Are going, i have been so but now they have competitors who offer even better products in some cases. they will go into the at&t store, the horizon store and poke around a little bit becausel) years and its always been a joke that when a new iphone comes out in your starts getting glitchy and the battery starts going down and the phone stops working properly, its been a joke and almost a conspiracy theory but now we know its actually happening. it does start to erode some of that brand loyalty. ...

Function of what falls from the sky. its also the impervious surfaces, how we are effectively removing water from an engineering standpoint. were seen saturated soil in the region, rivers are responding in the basic water cycle, so this water has nowhere to go. its still raining. its going to rain. we could be talking about rain in this region through wednesday, perhaps through next week. it doesnt have a chance. the natural water cycle doesnt have a chance to recover. ive been worried about the...

Sit on these pedestals that slide black and forth. to the average person they might not look that complicated, but from an engineering standpoint, theyre extremely complicated because they really have to stand up to a lot of loads. you have to think about putting a 250 pound guy in that seat and then crashing it. it has to be able to slide back and forth. so one of the engineers said if you took all the plastic off this pedestal. it would look like something no octopus should ever have to billio...

They actually sit on these pedestals that slide back and forth. and to the arch person they might not look that complicated but from an engineering standpoint, theyre extroomly complicated because they really have to stand up to a lot of loa loa loads. you have to think about putting a 250-pound guy in that seat and crash it. you have to be able to slide back and forth. one of engineers said if you took all the plastic off this pedestal, it would look like something no octopus should ever have t...

>> well get into that, but well stick on the science for a minute. it was 3.4 degrees. >> 3.6. >> being the tipping point. when you look at this report and you look at that tipping point number, do you think what this report is recommending is the solution to avoid hitting that number? >> these are policy questions. but from an engineering standpoint, which is what we need is energy storage. by that expression i mean bat ris. we need a better battery of some kind. to do that we would invest and ...

>> you dont work for gm, but it seems unusual to you. you did a little research. you couldnt find that being done for other parts. even for gm, it made them difficult to calculate how many vehicles to recall. all this is true, yes? >> correct. i think thats whats continued to expand the number of cars being recalled for this issue. >> lets get to speculation here, but within your realm of expertise. why do you think you would change a part because you learned about that so you change it and not ...

Having their b, c, d plans in place. i know it was stressful for many. the dev stays so severe ungeologist says it would be a miracle if the official toll is less than 10,000. but engineers are citing japans strong building codes. infrastructure and city planning to keep houses away from the shore as reasons why the loss of human life isnt greater. all of this begging the question, how would the u.s. is fare in a similar disaster? with american infrastructure suffering from structural deficienci...

>> you know, a subsurface well failure, the well was designed to take that load when it was originally drilled, and if it does fail, it could fail very deep. the fluids would never reach the surface in that case. >> so all in all, this is just pure positive news coming out of the gulf this morning. >> i really think so. the fact that theyve got a mechanically engaged seal thats basically a flange instead of a slip-on friction seal, if you will, thats a great improvement. >> darryl, a lot of peop...

With a spill like this before, have they? >> no, we havent had anything as significant as this. >> and this dome that were talking about, this 74-ton dome that they would put down, they have never done that before, have they in. >> no, thats not entirely true. the dome concept has been used before, almost 30 years ago before my time. >> okay. but from an engineering standpoint, they really are winging it right now. this is new territory. >> the idea with the dome is its a band-aid. its trying to...

Spill of this magnitude. thats from an engineering standpoint. so at that point, were talking about no seafood, no -- we got crab, we got shrimp. we are 70% of the nations seafood crop comes from the gulf of mexico. >> mr. denmark, people who are looking around the country and they are watching this and they may not realize the shrimp they have in some instances, they have crawfish or catfish or oysters or whatever, which i eat weekly, thats all going to be affected. you are -- you probably wont...
