thank you very much. and i held a hearing on the traffic unit with the san francisco unified -- san francisco police departments because my husband was part of the traffic unit for many years. and what we discovered at that time was on any given day in san francisco, there were eight of them. so clearly, not able to enforce. not this type of magnitude. the chief has just put an academy class with 15 more. still, all throughout san francisco, to have on average eight, was actually -- you can see how the enforcement is almost impossible. especially when we really want them along our high injury corridors in particular. thank you. this opens us up to public comments. any questions? >> thank you for holding this hearing. i know that from working with sfmta on many issues that have to do with casino buses and so forth, our hands are often tied, or yours, really, because many of these companies or entities are regulated by the cpuc. it goes through -- there's a lot of heartache involved when you create these tr

thanks so much for the time.rting our hour off. >>> following a chaotic day of negotiation, government shutdown seeming ever more likely as congress and the white house refuse to budge on funding a border wall. ylan mui is in washington. >> reporter: republican senators went to the white house to meet with trump of course they're going to talk about the border wall and government funding, in addition to senate majority leader mcconnell, chuck grassley, lisa murkowski, susan collins, mike lee. that's a diverse mix of senators, moderates and conservatives. gives you an idea of how wide ranging that discussion is likely to be now, president trump has been putting pressure on mcconnell to invoke the nuclear option. this would allow them to pass legislation with only 50 votes and that means they would not need democratic help in order to get the spending bill done but this is not a road mcconnell wants to go down, and there's also not support within the republican caucus to make this move already this morning we have

joe: not much of a bounce at all. pretty remarkable given that we had the bounce yesterday and the jobs report that could have provided relief, but it did not. caroline: i'm impressed that oil close lower. oil closed higher but the energy stocks close lower, why did we come off on the 45% ties. why do energy stocks close in the red? joe: if you're worried about growth, maybe opec can't even get to that's left. scarlet: when you look at the weekly stats, we're looking at declines of greater than 3.3 -- 3.75%. week since worst march i believe. if you look at the year today performance, this has been going nasdaq is the only want to hold onto gains. you seen the dow and the s&p give up their advances for the year, turn into the red, and turned back and then now we are red again. caroline: let's get you into the action with the markets reporters. lisa: i think this week, the big takeaway from the week is that investors are seeing a slower pace of rate hikes going forward. you see this and to the two-year yields most produ

of the job especially as an architect and designer i think how much is in your hands and how much do you delegate to other people. i dedicate an enormous amount. you know i think architecture is is not to a singular activity certainly not now if it ever was i mean the image of the you know the creative artists staying up at night with a bottle of whiskey you know. and drawing you know. i don't think that exists anymore i think the world you know the the nature of our projects the nature of how we work is highly collaborative. so you know. designing buildings is one thing designing a structure designing an office is new the more important you know how do you create an environment a creative environment with within which people can flourish and take responsibilities and at the same time you know how to how do you hold the bits together you know i mean it's. it's important that we have a an approach an attitude so that's my responsibility is to sort of you know from my farming background i suppose you know keeping all the animals in the field stopping them. on that card we want to take

so much is made of some of the more tragic events of the war. so much attention is given to things. it's an unfortunate thing. it's a necessary part of history. we need to remember it and we need to focus and study on it. at the same time, so many of the veterans are kind of painted with that same brush. we feel like we only focus on the negatives and not the positive. our project has been in much better balance. you can't look at war without looking at the negative aspects. there are some positive things. there are men and women who are serving their nation with respect and honor and dignity. they're doing the best they can in the circumstances. i think most veterans who visit us and get to know us realize that with we do approach their service in that way. it's a place of honor and respect with an understanding that thing happened. but the people who are involved and large part from our experience, they were not doing bad. as a result of all that, we've established such an incredible set of materials that it's time for us now, not just to provide online access. we've been housing

but it's not expected to move that much higher.o the interest in capturing spread may not be sustainable to early 2019. i think what we're seeing is convergence in the long term defining high yield differently that it won't be just asset classes anymore. jonathan: i'm trying to take the other side. i'm thinking about this from the following perspective. there will be people who say the flows showing up and the outflows showing up in the last couple of weeks are basically the tourists. the people who don't really know the asset class. the institutional money is staying calm and this will play out for a couple of weeks, maybe a couple of months then it will settle down. is there anything in that? >> i think you could make an argument that's the case. the problem is, it's about the flow as it always is in these instances. who's going to step in to support the market when it starts looking cheap? i think if you continue to see the retail or tourist flows out of what is in the liquid asset class, there's large risk. it will be a little

how much of it is supplied? how much -- supply? how much of it is u.s. supply? have a clear idea? >> it's hard to know exactly which factors are driving in the downturn we have seen this quarter i think both of those factors have played a role. macrowas concern for investors that economic growth is slowing fast and the oil price is a way to play that. we saw a lot of hedge fund money leave the market for sure, but as you say, u.s. production has consistently supplies on the upside throughout 2018. we are looking at january-december growth approaching 2 million barrels per day, which is extraordinary and no one saw coming, especially in the second half of the year. people thought production would be very constrained by lack of a pipeline from texas. they continued supplies on the upside. that will be the key in 2019, the resilience of u.s. shale, whether it continues to grow. francine: i am looking at some of the data send u.s. production will surge over all million barrels per day in 2019. whatever happened to -- 12 million barrels per day in 2019. what happened
