have a classic identity relationship with the ten commandments and mount sinai - on two different axis. one axis is how are humans to relate to the divine, and so there's a set of commandments about the relationship who you are as han, who god is, and how people are to relate. then we flip the axis over, and we're on a horizontal basis here, and the whole story is about how we're to relate to each other. and you think, god - from the jewish perspective - one time, only one time does god come down and talk to humans on that mountain. and god could have given a great theological discourse. god could have given great visions to moses, or great powers. what's god do? he comes down and sets up a set of simple rules about how we're to relate to each other and relate to the divine. and of course, the neat part of the story is, nobody's ever been able to live up to them since - depending on some interpretations. but the whole rest of the story, and the great myth in all of the rest of - in the prophets, the historical section of the hebrew bible and then in the writings, what you find there is

axis of cultural differences.his is where christian europe meets islamic asia. istanbul lies on the bosporus, the narrow strait that unofficially separates europe from asia. the city has flourished for many centuries as an economic and political center. as constantinople, it was the center of the christian byzantine empire. as istanbul, it was the seat of the turkish-ottoman sultans. after the first world war, the last remnants of the ottoman empire disappeared. turkey, on the losing side, was reduced to its present size. in the 1920s, the political leader ataturk founded the modern turkish state. ankara, to the east, became its new capital. one of ataturk's major goals was econom modernization. development was focused on the cities. the effort led to mass migration from the countryside to urban areas. many villages were completely abandoned, especially in the 1950s and '60s. ( speaking turkish ) translator: this village of formerly 120 families now only houses 35. these 35 households mainly consist of elderly peo

this is the polar axis going through here. so the earth is tipped, okay? so that tip is about 23 1/2 degrees. that tip remains constant all around the sun. so over here--just like that, about 23 1/2 degree tipped like this. okay. and six months later, the tip is the same. it has the same angle when i'm here as over here, rotating about the same axis. that's our daily axis. every day, how long does it take for this to turn in one time? one time. one time, one time per day. we know that, right? so--but these are six months apart. here's the equator. the equator. there's the sun. this is not the scale. but i'm gonna label one of these, june or december? if one is june, so the other is december. and you guys, look and see which one he gonna put down june and which one he gonna put down december. check with the neighbor and see what neighbor say. okay, gang, what did you pick? how many say this should december? how many say this should be june? yehey, the whole class. all right. you'd be knowing these things. see? this is gonna be june, right? because what happ

we play is a new axis of evil emerging, syria/iraq/pakistan. >> this was an intervention built to create something far more tilted in the direction of western interests? >> it was supposed to establish a pro-american beacon of democrat say that would transform the middle east. in fact, it is emerging as one of the biggest long-term problems in the middle east that our years, our decade, near decade of dpigt not resolve. >> michael, you're critical of president obama's lack of engagement with an end game for iraq that maybe exacerbates this threat, are you not? >> to be fair, i'm sort of an equal opportunity critic and what president obama inherited was a complicated situation. by no means an easy situation in iraq politically. but there were opportunities, i think, to shape iraq and to be more involved in iraq and if you just look at the sofa negotiations to keep american troops there, which the pog and the state department both believe would be desirable and presume blitz white house itself thought it might be, too or they wouldn't have initiated those talks, i mean, the obama administr

by the afternoon the axis may shift more east of i-95. it will be a seasonably mild day with highs between 75 and 80. >>> checking out your drive, if you're east on 66, you're about to head there. here's the irk. eastbound 66 -- issue. eastbound 66 trying to get into vienna. two separate incidents. on the left side you see the fire department response to an incident. fronds that the -- beyond that the far right lane is blocked. going to cost you extra time this morning. also east near the 27-mile marker heading into delaplane, there's an issue on the left side. your next timesaver traffic at 6:18. >> thank you. >>> the first of three presidential debates is tomorrow night in denver. the focus tomorrow night is domestic issues, especially the economy. joining us for a preview this morning is the white house correspondent for "u.s.a. today," channel 9 and "u.s.a. today" are both owned by gannett. we're glad to have you here with us. the debates have been hiked as game changers but even last month the obama advisors were saying they expect m

remember the descriptors are opportunists if the opportunity presents itself to axis scrap medals for explosives they will do it one particular scrap or retrieve the maverick missile the classified piece of ordinance and removed the explosive payload and where he went with it we don't know the potential for danger to the public is very real it simply highlights the importance of the military and this civilian law enforcement operation supercritical there's a team i've been the court or. a lawyer say well you know what you should fancy. patrols out and how are you going to patrol and fans. all of this. i know i told them the. silliest things they ever did was to. make the fines out of aluminum they're up here scrapping aluminums so much about what they're up here for some people here i have no scruples don't know nothing. most of them are my friends they don't kill people so i don't say nothing and they've already been caught for other crimes and sent to prison the chef said you know you go right over here by the fish right here. that phone right there jay bakker go back put up interes

you have some leeway during negotiations and the media focus very much on this german franco axis because it used to be -- traditionally, it has always been the engine -- the motor that has been keeping the european union going, and usually, the french and german chancellor and president would meet in the run-up to summits. they only did that today as a sort of last-minute meeting that happened before the summit, so relationships between angela merkel and francois hollande are clearly tense, but they also agree on a lot of things despite all the difference is that we hear about. they both want banking union. in fact, they agreed to that at the summit in june, so there's no doubt about that. >> this desire for agreement you are talking about -- will it lead to anything concrete? is anything going to come out of this summit? >> there's a lot of areas european leaders will have to discuss. angela merkel has said quite clearly nothing will be decided. you could say this is sort of a routine summit where european leaders are sitting down, discussing proposals and the future of the european uni

shiite xs from iran via the shiites in iraq syria to be shiite hizbullah in southern lebanon this axis will be destroyed which means also on the bed this will be a tremendous blow for the political influence of iran in the gulf region now you mention quite a few countries there is the risk of the crisis in syria spilling over into other countries but the conflict has spelled already in lebanon that there are quite a number of. tween. living in northern lebanon in particular in tripoli and. sunni supporters of bashar but it. is also developing into a proxy war because saudi arabia massively supporting be sunny hariri clan in order to weaken the dominating shiite hizbullah in lebanon so the situation in lebanon is very tense and. the chances that even another civil war will take place here these chances. relatively high now kofi annan might have stepped down from his role as a peace mediator but is his six point plan still the best option for peace in syria . well i think it's the only option however right from the beginning especially the united states but also saudi arabia qatar they w

this was a 9.1 magnitude earthquake that change to the tilt of the earth's axis. for those that were in tokyo at the time, they experience, as you would expect, a severe shock. the buildings held up. the architecture and engineering held in place. there were provisions in place for tsunami. of what no one expected in the course of this disaster was the coastline to drop. when the coast line dropped more than 1 meter, it changed the title characteristics of the wave. the wave reached 6.5 miles inland. almost like an egg beater. when it reached inland, it grabbed everything that it could and drag it out to sea. it resulted in this incoherent picture of ships on top of buildings, buildings and out at sea, and over 1 million families left without power. so, now we are looking at pictures of a destructive scale never before witnessed. notice how we have captured this slide here. this is what we know. the lesson that we pass along is that it is important to understand what we do not know. we are looking at the water as it comes into the power plant. as that wave hits, f

mass of the earth, because it moves so it change slightly the configuration, it has an effect in the axis rotation of the globe. it moved 8 centimeters north pole to the east and that means rotation increased 1.26 millions of seconds so you work less because of chili right now, but it's an impact you have to take into account that happened because of that earthquake. here i can show you a set of photographs of the destruction in the coastal villages, most of them was because of the tsunami. the waves came in there and destroy everything. it goes about 300 meters inland, so nothing was safe. in the port activities, the containers, it's impressive derelict, you have it take that into account in places where you put containers in there because it was a big problem. and infrastructure also have some things was destroyed. bridges, airport. that's in santiago, absolutely far away from where the epicenter was. in terms of people who was meeting close to 500 people, 150 was because of the tsunami, 350 because of the earthquake. that is why, i show you why later. in certain areas over there just i

the vertical axis here is man-hours or person hours, if you'll excuse me, of labor. massive numbers of people come to work at the shipyard when there's a ship there. a good portion of that is union labor that's employed directly by bae. they also have subcontractors come in for specialized work. the white numbers on the columns represent the number of union workers showing up every day for each one of these jobs. so, we're looking at anywhere from 130 to 300 workers showing up every day because she's ships have come into the dry dock for work. and, so, basically we've invested, we've partnered with bae and both invested and we've created more jobs, more good union jobs here at the port of san francisco coming out of our maritime business. we've also increased port revenues through that. and equally importantly, we've cleaned up the ports there in the process. so, it's been a win all the way around, a three-way win. and with that, i'll take questions. >> [inaudible]. >> just a couple very quick, james wright. this is unique. working with the port of san francisco, i'v

and i'm wondering if our dashboard will allow us to look at is there enumclaw -- for example, 80 -120 axi, ami, which i know we're woefully short on. i'm just curious. >> again, as mr. paul mentions. we're woefully inadequate in 80-120 and are we in need of more analysis? it's something that we would obviously like to work on with you all, because you understand your capacity. i wouldn't dismiss anything that either of you have said. so i don't know if you can address what was raised? >> so this summary report is the main purpose of it is the comparison. >> it rena is the regional housing needs -- our regional goals? >> our regional goals with abag and collaboration with the department of housing, they provide every five years. and anything else that we want to add we can discuss for further information. we can do it in the reports that we're doing that are not mandated, i guess. >> thank you. any concluding remarks, supervisor olague or campos? >> go for it and i will go afterwards. >> just a quick question, the way it works the report happens every quarter then? it's not going to be eve

by this afternoon i think we'll see fewer showers as the axis of rain moves north and east of us.n the eastern shore, you may be getting it better this afternoon than let's say this morning. 77 by 4:00. high today i'm forecasting 78 with 74 degrees by 8:00 p.m. look at the rain since last night. last six hours here. now generally west of i-95 out toward west virginia. some heavier showers have really fallen into parts of the shenandoah valley and back toward southern west virginia. east of town, still relatively quiet here. we'll take you into winchester right now. back toward purcelville. you see these moderate showers approaching charles town at this hour. they even get heavier as you go from woodstock down south of route 7 here and getting south almost to 66. this is where we're seeing the heavier showers into fauquier county back toward sperryville. all of this lifting north toward front royal and up toward upperville and aldy. those areas will -- aldie. those areas will be seeing this moving in the next 40 minutes. down toward warrenton and culpeper, the more moderate rain sh

we should note axis of heaviest snow, even though it won't be as great as west virginia will extend into western virginia and mountains of western north carolina. >> it's a great source of information for the public. if you want to know anything about what's going on with legislation, with policy, c-span's got it covered. i like book tv. that's my famplete i get to see all of the different authors that are speaking around the country. it's nice to see some of them you read about. c-span offers exactly the news as it's happening. it doesn't offer commentary. it's just telling you the facts and showing you who you can make your own decisions, the decisions are not being told to you. and it's just -- to me that's very interesting. people who want to be engaged in society and know what's going on. >> maisie mead watches c-span on verizon, created by america's cable companies in 1979, brought to you as a public service by your television provider. >> in his weekly address, president obama talks about the u.s. economy and consumer financial regulations law. then u.s. congressional candidate an

can see the shower activity stretching from upstate new york right down into the carolinas along the axis of this front. as it pushes to the east later, i think the showers will wind down here during your early- morning hours. we'll be left with cloud cover for a good part of the day. by later in the afternoon, even the clouds will start to push for enough east, we'll get in on some of the sunshine and some of that drier air. the wind will shift out of the north and west and it will start to feel more comfortable around here by mid- to late afternoon. 73 in washington. it is it's very warm and muggy start. our average daytime high is 73 degrees. that gives you an idea of how warm it is. 74 in annapolis. we'll get highs back in the low 80s. 64 in frederick. 82 your daytime high. wind shifting out of the north and west at about five to 10. some afternoon sun after early clouds. the showers, we should be done with them during the early- morning hours. i'm not expecting rain later today. there is your accu-weather seven-day forecast. much cooler tonight and much drier tonight. overnight lows,

this is where it looks like the main axis of rain will stay today south and east of us. we'll see a pop-up shower i think in the afternoon just because there's so much humidity around. you throw in some sunshine. it's like boiling a pot of water. you start to get some bubbles to pop. that's what i think we'll see here but not too many. not too much in the way of fog returning. during the day on thursday, could be an isolated shower south and east in the morning. the warning looks decently sunny and another day with high temperatures in the 80s. remember that cold shot i showed you? looks like some of that gets here late in the weekend into early next week. 85 today with afternoon sun and an isolated shower after the morning fog burns off. 60s to near 70 for a low tonight. tomorrow 82. again we could have some clouds in the morning. better chance of sun for the afternoon. nice on friday. also about 82. the weekend maybe a stray shower saturday, 76. but skins game could have a few showers, 67. much cooler monday. monday we're going to struggle to get only to 61. it is 5:49

see, even the axis of a wheel and the direction in which it's traveling, right angle, okay? so what happens over here? these waves of light come down. and when they hit the water, what happened to the speed of the rays? slow down. or you don't know that? well, check your neighbor. -- --somehow go faster. what's the answer, gang? slow down. it slowed down, okay? the wave slowed down. so, what happens, they hit, they bend, and they sort of bend like this. and they get closer together. so the wavelength gets a little less in here, but the frequency of the waves stays the same. does the frequency of a light wave change when it reflects from a surface, as we talked about before? what evidence do you have that the frequency of light does not change upon reflection? do you have any evidence of that? what evidence do you have that the frequency won't change? check your neighbor. how many people say, "well there's really no evidence of that, it's just in the textbooks and we believe it?" try it, gang. hint, shall i pass this mirror around? if i pass this little mirror around, what wo

as we head into the evening hours, the axis of the heavier showers will be generally along and east of-95. so out toward the shenandoah valley, you may finish the day with a little bit of sunshine. we'll get to tonight, midnight. lingering shower in the mountains but otherwise clearing skies. we start tuesday with sunshine. we finish tuesday with sunshine. and even on wednesday, that looks like a pretty decent day. maybe a patch or two of clouds but otherwise all in all pretty nice weather i think tomorrow, wednesday, thursday, with another chance of showers by the time we get toward friday. so today we'll get temperatures in the low 70s. we've gone with a yellow alert day for the afternoon. i'm worried about the commute home. that may be hampered by some of these showers and thorl. got outdoor -- and thunderstorm. got outdoor plans this afternoon, they may not happen. 73. 50 for the low in town. thursday 72. then there's another chance of showers on friday with dry and pleasant for the weekend. it's 5:47. here comes monika with timesaver traffic. >>> it's just that volume that happens

to help facilitate mental health diagnoses, it clearly states, for example, if an individual has an axisagnosis such as ptsd, giving the diagnosis of adjustment disorder is inappropriate. we have track this pattern for years. in the beginning, it was diagnosing ptsd and brain disorders as having personality disorders. next was the adjustment disorder, then it was indicted. the new trend is all of the seven individuals have somatoform disorder. >> somatoform disorder? >> it is absurd. recently, there was a scandal at lewis-mcchord in washington state that providers or changing individuals diagnoses and denying the diagnosis of ptsd. when that came into the news cycle, i received calls and i was asked the question, what you think about this? i said, while this is tragic, it is not newsworthy. it has been going on for years. i was involved in investigation and for cars and in 2004 we identified a provider who admitted that there were purposely misdiagnosing so they do not have to pay benefits. so this is an ongoing problem. it is one of the root causes that ultimately leads people to commit

>> well, i actually think that the conversation hasn't happened on a left/right axis, necessarily.inly mitt romney is far to the right on things like women's issues, on choice, on judge, on all those things, but i think the conversation has been more about is he for the top over the folks who are in the middle and at the bottom. if you look at what he did at the debate, he tried to, you know, wiggle his way out of being this guy who is just for the top, this plutocrat that american people think he is basically and that he is, and the truth of the matter is that his position, the things that he has espoused on the campaign trail that he used to get through the republican primary, are positions that are very focused on the top and it looks like what the campaign is doing and what the press is doing is pointing out mitt romney is not telling the truth about the positions he has. >> yeah. but that's presuming he's going to stay on one message or the other. the most shocking thing about the debate, you're not going to do the 20% across the board tax cut, now you like certain parts of th
