Die of Heart Disease and 574,000 byte of cancer died of cancer. What isnt known and what the function of put the function of the hearing is about and i hope to do my best with the help of fellow senators and members of the panel is to start focusing attention on the third leading cause of death in the United States of america. And that will come as a great surprise to most people and the third leading cause of death in this country has to do with preventable medical errors in hospitals.

That is more than a thousand eight each day. They die from preventable mistakes outside of the hospitals such as misdiagnosis or injury and medication.

Point i have no flyer yet. Very soon a flyer will come to you. Second thing i want to say, if they have the show, the new buses come and i am wondering. I dont know if it good or not, but you discussed it in a meeting about this to see if they show this in front of the city hall and the next time you have a meeting talk about people think about the bus and what they think do they like it or not like it and come down and check it out and then you guys, we will come back and talk about it on tv live and tell them what you guys think about it and all you guys talk about it and we will talk about it to see if its good or not good.

Here we are at the embarcadero. We are standing at one of locations for the street artists. Can you tell me about this particular location the program . This location is very significant. This was the very first and only location granted by the board of supervisors for the street artist when the Program Began in 1972. How does a person become a street artist . There are two major tenants. You must make the work yourself and you must sell the work yourself. A street artist, the license, then submitting the work to a committee of artists. This committee actually watches them make the work in front of them so that we can verify that it is all their own work. What happened during the holiday to make this an exciting location .

You might get as many as 150 street artists to show up for 50 spaces.

They are taking a lot of money out of the wallets of the people in those areas and those are same areas where broadband is expensive so as people pay more for broadcast content and cable channel content, they have less available to purchase broadband. This is a problem thats real. And existing right now. It gives me a chance to pass the solution over to chairman powell.

This is why i had no problem understanding a
