, we're getting it out in front of the steel because it doesn't interrupt the steel structure, so that can be done ahead of time, they're move ining the opposite direction of that to help pick up that activity. and again in the east end, it's all about finishing up the lower portion under the lower concourse with columns and walls, and then moving on to the final lower concourse pores, we have one, the final one should be in june, we have the next one here friday or monday coming up here in april. the percentages you've seen before, almost all the work remaining is in the eastern section as well as columns, walls and final concourse, we'll keep tracking the fourth lift walls here shortly. some of the activities in this first slide, that first picture up on the left is that fourth lift wall getting started in the western section of the project, you can see if you look carefully, this is where all the utilities penetrations will start coming through nr the street, when it's sewer, water, power, telephone and connectivity. there's the bus ramp -- not the bus ramp, the pedestrian ramp stil

structural steel fabrication continues. one of the important pieces is the light column we will be getting closer as the erection goes across first street and there are the cast nodes being welded together up in vallejo. as of the end of last week we were shipped 275 and so just a very few left to ship. they all have been cast. they're receiving the final machining and there is a picture of one of the largest cast nodes on the project getting ready to ship. those are 20 tons. on the bus ramp the work is we're above the ground on the viaduct poring the first column and getting ready to first the first stage of the pylon for the cable state bridge and you will see steel going across first street. we will see more columns pored on the bus ramps and the standard walls and rebracing, much of what you have seen previously going forward for the next 90 days. we will see the start of the [inaudible] trades and with the structural steel as they follow that area. great numbers in addition to what paul brought up is good participation

this is just some shot from the structural steel fab shots, in southern california, up in the upper left, you can see -- up in oregon, you can see the pipe columns and cast nodes and some of the other beams being worked on. this will be the last time we'll talk about cast node fabrication, the final four should ship the month of april, those are the four corners or the two corners of the b street of the project, the heaviest cast nodes, they'll be moving on the the steel fabricators shortly, on the bus ramp, you can see in this shot and a couple of otheress, the work is starting to progress above ground, this month will complete the cdih piles which the support of the piles, they did pour the pile cap for the pile lon number 9 this month, so they're reinforcing and the pylon will start appearing above grade. you can see on the left there, you can see some of the columns sticking up on the bus ramp route from the bay bridge and that's just more reinforcing steel for a column in the lower right and the right side of that. so, pretty much the same progress for the next 90 days, as you heard

steel as an input to oil. think ain't where our iron/ore prices are -- >> you've become a currency guy as well as trying to be an oil guy. >> you got to think about currencies and commodities and put them together. think about like the chilean pesos wages to create copper. >> interesting. one follow-up question. you were telling me some of the major conglomerates that deal with multiple commodities and markets are having trouble creating a budget because they have currency risk in south africa, brazil and so on. can you talk about that? how are people working through that? >> saudi arabia is a classic example of this. we look at saudi arabia and they put a budget out based upon a $70 a barrel brent. but they don't know what their consumption basket is going to cost. the euro has been dropping tremendously, a huge discount in alls the goods they buy from europe, their food, agriculture from brazil and the brazilian real has weakened tremendously, the cost of their their metals and steel out of australia everyth

gene otani is here with more. >> steel is used in a lot of items for cars car bodies as well as steel frame construction for buildings. japan's crude steel output fell last year for the first time since 2011 when production was damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. industry officials are blaming last year's consumption tax hike. officials at the japan iron and steel federation say domestic output for fiscal 2014 ending march totalled nearly 110 million tons down 1.5% from the previous year. officials cite a drop in demand for automobiles and buildings after the consumption tax hike in april. they say steel output is to remain low until sum engineer. japan's domestic shipments of electrical home appliances dropped. shipments came to around $18 billion. that's down 12%. that's mainly due to an increase in consumption tax. unseasonable weather last summer toledo a drop in sales of air conditioners and refrigerators. shipments fell by 17.a% for refrigerators, 15.4% for air conditioners and 12% for washing machines. officials at the association expect sales to pick up. >>> toshiba has bee

i think we'll probably also see some of that ahead of the steel in the eastern zones, maybe zone 4 if they can start getting -- it's just a piece of work that needs to get out of the way, the logical thing would be after steel, what they found with the quantity of welding on the steel, there's a lot of time spent on those upper pipe come lum to bus deck and park level connections which would then rain sparks down on carpenters trying to build the forms for the wall, so it was a pretty easy once you see it visually, it was pretty easy adjustment for them to make and made a lot of sense because we did have delays on the fabrication of steel. >> they had to clear that with you? >> yeah, we all discussed it, we tried hard to stay out of their means and methods and let them work their way through their own schedule, i think that's what our true role is to help them with that, it's really their means and methods. anything else? >> great. and now i would like to ask dennis to provide the pla update. >> thank you, maria. good morning, board members, i'm here for the first squatter 2015pla ins

it was a steel company. his vision was to make steel. not in original casting the way it was largely done in and around pittsburgh, but by melting down existing steel and reforming it. the technology was developed so the steel could be rolled into one inch thick rolls and making make it much more malleable and suitable for converging into a variety of purposes. that is not the important thing. iversen decided that if he wanted his company to last for the long run and to be able to adapt, 40% of its success would be routed in his their technology and 60% in the people. he adopted the most radical in eke out terry e gala terrygalitarian culture of any company of which i'm aware in america. the reason i know this is i recruited the company to arkansas. i'm pretty sure he never voted for me. he was a very conservative republican. he don't want the government to time to do this. first of all, when he had 11 steel mills, they rented office space. they had a grand total of 22 people in the central office. with 11 steel mills. the workers were p
