Good morning, everyone. Im scott mcgrew. When someone comes up with a new idea, a new invention, a new way of looking at thicks the classic reaction is, its been tried before or itll never work or nobody wants it. And in nearly every case the critics are wrong. Take the automobile, for instance, henry ford reportedly said if i had asked people what they wanted they would have said a faster horse. I know not to react that way when i hear a new idea. Dont say its been tried before or itll never work. It is awfully tempting in the case of boone technology, a young group of entrepreneur who is want to build a supersonic airplane to take travelers from new york to london in a little less than four hours at twice the speed of sound to be a bit doubtful.

Would get in the way. But not clear beyond that. Could there be a strike tomorrow . I cant answer that. If we dont reach an agreement there could be a strike. T were doing everything we can and have delaye strike. The assembly moved dead line this, time, unions have not set a new deadline. Its obviously been frustrating to those who depend on bart, one man out here with signs earlier today. And uncertainty continues. We have not heard from either side in a couple hours and have no time frame tonight how long theyll talk. And again, unions have not given indications of whether they might strike tomorrow. So much uncertainty, thank you very much. Seems both sides began talking again shortly after that federal mediator arrived in town. 48 hours ago. So, who is this guy . And does he have what it takes to broker a deal . Were live in San Francisco with that story. Cornell . You know, george cohen not a household name. When talking mediation hes a very big deal.
