the whole gifting thing -- people were sharing things. it would have been in bad taste to sell things. one year, firewood. they desperately want offsite to do it. we did not think it was evil, but we just thought it was tacky. and we stayed true to that sort of thing. it would be too much to expect, we are going to make it not commercial. that is how people are going to bond to our brand. not even rupert murdoch would come up with that. we just did that because it is what made us feel good. now we are thinking, with the burning man project -- it is interesting. my partners and i are thinking beyond our lifetimes. it is a bit of a legacy project. which is really interesting, an interesting exercise. that makes you feel differently about the present. so what would make something that durable? what would keep it alive that long? we have been alive and have grown for a quarter-century. it may not be hard to imagine an entire century at all. now we are found in an institution that will house and generate culture, and function as a community. w

stolen credit card information on gift cards. >> the same information was encoded into the gift card. >> reporter: panera showed us their card. police are trying to track down how the thieves did it. they likely used an electronic machine to transfer the codes. the owner of one credit card notified the store. >> they looked into it. looked at the receipts and the footage and sought same vehicles and the same men were doing it over and over again. >> reporter: on saturday 32-year-old ricky evans, 50-year-old glen keller and 50-year-old kenneth reed of baltimore were caught and arrested at the pump. three suspects, two cars and multiple credit card numbers now put to rest. >> everything involves stealing makes me mad. >> reporter: evans, keller and reed are charged with retail theft, fraud and conspiracy. police aren't certain how the diesel was being used in the baltimore area, if the three had their own business or if they were selling it, cheryl conner, abc2 news. >> we're working to help you protect your family from credit card fraud. first, don't put your pass code or pin numbers a

number one, gift cards. we've all received that gift card for a holiday gift or birthday present we feel we're never going to use. if you have one of these laying around the house, gift card rescue is a service that will take your unused gift card and send you a check for it. if you have a gift card you've used up or it's outdated, gift card recycler will take those and give you points for the number of cards you send in. number two, cooking oil. it may seem odd but there are several recycling centers. biodiesel firms and individuals that will actually pay now your used cooking oil. prices range from 33 cents to 66 cents a gallon. might be a good idea for a restaurant, for example. number three, trash. terra cycle pays you. this is best for schools, organizations that have a lot of trash. they will donate money to your cause for every piece of trash you send to the organization and they are willing to pay for your shipping. we're talking candy wrappers, juice boxes. pack it up and send it to them and they'll

. >> for love is truly the greatest gift we are given to share. love's compassion is the glory of life. >> i work in the juvenile department. the mayor asked the liasson from all departments. i wanted to be a part of this history. some parts i wouldn't want to be. this part was really wonderful and a joyous occasion and a long time coming. it's absolutely the right thing to do. to bring 2 loving people together, in helping acknowledge and certify that relationship, i find really wonderful and a joy and one of the most pleasurable things i have ever done in the city in my life. i will be continuing this afterwards >> when i was conducting the ceremony. some of the friends said, now it's real, now it's legal. in other words, they had gotten married before. this time, it's legal. you know, a sanctioned. it was hard for me to get to the end. i was starting to get emotional too. >> it's really one of the most extraordinary gifts to be given in life and that's to participate in a ceremony where you can celebrate the ultimate gift in life and that was fa

. >>> talk about a gift of a lifetime. san jose is now preparing to spend the biggest private donation in the city's history. a $4 million gift that will mean big things for children in the al valley. >> reporter: we'll start with what the donor wants and that's for it to remain absolutely anonymous and he also wants to kick in some of his own cash to rehabs that are used by the almadan valley children. apparently one of his almadan valley natives loves soccer just as much. anonymous donor is adding $4 million to the 3$3.1 million fo the updating of these fields used for practice. >> they may look good from afar, but there's a lot of problems with them. there's gopher holes in there. >> at leland high school -- >> i can't wait. every time i go into fields meetings and we try to come one a schedule to fit all the teams on these practice fields, we're trying to find homes for them and it's so difficult at times. >> reporter: it will mean more time for coaching as well. >> right now when it comes winter time and daylight savi

about the deaths, -- gift, the gifts part of this thing. there is a division of understanding. i will see what other members of the board have to say. >> i am happy to start. this is something i know i have brought a lot when we talked about taxis and the gift or tip culture does disturb me a lot as a lot of people have pointed out here today. so many of our taxi drivers are recent immigrants and the come from countries where bribes, graft, and corruption is a standard operating procedure. i absolutely hate to think for them that their first experience with american-style business is something that is similar. i think it is easy for us to understand the nuances between a $10 bill or a $20 bill and a slice of chocolate cake which is distributed among the entire staff but you have to put yourself in the position of someone who is new to this country who might not understand there is the nuance and might not understand they're not obligated to do that. i stand firmly in favor of this language. >> the language that is there is the existing language. is it changing to a fine level?

i'm not even going to pay that because this was all a gift. you intended to give me a gift.ou gave me a gift. i'm not going to pay it. so he is jilted, what is it, hell has no fury like a man scorned? he is going after her in court trying to get everything overturned. if there is a written agreement that says this is a six-year balloon repayment on that note, he's getting nowhere. she is going to be in there for six years without paying one dime on that note. >> that's right. >> really. avery? >> yeah, look. i give the guy credit. he is 73 years old and falls in love. it's been characterized as a luxury condo in manhattan. $775,000. that's not a luxury condo. he gave it to his 27-year-old girlfriend. fine. so even if he can establish that it was alone and no interest alone the first time he can go back to court is in 2018. >> my gosh. >> there is no case there. so the bottom line is say good-bye to the lawsuit. the earliest this guy gets back into court is 2018. >> meantime we're seeing a lot of pictures of the dancer and natasha dimon walker's attorney did release this stat

as a member of congress, you are not allowed to accept a gift valued over $200. so the government took away his back again. tonight, we cannot replace the bat that was taken away from that young boy. but we do give them something that we hope will take its place. ladies and gentlemen, i present to you the first ever recipient to of the lifetime achievement award for services rendered to the asian american community and services rendered to our nation. i give to you secretary mineta. [applause] >> i cannot think of a more appropriate gift tonight than to receive this bat. i want to thank the mayor, and everyone, members of the board of supervisors, for hosting this event tonight. all of us who have had the privilege of serving in public service have gone to that point because we were standing on the shoulders of those who preceded us. i want everybody here to remember that whenever they do in the future, bring everything you are and bring everything you want to the jobs you are going to be doing. there are tremendous opportunities that are out there. asian-pacific

. >> yes, but you know, he reveled in the gift of language, actually. he had written poetry, actually. and in some way, he turned to this incredible facility for language into an adoptive instrument, into communication, really. what he hated, kirsty, robert was a great hater of the meretricious and these sanctimonious. he hated theory-loaded discussions about art and the hated the audacious, finely dressed explicit nest of the artwork. what he loved was the rough craft of art. he went along with michelangelo and rembrandt in believing that you labor physically with art before you could get a yield of true greatness. >> did he have all blindness spot for some conceptual art? -- a blind spot. he did not have a love for conceptual art, did he? >> was not keen on the. but i will tell you why. he was fine with conceptual art so long as the concepts were banal. he said one painter's concepts have all the profundity of a sampler. i think what bob minded was the notion that those who did not, as it were, take the conceptual artists were the height of intellect.

lawmakers are allowed to extend a gift of no more than $10. >> after a spring characterized sit-in'sprotests over school closes in march is nearly 38 the house and kids are starting school again tomorrow. many children and their teachers will be adjusting to new school. there was some reshuffling of staff last week. nearly one-third of the special ed teachers were assigned to new schools before the start of instruction. this year, 39 tore schools will be operating in the city. >> it was an impressive season for the boys of petaluma. that little league team gave it their all this weekend. they did end up losing against tennessee 24-16 but what a game the bay area is still very proud of the team. this is a photo from their face a page. the loss does not diminished by an amount the congressman these kids made while the world was watching. cox at them of the citizens of hell arrived earlier. the little league world series has brought the town together. >> it has really made our town feel like it did 40 years ago, the enthusiasm, camaraderie in support for these kids is tremendous. >> it

we just said, everything is a gift in our city. you cannot buy or sell anything. there is no advertising. you are not surrounded by this nattering pandemonium of commercial messages, which is so relentless. and lo and behold, we discovered, had a certain point in a community, when everyone is giving, -- people began to have experiences that were revelatory. they began to feel like they were in touch with that unconditional reality, which perhaps in their youth they identified as their life's goal. it creates a world in which -- just saturated with meaningful encounter. and it seems to have been contagious because people have now left our event and they have left our world and they continued to do activities. they did not go to a festival and say their appetite. they came back and tried to change their world. that is why we are starting this burning man project. we think there is a law that we can do together. try it sometime. try living for eight days without buying, selling, listening to an ad, and tell yourself, disco to give things to people. see what that is l

the board needs to approve a gift from the baker street foundation to accept and expend this gift to hire one of the gardener for assistance in maintenance of the polo fields. because of budget cuts, they are only maintained on a part-time basis. staff determined adding gardening staff was a high priority to preserve the quality of the turf at the 16-acre sports and events complex. it is particularly critical with the upcoming large-scale events at golden gate park. without attention, gophers and heavy traffic will undermine the quality of the turf. the rec and park commission voted to accept this gift. i am recommending this resolution go out with the committee report in order to help the department and with the huge crowds for the concert coming up in august. we are approaching this move forward to tomorrow. lisa branson from the rec and park department is here to answer any questions you might have. if there are no questions, we will go to public comments. seeing none no questions, is there anyone from the public who would like to speak. great. thank you. colleagues, can we move t

. >>> what is the craziest thing your child has ever asked for as a gift? maybe a puppy or a pony?how about a zebra? listen to this, that's what a 10-year-old girl in california got for her birthday. there he is. he comes complete with the black and white stripes and she was speechless for about five minutes when she saw her dad brought her a zebra. he lived with a donkey that helps keep him calm and dad think this is out of the box birthday gift is actually a pretty good life lesson. >> it teaches her some responsibility too. i want her to actually have to come out and do something. give him water and feed him every day. >> well, brittany doesn't want to stop there. she also asked her dad for a giraffe and a panda. we'll have to see what happens for her next birthday. >> the zebra is in the stall pen with the donkey. you know what it would be if may made it? -- they made it? a zonkey. >> let's hope it never happens. >>> turning 5 and one little boy doesn't want a gift he usually gets. >> the selfless gift he is asking his parents for and what he plans to do with them when he gets
