would be sending more troops to the caribbean more naval support in the middle of the war than to north america. the british ministry debated in the middle of the war in 1778 whether to even keep the army in america or pull it out and essentially go to the caribbean and defeat the french. because one thing is very clear -- the french war aims were primarily in the caribbean not in north america. which was part of the cause of the frustration with france's role by people like john adams because the resources were not given priority in north america. it was the caribbean. even at the outset of the war, the impact of this war was felt. this is sir william howell. sadly, the only member of british leadership of whom there are no good paintings. you always see this reproduced. commander in chief after bunker hill through to 1778, his father had been governor of barbados. he immediately sense for food and troops from the caribbean as he prepared to withdraw from boston and to invade new york. and the problems he had are very revealing. not only was there no food to be had only islands. they were star

is spreading across north america committed aggression adams also argued that it required constraint. when adams was suggested america was offered the opportunity at some took a to spread the republican values, spread liberty around the world. the greeks have gone into rebellion against the ottoman turks. and south america got a lot of rebellions against the spanish empire. all of these rebels sent envoys to the united states. they claimed they had read the declaration of independence, they're doing exactly what we have done and they requested the support and assistance and the money and the arms of the united states. they were wildly popular causes in the united states. everyone wanted to support them. in fact, in munro's cabinet everyone wanted to support them except for john quincy adams. john quincy adams told them and said so in several famous species -- speeches, we wish you well. america goes not abroad in search of officers to destroy. what explains this restraint? i would argue the same thing that explains athens desire to push across the north american continent, undermining

andrews: north america does take up a lot of co2. one reason that we've taken up a lot of co2, historically is that when the eastern part of north america was settled a lot of forests were cleared for agriculture. and those have been regrowing over the past 100, 150 or 200 years. and so those forests have taken a lot of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, but they're nearing maturity and so they probably won't be such a strong net sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide in the future. narrator: by increasing the number of tall towers, noaa scientists will enhance their ability to understand the rate that natural ecosystems are absorbing or releasing carbon dioxide. dr. andrews: we're really trying to develop a sampling network that will allow us to kind of keep our finger on the pulse of the biosphere continuously. so something that's sustainable and that we can use to monitor net carbon dioxide emissions for many years. narrator: taken together the programs at noaa's global monitoring division have revealed not only how quickly greenh

overseas, it would provide the pretext of a justification for any european power to intervene in north america. he also thought it was a distraction and waste of time for the republic. the most permanent thursday america could do is set an example of what a republic should do and growing abroad would be a distraction. and he said those who would council aggressive foreign pom si that the power of america was in its example, not in its ability to intervene in foreign revolutions abroad. and if america in fact wanted to provide this mission for the world about what a republic could do, it would do that best by restraining itself and focusing its resources at home. this leads to the second strategic goal of adams, which is national development, we one idea to set 'king up the long-term drivers of growth of the american economy. adams want the united states to become the most progressive nation in the world and would do this through investment investments in infrastructure, investments in new industries, and investments in what we would call today human capital through education. he promote when h

so as north america becomes more polarized over imperial policy, so did the city's tavens. the sons of liberty did their best to emphasize decorum and social unity but new yorkers knew drunken strife could threaten this socialability. at a january 1766 meeting broke up over some disagreement and political disputes in 1769 meant celebrations of the stamp act's repeal were held in two separate tavens that year. so in other words the sons of liberty even managed to fight among one another. when one group tried to extend an orderly courtesy, they debate the whether the sem saer should not be shown the way out of a window. so the emissary opted for the front door instead. not all resistance meetings ran smoothly nonetheless the sons of liberty seemed to have soeped a certain level of disorder. now, where conflicts get heated is between new yorkers and the british troops. taverns and disorderly houses often provided the fuel for such disagreements. when business was booming and new yorkers were happy with their role in the british empire interactions between soldaries and civilia

we in north america call it a spy. so when putin got to st. petersburg after the collapse of ussr, he didn't hang a photo of president yeltsin like everyone else did. he put up a picture of peter the great. that's who putin most relate to he does not relate to the modern failed politicians of russia. he wants to pick up where peter the great left off and take russia to a new level. so after putin consolidates the power from ollie gashings and takes control the transportation banking, media the politics within the nation putin now has to deal with external forces, first started with the rose revolution in 2003 in georgia and then the orange revolution in the ukraine in 2004. what is interesting about these revelations they were furnishedded by western forces from the ngos. george southerlies admits to funding ggos to bring down the satellite states around russia. so, what happens here? well 2004, you shen co wins the election and over six years -- i did business in ukraine -- the government of ukraine went forward without problems from moscow.

in other words there were , enslaved muslims in north america long before permanent english settlement began at jamestown in 1607. most muslims who came to the americas before 1850 arrived as estebanico did, as enslaved people mostly from west and central africa, but occasionally from north africa. most historians have not attempted to come up with a demographic analysis. one thought reasonably of the 12 .5 million enslaved people brought to the americas from west africa, at least several hundred thousand were likely muslim. many enslaved people arriving in north america would have been familiar with islam even if they did not identify as muslims themselves. michael gomez has noted that around 50% of enslaved people coming to mainland north america came from those areas of west africa where islam was either state-sponsored or associated with a culturally significant minority, reflecting the cosmopolitan religious lives of west africans who combined christianity, islam, and traditional west african practice in novel ways. the general problem is that enslaved muslims were an even more in

sales are up in north america and elsewhere. is it a good year and is it going to be a good year in 2015? >> things have gradually been creeping newspaper recent years. it's been a clichÉ to say that detroit is back. but detroit is back and is doing better than ever. in 2014 north america 16.5 million cars were sold. that is higher than any time since 2006, pre-recession pre-bankruptcy and those bankruptcies are all over. all the north america car companies did better except for ford which is retooling its operations as it comes out with some new models. so it's been a good day for ford and that introduced new models but a bad year marry barra, the ceo general motors said some trends going on right now are likely to bring increased sales. those are lower oil prices, better economy and then we're seeing more young and first-time drivers. so it looks like things could improve over the next year. the exception is europe where all of these companies are struggling to break even. >> just before i let you go, anything catch your eye?

now, here in north america we see spending down as much as 30 or 40%. it will be a global recession in the oil industry until crude prices and supply and demand become unbalanced. we believe it happens in the fourth quarter of this year. >> the other thing you're doing, you're saying you're going to buy stock, you feel like this is the time the stock is over-reacted. tell me about the possibilities of core labs being in the market when the time is right? >> correct, jim. all we have to do is look back to 2008 and the downturn in 2009. at that time core stock price went from $83 down to $30. we were aggressive buyers of stock. we were aggressive buyers of exchangeable modes that are trading well below par and we continued to pay our dividend. today we look at we increased our dividend 10% and have been aggressive buyers of the stock through last year. we'll be very aggressive this year from our free cash flow and also from our revolveing credit facility which we have just increased over the last several months. >> okay, i think this is important. the res

and you own a sawmill in north america as well.y you don't care that there might be slightly higher labor costs here. what is the advantage beyond that negative to the bottom line of your company? >> you see, the short-term, certainly it is a negative. it would be easier to close everything up, take our products to offshore. we would have higher margins. but long-term, i believe, strongly, it gives us a competitive advantage of controlling our destiny. and our business, 80% is custom business. customization gives us an opportunity to make products here in north america. we're ramping them up, which means, we have inefficiencies. having said this, keep in mind, our earnings for the quarter had an operating earnings of 9.5%, which is an industry high. for the six months, our earnings are up 8.6%, and our operating margin is at 10%. so we are doing well. liz: right now the market isn't doing well. we're hitting session lows. we don't want to ignore that at the moment. some of that has to do with the federal reserve saying don't count

the oil and gas we are producing in north america is already changing the global geo-political dynamic, weakening petro-dependent states like russia, iran, and venezuela and strengthening america?. domestic energy production is also good news for american families and small businesses because increased supply is reducing the price of gas at the pump and putting more money in their pockets. lower prices at the pump, down by more than 60 cents a gallon from a year ago, will have the equivalent effect of cutting taxes in the u.s. by between $100 billion and $125 billion, according to economists. that is a tremendous boon to the american economy because energy is a foundational industry. virtually every other industry sector depends on it and does better when energy prices are lower. the benefits of lower energy prices flow across the economic spectrum, but they especially help middle and low income households because those households spend a larger share of their budget on energy. in 2013, energy accounted for 27 percent of after-tax household income for families making less than $30,000,

call it for north america. what's your take? >> well, because the u.s.ates north america, i think that the drop in oil is a net positive. but from the point of view of the canadian economy and mexico, no question it's a negative shock. they are oil exporting countries. you know, but at the end of the day r it's not going to cause the canadian economy to go into recession, but there's investment implications here. look at market's expectations, they bring forward exceptions that when the fed raised rates, thereafter, the bank account raises rates. that's off the table. it's on hold a lot longer. >> do you think the u.s. fed's going to be on hold? we were just debating that in the last segment. >> well, it's amazing to see how market sentiment shifts dramatical dramatically, right? >> yeah. >> you saw at points markets up to april. you know, our view is in the fall, the fed comes off the sidelines. >> craig, a pleasure. thank you very much for braving the elements. you're used to it. california with worse weather. stealing that for later. we have breaking
