achilles is such a fast runner, he gives the tortoise a head start. they each run at constant speeds: achilles very fast, the tortoise very slow. after a finite amount of time, achilles gets to where the tortoise started, but the tortoise will have moved on. it takes achilles a finite amount of time to get to the tortoise's next spot, but by the time he arrives, the tortoise will have moved on from there as well. and so on, and so on, over and over again, ad infinitum. despite what our senses tell us, zeno is telling us that achilles will never catch the tortoise. zeno's paradoxes were a big problem for the greek philosophers, and they did just about everything they could to avoid confronting the infinite because they based their arithmetic and their entire worldview on something much more tangible: geometry. their notion of the mathematical and the physical was intimately linked to the practice of measuring objects using arbitrary but finite units, like the length of a finger or the width of a palm. and as we do today, units like inches or centimeter

in the modern era, president clinton had to be carried to air force one after tearing his achilles tendon at greg norman's house in florida. the traveling press corps, miles away. most americans understand, the presidency is 24/7. presidents deserve time off beyond weekends at camp david. there is also something else at work here, historians say. be prepared to see a different barack obama in the second term compared to the first term. willing to do things that may reflect negatively on him, like playing golf with a controversial figure like tiger woods. >> it's true that if he had played golf with tiger woods during the campaign, it might have been interpreted differently. and anything was fair game or a source of controversy in a campaign. so, of course, he feels more liberated now to do something like that. >> reporter: the white house press corps only found out from the golf channel's tim rosaforte on twitter and then on air. >> to see them drive off to the first tee, the president behind the wheel and tiger in the passenger's seat, to play their first round of golf together. and by a

i don't think that the offense is going to be the achilles' heel at all. that was in lasthe is in a similar situation that i was leftlast year. it is just more comfortable as far as knowing who you are seeing. you know your personnel better as well in them sure that makes it easier for you to put people in the right place at the right time. >> it is easier for guys to hide. thank you we appreciate you stopping by and good luck when the game starts today and beyond that. the bulls are in ashton tonight and so are the black hawks. we will check them both out in just a minute. ♪ stir it, stir it, stir it up, stir it ♪ ♪stir it, stir it stir it up, stir it up. ♪ stir up a smile, with hershey's syrup. and...done. did you just turn your ringer off so no one would interrupt us? oh no, i... just used my geico app to get a tow truck. it's gonna be 30 minutes. oh, so that means that we won't be stuck up here, for hours, with nothing to do. oh i get it, you wanna pass the time, huh.

that has been their achilles' heel in the first half of the series and it will happen as time runs downity to take advantage of that will pass them by. they will simply run out of time. they have to start planning now and hope he has some bad races. >> as the riders prepare for their practice lap, they were not ready as they worked previously on the suzuki, it would be obvious james stewart would not be able to compete in the event. making his way out of cowboy stadium. >> frustration all over james stewart's face. your suffering a mechanical problem, can you explain what is happening? >> something happened to the clutch. it is not these guys fault, just a freak accident. it is a bummer, we felt good. i felt like tonight was my night. >> the gate would drop with stewart on the sidelines and the defending champ out front. >> try to come from the inside, will it be millsaps? it is. >> chad reed will come across in second. >> dungey sits in fourth. >> the victory here a year ago. >> cutting to the inside. so, davi millsaps, the points leader with the red number plate moves himself into sec

romans could contemplate the trojan wars and perhaps commission works that retold the story of mighty achillesand the sack of troy. a bust of the 4th century b.c. playwright menander conveyed its owner's appreciation of greek comedy. a silver cup depicting the labors of hercules could turn the conversation towards the ways of gods and men. greek philosophers, including epicurus who taught that pleasure is the beginning and end of living happily, were very much alive in the minds of cultured romans. but the romans copied, collected and imitated greek art for their own reasons. in greece artemis, goddess of the hunt, belonged in a public temple. a roman placed it in the privacy of his garden -perhaps an allusion to fields teeming with game evoked in these bronze sculptures. apollo, the god of learning, still brought light to the world -as a roman lamp stand. alexander the great, once master of the world, was commemorated in a bronze statuette. the powerful hercules became a garden ornament. the elite built substantial art collections. they also ordered reproductions of greek works that appealed

i was out for the year when i pull my achilles, overcame that.hrew my bicep, they said he was done for the year, overcame that, now we're world champions. they can call us whatever they want, but they have to put champions on the end of it. >> we're a tough blue-collar city. that's the way our games tend to come down to. i'm sure a lot of people were nervous, but we were like, this might be pretty easy, and then the niners get back into it and play great football and we had to grind it out. >> no question whether joe flacco will come back as the quarterback, probably one of the four or five highest-paid quarterbacks in the nfl. solidified his spot as one of the elite in the league. 22 of 33 performance with three touchdowns passes gives him 11 postseason touchdowns, one of the best postseasons in nfl history for a quarterback. that's why he is the super bowl xlvii mvp. from new orleans, dan hellie, news4 sports. >>> dan coming home after that man hug from torrie smith. meantime joe flacco celebrated his mvp with a big monday including a trip to d

also hanging over tonight's speech, the constant gridlock that has been this president's achilles heel. for weeks the president spent much of his time in public talking about gun violence and immigration. as the economy goes, so goes his second term agenda. he will refocus on the top concern. the economy and jobs. as the president prepares to give his speech, the unemployment rate while down from the high in 2009 remains at 7.9%. the gdp report is a reminder of ow fragile the economy is. 36% said they either were very or fairly confident in the president's ability to promote a strong and agreeing economy. they say the speech will return to economic fairness he will talk about. >> this country succeeds when everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share. everyone plays by the same rules. these aren't democratic or republican values or 1% values or 99% values. these are american values. we have to reclaim them. >> and the president will revisit themes from the reelection campaign outlining the plan to create jobs and grow the middle class. >> goals in receivering and educat

. >> he's got you at the achilles heel. >> you're talking about two sides that haven't talked to eachther. i'm glad they talked to each other today. they need to get together and work out some kind of an agreement. the president is looking for a compromise. he's willing to have some spending cuts. republicans don't want any revenue they only want spending cuts there's no way to compromise if one side doesn't give somewhere and that's the perfect place to start. >> because keith boykin is such a smart guy he picked up on my quote from boehner's press secretary. i'll read it again. republicans are open to closing loopholes as long as the savings are not used to finance deficit spending. i don't know what that means. any loophole closing should be accompanied my marginal tax rate reduction. i think you were saying if the republicans have another tax hike the party will split in two and destroy itself. >> not many republicans in congress are sweating the sequester. reckless rough spending reductions, some spending cuts are better than no spending cuts. and these reckless rough spending cu

the real achilles' heel is any time of inflationary scare, something with gasoline, oil, that's kindlf-correcting in a sense, because prices go up, demand will decline. so, yes, there's easy money out there, but if inflation comes in, if gas is too high, if the input prices are too high -- >> i want to bring our guests in, but let me asking a follow-up question. so far we haven't seen it. is it $4 a gallon, 4.50? let's say the national aaa, is there a dmz price beyond which the stock market craters? >> it's usually around $4 a gallon-ish. that's where it was in 2008 when it really started to impact on the stock market. so i would say that. as we get into the driving season it's also a function of disposal income. we thole that will be declines based on some of the tax increases coming in, but as a percentage of the disposable income, it could be 3.80, 3.90. how much do you see people ig noir angry at the hike of prices. on top of that, people are getting their tax refunds late this year. is that some kind of political witches' brew, that republicans can take advantage of? >> it can b

as for now, it is the achilles heel of the gatsby index. here's the bottom line.t appeal to aspirational consumers have the ability to rise above the indicators. that's why we've created this index to monitor it. with lulu lemon and now panera bread, starbucks and whole foods representing the high end plays that should be able to thrive when things get better. we're not endorsing the stocks. we are creating this index to keep track of them. we'll monitor it as the best way of seeing how different the rich really are from the rest of us. tom in wisconsin, tom? >> caller: hey, jim, thanks for taking my call. >> my pleasure, tom. >> caller: roundie's, i made some money on it and now it tanked. is it a buy again? >> no. this is one we went out with. we said it might be good and then we said it wasn't. we made a mistake. and you know what? we can continue to pay for that mistake, but the point is that unlike almost everybody out there, we owned it and said we got it wrong. it's still wrong. it was a mistake to recommend. i thought that things were better there than the

. >> this is the biggest reason why she gets unfavorable reasons, an achilles heal there over benghazido you think that's going to come back and haunt her if she were to throw her hat in the ring? >> i don't think so. i've been watching for the last half hour or so and the difference between when hillary clinton speaks and you just saw president clinton speak and the intellect and the commitment there and somebody like rand paul and the republicans doing these hearings, i think making -- really hurting the american party by these personal attacks, i don't think it's going to hurt her. i think should she decide to run for president, she's going to start with most republicans not voting for her. i think -- and her support will come from independents and democrats and the success of her campaign, to see if she can get moderate republicans. but i think as long as you're talking about this in the context of getting elected, keeping a republican from getting elected, hurting the republican party by being popular, she's going to have detractors. what's exciting for her is she can incite impac

but he says his evidence that executives encouraged illegal behavior was the bank's achilles' heel. >> they were going out of their way to cover their tracks. they would bring checks or sometimes they would actually carry money from one client to the next, all with the purpose of disguising and avoiding detection of large transfers of money. >> what did that information tell you? >> it was certainly surprising that there would be a unit within a major bank that would be behaving in that way. >> and there was? >> and there was. and we subsequently learned that senior officials knew about this. they knew it was wrong. they called it "toxic waste." but it was very profitable, and they didn't stop doing it. >> based on information provided by birkenfeld, the justice department and the irs obtained a court order demanding that ubs turn over records on the 19,000 americans believed to have secret swiss accounts. ubs then enlisted the help of the swiss government to try and negotiate a settlement, finally agreeing to pay a $780 million fine, cease its offshore banking activities with america

the consumer is the achille's heel of the compaeconomy. and i think growth will miss expectations. but i get optimistic when i hear about a $200 price target for apple as your prior guest suggested. >> doug, i'm sort of in your camp. i think it's built on sand, as well. but i think we're going to 1350. everything overshoots the upside and the downside. what's the right multiple and where do you think we trade down to? >> i think the fair market value of the s&p is, guy, roughly 80 or 90 points lower. i think it's being buoyed by investor sentiment, that has been elevated to levels that have a starkly coincided with significant market corrections. this morning, investors intelligence revealed the dif against shl between bulls and bears is the largest since june 2011. the spread is, like, 34, between bulls at 54% and bears at 22%. it's above the prior two highs of 2012 and april 2012. we began a 10% correction, september 2012, we began an 8% correction and during the summer of 2011, when the reading was as high as it is now, the market corrected by nearly 20%. >> right. >> so, i thin

there was no sense at all on that call that things are slowing and international is real achilles heelbility is shot the moment you don't bring up the mistakes and problems and say how you will address them at the top, you are just off the rails when you say a terrible quarter is a great one and a hideous outlook bodes well for the future. it was a head-scratcher. it was so bad, i wasn't surprised not one bit surprised when groupon out and fired andrew mason after the close today. talk about a "closing bell." sure enough the stock popped off the bell because that's what happens when you get rid of a delusional chief executive. instead of explaining how it can survive with down 30% same-store sales. as michael epstein said, this was a beyond worst-case scenario quarterly result. i think that the issue is not whether the turn is working but how it can still work and why it's not having an impact on the comp store numbers at all. i tire of hearing how this product line or that product line can make a difference. and instead i want to know how the company could turn off so many of the trad

and any other country in europe other than island and that's the achilles heel of europe. that i think is going to erupt in the next year, and i think that's the danger signal and just because they are not getting a lot worse right now doesn't mean that danger is not out there, any more than the sub crisis in 2008. nobody saw that coming in late 2007 where everything looked hunky-dory either. >> what about that, colin? >> i think it's fair to say that there are still risks out there and where it pains in the report to point out that the euro crisis is still the biggest risk we see in the economy. great to see we haven't seen any progress. consolidation managers are coming through as we might thought and actually you have seen adjustment in terms of the trade and current account imbalances in the likes of spain and portugal. have seen adjustment in terms of the unit labor costs and competitiveness issue which we know needs to be addressed in order to ensure long-term viability. not there yet. more work to be done, but we are seeing some progress. >> all right. we'll leave i

exports have been something of an achilles heel. is that anything to worry about? >> because of the data effect, i would not judge that, we need to wait for the march readings. we were comparing it to last year when activity was slower because last year the lunar new year fell in january. so the picture is not as fantastic as the exports for january show that. overall, china is growing at a steady pace. but the pace is about 8% right now. so people who are used to double digit gains and, you know, compare the manufacturing pmi now to what it was before the crisis should accept that china will grow around 8% the next year. the growth industry is too slow, but still, 8% growth is decent. >> we'll get the forecast for growth, as well. where do you think they are trying to peg that? 7.5%? leave them some wiggle room? >>. >> exactly. i think china will not change the growth target. precisely because their growth potential is lower right now and they're focusing on restructuring growth away from export and towards consumption. they cannot expect too much. and i think tha

yes, make sense at this moment, but there's at least one achilles heel, maybe two.the numbers you just mentioned, 39% of the handling of the economy. the economy at the moment is a little bit flat, but if, as in his first term, unemployment begins to go up over 8% again and i suspect it is, because the congressional budget office predicted 1.4% growth this year, which would suggest high unemployment, his approval rating is going to come down. second, the president has completely alienated himself from the republicans in congress and everyone said after that aggressive inaugural address he's going to need republicans at some point. this very day, chuck hagel's nomination is beginning to be in trouble because more republicans are willing to support that filibuster. if that hagel nomination goes down and with an unprecedented filibuster, it's going to damage president obama. >> do you think? do you think that people are paying close attention to hagel and whether they're going to hold it against the democrats and not the republicans? >> i think the president's approval

the reason cerberus got 51% of gmac, which was the moneymaking part of general motors, their achilles' heel -- general motors gave ford and gm junk- bond status in 2004 and 2005 and it kind of led to the chain of events where servers got a hold of gmac. cerberus was run by people from both the bush administration's, investors in managers. i think you should also be looking at them as well. guest: i think the caller raises an excellent point. these were complicated. when you look at some of the bailout and what came out of it, you have to look at the structure and the owners of structures that happen when the government forces restructurings, and as a result, new owners come out. cerberus was one of those. as far as their compensation, it does not fall under treasury's per view, which is really just the top 25 employees at the top companies themselves. you raise an interesting point. one thing i want to raise and make clear, we are conducting audits, reviews, investigations on anything related to tarp. and i want to just throw out our hite -- hot line information. we have a hot line of
