romance, fiction and science fiction. finally, to my left, keith ogorek. keith, welcome. keep the senior vice president of marketing for the indianapolis based office solutions, which penguin acquired in july 2012. asa so publishing imprints include offer has universe, trafford and asked leapers. the company has strategic alliances such as thomas nelson is zero so publishing imprints in the uk's main, australia, new zealand and singapore. a well-qualified panel to talk about this issue. i want to start with james mcquivey and the base eager to book publishers today is disrupt thyself. >> absolutely. in fact come he opened the session asking whether or not it was the the disrupt or a defender of publishing. i would contest the idea that it's either/or. disruption is the best defense for publishing and self-publishing is turning out to be a potential bone for publishers because you can sit there and watch people market themselves, share their ideas come and see things gather and then make your offer. at that point where the

it is, in fact, a fiction. mr. who testified before us said that susan rice hadn't even spoken to him. the lead diplomat on the ground after the ambassador was killed. and, you know, he clearly said that there was no demonstrations, this was a terrorist attack. they knew it was a terrorist attack. they knew who perpetrated the terrorist attack. yet the white house and the administration chose to write a narrative that was based on fiction. >> so you know the president was involved, or who in the white house? you said the white house. let's nail you down here. who told susan rice to say what she said that day? was that the president, personally, deputizing her to say it was a spontaneous demonstration that evolved into a terrorist attack of some form? what do you think did it? was it the president or one of his people? what do you know? >> what we know is susan rice -- >> no, do you know if the >> and susan rice went on national television and made statements that had no -- >> i watched it. >> -- no basis in truth.

paul, you invoke pulp fiction but this has also been the year of forrest gump. think it's very difficult to just say here, pulp fiction renders me meaningless and the traditional audience meaningless when, in fact, a film like forrest gump with extraordinarily old-fashioned, traditional... i mean, i think it may be the hollywood style in a rather quintessential way. that film does extraordinary business and has repeat viewers. and it is really very scary because it capitalizes the whole hollywood mentality which is, um... only the naive survive, you know that if you're dumb enough, everything will work out. ( laughs ) that's a reassuring thought. yeah. apparently, it was a very cheery thought to a lot of people. still is, yes. absolutely. i mean, you know and immediately you can make an argument as gump as being an ironic hero because he is a "hero." he's like a hero with quote marks around him because he doesn't do anything. so maybe gump and john travolta are not that far apart. toback: except that one is dangerous and off center and the other one isn't. that'

fact or fiction? >> that's fiction.e will help you fall asleep initially but it will disrupt your sleep all through the night. that is fiction. >> sleeping pills do the same thing. >> unfortunately. >> they help you fall to sleep but interferes with rem sleep. >> you can have grogginess in the morning. >> cold temperatures help you sleep better fact or fiction? >> that's a fact. most people don't realize it's cold temperatures 65 to no more than 70 degrees that's best for sleep. you sleep more soundly in cooler temperatures. so you want to keep the temperature low. it will make your sleep restless on either extreme. >> is it because you pile blankets on yourself and it's soothing? >> you transition on a temperature drop and your body maintains a cooler temperature. the blankets heat you up too much. >> if you can't sleep keep on resting in bed. >> that is such fiction. you want to get up out of bed. you don't want to toss and turn. if after 30 minutes you are still tossing and turning get up out of bed do something rela

>> many historians weaves fiction in. been biased.have there are anti-semitic historians and racist historians who write about the south and are not about critical of slavery, but others are very critical. criticism. objective shakespeare and many other writers use history as material. a novel called "blonde" about norma jean baker. it uses the material as if it were a myth. in maryland and wrote is this middle -- marilyn monroe is this mythical creature. i am not writing a biography. i am writing an epic about someone who stands for something, so i call my novel "blonde,"meaning it is about a myth rather than a person, but many people write about war. if you did that as a fiction writer, you would have real generals under real president mentioned. it is hard to have a completely fictitious portrayal of a complex cultural situation where there are no real people. tavis: what you said does raise a question. you are right that history is written by historians who offer their own interpretation. of thatus are left out histor

industry can mean a lot and in terms of the real world versus this fictional world. course is most voters because it only comes out during election season with voters think it's saudi shakes who and the royal families who are setting the price of oil as these articles know it spent plats since that and the other p r a's since the one nine hundred eighty s. when the saudis no longer opec no longer set the price of oil it's these guys who report voluntarily what they think the price is but of course oil is the most that we try to commodity in the world and then have all the derivatives of oil including the petro chemical business the plastics industry pharmaceuticals etc that all key into the same price so it along with live war which is the price of money itself if you've got the price of money and oil and you're fixing those two basic components of the global economy or fixing the entire global economy and the court of false concerns against trading on all these facts markets and then also price fixing a lie bore the price fixing on gold and silver which is not state

it's winning all of the prizes and that is what you associate with historical fiction. but when i see it it doesn't sound quite right because it is like as if she disappears inside this particular historical world and without giving 500 pages of description, she just by inference makes you feel as if you are living in that place with those people. it is a ghost writing the past. >> talk eni together those biographies that you are working on or worked on into a biography in a very short introduction, did you approach all of them the same way? have you developed a formula? >> the word formula is slightly heart sinking isn't it? you're going to apply a formula on top of these people and will come out that. i do think that you need to be -- if you are a literary biographer and i am a literary critic and i to the biography because i'm interested in the work and i want to find out that until the year relationship between the work and the life and if you are a literary biographer you have to think hard about the kind of work that your subject does. so with virginia woolf, who

dagen: fictional values on fictional properties. connell: why not.: adam shapiro is across the hudson river in weehawken, new jersey. >> good afternoon. there is a building boom going on with condominiums. several condominium developments now up and running. people are buying these. five years from now, they will have another 800. to give you an idea of what is happening with the prices, not just in new jersey, but around the country, some of the best markets are reno, nevada, santa barbara, california, south carolina, condo prices up 39%, rhode island, 28%, of course, nevada, condo prices up 24%. prices are really skyrocketing in jacksonville. if it is a condo you want and you want to be near manhattan, weehawken. i am in the center of it all. back to you. dagen: anybody from new jersey will tell you that new jersey is the center of the universe. it is a big choice. would you want to live in a condominium? that increasingly is no way that some luxury buyers are going. why? >> los angeles has always been a home market. we are just starting to see a s

company is hoping to hit the market soon with a medical device that may fulfill the prom of science fiction. it's an all-in-one scanner for your health. carolyn johnson has the details. >> this is the scan. >> this small hand-held device isn't exactly like having a doctor in your pocket but biomedical engineer believes it's getting there. hold it to your forehead and the scanner reads and records critical data about your health displayed at wave forms on a smartphone. >> the top one is eeg signal which is the electrical impulse of your heart. every time the heart beats there's a pulse. >> it shoots pulls of light into the skin and filters the wavelengths coming back to extract a lot of readings. all determined bial go rhythms in the software. it's the brainchild of walter, who founded the sunnyvale company three years ago.

what is fact and what is fiction is dr.ark seigel from the medical a team. >> this is nis we can all use. one of the people you hear is the best way to lose weight is doing cardio? is that true? >> that's fiction. high intensity interval training. you need bursts of heavy workouts resting and then maybe some cardio. you have to mix it up. that's your best way to lose weight. >> kind of like plyometrics. >> exactly. you want to mix-up the isometrics with the running with the elliptical. change it up make sure there's a high intensity part of it. >> what about incorporating weights into it. a lot of people think weight training is good for your joints. >> that is a fact. the weight training actually exercises your muscles exercises the tendons and nerves so you don't end up with as many injuries. it's running that is high impact. if you are out there running you are much more likely to wear down the knees. there was a study that shows the knees of weight lifters are in bert shape than runners. >> another thing with weight tra

we are separate can fact from fiction. dr.the fox the e using how are the ratings misleading? >> they can be very ak at no time. spf 30 is what you need. you don't need 50 or 60 if you get 30 it is good enough. you go into the water you come out you have got to reapply. >> let's talk about fact or fiction. your eyes can get sunburn. is this fact or fiction? >> this is an enormous fact. they can get sun purn they can get damaged and irritated it leads to mccoo layacular degene. you have to get sunglasses that protect against uva and uvp and wear that big brimmed hat out there. >> how do you know. i just got sunglasses it said there were no instructions about spf. >> if it didn't say it get rid of them. >> you should ask when you go into the store f. you go into a store where there's an optician they can tell you. >> a lot of people say you need to get a base tan to stop from burning. >> that is fiction. we talk a lot about how tanning salons increase risk of skin cancer dramatically. they breakdown skin you get wrijs and aging.

>> another science fiction example for me surprisingly. i love this company called subterranean press. what they do is make these beautiful books and are extremely limited quantities and they sell them only on their website and this kind of amazing way to preserve the integrity of the hardcover books then a little later they also release the e-book switch or a little cheaper and abroad distributions in the normal channels and i think that is kind of an amazing way to solve that problem if you can't get distributions for, you know, high end titles or cooking titles into the stores which are sort of disappearing or shrinking i guess. >> well, that's something james patterson seems to be concerned about. how many of you are familiar with the had to get out in "the new york times" a while back? i am interested to know when it james patterson took out the headline that said who will will save our books, our libraries, he said that the publishing industry is in need of a bailout, like the financial industry was in need of a bailout. whether it w

fact or fiction? >> i think that's fiction. one of the criteria for a bubble, you need to see overvaluation, that is not the case. prices are still modestly undervalued relative to income or rent. you need to see excess leverage. we are not in that environment. good share purchases are still on cash. the credit conditions are still quite, quite tight. >> number three here, something we have heard from a lot of the home builders in their earnings call, construction costs are rising, raw material, building costs are rising, that is going to prevent, this notion is that this will prevent home building from actually increasing and going forward, they will have to pass those costs on. >> so? an obstacle for home building and i think one of the reasons there is some ceiling to how much further gain we can see in terms of total construction. but it's not something that will derail it. so we can still see an increase in housing construction, given the fundamentals are supporting it inventory is low. demand is pick up, home prices are h

mark seigel is here to separate fact from fiction.e had 8 skin cancers including melanoma including this little scar on my face which doesn't always cover with makeup. people say you look better with a tan, but ask yourself when you look like with a whole in your face. >> they got it early. >> they got it early because i went early. melanoma doesn't follow the abc rule. >> abcd is same tree, the border, color diameter. if it's irregular and has many different colors and one side is different than the large, larger than 6 millimeters. e means it is evolving that it's changing. but the problem is, it cannot have any of those things. the problem is it can look very, very regular. if you have a sudden new growth on your skin that is irregular. it can fall outside of the abc rule. >> if you have a dark complex you are safe. >> most melanomas go to the light skin light hair blue eyes. there's something called an impigenous under your fingernails. if you are darker skinned it may be harder to find. >> another one, you only get melanoma where

course they care a lot about how much they're paying to fill up their fuel tank well it's set in the fictional world where those who operate in with fictitious capital set the prices shell and b.p. unmoved by price fixing probe shell and b.p. shares were trading flat as markets weighed up the implications of an investigation by european regulators into whether the companies may have manipulated the price of oil for more than a decade oh i know there are no more of these price fixing scandals in the oil market yes well we've talked about this before it's a benchmark rate so.

course they care a lot about how much they're paying to fill up their fuel tank well it's set in the fictionalworld where those who operate in with fictitious capital set the prices shall impede.

certain events in this film are fictional.ers took to twitter after discovering the show was fictional. animal planet, you are dead to me. you got me on your little mermaid hoax. what was the freaking point? one said. fascination with merpeople is not new. a wave of films like "splash" and "the little mermaid" has opened people's imagination to the possibility of life under the sea. ♪ under the sea >> that's apparently what the filmmaker, charlie foley, wanted. he told cnn that the show is based on real scientific and evolution theory and real life phenomena, rooting our story with facts encouraged a sense of intellectual possibility. john berman, cnn, new york. >> looks pretty real. >>> some felons in virginia may soon be eligible to vote. we're talking about at least 100,000 people. up next, we're going to talk to the republican who is behind this, governor bob mcdonald, up next. man: how did i get here? dumb luck? or good decisions? ones i've made. ones we've all made. about marriage. children. money. about tomorrow. here's

now, the template for the fictional three rivers is my nonfictional hometown, norwich connecticut.you know, when you mentioned that you've come from that stage are likely to conjure in peoples mind images of leafy bedroom towns, residents commute to manhattan and unwind at the country club and send the kids to prep school. but i come from the other connecticut, east of the connecticut river connecticut. we are more feisty than fashionable. we are more liverwurst than pat day. boston and providence have a greater poll as the new york so drop our eyes can root for the red sox and use the word widget as an advert a as in this exhibitor we had a nor'easter last winter and it snowed wicked hard and it was wicked heavy to shuffle. [laughter] inviting we are water our time travels back to my own childhood, focusing on to dramatic events that are membered vividly. the first was the death of a black man that was ruled accidental but that might really have been murdered. the second was a terrible flood that cut a path of destruction through the city and took five people's lives. i was eight

i write southern fiction. it mostly takes place in florida.ow here this thing is all about semantics. if you call it red neck day, that offends. if you call it appalachian america appreciation you can go willy nilly with your barrels and suspenders over there as all southern americans wear, and no one will have a problem with it aside from certain african-american types. and this for all intensive purposes is a swee tea. >> not shine? >> this a miranda and jedediah is an over sized fan. i used to be a colonel. i am not done. thou shall rise again over aggression and whatnot. >> are you done. >> no, you are done. >> jedediah, the director of the the -- the director of the center's teaching tolerance program says she predicted that people who said they were offended by this were told they were being too sensitive. are they being too sensitive? >> i think it is uh fen tiff. offensive. i am not terribly offensive. she also wanted a do no harm philosophy at school. that cannot kiss. no matter what you -- that cannot exist. no matter what you do you

it's a fiction. in that book and in the movie, the idea is a he was inspired by his maid to paint this picture and she's actually the model who possess for the girl with the pearl earrings. people would say, i'm here to see the portrait where do i find it. they said we don't have it. what are they talking about and they took this literally and this was the maid. not true. it's one of those romantic stories, but just make the mystery more interesting but not a specific portrait of a person. there is a question on the aisle here? the question about whether the girl with the pearl earring was commissioned and the answer is we don't know. it did come out of rembrandt studio and another layer to the mystery in the story is we didn't know where she was for about 200 years. she resurfaces at an auction where the historian realizes this was a pretty good picture and decided they wouldn't bid against each other. it sold for 2 guilders and which is basically a dollar. the painting was yellow with age but still

this is not fiction.>> neil: you talked to more doctors than i do, but i talk to a good many doctors and they don't like being doctors as much. one in particular, a good friend of mine, urged his son to get out of profession. he was training to be a neurosurgeon to think long and hard about it. the environment might not be as conducive or promising. his son got out. i am wondering what you make that and mood among doctors who are not a great mood. >> when i tell my colleagues i am rergh, it doesn't have anything to do with obamacare, everybody is so envious, how can you be retiring and getting out of this mess? to some degree i have to tell the doctors that we're responsible because we haven't been more vocal and allowed people to push us around. we're the people who should be the advocates important patient care. if we sit around and let a bunch of bureaucrats how we should practice medicine, to some degree we bear some of the responsibility. it's not too late for us to begin to exert more influence beca

poetry coming on adults, fiction and nonfiction. everything has to be educational in nature. it has to fit the larger mission of the university press. we wanted to give all of her authors and illustrators an opportunity to publish through a well-known and well-respected publisher compressibility say these aren't being told. we don't know of any other university press that are doing children and adult materials and if you have publisher of adult materials without any opportunity to do this and set a precedent for great publishing for children and young adults. were excited to first on his contract for the art and it is a historical fiction novel about the life of robert smalls, one of my favorite civil war figures from beaufort county, south carolina. he really helped shape effort into what it is today. so i love that is our first piece. anyone who's interested in submitting an idea was to it if of manuscript for a picture back with an illustration plan. what will happen is all submissions me and our serious editorial board and how to rethink this to be an important part of ou

. >> jon: so it's a fiction. clearly, corporations don't. and the film is about a corporate spry who infiltrates the group to figure out their plan. >> jon: is this a true story. >> it's not based on a specific true story but of course everything in the film is real things that are happening and very, very relevant right now. on the one hand you probably have a lot of sympathy for people fighting to preserve the jiermt and those kinds of things. but on the other hand, how do you justice some of their actions which are pretty damaging and people get hurt. >> of course. this is why i think the film is interesting. i believe these people have incredible validity with theiranger and mission and what they're angry at. but of course i don't believe in hurting people. >> jon: it's a very thin line between sort of when you get up to that and what is raichous activism what is dangerous. >> of course. and i think-- sarah's struggle as she starts getting a window to a different perspective. and trial to deal with the difficulties that that presents i a

that's how i got involved in science fiction. see the next three where the level of special effects have gotten so great. >> right. jon: but they're prequels to the other ones which like old timey talkees. and i can't explain that to an eight-year-old. >> right. jon: this doesn't suffer from that. >> not yet. jon: are you going to keep going. ( cheers and applause ). >> i don't know. jon: they don't tell you? you have to sign... don't they make you sign like you're involved now for 12 of these? >> no. i mean i had a long contract with them. now we're going to renegotiate. >> jon: really? you are iron man. you are! in this one it's the mandarin. >> yes. jon: the mandarin is a classic. the fact that they're bringing back the mandarin, this is from a billing from when i was a kid in the '60s and all those old cartoons. is the thought process to reintroduce some of those classic villains now? >> i guess so. i mean kevin, who is the president of marvel, is really the guy who had the vision. he's a big fan of the show by the way. i'm g
