meet maggie, scientist by day and sci-fi fanatic by night. maggie's watching a 1950s film about scientists who invent a device that catapults them into the fourth dimension, where they can walk through walls and read minds. like the rest of us, maggie lives in a three-dimensional world. but she also appears to have an interest in alternate dimensions. in 1940, master sci-fi author robert heinlein wrote the short story "and he built a crooked house." in the story, our hero builds his home from an unfolded four-dimensional hypercube. when an earthquake strikes, the house folds up, creating the world's first four-dimensional house, where occupants can look down a hallway and see their own backs. dimension is one of the most important and intriguing ideas in mathematics. we move in three dimensions of space, we live in four dimensions of space...and time, but mathematicians and increasingly scientists of all flavors, from statisticians to biologists, are finding that they need to understand and work in worlds of hundreds and even thousands of dim

we have maggie herzog. is our teacher today. >> who's more irish than maggie herzog. >> hi, maggie. >> how are you? you're going to show us a little something. should we get up? >> yes. >> irish jig. >> irish jig. show us what you got. >> point your right toe and start with a big jump. and a cut. >> i can't do this. >> cut over your left knee. >> i'm not very balanced. >> bring that leg right to the back, hop back. >> i can't jump around. >> jump, cut, hop back. >> okay. ♪ >> the first part. >> six, seven, eight. >> you make it look easy. >> how about this kick. >> maggie herzog, you're good. >> all right. up next, what is the best vegetable to add to your salad to ward off an infection? >> kale. i don't know. take our immunity boosters quiz. >>> it's just not breakfast without milk. get nourished every day. got milk? >> it's time for "get started today" and our immunity booster pop quiz. >> from the right amount of sleep to what will give you the best pick-me-up during the day. erin hobday is here with us

a little bit. >> host: okay. >> guest: and i just got too busy to journal and my husband was like maggie, you got to write this stuff down, you got to write this stuff down. john, i know it's all in there. i know we'll never forget this but, you know, little things like, you know, that first time i actually got in front of an audience and spoke at our good friend's church i adjourned about that. it was a gut-wrenching experience and to actually present our little journey to a room of strangers and how they would respond and to speak and so i journaled and when we met some committee leaders and they actually thanked us for what we were doing. i journaled when i got a letter from a 7-year-old kid. thank you for doing this. you gave me hope. i wrote little things down but for the most part day-to-day search and all the encounters with all the fantastic business owners and some of the not so fantastic businesses is in there and then this became a movement so it became less about the day-to-day engaging the businesses and more about this message and the community. >> host: and getting that ou

maggie graciously agreed to return on the subject today.ip about casting vision and your name is cited in documents they have subsections and titles, one called raising negatives and we need to interrupt the attempt to equate gay with black and sexual orientation with race. we immediate need to make sexua intellectually respectable again in elite culture. >> i haven't stopped beating my wife yet because i never began beating my wife. listen, the problem -- this was an in-house document. i don't like the language because i think it makes us sound way too big for our britches. the truth is what we've done since 2009, when that was described, is reach out and work with people across lines of different races, different creeds and different colors who believe we need to protect marriages, the union of husband and wife. i would never want to think that any of the minority leaders whether it's my hero, senator ruben diaz from the bronx, or the bishops from the church of god in christ, the largest black pentecostal denomination or any other leaders

i would say, hi, maggie, but you're not there.y to do this as fair as i can from both sides, you're going to get a lot more air time because you're the only one here to answer questions. is that okay? >> that sounds just fine with me. >> my first question was going to be to maggie about this board update labeled as dealing with president obama and some of the negatives being raised. in it it says we need to interrupt the attempt to equate gay with black and sexual orientation with race. we need to make traditional sexual morality intellectually respectful again in our elite culture. i was going to ask maggie how do you deny these documents as proving that the national organization for marriage is trying to ensure bigotry and homophobia. isn't this truth that the national organization for marriage is trying to ensure bigotry and homophobia? >> yeah, this is a smoking gun. this is absolute evidence that they are race baiting. and the reason they're doing this is because they've lost the argument over marriage equality. they said if

now to maggie's point it's become all about him and who he is. i want to clarify -- >> you can't criticize him for not knowing him and when he tells stories you say it's about him. >> that's my point. i want to clarify. when he's telling stories about factories closing and stuff, he's telling it as someone who thinks that he is entitled or should be given the presumption he should be president, and someone of course he has been in the political world, he knows these problems, he's known how businesses make decisions and how governors have to shut down or i guess his dad had to shut factories. he has been there all the time. to ari's point he doesn't have the perspective of someone who lost a job because a factory closed down. >> he's not talking about voters. his connection to voters is not talking about their lives. this is what i'm trying to say. well put. any time. this is he has managed to turn what should be a connection with voter, that's the idea and understanding their problems, into some story about his family. i think that's the problem

maggie is a wire fox terrier. and when her owners were away, she decided that she was going go for a little walk on the ledge. >> i see her. yeah. look at that. >> sometimes a dog has to go outside. >> maybe she needed fresh air, but she is on the ledge that is four stories up and five inches wide. >> oh. >> kind of a dangerous little walk for her. >> it's cat territory. >> this happened in chicago. the chicago fire department got a call. they were just around the corner, so they got there very quickly. but fortunately she on her own started backing up to the window where you can see a firefighter was waiting for her. >> oh. >> he scooped her up and brought her back inside to safety. >> shaking, little legs shaking on the dog. trying not to scare him. when i got close enough, i scooped him and got into the apartment. >> that is a well-balanced dog. that back-up move was nice. >> she kind of moon walked to get back in. >> her owner did speak to television station, and she was so grateful that the firefighters rescu

wide and four stories up a fire fighter reached out an apartment window and maggie backed up carefullytime and into his arms maggie's honor such she's grateful and she plans to keep the windows closed when her dog is indoors >>on the medical watch make sure your vaccinations are up to date before travelling abroad this summer there are fears of a possible measles outbreak in the united states fuelled by tourists coming home from this summer's olympics in london the new england journal of medicine reports each measles case costs about one enters $60,000 that includes investigation follow up and possible hospitalization the euro 2012 soccer cup begins june 8th in poland and the ukraine and the summer olympics began in england july 27th major outbreaks of measles are underway in europe right now exercised as more and on the body it pleasures the body as well an overwhelming number of women report they've experienced sexual pleasure while exercising nearly half of those women who answered an online survey by researchers from indiana university kinsey institute said they had exercise induce

we'll be joined by maggie lake and have the opening bell. that's the latest from the street.lus europe and asia. see you then.

>> i agree with maggie.casting any gloom or doom yet, but i think that column is written for the benefit of republican donors. because at this point in time, the media, operatives, they are not going to shift their focus from the presidential race to the congressional and senatorial races, but there are people out there with lots of money. we see that -- >> why would will want to do that? >> maybe someone whispered in his ear. >> i don't mean in a conspiratorial way. people looking to invest in republican politics may be the ones who say, listen. we have to start setting up super pacs and getting money to get the senate back and to protect the house. that's where this sort of talk might have a real world impact. >> let me give you a sober analysis from krauthammer. he's what he wrote today. the smoke clears and romney remains slow, steady, unspectacular, the tortoise in the race. dull and methodical with an awkward almost endearing, note almost endearing stiffness. in short, a weak front-runner and an even w

maggie lake, cnn, new york. >>> well, as maggie says, the u.s.as had a monopoly on the top job until now. the developing world looks like it could be pushing back. represented by at this stage at least two possible candidates. the first one is the nigerian finance minister. now a source says she hasn't actually put herself forward for that job and there's no certainty she even wants it. she would have a lot of support across africa. certainly she is seen as a corruption campaigner, anti-corruption campaigner. she's a harvard graduate. certainly widely well-respected right across the african continent. another predicted candidate is this man, jose antoni oe ocampo. form jericho lum beian finance minister. he has spoken about the need for global protection. he's believed to have the backing of brazil. if either of these two is to end the u.s. domination of the world bank, nina, they have to form a consensus among the developing countries. u.s. and europe have half the voting power. there is an unwritten agreement which we have spoken about between

tonight she took maggie to engine 22 to say thank you.ing to help him remember his new friends. we are grateful to have him around the corner. a second away and we hope to not need them again. as for maggie she is fine. and from now want when she is inside those windows will be closed. chicago fire officials say that they tried to stay away from calls involving pets. animal control is supposed to handle them but that can take awhile for our response so when ever they can't firefighters like rolle are always willing to help out. still ahead. a national guardsman reunited with his son. that is ahead. and the chicago bulls take on the magic. we will have our report. ors [ bell dings ] agents, when it comes to insurance, people feel lost. that's a dead end. don't know which way to turn. this way. turn around. [ woman ] that's why we present people with options to help them find coverage that fits their needs. almost there. whoo! yay! good work. that's a new maze record. really? i have no idea. we don't keep track of that kind of stuff. well,

i'm luke russert in for alex wagner and joining me is our political analyst ed rendell, and maggie and ben smith. let's go to the showdown in chicago. president obama is holding two fundraisers in his hometown today while mitt romney campaigned down the road in rose mont this morning, romney may have bigger worries than president obama. he bumped up his visit to illinois to monday. this is what he told candidates. >> i need you to show up and vote, and you can vote multiple times by getting a friend to go with you. i know this is chicago, i had to clarify that. >> ha, ha, mitt romney poking if you know at election fraud. mitt romney is in slight bit of damage control in a sense, after the wins by santorum, going to illinois, an expensive state in terms of media market. he is trying get a leg up. >> is concerned, there was a poll that showed he had a slight lead. we saw this in michigan and ohio, states that were supposed to be easy for him, and santorum made it tighter. they were barely in in mississippi, he was there just enough to raise the expectations and they are actually trying a

maggie, this sounds like pretty close to an ultimatum. don't worry about israel.ans. we have bunker busters. we can do this job later on. trust us. they are not getting that nuclear weapon. this is a hell of a statement by the president. >> this is meant to make the clearer statement that he's made so far on this issue. this is coming in advance to his meeting with the president of israel. but this was the strongest we have heard this president be on this topic. >> has he trapped himself in a position where if the israelis -- he may be saying i'm giving you the hot potato, but it is a hot potato. but you have to. we cannot have a nuclear weapon in the hands of ak ma din jad. >> he praised his own sanctions and talked about getting them to work. he made an important point. which is if we go in there and take out their nuclear facilities, that doesn't stop iran from wanting and still pursuing weapons down the road. >> in fact, the people will say if we had a nuclear weapon, they wouldn't be able to do this to us. >> he thinks in long-terms for a lot of problems. we

joining me today maggie habarman and the man of so many titles, nbc political director, chief white house correspondent and host of "the daily run down" chuck todd. if you are playing at home tonight, there are three super tuesday state that can change the race. the buckeye state could keep us late showing a dead heat so far. chuck i'm going to throw it to you. it ain't over until it's over. right? >> there's a whole museum dedicated to yogi bear, i tweeted it and they tweeted me back. >> it's a wonderful place. >> my work is done. >> and that is the challenge tonight, mitt romney he will win the balts for delegates he would like to shut down the perception battle here. the irony is that santorum has the pressure. he has to win ohio and tennessee to continue the case that he has a path to the nomination. losing one of them hurts them. losing both of them would seal the deal. but by the way, if romney does it, if we are totaled muddled it's the first super tuesday in the republican party that we will not have ended the nomination on super tuesday. >> that is not quite a super tuesday then,

this week's maggie anderson and her book, "our black year." and it ms. anderson writes about the year her family spent engaged in the economic experiment of buying exclusively from african-american owned businesses. she discusses her findings and the importance of what she calls conscious consumerism with "washington post" reporter krissah thompson. >> host: maggie this was a fascinating read. it must have been quite an adventure for you and your family. were the origins? >> guest: we didn't know what would calm out of this fantastic journey. it was really what you read, a naÏve, nerdy couple trying to do something to pass by their guilt. that is really how it started and then when we made the pledge to do it for a whole year we thought maybe if we would do this for a whole year the media might pick up on it, maybe we can inject this conversation we keep having a monks ourselves into a national dialogue. maybe we can touch the story. we had no idea that number one the media would respond the way it did in the community would respond the way it did and it

we assumed that the same phenomena would exist in a black community. >> maggie anderson discusses her book, one black year this friday on c-span radio, 7:00 p.m. eastern on afterwards. >>> c-span radio is wc -- around the country on xm satellite radio and washington today continues. > >>> we're getting the support i need to become the nominee. >> we had a good night but so did governor romney. that's why we have to start anew here. we have to do well here in kansas. no, we have to win here in kansas and win big. [ applause ] >> and so the campaigning continues one day after super tuesday which in past president primaries, kind of a benchmark into why we're going and coalescing around a candidate. we saw that four years ago with john mccain. but all four candidates vowing to stay in the race. the next focus will be kansas and next week two southern primaries in mississippi and alabama. welcome to hour two of washington today on c-span radio. i'm steve scully. thanks for being with us. mitt romney's campaign saying it raised over a million dollars in february. comparing to $9 million fo

>> jim maggie. >> jim maggie? >> sure, why not? >> there's news going on here. come here. cnn political director emails to explain why his network has not called alabama when nbc has. >> and abc just had. >> we wanted to be absolutely sure. we're in no rush. but that trend is holding new alabama and mississippi sources tell us that the trend for santorum is holding you will as well. 60% of precincts but 0% of the expected vote in. >> that's really something. apparently santorum just called in to fox news. he said on the record and sean hannity's show has been great to him but the news shows i'm told not so much. i think we're still on schedule to hear from him pretty soon. >> if you're the roll any campaign what do you say tomorrow? they're fortunate because we're not going to see governor romney for a while. governor romney flew out of kansas city today, where hevpled bandage campaigning. went to new york. for the next two days he'll be doing fundraising events in new york and connecticut. tomorrow he starts with a fundraising breakfast at a new york hotel. a fundraising

maggie haberman is the ringmaster for questions. you are at her mercy so we're going to go into that and look at a clip people point to to say sarah palin should not be as unhappy about this, imbalanced portrait of her. we will take a look at a clip, moment in the movie that sarah palin supporters come by. >> mr. chairman, delegates and fellow citizens, i will be honored to accept your nomination for vice president of the united states. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. our nominee is a man who wore the uniform of his country for 22 years and refused to break state with troops in iraq and in our have brought victory within sight. >> she is really good. >> we were so blessed in april. we brought our littlest one into the world. a perfectly beautiful baby boy. inspire a very special love. the families of special needs children all across this country, i have a message for you. i pledge to you that if we are elected you have a friend and advocate in the white house. >> incredible. >> before i became governor of the greater state of a

maggie mcintosh asked for and got four tickets for games. >> if they are available, they are available. >> other cities have in post policies. gov. o'malley says he is open to the idea, but did not endorse it. >> i do not believe anyone has accused my family of being abusive of things like this. >> the guest list is lacking clear evidence of willing business before the state. -- wooing business for the state. >> the governor pushed his same- sex marriage built before a group of catholics. the governor said he is confident it will survive referendum. >> while it is likely to be challenged on the ballot, i truly believe that ultimately, the voters of our state will want to be to go once again -- will once again come down on the side of human dignity. >> a house committee today began making budget balancing decisions. what the delegates have in mind is slightly different than what has already passed in the senate. >> david collins is watching all of the action. >> based on first impressions, it seems significant changes are in the making. although the committee is working into the evening

i want to start off with you, maggie. it's interesting.ry and you had a rough year, i would say, trying to find anything from toilet paper to, you know, security system. what kind of obstacles did you face? >> well, actually when we conducted this experiment, we did this thinking that it would be a lot easier than it turned out to be. we just wanted to put a little bit more of our money into underserved black communities. we thought that it was just a matter of awareness. we assumed that just like in every other community there would be black-owned grocery stores, department stores, hardware stores, drugstores, places where we can buy stuff for our kids. ha we found was that was not the case and in many black communities, those stores do exist but they're not owned by the local black entrepreneurs. what results is that the hard-earned wealth of those consumers and communities exits the community. that leads to the high unemployment and a lot of the social crises that my people suffer from disproportionately. it was a tough experiment but w

maggie may, i contrast her to sofia loran and windsor is the grace kelly of dogs.tail. >> i heard you just got a golden retriever pup yourself? >> i call him the engine of destruction. >> there you go. >> i think that more of us should treat people the way we treat our dogs. the world would be a better place. >> bo versus shameus could decide the election. >> rebecca brooks was arrested as part of the ongoing investigation of the phone hacking scandal of news of the world newspaper, how about that in steve kornacki of course does this mean the wheels are turning for perhaps a murdoch arrest? >> in could go all -- this could go all the way to the top, and the political fall out for the prime minister. they are close and have ties that go back to school days. it draws attention to his elite status. he is in the united states today, he is going to the basketball game barack obama tonight. >> i do not want to beat a dead horse or dead dog, don't you think that rebecca's hair looks like shamus. >> that is this thing, she has that flame hair -- >> and shamus had red hair

>> is it maggie? do you have issues there often? i am asking because i have a neighbor who complained to me. >> if it is, i would bring it up in front of the commission. they got a notice of violation two years ago. that was on st. patrick's day. they do not have a regular occurrence. all the way down grant street we have several clubs we have to take a look at and make sure they are in compliance. >> with same trap -- st. patrick's day coming up this weekend, are there any special precautions? >> it is not just the one day, it is the two. you have the financial district on friday. you have a lot of resources going into that day. we have block party street closures. on saturday, more in the north beach area. we have a number of establishments that we have brought in a lot of resources from the city. some are paying for the street closures to have officers there. they are allocating officers from different parts of the city. >> thank you. any members of the public wish to comment on the police report? next item. item number five. ite

yo joining me now is maggie haber man.ference in the ohio vote. >> as i recall from looking theity data, my memory is that i think that rick santorum did poorly with people who are you know, against -- did did well with people against abortion and it split pretty much the way you expect it to. santorum has become identified as a social issues candidate. he argued against it and said it's not fair. but the point is that there's not a agendgender gap, that is important, you see the field has gotten a bit dinged up with women and independents as this over contraception and other issues has played out. >> does it effect turnout and whether a large group of women are staying home? >> i think it could be a big factor in the fall, you are seeing the obama campaign focused on women as they are surge targeting women voters. he has been speaking and appealing to women voters. i think they think there's a chance for women that may stay at home otherwise, may be brought over to the democratic message. >> they are already making money

as maggie reports, business is booming. >> reporter: everybody in this room is building apps.igning apps. >> reporter: when squirrel motion co-founder josh kopel walks through his firm's office in mid town manhattan. >> this is our product group. >> reporter: even he is astounded by his firm's group. >> one year ago we were 30 people, today we are 130 people. i know that about 130 people out there wouldn't be employed were it not for an ipad. >> reporter: call it the company the ipad built. squirrel motion was built four years ago to help publishers build flashy apps for their books and magazines. today it's enjoying wider growth. other new york companies are also adding staff as the ipad and other tablets gain in popularity. downtown at the offices of comicsology, 20 somethings are busy formatting the latest comics for the ipad and other devices. >> when the ipad came out i guess we were probably about six to seven people. now we're about 50. >> reporter: apple, which has been criticized for using cheap overseas labor to manufacture its products, is pointing to these success

i guess a better question i put to you, maggie, is, what if, what if gingrich and santorum had been on the ballot in virginia? it's an interesting state, one of the 10 most important states, i think, in presidential politics, probably about five now given that it's been competitive an obama was able to do so well last time arn. do you think a santorum or gingrich would have done very well in the state given the large number of social conservatives? >> i think they had the opportunity to. it's now gingrich's home state. this is the place where he lives. i think it has an interesting electorate. i think they would have run into the same problems, they would have been outspent, i think they would have been jut spent heavily by the romney campaign an superpac. i think that's been a big x factor but i think it could have been a different night if either of them or both of them managed to make it. >> perhaps no one better to talk about virginia than governor bob mcdonell. talking to us from richmond tonight, thanks for joining us, let's talk about tonight's results. you being a surrogate for

mark murray, laura hurley, karen green, lanetta spears, paul, doris, james, nancy, maggie, sandy, sabrina, maurice, dan -- diana, ms. coleman, ms. flores, sherry, david, sataro, patricia, and brandy. our most of the people here? >> is it on? president yee: is it outside somewhere? do you know? go ahead. or on. -- hold on. we will give you two minutes instead of once. >> and you ask us to get involved with our kids' education grid when we do, our voices are totally ignored. the only choice that we see seems to think is racism. what we ask for at our school, what we elect is ignored. they put in their personal -- they put their personal agendas in front of our kids' education. believe it or not, there are some decent black and latino families in 92114 who would like to see our kids educated and attend college. in the over 40 years i have been a student, parent, grandparent, to have a principal and vice principal go around and hand out pink slips to teachers that are doing their jobs. there are not doing their job because one teacher does not want to teach three kids that are disrupting the
