julia boorstin has the latest on the conference call. julia? >> yeah, that's right. pandora shares higher as you mentioned, because the company reported better than expected revenue. better than expected profits. the company reported a loss of four cents per share. that's a cent higher than expected. a lot of the other metrics are coming in really strong, as well. of course, the big headline here is that about 15 minutes ago, about 3:45 eastern -- 4:45 eastern, the company announced that joseph kennedy is going to be stepping down. he's been running the company since 2004, entering his tenth year at the company. said it's just time for him to move on and the company is going to start the process of trying to find a new leader. it sounds like, from this report here, from this press release here, that there are no plans to hire internally, they're going to be looking externally. it is interesting they going to have this management change as the company really starts to gain traction, especially in areas like mobile. on the conference call, there's been a lot of talk ab

julia boorstin live with the details. julia, what can we expect? >> reporter: well, scott, about 100 journalists are here for the unveiling of facebook's new newsfeed which we expect to be cleaner with a bigger emphasis on photos as well as more video. now, we don't expect to hear anything specifically about advertising because ads flow directly into the newsfeed, this should mean bigger ads and the potential for video ads which are considered more valuable, which should in turn drive higher revenue for facebook. we're about to head inside for the presentation. there's no official word on whether zuckerberg will be there. but i think he probably will make some opening remarks. because this is sort of one of the cornerstones of the company. and i'll be back in "power lunch" with all the details. >> we'll be looking for those headlines. julia boorstin. we have a lot of facebook bulls on this desk. >> absolutely. the one thing i think the differential here is that facebook hasn't run into this, scott. and that's why i think you're getting a pop in the

julia chatterly is live in brussels. julia, germany made a point ahead of this meeting to say even if there's discussion to give people more time, it needs less time to meet its own target. >> absolutely. not only are they cutting to another 5 billion euros, but as i said, they're going to balance the books a year early. germany's statement coming into this is far stronger than many of those other countries. a very important statement to make ahead of the german elect. making their view on austerity here likely. we've had the likes of italy pushing for an stangz to meet their deficit targets. this year, we've come out and said, hey, we're not going to meet the 2% target. it's going to come in at 277. do we get a language shift that's suggested we're going to see the draft move from short-term growth. we do need to move down. arguably, it's shutting the case down after this long since run given they're bending the rules, anyway. and you mentioned, too, the european parliament. they voted down the long-term budget. i'll te

>> julia? >> my concern is the fact that a lot of these are hefty investments. you can buy pieces for a couple hundred dollars. a lot are thousands and tens of thousands of dollars. i wonder if people will feel comfortable making a commitment without seeing it in person. >> i thought the market may not be big enough to justify a real fast growth and ultimately large organization. let's get right to it with the person running artspace. i will let you ask a question first. >> a lot of questions that you appear to have, have high end names, maybe having -- how do you get them to put one of their pieces at a much lower site? >> we're getting the work directly from the gallery, from the museum or in certain cases from the artists themselves. so, as a collector, if you want to collect those art itselves, you're typically looking at a limited edition to sell. >> what kind of margins are you making? and what kind of scale do you need to be successful? >> well, our business model, unlike most ecommerce sites is we don't take any inventory. we don't have to put any of our

tom foreman is "out front" with the story of who julia peerson is. >> reporter: julia peerson is 53 years old and been with the secret service for 30 years. working the way steadily up the ladder to be chief of staff and building an exemplary record along the way. what helped open the door for the appointment was a scandal, one year ago the service came under fire amid allegations of agents on assignment hiring prost toouts. tarnished the career and put pressure on the president to clean it up. >> we're representing the people of the united states. and when we travel to another country, i expect us to observe the highest standards because we're not just representing ourselves. we're here on behalf of our people. >> reporter: so where did pierson come from? according to an interview she gave, six years ago, pierson's childhood interest in police work gained traction in a high school job at disney world saying i wore one of those character outfits to this day i think the experience of dealing with large crowds at the park had a good influence on my ability to do that sort of work with the s

julia pierson. >> as joe biden pointed out, this person probably now has more control over our lives than anyone else -- except for our spouses. and i couldn't be placing our lives in better hands than julia's. >> the president said that the fact that she's a woman is important, but not why she was chosen. he said she was chosen because she's the best person for the job. >>> we learned today about another pioneering woman, but we can't show you her face or tell you her name because she's an undercover agent. and now the first woman in history to head up the clandestine service of the cia. putting her in charge of undercover agents and spies. we know she's in her 50s, speaks several languages, and has done several tours in moscow. >>> and there was a dramatic upheaval in the earth today on a small island off the coast of washington state. residents say it began with a mysterious sound like thunder, and then the earth seemed to crack open. abc's neal karlinsky is there. >> reporter: it was just before 4:00 in the morning when the slide hit with such force homeowners thought it must be

carolyn ross joins us now and julia chatterly is in rome. jules was following the meeting there into the wee hours of the morning where the surprise decision came out over the weekend. first, julia, you're on the ground. what is happening? >> people are outraged, rangery. they're if disbelief over this decision that was struck between the government and brussels leaders on saturday morning. but it's not just the people who are angry. it's also the politicians. many politicians in this 50/60 parliament in cyprus have said they would reject the bailout package because of the hugely unpop already deposit tax. press reports indicate that up to three parties could be volting against the bailout deal, which will be voted on in parliament later today. that's the debate and the vote are expected to kick off around 4:00 p.m. local time. so what the president is trying to do at the moment, he's trying to pure swede the members of parliament that this is the only solution going forward. if they vote against the bailout deal, the only alternative is ban

i know julia just touched on the notion of going public. second market out there, the nasdaq now has a joint venture that allows shares to trade privately. are you -- can you say you would be willing to maybe stay private longer than you previously thought? >> yeah, to be honest, i not something that we think a lot about. we have so much work to do as a company with the user community, the merchant community. it's something that we may have to address later on but not something we think a lot about right now. >> julia? >> well, so, if you're not thinking about that now, what is your main focus? do you have a hard time converting advertisers to understand the value of foursquare? >> main focus is growth. four years old. 30 million people using foursquare. a million on the platform. we're in this league where we're competing against the googles and facebooks of the world. we just have to get bigger. >> so how will you do that? what really distinguishes foursquare and help you compete went you're facing the giants? >> building great products.

now for more on the legacy of chavez i'm joined by julia buxton senior research fellow at the university of bradford who's also acted as an election observer in venezuela thank you very much for your time do you see chavez's idea for twenty first century socialism surviving him and being continued by his successor certainly i think nicolas maduro who is being designated essentially is challenged . in these elections within the next four weeks which i think no doubt with europe is going to win there will be complete continued see by durham needs to have this continuity with chavez because it's the only way really he's going to maintain the legitimacy of the chappies the project you say you're in no doubt. why is that well the opposition have a number of structural problems they are not as popular as a chevy desire at the moment they have a kind of demographic minority within the electorate and they really have not been able to kind of bridge this gap to the poor which is essential for them to break out of that kind of silo with thirty five percent of the votes by contrast my door is going
