now, for north america, saw a lot of activity going on out towards the west.coast has been pretty wet these past few days. still a lot more energy coming in off the pacific, so we're going to see all sorts of stormy weather with showers which will impact a lot of the coastline and then, of course, for the southwest, southern california, especially seeing very heavy rainfall and still here, this section will continue to see more of the heavier concentrated amounts of rain in the next couple of days. now snow, of course, will impact the rest of the area, and snow amounts could get pretty high in areas across the four corner states. out towards the east, mostly settled. a little bit of lake-effect impacting the great lakes region. also some snow in toward the new england region and eastern canada. highs 14 in atlanta and 4 for d.c. nice and more pleasant in miami with a high of 23. now, europe today remains quite messy, and it has caused all kinds of problems. here's a look at the situation. we've got footage coming out of heathrow airport now. there has been maj

[applause] >> when we take questions, the mic will be passed around, so if you would wait until you get the microphone before asking your question, i'll just begin the questions, and if any would like to raise their hand, they can be given the microphone in the mean tame. alan, you are most interested in the civil war aspect, but i wondered if you wanted to say a little about what the british hoped to gain by the war of 1812? were they really just interested in neutralizing america while siding the major war in europe, or sometimes this is portrayed as a war as almost attempted reconquer, but really their plans were limited, were they not? >> well, the british empire like the united states has divided leadership, and you're quite right that the majority view is that the british have more important business to deal with in europe which is napolitan fighting for their empire and way of life and prosperity. they felt that the united states had basically committed a soccer punc

all across the united states you have free standing seminaries, there is maybe 245 of them in north america. and they are not connected to universities or colleges but are independent institutions and the vast majority of them are under capitalized they are always having financial struggles. so that is one issue. the other is many of the denominations that support these seminaries are themselves struggling over financial resources. and so it is kind of a system where there is a lot of difficulty and yet great work is being done in the training of leaders for not only congregations but for other forms of ministry too >> we are going to talk more about that because i think pacific school of religion is very unique in many ways and i think one of the reasons you have come back so i want to talk more about that in the next segment please join us as we talk to the president of pacific school of religion. >>> back to mosaic we have been talking to reese about pacific school of religion, he is the new president and i believe for the next three years he will be with us. >> term president. >> great.

for some reason they never really made it to north america.aling with our son, we started with a more fundamental approach to sensory stimulation. we would take him in the fresh air. we would spend a lot of time exposing him to music. we would take him to a mall, which is the ultimate multi-sensory experience. in the course of doing that and reading about sensory stimulation, we discovered what in europe are called snoezelen facilities, and "snoezelen" is the word they use in europe for these facilities. there, for decades, they've been using this equipment to deal with children with autism, all sorts of neurological conditions, physical impairments... and they've discovered that the children learn better, are more relaxed... i mean, the reality is, as we all know, when you're happy, you're healthy. and that's what we're trying to achieve. - and--i don't know if i read correctly--your son was expected to not go beyond the age of 12, and he actually doubled that. - that's correct. - and you would attribute that to these efforts. - we think--we

what about north america? what about the northeast? talk about a very intense blizzard right now moving through new england and all the way into atlanta, canada, we have some severe weather warnings here. winter watches. we've got blizzard warnings in parts of new york, into boston, all the way up into even new brunswick area. lots of snow falling with this one as well as strong winds up to maybe 100 kilometers per hour. the good news is, it'll be moving away quite quickly. the bad news, of course, power outages, transportation problems, as well as lots and lots of flight cancellations. so across -- behind the system, it'll be a bit drier and start to warm up later in the week. but that's later on. in the northwest, more rain falling for coastal areas, interior parts in the cascades and northern rockies, you'll be looking at snow. temperatures are normal in vancouver, 8 for both cities, 1 in winnipeg, and look at the blues down towards atlanta. it is going to be cold seeing minus 2 with, of course, snow, but factor in the windchill, it

what about north america? well, let's talk about the northeast real quickly. we have a very strong system that's off in the atlantic. but take a look at that. look at how strong it is. really windy, incredibly intense, high waves and surf across parts of new england. but in terms of wet weather, we're not going to see so much of it in the next few days. really what's going to drive all the wintery weather we're going to see here is going to be this area, this storm system across the northern plains and in the upper midwest. and this complex of storm systems out in the pacific. what we've got is just a pulse of moisture bringing in a lot of rain across southern california and snow into interior areas, and just widespread snow for mountainous regions. do be careful about that. temperatures across the board are going to be certainly on the cool side in the north. seeing about 5 in vancouver, looking at sleet there for you, 6 in seattle. meanwhile, about 12 in denver, 14 in l.a. certainly on the cool side and wet, like i said. minus 11 in winnipeg, 22 in houston,

sun doesn't even come up in the northern part of north america this time of year.we are eight degrees cooler than 24 hours ago and we have all kinds of wind coming through the area. there is another view of the wind gusts around here and arer here are the wind -- here are the wind gusts that result in single digits where they are sub zero. winds are west at 15. humidity 66% at this time. and at o'hare the windchills calculated at 11. here is europe. you got poland here and you got -- look at the temperatures in this area. here is great britain where they had more snow on ground than at any point since 1966. there is france and germ nee. a lot of traffic accidents in that area and airports shut down in the alps and other locations in europe. the cold air spilling in from the northern latitudes over a good part of the continent. here is the next weather system we watch. this thing has weather advisories in the rockies. we have been talking about this since late last week. there are the winter storm watches and winter weather advisories out west. watch what happens on

but here's the equator, 30 degrees north and 60 degrees north and north america is here and here. let's just talk about the bottom part of this. this is the median of the projected change in precipitation where change is coated by color. red is less. what did you give me there david? 0? well, let's rearrange and i want to talk a little longer everybody is giving me attention here. i'll promise to hasten up a little bit. red is dryer and blue is wetter. and what you can see here is that along the sub tropics the latitudes between 20 degrees north and south and 30 degrees or so there tends to be a trying so the way the atmosphere works if you look at it sideways from along the equator the air is rising along the equator and sinking polar to that in the sub tropics and in our area that's calledd the north pacific high. that's why we don't get much rain. we're under the influence of the north pacific high. what's happening in these climate simulations is those subtropical highs, more or less, are strengthening, on the other hand if you live in seattle you might be more encouraged beca

but when you get to the interior of north america, this is for summer, the temperature rise is in excess of five celsius and colorado does not look very good, naturally in those terms. so, what this suggests - and more than one model shows the same kind of behavior and i'll show you : tha. but this is a transit of southern california showing you the temperature rise across this area, and you see this tremendous gradient of temperature increase as you get in land. of course, that has a profound influence - or would have on all sorts of things including probably water, eco systems, forest fires, human health, all sorts of issues. this is a facet of the latest generations of climate models that really was not recognized five years back or so and whether or not this is going to be um... - this is going to be verified and confirmed by future model runs that's a question, but it looks like land properties, because of the drying that brad mentioned feeding back to the summertime atmosphere, and perhaps causing a potential worse problem to deal within the warm season. next one. this is four diff

let's talk about north america. the cold air expanding over the west. picking up the moisture from the pacific. widespread wintry precipitation. we can expect blizzard-like conditions and heavy snowfall impacting a wide area as well. up to 60 centimeters of snow expected locally. then the snow is reaching as far south as new mexico and arizona today. that could certainly delay some travel conditions. i do expect dangerous driving conditions as well. for the southeastern corner, temperatures easing here. the warm southerly wins helping to produce thunderstorms down in the south, texas, mississippi, as well as louisiana. we've got 24 degrees in houston today. 24 in miami. a different story out west. dropping to minus 5 in denver. only 1 degree in vancouver with sunny spells. as for europe then, the winter precipitation is targeting the east again for places like poland and belarus and western russia getting substantial amounts of snow, blowing snow as well. down towards the southeast, turkey dealing with more showers, cold rain and snow. but the bulk of e

and i don't mean that we don't have integrity but, for example, i just put out a memo to all of north america there will be no salary increases this year. we are going to put a small contingency to the side so if we see issues where we're not competitive we can address it. because the structural cost of a 2 or 3% increase after five years i've got 15% structural cost increase i can't have that in a company that's in a very cyclical industry. i mean, it's unbelievable how predictably cyclical this industry is over the last 100 years. every 5, 3, 7 years, up down, up down. and going back to the carlisle days, the great carlisle investors here -- before the great recession we actually intellectualized the industry. and in a market you look for cyclical companies and this is a cyclical companies and i don't get an opportunity to be a portfolio manager anymore. we're betting on a cyclical industry and that's why i want a zero debt balance sheet so we can invest without canceling and getting a ratcheting in our capital programs. so we had $26 billion in debt before the bankruptcy. we have less than

let's head to north america.e've got a storm system pushing in further towards central locations of the u.s. this is going to be spreading snow across the northern plains and down into the midwest, too. you can see about 30 centimeters in wisconsin. as that storm pushes further in towards the gulf, it's going to be mostly rain down here, of course, maybe some intense thunderstorms too. that's something to watch out for. widespread snow pushes into quebec. but it isn't going to be very heavy. you do need to watch out for the wind, though, because it will be quite intense. temperaturewise, a little bit warmer in toronto. no negative figures for you here on friday. 2 for the high, new york city also 2, partly cloudy. 6 in washington, d.c. up in winnipeg, a very sunny day, but minus 18 is your high. okay, i want to show you some photographs now as we head into europe of what's been going on. now, this is, first of all, germany, a beautiful scene here. but not so pretty when we take to the streets and you have to face

now, across north america it is remaining a little bit messy in the west. strong rains remain.for upper elevations. also an area of snow breaks off in central canada and moves in toward the northern plains. so we could be seeing five to ten, even 15 centimeters of snowfall within the next couple of days. out east finally settling down a little bit more. but that cold weather remains. minus 1 in chicago. only up to 2 in d.c. and finally moving into europe and it does remain quite messy really across the entire region again today. in the south, areas like the mediterranean, and the iberian peninsula too we are talking about rains. and heavy rainfall amounts are going to be possible as well. the iberian peninsula, it's been a wet past couple of days for you here. now, for the rest of continental europe it's going to be a lot more colder precipitation that we'll be talking about. cold rain, sleet, as well as snow or a mixture of all of that included. snow really has been spreading from western sections of europe over the past few days and in fact paris got a nice dusting of snow on

on we go to north america. all the winter activity is going to be contained in the northern half of the united states and up into canada. i'll tell you why, we have got our jet stream that is dipping a little bit far south, several lows just placed among that. that means the snow will be anywhere from the intermountain west, the cascades, all the way up to even new england there. heaviest snow falling in the dark blue areas fr all the way back just into the lower midwest here. and you can see why. there is that pulse of moisture that will move its way to the northeast quickly over the next 24 hours. temperaturewise, well, it is going to be very chilly indeed where it snows. minus 11 in winnipeg. just freezing in chicago, toronto, 4 degrees. atlanta, 13, miami, cooler, 22. houston, a little better, 23 for the high on friday. and a pair of 6s in vancouver and seattle. along we go to europe and here as well it has just been a wintry mess all week long. there is going to be some good news and i'll tell you that in

let's head now to north america. we've seen lots of wintery weather this week. i want to show you some of the video coming out of the midwest and down into the southeast, as well. this is coming out of locations like ohio as well as indiana. winter weather chaos just ensued. combination of snow and sleet caused hundreds of road accidents. down further towards the southeast and the carolinas and georgia, as well, drivers abandoned their cars when they were just undrivable because of these very slick icy roads. just so dangerous. many, many accidents. in addition, schools and businesses across the region were closed. and power outages and things like that, as well. unfortunately, i don't have much in the way of good news for you. we've got a front line passing through the southeast here. couple of low pressure systems developing, and this is going to push up towards the mid-atlantic. this is where it's going to get icy again. you need to be aware as we head into the weekend, could cause some problems. down towards the south, it's going to be mostly rain and thunde
