according to the study, and another from cornell university, wells are leaking gas and other chemicals into the air of a rate of about three times what the industry can use. the government suggests that hundreds of thousands of jobs will be created helping to offset the 24% unemployment. small-scale farmers believe that this is shortsighted. >> it is thinking like this that scientists have been trying to instill in government and public health positions with oversight over the drilling activities. what is in the nature? nobody knows for sure and most companies and not telling. this group has worked with the u.s. national science foundation and the massachusetts institute of technology to uncover a list of 246 products used by the natural gas industry. >> one of our staff set out to systematically set up a database in order to look at the long list of chemicals that we have at hand. those products that have health 1%-6% effect.ave 43% of the product on our list contained in the quinn disrupt the chemicals that could interfere with the development of individuals before they are born and

to the answer, we're going to talk to steve strogatz, a professor of applied mathematics at cornell universitysteve, how do we use math to get from heart cells to pendulums? >> they're both oscillators. they both move in cycles. you know, there's an electrical cycle in the heart cell where its voltage goes up and back down, and up and back down. so that's a rhythm, that's a cycle. and, of course, a pendulum is a cycle... >> right, back and forth. >> in that it swings back and forth, so they're really not that different. i mean, it happens one is an inanimate thing, one is living; that doesn't really matter to a mathematician at the abstract level. >> what we love in math is that there's a unity, that you can see the connection between pendulums and heart cells if you maybe have the same equation that can describe both, but just with different interpretations of what that -- >> just one abstract framework, and then you fill in the phenomenon for the variables. >> right. that's what we like to do. and in the case of pendulums, which we understand much better than heart cells, it gives us a way i

>> shepard: researchers at cornell university, go big red, created a robot that can tell when you wantand then pour said beer for you as demonstrated in this handy video. the robot can do all sorts of tasks while anticipating your movements. finally. the editor in chief of mashable.com. robots can think. >> they can think about what you're going to do. that robot has a connective device like the xbox 360 so it sees the room and everything in it and has the intelligence to understand what your actions might be. why is anticipation important in it means it won't do something you don't want. the guy has the cup and robot doesn't have it turned on and pours the beer on to the table. when it can see the room and anticipate the buy picked up the cup, that means eprobably going to pick it up. it doesn't pour until you -- >> you stupid robot! good lord. i have employees like that. >> it's a combination, a robot built by willow garage used for a bunch of stuff but researchers basically built the programming that can be within a second it's about -- i was going to say 82% accurate, three seconds

i'm a physician and orthopedic surgeon, professor of orthopedics at cornell university medical schoolrk, and the chief of orthopedics at sloan-kettering cancer center in new york city. >> dr. heeley was the expert that basically said what michael mastro mastromarino did and the type of tissues that he took put the transplant recipients in harm's way. >> bone that is osteoporotic who has had cancer or other disease is not as strong. it's not going to stand up long enough. it doesn't heal as well and so that is a serious problem. the hiv testing, for example, was not conducted in the standard way. these donors could have been infected and the processing not been sufficient to cleanse that bone and make it safe for transplantation. several of them actually had cancer. >> cancer -- to cancer, again, let's go back to cancer. we spoke about this earlier. unless it was lymphoma, leukemia, breast cancer doesn't affect the bone. brain cancer doesn't affect the bone. lung cancer, not unless it is metastatic cancer, there is no infection in the bone. >> however, the cancer will have eroded that

, he was welcomed and ended up being with achieve of the industrial relations department at cornell university. he tells the story in a family book that we have. that the jews in new that fdr was not their friend. that the jews that were in america knew that fdr knew about the concentration camps, new about the fact that these individuals fleeing for their lives and it took the bravery of them to allow this family member to seek asylum. cell i think there is a lot of misinformation about fdr in the jewish community. >> what do you think is the misinformation? >> the misinformation is that jews in america thought fdr was the hero because he entered the war. but he was no hero to the jewish people. in my opinion, because of what he didn't do. he allowed the arabic state department to set forth doctrine of the united states while he was president. >> why do you think that? he would travel to the suez canal to try to persuade saudi arabia to help the jews. >> he didn't want them in america. they were fine elsewhere. go to israel, go to palestine but not here in america. they were not welcome than

i'm up at cornell university, my alma mater visiting with my cousin matt. i notice molly's bag.ere did you get this fabulous bag. and she told me your story because you were also there and your husband is a grad student at cornell as well. long story short, i loved your story and decided we had to get you on. i want to hear more about it. how did you come up with this idea? >> well, cameron and i were in the same position as so many other military spouses find themselves in. that's the inability to find employment every time we move with the military. and military spouses move on average every two and a half years. that's ten time more frequent than our civilian counterparts. so we find that our military spouse friends are giving up on their career goal and aspirations and we didn't want to accept that circumstance. we wanted to take something that's hard in this military lifestyle and make it a positive. we started out small. we started out in her attic. and just grew from there. >> it is amazing. this is a small business story. a veterans story. also a family story. because we

[laughter] >> you were asking about how to understand the martian geological composition. you already checked things that you were talking about. now, companies, oil and gas companies that use similar processes to detect, you know, chemical so much decision for example, like shale and stuff. so my question is, do you guys see any advantage in the future of using one gas company such as schlumberger to perform drilling operations on mars? because they have years and years of experience in this. >> michael, do you want to? >> okay. i think if i understood question, are there uses on mars for future drilling projects? yeah. i sincerely think there'll be sob some sort of -- some sort of grown-penetrating radar if we help to do any trilling the subsurface. trying to do it in the blind is, you're apt to just pick the wrong place and have it not be particularly successful. >>

researchers at cornell university took 68 participants, half went shopping on an empty stomach.e hungry bought higher calorie foods. >> we're more likely to reach foods that are convenient, not just at that point in time but continue to reach for them throughout the week because that's what we're bringing into the house. >> reporter: in our not so scientific study i went snack-free for four hours and as this busy mom of two young boys to do the same. how are you feeling? >> i am feeling so hungry my brain is like freezing. >> reporter: what she didn't know like the real study i munched on wheat thins to see if that would help me make healthier choices but what will she do. >> i'll rip the bags open and start eating when i put them in the shopping cart. 20 minutes later. what do you think about some of your food choices when you in your cart? >> i'm hungry. >> you're like give me those cheetos. >> reporter: she not only chose higher calorie foods but a lot of it. >> here's my cart. a little healthier but i wasn't as hungry i got the chicken and veggies. time to confess my preshop

i graduated from the high school in brooklyn, cornell university, and several of my colleagues workingt they reminded me that during two of the summer's i had the amazing experience of working on the original twin towers. a monument to american labor and ingenuity that will not be forgotten. i received my degree from the state university of new york at buffalo and was in buffalo that great working-class city where i fell in love with my wife and with labor law in that order. as a law student, i was assigned to the regional losses through the schools work study program. this exposure was transforming. i saw that through the enforcement of the act, significant issues affecting workers, employers and unions were being addressed and industrial peace was being obtained. i knew immediately that this was what i wanted to do and this became the focus of my studies and subsequent employment. i worked 15 wonderful years in buffalo at the regional offices of the field attorney and district trial specialists and forcing the nation's primary thd states. i even charlie left to go into private practi

kennedy, a cornell university student named kurt vonnegut and a precocious student named gore vidal who founded a chapter of america first. their opposition isn't all that surprising if you think about it. they didn't know they were going to be the greatest generation in a few years. they didn't think of this as a good war back then. they knew that if we got into the war they were going to be among the first to fight ends millions of them revolted against the very thought of american participation in another bloody european conflict. remember it was only 20 years since world war i had ended. that was supposed to be the war to make the world save for democracy, that was what woodrow wilson told the american people. actually made the world save for adolf hitler. the european allies didn't cooperate. stood aside while hit a came to power. no way do we want to get involved in another one of these things. so the opposition of the college students in 1939-1941 to me was very much like the 1960s and vietnam. there is not that much difference. shortly after america first was organized it did mo
