Reporter thats what upsets riders. Theres not enough room for them on the train. If i have enough sense not to get on there myself, whats wrong with them . Not going to be a lot of room. People are going to get angry. Reporter this bike rider admits he gets looks from other commuters. Same guy. Reporter if you are pushing in having to ask people to move out of the way its probably too crowded to bring your bike on. Reporter most riders do the right thing. Many wait for the next train. It stinks in the morning but you have to commute. Reporter bart will keep tweaking the rules but bikes on the system are here to stay. Bart is adding for bike racks in stations. They are making them more visible. They are also adding bike lockers. The goal is to make them more comfortable leaving the bikes at the stations to free up room on the trains. Why wont bart make a bike only car . Reporter right. Like caltrain does except those stops are longer. Bart only stops for 20 seconds. Plus the way the system works, it would not work because the workers, they constantly mix and match the trains throughout the day. Theres no way to consistently have that bikeonly train be the last one, for instance. Right. All right, ryan. Thank you. It was the most hotly anticipated tech ipo since facebook. Shares of twitter soared on today the first day of trading. Allen martin is here with how the stock market debuts of these two social media sites compare. Reporter the chief operating officer of the New York Stock Exchange called it a giant poker game as traders kind of set the opening price for twitter. But once trading was under way, the banker who led the ipo sent a oneword tweet. Whew heres part of the reason y the major indices lost big. The dow down 153. S p lost 23. The nasdaq 74. 5. With all of that negative, pretty easy to see why twitter was a shining star. [ bell ] reporter yes, the investing world is all atwitter about twitter but should you . Financial planner bob goldman doesnt think so. I think you should look at this kind of investing as investortainment. Reporter whether its twitter, gold bars or comic books, he says they are all interesting to watch but dont sink a significant portion of your assets in it. Any new company is a risk. Any new tech company is probably a double risk. Reporter but many call todays rollout of twitter the antifacebook ipo. Twitter started the day priced at 26 a share. It was up 73 to close just below 45. Facebook hit the market last year at 38 a share. Eventually it dropped to 17. Kcbs radios financial reporter jason brooks says there were a number of reasons for facebooks freefall. It was a disaster for the company. It started at 38 and fell short of that and beset by a number of problems. First, the nasdaq had some technical glitches that hampered the ipo and the stock getting out there. Reporter he said there seemed to be more investor uncertainty about facebook. This big social media firm with a high valuation, that really wasnt making much money. It had a lot to prove. Those two factors really dogged facebook. Reporter so while twitter did a lot of things better than facebook, bob goldman also sees a twitter attraction and why people want to be part of it. In fact, we all are part of it because we have so many electronic devices, so, you know, we feel more comfortable with that. Its a lot more exciting with the birth of a new hightech company than might be with the birth of a new salad dressing. Reporter certainly. Well, important to note, neither facebook nor twitter have made any money at the time of the respective stock offerings but raising about 31 billion today not only makes twitter owners and employees rich it puts pressure on them to turn a profit soon. Yeah. Everybody wants to get in on the ground floor. Google is a great example. Apple same thing. There is a lot of pressure for the Stock Exchange as well. There was. That was kind of interesting. The nyse, the new york exchange, did not want to suffer the same consequences the nasdaq did when it got crushed by all those facebook orders. So the New York Stock Exchange actually practiced. They had a trial ipo back on saturday in october to test the system and i would say it passed with flying colors. Somebody tested their website. Yeah. It worked. Not the government. Right.

Mount diablo is a very rich biodiverse place in the first place. This is the heart of mount diablo, the most important resource property left in contra costa county. Reporter this property is also a biological treasure trove. Theres 730 species of plants and animals, 30 rare or endangered.

You know, they have been telling me ken that they walk by these Construction Projects and there are many of them here on campus projects that cost millions on the one hand and then be told theres not enough money for teachers and students it didnt make sense but apparently it does make sense also to the administration.

Conventional wisdom is that artificial transfat oil is what makes donut so light and good. They are transfatfree. Reporter the thing about bobs donuts, Everybody Loves bobs donuts and bobs donuts arent made with transfat oils. They are made with palm oil. Mmm in 2008, california banned transfat oils. Reporter going to palm oil a healthier alternative hasnt hurt the taste nor popularity of bobs. I didnt know that. I dont care. [ laughter ] i dont care about the whole health thing. Reporter they taste so good. There is no nutrition to transfats. Reporter because of voluntary restrictions and legislation, including a ban in new york city in 2007, the fda says americans use 80 less transfats today than a decade ago. But a nationwide ban now, doctors say, would prevent 20,000 heart attacks and 7,000 deaths a year. I dont think a ban works. Reporter says one donut eater.
