Ask the public to participate remotely by writing to the board or leaving a voicemail message. For all comments received in advance of the meeting we have received and we appreciate these comments. While Technology Allows us to hold these meetings via teleconference, it may not be as seamless as it would like to be. There will be gaps in some airtime, staff at times the staff transitions between the speakers and the callers. Know that we are doing the best that we possibly can and we ask for your understanding and patience as we are all learning this new way of working together. A reminder to the Board Members to mute themselves to minimize the background noise. Board members will have to remember to unmute themselves to comment. Again, were going to ask everyone to be patient as we make these adjustments. Madam secretary, roll call, please. Clerk [roll call] we do have a q ....
Its still going to be breezy but not as windy as this morning, and were looking at temperatures today that will be a little bit warmer than normal but fairly mild with palo alto reaching 75. 76 in oakland. And in San Francisco a high of 73 degrees. Well talk about some of the highest wind gust weve measured and whats ahead in the forecast in a few minutes. Mike, how is it looking for the morning commute . I want to show our friends behind me the light yellow highlighting that is not fog. Thats where the road weather index is going to be gusty for drivers in many places. You head up the hills throughout san jose, the south bay, looking to the north bay as well with the same highlighting. The antioch bridge and the benicia bridge, a concern but not a major problem for drivers. Thank you, mike. We are continuing our Team Coverage on the biggest wind event to hit the bay area so fa ....
Europe, up by 2. 5 . Todays number from barclays, very strong. We are going to hear from jes staley a little later in the program, our interview from early round. The pound bouncing around all over the place. We were into 1. 31. I think this is broad Dollar Strength rather than anything else. Take a look at the bloomberg dollar index. Alix rising covid cases impacting the economic data. Composite pmi for the euro area dropping below the 50 mark, which shows contraction. Meeting. O ecbs next joining us is john hardy, Saxo Bank Head of fx strategy. Does 1. 18 make sense for when you consider the rising uncertainty . John of course, the pressure should be on the downside given the covid resurgence. I think the general take on the could be that if we are seeing this democrat sweep scenario, we are positioning for a weaker dollar for some time in the future. Anything looks fair b ....
Kari, you have had sky ranger to look out for and track downed power lines. It looks like its over off the shoulder there right around high street, coming up in through the Oakland Hills where highway 13 got a wind advisory from chp. Well watch for the traffic moving smoothly. At least part of a tree down inside this freeway. Outside the bay bridge toll plaza in the east bay and the oakland area metering lights turned on earlier than necessary because of the volume. I think theyre keeping folks on the shoreline to keep volume on the span lighter as we look at the map. That would make things easier to handle if there are problems. High wind advisory reported for many of the spans there and this traffic incident is the only problem because of the crash over into sunol and west 84, around the ge plant and that may be clearing lanes right now. Back over to you, kris. This morning about 225,000 pg e customers are without power across no ....
Next, on lectures in history, Purdue University professor Kathryn Brownell teaches a class about political advertising in the 1950s, highlighting Dwight Eisenhowers president ial campaigns. She compares radio and early televised ads and examines what components made them successful. Her class is about an hour and 10 minutes. Nothing perhaps captures the popular memory of the 1950s like the slogan i like ike. This idea that this pin that so many people wore around the campaign of 1952 and 1956 conveys a notion of nostalgia and simplicity. It really emphasizes this idea of the 1950s as this era of prosperity where america was a world leader and the American People were happy in suburban homes with their nuclear families. I like ike. Its so simple. And it con ....
