at the same time, the on-time performance, in the way we measure it, it is with a combination of visual observations and automatic passenger counters, and this is taking a look at some of the things we want to do to improve our on-time performance. and there is some of the routes. there is the lowest performing one, and there is a range of why. i mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. on a monthly basis, we're going to do a performance audit, which we will take another look at the schedule, the on-time performance, the open runs, and some of the incidences at the locations, it turns, how many, and those kinds of things come back on a route by run bases with a recovery plan, but in answer to your question, i would be happy to provide a report to fill in the numbers, and we can pretty much customize it to get whatever information you need. >> if the chair would not mind, note we could have that at the meeting to see where we stand, and notify the board members if we are not trending in the right direction instead of waiting. >> i am happy to do that. as i said, we are data rich in terms of

time is 6:21. while high oil prices are hurting you at the pump, they're fueling shelve ron's bottom line. the oil company says it will post a higher first quarter profit compared to the fourth quarter of last year. this is due to outlook for exploration and production which has risen with oil prices. so far they say they're up more than 30% since mid-february. >>> verizon is confirming it will no longer offer a one year contract option as of april 17th. the wireless company says the policy change is happening because most customers are opting for two year contracts. there is word however they may introduce a month to month prepaid plan offering unlimited voice and text for $50 a month. data plans though would cost extra. >>> all right. time now 6:22. a zoo battle in berlin. why this one focuses on the remains of a beloved polar bear. >>> and what jerry brown plans on doing today in the bay area on his 100th day as california's governor. >>> good morning. if you're driving any time soon on highway

there were demonstrations outside the times that call for new times the al-jazeera times. and then in 2010 we had the wikileaks and we have wikileaks, particularly it's cable gate, the top of the state department diplomatic cables. again, there were accusations of treason, denouncements, proclamations of possible prosecutions from officials, probably blowing smoke for public consumption. let me say right i don't advocate going times in the least. i don't think it is treasonous although i don't think it's sense of post-national patriotism is the same as traditional notions of patriotism. and i think we'll get into that although later i started don't think it should be bombed as ann coulter once under. i read the time since i was a kid. i was very proud very early migrate to be published probably in a. i consider the times an important national resource. albeit in a digital. and i confess to being one of those new yorkers who refer to it simply as paper. free internet, i wandered down to the local newsstand to get the next day's edition if i was out of town and couldn't find

of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from illinois. >> mr. chairman, i claim time in opposition. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. i rise in strong opposition to my friend's amendment and this amendment would impose new legislative requirements on the f.a.a.'s ability to propose or issue regulations. mr. costello: many of the proposed requirements are redundant and are already required by existing law in executive orders. for example, the f.a.a.'s already required to consider the cost and benefits of regulations and to base its regulation on scientific and technical information. other requirements such as forcing the f.a.a. to tailor regulations for each industry segment could seriously undermine efforts to achieve one level of safety in aviation and delay important safety improvements. . there were numerous hearings stemming from the february, 2009, flight 3407 tragedy. they did not reveal a pattern of draconian rules imposed by the f.a.a. on the aviation industry but a

sit time we are looking for. >> how much time, two or three times a month, but how much time per visit? >> it might be one hour or three or four hours. it depends on what is available in terms of the volunteer's time right now. but the primary thing that is most important is to be consistent. if you say you are going to be there, make sure you are there. >> the last thing they need is to promise something and not deliver. patrick, how did you get involved? >> i started mentoring in the bay area and i thought, how can i help out in the community. when you speak of children, you say let's help the less fortunate, i thought, how can i take action, especially in the black community. there are tons of kids that are black or latino who need help but there was no one stepping up. this was my chance to take action and step forward. >> do you think you wonder how good you would be? maybe people say i don't know how to talk to a kid. >> my first kid who was in a foster home when i met him, he was 15 and it was hard to relate. a teenager. >> a teenager. although you are young. >> still, it was st

well there are a lot of things going on if you look at the super long time period like since the time of the dinosaurs we've actually been on a cooling trajectory and no one's quite sure why that is that greenhouse gases used to be a lot more abundant than they are now in the last two to three million years it's gotten cool enough now that the polar regions are permanently covered with ice which they didn't used to be and in this new kind of a beginning of an ice house state you could say small changes in the way the earth moves around the sun and relative to the sun actually make natural cycles where you bring slight warming or slight cooling to the key polar areas where the ice sheets began and where they start to melt. and so basically you know all you have to do to make an ice age come and go is that you cool down the summers a little bit in the arctic areas of northern canada let's say and more snow falls in the winter than can melt in the summer so it builds up over time and if you give it enough time you build up a giant ice sheet that flows under its own weight and buries plac

especially in modern times. i was honored, commissioners, to serve as your president for the last two years. i really mean that. when i was asked to become commissioner by the mayor, six years ago, i knew that the department was dysfunctional at the time. one of my objections and most of the commission at that time was getting the ddi. i happen to like that name. i wanted to get the cost to permit plan review inspection services in line. there are still difficulties in this process. we set about finding a new director. we hired someone with very ambitious plans. because the skills it reached out, we touch every department. every neighborhood, every homeowner and the tenant. at that time there were 10,000 inspections per month and at least 600 complaints. he brought in a modern management way of doing business. he made changes. and he upset a lot of people. he also saw the writing on the wall. dbi was running out of money and he left for another opportunity. he did pave the way, somewhat, and as easton bowed out

we're going to have failings from time to time.it doesn't make you a failure unless you choose not to learn the lesson of whatever that failing was. if you learn the lesson, you can fail your way through it. >> but failure can be the error that the third baseman makes, he failed to pick up the ball and a man reached first, as opposed to being a poor kid and the only black one in the neighborhood. that's not a failure. >> but babe ruth once said, every strike gets me closer to the next hr. next home run. that's how i see life. every strike you make gets you closer to the next home run. >> how important to you, then, is god? tavis: supreme. >> you totally believe there's someone watching. tavis: absolutely. i have a whole chapter, the last chapter is called "father knows best." somebody once said that we plan and god laughs. i've had so many plans for my own life that didn't go the way i thought they would go. i've learned over the course of the years that sometimes a dead end is a finish line and sometimes rejection is redirection.

is this the time? >> i think now is the only time.if it does not happen now, i am deeply pessimistic. i will use my last comment to do something i should not do, which is not to wrap up, but to bring up something we have not talked about. there is an indication we will have a national-security debate in this country that we have not seen for a long time. the reason i say that is because i am looking at what i have seen from some republicans that would have been shocking. you have the senators on the bowles-simpson commission talking about reductions in the defense budget that secretary gates called catastrophic. to hear republicans talking about that is not something we have seen before. haley barbour has come out against libya and is questioning opposing what we are doing in afghanistan and is calling for reductions in the defense budget. michele bachmann has come out flatly against what we have done in libya. i am looking at the tea leaves in all of this and say, at some point, we are going to have a debate about national security t

sunny today but windy at times. a brisk chilly morning with a northerly breeze. 67 is always a tough pattern. usually in this pattern that north wind does warm up. others stay in the cooler side. especially toward the south bay. we will go 70 brentwood. 62 alameda. 70s low march began hill. and 50s and 60s close to the coast and upper 60s for the peninsula. sunshine and warmer weather take us into the weekend and into early next week. >>> time is 5:07. during president obama's recent bay area visit some protestors broke into a song during the president's appearance at a fundraiser. you remember that. why a local newspaper is in hot water with the white house because of that video. >>> and one of nine americans killed in afghanistan was from the bay area. what he was doing there. >>> good morning, westbound upper deck bay bridge traffic looks good into san francisco. another traffic and weather update straight ahead. >>> there it is. welcome back to the ktvu channel 2 morning news. you see william and kate making the

there were 54 last time. the democrats said they will not help you. >> we will pass with republican votes. no doubt about it. who said we cannot vote for another cr? they have painted themselves into a corner. we have people today fighting for our liberty and our freedom. we do not want to pay them. we have one week where we are going to cut $12 billion. it is a fundamental bill that will pass with republican votes. if democrats do not want to join us, that is their choice. if the senate continues to not act, that is their choice. but we believe that america should move forward. >> if i could just add, republicans have no interest in shutting down the government. shutting down the government is irresponsible and i think it will end up costing american taxpayers more money than we are already spending. i believe that all the members want to support our troops. we are going to do the responsible thing to more. >> if you have gotten halfway to what you want, why not make a deal that would divert a government shu

it was a long time between the terminations and i felt abandoned after each time. over all, there was a great lack of communication, especially in the second year, when i had all new caseworkers. i think there was a general lack of knowledge on bedbugs, protocol, abatement, low level of compassion, a level of incompetency and inadequacy. sometimes they were even rude. i have since been abandoned by these organizations and the building managers in this past year have tried to set me up for election twice. the first time was for nonpayment of back rent church, which is bs, and two, and to cure the bedbugs, to get a two- week notice. i have gotten through most of it, but i ended up getting seriously depressed. even sewage asat -- suicidal. i even started drinking again. a lot of attention is to be drawn to this issue. everyone needs to know more. about the bedbugs themselves and how to treat them. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. >> we will be speaking as a bloc, but i will introduce myself first. good morning, supervisors. tina chung. in my professional capacity
