you run a blog on the internet. you can say anything you want to. >> and i do. >> you run the economy, which means there's very little discussion of babies in the economy that you would. >> i would be extremely careful. >> i'm not a produced, but let's just continue in a clinical fashion, shall we? >> i can't give you the clinical fashion. a database is a woman and her partners, they all both the male and female version which is very important. less than half, but more than 10% of infertility can be directly addressed to the man in the equation. so it's just as important that the man participates beyond the obvious. the data that we ask for is all kinds. and we don't require nor do we push the participants who put in all the data being a data driven company means we're ultimately using modeling to narrow down the opportunity to try naturally for a child and as women enter anything from their basil body temperature, taking it at a certain time or morning or their mood or their diets or their exercise level, some of t

you can't start a blog saying i'll blog about this and make all sorts of money. to be depth and content to it. >> millions of bloggers all over the world write about pretty much anything you can imagine from the latest fashion friends to technology and tattoos. some try to make money by advertisements on their blog. the reality is that relatively few bloggers make good money out of it. not that it stops people from trying every week. you'll find colorful streets of mumbai getting her photographs taken in different outfits for her fashion blog. she's been doing this almost a year. even though her blog gets 10,000 visits every month she can't make a living from it. >> this thing i don't have enough comments on my blog section. they won't pay for views. not a single money out of my job. >> back in the office, she is busy discussing ideas with her team. right now only about 20% of ind indiain indians are internet users. while online trends are changing, expect plenty people here to launch blogs about subjects they're passionate about even if that remains a struggle.

the bb economic editor wrote i blogged -- wrote a blog in which he talked about how the ceo was forced. merrill lynch was on the brink of collapse. he says he only mentioned one individual in his blog. there hasible that -- been no comment from the individual. he said he knew nothing about it. says it the article, he is possible that somebody who commented on his article could have requested for something to be removed. therefore the link was broken. this ruling from the eu is quite wide and sprawling. it has raised or kinds of issues. -- all kinds of issues. if we do a search -- it is unscientific. a lot of the results have been scared by the more recent articles talking about the removal of him. >> we have the original article. is nots go back maybe -- easy to find at all. >> at some point, you see the intoes about today blend the past. >> but you can't actually see the link to the article. the topit as one of articles there. >> this of the actual blog on yahoo!. >> yes. it still exists on the bbc website. they can remove it from the bbc website. but the search engine can be asked to

a credentialing process should not exclude scotus blog. there has to be a way to redefine the criteria to accommodate something like scotus blog. there are many business models and media organizations that are different from traditional methods. i think there has to be some accommodation of the new forms of media. >> the question tends to muddle two different areas. the question is the government is allocating access to its public institutions. the only grounds on which it should make those distinctions are content neutral, motive neutral, and should ask whether the enterprise is actually serving as a proxy for the public to get access. to allow citizens to see their government at work. as a first amendment matter, it is hard to see why scotus blog does not have a credential in either place. >> any dissenting opinions? >> you mentioned earlier that you are finishing up a book about justice soto mayor. wanted to tell us more about what that will look like. -- why don't you tell us more about what that will look like? i am curious about whet

scotus blog may or may not satisfy every norm of journalism but that's the wrong question. the government is allocating access to the public institutions and the only grounds to make the distinctions are contract neutral, motive neutral. it should ask whether it's a proxy for the public for access to allow citizens to see their government at work, particularly in a setting where there are no cameras so i think as a 1st amendment, very hard to understand why scotus blog doesn't have a credential in either place. >> any dissenting opinions on that issue? on the panel. i guess not. joan, you mentioned earlier that you're currently finishing up a book of justice sotomayor. why don't you tell us a little more about what that's going to look like and i'm particularly curious, have you spoken to her about schutte since that decision about the dissent and whether she feels it accomplished anything? >> i have spoken to her many times during the course of doing research for this book that's coming out in october. and it's before and after schutte, in fact. and it's unlike the scalia

like can anybody with a blog can anybody with a blog can call -- like can anybody with a blog call themselves a journalist? do these people hold themselves to the standard that the "new york times" or "cbs news" did in the 20th century? if they don't, maybe the obama administration it justified in sort of pursuing leakers in an aggressive way because it would be a chaos in the 18th century. now sort of emboldened by the power of the internet. >> the answer is yes and no. the bloggers think they're journalists, but they're not. a journallest is a profession. where we learn to weigh the facts. we learn to verify the facts. verification is often the most difficult part of reporting. i know that a lot of teachers are involved in this panel. some colleges are giving courses in news literacy. teaching students the question s to ask. given the information called news, it is the responsibility to teach students questions to ask. when you hear this, what does it mean? so that they become critical listeners and are able know it's pamphleteering or it's journalistic and come to their own conclusions. no

in 2004 my son created the blog. the blogs were just coming out and so after my transplant i started writing five days a we week. it's just a great way to start the morning. but in that i think some of the things that i try to develop in book book one and book to certainly in this book about forgiveness, about loyalty, about other things in the book kind of creep into what i'm writing in the book. the same thing with the clyde fitch report which i write twice a month which is a blog, it's actually written as the nexus between part in politics. i'm the politics guy. i'm not the art guy. there are a lot of great write writers. if you have ever picked it up go to clyde fitch report, clyde fitch report.com. some of the best writers i have ever read are on that blog and not made. some of the others. some of the themes about politics have now started creeping in to the books i write. so i think part of it is that you are learning to express yourself a little bit better. as a lawyer i can express myself on the law but it's

and this book and the blog post that took place, the blog and it took place in his book as well as what happened well beyond this book when heritage foundation came out with its paper and then there was a c-span debate and then talk radio picked up on this immediately as result of a c-span debate and the circuiting phone calls in my office after that debate was on c-span, asking my opinion about this. once that happened by the time things were filed in march there was an important public awareness of the constitutional questions that are raised by this case. i've never seen anything like it in my lifetime. i don't know that we'll ever see anything like it again with the public is following just court proceedings way before the appellate, the supreme court gets involved. and this politics is to working. this is concluded remarkable me. we would not have gotten so far, we would've not have gotten five votes for the propositions i just read to you if it hadn't been for the fact that that was a relatively mainstream conclusion for the court to reach, when it reached it. and going forward, t
