so she said, you're going to sit in this corner for the entire year, ignore everything i do at the blackboard, every homework assignment i give, and she was saying you're going to do the honors work but she was saying you're going to thank me later. and sure new york 12 years later, went back to my classroom, when my first novel was published, i knocked on the door, and she said, can you help you? i said my name is brad meltzer, and i wrote this book, and i said it's for you. she carted crying. she said i didn't think i was having an impact anymore. i was going to retire. i said, are you kidding me? you have 30 stunts, we had one teacher. you never know. and she changed my life, my english teacher, and i get

in a recent cartoon he draws a young barack obama at the blackboard.or editor with investors business daily. great to have you with us. be appreciated so muh. i love your cartoons, and i would wat to ajust, if we may, go to a few more of them to get your remarks. i want to firsit your idea of what you think of the fiscal cliff. you have tough find this to be rich father. absolutely. i alwys suggest, but the best tag riders in the world work for politicians. this white house is giving me plenty of fodder for curtains. anit is funny to think about these events, but a very traumatic and serious. they avoid the fiscal cliff. we are talking about over $607 billion worth of money taken out of the economy next year. lou: i just want to put up the next cartoon that we have. it matters not whih one you select. but this is one of my favorites. the debt commission saying it is very difficult. is very complicated and then cut spending. i don't think you could have cut better on to the essence of the issue. the absurdity creating obstacles to that relution in washi

give them a piece of chalk, go to the blackboard, and show us, mr. ker, what the heck are you talking about? >> well, as speaker boehner, sir, prepares to light the tree, one wonders how much good cheer he's feeling from his conservative senate colleague jim demint who has chastised him today and i'm quoting mr. de ment menthe, speaker boehner's $800 billion tax hike will destroy american jobs and allow politicians in washington to spend even more while not reducing our $16 trillion debt by a single penny, and he continues with this line, big government is the cause of our debt crisis. sir, big government, what about the two big long wars and the big bush tax cuts as being responsible for the in accordance debt? did they have no part to play? >> well, there's no question about that, but the truth of the matter is you start your slashing of government in matter what part, laying off people, throwing them into the unemployment marment, making certain we have no disposable income, can't pay for mortgages, can't pay rent, can't pay for food and services,

pay for that perhaps they planned on selling bongos trousers or bonnets trousers on the international market blackboard well i think the poem you know some about the fred jealousy of the global system you know that you have these g. twenty seven confound. us and they all seem to be talking around the issues meanwhile the state of a global economy is getting more dire more fragile and something like stealing banos trousers could be that straw that broke the camel's back it could be the way for that goes into the man that that money python movie where then explodes you say that's the poem is about it's about it's about fragility in the system. i do seem to recall the bonus child theirs were stolen right at the peak of the bubble the global fine before the global financial collapse happened but you know what this increase in the overseas aid budget i like to look at this headline here poverty barons who make a fortune from taxpayer funded aid budget britain swelling overseas aid budget has created a new group of poverty barons paying themselves up to two million pounds a year for their work helping the di

coming out of blackboard, okay? the--what takes on the distance? divide by the time, i got it. let's take a distance of one wavelength. that's the distance to go from here to here or from here to here or from here to here. if i know the time that goes by during the time a wave goes one wavelength, then i can put that in here and i can have the wave speed. if i were interested in things like that, then we kind of are, aren't we? and what is the time it takes for a wave to go one-- whole cycle? what do we call that time? begins with the p. - period. - period. okay? and so all over here, we can say wavelength over the period of the wave will give you the speed of the wave. but the period of the wave can be re-written, one over the frequency. and those of you who are a little bit into mathematics know that this is equivalent to-- all right, let me write it this way. and so we have a relationship for the speed of any kind of waves, gang. and it simply is the velocity of the wave, the velocity over the speed, speed is the magnitude of velocity. that velocity of the wave is simply gon

in thinking about the first amendment speech clause, it's hard for me to think without a blackboard or chalk. but even it doesn't work because there are at least, at least three different realms for speech production. and if i drew circles it would look like a target, but you would inevitably have a son, more feature to one type of system that another. and i don't think anyone type of speech is a priority over any other. so if you could think of a then graph, on a screen and it shows the circles that move, and they overlap each other, but they're still, all of them, transparent and the circle keeps, it's 360-degree integrity. a circle in and out, sometimes one is on top of another. but if you think of it then graph you can think of at least three components, and the first is of course political speech. this is essential. to the human personality. it's essential to the american democracy. but there are many people that think, rightly so, that there are other things in the world that are more important than politics. art, culture, religion, science, philosophy, sports. whether the empire
