real big trouble for bruce boudreau's team.it is a momentum hit in a big way when you score a momentum goal in a power play in the nhl. you have to realign your power play, and this is barely passing, not getting back. looks easy on the break away. that is a heck of taseat by neuvirth with ovechkin on his tail but not giving it up. once again, they need it. i tell you what. toskala looked a little weak early on, but he is coming in to play in tough situations and that is making the difference in this game. 3 goals on each shot. now they are screaming toskala like they are his best friend after they booed him early on this season. they can change in a hurry. >> joe: 9 minutes to go in regulation. the guy in the white have to get their acts together. 5-5 hockey. green wide. mercedes, kaberle, and that was a first shorthanded goal. fehr. that is why the fans were on their feet there. that was a nice play. deflected down. wide over there. and 25 to go in the -- 1:25 to go in the 3rd. punching it into the corner. and latching on to

speaking with bruce bueno de mesquita about his new book, "the predictioneer's game."it's now time for us to take questions from our audience. here's a great first question. madeline albright describes global affairs as more like a billiard game, and not like poker or just. where the arrangement of the game is constantly changing and dynamics. how do you account for dynamic shifts where changes in one variable might have widely different effects on players? >> wonderful question. so my models are themselves dynamic. the data coming in as i mentioned in the position of players and so forth, although those variables within the logic of the model are changing in response to the strategic playing out of the game within the models logic. people's power go up and down. people's position moves this way or that way. people's focus on the issue shift and so forth. the world is a complicated case and is also the with a certain. the models are designed to try to capture much of that uncertainty. so there are multiple dimensions of uncertainty modeled by the program i've written.

bruce, i'm not clear what your assumptions our about 1989 and 2001.derstand perfectly well what you're singing about the assumptions about your sin in 1945. i understand what you're saying about the realist assumptions and i understand what you're saying about the assumptions of north korea. but what are you trying to say about the assumptions of policymakers in 1989 and 2001 tax essentially you're saying it was not threats, not interest, not values essentially that shape posing. something about the assumptions in 1989, 2001. i'd like to have a clear idea what those assumptions were. mary, my question to you is the following. you seem to want to have it both ways. you're saying on the one hand that in the long run the architecture that was created in 1989, 1989, 1990 was a pre-found architecture that really miss the punctuation or moments in the sense that it didn't provide for long-term satisfactory answers. so basically there's a strong element of your analysis that's critical of the long-term architecture that was created. on the other hand you are

distance between growth in wages and growth in health care costs has slackened in part because we are bruce deductibles and co- payments. there are ways in which we can control health-care costs. i think they will continue to exceed the economy. if we have to come we will find ways to cut the rate of growth. they will not be pretty ways and intel reductions in benefits. i do not subscribe to the idea that it will spend out of control. having said that, we need to do something about medicare before 2017. >> that is when it is supposed to run out. >> alice, i know you want to respond to this. if you would, you were there during the clean administration when health care was at that time in the headlines, much as it is now. and it was seen as really detrimental politically, to put it diplomatically. >> it showed a president who was not able to pass something that he had put his enormous prestige and his wife's behind. they did not handle it right. i think they did not perceive that although everybody said they were for health-care reform, they were four different kinds of health care reform, an

the only reason i got it right was because i realize that bruce hoffman was right and i was even more hoffman night then kaufman was. before 9/11 he began to waiver and i did not waiver at all. i was producing the fall hoffman on the eve of 9/11 and mi5 will show that. stowe mal for the hidden history. what i think is not realized in the united states. two things. one is the plans to attack the u.k. began before 9/11 and the first attack of u.k. was defeated before 9/11. secondly that in recent years, the most important of foiled attacks against the u.k. by islamist terrorism was a skeel beyond 9/11 so this was before 9/11. this is the first under the first islamist factory in britain, but fortunately he was under surveillance. the reason 9/11 words is the perpetrators were not under surveillance. the reason that didn't work is that aberdeen was under surveillance. this is a surveillance photograph. this is the first big attempted attack against the u.k. by islamists terrorist after 9/11. on the right there is omar khai am. he could make bones but he could not detonate them so on the

bruce, i'm not clear what your assumptions are. i understand what you are saying about the realist assumptions and about north korea but what are you trying to say about the assumptions of policy makers in 1989 and 2001. you are saying it is not threats and interest or values. something about their assumptions. i'd like to have a clearer idea of what those assumptions were. my question to you is the following, you seem to want to have it both ways. you are saying on the one hand that in the long run, the architecture created in 1989 was a free fab architecture that missed the moment in the sense that it didn't provide for a long term saektry answer. there's a strong element that's critical of the long term architecture created. you are very quick to say it was the only possible architecture. how do you reconcile these two things or what are the implications of those starments. >> bill, my question to you is just on your third or fourth example of iraq where you you are critical of school ars. you say that the policy makers had it m
