] here's a question for you: where does the united states get most of its energy? is it africa? the middle east? canada? or the u.s.? the answer is... the u.s. ♪ most of america's energy comes from right here at home. take the energy quiz. energy lives her anbe a name and not a number?tor scotade. ron: i'm never alone with scottrade. i can always call or stop by my local office. they're nearby and ready to help. so when i have questions, i can t
