the speed and the curve is significant. when you multiply the number of people that go through the curve, by the time lost because of that track wear, you're talking about very significant losses and people capital to the city. and, you know, taking away from people spending time with their families and other important things. so, cheryl bringtionctionv man and i have a chance to walk the tracks with you during the project. you stayed up late, even gave me a ride home which i appreciated. and you know, we saw the hard work from your crew and the people working in nonrevenue hours to do this. and, so, i'll say on the, you know, curve replacement, kudos and thank you for getting it done. on the atcs wire, you know, when mr. haley first came into this and we kept having these disturbed blocks and disturbed blocks and we actually had a hearing on this, and it came out that it was this wire getting pinched by sander hoses and so forth and so on. i remember, john, i asked you, i said can we wrap this thing in cryptonite? the mark

and if you look at the a apex of these streets and how they're forced to be curved, that's why there is no building because of the point of construction. while i think there are great structures up there, obviously i think it was the same developer who did all of them at one time and probably wasn't thinking about spending any extra on building curved spaces. so, that's part of why they ended up looking like little pizza pies. i think this is probably the largest one, maybe the only sort of buildable one. looks like there's maybe one that's maybe nearby, but this is clearly if you're going to do something, this is the one. i'm impressed with the architecture and the consideration to maintain the stairs. i think it probably makes it a better attraction if the stairs were there when completed than they are now and a safer element. commissioner antonini. >> in terms of open space, i mean, not going back to the distant past, but telegraph and russian hills were very densely built, but most people feel they're quite attractive and appropriate places to live and we were able to capture the

jeremy down shifts around a hair pin curve and then accelerates. this section of the course is called devil's playground. it's about to live up to its ominous name. jeremy drives 80 miles an hour into the next turn. he steers to the left but his wheels aren't grabbing. they never will. >> the front end basically slips out. it's one of the most frightening things i've experienced in my life. i saw, we've got a lot of mountain to go down. this is going to be bad. >> i'm thinking oh, my god, this is it. he's gone. there's not going to be anything left. i fell down and i cried. >> his car disintegrates as it hits the ground. >> i remember the very first impact, my left hand actually swung out and struck the roll cage almost as if i'd punched it. it was just a scary roller coaster ride. >> the hood and car doors are obliterated as jeremy's car bounces down this deep rock field. >> i felt the seat actually physically rise up like somebody had hit me. it was horrific. >> jeremy never loses consciousness during the 19 seconds his race car tumbles down the

, the curve is a natural solution. i once wrote a poem about the curve. the curb i find in the mountains of my country, in this tenuousness of the rivers, in the waves of the ocean, on the body of the beloved women. >> after the war, he elaborated with another architect on the united nations building in new york. it made niemeyer's mainame. in 1996 he received -- in 1956 he received the commission of a lifetime. he was asked to design the capitol building in brazil. the buildings he produced and became instant icons and an inspiration to the next generation of architects. >> he was an influence on my becoming an architect so long ago. and he was just incredibly creative until the end. his passion was architecture, but his passion was life. that is why he lived so long. >> the 1964 military coup in brazil led to the openly communist niemeyer leading to live in paris. he returned some years later and ensure the before his 90th birthday produced this. the museum of contemporary art. a spectacular masterpiece. oscar niemey

. >> we do have a lot to talk about at hospital curve. it's just kind of hard to see and a lot of lane changes. if we take a look at our maps we can show you some of thics accidents here. first one is on 280 northbound. and then we do have some flooding here 101 northbound. this is the incident on i'm talking about here. we have the center lane blocked here. 101 southbound at hospital curve due to a stalled car that also hit the center divider. now it's out of service and all of these cars have sort of backed up as a result. it's pretty much a nightmare if you have to go 101 southbound maybe cut across the city or try a different route. all right right now we will take a live look at the san mateo bridge. you can see traffic flowing nicely in both directions. and 880 we have a lot more folks on the roadways. 6:18 here is steve. >>> i think our heaviest rain is over san francisco. it's beginning to pick up. rain rates approaching moderate to heavy. some areas you saw no rain at all. the system is sliding east and south. north bay things ha

>> we may be behind the curve on some of the disclosure of information, but we're ahead of the curve on well construction. >> reporter: california state law currently requires strict monitoring, reporting and regulating any oil well construction. but it doesn't require the same for fracking. not even a permit. fracking is a technique that has raised some serious health concerns in communities all over the country. where it's used to mine natural gas. in some communities, drinking water has even caught fire from the high levels of fracking chemicals that have seeped into it. last year, the oil and gas industry here in california voluntarily reported 628 fracking wells statewide. >> we don't know exactly how much liquid water is being used. we don't know the types of chemicals that are being mixed in the water. you don't know any of that other than what may be told to you voluntarily. >> that is correct. we don't know exactly how many wells. >> that is correct. >> reporter: he expects that to all change now as his office finally has begun the process of adopting new rules to regulate a

in the beginning with just the learning curve of putting the shafts in but we are caught up and projecting a finish on time. but, it is a quality control, remains in effect on the butress there is coring for checking the structure and that is just the general shot of put ng a rebar cage and the awss work. is the only utility work going on now and as you know we had a little extra activity around halloween and i thought that i would show the photos of the world series, and we are very proud of the giants and some of the players are basically right outside of the job. the budget remains consistent, with the budget, on the construction size. and with the release packages to date. as i said before, a little over 550 craft hours completed and running over 60 percent on the small business or local labor, i am sorry the bay area labor. and here is the break down, san francisco, continues to contribute about 20 percent of that and the other county surrounding the projects. and these are just a list of the trades. this is a body count of actual any craft's people that have worked on the project sin

with the knuckle curve you're still trying to manipulate the spin to get the break that you want. but the knuckleball you're taking it off in hopes that the chaos of the movement of the pitch is going to be enough to upset their timing and rhythm of the hitter. >> jon: and you throw it ten to 15 miles an hour harder than anybody else has thrown it. you're throwing in the 80s, yes? there are major league pitchers throwing their regular stuff in the 80s, you're throwing knuckleballs in the -- is that what makes yours so difficult on these hitters? >> most guys throwing in the 80s aren't throwing very long, unfortunately. that's why i became a knuckleballer because i had -- my conventional repertoire had depleted to the point where if i was going to stay a big-leaguer i had to come up with a weapon i could get guys out with. the knuckleball was my ticket. >> jon: you don't have like -- you're missing ligaments in your elbow and you don't have -- there's no bone there, it's just -- you just flop it around? something going on in there -- >> i'm plastic man. i can -- i have've got no li

>> well, a couple of quick moves because that the curve steepened. and, in fact, bond investors exited the market rather aggressively after a long holding period. so i think that overall, ta kind of structure will work well in 2013. but in the near term, the initial reaction on that change basis looks like they don't like it, which was just about everything was sold. i would say that that is probably a short-term response just more like an event-driven thing than any real rejection of the policy that the fed is trying to enact. >> and, kevin, one of the big questions for this round of qe going into next year is going to be what response to do we see? 1.68% is the current level. during the last couple of rounds of qe, we saw yields back up a little bit because growth hopes will revive. do you expect that this time around? >> well, i think this could be the big event, actually, because the one thing that i would say is that the fed is now going normal. so after several years of concentrationing on the real rate, we're going to talk about normal. nomina

wall is actually meant to recall the racing history of ally and so we call it is roadway curve and that allows us to lighten up the building and make it less monolithic and you will see it again here, and then finally here and then it activates the street and the idea was to actually create some activity within the -- to push the cars towards the street so it become a more urban retail experience and with that, i'm available for questions if you need me thank you for your time. >>> thank you. >> thank you commissioners-and i just want to go over additional outreach issues and we have held three meetings on the probability and it was a mainly a meeting to reach out to the neighbor neighborhood and get input early on and andy mentioned that he has been a member of the neighborhood for many many years and wanted to continue that outreach and be involved with the neighborhood and taking in that input and he has given out his personal cell phone number and he is the project sponsor on the front line ready to response respond and take input from neighbors and in response to community meeting

as fannie and freddie moved out the risk curve, they had a choice. they moved out the risk curve, i showed you what fha did, the private sector moved out also. so to say that fannie ended up with the best and the other ended up with the worst is saying an obvious. of course they did. not only did they have all the prime, but they got the best of the worst. so leave it at that. >> thank you. this'll be our last question over here. the microphone's there. okay, thank you. >> john henry, drystone capital. does anyone, do any of you or does anyone have a detailed plan on how to put fannie mae and freddie mac into runoff? how do you take a $5 trillion enterprise and put it in discomet canned operations -- discontinued operations over a time period that, you know, would be politically acceptable in terms of disruption? >> we'll let bob start on that, but afterwards if you want to catch me, we can talk about in informally, and i'll share a few ideas with you. >> i certainly don't have a plan. i think that alex and ed do have suggestions and very interesting
