in the early post-war period. so in my book, too, i look at elements of social backlash and ordinary people's conservatism in the korean war era in societies such as like china, taiwan, japan and the philippines as well as the uk and the united states. and i think the inclusion with such everyday people, their thoughts and actions as a part of analysts has important consequence for how we see the cold war. this is because if we challenge and change our view of what the cold war really was. so in conclusion, the bottom line, as i suggested in my book, is that it's time to change our ways of asking questions about the cold war and about this period, about this post-war period in general. so instead of assuming the nature of the cold war just simply as u.s. confrontation in the post-war era, we can raise questions about it and more seriously think about its essence, its nature, as well as its meanings in the post-war societies. we can ask, for instance, why this image of a global cold war materialize in this early po

period, crazy, right? you can imagine, a lot of people, lot of indigenous people moved east, because the spaniards and the mexicans occupied the costal region, right? so if you wanted to get away from that, you would move into the sierras. when the gold rush happened, people came, those people were annihilated. >> it was basically a lot of land loss already, the indigenous people already pretty much lost control of their own land by this time? >> well, yes and no. in the costal regions, definitely. interior -- or the eastern part of california, they were living as they always had. with knowledge that the spaniards were there and the mexicans, but they were at a far distance from them. during the u.s. period, all that changed for them. american indians didn't get citizenship until 1924. so it was very different. california was even worse because they were so dispersed. that's why in california, we don't have reservations, we have ranches. some of which are an acre in size. it's really difficult. >> [ inaudi

faster and easier for a augustine's so in the reconstruction period augustine's began to talk of the new south philosophy, let's use our canal and let's enlarge it and deepen it, built textile mills along it, stop sending our cotton to the north for processing and process it here and make the money that will come from that right here. so after the war, well into the 20th century augusta was a textile center and it would remain that until the modern era when textiles like other parts of the south, textiles here began to move out of the country to other places. local history i think is the key to understanding history on a larger scale because a local community is a microcosm of what happens in the larger world. i believe we can't understand where we are if we don't know where we have been. we can understand why things are the way they are if we don't understand how they got to be the way they are. local history provides that window for us into understanding our past and how it evolved over the years, which helps us know who we are as a people and why we are what we are today. for more

period in which young black people risk their lives to go to college. we don't often comment that is not what's often taught in schools about african-americans and education but they went on strike. they had sedans, they had protests and demonstrations and even risk their lives to open up the doors to higher education much more broadly. >> host: in "the black revolution on campus" while the white student has garnered much more tension black students produce greater campus changes. >> guest: i think when many people think of student activists in the late 1960s they think of the students for democratic society for example and they think of the fight to end the war in vietnam were other issues like that but i think the student movement which took place at colleges large and small public and private all over this country 1868 in the 199, 1970 actually produced more wide-ranging comprehensive campus reform in the white new left so i think for many people that's an untold story. >> host: are some of those reforms to present today? >> guest: many of them are.

iran can't find fissile materials in that period of time.hat is a period that our nuclear experts believe is completely acceptable to ensure that iran will not get a bomb during this period and as far as the nuclear components of this deal, for those ten years, he thinks it's a better deal than the itself rejecting it. what he emphasizes more is the fact that iran will get sanctions relief. >> and they would get a lifting of the international arms embargo. >> the united nations sanctions on conventional and ballistic missiles remain in place. and those are the ones that carry weight. the u.n. sanctions are symbolic. if anybody thinks this is working, then why have we seen the activity that iran has been engaged in. >> does it ultimately come down to trust and schumer says this in his statement. that at the end of the day a lot of americans don't believe that iran will behave in accordance with this deal, that they won't secretly try to enrich you yan um. >> right, and i agree that that trust is not there. that's why you need a deal like this

but our best estimate at this time of what it will take is about a $5 peak period toll and something lower off-peak. some of the toll policies more closely related to meeting that 50% transit mode-share requirement over the long-run. for instance, our recommendation that there be a broad-base period to the toll, but lower toll-level helps achieve that, especially linking the need for the revenue -- the temporal need for the revenue for the period that transit options are available. and also recommending no exemptions, for instance, for cleaner vehicles. other parts of this policy are more closely related to raising enough revenue to pay for the transit services. something i want to point out is recommendation for how the board could adjust the toll-level annually in realtime based on changing needs. we would recommend a toll-level adjustment policy, actually mirrored on mta's policy for adjusting muni's fares so a function of inflation, but also transit costs. let me talk a little bit more about our proposal around transportation affordability. we have looked at a couple of options.

the patty wagon is born in that period.other groups have certain kinds of criminal attributions given to them. the sinister chinese villain emerges in the 1870s and becomes the part of popular fiction in dime novels. a classic example of this here. here is an image from 1909 called the fool pied piper. eastern european immigrants, jews, italians, greeks coming to america as rats. it's blunt. in the real story, the pied piper plays the this. as you can see they are going off to america. notice the reaction of the european officials on the shore there jumping for joy that america is taking the worst of european society. they're coming out of the sewers and coming out of the jails. this idea of criminality is imbedded. nativism and disorder. basically rioting. rioting becomes a huge problem in the mid 19th century in most american cities. we know that rioting goes back into the colonial period. think about the 1760s, the stamp act riot. those riots were more demonstration riots. they were shows of anger. there were pageantry a

the period measured where we have long periods of no wage increases for active employees and that may be part of the reason why they didn't see the increase in the colas >> there were periods during the study period where there was no wage increase so there was no cola for these members which created a significant gain in evaluation. we didn't to just reflect based on the experience during the 5 year period so instead we created these formula based on the assumption about future wage increases and how to adjust those and apply them for these old safety groups. that is a lower cola based on our current set of assumptions. >> just to note, under the proposed assumption formula, theimator increase is based on the assumption, it isn't based on hch >> the wage inflation assumption 3.75 and the ultimate varies dependent on the group. the wage inflation assumption is 3.75 percent right now but in the last 5 years we have changed it from 4 down to 3.75. >> got it. >> this slide summarizes the impact of the proposed assumption changes. there are 3 option frz moretality on the top and all the o

so i think we've come a long way since the period. >> okay. time time is moving on. so i would like to thank him again for his presentation. >> and i wouldn't be doing my duty as his publisher if i didn't point out that you can acquire a copy of this book for a large consideration of tax-free at the table at the back. thank you so much. [applause] [inaudible conversations] it's next on booktv. >>> [inaudible conversations] okay. but get started. hello, everyone. thank you for coming. this is exciting. i know that it's miserable and disgusting outside. so i'm glad that you came up here. there is air-conditioning and booze and we are so glad that you are here. my name is sarah. i am a journalist and i do a podcast at the magazine. and i have no eric since we were early bloggers. he's an assistant professor of history at the university of rhode island in addition to the book that we are here to discuss empire timber which is about the labor movement and the logging industry in the northwest. he writes of lawyers, guns and money and his work has been published. so, once

tracks the whole period. now i'm going back to my favorite period which is 1850, a book called american debate, the tbreat -- great american debate. had all the new territory and the big question, is it going to be slave or free. at that point there were 15 slave states and 15 free states. slavery held on as long as it did because of the senate. it was a heck of an effort to hold the country together. in the end it worked for 11 years. 11 years later we had the civil war. tweet us your answer at book tv or you can post it on our facebook page facebook.com slash book tv. this past year included ta vrk -- smiley. >> in the coming months we'll speak to former secretary and economist walter williams and roberts of mpr and nbc news. this week, our guest and editor of nine books including her new book drone warfare. in depth live on book tv the first sunday of every month. you can participate. all programs are available to watch on our web site booktv.org . >> sought to recapture something like the ship that sustai

is a 4 munt period. they followed about 80 million dollars believe about less than 4 percent of assets. that is all that is known at this time. pent d'errico will have a opportunity to reply and report back when we have further information. castal lack, the strategy the board approved last month closed a week latter. we got 23 of 25 million we requested. there is one additional item that we handed out to you on paper and just so it goes in the record it is our investment of san francisco asia alternatives which is the fund specific name for the coinvestment strategy that the board approved at last month, that closed just last friday and believe we were notified late friday or monday so that is why you get a handout. we go back the memo building the team, we added 4 member tooz the team in the last 6 months. once we fill out a couple slots we'll provide biography of the experience. the hedge fund rfp, we have filled 3 of the 5 slots. myself and sean bill are the 2 you know of last month.

but the idea of an israeli or a fellow jew would do that even in this periods of the peace -- this period of the peace process when there are threats against rabin from the israeli right, i think it's very hard for the secret service people, the bodyguards to get out of the mindset that they're looking for a palestinian. you know, their profile for the would-be assassination, the would-be assassin is an arab. and the so the -- so the idea that a jew might move in and kill them, i think, almost didn't dawn on them. >> host: dan ephron, how popular politically was yitzhak rabin in 1995? >> guest: so israel was and remains a divided society and divided over the very issues rabin took on. rabin wanted to end israel's military occupation of the west bank and gaza, israel's military rule over millions of palestinians, and he was elected by a small margin. so, you know, i think at the time -- and i covered israel at the time. i remember people talking about the country being divided about 50/50 between people who were in favor of handing back some of this territory and people who were absolutely

that is two-thirds decrease in convictions malaysia had over the reporting period. but the tip report mentions a pilot program that the victims to work after the holding facilities and the answer is there were four who participated. so you were telling as the upgrade was based on preliminary action, legal reform that took place after the reporting period on increase investigations and resulted in fewer convictions and a pilot program that granted a total of four victims some refuge? >> will share the secretary's comments on malaysia. he signed off on the tier shrinking relative to malaysia read because of his belief that malaysia had taken the right steps to change. that includes a variety of factors that i have enumerated. there are other elements that are concerning that we both have been enumerated. the secretary said the rankings indicate the tier ii watch list the enormous room for approval not a gold seal of approval but to move in the right direction. >> i appreciate that the malaysian got what they wanted they got into tier ii that just happens to allow them

of time and the lower construction are thank you great be period of time we've gotten feedback if 85 percent of the residents along the corridor we are crushing the data to get an idea how to best constrict our subsequence to maximize the speed up of construction and maximum misses the improvements to the corridor. >> the counter item before you today is to award the preconstruction services portion of our construction manager general contract essentially we're bringing on a general contractor and 4 subcontractors to help us to fine finalize the construction plan for the projects this is an ultimate delivery program but we can get benefits having the contractor with us over the last several months of design as particular in reaching out to the community with our construction subsequently plan and the traditional process mta staff or consultants will pit together a subsequence that we will reach out to the community once the contractor is brought on board we have the obligation to use the carcinogen plan we be in agreement with the contractor and no significant variation between meeti

the third point is a question on the 3 million dollars of expenned in the first period for community based organizations. thank you. >> thank you for your comments. >> any additional public comment? >> deputy director you don't have to come up, we have that data of this year versus last year would we? why don't you come back. just to the comments there. >> i'm not sure if i understand all the comments but on the revenue report we yooyuss specific accounting codes so nrd for us to getthality nrgz that is information that you get from a report from different division if that actually happened. because he is looking more not on the revenue he want said to know on each specific case what is happening on that case and whether or not it is going forward is that correct? maybe i didn't understand your question. >> what i'm interested seeing is some oaf the divisions were not collecting that and i'm interested seeing the total or aggregate amount of revenue that isect collected for nov's that run 60 or 90 days past the abatement period where there is a monthly fee and there were some divisio

he was in the office for such a short period of time. people weren't quite sure what he was going to be so it's difficult to be sure exactly who you're electing, but -- and it's dangerous to look at what worked for two or three people in history and absolutely apply it to somebody today. i can't help to -- two really defining events were how coolidge handled the boston police strike of 1919 where he -- it was a very controversial strike and the red scare and all of that was going on coolidge thought very hard to come up with a solution so he finally just acted to break the strike. one of his top political advisors said if you sign that your political career is over and coolidge said, you're probably right and signed it. he issued a statement that no one has the right and that quote resinated with people and was responsible for him being nominated as vice president in the 1920. that's how he handled the strike really defined him in the public's mind. and then the famous with reagan with the air controller strike which sent a very strong m

a lot of water in a short period of time. these are the early showers and storms coming out of pennsylvania just the fact seeing parts of sussex and even parts of warren county early on. the main front is back here in central p. a. that'sgoing to really come screaming through the area and that will be the chance to get the downpours, early somehows and not -- showers and not until late tonight closer to midnight with we see the showers really fill in and come over the boroughs likely in the early morning hours. on the futurecast, confirm this is pretty much by 5:00 a.m. we have reds and yellows and oranges in some cases. they'll be possibilities of -- pockets of the downpours that can produce up to two inches of rain in a short amount of time. locally we could get heavier amounts meaning some spots really get the showers repeating over the same area. so you've had flooding in the last 48 hours be prepared once again to see the water rise very quickly and the heavy storms gets into your area. by 9:00 tomorrow is all out of her

the post world war ii period that i grew up in was really aberrant in its civility. it was the least partisan, most civil period. >> right. >> and i think the war had everything to do with it. there were two huge classes that ran for congress after the war. the republicans, '46. democrats, '48. and they were self-conscious veterans and they had literally been in the trenches together. >> yep. >> so they knew that the enemy was not the guy across the aisle, it was the dictator across the sea. and the whole country had gone to war. the whole country had sacrificed and had rationing and all that. so we have somewhat of a rosy view of how things used to be because we did have this little period of history. but now it is awful. and not to put too fine a point on it. and it does get to the fact that families don't come to washington and so they don't know each other so people can be -- >> correct. >> you can see someone as the devil if you don't really know them, you know. i had the great honor of being asked by mrs. ford to eulogize her at her funeral. and, as i always jo

or how it became imagined as real in several places over a ten-year period. and my favorite part of the book is that professor masuda tell this is story in a very tangible way. the conceit here is that no one is driving this reality-making process. which makes professor masuda's actual narrative more straightforward than you might expect. "cold war crucible" basically explores how different actors or ordinary people came to explain their own claims in their local worlds vis-a-vis communism and anti-krichl. these folks were not necessarily communists or anti-communists but they invoked the cold war for their own reasons, mostly to get ahead, which resulted eventually in the creation of this shared nativist fantasy world with transnational purchase. so observation number one is that professor masuda is arguing a familiar point, a point as old as richard hoffsteader, in a new way, which sets up a second observation because the research, as chuck said, is very, very good. ten countries, lots of archives, lots and lots of languages. some international history tend

movement of the late '60s and early '70s and i was drawn to write about it because i thought this period of the black freedom struggle was greatly misunderstood it is known as the black power movement. many americans associate that with violence and destruction and the disarray and in fact, one of the core goals and aspirations of of the black power movement was access to higher education. bequest to education was at the center of the black power movement said on think many have appreciated or understood that. so immigrants have valued education with their aged or jewish americans as a struggling minority group that has prized access to higher education but they are rarely portrayed this way it is portrayed as the anti-intellectual culture and i felt those were distortions in one of was extraordinary to me is the period that young black people risk their lives to go to college. it is and what is often talked but they went on strike they have thus it didn't and protests and demonstrations and even risked their lives to open the door to higher education much more broadly to black people an

it's undergone very few alterations during that time period. there's character defining features on page 24 of the landmark designation report. character defining features such as the living room dining room, and located areas historically publicly accessible. staff has updated the designation report to include an appendix with a brief history of retirement and evolution in the architectural design of retirement homes. also of note, department staff and commissioners from island wicks and johnck met with them at the site and were given a tour of the property. given the residence or support the designation and supervisor campos has also expressed support. the department believes the building meets the established eligibility requirements and landmark status is wanted. the diamond recommends designation to the board of supervisors. thank you. >> any questions? >> questions? seeing no questions, when we take public comment on this item. any member of the public wish to comment on the designation of the university mound old ladies on? seeing none,

obviously i know a lot about hamilton other periods, but if we can focus on that period. nicole: absolutely. right here. right there. yes, right back. >> i will begin with the end. why cut off at 1782, as opposed to the end of the war at '83 or '87 or '89? mr. newton: because the book is long enough already. that is the logical place to end off. the siege of yorktown ends in 1781. hamilton rushes back. his wife is pregnant. first son is born in march 1782, he resigns from the army with the promise that if the war keeps up he will return. that is the logical place to break. the next section of his life would eat the drive toward the constitution. so, it was the right place to stop. host: right here in the white shirt. >> yes, we often hear about the relationship between washington and lafayette. lafayette and hamilton were close to the same age, both orphans fairly young, both on washington's staff. many times we hear that washington treated lafayette almost like a son. there was a strong relationship between washington and lafayette. don't hear as much about washington's

it's another period. it's not about my period.jimmy: a period comedy. >> a period comedy. >> so's basically like if the kardashians moved into downton abbey. >> jimmy: yes. >> true stuff happening in america in new port, rhode island at the turn of century. >> jimmy: what about it is true? >> it's insane. if you go to newport and take these housing tours you hear about these people in tonight's episode, ben stiller who's playing charles ponzi, the inventor of the ponzi scheme, we give him the gift of a child who wears a turban around his head and is a whipping boy. that's something i read. consuela vanderbilt, like anderson cooper's great, great grandmother? >> jimmy: gloria vanderbilt's -- >> she was gifted. they just went to asia. this orphan and gave it to her, and not to be part of the family, just to be her servant, and they put it in this costume and this child had to wait on her. but this is a human being! >> jimmy: yours is named taboo in the show, right? >> taboo. >> jimmy: ben stiller is in it? >> ben stiller is in it. >

of evidence on what he's doing and not doing in those period of times.ere's a lot of coverage in those cell phones and text messages so it would have to be something farther back in time older than our evidence has easy access to. like a long time ago kind of thing. >> reporter: did the criminal activity end with taylor's arrest or continue after taylor's arrest? >> as we say in the charging document, it goes on after taylor's arrest. you'll see the end date of mr. fogle's activity is june in 2015. >> reporter: can you explain what that was? >> it's more of count two but not successfully. >> reporter: you investigate these kind of crime, removing mr. fogle, is this the typical way people try to hide child pornography? on computers? is this typical of the case like this? >> unfortunately with cheap storage meet ya, it's more common now. we see things on small storage device, laptops, computers, cell phones, cameras. so now what we do is we use on-scene computer forensic triage, this is what the state police in particular specializes in. we have a mobile f

during the period of the 19th century, the base of the republican party up until the 1920's was black voters. as more and more black voters were excluded, so too republican votes went down. by the beginning of the 20th century, the democratic party was totally dominant. within the democratic party there were conservatives and as the 20th century went on, a number of liberal democrats. the contest became between conservatives and liberals within the democratic primary. up until about 1960, almost every elected official in the state was a democrat, and most of the elections that shows officials for public office took place in the democratic primary. you had a pattern up until about 1960 where more people were voting in the democratic primary in the spring then in november because there was really no contest in the november election. starting in 1960, texas has gone through three stages of transformation that have changed the dynamics of texas politics. the first one from about 1960 to 1978 that first phase of change was one where the republican party became competitive at the top of the

cassandra good: the early republic is an exciting time, because this is a period when americans felt anything was possible. they had broken away from this republic. they felt like they were beating a path towards freedom for the world, and people just had a sense of possibility, and in some ways, that is realized. in many ways it was not. , opportunities for african americans, women, native people, it it ended up ended up closing down in many ways. in the 1780's, we got that things would change radically and they didn't. but still people felt excitement. through the writings, i find this very exciting. host what is next? : cassandra good: with the papers, we are currently working on volume six of the papers of james monroe, which will be about 1811 until 1813, he will be secretary of state and the secretary of war for periods there, so a great period for him, and then with my own research i am working on a project on george washington up austria's descendents. and what they understand their role will be in the new nation. host are there james monroe : descendents today? cassandra goo

he is a very important figure during this period. he almost single-handedly established the national banking system. the country had various types of currency before 1861. these were not government-backed banknotes that could be turned in for government bonds. the banking system we are familiar with today started at chase's hand in 1861. he was likely responsible for the design of these early notes. there was rather unseemly political advertising done in those days. some people actually put their faces on banknotes. chase is one person who was guilty of that. he was also instrumental in adding the motto "in god we trust" to coins which first appeared in 1864. it didn't appear on banknotes. this is a little bit of a trick question. for issued notes in wide circulation, it wasn't until 1957. he served about 10 years in the supreme court. he was very important in the time. edwin stanton, i'm sure many of you have heard of, was the secretary of war under lincoln. solomon chase's successor served as the secretary of treasury during these

time period. 1941 they would make the first combat jumps as infantry soldiers. they decided they would expand it to the battalion. eventually they did that and eventually it was expanded into divisions. and airborne was supposed to be able to be deployed behind enemy lines as they were at normandy, and other places, in order to capture important bridges, towns, road junctures, and so on , until they were relieved by those attacking forces coming up. ocs is officer candidate school. by generallished george kaplan marshall, chief of staff of the army. a .5rmy would expand to million men during this time period and a needed young soldiers that were qualified to lead them into combat. that was what the school was designed to do. the first graduating class went on. in every major operation in world war ii that the army participated in, officer candidates from fort benning, georgia were involved in the action there. if you pass the test, both mental and physical, anyone can qualify to go to officer candidate school. that was one of the provisions that marshall wanted

today incarceration periods range from 37 days to 10 months. so we have 300,000 immigrants who were detained in angel island over 30 years compared to in 2011 alone, this is the most recent statistics, 429,000 in one year. so, it's been 50 years since we've passed comprehensive immigration reform. we're recognizing or honoring the 50 th anniversary of the 1965 immigration act and it's clear from the headlines that i showed at the beginning that we're in a current debate over immigration about which there does not seem to be any easy solution. so how do we connect this to angel island, then? i would argue that angel island represents the best and the worst of america's immigration history. there are many, many immigrant families, including my own, who can trace their roots back to angel island and have made it through the educational system and can now celebrate generations of being in the united states. but there are many others for which that detention experience best mirrors this other side of immigration that we're also experiencing today. s
