We dont obviously want to see a democratically elected autocrat take the place of an undemocratically elected dictator. Which was the case before that. Holly williams is in cairo this morning. Whats the latest there now . Reporter good morning, terrell. Here in egypt we saw a lot more violence yesterday. In cairo, protesters who were angry with president morsi fought running street battles with the police. Protesters throwing rocks, Police Firing back with tear gas. One person was killed when a crowd attacked the headquarters of the muslim brotherhood, the Islamist Group from which the president draws much of his support. Beyond the violence you get the sense the president s opponents dont quite know what to do. Some people are trying to mount a legal challenge to his new powers. Given the fact that hes now made himself immune to the courts, that may be useless. Terrell . Is this likely to be resolved in negotiations or could we see this turn into a long, drawnout affair with protests similar to what we saw during the ouster of former president Hosni Mubarak . Reporter many people here still support president morsi but three of his senior advisers have resigned and yesterday the egyptian stock market plunged by nearly 10 . Probably for those reasons president morsi is trying to sound conciliatory. Yesterday he reiterated his new powers are temporary and he will relinquish them next year when egypt gets a new constitution and a new parliament. For many of his opponents, nothing will satisfy them short of the president immediately rescinding his decree. Terrell . Holly williams in cairo for us this morning, thank you so much. Back in this country, Congress Returns from its thanksgiving break today and negotiations are expected to resume on the socalled fiscal cliff. Some republican lawmakers are talking compromise as they try to reach a deal to avoid the tax increases and spending cuts due to kick in early next year. Susan mcginness is in washington with all details this morning. Good morning to you. Talks are starting on capitol hill this week amid new signs republicans are willing to take a new look at an antitax pledge they made. President obama and congress begin negotiations this week to avoid the coming fiscal cliff. About 600 billion in automatic tax hikes and spending cuts that will kick in at yearend. Both sides say theyre looking for ways to compromise. Thats what Representative Government should be about. No one gets all they want. If reagan and oneill could do it, boehner and obama should be able to do it. Reporter but republicans have consistently voted against any deal that raises tax revenue. The key here is whether or not the republicans will move away from the ideologically rigid position which has been the Grover Norquist pledge which most of them signed that they will not go for additional revenues. Reporter for the first time, even the antitax pledge appears to be negotiable. Several republicans are indicating theyre open to breaking that promise. When youre 16 trillion in debt, the only pledge we should be making to each other is to avoid becoming greece and republicans should put revenue on the table. Reporter but new revenue doesnt necessarily mean new taxes. I would be very much opposed to raising tax rates. But i do believe we can close a lot of loopholes. Reporter and democrats say just closing loopholes and cutting deductions isnt enough. Youve got to raise additional revenues, including tax rates on the wealthy. Those have to go up . They have to go up. Reporter in any deal, republicans insist on big cuts to entitlement programs like medicare and social security. Now taxes are getting all the attention right now but these talks also need to address the federal debt limit. Its set by law at 16. 4 trillion. The nation is already approaching the National Debt of 16. 3 trillion. Nobody wants a repeat of that summer standoff we went through last year. Certainly so. Susan mcginness in washington this morning, thank you so much. While washington is worried about the fiscal cliff it appears the average american is looking to spend. The Holiday Shopping season got started in record fashion thanksgiving night and the spending spree lasted through the weekend. According to the Retail Research firm big insider, a record of 247 million shoppers visited stores or websites over the fourday weekend, an increase of more than 9 . And they spent more than they ever have before, an estimated 59. 1 billion. Retailers hope the shopping frenzy continues today, cyber monday. Cbs morning watchs Ashley Morrison is here in new york with that and more, good morning to you. Good morning to you. Americans Holiday Shopping habits have a Ripple Effect on the global economy. This morning, asian markets were mostly up on the news of record retail numbers. And wall Street Investors like the sight of packed stores during an abbreviated session on black friday. The dow added 172 points to once again move past the 13,000 mark. The question now is whether the shopping surge continues online today. An estimated 129 million shoppers are expected to hunt for deals on the web. Retail Analysts Expect this cyber monday to be the Biggest Online shopping day of the year. The firm comscore predicts americans will spend 1. 5 billion online today, an increase of 20 over last year. Some people like the social aspect of being in the store with others, some people like to shop in bunny slippers. For some its the anonymity and convenience of doing it 24 hours a day from their own living room. Reporter smartphone shopping is on the rise as well. This year an estimated 25 of shoppers are using mobile devices to find the best deal. Thats nearly twice as many as last year. And the trend will likely keep going up. If youre going to be shopping online this year, experts say you should make a list, set up online accounts first, use web tools like google products to compare prices. While cyber monday is expected to be a hit with consumers for now, it may not be the Biggest Online shopping day of the year much longer. This year, web retailers saw a 32 spike in Online Shopping on thanksgiving day. When you couple that with the number of stores that opened up on thanksgiving night, it looks like that holiday is going to be known for shopping as much as it is for turkey dinners. I dont know about you but i didnt get any shopping done. Too busy grazing. Thats the thing. Thats whats supposed to be happening thanksgiving day. Well have to get out our bunny slippers and get online. Exactly. You know, its pretty wild. I guess instead of punching your motherinlaw in the face it is a good idea to get out of the house and go shopping. Thats the new thing on thanksgiving day. Its an escape is what it is. Easier to shop during the day than it is to get up in the morning. And teal with family. Exactly. Ashley, thank you so much. For most, thanksgiving holiday travelers trip home wasnt so bad. The sunday after thanksgiving is traditionally the busiest travel day of the year. Airports and roadways were packed. Thanks to good weather most of the country and few airport delays, travel for the most part went pretty smoothly. Looking pretty good. Well see how things go tomorrow.

And with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the Healthy Foods he likes. Do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. Stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. Get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. Talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. Xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. You are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems.

Around 125 of those have been lost. The first to be brought back to life was the wampanoag language, in part because it was written down. Colonists translated the bible into wampanoag in an effort to convert native americans to christianity. Today that bible, along with documents including land agreements with colonizers, are used as a sort of Rosetta Stone to decipher what was lost. They wanted us to learn the english language and they wanted to civilize us. Reporter tavaresavant said that dealt a blow to a culture where much was passed down orally.
