every 365 days plus 5:49 and few odd seconds. that means that every year we have to compensate for one quarter of a day. after four years we have to add one more day. so when did we figure out the need for this extra day it? was bay back in 46 bc. julius caesar realized the calendar wasn't working. consulted with an astronomer. they realized what the egyptians had already discovered. we need an extra day every four years to stay on track. so he instituted the julian calendar. even that wasn't quite right. the solar year is .242 longer, not even .25. when we add a full day every four years we are left with surplus of 11 minutes every year. that can start to add up. finally in 1582, pope gregory

instituted the gregorian how is it different? i will let michio kaku explain. >> 11 minutes difference in one year, builds up. the pope had to intervene the calendar one more time. so for example in the year 1600. divisible by 400. a leap year. in 1700. 1800. 1900. no leap year. year 2000 there was again a leap year. >> lot of tweaking. >> that's right. >> luck we he have digital watches to keep track. it turns out, accounting for leap years is difficult for traditional watches. >> this watch has a wheel that turns one revolution every four years to accommodate the extra day. >> some body engineer a wheel. that turns once every four years? >> many of us have to adjust the gauges, end of february.

calendar does that for you. >> to see how it works. we looked at one under a microscope. >> it is a cycle of 48 months for the leap year. we have a 48. 48 lobes. each lobe represents a month. >> reporter: it take is a year and a half to construct one watch. it will set you back around $85,000. you have four years to save up for the next leap year. around the world, leap year traditions vary. in greece, it's bad luck to get married any day of the leap year. up north. february 29th. the own day a woman can propose marriage to a man. for daisy, her birthday tradition has always been a nice dinner with family and friend. but this year was different. after all, it's not every day

this leap year morning. if you've haven't left for work. consider just saying home. if you are a salaried employee your company is getting an extra day of work from you this year, for free. when the engines failed on the plane i was flying, i knew what to do to save my passengers. but when my father sank into depression, i didn't know how to help him. when he ultimately shot himself, he left our family devastated. don't let this happen to you. if you or a loved one is suicidal, call the national suicide prevention lifeline.

before the confrontation became physical. morris said the agent grabbed him by the neck and put him in a chokehold. >> i am dealing with some real sleaze bags up here. believe me. i think the press is worse, they're worse than the politicians. trump makes a sport of criticizing reporters and makes it clear protesters are unwelcome. >> out. get out. out. >> trump's momentum towards the gop nomination brought a sharper edge to his already raucous rallies. marco rubio complained that gutter rhetoric makes headlines. >> what an indictment on the state of political debate in the country today. >> reporter: yesterday, rubio himself doechve into the mud. >> you know what they say about men with small hands. you can't trust them. you can't trust them. >> reporter: rubio is hoping for strong enough finishes tomorrow to stay competitive in the delegate count. ted cruz is banking on a victory

law center which tracks hate groups says the super pac was started by white supremacist american freedom party, trump's rhetoric is a coded appeal to racists. >> the idea that any mildly educated person in this country could not know what the ku klux klan was is perhaps one of the most ludicrous statements we have heard in mainstream politics in many years. >> reporter: the super pac backing marco rubio put it this way. >> trump refuses to denounce the kkk. think about that? for president. >> donald trump has been heavily criticized before, scott, and so far, his support for the nomination among voters in the party of abraham lincoln has held firm. >> dean reynolds reporting for us tonight. thank you. >> the polls are pointing for a very good super tuesday for hillary clinton. here is nancy cordes.

her likely race against the republicans. >> one advantage i have is they have been after me for 25 years and i'm still standing. >> reporter: the state department is releasing its final batch of clinton's 30,000 e-mails tonight. but, scott, that does not mean the saga is over. the fbi is still looking into her use of a private server and a federal judge wants some of her top aide to testify about it. >> nancy cordes with the democrats. thank you.

0% parmesan the company had a problem. >> the product that they were marketing which was on the label was not what they were selling. >> reporter: the u.s. attorney brought the case against the company after an fda inspection in 2012 found the parmesan was a mixture of cheaper cheeses. like swiss and cheddar. and in one case, an unknown ingredient. >> advertising it as parmesan and romano and putting something else so supplier could make more money. that's clearly fraud on the consumer. this was fraudulent in your view? >> yes. >> reporter: we found fraud might not be the worst of it. these fda record show finished cheese was stored in the unrefrigerated room which could cause back tear yer bacteria to thrive. the company found listeria in its production area ten times. but castle continued to produce and sell its cheese to stores

that might be troubling enough. if we didn't also find record from the pennsylvania department of agriculture which inspected castle around the same time as the fda. those record tell a very different story. in june of 2012, state inspector david trotter wrote-- the plant continues to be in excellent condition. i appreciate the plant management and the quality work they do. his glowing reviews continued until august 2013 when he left the department of agriculture for a new job. director of quality control at castle cheese. >> i'm with cbs news. we asked trotter to explain reviews of castle but he declined. castle cheese is no longer on the market. the company filed for bankruptcy in 2014. the fda will be rolling out new food safety regulations, the fda tells us designed to get state and federal inspectors on the
