they were the real criminals of the period. that produces a resurgence of all the conflicts of the 1960s, and hellman is caught right in the middle of it. she is accused of people on the left as well as people who have now moved to the right, trying to denounce the soviet union, all of her life, stone is thrown at her repeatedly and repeatedly and unlawfully. among the by product of fact, for a variety of political reasons, we often mary mccarthy who was in a difficult political faction and then hellman was. she had been attractive in her younger days and anti-stalinists she had a long history with lillian hellman. let me read you the peace and you will see it. hellman has just published a book that is less well-known than the others, as it should be. in 1980s, mary mccarty lit a match to the firestorm that would serve as a metaphor for the 20th century. the moment provided a ready supply of fuel. debate over the legitimacy and sexual preferences and the values and the traditional nucleus of the family. declining opposition to

there is a lot of that is not clear of the reconstructions period. we cannot look back as a story of white supremacy. there are? that dolphus can exploit. you say something of a ladies' man. strikingly handsome. [laughter] with piercing brown eyes the olive skin and irrepressible sense of confidence. most were sharecroppers and former slaves and had rejoiced when slavery ended but it was light green grass seared by the summer sun. he may have remembered his grandfather who kept to medicare fall distance. dolphus was born a slave to the enslaved teen-age girl and the man who is a tendency he may never have known. >> he moved to birmingham alabama in 1880? >> looking at fueling the profits from the automobile industry. and the pulitzer prize-winning book there was an awful history about the time dolphus shows up but what is he able to do that challenge says about this period? >> it was not segregated early on we think of it as iconic but dolphus had white neighbors. someone who wanted to make his mark. he buys property. >> another property owner. [laug

most of the period. it is kind of easy to do that when you have got surges in tax revenues. if you look at the late 1990's, the last few years of the clinton administration, part of that had to do with republicans and congress. and an awful lot of that had to do with the unexpected surge in productivity in the united states, and therefore in, that had to do with other issues. and there was an initial public offering, and the second half was a pleasantly unexpected period, where productivity growth, income growth, tax revenue surge, and that is a big piece about the fiscal surplus for a few years, so the first thing that i want us to think about humility is there are awful lot of politicians on both sides of the aisle that they claim to a lot of economic activity that happens during their period in office, and i suggest that one thing we do not know about is how they sustain economic growth. but as scholars and practitioners have tried to unbundle, it has something to do with the basic federal government

the only difference between postseason and regular season is one 15-minute period only. so if it's still tied after a 15-minute period it stays tied and each team gets two time outs. but it's good to essentially have the overtime the same in the postseason and regular season. >> kenny: last year we saw two overtime periods, tim tebow the 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage against pittsburgh and then giants and 49ers in the nfc championship game. >> mike: right. the other thing, goose, too, is i think the biggest rule change is in instant replay. last year they took all scoring plays and coaches couldn't challenge. all plays that were ruled a score. they left it up to the replay official upstairs to decide whether or not it needed to be reviewed. and the league was happy to that. it didn't add time to games. it took the responsibilities off of a coach to challenge. and now they've done the same thing on turnovers. >> tony: one question i get a lot, mike, and you wanted to ask you about. a lot of people ask me about hands to the face. when is that call

the period of empire even the post colonial period westernize ation has been associated certainly in the popular mind in the mythical mind with the notion of a modernization mean associated with western eyes ation so people do articulate their desires in that way however wrong or i waver misperceive that might be this is why i feel we can jettison the idea but we've got it we are complicating it even as we speak now we're showing the complexities of it it's very simple you know sometimes you talk with me where when i'm waiting for. to check my flight seat for a reservation for instance and i talk to united airlines person in bombay i know exactly although they have a they call themselves bill or willie or something i know exactly where it's from bombay i know the guy's name is probably very contagious and i asked him i said look first of all let's drop the mouse secondly tell me people you know people say that your coolies you'll be used for this you'll be used by western companies by outsourcing companies what do you feel about it they say oh mr barber thank god that we can talk hon

united states where we were a little bit more free than others i think one of the best periods that you could look at in american history is the time that we were on the gold standard some people talking about the gilded age there was no there were roughly no middle class that well there was a burgeoning middle class that was the growth of the middle class in the united states when we had a lot of it was the growth of the robber baron well this was the demick. president grover grover cleveland who was one of the best presidents in american history that we had one of the last good democrat in the in eight hundred eighty seven in his speeches his annual address to the nation is his state of the union address said that we are seeing corporations rise up and put their irony on the necks of the

us, if you're really looking for hammers and nails, why not just have a threat of a misdemeanor, period, of incarceration. the other thing i would say is that the respect trend has actually has been to implement shorter periods of flash incarceration so you actually provide an immediate sanction to address a particular problem which has had -- based on the research i've seen, greater success in changing behaviors because it's more of a cognitive behavior model and like a reward-punishment immediate system, whereas just putting people in state prison and browsing he -- warehousing them for extended periods of time where we all know going to prison doesn't mean you have access to illegal nhra catics, that doesn't seem either to necessarily be a solution. -- illegal narcotics that that doesn't seem either to be necessarily a solution. >> i promised to marty we'd be careful to give him equal time here. >> that's all right. that's all right. i already feel the glow of san francisco's progressive approach to things. and in defense to the other counties, i think that, you know, that's the chal

that provides time that these adjustments can take place, not in a short period of time, but over periods of time, that move to three, six, nine, 12 months as opposed to seven days. i think that's a very big change, and i think in discussions about the liquidity coverage ratio, the reduction of intraday critics tension will force those issues. and again, the benefit that we see to investors is at that point the collateral becomes more stable, the ability to value and to make choices and to do due diligence that mr. meier has laid out becomes a much easier task over time. >> let me ask you a little bit of a different track question, and that's because your bank has been involved in the arrangements made on the spot markets, supply crude to certain refineries and buy refined products. and that struck me as some sort of systemic risk given the volatility that can occur in natural resource markets. does that play at all in terms of the financing through repo? >> it's not an active asset in the repo world. >> ok. thank you. >> thank you very much. one of the points that mr. eichner made in his

it grows to about $135 over that 20-year period. we have also gone through and looked at your capital plan and brought the level of investment up to 15 miles per year. that moves it towards a 100-year replacement cycle for the sewer mains as well as the water mains. in these numbers, part of what you have stacked up is a steady state of best management practices for repair replacement for what our existing system is, including the 995 mile sewer mains, replacing 15 miles each year. president moran: the assumed rate of inflation is what? >> 3%. that has typically been what inflation has been over the last 30-40 years. if you compare this bill increased over 20 years, it is needing to increase about 3.9%, almost 4% per year. 1% more than inflation per year. we can fit a lot within the inflationary changes. we cannot quite make it exactly 3%. that would be the existing operation, the existing repair and replacement. taking those into account. the next slide looks at phase one of the three phases that dan and cara an outline for you. ba

generation period ever period when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world i don't know what the fuck you're talking about somebody. sure used to be. we stood up for what was right. we fought for moral reasons we passed laws struck down laws for moral reasons we waged wars on poverty not poor people. we sacrificed we cared about our neighbors we put our money where amal's were and we never beat our chests we built great big things made on godly technological advances explored the universe cure disease and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy. we reached for the stars. acted like men we aspired to intelligence we didn't belittle it it didn't make us feel inferior. but in identify ourselves by we voted for in the last election and we didn't scare so easy. we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. by great men men who were revered. first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one. america is not the greatest country in the world anymore. enough ok michael very powerful acting ext

fenton was telling them, at that point, during that period of time, he dropped out of school. they then thought, well, we can't really -- he's not a student anymore. we're the threat assessment team for the university of colorado. there's not much we can do. we either don't have jurisdiction or, you know, what do we do? he's not coming here anymore. as a matter of fact, two days later, after the 10th, his access card was cut off, he couldn't come back to the campus and get into any labs or the areas where he was working. but anderson, be clear on this, we don't know what was said, so we don't know the level of threat or the level of concern, and was that level to the level that would have been necessarily been reportable to police? as you know, across the country, there are, you know, there are obviously different rules in different states. but if you're here and this is where we need to be to report to police, we don't know if that call to the threat assessment team might have been here about something down here. we don't have any idea about that. we can't really say whether

, over that long period they will show signs of spronlding to commands, of interacting with people. and he imaged those patients and he thought that the cerebral cortex would be severely damaged, to his amazement he found it was completely intact, what was damaged was this particular thalamus and the brain stem. and so he wondered whether the lack of consciousness is due to the fact that is search bral cortex simply but not being stimulated enough by the very tick dollar activating system so he got the idea of artificially stimulating it and he put an electrode into the deep brain stimulation like you in do park sonsñr patients and he found tht these patients who are very rarely in a conscious state now moved into the conscious state more frequently. and we can also show one could do this with drugs. this is really quite amazing. in addition, to this insight into different levels of arousal we also have made a lot of progress in the nature of conscious and unconscious information. and this is something pat churchill is going to tell us about. this came out of what is called the glob

and we will have a question and answer period. i do know that we have a very informative and challenging presentation this evening, so, please, join me in welcoming karl meyer and shareen brysac. [applause] >> thank you, mark, for the kind introduction. and it's very nice to be here on national library week because it is our favorite library, and i always used to say that karl's membership came as my be dowry -- as my dowry. [laughter] i'm going to give a short introduction, and then karl will give a brief summary of the book, and then we will have time, i hope, for questions. now, we, as you can see, have written a lot of books, three together, and you can imagine we've given a lot of book talks. and one question we're always asked is how do you get the idea for your books? the other question we always get is how do you keep your marriage together and a full set of dishes and still write books together. the genesis of pax ethnica happened over lunch one afternoon in the summer. as historians and journalists, we have spent our ent

it's going to take a lolt of commitment, and census building over a period much time. i think mr. draghi pointed down the road. and they'll get there, but it's going to be little tiny steps along the way as they move along. >> let's talk a little bit about tomorrow's job report. are you expect egg good number, a bad number? what does it mean for the market. >> we expect to create 110,000 jobs net. and the unemployment rate 8.2%. the market is a little worried about these things. my suspicion is it's going to have to be significantly worse to have a negative impact on the market. we know the u.s. isn't creating a lot of jobs now. i don't think the expectations are that high. >> all the policy meetings in europe are over, what's the next thing thing for investmentors watch? >> watch the progress in europe, and are they moving forward. it's august, not that many people work that hard in august in europe. it used to be that way. things slow down in the world in august. i think we have to keep it around. china has been sort of the wild card in here. i think it's important that we see t

what was the interaction and why are people attracted to was certain period of time? they were dressing up as the elizabethan period. why are they attracted to a moment in time? i can say i grew up in a log cabin. built in 1740. and next two homage people. a never thought anything of it. it is my life. mildew and cricket floorboards and the people down the street have no electricity. i wanted to go to the big city. to see tall buildings upham and have the exciting life. and move to new york and then to los angeles. one saying is that all of a sudden you feel very divorced from the east coast traditional upbringing. and was living in this city dating back to the 1950's. i felt very detached then i needed that in my life. seat one day i was in the shower and of my wife first into the bathroom of nowhere says if you could go back to college and major within a subject what would it be? i burst out history. i didn't quite put the pieces together or understand what it was i thought was missing in my life not that long after words and is fond of palace verdes peninsula and e

you also look at holding periods. you will see holding periods are going to shorten because people are looking to buy something and quickly flip it. so you really need to look at how the market activity differs from your period. >> in regard to the housingbubb. the reserve and banking regulators have said it's tough to identify that bubble before it pops? what is your prescription? >> anything that might reducecue of the assets will reduce the likelihood of future public -- bubbles. so this policy prescription does not require written policy makers to spot bubbles in real-time. this would be something that would be going on all the time. >> what is the information bein. >> let's talk about real estate. a centralized website put together by the say the federal reserve that collects and centralizes all of the information that is relevant for the the participants in the real estate market. information in prices and -- rent, vacancies and units under construction and paint payment payment -- meant maintenance costs. is th

ulysses was published between march of 1819 and december, 1920, and an american periodical called the little review coming and we have copies of all of those as well. the reason i brought these today is not so much to show you the first edition of ulysses but a leader in addition that is extremely rare. in 1921 the american government declared ulysses obscene and pornographic. and the book was banned. people still wanted to read it, however, and we actually have a copy of one of the additions and if you notice the spines alice-in-wonderland and the little minister putative university of virginia professor stephen talked about civil rights. this is just over ten minutes. >> the lost promise of civil rights is published by harvard university press and the author is professor risa goluboff of the university of virginia. professor golubuff, what is the civil rights action? and a unit of the federal government of the united states government created in 1939, just before world war ii, and when it was clear that it was a part of the department of justice and when it was created, it was thoug

we have a very expansive voting period. they need time to synchronize the voting rules so when they take the books out to the polls, they know everybody who's voted early, everybody that's requested an early ballot so you can't vote twice. they need some time over that last three days to synchronize those rules, whether it should be three days, two days, one day. that's opened for debate. the legislature needs to settle that issue. that's where it should lie. but right now we have the same standards for every county for every voter in the state and that's the principle that we were trying to take care of yesterday. >> busy days ahead. ohio secretary of state jon husted saying that he would be open to opening that three days before election date. i want to bring in perry and casey hunt, national political reporter for the a.p. perry, what's your thought on what was said there by the secretary of state in ohio? >> he's definitely bowed to the pressure. you saw in the last few days the notion that some counties will have longe

that's true that's and it's a very unique feature of this period is that it makes sense that explains why history repeats because people forget so many of the lessons of the previous cycle because the people who are in power or are part of the economy in their decision making are just. are not we're not around to the previous cycles so that lends itself to why it could possibly be that this cycle is so forgotten have seen you have to repeat again yeah and we're going to get more into the charts that demonstrate kind of that in parable evidence supporting what you're talking about the first one is can draw t.f. wave more obscure than other theories do you think given that there is this evidence that that supports it. well my personal theory is their. beliefs and the financial mainstream media which i refer to as the flower of crown they don't accept this world view of this natural recurring cycles because they buy into the worldview that the central banks and fiscal policy as defined through keynesianism is a purer and can overcome and turn back and repression so that is the prevailing
