and this is the name of "18 rabbit." keach: "18 rabbit" -- an odd name. but he was one of copan's greatest kings. he reigned from a.d. 695 to 738. on monuments, he's portrayed as a great warrior and shown to communicate with powerful ancestors. a wealth of inscriptions at copan tell of bloody rituals, sacred anniversaries, and political alliances with rulers of other maya kingdoms. for the first time in centuries, the ancient maya were speaking for themselves. at palenque, in southern mexico, their voices revealed a grand dynasty that ruled for 10 generations.

is there any naming issues at the actual botanical gardens? >> in terms of? >> using that name? because that name is throughout the lease. >> yes, there is no intention to change the name of the arboretum. >> and then looking at the assignment and subletting clause it's pretty broad and it includes anybody using the gardens other than itself. it requires the consent of the general manager and it's sole and absolute discretion and wouldn't that include the concerns of cell phone towers? food trucks? vending machines and other concessions? >> yes. >> so maybe the way to address those points is to say that the general manager has the discretion to withhold its consent to those uses. those are my only points and i think that covers most of the issues in dennis' letter to us regarding use. because i think it is captured in the assignment and subletting clause. i'm leaving probably my colleague to address hours of operation and fees, but i think with respect to the concerns for other uses of the premises, we do capture in the assignment and subletting clause. >> commissioner harrison.

i am my name is stephanie longextra and i am actually a partner of starbucks. in the reason that i wanted to come up here is to share i have been with the company 20 years. and i want us to look at this and we have been talking a lot about, you know, whether it is the landlord, whether we have formula retail, well, you know what? we helped to develop the economics of the communities we go into. we have proven that time after time but not only do we do that, we don't just fill jobs, we build careers and i am an example of that. i started in the stores, in 20 years later, i am here a resident and i spend money here and i contribute to the independence as well as to the organization that i work at as well. so i would like us to consider not only just the development, but the development of the economy within the communities we are in and the careers that we build for the employees that work with us. so obviously for it, thank you. >> hi, my name is stephanie sly and i am here to read a letter on behalf of the san francisco council of district merchants who could n

one week is defensive names up, and the last week and a half has been cyclical names. the market can continue to go higher. we're sitting near the highs of the days, and the risk-on sectors, all leading the way. here's something interesting. tech has been a giant for the last few weeks. it's showing some sinds of getting a little tired. i've been mentioning all days we're at history highing, but 2% accomplice here from fedex. these are the guys who did the various transportation, expediters international, u.p.s., ryder, a really broad group moving to the up side. they seem to be happy about the affect they're going modest growth. up 2% to 4%. container shippers up 2 do 4. europe, there's no growth in europe. that's where some of these companies are stumbling. they seem to be pretty happy. mandy, back to you. >> so did that rotation into the large-tech stocks. thanks, bob. >>. >>> okay. time for the answer to our trivial question at the top of the show. this is unbelievable. the s&p 500 has gained 13.7% in just 87 trading days this year. that's great, but according to t

this name has been around 70 years. fight to change the name has been around probably half of that. in fact, recently a lawsuit was filed by a small group of native americans to push the team to finally changed its name. now the city council is getting in on the fight. we can tell you that calling the name derogatory and racist, longtime season-ticket holders and newly elected council member david grasso, is performing legislation today that would force the team to change the redskins' name. he already has a new suggested name, washington red tails, referring to the african american fighter pilots in world war ii. even robert griffin iii has seemingly jumped into the political debate, tweetin on tuesday -- cracked every time i go there, i'm reminded this is an offensive name and that there's a lot of people in the world that find it that way. we have an obligation to change it. >> we spoke with one sandoz said whatever the name of the team is, the city will always embraced it. i'm not sure if everyone feels the same way

. >> thank you for the commissioners and my name is jackie. this is the first time i come to this kind of situation. basically my neighbor their project is on 3249 street. i'm the next door neighbor. i have several major concerns. no. 1 is the extension of the building is eight feet into the encroachment of the rear yard and which block a major part of our deck. in addition, there is a very small rear yard after the 8 foot encroachment and there will be a large garbage can where the restaurant will be placed there if this immediately upset us. we are also concerned about the existing very congested parking situation. so that's a major concern. another one is an inadequate design. so prior to this, i also try to approach to the owner and architect to find a solution and basically the owner and architect said they have been into this process for a very long time so there is very little space and time and they can change this. and i also approach to a mediation service but was declined by the owner. the situation and on the left is our house and

my name is april. i'm presenting the seniors in the community, especially from [speaker not understood] for the elderly in district 1 and 4. (applause) >> in the past 46 years, south park has been providing a comprehensive range of services designed to empower seniors to maintain their independence, dignity and self-worth. the nutrition and senior center department assists low-income seniors who are culturally and socially isolated by providing activities and nutritious meals. as supervisor mar just mentioned, the senior's populations in both districts have been growing. the total number of seniors in district 1 and 4 is 31,98 4, age 60 and older. of which over 58% are asian or pacific islanders and 39% speak none or limited english. and over 30% of the seniors age 60 and older lives alone. the senior center located in district 1 and senior center located in district 4 serves over 200 seniors a day. in the past year with the budget cuts and nutrition program we have to limit our service. we had to turn

these names, tesoro, phillips 66, i love these names right now, because they can get out and refine and expand their oil shipments across the united states and out to the rest of the world. >> i like that, unlimited upside potential. mike, do you like this trade? >> i like the unlimited upside potential. i like the fact that you're limiting your downside risk. the refiners have had a stellar couple of years. and historically, these businesses were actually commodity businesses. you bought one commodity, you sold another and they tended to see their margins compress. it's been a phenomenal business. they've been able to buy cheap mid continent crude. when i look at a situation like this, you have stocks that have had such a strong run and you are tied to the demand story. going out and buying a call, in a relatively low volatility environment is an inexpensive way to get bullish exposure. i like that. >> okay, scott, what do you think? >> i actually am a little bit worried about this one. because it is fairly expensive. you are paying a fair amount for that call. this is the only way to
