If we break aspiration and those who wanted to get on in life that means sorting out our welfare system and education because the most powerful Natural Resources we have are our people. I took the whole cabinet today to an Academy School in bristol to show the transformation we need in our Education System right across country.

Nicole 1. 2 billion share repurchase. They are buying back shares from the estate of a longtime shareholder. Here is a look at stocks this morning. Very busy. It was halted for news. There is the stock right now. Almost 134,000 a share. Of almost 2. 5 . Lets take a look at the Broader Market average. The dow is up five days in a row.

They say we are over the fiscal cliff, unless tax rates go up. The sign will come from the fed. We will know in the next 90 minutes. Former atlanta fed joins us now. How is the decision connected, do you think, to the fiscal cliff . It has to do with balancing risks. They do not want to risk the recovery that we have underway a
Small groups, families, large communities especially in the small swamp all over the south. In sheer numbers you know what to me is unique in that place in the resistance story is that they were unique in many ways. And even less underground. Also they added a special kind of a freedom. They raised their food and nobody else was. When they created a mentality to life in the white hegemony. When somebody would run away to the south which was two cities or when people would run away to the north to canada or for free blacks they all lived under the control segregated and discriminated against and there were things that they were not allowed to do. If only the maroons were and they created that alternative to life and the slavery south and in the free north. And what i conceive of that is also the fact that you know these ideals of voluntary separation, this is something that exists within the Africanamerican Community and you find that actually in many different forms whether its cultura

Some made baskets and they. That to free blacks as well as white people. One of the things that they. , that they. For word guns and ammunition. We are going to turn soon to open the floor to questions from the audience but i wanted to allow sylviane to do a little reading for the book so what he do that . One of the things that i think needs to be mentioned is is you know a maroon was not for everyone. It was difficult. It was a hard life. People had have to be very creative and selfconfident. They had to have extraordinary qualities to be able to survive in the wild and in some lived very well and some of them became folk heroes. You read the interviews and you see people who say they didnt have to work. They 1800better than we did. There were a lot of successes that they had. There are w
