recreation park department and the uptown parking corporation. it is required because, as you know, the mta redeemed the outstanding revenue bonds on four of our nonprofits. and as part of that redeeming that the prior leases were no longer effective. so we have to enter into a new lease or as two of the garages have chosen is enter into an advisory capacity, not a lease. out of the four nonprofits, two of the nonprofits will no longer continue to have a lease structure but uptown, which includes center stockton managed by the mta and union square will continue to have a lease. japan center, which did not have outstanding debt also wanted to continue a lease. so this amendment before you gives us 180-day window to come back to you with a new negotiated lease without the bond debt service but bond issues associated with that new lease. we be back before you along with recreation park department in 180 days from the board of supervisors approval for you to approve a new lease with uptown corporation as well as japan center. so i will be happy to an

at the last minute, they decided to have the uptown. they even had a car, the host committee, a nascar stock car and asked small donors to send and $5 or more and to get their name stenciled on the car. it was a nice car, but i have not seen it since. i think the effort to woo the nascar voter is probably not one to come to fruition as much as hoped. it tends to go republican. although, democrats are talking about how rich mitt romney is and trying to make him seem out of touch with the working class people of this state and other states, so there could be some competition. host: what are you personally looking forward to this week? guest: there are 15,000 allegedly press people in town, so i'm try to find something that nobody else is write-in, which is difficult. but i am going to be looking at how the city handles this thing. i will spend some time with hopefully the head of the democratic national campaign convention committee, spent some time with dr. dan murray, in charge of the host committee. but i would also like to spend some

a pile moisture across north carolina and south carolina including uptown where you are right now. expected to start to shift to the east as we get into thursday. however, some of the lingering moisture will be trapped at surface. i will show you an inhouse computer model we have, on thursday afternoon at 2:00, the area where you are is marked, and you can see potential for shower activity. later in the afternoon, the chances diminish and by 6:00, we are looking at 30 percent or 20 percent chance of coverage of showers or thunderstorms across our area. it is really not going to be a big issue. of course, today we are looking at big thunderstorms. by the time 8:00 or 9:00 rolls around a lot of the folk going through the check point at the stadium, i do believe it is only 20 percent chance of storms, the best way of the entire democratic national convention could be as president obama is finishing the speech to the nation. >>shepard: that is not good news. it does not need to rain. it sounds like they are landing aircraft this this thick -- thing in my ear. sometimes air traffic cont

the big march was yesterday when about 800 protesters, activists walked through the uptown area past corporate headquarters, past duke energy, bank of america. they stopped at those locations to hold specific rallies, complaining about the policies of those companies. the protest organizers predicted they would have thousands of protesters, but the police say they only got about 800. the mark was completely peaceful. only two arrests for minor charges, and there seemed to be a good relationship between the police officers and the protesters. the police officers may have actually outnumbered the protesters. there are a lot of officers here from the local, state and federal level. they have a command center set up with screens where they can watch everything, helicopters in the side. they're keep a close eye, tries to anticipate problems. the biggest concern is some vile president activists could mix in with the others. there's no evidence of that happening. right now it's very peaceful, and doesn't look like it will affect the convention at all. >> mark potter, thanks so much. >>> bot
