dr. stern's and dr. mckee's stern's and dr. mckee's challenge, the n.i.h. should certainly be doing major research in this. they have enormous capacity to do this research. certainties for disease control. i just come from the n.i.h. a couple weeks ago. they have enormous compass to the do this research. that's one component that i think. i know that my colleagues are probably looking at. and then the question of where does the responsibility lie at the top? you mentioned young people, but i'll get to the nfl and come back to the question early age playing. mr. carson, if i can, as you were playing, this happened after the fact, is this on any agenda for the nfl owners meeting? when it was at its peak, was and i ame nfl effort, looking at a concussion policy, but going beyond that rather this is out of sight and out of mind and let them go into the courts, is there any understanding that the core survival of this league, it may look like there is a never-ending source of young men who want to play from all walks of life, all backgrounds, is there any crisis

dr. stern. thank you for being here. dr. stern: good morning, ranking member pallone, ranking member conyers and distinguished members of the committees. it is indeed a great honor to participate in this forum today. since 2008, my research has focused on the long-term consequences of repetitive brain trauma in athletes, including this neurodegenerative disease, c.t.e. as you heard from dr. mckee, at this time c.t.e. can only be diagnosed after death through postmortem examination. several important questions about c.t.e. remain unanswered. such as, how common is it? why does one person get it and another person does not? and how can we differentiate c.t.e. from other similar diseases and conditions with similar symptoms? to answer all these and other really important questions, the ability to diagnosis c.t.e. during life is the critical next step. our group at boston university and other scientists from around the country are actively conducting research to develop methods to accurately diagno

dr. transact -- trachtenberg. >> it's not clear to me as mr. stern said that a definition is required in this way. i teach entire courses on anti-semitism, and they go on for 15 weeks. we talk about this shifting definition of antisemitism. in the past it was based on religious assumptions about jews as christ killers. and in the middle ages jews were accused of seeking to recrucify christ through different methods. it led to antisemitic characters of jews. questions about jews sexuality. whether jews were even human beings or not. in the modern period, we saw it as racial distinction of jews. our jews fundamentally and biological different. the notions of race. there are questions as capitalist schemers and revolutionary subversive. this is what we teach to our students. settling on one definition that's going to apply so all circumstances is too broad and too vague. and shouldn't be the basis of legislation. >> i mean i don't want to get into a debate with you. >> sure. >> one of the things you've said previously is this is a broad definition. if y

dr. malkin's defense team, john hogan and sam stern for their invaluable roles.nk the jury, 12 new jersey and who saw through the government's false claims and used their jersey common sense to reject it. neil: you are looking on the floor of the houses are listening to senator as he dodged a legal bullet here and dealing with deadlocks here, but the tax cut was approved in as expected get some applause in the house before the house and the senate continues to debate what is a very different passage they also have a lot of provisions there. 14 votes from republicans, all democrats voting against doesn't mean quite everybody out. across the 218 threshold that would've been required for a simple majority in the house moves on to the senate where they are a long way from done and they do approve it in the senate. so far no vote out of ron johnson, republican of wisconsin. they could have others or they can afford to lose more than two. that would have to be reconciled, assuming the senate approves them with very big differences. could the implementation of the tax c

street the commanders of leahy the stern gang had come together to seal the fate of falcon bernadotte. nothing really more voted against the assassination of beneteau. dr yes i have. voted for the s.s. in the nation anything like show me cost he's voted in favor of the assassination of the un envoy. so it was two against one that's how the decision was made. on the seventeenth of september one thousand nine hundred forty eight at ten o'clock in the morning. count full cabinet officers landed at kalandia rathole just north of jerusalem. shortly after his three car convoy arrived at the mandelbaum dates. the crossing points into the west and jewish part of jerusalem. waiting at the gates was a liaison officer assigned to him by the israeli government. captain moshe. was there for the count notice that mr hellman was armed with a pistol so he turned to him and said no no no no you have to get rid of that pistol give it to the other officers here you're under the protection of the un and when you're protected by the un there are no weapons. with no military escort no protection other than the u.n. flag. burning docks convoy and to the jewish jerusalem. aft

stern. >> thank you. five quick points. one is i agree with mr. trachtenberg that -- dr. trachtenberg you should listen closely to the people teaching on the campus, especially on these issues, they're the ones i think have the closest feel of the pulse. secondly, this type of legislation, i think, will be a black hole. it will suck away all the other things that we really want campuses to do to deal with their environment, deal with their teaching. this will be the preferred answer and focus rather than all those other things. third, i think jewish students are suffering in many places around the israel-palestine conflict because there is a great binary. legislation like this rather than breaking down that binary will add to the detriment of jewish students. i disagree with something in rabbi cooper's written statement on vulnerable jewish students. i taught in college and i don't feel the jewish students i have come into contact with feel vulnerable and want to be protected. they want their thinking shaken up and having the full capacity to look hat these issues from ev
