well, the back story is that johns hopkins had built a hospital and was going to build medical school with graduate education and they built the hospital but they ran out of money for the medical school. and so a young woman whose name was mary elizabeth gear rhett, who was the daughter of the owner of the baltimore and ohio railroad, had a group of women, all of whom had their fathers on the board at johns hopkins university, and so they would meet regularly in a group they called the friday. not the friday club, the friday. and they referred to themselves in their memos and stuff as girls. the girls desaied to take on this project. mary elizabeth garrett had been her father's sort of right hand person. she'd traveled with him, watched him make, as donald trump would say, the art of the deal. and so she was very aware that this was the time that they should tell johns hopkins that they would raise the money that was needed for this medical school, if the medical school would admit women on the same equal basis as men. well, it took the men on the board a little aback and took them a

but this week everything is focused on the johns hopkins jo jobs nchlts. >> stock has been surging uprged 22%, as you dramatically said. it's still not so expensive. of all the quarters, this is the lightest quarter of the year for most of the retailers. but i think it's actually attractive here. >> all right. and finally, tesla, which is down as much as 10% today. here is what our traders said about the stock on friday. >> just because elon musk has been out in front of the story the way he has, don't forget this is a guy who just pushed $100 million of his own money into this stock at $91. >> he is also changing the way society looks at electric vehicles. they weren't cool before. now people want to be in the electric vehicles. he is changing the whole perception. perception is 80%. >> i don't think this is a short yet. it might go lower, but i think you're flipping a coin right now at best. >> guy, what do you say? >> yeah. and it did go lower. but i still think you're flipping a point. to dan's point, it basically held todayish. the secondary priced at last week or whenever it was

and former state department senior advisor vali nasr, now dean at the johns hopkins school of advanced international studies. welcome to both of you. dr. brzezinksi, many questions about how much, the timing, et cetera. what's your initial reaction to this announcement that the u.s. will be providing some arms? >> it's kind of baffling because there's no pattern of consistency. you know, we started helping the rebels-- whatever they are, and they're certainly not fighting for democracy given their sponsorship, qatar and saudi arabia-- as far back as early spring of last year, 2012. without saying it publicly. i assume there was a presidential finding approving it, but we were doing that. since then i'm not at all clear as to what our policy actually is. >> brown: so it wasn't clarified by yesterday's announcement? >> i think that was even more baffling because it refers to a very small number of casualties allegedly inflicted by chemical warfare. it doesn't refer specifically to the date involved, although the president drew a red line, it certainly is materiel to foe whether those act

marty mccary is a surgeon at johns hopkins university hospital. >> when hospitals feel that they have to have a robot just to compete with other hospitals that are marketing the robot on the afternoon news, then we've got a sad state of affairs in american medicine. >> he says the robotic approach is not always better than existing surgical techniques. >> we've got great state-of-the-art, minimally invasive techniques that have worked for years, sometimes decades, that are now being replaced with more expensive robotic technology without a benefit to the patients. >> a recent study in a major medical journal found that the robotic surgery did not reduce complication rates for hysterectomy. though it did add over $2,000 more to the cost of the surgery. and this spring, a leading organization of gynecologists cautioned members to "separate the marketing hype from the reality when considering the best surgical approach" for their patients. >> the robot is a technical tour de force. but i think patients need to know that for some procedures, there's no benefit. >> how do you think robotic

private universities like vanderbilt or johns hopkins or harvey mudd college, any of those can continue to use their affirmative action programs with no interference from the courts. it is only public universities that might have to scale back and given that this is a 7-1 opinion and that they are not overruling any of their earlier cases i think this might be limited to schools like texas, that have their 10% program. but the court is making sure that courts will scrutinize affirmative action programs more carefully. i do think, though, that as long as a school is using race as a factor, not as a hard determinant, and as long as they don't have another method of admitting a diverse class, that is as long as they're not using a top 10% program, i think most of those universities should be safe. the court seems to have gone out of its way not to strike down all of affirmative action. in fact, justice thomas has issued a concuring opinion in which he says that the earlier cases should be overruled. he wants to do something very broad, strike down all of affirmative action. the rest of the

johns hopkins. it's very interesting. i enjoyed your talk, your question and answer session. i think we are talking about the facts, they have had a very highly professional army. the nuclear and strategic plans division are the professional and confidential. such that any plans that are made would be very difficult because we do not divulge that have permission to everybody. barely anybody in the army even knows where everything is. so that is contained in a very small community. secondly, the question, i think every state has a right to make contingencies and plans for any potential threat in the future. you would not exist if you did not plan for the future. a thing might occur, and that is within the environment. i have been working a lot on counter-terrorism. suraya understand that. anderson the feelings. they're is a lot, the media produces the type of industry which makes people very nervous. unfortunately you have the media that really propagates. this isn't. having said that demand this is where the question comes, what if there was a situation like this in the estat

he said he took computer classes at johns hopkins. they have no record of snowden. didn't complete it. the senate hearing yesterday turned up evidence that the u.s. office of personnel management show that usis may not have been as thorough as it should have been in investigating snowden. now nobody scream but howard dean tells cnn he is open to running for president again. he said if other politicians don't address the issues concerning to him, he would consider running for office again. we're back after the break. ♪ >> if you believe in state's rights but still support the drug war you must be high. >> "viewpoint" digs deep into the issues of the day. >> do you think that there is any chance we'll see this president even say the words "carbon tax"? >> with an open mind... >> has the time finally come for real immigration reform? >> ...and a distinctly satirical point of view. >> but you mentioned "great leadership" so i want to talk about donald rumsfeld. >> (laughter). >> watch the show. >> only on current tv. (vo) this afternoon, current tv is the place for comp

qualification programs, was going to get his masters in some sort of computer science he attended johns hopkins. he funded everything within his educational background and somehow convinced the personnel screeners to overlook that at booz allen hamilton off convinced them that that was appropriate. he fudged within that process. now we find out that when he went and worked for the government, that the contractor that screened him for the government did a rotten job. hal: which was a rotten company. jacki: and lied about doing a rotten job. somewhere the vetting process broke down. hal: right. and this is going to be a continuing issue. jacki: they didn't just screen this one guy. hal: right. they screened tens of thousands. jacki: they are contractors that screen for government security clearance. >> crooks and liars brought this up, i brought this up, you brought this up. when we start talking about how the federal government and government is bad inefficient and incapable always the better version, because it's cheaper and more expedited is to go to a private company. jacki: that is a private

my name is edward joseph with johns hopkins. i agree with the previous questioner.t is absolutely terrific event. i would like to take up the challenge, if i could, to give you an example of where armies, insurgents made their decisive difference in bosnia, 1995. actually, beginning 1994. but the army -- and i would underscore the training of both forces were the key determinant, not nato air strikes. actually, it was the improvement in the capacity of the ground forces that made the difference in the ground that brought the serbs to the negotiating table seriously, and that is what made it possible. of course there are many differences. with someone who i am sure you are quite familiar with, she and i have written an article in the national interest that examines the differences between -- and the similarities between bosnia and syria. among them is -- and this is just to get to andrews point about bosnia on steroids, of course, syria has over five times the population, meaning that you would have to have on the order of five to 600,000 casualties to have the same

ben carson, the former director of pediatric 94 row surgery at johns hopkins hospital. dr. us the moral context for this. how should we regard edward snowden? >> i'm not sure that we should put labels on him, but we should look at what we can learn from this situation. there are probably other people who are in sensitive positions who perhaps have information that would be useful for the american people to know, but you have to understand that there is a proper way in order to disseminate that information. this was not done in the proper way. so, you know, we shouldn't so much concentrate on him as making information available to other people who may have important information for us. you know, it is absolutely important that we know what's being done and what's being monitored, because people act differently, say things differently, when we know they're being monitored. that's when you go into a store, there's a sign up that says you are being videoed. you know, the secrecy that is going on right now coupled with the apparent dishonesty in government obviously has dampened

my name is edward joseph, with johns hopkins. i agree with the previous questioner. i would like to take up the challenge to give you an example of where arming insurgents made a decisive difference. of course, that is bosnia, 1995. actually, beginning 1994. the arming, and i would underscore the training, of andts in particular, bosnian forces, were the key determinant, not nato airstrikes. it was the improvement in capacity of the ground forces that made the difference on the ground that wrought the serbs to the negotiating table seriously at dayton and made that agreement possible. of course, there were many differences. am sure you are familiar with, elizabeth -- she and i have written an article differencess the and similarities between bosnia and sya. to get to -- this is andrew's point that syria has over five times the population, meaning you have to have on the order of 500,000 to 600,000 casualties to have the same relative impact you had in bosnia. markestion to andrew is, has made -- >> we are going to have to hold it there. >> may i ask a question quickl

fromlds a master's degree johns hopkins university. now i would like to turn it over to our panelists for some brief opening statements. look at the economic costs and benefits of immigration reform. analysissis of my starts from the understanding of the redistributive nature of government. to psychoanalysis applies government in general. i look at total taxes paid in and all the benefits paid by individuals, including national defense, looking essentially of how much is redistributive from the upper class to the bottom half of the population. is roughly $1 trillion transferred from the top to the bottom, not particularly controversial. the other thing that i showed this startling, the average household in the united states ,eceives $34,000 for year implying it they would have to pay that in taxes to break-even. not many households pay that much in taxes. the issue then gets stronger, because when you look at the least advantaged households with the lowest levels of education they received over $48,000 a year in benefits and only pay 8
