a lot of parking information. a lot is out there. we have to figure out how to integrate it. when we have the ability to have a lot of information for the users, the can make a smart choice of whether they want to catch a train or a bus or take out by sharing. ridesharing is an area where we are trying to do more with this system, and getting more people to share the ride. we are strongly supporting car sharing. we support both of the operators in the city. there is also peer-too-pierre -- peer-to-peer car sharing or you can borrow your neighbor's car. it is a good system. we are working with the region to debut by sharing, which i am excited about. that will help with smaller, shorter trips. this is something we would like to see happen with our app development community. eventually, you will have all the data you're looking for at your fingertips. whether you need to get to a meeting or a friend's house or moving around the city, whether transit, bicycle, texas, or a car make sense, you can see what is available there. we are the cradle of all of these high-tech businesses.

we do a lot of expansion. people start small through the credit union and then want to go to the bank. we know we are limited. we cannot afford to give out a big loan. starting from the credit union, we educate them about filing taxes properly and then moving on to the bank, a small one, expansion, and we work with the bank. the bank and credit union are similar. we do allow tax returns, projections. credit unions do not charge an additional loan or processing fee. processing time, on a small loan, -- consumer loans probably a few days. because we require a business plan, sometimes it takes longer. business plans take a while. especially bank statements. we need to see consistent income coming in. so far, a credit union delinquent rate is quite low because we are working with a client. we want to keep that low and as part of our mission. there is no application fee. if you are interested in an application or information, i have brochures, or you can give us a call. >> thank you. next is marked with wells fargo.

it takes forever to get across, there is a lot of congestion. he did not have anyone to push his chair. he was this late heading back down to the street. that one aspect -- there is a large segment of the population that have difficulty getting to where they're going. the muni isn't that division right now. there is no more cars on that street. maybe the city will make its money back for putting all these things in. the lines on the street or not clear. we were trying to figure out which parking spot, which was 3, which was for, which was 5. they put the white lines on the outside toward the bike lane which is such a small white line, it does not go clear across. it is difficult to understand if you are in three, four, or five. i am giving you a detailed example of one area that was down there. i had to ask the traffic officer to come over and take a look. when he came over, he was able to point out that they were being lenient in the area because it is not clearly marked. the other thing is, a lot of people feel in terms of muni, they are unfami

a lot of that about what's going on here in washington you were here a couple weeks and i think right where you are in new york right now we're dealing with what could possibly be a government shutdown over a spending bill about three and a half billion dollars money for you know the victims of natural disasters and it didn't hold held up here because a lot of the republicans in congress say we will absolutely give you that money we will put that money in as long as we take it away from somewhere else they're wanting to take it away from the program that that going to have building manufacturing fuel efficient vehicles comes to me about the creating politics of the theory when this happened around. well it's a combination of radicalism and corruption in the sense of political conditions being bought off by wealthy corporations and individuals who don't want to pay taxes and it's what happens when you negotiate with the economic terrorists which is what they really are at the end of the day if you allow them to hold the entire us government and the function of government hostage over a

it's less than half a block away from the parking lot. and i've been a student there and i'm also came back to work there and i know that they have been writing letters yesterday and today and they will be sending their letters of support for all the middle schoolers and high schoolers. i think it's good to have a park right next to the center instead of having to go to delores which is really crowded all the time and no running space. or franklin which is always busy with soccer players. and it's a little bit farther. they are really in support of this park, and a lot of the staff and a lot of the youth organizations around there would also really benefit from having an extra open space around there. so i just wanted to share my personal experiences with you guys and ask for your support for this park. president buell: thank you. >> thank you. >> raul and charlie. >> good afternoon, everyone. my name is raul. this is my fifth year in the u.s. it's really interesting how like it's really sad to see even in a country that has almost everyth

is working with a park plan to have it from a paid parking lot to a farc. meeting with all the local businesses and the various community groups involved will continue this fall. i wanted to show you an image of some of you -- at the full commission meeting when we brought this before you, a lot of the members were able to attend. a lot of those kids are in school today and couldn't ble here again today. i wanted to mention that they came and represented their support for this project. again, the m.t.a., the planning department, community organizations, supervisors kim and camp oasto s's office. we have -- canpos'office. so currently the site is a paid parking lot owned by the san francisco public utilities commission. it's surrounded by residentses, businesses, community organizations and a high-density, low-income, culturally diversed neighborhood diefficient of open space. -- deficient of open space. what happened there? so this is the portion of the site that would be occupied by the park. the other portion would be -- at the same project being sold to

, a lot of passion, a lot of work we want to bring to this process of making this a reality. >> [speakingnish] >> we also need affordable housing, accessible housing. please help us make that a reality. we believe in you and do not want to stop believing in you. thank you. >> my name is pat delgado. i am a part advocate in the mission district. -- a park advocate in the mission district. this is a vital new part in our neighborhood. we have very little open space. we have franklin. we have kid power. we have delores, but it is way over there. we have garfield. up in this area, which is part of the old industrial zone, we need more open space. this is a great idea. please help us make it a reality. thank you. chairperson mar: thank you. i see only three more speakers, chairperson mar: thank you. i see only three more speakers,

many of us give a lot of money to charity, we take a legitimate deduction. when there is no more deduction it is unlikely that lots of people are going to be making those big contributions. >> greta: who is going to the soup kitchens, schools, cancer wards? >> maybe nobody. because the government doesn't have the money. maybe nobody will do it and that's very sad. not all of the contributions are great. many of those contributions are great contributions. i know so much about that. many of those contributions are great contributions. you take away that deduction and i personally think it is going to dry up. >> greta: anything about the president's job act that you think is a great idea or is this just stimulus 2.0? >> i think you need a bigger horizon. you need a bigger plan. but not necessarily bigger dollars. i think you have to bring our jobs back from overseas. i think you have to bring our jobs back and our manufacturing jobs had in particular from places like china. you have to stop factories from moving and leaving new england and going to mexico and l

i have been through a lot of managers, and the staff. have an excellent staff, and it was a team effort to get those citation protests down. >> on behalf of the board of directors, thank you for your fine work. [applause] them mr. director, finally, i would like to ask -- >> mr. director, finally, i would like to ask lucian berger to step forward. he started in 2007, and he is the lead for capital controls. coming from an agency that was doing a lot of capital work, the capital controls function within the capital program, i appreciate, is one that is extremely important but often overlooked. he has distinguished himself by designing custom tools to help track the many millions of dollars and dozens of projects that the agency influence. he assists in the design and development of a new quarterly reports that it leave you all received about a month ago. it is up on our website. very easy snapshot, easy way to see and get a sense of each of the agency was the capital projects and where they are in their timeline. he is known for his effect

this is a lot about them. being a candidate is not an easy endeavor, and you have to respect anybody who does that. >> you are all about to get an introduction to the fairly daunting numbers that the city is about to face. that the city is facing right now. the mayor, the way the process works, the mayor introduces his budget, the first part on may 1 at a the second part on june 1. then it gets handed off to the board of supervisors. this single most important issue is the budget. whether your concern is homelessness or transportation, parks, public health, fundamentally, it all comes down to how much money we have and how we are going to spend it. and looking forward, unfortunately, it is getting worse. the amount of money for spending is far outpacing the amount of money that is coming in. and getting our hands around that and how we're going to bring that into line is the biggest challenge. >> this is real reform. this is a real proposal that every single san franciscan can be brought to support come novembe

we make a lot of public works. given that some are not necessary, we have a very good fiscal situation now. even today there meeting in washington to decide how much money they are relaying to the union. >> i think brazil will have severe economic problems not far in the future. you state the history is a mecca less than the united states. i think brazil will not dwell long term. i do not know what you're talking about in china. china has basically two different economies. they have a privatized economy with tougher regulation. industries are having huge economic problems thing subsidize by very successful private economies. it is much less regulated. the united states is much heavier. we have a welfare system, too. a lot of these things are bigger. we're coming out of a bigger economy. dollars are much higher. the thing that is smart was finally creating currency. it is one of the united states problems. we have been creating money like crazy. that stabilizes the economic system. you have to look at the potential.

it was a lot of working-class folks. my father was a shore worker, my mother was an office worker at usc. my parents were divorced when i was 10 years old, and i moved to the east coast for six years before going back to california after high school. i went to school at uc santa barbara, graduated in 19988 -- 1988. i have lived in the excelsior since 1999. i have had lots of different jobs, but my main job is doing social work force and a disco, i have been a community organizer, i worked at a labor organization supporting janitor's working in our high- rise buildings. i was a legislative aide before .wr. i got to see how it all work from the outside, community organizations supporting young people, children, families, working for labor, and saw how city hall could be an effective tool for change and then considered running in 2007, 2008, and somehow, i made it. >> you were raised in los angeles, moved to the east coast. what made you want to come back and live in san francisco? >> i love cities. i never felt like i lived

there has been a lot of good businesses that happen at pier 38. you'll hear from a whole bunch more of us. you might notice that there is a real community there. there is a lot of interaction that is very positive for the city and i so i hope you will all work and help us in keeping that facility open rather than what they have said they're going to do is to close it and do minor maintenance for years which it's a derelict facility compared to what is happening there now. thank you. >> hi, my name is curt lynn. i'm a tenant at pier 38 and involved with the ship that we were just talking about. as you know, pier 38 have tenants that collectively are the single job business incubator in california. in this community, there is a lot of cross-pollination between the companies that promote jobs and business. we are part of the customer base for businesses in our area. several of the tenants serve the local maritime community in important ways. we expanded these maritime services and increased public access to our bay. there have been some public, toward

a lot of people keep year for jobs. and then potrero hill is very different because is kind of a new yuppie population, and little hollywood and dog patch. >> historical, district and has been home to shipyards, heavy industry, and a naval base. now, the naval base and most of the shipyards and factories are closed, but the environmental problems continue to impact the district. let's hear how residents are responding to the environmental and health issues they are facing. >> it was hard to breathe last night. i woke up coughing, you know? those are the things that we go through because of the contamination out here. >> this community has a history of issues, environmental issues that have been let go, just run amok. sitting in a meeting once with the health department, we discovered haphazardly that they had known for years that in bayview hunters point, african- american women under the age of 50 had the highest rate of breast cancer in the entire state, but the health department has noted for years, and they failed to

we make a lot of public works. given that some are not necessary, we have a very good fiscal situation now. even today there meeting in washington to decide how much money they are relaying to the union. >> i think brazil will have severe economic problems not far in the future. you state the history is a mecca less than the united states. i think brazil will not dwell long term. i do not know what you're talking about in china. china has basically two different economies. they have a privatized economy with tougher regulation. industries are having huge economic problems thing subsidize by very successful private economies. it is much less regulated. the united states is much heavier. we have a welfare system, too. a lot of these things are bigger. we're coming out of a bigger economy. dollars are much higher. the thing that is smart was finally creating currency. it is one of the united states problems. we have been creating money like crazy. that stabilizes the economic system. you have to look at the potential.

a lot of times, it was like this. a guy would buy a couple of lots and essentially build two houses and tried to sell them. or live in one. they did that all the way up to the 1940's. one of the last parcels a friend of mine lived on on 28 and cabrilla, which used to be a garbage dump, and in the 1940's, they build it over with sand -- they have lots of that lying around. >> this is parker studio boulevard in the richmond district. you are on the road, which is this piece of land. after the 1906 earthquake and fire, there were a refugee camps for and in a lot of the refugee camps, there were earthquake refugee cottages. these were small little portable cottages built on these camps, and the idea was you could live there, and when the camps closed after a bad year, you could take it away to an empty lot. >> you had to buy it. >> you could, but your rent would go towards the purchase price. by the end, they just wanted to get rid of them. >> in 1930, all of these were declared a substandard structures and the city wanted

aren't paying for it out of our federal income taxes like a lot of people think wer it's been a good system but has to be reformed andefined. if i was faced with no more fun, i would stand upnd say, i'm going to be more aggressive on tolling, something that everybody hates, but youave to have revenue coming in to fund it. i'm going to swoop up $100 million. if i was the president, i'm going to put it in and find $100 million and put it in private activity bonds and do a project streamlining until unemployment gets down ol all projects and lieve nepa -- i said it, until unemployment gets down to%. i would take this stuff and find every bit of leverage because that's what it's going to take. the money, you know -- nobody is going to agree to a tax increase. it's not there and we need to desperately. the highway trust fund -- it was not indexed for inflation. so the 18.5 tax, bause the cost of steel and concrete. we are going to have a longer term vision how we are going to replace this providing every ounce of leverage to get leverage for every dollar that goes into this thing is what

it's a lot of emotion. they want to make sure they penalty the person and that's the way at they take them to the church and the funeral. we want to go live to mac mag at st. mary's cathedral in the city where the services are just about to start. >> yeah. you mentioned the dignitaries, kent. we are expecting the governor to be here as well as gavin newson. and the thousands of people here standing behind me all lined up at thens transnow to st. mary's cathedral just an amazing outpouring of people from all over the country, fellow firefighters, police officers, nurses. just a real testament to the brother and sisterhood of public servants. we want to show you the procession that began earlier at about 11:15 this morning. it began in daly city at dugan's moreture rarery. the two caskets draped with flags being carried out into the fire truck from the moreture -- vincent perez and anthony valerio. some of the firefighters were calling them tony and vinnie beloved in the department. and the mass of course is

of people just become you know very defeated in a sense and i think that's why a lot of people in our communities turned you out to the drugs for example is a symptom of alienation feeling as if you're totally be in their own we can't do anything you know to counter the your profession that we face and that was georgetown university journalism professor chris chambers with rap artist and activist marcel cartier and. those not just the c.e.o.'s on wall street that seem to be totally absorbed in their own schemes without any care about the rest of the world around them it seems to so do many of the lawmakers in washington d.c. members of congress are once again bringing the federal government to the brink of closing overspending now if you're experiencing deja vu right now there's a good reason this is the third time this year that huge disagreement over spending has brought about a government to a stand up and there was the initial budget battle as well as the debt ceiling debate and now this standoff between the house and senate over emergency funding about three and a half billion do

a lot of people asked about it during the break. they will have a major action on tax day, and just for the people who arrived, they shut down bank of america yesterday in washington, d.c., because the bank of america does not pay taxes. you will pay more taxes than bank of america. look that up, u.s.uncut.org. >> i am sorry, i missed my cue. i have three boys. does that help you decide where i was? thank you for inviting me today. it is an honor to be on this stage and that celebrate the 100th anniversary of the right to vote. as i began to write my speech for this event, i really started to struggle with the subject. the first draft, the participants, and the details leading up to gaining the right to vote. the question that kept popping up in my head was this, 100 years later, is there enough to celebrate? have we made significant strides in our fight for equality? i kept ignoring the question pushing around my head. the thought kept buzzing in my head like a baby at a picnic. when i finally paid attention on whether we have made

not a huge fire, but again, it did cause a lot of smoke damage. now, the bouchon is a pretty popular bakery out here. it serves local restaurants and it's owned by the individual who owns the french laundry and the bistro. as far as damage, they are estimating now about $100,000. no injuries to report. live in yountville, claudine wong, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right, claudine. 7:02. in overnight news, two people at least have died in a fire on a cruise ship on the coast of norway and the crew is busy look for other people. others suffered serious smoke and burn injuries. the crew is trying to make sure all 262 people on board have been evacuated safely. the fire broke out in the engine room. >>> back here at home, a real dog fight brewing in one bay area park. kraig debro is live in berkeley now toty us about aggressive dogs that are making a lot of people nervous. kraig? >> reporter: yeah, dave. you said aggressive dogs. one person said it's not just that, it's the breed of dogs. another person says it's the owner. this is the park on hurst an

and don't have job opportunities you could only go to mcdonald's on the army for a lot of these are ok and mcdonald's is actually a really tough place to get a job these days they see lots of people show up in fear people get in and get into harvard a lot of their big days of hiring what do you make of the media coverage so far because there's been a lot of criticism by independent journalists that the mainstream media is not getting us at all i mean it was. it to people getting tear gassed people are getting beat down legally for the media to actually cover this they haven't been on this from day one which is i mean they cover the tea party very extensively but when they have so many different people come together this is a historic event and they should have been covering it from the beginning and sadly if it bleeds it leads and this is a perfect example of that case but even with the arrests and the violence that was the coverage that i saw in the mainstream it wasn't talking about why these people are occupying wall street you see those questions asked in foreign media covering t

you knock on a lot of doors, talk to a lot of people. some of the things were interesting, how connected a lot of people were to their schools, communities. people were involved in their communities in some many ways. we have neighborhood organizations. there are so many people actively involved in the communities, neighborhoods, our organizations, child care facilities, relationships with seniors, at the park. that was something exciting to see. there were multiple ways for people to be involved as residents and members of the city. i was stunned by just how many artists were in district 11. there are so many artists who are doing incredible work that do not have a venue within their districts to show their artwork. it inspired me and my office to sponsor artwork events, culture events. now we are starting an arts committee to get more funding, having the community be a part of deciding what kinds of parts we want to show. that was one idea that i learned from campaigning. >> what kind of art? >> you name it. we have people who make the

it was nice to go from iraq to then here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here and me so yeah that makes you know a good picture of myself it's better to see afghans looking at it in this context while wearing the uniform if you're in the right. to back that was. going to make and saying we're going to help you to discern one by being under distress how many danes and this are we going to help you where is the help. we can go to this thing to get to our kids are going into fighting and they do their own kids painted a person i don't indeed and. i do sympathize or understand what you're some were saying it's even just from the weather we've had recently people losing their homes and nobody to help them so when you have when you can feed yourself the earth how yourself are you to care about somebody you know six thousand miles away. so i can understand this because of about over the top of this you know that i never thought to ask those questions of. anybody here so why we're here amazingly in a country where for ten years a war has been fought with nine eleven as its ro

i think the park will serve a lot more people. it will serve the kids in the neighborhood. that is our future. the parking lot is our past. >> i am a nurse. i have lived in the neighborhood for 35 years. as i was sitting here, i wondered could we call it -- i didn't know if there would be conflict. i thought everything -- i did not think everybody would be for the park. now i do not have to make my arguments. another our children and families in san francisco who have had to leave because of gentrification. the park will help. there a child care centers in the immediate neighborhood. parks are places people can support each other, get ideas for jobs. there is somebody giving out food on sundays. parks are community places. i am glad there will be another. the environmental justice issue is so important in the southeast side. we do not have golden gate park or the beach. we do not have open space, ponds, and lakes. if there is an earthquake, we may have more streams coming out. i want to emphasize the affordable housing. i am hoping that with this part will come the affordabl

bill: a lot of applause in the arena last night. the least effective in that debate, did you score that, byron? >> you just played it. it was texas governor rick perry did not have a good debate and this was an important debate for him, because he had done well in his first debate, not so well in this second -- in this second, so this was going to show the trajectory of his performances. the thing that does not sit well with republicans, to them, to republican ears, it sounds like a liberal talking, it's kind of when romney -- like when romney was criticizing social security. so he. bill: it all contributes to the nominee, who the nominee is, what's the takeaway then? >> the impression growing in the few days since the debate, perhaps perry was losing, and i think that perception was probably strengthened now, so it's going to be interesting to see how his fund-raisers react, does the perception grow among republicans, perhaps he's not really ready, he's only been on the campaign trail for a few weeks while romney has been running fo

we are missing a lot when we do not see that there is a lot of activity going on. there is a lot more than the tea party, is what i'm saying, and we just do not see that coverage. can you talk about the changes you have seen in sacramento as the number of reporters has been cut in more than half? >> as i say, when you decrease the number of reporters and do not have as many seasoned reporters, the depth of the information decreases. and that is a serious problem. i think the solution is in fact that we have to accept the economic realities that we have right now. that is that the normal business model of having print media -- that model is not sustainable. you have got to begin to reinvent that particular model and then in its place are these alternative news sources. you have to then ask the question whether or not they themselves can fill that particular role. we have to somehow get that information out to the general public. >> do we have more questions? >> it looks like i may be one of the only people here that does not remember what life was like before the in

drives money towards education health care those those sectors are bloated and there's a lot of money that's being spent there in a very wasteful matter but obviously there are people who benefit from that wasteful spending because that's that's the source of of their income so there is it is higher in states you would see that is feeding off the public trough and you know rock obama is there to fill it up and so there are plenty of people that benefit from it and they helped reelect them in the course you know you've got. the drug companies i've a pharmaceutical companies benefit large programs for arms of benefit there are a number of companies that i think are direct beneficiaries of a lot of these government. programs a lot of regulations that stifle competition benefit the companies that are being protected by competition but i think the fire coverage suffers from these big government calls so if you know you run for office do you think that this is why obama's campaign election apparatus have not been as impacted by the economy as one would believe is that we're talking about no

they also sell a lot of ink. how do you get conglomerate with these systems rolling in the same direction. that's one problem. secondly, they have a devicive board. ray lang would say this is not the hp board of old. this isn't the hp board that spied on employees and reporters and solicited phone records. but yet the people we talk to, our sources say there must be something institutional going on where this board keeps chewing through ceos. >> i guess the basic question i have is this is a pretty big step up business wise. when she left ebay i think she left with about 16,000 employees and 300 employees at hp. and, she's a billionaire already. there is no guarantee she is going to succeed. why does she want this job? >> on one handing with this is a chance for her, of course, to refurbish her reputation. as far as the size, of course she has run nothing of this size before. she admitted to that. yesterday when i spoke with her she told me she has run large companies. she also pointed to her experience of buying

feasible means that it may require a lot more money, a lot more alteration to get that done. under the ada, you need to be surveying your property and putting together both a short- term plan and a long-term plan. the short term plan is going to be the readily achievable solution. the long-term plan could take 20 years. i do not know. your business might not be making huge profits. you may need to be saving money for the long term. but it is your obligation to plan for the long term as well as the short term. the ada has a set of priorities that guide you on how you will be serving your property. the ada says a certain party of getting in the front door, but you are logical, you want your customers to access your services. be that steps, be that ramps, if the door is not wide enough, if the landing is not level enough. priority two is actually travel. once you get into your business and start speculating the wits of your files. access to all of your services. [inaudible] rearranging furniture. that is something we would call readily achievable, if you move your table out of th

we have learned a lot and are well educated for going forward. please look for a written report on these proceedings by the end of the meeting. also we look forward to a report on april 13, 2009 of the joint hearing with the human rights commission by the end of the year. thank you all for coming here this evening. [applause] >> the meeting is adjourned.

the answer is a lot. because you are paying people a full salary to only be teaching half the time. >> do you by chance know who gets the most amount of money in, of all the universities for research? >> you mean? >> from federal grants. >> no, i don't. there are about a hundred universities in america that make up something called -- part of a club called the american association of universities. and the only way you get into that very prestigious club is by getting a lot of federal grant money. and there was actually just a couple of schools recently got kicked out of it. well, syracuse decided it was about to get kicked out so they left voluntarily and the university of nebraska just left, too. what was interesting is they were getting private money for some of the research but that doesn't count for the aau. you have to be getting federal money. so the prestige is all wrapped up in this must be public government funds. so at a time when we are trying to figure out how to cut back and how to reduce the

doesn't make a whole lot of sense, does it? it does to some banks, including citibank, raising its fees if you don't have a certain amount in your account. we'll tell you about this growing trend in banking and also tell it you how you can avoid it. from the cnn center in it atlanta, georgia thshgs is it your "cnn saturday it mornimorn 8:00 a.m. in atlanta, glad you are right here. let's start in reno, nevada, that air race that has left at least three people dead after a crash. we know at least 54 people have been injured and at least 12 of them considered to be in critical condition. take a look at the screen for just a moment. i'll show you the video in a second. this still picture really explains the horror of the situation. this is the last moment when this plane, right before it made impact on the ground at this air race. you see the spectators right below. it did not hit, even though it looks like it, did it not crash into the most crowded area, even though it could have, had it not been some say for the ak aks of t actio

so you have a lot of upfront costs. if a company wanted to run just one cable car, they had to start up the power house to get the cable car rung through the street. so it energy efficient issues as well. this is an interest street car. that was the new modern, exciting form of transportation. it was very energy efficient. each street car only used enough energy from the wires that it needed. it didn't have to run a power house. people were a little scared of them at first. the technology was a little heywire in the beginning -- haywire in the beginning. they could go very fast, but people thought they were too dangerous. but eventually trolley cars starting taking over. and in the early 1890's, the railway company started buying up transit companies across the city. wherever they could, they tried to replace the old forms of technology, horse cars and cable cars, with these cheaper, more energy-efficient electric trolley cars. the question was what to do with all the old cars. they had an idea. they took an ad out in th

there is a lot of doubt whether or not congress will pass that. of the european central bank has resigned his position over a dispute over the euro zone bailout package. that's a big problem for markets in europe and the united states. european markets are down considerably. the dow is down 178 points. nasdaq is down 26. s & p is down 16. oil falling along with that, oil down about $2.50. >> the good news is the markets are closed the next two days. >> there you golf always looking for a silver lining. >> thank you. >>> fire crews from around the country are heading to new york this weekend. a pair of santa clara firefighters have used their cross country trip to honor their colleagues. >> they also used their bikes for the road trip. daryl sails is on the phone with us. good morning to you. tell us where you are. how are you feeling? >> good morning. we're actually feeling really good. we spent the night last night at firehouse 6 in jersey city. it was our intention to come in and be able to look across the river into the new york city skyline. >

a lot of people were seeking my services. gulators want to make sure if your business is growing that rapidly that you have enough of a compliance oversight to make sure that all the rules and regulations are being enforced. the process of getting permission to hire more people, it's not just a simple form. it's a complicated document that needs to be filled out right and submitted. it's not an easy task, but i just got permission last week to grow the business. i'm glad that i got it. i would have liked to to have bn growing the business a couple years ago. i finally got permission to do so. >> mike: peter, jaws are dropping all over america. that's the sound i'm hearing, even in new york. people are amazed in a tough economy when people need jobs, the government puts road blocks between you hiring people and people coming to work for you. >> all regulations are road blocks. regulations increase the cost of hiring people. whenever you make something more expensive, you know, there's less demand. hiring people is very expensiv
