economics, but i actual, without even having those numbers in front of me knew that this was going to excite usi actually know that when we unveil this tonight, the feeling that i'm going to be having, is we just won another world series because it's going to bring that kind of excitement into city. and to have this timed in a way in which we have just finished the 75th anniversary of the celebration of the bay bridge, we have opened the auditorium and on our bay for the first time we have just finished the world series and the 55 sealing on our bay is a celebration for san francisco and this incredible rebounds that this city is experiencing can really only be complimented by the arts, because allows the arts to celebrate all the other things that we are trying to do economically to be covered, i think is an incredible cap on our future on what we can experience and exemplify to the rest of the world. this leaves me to an appreciation to the artist that he has not only visualized what 25,000 led lights can do but discovered a fashion in which will not see the same pattern at any time experienc

exciting park. >>> mayor lee is here with us today. i think it's very appropriate to reflect what we are celebrating here on the immense responsibilities that he and the administration have. mayor lee, i know i speak for all of us in expressing our deep gratitude for everything you company and your administration does for taking on these dramatic responsibilities. it's mind-boggling for the things they has to anticipate and prepare and the immense responsibilities that he has to take. i would like to thank him and his entire administration for taking care of this great business. [ applause ] i'm the chief investment officer, now it's my pleasure to welcome you all here for the official ground breaking of 350 mission. it's appropriate that we look forward here and we do celebrate this. the ground break ing in one sense represents architecture that is going to be added to san francisco already iconic skyline. it's a celebration of san francisco once again setting the standard for exceptional livable urban environments. i don't know if st

. >> what excited us the most is we saw what the other guys were doing.h, we can do that. >> and boy do they. on a spectacular day over england, mike and andy together with their buddy steve jump from this plane. >> i'm climbing onto the outside of the airplane. mike is coming out. the guy is diving out with us and flying down. >> mike inverts his body and here's the moment of genius. the surfboard becomes an ironing board. >> once you're on it, it's good i felt him doing the ironing. >> andy ford is behind the camera. >> once he's got hold of the board, i think we had about 15, 16 seconds for me to move into place and kind of like the aerial tripod, as it were, for the camera. there's quite a few things to try to get right in 45 seconds. >> all this is happening at 120 miles an hour, with the guys in free fall at 5,000 feet. >> i think that's one of the things i love to see with the best extreme ironing examples. this was right up there. don't know how many creases they got out of their shirts, though. >> steve turns to me with the iron in his hand, the

us the largest employer in the city. today we have already more than 800 thousand square feet in san francisco and we expect 1.8 million square feet by 2016. that is tremendously exciting for us. we continue to grow and higher the talents that this city brings and enable and people that want to join our mission and are passionate about not what we are just doing about technology but our broader things and -- san francisco stands for power and passion and the need that makes technology go. we are powered with the community and leadership and other departments that share our vision for the future. also as the mayor mentioned we are extremely passionate about giving back to the city. right from the beginning we had a one one model from the beginning. that's the one percent equity and one percent of our product giving back to the community in the form of free donation to non-profit and we've given $40 million in grants and 445,000 volunteer hours and today as i travel around the world i meet many of our 18,000 non-profits to manage their organizations. now, this tremendous 350 mission building will be a key addition to the downtown san francisco campus. we couldn't be more

us from step to step. it's been easy. there was live music. people are so friendly and excited. so excited for us. >> it's really great. >> yeah. >> and salvador is party a here to known as party a. >> on the out it looks pretty simple. you come in, you made your appointment. you pay. you go here for your license. you got there to get married. you go there if you want to purchase a certified copy. behind the scenes, there was just this monumental just mountain of work, the details into everything that we had to do and we quickly realized that we were not ready to issue the numbers of licenses that people are anticipating that we would need to issue. we definitely did not want people waiting in long lines. this is somebody's wedding. you want to be able to plan and invite your family and friends. know what time you are able to get your marriage license, know what time you're going to have your ceremony. >> thanks for volunteering. >> we got city volunteers, we got members of the public volunteering. we had our regular volunteers volunteering. we had such an overwhelming response

which i was created- and that happens to encompass the label of al-islam- it makes it even more exciting for us. i've enjoyed every moment of it, and i pray allah that i will die a muslim- every muslim does. >> dr. salam, let me just pick up quickly, and then we'll open it up to some questions, but there's a real sense in your wonderful talk here and in what we're understanding about islam of real inclusiveness- that it is all peoples. i'm sure there's some questions in mind in the class. i know you're also an associate of and know fairly well minister louis farrakhan- you already mentioned him before. there's a lot of misunderstandings about islam, and one is that islam, at least in the black experience, is pulling back and away from this inclusiveness. can you help us out in understanding what is going on with the minister farrakhan and how that relates to your particular mosque? >> yeah, well, i figured that would come up, particularly in this time- he's been really in front of the news right now. in fact, i spoke of him this morning, and i've known minister farrakhan at least 30 years, so h

so critical in our city and to see the change happening and the maintaining going on is just exciting for us and couldn't be happier. >> at the project you're involved in today not only are you clearing the lines but making the park more welcoming and accessible and make it safer but making it healthier and we're going to be creating an exercise or walking track around the perimeter of the park. this is a really important park for the community for health, recreation. the hours of sweat that you have contributed today have been really meaningful and i don't know if it's [inaudible] working on and you definitely look like you're working. congrats to the warriors. >> i planted that tree. >> [inaudible] >> happy earth day and that concludes my report. >> any public comment? okay. we are on to public comment and members of the public may address the commission that are in the jurisdiction of the commission and do not appear on the agenda. with respect to agenda items your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached. i have two cards. lena emory, kelly watt and

what was exciting to us about it is that when you come into this room and just clapped your hands, it

. >> because people are real excited to use boats but they're not necessarily sure of what to do in a dangerous situation. >> if you got in something, a situation that's dangerous, then you might get hurt yourself or endanger others or something. >> boating-safety classes are available all around the country through various organizations. to find one near you, there are links on our website. and remember, it doesn't have to be a big boat to get you into big trouble. >> accidents can occur anywhere. an accident can occur on a little kayak out in the bay in your backyard. it doesn't really matter where you are. if you don't know what's going on, if you don't know how to be a safe boater, you can get into an accident anywhere. >> once you know the basics, you can set a course for fun. >> there's still lots ahead, so stay with us. >> we'll be right back. >> s.a.t.s, a.c.t.s, the dreaded essay. there's a lot you need to do if you're hoping to go to college. but there's another thing you should have on your college "do" list that many students overlook -- scholarships. carina has some infor

all of us are very excited about that in term of making it easier for us to get around the city. also providing automatic passenger counter information to folks, additional information on transit vehicle and also bicycle information. one other area that we're working on that i know is of great interest to supervisor chiu and others is the information in terms of temporary closures of streets and temporary street closures, but also the ongoing street closures. i understand that's a very urgent area that has been? some delays on that, but we put it a number of times recently in mapping the processes and are hoping to put both the static information in terms of ongoing closures, but also the temporary closure data out mid to late summer as well. so, we do -- i don't want to under estimate the challenges internally associated with that, but we're putting a great deal of effort into that as well. just want to give you a brief summary of activities underway. >> all right, thank you. >> and i just want to briefly comment. i want to thank you and the sfmta for the data sets you put out t

this is really exciting for us. >> we're going to tell a quick story on how private data can stimulate civic innovation. this summer in singapore, we had about 30 data sets opened p. up. one data set was about a million or so records of taxis all over town. typically taxi data stuff, it's hard to get, private companies, they don't want to open it up competitively. one taxi company at the last minute opened up, motion loft made it efficient to see what would happen. because they contributed to the stuff, we had five separate teams working on could we do collaborative consumption of sharing taxis, build a dash panel for companies to know where to go. had i hatch i had been working on a model to see how much overlap there was. they sent us to tokyo to work on that. so, this one set, a million records of where the taxis were not only led to a lot of innovation, but people realized 15% of all taxi routes kind of where people went, about 15% of that was all overlapped. so, a city that never really thought about collaborative consumption or sharing suddenly is looking at that. parking data wa

exciting. we're trying to promote school readiness this money is given us to so we can do qualify improvement services. they wanted us to build this high quality setting in the neighborhood where we have the lowest schools. but all our schools about benefit from the funding there. so here now john walked out - but here's our sustainability. we do have a sustainability plan. our beginning balance this year was $16.6 million. the reason we have this plan is because we've used prop $10 because we spent it we did accumulate a fund balance. we're spending out that fund balance so we'll zero identity in june neo 15. and i'll tell you how we're using that reserve. are the 3 and 4 years old if live in 70 we're filling the back cuts and that restores the kits that the state made for all the 3 and 4 beyond a reasonable doubt and this includes head start and other large community programs and this covers about 4 thousand children. we also developed a strategy called 3 year plus and we've got about 3.2 million annual. this is to provide all day scholarship for children that don't have access to a quality environm

excited are you guys? >> sometimes there's just nothing more useful than a post it note. this guy's life revolved around post it notes for quite awhile creating this video. it's a tribute to some of his favorite video games. this was created by a guy named michael. this first tribute is mrs. pac man. >> this had to take 50 years. >> this took him 11 months. this was all done using photography. >> he used thousands, as you can imagine, thousands upon thousands of post it notes to create this. >> for each move he had to change so many post its. >> he had to refix the position of the post it notes. he did this all over his office. it was done at his office. >> incredible. >> then we go from mrs. pac man to donkey kong. >> it looked like this. it looked like tiny blocks. that's what post it notes are. that's why it looks so good. >> he even has the mallet. >> this is one of the coolest things i have seen in awhile. >> as far as post it notes go, this is the best use of them. that's our show, everybody. see you for the next edition of "right this minute."

excited. >> to tell us more about this amazing experience, we have carl and hope via skiep right this minutedid you guys have any clue that ashley was pregnant? >> no clue. we stood here coming over for my birthday party. first of all, they were sneakers i already owned. you can't regift them. read the card and see the card and it said, you always said you were going to start running again. well, now your feet are going to be chasing around -- >> that's so cool. hope, what were you thinking in that moment when you heard the word grandparents? [ screaming ] >> from the moment they got married, i said, i'm going to have a grand baby to hold? they said mom, just chill. so then had they said -- i'm like okay. is this really or not? then when i found out it was, i was pretty excited. >> so you had a pretty good grip on the dog. did the dog make it okay through the night? >> the joke is that that's not my dog. that's their dog. that was their dog that i threw over my husband's shoulder. >> how long did you have to wait? how long -- >> too long. >> too long. >> i can't believe it. i can't believe i

excited about it. >> for someone who used to work at the hall of justice that building is going to come down. we need to make sure that we are ready with the command center when the next big one hits. another reason that i am excited about it is when the fire was burning in 2006 it took 96 hours for that fire for come under control. my understanding is that this building even if all of the grids are knocked out, even if the electricity does not pipe through san francisco, this building is designed to be operational under the most primitive circumstances for 96 hours. but, part of also why i am excited about this, as a city we are a city that knows how to rebuild and how to take our steps forward and we are the phoenix and this building, represents the very best at what san francisco is going to be about as we take or we move forward to deal with any challenges or any adversities that happen in the 21st century, thank you so much for being here. [ applause ] >> as supervisor chiu said, these bonds are very important, and we have a few department heads who the public works department has had th

. >> he was excited to use things. he loved the idea of tweets and shaping things to the media, rather than say criticism has to be only this way. he loved bringing in people and other voices, my far-flung correspondent, what do you think? >> my favorite quote i've seen from him today, he said something along the lines of two things any clear minded person should maintain is being curious and being teachable. that's a precious commodity for a critic to be teachable as much as they strive to teach and why he want thrive in the two way online. >> in looking through obituaries. even though he's very famous and well compensated, he wrote back to an 11-year-old who wrote him letters saying i want to be a film critic. he argued with people. he brought himself down to the level to be interlocutor. i love this clip of film dance where there was a film about asian-americans. a white audience member said why did you make its with amoral depictions? >> i find offensive and condescending about your statement, nobody would say to a

>> well, the big thing, which is exciting for us, the core product of truck leasing, which is reallygreements where we lease and main tame commercial vehicles for customers, that has, as the economy slowed down, was slow in coming down. many customers waited to renew leases so a lot of those units got to be old. that affectedded our earnings in the maintenance cost of the units went up; however, over the last six months, and certainly in the quarter, we saw customers now -- even though there's uncertainty in the economy, they are confident enough to renew those vehicles and renew with new units helping the bottom line for ryder because of the lower maintenance cost and help earnings. liz: lower costs when it comes to what could potentially be a boom for every trucking company, but ryder is at the fore front of natural gas powered vehicles. you guys started making investments earlier than other companies, but right now, there's a report out of ups making a big, big investment here. they are going to do a vehicle fleet, planning to purchase some 700lng trucks, liquidfied natural gas, w

we are taking a look at some of the most exciting technologies in elevators. george, tell us about destination elevators. >> this is the technology of the future. probably the biggest single investment in elevators. san francisco has embraced the technology more than any other city in the country. a big advantage with us is passengers get to their floors sooner and there is more opportunity of customization of features for individual service. four issues of security and accessibility, this is a big advantage over traditional elevators. digest i understand these are rehabilitated upgrades of existing elevators? >> yes, these are upgrades to the original elevators from 1980. all the controls and wiring has changed but the physical mechanisms are the same. >> how much energy to these use? >> with all of the things that we did hear, energy savings is about 50% from where we started. that is a significant improvement for such a major system. >> tell me how it works. >> this is the hall keypad, which controls the elevator. the system asks where you are going before you get into the

and it makes a future very exciting for us. david: stacy smith, intel cfo, good to see you, stacey.iz: i think you met may 16th for that announcement. meantime we have more breaking news on the developing story of american airlines flights have been grounded. just remember before 2:00 p.m. eastern time they had to shut everything down. no flights taking off. they have mass cancellations. systems have been restored but they still have to work cancellations through the system. it does expect continued flight delays and more cancellations for the rest of the day, but, and this is key, american airlines sees no evidence that the technical outage is related to bombings in boston. people get very touchy and nervous, and people are watching airlines very closely. david: yep. liz: let's make a deal. two billion dollars deals were announced in the last two days. is this a sign m&a activity is back or are we reading too much into that? we have your outlook and how to play it next. if you've got it, you know h hard it can be to breathe and man, you know how that feels. copd includes emphysema
