i say monkeys, i think lemurs come from madagascar, so... but this is obviously the work of renÉ lalique. now, i have to say that the pendant was in a mount that was not made by lalique. so somebody had actually you know sort of put a stamp on there somewhat illegally. but there's nothing illegal about this. but there is one thing missing and that is the lalique mark. i mean, i've looked everywhere in every nook and cranny and it's not there. i would have expected a stencil mark that said r. lalique. because it's important to remember that after he died in 1945 virtually everything carried simply lalique as a mark. but the thing is when i was thinking back in greenwich about this piece, i wasn't thinking exactly of this piece. now, let me just quantify that. i was thinking of a slightly more shallow bowl because there are two versions. and this, believe it or not, is actually a lamp shade. it's a light shade. if i was to hold it like so, are you with me? woman: yes. appraiser: and that's why the base is not sort of leveled out. it's not been

a series of cyclones left thousands homeless in southern africa and madagascar. in october, hurricane sandy swept through the caribbean and slammed into the east coast of the u.s. causing an estimated $60 billion worth of damage. in december, powerful typhoon caused the death of over 1000 people in the philippines. the areas affected by these disasters will be recovering for many months. there were less dramatic events that are likely to affect almost everyone in 2013. that is because many places hit by destructive weather in 2012 are the same places that produce our food. the u.s. suffered its worst drought in 50 years. the summer was so bad as some people compared it to the drought of 1936 at the height of the dust bowl era. russia also suffered a crippling drought. europe did not fare better

i'll talk about my capacity challenges and my area of responsibility covers the rocky mountains to madagascar. the same area of responsibility as admiral lochlear except they have the arctic and antarctic as well. so, obviously with 13,000 people covering that aor, a little over 200 ships, i'm very dependent on partnerships. i work with 71 countries with whom i have 65 bilateral agreements with those entities. but everything really starts at the most local level first. so, it's appropriate to hear from captain stow and the network of partnerships that she's dealt here in the bay area, but we have this lattice work that goes across my entire pacific region. and then i need to focus on what do i do in the event of a threat right now in dealing with the arctic. what if i have a deep water horizon spill there? because now it affects the nate and i have indigenous tribes of that part of the world. and how do i flow resources there, recognizing the navy doesn't have ice breakers and our nation has one. so, we do a lot of work with canada when we're starting to work on those contingencies. but we lo
