and she said there are do you elliott she told me this decision haunted already for decades. for decade she would think it was the wrong decision. so the finest praise i got for my book from helen sandler that the book brought her story to a close, and robert sandler found a rightful place in medical history and he decade-long haunted memory came to an end. and that was finer praise than any i have received, and perhaps the most moving thing that happened to me around the book. i think i have time for one more passage i'm going to read, and this from the end of the book. and which takes up a very different kind of challenge. the first kind of challenge i described to you is the challenge of storymaking, which is how you pop late a book. so at it the challenge that appears in the content. a book like this also faces a different kind of challenge and that's the challenge of summary-making, which is how do you summarize 4,000 years of history. how does one tie up all of this? the quick answer is, there is no simple solution, and that's something you learn in the book. one of the

[applause] thank you so much to elliott bay for having me. this is my neighborhood haunt. thank you for coming out. the book tells two stories. the first comment is about to how the computer plays into this long standing philosophical narrative deutsche aerospace is that humans are assessed and fascinated with their unique place in creation. what makes us different and special and unique? to answer this question we have typically if you go back to aristotle, we've typically try to benchmark their cells also what i think is so interesting about the 21st century is the benchmark reusing to figure of who we are has changed we're much more interested in our relationship to machines and other animals and changes the way we see ourselves. the other story is much more personal that i got to be a part of one of the artificial intelligence community's competitions it is called the loebner prize and i was the essentially part of the human defense so i found myself in a strange position. it was fall 2009 i was in england and having a strange feeling i have flown 5,000 miles from seat

elliott and i for ones are in agreement. this would be a time for the israeli government to take the initiative. what i fear is that the problem with the palestinian leadership is not that they do not want to participate in a deal. they do not believe that netanyahu is serious. believe netanyahu is serious. i have at all -- they have an alternative ute. i am afraid that will lead to deterioration of the situation as israel looks to retaliate against the palestinians for the isolation that israel is suffering. it is a question of sitting down quietly and figuring out how to do this. and if they do not soon, they will resign or he will unite with hamas, as difficult as that might be. that is the trend they are heading toward. for all these reasons, it makes sense for israel to sit down with people who want to me a deal and do it. >> i will grab the microphone back. i think he makes an excellent point. it would be a wonderful moment to go off quietly and talk to each other. the problem we have is the enormous level of distrust

[applause] >> thanks so much to elliott bay for having me. i live in seattle for the last four years, and so this is my neighborhood. thanks to you guys for coming out. so, the book really tells two stories. the first story is about how the computer plays into this really longstanding philosophical narrative which is that humans have always been sort of obsessed and fascinated with their unique place in creation. what is it that makes us different and special and unique? and to answer this question we have typically to be correct to aristotle and plato, we have typically tried to export yourself against animals. so what i think is so interesting about the 21st century is that the benchmark that we are using to figure out who we are has changed. much more interested in our relationship to machines then and relationship to other animals. it's changing the way that we think of ourselves. and the other story is a much more personal one which is that i got to be a part of one of the artificial intelligence community's main competition which is thi

. >> hey, elliott. what are you having. >>> a nationally known expert on adolescents and adults with autism, leads the program for teenagers at the mccarty school in new york. >> he considers the disabilities education law basically a civil rights issue for children but not so far for adults. >> after the age of 21, there is very little. it's more a-- we're goinging to provide services if we have the money and if you fit into this service. so more and more we're seeing kids graduate out of high school to nothing. they go on to waiting lists. they sit at home. >> he says there is a critical shortage of people who can work with adults with autism. >> first of all, they need staff people who understand the needs of adults. they need trained people who can work with them. and in almost every state of the union, the credentials to work with adults with autism, high school diploma, drivers licence and a criminal background check. >> and paid what? >> and paid just above minimum wage, usually. maybe 8 to $10 a

elliott was suggesting something different. a reprise of what was the which was toan change that situation for the better. i feel like the israelis took the lesson and netanyahu took the lesson that doing that in gaza was a mistake. because of what happened in gaza and the cannot do the same thing. the reason they dropped the idea is that did not want to see a repeat of what happened in gaza were you have a takeover by hamas and another iranian many stayed on their border. why would they contemplate such a thing given what happened in gaza? >> that is the right question. the idea that they will be able to negotiate a deal is not realistic. for all the obvious reasons, i do not think these are compromises. on the israeli side, the prime minister would need to get kadima in a coalition. i may be wrong with my read on kadima. the nuts years in into and of government and she is the he about being his successor, not his foreign minister and i wonder whether she would join a coalition no matter what position it took. the answer i thi

. >>> aidan elliott seems like your typical, video game-loving 8-year-old. >> finally got one. >> reporter: but what happened at this elementary school was hardly typical. >> i kind of blow up a little. >> reporter: more than a little. aidan, in a class of kids with behavior problems, became enraged. spitting, throwing chairs. even threatening teachers and students with a sharp piece of wood he held like a knife. >> i said i'm going to kill you once you get out of that room. >> reporter: how come you said that? >> because i was really angry. >> reporter: soon, police arrived. aidan told them -- >> i will kill you -- he told the teachers the same thing. if they came out, they were going to die. >> reporter: the officers decided their best option was to pepper spray the second grader. >> it was a situation that had to be diffused. and it had to be done very quickly. no one went home injured that way. >> reporter: aidan's mother, mandy, thinks police went too far. >> i do it was excessive force. we are filing a complaint. he's never hurt anybody in the past. >> reporter: if aidan contains his

made it clear that it will not broke the kind of process leading to a constitutional monarchy that elliott has talked about. because from their point of view, that would lead to a shia government in bahrain. that will be a catch four for the persians who are already in the setti view of taking over the government of iraq. and there is a next step, for the shia's, saudi arabia, who are a minority but happen to be located in the eastern quarter, next to bahrain, or most of saudi arabia's oil reserves are located. that is something that the saudis will simply not counter. they look at what is happening not in terms of the market seek versus autocracy. they see it as sectarian, as iranian vs saudi. suny versus portia. if they're not prepared to go down that road, be on that they're not prepared to talk to us about it. because they have now come to identify the united states is a threat to their internal security. they rely on us for their external security in alcs as a threat to their internal security. we have a real problem. they're not telling the people of bahrain, do not you dare. but the

mark elliott. the city is doing well.lost some employment with the ford plant in neighboring city. they are taking a hit, but it is doing well. it is a shame that people forget that local government should be more powerful than the federal government. we should be able to subject our laws. the federal by the money we pay -- fica money we pay should be reversed to the city governments. the republicans and democrats say this or that. they are elected officials. they raised their hand. they have the duty of care to the people and citizens that elected them. according to the constitution, they should be compensated. every year, wages go up. pension benefits go up. this that and the other for the federal government mess. host: we will leave it there. are there more democrat mayors be recalled or republicans? is it fairly even? guest: i do not think there is a pattern or partisan way to have to raise taxes. as the mayor of new york said, there is not a partisan way to do a pothole. the states are hurting. the states are passing
