in the sixth century, evidence of the original church remain.i >> what are we seeing here,oo this mosaice're looking at the floor of the fourth century constantinian church. it's done in a typical byzantine style of geometrics and floral.he no depictions of people and animals of the out of the fourth century church what we see are pillars and this floor and that's about it. >> in the late sixing century, a roman emperorrusa rebuilt the church. crusaders expanded it andgs used it for the coronation of their kings.ho others fought at this holy place. the persians, the turks, most recently in april of 2002 when palestinian militants wanted by the israeli defense force built refuge here for 39 days. priests carried bodies ofed ten palestinians who were killed when the church came under fire during the siege. >> beautiful. it is beautiful. >> we're walking up to the main altar area of this church from the greek ogt docks tradition -- greek orthodox tradition. it is decorated in a way unfamiliar to us in the west. they have a beautiful screen with silver and gold depictions of the saints and t

each shipper was identified by a mosaic sign in the floor in front of his office.the sign may depict the cargo in which he specializes. these are wheat measures. or it could say where the shipper is from. this one is from turres, now sardinia. the elephants are a symbol of the subratans from libya. efficient transport and specialization brought ostia's economy to a high level of complexity, and surely had a profound effect on people's lives and the character of their city. that effect can be easily seen today in a living city, a city like fez, morocco. archaeologists have come to fez because the same high degree of specialization suggested by the ruins of ostia can be seen here in the flesh. the population and density of the old city of fez has remained the same since the 10th century. archaeologist david webster. the old city of fez had about 120,000 people for its total population. this would have been an equivalent of a population density of tens of thousands of people per square mile. now, the only reason why that was possible, especially in a nonindustrial con

it wasn't destroyed and to me the boston red sox world series championship is just a part of that mosaicon is like a neighborhood block party. it's not the new york marathon. it's not l.a. it has such a uniquely neighborhood feel to it. everyone knows someone who is running in the marathon. >> you sit on the curb and you watch. >> worst of 2013. what would you say? >> i think it could all be under the big rubric of the national football league. this is our most popular sport. the bullying was only one of many bumper cars in the nfl. this is a sport that careened from one crisis to the next in a way that has not been able to be contained by the sports page. these are front page stories whether you're talking about the concussion settlement, whether you're talking about more of the suicides that have taken place of former players, whether you're talking about the bullying scandal that you just mentioned, whether you're talking about the fact the question of the washington football team name was a question on "meet the press," the dallas cowboys/redskins game. the nfl has been defined in 20

for smaller countries, we are jeopardizing the beautiful mow sake that makes this country unique -- mosaic that makes this country unique and great. excuse me. we must elevate consideration of the safe act, which is a bad idea and a slap in the face to our immigrant history. additionally, we have to have an honest conversation about the relationship between legalization and border security. alloying those who are here -- allowing those who are here a or way to citizenship creating an obstacle course is not the way to go. we will never realize the true potential of this country if anyone in our society is held back from realizing their individual dreams. and relying heavily on our -- an economic-based immigration system will exclude many immigrants, creating yet another stratified immigration system, forcing people back into the shadows. that is why, as we look at the next session of the 113th congress, i ask my colleagues to take the opportunity to revisit these proposals, sans political pressure. sans the haste to get it done. and take a real look at how we can improve the lives of all am

and, of course, knowing this well, it's a mosaic of lots of dir warlords with different allegiance and two different al qaeda-related factions. saudis building up an islamist front, that's not al qaeda related. and you've got all of these, these people who really, who are the ones who started the protest movement, who feel completely orphaned by this turn of events. but even if the united states gave them a lot of weapons and certainly a lot of non-lethal aid, i don't think it would turn the tide for them. >> and fred, paint a picture for us, because you've been on the ground. talk to us about the infrastructure. how are people actually dealing and coping with all of the chaos? >>h. it's very interesting, because the infrastructure is very different depending where you go. completely destroyed in places. especially the front line areas hiding around damascus. to the north, places like aleppo, destroyed and getting more destroyed. if you go into places like downtown damascus and other towns under control of the opposition, it's almost like southern europe. the roads are very good, infra

. >> pop, mosaic, up 3%?ost from potash and in this space i would much rather buy a name. >> pop for deere, up 3%. tim? >> hopefully got it yesterday, 8 million buyback will supplant the 2005 issuance. this is a stock that's totally lagged. this market has been dead, and if you're buying it for the buyback, you're probably not going to be in it for long haul. sold this stock at 82, not happy about it, but as much as i loved this company, a great flor at 83. i'm not chasing this buyback. >> and we've got a pop here for gingerbread. the folks of bryan, texas have made their way into the record books, 39,000 cubic feet it would make even hansel and gretel smile. >> ginger bread fans can visit the house until doebz 14th with all the proceeds going to a local trauma center. we won't tell you where it is because we don't -- >> you like ginger bread? be honest. >> i do. i like ginger snap cookies better. >> i think where you're going there is who likes gingerbread cookies? >> don't be a hater. >> i'm not a hater. >>

our mosaic segmentation system reflects the entirety of the economic range of our economy. we don't leave out low income individuals. they exist within the economy and need products and services too. but the most frequent users of that segmentation, the economically-disadvantaged, senator, are typically government agencies and public policymakers who are trying to get a view into them. so that they can deliver them messages and marketing materials about public services they're eligible for. among the users of those are the west virginia department of health and human services, the massachusetts department of health and human services, the new jersey department of health and human services. they want to reach those people, let them know what benefits they're eligible for so that they can come and and get them. they also use this day to update address -- in this data to update address lists for their clients. >> you will admit, won't you, that if a state hhs so to speak will use that information, that's quite a different kettle of fish from a for-profit bottom line-oriented -

and you're putting that into these mosaic profiles. he said that's really horrific risk if you look at it from the perspective of the fourth amendment. you're doing this without a warrant without particular information. for the administration, this is a big blow. while the president has said he's confident he has the authority, the justice department has been putting on a foul court press to prevent any judge from reviewing these powers. well, this judge has. and he said you don't have those powers. >> so what happens now? had he pretty much put it on ice to allow the government to appeal. this could end up in the supreme court. how do you see that unfolding? >> well, this it is just the beginning. it's going to go to the united states court of appeals for the district of columbia. that court tends to favor police powers or at least national security powers. as does the supreme court. so judge leon's opinion is going to be put to the test. but this is what is becoming a relatively rare victory for civil liberties. civil libertarians in

it seems one off and you see the full mosaic and it becomes thematic.ompanies are emblematic of a huge undercurrent at the moment. buying competitors to raise margins and gaing market share. white wave bought earthbound farm and the acquisition is immediately accretive. this line extension from whitewave, makes it much more valuable to shareholders. positions them to become more like hain celestial and it reminds us how companies build up heft in their industries have more bargaining power with suppliers and vendors. no wonder it rallied 5% today at an all-time high. sysco shows us the power of deals to move the needle in a spectacular fashion. this stock's been stuck in the low 30s for ages. suddenly it burst out by buying closely held competitor u.s. foods, including stock, it's offering stock. nearly 10% gain at one point today, a 30% gain at least in the early morning hours when the news broke. that's remarkable. at another time, i would fear antitrust regulation, but not with this antitrust department, the one that blessed the american airlines dea
