during a white house rose garden event, the president announced he has selected dartmouth college president jim yonq-kim. the korean-born kim is a physician by training. the actual selection of a new president will be made by the world bank's executive board but kim is expected to be selected in part because the u.s. has the largest percent of votes. >>> we have new video of a memphis television news crew threatened while ting their job. >> everybody's lying about my best friend. >> now, you can't touch the camera now >> the suspect brandon odom got angry at the reporter's question. he went to his truck and grabbed a gun. the memphis news team drove to arkansas for the arrest of a man. the reporters showed an officer footable rage. odom later turned himself in. >>> organizers of the national day of unplugging say it's about seeing what you have been missing in the real world. the campaign has some suggestions to fill the time normally spent glued to a screen. among them, nurture your health, get outside and find silence. >> at 5:00, the irs is sounding the alarm about identity theft. what y

the president of dartmouth college. streets interesting president standing 20 feet away from me, did i what white house reporters often do. that is shout questions on a completely different topic, the news of the day at the president. he answered that. this come after jay carney, his press secretary during the course of the week said the white house wouldn't wade into it because it was a local investigation. the justice department is involved, it is not a local investigation. it is a civil rights investigation. the president clearly turned around. this is something he wanted to talk about. here's what he had to say. >> this is a tragedy. i can only imagine what these parents are going through. i think all of us have to do some soul searching to figure out, how does something like this happen. that means that we examine the laws and the context for what happened, as well as the specifics of the incident. if i had a son, he would like like trayvon. >> i think we're all glad that you got that question. it was good to hear

the roots of this are are pretty old in the us round early part of the nineteenth century the dartmouth college decision you know eighteen fifteen yeah right right would so that was it on john marshall decision essentially said that once a charter is given it can't be taken back that started the wheels turning you're right about the charter mongering era but you know before that the fourteenth amendment was passed in order to guarantee protection under the law to people right to african-americans who just been free and. in the first fifty years of the fourteenth amendment the vast majority of cases brought before the supreme court for it were from companies seeking the rights of people and over the course of one hundred years in suing at least five of the ten rights in the bill of rights have been ascribed to companies and because companies are different right because they're immortal because they reach a size bigger than other people it's not that they're artificial people in the rights of people it's that they're artificial people that now have greater rights than people and when you take som

president obama nominated him to be the head of the world bank and he's also the president of dartmouth college mike jones wrote in to say that hillary clinton wants a job so do you think that she would be a better choice to want to keep or delete it out. she's like a famous girl like oh people know her so i feel for him but. i can't say i agree with everything about her but i mean i don't know who's on the kid and so i can't really compare i love hillary but i don't know about the world bank position gary told us that no matter who is nominated the world bank is a corrupt organization that takes advantage of coronations do you think we should keep or delete. i have no idea. why should we keep it or delete it. the world as you can see it's fully integrated so people are always saying something in public but when it comes to and this shit different things happen john base wrote in to tell us it's time for america to let someone else run the world bank maybe someone from edge of galloping country do you want. to lead now i would i would believe that because i believe it does need to stay with us

we're here with greg leibon, research mathematician at dartmouth college, and, greg, can i see four dimensions without hurting myself? >> you're going to have to go through a little bit of pain to see into higher dimensions, but the pain comes in the form of analogies and metaphors. so we would probably start understanding four dimensions by thinking a little about what we know in lower dimensions. for example, we could start with a cube. >> okay, great, great. we've got our cube. >> we've got our cube here. and there's a few things worth observing first. that looks like a three-dimensional cube to us, but of course this is on a two-dimensional screen. this is some sort of projection. >> that's true, that's true. it's a total cheat. >> but our brains are, fortunately in this case, very hardwired to interpret this as a three-dimensional object. four dimensions is much trickier because, for example, here is a picture of a four-dimensional cube that we'll just look at for a second just to get a sense. it looks very cluttered. it's the same sort of projection where now we've gone from a cube in fo

the white house confirming the resident of dartmouth college, been there since 2009, also a physiciant, has done some work at the world health organization, specifically dealing with hiv aids. i think what is interesting about the nomination is that it was not a name that was on the public radar, the names that had been tossed around, susan rice, senator john kerry, one of the president's former advisors, lawrence summers, hillary clinton's name had been on the list, at least people were talking about even though the state department had knocked that down. so it will be interesting to listen to what the president has to say about this nomination and what he believes makes him the perfect fit for the job. >> to clarify what the world bank is, a financial institution makes loans to countries and its goal is to combat poverty. i had heard earlier that there was some thought that this post would not be going to an american citizen. >> that's right, i think the reason for that, at least those watching this closely have been speculating there was more competition this time because the admin
