(man) the overtone series is really quite simple. behind every acoustically generated tone, there is a series of other tones which are happening simultaneously, and this series of tones extends above what we call the fundamental tone, and what we call the fundamental tone is usually the tone we can identify and sing back. ♪ silent night, ♪ holy night, (shapiro) when you begin to talk about the notes of music, you have to talk about different parts to those sounds. every musical sound has four parameters. it has its pitch, and we've been looking at pitch in terms of the frequency of the sine wave or the fundamental. it has its pitch-- how high or low is the sound? it has its amplitude-- how loud or soft is the sound? it has its timbre-- how complex or simple, how many overtones go into making up this sound, and what is their relationship and proportions? and it has its duration-- how long does the sound last? if i, as a composer, write a piece, it's decisions about those four parts of each note that really determine which note goes wh

of we have law professor spencer overton.first, just over two months ago in a 5-4 decision the court require states and regions with a history of discrimination to get approval before changing their voting laws. texas announced a voighte voter i.d. law? >>> the justice department sued texas over the law. why was the voting rights act passed? >> in response to a civil rights movement that said w the right to vote is fundamental in a democracy. it rectified acts of discrimination in which african/american were denied the right to vote and protect the rights. to on be able to participate effectively. pand you refer to act that required for southern states. >> take us into the present day. the. >> some sections are and don't want people to be denied to vote base based on race or any other kik characteristics. of section three, if there is a systematic, federal courts can fashion remedies. it is out moded because jim cr crowe with the temporary pro?rigz 1965 thankfully are no longer there. >> talk about sections 4 and 5. >> we are

state department a couple of days before, there are of course political overtones with a number of lawmakers in washington saying that this has been done to make it look like they are on top of the situation, others saying that this is just caving in. what sort of message do you take? >> it seems the u.s. is signaling an allowance of the united states to be manipulated by the terrorist threat. encouragingectively them to become more active and from a few months ago are still very much on the mind of the politicians in washington. how much is that hanging over the u.s. administration? >> it is certainly hanging over the head of the state department and president obama. as you recall, there was a great deal of enhance security requests and the denial of them on the part of the state department, as a consequence several staff members were killed. i do not think president obama wants to repeat that, so they are doing whatever they can do to make sure they do not lose another ambassador to attacks in the middle east. >> earlier you said that you thought this was sending out the wrong message. wha

the fan goer who shot this video said there were clear racial overtones.ther clown played with his lips on the obama mask. give credit to lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who denounced what happened. but moments ago, we found out a sitting member of congress went even farther than endorsing this. texas republican steve stockman is inviting the rodeo clown to perform in texas. he's attacking those of us who are offended saying something a fair goer said compares to a klan rally and we're attacked for being offended by it? stockman says quote, the liberal reaction is straight out of alinsky. they want to crush the set by polarizing anyone who questions obama even if it's a rodeo clown with a harmless gag. a harmless gag? here's a reminder of what congressman stockman is so eager to defend. >> hey let me tell these people about who we got helping. obama's going to have to just stay there. watch out for those bulls. this bull's going to get you obama. he's going to get you! >> now a sitting member of congress invited the clown to his state? speaker boehner

that's what the overtone was from the police. >> they were not buying amanda's story. it was hazy at best. was there opportunity? yes. but was there motive? >> guiliano is the kind of person who can come to a crime scene and see a beautiful english girl laying dead in a pool of blood and fantasize a four-way orgy. >> to him, the primary questions were obvious. did meredith die at the hands of amanda knox and her boyfriend? and how? as it turned out, the answers almost didn't matter. >> there's always been this idea that there's just something more going on. people couldn't quite put their finger on it. and amanda was the best scapegoat, if you will. meet the newest member of the quicken loans family: j.d. power and associates has ranked quicken loans highest in the nation in customer satisfaction... i say "family," because we've been blessed with this honor for 3 years in a row... rest assured we'll treat all of your mortgage needs with tender loving care. amazing client satisfaction: it's a quicken loans family value. call 800-quicken or go to quickenloans.com to expe

>> well, because of the overton window.t's this concept that certain things are considered part of regular political discourse and certain things are not, and it's completely arbitrary. this is why ted cruz, somebody who really has no grasp of government whatsoever and never has done anything constructive that would justify listening to ted cruz gets listened to on the sunday talk shows and so on that and so forth. it is in fact true that the progressive budget caucus budget would balance the budget much quicker than any other proposed budget, even the lunatic fictitious ripe budget, which is makes up numbers and fills in blanks that remain blanks. the fact is that this core concept is volleyed in the prospective budget. the core concept is if you're serious about ending the fiscal government and the good afternoon paying its bills, you must raise taxes on people with money. the problem with the right wing is they've put out this idea that the real problem in america is that rich people don't have enough money, so we need t

i have a nephew who was in school and was bullied and there were sexual overtones to it and the result is he left the school and i spent time working with the school and my district and it wasn't my area and educate them about what bullying meant and in the most heinous way described to them and it went no where and that gave me the lesson in life we have children that are in fear when they go to school so they don't go and my priority is to have safe schools and they can be educated and create their path to a successful future and it's a healthy environment and bullying prevents that for so many kids. when terreesa and i addressed issues around truancies and one of the common themes and i saw this before with sexually exploited cases and kids were afraid to go to school because of the terrorism going on and with bullying it's flat out terrorism for the victim and the recipient of it. our efforts are strong because we don't want kids to feel that the only choice is don't go to school or find a new school to go to and also gave us the opportunity to look at the children that are bullied

it's interesting that another of her songs, gloomy sunday, also had this kind of dark overtone to it., and i think that there were a lot of people-- john hammond, the record producer, among them-- who felt that this song represented a bad turn in her career. you know, she was leaving behind these ebullient things that she had sung early on-- the teddy wilson stuff and the benny goodman stuff-- and turning to this darker, bleaker, more somber torch songy sorts of selections. and i think that's true. this song represents a fulcrum in her career. it's really a transitional moment when she starts to sing it. and gloomy sunday was supposedly also banned, but for very different reasons. i mean, gloomy sunday-- the so-called hungarian suicide song-- you know, i think that it was largely hype, but there were stories of people jumping out of windows after they heard it-- you know, distraught lovers whose despair was rekindled by hearing the song. i don't think those stories were true, necessarily. and certainly, it was a very different kind of song. the message was very different than strange

look at it and polish it up, but doing so with the dramatic overtone do it will allow things to be ignoredll not have a conversation unless we have a true, honest and straightforward one about what does need to be changed about the law. >> now, there's that conversation. then there's this, the fact that your client was acquitted, and your client is living in this country and there's ads like this that, you know, obviously put out a different picture, right? they presume that something was very wrong and that this was a wrong verdict. now, people are very passionate about this issue but nonetheless he's a citizen and he's allowed to live his life freely right now. does this ad further damage his reputation? make him even less safe? >> it absolutely does. what it does is sort of perpetuate the belief a week after this event happened in february of 2012 and says that george zimmerman is some racist murderer when all of the facts that have been supported by evidence and not by emotion suggest that he's not. unfortunately my hope maybe sort of polly annish as it was, people would listen to the

judge overton, a best friend of the family, wrote an essay about the scandal of not being married. they did remarry. he invited them to marry. that theyton said went to mississippi and, as they say, they were married. he would not go any further than that. >> what andrew jackson do after his term? had his wife tossed emily. she died in the second administration. oversaw the margaret o'neill scandal. known of loose morals married a member of the cabinet. they would not accept or. -- her. she had authority. the women would not call on her or receive her. mrs. jackson was not treated that way. but, peggy was not a very nice person. >> national. ille.shv jackson died 1828. he is writing to his friend and he describes the onset of rachel's illness. he says that she was a few days hence. suddenly, she was violently attacked with pains in her left shoulder. breathtraction of the caused suffocation. it is clear that she is in serious condition. she talks about going to washington. she assumes that she will get better and will go. not andately, she did she passed away later in the day. like

i don't think there is a racial overtone to this. two blacks, one white. they were thugs. unfortunately it happens all the time. however, i think the question is legitimate, you know, if you are going to weigh in on one, kate, you weigh in on the other. what do you say? >> i think the president and jesse jackson and al sharpton and some others jumped at the chance to weigh in when a horror would further their political goals. and that's a horrible thing. it's a horrible reality but the fact that today jesse jackson finally said that this kind of violence should be frowned upon. that was his outrage. but, bill, when it served the president's agenda to sort of stir up racial animosity, he compares trayvon martin to what his son would look like. well, we actually. >> bill: are you saying that you believe president obama wanted to stir up racial animosity? is that what you are saying? >> i think he absolutely wanted to stir up suspicion on racial boundaries. >> bill: i disagree. i think that sharpton and others wanted to stir up racial animosity. >> the president jumped right

every day had these kinds of ritualistic overtones, and that's what this overlay was in the case. >> guilianio and the police were not buying amanda's story. it was hazy at best. was there opportunity? yes. but was there motive? >> guilianio is the kind of person that can come to a crime scene and see a beautiful english girl lying dead in a pool of blood and fantasize a four-way orgy. >> to him, the primary questions were obvious. did meredith die at the hands of amanda knox and her boyfriend, and how? as it turned out, the answers almost didn't matter. >> there's always been this idea that there's just something more going on and people couldn't quite put their finger on it and amanda was the best scapegoat. it can apply the brakes. cs introducing the all-new 2014 chevrolet impala with available crash imminent braking. always looking forward. while watching your back. that's american ingenuity to find new roads. and recently the 2013 chevrolet impala received the j.d. power award for highest ranked large car in initial quality. because what you dont know can hurt you.urance, what i

and the fbi did, and guess what, they didn't find there was any racial overtones, whatsoever. >> the family, trayvon martin family and lawyers said, it's not about race. let's not make it about race. >> well, there you go. >> eric, the point eric is making is the right one. it's not about race until you put it into the context of the media coverage, and political interest in trayvon martin, whether you believe it is race or not. the amount of it was so large that it begs for a balance. that's where the race thing comes in, the big story to me is always going to be how political correctness affects the incidents of crime, when you cannot describe a suspect for fear of racism in a newspaper arm or a flyer. you can't report on a crime, you might be seen as racist, so the trayvon martin case, because it is white hispanic on black, that will get coverage. these other things won't. i believe the chris lane thing, cnn is calling it a thrill killing, not a race crime. why can't it be both. >> i don't have any question about that, i think that was a race crime too. no question, if zimmerman h

recent riots here also have strong racial overtones.y began as protests against the roma minority. the short taxi ride to the suburbs, a trip very few tourists take show an example of where the problem lice. 13 families live here. most households have no one who works. one man trying to change that told me they have to break a jobless culture passed from one generation to another. they live behind high fences and walls. >> this is because of the high frequency of traffic on the road, but this is not the only reason. there are security reasons. if the members of the workers parties or the local nazis come, this is our defense. >> as in most central european countries, there's been a strong anti roma feeling here. many worry that is not just coming from the extreme right. many in the mainstream are taking part in the protests or supporting them. the opinion on the sheets is sharply divided. one founder of the right wing workers parties said czechs and roma's can't live together. >> it is problem take, because the gypsies refuse to integra

don't know that a lot of people would be opposed entirely to that sort -- because it seems like an overton window kind of approach to me. let's propose just burning it down, so to speak, not literally, and then if we can't get that what best tactic helps us to at least move the ball a little further down the field to our advantage? >> you've seen the house under speaker boehner vote 40 times to defund or delay obama care. the commitment is there. but as dan pointed out and matt and you, we have one house of one branch. we're doing everything that we can. i think if we want to do this we need more pieces, as you put it, let's get out in this next election, get us a republican senate, and start to take another piece off the board. the commitment and the will is there. we just need the ability to make it happen. >> but if the republicans implode over this, i mean, if theyrail get into a place where they start calling each other names like you're not a real republican, you don't have any guts, you don't have any courage -- >> that's always going to happen. >> yeah, i know. but doesn't that aff

now, judge overton, the best riend of the family, wrote an essay about the scandal of the not being married because they did remarry. advised them to marry when jackson became famous and that tennessee. the whole detail. he gets up. goes to mississippi, to natchez. say, they were married. he wouldn't go any further than that. >> what did andrew jackson do the rest of his term? two terms, really? as far as the first lady? hostess? wife's niece for the second administration. he died in the second administration. she was popular. but she left over the flutter of the margaret o'neill scandal of very loose he -- a morals -- known for loose morals. he married a member of the the indian expert. the women would not notably john calhoun's huffy wife and would not accept her. she had authority. her political position was -- the women wouldn't call on her receive her. it became an ugly thing. jackson apeers to have paralleled this with his wife's treatment. not treated was like that in washington. peggy was not a very nice person. curator at the herm taj outside of nashville. is a letter that jackson

amount -- leadership or around the world depends upon example of american democracy and american overtones. what makes us different from other countries is not just our ability to secure our nation but the way we do it, in open debate and the democratic process. in other words, it is not enough for me as president to have confidence in these programs. the american people need to have confidence in them as well. and that is why i'm over the last few weeks, i have consulted members of congress who have come at this issue from many different respective's and i have asked the oversight board to review where our counterterrorism efforts and our values come into tension, and i directed our national security to be more transparent and to pursue reforms of our laws and practices. so i would like to discuss for specific steps, not all- inclusive, but specific steps we will be taking to move the debate forward. first, i will work with congress to pursue appropriate reforms to section 215 of the patriot act, the program that collects telephone records. as i said, this program is an important tool in

the problem is there are so many allegation of political overtones in this. i will get to the op-ed piece that was elijah cummings, congressman cummings and congressm congressman levine submitted in the subpoena "washington post." but there's so many allegations they claim, that there's the targeting of the president's political enemies, this whole business that all this targeting business is political. and i'm trying to get it out of the political sphere, and it's not perfect to get a special prosecutor. but what are we going to do, just keep battling it out and let the democrats say it's political? >> no, no, no. i -- look, my view is, i'd like to hear what they have found in these hearings, in their further investigations. i'd like to hear what they have to say in september and october. maybe by october and november i'll be with you on this, it's time to get a special prosecutor. my point would be this, i think the american people, this is so pernicious, this is so dangerous, this is so horrific in its implications for democracy, i think the country would
