That is tricking out your home and office with thousand dollars fish. All that and more over the next hours. First lets get headlines from su keenan. Ahead of the widely anticipated jobs report out filedow, fewer americans applications for Unemployment Benefits over the past month and that any time in the last seven years, a sign that the labor market is continuing to bounce back.

In an agreement reached by senate negotiators, help is on the way to veterans hospitals. And you plan now allows the hiring of more doctors and nurses to reduce the long wait for veterans. One senator referred to the problem as a crisis. Much, su keenan. General motors out with details today about its internal investigation into why it took the automaker more than a decade to identify problems with defective ignition switches linked to 13 deaths. The report blames bureaucratic delays and a culture of incompetence. The gm chief executive spoke to employees in michigan about the findings. This report is extremely thorough, brutally tough, and deeply troubling. Those of us who have dedicated our lives to this company, it is enormously painful to see our shortcomings laid out so vividly. As i read the report, i was deeply saddened and disturbed. But this isnt about our feelings and its not about our egos. This is about our responsibility to act with integrity, honor, and be committed to excellence. She ousted 15 employees for their roles in mishandling the recalls. Joining me to discuss the report is sean kane. He joins us on skype from massachusetts. Room mattuto cool miller. To round it out we have jason , r bloomberg automobile columnist. Did sheichigan, why have that and what was the reaction . The mood was like going to the dentist. Everybody knew it was going to be painful but at the end of the day you have to get your teeth cleaned and your fillings taken care of. She had to set the tone that gm is taking it seriously. For thes to use it company to change the culture and the way they do things and fix problems, and the way they build and design cars. Greg sean kane, comment on the topic of safety. Something different, or have they been doing Something Different than the other major automobile makers . In reality, they havent. We have seen these kinds of problems show up time and time again. And beinge new gm transparent. They keep changing that line. Back in february when they did the first recall, they said they were recalling 700,000 cars. When they were outed by a longer at the end of that week, they recalled another 700,000 cars. The culture of transparency seems to be a bit okd as they make their way toward being more transparent. Should start out by saying nobody would have ever considered a cobalt or a pontiac the six or a saturn ion a particularly big car. A good car. They were poorly made and did not get top safety marks. They are a lot different than the products gm is making now. I not sure if the culture has aed, but the product chevy car, silverado or him pal of from today is worlds impala of today is worlds apart from what it was 10 years ago. The cobalt was not a good car. They were working toward a price point. This is the happy meal of automobiles. Like you thought you were buying a volvo 240. To a veryure working low price point, you will see corners cut. That is across all automakers. Jim hagan, was this all about price points or was it something about the and factoring process that has gone askew . She said the report rubes for safety. Trade the report does indicate there was a costcutting culture at that time. 2000 as gm wasn on the road to bankruptcy and every penny counted. The report talks about how there was inevitably going to be some pressure on costs, and points out that the engineer that was responsible for the switch, that position is given a lot more responsibility and overburdened in some ways, according to some of the people we talk to. Cost was definitely an issue, but it gets to the issue that within the gm they approved a switch that they knew did not meet requirements, and then future engineers tried to fix the problem could not put together what the problem was and what the actual ramifications were. The new go forward with the bureaucracy, the legal aspect, there were a lot of delays and a lot of opportunities to fix it but they did not, according to the report. You are referring to the report by the lawyer that gm brought in to investigate the recall situation. Sean kane, can you discuss what steps would need to be put in place to make sure this does not happen again . At theink if you start baseline, what is troubling about the report is this identification of the problem, the seriousness does not get identified because it is focusing on the airbag issue. If you can take a step back, the engineers did not find that when the switch turns off when youre driving it, that was a safety problem. They seem to be complicit with the idea that suddenly when the car shuts off on you, that is ok, that is not a safety problem , and they did not take that seriously enough. They clearly did not listen closely enough to their customers and did not test and a valuator scenario to see how significant that problem really is. Matt, what are the applications for gm currently . These are ongoing investigations. Lawsuits have been filed. Going to continue. Gm said today in a Conference Call that they expect the recall charges to continue and even climb in the second half. Thats not the legal charges that they face. They said that ken feinberg is going to start unveiling his plan to compensate victims in the next few weeks. Congressmen have already said they want to see gm back in front of congress to testify. Youre going to see a lot more. What im unclear about is, and i think sean got at this as well, the report seems so focused narrowly focused on just the airbag issue and just the ignition switch problem. What i dont get is, how can none of these executives really have known . Or dan mary barra ackerson not know . How did the government not know . By the way, the government that czars it was great timing that they got out completely of their shares right before this came to light. Does anyone by that, that the government does happen to have such incredible timing that they didnt own any of it when this 11yearold recall problem finally came to light . I dont understand why the report doesnt focus more on that. If some lawyers were warning thesebout liability from cases in 2011, how did they not know about it . How do you not tell the ceo . The head of their legal team is not gone. A lot of questions. Thank you very much, matt , and iand shawn came want to thank tim higgins join office. Our detroit he took a lamborghini for a ride. The latest exotic ports car, the hurricane. 237,000. That is next. Later, we will take a look at a tropical fish trade. Are selling for as much thousand dollars. From gm to lamborghini. Acan is the latest exotic sports car from the italian automaker. It starts at a price of 237,000. What do you get for all that . A testarper took it for drive. You have a big grin on your face. I assume you had a good time. This is a really exciting car. The supercar world is blowing up these days. When ferrari started out years ago, then lamborghini came along, these were the only supercar makers. Now there is so much competition. These are the cars that are blowing up around the world. I have the feeling the people there are not going to stand for a car that doesnt work. This card does share a lot of the car does share a lot of things with its audi brother. Some of the technologies are backandforth. This is a very grownup car. It looks very cool, its very fast. You can drive around town and not worry about backing into things. Thats because it has a camera, right . Is, theoint of it you gotol lamborghini, a lot of attention, but you might look pretty silly. This car, you can pretty much drive it around every day. Jason,te in your column, that people can read on bloomberg. Com, that it comes in colors that have nothing to do with nature. Lets go through some of the specs if we can. Fourwheeldrive, not , so this is a pure sports car. It is. Runs really high and is situated behind. Screams in your ear behind you. Ferrari just released its convertible in california which is its first turbo in a long time. Were going to see a lot more of these. Is going to stay with this engine for a while, which is very cool. You mentioned also in your report that you made a little mistake driving this on the track, but it corrected for you. Tell us about that. I was driving it hard. Give me numbers. You looking at the speedometer, youre looking at the wrong place. It corners. 120 miles an hour into big corner, breaking hard, at 1. I just got it wrong. Things can happen. Youre probably not going to get killed, but you can hurt the car. All the modern electronics are so good that it breaks the inside wheel so that it pulls you back, it knows where you want to be going. The electronics are better than you are as a driver. Im a very slow driver on a a passenger said i should pass him. I said i hope he can see me. If an orange lamborghini pulls up behind you and you dont notice it, youre probably not the most attuned driver in the world. Do you want one . I dont know if i want one, i respect one. Predecessor wasnt a great car. You took it out and it didnt do a great job. In Auto Industry lingo, it is a lambo, its not a lamborghini. Well done. I will go for a ride with you, jason harper. Coming up, i will take a closer look at why polar diamonds are growing in popularity. We have a thirdgeneration jeweler to tell us more, that is next. This is taking stock on bloomberg. I am pimm fox. We look at a Small Company that is making it big. E look at arrow site its chief executive tells us how he went from to expanding into numerous industries. I realize that businesses might benefit from putting cameras into the work place in the same way that professional sports teams use video to prepare for a sporting event. We built up a lot of credibility in the meat industry. The Processing Plant has significant concerns about sanitation to prevent e. Coli. The next area we chose was. My dad is a physician up in boston. He said it is really important, we need to bring this into the health care industry, and nobody would even look at a pilot. Privacy was a major concern. Identify not just patients but workers. Patienttally we take and employee privacy completely off the table. We thought about it, and if you just filed down the resolution of the entire image. Low and behold, even with a lower resolution, where you cannot make out anybodys face are what theyre doing, you can see extremely important safety protocols they have to follow to prevent surgical infections. All the work we have been doing in health care has led to us now having about 12 companies that are multibilliondollar clients. We have hopes that our services will be brought into retail, paper plants, schools, the opportunities are profound and we are really excited about where he goes next. Joining me now live here in aronson. Is adam you mentioned expanding across numerous industries. Lets talk about a recent deal you have done with detroit. With deloitte. We are focused on risk and efficiency improvement. If you look at what the lloyd does, they aree the largest professional Services Company in the world, focused in many cases on risk and efficiencies. Taking the work we have done with auditing in partnering with them, they have 200,000 people in over 150 countries serving dozens of industries, so its an enormous opportunity to expand our service. Tell us a little bit about the installation of a service like this. There must be some minimums that are necessary to meet terms of how many cameras, what kind of system and task youre going to be able to focus on. I will give you very concrete sample, something that is the most prolific use of our technology in the operating room. Partnered with a Health System right here in new york, a large anesthesia provider. A few years ago they started Pioneering Technology in the operating room to improve safety and efficiency. So there were some challenges, privacy, you had to put cameras in on patients, so we lower the resolution so we avoided any privacy issues. Then we had to figure out what to monitor for. Working with our partners at the hospital in their anesthesia group, they define things like leaving retained objects inside patients after surgery, avoiding surgical infections. At the same time, can you use Technology Like this to provide alerts to reduce turnover times between patients. The results were profound. They have improved their turner turnover time by 20 . Are you growing . What kind of hiring and future growth plans do you have . We have been growing quite rapidly. Average growth rate over five years is about 40 a year. Lloyd tocompany like d partner with us, we need to establish the efficacy of the platform, we needed a bunch of customers. 10had to get over multimillion dollar customers to get a company like deloitte to really look at us. Adam aronson joining us. Coming up, ask games in austin. Games in austin. This is taking stock on bloomberg. I am pimm fox. Thrills and spills are the chief requirement for april professional skateboarding career. Bob burnquist knows it all too well. Over the last two decades he has but heecord 20 metals has also broken 32 bones. He is a competitor in this mes which kick off today in austin texas. I asked him about catching air. Thats a lot of Amazing Things happen. It brings out the best in the guys that are there, whatever sport you are in when you are competing. You have guys practicing certain moves just kind of, maybe if i can pull it off, and maybe it becomes a reality. When it all, you really got to put it down. It turns into a different mindset. What moves are you going to be looking for specifically . Because i just like skateboarding every day. Most of the guys i compete with i skate with in my backyard. Something that i look forward to seeing people believing in something and then landing it. You just get inspiration from everyone. Event,ng to focus on my obviously, but i enjoy watching everyone else. Tell us about the 900. Tell us about young skaters who might be creeping up behind you. Paxton 900 is just one trick. A lot of spins and then you land. In a way its somewhat predictable, so i would rather be unpredictable and try Something Different and go a different route. Obviously if everyone is doing 900 like bradshaw, for example. He tried to be the first a nine, butd to do he didnt do it, he did 810. He was pretty amazing. Talk about the ramp you put together in your backyard. If we were to go and take a picture, what would it look like . Tell us about how you made it all happen. It was all just a dream. Dreamland. Is called its a collection of dreams throughout the years. Ive always wanted to have a backyard ramp. Inad a frustrated attempt sao paulo when i tried to build a ramp. We had to tear it down. That was my frustrated attempt at starting a part in my house. When i became professional and moved to california, i started building this ramp. I built a loop and a corkscrew, brought in a full type thomas and i thought that was great. Then the big ramp came into play. Describe the mega ramp for people that have never seen it. Its like one of those big ski jumps. I remember seeing that when i was really young. The guys would just live forever in that position. We have a landing and at the end, we have a big quarter pipe. It is a ramp like you finish off your speed with big air. That is the mega ramp in a nutshell. At my house i have rails and a side hip. I have all these different obstacles. Ofa ramp basically is a lot ramps that are really big. Would you also have a videogame like tony hawk . Obviously it is fun. I was in up to the eighth game. It is just fine. I dont have much time for video games these days, but its a blast. Do you have time for business at all . I have people in place for that so i can go skate. I make sure i handle it and make the right decisions and steer the boat in the right direction. These is the use of drones and unmanned vehicles changing the liberal perspective that people have on watching this stuff . It does. The perspective is good. I dont really like having , but we do ito me at my house with helicopters. I have a guy that put the helicopter on their and flies around. Get,erspective that we even from the air or close by with the attached cameras, its something we can bring people into what we do, which is something we havent been able to do, so its great. The attached cameras like the gopro camera. Tol us what you expect accomplish this weekend. What events are you in, and when can we see you . Vert andlly i was in the mega ramp, which is big air. I will probably focus on the big air. I dont know, i expect to just come out alive, i just want to survive this one and try not to be as hurt and feel good this year. Just a couple of things here and there. To breezet try through this and land what i came here to do. Onworld cup soccer kicks off june 12. Croatia against brazil. Do you have any words of encouragement for the Brazilian Team . That is an Amazing Group of people. From what we saw at the confederations cup, if they keep that dance going, it should be a good thing. The world cup is a hold other stage in brazil. I have skated several events, High Pressure in brazil where theyone is expecting brazilians to do good, so there is definitely pressure there. To make sure brazil does their game, and im looking forward to the world cup, for sure. There is also a lot of protest having to do with the infrastructure, the stadium, the spendings and disparity. What has been your reaction to all this . To have the world cup down there, but what happens is we have a culture of political money kind of going in these different directions. Andgo to build a stadium all of a sudden it is 700 million. Those kind of things get to brazilians. They love soccer and the world cup, but we need hospitals and infrastructure. That is a fair game in the protests. There is a pretty good economic gap and socially you have people that dont have anything. Most people wont be able to go and watch the soccer games. As a whole, brazil get behind their team, but most of the youests are all about, cant just throw soccer at us and have us forget the problems we have around us. My thanks to professional skateboarder bob burnquist. From skateboards to soundboards, more than 100,000 people are concerts attake in randalls island, the Fourth Annual governors ball. Isd russell tom russell running the event. Tom russell, how did you get into this concert business . I was a Tulane University student down in new orleans and ran out of money going to so many concerts. I went to the company that was putting on all these concerts and begged them for an internship. I eventually convinced him to hire me and learn as much as i could. Started mye off and own thing. Tom, describe the details of hammy people, how many musical acts and all the things people can see at the governors ball. We have 40,000 people per day. We have 66 acts on four stages. The music goes from 12 p. M. Until 11 p. M. And we have rock ,n roll, folk, indie electronic, hiphop, and many more. There is a disco where you can dance to djs. It is really a wild time. What about the infrastructure necessary to put on Something Like this . Inas you mentioned, we bring for massive stages for the 66 bands to perform on. We bring in hundreds of tents. Equipment000 in power a kind of fencing and barricades, a ton of police. Flooring, matting, airconditioning. Its kind of like building a small city in a park in new york. Lets say you did very well on wall street for a week and to spend on a package for the governors ball. What would you get . Program a super vip where you can have an artist passed that allows you to get on the front of to house sound board. Its really the best view and best sound you can get at the show. It also gets you backstage to areas where there is free food and beverage and lots of comfortable seating and shade. Tom russell, what about the competition . Are there enough members of the audience to go around, whether it is live nation or the other festivals around the country . Is veryusic industry cutthroat, especially the live music in history. Build ouren able to business gradually each year. We are pretty friendly with all of our competitors. We keep a friendly rapport with them but at the same time, were very aggressive at securing permits and booking bands to get ahead of everyone. Thank you very much, tom russell, the founder of founders entertainment. Coming up i will speak with an executive about fish and white is the mostnemo popular fish to own for hobbyists. Liveaquaria is the Largest Online place to purchase live fish. We are talking about exotic sharks,re fish such as stingrays and some fish that sell for as much as 5,000. Im joined by director kevin kohen who said of his first aquarium at age 13. You have been doing this a long time, kevin. My parents were very supportive. I always had a fascination with aquariums and fish. It grew into an obsession. When i was 16, i had 21 tanks in my parents a smit. In my parents basement. Didnt anybody say kevin, you need to think about this, this is leading some plays you dont know . Did you know this was going to be your life . Not at first, but i went on to work in a pet store, graduated from college and went on to become a wholesaler for marine and freshwater fish. Then i started my website in the year 2000. Youre based in wisconsin. You dont necessarily think wisconsin is a place where you would raise fish, but that is what you do. There is a revolution going on in the world of tropical fish. Explain what is happening. Our Parent Company has the largest catalog and Ecommerce Company for a full lineup that supplies. Dr. Foster and dr. Marty smith are the owners of the company and they are very supportive. We grow and propagate live coral in a captive environment and offer them in the aquarium trade to consumers across the country. There is also captive breeding of the fish themselves. Why do you do that . It is great in the Marine Aquarium trade because it reduces some of the pressures put on the wild stock out and coral reefs around the world. Any aquaculture companies, one aquaculturest. Ompanies for clowns fish, nemo Everybody Loves a clown fish. Great personality, the way they swim, they are very hardy fish and they dont grow very large. They make a great fish for any demographic. What about the cost of these things . Some can cost as much as 5,000. We sell many types of fish. We bring in fish from all over the world and we will condition and quarantines them in our facility, take photographs of the actual fish and offer them for sale on our website. The angel fish is fish that was first discovered in 1993 by dr. Richard pyle. We were fortunate enough to obtain one of these fish for sale in the marketplace and it sold immediately to a collector of exotic fish. Also sharks are finding free footlong sharks. Tell us about that. Most sharks grow too long for a captive environment like an aquarium. We do offer a smaller species and they make an interesting fish, especially because they are bottom dwelling fish and they can actually walk with their pectoral fins. How much does it cost to get started . For a small, all in one style a terry aquarium, its much more affordable than it was in years past. Can set up one of the smaller, saltwater tanks with lighting and filtration and everything else. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Kevin kohen is the director of liveaquaria. We will take a look at it early Million Dollars colorful diamond. Well find out why they are flying off the shelves, next. This is taking stock on bloomberg. I am pimm fox. The scarselli family has been over three generations in the diamond industry. It is moving to colorful, fancy diamonds and its not the place where you buy a tiny one carat ring but rather a 90 caret rock. The price of such a ring might be around 18 million. Thank you very much for being here. Lets start off with a little bit of the history of the family and how you got into the jewelry trade. First of all, thank you for having me. We are thirdgeneration company here in the united states. My parents came in 1978 in the business started from my grandfather. We have been here for about 30 years. What makes something so to bel that it qualifies part of the scarselli experience . There are a lot of different kinds of diamonds and different cuts. What makes them special . Are dividedones into segments. Taller diamonds and colorless diamonds. The colorless diamonds are a larger segment of the diamond industry. In the fancy colors, you have basically. 01 that make it to spectrum of investmentgrade diamonds. You brought some of these specimens with you. Start off by telling us about the Yellow Diamonds. What makes these diamonds special, obviously the size and color. This one is 90 carats. Its a little bit more than 90 carats. This diamond is very rare. Its the only diamond certified by the American Gemological Institute for this size and shape. It makes it an extremely rare and collectible piece. A similar diamond was sold about for 16 million. You brought another Yellow Diamond as well. A i brought a round diamond, little bit more than 50 carats. Basically in the fancy color realm you want to cut diamonds a fancy shape. You dont want to have a round diamond. The round shape is for colorless diamonds. That is the best shape to enhance the colorless diamond. Whereas for fancy colors, you want to have fancy shapes. What makes it very rare is it is difficult to find such a large diamond as a round stone. It is an incredible diamond. It should be very interesting for a collector. You also brought a necklace. Explain a little bit about this. This necklace is very special. Worth of fancys blue diamonds, which is extremely rare. Probably one of the most rare diamonds that there are. A come from generally africa or australia. What makes it very difficult again, most of them are round. They are matching, and the color is just difficult to find in the market. What makes this so special is that you have such an incredible amount of value in such a small piece. I want to thank you very much. A partner at scarselli diamonds. Thanks for taking stock.
