i wanted to acknowledge there's already been a book that's been done by don hickey.u heard from don this morning. he was the first speaker. he did an excellent job. he's done a whole book on the myths of the war of 1812. this is the cover page for it. in it, he has a quote and i will read it. the war of 1812 is a conflict that carries an unduly heavy burden of mythology. much of it propagated by 19th century historians and arriving from chauvinism. i would like to add to that, many scholars, writers, historia historians, teachers, professors were continuing to propagate that. we are never going to be able to get rid of these

taylor asked don hickey to discuss some of the personalities.could you comment on dewitt clinton and daniel tompkins who were both governor of new york state. and also the landing of money by tompkins to fund new york state's role in the war of 1812, which when he died, he was very -- he was broke. and tompkins went on to serve as monroe's vice president for eight years. could you comment on the role of dewitt clinton and daniel tompkins. >> i probably couldn't say more than what you have. certainly not an area of expertise for me. but what i would say is that the -- at this time there is sort of a movement towards secession that has been going on in new england. and i think the -- the burning of washington is one of the things that pulls the rug out from that movement because there is quite a bit of outrage that spreads, including up to new england and to new york over the burning of washington. i don't know if anybody else has something to add about it, but -- >> are there any other personalities you want to discuss that had a role in the war

brian hickey, ktvu channel 2 news. >> our coverage continues at ktvu of the fires. you will find the latest  information on line and also on twitter and facebook. >>> happening today, a new law goes into effect requiring drivers to give bicyclists a three-foot buffer when passing and violating this law could mean hundreds of dollars in fines. ktvu's katie utehs is live in san francisco with the details that drivers need to know. a lot of people are wondering if they need to have a measuring stick or something like that when they pass the cyclist. >> reporter: well, three feet. it's a yard's distance. most of us can gauge that but the rule of thumb, if it feels too close, it probably is. but this new law law defines the safe -- law defines the safe passing distance as three feet. it's called the three-feet safety act that takes the ambiguity out of enforcement and california's bicycle coalition calls it another tool for officers. you are looking at video from a hit and run. on a narrow street, the driver failed to yield. the new law says if a driver cannot pass wit

paul hickey is here with us.ood to see you. >> good to see you, too. >> what should we -- we've already seen the impact on things like materials and commodities. that's no surprise. >> when you look at the performance of the dollar, going back to 1991, there's been over 20 other quarters where we've seen a 5% drop. the economy's changed a lot over the last 50 years. if you look at the last 20 years, but even if you go back to '71, in the quarter following these big spikes in the dollar has been a better period. what you look at going forward in the quarter, it's not sectors you might expect. you have materials, industrials and energy which have historically led the market in the quarter following these spikes. while everyone is saying buy domestic orien at a timed companies -- which is the theme we've been on, too. but now we've had this big spike, the dollar is going to see some sort of reversion to the mean. and these sectors which are deeply oversold are going to outperform. >> is it because the strength in th

joining me is paul hickey, an investor, it does matter how the s&p has been trading going into the month of september as a guide tore how it will do in september. correct? >> first, yes, first of all, seasonal factors alon you shouldn't trade on them. they're one piece of the whole puzzle. you have to look at a multitude of factors. september it's down over 100 in the past 50 years, or 14u6789 years. year-to-date into the month of september, the s&p is averaging 20 basis points in at the present time e september. odds after a positive return 50-50. when we're down, afternoon average is three-and-a-half% with gains over a third of the time. there is a big difference, over the last ten years, the average gain of 90 bits eight out of the last ten tiles, they sort of counteract each other with the negative long-ter perspective with the caveat of performance and his tore. >> i want to get the two stocks on the upside of september. so cme and nike, why? >> again, first, we're looking at stocks that have a positive seasonal tendency. cme has been positive in then of the last ten years in septem
