the technology that we can now apply in clinical studies for measuring carrier status for various inherited diseases, cancer and so forth, this is really playing now quite amazingly in the marketplace and in research labs all of the world. host: our first call is from james, clifton springs, republican line. go ahead. caller: i had an mri on my brain for supposedly dementia. and i almost got a kick out of it because i do not have dementia at all. i also give you credit for working with ted kennedy's issue of the brain, which can be wonderful. the other issues that, through time, we have become involved with improving and hoping, like you said, the cost. the other issue that stands real tall is the equipment that we use where people, dementia or alzheimer's -- i know that alzheimer's is mainly for cpa, bookkeeping, a very close friend of mine has alzheimer's one. and some people make a lot on one of them. i think that needs to be stopped. guest: i think you raise a number of important questions, white how will we get diagnostics -- like how will we get diagnostics. and a lot of that is alrea

does the space exploration, american space exploration still excite children to study science, math, engineering and technology? >> it sure does. we had a presentation at rensselear, at one of our alumni weekends, of the landing of the mars rover. that's pause our dean of science -- that's because our dean of science had two experiments on the rover and was there the day the latest rover landed. we also had some of the engineers in who were involved with the design and development of the latest rover. and frankly, the space, we had a concert hall that holds about 1,200 people and half the people were young people and they were so excited. so absolutely. but i think it relates to mr. templeton's point, a big idea, something we galvanize around, rally around, is what captures people's imagination. >> thank you. i'm going to speak out of both sides of my mouth, first by saying, this generation has its own great challenges that it needs to be and is excited about, sustapeability and energy security and resilience, provision of health care. it's got big challenges of its own that are even more important than the sp

and reduce gdp growth, depending upon your study, 330 billion, it says a study that was just completed by information technologynovation foundation. these figures are a little bit apart, depending upon the study, but they all our massive moreover, the same report i mentioned talks about 200 fewer jobs in just a four year period. again, the study figures can very some but they're all pretty dramatic. in short, is penny wise and pound foolish to make these cuts of r&d that yield far more than what they cost. even if we don't invest enough in invest enough in research, some other country will. china, for example, is not the only example, is rapidly -- china's gdp of course is smaller than united states, but its economy is growing much faster. and by some calculations, their total exports imports are roughly equal to what ours are today. unless we act, we can expect that china's increasing research funding and the funding of others will mean that the relative competitiveness of the u.s. will weaken probably in ways that go to our historical core strengths. sequestration is unnecessary, and it's unavoidable. we abso

study issue those. >> i'll not depend upon one industry to solve all of our plummet tech growth is very visible and dominate right now and as i stated earlier, 1800 technology companies employ 42,000 people is huge but having said that there are other industry that is just as important to pay attention to our healthcare industry by-the-way, scene .7 billion industry today employees 400,000 people and it continues to glow and that is why to get the campus to be built at ucsc. general hospital, st. lukes mission bay, they are building and they will be finished in probably a year and-a-half and a couple of years and these are incredible anchors to the healthcare industry along with the what regents and others are doing in the pharmaceutical research and design areas and we are going in the healthcare pharmaceutical health design area very rapidly and the tourism these incredible international events that we host whether it's blue grass or america's cup or world series we are going to continue to try to get those huge hereto and the super bowl that is a bay area play poshly with the capping olympic and is the world soccer can possible be here as well and i'm tr

study global economic troubles are being made of the g. twenty gathering of financial heads right here in moscow. heavily on their minds. after the break. with. technology innovation. developments around russia. the future. thank you joining us here on. live in moscow and i'm accused the group is threatening a major rally and today against what it sees as a massive expansion of c.c.t.v. cameras across germany and the movement's opposition against the ever encroaching big brother from words to action a long time ago with a becoming notorious for trashing street cameras all across the country. look at whether the group's message makes them any different from ordinary vandals. if you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you whilst walking through the streets of the german capital that may be more to it than paranoia. the amount of sensitivity civilians in germany is on the rise and it's not as bad as in other countries for example in the u.k. very millions of cameras installed but still the number is rising and that's worrying us. that increase has seen some villages take quite drastic action and fight back against what they see as the invasion of

and attempts to study the shaky global economy being made into g twenty finance heads right here in moscow we report on the cracks within their ranks. after the. technology innovation. developments around russia. the future. sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then. you hear or see some other part of it and realized. welcome to the big picture. is. why news live from moscow with me will research. there's a new big game against big brother being played all across in germany where activists are teaming up to destroy as many surveillance cameras as possible the players claim their message is serious and that they're protecting their privacy threatening a major protest today. for their actions of volatile perhaps just another form of general vandalism. if you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you whilst walking through the streets of the german capital there may be more to it than paranoia. the amount of sensitivity civilians in germany is on the rise and snot as bad as in other countries for example in the u.k. very millions of cameras installed but still the number is rising and that's worrying us. that inc
