this is a helium nucleus. and i'll write that helium nucleus like this. and i'll put a two down here and a four here. and this nomenclature, i hope you're familiar with. this is simply the atomic number. it tells you it's atomic number two in the periodic table of substances, yeah? it's got two positive charges. and the four refers to the atomic mass unit. and that's the number of nucleons altogether. i call this, by the way, nucleons. i can call you a people, a person, but a person can be a male or female. nucleon can be a proton or neutron. see what i'm saying? but there's four nucleons altogether, so it has a mass of four and atomic number two. so that would be the configuration. if i put another proton in there, then it would now be-- does anyone know? it would be the element lithium because now it would have three and up here would be five. and any nucleus that has three protons, by definition and by chemical properties, will be that which we call lithium. and you guys know about that, the number of protons in the nucleus dictate what the nucleus is.

the nucleus. easy or hard? begin with the h. kinda big. there's nuclear forces, honey, and you're gonna pull against that nuclear force. it's gonna be hard to pull a nucleon out of that, gang. it's gonna be very hard to pull it out of there. you know what the hardest one to pull out is? an iron. you say to iron, "iron, honey, man, you got hardly any mass in your nucleons." iron says, "try pulling me out." [makes sounds] it's gonna take an awful lot of work to pull that nucleon out of iron. more out of iron than anything else. and when you pull these nucleons out, it takes work to do that. you need to work on that, like stretching a spring, you give it more and more what? begin with the e. energy. energy. and guess how that energy has manifest. begin with the m. mass. mass. and the nucleon will have more energy which is to say, equals-- which was easy to say will have more mass outside the nucleus than inside. and in there lies the secret of nuclear energy because the graph of the nucleons would be

bacteria that does not have a nucleus with dna. we have plants but then those that do have a nucleus but, by their name they are carrying evolutionary baggage. because bacteria comes before the nucleus containing cells containing cells. other aspects of where they've refer to one organism to another common the evidence the gene is concerned, it is similar. all the evidence the genes are similar. one saying that i find people think of pollution is a fact but they don't recognize the assumption that is there. part of what i tried to do was emphasized evolution assumption to contrast with creation assumption. >>host: may talk with professor david dewitt at the chair of the biology department "unraveling the origins controversy" is the name of the book published by creation curriculum. >> lisa miller is a woman i met to one decade ago involved in a homosexual relationship. she tried to leave but unfortunately found herself battling to keep per child for herself and away from her former same-sex partner to be treated like a divorce case

these ourselves that do not have a nucleus with dna. we have other cells, all animals, they have a nucleus, they contain dna. that's called -- well, by the name, by the name, prokaryote, pruning before, and ukaryote, u meaning new, they are carrying baggage because bacteria are said to come before a nucleus contains so. just by the name. and so there are other aspects of this where they will refer to a gene being concerned from one organism to the other. well, the evidence that the gene is conserved is it is similar from one organism to the other. well, then really on the evidence that we have is that the genes are similar. linking them and saying it is evolutionary, that's an interpretation that was imposed. one thing that i really find is, if people think that evolution is a fact, that common ancestry evolution is a fact, and they don't recognize the assumptions that are there, so part of what i try to do through the book was emphasized the evolutionist of assumptions, and contrast that with creationist assumptions. >> we have been ta

there's going to be a day when so much of the nucleus is going to be someplace else that you're going to wake up and say if 2/3 of our r and d staff is over there, why don't we just move the r and d center there. >> i find it a frustrating part of the competitiveness debate. there are a lot of things that they're growing faster business wants to be near those opportunities. but to lose investment because of a lack of skilled workforce, seems something the u.s. ought to be able to deal with. >> any other comments on the corporate world? >> i would just add that apart from a variety of initiatives that both carried out in the private sector and led by governments to improve the supply of technology workers that i think many industries are also addressing in a sense the demand side of that equation. a number of studies have been done in recent years looking within aero space and defense as kind of our home industry sector at the efficiency with which companies use their engineering and scientific brain power and these studies have pointed to areas where we could make improvements. where

we have put a lot of thought into this plan and really wanting to build a foundation for a nucleus of things that we can deliver in a feasible way and to move ahead to sort of all-out retreated -- creativity and innovation of san francisco and the san francisco bay area in general to really make this a one-of-a-kind event, so with that, i will go through a few slides. to begin with, and wanted to go over the changes to the event plan at a high level. really, there was the field or envelope of what was studied in the environmental review document under ceqa, and trying to use that, to understand what it would be like to deliver the events in a way that would make this waterfront event work well, so we consolidated the event of sites with the event authority for their needs going forward, but some of these were removed from the short term plans, so those sites are now still held by the port, and the revenues from renting of those sites will still accrue to the port and thus reduce the need for the general fund to backfill those revenues under what was approved last year. there is also i

he is part of the nucleus of that team.rsday night's's game for but that does not mean the club is accepting it. washington released a statement saying they disagree with the ruling and do not know why other hits it not be reviewed at enter the series. bax drama is a key component for the offense and everybody in the locker room as it. --backstrom is a key component. >> he is a big loss for us. you have to do what you have to do. having him out is not good. at the same time, we have done it before. we are going to -- we will grind it out. we will see. >>bacvkkstrom is not the only one taking a hit for a heat. this phoenix coyote is suspended indefinitely for that hit in game 3 in their opening round playoff series. he was carried out on a stretcher and was briefly hospitalized. >> the nationals have won seven out of their past eight games finally living up to the franchise potential this town always hopes for. that is largely thanks to some stellar pitching. the starters have registered a very low era of 1.70 incredible. go

houston found about 300 volunteers in gonzalez, men who formed the nucleus of the san asinto army. houston took stock of the forces at his disposal, the facts and figures gave him little reason for optimism. okay, i'm not going to bother breaking this down. bottom line is that houston had at his disposal about 1,014 men. and these are spread from over about a 200-mill perimeter. now, what of the enemy forces? houston had no notion how many men santana had. but he knew his excellency had considerably more than he did. and it was probably better that houston did not know how many more. santana had left saltillo with about 7,000 effectives. but illness, exposure and combat losses at the alamo had taken their toll. yet they still had well over 6,000 men under his command. houston had a tad over 1,000. it was obvious that houston could not defend gonzalez with the meager forces in hand. he would have to retire northward in hope of consolidating his scattered units. a few days later, the general explained his reasoning and in correspondence to collinsworth. this is what he wrote. we coul

so where to is an apart tied -- atart hide sandreags that's why the people here became the nucleus against the white minority rule. we've come here to see whether the lives of the people have improved in the west since the end of apartheid. south africans throughout the country would tell you that lives have changed dramatically here. they scored paved roads. they have got clean water, electric tim. there are a lot more new houses. and hospitals and schools. but while all of that has been achieved since 1994, there is still a huge crime problem. and we are beginning to see that cancer of corruption looming in this country. a lot of has been achieved, yes, it's true, south africa has for example hosted successfully the 2010 fifa world cup. south africa has had democratically elected presidents, changing governments, the first with nelson mandela. and now, jacob zuma is coming to the end of his first term but will there's are huge problems of poverty skin equality. so 18 years since the end of apartheid, south africa has achieved a lot especially with -- >> this is "g.m.t." from "bbc world n

but the media industry is more about entertainment yes for nucleus come out of the country the american public treated to a simply scripted blog buster in a faraway land it's where all the people who rise up against dictatorship and based on that it's very quickly we're going to lose three weeks and then they live happily ever after so they're going to want to even think about the mess that is happening is that in a position well syrian certainly do. as you can see a syrian living and working in los angeles says western media have blindly adopted the official line of their government's been a chicken and then a chicken the sources of their stories and there is a lot of the exaggeration the syrian government has presented as evil and the opposition noble but who and how very they are is left out you sort of take the path of least resistance and that often leads to distorting news and information the public doesn't really get any context or background that's what's scary. the west and qatar in favor of regime change will not acknowledge the presence of armed forces including al qaida on t

largest, and because of its location, its proximity to the mansion, it seems likely that it served the nucleus of the slave population and those that worked in the household, the tradesmen that ran the blacksmith shop and cared for the garden and the stables, this clearly emerges as the most important. we also hosted reunions of descendants of montpelier slaves, so we have learned some of the oral traditions about how burials were carried out during slavery and some of the beliefs attached to that. and that's given us some more insight into the meaning and significance of this cemetery. the last reunion we had which was in 2008, we had over 100 people attend. and really the evidence is all oral tradition. it's an understanding of where they came from, who their ancestors were, and we've worked very hard with many of those members to record those oral traditions and we have started tracing out what became of some of the montpelier slaves after the end of slavery. the best insight we have in to madison's treatment of slaves comes from a man named paul jennings. he was born a slave here at montpe

the federal environmental review process goes on, but we hope this creates a nucleus for a very feasible project so our partners can move ahead and feel that they have the appropriate commitments. lastly, our cost projections for reduce costs for the 2012 schedule, that is due to a small reduction in the number of racing dates as well as the overlap with fleet week. we feel we can share resources in terms of getting people around the waterfront in a way that may save america's cup costs. the economic projections did not include the 2012 events, so these reconfigurations actually do not decrease this sort of dynamics behind what those projections were meant to measure. obviously, the task is on us now to move ahead and deliver on those projections, but i want to make sure it to say that that is not a loss to the city and that the television exposure has been announced but nbc broadcasting as well as hopefully a great spectacle with fleet week and allowing it to be interlocked with the america's cup events. moving to a summary of the resolution amendments as a whole that i think will be in

and he put together what i would consider to be na that safety investigation board the nucleus of the team that we worked with throughout our seven months to try to get to the bottom of the root causes for those incidents. in the may time frame, as general hogue was presenting his update brief to the chief and secretary and to the commander of the air combat command, the air force experienced three physiological incidents in the f-22 between the last couple of days of april and the first three days of may, and at that point chose to ground the fleet. it was also at that time that general hogue, based on the investigations that he had run and the tests, primary ground tests and protocols for the ground test of the life support system of the aircraft, it was his recommendation to the chief and secretary that they establish a broad area review team to look at things besides just the f-22 life support system as it is, but rather, how it got -- how it was developed what si led to some of the incidents that perhaps had occurred and also to ensure that we better understood not just the f-22

charges in the nucleus, okay, which don't move very much, okay? and charges, which orbit around, and those of the electrons. those electrons, gang, make up little electric currents. but in most atoms-- and this is in your chapter. in most atoms, you have as many going one way as the other way, it turns out the spin of the electron is even more important. you have as many spins one way as the other way and one effect cancels the other, and so, net effect. but there's one iron-- i mean, there's one atom in the periodic table, which has the-- say a net spin of four. four more spins one way than the other so you get a net effect, and guess what that element is? iron. iron. that's what iron is. and that's why you find iron is said to be ferromagnetic getting into that kind of thing. i wanna show you something that's even more interesting than what would seem. let's take this magnet. i'm going to put the wire in the magnetic field of this magnet and i'm gonna touch this momentarily so i get a pulse of current. and when i do that, when a current goes thr

in the meantime, you've got toke toke -- to be able to keep the nucleus here. what i fear is there's going to be a day when so much of the nucleus is going to be someplace else like india that you're finally going to wake up and say, you know what? if two-thirds of our r&d staff is over there, why don't we just move the r r&d center there? >> yeah. there are a lot of things, india's growing faster, china, brazil, obviously, businesses want to be near those opportunities, but to lose investment because of lack of a skilled work force seems to be something the u.s. ought to be able to deal with. any other comments on that, on the corporate role or anything? >> well, i would just add that apart from a variety of initiatives to, that both carried out in the private sector and led by governments to improve the supply of technology workers, i think many i industrs are also addressing in a sense the demand side of that equation a number of studies have been done in recent years looking within aerospace and defense as kind of our home industry sector , at the efficienc

the atoms have a central nucleus, say positive. and around that nucleus orbit, say, a little particle called an electron, and this carries the negative part of the charge. it's this little electron that carries the negative charge that makes up electric currents in wires--electron. it turns out this and this, these charges are opposite and which belies a fundamental rule of electricity. opposite charges... attract. --attract. and like charges... repel. repel. repel. that's right. and so the negative charge is being attracted to the positive charge and whirls around, around, around in a very loose sense, in almost an incorrect sense. but we can think of it like a sun here and a planet going around and around and around. the force that holds the planet to the sun is the force that we don't understand it very well. we have a name for it begins with g. what is it? gravity. gravity. and the force that holds the electron to the proton is the force we call... electricity. begins with the e. -- ends with a l. electrical. electrical. it's t
