and they sing at almost every mass and our weekday mass they have been singing at special masses. if you like that sing that music, the traditional music, i encourage you to get into this. >> i think that is a key part of this, right, the music? >> yes. we're fortunate to get the organist that we have. we're not a wealthy parish. and we could not afford a hundred thousand dollars salary which we deserve that is well train in the classical tradition. one day this guy showed up from hungary. >> when he we get back from the break, let's hear more about the choir. stay with us, folks. >>> welcome back i'm vicky evans your host. and our guest is father mark mazza from star of the sea in san francisco what is telling us about the traditional latin mass that is being celebrated there now. it is in latin. so the missiles had to be changed, right? >> we had in latin and english. and we even have one in spanish and latin. and we also have one in chinese and latin. and people can use those to follow the ordinary prayers, the ones that don't change from mass to mass. and then. we have also ob

were mass slayings of creatures. my personal favorite is the one that comes at the end of the permian period and if you look at this chart here of the geological periods you can see it near the bottom and there is even a thing that says extinction near the permian. this is about 250 million years ago. and at that time and, the planet is due to the tectonics and the continent were completely different than they are now. they are arranged into one giant super content. you have to imagine the super continent is stretching all the way from the north pole down to the south pole. and that is when in the north, in the area that eventually became siberia turned into a super volcano and what happened is not a scientific term. but they basically refers to a massive volcano and this was caused by insignia's province which is a very large area where lot is being released in multiple places so you have to imagine them as opening and the earth. it's not like a mountain where it's kind of blowing up on the top pivoted dance are ope

great turnout, the cathedral where we have seen the funeral masses of so many baltimore johnny unitasand now art donovan. commune cane taking place, and at the end will come the final commendation where the catholic faith, the priest will condemn the soul to heaven. ong those here, former governor, huge fan. andsons of john unitas, joe chad. crowd of hundreds at the cathedral today, remembering a man who brought so much to baltimore. prior to 1958, the greatest game ever played as it is known in football lore history, baltimore was not considered a great sports town. it had never placed a world champion on the national stage, art donovan, the 1958 colts helped change that forever. and as part of his career path, 10 years later, would wind up in canton as the first baltimore colt enshrined in the hall of fame. that really did open him to a national stage. that would include the tonight show with john so i carson, late night with david letterman where he would become a regular contributor to that show. friend of david letterman. became a friend of americans who loved the down home whit

i think we can move right on to the public safety at mass gatherings.e put that on the agenda after the boston bombings. we have a meeting last week and many departments presented. we just ask for the police and fire to give very, very brief presentations on what we're doing to address special events but any of the rest of you who testified last meeting feel free to jump in from our prospective so i'm going to turn it over and here we go >> thank you and this is manage i think all of you know we're been doing a number of years now so we actually think about all this in advance. briefly our roll in the preevent is just bringing together the planning to help people connect and gather them up. we usually hold a planned meeting where we get everybody in the room and walk be through the plans so we don't have 3 different used for the same plot of ground and during the event we'll pull together people and provided cooperation. we'll pull together experience to test the plans in the assumptions. we did this last year for the america's cup and we've done a numb

there was a time when i rejected comparisons between mass incarceration and slavery and mass impersonation and jim crow believing that those kinds of claims and comparisons were exaggerations or distortions or hyperbole. in fact there was a time when i thought that people who make those kinds of claims and those comparisons for are actually doing more harm than good to efforts to reform our criminal justice system and a creep -- achieved greater racial equality in the united states. what a difference a decade makes for after years of working as a civil rights lawyer and advocate representing victims of racial profiling and police brutality and investigating patterns of drug law enforcement and attempting to assist people who have been released from prison, re-enter into a society that has never shown much use for them in the first place. i had a series of experiences that began what i now call my a way getting. i began to awaken to the racial realities that was just so obvious to me now, that what seems odd in retrospect is that i could've been blind to it for so long. as i write in the in

around mass incarceration. they were in texas justifying. georgia has cut that they're spending. it arkansas's closing jails. 10 years ago we were talking about three strikes and everything else. there is a meeting of the minds and the wallets here because if you want to cut government spending a great place to do it with nonviolent offenders. it is possible. there are a lot of sensible people out there in the middle. they just need to be spoken to and nudged. the. >> i think we have to remember the reason they don't want people to vote because they're afraid people are going to vote for their own interests and i believe that the issue of incarceration, tomas incarceration has a lot to do with the privatization of the prison system. people are making -- it's a business. people are making huge profits from folks in jail. >> one of the things that you just said, we have to remember that we want to use that money to educate them and that is one of the things that people are doing when the states want to get the money back. but they are not talking about what they are going to use th

the question of whether or not chemical weapons were used in syria on a significant scale causing mass death and injury it is not around the question of whether or not the syrian regime is responsible it's around the question of what is the appropriate response to this clear violation of international norms now the russian side of things there has been a phone call between sergey lavrov the. foreign minister here in russia and john kerry in the united states in that phone conversation that lavrov rejected the position that it was the assad regime pointing to the fact that there is evidence that suggests it could have been the rebels who themselves used chemical weapons in the attack he says that the u.s. and other countries should be doing everything that they can to facilitate the u.n. investigation rather than trying to hinder it and push their own agenda he's also alarmed at different nations attempts to destabilize. the peace process and the diplomatic solution and specifically referring to the geneva two talks that were being pushed by the u.s. and by the by the russian government

if you try to understand mass what covers the mass of the object of the inertia of these are the questions feinstein or any physicist sense could satisfactorily answer it is much more philosophical so the question is common but it does not view to the nature of things. >> but with the journalistic headlines this is the particle that explains why matter has mass and were all mask comes from. that is true in a way that it helps explain why particles have the mass that they do and part of the broader theory of physics that tells you how the world works at the subatomic level but with that deeper philosophical level what is mass? these are things almost outside the range of what you could call physics into. >> there is a wonderful video you may have see no ready. >> maybe charismatic.

a particle that energy is not just its mass but also motion. we know many, einstein's point was not just the matter and energy are the same thing but that mass is a form of energy. with his theory of gravity was was that all forms of energy distort space time. that is our understanding of the current modern understanding of gravity, that it is not a force in a lot of the ways we traditionally think about forces in that you have some energy density that distorts space time and objects take a spin trajectory because they are moving in the best possible straight line they can put on a curved surface. so it is true that dart energy and dark matter are different forms of energy and they both affect space time. what is important about them and what is different about them is as the universe is expanding the dark matter is diluting and you get the same amount of dark matter but the universe getting bigger and bigger so it is getting lower and lower. it is not by doing at all because it appears to be energy in the space itself so you have a bigger univ

this is a major cause of mass extinction. the food web is just a way of talking about the networks of basically who eats whom in an ecosystem. what happens is you have a food web where a lot of creatures start going extinct and it causes extinctions among other creatures who fte met them so if your food source guys you've dyed to match. that is one of the way that mass extinctions get started raid you have new die-offs and then you get these knock on mass extinction events that caused the 75% numbers. so there is one thing that we can do as humans that lystrosaurus can't really do are probably couldn't do. so we have the ability in a crisis to basically do what lystrosaurus did which is adapt to new environments. humans have been terrific at doing that. we have managed to a different points in history leave from danger. we have been lucky but we also have a form of memory that goes way beyond just remembering what happened yesterday. it goes way beyond remembering hey if i want to go to sleep tonight they need to dig a hole i

in this case that means supporting the mass killer assad. so, mr. obama a unique opportunity not only to damage assad but to show the world that we are the good guys and that those helping assad are the bad guys. in order to do that the president must be methodical. first, he must convince other countries to support military strikes against syria. seems british, french and turks are already on board. so that's a huge plus. but the president should secure the support as many arab countries as possible beginning beginning with saudi arabia. then president obama should go to congress and ask for a vote affirmation of using military power. talking points believes congress will support the action. the u.s. a should devise a bombing campaign that will degrade assad's forces without the mass killing of civilians and that will not be easy. at the same time, mr. obama must ask the russians and the chinese to support nato action and get them on the record. also, the u.s.a. should lay out explicitly how the barbaric iranian government is helping the war crimin

rid of this ruling is not any reason for us to stop our resistance not only to stop and frisk but mass incarceration over all and all of its consequences including the criminalization of black and latino youth now carl part of this ruling requires a monitor to oversee the stop and frisk actions undertaken by the n.y.p.d. already former assistant district attorney and n.y.c. lead attorney peter and then roth has been selected for the job do you think that this monitor position will have an effective check and balance kind of effect on the discrimination that the judge alleges. well i think that if the monitor is acting under the direction of the justice department then i have a problem with it because the justice department has presided over racial profiling . law enforcement targeting black and latino communities across the country and what we're going to have here is maybe a rounding of the edges of the racist be a legitimate policy that's why i said last year when cornell west and i issued the call to stop stop and frisk and founded the stop mass incarceration network that reforms in

said last year when cornell west and i issued the call to stop stop and frisk and founded the stop mass incarceration network that reforms and tweaks won't cut it stop and frisk has got to go now realistically how does this ruling change the lives of the people who have already been stopped and frisk of which there are approximately five million in new york city alone. well for one and it doesn't change what has already been done to people what it holds out is the potential promise that that practice will no longer be allowed to target blacks and latinos but we just have to remember that stop and frisk itself was a reform of previous abusive n.y.p.d. practices by the giuliani era street crimes unit so what we got was a policy that spread out the targeting of blacks and latinos from elite units to the entire n.y.p.d. that's why i am. suspicious of a new approach that says we're going to reform stop and frisk because if you allow the system that's been responsible for the abuse to reform itself and i'm not talking about new york because new york is not the only place that racial profiling

when did you get reports that georgian troops were massing on the border. and were you aware of the actual plans of the georgian authorities. of course i have been getting reports for a few days prior to that. that there were troops concentrating on the border there were some provocations and incidents. but since this conflict has been simmering for years we had our peacekeeping forces there we tried not to jump to conclusions but still we were alarmed by those reports. in the still of night they opened fire. and it became obvious that the situation was escalating. i still until the very last moment i was hoping they would stop. around one am when i talked to the people who were directly involved in the situation. it became clear that those were not just minor provocations but a full blown attack. intended to turn the situation in south ossetia around by force and overthrow its government. so after that was reported to me i had to make a decision but in. a very difficult decision. i had to give the order to open fire on georgian troops. with. i mean that th
