The processes in place and if so, have we seen this before as some have said? >> richard, let me go back in history. after 9/11, we largely shut our borders. we largely did what you see happening today. i remember john ashcroft giving a speech where he said we needed to separate bad people from good people and it was going to take us a decade to figure out how to do that. at the same time, the ceo of intel was out there saying if we have that kind of policy, not only are we going to undermine th...

Pamela brown is "outfront" outside the attackers home in columbus, ohio, and pamela, youre learning his facebook posts may indicate a possible motive? what are you hearing right now? >> reporter: thats right, were learning from law enforcement sources, kate, that just before the attack, the suspect posted on his facebook page grievances about attacks on muslims. tonight, investigators are trying to figure out the motive and determine whether this was an act of terrorism. around 9:52 a.m., chaos ...

Good evening. a lot of politics to get to in this hour. we begin with our breaking news. investigators are scrambling tonight to determine if an attack on the campus of ohio state university was, in fact, a terror attack. in less than two minutes, 11 people were hurt, their attacker killed. the entire campus rattled to its core. students ordered to shelter in place. it would be hours before they learned what had happened and who was responsible. as we do on "360" and in situations like this, we ...

>> well, soledad, as soon as mitt romney landed here in london for his overseas trip he found the controversy surrounding basically what has been hoped by his campaign as what theyre calling a listen and learn tour. it has been sort of who said what in the last 24 hours as you mentioned that quote that appeared in an article in the london daily telegraph apparently or allegedly we might even want to say from an unnamed romney advisor and even though the international press could not in...

Joining me now is brendan wallace. a personal job search website. you have good news for all of us. its nice to have you here. were talking about this shortage of trained people in the high tech field. why would there be a shortage especially in this day in age? >> i think whats happened is there are so many startups and technology companies are growing at a fast pace and the number of engineers being produced out of the top universities and great engineering programs havent really changed and h...

Threat here? >> well, what we do in this country we asked ourselves if one of these highly imrobl events were to occur and how would the plant and plant operators respond? since september 11th in particular we have modeled and prepared for scenarios where we would have stations that lose both off site and on-site electricity generation capacity. that is fundamentally what the problem is at sites in japan. we have made changes to the plants, to the regulations and we also simulate those scenarios...

And these racial discrepancies that we were just pointing out on the wall, on that graphic i just showed. talk to me about both these discrepancies and what they mean to our success in the future. >> well, on the manufacturing side, the kinds of jobs that are being created are very technical in nature. a lot of them are engineering and things of that nature. if you go to universities, minorities, especially hispanics, are very underrepresented in those technical areas. engineering programs in pa...

Engineering programs in particular. a lot of this is interesting high school age blacks and hispanics in those kinds of very technical careers. its not just engineering, its finance and some of the other areas, software. so theres an absence of preparation. and frankly, the college achievement level of those groups is much lower, and thats what patters today. >> yep. and lets pick up on that, engineering, software, finance, accounting, education, private education, anything to do with health car...

What do you see when you look out over the next year, over, say, the next two years? >> well, i see us right in the middle of that perfect storm. >> yeah. >> and i just hope and pray, frankly, that its a lot more calmer waters on the other end. the $3.2 billion shortfall, approximately $1.2 billion will impact public education for next year, and frankly that has all of us more than concerned here in florida, especially as we continue to drive high riggeror our classes, more advanced placement cl...
