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

even if we are different in many respects, we have a lot in common. there are not many things that cannot be settled over beer. besides the marquee, a love of beer is something that they both have in common. >> there is plenty of beer in the popular holiday destination on the northern coast, where the belgian set aside their differences as they enjoy the surf and the sea breeze. >> at the coast, this is a multi-lingual. this is a holiday destination in flanders, to the north of belgium. the locals speak flemish among themselves, but they will switch for visitors. >> these are good languages. >> so i hear. although the political risk is deepening, the locals feel at one with each other here, for this summer, at least. >> the only thing i am interested in is what the weather is going to be like. right now this is typically belgian but this does not stop people from going to the beach. there are the cabana to shelter in and the flemish beach houses. >> some people have a little kitchen in there. this is illegal but no one checks. >> people love to mark t

meanwhile of us are members joining forces to save their common a common economy while east asia is hopping it hasn't bailing out the single currency poland was supposed to adopt the euro next year but those plans are now on ice where it was so eager to stay out of the crisis. while parts of europe have been teetering on the edge of economic abyss both of them has remained stable in the storm along with this currency. there is a widespread belief in the country that being outside the euro has helped keep poland out of trouble here. if we were part of the eurozone then we would have been obliged to help countries like greece and portugal how can we help out someone else without solving our own problems it's almost guaranteed that prices would go up that we join the euro zone which would damage my business recent opinion polls suggest that more than sixty percent of balls want to. to keep their own currency a dramatic turnaround from just a few years back a few years ago the euro was seen as the euro club scene and something very exclusive polls aspired to they wanted the country to join the

do you ever lie awake thinking, we have a problem. >> there is so is a common-sense middle ground. where folks are over testing or saying that test scores should be the only valid elative tool, i think that is -- evaluative tool, i think that is crazy. -- of ways to measure how much students are improving each year. teachers have been asking for that. we of two extremes. one where we and no idea if students are learning. that makes no sense to me. if you're putting 100% of your eggs on testing, that makes the sense to me. but when you're looking at teacher development, leadership and a host of measures just as you do in any profession, that makes a lot of sense to me. this is a change, and that change can be hard, but i think it is the right thing to do. i think teachers have a great sense of relief about the waiver package. i have talked to thousands of teachers around the country. not one has said we do not want to be held accountable. they want that accountability to be fair, and it has not been. much of the frustration is about the current law, which we have not fixed. a waiver

to ten times as common in countries like britain and the united states compared to more equal countries like some of the scandinavian countries or perhaps is there a direct line of causality can you say that the inequality caused the social problems or could it be that countries with a lot of social problems for other reasons demographic reasons or historic reasons or recent wars or whatever then end up as very unequal countries. we are number of cases we know the causal ordering. people have done a lot more research than we cover in our book but we also know some of the processes involved for instance why violence becomes more common in morny societies is not because the poor start attacking the rich but because we all judge each other more by status. things like disrespect our the most common triggers to violence loss of face humiliation and people become more sensitive to that when status becomes more important but in other cases i mean the reasons why death rates are higher and more unequal countries there seems to be partly that social relations become more stressed or you know com

market currency. >> we have decided to work on strengthening the euro as our common currency. germany and france are committed to this end. it is obvious that the european union must integrate financial and economic policy making. >> they called for a limit on euro zone nation debt. to be chaired by the european council president. >> we hope that the 17 member states of the euro zone will commit to blighting balanced budgeting in to their constitutions by the summer of 2012. >> they both spoke out against the euro-bombs, speaking for a tax for financial transactions. >> is it conceivable that all of the 17 nations in the euro zone would agree to these types of proposals? are they enough to address the debt crisis? our correspondent has been covering the paris talks for us. >> it is conceivable that the other members could agree to those proposals. not only was that like this in the past, with france and germany coming up with an idea, but also, i think, all of the measures and proposals that were made, they were already within discussion. so it is not completely out of the blu

this is common sense. i am just saying we have oversight over the work you do. mr. chairman, i want to compliment you and i want to say to the commissioners who are ready and willing to act in a timeframe of 90 days, thank you. if we do not do that, we are not going to see people supporting nuclear power. i take an opposite view of my friends on the opposite side today. the more you convince people you are doing your job, the more they will be comfortable with nuclear power. if you give me answers like i have to wait, i cannot tell, and then you have a situation where it takes nine years to put in the last safety measures? that is ridiculous. as long as i'm sitting here and i have a voice, i will continue to call you before us. i could really get used to this. you need to know how important the work you do is. to the safety of the people, first and foremost, and to the future of nuclear energy, secondly. senator sanders. >> just a few questions. chairman jaczko, some of my republican colleagues have suggested that you have initiated a coup on the nrc. you are runnin

the most common is dune sand. it is nothing but rocks that has been worn down from the sierras and deposited along the beaches. the wind blew that dune sand over most of the city. it is this mustard color. on the avenues, it is very thick. it can be up to 400 feet thick. as you moved south across slope boulevard, that is the tolar foundation. it was named after the first to score every in -- after the first discovery in the cemetery. the man was out there and noticed this material was unique. he started mapping it. he traced it all the way up to slope. the dune sand generally has the consistency of sugar. it is fine grained sand. it is usually loose. it is poorly graded. the colma foundation can be the same stand but it is denser. it may have to play in it. it is much stronger. it is an excellent supporting material. it is up to 10,000 years old on the dunes and. the colma is 40,000 to 60,000 years old. in some areas, it may be as old as 130,000 years. as you move across the city and get to the border, you get to

get no worse as we get warmer weather and bigger crowds, and if they start serving on union street common and it is out of doors on union street, and it is a cavern. if they did their sound check in the evening at about 10:00 tonight or even 8:00 at night, you did really high readings on noise pollution. anbar music is not lullabies, and that kind of solution is very hard for families to have in their ears during today and particularly at night. if there is some way of controlling the noise, it is not that we wan do not want the businesses to succeed. i want them to succeed as well, but they must keep the neighborhood all live as well, and property values are another question when you talk about noise pollution. >> would you care to say your name? >> beverly, and i live on filbert st.. >> next speaker please. >> my office is across the street from the brickyard. againsi spoke before on how lout is, and i also heard some reports, and i want to say even their own measurements show that the noise level was high, and a dining experience for 10 people should not equal our discomfort. nobody is

what do they have in common? >> i guess that makes me move into olmstead and says "the new yorker" folk like central park was in a common yard along with so many other new yorkers in overtime sort of got a deeper appreciation for the park in the tour guide dedicated me to resume moved out to forest hills gardens and the like made that such a was staring me right in the face. and it actually does connect in a strange country to greenspan a major and that is a really vague subjects it to a whole bunch of things and to be several things very well. in the case of greenspan music professional jazz musician, part of the inner circle before he became fed chairman in the case of ralph nader, a writer, a lawyer, consumer advocates and then with a presidential candidate. so i like that kind of book and olmstead of course was sort of fields in the figure that regards. he did so many things in several of them very, very well. >> i think that's the thing that comes out so well in your book your olmstead has always been called

be there. 50s, 60s common around the beaches for saturday.as you see any sunshine, just little peaks, otherwise, 81 degrees in san jose. average high temperature is 83 degrees. the 7-day forecast, we'll start out with 5 days first. one day at a time. temperatures steady throughout the period. high pressure wants to build in, providing us with warmer temperatures by tuesday, wednesday, we'll have to watch that very carefully as numbers could actually soar into the low 90s. drizzling and cloudy conditions along the coast. sunshine inland. that's your pinpoint forecast, enjoy your day. >> thanks, roberta. >>> are you worried about your kids? there's a new app for that, straight from the fbi, an iphone app you'll hopefully never have to use. it allows you to store photos, vital info and physical descriptions of your kids so you can quickly e-mail police if they're missing. some say it could create a false sense of security. >> just because a parent has an id kit or an id app, they think "my kid's safe, they're invincible now." when the reality is

. >>> another risky and illegal behavior is even more common than marijuana. we have been reporting on teenage drinking. this week, jenna has advice on how to say no. >> reporter: ask teens who've seen their friends drunk and i bet they can tell you a story or two. >> i have a friend who jumped into the fountain by the museum. >> he started basically going around the streets screaming. >> i saw my friend take many shots of tequila and got into a fight with a toilet and broke it. >> reporter: some of these stories may sound funny, but they're part of a serious problem. >> i talk to teens all the time about behavior that they regret or they're really embarrassed by because they've been drinking. i've talked to a lot of younger teens who say they actually feel very intimidated when they go to parties with older kids. so i recommend even ninth and tenth graders especially not hanging out with seniors. sometimes seniors are beginning to experiment and talk about issues that ninth graders aren't really ready for. >> charlanne zeff counsels teen drinkers. she knows t

place in these papers, pictures of naked and half naked women were common place and it's easy to see how average citizens could be troubled by this material and it was constitutionally protected and the supreme court was very clear on this. in order to be declared legally obscene, work has to be -- it has to appeal to prurient interests and it has to affront community standards and utterly without redeeming social value and all these papers -- first of all they were so widely read it was hard to suggest that, you know, violated community standards in every case but they were also, you know, in the broadest sense -- they were social and political papers. they dealt with social and political concerns and so they ought to have been immune from these obscenity charges and that was not the case. i would say that, you know, obscenity and harassment of street vendors was the main tactic that people tried to use to stifle these newspapers. i could not find a single example of a paper that had an obscenity conviction that was upheld. you could see how this could be distracting to papers and a

even if he cldn't enact it rit now, if our elected leaders would agree to try to reach common groundand would agree to base, as i said a moment ago, to base their decisions on facts and analysis, that in itself could create a better environment, and that environment becomemuch safer to do an additional stimulus at the end of this year, along the lines we discussed before, an extension of the payroll tax, extension of unemployment benefits. >> rose: that's political lievi? >> the blocks are complicated. i do think it would be, but -- >> rose: he took note of that i. >> yeah. i saw it. i try to keep up. i watch this stuff every day. >> rose: have you talked to the? >> i made a decision, i wasn't going to speak to people who spoke publicly about speaking to me. ever since they've been in office, i have -- >> rose: i'll take that as ayes. >> i wouldn't take it as a yes. >> rose: okay.i wouldn't take is anything. if you asked me if i spoke to the person who guards the door at the white house, i'd give you the same answer. oig have you talked to people who advise the president? >> i'd give

being at able to add to their swiss bank accounts is actually a good thing but it's common sense so when it comes time to cut their deficit the french went after the excess but fact cats who were living large while the countries rest of the country was struggling and the rich in france were willing as their letter noted and the public finance deficit and the prospects of the worsening state dept threaten the future of france and europe and when the government is asking everybody for solidarity it seems necessary for us to contribute as in they realize there's not much quality of life in being rich while living in a poor country a sentiment that most billionaires here in america like the copra their oligarchy don't appear to understand and america is quickly devolving into a poor country with more and more than forty million people in poverty depending on food stamps and fifty three million people unable to get basic health care because they don't have insurance thirty years of reaganomics is turning us into the world's largest third world nation. and there's one obvious way to turn

he brought to life the idea that americans working in common efforts would provide for the general welfarewith greater justice and security. what constitutes a historic revolution and why does the work of roosevelt qualify? a revolution changes the way people live. not for lifetime or superficially but in significant ways for generations. this roosevelt accomplished. so did the original revolution led by george washington. it introduced a genuine democracy to the world for the first time and created a new nation dedicated to the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. skeptical european ruling classes laugh that the americans and they also worried. they laughed because they thought the americans foolish peasants. called them farmers in america. should vote and hold office? that was simply not a reasonable 18th-century european idea. the enlightenment wanted rational government. very difficult to find and enlightenment thinker who was a genuine democrat. the idea that peasants should participate in government was not an enlightenment idea. they worry because they thought the american ex

the poorest people that the markers of status of most and most common so what people are taking what pops that the cell phones and the sneakers and so on the right brands all the things that are as i say separate the headlights on the lives of the celebrities or we have just about a minute left a. very important question how do developed countries resolve this issue or reduce inequality successfully but we thought the quake clearly two quite different approaches and there are some countries like france and sweden which start off with a very large difference and then redistribute it high taxes and benefits and there are also countries like japan which start off with much smaller differences or no means and have learned tax since it looks to us as if you don't it doesn't matter how you get your greater equality as long as you get there somehow and for instance new hampshire is a society it is a state that becomes more equal because it has smaller differences in earnings to start treatment so it has very low capsis mcchrystal as well oh. and they think that basically own wowed with the

that is the most common question that i have. there is a lot of common questions that are typically asked about the book but i want to break from the norm to give anybody who has a question the opportunity to ask just to see if i could field in the answers anybody may have. >> what did you have to go through to get the book released? >> considering a was the first operations officer ever authorized to write a book while on active duty, we were bedded from public affairs from all safety offices with the special forces group. so we have approval release from the unit to all the way up to the top. it is neat that i just returned one month ago from my fifth appointment to afghanistan. to come home to have a book coming out is very special. >> the process of the book? >> your review? >> the review relieve took about a month and a half and went through it pretty thoroughly. but this is really starting to resonate that it is about victory. for what we could do on the ground i was just lucky enough to be a part of it. it was a small grou

the guiditta tavani arquati school in rome faces the increasingly common problem of falling rolls. [woman speaking italian] [translator] i came here eight years ago, and at that time, there were three classes for each year. the large fall in the birth rate has meant a drastic reduction in the number of classes but an increase in the number of teachers to teach specialized subjects. we are therefore, in fact, much better off from a teaching point of view. we don't know what it will all lead to. we aren't told very much at all. there is talk of amalgamating a certain number of schools so that some would be abolished altogether because, obviously, the cost to public funds is too high. some children would have to travel quite far to get to school. they would no longer be able to choose the school they prefer. well, in the immediate future, we certainly won't be having any second-stream classes. second and third streams for each year are totally out of the question. the worst predictions indicate the closure of schools or at least the reduction of certain schools. certain buildings woul
