instead they are going directly online using a crowdsourcing website, go fund me. you may have heard about it. we spoke to a lot of neighbors who say these cameras have been effective solving muggings and murders but $80,000 price tag is a lot to ask for in a recovering economy. inside the surveillance control room at reading police headquarters -- >> we have about 46 cameras in the city, hand tilt, zoom. >> reporter: live images are baemd back to detectives. these cameras caught drug dealers and murder suspects even as budget cuss here have left fewer officers on street. >> cameras have become an integral part of the investigation. it's one of the first things we do. >> reporter: the police chief wants more eyes watching many more intersections. some of the cameras are getting old and blurry. a new wireless high-definition system will cost $80,000 but reading can't afford it. >> expanding the camera system, we're making improvements to the camera system. simply something we don't have in our city budget. >> reporter: so like many cash-strapped families they start

this is really a crowdsourcing effort here by the banking industry itself to share all that intel, respondd come up with solutions. they tell me they also get a lot of input here from the u.s. government as well which will tip the banking industry when they see things that might be a problem coming down the pike. >> okay, thank you very much, eamon javers. >>> another look at the markets. clearly the dow up by nearly 300 points. at the height of the day, up by 309. if you do the math over today and yesterday, steve, that's nearly 600 points. early christmas gift from janet yellen. we'll be back to talk more markets and oil. stay with us.

as well as on these health exchanges what if we could get researchers together and almost to a crowdsourcing, valuable research cases or findings, things that we all find interesting that we don't necessarily have one entity taking lead responsibility for but the could work with nonprofits, research organizations as well as consumers on what they find interesting and try to put that together in a way a way that is not contingent on what the government would do. finally doris talked about the conversation. it was not that long ago. some of the work of colleagues who highlighted these problems unless we'd be remiss to think that we solved all of them. how can we be pointing to her places to improve and think about concentrating effort from transparency and data to show people not just what is bad but what we can do to improve the infrastructure of healthcare in our country. i did want to.out the conversation won't end today we will be extending this. thank you for your time and attention and have a great a great rest of your afternoon. take care.

and what if we could actually get researchers together and do almost kind of a crowdsourcing of valuable research cases or findings, things we all find interesting that we don't necessarily have one entity taking lead responsibility for but that we could work with nonprofits, research organizations, as well as consumers on what they find interesting and try to put that together in a way that's not contingent on what the government would do. and then finally i think doris kind of talked about a conversation that's been missing around safety and errors. it wasn't that long ago we had crossing the quality chasm and other colleagues who highlighted these problems unless we be remiss to think we've solved all of them, how can we be pointing towards places to improve and think about concentrating efforts from transparency in data to show people not just what's bad but what we can do to improve the health care in our country. i did want to point the conversation won't end today. we are going to be doing future publications as well as hopefully extending this in other ways. so thank you for your

it's uploading your speed and distance as the vehicle moves to the system and thereby creating crowdsourced the very accurate return data. there's another kind of bottom-up solution to these problems which is if you get enough people on a volunteer basis who are willing to contribute into these systems, then i went to have real-time data about traffic jams all around my neighbor. maybe it's not too the granularity of there's hey, slow down read this quarter. but driving to d.c. all the time from the dulles area and i know for sure whether there's quarter mile ahead whether it's going to be the bottleneck between i 66 and the 267. it's right there. i feel very confident when i see all the little red lights and the slow crawling icons on my screen there something going on. i guess that's not a good example since it's always there. anyway. it may be that the creativity of people working in open markets and the fact consumers can benefit from lots of these technologies will enable a scenario that don't require a type of heavyweight approach. >> i want to tack on because there's one distinction

school students but pretty soon that 40 became 700 and 40000 and 70,000 and these people now by crowdsourcingions are able to be double doctorates in predicting how proteins are going to fold so imagine that that kind of power can help us invent new drugs and and issues and diseases faster than probably companies like gin and tech -- genentec will be able to do. that is about learning to curate questions so you learn from the question. >> it is the essence of education and i think everyone of our speakers talked about this that there is something very powerful about the act of giving in that we receive so much more when we are able to just open up our hearts and give and what you're doing and solutions are coming that would be 50 years in the making it's amazing because when we start thinking about how we can open up learning and provide democratization of content and resources and when i think about the greatest resources that are out there those are us. everybody in this room and when i think about the senior citizens who helped me come back, i imagine the power of people who are not being
