have accepted the rights to pier 54. i think that is a major agreement. a lot of concern were raised about views, the impact of developing in front of those marina piers. this has been a wonderful solution, took a lot of sensitivity on everyone's part to understand those concerns, while at the same time, making sure we've fulfilled the eir. we are working for different sets of hands as we are moving the acr event forward. i want to once again praised mr. barkley's participation. he is learning what it is like to do business with the city. he is learning, has kept a calm approach -- perhaps not at the beginning. there was a high level of anxiety. we have a lot of other decisions that need to be made, so it is my style to make sure that we set a foundation where we can talk with each other and present those challenges so that we can make agreements. each of us gives up something to having said that, this event is moving forward. the cruise ship terminal is moving forward. the races -- you will start to see the smaller boat

the breathing would be essentially north and south of the pier 13 public access here. for the long term marina development rights, there would be none in the ring kind of open water basin. more to the northern and, again to free up the views, debate the use -- the bay views. and the provision for long-term marina development rights down at the waterfront area that was just announced by the event authority. in all, that really is pretty much paralleled by what is -- from an environmental impact analysis perspective, represented in the reduced development sub-alternative in chapter 11, which is one of the two environmentally superior alternatives identified. i think that, through all of the work with the community and the event of authority, we have come to a point where this is a project that has really of held a very high standard of environmental sustainability. given those changes, there are a number of edits and revisions that unfortunately i will have to just walk you through after this presentation. in terms of the mitigation measures themselves, those actually do

a new apron, and a pier 23 handrail to protect public access in that area. jonathan talk a little bit about the dredging -- jonathan talk a little bit about the dredging process. there are regulatory costs and the like that we are recommending for your approval today. the total of that worked we estimate at $74 million, higher than the $54 million we estimated when we were before you in november. additionally, we tried to get our arms around some of the post-match work that will be eligible for reimbursement. that principally includes the future seismic upgrade. i mentioned the partial upgrade. there will be the need for additional piles to support the future development at the site. we would propose the same sort of refined seismic analysis there. that work, we recommend, be deemed approved as long as there are no flood hazards at the site. we estimate the cost of that at $31 million, and that totals $105 million, pre and post- match, excluding work that may occur at peers -- piers 26 and 28. diving into the financial analysis, negotiations have been ongoin

this is "piers morgan tonight." let's start with the obvious question, how do you actually pronounce your name? >> charlize theron. it's what i thought would be easiest for people. >> what is the african way of pronouncing it? >> charlize theron. >> i much prefer that. say it again. >> charlize theron. >> you were raised south african and came to l.a. with a broad accent. you quite consciously went and taught yourself how to speak in an american accent, right? >> yeah, i mean, look, i was pushed into a corner. i started going out on auditions. the feedback is she's great but can she do it in an american accent? my english was poor. i make a lot of grammar mistakes. my mother lives two minutes away. >> she speak african to her? >> yeah. >> speak african to me. >> well, i mean -- [ speaking foreign language ] >> wow, i didn't know you fancied me. that's amazing. that's incredible. you speak it fluently? >> i think more fluently than i speak english. >> well, miss theron, woody told w magazine charlize is not a delicat

>> yeah. >> piers: have you picked a song yet? >> no. >> piers: what do you sing in the shower?> almost anything frank sinatra sings. >> piers: perfect with harry connick. what is your favorite sin rat tra song? >> i don't have one. >> piers: going took your death sped bed scene. take you to the funeral. my story is much too sad to be told >> piers: the one thing but, morgan freeman, i have established over the last hour, is your story is not too sad to be told it has been a story of joyousay

>> yeah. >> piers: have you picked a song yet? >> no. >> piers: what do you sing in the shower?th harry connick. what is your favorite sin rat tra song? >> i don't have one. >> piers: going took your death sped bed scene. take you to the funeral. ♪ my story is much too sad to be told ♪ >> piers: the one thing

specifically, with regard to the areas of piers 14 to 22. the mayor called me into his office and suggested to me that that was off the table. so i listened, and we went through a pretty neat process where we talk about what we were trying to achieve. the thing that made us really consider what this was about, we are not talking about a couple of years. potentially quite a long time. so we have to join with the city help us get things done that we want to get done for the benefit of all. anyway, i just want to say that it was a pleasure to work with you, mr. mayer, over the last several makes -- mayor, over the last several weeks to get this done. [applause] >> i know the port commission and staff, and the public must consider this. there are meetings on going, but they came down because we have engaged them in the discussion. it was important enough to make a special announcement. so thank you for being here. that is pretty much the information we wanted to share. we will open up for questions. >> [inaudible] >> again, we have had an incred

also, the ac 45 adn ac 42 catamarans need to moore around pier 42. they have to amend the plan in order to allow that activity to go forward. they would also issue a major permit for the entire event, and we will talk about that a little bit more in this presentation because part of that major permits will require some permanent public access improvements to port property. i will breeze through the federal and state approvals. the army corps of engineers typically approves construction activities in federal waters along the port's jurisdiction. we are consulting with both the united states fish and wildlife service and the national marine fisheries service to look at impacts on endangered species listed at the federal level. national historic preservation act compliance with respect to historic resources. the state lands commission will weigh in on dredging activities in some of the waterfront areas through adoption of the lease. the regional water quality control board takes a number of actions with respect to the event. there is section 401 water q

i say that it is next to pier 40.hey make the assumption that it is next to pier 39, but we know that is not true. the numbering is bob and even. it -- the numbering is odd and even. then north of the ferry building we have pier one. >> 1, 3, and 5 have been redeveloped into a combination of office space and restaurants. they are in the process of leasing those out and it is also listed on the national register of historic places being a sailor, you are familiar with the public wants that sits behind us. >> usually, i sailed out of south harbor pier 40. there are very few places along the whole bay waterfront or there is public access. right up the street at pier 1 1/2 is a brand new public launch or you can pull in a boat up to 40 feet, spend hours, and it is a wonderful thing. whoever did that, thank you. >> it is a public/private partnership that was done with the port redevelopment. we hope to be putting in more of that type of facility up and down the waterfront as part of a collection of smaller facilities that

pier 80 and beyond the port property. major port infrastructure upgrades, we have not contemplated a plan in either the capital plan or the waterfront land-use plan for fixing pier 30-32. we're getting the benefit of those upgrades. the tenants, we are very mindful of any impact on the tenants that would be displaced in the process. you should be proud of the real- estate division's efforts to do outreach to all of the tenants trying to make a concession easy for them, but there are many will see major benefits as a result of having the america's cup, both retail and maritime. we talked a lot about environmental stewardship. that has been a major theme of the planning efforts. we are very proud of the staff level of the project. i want to mention terry shore and diane, who are major advocates of this major air quality improvement project, and there are many other efforts. obviously, it has helped accelerate the terminal project, as you saw earlier today. that is probably the key benefit to the port. i mentioned 30-32, and

this is "piers morgan tonight." good evening. the gop has really been the elephant in the room of american politics as the party's front-runners play a game of political musical chairs, with perry, michele bachmann, herman cain, now newt gingrich's turn. listen to what he said today after a meeting with donald trump. >> i want -- not yet. he's got to do this debate. >> and a trump endorsement isn't the only one in play, even though the cain train has run off the rails, the former candidate's endporsment could come any day. there's only one man who knows what it means for the president's re-election campaign and that's david axelrod who joins me now. welcome. >> good to be with you, piers. >> you're feeling fairly chipper, aren't you? you had an extraordinary week, unemployment dropping below 9% for the first time in the president's reign at the white house and coming at the same time when the resurgent stock market saw its highest week's performance since 2009. you would imagine that there's been a bit of momentum here the right

pier 26, 20, 30, and 32. tent is to use 30/32 for the set up. you can see people have to again allowing public access through their. that was a clarity item to ensure that was there. then, basically, you have the behind-the-scenes things that would take place as well. again, if this was not completed in 2012 in time, this would be set up at pier 80. here is a view of what that will look like. you have two cranes that would again be lifting the votes in and out of the water for the teams to get at. all this stuff goes away after the race, of course. another perspective of that. allowing that public corridor through there would allow some viewing opportunities to see behind the scenes and see the excitement and preparation that takes place. here is peer 80 and what it will look like in 2012. there is also a back up for 2013 as well as there is additional need for space, it would be used for that as well. in this case, public access is not indicated on here and has been discussed, so this is really set up for the team, and we continue had discussio

nighttime temporary uses and the tent structure on the pier. everything is programmed in the center the exact same way. the same thing with christie field east and west marina green. exact same configuration plan for 2013. all temporary stuff that would be put up and taken down. the marina green would be set up essentially the same. because a number of estimated visitors that we are expecting -- then it could accommodate people here as well as at the village. they would be broadcasting obviously at both locations. again, what it would look like -- the same in 2012 as in 2013. no major changes. the one distinct change -- as you will notice in the water, going back to the plans, we do not have temporary docks and so forth. we are not looking votes in and out of the water. again, the same views you are going to see out. same thing for fort mason would be used. essentially the same period and aquatic park. i think the final one here would be -- yes. here is the main village now and 2013, as i mentioned. if you look at the top there, the purple hat

i can tell. >> piers: all good fun. not ruling anything out here, let's not be too hasty, who would be the perfect guy be? >> i don't know. i guess, you know, funny is important. >> piers: make you laugh or laugh at your jokes? >> he doesn't have to laugh at my jokes, these make me laugh. >> piers: do you dream wistfully of a fairy tale wedding and children, that kind of thing, or not really? when i've sign you interviewed before, marriage, you are not that hung up on marriage. >> i'm not incredibly hung up. i've been kind of misrepresented here and there about that, but i just think that marriage, you know, it was -- this is just factual. it was an institution that was created for property and power dynamic and to marry two powerful families and to make sure that the property was, you know, given to the right people. >> piers: make it sound so cynical. love and romance? >> then it was. it became that during renaissance. i totally appreciate it. believe in love and romance and all that the actual institution of marriage

i said, piers was too nice to you two. there were many times just between piers you guys would take someone -- like remember the guy with the furry costumes and you said it's ridiculous. i happened to agree with you. i think they took him through just to tweak you. >> i'm thinking, howard, if they carry on their ludicrous past time of putting through these terrible acts what we should really angle for is next season, the one after this, it just be me and you sitting on there. >> let me tell you something, i would approve of that. but, you know, i love howie, and i love sharon. they're great people. i've known sharon for years and i've known howie for years. i look forward to working with them. maybe i'm working for them. i'm not sure. i think i'm working for simon cowell. >> yeah, what are you going to do about that, by the way? >> i'll put them on notice. if they love the show, and it's a pretty good job. if you love the show, for god sakes, treat it as if it's real. don't put through acts that don't deserve it. there are

thank you, piers. >> thank you for your time. appreciate it. >>> when we come back, the man who was a republican front-runner almost exactly four years ago and then lost. rudy giuliani. who would he endorse? when you're a sports photographer, things can get out of control pretty quickly. so i like control in the rest of my life... especially my finances. that's why i have slate, with blueprint. i can make a plan to pay off big stuff faster... or avoid interest on everyday things. that saves me money. with slate from chase, i'm always in control. financially, anyway. get slate with blueprint and save money. call 855-get-slate today. woman: day care can be so to save some money, i found one that uses robots instead of real people. 'cuz robots work for free. robot 1:good morning... robot 1:...female child. sfx: modem dial-up noise woman: are there flaws? yeah, um, maybe. anncr: there's an easier way to save. anncr: get online. go to geico.com. get a quote. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. somebody didn't book

>> how are you, piers? >> here we go then. we're exactly where you were when you were 12 points ahead and dreaming of becoming the nominee and president, then as i said, we all know what happened. if you're newt gingrich, fairly ominous, i would imagine, these parallels. >> being a front-run ser always homennous. we have seen what happened to michele bachmann, rick perry, herman cain, we saw what happened to hillary clinton. she was in roughly the same position i was in, maybe even further ahead of barack obama. so being a front-runner is always perilous. it doesn't mean you're not going to win. newt has a few advantages i never had. i knew i didn't have a chance in iowa. newt can win iowa. then really i lost in florida because i lost in new hampshire. and by that time i was out of it. so two primaries pretty much reduced my chance in florida to almost nothing. so now if newt can win in iowa, if he can come close in new hampshire because i think everyone expects that governor romney, being governor of massachusetts and living

. >> this is "piers morgan tonight." we're with joel and victoria osteen, two of my favorite guests. never afraid to tackle tough questions. always entertain ing. it was such a lively conversation the last time we were here, i invoited them back for more. seems like only yesterday you were gracing me with your presence. now you're here. you've got this great new book. "every day is a friday: how to be happier seven days a week." i'm thinking to myself you are the two happiest people i've ever met anyway. how could you possibly get any happier? >> i think we all can. if we learn to -- you know, to ignore and certain battles not to fight. we can all be improving and growing and being happier. >> why fridays? when i came to new york in particular, i was horrified that on fridays my staff all came in dressed like, you know, people on the street. because it was apparently dress down friday. i was like, what does that mean? it apparently means you dress badly. wear jeans and old t-shirts and things. to me, i associate friday w

the pier 27 cruise terminal is one of the largest maritime infrastructure programs that the port has ever undertaken. for nearly three decades, the port has look for ways to develop a new passenger terminal the fitting a city like san francisco. passenger ships are getting bigger, and our current facilities are being taxed by today's passenger volumes. while past efforts were earnest, circumstances dictated that the past plans for cruise terminal developments never came to fruition. court staff, understanding the economic benefits -- port staff knew of another strategy would be needed if we were going to be successful. it is estimated that the industry brings in annually about $40 million of economic benefits to the region. the average contribution economically to the region is about $1 million. it also directly benefits our other maritime industries, such as longshore, a hug and tell, our pilots, and ship suppliers. the cruise industry is also vital to the ship repair sector, where with the 2008 dry dock expansion, san francisco is now capable of repairing the largest cruise ships t
