in the tech industry the pressure is that the hours are long. most of the time women do not stay in these industries because they do decide to go have children, and ultimately i can see why facebook and apple are trying to offer this. however, at the end of the day what would really be helpful is having a family-friendly work environment where people can take off time to have children as long as those benefits are available, and i think facebook does offer some of them. >> the hours are long but voluntarily or involuntarily. when erik schmidt took ove over--provided what he called adult supervision in a room that was still a very young company, he said one of the first rules he put in place was that he couldn't sleep at work. you had to go home. he had to force people to go home. >> i think that sometimes the concept of voluntarily--i think everyone has a different interpretation of that. people who are not working hard enough, and if you do take off there are challenges of people who don't have kids say they do not get the same benefits of thos

dan, we have to start with the tech sector down today. are mega caps now in trouble? >> i think so. it was a blood bath in certain sub sectors in tech today and decent fundamental reasons why, but you have to think what we've seen in the past few months, we've seen the deterioration in small caps and nasdaq close below since late 2012 or january of 2013. now we have the mega caps here stuck on top of the s&p 500, which is still up on the year. dow erased the gains. when you think about the damage done in semiconductors and found it way into 3d, higher valuation stuff, i don't think it's over here yet. we've been talking about technical levels but you have to remember, we didn't get that close below the average -- >> come close. >> it's likely to come. that's the moment of truth and what you have to watch for early next week. >> you look at these mega cap tech stocks and one thing stands out and i'll take google out of the list. you look at intel and cisco, there isn't any top line growth. the only thing to propel them to the upside, people got bullish because any looked cheap compar

any of us expected the kind of explosion of development we're now seeing driven in large part by the tech industry by their desire to be in the city to be a part of this city and in the real estate needs both the residential and office and other that's generating i have to laugh we've come a long way from the point in time we were trying to lure office development south of market but offering development rights nobody has talked about that concept in a long time more recently i've made the objection that bicycles are part of our world to developers need to consider bicycle parking in residential and office structures it is rapidly bam more than that that's not a fad it's going away but very much a part of urban culture and planning for bicycles and pedestrian safety is a part of our streetscapes and very much part of what our departments are dealing with we see evidences of the continuing changes around us some of them happening far more quickly and it's a very petty environment but mary pointed out it brings a number of fundamental questions primary among those is how do we meet the hous
