i've been to nebraska, really love the state, omaha and worked in omaha and lincoln. omaha is a beautiful city. but i felt like dr. linder had dodged the question earlier and i would like to hear more why if you're giving an engineering agree you have to have history, which adds a lot of cost to your tuition. thanks. >> if you're pursuing an engineering degree, should you learn anything other than engineering? should you take a history course or english course. take an english course or history course? i think education in the humanities, including history are essential for all citizens to have, there was an extended political discussion that occurred before i came on the air and if our citizens don't have an understanding of world history, how can they properly vote in elections and understand the issues that face their communities. i think it has to be balanced between your degree program and the things that round you out as a human being. but i do think those programs are essential. they shouldn't be duplicated, which was i think one of the concerns of the other ca

(laughter) the fxfl has four teams, the omaha mammoths, the brooklyn bolts, the boston brawlers, and if you don't live in one of those cities, you can root for the blacktips... because they don't have a home city and are, instead, "a roving all-star team that will play all its games on the road." they're sort of like the harlem globetrotters, except the globetrotters are better at football. and the fxfl will provide a viable platform for marginal players to receive live training, ulti

in the united states, one other patient had been previously treated and released in omaha and three others, including one who remains hospitalized have been treated in atlanta. in europe, a total of eight people have been treated, two of the three in spain have died. no drugs or vaccines have been approved by the fda to treat ebola and only very limited supplies of the drugs being tested are available. the stock that makes the drug used by duncan dropped following the announcement of his death. that same drug is also being given to nbc's freelance photographer in nebraska but until there is a drug or vaccine to fight ebola, the cost of containing it will steady climb. >>> john penzer joins us now. he's the director of macro economics at the world bank group and an author of the study we referred to. sir, welcome. good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> i gather, correct me if i'm wrong, that much of the cost that you describe under a worst-case scenario, $33 billion concentrated in west africa is traceable to what you describe as a version behavior that people would engage in in those e

. >> host: what was malcolm little's life like in omaha? >> guest: malcolm's -- my father's childhood was exceptional. because he had so many siblings, and much like my open, having five sisters, it gives you this sense of just pride, humor, tenacity, you know, makes you a good friend, compassionate, all these wonderful things that were instilled in malcolm by his -- both of his parents-that would enable him to go on in his adult life and become this person, malcolm x. one of the greatest political strategists, one of the greatest humanitarians, just so many wonderful things bass my father was so young -- because my father was so young. he was only 28-29 years old when the world knew him and he was killed at the age of 29, and to have made such a significant contribution in such a short lifetime, speaks volumes to who he was and for me as an adult, i reflect on that sense of loneliness, that sense that he must have really felt having sacrificed his life, not asking for anything in return, but the benefit of humanity so we could move forward

this is a live picture from omaha, nebraska. in the meantime, thomas eric duncan is fighting for his life in critical condition in dallas. dozens that had contact with him are being closely watched. we certainly know you have a lot of questions and concerns. we asked many for your questions. we have a team to help answer those. we have elizabeth cohen and arthur director of medical ethics. and rounding out the trio, retired military analyst. i think what we should do is start with you elizabeth. we have information on officials ramping up screenings at airports after learning about the reports of blunders and poor handling of potential ebola patients. talk us through that. >> right michaela. we've been talking on your show a week now how when my crew and i returned to atlanta, there was basically no screening at all. this surprised us because customs and border patrol knew we had been covering ebola. they didn't ask us question. we're hearing now u.s. authorities are thinking of ramping up screening, making it more stringent. i

one in atlanta, washington, omaha and montana. those are specialized you wants. not every hospital is prepared for that, and not every healthcare worker is prepared for that. as we heard from the nurse's group, they're hearing that a lot of people feel that they're not appropriate. they don't understand the steps it takes to not get the ebola infection. as a matter of fact, we were just in alabama last week witnessing some cdc training on the ground simulated training for folks going over to west africa in the coming weeks, and it is so meticulous, david, the amount of steps it takes to make sure that the safety equipment is done properly, and to get it off. it's remarkable. even the workers there who have had experience with this were making mistakes, and the teachers were making them go through it again and again and again. so phenomenal. i don't hour a small tiny little rural hospital in say iowa or alabama, somewhere like that, would be able to take anyone with the ebola infection. it is tough enough for a place like emory university to deal with this, let al

i've been to omaha and worked in lincoln. omaha is a beautiful city, but i felt like dr. linder had dodged a question earlier and i'd like to hear more about why if you're getting an engineering degree you have to have history which adds a lot of cost to your tuition. thanks. >> so the question comes if you're pursuing, say, an engineering degree should you learn anything other than engineering. should you take a history course? should you taken a english course? and i think education in the humanities, including history, are essential for all citizens to have. there was an extended political discussion that occurred before i came on the air and if our citizens don't an understanding of world history how can they properly vote in elections and understand the issues that face their communities? i think it has to be balanced between your degree program and things that round you out as a human being but i do think those programs are essential. they shouldn't be duplicate which had i think was one of the concerns in the other caller in that she had already had exposure to his

outside the hospital in omaha where doctors asked dr. brantly for his blood to give to mukpo. why didn't they donate to duncan, as well? >> reporter: we don't know. what i can tell you from samaritan's purse, the group that dr. brantly is currently a practicing physician for. they say he was contacted by the texas hospital. he volunteered, said i would be happy to donate any blood. gave them his blood type and never heard back. so presumably, his blood type probably didn't match mr. duncan's blood type. we don't know that for certain. but that's what you would assume. >> kate snow reporting from omaha, thanks for that update, kate. >>> just days ago, thomas eric duncan's family made the long trip from north carolina to texas to see him. yesterday, they went to the hospital in dallas. they brought with them somebody interesting. reverend jesse jackson who they turned to for help frustrated the level of care the beloved relative they knew as eric was receiving. yesterday, while in dallas, certainly before mr. duncan died, i spoke to the reverend and to duncan's nephew -- i'm sor
