but you see states moving ahead on issues with experimentation, on health care, on mandatory minimum sentences and a variety of things. and that's been one of the interesting things to see, as you look at the politics of the country as a whole. >> and the economy is doing better. >> woodruff: that's right, and -- >> less's not foreget we sppbt a lot of time talking about that for the last five years and it's better. >> jerry seib, susan page, thank you both. >> thank you. >> sure. >> woodruff: again, the major developments of the day. a major winter snowstorm shut down parts of the midwest and northeast, bringing arctic temperatures, heavy snow and high winds with it. more than 2,000 flights were canceled, and schools shut down ahead of the worst of it. sunni militants in iraq took

experimental music concert, and also readings. >> give us this day our daily bread at least three times a day. and lead us not into temptation to often on weekdays. [laughter] >> meridians' stands apart from the commercial galleries around union square, and it is because of their core mission, to increase social, philosophical, and spiritual change my isolated individuals and communities. >> it gives a statement, the idea that a significant art of any kind, in any discipline, creates change. >> it is philosophy that attracted david linger to mount a show at meridian. >> you want to feel like your work this summer that it can do some good. i felt like at meridian, it could do some good. we did not even talk about price until the day before the show. of course, meridian needs to support itself and support the community. but that was not the first consideration, so that made me very happy. >> his work is printed porcelain. he transfers images onto and spoils the surface a fragile shes of clay. each one, only one-tenth of an inch thick. >> it took about two years to get it down. i would say

he turned into a gladiator nishting bold, experimental -- initiating bold, experimental measures to pullhe economy back from the brink. his policies fed a surge in economic inequality, like a public figure pushing boundaries of convention, his legacy will be fodder for fans and critics, we look at the defining moment of ben bernanke's chairmanship. >> when ben bernanke was tapped to lead the fed the economy was in the grips of a real estate bubble fuelled by risky mortgage lending. when the markets imploded ben bernanke failed to spot the systematic crisis. >> at this juncture the impact of the broader economy and financial markets seems likely to be detainabled. the bad home loans caught up with wall street. the collapse sent shock waves through the global financial system. credit markets seized. investors fled stocks and money market. with confidence plummeting. ben bernanke and authority handwrittenized the full hour of reserve to arrest the free fall, slashing short-term interest rates to lows, pumping liquidity into the markets. >> he exhibited skill, remarkable creativity in trying

the experimental field is fenced in but that's all we can tell you from our vantage point. why is the public being kept in the dark about what's happening there this is used by the industry as a poster boy for a box up or genetically engineered crops and our food system and and just accepted this at this without quests on you know without school within the without the public knowing about it like public it's not even get even see the child to get even a start then certain things. we will be the one taking that risk when all the nice comes out so we have to know what that is six are really the risks are and whether we have really the capacity or not. and that will be the basis for decision whether to approve it or in. opposition to the golden rice is increasing in the philippine . government. money back in minoan we met up with rafael marianna a member of the philippine house of representatives and he is critical of genetic modification. he made a combative impression. now. more than fibro binge province s. . when he finally peace and but on guys that passed their respective

you can't do it alone, this is research, it is experimental, and there are reactions.ase the dose, has to be in the hospital in research setting to treat people. sometimes we have to give epinephrine when we increase doses bought they start to react. >> they sign off on this? >> they do. some people ask why are you doing research on food allergy, don't you want to take care of people that are sick? i tell them food allergy is serious disease. you have a dangling sword over your head, has a huge impact, talked about that in the first segment of the show, has a huge impact on your life. >> it is not approved by the fda, still experimental, you're doing clinical trials? >> exactly. we're wrapping up phase one trials to show it can be done safely. the next test will be phase two and three trials, we we will enl more patients to prove it is effective or not in inducing permanent will meaning you will eventually be able to go off that and not react. >> if people are watching, there's a website to show them they can sign up. >>dallergies.stanford.edu, tells you about the tria

the experimental rice field is on the premises so phil reiss. national rice research institute there do you feel rice and erie here have collaborated closely on golden rice and maybe. we are turned away at the main gate. and write your names and the official reason for your visit here or both. it won't be easy to get in an employee refers us tour bus. we ask him whether we can film the golden rice harvest is known what it can be made at a very nice area. peaceful my is certain normal be you know filming please no cameras no information sounds like a well kept secret we're only allowed to see the golden rice on an advertising poster but wasn't this rice supposed to go to market within the current year again were perplexed. and we try to catch a glimpse of the test field from the back you know. the business is still quite a feel that it's. ok though now you can see giants i'd like. to hear this from you which it whichever that. it says close as we can get. the experimental field is fenced in but that's all we can tell you from our vantage point. w

researchers in britain used an experimental therapy on 100 kids with severe peanut allergies. by giving them small amounts of peanut flour. after six months, 80 percent of the kids were able to safely eat a handful of nuts. the results published in the medical journal. >> finally, the rain has arrived. next at action, we are tracking the storm making its way through the bay area and the challenge it is making for the morning commute. >> also, the deep south thawing out of a deep freeze and how complete strangers came together to weather the storm that left thousands tranned. >> investigators reveal new details of the massive fire that swept through a peninsula metal one of the best things about is that millions of people will qualify for financial assistance. for example, if you're a single person making less than $46,000 a year, or a family of four, earning up to $94,200, you may be eligible for premium assistance. the lower your annual income, the greater financial assistance you will receive. get answers, and get covered. find out if you're eligible and enroll now. at cover

may be this revelation is only a microcosm of this country's gross history of an ethical human experimentation take for example one of the most well known human research projects and just a few years at the v.a. performed these veterans the bottom is the cia began a program with the stated goal of influencing and controlling the mind the agency use unwitting u.s. and canadian test subjects to carry out mind control experiments using psychedelic drugs hypnosis sensory deprivation verbal and sexual abuse and torture these experiments took place in the course of two decades and involved the compliance of at least forty four different colleges and universities or we can point to the infamous to stevie experiment which involved the us public health service injecting deadly syphilis into role african-american men who thought that they were receiving free health care and not believe a bully this went on for forty years and wasn't stopped all the way up until the one nine hundred seventy three it took up until one thousand nine hundred seven or for victims of this despicable cruelty to even receive an

. >> a lot of experimentation go into this? what ultimately ends up on the show?es it doesn't work out and maybe it's not a myth. >> for us, it's all about process and sometimes it involves failure and experimentation. the most fun we had was trying luke ent ton-ton guts and had to stay warm on the planet. and inventing things like that is quite challenging and interesting. all about that process and if we fail, we are good with that. >> if you ask what kind of experiments we do, we do it on camera. everything you see happen it's us figuring out what is going to happen. we come to a result that we didn't expect and changed the narrative so we can tackle the actual result. >> this is a technology-business show and there are a lot of tech people with very big dreams and you heard about the c.e.o. from amazon and delivering packages to your doorstep, is that something that can ever happen? >> absolutely. >> i order 10 things on amazon every day. is that coming drone? >> it totally could happen. i don't think it's going to happen tomorrow or next year, but it somethin

it is true that we are in a period of experimentation attempting to determine what really works, but if you look in retrospect what states have already done, they have a pretty good track record for experimenting and for being very good laboratories at being able to say what works and what doesn't. as a former governor, i'll admit that i have a bias when it comes to public policy in favor of states. but i think the commission members would agree with me that we're all surprised and really heartened as we begin to dig into this issue and look at what states have at their disposal in terms of policy tools to control health care costs. i'm going to talk about five different buckets of policy tools. first, the purchasing power of state health care programs including medicaid, those for states and to some extent local employees and individuals in state exchanges. so medicaid, state and in some states local employees, and individuals who are enrolling in the state exchanges. that's one bucket. second, state laws and authorities that governor insurance scope of practice, provider rates and

period ofa experimentation but if you look in retrospect at what states have already done, they have a pretty good track record for experimenting and being good laboratories at being able to say what works and what doesn't. governor, i have a bias in favor of states. we are also prized and really heartened as we dig into this issue and look at what states have at their disposal in terms of policy tools to control health care costs. i'm going to talk about five different buckets of policy tools. the purchasing power of state health care programs including medicaid, to some extent local employees and individuals in state exchanges. in some states local employees and individuals enrolling in state exchanges. state laws and authorities that govern insurance, provider rates and medical malpractice. affecting market competition, consumer choice, antitrust and cost and quality transparency. the authority to invest in initiatives that involve population health, programs that help lifestyle choices and personal responsibilities. the power of governors to engage stakeholders in process for cha

maybe using these promising experimental agents at a time when the disease is already ravaged the brain is too late, so maybe what we ought to do is intervene at the very beginning, before damaged has occurred, and symptoms emerged, so that's a big pivot, a big change in the field. >> reporter: it is also raises new ethical considerations to administer alzheimer's treatment to people with no current symptoms. >> in every case it boils down to the ability for everybody to appreciate potential risks, and the potential benefits, benefits for oneself, benefits for ones family, or future generations >> you're going to draw trees in the background, yours is looking great! >> reporter: for people who already have alzheimer's, the institute creates environments, like this art class, where patients can feel productive and successful. >> i think it works for people who have alzheimer's because everyday they face failure, because their memory, their brain can't keep pace. but as i tell people with this disease, look, not all of your brain is not working, there are parts that work beautifully, and

hours so is there any any threat here that the financial crisis that some european countries and experimentally may change your ability to some tricks that i live a part of my time in new york on the sick and the new and. to make my my shopping in fair way and in this store even if the meat is too large for me i'm able to get it into to share it and consumes the pot for the day after i also have some benefit in america is the fact that all the products are really prepared i can buy salads and with dressings i can buy fruits always yet still still cut for example and this is my problem to share my portion when i put it in my fridge the same for the yogurt but the advantage in united states. instead of friends if for example i can buy one your good and not for your goats or your goats and i can't really decide to consume so we have benefits because the food is prepared and we have. convenience because sometimes it's too fatty or to launch but at the same time you mentioned in the first part of the program that food culture is very much associated with your family traditions and in france if i'm n

obviously as their career went on, they grew experimental, they went into new directions that peopleven imagine. but, you know, we forget people didn't think about bands that wrote their -- first of all, they didn't think about bands. second of all, they didn't think about pop stars who wrote their own music prior to the beatles. that was a revolutionary thing no matter what kind of songs they were doing. >> it's hard to think of a time in american history of more change than between the mid-'60s and late '60s in terms of a five or six-year block. how much do you think the beatles are responsible for playing a role in that seismic shift? >> i think there's always a question about how much does the culture -- how much does the art mirror the culture and how much does it go the other way. i think that the timing of the beatles' arriving coming a few months after kennedy's assassination brought a youthful, fresh energy and really pointed a way towards the future and a creative future. you know, certainly what they were doing was mirroring a lot of things that were happening in society a

second as i explained to george will on another television program way back when we tried the experimental -- that guy had to pay the entire $83,000 by tapping out his credit cards, his mother-in-law credit cards. he had $83,000 worth of skin in the game and what good did it do him? it's not like he said i want to shop for a cancer drug. if i like it i'll buy it but if i don't i'll buy shoes instead. >> jon: at what point because there's this idea that the health care system should function as one our regular unfettered free market system but it's impossible to do that. in connecticut there's monopolies on hospitals. you don't decide where the ambulance takes you. >> that's right. there's no semblance of a free market. what does a free market usually have? there's a balance between the buyer and the seller. there's no balance you have to buy that product. you can't go somewhere else to buy it if you are going to the emergency room or new haiive because it's the only hospital and they own all the doctors practices. there's also in a free market, knowledge. you don't have any knowledge what

conservatives have different views about how the limits on that kind of experimentation should be set. the basic see how society is not a rational plan thing, but a growing organism is a view many libertarians share in common. >> i've long argued that judges are utopias and most conservatives find one in the past. for modern-day liberalism, it is the college campus now. instead of classless society come to you at kid, especially at elite colleges, food provided, shelter, and security. people clean up after them and get the most independent people. so very quickly because we are running out of time. the current political climate, particularly on the right, the tone of this prudential and a burkey and sense come and not it, but skeptical. i don't think i'm spoiling anybody you side with burke. it's very much out of tempo with the time. particularly on the right he stays. do you think the american conservative movement can move back to a more burkey and temperament? >> guest: yeah, or forward. i think that part of the reason for the book is to offer a different intellectual history of ou

today was to announce the program but we've already been working on this program in a kind of experimental way to see the results and thanks to the mta and the police department working together we compared the data and we began in the month of september we had over 51 robberies that had to do with on muni and in and around the stations. as a result of additional officers that focused on the muni routes the month of october that 51 robberies changed into 9 robberies. on those muni lines. larceny and the same thing people stealing things maybe not off a perch but that was totaled tolarecy reports on the muni lines and were reduced to 26 in the month of october when those additional officers were played on line. that's a drastically demonstration of people working together and getting in grant and - well, thank you. thanks again. and so that's an important statistics from tolarecy report in a matter of thirty days with the additional prince of officers. i think we want to keep this good morning. we want to announce overlook important aspect it won't be simply the presence of more officers bu

the eucalyptus tree changing but to do it and found a new experimental bands that were done deal the eye catching. and guys because they can the commission was so badly damaged. sitting on the city is smaller than the other city in the fury articles on all very good. if their baby woke on people and their lead in those two number one and number say that since shouldn't be so different the damaged sitting on the city was in a mess southerly to see a loss will covet month. no one the show all that fiat without going into the one in the uk the sales indicates that the marquess of donning the sun was barely sitting on the city. his name appears on many objects recovered from two number one and two. it was the tallest of the kingdom of junk shop. so there should also be an inch wide sale to prove it. i i me this of course led me into it the nobleman to the wind chill out day two the issue she said the deal. discovery all placed in minsk on shots of the kingdom of topshop how the near completion. get your attention to it. that's all about it if you bother bother him. just you. he seals tur

one of the things i would like to do experimentally is to try to experimentally manipulate some of these issues and move them off of the fence for the tea party and a little more over to a more progressive side of king. the strong tea party supporters, they are not going to move. let me tell you why. hard-core conservative aspect or another shamble always overrule cognition or judgment, always. this has been shown in social, psychological. aspect will always overrule cognition. fear, anxiety, anger come will always overrule the idea that maybe this policy is better for me. maybe i shouldn't vote against the economic interests. aspects amount conservatives overrule. but i would like to do is i'm still trying to work this out, try to divide some experiment to see what will move these weak tea party supporters off of the fence in a more progressive direction and may be coming in now, the next time so we can think about putting referenda, ballot initiative, depending on the state, state ballots, right? to see if they would be willing to vote for this class two primary. that's the only other

and 25 years old things to genuine research, which includes experimentation on animals.ithout research, i would have been dead at nine. an italian student who suffers from several rare genetic disorders posted this message to facebook. little did she think it would have been met with such strong reaction. she has been insulted. there have been death threats, and it has revived the debate on animal research. the #has trended heavily in italy and has seen a lot of people speaking out. there are those who say ethical testing is absolutely essential in research of rare medical disorders. one blogger has expressed a similar viewpoint. he a plot katerina for her brave stance and reminds readers of the importance of animal testing. he says people let their emotions cloud debate and hopes the controversy will raise awareness of the need or using animals in scientific research. while many condemn the verbal abuse unleased on the student, she says there are more effective research alternatives, such as using donor organs. excuse me, when i say i love you, i truly mean it -- this i

different genres, experimental noise, electronics, dissonance some drums.a tiny bit of ambient -- the first noise pancake shows, 1999, the first waffle noise, 2001. god-waffle noise, noise pancake came out of cubist art, place on mission street, brutallo, where the church -- opened up his house and saturday morning cartoons. a big space. you can have everybody set up and barely move equipment around; small room for an audience to move around, walkover and get pancakes without getting burned up in the kitchen. there's like people in their hard-core gabber; people into really fast death metal; black metal. people who don't listen to music at all. guy like larnie bock (sounds like) set up huge, motor driven harp. i don't know how to explain it. 40 foot of motors that he had running over strings and wires. and then played each string individually with the mixer. there is a feeling of euphoria when somebody's really good at what they do. experiencing a buffer, pushing your bowels out your rear. different. a lot of noise. you don't play clubs with a cleaning schedule, a guy coming in the mo

of it has been the huge need for revenue at the state level, so because there is all of this experimentationn the state level, it has created a very unequal playing field. and there are a lot of people who would like to see this federalized if you will. and we know that that is pretty ahistoric ahistorical, gambling has always been left pretty much to the states to legalize it as they see fit. so this is a little bit of a dish approach. >> both sides with beefing up their lobbying efforts. the gaming association just hired jim messina, and then the ore side backed by billionaire sheldon adelson. why is this gaining momentum now? >> because it is dangerous. it's a very dangerous thing for kids, our economy, for a host of different things. and one of the reasons that we're focusing on it now is because not only is it dangerous, but because these states are just now getting up and running, but as they grow, it is going to be harder and harder to deal with that. to federalize it would be very dangerous. online poker can be very much manipulated. it crease at its a danger for all kinds of things,
