just take a look at top line sales growth at prudential, michael kors and range resources. a lot of pointing to the upside when it comes toing looing at sales growth and the fact that we could be pushing higher ahead. i will point out there is caution when it comes to sales growth. at analysts point out when with you take a look at the dow jones industrials forecast for 2014 it's in our projected grow between 3 and 3.5%. pretty big numbers considering when you take a look the at q3 numbers that grew 1 and 2% and this quarter's numbers only expected to grow higher. maybe there is a little too much optimism bakesed into these forecasts. if you take a look at past performance over the past 12 months as some of these top growers were growing and economists it tell me we can continue to grow in the new year. back to you. >> okay. thanks, sheila. let's go to seema with the other side of the coin. >> the first warning sign could be the data with focus on the housing sector which has hit stumbling blocks because of higher home prices, exist hoping sales number does come out on wedn

what kind of resources or what advice is given to someone in that situation? >> well, for someone in shelter, there's a whole range in shelter, a whole range of services we can provide, including safety planning, and part of safety planning is economic safety planning as well. do i have all of the documents i need? can i get job training maybe and allow me to have more economic freedom? one of the tools abusers use to assert control over their victims is financial control and emotional control too. you would be nothing without me. you could never work. who would want you. so those are some of the messages that we help to counteract at safe horizon. >> as you're doing that to counteract, you have this scenario where that person is told, just leave. as if it is that simple as if it is as black and white as those words just leave. for some women, the time when they leave can be the most dangerous time in their lives. there are some women in such terribly abusive situations that they say i know if i leave now, he'll kill me. for those women and others, let's help them find ways of improving their safety and having str

range missiles? why are they developing them if they don't have a weapons program? >> nuclear energy, for that matter. a nation awash in petroleum resourcesould love the agreement to have gone even further, but the agreement did achieve a very significant objective. it rolls back all their 20% enriched uranium. it puts a freeze on the iraq heavy water reactor. these are things that would have not happened over the next six months if we didn't have this interim deal. we'd still be trying to see if we could get to a final deal in six months. the difference is all this would be going ahead at pace. so look, i think it's positive. the most difficult challenge i think at the end of the day to getting to a final deal is iran will have to come clean on its weapons work. and that, of course, will run contrary to its entire story, its entire narrative and whether they will be willing to do that. it's going to be tough. >> do you see any sign that this could be transformative in other areas, syria, for instance? >> you know, it has that potential. obviously, we've had a poisonous relationship with iran for decades now. there are very real internal
