Host technology and telecommute occasions have become a bigger part of your portfolio over the last couple of years, havent they . To some extent yes. I say to some extent because telecommute occasions are much more the purview of the Commerce Department then the ftc but for example with respect to privacy we do work there with respect to advertising claims we do work there and certainly technology is a big part of what we do. Host antitrust when it comes to technology, correct . Guest yes, very much so. Host there was a recent article in the wall street journal talking about the potential lawsuit against facebook.

Well as some low elevation snow for the bay area, and whats ahead, but mike, youre getting reports of some roadway flooding. Weve been getting reports through the night, kari, as the rain really hit last evening, really kicked in the afternoon and evening. We saw the big reports and then a lot of surface streets. Right now all this radar activity, superimposed over the traffic map. The roadway sensors are green but that green radar kind of covers it up. This is where youll find that more intense rain right now as kari has been talking about. Watch this. See as we move down now the san mateo bridge ill pick it out and the dumbarton bridge and anywhere south of the dumbarton bridge things are much calmer right now, more coming in off the peninsula, so that will be a factor. We see green sensors around the bay and look at our san mateo bridge camera. Well have an issue with water kicking up on your lens and scattered showers right now, more coming as kari says. Back to you. Thanks, mike.
