at stanford university, dr. david spiegel studied a group of women with metastatic breast cancer. they were divided into two groups. one group received medical care plus a year of weekly supportive group therapy with self-hypnosis for pain. the control group received standard medical care only. the general finding was that patients who received group therapy survived an average of 36 1/2 months from the onset of intervention. the control group-- an average of almost 19 months. the treatment group lived twice as long. that's a remarkable finding. i'm delighted that--that-- that this finding is here. i'd like to see it replicated. i'd like to make sure that it's firm. if it is replicated, psychologists have an awful lot of work to do to discover what the critical ingredient is in the psychotherapeutic intervention that prevents the relapse. it may very well be that the psychotherapeutic intervention is a sufficient stress reducer so that the immune system functions more effectively than it would under chronic stress. while experts agree that further research is necessary, kathleen m

raised by single mom, they went on together to stanford university, harvard law school. 26, castroe age of became the youngest elected councilman in san antonio's history. he was elected mayor in 2009, elected to a third term this year. he is the youngest mayor of a top 50 american city. there is much to admire about julian castro. what has caught my eye are two things. one is the phrase he used in his speech in charlotte last summer. issaid, the american dream not a sprint or marathon. it is a really. -- relay. each generation building up and passing on that opportunity to the next. the second is what he has just done recently as the mayor. i have been trying for almost 20 years to get something done for early childhood education in america. it -- in january, barack obama's state of the union, he committed us to a huge program. a good, solid preschool program. we have not gotten that yet. the mayor of san antonio decided not to wait. he got the business community together. they passed a sales tax measure that is going to go for august,l, and justin the first of san antonio's children a

last year we told you about some stanford university research into highway congestion and we learned that it doesn't take much traffic to create traffic. >> most systems work fine 85, 90% loading. it's the last 10% that makes the problem severe. >> reporter: let's apply that logic to the bay bridge. according to caltrans on the average workday, traffic over the entire span is up about 2% from last year. 2%! so can that explain the backups? >> aggregate numbers like 2% higher daily counts over the course of a day aren't going to tell us what's important here. >> reporter: uc-berkeley traffic jermichael cassidy says it's not about counting cars. it's about how quickly the cars get over and off the bridge something called discharge flow, according to the traffic engineer. >> if we want to figure out why we have to look for points along the bridge upstream, middle, downstream, where there's a restriction, where queues are forming, where congestion is forming. >> reporter: maybe that's all the construction in downtown san francisco. maybe it's those 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. lane closures on the l

and john taylor at stanford university institute when he wrote about it this week opened my eyes. you know, i don't know what i would tell a young person today, except i would say you need to be a person of the world, a lot of math and science, and you also have to be willing to take risk. peel are getting more and more risk averse because they have the government to fall back on. >> they don't need to take it. >> that's very true. >> craig, the -- the occupy wall street remember the one% and they hated the one percenters. look at what's going on under president obama. >> truly is the best friend of the one percenter. it's not just the rich that got richer. it's the government that got richer thanks to the rich the government has collected i guess more taxes in history, they're greedier than kimberly at a shoe store. i mean it is nuts. nobody oh, my grod the rich got richer but the government is swelling and getting larger. and by the way i don't think it's going to get any better because we can still sink lower as long as president obama rejects keystone and demonizes fracking ou
