. >> i am the vice-president of general manager, located at the corner of bush and samson. i am here, i work for the agent representing, the owner of the building. located out of frankfurt, germany. i am here today to protest the issuance of the permits to the company. at one bush. despite the fact that this is not our building where the permit is being issued, this is the reason i brought this poteau. to show you -- it is hard to see because it is small. this corner right here is the corner where the permit has been here. president goh: a wonder if you could slide the picture over because you are off the screen. >> the other building is -- that is where it will be located? >> i believe so. we have two mobile food trucks. permits have been issued for our building. the other is right here. we speak from our concern we have. we speak from firsthand experience at the adverse effects we feel the mobile food trucks create in this corridor. we have concerns about our building. we have to trucks there currently. this permits have already been issued but

ramps, but the freeway system is a system that basically used washington and clay and broadway and samson and battery to move traffic on to the embarcadero freeway, and they just wore them down. they did not go back and look at what changes needed to be made. this included start walls all along washington street. there was a director who was very familiar with the original heights. he is going to talk about that. when this area was developed, these buildings along here were developed -- what everyone recognizes. what happened in 1976 is that the city wed preprocessor along with the return of an agency and planning department to say how do we develop the area north of jackson street. this is now but you know as the gateway commons. when that happens, the city, the return of an agency, the planning commission, and the board of supervisors change the height limits from all of these blocks. the planning department changed it. this shows that there are two laundered 75 feet high. the city abandoned it in 1974. a former director will be talking about that. there are two other people that i want

he is really samson bringing down the temple. >> michael, you are republican and you have not endorseds campaign. sg >> and i won't. >> u.s. is telling iran's leader to not block oil shipments in the straight of hormuz as a investigation is being called for in the death of a nuclear scientist. despite u.s. involvements in. is there any reaction to this, inside iran to the u.s. warning? >> it's an on going reaction, iran always has used this threat of shutting down the straight of hormuz, as you know, the army had war games though. they said that it would be as easy as drinking a glass of water to shut it down. so more war games and practices are coming in the coming weeks in the persian gulf. andrea? >> and now joining me for our exclusive interview, u.s. ambassador to the united nation susan rice. i know you are zojoining us fro the white house today. first of all, your meetings at the white house and this decision to warn the iatola so directly, really the supreme leader not to shut down the straight of hormuz, why this worni i warning and it have an impact? >> obviously the united s

i think the problem in samson, partly look at this and say they're having a slowdown in the sales growth in particularly in europe. really this is about cost. this is about the changing model for their margins. they're spending so much money. looks like the spending trend is only going to increase throughout 2012. they have the cloud initiative, that's favorable. but the spending component of it, that leads me not to want to own the stock. even as karen said in the pullback. >> and they have one of the classic retail problems is they're going to sell things at a loss and make it up on volume. old style problem. and investors have been very forgiving about their constant reinvestment. but the profitability has always been kind of up and down arrangement regardless of what the stock does. >> interestingly enough, their operating margin came in at 1.5% and was looking for basically a half a percent. operating margins were surprisingly -- i know it's crazy we're talking about this. it's pretty good right? so how do you trade the stock? i think you have two points of reference. the first is a

it's interesting because it's by the maker samson mordan, who is a well-known maker, and there are collectorsrate on collecting silver by him. that would be of interest to mordan collectors and pincushion collectors. this one i like because it's a kangaroo and there are australian collectors of pincushions. they would be very keen to have one like that. you've got some great rarities here: an ostrich, i've never seen a camel before, and a carp as well. i think it's a carp... all very rare pincushions. this is my own particular favourite. it's a porcupine and the cushion is inside the animal rather than external. so if you take a pin and you put it in one of the holes and press it into the cushion, then it becomes one of the porcupine's quills. are you still collecting or not? yes, i mean it's taken me 24 years to get this number. i must admit when i first started, it was easy to buy things like elephants and pigs, but gradually, as the years have gone on, i suppose i only buy one every two years probably. i look in every antique shop i come to, but these days i see very few. i think that's be

samson vols agreed this was a big issue -- simpson-polls agreed this was a big issue but did not mention it because it was not score a goal. at some point, we have to take off the cbo blinders and get to work on this. we cannot burn $700 billion to $1 trillion a year and do nothing about things like hospital infections that kill people every year, run across, and are completely preventable. -- run up costs, and are completely preventable. it is a constant frustration. there is so much to be done, and it is such a bipartisan thing we could be doing. and hospitals and health-care systems, from kaiser in california to gundersen lewis in wisconsin to mayo in florida and minnesota all across this country are actually doing it and showing that it works. they are actually saving money by delivering better care, and yet, we have these budget discussions that operate in this artificial cbo universe and we never even take out on. -- take that on. that is concluded. >> [laughter] >> to determine what to say something? >> i always enjoy -- did the chair want to say something? >> i always enjoyed the
