us not to let our circumstances define mass. that's not a message it designates well in some circles. you have other people like condoleezza rice, clarence thomas. because of this back-and-forth of name-calling and others in, i felt the need to write about it not just a perspective of policymakers and. if easter parade the issue of race we would be considered conservative but then our allegiances in and fill the volumes are. i started in my view to show integrity from within aligning my jaw used. when people start understanding motivation and things like that, but the basis for dialogue rather than confrontation and a spent talking about what i believe and why i believe it but i also talk about why i think that blacks of the command the have certain views of the world or a particular position on one issue or other, and in doing so, for trying to increase the scope of understanding. i'm a very big believer that if you sit down with the intent to understand and you don't use language that's going to immediately shut down the conversation which talks about how long before an on-line discussion the sultan to someone calling someone

rice as normally. we're expecting 18 to 20 sacks; we used to get only ten to twelve. we even have enough to sell some at the market. >> the experiment is paying off. but not everyone can afford to plant the new variety. for some, it's a losing struggle against poverty. >> the population is increasing, and the resource base remains the same, so if you divide, then the resource to man ratio is declining very fast. with every turn of generation, they are actually dividing the same land and enjoying... by an increasing number of families... more people. >> many country-dwellers are moving to the cities in search of better lives. some 22 million people now live in the greater dhaka area. ahsan ahmed advises government representatives, saying the ministries ought to give more support to the women. and in the long term, the migration to the cities has to be stopped. >> for a country which is trying to do better in future, we must try to understand climate hazards through the eyes of the vulnerable - and through the eyes of the women who are likely to be vulnerable under climate change. >> one of the biggest

circumstances define us but to take charge and be vicors rather than victims, and that's not a message that resonates well within some circles. you have other people like condoleezza rice, clarence thomas, people like ken blackwell, enis, the his goes on people who are willing to present an alternative view, and because of this back and forth of name-calling and other things i felt the need write bit it not just from a perspective of policies and pathologies and all that but a personal perspective. i was raised in a family where our beliefs and our values, the things we were taught, if you stripped away the whole issue of race, we would be considered conservative. then our political aliege januarys didn't aline with the values, and when i went to conditional and started to examine that for myself, didn't understand that dichotomy, and eeventually i started to show a little more integrity within by aligning my values with the way i practice my politics, and i think when people start understanding motivations and understanding whys and where-fors of things like that, then you begin to have the basis for dialogue rather than confrontation. and i spend lot of anytime book

us with details. some say rob portman would be a good choice and then cnn says americans like condoleezza rice. >> thosee plausible candidates or it could be none of those folks. we don't really know who mitt romney is looking at. also, we don't know what is in the people's backgrounds. until you really start investigating their financial history, some of the jobs they have had, so it could be somebody out of the glue that we are not even discussing right now. >> without naming names and going by characterization, who make a good fit for mitt romney? >> it would be someone who would reinforce his message that he is a master on the economy, that he could do much better than president obama in improving the jobs picture, somebody who would have a firm hand overseas. in other words, it might be a boy and joyce, someone who may look like mitt romney but is steady. >> we have learned how spouses can affect the campaigns, but this time we are talking about the dogs. >> this has been unleashed on the public. there's a story of mitt romney's one time dog that was strapped to the top of a roof. and there's talk

rice came in first, then chris christie, marco rubio, paul ryan. marco rubio says no thanks. >> you never believe that. >> rubio has his own version of the dream act where he would give us some children of undocumented immigrants legal status. >> if rubio passes in the vetting process -- assuming he does, he will be the obvious choice. if he says no thanks, he will have a horse's head in his bed and the next day he will accept. [laughter] romney will not take no for an answer. we have ways, we republicans. >> years ago i was interviewing teddy white and i asked a question and he said, "that is an amateur's question." he said the cardinal rule of politics is what is around the corner. we are dealing with unknowns. >> israel could bomb iran, who know what that would do to oil prices. david ignatius at a column this week -- pretty informed b guy -- that there may be a deal in the works on iran so maybe it would not be a threat to the obama administration. word comes out of europe, spain is in a full-blown depression, the specter of a european clubs -- i am sure at the white house is plenty worried about it. >> overspending, they have not adjusted, and now they are going through

rice cave it's also famous for its seventy underground lakes. as a biologist. today and together with his assistant he's checking out the caves flora and fauna that ask us or set up some traps and they hope to catch a unique inhabitant of the water. via temperature inside the cave varies from freezing to above zero the further away from the entrance the warmer it gets from minus fifteen degrees celsius that's about five degrees fahrenheit to four degrees celsius or around thirty nine degrees fahrenheit now look at a found yes yes. this is a winter. quito. he's a frequent cave inhabited. look started moving. i won't be surprised if it flies off. for the first time the scientists have the chance to explore the depths of the lakes. this one is called the lake of deception because the water appears to be moving here. what happens is that the rain water percolate through the ice mountains and drip into the lakes in different places it gives the illusion of movement. phenomenon interference. so now we have to put out the bait. and was used. over here they love this kind of sausage they would never. should be very careful when putting it ours so that we do not lose the trap

and some rice inside of this ceremony you take it back to cook it for whole family, of the dead may be cook healthy [inaudible]. >> well we're very happy to have dr. glenn shive with us thank you very much for coming down here. >> pleasure. >> i'll definitely need some help as you can tell. let me - you're going to china in a couple of days. >> indeed. >> but just a little back ground your interest in china and chinese religions. >> well i studied religion in temple university in philadelphia. and then went in to chinese history and my degree is in chinese history, modern, but also always interested in chinese thought and the classics. i went to taiwan in the years before it was possible for americans to go to the main land to study, i studied classical chinese and so the great writers, philosophers and thinkers at the time and then i ended up writing my dissertation about mao tse-tung, so very i'm much in the contemporary era. so i've kind of done a lot of things in taiwan to shanghai where i taught at east china normal university and later in hong kong, where i'm going again as a full writer. >> okay that's good. how long did it take you to get through grad school?

some of their star players with long- term contracts. negotiations are under way, with quarterback joe flacco. and with running back ray rice. rice is a free agent. but the ravens have used tag on him to make sure she's around for at least this coming season. now, the franchise tag means rice will take more than $7 million this season. but what he really wants is a long-term deal with a bigger bonus. and in many cases, players in rice's position will hold out from off season camp and training camp. the ravens say they understand and they are prepared for that possibility. >> whenever ray shows up, he'll be ready to play. you know? it's no doubt in our mind. and with coach harbaugh wanting 100% participation in every off- season program. and every t.a. and mini camp. yes, he would. but he also knows that's unrealistic also. >> ray rice has rolled up quite a contract. 2,000 total yards rushing. that was the most in the nfl. again, the orioles look to break that two-game losing streak to the yankees. final game of the home stand. i'll have highlights at 11:00. back to you. >> thank you, mark. we'll be right back. ,,,,,,,,,,, >>> don't miss the cbs primetime lineup at 10:00.

some economists say it could derail the fragile economic recovery. rebecca jarvis is here. also with us is former labor secretary robert riceok is "aftershock cloem"aftershock: the next economy and future." good morning. >> good morning. >> is this the next financial crisis? >> charlie, i don't think it's a financial crisis but it could be if the level of student debt continues to mount as we are seeing right now. i mean, a lot of students cannot get jobs in this economy. they have gone into additional education because they couldn't get jobs, but now they're finding that they have more debt they have to pay off and that additional education, although it will pay for itself over the long term, right now is a huge debt burden. >> so -- go ahead. >> mr. rice, the president and-n his state of union address said higher education shouldn't be a luxury. is that what it's becoming or has become in this country, do you think? >> undoubtedly the cost of college education is rising faster than inflation. so, it is becoming harder and harder for students to afford. a lot of state governments -- remember, about 70% of students in colle

us. >> no, not really. apple people, i think. >> jerry rice will be there in afternoon to play connect with some lucky people.soft already has one store in silicon valley, and it's located in valley fair mall right across from the apple store there. >>> sal is back, busy morning. how is 880 doing? >> it's slow now, dave. driving over to downtown oakland, if you have a job there and you probably take this freeway or used to the slow traffic here at high street, 580 is slow out of san leandro, and slow again getting over to the lakeshore curve. it's pretty slow out of san leandro. we had an earlier crash on eastbound 580, near seminary. it does appear kind of slow traffic going the other way, even though oakland fire has cleared the scene. it has been pretty slow there getting from let's say san leandro out to highway 13. let's move along and look at the commute at the bay bridge toll plaza. there are no major problems here. as i was speaking looks like we just got a new crash popped up on the board on 580 westbound, on the way over to san quinten, which is just off the richmond bridge. and you can see castro v

us if you would, please. some more interesting things about kim jong il whose son now runs the country. he at one point said that he was having his staff inspect the rice he eats to make sure that all the rice are the same size. he had schools teach people that his birth led to it a spontaneous rainbow breakout. and in addition, that he does not go to the bathroom. he imported german cars, czech beer, caviar and swedish prostitutes as his people starved to death. he injected himself, well, i'm not even going to go into the rest of it. you get the bic picture. i can tell that you our correspondent greg palkot is traveling with a very tightly held media group in north korea and pyongyang and go to him in just a moment. for the latest from a media briefing that i'm informed has just happened in pyongyang. greg mentioned there an hour and a half or so, i think he said 150 miles or sod from launch site when they are in pyongyang. earlier today, i guess it was yesterday, their time, the media were led around and given a sort of show and tell of things. they were promised a media event. explainer of what happened with this rocket launch. it's my understanding

people can go to work and raise their children and by their rice and whatever, then secure some stability for the place and then start usingour intelligence, and that's what the phoenix program, the overall program specification. get with the villagers. it's not a shooting war between us and some guy running around in the trouble. it's kitchen of the villagers and what are their needs and then learned through them. and phoenix was the kind of tip of this year. that's where the villagers help identify who the vietcong were and the north vietnamese and they would go out and interrogate them and hopefully turn them. he would say it's fun to kill bin laden or a couple of other higher-ups' but you don't want to be killing the mid level guy. you want to capture them and interrogate them and maybe best of all split them, get them to work for us. c-span: they were the south vietnamese were supposedly communist and involved in the fighting in the government. how long was he involved in the program and when did it lot in the controversy? >> the war had gone badly in terms of the conventional attack and general abrams came in and sai

circumstances define us but to take charge and be victors rather than victims and that is in the message that resonates well in some circles. you have other people like condoleezza rice clarence thomas, people like kenneth blackwell, niger ennis, the list goes on, of people that are willing to present an alternative view. because of the back-and-forth of name-calling and other things, i felt the need to write about it not just turn the perspective of policies and pet colleges and all that a personal perspective because i was raised by family where our beliefs and values and things we were taught, if you strip away the whole issue of race we would be considered conservative. that than our political allegiances didn't align in the values and when i went away to college and i started to examine that for myself, i didn't understand that the economy, and eventually i started to in mauney view show a little more integrity from within by aligning my values with the way that i practiced my politics. and i think when people start understand the motivations and understanding the law is and things like that then you begin to have the basis for the dialogue rather than confronta

raised some concerns about that rice si las vegas conference -- pricey las vegas conference and how it might be portrayed in the press. jim angle, chief washington correspondent, has this for usello, jenna. well, it's always good to worry about these things in advance even if you don't do anything about them. executives were worried about the appearance of the lavish trips, a recognition the agency was doing something it thought was, indeed, controversial. officials worried that "the washington post," for instance, would describe the trips as gsa spending almost a million dollars at a time of high employment and a down economy. just about the way they have, indeed, been portrayed. they also worried about how all that would be seen by the public as well as what the congressional reaction would be, both well-founded concerns as it turns out. and now investigators have also found that gsa interns had a conference at the palm springs riviera resort and spa which included a catered awards ceremony, but it still paid the employees a per diem allowance for food by classifying a $75-$100 buffet as light refreshments. some also reportedly stayed in suites which the resort describes as
