i'm a research professor in the school in marine sciences at the university of maine. now what we're trying to do with our lobster research is to try to develop forecasting tools for trends in the fishery, and also try to come to a better understanding of how climate change is influencing the distribution and abundance of lobsters throughout its geographic range. one always we're trying to do that is to monitor the pulse of baby lobsters that settle to the see bed every year. i see these projects as almost a canary in the coal mine where it gives us a sense, 678 years out. whether or not we're going to see a sun decline and landings. unfortunately, with our standard diver based sampling, we're really limited as to how deep we can go. we're trying to extend our reach into deep water and now we're using these bio collectors that are deployed from, from fishing boats. so basically they're, they're wire mesh boxes lined with finer mesh that keeps the baby lobsters and crabs and other animals in covered with one and a half inch one final coda wire mesh top and they have brid

there is wonderful histories of main units some of which are still in print. in the university of maine has good manuscripts, bolton has good manuscripts so i'm really not aware that the main have been given the short stick but perhaps they have but not my role they haven't. >> seventy brother book about main troops in gettysburg and this was not all that bad. [laughter] >> actually visit to the professor but she cannot be here. what was the role of the desertion during the war read. >> it absolutely is a type of dissent and focused on the confederate side and they can mean a number of things, who can bring from - two men waiting down the commands placed on people back home and become so great they feel compelled that they have to be with the army and then to the few, it's a statement that's a pure rejection of the confederacy which almost never know me almost never veered towards unionism and then the things you can't forget is all of that is that physical world that that soldier inhabited at that particular time in the military situation within that particular outfit gets dow

the university of maine is one of those universities that provides vital research to the military. because we always have to be thinking not about the last war or the last conflict, but the future, and everybody in this room knows that the future is going to be based upon newer and newer and newer technologies. so research is an essential part of building the strength of this country. i worked for the last two years on something called the national cyberspace solarium commission. our job was to come together to form and recommend, recommend a national strategy in cyberspace to defend this country, which we did in march of 2020. a number of the recommendations of our commissions -- commission were enacted last year, either in the national defense authorization act or in other areas of legislation that we passed, and this year there are some really crucial ones in this year's national defense authorization act. crucial provisions to defend this country in cyberspace. mr. president, the next 9/11 will be cyber. and if we are not ready for it after all the warnings that we've had, sham

of the main drivers of this upsurge in cases in poland at the moment. also, school openings. children are back in schools and students are back at the universities. places are not doing much regarding infection control measures, so people are very close to each other. this is another factor which drives this surge in cases. rob: if the situation continues and the figures continue, what do you think is going to be the impact longer term in poland? >> it depends. we have already developed some scenarios, but everything depends on which assumptions you make in the beginning. in this worst-case scenario, when the government is doing nothing to stop new cases, we will maybe end up with 35,000 cases reported every day. according to this prognosis, we will face around 40,000 deaths in the end of this fourth wave. rob: let me ask you something mentioned earlier, referring to the fact that the vaccines do seem to be having an impact because overall the number of hospitalizations and subsequent deaths seems to be falling. is that something that is going to persuade people unwilling, up to this point, about having the vaccine? do you think that is the kind

university of california, san francisco. he joins us live by zoom. thanks very much for being with us. oh, what do you think of the main causes for this big rise in overdoses? oh, well, we've had a 20 year. unprecedented climb in guest new drug overdoses. what's driving most recently is festival cove. it has had a huge impact have 18 months. but even if we took covert away, we would have been seen a year over year over year arrive in offense related death. and now the latest claim is methamphetamine related deaths. and tell us about more about fennel and why it's playing such a big part in this. so fentanyl is the synthetic of the friends we're talking about here is the list of small talk from cynical version. it's super potent, it's about a 100 times as potent as morphine by weight to makes it $30.00 to $40.00 times is potent heroine. it's been infiltrated into the heroine supply as an adult friend as a, as a poisoning, if you will. in the eastern half the united states, and then the last couple years, it's pretty westward. and so one of the reasons why we're seen overdose just climbing, spreading geographically at th

absolutely as a matter of fact, one of the most prominent donors at the university at hastings. joe cotchett class of about 1964 has been one of the maingroup activists alumnus group in the organization at hastings, and clearly, he has been leading the charge to get the name changed as a matter of fact. the law center couch at law center. he says his name camp stay on that center. if unless the name hastings is taken off, that's been the same attitude of most of the people. that i have spoken to our have called me. the vice president of the united states of america, camilla the arrows graduated from hastings as well and i suspect if she was asked her reaction would be identical. because she's probably more militant on the issue than most. yeah state senator scott wiener, who represents the district that includes you see, hastings is in fact looking at legislation to change the name willie brown. willie really appreciate your time this afternoon. thank you so much. thank you very much for the opportunity. the second and final week of the u. n climate conference is underway in glasgow, scotland, five state senators from here in californi

and i think this is one of the main drivers of the upsurge of cases in poland at the moment, but also school opening children back and schools students back out to the universities. and these places are not having much regarding doing much regarding implementing infection control measures. so people are very close to each other. and this is another factor which drives this search in cases where if they, the situation continues and the figures continue. as we're saying at the moment, what do you think is going to be the impact longer term in poland? well, it depends. we have already developed some scenarios, but of course, i think depends on which assumptions you make in the beginning. so in the, in the worst case scenario. well, the government is practically doing nothing to stop new cases. so well, maybe end up with 3035000 cases reported every day and then according to be assessed and we will face around 40000 deaths in the in the end of this way. lawrence, let me ask you something about that. i know these mentioned earlier on, she's referred to the fact that the vaccines do seem to be having an impact. because overall, the number of hospitalized hospitalizati

of people intended it to mean. there is some that's totally understandable. but as susan said this is not universal. there are places where legislators have the last word on what the constitution's main. other countries think about this very differently. it is not a novel thing you brought up but it is sort of unique to the united states we have the issue of judicial supremacy where the court is the last word and that is of course until the people amend the constitution to say it with the last word is to be picked. >> or the supreme court changes its mind. >> that very much against her jamaal's point how the court should see the evil of its ways. but the counter majoritarian part of what were telling here is we need them to be counter because the judges are insulated they drop the answer to politics federal judges including supreme court justices get life tenure therefore they can stand up to popular will i think maybe he will introduce the footnote idea we also teach in constitutional law but in the 1930s there is with a very famous footnote, footnote four the idea footnote four is the court has a special role it plays a counter majority rule in three different areas number one fund

main, certainly a major reason to despise nixon. jimmy carter gave this view in one of its classic formulations in his famous 1977 speech at notre dame universityn part, for too many years we've been willing to adopt the flawed and erroneous principles and tactics of our adversaries, sometimes abandoning our values for theirs. vietnam, he said, is just the best example of the intellectual and moral poverty of u.s. policy choices. but he blasted nixon's decision make more generally, assailing his tendency to indulge in what carter called an inordinate sphere of communism and the embrace of any dictator who joined us in that sphere. this kind of criticism perhaps peaked in the early 21st century with the publication of christopher hitchens' book about malevolent decisionmaking during the nixon presidency. what these expressions of hostility to nixon share in common, i think, is the sense that in seeking stability in the third world, nixon had departed from honored american tradition, both in the content of his policies, especially his low regard for democracy as either a practice or a goal, and the cynicism that lay at the heart of his political
