paul lives on long island and commutes daily to manhattan, where he works at columbia university. paul learned he had usher syndrome while attending college when he was 19 years old. at this point in his life, he has only a pinhole of vision left and uses a cane to assist him with travel. with usher syndrome, your vision is always changing, especially as you get older. some of these changes will have a significant impact on your life. i call these changes hits. for example, in your teen years, you start to experience night blindness where you lose the ability to travel independently or safely at nighttime. narrator: lauren is 13 and, like others with usher syndrome, is experiencing early night blindness. often, this is exhibited by a child tripping or bumping into things or, in general, being viewed as clumsy. i did notice that what i thought was her balance wasn't where it should be and that she seemed to be having some trouble seeing peripherally, but what was happening again now is, the ophthalmologists, too, were not seeing what i was seeing and basically were just telling me,

in barnard's case, the other school is right across the street -- columbia university. >> there are columbiamen were not allowed to attend columbia. they weren't allowed to vote, either. nowadays, most schools are co-ed, meaning they accept both male and female students. but even though many doors have been opened to women, barnard is here to open more. >> well, i think that barnard has just a very long history of providing leadership opportunities for women and really pushing women out there in the working worlds. and that's true, i think, from a number of the women's colleges. >> and here's the proof -- only 2% of all college grads come from women's colleges, but listen to this. 20% of the women in congress came from single-sex colleges. graduates from women's colleges are twice as likely to earn phds, and they are more likely to go to medical school. of the 50 top-ranking women in business, an amazing 30% came from -- you guessed it -- women's schools. dean fondiller told me that at a college like barnard, women get used to being leaders, and that carries them forward into science, govern

i want to bring in a real estate professor at columbia university's school of business.e's in new york for us. welcome to the program. you've heard about what's happening in florida, around the rest of the country. how does florida compare with what's happening around the rest of the country and the frustration with the banks? is it misplaced frustration? is it because it's a whole new system? the whole skiecuritization problem, will we ever get out of this if we don't fix the foreclosure thing? >> i think clearly securitization is the real problem. if you look at the data on the practices of privately securityized mortgages relative to loans opened by banks, the same banks that will service a portfolio and be more likely to close on behalf of the third party investor are more likely to modify or do a principal reduction when they themselves own the mortgage. so, you know, they're exactly right that that is part of the problem is the incentives built into securitization. but i wouldn't push that too far, right? you've got -- in florida with home prices down 50% and close

that's a great question and i think we see these things with columbia university and pretty much anytime an urban campus is built because in order to create that space, they're essentially knocking down a lot of public housing and homes of people that have been in the community for a long time. because otherwise you can't really create these sprawling grounds of buildings and residence halls. this is kind of something that's remarkable that i'm sorry i didn't have a chance to talk about in my short presentation. the students were really being mentored by the community activists in newark at the time and these were the same activists that were boycotting umdnj at the time they had a proposal for 25,000 acres and -- for 125 acres, and were talking about the bull dozing of people's homes through urban renewal. these are the same activists boycotting highway construction. and what we know about highway construction in urban space is that it would typically be created through the downtown heart of the city. and these students were being mentored by a lot of the black panthers community, organ
