dollar it happened after world war one of the shift to the common currency it changed the political circumstances completely and this process is also heard in a social sense because it is mostly the poorest people who suffer from it and use the introduction of a common currency least in inflation and we can hardly think that they are used to deflation only way to handle a situation is to convey in money that it will at least harm the donor countries but also others that it also means the wealthy people will be way how much would you say the benefits of the euro outweigh its costs that although large light and the current economic situation you are the only advantage of the euro is that we do not have to change your money to france or you know that money change means only in significant cost compared to the costs that the euro has caused as well according to fundamental estimates the euro cost germany about ten percent of g.d.p. per year these are all transfer operations are being done in the whole system of european banks that gradually also has their own interest rate you should ha

so many, many americans read or heard "common sense." today probably the best-remembered portions of "common sense" are paine's attack on monarchy, a devastating attack that perhaps destroyed for all time any interest in having monarchy in america. but also paine challenged reconciliation and urged instead independence saying that america had nothing to gain from reconciliation, but it had peace and prosperity to gain from independence. but in addition to that, there is something else about "common sense" that i think was crucial. paine gave meaning to what was going on. to this point, much of the talk had been about taxation without representation, and that sort of thing. but paine transformed this into a glorious cause. paine talked about this as being a great event that would change world history. in fact, paine uses the expression that the american revolution is the birthday of a new world and that the sweeping changes that will come in america from independence will cross the atlantic and will stimulate similar revolutions in europe

we have a common approach to reducing the military staff give. us we must better train our personnel. to adapt to different kinds of missions. we are beginning to know each other are different approaches. on terrain we are cooperating when it comes to pirate of the combating piracy. you know. we are developing cooperation on african soil and you know russian soldiers are learning from our experience in this field. when it comes to the construction of two helicopter carriers of mistral class. this will be partly realized in france partly in russia. free or for will be actually produced over here in moscow in russia. we are still talking about the employment of these of the usage of these ships. but i'd like to add. to what the foreign ministers were saying is that the usage of fancy ballistic missiles will. we have all of. our unanimity of positions of between france and russia that we do not want to see this missile defense. to be frets to national security is about fresh in france. and that this is an. early week that we do not want to see this

four or five days after paine's "common sense" was published.nd from the moment that the news of this military setback hit congress, many in congress began to think openly and speak openly about independence. why? because they realized that victory in this war was possible only with foreign assistance. and foreign assistance was possible only if america declared independence. france might aid america. spain might aid america, and others might as well, but if the objective was to be reconciled with great britain, there was nothing for these foreign powers. but if america became independent, britain would be weekend. they might gain american trade. they might be willing to come to the assistance of a america. and so, starting early in 1776, you can almost feel a groundswell for independence building. committees of safety called for independence. colonial assemblies passed resolutions authorizing their congressmen to vote for independence. and, finally, in may of 1775, virginia's assembly passed a resolution actually instructing their congressmen t

environmental harms should be considered what we call in the political theory common over in the us if you are at a crossroads you have two cars that have divergent interests one is going in one direction the other in the other direction and they're not going in the same direction but they have a common aversion which is getting into an obstacle. and they're likely to cooperate over that common version whether it's through a stop sign but from some kind of traffic regimen. even sides that do not like to cooperate on other things and have divergent interests they may still have common of versions. rising temperatures rising seas and intensifying storms eroding coastlines falling water tables vanishing habitats and species the broad threats facing us in the twenty first century are environmental yet the environment is consistently overshadowed by the immediacy of war and preparations for war it is an extremely difficult to get the nation mobilized against something that is a long term as opposed to a short term problem. as long as there is no weapons or insufficient emphasis from the nat

common will be joining us on the program tonight. but first, as you'll recall, during his time as an elected official accountable to the nation's voters, our vice president dick cheney kept something of a low profile. [laughter] staying in undisclosed locations, erasing the vice presidential residence from google maps, traveling only a night on the new moon at low tide. but with the release last month of his new tell-some book, cheney is now saying, hello, world, it's me, dick. he's on "dateline," the "today show," morning show, every show folk news has ever produced, including a double shot of hannity, "the situation room," abc news, c-span and even the the unshow, where things got somewhat surreal. >> it's "the tonight show with jay leno." tonight jay welcomes former vice president dick cheney. carrot top. oh, mmm, oh, oh, hold on. six legs, two hearts and a pending indictment for war crimes at the hague. mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm. name three things that the tonight show panel possessions. [laughter] that's why carson was the greatest. th

please welcome to the program common. sir.t know why i'm associating with you right now. i feel it's terribly dangerous for me. let's talk very quickly about the dust-up that happened to you. you were invited to a poetry reading at the white house. is that correct? >> yes. >> and you accepted it? >> i definitely did. >> jon: and that was cause for many news organization, one news organization... [laughter] to suggest that perhaps the reincarnation of che guevara had been invited to the white house. what did i feel like to be in the middle of that firestorm, to accept an invitation to a white house you had already been to a couple of times? what did the firestorm feel like? >> well, at first i thought it was humorous. i'm like, really, they think that i'm the person that's a negative, a negative rap artist, and then i realized that they just didn't know me because if they had, they wouldn't come out and say that i rap about killing cops, and, you know, anybody that knows me knows i put out music about love. i put out music abou

common interests increase. >> charlie: common interests being a stable world -- >> peace and stabilityof the world and common development, growth f everyone. security. on the other hand there are many differences between the two untries. >> charlie: and those are? >> if he question of taiwan and for instance the currency bill. >> charlie: let's talk about currency because that's one of them that always comes u secretary ithner you met with today i'm sure that was part of the discussion with secretary geithner. he believes it's in your interesting to let your cuency appreciate. >> it is appreciating and started in the year of 2005 because i was ambassador here already and started in june of '05 so if you count the appreciation since 2005 it has appreciated by some 23%. now if you add inflation to that figure it's about 29%. so i think this is a fact. then secondly tnk argument hear and you hear very often is not really very good argument. people try to tie unemployment to sort of so-called manipulation of chinese currency. >> charlie: the argument goes we become an import market and you

and they're likely to cooperate over that common aversion whether it's through a stop sign or through some kind of traffic regimen even sides that do not like to cooperate on other things and have divergent interests they may still have common of versions. rising temperatures rising seams and intensifying storms eroding coastlines falling water tables vanishing habitats and species the broad threats facing us in the twenty first century are environmental yet the environment is consistently overshadowed by the immediacy of war and preparations for war it is extremely difficult to get the nation mobilized against something that is a long term as opposed to a short term problem as long as there is no emphasis or insufficient emphasis from the national leadership to protect the environment you probably cannot expect the military to give it high priority what we're looking at now is a threat to our global civilization and saving. our civilization is not a spectator sport we've got to change the system now and that means become politically active it means supporting political candidates who

the one thing we share in common are feelings and emotions. this is the one area we fail so badly as educators, counselors and therapists. one of the commonalities as an educator and as a counselor is, i was, 10 years ago. i was working with native american students, i am from the midwest and i moved out here 6 years ago. prior to that, however, i was, the counseling department for a native american therapeutic school. we had 260 students grades 4 through 8. 75 percent were on special education ie p's. 90 percent were already enrolled in the juvenile system and in the drug and alcohol programs. later on, i would show up and be a counselor at the betty ford center with attorneys and other professionals. the one commonality that the children at therapeutic school and the professionals at the betty ford center had in common was no clue about feelings and how to be aware of their feelings and how to address them. what mr. dierck has done is one of the things that we as educators, it's the one thing we have missed. it's the absolutely one thing we

and then almost immediately after common sense, the fourth event occurred. the americans lost the battle. as the battle of quebec fought on the last day of 1775 when an american army led by richard montgomery and benedict arnold still on our side at that point attacked the british and tried to capture the city of quebec and field. it was the first grade to defeat that the americans had suffered in this war and the news of that defeat reached philadelphia four or five days after paine's common sense was published. and from the moment that the news of this military setback hit congress, many in congress began to think openly and speak openly about independence. why? because they realized that victory in this war was possible only foreign assistance and foreign assistance was possible only if america declared independence. france might aid america, spain might eight america, others might as well but if the objective was to be reconciled with great britain, there was nothing for these foreign powers, but if erica became independent, britain might be weakened and

you have a common language of a common media i mean people via the issues i'm sure i'm sure. it's a criticism as i would have the u.k. the political system but it's you know it's roughly speaking a function in a functioning democracy where just just just isn't there is no mechanism by which for example the european central bank or european treasury ministry of finance basically setting common fiscal tax policies can have any kind of democratic legitimacy and it's got to fool that there needs to be more consensus here but as this crisis continues there's less consensus because the germans will say hey we've done enough more than our fair share but what is really necessary is for some kind of political consensus i'm going to stay away from the union right now we can get there later but there has to be a political consensus jeff is that possible right now because it seems that the inclination is to go in reverse the problems here. i mean unfortunately the social democrats whether it's in germany or in any other european union country operate under thatcher's maxim that there is

we have a duty to find common purpose as a nation. in the days after 9/11, the response came like the single hand over a single heart. the members of congress from both sides of the aisle gathered on the steps of the capitol and sang "god bless america." neighbors reached out to neighbors of all backgrounds and beliefs. and they'd been tested by national disaster, economic turmoil, anxieties and challenges here at home and abroad. there had been spirited debates along the way. the essence of democracy. but americans have never been defined by our disagreements. whatever challenges we face today and in the future, we must never lose faith in our ability to meet them together. we must never allow our differences to harden into divisions. second, we have a duty to remain engaged in the world. 9/11 proved that the conditions in the country on the other side of the world can have an impact on our own streets. it may be tempting to think it doesn't matter what happens to a villager in afghanistan, a child in africa, the temptation of isolat

let's listen to the people and find common ground to remove barriers to job creation.p small businesses return to creating jobs they can pick up where they left off instead of being left behind. you can learn more about our jobs plan by visiting jobs.gop.gov. >>, former president george w. bush and former secretary of state condoleezza rice discuss global issues. the white house medal of honor separate -- ceremony. california representative henry waxman, a ranking member of the energy and commerce committee, offers a perspective on the republican plans to roll back regulations in a difficult economy. that is sunday at 10:00 and 6:00 on c-span. sunday, speeches by texas gov. rick perry and minnesota rep michele bachmann. >> i was not one of those people who knew at the age of 12 that he wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer or a governor or president. i spent many a night pondering my purpose. wondering whatod, to do with this one life. what i learned as i wrestled with god is that i did not have to have all the answers. they would be revealed to me in due time. >> as nomin

the common core state standards. we have instructional guides in the hands of every teacher and classroom that addresses the standards which focuses on higher order thinking skills and application. this flattening means we have almost 60% proficient. if we want to get to 80% and 90% we're looking for, we must do more application, more development of concept and application of higher problems. we have that going at every turn. the district was awarded a $3 million grant to work with all educators in the district to come to know the common core standards well and use them in classrooms and align our curriculum. we're looking forward to that effort. >> thank you. not only do we have assessments that we are adopting this year in math, but also the common core standards, and we have partnerships and professional development that we are doing in math to address this pattern for this trend. next is cst science. you will see a very positive increase, especially at the elementary science level, where we see 21% growth in this

the key is, how do you find common ground to move forward? and what i look for is, what can we do to help the american people get back to work, because that's what the american people want. >> let me ask you about the frustration out there and people very frustrated with the way the economy is moving right now. but at the same time, they don't see an alternative on the republican side. who in your party do you believe is theest candidate to win in 2012? >> we've got a lot of good candidates. one ll win the nomination and that's the one i'll support. as speaker of the house, it's not my job to tell the american people or republican voters how to think. there are a lot of good candidates and i wish them well. >> the president said last night people can't wait 14 months. are you prepared to go one on one with the president to knock out jobs and get this country moving again? >> i believe there are some areas we can find some common ground. there is a lot of work to do this fall, and i believe we can do what's in the best interest of the american
