it is a clear shape from the colorado plateau. we do see it in calinke, you see it in certain incan sites in south america. so it might be a pan american feature. i'm not sure what it is. some hopi people have told me that the t, the bottom of the t, goes down into a mythical underground lake so this is an upside down mountain that leads down into a place called the house of rain. that is where twyla, probably oldest american deity, the rain deity, lives down in the house of rain and this is a t shape from up on the colorado plateau and that is the last picture on these slides, so -- the t shape, the pottery, i followed genetic information that you find in bones and teeth. i followed as many different pieces of information as i could and they sent me walking. i started in chaco canyon and walked north up to mesa verde, around to comb ridge in utah, down into the hopi mesa, across the mugion rim, to mexico and then into the sierra madre, following people, following routes. because everything in the desert leaves a route that leads

i see the colorado plateau. this bowl is from american museum of natural history and that's where it is now. that's the storage place. where it was from before is pueblo bonito in chaco canyon where there were rooms filled to the ceiling with bowls stacked within each other, bowls like this. all their designs, you can kind of get a glimpse around this. they have this flawless symmetry blending all the way around. it looks like that place. it looks like that landscape. i look into this and i see the sharp edges of the land. i see the way the earth is shaped out there. i see the routes in their vessels. i mean, to understand these, this one came out of a 13th century site in southwest colorado and i would sit with these bowls for hours and hours, drawing them into my sketch book because that was the only way i could really understand the complexity of how they got their symmetries to match up because i could never get them to match up in my drawings. i could never do a 100 percent accurate rendition of these becau

the colorado plateau is covered with chert, a glassy rock that is really really good for making tools, making very sharp edges. you find there are pieces of chert all over the place and you can still cut your skin open very quickly with it and it's been sitting out in the open. >> where does chert come from? . >> it's a marine rock that's mostly silica. you find it in these layers, sandstone layers. if you are especially in a marine or water environment, you will find this layer of chert. it's in all colors, purple, green, red, blue. it's a beautiful rock. . >> one thing i wanted to ask you, the review in the paper recently on sunday said that your book is different from all the other books about the anastazi because you brought out some of the non-flattering parts of their culture like violence. how did you conclude that they were a violent culture? . >> well, i didn't necessarily conclude they were a violent culture, i just concluded there was violence in their culture. the evidence is very clear where you find masker sites, where every place you drop a trench there are bodies, unbu

it's -- no signs of plateauing or peaking any time soon. in addition, we are planning for the onslaught of additional visitors to san francisco and the bay area that will be assembling for america's cup and knowing a lot of the visitors will have g.s.m. enabled phones to upgrade the network to handle thar traffic as well. you will be hearing several times today and i wanted to kind of thank you in advance and thank the planning staff for the great job they have done in reviewing all the sites and to put on the record that at&t has done extensive community outreach on all the sites going above and beyond the community meeting required and there is a website available to the public and been at a number of community festivals and events and to educate and inform the community about what we're doing and continue to do merchant walks to let people know how the improvements are going to affect their business. the site before you at 234 ninth street, i am joined today by a representative from hammond edison who is an engineering firm that's done t

it was a site, an archeological site on the colorado plateau, that i ran into a number of years ago. and i've gone down to it a couple of times now. when i first found it, i had been on the river for 7 days in a canoe. and i tied off and broke through the tamarisk which if you've ever been down on those desert rivers, the tamarisk, the invasive species of plant that runs along the shore line, it makes this jungle, this dry, hard jungle that you just work your way through until you have sticks stabbed into your ears and hair and tamis buds is what they call it, it's the stuff that rains down off these trees and it fills up the back of your shirt. i came up to this flat area and this cliff was there and i saw a piece of pottery on the ground, a broken piece of pottery. if you start looking around, you see broken pieces of pottery that date back 800 years, 900, 1200 years, and i dropped down on my hands and knees when i saw that one and i started brushing away sand until i could see others and i blew the sand away and i could see the rim of a broken pot. once i saw that, my eye was much

that perhaps we don't use the word betrayed it is better i think what has taken place is on a higher plateau than betrayal this is the continuation of the suppression of the rights of the palestinian people and the palestinian nation you see if they don't realize their dream of self-determination and the jews to see this year it will occur next year if not next year then the following year this will happen and no one can prevent that. now can we logically and fairly ask of anyone to establish a dialogue and negotiate with occupies in order to get their right of self-determination imagine a gang of thieves come and take over your home once they are asked to return the property to its rightful owner or owners they give pre-determined sets of rules and conditions in order to leave what they took through theft so this is the policy that's failed. it's been proven and will be wiped away very soon this principal of doing things and the same goes for the arab nations who they rise up against against the united states' influence in the region it is clear the world over dictators have been and are pr

with cocaine, and it had a lot of an information about cocaine and how it has plateaued, it did plateau. one of the problems messines is a tremendous rise in the number of seizures that have occurred on the southwest border. the special in the last two years. methamphetamines with the controls that the u.s. government worked out with mexico, we have a tremendous impact on the methamphetamine availability in the united states. a tremendous impact. after that, the mexican cartels figured out another way to produce. we are back to rates and low prices. impurity on the street is high. we have lost ground on the past two years. heroin use has skyrocketed in the united states. it was rise in the opening of abuse. it is a cheaper high and one that leads to intravenous drug use. which leads to problems. the seizure rate is phenomenal along the border. next slide. this is what the cartels look- alike in mid 2007. after the violence began to occur, one organization attacked the poiret's cartel -- juarez cartel. others went at each other as that broke out. a lot of this was the violence that occur

intensely goes up exponentially now actually economies don't follow that trajectory they they usually plateau out a little bit and even decline at points and if you have a bet that will go on come hell or high water and economies that fall off or even out after a time what's going to happen is that more and more of the productive capacity of those economies are going to have to go into servicing the debt to the point where the fruits of labor and the fruits of production will be entirely consumed at some point and then assets have to be cannibalized to pay off for the debt and clearly you know people the only way to get around that is to just try to ignore it but at the point we are at now especially when it's contacted by fraud and debts that are just thrown into the system of tens of maybe even hundreds of trillions of dollars it just makes. a real solid case for saying we don't know which debts are valid which ones are not we know the basic mathematics of debt we need that for. guinness to basically zero the value scale reestablish and reward productivity and have an i started out again wi

interpreted the qur'an in this way but the involved just busted me you know stick until they hit a plateau where unlike any industry which has their annual conference in many cases in las vegas you have similar kinds of gatherings of international companies as well as local companies are ambitious potential managers who will help manage and reassert and redirect financial wealth to the hands of the needy people of yemen has turned out to be like very much a trojan horse as you suggested and i suggest that a lot of the violence that's happening now in yemen is not has nothing to do with tribal alliances or the struggle overall between al-qaeda or political party loyalties but it's the lives of people directly been affected by such kinds of interventions and what would they call in the i.m.f. world and world bank as structural adjustments are actually causing significant structural. chaos in these kind of rule societies that have been targeted they have wonderful assets which are particularly valuable and are used to course. uses collateral for these micro loans are the assets you have and w

are not big things are not things that are going to bring us three million jobs so we have a high plateau that you're right through the entire united states are not going to bring three million jobs and they're not going to be sustainable jobs construction jobs were huge part of the stimulus and we saw an uptick in jobs the falling unemployment number but then those jobs went away because construction those construction work jobs are temporary leading up to two thousand and seven we had all those workers because it was a housing bubble and that housing bubble was fueled in part by the government now that means the private sector shouldn't be trying to get back to where it was in two thousand and seven it's changed. it's going to look different and that means it's going to take a while for things to readjust so where are those other one million construction workers going to go will they need retraining and that's going to take time and they need to move elsewhere in the country well that means they need to sell their house those are things are going to take a long time ok but there are oth

and i think there is a genuine plateauing effect that we're seeing. and i think that's counter posed against mitt romney who clearly has improved. in every respect as a candidate. >> this is one of though classic examples of give a front runner, in this case, romney, some real competition. and it makes them better. >> absolutely. and i you're seeing that from romney. you're also seeing that running for president is really hard. and i remember people talking about how listless and out of it and awful barack obama's debate performances were and his stump speeches were in iowa in the fall of 2007 so there is a learning curve, definitely. >> lawrence, can i say that having talked to a couple of the top romney people over the last couple days, they think that their guy is invigorated by this kind of thing. when he stands alone, where making stump speech, all the wooden qualities and plastic qualities of mitt romney come out. but when he's face to face and standing next to a guy who wants to get in his way, romney is a tough guy and it is better that he be

we showed our poll earlier in the week showing rick perry starting to plateau, if not dip a little bitpublican primary field. a new fox news poll out tonight, a few days later than our poll that shows a bigger drop. look at this. mitt romney now in the lead in the fox news poll, just a few days ago, governor perry at 29%. now dropped down to 19%. you see herman cain picking up some support there among conservatives. eric, what -- to what do you attribute this? shaky debate performances in general or specifically conservatives when they hear him on immigration, when they hear him on the hpv vaccine saying, oh, not our guy? >> two things. primarily the debate performance. but also immigration. though if you look at some of the other poll numbers in there for example, they ask you who have most in common with and the majority of the people, i shouldn't say majority, but most of the people say rick perry at 17% followed by herman cain, mitt romney at 12% there. my guess is reading those two together, it is that people want to find someone who can beat mitt romney in the primary. romney is

its use spiked in the '80s and plateaued. the report says that hasn't changed.use is up especially among young people, what the report finds is there's less of a concern that it may have harmful effects, which the report speculates may be the result of increasing number of states moving to decriminalize marijuana possession. it also says the abuse of illegal drugs by young adults of all categories is on the way up. the report also says that it does not think this picture is going to change in the near future, that the mexican drug cartels have adapted to u.s. enforcement, they found new ways to smuggle this material in, and this is a curious thing, because on the one hand, border enforcement, according to the administration, has greatly reduced by about 30% or so illegal immigration into the u.s. in other words, the numbers of illegal people coming in. but at the same time, the amount of illegal drugs coming in is on the way up and shows no sign of decreasing. may i just mention one other thing to you, important legal development here in the last few minutes. th

there's been a lot of great things happening and then plateau a little bit and kind of ups and downs. there's something tragic happens in the world and something in the middle east, of course, things -- we agree out there and protest and rally and we get together and i guess we all knew, i guess, in our hearts that the day 9/11 happened we felt a sense of urgency that something is going to happen. we're going to be out there and we're going to go to the churches, we're going to go to the mosques whatever heritage we're from, we're going to go out there and whatever faith we're from, we're going to go to do what it takes to share our feelings, share our thoughts, out there and be proactive out there but i guess my question is, do you see what the next sense of -- the sense of urgency on 9/11 and on the less decade and what's the next? of is there god forbid, another tragedy or something happens, the next arab spring where there's something that organizations are going to come closer together and how are we going to change the perception a little bit more here in the states and the coun
