to the steel tower -- they are now pull-mounted. we did everything we could to address that comment. on the drawings you will see the proposed antennas on brannan street are directly adjacent to the tower. does that answer your question, commissioner? commissioner fong: sort of. so the antenna that we are looking at is attached to the lower portion of the structure? >> the steel tower contains a couple of microwave dishes and two panel antennas operated by verizon. we originally proposed to install our antennas directly below verizon's panel antennas, but based on that mr. dragon's suggestions, we have taken them off the steel tower, on the same location, but not connected to the tower. our antennas are a couple feet over the parapet. commissioner fong: so the difference is those are larger equipment, that is verizon's? >> yes, sir. commissioner fong: i understand now, thank you. >> they belong to the landlord, they are not associated with at&t, what is up there correctly. commissioner fong: okay, thank you. president olague: commis

steel each saw small gains. an industry source reported american steel product has grown from a year ago, and american steel mills are running at their highest capacity of the year. while we're talking about materials, check out gold. here's the past 90 sessions. with today's $7 rally, gold is back at its early june prices and less than $25 away from its record high set in early may. dutch conglomerate philips warned it sees a significant drop in the operating profit of its lighting and lifestyles division. weak european consumer demand gets the blame. shares falling more than 10%. other lighting conglomerates-- siemens and g.e.-- saw some selling, but to a lesser degree. and that's tonight's "market focus." >> tom: so the federal reserve stays the course, keeping interest rates at historical lows and winding up its bond buying program. now it's wait and see. tonight's "street critique" guest is hilary kramer, editor of gamechangerstocks.com. so hillary, what should investors do as the fed plays it patient right

they've put up the steel support. they've now completed the framing and will start putting the north face of the wall, the side that faces millennium, they'll start putting the plaster and metal panels and stone on. hopefully we'll be able to take down the temporary barricade and finish up that north face by the end of june. and finish up the whole project there by the middle of july. the transit center that buttresses the main thing going on there, and in zone four is the main work. they've been pulling piles, the wood piles that executive director just spoke about. we're about 70% to 80% through with that and should be completed by the end of next week. as i also said, they're staging their fabrication of their structural steel for their shoring system, shoring wall systems in the central area, and started refabbing all that. and they're starting the pretrenching this month for the shoring wall, so they'll be going around the entire perimeter of the project, removing any obstructions prior to the installation of the

and in fact in the steel sector, the steel workers contributed to the return of steel to the united statesontributions and wage concessions. >> they have done a wonderful job of the steel workers making that more cooperative with the mills and existing u.s. steel i will acknowledge. certainly the open door policy practiced in the steel industry in the '60s and '70s contributed to its decline. similarly, they're much like politicians, they're elected by boards. and basically look for short-term solutions, much like we're seeing with our budget deal. >> sandy, let me go back to you. the uaw was integral, many people would say and i think it's accurate, to the return of the auto sector to the united states. when the federal government helped to bail out the auto industry, not ford obviously, but chrysler and general motors, the uaw made significant concessions. was that the right thing to do? >> well, i think our focus is wrong. i think we should be looking at reducing the costs of health care. i think we missed the boat on national health care. it costs $1500 per car less to build a car in c

steel stocks were also hot. u.s. steel and a.k. steel were upgraded to buy at deutsche bank. the analyst thinks steel pricing will strengthen. both stocks were up more than 5%. allegheny tech also benefited from the bullish sentiment, gaining more than 4%. homebuilders were hurt today. k.b. homes fell hard, down 15% as volume spiked to more than seven times the normal pace. really falling off the shelf. shares are at their lowest price since last august. and this was the fuel-- a much- worse-than-expected quarterly loss. it delivered fewer new homes and saw a drop in new orders. news corp sold its myspace business for a fraction of what it paid for it. remember back in 2005, newscorp bought the then-number-one social networking website myspace for $580 million. today it sold it for $35 million to an ad targeting firm. shares of newscorp added about 1%. bit of a relief rally. and that's tonight's "market focus." >> tom: on friday, automakers release june sales figures. it has been a month marked by high gas prices, higher vehicle prices and a shortage of some models. tonight's

whatever steel was in there is long gone all along the waterfront. >> wonderful buildings. at the double dog and a beer. >> this is wonderful. it is right on the waterfront. it is due piles. >> that is the location of what is now the san francisco port authority? >> yeah, port offices. and there is a new office there and slip. this is one of the few places where they recently provided a small boat docking on the waterfront. there are very few places where you can stop on the

it would be pouring it probably on a steel kind of thing. but at this point, the process changed largely during -- after world war ii. set up rebuilt belgium, rebuilt france, rebuilt -- so before all our glass was domestic and after world war ii it became foreign. they had all the new factories and we had the old ones. so they set up a product, and they would pour it and polish it automatically, so it was perfectly flat. and that was the origin of the polished plate. then, subsequently a process came up called float glass. and that was just revolutionized the industry because they poured glass out on a bed of hot tin, voluntary-in tin. why this -- vol tin tin. how they came up with that -- they just poured it on the bed and it was self-leveling and they made it so fast, cooled it down -- i mean you go to the factory in stockton and it's just like making cellophane or whatever. this comes in, comes out, bam. and it's now, you know, inexpensive and quick. and so the word -- technically it's not polished but it's just plate. it works. and so th

if we don't maintain the steel, i mean, the salt corrodes the steel. so zee to stay ahead of that. >> bob, one thing, i am interrupting again. one thing i didn't realize about the bridge, i have a lot of experience with it. i grew up in the north bay. i've crossed it a million times. when i ran the san francisco half marathon, i was so excited to run across it but it was the hardest part of the run because i didn't fact northe fact it's bowed. i thought it would be a nice cruise straight across flat. but the bridge is bowed and with the wind and the fog it was tough. but i made it. >> yeah, i was trying to find a representation of where you can see, we're talking about the bowed nature of the bridge. but i don't think -- >> you don't feel it when you drive across it. >> here's a model. of course, it's not -- it's much, much smaller than the bridge itself. but you definitely get that sense. just think of the engineering that went in to this and it will completely confound me and i'll have nothing else to say because i don't know what i'm talking about.

it requires a steel frame. for a balcony, what you would expect to see is half inch tempered glass. and that's really not very expensive. and but the thing there is, you're going to have to probably do it in pieces so that, in case one of those pieces broke, you'd still have that handrail that goes across the top of that, keeping you back so that you aren't falling over with the broken glass. >> right. and the code talks about other types of protection. you can't just have a single piece of glass, without some other type of protection, and it's in this handout that you have here. >> that code may change with the advent of special materials. eventually, we will come and say -- and it's been supplied in different cities, where we take a century -- it's called century guard, whereas there is this piece of plastic in between a couple of pieces of one eneeled, and one heat treated and the other tempered, so that even if it broke it stays together and stays rigid. so there really isn't reason then for that top handrail. >> the building code in san francisco says that we can approve produc

alexandra steele is joining me now. first story if you didn't guess is about michael jackson's "thriller" jacket going on sale later this month. what's amazing, michael jackson wore that jacket almost 30 years ago when that title album "thriller" came out. and so much has happened in those three decades. clearly, of course, he's passed on. but now we've got this auction and they're thinking it's going to bring in a lot of money. anywhere between $200,000 and $400,000. >> what's so funny, two years ago his famous white glove sold for $350,000. they thought at that time it was only going to get $50,000 and they got $350,000. the expectation now is between $200,000 and $400,000. you never know. if you're scared of the stock market this may be a good bet. you never know. >> what's also interesting about this jacket is that he gave it before he died to the two designers, the men who had created the jacket. and he signed it to them and so, again, i do think that that's going to increase the value of this jacket and what it is

here's a hinge which is solid stainless steel. so stainless steel or brass or bronze or, you know, other similar materials which are designed to be exposed to weather are what you have to use for exterior. if you use anything that has galvanized or other it will -- unless -- thank you, unless it's hot dipped galvanize it will rust. people say it's galvanized but it's what they call electroplated galvanized. maybe it lasts for -- yeah. so, for exterior use, it's almost always wort the extra cost to use, you know, stainless steel bronze, brass or certainly hot tipped ga have a niesed at the lowest -- galvanized at the lowest cost and don't use an interior hardware on the outside of a building. it won't last at all. you'll be back there. and the cost -- people say, i'm going to save some money by using cheap paint or cheap hardware or cheap something. the cost is not in the material. the cost is not in the paint. the cost is not in the hardware. the cost is in the time, the prep, the installation and all that work. so, i always say,

as they would against an american steel company that was doing the same thing. such as in the trust busting that it gave birth to, competition law 120 years ago. also there's the antisubsidies code under theth wto that allow us to look at the capital structure behind chinese firms and if it's being provided to those firms in a discriminatory way c back home, that's clearly designed to help them achieve n export objective, let's say, then we have those tools as well which are more multilateral which we can pursue. if it turns out that there's some new kind of economic poison associated with chinese companies in the world today -- because china really is different than anythinged that' come before. if we can identify a new kind of economic phenomenon associated with the chinese state-owned enterprises, then certainly let's dfo a study about it. let's think what that threat is. nobody has really been able to identify it yet. as derek said, there's such a tiny pittance of chinese global investment to date compared to existing multinational company investment that it

but steel allegedly tracked them down and tried to kidnap them. when that failed police say he apparently shot them both in the head. volore's neighbors are shocked. >> horrible. they were both really night. she was really nice. she was sweet. >> police found steel at a park and as they approached him, he shot himself in the head. >> this morning a new low in sacramento politics. lawmakers aren't pulling punches when it comes to the budget. things almost came to blows on the state assembly floor as lawmakers tried to iron out a budget deal. >> let's not buy the insurance policy that tony soprano is selling us. >> i take offense to the reference of the sopranos as a proud italian american i resent that and ask the commenter to make apology to italian americans in california. >> i will apologize to any italian americans who are not in the mafia and engaged in insurance scams. my reference is not lost on any one here. this is not an attack on any one. >> republican assembly man don wagner's apology did not calm things. assembly man warren confronted

it says prefabricated steel building plans drawn in the east. the creek bridge and it's a lift bridge and recently refurbished and reopened two years ago. >> and renamed. >> what's the new name? >> nishkin. >> really and also a structural engineer. >> yes. >> this was opened in the 50's and replace a bridge from 1915 and apparently inside a art decko and the rack and the pinion gear that operates the bridge. >> it's a draw bridge. >> and double leaf bridge. >> the old oriental house. >> and this survived the earthquake. >> and the fire. >> and the fire as well. it was made a landmark in 97 and damaged in the 89 earthquake and in an attempt to fix it or replace it and we have a building inside and some ways the new building structure is supporting the masonry of the old warehouse and you can see it and it's fantastic how it's done and called facadism and in our world and just save the outside but it's better to save that than nothing i think, and here is the little sign on it and the oriental warehouse and all of that remains of the pacific steam

making the sculpture involves forging and fabricating steel. we used to deal to create this flowing, central sculptor, heating, bending, grinding, painting, bending, and adding a patina to it. layers and layers of craftsmanship that went into this. >> of the artists who participated in this project are all bay area of projects. they work in a wide variety of media. metal, glass, natural elements, photography, just a range of different approaches and aesthetics. so we have created a nice collection of art work that is reflective of the current date. art scenes. and we invite everyone to participate and to see the unique art works that have been developed. >> to learn more, visit >> hello. welcome to "culturewire." we are here today with bay area artist jody chanel, and we are here to see the plaza where your piece has just been installed. >> i have been doing large-scale paintings in the galleries and museums, and the idea that in the future, i could do something that would hang out a little bit longer than the duration of the installation the k

passing through the park they saw families in the dark steeling chest nuts from the trees. at dinner everyone called him commander ga even though he didn't look like commander ga. see knew that this man was not going to leave that her husband was not coming back be and from now on this man wouldn't be wished away. he would have to be dealt with as her husband had to be dealt with. they crossed the river the bridge lights showing the color of his bruises. they drove through the cemetery and the amusement park. she asked about the vehicle they were driving. he turned side ways in the road. the headlights was a man running from the zoo with an oan egg in his hand. do you feel the man hungry enough to steel or for the man who must hunt him down. >> is that the bird who suffers? >> thwhere did you get this ca? he didn't answer. you know it's a fake; right . this car, he said is revered in america. they are quite rare much i recognize this car it was a prop in one of my movies. this was the car he was escaping i saw kissed a trader in the back seat. how did you get this thing off

engineering and materials science provided a higher quality of steel to build with, and having passenger elevators meant it was the necessary anymore to climb a long flight of stairs to get to the top of the building. the elevator made the upper floors of the building more attractive than they were before. >> here we were at the historic st. francis hotel, which was actually a representation of the evolution of elevators. can you tell us more about san francisco history here at the st. francis? >> sure. st. francis demonstrates well the evolution of elevated technology. and substantially damaged the 1906 earthquake and rebuilt in 1907 or 1908, and extend it again in 1913. then a new tower was added in 1932, so there is all sorts of elevator technology you can see at the st. francis that very much represents the building history of san francisco. >> i understand there is a really old elevator still operating here. >> that is right, the elevator installed in the 1913 expansion. we can go look at that. >> let's go take a look. here we are in a spectacular st. francis lobby. here is the cloc

you couldn't break through the stainless steel grids. but it was essentially a screen that came down over the exterior. >> there is a wonderful example of that in san francisco. when you go to the area where the new giants ballpark is, the old san francisco fire department pump station, which is at the corner of second and townsend streets, which is now converted to the fire department headquarters. they used to have gigantic steam pumps and pumped it into the high water pressure system, which is all over the city, the big hydrants with the colored tops. now they have small diesel pumps so the rest of the building is used for the headquarters. if you look at that building you will see, above the windows, are large metal cases that hold rolldown shutters, that were intended so that they could separate the building from another 1906-style configuration, and continue to pump water out of the bay to this separate water system for -- so that they can -- and it was put in place after the '06 earthquake, when of course all of the water supplies
