cab companies meet the types of mandates we've adopted and you will see companies like yellow and luxor rapidly want to change and modify the way it works i think the cab companies right now now ought to be congratulated. we're maintaining the volume of service that we provide. unfortunately, we have to pay 250 $250,000 per cab and as mr. margolis said the rent a ride cars as i prefer to call them, at any given time and the city and county of san francisco we just don't know and when you put out 6, 7 thousand cars at a time what you find is you have 100 vehicles being operated by rent a ride companies competing against one cab company or one cab car so i think you need to keep in mind the volume that we're facing riet right now and in fact what we do is -- we are price fixed when these companies come in and do price cutting it's even more damaging than price surgerying price surging. we have a certain priced for fixed and it's not clear to me whether or not people prefer these but we continue to compound the myths that are out there about the responsiveness of taxi cab companies and we

1550 bc, power had shifted to a n kingdom 500 miles south in the ancient city of thebes, now called luxor. to the west, in the hills beyond the nile's west bank, the royal tombs of the valley of the kings were cut into limestone cliffs. their interiors are richly decorated with hieroglyphs and paintings-- signs and symbols that detail the necessary steps to attain immortality. egypt's power and the grandeur that came with it were well-established by 2500 bc when the great pyramids at giza were built. the sphinx was a philosophy of government set in stone. it depicted the king as fearless, cunning and brave as the lion. and as crucial to egypt as the nile itself. the king was not just a political leader but a religious leader too. in the minds of the ancient egyptians, the pharaoh's power and authority as a king stretched far beyond the boundaries of his country-- and into the cosmos itself. after death, he would escape the earthly bounds of his tomb, board a solar boat and sail into immortality. this vision became material in objects and image found in the tombs and temples as a way of pr
