. >> hello, i am at the university of southern california and that being the subject i would like to ask our experts with this divide between the two major terrorism situations, what should we be looking for. because it seems to me that we have two competing blocs and there would be less of a nuclear threat directed towards us and it may be more of a reason to look towards nuclear terrorism in the middle east. so i would like to know what you have to say. >> okay, actually with chemical weapons in syria, obviously that is everyone's nightmare, a nuclear terrorist attack. but i don't have any basis for making that sort of assessment. i'm sorry about that. it's something that we all worry about, but i just don't have that. when it comes to chemical weapons it was al qaeda in iraq they did use chemical weapons, chlorine bombs. but against ordinary muslims. so scores of people were seriously injured probably for life and a few people were actually killed in those attacks. so to me that suggests that the current incarnation of isis would be far more likely to use chemical weapons than any

the last question. university of southern california. ou mentioned that since bin laden was killed the fragmentation of the jihadist world has been isolated and that you mentioned we cannot tell which scenario is going to play out when. my question is, because the fragmentation has escalated, how do we respond, and is that response going to be less and less viable as that fragmentation escalates? >> watch everything, listen to what they say, and act very rarely, but whatever you choose to do, be very decisive about it. in 2006, we used to run what was that national limitation model for counterterrorism, and we did hundreds of tasks very poorly and lightly across an enormous bureaucracy. it was a disaster. i remember going to meetings and it would be like a department of education, everybody wanted to qaedaomething with an al dude. that is how convoluted our strategy was. we were trying to do everything and solve all the world's problems. in my opinion, with the decentralization, we need to do one thing which is five-part for intelligence

the most we have ever seen. scores of of what we saw going into iraq. gentleman right here. >> i am an undergrad at the university of southern california, and me and my comradesare in a class with a professor now studying nuclear nonproliferation. that being the subject of our class, i would like to ask our experts, with this divide between the two major camps of jihadist terrorists these days, what prospects of nuclear terrorism against the united states, what should be looking for? --seems if we have the scope it seems if we have two competing groups of jihadists there would be less of a nuclear threat directed towards us, and maybe more of a reason to look toward nuclear terrorism in the middle east itself. i would just like to know what you guys think about that. >> let me twist that a little and ask what the threat from chemical weapons would be, especially in syria. >> obviously that is everybody's nightmare, nuclear terrorist attack. i do not have any basis for making that sort of assessment. i am sorry about that. something we all worry about. i do not have any way of assessing it. but when it comes to chemical weapons, we do, because it was al qaeda

according to a new study from the university of southern california there's strong evidence that, quoteter i.d. laws. to arrive at this conclusion researchers sent e-mails to over 1800 state legislators in 1400 states. in order to measure racial bias the researchers e-mailed the legislators using two different names and in some the sender was jacob smith. in others, the sender was santiago rodriguez. so the senders were different but the next of the message itself was the same. jacob smith or santiago rodriguez was writing to tell his representative he kinlt have a driver's license and jacob smith or santiago rodriguez wanted to know if he could still vote in. the researchers found that legislators that supported voter i.d. laws were much likely to respond to jacob smith than to santiago rodriguez. most crucially as "the washington post" points out, in each state in the study, legislators could have simply responded with a "yes" driver's licenses were not required in any of the states in order to vote. but they didn't respond with a simple "yes." they responded differently depending on

fellow here in the society of humanities, and on behalf of the society of fell los -- fellows it is my great pleasure to introduce professor jacob soll from the university of southern california. among the most innovative and ambitious scholars in the field of intellectual history, professor soll's work has shown that to understand the history of thought, we must understand the practical history of thinking, of the many mundane and often overlooked activities that go into making, storing and transmitting ideas. professor soll received his ph.d. in 1998 and subsequently taught at princeton before his current position at usc. his work has been honored by the american philosophical society, the national endowment for the humanities, the guggenheim and most recently the macarthur foundation who awarded a genius front in 2012. he's the author of numerous articles, reviews and editorials including a wonderful new york times op-ed in 2009 titled "avoidance by the numbers" as well as now three books, each of which has recovered in its own way the formative role with a different kind of inte lek call racks in the shaping of governance. so in his first book, soll looked at editing and

research here at the university of southern california's mixed reality lab is focused on turning virtual right now with the technology? >> virtual reality is about to take off in a way that i don't think anybody can fully comprehend. >> the origins date back 30 years but people struggle with head sets that left them feeling nauseous. now stronger motion sensors and better displays are changing that and the future. >> the way people collaborate and communicate is going to shift where physical presence is going to shift. >> as easy as putting ontown goggles. >> you put on the goggles and now you have basically all the of humanity and the internet at your disposal. >> he's posted the designs online for free. that helped a little known startup company develop its own virtual reality headset. their latest prototype caught the attention of facebook ceo mark zuckerberg so much so he decided to buy the company. >> when you have a power house like facebook offering to pay $2 billion, what does that tell you? >> it tells me they see the few tu really accurately. >> all eyes were on oculus but pete

david agus leads the westside cancer center at the university of southern california. is 3d mammography? >> well, a normal mammogram takes two pictures, like this and like this. 3d mammogram goes across the breast and every millimeter taking a picture and then building it up into a 3d reconstruction so you can see much higher resolution. >> why is it better? >> well, you can see better, and so when you look at a normal 2d mammogram you can start to see small little dots that could be cancer, but when you look every millimeter you see a lot more. in this study they found 41% more invasive cancers and 15% of the women who were usually called to come back didn't have to come back. at 38 million mammograms a year in the united states, that's over 5 million people not having to come back for a repeat imaging of their breast. >> let me ask you, doctor, do the risks outweigh the benefits? in other words, it's much more expensive and there is additional radiation. >> well, it's slightly more expensive, and so many centers are charging a premium, but a lot are charging a premiu

do it very well. >> unfortunately this has to be the last question of the woman at the front table. >> kara foster, from university of southern california. you mentioned that sense of when bin laden was killed, the fragmentation of the jihadist world has escalated and that you mentioned we can't really tell which scenario is going to play out when but my question is, because the fragmentation has escalated, how do we respond and is that response going to be less and less viable as that fragmentation escalates? >> watch everything, listen to what they say and act very rarely but what, whatever you choose to do, be very decisive about. so in 2006, we used to run what was like the national implementation model for, nims, whatever, for counterterrorism and we did hundreds of tasks very poorly and lightly across a enormous bureaucracy. it was a disaster. i remember going to meetings. it would be the department of education. everybody who wanted to button something would float an al qaeda dude. we used to joke if we could capture an al qaeda guy and smuggle him across the mexican border we could fight drugs. that is how convoluted our strateg
