he appropriated the notion of common sense. he often spoke of his own ideas of standing up from his political wisdom or his advisors, but from the people's common sense. and he opened the way for a kind of -- as opposed to arrest wing populism, raping populist adoption of pain and common sense and back is therefore not the last sale online every appropriators. but the book was a bestseller this past year. so the incredible number of copies. >> professor sophia rosenfeld come in your view, was ronald reagan's adaptation of thomas paine purposeful? >> i think he recognized in pain very cleverly certain themes that continue to have a really good american residents, a kind of tamara will be sunny outlook. a sense we can do this. and in pain, a folksy quality that didn't have to necessarily be applied to the set of ideas that painted that could be adapted and used for a lot of different purposes. the interesting thing about popular that's a whole and commonsense is that it does not stand for any set of ideas. it's not an ideology th

why is that and what did you find in your study as it related to the kind of misconduct that was common? >> i think in order to get to that question, taking off on amy's story because i think it illustrates a common problem in prosecutors' offices around the country. but with what three simple reforms would do to help address that. that deals with the issues of transparency, accountability as you mentioned, jeff and the culture of prosecutors' offices. as both you and amy have said prosecutors are arguably the most powerful figures in our criminal justice system. they have a duty to protect the innocent and they also have a duty to convict the guilty and that powers that they have as you described, what charges to bring. what evidence to present? who are they going to charge with that crime? these are all extraordinary, enormous powers. and we give the prosecutors this power because we believe in our public safety. but along with this extraordinary power that we grant them, we believe that they are going to do so responsibly. and that's not what is happening in a lot of cases. you know,

tell me i am wrong, but i have not seen it anywhere the middle schools to have common planning time. i just submitted his proposal in terms of continuing next year, that it will be cost neutral. this is just a proposal to have olague start so our students start coming to school -- a late start so our students are coming to school later. that will be the common planning terms so all of our teachers can be at these formums, and i have had these conversations with my principles. with a common planning time, that has helped with meeting those performance targets, and because teachers have less luxury of time to really sit down and discuss the police student work and what strategies have been affective -- discussed student work and what strategies have been affective. >> i would just add that if you think of a metaphor of our creek and there is a rope in the middle of that creek and there is and not in the middle of the road, if you pull the rope to one side of the creek to give planning turned to one group of schools, you are not going to be able to give it to other types of schools, so

>> i am here with common. how you doing? >> what's going on? how you doing? >> you're known as the conscious rapper? how important is that to you and how important do you think that is to our kids? >> jon: well, i guess that explains fox news.com's slogan, shhh, fox news doesn't realize we're here. [laughter] i mean, for god's sake, this two-time, grammy-winning, vegetarian's invite to the white house has the twitterverse very upset, and by twitterverse, i don't mean people on twitter. i mean twits, who took the time to ignore common's entire body of work, save for one poem he wrote in 2007 that they appear to misunderstand. >> burn a bush because for peace he no push no buttons. >> no weapons of mass destruction, how can we follow a leader when this is a correct one. >> my uzi weighs a ton. >> he's talking about popin' guns and i got the black strap to make the cops run. they watching me, i watching them. >> whoa, whoa, whoa, when we roll together with a strapped gun, we're going to be rocking them to sleep. that sounds like killing cops to me. >> whoa, whoa

gary herbert wants to sell his state off the highs over better we see in the final days of america's commons and the g.o.p. have started a new battle the war on arts it's a nice deal you take i tell you how their new plans to bring back the story are those. earlier this week we commented on the highlight of the comments of florida congressman dennis ross who suggested that utah should sell off huge tracts of its public line of private corporations to solve our nation's fiscal woes it could put a congressman from florida would think twice about selling another state what they should do with their caught with lands and you think that the governor of utah would tell ross to go mind his own business. but that's not what happened and said utah governor gary herbert loved the idea is that he had to say about a news conference yesterday. i think it should really worth exploring i don't think we're going to you know our national parks and some of those pristine areas because a lot of land could be privatized and helped reduce the deficit so is this the beginning of the end for our commons in america

it is the business of somebody else to look after this or that and so the common cause imperceptibly this case of this is if this is over two thousand years ago we have this is and keep in mind it was that you know democracy comes from de most which is greek i mean the greeks invented becomes a democracy of the commons and we're seen this now being systematically been dismantled and you look at the commons that can be converted into profit for example roads forests parking meter subways water sewage fire and police of all of these by the way have been subject to proposals by conservatives or objectivists or libertarians that may be privatized schools the government itself like the state of michigan as i was just talking about where the governor comes in and says a you know we're going to just throw out the city council and take over the city about an hour you know a guy working for me is going to do medicare they want to privatized medicare hey there's a there's a lot of money to be made there social security two point six trillion dollars trust fund lots and that off to our to the b

. >> unlike judge our common and the judges in dept. 43 j judge bauer -- unlike judge bauer common the judges in department 43 are borden. there is no one to make objections or advocate for the people who go to these courtrooms, because they have never had them there. there is no lawyers, so what happens is i go into the courtroom, and i hide behind a broad-shouldered deputy so the judge does not recognize me, and i listen and watch. the judge comes in, and everybody rises, and the judge goes through the speech she gives to the defendants who have been waiting all weekend in many cases to get out because they are there for public intoxication or failure to appear for a warrant, so they have been picked up on the weekend. i will exaggerate. she comes up and goes, you are here charge, and you have the right to go to counsel. i will do the deal for you right now, and if you want a public defender, you can get a public defender. let's go. then what happened is a long line of guilties. guilty, guilty, guilty -- incontinent -- not guilty. no continent. guilty, guilty, guilty. i am an amateur

i would like to have the kind of reality filtered hood over this plan so somebody tells me what common planning time looks like, what we think adequate resources and support looks like and what we are providing to try to meet those things we described, even though our resources across the board -- i hesitate to call them inadequate. they are shameful and getting worse. i do not mean to be critical, but how can we really understand what we are working on for these things, when the reference is something i know does not exist and less of it is going to exist in coming years. in order for everybody to understand what we are trying to do and how we think -- what small steps we are taking with a shameful resources we have, we need some different language or brown fat, rather than adequate for we are an -- language around that, rather than adequate. tell me i am wrong, but i have not seen it anywhere the middle schools to have common planning time. i just submitted his proposal in terms of continuing next year, that it will be cost neutral. this is just a proposal to have olague start so our

supervisor avalos: the most common ways that one will break down? >> the most common is someone puts something in their that does not belong. paper or some other kinds of calling. the biggest issue is someone putting something into the slot. not allowing anyone else to put anything into that leader. supervisor avalos: the meters in the program, do they have other common things? i have had some difficulty at some of them. others are fairly straightforward. >> i think that that is one of the things we are seeing. the sensitivity of the meters, the credit cards, we have had similar complaints. there seems to be a jiggling of the card in some of the meters. this is why a pilot is so important. if you do want an upgrade program, we want them all to recognize credit cards affectively. the meter being tested right now is the only single space meter. vendors are working to figure out what is causing this sensitivity. hopefully that will be resolved by the time there is procurement. supervisor avalos: ok. supervisor mar: thank you for the proposal. i know th

that could be a common purpose. ron williams suggested somehow a common purpose is aspirational or, to use charles's turn, a dream. what has been poetic about this is this aspiration to do best for ourselves, to improve ourselves, to live up to certain ideals and, sometimes, especially with someone like roosevelt, to take that to the world. my question is really what the panel thinks about the possibilities of those things as the source of poetry but also how they would work together. one is in working and one is out looking. looking and onerinward- is outward-looking. >> you can take the idea of a city upon a hill. since the dawn of a chin athens bridges since ancient athens, -- since the ancient athens, they have been building a model paired with a degree would agree that we have a good one. the congress of vienna -- the world has a terrible tendency, the world of nations has a terrible tendency to try to implode from time to time and disintegrate. when that happens, it is a veritable that horrifying situation. it

i will place them in the library of the house of commons. waiting times went down last month and he ought to have the guts and the courage to correct the record when he gets wrong. he asks about my health secretary perhaps i can remind him what his health secretary said. he said this week the general aims of the reforms are sound. that is what he said. he said earlier i have no problem with the broad aim of the changes and went on to praise them. i went on to see looking at this, it all reminds me of labour 30 years ago. they had a leader with the ratings of michael foote and he was being undermined by a man named healy. >> the makeover didn't last very long because flashman is back. but, of course, fleischman -- the thing is fleischman doesn't answer the question so let me try the question on him again. what committee explain why the chief executive of the nhs sir david nickolson wrote to nhs staff on the 13th of bringing after his so-called pause does begun and he said this, the nhs staff, and i quote, press on with implementation of the p

we are going to be implementing the common core curriculum in e.l.a. and math and making sure that all the middle schools are implementing the math assessments in the current school year. enhance post secondary opportunities for our students and such programs as a.c.t. explorer. and we are -- generation. number three, the use of assessments and other data to improve student learning and teacher practice is very important. we have a list of all the different informative and substantive assessments administered to our middle school students to individualize and differentiate instruction. and number four, emphasis our early identification, address student's academic needs. as students come into middle school, we need to make sure we know who they are. we need to look at all of their data, in a record that will help us to develop support plans for our students who need that support and they are called individual learning plans and that is already in place in the middle schools. number five, recognize that it is really important for our teachers and princip

by approving a common concept telecom. architecture of the future missile defense system with europe. which is see some progress now but with the pros and the process is cohen quite slowly at the moment. one of the reasons. is that we've proposed to agree and formalize that in a document that missile defense on the european continent with the will lose will also be a means of as a country. that any member states in the system. the title not russia nor any other european country and we have been told that this should not be formalized in a document. as this is supposed to be done not against russia that's against other threads you put you've got all the sense this is not been done against russia why not tell in a document that this is nails done with. anyone that i think this. is the partner law tends to formalize this and. require a certain explanation you. got currently receive are specialists working together exchanging exchanging arguments and information. becomes someplace else on how this or that's way out of the syst

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

, protecting common interests.that the israeli innovators help power computers, fight disease, conserve water, clean the plan at. store support for israel flows from the heart. it's not just what israel does, it's what israel is. [applause] now let me explain that. yesterday i had a great day. they let me out. sarah and i could actually go for a walk, and i have to congratulate american security services. they're a little more generous than ours. [applause] so we walked along the potomac, and we got to visit washington's majestic monreal to become a real. i read jefferson's the five words we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. if i read lincoln's immortal address, government of the people, for the people, by the people. now let me tell you why these words resonate so powerfully with me and all is really is. because they are rooted in ideas first by our people, the jewish people, the idea that all men are created in god's image, that no ruler is above the law, that everyone is entitl

we are going to need to restore common sense, american common sense to washington, d.c..i hope you will join our cause began to timpawlenty.com to find out more. >> a lot of people can check boxes and say they have conservative positions. i've led on every one from social conservative issues, life, marriage, and i've got the arrows in my back from the mainstream media to prove it. i've led on national security issues, sometimes against president bush on issues like the iran freedom support act. i've been out front on national security issues. out front with my former colleague jim demint on social security, medicare, welfare reform. i led on welfare reform. i was the one that carry the water on that. it is not just checking the boxes it is having the courage to lead. >> governor johnson. >> i'm an entrepreneur that ran for governor of new mexico promising to bring a common sense business approach to state government that everything was going to be a cost-benefit analysis. i got we elected in a state that was 2-1 democrat. we are on the verge of a financial collapse unless

>> so the argument about common is far from over. it's still heating up.wart has accepted an invitation from bill o'reilly to debate the issue. so was the white house wrong? or do conservatives have a fundamental fear or misunderstanding of rap and hip hop? joining me now to talk about this, tim wise, author of "color blind," and author of "the big bayback, the history of the business of hip hop" and robert watson, producer and grammy voter as well, all of them have been on the show before. when you hear sarah palin made that dated reference to -- does it seem like they're out of -- what is it? >> they're pulling bullets. i mean, they have nothing to go on. this is the cleanest rapper we have in the game. common sense is, i mean, he makes conscious raps. he speaks to the people. he's anti-violence and anti-everything. if he's bad, there's nothing left in rap. i mean, he's the best we've got as far as clean. >> robert, if you're in the industry, right, you're in the industry, this would probably be understandable if the white house had invited a gangster ra

canadians are collecting 308 members to the house of commons. prime minister stephen harbor, leader of the conservative party now has a minority government and hopes to cut 12 more seats in the commons to win a majority. here's live coverage from the canadian broadcasting corporation posted by peter mansbridge. >> and good evening to those of you in british columbia who have polls close with the news of the conservatives will form the next government in canada. still a play a minority or majority. when you look at the numbers its pretty clear that the ndp is heading towards what everybody has been assuming in this past week, which is a second place finish but puts the ndp for the first time in the history of this country in the offical opposition position. the liberals for the first time in their history, the history of canada will not be either first or second. at this moment, they are well back in third place now. these have all been finalized yet, but nevertheless, there are many other ridings the store to clear indication the conservatives a

when we have, and union -- one we have common union with a friend, a spouse -- i have common union with the people in here because it is 98% americans. that's more perfect union that the constitution speaks of makes my life better. the fact that politics enters into it, politics is how we order ourselves. i do not think it is a dirty thing to avoid. it is how we order ourselves. the issue of why it matters is because it goes to the fundamental need of human beings, and that is, this union with one another. when we have it, it is something that is almost transcendent. it is not material, but something we share in our hearts. it can be a very profound thing. i think what we all sense is that maybe some of that has been lost and we all miss it. >> i hesitate to open my mouth. i think our national purpose should be to be proud salesman of the democracy of our republic. we are getting salesman we americans. but to be a salesman is not by itself a proud occupation. you are trying to suck up to your customer a little bit. that we should not do during but we should be proud of what we have done

prosecutorial misconduct in terms of failure to turn over evidence is really probably the most common cause of misconduct. >> we have that issue here, so i want to come back to that. before i asked common you will have an opportunity to ask questions, -- before i asked, you will have the opportunity to ask questions. the next area i want to talk about are the courts and judges, and before i have shawn explain his experience with misdemeanor courts, where you just tell us -- he was described as a great judge, but he was violating everybody's writes everyday, and he was thrown off the bench. tell us that story. >> this is a story of a judge in upstate new york, and he is a judge in a place called troy, new york, which has historically been a beautiful day. -- beautiful town. he got the idea he wanted to help clean up troy. if you walk the streets with hank bauer, he is a celebrity. people are hanging out their windows, do you need an umbrella? he is that type of guy. i told him i was writing a book called "ordinary in justice," and you are one of the main characters, and he would pick u
