and other universities. this young man makes a decision but he doesn't make any kind of decision. he is a national audience because he comes to the high school gym and they have a press conference. he is announcing over national tv, the 17-year-old high school student says, i'm going to go to north carolina and the north carolina team stops the practice and they have cameras over there. coach williams welcomes him to the rest of the team and gathers around. and so it is a big deal. here's one more measure and this one has dollar signs. there has been some talk about the high pay for coaches. north carolina state by the way, 331,000 is the annual pay for an assistant football coach. and the head football coach makes on the order of 1.9 or so million. altogether it is $3 million. there has been a lot of talk about this but everything has been going up. ceo salaries have been going up. professor salary so i said let's look at three kinds of employees at universities, full professors, president or chancellor's a

totally unsubsidized by the university. we did not expect that they would refuse female students this critical medical care. and we did not expect that women would be told in the national media that if they want comprehensive insurance that met our needs, not just the male students, we should have gone to school elsewhere. even if that meant a sacrifice to our education. and we didn't expect to hear claims of religious sanctity and they provide insurance that provides contraception to faculty and staff and denies it only to its students. and we didn't expect to be told this is an affront to religious liberty when 77% of catholic law schools already provide contraception coverage to their students. we didn't expect that the voices of conservative wealthy male donors would be more important to our universities than our voices, the voices of students in need. that wasn't what any of us expected but that's what we got. now, what we expect is that the law of our country will protect vulnerable students. we expect the obama admin

consider the universe of a video game. on the surface, it looks like a two-dimensional square section of the standard euclidean plane that we learned about in high school. but something interesting happens when our little ship jets away to avoid a collision. what just happened? did the ship leap into hyperspace? did it fall off the edge of its universe? are the programmers just messing with our perceptions, trying to make the game more difficult? or is there something else going on? well, something else is going on. in reality, the ship is simply traveling around its universe, going on a perfectly continuous round trip, blasting asteroids to do it safely. for us, viewing the game on a video screen, the asteroids spaceship appears to live on the surface of a two-dimensional plane. but actually, it could be "living" in other places, like the surface of a cylinder or even more exotic surfaces. that's where topology comes in, a branch of mathematics concerned with the study of spatial relationships that don't depend on measure

>> well, the university is concerned about its future. here's a table of the leading universities. it assisted criteria such as citations, student/teacher ratio and diversity of student population. in 2004, the university of tokyo was ranked 12th. but last year it dropped to 25th. with tough international competition, schools are working harder to recruit with talented students. >> we would like to use this office to further increase collaboration between japanese and indian academia as well as academia business cooperation. >> do you think the university will be able to increase enrollment as it hopes? >> it won't be easy. there's a lot of competition for good students from asia. singapore is one major competitor that's been doing well despite the natural resources, the country took inspiration from its founding father who decried universities to be its biggest asset. in singapore, you can get by by speaking either english and chinese, and it can be attractive for students. therefore, no surprise that yale of the united states plans on approaching singapore next year. that's going

they both went to public universities. the whole idea of public university was that it was going to be affordable to middle class families and that grant aid would help the working class for the cost of college. >> and taxpayers would pay for public universities as an investment in the future of our nation and our states in order to properly educate the young people so they can lead our country forward. is that not the principle? >> that's indeed the principle. in one generation, it's been wiped out. >> i would point to this is part of the bigger, sort of 30-year assault on public goods and the role of government in society. and we have basically taken public investment for our state colleges and traded it for tax cuts. and we have to realize that we have to invest in our public good. the economy needs college graduates. our democracy needs college graduates. our system is a complete failure. >> how much do you two feel -- i talk about people having restricted options, but how much do you feel your options in terms of pick

catholic university students for choice, a group unrecognized by my university. we're here today speaking out for the millions of students across the country who applaud the obama administration pose a regulation and demand our right regulationration's and demand our right to individual freedoms by a demanding personal choice in medication. we believe that the need for comprehensive women's health care must take priority to the catholic bishops. as a student who does not practice catholicism, i chose to enroll at catholic university because it provides a world- class education, a top-notch faculty and is in a city full of opportunities. catholic university prides itself on welcoming students of all faiths, and all we are asking for is for this value to be upheld in the health care the university provides for its students and staff. we are not here to ask the catholic bishops to support a woman's decision to use contraceptives. we're only asking the catholic bishops to let them exercise their individual religious freedoms and make their own decisions in regards to

that's what you need your research universities to do. we have four research universities, and in the last eight years they have begun more and more and more to go on past research and development and application to commercialization. and ge is a great beneficiary of that as well i'm proud to say is a great benefactor because they help invest in our polymer institute which allows us to focus state efforts on advanced manufacturing with advanced materials. the composites that are used to make the fan blades and assemblies for the genx engine are just an example of that. we focus not exclusively by any stretch, but we focus on three clusters for our manufacturing side, aerospace, automotive and energy. we are an all-of-the-above energy state. today southern company has a coal-fired generation facility under construction in mississippi, $2.5 billion, that will burn indigenous lignite coal. lignite is a low-grade, rank coal that when i was growing up people had lignite on their land thought it was a nuisance because you couldn't farm it where

of the first light into this dark universe in the coming let's say five to ten years i hope that we find the nature of this dark matter this would be a fantastic breaks coming from four percent to nearly thirty percent of our understanding this would be fantastic well in front of well you mention this dark matter there's also you know you working on the dark matter working on the dark energy there's also this thing well but does the dealing with the dark matter dark energy does it or may it present any danger for our planet for humanity no no definitely definitely not because how do you know you're doing how do you know that that it's a no if you don't know what you're dealing with. we know that the universe is stealing since billions of years will start matter and was dark energy and what we're doing is nothing else then imitating so to speak what the universe does since billions of years was much higher energy which met with many more effects collisions and we both still talk to each other we still exist so i see no danger well last year the researches registers the speed of three

they're not universal. but certainly they remain cultural communities, that are dependant upon region and dependant upon ethnicity. there's contingencies there. there's diversity in the cultures of black america, but they do still exist. there's still black institutions that are in place, and functioning. the number of black people attending church may be lower. but it is not the case that they don't still exist, right? >> i think it's really important for us not to overstate generational shifts. of course there will be shifts in the way in which we understand how culture works, how people find their feet within kind of cultural spaces. how identities are formed. but it doesn't follow from that, that the cultural markers that define a particular community, whether it be institutions like black churches, whether it be a certain musical form, whether it be a certain culinary practice. whether it be just simply a certain style, that the degree to which it is ascribed to by younger generations, vis-a-vis the ol

and the university. michigan and ohio, we have statewide agreements with the university in those states. the state of ohio, one of the members of the administration said that we are going to do this and i lost a bet because we will have it done by may. michigan did it in 90 days. we negotiated a 85% with the boilerplate that happens but still there are things that have to happen beyond that. i don't think that it went far enough. it is further than any other state we have done business with. it does not have things in it that create jobs, -- it does not have things in it. this is not about getting more revenue, this is about business engagement. i am very pleased, we are residents of ohio. that is a good step of the right direction. today's reality is that it is hard for startups to knock on the right door and big companies. it is hard for big companies to see all lead is out there. last year, my department had over 4400 and solicited ideas. we believe innovation is a democracy. we will take good ideas f

georgetown university are not catholic. even the catholics who go to georgetown university want to be able to have the choice to buy birth control or not. we're not talking about abortion. we're talking about family planning. 98% of catholics use family planning methods. the question i have and i've been thinking this for a few days, where does the conscience clause rest? does it rest with the individual buying the insurance policy, the church or the university? or does it rest with the individual who makes their own personal decision do they want to buy birth control coverage or not? i think it's the latter. >> two other points before we get to calls. this is the "new york daily news" lead editorial this morning, "obama gets religion." yes, it's true many american catholics support the president's decision. in a new poll 58% said religious institutions should be required to offer birth control in their plans, a number higher than the support among the public at large. but that doesn't change the core principle, the "new yo

we say, we want to work with that university. the university puts in capability. procter and gamble puts in capability. that is the kind of competition we are facing in the u.s. what comes out of that is technology that we have to put in our field of use, but it overlaps that university educational mission. it is a wonderful recruiting tool. when we are working with the university, we are seeing their students. our hiring gives preference coming out of those places. we also look for smart agents. we have a company in boston we are eight tiny investor in. when the principal calls and says here is something you want to look at. guess what? i looked at it. they understand our needs. i want to ask you -- does your development organizations, do they know what these entrepreneur's needs are? i'd like website. it is necessary. it is not sufficient. this smart agent piece is a full contact sport. it is a big 10 basketball. you have to understand the needs of the entrepreneur, the capabilities that exist, and make the match between those and help drive it through. you have

if you don't work for the university or go to the university you are out of luck. a standard doesn't bring this up. the invented google scholar and got permission from the publishers to come through and let them index their information to present these articles. if you have used it to know you are not in the university environment you have to pay ultimately for the article that you find but at least you can find the article. so that's great and that is super up to a point. but again it's how you do it. how the do the search system for one thing. because there by its built into that search engine to read one thing that the articles is they don't wink to each other. if i write a scholarly article, as i have and my friend jonathan here whose mother professor but it's a scholarly article if they are not the same subject if we set each other in the footnotes there is no electronic link, no hyperlink light on the web and that is the magic thing they follow so what is it that makes them rank one result over another? nobody knows and i used enough to know that it's not dep
