. >> good afternoon commissioner president katz and commissioners commissioner ho and commissioner brandon i'll just start off here brad and i will be giving you an update on our outreach efforts as it relates to the waterfront land use review and the update on the waterfront plan is that - working? in august we did release a large report - >> down at the bottom excuse me. there's a projector keep going. >> there you go. >> thank you hey, hey. >> my one skill okay. well - in my case i wanted to do somewhat an update rather than an update in august we give i a comprehensive review for the waterfront not happening or happening on the waterfront and we set a comment period for the end of september that was substantially extended is to the end of november where we found that people need more time to absorb the information and understand the report and for since that timeline has just passed we wanted to transmit the comments from the public so for and give you sort of a summary of our outreach efforts and to also provide some clarification i think that there was some confusion about what the p

daniel katz golden is a development strategist.watching dan simon's story and grimacing through it. >> they're dealing with a lot of issues and i think it's what you see from a company going through growing pains. >> some people say the company grew so fast. it has a very young ceo, he's made very serious mistakes and missteps and hasn't apologized for them, frankly. so maybe the first step would be to maybe replace ceo? >> i don't think we necessarily need to start talking about executive leadership changes quite yet uber needs to turn an amazing product. and it is amazing. we took uber today and people love the product but how does a great product turn into a world class company and brand? that's what they're struggling with. >> what does david plouffe need to do first? >> i think the first thing they need to do is start building an experience that's more than just a product and the app. i think a lot of these problems are stemming from the fact that that there's not much experience around the company, around the organization. yo

question that commissioner brandon asked as well, maybe the 3 of you and maybe commissioner president katz can help the primary thing that changed be since 2008 the market is come back ems we hit a pretty deep trophy in terms of the market the market in the bay area slipping up trembling but it slung from san francisco so i think there is some definite growth we have been sustained by certain cargos and our bulk cargos have been higher than a decade but i think what is changing we've seen it really well in the crews terminal business is for sort of a quaint phase demonstrating we're open for business i mean having the partnership between the board and the metro and the iowu on the road has proved to be invaluable we need to continue it the commissioner has been wonderful in working with us and we would like to see our local 10 partners more frequently as well and that will be incredibly important once the parties come to an agreement with the mou to raise the attention back to the port we are seeing some great opportunities and want to be ready and be pro-active and the presentation today

so joining me now is melinda katz. she's the president of the new york city borough of queens and an ally of mayor bill de blasio. thank you for joining us, borough president. we appreciate it tonight. >> my pleasure. thanks for having me. >> you know that video is chilling. new york's finest turning their backs on the city's leader. many current and former officer feel that the mayor has symbolically turned his back on them. how do you respond to that? >> you know, new york city's a tough place. and it tests you. and there's no doubt that it tests your heart. but protests and open debate and a public discussion is exactly what america was founded upon. it's exactly what legislation like the civil rights movement came from and health care choices. it's the reason, by the way, that i as a woman can vote. because of debate and protest. that doesn't preclude supporting the police as well. make no mistake about it. these two officers, these young men who were sworn to protect the city of new york and were doing their job,

of the nature and we want to supporting support that related to that i guess commissioner president katz to our point of sea level rise and transportation there is a very healthy city family dialog that is going on now i think that the city advances are starting to get it's arms around the scope of the sea level rise with the capital committee and this puc and the mta this is actually something that is real and happening we intent on cpa on that similarly with the city's transportation issues many of the transportation issues are not of the port per say but thought larger city needs we're trying to fourth our goal in that as well between that our relationship with the b cdc and the state land we feel we've got the right players at the table to form a discussion. >> thank you. we call that a leading question or comment i think i'll start beating that drum. >> i know we've touched on the process but i wonder if you could articulate a little bit more where you think we should be focusing on developing the process going forward and not only how we as the commission can help what more we can

we will take you to a few choice one, aaron katz, m.d. he sent in 32 degrees. we have a couple clouds out there in allentown. then we will go smack dab in the center of the map to 33. riverside, new jersey ron russell sent that in. light wind for him currently but he says that feeling more like 27 degrees. dew point is low back down in the lower 20's. we are seeing that humidity drop off once again. thirty-three is the temperature sent in from tim mitchell down the shore where at the moment we have north west breeze at 9 miles per hour. that does make it feel colder then what the thermometer reads despite clear skies, and unshine that we will find because of that, that wind, it is going to get you. the lets go next to storm scan, i want to show you our latest system, first one that brought through that frontal boundary through our area that is pulling away. we are expect to go see skies start to clear out here. can we go to storm scan? we're working on it? trying to get there. as we expect to look forward in the forecast, can we get to storm scan? can we. we ar

good afternoon, president katz and commissioners. my name is bill done bar, i'm general manager of bae systems san francisco ship repair. and just want to take a few minutes today to tell you a little bit about our business there, what we're doing and what we hope to see as well in this next -- this lease. so, who we are, i don't know if you're familiar. bae systems ship repair is the largest nonnuclear ship repair contractor in the united states. we have 7 locations in the gulf, east, west coast and hawaii as well as the joint venture in spain to support the navy's pre-position ships there. so, we're experienced in the ship repair area. as ricky said, the lease covers the pier 68 and 70 areas and includes the water, the land, the drydocks and the cranes. we've been operating there and our predecessor is southwest marine for 27 years, and i look forward to continuing that. so, who our market is, our biggest customer is u.s. government or operators of u.s. government vessels actually. military sea life command, the coast guard, mira,

lewis katz is the chief medical officer.posu exposure. >> why was it a risk then but not now? >> because our donor screening approach and our ability control units with abnormal test results is orders of magnitude better than it was then. now the safety from hiv and hepatitis is really many orders magnitude better and those infections are all treatable. >> reporter: according to a september 2014 study a 12-month deferral could add 317,000 pints a year to the u.s. blood supply. if the ban was completely eliminated an additional 615,000 pints of blood a year could help 1.8 million people. that would increase the blood supply by 2% to 4%. but dr. katz says any increase is welcome and ultimately fair to all donors. >> from the standpoint of the risk assessment, i think it's scientifically and medically right and that's the way we should make policy. >> the panel is expected to vote later today. and people have been following the issue closely say that they will likely adopt some sort of change. but, gayle, any changes could take

so by a katz moment, i presume you mean one where the court concludes a prior doctrine.re not going to be able to rely on trespass doctrine alone that draws arbitrary distinctions. we need to move into some more free-form balancing. i don't know what that next moment would look like. i'm sure david can tell me what he thinks it can look like. but i do think that it is really a difficult thing for the court to expect this little corner of the constitution to keep up with these truly, you know, life-changing, technological developments that are altering the way people interact in very fundamental ways. maybe they can protect corners of it. maybe they can protect the home. but to expected that they're going to be able to come up with all purpose dock trintrines tha strike the balance right between security and liberty, very tall agenda. >> yeah, i think that the question of license plate readers is a really great example to focus on. it's a fairly new technology. it's gone into widespread use and, yet, most people are not particularly aware of this. in part, the nature of s

david katz. >> absolutely. >> russia top of mind for investors in europe. also an election in greece. here is simon hobbs. >> there are two stand outs there. you can see that greece -- you can almost see that greece is up just over 3% here. norway is up over 3% as well. the clock is ticking clearly towards the vote in the greek parliament that will come through. they start at the top of the hour and i'll come back to that in a moment. norway higher. a lot of the trade that have done -- we're reversing a lot of trades we've had on track. oil and gas in norway they have done particularly well today. downside, you see profit taking on the airlines which is fascinating. particularly a as the likes of air france klm fly directly to cuba. net net it's worth pointing out all the stuff kayla talked about. oil, russia, greece, has really blocked the santa claus rally so far this month. this is a chart from december. europe's underperformed the u.s. 5%. lmh, they secretly built a stake in hermes. they have given away the stake today providing christian dior does the

able to see that chair also because that was on display at sweden church on 16th street when mark katzid his book on gardner. and he had -- i don't know if he owned the chair but somehow or another that church had the chair. that was another thing i really saw. one question i do have is have you ever seen a photograph of the outside of the washington studio? i have never been able to find one. >> i think there are photographs where you can see it from a distance. >> but you don't see -- >> not one that's sort of dead on, i guess. >> well, anyway -- >> that's very interesting. >> that's my story and i'm sticking with it. >> right. so much for the architectural report from 1981. >> brady's life ended kind of tragic. would you care to comment on his demise? >> yeah. brady was one of these people whose life didn't have a third act because it had a wonderful first act as a portrait photographer on broadway and then the civil war part. his finances went, you know, increasingly south after the war. he worked very hard to sell this collection to the war department and was eventually able to ge

david katz sitting to my right. he's a former dea, firearms and homeland security expert.t's just so important. i wanted to make sure we were talking also to law enforcement about all of this. we heard from the president. he was in multiple meetings yesterday. he laid out ideas, on how to improve law enforcement, not just in ferguson, across the country. you said that president obama has zero knowledge on how to make law enforcement better. >> well, presumably, he's never going for a ride along. i don't know if he's watched the average, an episode in the evening of cops ever, but his focus seems to be the police need to be more sensitive. they need to be more aware. they need to be more culturally diverse. there's not a single word about the community and the community's part in developing that sort of partnership between law enforcement and the community. why are the police in those neighborhoods? because it's a very high crime rate. they are there to protect and serve. this is a case, and i don't understand why president obama and the attorney general are comparing micha

. >> are you getting any sort of details so far on katz's and hurd's plan for the company? >> i think the key is to hear what this comments are with regard to the cloud effort. they really were frankly late in terms of going all in. and it wasn't until oracle world last fall that they said hey, we finally think this cloud stuff is a big deal. let's go hard at it. that's what people will be listening for. >> richard, we're going to leave it there. thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. so let's talk. you mentioned late to the game. just in 2011 larry ellison made the comment cloud is a marketing gimmick. he wasn't a believe in 2008. >> figured it out. oracle seems to be doing it right. it was good quarter, 12 1/2 times forward earnings. i don't think it's that expensive. it shows you how lousy things are at ibm. not a great comp. but really illustrates the haves and the have notes in these big cap tech names. i still think ibm goes lower and it feels like oracle wants to continue to go higher from these levels. >> if they start to pick up more, the subscription revenue and h

melinda katz is with me now.me to you, ma'am, can you categorize or put into perspective how bad this rift is between the mayor and the police? >> there's no doubt that there is a rift happening right now. at the same time though there are vigils being held all over the city. i myself have gone to several vigils. it's amazing the show of support going on out there. but the rift is going to have to be closed. and with time and with the healing process and with union negotiation and just with a show of support by the entire city not just the mayor, but with the entire city that has come together to start this healing process, new york city's an amazing place. we are strong and we are tough. but we also come together as one when it's necessary. i went to the funeral of officer ramos. i'm telling you, it was an amazing, amazing balance between respecting the police officers and remembering him as the man he was. >> yeah. a lot of your sentiments may be echoed here in what we're going to talk about as the city's polic
