we are back with the blackboard. i like the blackboard.e talked about each candid it's a strategy to get to the magic 270 electoral vooes needed to win, but there is a possibility, and that is what we are going to talk about tonight, that this could end an electal college tight. there are 32 ways in which that could happen. thirty-two. it is not entirely the unthinkable. let's go over one of the most plausible possibilities. right now president obama can safely count on 201 electoral votes. that is unchanged from yesterday. romney can safely count on 191. that is changed. that has changed because north carolina, and let me bring this up today here. north carolina was moved to the tossup category just yesterday. that accounts for the 15 votes that moved away. so where he had at 206, 206 to 201, now 191. and let's turn now tto of romney who needs to win north carolina. he is still up in the polls by a significant margin, but four points. yesterday it was more than five. we have that. romney would need also to win, just as before, the state o

we fill the blackboard with any number of bible stories, and then play that old, "if you had to go a desert island and you could only take three things with you, which three would you choose?" when jews vote, it's almost like a genetic imprint - perhaps successful jewish education for a few thousand years. the first three, they always vote for en masse - the majority - is the story of creation, the story of exodus, and the story of sinai, the making of the covenant, the giving of the torah. so somehow it works. those in judaism are the - that's the myth, as you put it, that is a way of expressing truth for us, the existential truth. the three archetypal stories - that is, you move in - even in our liturgy, the original liturgy is organized that way - you move from creation, but then religiously, the rabbis reverse the chronology - you move from creation, through the event of sinai - that is, the people entering into covenant, the giving of the teaching, and from there, to the universal exodus. but of course the exodus story is part of the mentality of the jewish people. so it's like

coming out of blackboard, okay? the--what takes on the distance? divide by the time, i got it. let's take a distance of one wavelength. that's the distance to go from here to here or from here to here or from here to here. if i know the time that goes by during the time a wave goes one wavelength, then i can put that in here and i can have the wave speed. if i were interested in things like that, then we kind of are, aren't we? and what is the time it takes for a wave to go one-- whole cycle? what do we call that time? begins with the p. - period. - period. okay? and so all over here, we can say wavelength over the period of the wave will give you the speed of the wave. but the period of the wave can be re-written, one over the frequency. and those of you who are a little bit into mathematics know that this is equivalent to-- all right, let me write it this way. and so we have a relationship for the speed of any kind of waves, gang. and it simply is the velocity of the wave, the velocity over the speed, speed is the magnitude of velocity. that velocity of the wave is simply gon

i gave my blackboard up for tonight so there would be no hard feelings.o with the fancy stuff. the national polls that showed a close race throughout the season. generally within the margin of error. we want to ring you up-to-date on where the candidates stand 12 days before election day. we are going to bring to you whatever developments each evening that occur on the electoral map and whatever shifts there may be in voter sentiment. remember, there are 538 total electoral votes. as we all know, it has been drummed into our heads. the winner needs 270 of those votes. according to real clear politics, romney can count on 206 electoral votes. the president can count on 201. the fact of the matter is, given the matter of the swing state of north carolina, that gives him more than a five-point lead in the polling average bear. let's take a look at the romney strategy. with us now 206 and 201 balance between the two candidates in electoral votes. the romney strategy as known cleverly as 321. the three means that he needs to take back three traditionally repub

nails on a blackboard. >> ruler on a bottle. >> chalk on a blackboard. >> that's right, and nails on a knife on a chalk on a fork on a glass, okay? >> that's pretty bad. >> what's your favorite worst sound? >> i will say, if i'm trying to sleep, can i not tolerate any sound, breathing, air conditioner going on. >> breathing. >> snoring. >> like any sound. a ticking clock. i have taken a ticking clock and put it outside the door. >> i was calling at 3:00 in the morning, what is the trash noise outside? >> breathing. >> breathing. >> that's why you're still single. >> natalie. >> wow, natalie. >> whoa! >> but the good thing is, not picking on any of her insecurities. >> you know what i do? i roll my husband on to the other side. i just go like this, over. >> i do the nudge. stop snoring. >> natalie, your worst sound other than hurting somebody. >> oh, she's knows it's all in fun. i think chewing in general, smacking, you know, what people are -- yeah. that sound. it's that. >> chewing gum. >> a big one. even food in general. my kids are doing it. it's like oh, not good. >> soleil. >> i

he comes back and it was the blackboard and 300 years later technology has changed every industry.stry in journalism, yours in politics and leadership. but education has not been transformed. one of the things that is happening now in innovative classrooms is what is called flipping the classroom where the lecture is done electronically online. you watch a teacher give a great lecture. you do some of the lessons online intertively. then you come to the classroom in order to collaborate, do projects problem solving with the teachers. that would be a game changer and that's what technology could do for us. >> gavin: just briefly as we talk stem, stem, stem, but what i keep hearing you say creativity, arts are we missing the "a" in stem theme. >> well, steve jobs believed the arts training added to his ability to stand at the intersection of the arts and sciences. whenever he launched a new products the very end of the presentation would be that slide on the screen of the liberal arts street intellecting with science. i think we always have to keep that in mind. there will be more peo

we'll just wipe it off the blackboard and then we'll say whatever we want to say. they are not going to own up to anything. >> i hope you remember because right after the election i hope you do one with of two things. >> bill: you are going to come back and we are run down all the polls. >> including the conservative polls that say. >> absolutely. >> that mitt romney is going to win by 8 points. if that doesn't happen, i mean, i hope you -- i hope you question some of these people and say what were you thinking about? >> bill: well, we already have a piÑata set up for morris outside. he is going to be swinging. if romney gets murdered morris is going to be. >> let me reflect my bias. i hope dick morris is absolutely correct. >> bill: well, a lot of people do. and, you know, but the polls we're really going to start to pay attention to them monday after the debate. it's going to take three or four dedays for the debate to sink in they will be on the internet. that's where most people will watch it. not on live time. they will be doing whatever people are doing. danc

you know, a person standing in front of a blackboard during a lecture. >> you say colleges are goinges? >> well, i do think -- >> in a way? >> it's funny, if you look at every business, that old core, whether it's the movie business with theaters and colleges with bricks and mortar campuses or stores with bricks and mortar stores, so much of what was once the center is now being eroded by digital, by other platforms. and it's a kind of creative destruction which is often beneficial. >> what do you do about costs, rick? because they've exploded above and beyond the rate of inflation. it's not just expensive to get in but even if you do get in with a loan, people are saddled with loans for decades after college. is there any way to stop the rate of growth of that? >> there's almost $1 trillion now of college debt among students. it's roughly equal to what credit card debt is. costs of private colleges are going up. costs at public colleges are going up because there's fewer -- there's less government support for it. but one of the things you see in private four-year colleges is that it
