Alex morgan to grace the cover of the6 201 soccer video game. Unique over the field. Stephen colbert talking with his audience over lunch. I want to open up a bed and breakfast with a twist. You can never leave. All that matters. Zach johnson, major champion again. I play golf for a living and im grateful for that. Congratulations, cha
To cspan. Org. Now, a discussion about medical technology and new inventions to aid the disabled. It was part of the washington hosts transformer summit held on wednesday. This is two hours. We are delighted to welcome you here this morning. Thank you for joining us. [applause] were sitting in the center of what we call Washington Post live. The new initiative that extends the reach of our journalism through live events, streaming, and pairs or journalist with leaders and decisionmakers to dissect and explore the most important and compelling issues off our time.

Of what we call Washington Post live.

We have gone from what was once a locally focused newspaper, to a multiplatform Digital First News Organization serving a Broad National and global audience.

Very similar to the movie minority report and have 3d images from cad and manipulate it.
