he taught me during my third year at nyu. and his class was phenomenal.one of the things i noted in reading that really impressed me, because i grew up in brooklyn is that you talk about how with gentry any cation that real life like with you showing the film has not been projected like you grew up where there was a crack house and a business on the corner. and that's the brooklyn i knew, not the brooklyn of the high rises and the expensive apartments and the restaurants outside in the street with cafes, and that's happening all over the country. >> yeah. >> why was it important for you to tell that part of brooklyn and urban life? >> well, for one, you know, that's the brooklyn that i know and love. and that exists in my current neighborhood that i've been living in, in the last ten years, and in a lot of ways, my neighborhood remains unchanged. i also feel like, you know, mainstream immediate what sort of focuses on that so much. and that representation of theborough. and i wanted to show the perspective that i think is lacking in a lot of different mov

generators or all located below sea level happened in new york city during hurricane sandy down at nyurned, eight years later. it's crazy. i mean i think that in new orleans they learned. hospitals are about power and water. you need to have that. and we lost that in new york. and it was crazy to see after all the lessons we should have learned from katrina, that again we're seeing babies being carried down darkened staircase, so yes we've got infrastructure all over this country whether it's been, you know, tornado alley, hospitals up to code, earthquake zones. you know, when i'm going to be checked into a hospital f i have something that needs to be done, i want to ask. so we need to be asking tough questions about our hospitals. we need to be asking tough questions of our government, about regulations that maybe need to be strengthened that our government has said after katrina, need to be strengthened. still haven't been released all these years later. so we have major things to learn and that's why i wrote this five day the a memorial. >> jon: if you asked, if i go into the hospit

marc siegel, associate professor of medicine at nyu's langone medical center. author of "the inner pulse." >> dr. david samadi here as well. dr. siegel, the author. we've got it all for you folks today. great to see both of you. >> thank you. >> this was interesting this week. there's some new evidence that the leading cause of death in america is likely preventable. 25% of the time. the study is raising questions, as you can imagine, on one issue in particular. heart it is. we want to start with dr. siegel and ask you, preventable sounds really good. >> especially when we're talking about the number one cause of at the time in the united states. one out of three deaths in the u.s. are caused by heart disease. 800,000 deaths rb heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure. 200,000 of those are preventable. now, how are they preventable? the first thing you've got to look at is lifestyle. we've been talking about it on the show forever. diet and exercise. dr. freeden, head of the cdc and probably the top preventive medicine in the country, i interviewed him and he

-- a team of nyu medical people on the scene as well? >> yes, there are. i cannot respond to that question because i am not on the scene and i don't have that information. >> but you do have medical people your personnel, there at the scene? >> that is my understanding, yes. >> katie, what we're worried about now is that the other building may come down. they have obviously evacuated that whole area as a result of the crash of one world trade center. now i'm told there's concern about the second one collapsing as well. there's been an enormous amount of structural damage in the upper floors of all that and it is more than 100 stories high. it wouldn't take much to bring it down. >> kathleen thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> we're told now that a spokesman for yasser arafat, the leader of the palestinian -- the leader of the pla, palestinian liberation association, arafat has condemned what has happened here in new york. he says hat plo has nothing to do with it whatsoever. they're shocked and appalled by what is hap

engineering school is doubling the size of it and nyu is collaborating with overseas universities andtracting the big companies. google has a block square building and microsoft has similar to that. everyone of these companies are opening in new york city and not just opening sales office, they are opening development offices and in the same thing coming in this direction. you want to be in a place that is fun, that is diverse, and that's challenging. and i come back to the same thing here in this city and my city are going to be major game changers in the world economically and academically for years to come and they are going to add to the pool of sophisticated talent generate new jobs and economic activity. we have to figure out how the other cities are losing hope. we are a country of equal opportunity and not equal results. we have to make sure people have the ability to move up an share in the american dream and that means being self sufficient and having the education that you need to understand the issues and participate. when it comes to tech, we have a government in new york

associate professor of medicine at the nyu langal medical center, also author of the inner pulse, unlocking the code of sickness. >> and dr. subody. we start with the really important topic, has to do with alzheimer's. they actually say there's a new brain scan that can not only diagnose alzheimer's in a living person but can also track it as it's in your brain. dr. siegel, this sounds great, but it's also kind of frightening if you are told you have alzheimer's. >> first, we're talking about a global pandemic, an epidemic. they're saying alzheimer's is now a global epidemic. they're expecting 14 million cases by 2050. it's on the rise. that doesn't mean everybody who comes to see me who is forgetful, who can't make daily decisions has this. it could be a b-12 deficiency, stress, medications, several different factors. >> what do we look for? >> we look for a consistent change in everyday behavior. with decision making, especially with memory loss. you can't decide, you lose your car keys, you can't decide where you lose your car. it's a progressive problem. here's the thing that the study

marc siegel is here, associate professor of medicine at nyu. good to ssee you. >> good to see you. >> hope everyone is well. >> welcome back. >> thank you. great to be with you. i'm going to start with this brand new study that questions the brain benefits of omega-3s. those are the acids most likely found in fatty fishes and nuts. they have been tied in this new study to brain boosting. some of us do aim to be smarter, but most of us don't want to have demencha, so can we do anything to boost our brain, give us more brain power? >> the simple answer to that is to exercise your brain. so you want to be active. you want to make sure the same exercise you do for your body and muscles, you do the same by reading, puzzle solving, and getting engaged and playing cards, et cetera. those are everyday kind of things you can do. when it comes to omega-3 fatty acids, we have spoken so many times about this. it's time to put it to rest and go over the good, bad, and ugly. what's good about omega-3 fatty acids is it helps with rheumatoid arthritis. it redu

money and time as training teachers as i became a teacher i think my big skill coming out i went to nyu and bachelor's in elementary ed. i could thread a projector with the best of them and my career in the 70's and in the last panel "if you had all the money what would you invest in?" . i would invest in education and we're not investing in the future of the children and the in the country and the global future of our world and i agree absolutely with everything you said. we're short changing our kids and not giving teachers the resources. there is mold in the teacher's work room. if i worked in the building that many children go to school in i wouldn't go to work either and in answer to your question there is a priority here about education that's not quite right. >> and while we're earmarking money i would totally support that and i feel that we should train teachers in digital media. you can't teach cooking out a kitchen, so we need to bring digital media into the classroom so people can practice in the environments they're in all the time outside of school. >> and i would say that

i was at a panel at nyu about women in the law, and it was nyu's first annual conference on women in the law, and, actually, i'll have to admit the reason i was there is because my mother was a speaker. she was past president of the national association of women lawyers, and she started an annual survey. she was first a cosh yowlings, and growing up, she was told she had to be a teacher, that basically at the age of 40, graduated from law school, and ended up going and was a major partner in two major law firms, and then she always felt upset by what she saw and how the treatment of women in law firms and even though she rose to be a managing partner of a major law firm, she started a survey, an annual survey of national law firms across the country, and what she found is 15% of women today in 2013 make equity partner across the board in just her annual survey about roughly 15% of women are able to make equity partner in the law firms across the country was the statistic they found, and that's actually really sad, and, you know, someone got up in the audience saying, realm, you know,

pretty accurate, but even more accurate is the following front reviewer william easterly, professor at nyuand specialist in development. he's written in one of the most readable and evocative accounts of foreign aid ever written, virtually nothing about foreign aid is easy. that's a word that jeffrey sachs is not infrequently throughout the book. jeffrey sachs offered a subject message to westerners that they could be the saviors who could have poverty in africa with a modest amount of effort after reading the superb book, no one will ever again make ending poverty is really that easy. as for my forthcoming review by professor william easterly, having made nina munk spoke myself, i think that's pretty accurate. nina is also the author of a previous book called fools rush in. not a bad title for the current book except maybe the forward he shortened to cingular. steve case, jerry levin and the making of aol time warner. she's invited wallet away this book was a very different experience, in another way was rather similar because steve case, jerry levin and they're like reminded her of the j

now in studio, is an al jazeera contributor and the codirector at the liberty and security center at nyu you listen to this day unfolding, your thoughts on whether or not we are seeing history repeat itself with regards to syria? >> i'm not sure i would go that far at this point in time what president obama has proposed is a limited strike. he has made it very clear he does not intend to have boots on the ground. so he is making a concerted effort not to repeat the mistakes of iraq and afghanistan. there is also the risk that once the united states starts taking military action in syria, that it would be drawn into a broader conflict. and there is no appetite for that either in congress or amongst the american people or president obama himself. >> and yet in washington they have the term blowback which is if an event happens, that event leads to another event happening down the road. is there a concern that one day we're looking at another september 11th where somebody says they are angry about what the united states does? >> i think that is always a risk whenever the united states inter

she's a reporter for nbc and the 33-year-old named co-founder of nyu's multifaith leadership group.r of the clinton foundation and pursuing a ph.d. >> plenty of time obviously. piers morgan talked to chelsea about a lot of things, including the problem with homegrown terror. here's part of what she said. >> there is an issue now with the radicalization of homegrown terror, whether it's america or br britain, but it looks to be a pattern. we saw in the boston marathon. you have this disaffected youth, unemployed youth. you also have a youth susceptible to being radicals. how do you think the best way for a country like america and deal with this kind of problem? >> the greatest risk factor arguably is an unemployed young man. to any social system, so any society anywhere in the world. so ensuring that young people feel like we are collectively investing more in their future than in kind of either harboring past grievances or in kind of protecting the status quo is, i think the best anecdote to that. in some ways kenya was attacked because they have been transcending history ex-tribal

just because i went to nyu -- >> the american dream is the idea that it's been brought up, but it's aboute something available to everybody. if you work hard, if you pay taxes and you get a lot back from the government and have a lot of opportunities, you can succeed. it's wonderful that you succeeded and i hope everyone succeeds from hard work and not from the idea of a dream. >> everyone wants the american dream to be there. it has been said before and should be said again there is far more that unites us than divides us. this is a perfect example. you were talking earlier about working through college and you think you pulled yourself up by your boot straps, that's amazing and what everyone should be able to do. we need to know how to get there. >> probably are going to have and we will say this and my hope for you all because i want you all to succeed, even the liberals, especially him. once you pay the taxes, i want you to see me and we will talk. i am worried that all this that we conditioned the american people to think the government is the answer. if i can give you one small piec

so the nyu president wriewl union recognition. pretty unusual when you have recognized the union, so you negotiated a contract with them. then you withdraw it. that was a protest on washington square in new york, and i was taken to a paddy wagon by a couple of new york policeman who said keep up the good work. of course, new york policeman are also organized in a union. so they applauded what we had done. which was i thought a great -- that was the part of the experience that really sort of mattered to me. graduate students at the place like nyu they can't negotiate their working conditions individually. faculty members at nyu can go in and bargain with the department head, bargain with the dean, if graduate students feel that they are not earning a living wage, if they feel they're a dangerous working conditions in the lab. all they can really do is have a union negotiate better working conditions for them. so it's particularly important for them to be able to organize if they want to. and i've had i've been involved in the gradu
