you have thin lines. you have very thick lines. for example, the figures here have very agitated and excited lines. these are very straight lines. but they create the illusion and suggest volume. they suggest shape and form. line can also be implied, and that takes practice. it takes a considerable amount of work in order to be able to discern the implied lines because they're not actually drawn on the painting. they're not included there, and they're not easily discernible. the implied line, for example here, suggests the arrangement of the buildings in such a way that the artist is indicating depth. so we are addressing implied lines suggest perspective, the system of linear perspective and the way in which all the parallel lines appear to be converging towards a centric point in this work. when we look and continue with implied line, let's look at vermeer's painting of a girl seated behind a desk. there are no actual, clearly defined lines. you can identify shape. you can identify form through the distribution of light and use o

the red line right there it's kind of overlays the erroneously line shows you how bad and the red line is the current year up to february. we're trending towards 1997 of the levels. we also know that the snow pack is a big portion of the hetch hetchy. emigrate black line is what they view from the average show pack into the watershed and the green line is again, the - is last year 2013 and the imply line shows you 23407 our last low water year and the red line is current. so let me give you one good slide here. with citywide the municipal water use has decreased so all the city departments are nearly on here. the water use has declined fwi percent since fiscal year 07 and 08 we're part of that but given the current drought there is more that needs to be done what are redoing that takes us into the current data. a couple of things irrigation was our main water use we're the largest city water user that's normal. we're looking to reduce our irrigation operation by 10 periods of time we'll ideal back our timer control setting as he the gardenerers will be mindful of pulling back their app

that red line is a problem. over the next month if we see it staying down there we may well want to take it to another level >> can we expect that commissioner torres will get the daily weekly or daily basis. >> that gives the best picture looking daily is a little bit too much. >> so steve maybe you want to talk about the difference between mandatory and was it triggers. >> in the case of volunteer we're asking people to reduce their demand but mandatory it kicks in a part of the agreement where we establish the water budget with each of our customers and track those and there's a provision important banking if they save some now and use it later. it's not that we don't want to do b that unless he have to. >> where don't southern california get their water and a southern california gets their water in incision from local supplies and ground water and recycled water and the colorado river and those 3 combines where the metro district have heavily investment in the resources. >> meaning ground water. >> rekindly

long lines, some have some real problems with long lines. but the best data indicates that in the united states, five million americans waited more than an hour to vote and another five million between a half an hour to an hour and 10 million americans is significant number of people and other jurisdictions who haven't had that experience could be significantly at risk if there are not if they are not ajustments to the electoral process to address problems, like for example, weak voter rolls or inadequate voting machinery and then you would have lines where you didn't have them before. >> is this a truly national problem or is this something that is very localized? >> i think in our experience, it was pretty localized. any time you have 10 million people voting for long periods of time, that would suggest you need a solution to that because it shouldn't happen. we had 130 million voters roughly in the last election and that is a significant number, but it is localized. and what we saw is there is not one reason that there are long lines. in

the three lines that exist today. in 1964 the cable car's future as part of california's transit system was sealed when it was proclaimed a national historic landmark. in february, 1980, muni metro were officially inaugurated. in that same year, muni received its first fleet of buses equipped with wheelchair lifts. in 1982 when the cable car had a shut-down, they added an alternative attraction to the cars. the festival was a huge hit and would continue for the next four summers in a permanent f-line that would extend all the way to fisherman's wharf, by 2000 the f-line was in place. and in 2007 muni extended the third line to the southeast corner and returning to third street. for the first time in 60 years. in the course of last 100 years, muni's diverse workforce forged by men and women of innovation have reflected the many cultures that flock to the city. muni's ground-breaking antidiscrimination has guaranteed equal opportunity for all. the city's policy mandates the course for the future, as they work diligently

on a republican line. threeolitico, "more than million signed up through obamacare exchanges, officials say." host: a little bit from that article in politico. mill, virginia. where is that? we are approximately eight miles from roanoke, virginia. host: beautiful country down there. caller: yes, it is. i have a question about federal prison reform. i wonder if congress will be doing anything this year in this congress to take forward the prison reform good times act increased intrigue -- from 50es people commit days per year to 128 days per year. this would be so important for our nation because, number one, produce a healthy prison system with the cost of incarcerating these people, and it is only for nonviolent white-collar crime. host: our question this morning is what do you want from washington. you have come up with a specific piece of legislation you would ed?e to see pass why is that philosophically important to you? my son iscause incarcerated in a low-level prison camp, and he is able to or dot h

just hanging by a thread, and here are some lines hanging down and another line are som here, and i don't know what hangi exactly these lines are, but i do know that i am not going to touch them. power is out all through this area, and there are about ly 130,000 people here in big

so there's redundancy to avoid a minus one situation where we're one line down like caesar's chavez that will mean that a construction accident or it would cause a construction accident. >> great there was a decision about a 7 day outage so this is the line is it useful or you would have a disaster that is discussions in the graft we saw in a 7 day outage. >> yeah. like an earthquake that would cause a current line to be number one fundamental and we'll have a third line to continue downtown outage. >> when it comes to we're looking at the future of electricity generation in california and i would say in san francisco and that's part of california. we want to look at how we can do generations that could involve people having solar and going to the grid and having reserve metering. are we pitting in a line that will enable us to think about the future of generation that pg&e motive not agree with. are we build our capacity with this line that will enable other entities to put on their own private of production or other means to deal with a type of grid >> those transitions are open a

but did the ball get back to the line of scrimmage? >> joe: they don't throw the flag. terry mcaulay made the announcement we couldn't hear. luke wilson, in their estimation, close enough to it. so, now, it's third down. >> troy: didn't get to the line of scrimmage. but at least it was close enough to a receiver. and an excellent job by russell wilson, just getting the ball out and not taking the loss. >> joe: harvin started the play in the backfield. baldwin downfield. what a throw. what a catch. first and goal.

the democratic line and we just heard from independent line.his is troubling stuff or the obama administration. all these little anecdotes of people who want healthcare.gov to work and it has been a difficult experience for a lot of people. might expect this from the republican line, a lot of people calling up and saying this is not working, but that is troubling. we are starting to hear that. hopefully, you can iron out the issues. >> i want to ask you about a recent article you wrote. what does it mean and what problems will it solve? guest: one of the primary criticisms of the obama administration during the rollout has been the numbers they are releasing are inflated because they included people that have not pay their premiums. when you try to find out from wem what percentage it is, have been learning this from the insurance industry and not the obama administration, they say they do not have the ability right now to track who has and has not paid because they pay insurers directly. part of the backend of the website they are building out

they want to be the first in line for business. >> countries are now lining up.at necessarily mean that sanctions are unraveling? >> this is the debate going on in washington right now. you put your finger on it. you have the whole crowd that think sanctions should be tightened rather than loosened in the lead up to any possible final deal, and that includes at least 59 members of the u.s. senate. they were giving a real grilling to the top u.s. state department and treasury officials who were testifying yesterday about the status of the deal. they believed that loosening and ink at this point gives the givese to that iran -- the message that iran is open for business. department said yesterday that no it is not, but we have to give a little to get what we want from the freeze of the program at this point. >> what is the next step in getting a final deal and lifting the sanctions? talkbruary 18 is the next for exploring a conference of deal. that will happen in vienna. even president obama himself has only given a 50-50 chance of getting to a final deal, but clea

frome getting comments those on our support line and oppose line.auren is from illinois on our oppose line. good morning. i believe first of all ncaa rules say they are not supposed to take anything if they so much are is granted a t-shirt -- anything. if they grant -- if they are granted a t-shirt they lose amateur status. if they want to get paid and unionize, then i think it's no longer becomes a college sport or bhey are sort of in a a status come amateur or professional football. what makes football so special more than any other sport. half the people who come out of college playing football can't read or write. it is all about money for the college's. lee is from arkansas on our support line. caller: basically millions of dollars are made by the colleges. they get in trouble for getting a t-shirt or anything like that. for the sports that don't make that much money, they don't share anything. it is embarrassing for colleges to make millions of dollars off of these mostly poor young men and not compensate them. this has been due for a long tim

joe is waiting on our phone lines. he is in new mexico on our republican line. i think the first lady should be paid. host: why is that? all the things she does. house andat the white she should be paid for it. host: do you think she should have a job outside the white house during her time in washington? i think she should be paid for what she does for the president. paidnk she should be $300,000 a year or something like that. that is a fair salary for the first lady? caller: i think so. host: what if she has a job that pays more than that coming into the white house? should she set that aside? caller: i think so. yes. interest. conflict of she would be working for someone else and if the bill came by that influenced that employer, -- theld have to president might be influenced to give a break to that company. joe called in from new mexico. our conversation continues on twitter. scott is waiting in illinois on our line for democrats. caller: good morning. i think she should be able to work outside the house. host: why is that? caller: i do not know. i think the

operate and pay for the maintenance costs and depreciation and amortization is in the light green line and that's a very good indicator of what we should be spending on capital renewal and then operating revenues is the blue line that's even a little below in 2009, a little bo below in 2010, then skipping up in 202011, 12 and 13 and showing positive revenue. so on the real estate revenue, it's really the diversity of our portfolio that continues to help us perform so well. and this last 5 years includes a recessionary period and despite that we have seen continued growth in our real estate revenues and it's also the policy of this commission to require market rate adjustments in our lease terms that have really helped to grow this revenue stream. also as the city begins to recover we're seeing enhanced performance in our real estate revenues. we also experienced strong growth in maritime revenues and really the two business lines that have shown the most growth are ship repair and cruise and both come from strategic investments from this commission. cruise revenues, as you know, we're

then overlay the sewer lines.he hot spots line up with the sewer and storm drains, creating enough of a relationship to raise questions whether the underground network is spreading the contamination. further bolstering this theory, this report from an independent environmental study group that pointed to the storm lains and sure lines as potential source of the contamination. >> it is not beyond a reasonable doubt but it is the best explanation of the data. >> reporter: in a meeting just last week, the epa super fund site manager says her team is not sure why these hot spots have popped up outside the boundary area. >> we are looking at the city and looking at historical information. >> reporter: we asked about the idea that sewer and storm drains could be the conduit. >> are the sewer lines the conduit? >> we are investigating the potential for the sewer lines. but we are look at a lot of information and at this time we are unable to draw any conclusions. >> the garcias have a more basic question. >> i would like

if they were correct, it meant the secret service could not have been over the center line.ng photogrammetry, kayfetz was able to determine the width of the tire that made the skid mark and prove that it was, in fact, the right tire. >> as it happened, the right front tire on the wrecked labarge car was almost an inch narrower than the other three tires. it had been replaced probably by a spare tire at some point. and that particular tire mark matched only that narrower right front tire. >> proving the skid mark belonged to the secret service car was one of two critical issues facing dr. blythe. >> what was the sheriff reacting to when he applied his brakes? was he reacting to his perception that he was going too fast to make the corner, or was he reacting to some other danger that he saw? >> the highway patrol found sinclair was going too fast. but dr. blythe ran his own test using a patrol car identical to the one sinclair was driving. >> the range for the sheriff's vehicle i found was between 62 and 66 miles an hour. >> at that speed, sergeant sinclair had no reason to hi

obama often does, which is to talk about drawing lines. a line has been already drawn. in the constitution of the united states, and the ultimate test of the fourth the state will be whether these folks can be entered to action, whether they, their management and owners will permit the fcc and the obama government to do something they have never sought to do before, which is to simply trample the first amendment. we will see. we are giving away free copies of the authors of the melson much weeds command posts written on the air. a few of tonight's comments, nancy in illinois wrote me about president alums executive actions. what -- when is mr. obama going to realize he is president and not the king, and those who voted for and do not endorse is their infections. keep asking the tough questions. guaranteed. bill in washington e-mail me to say, i have noticed that your voice sounds a little deeper than normal. if you're fighting something, take a few days off. many during great help and sounding good so you can continue to be our voice againnt dollar is gone wrong with ou

democrat line.aller: i want to comment on the all country supporting civil unrest or other countries. when you look at what took place in our country with civil rights , stomping the vietnam war, it was all done through civil unrest and peaceful protest. some turned violent, but by and ofge, it was because aggressive authorities. since richard nixon we have seen social law declined to the point where protest is not allowed as it once was. the trade agreements -- and i am a journalist, and i followed all of this and wrote peoplevely on this -- were against these agreements, but they were not even allowed to march in places where they were seen. when they were, they were portrayed by the media as being left wing lunatics over hippies that were out of control and out of touch. we saw the same thing in the 99ers movement. they basically rated wall street. as a matter of fact, they started to get even more money. we hear this a lot, which is, how can the united states go and tell the yanukovych regime to

he took a hard line against protesters and his opponents. there was a stock market plunge on wall street. it was the worst trading day since last june. disappointing factory activity report was blamed. a jobs report is due out on friday.

more on the signs that show the blue lines going are not that line. >> it is a good system overall but it is -- it has those instances that you can always pull up the escalators and the signage or something like that and makes me wonder. >> what the metro rider is wondering is about how 13 new, yet incorrect signs, could make their way on inform this metro platform and be left out for days. >> new maps in metro center. take a look. metros that blue line splitting off at east falls church and going all the way down to arlington cemetery. that doesn't happen. when the blue line really does is split off at rosslyn and goes down to arlington cemetery and the blue line does not stop at courthouse and clarendon and virginia square, ballston or east falls church. the sign is wrong. we told metro about the problem. they came out and tore down the new sign but inn tearing down the new signs metro revealed that old signs that were also incorrect. you probably know that the blue line doesn't go to eisenhower avenue or huntington. now more confusion. some say it is a waste when metro is talking fa

you are on the line. caller: i wonder about the use of informant agencies, if you get employees to one of those agencies does this eliminate your liability on the aca. guest: excellent question. who counts as your employees -- w-d's yest, 10-99's now. they are full-time, seasonal workers but three categories that it not count our temporary employees, and independent contractors do not count as employees. you talk about using an employment agency -- they would not count as employees of the business that utilizes that, but they will count as employees of the employment agency, the staffing firm and the temporary firm and those folks may be in line for increase costs and benefits. that being said, we say that because it may increase the cost agencies oring employee agency labor in the future. someone has to pay for the increased benefits and penalties. w-2's anyone shifts the to 10-99's, that comes a lot of other legal responsibilities and you give up a lot of control. we don't caution anyone to do that but

that's a big source to us, a big kupb tripbtor to this line and a game changer to this position. i think we were very successful in prior years with home land security grants and ward appropriations, i think that will continue but maybe at a slower clip and one of the things that is difficult here as we do projections of contributed term, as we know new term but as we look out hopefully they will do much better. you see a huge drop off in the last year, a million plus, and our generate is more like 20 million but we just don't know what those opportunities will be and they really vary. so i don't do a straight line because they are so depen depblt on making alaitionships, applying for the grants, making the business case for the investment or the public's case. >> in terms of trying to maintain a state of good repair, also also a difficult one to project. have we left it any potentially large issues we might be facing from that stand point for expenditures. >> i think we have known since 2006 that we are underinvesting in state of good repair. if you look at this line, which is a

we'll see the first line of heavier rain move through at 2:00 a.m. some quick downpours that will stick around until 4:00 a.m. that's also going to stay in place throughout 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. as the low pressure moves off towards the south. with the y with the instability in the atmosphere, it is picking up and we could see an isolated thunderstorm fire off. as we head throughout saturday's forecast, it will be tough to get rid of this storm but we think by the afternoon hours we'll start to see things clear out for us. so the overall what to expect on this storm system, some of the highlights, rainfall totals, three-quarters of an inch to upwards of 2 inches. winds na could top 50 miles an hour, bring out some power ou s outages and down trees. that's going to be the first bull's-eye. the forecast for friday does have temperatures a little cooler, upper 50s and low 60s. chance of thunderstorms on each one of these grids, so again tomorrow keep your eyes to the sky. looks pretty juicy in the atmosphere, very close towards the bay area. also the same

again that small line starts at 25.8 million out to 1.8 in 1718 that is going to enhance our position. so it's other sources of revenue, it's the general obligation bonds, it's grants from other city agencies -- i'm sorry -- grants from other grantors and just contributed capital that continues to improve our position. here i'm showing you that contributed capital line again in the light green which are the partnerships that we project to continue to have success in forming that drives an improved financial position. we project debt service coverage levels to at least 1.3 mile 81 1.3 times but far above that, 4.7 times, well above the requirement for the next 5 years. so our coverage looks very good. so in terms of summarizing what the past tells us and what the future suggests, our operating revenues are diverse and stable. we have a very healthy cash position. our debt portfolio is structured conservatively in terms of structure and leverage. we are projecting operating expenses outpacing operating revenue which shows that we will, unless there is careful intervention, we will not b

which lines need to see relief the most? >> the orange line is the most crowded. the red line is right behind it. >> reporter: you'd like to see longer trains on the orange line? >> i'd like to see longer trains on all the lines. certainly the orange line is the most crowded as well as the red line. >> reporter: if you want to run longer trains you have to build in the necessary power to do that. that's really where this money is going helping upgrade the power system so longer trains can run. susan says she knows all too well how hard it can be to get on a train during rush hour and worries about expanding the system. >> it scares me in the morning. you can't really get on the trn in boston alz it is and the silver line and all these other lines coming in, i'm a little concerned about that, how are we going to ac kaecoccommod these people. >> reporter: saying metro needs to focus on what they have now. >> seems like there's always some kind of work or breakdown. >> reporter: there is a plan that looks into the next decade to help ease the crush of riders along th
