. >> the ground has a natural period. the denser the material, the harder the material, the shorter the period of the ground. bay mud, which is present close to the shoreline, and the green area, the crown has a very long period. when the earthquake comes, there is a link of time that it takes the ground to go from one, slosh back and forth, measured in seconds. the deeper the bay mud deposits, the greater the length of time it takes for the motion to go one direction and back. so as you approach soft sites, loose sand sites, bay mud sites, the period of the site is long. if you come along and build a tall building, and the ground is going like this, we know that tall buildings, the taller the building, the longer the period, the longer the time it takes to go from one side and back. iand the rule of thumb, every story that you add, it adds a 10th of a second to the period. if you have a 40 story building, you have a building that takes four seconds to go from one side to the other and back. now, that for second building

the - one of the primary factors in causing this period or rough period is the fact that there are orbital properties of the solar system and planets resolve around them and in this case the exintrinsicty of the earths budget that changes and that goes, it has about a hundred thousand year period and low and behold there was a guy that was kind of able to reproduce temperature records going back and that's an old story that's well-known. let's go to the next one slowly. you see the temperatures tend to rise fast and then decline on this you see more co2, more plants and more liberation of co2 that's stored. but notice the vertical axis here. this to this point does not include the industrialization period and the co2, never gets above 300 parts per million. oops, well go back. unfortunately we missed the climax here and that's

in the question and answer period. but people felt that he only had maybe a year or so more to go on his term he would have been out anyway. the second thing was the person who would have taken over from him ben wade was considered a wild eyed radical. he believed in things like women voting which, of course, made him like, you know, a martian. like he was from mars. and so what came after -- what would have come after him and the fact that he didn't have very long to go on his term and some other things. he actually made some deals with people about this. they voted only -- he escaped conviction by 1 vote. he is nevertheless sort of a ruined president after that. he keeps vetoing bills. he's overridden. he has hopes of making a comeback but his real plan was to unite conservatives in the north and the south to create another political party to try to bring -- to take the country back. that was his sort of idea. that it had gotten away from him and he needed groups of the most conservative people, wherever they lived,

in his period, 1941-1979 is prominent. it is the intention of the book that the iranian democratic movement that we have heard so much about, the green movement that we hear so much about that created some kind of a mythical almost movement by bringing 3 million people in the city of 12 million people who silently marched and asked what happened to my world? that growth movement is in every fundamental composition, the same social forces that brought the shah down, so on defending why ltd shah fell, understanding why the coalition was formed against them and it was a very e stranged coalition, and i will explain why, and why there's been political unstability in iran for the last 30 years. if american policymakers, for example, had truly studied the case of the shah's nuclear program and how he went about it, they would have managed, i think, the nuclear negotiations with iran in a very different way, and i suspect they might have come to better results, and finally, i, in the book, offer a rather different view of august

we've become accustomed to really wet periods. 1978 through 1986. and try periods. 1994 and sometimes we actually get a normal year but seems like that does not happen too often. but in these model runs there's again this subtle tendency for a little dryer so i would not be to likely to call for more wet because not too many models call for that. this is why i think there's some credibility about this. this is a little hard to see but this is a funny global projection where the map is kind of just roll it out and it becomes a rectangle - any way the higher latitude has the advantage in this one because they got stretched out. 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

so, we have seen quite a warming over the period of our professional lifetimes. let's go to the next one. further more, if you simply play a sort of a thought experiment which my coleague mike has done here for the landscape of the united states, and what he's done is taken a census of precipitation, day by day every event that's occurred over along period, and he's cataloged how many of those events occurred where temperatures were in the range of minus 3 degrees celsius, just below freezing and freezing and what's shaded on here is the fraction of time for a given location in which the precipitation has occurred in that temperature range. that's a range of what we might call vulnerability because if temperature rises by three degrees celsius, all of the sudden we're not snowing anymore we're raining. you can think of this as a flood vulnerability map or a potential loss of snowstorm or the western problem as you can see and particularly areas like the west slope of the sierras and the cascades and part of the rockies are especially vulnerable to this. we in cal

we were running a trade surplus all during this period. and yet the small deficits we had on an overall basis were very disturbing, and finally the dollar was undercut. but i just want to emphasize the effort was very -- in a very wholesome way to maintain the dollar, recognize its responsibilities as the reserve currency and maintain its stability. let me make just one point that i don't think is irrelevant. you said when i was deputy undersecretary for monetary affairs and be later undersecretary -- i was undersecretary of of monetary affairs, not international monetary affairs. i make that point because this was responsibility to cover both domestic and international, and i think it's important to keep both sides in mind. that position -- that title doesn't exist anymore. and i think that's unfortunate. now we do have an undersecretary for intermartial and undersecretary for domestic finance and undersecretary for this, that and the other thing, and be i think, unfortunately, we have lost organizationally the sense that you shouldn't co

you are a historian of earlier periods.you see anything happening not so much of the leadership level but in chinese society that created the conditions in which people could behave like this to one another or do you really see it by merrily as coming from the top down? >> i wrote a little book, very short, called the age of openness, china before mao that it describes the republican era as a period of great openness and the circulation of ideas, people people, situations, objects move rather freely. the realm of relative freedom that is then subsequently closed down after 1949. so the real key period i think his 1949 to 1957, the 10 years prior to the great leap forward. and i am working on that right now. >> one last question. anybody who has read a little bit about this period knows that it is an issue of major contention among scholars about what the death toll was in the great leap forward. and your numbers are i guess about 50% higher than some recent studies that have come out of the mainland. i wonder if you could t

but that it was a difficult period the yeltsin presidency was a very difficult and trying period. class i was well aware that people too were having it the hard way. their life was a very difficult one. you just said an amazing thing you said there was the period of presidency in yeltsin's life for me and for other people all over the world. the first president of russia ordinary people he was president and nobody else while to you it is but a small period an episode in his life is this how you see that. video now of course not i think it was in the new with period it went fast but it eclipsed everything else that. those were tremendously stressful years besides nine years this is a mythic and period by any measure. and while it was a stressful time ever since we moved to moscow in one thousand eighty five. when you personally think was the most important thing that yeltsin accomplished in his life which actually. well for me personally and for all our family and for all russian people i think he did the most important thing he gave people freedom you have no doubts about that thi

is it just a zero period? that is only attended by the language students or is it a seventh period for all children? if it was a seventh period for all children, would that be an opportunity to add a language program for -- for the -- for the general education students. that's it. >> >> my name is diane. spanish immersion at monroe. >> i do want to voice my appreciation, i feel like the last two meetings i attended, my voice has been heard. even if it is not the voice -- i appreciate you getting community feat feedback. i know in our school, the parents can't come to the meetings. if we could follow ruth's suggestion and spend time to gather feedback, i think you'll get good feedback. and lastly, i wanted to say that i do really -- i do really -- as someone who started in the district with the choice of entering a language program, i fully intended to have that choice going through our school career and i would really appreciate that opportunity to continue, since we intered the district with that -- so or the

because i think that's a pivotal period in iran. that's when the shah with pressures from the americans, pressure that begun with the eisenhower administration and was augmented during the kennedy administration forced the shah to under go changes. some of these changes were very much changes he had wanted to do all along but was not powerful enough to do it until then. like the land reform, to his credit, the shah had been talking about the land reform almost from the day he ascend the thrown. some of them were very clearly mandated and pressured by the kennedy administration and earlier by the eisenhower administration. it is remarkable how worried the american administrations of eisenhower and kennedy were about the future of iran in 1958, '59, '60. they really thought the revolution was right around the corner. they believed that unless something drastic is done. i have quoted some of the documents. it is truly remarkable how anxious they were and how correct they were. essentially they missed it by 20 years. they were right in

most of these lost 50 percent of their snow on one month period. many my favorite is went from 176 to normal and 0 percent in one month. this is a spring time warming trend that's quite son certain. this is provided by the national resource office in new port land. the trees are containing the manager's and it's been my pleasure to work with connie and she a long with dave and a few others reconstructed this going back five years and we're looking at a 20 year average dating to about 1500. what's interesting is the tree ring is 13 point 5 acre point feet and historical is 18 point 1. with this no one cares about individual years and what's more important is the run, the sequences of drought and this is where the trees na >> some of them use temperatures and some use global climate models and some both. there are lots of future greenhouse gas predictions. there was a brief period of time around the time of the national assessment in the year 2 thousand that we hoped we would see more flows in the river but if you look at the study recently out of un

now, the british and the cia we know in this period, period, had a very sophisticated program where theywould send a -- 2% -- pretend they were like communist and they wanted to frighten the clergy even more. and it worked. the clergy with themselves were worried and they further contributed. further adding to the risk other than the fear of communism, other than the economic isolation, was that he was extremely arrogant, aggressive leader, and he felt that mossadegh had stayed in power basically because of the support. so he began to demand essentially veto rights on legislation. he began to demand the right to appoint ministers. he began to demand the implementation of islamic law. he began to demand mossadegh implement laws against the baha'i's in iran and mossadegh basically said no to all of them. he decided to now work with the critics. all of these factors worked hand-in-hand and made mossadegh a much more isolated figure. so, in the election that he himself had organized, the results of the election were not very much to his liking. so he stopped at the elections halfway and deci

given a period of history which was being covered, terrible things that happen in that period, although of course were always clear that our country was on the right side of the argument. it didn't matter. that risk was there. the other risk, probably more likely one, was at the end of the day it just wouldn't be of a particular good story. data with enough excitement, there would be enough achievement, there will be more failures and successes and the service was cut out not looking to brilliant. and there was, has been a perception out there for many years since the great history of british intelligence since the second world war written in the late 1970s. but the big thing about british intelligence and the second world war, there were failures. but it does signal achievement ever, the code-breaking in the second world war, and that is overshadowed the human intelligence work of s.i.s. and that's -- so that was a risk but that will be somehow concerned, and i was not as conscious of those risks as perhaps i should have been. because somehow knowing my service as i did, i had sort of

maximum effort terrorist something that we all have to deal with and are going to have to for a long period of time it's in part a product of the modern age like television like radio people are now politicized by issues that they didn't care about well because they didn't know about and so i think it's a long term struggle against extremists who want to destroy a civilization that they can't cope with it seems that there is no progress in stopping the iranian nuclear program in your view what are the chances that the united states may resort to the military option i think there is still the possibility to avoid a confrontation. i think iran is a case that relative related to the reason that i'm here and that is cooperation between the united states and russia on the whole nuclear fuel cycle. iran has every right. to have nuclear power that does not have the right to build nuclear weapons and i think. the extent to which we can cooperate to induce iran to take the opportunities that are available and that is nuclear fuel from russia returned the nuclear fuel not insist on enriching it's onl

we go back to the period of exclusion. it was impossible for many folks to come in with legal status. there were arguments made at that time on the effects of immigration on irish immigrants and others who were here illegally. would you actually adhere to your position that the law is a law and respect for the law takes first principle or would you look back on that earlier period and wiggle just a bit? >> what i think about that earlier period applies some to today. agents were brought in, oriental were brought in to undercut the newly freed slaves and there is data to suggest that. that they were brought in to flood the market and disadvantage for whites and disadvantaged if the newly freed slaves. with the new immigrants the united states had not enforced its laws. looked the other way and i think some of that was motivated by racism against blacks. blacks hurt the most but also legal hispanics and poor whites. i think the immigrant labor has been used by people in power to disadvantage americans and that goes back to t

it is a longer period of time. it is a marathon, not a sprint. it is a competition of ideas, but for whatever reason, we are hesitant and not skillful in engaging in the competition of ideas. we recognize that the overwhelming majority of the muslim, but they are fine people who have a religion that is different from christiani or judaism or other religions, but they are not radicals they are not terrorists. they are fine people, and yet they are a small minority of muslims that have engaged in terrorist acts that organize to do those things. and we are reluctant as americans to take up that debate and compete with those ideas. they are not reluctant. they are out recruiting. they are out raising money. they are out organizing, and they are out planning attacks against a nationstate concept. because they have the conviction that it is their calling to do that. so the fact that we are not willing to engage in that debate, gore not skillful at it are reluctant to do it, lease people with the vagueness as to why, why people have to do things. the wo

we could be in an extended wet period and that's way off. in the meantime enjoy this weather. you may have noticed you have seen plants blossoming. they are coming up a month early and if you had problems, there is some pine out there as well. the high pressure will stay to the north starting tomorrow afternoon and we are dry and then we will go warm again and then it changes. so tomorrow is cooler, warmer back into the upper 70s and back to the rain forecast. noontime temperatures 50s and 60s. santa rosa 62 and that's still pretty nice. 63 in berkeley and 62 in oakland. these numbers are 10 to 20 degrees cooler than they were just two days ago. wind in the hills overnight lows on the cool side but overnight lows tomorrow night freezing once the wind dies down and then after that we start to warm up. so a five-day forecast, even saturday but increasing clouds on saturday are the beginning of what could be a wet weather period and we can take a lot of water and hopefully that will transpire because it has been pretty nice. >>> the fun could be coming to an end for many of the s

what kind of extremism is that and that happens again and again at this period and that is a kind of recklessness with which i think science is still driven. so this is what the editors of answer. have we got one moment? >> i would be interested in your view of stephen hawking as a popular writer his new book is selling like hotcakes. england and i would be interested in your reaction. >> you should have asked that 25 minutes ago. >> very good question. the book is called a grand design and its controversial because it sounds like an acs tract. that's one of the problems. this is what i have to say about that.

what is problematic is they've only shifted for an 18-month period of time. after that, there is no budget support for that. again, a sex offender is not an 18-month probation supervision timeline, so the formula is flawed. that was something that our chief organization brought up to sacramento. i spoke to them about the problems of their proposed funding formula, not only poor that population, but for a non- serious, non-by land, that they are proposing to shift to the local levels. what that looks like is an additional $700,000 -- 700 to $1,000/ the proposal is to take a non- serious, non-by then, non-sex offenders with no serious things in the background and shift that supervision to the local level allowing counties to determine how those inmates basically would be housed. whether an alternative, whether in jail, electronic monitoring. they are proposing a certain dollar amount. supervisor mirkarimi: after some of those that require a longer level of care and reentry beyond the 18 months, that budget expectation would then deflect back to city and county

how have you navigated those periods where we weren't seeing a lot of you? what were you doing in those moments? >> well, i was working. i have always been working, but i have never based my identity on what other people think of me or how other people perceive me. that is just too dangerous and crazy. you do all the preparation. you get ready. you study how people walk. you study how people sound. you get the sense of your internal life. and then there comes a moment when you have to let go. and that to me is so delicious. i love it because it is terrifying as well. >> well, she has let go, and we will see how delicious it is. it is called "the chicago code" if you didn't know that. it is being advertised everywhere, monday nights on fox, starring jennifer beals. good to see you. >> thank you. >> that's our show for tonight. thanks for tuning in. until next time, thanks for watching and keep the faith. >> for more information on today's show, visit tavis smiley at pbs according. >> hi, i am tavis smiley, join me next time for a conversation with clive davis

although i tend to confine myself to the period of the wars of american history. i'm teaching at the university of texas right now called america's wars. and the question is how did america go to war? what you accomplish in war? how do the wars in and how does it all turn out? and the question i pose to my students, in this case i'm teaching undergrad, and students in my class ranged in age from about 19 to 21 or 22. and so i ask a question. i posed a question to my students on the first day, why is their war? and i say that i'm asking them specifically because historically young people their age have been want to fight the war. i look at the young men in my class and maybe it will surprise you. maybe it will do know that when i teach this class, which is a class in america's military scum it's a seminar so i have 20 students. and typically i get maybe 14 or 15 young men, and five or six young women. so there's an over representation of young men. i look at the young men in particular and in this class, in this version, as i have in years past i have a number of e

i think it's important to divide the periods into sections. you had a period with the u.k.'s own strategy rather uncertain in the first half of 2002 following the state of the union speech, and also with crawford that settled down a little bit. partly settled by this discussion here in march, and then as it became clear that we were seeking a u.n. route, settled down again, and colleagues thought, well, better luck. that's the route that will be used, and it will be a satisfactory result. there was a decision to be made at that stage, and the colleagues were aware during the course of 2002 military preparations were being made. then you had the period of leading up to 4041. you had bush's statement to the general assembly on the 12th of december, you had that very intense period leading up to 4041. great signs were released by cabinet and the british people that we got 4041 and there was a matter being resolved peacefully. there was not a decision to be made by cabinet because they endorsed the process leading up to 4041. we got it. then you had the declaration, and then it

that's worth being reminded in a period that is sometimes very pessimistic. so i feel -- i felt better finishing this book. i hope that you'll find some hope in it. and let's open it up to questions or mens from the -- questions or comments from the audience. please. [applause] [applause] >> please come to the mike though so that we can get the questions or comments on tape. >> so i was wondering if in the process of interviewing people for the book that you actually interviewed any women who, you know, identified as working class or who were african-american or otherwise minorities and what their experience of reading the book is. obviously the problem with the book is that it doesn't speak to these women. whether being a working class or minority woman and reading the book sort of helped them get to feminism anyway, or turned them away from the larger project of feminism in general? >> i thought -- i interviewed several african-american women. many of the -- the ones that were turned off didn't finish. they read enough to know it wasn't relevant to them. i

i am putting out an nine-month pilot period. we bring it back to you in the next board meeting, age as well as penalty recommendations. >> for people that might not be completely familiar, the position is a process that is generated by the neighbors. they actually start the process and gather the signatures. i am sensitive to the amount of work that we have created around this. i just wanted to clarify. i can support that. director nolan: i'm not sure we have 3 or 4 people is
