dr. sullivan. i am sure he would love to answer them. >> hi, thank you, it was great listening to your stories. a couple months ago, anthony scalia, made a comment about affirmative action and how it services minorities because it gets them into colleges and as a college graduate it made me think maybe i should not be at my school, did i get there was i am black, and i stopped and thought this isn't true but thought about these young people of color applying to colleges and i was wondering hopefully their reaction was, you know, to ignore him. but wondering what you thought of that comment and how you feel about affirmative action. >> i disagree with that comment and find it condecending. in my opinion, they are trying to make the right wrong where whites had the advantage because blacks couldn't compete. if you are white and were a slave owner and became wealthy because of the labor of the slaves you were able to pass it on to your families and susequent generations and that gave them an advantage

dr. sullivan. you mentioned that it is like el niÑo, it will start phasing out, and possibly there is a 70% chance that la nina will increase hurricane activity. i am in texas on the gulf coast, and we have been hit by hurricanes before. what are the chances of a la nin a delivering before the end of the season? ll: there is a 70% chance that la nina will be here during the hurricane season, and that is when the ball of the hurricanes occur. occur during these months, and there is a high likelihood nina will be present. the counter is we do not know if we are in this background claimant signal that would further enhance the activity or perhaps a change in that signal that might help to suppress la nina's impacts, and that is what we expect a near-normal season. that is still a lot of activity. you need to be start getting prepared with your preparedness plan because we know it only takes one, and the sooner you prepare, the better, the more ready you will be in case a storm threatened us. lathe las
