look all the way up here. look how this has decelerated. we're looking at 2.9%. if this continues we will have almost 0. the average is 61%. let me just show you what is going on today. we have got a lousy economic data out of europe. we have got all the companies that are risk on. the markets are holding up. put up the transports and i'll show you something. lower highs we're getting here. we better move a little bit forward. the technicians are going to start moving like crazy. you're going to hear a lot more. >> very difficult to get creative with the revenues. absolutely. thank you very much for that. >> stock of the day is apple. what else? another stock is down about 24% this year. your next guest says that may not be the point because he has got tough words for ceo tim cook. but before we get to that, john has taken his economic skapel. john? >> q 3 guidance, interestingly, one of the more disappointing parts is the profit margin. the reason tim cook gave was the mix of products. which has lower margins. and given the strong sales, the iphone 4, two. that

so it's allowing us to look neighborhood by neighborhood to look at the community enforcement officers woork they are doing there so next year when we go to do a hire, our bylaw officers are working with revitalization, i'll be sharing this information with them to say these are the key neighborhoods you need to be in touch with as well as the different constables and beat officers to say, look, this is a problem and this is what's trending in your neighborhood. so it's been very beneficial to us in terms of how we deploy our resources. five neighborhoods accounted for 46 percent of the graffiti vandalism observed in 2012. even though i showed you in that last slide that downtown is decreasing, it still is one of our most significant neighborhoods as far as graffiti. queen mary park. those 5 neighborhoods within the exception of one, have remained fairly consistent from the beginning of the program. although the percentage of how much graffiti they have has gone down. what we're finding, too, is that while the reduction in the graffiti over all was very minimal this year, we saw huge s

how's it look? >> it's not looking good at all in th dublin area. this is the scene of the accident. westbound 580 right before the 680 interchange. a couple of big rigs crashed into each other. there's one of them there blocking two lanes of traffic. two lanes are getting by. but as chopper zooms out it is just a sea of brake lights. as far as the eye can see. i haven't seen it. 70 minutes plus in the westbound lanes. so you may want to consider using alternates. take isabel. use that to cut over to vallecitos as one possible option. just avoid westbound 580 in the meantime until they clear that accident. it was first reported about an hour ago. let's go out to the bay bridge. they turned on the metering lights and so this is what we're left with now. we have delays in the fastrak and cash lanes. looks like it's backing up to the 880 overcrossing. i would say probably 15 minutes to get on the bridge. that's a check of your "timesaver traffic"." >> we are looking at clear skies to start out this morning. light winds a puff or two of low clouds out t

. >>> let's go to sal for a look at traffic. how does it look? >> it looks pretty good. traffic is moving along nicely. starting off on 80 westbound as you head out to the mccarthur maze. no major problems as you continue there. no major problems if you're driving to the bay bridge toll plaza into san francisco. it's a nice looking drive all the way into the city. if you're in san jose northbound 280 traffic moving well getting up to highway 17. let's go to steve. >> sal, thank you. a very good morning. i'm here. >>> system to the north and a big, big system coming out of the rockies. that is giving us a wide variety of weather. it will be a sunny and warm day. today we will get 80s as well. a really difficult call on some of the forecasted highs. i saw projections to 88 degrees. it will be close. look at our system. that is mixed precipitation on the backside. that is rain, that is severe weather from minnesota to the great lakes all the way to the deep south a big system. look at the temps 64 in oakland. yet 40s toward napa. it's a huge spread on the temps. as much as

because i'm looking for stories. i'm looking for these same kinds of stories that i find in the desert. i came to hear straight from grace cathedral today where i walked into the cathedral and i took off my shoes and walked on the maze that's right in the front, in the center. and i don't know if you've ever been to this place. you have to stop in and walk this maze because it is very much like what it's like to be out in the desert. where you start walking along and you see where you are going eventually. you see the center spot and you know where you are going to be, except you are going away from it and then toward it and then away from it and all the way around it and then away from it again and back toward it. that's what it's like walking out in the desert in the deep cliffs, in the dunes where you want to go there but there's not a route from here to there. if you had a gps it wouldn't really work because it would point a straight line from here to there because there's a cliff face and to get down you have to

because where you should not look is the first place that i find everyone looking, and that's right atir 401(k) plan. that's easily done because that 401(k) was not available prior to termination of employment. but once you have termination of employment or separation of service, as they call it, your employer now gives you the right to take that 401(k). so it becomes very tempting. the problem with that is that every dollar withdrawn from your four sea401(k) plan is 100% tax. not only are you paying tax today, but in addition to that, if you're under the age of 59 1/2, you also pay a 10% penalty in addition to the tax. third and last -- >> wait a minute. you pay whatever percentage of tax, which could be what? is it based on your prior salary? >> it's based -- partially so, because your salary has to do with your highs highest marginax bracket so the tax due on that withdrawal from that 401(k) plan will be at your highest margin. >> so you could plac end up payg close to 40% plus the 10%. >> which brings you up to 50%. so it's full tax at your highest marginal rate, and if you're unde

and didn't tdon't worry that we are slipping down into contraction that is the best looking contract actual growth that you will see it's slower government spentings and is a slower pace of inventory building and when you look at real drivers of economic growth we are doing a lot better than whereas quarter would indicate and if you look at the forecast here we are looking for two% gdp growth in the next years and so how do we get there and what are the various drivers of that and the first case is that residential construct construction is going to help and that is what got us into this mess so it may seem counterintuitive this is the most macro measure i can use to show the residential activity across the country and obviously this fell off the cliff during the recession and has not meaning fully retraced ground during that time period what might be useful is to think about if this is the demand for new homes what is the real -- i'm sorry the supply of new homes what is the demand for it how many new homes do we really need and nor to get a sense for that i look at this data series

it looks good as you drive through and as a matter of fact it does look good and 280 traffic looks good as you drive on the sunole grade if you are driving from livermore that connector is off to a good start. >>> a disturbing crime on a bay area campus, what we found out about an attack inside a student's dorm room. >>> still breezy and temperatures will warm up and i will have your forecasted highs in two minutes.

look at it. look to the smile rising up to the left diagonally from that very spot where that bag was sitting. it's one of many possible leads. certainly an intriguing one the investigators are pursuing. the boy that was lost yesterday, 8-year-old martin richard, there he is. has become the face of the tragedy. of course, he died as i said yesterday. his sister and mother, by the way, are also seriously wounded right now and are right now in a hospital. today we learned the identify of another fatality, 29-year-old krystle campbell of medford, mass. she was with her best friend watching the friend's boyfriend cross the finish line at the moment she was killed in the blast. her mother broke down speaking to reporters today. >> we are heartbroken at the death of our daughter, krystle marie. she was a wonderful person. she had a heart of fwoeld. she was always smiling. i couldn't ask for a better daughter. i can't believe this has happened. she was such a hard worker in everything she did. this does

>> well, we're looking at -- try to look at five years.the world is going to look like. i'm under the assumption, and i may be wrong at the end that emerging markets will eventually drive consumption at least the basic commodities and consumer goods and so forth. you will see low growth in european, japanese and the u.s. lower growth than you have seen the left 10 or 20 years. now, in the last two years, if you look at these commodity companies and so forth, that argument looks wrong. but that's -- that could be a very temporary period that we're looking at when you try to look at the broader scheme of things. so i would like to kind of look five years and see where are things going to be. if i buy evaluations or low on a basis and i think that the areas are managed well. we will get our money out over time. we have all been in business long enough to see things not work for a period of time. it looks like we have our intellectual game in play. >> i know one of the calls you like is hewlett-packard. >> right. >> that's interesting given al

[ technical difficulties, stand by ] >> we saw several fbi agents in tactical gear. >> reporter: in another spot at 8th street around 8:00, at the acorn public housing complex, authorities swooped in and dozens were involved in this operation as you can see and many people were forced from their homes. one person said fbi drew guns on him and asked him to get out. >> i live in the building and i can't get back in. i guess they are looking for suspects, drugs and weapons. i saw some pic

i looked at them.nk you can see some of them on the screen right now specifically talking about blowing off some fireworks. well, it was last sunday that five fbi ajents came to a neighborhood in chelsea, tracked down this high school friend of dzhokhar, according to his father, and questioned him all about these tweets. we talked to the father. he said the fbi agents were very thorough, trying to find out everything they could about these specific tweets. we know his college friends have been questioned, high school friends have been questioned. anybody who had any contact with him. >> and of all of this, these two other people, i believe they were originally from kazakhstan, they are still in custody. >> russian-speaking, foreign students who were at umass -- dartmouth. >> yes, excuse me. it's been a long week. >>> they were arrested and taken into custody last friday. remember, this before yohan tsarnaev was captured. the fbi really believed dzhokhar was really in that apartment. the reason is is be
