it may be that it's not a landscape that makes you feel small, it's a landscape that gets rid of your sense of scale entirely because there have been so many times out there in the deep of winter camping for week after week in the open desert where at night it gets down to 10 below or 15 below zero and there's nothing in your life but the sky and the stars. and you are looking up into the sky and you think, i could just stand and walk into stars. i could become a giant. there are times in the desert when you are not small but you are infinite. you take up everything. there is no boundary between you and it. when i look at the artifacts that the anastazi made, especially the painted black and white, i see that landscape. i see the colorado plateau. this bowl is from american museum of natural history and that's where it is now. that's the storage place. where it was from before is pueblo bonito in chaco canyon where there were rooms filled to the ceiling with bowls stacked within each other, bowls like this. all their designs, you can kind of get a glimpse around this. they have this f

and certainly in a semi-arid ecosystem like the yellowstone, they really do dominate the landscape.arrator: although these riparian systems only comprise around 1% of the park's land area, they play a vital role, providing food or habitat for over 70% of the species in the park. so protecting these systems is essential to maintaining the overall health of the park's ecosystem. sarah uhl coordinates the field research in the riparian zones. woman: we're working in a very complex system, and we're trying to understand how the introduction of wolves is one factor interacting with a suite of other factors to change willow and other riparian shrub populations. maybe this one that we're looking at is one of these dots. and therefore, we need to go a little bit more... we definitely need to get around. narrator: crabtree has set up around 90 plots throughout yellowstone. every four years, a team of field biologists returns to each plot, locates each of the trees and shrubs on the plot... what else is around you? ...and updates the master database with the current health of each plant. man:

this landscape is all about water. and on the last trip you can see the sea of cortez out there on the horizon. we walked to the edge of the dunes and even out there, just past the edge of the dunes, you would find places where there's -- there were piles of pottery, pottery scattered in the sand, and then the desert pan extended out and then you reach the sea of cortez that lies beyond. you know, i should -- i want to show you guys these next slides. i'm kind of running out of time here but i've got to show you this place. i'm not going to go into heavy detail, i want to take you down here into the sierra madre. i was following routes all over for the house of rain, trying to figure out where the anastazi went when they left house of rain. many of them made the modern pueblos but other groups continued south. i followed pottery trails down into the sierra madre where my wife and two others went out and we came to these cliff dwellings. it seemed like every single cave we looked into had cliff dwellings. and this wasn'

whether they are on islands or the new, permeable landscaping. this will slow traffic down, increased the beauty of the street, make it much more engaging for our residents, and also helps with the trees that have been replanted here to increase the beauty of the street, but making it that much more enlivened with greene streets. at the same time, it took a few more months than anticipated. it was expected to take four months. when dpw dug into the main sewer line, they discovered some major work that needed to be done. they wanted to make sure that the sewer line would work perfectly, as well as each of their feeds into homes. while infrastructure is sometimes hard to imagine or see, you will be -- you are standing on the street that will probably be the best for decades to come. you will have an unstoppable sewer. no longer those backups. the fire chief will have a pleasant time going down the street to make sure that the services are there. as i said earlier, this is a beautiful project coming in, not only the designed for infrastructure, but

i could sit down and be by myself and do a landscape. i thought it felt great!nd this is this very secret and sacred joy. the kind of freedom i give myself, nobody else could give to me. i love myself to enjoy it, use it. three fujins actually are the three concubines of the famous prince yihuan of the ch'ing dynasty, which was overthrown in 1911. to me, the role of the concubines was not really much different than the prostitute, although they were royal women. i was drawn to the formal pose, their mask-like faces, and the sense that the women have roles to fill, and make themselves up to play their parts. you know, sometimes one can get very intimidated by a new canvas. it's brand-new, clean, very well-made canvas. where should i start? i always like to use big brush, almost, like, to mess up first. then i'm not worried about it anymore. but i don't want to start with a lot of rules, a lot of limitations, a lot of hesitations of "too precious. oh, my god." every, you know -- the eyebrow, the tiny earring. all of that i just don't worry about, you know. just st

we've only got a little bit of time to cover the entire landscape. we're talking about some of the issues, but every bit of polling shows that the economy is the top issue driving election 2012. before lehman brothers collapsed, 43% of americans said their finances were in good shape. when president obama took office, it had already fallen to 35%. by last summer, it was down to 27%, and the president's ratings were tanking. right now, 35% say their finances are in good shape, exactly the same as the date that president obama took office. if that number keeps moving up, if people feel better about the economy, is president obama a lock to win? ralph? >> i think it's a lot harder. but i don't think that will be the case. you've still got almost 1 million more people out of work today than when he took the oath of office. historically -- and, scott, i know you know this -- no one in the post-world war ii period has been re-elected as president in the year in which real personal income declined, and right now that number is down. it's not up. so, it's no

stories are everywhere out in this landscape. when you walk down into the bottom of the narrow canyons made of sandstone and you put your hands on the sand stone faces and the smooth shallow scallops that look like champagne glasses, you can feel the shape of the last flood that came through. every place in the desert is a story. every place is a passage way. it's really hard to walk very far in the desert for me because there are so many stories that start opening up and lead you from place to place and place and soon you start picking up the patterns of wind, of rain. you pick up the patterns of people who were there before you because, out there, things seem to last forever. if you put a footprint down in certain places, that footprint will stay for 5 years, maybe even 10 years for somebody who's got a really good eye where you come walking along and you see the slightest depression in the ground and you kneel at it and you figure out that it was a person with about a size 9 foot walking across the desert 8 years before you. e

the first one is to tell you about this great new book called "a negotiated landscape."half way through it and it is quite interesting. to tell you a little bit about the book, it really picks up on the port as we came out of world war two, the global logistics supply chain changed mots to containerization from bulk cargo which the port of san francisco was built for. the army and navy which occupied most of the ports properties left and the rebirth of the waterfront was upon us and it brings us all the way through until my tenure with the port, so it is a look at the factors that have driven development along the waterfront and the creation and import of the waterfront land use plan as a discussion point, but not necessarily a recipe for success or failure. some of the chapters are very well named, but it goes into what is called the absence of plans, the 1950's and 1960's. the pressures of the 1970's, which would be when fishermans wharf came into being the way we know it today, and questionable results, the 1970's and 1980's and then the waterfront plan of the 1990's
