johnston succeeds in repulsing mauer's attckack. mauer is getting ready to launch another strike. but then the order comes from general sherman to stand fast. mauer is to hold his ground. johnston's army has survived to fight another day. however, unbeknownst to sherman and johnston, they fought their last battle. -- battle at bentonville. now johnston falls back to smithfield, having failed to defeat even slocum's wing. general sherman is more than happy to let johnston escaped his grasp so we can continue on to goldsboro. sherman's army reaches goldsboro on the 23rd. a few days later, sherman makes a trip to city point, virginia to meet with general grant. sherman does not say this in his memoirs. it does not turn out too well for him. he has two items on his agenda when he goes up to city point. it's not about peace terms. item number one, he wants grants to postpone his offensive so that sherman will have time to march his army into virginia to join in the grand assault against lee. grant was no part of that. yes decided he wants the army of the potomac and the army of the jam

joe mauer a two-run yoke.lies fall 7-1. >>> when chip kelly took over control of player personnel no one knew what changes he would make. demarco murray byron maxwell and kiko alonzo are now here. the current birds certainly hope the changes pay off. >> everyone know there was a chance we would lose mack in free agency. that's the way it goes unfortunately. and then the trades you know chip and the front office have shown they will do whatever they can to improve the team. >> you never know what is going to happen. but obviously there was a lot of action and you know i'm hopeful that because of this we're going to be a better team and these are the moves that chip and the people in charge felt like needed to be made. >> the eagles have more moves to be made. >>> in the ncaa tournament kentucky held off notre dame. wisconsin beat arizona. those two will play in the final four. that's sports. we'll be right back. >>> celebrating life and raising funds for a cure. nbc 10 was at the union league of philadelphia fo

once he was tapped matt mauers was subpoenaed in new jersey. he was right in the center of that scandal. he played the role of asking for the endorsement. right now the working political theory is that endorsement, and the guy saying no to the request for that endorsement is what kicked the whole thing off. because that scandal is unresolved, obviously that guy at the center of the scandal cannot be the face of chris christie. he can't be the face of the christie campaign in new hampshire. turns out he is. apparently there was no plan b. chris christie just hired the bridgegate subpoena guy. the guy at the center of the alleged bridgegate plot. he just hired that guy to return his new hampshire operation. apparently there was no plan b. there was no other idea. that might have been fine if bridgegate were case closed but the case is open at the attorney's office in new jersey and it looms over his political prospects. so yeah, there is the money thing with jeb bush getting all of his donors, there is the bridge problem. it is now front and cent

this is a nightmare scenario you're laying out, it is a total night mauer that after eight years -- nightmaret years of barack obama we'd have brent warren. i don't think it's going to happen. i think people are looking for the opposite of obama, someone with experience, who beliefs in the free enterprise system. this is a business show, why can't we have a president who thinks that business is a good thing that companies are values, that there is value in our company that makes profit? i mean, everybody in this town that i'm sitting in thinks companies are evil, businesses are evil, profits are evil. stuart: maybe that will change. it sure has to in my opinion. stephen moore, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you, stuart. stuart: more on "the boston globe" which is indeed calling for elizabeth warren to run against hillary. that's the headline, boston globe "run warren run." charlie gasparino is here. this looks like -- you're smiling but it looks like the gips of a -- beginnings of a serious challenge to hillary's nomination. >> we should point out you'll never see the boston globe ed

hudson institute and it's a pleasure for me today to host a moderated discussion on "the hundred-year mauer," the book by michael pillsbury who is now senior fellow and director for chinese strategy here at the hudson institute. .. michael thinks it has outwitted the united states in the process. not long ago, i wrote a book on pakistan u.s. relations after having had the ambassador to the u.s. stifled magnificent solutions in which i make a similar argument. it seems everybody narrated washington d.c. here is my take is a foreigner with the united states and latin america. the reason is the americans always assume and they basically want the same thing you do. there's an assumption that is what they want so therefore they have a relatively simple world view. american foreign policy since america's preeminence after the second world war has been a staunch either a simple binary. who can we bomb? who can we take out to lunch? china is a unique country because it went from being a country that want on the two bombs listed to take out to lunch list. of course the lunch has become far more inte

. >> melissa, last mauer we told you about the stocks that got kicked out of that for that last rebalancees that actually got put into the dow. now, remember let's frim this discussion because with the dow industrials, you can see over the intraday period yeah we are still down on the day so far. over that time span between september 20th and 2013 in a year after that into 2014 the dow is up around 10%. that's something that you want to watch for sure. now, visa shares you can see during that same time span after they got added, again, we're up by 11%. they just performed in line with the overall market. not bad, but still just in line. if you take a look at some of the other ones as well take a look at some names like of course, we have like goldman sachs and also here you can see goldman sachs up by 11%, so just an inline performance, and then the other one there that went into the overall index was nike right? that was a bit of an outperformer. up by about 18%. it's not that all these stocks don't tend to do well once they go into the dow. they just maybe don't have as much momentum. r
