a negative mass balance means that it is shrinking. the older a mass balance record is the more valuable it becomes. long-running studies provide a historical average against which this year's data can be compared, showing how the climate has changed and what may happen in the future. >> the mass balance data that's been collected by the jirp program is an extremely important record because it goes back as far as 1946, and there are probably only about 30 glaciers in the world that have been monitored for mass balance for 10 or more years. >> a glacier exists here because snow that falls in the winter does not melt completely in the summer. the relative amounts of snowfall and melt represent this mass balance. like a positive bank account, a positive mass balance indicates that the glacier is growing. on the flip side, if the glacier has less snowfall and more melt, the glacier becomes smaller. so how have generations of scientists come to grips with the estimation of the health of this 3,900-square-kilometer ice sheet? they dig. a lot

lastly in southeastern mass and the capes. so my estimate is north of the pike, north of boston, one to three inches. south of boston, south of the pike, for a distance, three to six, and then roughly hartford to providence, potential of six to 10 inches of snow. a lot of wind potential around the capes. 29 is our temperature right now. tonight we'll drop to the teens, along the inland areas. 20's along the coast. we've got the battle between cold air to the north, and just south of the carolinas it's very warm. just look at this. this is estimated gusts from one of our computer models. atlantic city, 11:00 tonight, 36. tomorrow morning, 55-mile-per-hour gusts, could be over 60. nantucket, 60 to 70-mile-per-hour gusts. we're talking about a lot of wind, especially for the capes and islands. there is the high wind warning as well as the coastal flood watch. for late tomorrow night around 11:00, that high tide, also for the high tide, most especially that comes around 11:00 on sunday morning. it is the area on the south shore do

every place where the mass murders occur united states a gun-free zone. if they don't know somebody's in there or know that somebody's in there or might be in there with a gun or two or three or five people, whatever, they're going to be less likely to go into those places and commit these crimes. >> so, mark, what's your reaction to that, doing away with gun-free zones. is that something you're going to be having a dialogue about? >> as a son of a police officer, i can tell you that i -- i personally don't think that civilians ought to be enforcing the law, they're not trained for it. but then again, you knowing i understand the logic in gun-free zones if you're advertising that people here are not armed that causes the bad guys to go in and do things. but i really don't -- i really don't believe that that's the case. i think that getting the proper restrictions in place who has access to a firearm is the answer. >> on the campaign trail, we're hearing from some candidates who say any executive order like this based on what we've been -- what's been desc

anywhere south of the mass pike anywhere south of the mass pike, you are at risk of seeing a couple of sprinkles through 7 a.m. after 7 a.m., from plymouth down to the cape and islands where we have got that little bit of light rain. things could brighten up a bit here during the afternoon, but you can see the hints of snow on the map. so at 3 p.m. as kids are coming home from school, northern mass home from school, northern mass, southern new hampshire about we will be watching for some sprinkles passes through the boston area during the evening commute. and then by about 7 p.m., the flurries is going to fit right over southeastern massachusetts. not much comes of it, it is just something you should be aware of if you are doing any traveling today. but 42 degrees in boston this afternoon and lawrence. 37 in worcester. 42 in hyannis. the measurable precipitation stays really stays real low. tonight 20s back. a cooler overnight and tomorrow similar temperatures. a lot of lower 40s on the map, and tomorrow we will see increasing clouds. this is the nor'easter late tomorrow that is likely

, northern mass. the reason for that is at first later on tonight, a little bit of mist or drizzle may fall in the temperature will be near 32. we get the heavier precipitation starting as rain but it may flip over or mix with heavy wet snow later in the storm. especially in the higher terrain like the berkshires and the storms are always complicated. 37 in boston now. breezes off the water at nine miles per hour. right now, the wind is coming out of the east and will continue to tonight. tomorrow morning, as we get the heavier precipitation, the wind will go to the east to the northeast to the north. instead of the mild ocean wind, we will draw down slightly colder air from the north. maybe enough to cause and wet snow. get borderline. it is going to be a tossup in some areas between heavy rain morning. right now, a little bit above freezing but there is room for it to drop a couple of degrees in this area which is why there could still be freezing drizzle. .it is 32 right now around the cape, upper

with the more media mass shootings they're done by people who snap and go nuts. they don't have any previous background or mental health background. on the other level more gang level violence elevel. people who are able to get their guns through the background check isn't required. it is curious to see him using background checks as an important thing when the problem he says he is trying to solve would in almost all cases not be affected by it >>> do you think, though, regardless of your views about gun control, do you think - the media is not making this up, the number of shootings in which more and more people are killed, is at a much higher rate than it has been? >> there was a one-year blip in it, yes, but they have been on a downward slide for the last 25 years >>> gun suicide. more people who die from a bullet wound is self-inflicted. >> that's true. that's actually important to remember because most of the political energy behind this is not about suicide. it's about gun murders, about the scary things. these big numbers you hear about gun deaths are sui

. >> yes focusing on mass incarceration, for young black men today, the chances that a young man will serve time in prison, it is one in three and it rises 60% if you do not finish high school. so we see these experiences become something normal and it is expected, more common than employment, then other institutional attachments we think are constructive for society. and we are reaching those proportions, mass incarceration, i think there is a clear sign we have gone too far. >> it is a shocking statement. to say that prison has become a normal and anticipated marker for young blacks in cities today. jason: it was not for me. what concerns me is not the number of people in prisons, it is whether the incarceration rate is matching the crime rate and i think that should be the focus. new york city homicide rates have been in the multiples for 200 years, criminology wise, new york has been for most of its existence, a very violent place. even if you put aside gun crimes, americans kill each other without guns at higher rates than other industrialized nations, we do not know why that is.

he's made at least 12 public speeches in the aftermath of mass shootins. oftentimes calling on congress to take action. here's a look back at some of those many statements. >> we have a pattern now of mass shootings in this country that has no parallel anywhere else in the world, and there's some steps we could take not to eliminate every one of these mass shootings, but to improve the odds that they don't happen. i've had to make statements like this too many times. communities have had to endure tragedies like this too many times. we come together filled with sorrow for the 13 americans that we have lost. with gratitude for the lives that they led, and with the determination to honor them through the work we carry on. i have come here tonight as an american, who like all americans, to pray with you today and we'll stand by you tomorrow. and the federal government stands ready to do whatever's necessary to bring whoever's responsible for this heinous crime to justice. all of us are heartbroken by what's happened, and i offered the thoughts and prayers not

no snow mass needed. no accumulation, and as we hit thursday, we start with sunshine and clouds will be on the increase and this is the storm system that we will have an eye on as we move toward the end of the week. no longer a nor'easter. looks like a different storm system. a clipper system here. just want to point out 47 today drops to highs around 40 for wednesday, thursday, friday. cooler, though, high only 38 degrees and we see that snow potential coming mostly from the north. the nor'easter expected to stay off-shore, but there is still a lot of wiggle room for both of those storm systems and that is what we will be watching closely in theening couple of day and fine tuning the track of both of them to see what will bring us if any precipitations of snow. highs back into the 40s. back to you. >>> all right, shiri. people living in one coastal community are watching as their homes teeter on the edge of an eroding cliff. these homes are just south of san francisco. was battered by el nino storms wash

that snow is going to get up to about the mass pike. then it is going to struggle to move northward from there. we keep telling you about being on the northern edge. the deeper purples you see, southern half of connecticut, that would be the heavy snow. right along the coast there might be a little mixing for a while because of the easterly wind. eventually it should be straight snow there as well. somewhat heavier to the south. 11:00 tomorrow night snowing hard over southeastern mass and the cape and that can continue into the wee hours of the morning sunday. latest thinking on how much to expect and whatever you are looking at here could change and second of all we may have an even sharper change in amounts over a smaller number of miles than we can forecast. right now north of the pike, north of boston i'd say 1 to 3 inches of snow. south of the pike and south of boston 3 to 6 inches of snow. from about providence to plymouth or marshfield on south 6 to 10 inches which includes the cape and the island. even more for new york city, ph

i think it's more likely we see some heavier snow near the mass pike down through southeastern mass at least enough to have to get the plows back out on the road. certainly would be the case through southeastern mass looking at current set up. if it's just further south and north that would be the game changer. high tides to watch. 11:00 p.m. saturday and 11:00 sunday morning. especially that sunday morning to north wind may have pocket of moderate flooding. the storm would have to adjust further to north to get coastal flooding than that. looks like major coastal flooding. keep an eye on the storm as we go into the weekend. guys? >> sunday afc championship will see two long-time rivals go head to head. this will also be the latest edition in a sibling rivalry for family in colorado. the weeblers named their first son brady after that pats won bowl. then they named payton. brady roads for the pats. >> we definitely already have four underneath belt. how many does he have? >> two. oh, yeah that's right. >>> payton manning only has one super bowl ring not two. >>> he will only watch if t

starts around 2:00 in the morning on the mass pike. heavy rain is going to move through southeastern mass and the cape. what a horrible day! but the entire day won't be that way. hills, the berkshires, you may be switching between rain and wet snow with borderline temperatures at all levels of the atmosphere. the mix area may try to move farther east in a heavy burst of precipitation late morning. then the precipitation ends early afternoon. going to -- i'm confident it's going to end before the patriots are playing their football game. now, in terms of how much moisture we're going to get out of this and snow, the best chance of a few inches would be the berkshires as well as this region of new hampshire and the of wooster county. there will also be wind, tomorrow morning especially, with the strongest winds on the cape, until early afternoon. late afternoon, around the start of the game, the winds quiet down some and quiet down a lot later on. now, in terms of the seven-day forecast, we have pretty much covered tomorrow. you is the w

by lunch time along the mass pike. after that, the movement north is going to be a struggle against very dry air across vermont, new hampshire, and maine while the snow gets heavier in the southern part of our area. so that's the reason why you're seeing winter storm warnings in effect for northern connecticut, northern rhode island, interior southeastern mass. but notice how by early sunday anything significant is just about over and over completely shortly after that. you'll even enjoy a sunny sunday afternoon. my best estimate on snow amounts, north of boston, north south of boston, south of the pike, 3 to 6. then from providence to plymouth on south, 6 to 10. one thing i want to caution you, though, with this. we may wind up with an even greater amount of difference in even a smaller amount of miles than i can even forecast here. that's what we have to continue to watch and even a 10-mile shift in the storm north sends these lines northward. makes a big divens where you live. we'll stay right on top of it. >> all r

down through southeast everybody mass. we've melted a lot of that snow over the last day or so, thanks to temperatures being so warm yesterday and even warm overnight. wind is out of the west. 12mph from boston. out through worcester right now. that westerly wind is going the try the drag in some cooler air and draw some temperatures essentially from the low 40s now into the mid-30s later this morning. then we'll bounce back up into here we go, couple of sprinkles and light showers down through the cape and the islands back into buzzard's bay. this stretch along the south coast of connecticut and down into long island. this batch of moisture will not last all day long. for next few hours we have the risk of a couple of sprinkles and light showers across southeastern mass. otherwise the day is dry and clouds transition into a mix of clouds and sun late morning into the afternoon from northwest to southeast. now, a few days ago what we were watching was for a wave of low pressure to develop close to florida. also this energy

but when you look at mass population, there is a significant drop which the mass population is distrusting. it is a 16-point gap between the informed public's distrust of the society's institutions and mass population. code do we have an explanation for this gap? there are a few things going on. there is an inversion of the old information infrastructure, which is top-down. information and knowledge decisions were being made from the top, to the general benefit of society. that has changed with the collapse of the command-and-control model. everyone has access to myriad ofn, via a channels. what that means is that the mass population has the opportunity to find information, access information that they want, and that lines to their beliefs, so they are much more self selective. it is the collapse of that control model. it is a real inversion pyramid we are seeing. stephen: one thing i find interesting in this survey is that is mrs. are more trusted than governments. is that new? >> it is the 2008 and 2009, government surged. it was seen that the government was going to hold the world toget
