one achievement is the connection of the new crystal springs bypass tunnel to the system. this was early in the reporting quarter. it required one of the most risky and challenging shutdowns of the entire program. the water enterprise deserves a lot of kudos to pull this off. we have completed 52 of the 108 shutdowns. on march 11, we started tunneling through the new tunnel. that was a major milestone. another milestone was the delivery to our project sites. they started rising in the last few weeks. this was still in japan during the last major earthquake. earlier this month, at the annual project management institute scheduling conference, we received the innovation award for are very innovative systems that we use. the cif as well as our control systems. we also recognize how they were using that system to deliver our program. a summary of what was rewarded during the reported quarter. the first were actually awarded during the quarter and were presented savings totaling $120 million. the last contract shone for the calaveras dam is pending. it is one that that is befor

that's a crystal ball that would be very hard to look into. it's like a nine-leve. you have so many variables. again i i the key is you don't want the lib -- i think the key is you don't want the libyan thing to turn into something like algeria where you have a huge insurrection. you want it to be about libyan i understand pen and freedom and dem creation -- independence and freedom and democracy. if you're an american you don't want it to become about islamic extremism. that's really the critical foreign policy question for this administration. >> alan, do you think it's important for the united states to make gadhafi look like a non- presidential leader? senator lindsey graham said today on fox news sunday he believes he's a legitimate legal target because he is the head of the military. >> i think again that's a very difficult disputed question, but i think the key point is here is we've got to keep our -- point here is we've got to keep our involvement strictly limited. we don't want to to be a five to eight year war like we've seen -- want it to be a five to ei

we do not have a crystal ball, but neither do our wholesale customers. we're always trying to figure out the most reasonable estimate. this assumes a slight reduction, however not as much of a reduction as we have seen. on average, it has been 4.5% lower on wholesale demand. we heard earlier today that even in the current year we are down another 4.7% on top of previous down years. in addition to that, we have provided an insurance mechanism that in the event that we are wrong -- because we do not have a crystal ball -- that we will have a trigger mechanism to say even if we are below the prior 1990's ration level, if by a longshot we are wrong, we will have a trigger mechanism to be calibrates rates based on actual delivery through sept. and add on 9 cents in july if we are wrong. the next slide in particular went to what commissioner moran has asked for in the past, but also as commissioner torres it is questions -- what does it all cost? it is gallons of water. we are showing for you on slide four just what a heck of a good deal we have on water in th

meghan rice is in crystal city with more.( prices keep going up and , up another cent overnight. and we're approaching the $4 a gallon mark for the national average for regular gas leap and probably going to reach that at some point this week. take a look behind me here, look at the sign here. $4.17 at this gas station. so many gas stations in our area, people are paying over $4 a gallon. so certainly not good. it's gotten downright expensive and painful to fill up your gas tank here. the national high for gasoline, the record that was set back in 2008 was $4.11. and we are expected to see prices like that again. and some analysts think we could see $5 gas by the summer. the high prices have meant that many people are driving less. they're actually cutting back. they say they're leaving their cars at home. now, we talked to two men who say they're doing just that. in fact, today, they're even car pooling. >> it's ridiculous. i can't handle it. i live in maryland, but it's getting there. you see that down there, don't you? it'

i think we have seen the anger brew, and crystallize. so i think next year is going to be even more dramatic with the back drop of the federal presidential election. >> they did get the attention of the top guy. tells us about his response to -- and why was wells selected? >> well, wells is the nation's largest mortgage originator, the largest servicer over those mortgages, collecting payments. but he said no, we're not going to agree to a moratorium. he said that basically inhibits the process. he is saying, we need to not delay the inevitable. and when somebody has foreclosed upon to sell the house, get them out from under that mortgage, he did note that the typical mortgage going into foreclosure is 16 months behind on their payment. 25% of those troubled homeowners have already left the property. so he was trying to give the bank's side as well. but this is a hot-button issue. and i think it's even beyond -- as powerful as wells fargo is, it's going to take some type of response from the federal government as well to really get to th

and i would agree that it is not -- it is a little less than crystal clear that this appeal is dealing with the 700 cab nets but i think -- cabinets but i think arguably the title of this notice says, it references the entire project, and then in the second part of the paragraph it discusses the cadex itself and what it does. and, for example, that it describes the project as involving placing additional fiber through at&t's existing copper conduit and references communications cabinets, so this -- if you read the entire notice, it does reference the cadex that it's being appealed from. the way to correct this if you're feeling this is less than perfect would be to renotice the hearings. but the problem with that is that of course we don't know whether the remain -- whether where the remaining 700 and something cabinets would go so there would be no way to know where to send -- where to send the letters. >> through the chair. isn't the whole point here is that you want to give a more reasonable description of what you're deciding so i don't know exactly who the notices are mailed to. b

to me i think very historically crystallizes what we are learning. that was a story in 2006 by the environmental working group where they analyzed the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies and found an average of 200 chemicals found to be toxic in every single baby, man made synthetic chemicals. when we see this picture that babies are being born into the world polluted with industrial chemicals it is time to say how can we do things differently? how can we do things differently? that is the question that essentially we took to the world's largest beauty companies starting in 2003 letters, phone calls. who thinks the companies were wanting to have this conversation? unfortunately they weren't. we encountered a lot of evasion, excuses. first they ignored us. increasingly they are having to have this conversation because people are become withing more concerned and the companies are having to face up to it. i think, you know, when we see this information, too, we realize, all of us are contaminated, we understand the choices we make intimately affect

we imagine they have all these crystals around them and exaggerate their virtues.and we become sort of addicted to them. the brain scientist say that love inside the brain works very much like a cocaine addiction. it is not an emotion so much of a state of need a desire to become completely fused, one with another. itel high school students so they don't believe me that every course they should take in college should help them decide who to marry. that is the only important decision they are going to mencken their lives. if you -- a good marriage produces the same happiness gains is making $100,000 a year more. if you have a good marriage and a bad career you'll be happy and if you have a bad marriage and a good career you will be unhappy so every course should help you make that decision. none of them believed me, none of them do it but in those courses and and that desire to fuse with one another we get the sense of essentially who we are, that we are divided by skull, divided by consciousness but deep down we deeply want to interpenetrate one to another and that
