from washington, jeffrey goldberg, and professor abbas milani of stanford university and i'm pleasedo have each of them here. and i will begin with jeffrey goldberg in washington. where do you think the obama middle east policy and gulf policy stands today? >> that's a very good question. and it's a bit of a mystery to many people. i think they are in transition. they are in transition away from, let's say, an idea liftic or hopeful mode to a kind of sober recognition that iran might not want to play at all. and, therefore, we, the united states, are going to do everytng possible to buttress our arab allies in the region and buttress israel as well, with the caveat, of course, that the obama administration would add this point much rather see israel not take military action against iran. >> mitchell has been criticized because of the penalty on settlements and others say he is on the job every day working hard. what is your take? jeffrey? >> that's to me? i think that there's a feeling in washington that mitchell hasn't succeeded at all. there's a new push, of course, right now, to b

started designing the first freebord in 1995 while doing a masters degree in product design at stanford university in california. but with a background in high finance at lehman brothers ratherthan building boards, it's fair to say his first efforts didn't quite hit the mark. >>strand: i look back on my early boards and they're just a joke to me right? but you put something out there and you start building some sales and some enthusiasm and you use that momentum to go back in and redesign and keep evolving the product till you get to something that really can become the foundationof an ongoing category. and that can take years because there's so much knowledge and revisioning that has to go on. >>reporter: so he did what my entrepreneurs have done: went to work in the garage to fine tune the product andgoing into debt. by 1999, strand had started freebord manufacturing based in a warehouse in san francisco. and it's not just the board design that changed over the years... >>kendall: the average freeborder has changed a bit over time but i think if you start with a snowboarder, 16 to 24, male, some

he is the grandson of robert kennedy, the 29-year-old is a graduate of stanford university and harvard law school. he currently works as a prosecutor in massachusetts. >>> premiums will go up and they will also go up because of the government mandates. >> it's not factually accurate. costs for families for the same type of coverage as they're currently receiving would go down 14 to 20%. >> i believe with respect you're wrong. >> there were no big breakthroughs during president obama's health care summit that played out on tv. the president ended talks by promising to move forward. so did the last ditch mting sway any lawmakers or is the partisan divide as strong as ever? chris wallace is the coast of fox news sunday he joins us with a preview of today's program. good morning. >> good morning melanie. >> after a seven hour working session i'd like to believe there would be some areas of agreement were there any? >> yeah, there were some areas of agreement, the possibility of something in terms of malpractice reform, senator co-burn who is a doctor republican suggested having undercover

steve schneider, climate scientist from stanford university.o how could i not ask a climate question which has to do with price? one of the things we expect as climate changes since we can't predict the details, only the general trends, is there could be a further increase in volatility. not just year-to-year but also in the distribution of where it's produced from especially north south. the south being more disadvantaged. one way that can you ensure against that volatility is through food reserves. we've learned that a long time ago. i wrote a book in 1976 called "the genesis strategy." remember joseph in egypt saved the green. it was violently opposed by the midwest because they thought that green reserves were going to drive down prices, yet it also provide a measure of security. so the question i have then is, how do you want to deal with the tradeoff between production incentives and having a safe set of storage and who should have the storage and what should the rules be for its release? >> good question. everybody seems to be thinking a

by far of the best source for information, however, was the hoover institute at stanford university. my personal theory is that most right wing governments leave their archives to hoover. my experience with hoover goes back to my first book, "the last romantic" a biography of queen marie of romania. this was a long time ago. alan and i were living in southern california. he was directing all the president's men. and i went up to the north to see the son of the romanian prime minister who was working at hoover at the time. at that point in my life, i'd written nothing more than book reviews and pieces on blue jeans and shopping bags. so i was amazed at the welcome welcome we got. we apologize for not giving you the first class tour but governor reagan is here today. now you know how long ago it was. here, let us show you goebles diaries. why were they treating me so well. i worked there for a week or two and got ready to leave. as i was walking out the powers that be stopped me. mrs. pakula, it's been such great pleasure having you here. do you think you could get woodward and bernste

he is chair of psychiatry at stanford university. and dr.llen frances, former chief of psychiatry at the duke university medical center. he led the last effort to revise the manual. gentlemen, thank you both for being with us. dr. schatzberg, to you first. why is this manual so important? >> well, it is useded by, as you pointed out, judy, by practitioners around the world to diagnose potential patients, people who come in for treatment with specific complaints, and to classify them as having within or another disorder. it becomes the common language that mental health practitioners use to describe patients so that we can agree on the diagnosis. very similar to cardiologists talking to an internist saying the patient has had a myocardial infraction, or what we call a heart attack. we need to have agreed upon diagnosis and criteria if we're going to be able to take care of patients. >> woodruff: it's important for doctors, obviously the patients. insurance companies? >> absolutely. because insurance companies will pay for benefits for treatme

the graduates of the stanfords, berkeleys and the university of michigans and those in the united states and those around the world as well. now, some say i believe columbia blew and they're probably right in saying that but i hope i have in the book a large enough perspective to be able to create a landscape, if you will, for the american university system. let me begin in trying to describe this big book. it's a big thick book with it being yea. and it's taken from the very beginning of the book and i'll quote it and then i'll try to introduce the other sections of the book to you. i stepped onto the stage before 150 of the nation's leading scholars and sciences to describe her biological research and discoveries. moving with controlled animation, bonnie, a stat uesque person in a black tan suit and curly black hair and a cat-like smile began describing her path-breaking work. the subject was small cell to cell communication in bacteria. over the next 20 minutes the professor eptranced this audience in the american philosophical society with stories of the molecular mechanisms that bac

but just think of what stanford university at the moment represents. it reports faculty members, students and alumni founded 24 million companies, reports this in 2008. now, this includes cisco systems, google, hp, and it generated $255 billion of total revenue among the silicon valley 150 in 2008. mit, similarly. it reports that 4,000 mit related companies employ 1.1 million people. by the way, again, there's a multiplier effect of two or three or four times that number of the suppliers and others who feed these companies. and it has these companies have an annual world sale of $232 billion, which is just a little less than the gross domestic product of south africa and of thailand and which would make mit companies among the 40 largest economies in the world. when the university of california, which i will come back to in a moment, is dismantling its university system, as we speak, it is also dismantling the necessary conditions for economic growth in the area and, in fact, the wealth of their own community. okay. so what are some of the challenges a

a great new universes were stopped at cornell, hopkins, stanford and chicago. academic goals were embraced. to criticize and augment as well as to preserve the tradition became an accepted function of higher education. this was an extraordinary departure for a system that previously aimed primarily at cultural conservation. to forces in particular hastened this shift. the first was impact of darwinism, the second was the influence of the german university. by the early 1870s darwin's theory of evolution was no longer a disputed hypothesis in the american scientific community, but determined efforts remain to exclude proponents of darwinism whenever possible. these disputes were often quite bitter. the conflict brought together like-minded teachers, scientists, scholars and philosophers who believed in evolution and to develop new standards of academic inquiry. and their view to dissent was not to obstruct, but to potentially enlighten. the great debate over darwinism would far beyond the substantive problem of whether evolution was true. it represented a profou

steve schneider, a climate scientist from stanford university. i not ask a climate question that has to do with price? since we cannot predict the details and only the general trend, there could be a further increase in volatility, not just year to year but also in the distribution of where it's produced, especially north to south, with the south being more disadvantaged. one way to ensure against that volatility is to read through food reserves. i wrote a book -- i read a book in 1976. joseph in egypt say to the grains. it was finally opposviolently oe midwest. it provides a measure of security. how do you deal with production incentives and having a safe set of storage and who should have storage and what should the rules before its release? >> good question. everybody seems to be thinking about this. would you like to answer that? >> i am trying to think of how you could think of various ways of dealing with this. we have an expert on this issue in this audience. i think we should call on him to answer. he is sitting right there. he's done a l

emanuel minot is a psychiatry professor and director of the center for narcolepsy at stanford universityctor, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> is this a virus that causes this? is that what a lot of people believe? >> we're not so sure. however, we think that some people are genetically predisposed to having an infection that then doesn't clear up and seems to relax regularly, and that gives the symptoms of sleeping all the time for ten days at a time. >> so, if it lasts ten days at a time and then the person wakes up and can function at some normal level, generally speaking, what's the time between episodes? >> that's a big problem. we never know. sometimes it can be two weeks, sometimes it can be months. occasionally, people say that's it, i've grown out of it because i haven't had an episode for a year, then it restarts. >> and even during the episodes, they do wake up for short periods of time, and what are they like during those periods of times? how do they behave? >> that's the important thing. they are not normal. they are in kind of a dream-like state, sounds are muffled

he is an economist from stanford university that is very good on this issue.if you want to follow up on that, i recommend his book on that. there are a number of other ways that the government effects these markets. the second of which is government expenditure and taxation policy. the enormous deficits that the government is running, which are tiny compared to what social security and medicare's unfounded liabilities are going to be. they are around $85 trillion in unfounded liabilities which are going to be paid for some time are else we're going to have a political meltdown because everybody that's my age or older is going to expect that these programs are going to be there and so we're all going to vote against the constriction of these plans. so you have -- somehow you need 85 trillion in unfounded liabilities. how is the government going to pay for that? it's going to borrow. when it borrows, what's going to happen? it's going to start to drive up interest rates. as it goes to drive up interest rates, what is going to happen? everybody is irritated that

been happening with interest rates and the housing mact markets and he's an economist from stanford universityvery good on this issue. so if you want to follow up on that i'd recommend john taylor's new book on that. now, but there are other -- quickly there are just a number of other ways that the government affects these markets. the second of which is government expenditure and taxation policy. the enormous deficits that the government is running, which are tiny compared to what social security and medicare's underfunded liabilities are going to be, they're around $85 trillion in underfunded liabilities in social security and medicare which are going to be paid for sometime or else we're going to have a political meltdown because everybody that's my age or older is going to expect that these programs are going to be interest and so we're all going to vote against -- we're all going to vote against the constriction of these plans so somehow you're going to have $85 trillion in unfunded liabilities. how's the government going to pay for that? it's going to borrow and when it borrows what's go

the survey was conducted by stanford university with the nonprofit robert wood johnson foundation. in the poll 59% said they thought at least half the test doctors order is unnecessary and ordered only because of fear of lawsuits, end quote. that's the end of the a.p. story. madam speaker, the "usa today" editorial board also came out in support of tort reform and "usa today" wrote, a study found that 83% of its doctors practiced defensive medicine at a cost of at least $1.4 billion a year. nationally, the cost is $60 billion-plus every year, according to the health and human services department. and that's the h.h.s. of this administration. and in a 2005 study in the journal of medical association found that 93% of pennsylvania doctors practiced defensive medicine. the liability system is too often a lottery, excessive compensation is awarded to some patients and little to none to others. as much as 60% of awards is spent on attorneys, expert witnesses and administrative costs. it results in years of delay, end quote. madam speaker, discussing the need for tort reform, the preside

safra foundation center for ethics at harvard university where he also teaches law. he was previously at stanford where he founded the center for internet and society. recently, he co-founded organization change congress. to find out why he is passionate about the issue, read his cover story in an upcoming edition of "the nation" magazine: how to get our democracy back." it's already online. welcome to you both. >> thanks. >> thank you. >> moyers: what was your response to the supreme court decision? >> i think it was a victory for free speech, in the end. and if anything, it didn't go far enough. campaign finance regulation is always a suppression of speech. and this law addresses a small aspect of it. that should help the quality and quantity and variety of political speech. >> moyers: and your response? >> i think it's an ominous sign about the future of this court and any kind of reform. because though i support free speech, and even free speech for corporations, what this means is increasingly people are going to believe their government is controlled by the funders and not by the people. an

stanford did it with mike montgomery. >> marques: last time cal won a championship miller was the athletic association of western universityrick christopher with 7 points early. these are two of the top three shoots points team. but arizona state is 0 for 5. now they're 2 for 5. >> marques: jerren shipp, a senior, did a nice job knocking down key shots. by virtue of hard work. putting in hours in the gym. >> steve: there it is. the first three they have made. it ties the game at 11. they're 1 for 6 as a team. >> marques: jerren shipp out of fairfax high school. he's in there like clockwork. he just shoots it till it feels good. it carries over into his on-court game performance. >> steve: gutierrez also in the game. a fine defensive play by jerren shipp who came out of nowhere to knock it do himself. >> marques: also ty abbott, the way he flew in that closeout to randle, got a piece of the basketball. an air ball. that's the kind of defensive intensity, focus and effort you need from jerome randle. >> steve: both these teams displaying great energy on the defensive end of the floor to to start this game. abbott misses. chr
