[applause] >> and we are just as proud as the job that our general manager brian sabean did to put this group together. let's give them a big round of applause. [applause] the san francisco giants are the champions of baseball this year because of a lot of work, good, smart work done by lots of folks for decades and decades. we are up here today because we are standing on the shoulders of giants who preceded us. applause for all those guys who built the pyramid who got us to this summit, please.

[applause] how about what this guy did, not just in the regular season, but in the post-season, the series clinching home run. started i guess against the phillies in game 6. the three-run homer started in game one of the world series, shortstop juan urribe. ooh. sounds good. this guy was also his season cut short, and we will be seeing a lot of him next year -- outfielder, infielder, a great guy. mark to rosa. played in 29 regular-season games for the giants. he is an infielder, an outfielder. in the regular season, there were lots of heroes for the giants, but nobody had more big home runs, seventh inning or later, down the stretch, bay area native, grew up a giants fan, outfielder tad burrow. [applause]

bruce feiler, welcome back.l that when we did your book abraham, we started with a quote. let's do it again this time with the council of dads. i'm going to go to chapter 18 and string together three different quotes. here we go. first quote: "bonaventure cemetery, just east of savannah, has two side-by- side stone gates at its entrance. the gate on the left has two chiselled stone pillars capped with female figures cradling crosses. it is known as 'the christian gate'. the gate on the right has similar stone pillars topped with stars of david. it's called 'the jewish gate'". now i'm going to skip a bit to the next page: "i gave the attendant my surname. she disappeared into a musty back room, then returned momentarily with six worn yellowed cards. each contained the name of someone interred at the cemetery, the date nd place of the person's death, along with date, style, and location of burial. the names were my great-grandparents daisy and melvin feiler, my great- great-uncle edwin cohen, my grandparents alene

i will bring bruce up. >> thank you, good morning. i will spend a couple of minutes to explain the work we have done to date. starting with four elevation that we got from tim hawkinson, we defined the geometry of the sculpture. we then build a structural analysis model which contains the mass and properties of the elements in the sculpture. we then applied gravity when an earthquake occurs into the analysis model to understand what the effects of those components are on the structure. not surprisingly, earthquake forces dominate in san francisco. therefore, we are proposing seismic isolation of the structure. seismic isolation can enhance the seismic performance of certain buildings. city hall was actually seismically isolated. in this case, the sculpture will reduce the seismic demand by least 50%. so we are therefore proposing that the sculpture sits on a concrete plants. that is on four concrete bearings, which then sits on top of the foundation. the components will be connected together by the drilling coring through the various

my name is bruce wolf. i occupy seat 8 and served on the sunshine task force. i am here today to support mr. grossman for the appointment seat on to the ethics commission. i want to first report that yesterday at the capitol, we reported that california gets a d-plus imn terms of transparency in government, which is important for this particular appointment today and for the commission, considering and san francisco we have a very strong sunshine ordinance and we also have a very functional team of watchdogs on both sunshine and ethics. this is very important for the city. we want to make sure we get the right person in place. mr. grossman has been very helpful with many issues, but sunshine and ethics -- both sunshine and ethics. i like that he is not affiliated with any political or business body. he is retired. he has 50 years of experience, which is very important to us. it shows his civic engagement. i think it would be commendable. because he is also in retirement, he can attend and dedicate a lot of time to this position, which i think is important consi

zito met with manager bruce botchi that says he knew nothing of the story. zitto says he was most upset about a portion of the report that says his work ethic and physical readiness has slipped. zito plans to be part of the giants rotation and doesn't want to be traded or cut loose. >>> diamond backs play tonight. mark ellis had a pair of hits and 7 oakland pitchers combined for the win. >>> the warriers on a 7 game road strip, itto getting a start in washington. warriers up three in the final seconds and make it nine as curry hits a three with a tenth of a second left. and some nice flash in the 3rd quarter and howard will lose the ball and curry passes the ball to jerome rice who then plays a two man game with monte ellis and in the 4th quarter with less than five minutes to play. the warriers are up by seven. serena williams is recovering from a serious mel scare. williams has been battling complications from an injury in july when she stepped on broken glass at a restaurant. she suffered from a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot that traveled to her lungs

and i was struck, though, with a show with 162 references, how much like lenny bruce that was, which was, lenny bruce used to use racial epithets over and over and over again and saying it doesn't mean anything. take away their power. and you absolutely captured that today. and yet, if your mission is to sort of push the envelope, to do what others wouldn't do, to find comedy in new and different places, will you run out? i mean, are there any standards left? which is exactly why-- obviously now, it's not like we can do a show-- "oh, let's do a show where we say, you know, the "f" word 162 times." you know, it's like it's-- you've got to look for new ways to do it. [voice quivers] but, you know-- (stone) no, but sometimes-- we're always fascinated by-- the reverence, like, "oh, you're doing this, and this is new." and we're like, "thanks, but there have been "a lot of people doing this stuff, "from norman lear with all in the family to lenny bruce to george carlin." i mean, it isn't, brand-new to say the "f" word, you know? (divney) you know, when married with children was on fox, th

he takes over for bruce pearl who was fired for recruiting violations after six seasons in knoxville. 39-year-old martin said he did his homework about possible and/or future vols penalties before he left missouri state. for more, let's welcome in andy katz. why is tennessee a good fit for cuonzo martin? >> well, cindy, i have to refute a little of that from cuonzo. because there's really no way of him knowing. they just have no way of knowing what the committee on infractions is going to do to tennessee in june. they're anticipating that it's going to be directed much more at bruce pearl because they fired him in advance, so they're hoping that more of the penalty is sticking to him and his staff. a lot of these times, that's what the schools do. they try to get rid of the players involved and hope that the ncaa will come down a little less lenient. in talking to a number of people that have been on the committee of infractions, they can see the transparency in that. so i think it's a little premature for him to say that and for the a.d. to say that because they don't know. there cou

bruce springsteen. >> springsteen. >> jimmy: he was the best. jimmy: well, you have so many fun things on your show. >> so, i got him, too. i got him, too. on my ipad. >> jimmy: i mean, i love him, too. i'm trying to think of what else i'm into. you got the strokes. the new record's really fun. >> they're here tonight. yeah. >> jimmy: and they're going to be fun tonight. [ cheers ] they're really good. >> yep, yep. >> jimmy: now, when you -- you -- just recently you started getting crazier on twitter? >> well, this is the -- >> jimmy: you've been on twitter. >> i have. but, you know, jimmy -- i'm not very good on twitter. but the twitter people came to my office because i'm twitter challenged, and they gave me a lesson. they gave me a lesson. they said, in order to be good at it, you have to respond to people. >> jimmy: yeah. >> so lately -- i know you do it all the time, because i follow you. so lately, i've been following people on twitter and answering questions. you know, people reach out to you. and i've been following them, and then twitte

after finding out the news from skipper bruce bochy, bell provided the most raw emotion any of us haven in years. >> as soon as i walked in, he said congratulations. you made it. >> reporter: what was your reaction? >> i immediately started crying. you know, i try not to be too big of wuss, but it's hard when you've been dreaming of this your entire life and it finally comes true. it doesn't seem real. i've got a lot of emotions i'm trying to contain. thank you. i hope i can get out of here and call my dad soon. >> there is crying in baseball, the good kind. >>> bruce bochy. two out, bottom nine. giants trailing 1-0. mike fontenot singles to second. eli whiteside drives him home with a single to left. that ties the game. whiteside to second on the throw. next up is chris stewart hitting .321. he rips a single to left. if you're patient behind that guy, there he is, whiteside gets game winner, 2-1 giants and the bay bridge series is over and the players want the real games to commence. >> i'm just excited about getting started no matter, i mean, spring, just tried to get ready for the s

what role did bruce carson play in writing the federal accountability act? hear. hear. [applause] [cheers and applause] >> order. [cheers and applause] >> the honorable member. >> the honorable member. a conservative budget is not meeting the needs of quebec in the area of cultural development. they contain no assistance to improve the income. no my money in the film industry and no inclination to restore the programs for touring artists. furthermore, remember that last year programs were cut by 7%. does the minister of the canadian heritage realize it's difference to qua beck and -- quebec and culture in the election? mr. speaker, for years everyone in quÉbec as asking for transferred and a million dollars in 1994. 1995 and instead of continuing to interfere in the quÉbec area is with new research chairs that it's announced the budget, the government shouldn't spend about the $800 million that are long-awaited. does the minister of finance realized it is to go back and post secondary education system that could provoke an election? the honorable minister of human racer

when you and -- >> bruce? >> no. that's a fun story. another morning television show. i said, hello, bruce, it's so good to see you. are you happy now? because bruce has been married as many times as elizabeth taylor, pretty much. he said, i'm dating the most unbelievable woman. i am so in love. i am gone. i said, is it somebody i know? he goes, no, you wouldn't know her. she's not in the business. he was just gonzo. i said, well, i might, i lived out there a long time. he goes, her name is chris kardashian. i went, chris kardashian? we met when she was pregnant and you threw her the most incredible bridal shower. >> her and i still talk about this bridal shower and it's 30 years later. >> when you put on a party, nobody puts on a party like you. >> exactly. i try to tell my kids that every time they want to get married. i say, i can put on the party, let's go. >> but you throw on the guacamole and it's a party. it's the way you put things together. i said, oh, my gosh, i love chris. tell her hello. >> we connected and the rest is histo

the giants beat the diamond backs and barry zito had a meeting with bruce bochy today after reading thele story which indicated that the team is exasperated with what barry zito gave them and that they would not oppose buying out his contract or working on some form of relocation but the buy out, he is owed $60 million. so good luck. the piece in the article said he was not keeping himself in good shape. one year ago gunner sandburg beat in the head, suffering major injuries. if you remember, he was nearly killed. back on the diamond playing, also the company easton bell unveiled a new pitching helmet next monday to help prevent these type of head injuries. good news is, he is back playing playing the game he loves. serena williams could be out for up to a year. she has a blood clot, discovered in her lugs and also has a hematoma. she was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism last week. hasn't played an official match since last july when she won wimbledon. he health problems have been hard, scary and disappointing but she hopes to bounce back. tomorrow evening some form of lock without on

>> good afternoon, bruce wolf. i have nothing more to add the, other than to say this will be an excellent appointment and please urge you to do so. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. public comment on this item is now closed. colleagues? any comments? >> thank you. this is one i have given a lot of thought to. historically, this is a seat that has always gone to the supervisor who has the most seniority. two years ago, supervisor daly asserted his authority to take the seat. this year, it would have been my turn, but i decided against it because i spent a lot of time following mtc. what i did not want to perpetuate was a cycle of a member of the board taking the spot for two years. i think it is critically important that we appoint somebody who is able to put in some time and get into a leadership position. the example i would point to is our colleague in san mateo county. he just became chair after six years of serving on mtc. if we just kept doing the most senior member, it would be a low level member never g

bruce has an excellent reputation in russia as a university city and the next day i met up with max outside the architectural faculty. and it sounds like studying here is no picnic. well james this is my university this is actually. the first year was the most difficult one. many subjects that we had to. study professional stuff you. everything related to construction will be. pretty intense stuff this is a six year course and students can choose health way through three want to specialize in architecture or construction. grocers have around twenty people taking lessons in cold basics but also getting a chance to put their imagination into action. just think about this beauty james where do they get this the city is here yeah it's where irish. and buzzing builders have a chance to examine materials they might use and down in the department labs you can do just that. so of course if you were involved in construction it is more likely important to know how strong the material you know using are so in the name of science we must sacrifice this block of concrete. and then we went. around a minu
