here this chicago. here in chicago. so there are -- maybe you could just start, if you don't mind, by what is a futures contract? >> right. i know you know a lot of people that think it's a very mysterious, arcane type of business, but futures contracts are, essentially, insurance products, and that was the reason that the industry first developed. it was, futures contracts are a way to, to offset risk on the part of both people who need to use commodities and people who produce commodities. and, you know, very simply, a futures contract with is a contract between a buyer and a seller for a specific commodity at a specific price for a specific future delivery date. and i guess, you know, the easiest way to explain it in the terms of how it's used by people to offset risk, i think one of the simplest examples is you take an airline company, someone who needs to use a lot of fuel on a regular basis. and, of course, if fuel prices go up, it can have a severe adverse impact on their profitability. so an airline company real

this was also teaching the university of chicago. my question, since the last two years we have seen a behavior, very unto israel, confrontational, and very seems to want to be the saddle of the palestinian state. what is the relationship? >> that is an excellent question. the answer was available in 2008. the los angeles times had a videotape of the doing away dinner in chicago. they talk about it. the article was headlined kamal bama, a friend of the palestinian state. they would not share the contents of that video. reno there were talking about, making reference to the israelis as nazis. the new york times the mccain campaign said this is news. hold on to that, it's kept under the rug. we know that obama got up going. thanks to the ideas that they share together. the problem with barack obama is that there is some much we don't know even today. a big question, that accent. thank you. appreciated. this, sir. >> mentioned right before the last campaign you came out publicly and thought it restored to potentially be the end of obama

another hyde park radical in chicago he wrote a book called resurrecting empire. do you know how the acknowledgement section starts? quote, first -- this is how it starts. first chronologically and every other way comes bill ayers. bill ayers was his editor-in-chief in hyde book, the guy who helped him put it together. that's a service he provided. that's not a crazy guy that bill ayers is actually involved with dreams for my father. another thread that i got involved in was the question of post-modernism and post-modernism is sort of like pornography. it's one of the things that's hard to describe but when you see it you know it. basically it means that you reject like judeo-christian view of the world and you impose your own reality on it and you construct the reality and you impose it on the world. that doesn't sound like it makes much sense but it doesn't but it's there. you can recognize it when you see it. ayers' own memoir is laced with equal or constructed reality and so to his dreams here's what obama says but another part of me knew that what i was telli

chicago stored 5 goals. blackhawks go on for a 6-3 win. sharks travel to dallas tomorrow to take on the stars. nice 1st period. 2nd period blow out. chicago a winner tonight. here is why the warriors aren't go. they go to sacramento. marcus gets off. a career high 42 points tonight. samuel had career high 27. and keith smart, i don't think it's any question, she coaching for his job this final month. and they couldn't stop thorton. sacramento led by 25. the warriors made it respectable. but thorton was unstoppable. warriors beat up by a bad team. the bay area men are shut out of the ncaa tournament. tar, a number one seed on the women's side. uconn is a number 1 seed, baylor, tennessee. by being number one, stanford gets uc davis at home saturday and would remain at home. everything in stanford's favor. >> we are excited we have three teams from the pac 10 in the ncaa tournament. the pac 10 is a great conference. you know, i was hoping if we could meet ucla again it would be in minneapolis. we want to do the best week. >> back to the men's

tribune and a "chicago sun-times" and the chicago daily news, there were all kinds of great newspapers in chicago at the time, and my parents were avid newspaper readers. so seeing the bylines in the newspaper there and that people were covering things about murders and fires and politics, i just decided that's -- i had to do that. >> and you go, and you tell your parents this is what you've decided, you want a career as a journalist. what do they say? [laughter] >> silly girl. silly little girl. you can't be a journalist. women don't do that. and, certainly, black women don't do that. you need to go become a teacher, so you can take care of yourself. you can always get a teaching job. but we don't want to spend tuition -- it was a struggle for them to get my tuition together for me. and it was, like, you need to be a teacher or a nurse or a social worker. that's just about all the things young women in the early '60s would aspire to. and i was just, no, i don't want to do that. i really want to do this. so there were a lot of fights in my household and a lot of slamming of my door and
