Wyoming. In 1954, when i was 13 years old about to go into the eighth grade, my dad moved the family to wyoming. He had a choice between wyoming or montana and it was a good day because lynn and i grew up together. I first took her out when she was 16 years old. We will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, august. [laughter] [applause] if dad had picked montana and wyoming, of course i would of never married lynn. Nixon invented before, sponsored by the Nixon Library when i had other books to write, to publish. And now we wanted to have an opportunity for lynne to present yours. Its a superb book about our nations fourth president , and the plan is i will ask your questions and she will respond.

And that was what prompted my direction to say we are going to overhaul the standard performance contract for Medical Center direct recent visitor directors because we are not going to have a contract with their result is aligned with the patient outcome. I think is going to take some of those kinds of structural changes as well to ensure we get people focused. The last thing i would say is this. You know, we are so focused on wait times. As we think about how we teach timeliness of that is in the future, the centerpiece of that is a much more robust focus on patient satisfaction. I think that helps us resent her back on the veteran we are serving in notley cannot wait times in the 700 other metrics that weve got people. Those types of responses should be the driving force to whether someone gets a bonus or how they are compensated. Yes. The spec or general reply to us at it is led to more layers of administrative aspect rather than actual care and that really is a concern. I had a mee
Claudine wong. Take a look. A cloudy, foggy San Francisco. You can see weve got plenty of gray out there. Once again, well spread and inland. As we get into the second part of the morning, the clouds will burn back, you can see along into the coast, east and north bay, most of us are waking up with partly to mostly cloudy conditions. The winds are on shore through fairfield, weve got 18mile per hour gusting to 30. Into the afternoon, temperatures will rebound once again. We should be very similar to where we were yesterday. Some of us a tad bit warmer, but all in all, little change in the forecast for today. 59 in concord, 51 in napa, livermore, 59, we have 58 in San Francisco, and Half Moon Bay this morning holding on to 57.
