we do have a lot of crime in district 2. both crimes against individuals but also against merchants along our merchant corridors. chestnut. union in particular has been hit. fillmore and sacramento. it is a big deal. we also have the break-ins. we need to be very mindful that people keep their iphones and laptops out of sight. but it is a big deal. one of the things i talk a lot about on the campaign, making sure that we do fund our public safety departments. we have to make some tough decisions this year, but to me, one of the biggest priorities is making sure that we have our police and firefighters and sheriffs' offices and their budgets fully funded so that we can ensure that public safety does not lag during these budget times. again, in district 2, i do not think it is talked about as much. we are fortunate that we do not have a lot of homicides. we do not have a lot of those types of serious crimes. but the crimes that to happen to matter to the people in district two. so as a local supervisor, it is incumbent upon me,

a lot of the lessons learned there are in bullets from just 2007. why this discussion is important and lessons learned up there, the 2007 fires burned a little over 500,000 acres, destroyed over 3200 structures and caused 10 fatalities. so why this is important, as you start to read the fire weather reports that justin talked about as we go into this fall, the experts are predicting above normal significant fire potential across the northwest quarter of the united states. those of you who live in southern california are used to a phenomenon called the santa ana winds. when you take into account dry conditions, we're in the part of the year when those winds start to change directions, we do have the opportunity for significant fire events throughout the california area. so, with that, what i'd like to do is kind of focus our discussion on 3 major areas.. command and control, relationships and resources. with that, let me start off with the first question, we got a lot of discussion yesterday about command and control. i just wanted to give an opportun

so we learned a lot. i think a lot of this has been captured in the afteraction and i think if we have another iteration next year to definitely have a good starting point. >> we brought from the california national guard, we brought our quick reaction area force and we brought our ic for you so we had 3 different com spans that are cross banded, which is an opportunity that not all dod assets have. they have civilian internet and that is their primary mission, is to cross band between the military and civilians. it worked very well because the command and control element were on an ip common operating picture. some of our challenges were the radio communications. we got cross banded with san francisco but bringing in commercial satellite down to the marine force that would be on the ground was one of the challenges that we had to work through after the event. it was successful but it's something that in planning in an emergency we need to make sure that the correct satellite assets are down to the end us

i spent a lot of time as a neighborhood activist. like many of you, i spent many hours in neighborhood cleanups, using different chemicals to deal with graffiti; as a small business owner person i heard from hundreds of merchants. as a prosecutor i'm glad i don't recognized any of you. i recognize how difficult it is for the police and judges to prioritize. graffiti needs to be treated seriously. i want to thank those of you who were part of the 2009 program. we have an amazing rewards program; a graffiti advisory board to help us innovate. we feel that the best ideas are in the heads and the brainchilds of people around the world. how many are from california? how many from the east coast? welcome. i hope it's a -- in the west coast. how many are from the midwest and the south? thank you for coming. how many from canada? welcome to all of you. anyone from across the pond, europe? sir i welcome you to san francisco. i want to thank all of the city staff here lead by -- the department of public works. we know that graffiti impacts eve

we did a lot of work with the data. we did a lot of data, put things together. we did things like added value, added certain locations. and i would love to be able to pull that back up to a shared community portal. from what i can tell it wasn't necessarily promoted at this time, but i think there is a lot of value in that. and shannon, interrupt me if i'm speaking -- if that's -- if i'm stating anything that's incorrect. you know, i know that they went through a special process. maybe we make it a little easier, a little more seamless so that anybody is pulling down data and doing things, they can't push it back up. that was one of the things we would love to see. >> probably shouldn't have been in public, but we were very naive about the whole process and we were actually trying to feed content locations around the city. and started to do this and started to think there must be a list out there. there must be a list of every park in san francisco. i would find it in wikipedia. we stumbled into the sf data website and started looking. it was unbelievable, actual

now you found the officer, you got him figured out, i talk a lot about officers but the same applies to civilians, anybody sitting out in this audience. because my concept is anybody can be a graffiti expert and a lot of that comes down to training. where do you find this training? first it's police officers, we get a lot of it through approved training classes, things certified by the state, post-classes and that's fairly consistent in a lot of states that have a group that authorizes what kind of training the officer gets. articles and books, that's fairly self-explanatory. and really you wind up in the next group, which is the internet. there's so much stuff on the internet, if you are curious about anything having to do with graffiti, start googling graffiti stuff. if you get on you tube, put down tag crews fighting, that's not just battling with paint, that's physically fighting with altercations. the thing about the internet, sometimes people will ignore some of the major graffiti sites because we're out here to fight graffiti, why do we want to go to a graffiti site. a lot of t

i have seen a lot of elected officials. i have not really seen that so it rivulet nice to get to see it. >> a hand was up or repair? where are you from? >> i'm from arkansas. a lot of people do not get to see what various tv stations report about. there is a lot of bipartisanship going on in washington not reported on. we spoke with multiple centers that had lunch with the president's just a few weeks ago. just a week ago. republican senators, 12 leading republican senators appear the president talked about how he was really happy to work with the senate and all the republican senators noted a lack of partisanship on both sides. i think in terms of what is going on right now, i think it will start getting a lot better. everyone made note of how gridlock it had gone and how much they are trying to change that. being in thisink program, my roommate is from , soe and i am from arkansas there was a bunch of cultural shock to get used to it showed you the other guy is not trying to hurt the nation. andink programs like this p,owi

it is a lot harder to get there. this is a huge milestone. the financing thing, they were hoping to ride a little wave of publicity of that. they hyped it up. it was a big super secret announcement they would make. basically they underwhelmed a lot of people as soon as they made it. the stock went out when they announced it. if you watch the after hours trading after the leasing announcement on tuesday, it just started drifting downward. >> david, tesla has been a political football. you know, republicans love to compare it to solyndra and they still do. is it fair? it did get government assistance. is it out of the woods? still it is still not a loser. it is not a solyndra. >> no, it is not a solyndra. in terms of whether it is out of the woods. you would want to see several years of solid profitability before you say something like that. still, they have much, much farther than a lot of people thought they would. you know, there is a comparison you can make here because there is another california car company that got the same kind of loan

that's not true in a lot of countries. the natural reaction when you come up with a new innovation or idea or something like that, those not positively affected by that scream, try to get the government to stop you. that's still happening. the government, itself, is less likely to come down on you because you disagree with the government or the way you are doing something or an existing practice. that's important. another reason it's important innovation is special to the united states in my view is that we're the most -- this goes against the immigrant -- the melting pot, the most heterogeneous culture by far. it's occurred to me more recently that's a good thing and bad thing. the good thing is there's diversity of opinion for new ideas. you go to japan, expect the japanese all group think. they don't have the word for "no" in the culture. everyone agrees. it's, like, everybody's going along, and it's very difficult for them to disagree with the prevailing view. in the u.s. company, it's different unless it's a strong bos

. >> i like macy's a lot. a lot of put value. >> the stock goes higher with higher container board pricing. >> we'll see you monday. >> there were twins trading millions in a currency that most americans have never heard of while their nemesis stole the show on immigration. big names carrying big sticks and we got a look at the average bob billionaire. >> welcome. special edition of power lunch. maria in the house. the eyes and ears of wall street. good as always. robert on money, power, and spending of the world's ultra rich and business insider. henry, goo d to have you with u. leaving court yesterday. he is being charged with insider trading after admitting to passing inside information about his clients to a golfing buddy. a california jeweler named brian shaw. they both admitted and both were immediately contrite. if anybody can talk about this in an informed way you can. secondly, how up front they were about admitting what they did. >> this is a classic insider trading case. you have somebody with real

san francisco has not taken on a lot of growth. and we are see a reversal of that plan and it is not that the office park and the jobs will disappear but in those areas we see a concentration of employment close to transit and services. important to recognize the increase of latin os and the aging of the population and two-thirds over the next 30 years will be a senior population and that relates to how our housing production is changing. and we have been introducing more single family homes, but in 2000 to 2010, which was not a decade where they had a lot of housing pro-ducks, but the pro-ducks is shifting towards multifamily housing and in fact san francisco plays a major role is the first plan that the city is experiencing and producing multifamily housing and high-rise and residential development and that is a neat pattern for the city and county for the region. and so how are we embracing those trends and the plan b area. so you are familiar with the priority development area with the framework that was developed not just with

it really is a tribute to so many and a lot of faces that i'm looking at this room tonight. it comes down to as always people. i'm going through a few moments here to give a real thanks to people who made this night and the next two years possible. i'm going to list a couple of company names, but i want to think of them as members of our community that made this project possible. that included, bloomberg, guchie, it includes the partners, magazine, california home and design, magazine, aluminum illuminary sponsors and the folks tonight. and, you know that first level of impossibility. i'm going to list some agency names. it comes down to a lot of people in this room to make it possible. my first phone call in this project was to cal trans. in cal trans working together with the bay area with the mayor's office here in the county of san francisco and coast guard, official wild life, all of these came together to find a way when typically the system is designed to say no, people found a way to say yes to this project. the arts commission, this collusion support from the san fra

i have had a lot of bosses. to go from being a mentor and his spouse's boss to seeing this role reversal, i thought how will that work? i am used to being the only 0-- bully. i has been amazing. issue --ng with the public engagement and intergovernmental affairs in the council on woman and girls. known.e not what do you see as the greatest compliment -- compass that you have been able to achieve with those divisions. to encourageis people who are out there where the rubber meets the roads, ma yors to give us their perspective and tell us how well we are doing affects their lives. there is a range of constituencies who are deeply affected by the decisions made in washington. our goal is to wake up and think about them. peoplebout the american and their challenges and the opportunities we want to create for them. he has said in the first couple of years he worked so hard on getting the policy right that we did not half as much time available for the engagement and bringing in fresh ideas and getting outside of wash

and seeing there's a lot of opportunity like iron ore and other products. if so market can shift a little bit more and we can continue to build our project. we've been good to develop our products. we need the market to shift a little bit more. i think also for the great unbelievable at pier 80 i think there's a great opportunity for bringing in more steel direct to rail and out to the u.s. via the rail infrastructure. and there's also a lot of projects that are ready to get underway like the trans bay terminal or the central subway will be receiving the first tunnel bore project. hopefully, we'll find a press release on that. but there's a lot of opportunity to bring the product in by water or if it's domestically source we would like to bring it in by rail from domestic sources. a lot of the trans steel needs tow be espoused by the federal funding. we want to take advantage of it >> thank you. so we have some public comment. first (naming names) >> i've known david for fourteen years and i've also known murphy. i appeared with him when he used to sit on th

you are talking about an area that effects a lot of people. about a quarter million people in and around this watertown area has been told to shelter in place. but at the press conference they said they were expanding it to the boston area. and you talk about mass transit being shut down that effects more than a million people. the scene you are looking at right now that is what we are seeing across that area with swat teams making their way through. thousands and thousands of police officers have basically shut down the city as they are searching for the suspect. again a lot of information just coming in rapidly into our newsroom. we will keep following it and keep you updated here on the morning news. reporting live from the newsroom claudine wong ktvu channel 2 news. >> in two hours the san francisco marathon team will start a run in honor of the boston marathon runners. tara moriarty is there at the start of the race where the team says everyone is welcome and pleasurer wear -- and please wear the colors of the boston marathon blue and yell

a lot these guys get jumped into a tagging crew. three ways to get into a tagging crew i know from speaking and interviewing all these guys. you either get jumped in, you get bombed in, which means they go around the city and bomb, or if you're a girl, you get sexed in. who does that, too? gangs. they do the same stuff. and we have a big syndicate that just went out. we just finished it up with a tagging crew. beer runs and cigarette runs from convenience stores and we have [speaker not understood] in phoenix. seems like every corner there's a 7-eleven. we call them circle k. they're doing that. it was all for the benefit of their tagging crew. this kid right here is from -- he lived -- what the heck is that? i don't know what that is, i'm going to get out of it. this kid right here, he's a 16-year-old kid and he lives in a suburban area of phoenix. that's not really who he is or what he's about. how good is this intel? you can literally see in his face right here when we zoom in on it. it talks about how he hit it up. it talks abou

there's a pentive nature to a lot of the housing organizations. ey, if you have a problem you're out, so that is one of a list of things that we have on our agenda, code enforcement. working -- i know tommi you talked about working with the san francisco land trust. it's something we're interested in. perhaps obtaining a piece of land or property where folks can own part of it where it could be theirs and have ownership. we did work in regard to the grab bar and phone jack legislation we worked with the mayor's office on disability for technical advice on the grab bar issue, how to mount grab bars because a lot of the sro hotels are old and not ada compliant so there is wriggle room there. with that being said perhaps we can work with the task force to come up with a technical guidelines about fighting homophobia in terms of housing. maybe we could get together and work on that as well. if somebody's being insulted, intimidated that is something i take very personally, and our organization do anything -- we will do anything in its power to fight th

>> you tea to take a lot of things into consideration. road you have, if there's a shelter ex-if -- if you're in the car and also the speed of the storms but you have to take that into consideration weapon you're out there. it's kind of like playing a big chess game in the middle of nowhere, where these pieces are continually moving and you may have other storms coming into play, so you have to know what you're doing, not to put yourself in the path of one of these. >> neil: seems like this guy knew how bad a storm this was. sometimes experts say they can look ominous but don't end up being ominous but he was noting things being sucked up into this thing. too you look for that o injures -- what are you looking senate. >> well, it's very difficult to rate the tornado by a video. someone from the weather service has to doon assessment, and if it hit any buildings they can use the structures to determine the intensity of the tornado, or if there was a radar truck in the area that could get a velocity on it, which i don't think was the case wi

a lot of people never had a land line and went straight to cellphone. it's why emerging markets markets won't be the answer. >> it's also capacity. same thing that boeing and airbus jammed them up with too much capacity. then they had to take if out of the system which doesn't happen overnight. most people use far less of that pc than they use of their brain -- >> except for you. >> except for me -- and tim. but if you're only using 10% of that computing power, why would you need the upgrade and the refresh and all the rest of it? do you really need a terra bite or two terra bites of memory and all the rest? most of us don't. that's why they're not selling, bottom line. >> we didn't know a lot of about intel on tuesday when they report. the market sold off today in intel. you got to believe the quarter's going to be lousy. we'll see if they've caught up on the mobile front. this stock has underperformed now for 18 months give or take. >> earnings will be key for this sector because if you look at insider selling and what's going on specifically in the t

obviously a lot of severely injured people everywhere. w a pair of women's boots that were just lying on the middle of the ground. and then there were just a lot of casualties. >> bill: did you see the people who were hurt? >> i did. i mean, i was pretty close to the second explosion. and it was bad. i mean, i saw some graphic stuff. i mean, you know, i think that area of the finish line is so incredibly crowded that anything like that, either going to be a lot of people standing around. no matter what, you know, there are a lot of area in that area. >> bill: all right, chris. we appreciate you taking the time tonight. let's go to george so he can -- scogill who was a block away from the explosions. can you tell us what you saw there, george? >> sure. i was actually in a department store i was at lord and taylor in copley plaza. i heard the first explosion and the building shook. there was visible construction going on nearby building. i didn't think did t. was a prank i thought it was construction are demolition thing. the second one went

we do a lot of tree plantings. all of you must intuitively go, "of course it's good to plant trees," of course, i want to put a rain barrel on my house." but is there a measurable environmental impact? trees are going to take up a lot of stormwater over time and are kind of a long-term green investment. we've had more than 200 volunteers come out planting street trees. we need people to make active changes on their property. and to reduce the amount of flow that's going into the combined sewer lines, we're trying to install 4,000 rain barrels. narrator: homeowners can disconnect roof gutter downspouts from the sewer system and divert the stormwater into a rain barrel. schombert: the rain water then can be used to water lawns and gardens and infiltrate back in the ground slowly, rather than being piped to a creek where it disappears moments after the storm's over. it's being held within the watershed and it helps regenerate ground water and stream flows. hecht: that's what we're going to do this afternoon is think ab

and a lot of interruptions. but in the midst of it, some of the most sophisticated detective work in the world is going on on the crime scene a couple of blocks behind me. first of all, the video. they have it from multiple vantage points, the finish of the boston marathon. and including the camera on the lord and taylor department store, surveillance camera, that is really located right across the street from the second bomb blast. and there are images of a bag on the ground that we're seeing, we don't know if that is the bag that exploded that contained the pressure cooker bomb, but there are promising leads nonetheless. even so, all day long today, investigators, technicians have been collecting physical evidence. there was considerable activity along boylston street. we saw people in white jump suits looking from the ground all the way up to the rooftops for more evidence that they could find. and they have as part of that investigation come up with fragments of the bombs including the pieces of the pressure

it will bring a lot of jobs. this project sponsor has a very good knowledge of labor and he know about sick leave and he's in the process of building a hotel on 694 mission which was approved with no continuances no opposition and was very similar to this project. this has no parking so there's no additional impact on the parking lot thing and the project sponsor does give a lot of things out like childcare fund and those are projects we require in san francisco. jobs are created in san francisco like this otherwise there's no money. so you've got to have projects to do that. a lot of support i mentioned local to and john and the hotel and traffic birthday, san francisco travel. and i do want to ask project sponsor a few questions. durable the continuances i did ask to get involved i was never called for that. by you did hear about some of the things you've offered. i heard you had offered to hire within the neighborhood. i mean, there's local for the construction hiring is dictated but i understand the project sp

san francisco is a city of refuge for a lot of folks. poor, not poor, college grads, gay lesbian youth, immigrants. but we're not a nation state. we're not going to close our borders. we need to be responsible. but that data does suggest that folks are coming here and it's not working out for them which is why we started the program when we did eight years ago. >> supervisor wiener: thank you. >> uh-huh. >> chair farrell: supervisor breed. >> supervisor breed: thank you. i just had a few questions about jobs now program, and wanted to know specifically what is happening to help deal with the transition of employment for jobs now. for example, people may take on the responsibility of someone, and the assistance to pay them through jobs now. but there comes a point where the jobs now support runs out, and then typically sometimes we've had situations where that person is laid off, and then they're collecting unemployment, or it just -- there's no transition or no link to a maybe long-term job opportunity in maybe another field or something

the way it works is a roth 401(k) works a lot like a roth ira. it allows you to place after tax do dollars into your contributions and you're able to take this money out tax free. the difference is that there is no income restriction. that's the difference is that you are able to put in this after tax money and then take it out tax free and that's why a lot of people are very attracted to it, particularly younger workers and people who don't have, who actually make too much money to contribute to a roth ira. >> is this something you can get no matter with where you work? >> many employer es are starting to offer. we're looking at about 37% of workplace retirement plans that now offer the roth 401(k) option and that's according to fid fidelity. fidelity is the largest retirement provider, 401(k) provider, in the country. we're also looking a t the fact that in 2009, there were only 22%, so it's increasing. >> so, there are some new rules also governing roth. there are new rules that apply to them. what are they? >> that's why it might be more attr

not a lot of volume. up almost 3 1/2 months in relative straight line, if this is any example of the kind of selloffs we're going to get, it's not what the bears are hoping for and what they would like to see. melissa: you know, we're going into the weekend here. we want to prepare our viewers for how they will trade next week and what is going on. what is the number one thing you're looking ahead to next week, teddy? >> earnings. earnings. earnings. i mean it is all about earnings. the expectations have been pretty well-guided lower. so far we haven't been overwhelmed or really underwhelmed. pretty much coming in as expected. but as we get into the meat of the earnings season and with stocks priced where they are, doesn't leave a lot of room for disappointment. let's hope this earnings season turns out to be like all the ones in the past. where lower guidance turns out to be a red herring and numbers come in better than everyone expects. melissa: teddy weisberg. you're fantastic. have a great weekend. lo

a lot heals wombs. you know me. i do pray for kelly. thank you prayer for the medicine and serving it steering its job. and i can get a brain with less and less. and have love. bill collector. it's a good thing then you can register i would have a home a weapon in the pile right here. and that's the way it's done. every game and i wish it was the mentally ill. it's the pits. this research. is recent. this is his crash to get rid of. but it's also a treasure. it's worth fighting for. and a trap with no way out. that's a meteorite. ten thousand tons cudgelled through space towards russia. with the power. of a nuclear bomb. sky full on r.t. . p. . s. live. soupy keep cool i keep. the book about international apples in the very hot.

at that point, a lot of media stood down and went to other subjects. then we started to hear the scanner traffic, related to a chase that extended and really got everybody's attention, once the discussion of the heavy arms came out. once they started to talk about the improvised explosive devices, home mead bombs and hand grenades, dynamite the. we heard an exchange of gunfire with the police officers. we heard that -- they had hand grenades. all of that is inconsistent with someone who wanted to get involved in a simple robbery. this is someone who was armed, quite extensively and usually, there will be a reason if someone goes to that effort. to arm themselves. have you many, many agencies, state police, watertown police, boston police, all out here. a lot of informs, with the federal officers, federal agents are on the scene here. we have bomb units on the scene here. very active scene. still information that there is one person at large, informs that one person has been taken to beth israel hospital, informs that one person has been taken into custo

stockton has made a good faith effort to make cuts in a lot of different places. the fact what the judge said today is that pensions were not the problem. pensions were not what sent the city into bankruptcy. if you're a city manager, you're making thousands of budgetary decisions. >> how do you conclude that? maybe might have to face the cut at this point, right? i don't think you can draw that conclusion. >> well, what he had said. that was part of what he said. another thing he said, the wall street creditors seemed interested in one thing. only interested in negotiating with the city if they're willing to reform the pension system. he said they didn't seem like they were negotiating good faith. so that's a problem, as well. but i also want to sort of correct the record a little bit here when we're talking about the size of these pensions. i know people talk about them being these sort of golden parachutes that people can live off for the rest of their lives. the fact is the average pension is about $3,000 a month or $36,000 a year. now, i know a lot of people c

again, a lot of these things are just based, we might not see a whole lot of schools but he has a whole other job. we used to go out and do two performances a week so we were doing 16 or 18 but it's just -- with the manpower shortage, since 2007 our theater department has lost like 40 percent of what we usually do. i know that noel's department, he's lost people and programs and hopefully things are going to get better. >> it says a lot for the program when in rough budget times, we're still around. so we meet a lot of students. >> success stories of kids who were going the wrong way? >> as a matter of fact, the first couple semesters, where we did a break out session, where we break out with the teachers and their students and one of the actual kids said, you know, something is going on in my house, my brother's a gang banger, the house is abusive, and that breakout session, that child actually reached out to us. we were able to get dps to actually pull her out of her house so it's a good venue for those kids to express that. >> i had a fourth grader who told me, he said if they think

seen a lot of video coming out over the last 24 hours or so. we're going to take a short break and we'll talk on the other side to a washington post reporter who was actually running in the race and had to turn right around and start reporting. we'll be right back. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 when i'm trading, i'm totally focused. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 and the streetsmart edge trading platform from charles schwab... tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 gives me tools that help me find opportunities more easily. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 i can even access it from the cloud and trade on any computer. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 and with schwab mobile, tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 i can focus on trading anyplace, anytime. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 until i choose to focus on something else. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 all this with no trade minimums. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 and only $8.95 a trade. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 open an account with a $50,000 deposit, tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 and get 6 months commission-free trades. tdd#: 1-800-345-2550 call 1-866-564-1336. >>> back here live in bosto

we understand a lot about it. we feel there -- there is a tremendous amount of work that needs to be done in understanding autism. there is research underway. there is growing awareness regarding autism around the country, including world autism awareness day. >> what questions do you think need to be asked in order to get more answers? >> the questions that need to be asked are many. first of all, the early detection efforts. if we can detect autism sooner, we can do more early intervention. second of all, informing parents and family plebs about what it is that you can do and what the options are once you have a child who is autistic. thirdly, no one understands it. so perhaps there is research, one wants to get to the root causes of autism. >> professionally, what's next for you? >> i am fooling very good about the future. some opportunities may be in the public sector again. right now i have to take care of my family and live up to be what i consider to be my highest moral responsibility. so i will be working

it makes sense for a lot of other reasons and i suppose that we could put a lot of growth on the tops of hills, and that would give us above sea level rise and defeat a lot of other purposes that we are trying to serve here. i will conclude on that point with the time line which shows you where we are headed, and which we hope is a july adoption, i know that several members of this board will be involved in voting on that. either as members of abag or mtc and we will be happy to answer any of your questions today. thank you mr. chairman. >> thank you, very much. commissioner mar? >> thank you, i wanted to thank them for the regional public hearings that have been going on as well. i see from the east bay and other places how much you get beaten up for trying to plan wisely and how to for a more sustainable future and to reduce the greenhouse gases as well. dy want to ask, i know that there are different proposals from the right and the left that are brought up from the equity organizations and environmental groups on the left and on the right. tea party to libertarians and others. and

and we've seen a lot of change in a very short period of time. you're a young audience for the most part, but i think you're all old enough to remember the permanent republican majority that was going to happen after 2004, remember that? [laughter] that was going to be ushered in in part to the american people's opposition to gay marriage. do you remember that? how did either of those things work out? by 2006 we were hearing a completely different story. the democrats retook both houses of congress, by 2008 barack obama was elected, national journal called him the most liberal senator. and then two years later there was this tea party, quote-unquote, revolution that happened, and republicans retook the house, gained some seats in the senate, picked up some governorships, and everybody said, oh, see, democrats, now they're out. it's going to be a permanent setback for the democrats. it was so permanent that it lasted about two years. will[laughter] so my point is politics can change quickly. even though we live in a 50/50 country, they say, and th

and i think that's a lot of what they do. they actually did a pretty good job over the last couple of years shifting their product to meet the demand of who was in the market. so they did shift a little when the move-up buyer was there. they can shift back to the first-time buyer if that buyer comes back into the market. >> reporter: first-time home buyers have always been crucial to the builders. but tight credit and competition from all cash investors have kept many of them sidelined. these buyers usually make up more than 40% of the home buying market. today they're at roughly a third. the builders are trying to get them back in the front door. but with rising construction costs, home prices will likely do the same for nightly business report, i'm diana oleck. >>> time to our guest who says investor sentiment is improving, even with all the stock market volatility. he is hank smith, chief investment officer at haverford investments. you know, hank, it's hard to see investor sentiment improving, especially after day like tod

i do a lot and the i learned a lot. i am excited to be able to know th they -- that i will have a future. and it's important because the youth is the future. and the youth is struggling with a lot, and it's crazy. i don't think you guys know how tough it is for the youth. and take in consideration that bya has helped a lot of youth. and our budget has been cut, and we need money to have another bya next year. thank you. >> hi, i am niece, and this program also helped me to be constructive and do better things instead of going outside and doing things i shouldn't be doing. i graduate this year, so they helped me to get paid and to go to prom and stuff. and i just love doing it, and this is my second year. last year i was a youth advocate and this year i am a peer leader. and i love it and i have fun here. >> thank you very much, i want to say we are here to promote racial harmony. it's needed not only in district 10 but city wide. but we can't do it alone, we need everyone's support in the youth and in the community. tha

lots. we are not told that we are not going to build a parking lot. period. in the city. end of conversation. there is no negotiation on that. but doesn't seem to be any negotiation on moving the bike lanes to any other street at all. there is no negotiation. the earlier question the commissioner white brought, are they doing something about it? yes they are meeting but there are certain things seven stone. we are not going to do this. us, we are going through a lot of sitting at meetings and do nothing. >> commissioner ortiz-cartagena: i know private sector vendor, what was the old mattress shop, off california, with the big parking structure? >> vanesse and california. >> commissioner ortiz-cartagena: i know that that is where the city planning allow the conditional use. and just a comment. steven i know you and your heart and your spirit ,,and i know everybody here the spirit in san francisco is to be progressive but also inclusive. there is a gentleman out there, five generations, it would not fair for somebody in the agencies was not from san francisco eliminate a sm

a lot of transfers happening here. a lot of people taking those transit services. things that we have done before in the area we adjusted the signal timing on numerous occasions and the all red clearance which

>> i think i have to agree with a lot of what steve has said. basically there is pressure mounting on commodities as a whole for quite a while. melissa: yee. >> for gold factors i have to mention, who are the biggest buyers of gold? they're central banks. and their behavior recently has changed. it is not just the imf but also e.u. has a negative bias on gold. cyprus is looking to sell gold and probably next to follow would be greece. and even the countries that are traditional buyers of gold, they put sort of a halt on buying further gold. in india, for example, india is suffering from massive current account deficit problem. what they have done is, they have removed the incentives to loan money to buy gold because that wouldean selling the currency while importing more gold. melissa: okay. let me,appening onon, let me stop you there. steven, we're supposed to be talking about oil and we're not. that is very telling because gold is at the forefront of everyone's mind in this breakdown really seems to be something significant to a lot of people a

us a lot to think about. i want to commend the collaborative spirit and commend the chief. i also want to say a number of community groups spent a lot of time and a lot of individuals came from all parts of the city. we were in the western addition in bayview, we were in the sunset. a number of organizations, and i don't want to call them out individually because i'll forget some that were really commit and had did a lot of work. i won't say that ultimately all of their findings or all of their positions about the police department were ones that i found to be in total agreement with, but i will say it is inspiring to watch members of a community participate in the process. and i think that this is a good example that when people with fresh eyes, as commissioner turman explained it better than i did, the two of us and the chief listened and struggled with what's going to you -- ultimately keep our officers safe and the community safe, i think we reached a consensus this is the right path moving forward. so, th

so, there's where i would look for a lot of beta. t judge it on one day's move. >> i would be scared of this move. i would be scared of this move. i think this is a short covering rally by guy s that could take chips off the table. a lot of people leaning against this. >> all right, let's get a market flash here. josh lipton at the desk what are you watching? >> hey, melissa. j jcpenney, two headlines. one, bill ackman throwing down on the man he picked to turn around the retailer. the criticism is well deserved, ackman said today of ron johnson, ackman said. the retailer today starting to roll out its new home furnishing departments. that stock finishes up 2.5% today. melissa, back to you. >> josh, thank you. karen, jcpenney. you believe this move here, maybe there are signs of life. maybe this home goods rollout, better than expected. >> maybe. maybe. maybe a unicorn will dance through -- i don't know. i can't rule it out. but i just -- >> love unicorns. >> do you? >> rainbow unicorns,s herb esp. >> i'm sure the stores look fantasti

. >> wow a lot going on. i want to thank everybody for putting this together and thank supervisor avalos for the work that he did to provide the lgbt community some structure on housing and i am here to advocate for myself as a senior disabled lgbt person, and i last march was threatened with eviction after 20 years of residing in my unit which is in the knob hill tenderloin area and prior to this i was a volunteer for two and a half years at the housing rights committee advocating for seniors and also for all of the community of san francisco and i had to relinquish my counseling duties because i was harassed, intimidated, and threatened constantly to leave my unit, and it went on for one year, and after one year, which started in march and ended in around december, they were refusing my rent and they were holding my rent for two months at a time and have no reason to why. the reason they weren't cashing my check because they had to talk to their lawyer which is totally unbelievable, so with senior disabilit

are there a lot of people? ine for a friday morning. you know this area very well and a lot of crowded area and a lot of colleges in this area and you are not getting that at all. you do have a police presence like on every other corner. very, very little traffic to speak of at all except for law enforcement. so, you know, we are definitely in lockdown mode, but not nearly as clamped down as i thought it would be. hey, listen, everyone is taking this very, very seriously and we are all up here hoping that it can be resolved very soon. >> yeah. you're a ways from where the action is, unless there's something else amiss in the area i would imagine that even though they're saying be aware in boston, it looks like everything -- you probably have your tv on, bill, it looks like everything is happening in watertown. >> it's all west with of here, but we are -- >> go ahead. >> we're a couple of blocks from the finish line and all of that whole area is barricaded. >> which hotel are you in? you don't want to tell me or
