or the lecture in beethoven's last piano piece. or if you look at that handout, which has this page from the 1972 prize-winning novel, just to give you a bit of context. this is from the middle of a sex scene where burger writes off to discuss the impossibility of writing a sex scene. he also displays his great gift of being a visual artist as well. [laughter] to stress the kind of novel writing for him, he has a passage that appears as an essay in his own writing. before it was pasted in. before the days of computers. burger and susan sontag described themselves as storytellers. but i think their natural tendencies was towards the analytical. at different points they had defined forms of fiction that harnessed and made a virtue of this inclination of the dispersive. i think it went from intellectual to storyteller. the first volume of his trilogy about peasant life in the french alps. the fiction there is bracketed by what burger calls an explanation and a historical afterword. and sometimes case, as is i have crudely joked in an

ten nobel laureates are scheduled to give intense lectures over three days. a professor from the university of colorado was one of the opening day students. he addressed students about the latest research into a category of quantum chemistry called electronic structure. cornell won the nobel prize for physics in 2001. >> translator: i often have lectures in my research field. but i'm looking forward to lectures by nobel laureates in totally different fields. i'm eager to learn as much as possible from them. for my research. >> singapore aims to become a hub for knowledge intensive industries. the government designed the event to attract rising scientific talent. participants are scheduled to visit a medical study center and other cutting edge research facilities in the city state. >>> the indochina peninsula is famous for its rich biodiversity including fresh water fish but the region's rush to modernize has dented the balance of the natural world in unexpected ways. nhk world reports from the northeastern thailand on a threat to the food chain. >> reporter:

senior lecturer on jez's course. and what do we make of jez? well, i reckon he's just a nice lad, trying his best... probably.

. >> it's not my lecturing that changes the student, but it's the student exercise. so our courses feel very much like video games, where you're being bombarded with exercise after exercise. that's very different from the way i teach at stanford, where i'm much more in a lecturing mode. >> porter: at coursera, says online courses aren't dominated by a few aggressive students in a classroom. >> on the online web site, we have these things we call in- video quizzes, where the video pauses and a question pops up. every single student gets to attempt an answer, not just the one smart kid in the first row. >> every single instructor that has taught a course online has told us that it's changed profoundly the way they teach their on-campus students. >> reporter: the university of california at berkeley has decided to partner with another mooc provider called edx, a not- for-profit in cambridge, massachusetts. computer science professor armando fox, who heads campus online learning, lectures about the beauty and joy of computing. as he talks-- with some visual aids-- his le

listening to one of his recorded lectures. he said, the ideal of the soul, the thing it asks for is neither knowledge nor light, nor happiness. the ideal of the soul is space, immensity. the one thing your soul needs is to be free, free to expand and reach out and to embrace the infinite. yes, the ideal of the soul is infinity. it is miserable when it is circumscribed and restricted. it is a fragment of the universal soul which is infinite. that's what i speak about here in this program. the need to move beyond just fitting in, the need to move past being circumscribed, the soul does not like when you get fenced in, when it is told what to do, when it's told it has limitations, when it's told it can't become that. and so many of us go through our life with these enormous limitations that we've placed upon ourselves that have been handed to us from the time that we were little boys and little girls. if you look on the screen you'll see something that is very important and powerful to me. i was swimming not too long ago up in mi

i hope that you were not expecting a formal lecture. i was told this was to be a conversation, but a few minutes ago i half understood that some people were expecting a formal lecture. it doesn't matter. we'll have a conversation. [laughter] i thought, well, let me make remarks about the book, and begin by asking the question which i pose myself why this book of africa, huh did it come about? i was, you know, just why did i write the book? no, because i didn't really write it. i was just putting down a continuing conversation, a continuing discourse in which i've been engaged, i think, most of my life, but if you want examples, if you want some immediate instances of the kind of encounters that led inevitably to putting down notes on the subject matter of the book which, you know, tries to cover quite a bit of range, let's just take the religious side. in the green room just there now, i saw on the wall a poster. title, just announcing, i think, a lecture, and the title is "the greatest shoe op earth. -- "the greatest shoe on earth," an

i am lecturer at stanford university, not a professor. that is another level of this conversation teary let me extend the conversation a little bit. one of the things that it was after i left or go, i taught for many years at stanford and talk, as i told the kids, real stuff. i started a class on cloud computing. three years ago, i started a class at the university in beijing as well on this subject because i feel it is really important. we are in my opinion in the second year of a 20-year cycle that is no different than the client server cycle that happened last time around, and i think education is an important component of this. so i'm going to take my four or five minutes to educate you guys a little bit on what is this thing we call cloud computing. i'm going to try uses much plain english as i can, leave all the technical buzzwords aside, and try to eliminate -- illuminate for you what is happening. fundamentally, is an economic thing that is happening, and that is what has always driven technologies economics. i will get to that in

you've been to a lecture and you've just got back.ot get off on the wrong foot with you telling me things that aren't true. you're blackmailing kitten maguire. tell me about that. who? she won't tell me what it is you've got on her. i think she's frightened of you. okay, i want a lawyer. i'm sure you do, but i forgot to bring one. all of this stuff is paid for by kitten. she's lying. is she? i haven't told you what she said yet. you're a policeman. you're not actually allowed on college premises without the permission of the master or his appointed representative. and you are dirty, woodrow. i want you to know that i know. and i want you to know that i'm going to have you. soco's found this in a wheelie bin down the road from the faculty. they're good boys. very thorough. what's on it? frisch's skin, which is what one might expect. but there's also a very small quantity of leather. one doesn't play the lute wearing gloves. with garrottings one must expect gloves; the garrotter doesn't want to cut their hands on the murder weapon. i ha

we spoke with robert pozen, senior lecturer at harvard business school. our money markets, i think they're relatively safe and after the crieses the sec took several actions that made them a little safer. it reduced the average maturity from 90 days to 60 days. it now requires 97 or more percent of the assets of money market funds to be highly rated. and it also imposed certain liquidity requirements so they would have enough funds to meet redemptions. >> as we learned four nears-- iers ago not all money market funds are created equal. >> s this's absolutely rightment one big division is between money market funds that invest only in treasuries and other government guaranteed securities. now historically that's been a pretty safe group of money market funds. the group of money market funds where the issues have been are called prime funds because they invest in commercial paper of various sorts of companies. >> sure. >> and so i think that we shouldn't take a broad-brush approach. we should really focus on those commercial paper or prime money market fund

it was a great effort by the folks who do that lecture. to show you how well i listened, i have some take away points on that. the first is that all disasters are local. the folks here in san francisco are going to be in charge from the minute the disaster happens and i think that that's really critical to understand. the local authorities evaluate the situation on the ground and execute what locally is available, then they evaluate shortfalls and what they have and then generate those requirements up through that defined chain of command, as i mentioned earlier. then once those agencies determine what those requirements are, they are given back to the city who employs those as they think they need to be deployed because, again, they are the eyes and understand the local situation. i think going through this that the navy and the marine corps, we're used to being in charge whenever we show up and we're not going to be in this situation. i think it's important for us to understand that and we do and i think we, if we were employed in this c

you took the gold ring, fine. >> don't come back and lecture us and tell bus global warming. you decided to buy yourself a giant igloo called $100 million. >> let me ask you about the f-16s and the tanks to egypt. >> congress ought to cut off the sale. given the chaos in egypt and the rise of the muslim brotherhood. the only plausible enemy against which to use f-16s and m-1 tanks is israel. there is no reason for us to be tell selling them. >> who is making the money from this purchase? >> i don't know whether they are surplus or from corporations in america that are building them. i don't know the answer to that. but in either case, there are lots of markets in the world -- egypt right now is a very bad place to send weapon it's. >> why would we do that? >> to prop up the egyptian government. >> but why would we do that? we will hear from the secretary of state hillary clinton on the topic. but is it -- is it money or is it political? >> well, originally, we were doing it because i think it was reached under mubarak as dictator and it was part of a long-term relationship wi

. >> sean: thank you for lecturing them. >> i'm not lecturing, they'll find out.not me saying it. >> and that's wrong. >> his family is at risk is what he said. >> i can take care of myself. >> look there's two sides to that, too, every time you-- >> and two sides if you're carrying a gun. >> i can't turn on the tv without seeing another mass shooting. there's two sides to it. >> nothing to do with that. >> i understand that, and-- >> that's not us doing those mass shootings, sir. >> so you attack the legal citizens? >> no, i'm saying they had a right to publish it, and goodwill come out of it. >> irresponsible. >> and just because they had the right did not mean that they had to publish it. >> you know, the government knows, the government knows all of this. every one of you-- >> the question we need to ask is what was the intents of this, the intent, whether or not you realize this, you are a bully and you are a pawn in the liberal media complex. >> and want to-- >> yes, sir in the back in the third row. >> sean, my name is pat, i'm a retired police officer and

otherwise i'll show you later in the lecture. paint lines are another indicator of how damaged buildings are. if you want to look at the paint lines on this building, it's kind of hard to tell until you get up close. remember, this building is kind of a grayish tannish color, i guess. when you get a little bit closer, this side of the building should be the same color as this side of the building. what happened was this building moved away from the building next door and that's how far it moved. separation between buildings. you want to look at the separation to see if it's even, is it the same distance at the bottom as at the top, but that's another indicator of how damaged buildings are. this one looks fairly even, but when you get closer you can tell with the racking on the bottom that this building was pulled away. liquefaction, liquefaction is a term they use when the ground is loose. usually when structures or infrastructure is built on sand or land fill, something that's not solid, what happens is in shaking, during an ear

the liberals often lecture us about privacy. >> mr., have you forgotten sandy hook where a lunatic shot 20 kids? let me get my point across, please, mr. hannity. my point is that this will alert the neighborhood of people who are mentally ill and this information, it's disclosed under the freedom of information act. >> sean: and people moving on their neighbors, and i think that person is mentally ill, better take his gun and people don't like their opinions. >> could have saved 26 lives, could have saved 26 lives and an elementary school. >> jay. >> the tragedy part of what happened in sandy hook-- >> there are certainly people in this country, mr. hannity, that do not need a gun. they can register for a gun, they can acquire the gun, but they're mentally disturbed. >> background checks are required by law in all 50 states. what you're doing here is putting individual citizens who are legally in possession of arms that are protected by the second amendment to the united states constitution. you're putting them in-- the police officers
