thank you, shelley, for putting together this event. when i did a little bit of research, i found out that this woman was a force to be brought in -- to be reckoned with. she was a young woman who was full of passion and love, and life, she was going places. she had aspirations of being an attorney in serving in elected office. tragically, her life was ended at the tender age of 43. so, when i've thought about some of the common threads and qualities that annie and i shared, the one that stood out in my mind was passion. she was a passionate woman. passionate about being a community leader, about making changes in helping others, and being that voice for those who do not have a voice. when i think about emerge california and the work we are doing their to give more women -- women involved in the political process, i find that i also share the passion that she had. when i also think about some of the big issues that we are dealing with in our society today, i believe that the only way we are really going to see change is if we give women

shelley is just full of surprises. she is right. i just got back.rancisco is known worldwide as working locally and globally. we are on the move forward. family, where are you? -- emily, where are you? [applause] we have been partnering with the commission on women here from day one, and it has become a model globally. we convened some panels there. i moderated their panel, emily and the commission's panel. emily moderated the panel we did on merle and indigenous women, which was the theme of the un conference. everyone knows that you cannot do anything with those kinds of partnerships, without governmental and non- governmental women working together. we also did that with secretary clinton in september. she had her aipac conference. one of the meetings i had when i was on the east coast was in the secretary's office with water for foreign policy advisers who said they really need our help and following up the aipac conference with a non- governmental women's. we are pretty sure we will have a world conference on women. and xtech is to hold it here

economics. >> shelley, french government minister says that france, itain and the u.alk about releesing strategic reserves. we've heard that before. if you believe it, would it help? >> well, you're absolutely right. we have heard it before, and frankly, no one has commited to this yet. there is talk that it could just be rhetoric to push down price that is are currently quite high. now typically, release of strategic reserves is done in a time of war, in time of a major crisis. it happened in lib ya, and people could say that was a vil war. right now we're no faed with war, and the u.s. hasn't said nor has france said they're going to do it. we think it won't happen, but you have to look further into the geopolitical risks driving the market. >> tom: you heard the talk about possible shortages of gasoline. do you believe that this summer with refinery shut downs? >> well, gasoline demand has come off. as you note crude prices have come off again today because of an injection of 7.1 million barrels. wob could say the u.s. is awash in crude oil. globally, we're tight n. terms of demand,

[applause] >> thank you. thank you very much for this very -- it is very much appreciated. i am sitting here listening to the introductory remarks, and i have flashbacks. it begins with having a different attitude. i have a strong mamom. understanding how a single mothers have to survive and raise a whole family, it gives your life's lessons. i also need to thank anita because she appointed me as her husband. [applause] i can go on and on about a lot of things, but i'm more excited to work hard with us. there is a lot more to do. there will be efforts that will try to hold us back as a society, but we have to continue moving forward. we cannot let the kind of radio talk-show host and things like that hold us back. i, too, have to express my personal shock how such a vicious language could be used. when someone is invited to present their expertise as a law student about the needs for women. it has been spoiled to be in san francisco because this is often our culture, to listen and to follow up with the articu

we have high pressure in new england forcing cooler air down the coast keeping us stable and shelley. 46 of the airport, 47 columbia. these temperatures will not move much tonight. rain showers, we may have a bit, but as severe weather. this will sweep of the test and we will have a good chance for showers and storms most likely in the morning. if you are planning for outdoors tomorrow come and do it later in the day. there most certainly could be some thunderstorms at that time with high temperatures between 57-62. the high temperature rarely 48 on sunday, 41 monday. a chance for a the rain or snow showers. we go from your 60 with showers sunday and monday rebounding back to sunshine tuesday and wednesday. we could be close to 70 on wednesday. >> from the susquehanna bank sports center, this is a love and sports. >> as the business side of football settles in, more business decisions for the ravens. one decision likely means lee evans final highlight will forever remain pure agony. as expected, they put a franchise tag on the star running back meaning he cannot leave as a free agent.
