yes you compare forty two thousand dollars is what it cost to go to columbia university right here in new york and it's more than a year and harvard's just to send your kid out to become a wizard it's the price right out of the ballpark i see it cost serious because it doesn't exist. there you go yeah you see even don lemon the anchor realize how freaking ridiculous and stupid this story was because it's not real there's nothing going on in the world no wars bannon's droughts debt disasters maybe you'd have to start talking about made up fantasy land schools but no actually that would never happen because we don't live in a fantasy world there is more content to report on than anybody out there can handle but your most trusted name in news they like to call themselves went with that you know if you're going to talk about money being spent. you know how are almost fifty thousand troops that are still in iraq are supposed to leave soon or at least they're supposed to unless of course the iraqis ask them to stay but the point here is that it was agreed upon long ago that they would withd

betsy sparrow of columbia university.l use the internet. >> right. >> we use search engines each and every day. are we losing our memory here? >> i don't think so. i think what we're doing is just reprioritizing what we remember. so we tend to remember where we find things over the things themselves. and i'm not actually sure that's damage, the way you put it. i think that it could be taking away the emphasis on memorization could be allowing us to understand conceptual things and allowing us to apply them to new situations and stuff like that. so those are the implications i'll be looking at. >> like learning how to fish, shall we say, as opposed to each and every fish. >> but also what to do with that fish. even if you don't remember all the details you get the underlying point possibly. >> does this mean we're more creative then? >> we don't know yet. that's the next step i'm working on. >> what's your hypothesis? >> i'm hoping so. >> you're hoping we're more creative. those are the early indications. is this good or b

we checked with columbia university and they say slaves had no legal right to marry. slave families had no legal existence. male slaves were particularly valued so they were often separated from their children. sold, traded to others. the word, no family rights. the marriage pledge has a footnote citing the source. but it turns out one of the authors of the studies cited in the pledge in the footnote was contacted by ""forbes" magazine saying the claim is just wrong. a serious error. with outrage over incorrect history, the organization behind the pledge removed the entire paragraph mentioning slavery. if you think they admitted a mistake you would be mistaken. a spokeswoman for the organization tells politico, quote, we agree the statement references children born into slavery can be misconstrued and such can detract from the core message of the marriage vow. it was not meant to be racist. it was a fact that back in the days of slavery there was usually a husband and wife. we were not saying at all that things are better for african-american children in slavery days

columbia university researchers say we may no be remembering as many facts as we used to because we know we can get that from the internet. they call it the google effect. psychologists say we are capable of remembering things that are not easily found online and our brains are more likely to remember where to find things. but they add that explains why some people feel a great loss when their internet connection goes down. >>> today president obama will meet with ruby bridges at the white house. bridges became the first african american child to attend an all white elementary school in new orleans. this norman rock well painting shows bridges on her way to school escorted by federal marshals. ruby bridges now 56 years old still lives in new orleans. she travels to schools around the country telling her story to children. >>> right now democrats and republicans in congress are meeting behind closed doors separately though. ktvu alison burns reports president obama told the congressional lead evers regroup with your parties about a deal about raising the national debt limit. >> reporter:

eisenhower was a columbia university -- after the war very much interest in big business and sort of traditional east coast republican party. it is a much different tradition and one that didn't really have a kind of national architect. it wasn't so much that warned changed in years to chief justice is eisenhower misapprehended his politics at the outset. as warren's own political development, scott polk who is the best scholar, we had a dinner leon and he pointed out that warren is a rare person who got better in every job he did. that is true. warren started his public life and was concerned with one issue, law enforcement in one area, then he ran for attorney general and as attorney general didn't broaden his range of issues so much as broad a beaten put upon which he practiced and egos to become governor and forced to deal with social issues that go far beyond law-enforcement and finally the chief justice where he has a national template and infinite range of issues. as he passed through each of those stages he became a bigger, fuller -- >> the first president to have nuclear-wea

there is a study by columbia university that says search engines are changing the way our memories work, not your fault. people are less likely to remember information when they know how to easily find it. though they say the study does not prove that search engines are dumbing down society. >> so next time i ask you something, you will google it. >>> in a bad mood? there is an app for that. cnet's kara tsuboi shows us hower smart phone can improve your mood. -- how your smart phone can improve your mood. >> reporter: starting with the basic apps, mood analyzer, read your motion on the touchscreen to come up with a diagnosis or mood reading. i decided to give finger scan a try. everything seems to be going your way right now. ride that high. a more sophisticated app was developed by psychologists that analyzed your moods overtime for improvement. you can choose from over 150 different activities that target specific areas for your own personal growth. for example, give someone a compliment without any expectation of appreciation or return favor. that's nice advice. whether it really hel
