of solving the problem is that the current universal service system is broken. we have to simultaneously fix it as it is and transition it to support a broad band for the majority, and it is akin to changing the engine of the jet plane while it is in flight. but we are trying to figure out to do that. >> it would be what speed? >> we will be discussing it with the commissioners. i think that as we talked about at the september meeting, there are a number of use cases where people generally speaking, the market today is about three megabits. the average american needs that speed to do the kinds of things most americans do. we want to have universal mechanism produce the minimum that gets us to about where we are. high-definition video, things like that, i am not sure that is what we need, but we want to be able to do what the functions are in terms of cost, so if you move up, where do you cost a lot more money? i think it is somewhere in the order of where people are going today over the next five or 10 years. we are setting the economics, and i might not note, a

i propose a lowered university fee and those who then take the lowered university fee and attend university on that rate, pay the tax. pay a slightly higher tax on a sliding scale depending on what they earn. this would allow people who would otherwise not be able to attend university to attend it and then people who didn't attend university wouldn't -- would not need to pay the taxes. >> private school is how one person described university fees. university fee, do not worry me said one person, i'm not looking forward to a shadow of debt, said another. she described this as the curse of her generation and how she'll be unfairly shackled with debt from the word go. we have campaigned on abolishing university fees. these post-cards that were sent to our m. piece urging them to vote, these are sent from young people all other england. now is the time to be heard and it's time to hear answers. >> members of the u.k. youth parliament, showing them how it's done. that's it for now. please join us again when parliament returns on january 5, "for the record," our dairy roundup of events here at we

that's where we look to something like universal service to solve that problem. part of the problem in solving the problem is that the current universal system, service system is broken. we have to simultaneously fix it as it is and transition it to support broadband instead of supporting voice. and it's a little akin to changing the engine of the jet plane while the jet plane is in flight, but we're doing our best to try to figure out how to do that. >> host: so what would you say the minimum level of universal broadband would be? what speed would you put that at? >> guest: well, we're looking at that now, and we'll be discussing that with the commissioners. i would say, you know, as we talked about at the september meeting, there are a number of different use cases for people. generally speaking, i think kind of the market today is about three megabits, that is to say the average american uses it in the way you need a download speed of about three megabits to do the kinds of things most americans do. the use case seems to be increasing at about, i think, 25% pe

i propose a lower university fee and attend university on that rate and pay the tax.pay a slightly higher tax on a sliding scale. this would allow people that would otherwise not be able to attend university. and the people who didn't attend would not need to pay the tax. >> if someone described the fees to me, and unpractical is how other described it. i am not looking forward to the shadow of debt i will be left with. and mr. speaker, she describes this as the curse of her generation and she will be shackled to debt. we campaigned against university fees. and here is one example, these postcards that we sent to mp's, these were sent from young people all over england. and now is the time to be heard and it's time to hear answers. >> members of the u.k. youth parliament showing how it's done. that's mpÑit for now, and we wi see when parliament returns on the fifth. and until then, good-bye. >> on "washington journal" monday, greg stohr reporter for bloomberg news looks ahead on the high court cases on the docket next year. and a look at how president obama is handlin

guest: if that is true, then fascism is pretty universal. some people say that fascism is everywhere and every time somebody says something that annoys you are tells you that the rules are one way or another i think we're all living in a fascist dictatorship, if that is the case. people find other people a knowing and their roles and annoying. -- rules annoying. host: progressives and liberals are other definitions. what is the difference between a progressive and a liberal? i know guest: victor is that much difference. a progressive is somebody who sees liberalism as having two problems. first, it has gotten bad association in the american public. few people want to describe themselves as liberal. secondly, it has been associated with somebody who is always willing to accommodate the other side, who was always willing to make effort in order to come to sort of a bargain that everyone can live with. progressives see themselves as not having a ideological values which are different from liberals but as being more assertive about those values

but it is impractical to think we are probably going to solve universal service within the plan. i left about the commission these days because all of these decade-old problems whether it is universal service or intercarrier compensation are special access, they are all are walking around the fcc saying if you sell me you have solved broadband for america, and it is just these problems we have been stuck on before. my hope is we have a comprehensive look and can move forward to solve all of them but that probably won't be by the boeri 17th. i think we will have action plans shortly thereafter. hopefully this going to set out goals that we can make actionable work on throughout the next year. i think we will be very busy. 84 the federal part of broadband deployment comment you agree that with some on the condition that say the usf is outdated and love the way it is set up now? >> guest: i think there's no doubt that the universal service fund has actually achieved an awful lot before keeping america connected but in the change marketplace it is time to reevaluate the universal ser

there is a wide bipartisan group that has sought reform in the universal service fund for quite somet of the program that needs reform is that, as you said, is targeted at the kind of communication service that we had when we were growing up, ordinary telephones. what we need to do is reorient the universal service fund to support the next generation of communication services. that is something that is widely recognized as desirable. there are a lot of hard questions in theory at how we get from here to there. -- in figuring out how we get from here to there. it will take awhile to devise a way to inform universal service and implement it, but there is widespread agreement that we need to reorient the universal service fund to broadband for the 21st century. >> i think that reorienting the fund to broadbent is a fundamentally correct thing. our focus would be to direct those funds to unserved areas, where people do not currently have broadband, and we actually are and wectia and our partner companies to find out if there is a way we can attract those areas with creative wireless appr

what do we know about the other universes? that if they exist they have laws totally different than our universe. >> it's important to remember that -- it's important to remember that before we say something is out of this world that we first haven't got a worldly explanation. you said earlier deepak, that i can't explain everything naturally. that doesn't mean there's a supernatural force. we explain everything. the fact that you called consciousness the hard problem. right. we don't have a theory of consciousness doesn't mean that altered states of consciousness are something woo-woo or supernatural. >> i don't believe in anything supernatural. when did we use the word "supernatural"? >> it's like asking a caterpillar is there life after being a caterpillar. the caterpillar might say, no way, i can't conceive of what it's looking to a butterfly, but that's part of the natural order. >> there are traditions that say that the in-body experience is a socially induced collective hallucination. we do not exist in the body. the bo

it is universal. it is universal and it is common. let me begin across time. when we submitted the manuscript to princeton university press for review, peter who we think added knowledge we were lucky enough to get him the excellent device, he sent me a copy of an advertisement for standard statistics that said we don't have to invest in the bubble anymore we're not the unsophisticated mass of the south's the bubble of the early 1800's we have statistical analysis was was an advertisement based from new york and this advertisement it appeared in the saturday evening post september 1929. weeks before the crash. you can see where i am going, i hope with the this time is different syndrome. a very important example of the this time is different syndrome. the year was 1995. how many of you remember mexico peso crisis 1994? mexico almost approached defaults and then what was a large bailout package was put together from the imf and the u.s. and other of the g-7 the economy is. mexico after all was in latin america so latin america historically has had a history of

and i think that you shouldn't talk about university people in that way. i think that we should be honored and pleased that the process that we had to go through, i am from south america, but i went to medical school there. but in those days here, jews couldn't go because there were quotas. and let me tell you something else. in the last few days, i met with a very good friend who is a professor at the nazarene university, and he was saying, he is from israel, said he thought in the 1967 war but he didn't find for the policies that government of israel is applied to the west bank. [applause] >> you know, if you read certain sociologists who share your admiration for the universities, and my fellow intellectuals, you will find that one of the things they say is that when young people come to college, they have their assumptions and the ones they brought from home, shaken up, and they learn to look at it critically. and this is often applied to both jewish professors and jewish students. but the plain truth of the matter is that most jewish kids nowadays com

the ones that are really great are universal. you do not have to be a political junkie to get something out of the book. you will read this book from beginning to end even if you are not interested in politics. there are so many things there early on. when ted kennedy was talking about writing this book, he said one model he had is katherine graham's book, personal history. because she was a candid. brown the time that book came out, i was in chicago and our ran into a woman who was about 22 years old. she came up to me and said he lived in washington, don't you? she said, do you know katherine graham? she looked at me as if she was seeing -- that book was able to speak to someone of a total different experience who was not a billionaire who would inherit a newspaper. the book does a couple of things that really stand out, how did you motivate children. i asked how his father was able to motivate his kids to do so much in life. he told me a little bit about that, which is captured in the book. his father came to him at a crucial

it's going to take a while to devise a way to reform universal service and to implement it, but there's wide spread agreement that we need to reorient the universal service fund to broadband for our communications infrastructure in the 21st century. >> host: mr. de la vega. >> guest: yes. i think that reorienting the fund to broadband is the fundamentally correct thing. i think our focus would be to direct those funds to unserved areas, areas where people don't currently have broadband, and we actually are working with ctia and our partner companies to figure out if there's a way that we can attack those areas not just on a wire line basis, but with creative wireless approaches so we can make sure that every american can have access to broadband one way or the other. >> host: would you see that as an additional tax at all? >> guest: i don't view that as an additional tax, no. >> host: paul kirby. >> host: on the legislative front, congress has talked about and congress boucher's expected to introduce a national framework bill that would say, that would regulate wireless services at the

and the idea that google had in the first place was to make every single book in the world universeally accessible. and they wanted to do that by scanning every book that exists in the world. it's a very ambitious project. they really wanted to create the world's biggest online library, and what i mean by library is online you don't have to actually go some place. it would reside on the web. so it was a very ambitious project, and they started scanning books, and then they realized they ran into a bunch of legal issues, copyright and antitrust. >> host: what was google's original motive? >> guest: it's really along the lines of their whole mission which is for users of the internet to access any information they want, video, books, music now, now music, maps, anything that -- any information that travels over the web. and the project was nothing but very, very ambitious. it was, again, to create, to scan every single book in the world. and i think some people estimate there may be 60 million books in the world residing in different libraries, and i think that's around the number the lib

at the university of nebraska.as i have said many times, a common theme, you will always have a location designated for these projects. that's why some of them may be worthwhile, but we'll never know because they don't compete them. they always earmark them for the particular place that they want to help. unfortunately, that shuts out other people. there may be other places besides the university of nebraska that can support surgical operations in outer space. i -- i suggest bones and get dr. spock here and bones and get them out there and help them at the university. i don't know if they live in omaha or not, but i'm sure that to them and all the others on "star trek" that surgical operations in outer space may be one of their priorities. it certainly isn't a priority of the citizens of my state. now, one of the great cultural events that took place in the 20th century was the woodstock festival, so in order to really do a lot more research on that great cultural moment, we're going to spend $30,000 for the woodst

insurance, universal care. so americans have to make a difficult choice. if someone happens to be walking on the ice tonight and doesn't have health insurance and falls and hurts herself, she has to make a decision whether her arm or leg hurts badly enough to go see a doctor or perhaps to have an x-ray to see whether a bone has been broken because they don't really have the money in order to pay for that type of care. many people go without checkups because they can't afford the cost of seeing a doctor today. they don't have insurance or their insurance doesn't cover what they need. many people today who are on medications have to decide whether they can split their pills in order to make their dollars last a little bit longer because they literally are choosing between taking their medicines or having food on the table, in the united states of america in 2009, the wealthiest nation if the world. well, we have a chap -- the wealthiest nation in the world. well, we have a chance to change that. you can argue thi

universal agreements ask people to do one of two things.either they ask them not to change their behavior, in which case they're perfectly happy to sign and comply because it doesn't ask them to do anything. or it asks them to fundamentally change their behavior, and then lacked teeth. it either has no monitoring mechanism to detect cheating, or if it has a market mechanism and has no way to enforce punishment. so as we think ahead, to copenhagen, let me reflect back on kyoto. 175 countries signed kyoto. the united states did not, the 175 did. now people were ecstatic about such a broad-based agreement. really for the first time we were going to take charge of global warming. unfortunately, they didn't read the fine print. so of the 175 signatories to kyoto, 137 have to do nothing, except report on what they have done. we are proud to report this year we have done nothing. we are in full compliance with the kyoto protocol. as we promised, we have reported. 137 out of 175 had to do nothing. the host country came forward, we deeply regret we

and great research universities. like temple, drexell and the university of pennsylvania. but just a few blocks away, the neighborhood surrounding tell a different story. vacant, derelict homes dot the landscape. much of the city is filled with abandoned manufacturing plants. 22 percent of a durlts are functionally illiterate, not surprising giving a 50% high school dropout rate. and these neighborhoods are not unique. a full quarter of philadelphia's residents live in poverty. >> people can come in and use the computers in order to write resumes. >> suarez: and it's only gotten worse since the recession says a labor advocate who sits on the board of the city's job banks. >> you are told you have to be retooled and reskilled to enter the job force. that is a big delima so not only do we have young african-american males out of age but we have middle-aged people out of work. >> suarez: the city shed 80,000 jobs since last fall. unemployment is at 11% and in some fields like the construction trades, the rate is closer to 50%. let's be clear. philadelphia's problems didn't be

i am a george washington university. i was interested in what he said and i worked-- wonder what role the tendency would play? >> yes, it is a rather vigorous expression right now. i don't know it is particularly dominant but it is certainly a form of cultural critique, and let stoker take that appeals to many younger conservatives, especially those who have some religious and theistic inclination. it can be kind of colorful. rod dreier who wrote the book on the phenomenon is a writer a talent, and his written quite vividly about some of these concerns and i have noticed that among conservatives and so forth as some of these concerns expressed in the movement are mainstream. what is probably not mainstream is the, the call that he has sort of made to conservatives to withdraw from the larger culture and set up their own alternative culture. that strikes me as unrealistic and overly idealistic, but certain issues that they care about in terms of lifestyle are ones that resonates some and it is not-- i don't know whether i

stanford university, 7,233, and they're still trying to find some seats.he history goes back to 1989, and tennessee has the upper hand including 13 of the last 14. tennessee also won last year's meeting in knoxville, but that one went overtime, 79-69. overtime seems to be a theme. two years ago here at maples pavilion, these two clubs went overtime again. stanford won that time. 73-69. the series dates back to 1989, the very first meeting, stanford won by 14. afterwards pat summitt after losing addressed the stanford booster club because tara vanderveer asked her to, and that's who pat summitt is. she lives up to her word. standing room only. two undefeated teams. jayne appel, pac-10 player of the year, leads number two, stanford, against kelley cain, glory johnson, pat summitt, undefeated, number three, tennessee, and here we go. tennessee quiets the crowd by winning the tip. >> mary: it will be interesting to see if they try to get jayne appel into early foul trouble. >> lisa: right now you see their bodies are matched up together, banging against each o

large swatches of american culture life, notably the universities, major media and the entertainment industry, continued to move in directions. for defenders of judeo christian ethics, and that means most conservatives, there is still a potent enemy on the left. this awareness of a revived external challenge on the left is integral to the prospects for american conservatism in the years just ahead. the most hopeful for conservatives paradoxically may be the very audacity and even hubris of their ideological posted as the obama administration had urged, talk of a conservative crack up has all but disappeared him at least on the right. more quickly, and effectively, that many observers thought possible, president obama's initiatives have galvanized his intellectual and political opponents into fervent resistance. a spirit of insurgency has quickly returned conservative ranks. the language of liberty, don't tread on me, has acquired new resonance on the right and beyond. just as sarah palin scanty in 22008 reinvigorated millions of the spotted grassroots conservatives, the reality of li

there are targets for a universal vaccine.it is universal because it doesn't change from a virus to virus. if it shifted seasonal or pandemic the most important target of the protein, this is an example, you will see some beautiful slides of the protein sitting on top of the cell that as a component of it exists as a stem. it is a component that doesn't much change from virus to virus. if we can get this in an immunogenic form which is not easy which is why i say it is not just around the corner, you have the first step toward a universal vaccine. there is a lot of work going on in that. i will close with this last slide. even though this has been prompted by the need to respond better to threats like pandemic influenza, it should have been clear that everything i am talking about that you hear from my colleagues relates not only from pandemic influenza but something that is highly predictable, seasonal flu. if we get the platform advances that we hope to get from the research that is going on now we will have solved a problem

professor powe is a graduate of yale university and university of washington school of law and he was clerk to justice william brennan of the united states supreme court in the 1970 to 71 term. his newest work surveys more than 200 leaders of american constitutional law. to support his thesis that the supreme court overarching role in constitutional interpretation has been "to harmonize the constitution with the demands of majority politics." while this book is intended for the labor leader, his fresh insights and opinions make the book a week for even the most serious scholar of american legal history. powe remises for example that his verdict on many landmark opinions has often been different than the initial public response. for example, after the disastrous dred scott opinion in 1857 voters did not punish the democratic party for their support of the result. andy democrats gained votes in the ensuing election in every state, both north and south. in the 1905 decision in lochner versus new york which is universally reviled today as they example of judicial arrogance. failed to garn

university of virginia where he got his undergraduate degree. he was former director of the nih national human genome research institute. you were home schooled up until the sixth grade. earlier this year, you founded in institute for religion and science. >> a foundation. >> is there a concern that your named the director of nih when you are an evangelical christian? >> there are concerns that perhaps is scientists who also happens to have talked openly about his religious faith but somehow not be as hard-nosed at making decisions about scientific projects as he should be. anybody who worked with me at the human genome project would have stood up and said that this is not an issue. no one can say that my own particular interest in spiritual matters ever gone the way of signs. i do not want to be distracted in any way from what the president has asked me to do. >> we have time for one more round of questions. >> can you say a little bit about the flap could you got about a that? why should the suns community care whether you are a boost toward h

michael man is a climatology at penn state university. he's one of the leading scientists in the ipcc. he is the author of the original hockey stick theory that is kind of the genesis, the seminal document for the theory that mankind, this manmade co-2 is the cause of the climate warming in the world. this is a document from him to phil jones who is until recently the head of the climate research unit at east anglia university in great britain. dr. jones has resigned in the last week or so. but it says, you can delete any emails that you've had with keith? keith is keith briffa regarding ar-4, the u.n. ipcc document from 2007, it's one of these policy documents that's used around the world, and you can see that he says, i'm going to contact gene about this, ok, gene is actually yew gene wahl, he's at the national ocean and atmospheric administration's office in boulder, colorado, that's with the u.s. department of commerce. so i'm going to contact gene about this. you can delete any emails that you have? i'll get casper to do likewise. ca

sam is at the university of colorado.ie is gorgeous and wonderful and she wants to be a chef. host: were you a busybody mom when the kids were growing up? guest: it was difficult. i will say that danny was trying to describe his mother to a friend, and he said, to give you an idea, our favorite tv station is c-span. host: also appearedwesome. jeff and berkeley, california. caller: i am trying to be concise, but my son's experience is with nominally episcopal, private schools. it is hard to get in. expensive. the issue there is there were no religious or political filters hampering the teachers. i don't know what demands there were put under, but they were pretty much open to teach without any criticism. the only thing that parents were interested in it is, what college can you get my kid into? but you mentioned freda callo. in to pick them apart, she was married to diego rivera, who was a communist. he came to the detroit area and somehow got money from the ford family, but his murals were not always accepted because of t

the ones that are really great are universal.you do not have to be a political junkie to get something out of the book. you will read this book from beginning to end even if you are not interested in politics. there are so many things there thaearly on. when ted kennedy was talking about writing this book, he said one model he had is katherine graham's book, personal history. because she was a candid. brown the time that book came out, i was in chicago and our ran into a woman who was about 22 years old. she came up to me and said he lived in washington, don't you? she said, do you know katherine graham? she looked at me as if she was seeing -- that book was able to speak to someone of a total different experience who was not a billionaire who would inherit a newspaper. the book does a couple of things that really stand out, how did you motivate children. i asked how his father was able to motivate his kids to do so much in life. he told me a little bit about that, which is captured in the book. his father came to him at a crucia

in the market, and that applies to the study done by the columbia telecom think tank at columbia university. and what they are pointed out, and it is a big task, there will be two major investments involved in the networks over the next few years. one is to appeal seconds ago, cable company upgrades. the second is large phone companies upgrading the wireless networks to provide broad band of wireless. we know those things are going to happen. that is a profound change, probably the biggest change in the last five years. what we do not know is, number one, how consumers respond. we pointed out in september, they are suddenly saying, hey, we released but the speed and we are going to move up to higher levels. cable is going to be a fabulous position. and then we will be the only provider of the generally expected broadbent. -- broadband. but it is just as possible that they will say we do not need higher speeds. we want mobility. so just will buy the slightly more expensive wireless level, but we are not that interested in the fix because we only need for megabits or five megabits. we do not

>> i would add in addition to the universal access that dr. brawley mentioned, also the limitations on preexisting conditions and out of pocket costs are currently a huge burden for breast cancer patients. and one of the main items that our advocacy community throughout the country asks that we follow very closely in health care reform, and those protections are included in h.r. 3962. >> dr. sweet? think you've. >> absolutely. this bill will help the health of american women with and without breast cancer. there are a number of women who'd managed to get diagnosed and then have no access to reasonable care, as dr. brawley said. the number of women, even in my own practice, that are locked into jobs that they would rather not stay in, they can't move because of lack of health insured ability. they know that if they leave their job and leave that health insurance when they try to get the next one they will be uninsurable. and i think the fact that this bill addresses getting rid of preexisting conditions and guaranteeing health insurance to all

they are on the faculty of the barbara jordan-mickey leland school of public affairs at texas university. mr. robertson was named in 2000 to the list of 100 to watch. i ask consent that their entire letter, which is dated october october 25, 2009, be placed in the record following my remarks. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. hatch: let me share here just an excerpt from these two people, and this is -- or from from -- an excerpt by dr. michael adams, ph.d., and carroll g. robinson, esquire, and barbara jordan from the mickey leland school of public affairs, texas southern university. "our reading of the constitution and supreme court precedent could not identify any reasonable basis, expressed or implied, for granting congress the broad, sweeping and unprecedented power that is represented by the individual mandate requirement. in fact, we could not find any court decision, state or federal, that said or implied that the constitution gave congress the power to mandate citizens to buy a particular good or service or be subject to a financial penalty levied by the government f
