commissioner moran: this is how i changed my question. if we knew what it was going to be, if this was the same situation, then we would have a fixed objective, and it seems reasonable but only minimally so, and an optimizing it would make a great deal of sense. i am less comfortable with that. rather than me tell and you what the answer is, what would you suggest to the commission is a way of dealing with up risk that seems likely, and i do not expect an answer of the top of your head. >> we may see it -- seek an exception. this is such a difficult one. this would evaluate what it would do. there are those quick peaks. the model shows a storm hitting the entire city evenly. there is a problem down in the yosemite area. this will be able to address the challenges this will share the burden by pushing the water out. this approach we are talking about today it's a storm water management. that is a lot different. having a real time information there will be other capital programs in the future. this is where we want it to be, currently. comm

commissioner moran: i am not comfortable with this. this all makes sense to me over time. i do have some concern about a level, given that we believe the severity of storms is going to increase overtime. tell me if i am wrong. the cost curve does not apply to every element of a program. what i mean by that is in the case you're putting a pipe in the ground, in an incremental cost on that may not be huge. you are trying to upgrade and optimize the size, i am wondering if that is the sensible thing to do. if we have opportunities to build more capacity, and the incremental cost is not there, then why would we not do that? especially if it is a hedge, having to tear up the streets and to the wholesome and over again. -- and to the polls and over again. >> we will be limited -- and do the whole thing over again. >> we will be limited. we will have to upsize the plant. we will probably be replacing things. and that is why you see this escalation it would mean that we are collecting and spending a lot more water to the treatment plants beyond their capacity. we are trying to man

6th, 2010. >> good evening, i'm terry moran. and we're going to begin tonight with a rag tag band of amateur adventurers that love nothing better than a vacation mired by rain, giant hailstones, especially a tornado. while everyone runs away from the storm, they run to it. thrill seekers looking for that next rush, and an up close look at the destructive beauty of mother nature. eric horng reports. ah, vacation. we all have our favorite memories. like that relaxing week at the beach. that fun-filled ski trip to the mountains. and, of course, that time we chased a big scary tornado through the country side. >> let's go! quickly! we got to move. >> let's go. rotation up here. tornado! >> reporter: that's right. it may not sound like the most relaxes getaway. >> my wife made me do a will before i came out here last time. >> reporter: but for some, storm chasing in the heartland is better than any luxury cruise or european holiday. >> there's not place i'd rather be. >> i'm hooked. i got hooked the first time i did this. >> look at

as my co-anchor terry moran now reports. >> reporter: the statistics tell there are about 50 million gun owners in america, close to half of all american households possess guns. more than 200 million guns all told. and we buy about 4.5 million more guns every year. whether you like it or not, for better or worse, it's a fact. america is an armed nation. and to gun owners, the vast majority of whom are law abiding citizens, that's the way it was meant to be. >> we're just out here, like i said, exercising our rights. just here to have a good time. >> reporter: now, more than ever, many gun owners are proudly, aggressively asserting their rights, reaffirmed by a conservative supreme court, to keep and bear arms. proudly. openly, in public. in portland, maine, a few dozen gun enthusiasts have gathered for a barbecue to promote the right to openly carry weapons in the state. and convince their non-gun owning fellow mainers it's okay. >> they're not used to it and it's lack of knowledge. the more that they know, the more comfortable they'll be with it and that's really why we're here. we

commissioner moran: some comments. first of all, this is the first quarter with a new format, and i found it greatly improved. wanted to pass that on to you. i am a total ban [inaudible] they make life a whole lot easier. i think the underlying report, especially with the graphics, is clear enough that the project level detail really is not necessary. that is one commissioner's opinion. but i thought the rest of it was so clear and easy to get through that it did not really need the treatment of the cover memo. the kind of thing that i think would benefit in the cover memo is very much the discussion you just went through in terms of from your level what the issues are that you are wrestling with at the moment, and i think if there was a place for that in writing, that the cover memo might help you with that. subsequently, one thing that really, i guess, presented itself more clearly than it has before, just the way in which some of the project schedules are bunching toward the end. both of the reports really portrays
