Im kelly evans at the new york stock exchange. Im bill griffith. Doesnt look like third times going to be a charm. The financials, which had done so well, bank of america yesterday with a stellar report that pushed it higher. Today, Goldman Sachs and citi disappointed with their earnings and the financials are lagging this market and leading it lower. President dow was down 105 points at the low. Now were doing 68. Thats right. We have goldman down about 2 at last check. Citigroup off about 4 . Some of the regional financials its a little bit more mixed. We have pnc up despite analysts saying this maybe isnt necessarily a performance they can repeat. While some of the others are lower, even though commercial real estate, commercial and industrial loans, there is growth there. And then theres retail. Best buy. Worst buy. Horrible day for best buy shareholders, which well get to coming up in a little while here. Yeah, thats right. The Market Action wont stop. When the closing bell rings
Born one block that way at a bar. It was where chris and i had our first conversation about the project entity human being. Today things are arbitrate different back then there was two of us now theres 1 hundred and 10 of us so we need a Bigger Office today. So why do we need all this space not only for the 2 hundred and 10 people but because we have now 4 million urges on the website and the projects and 16 million unique visits every month that come to get human being.

Its going good for us to be here this is where get human being was created this is the city of innovation and this is where we find some of the best talent here and its an honor to be here and revive this Historic Building to a place we can call home. So with that ill id like to turn it over to my friend and colleague the master said of this space the coordinator of get human being scott. clapping hello everybody can you hear me okay. I just wanted to say a few words about this space and a introduce oursel
For the organization. Thats just simple me thinking. I just want to put that out there because i dont understand how that happens. I understand. Supervisor wiener . Thank you. Im not going to express a view on the side of the board. I think there are boards of 10 or 12 or 14 that just function 15. But i do want to say that some of the issues that we heard today and this is general comment, you dont need to thank you. In terms of that there are outdated bylaws and procedures that should have apparently been updated a long time ago, havent been. We have the situation which has been resolved thanks to a lot of hard work but probably shouldnt have happened in the first place to have significant turnovers of executive directors which is not just recent thing but happened in the past as well.

All of this is to complicated for our employees. And im really interested in the wellness piece. Im sure you meet with other directors but citywide theres a pie that happy people save us money because they dont get sick commissioner scott. I hope as your beginning to work with our outside firms youll bring in advanced pieces so we can get some reaction from both the board as well as from our members and the general public. I dont know if youre going to be testing things out before you put them on the website in a more form way but ill put that to you as part of our planning. I want to thank you for bringing that up. Feeling in fact, i went to a meeting and they have some team members from the standing for the record d school and their whole philosophy is abou
