Im care costello. Welcome. Its 11 00 on the east coast. 8 00 on the west. You dont have to feel cold to see pictures like this. You dont have to feel the pains of an ice storm like that and you dont have to be a dog in chicago who wishes for a warm fireplace instead of a frozen lake to be stuck on like that. Today the arctic blast weve been talking about for days is being joined as what they call a wintry mix. That means ice and freezing rain. Were going to talk more about that in just a moment. First i want to show you some very compelling and very cool pardon the pun animation. Its seen by noaa. Literally, take a peek. Heres what happens. Its a bit mysterious. It pushes south during the night and pulls back during the day and pushes further south the next night. Sort of gives you goose bumps to see how it all transpires and all that cold and the very, very strong winds have also created a phenomenon that many of us have never heard of before this week. Its called the good oldfashioned ice shove. Its just like it sounds like. Ice being shoved across a frozen lake or pond and took out an entire house the other day in wisconsin. It also is bringing a lot more visitors, tourists, believe it or not, to Lake Winnebago including Jennifer Wilson of our cnn affiliate wbay in green bay. Do you want to turn around . Reporter its a brandnew tourist attraction. That retiree dave berg never expected in his backyard. Unbelievable. Reporter the news of mother natures overachieving ice shoves. Im looking at the ice pushes over here. Never seen nothing like that before. Reporter spreading as fast as the high winds that created them. Just because i seen it on facebook so i thought id bring my daughter out to see it. One of my neighbors called me and one of my brothers who said you have to go down and look at the ice shove. Its unreal. I live in fond du lac and this is a bit of a hike for me too. Reporter heres what theyre coming to see. This ice shove is about 20 feet high and its come so far inland its taken out a tree and even a light post. These large ice chunks pushed from Lake Winnebago have overtaken peoples backyards and crushed street signs. All of this would be upsetting. Look at that tree over there. If it wasnt so impressive. I think its kind of cool. It even has berg rethinking his retirement. If i had a buck for everyone that drove down here i would be a rich man. This just in. Its too cold for a polar bare swim. I kid you not. The rotary club has announced its postponing the Polar Bear Plunge because its just too cold. That raises money for the Hurricane Sandy victims, so thats off the agenda for now. Anyway, our Karen Maginnis is joining us now, meteorologist whos probably experiencing one of your busier weeks, so to speak. These pictures are interesting and the ice shoves are interesting but i keep saying over and over, this is deadly stuff. I grew up this in weather and it can kill you. Yes, it really can and it doesnt take a lot. And we talk about the ice and definitely for people who are going to be driving through tennessee and kentucky and portions of ohio. The ice is the big factor. You cant see it. Its blass ice in a lot of cases. Its moving through fairly quickly, especially across kentucky. By the way, well just go ahead and show you whats happening along interstate 65. This is along the blue ridge parkway. This right here is interstate 65. Just south of that near elizabe elizabethtown they have a pileup there because of icy conditions. Its become at least aggravating and at best youre going to be slowed down but at worse it could cause quite a few traffic accidents. Watch out for that. Where you see this, this is where ice is being reported. Its fairly difficult to kind of pin down whats going to happen as we go over the next several hours but this is the Ice Accumulation of 0. 3 inches. A tenth of an inch of ice over some areas. As mentioned, this is going to move through quickly, but these overnight low temperatures are going to continue to be cold. The ice is not going to disappear any time soon. All right. As we take you through time for friday, that system moves right across the southern appalachians on the tail end of this. Thats where well see the ice once again. To the norngt thats where it looks like its going to be. From washington, d. C. To new york, one, two inches of snowfall expected across these regions, and it does look like the ice as well as Winter Weather conditions extending from atlanta. We may dodge a bullet for atlanta, but extending on up through charlotte all the way up into the delmarva peninsula, thats where youre looking at the bitterly cold temperatures. Ashleigh, as you said, very dangerous conditions here. At least we werent looking at a widespread event across the southeast. Its wide enough. Yes. It hit everybody except for folk hey, by the way, i want to tell you when we had our meeting this morning and we were all griping about how cold it was and how we had to dress like snow princesses, we found a place in russia. Apparently we should not be complaining because the 500 or so residents on a regular basis have minus 60 as their temperature and it can get as cold as 108. So i just want to make sure people know that elsewhere gas prices can be higher and it can be a lot colder. And also the murder rate goes down in a lot of places. New york hasnt had a murder in seven days. So theres also an upside to this this story. Strange as it may seem. I saw that as well. In the area of siberia, they have about 500 residents, and how they endure those tripledigit belowzero readings i cant imagine. It is unimaginable. Unimaginable. I like that you have a turtleneck, but you need longer arms. Karen maginnis, thank you. Thanks. One of the rising stars of the gop calls out his own party for being and im going to quote him here stupid. As youre about to hear, louisiana governor bobby jindal was not holding back at the r nbcs winter meeting. Listen up. Weve got to stop looking back. We must reject identity politics. With weve got to stop being the stupid party. With giev to stop insulting the intelligence of voters. Ah. The r nbcs chairman has directed a panel to identify winning political strategies for future elections, especially minority outreach. The Vice President joe biden taking the president s Gun Control Campaign on the road. Biden and other white house officials holding a round table discussion today in richmond, virginia. He held some similar talks online, a google talk yesterday, where he gave this advice. In california everyone talks about the big earthquake or some natural terrible disaster. What would you say guess what . A shotgun will keep you a lot safer than the assault weapon in somebodys hands who doesnt know how to use it. Even one who doesnt know how. You know its harder to use an assault weapon. You want to keep people away in an earthquake, buy some shotgun shells. Thats pretty candid. The Vice President s comments came after senator Dianne Feinstein introduced her bill on the ban of firearms. It would leave legal thousands of other kinds of rifles and weapons. And a partial victory to report for gay rights in rhode island. The rhode island house of representatives has approved the samesex marriage act on 5119 vote. It is not yet clear when the senate could take up this bill. The house vote was the first time either chamber voted on the issue since the bill was introduced back in 97. The governor there says hes going to sign that bill if, in fact, it clears the senate.

Hes just been in power for over a year and hes pretty mysterious. We know little more about him today than when he took over the government for his father king jongil. What what we do know, hes in his late 20s, spent some time in a Swiss Boarding School and he married the woman to his left on your screen. We have not seen her since these pictures came out. No idea if theyre still married, if shes still on the scene. Now uppermost in a lot of minds of the people, is this man calling the shots . Is the military calling the shots . Who exactly is in control and what does control mean in that country . This week kims government unlived some very firy rhetoric, threats against the United Nations and United States. And key ally south korea. The warning, more rocket tests and the latest one coming today, a warning to the south of, quote, strong physical counter measures, end quote, if the south helps to enforce new u. N. Sanctions against the north, sanctions imposed after north koreas rocket launch last month. Washington believes theyre trying to develop missiles that could hit the United States, missiles that could one day possibly be armed with nuclear warheads. Joining me now is Cristian Amanpour whos no stranger to north korea. I remember watching pictures of you in 2008. That was five years ago. Things have changed remarkably. You ask what is the power, who is kim jongun. He is the new leader and hes taking a change out of his fathers playbook. No change. You see this very belligerent, bellicose rhetoric. Leon panetta held a press conference that said were worried but fully prepared. Nobody believes they have in wherewithal to target the United States. When you speak, we listen. We have leon panettas actually comments. Lets play it and well talk about it on the other side. Im very concerned with north koreas continuing provocative behavior. Were fully prepared. We remain prepared to deal with any kind of provocation. So heres the problem. We hear about rhetoric, fiery rhetoric coming from north korea all the time, whether it was king jonguns father, whether it was kim jongil. Do we know whos running the show . Do you think him . Hes so young. You know what . It doesnt matter. Theres him at the head of it. Theres a huge military group behind him. The policy remains the same, whether it was the grandfather and founder of north korea, whether it was this man or his father. Its the same. Its a very bell image subsequent, quote unquote military first, policy, scandalous sources, they pour into their military program and what everybodys worried about is in nuclear program. The United States does not have bilateral talks or relations with north korea. In fact, the u. S. Is still in the technical stage of war. It was only an armistice that was signed. 20,000 troops assigned to the dnc. By the way, what do those troops mean . Theyre gone. Is it just to show were here . No, no, no. Its an absolute line of offense of north korea into south if that should take place. Its a real statement of maintaining the south korean allies. Again, im not clear on whether its 28,000. That is far fewer than the number of standing troops that kim jongun has. Of course, it is, but nobody feels theres going to be an invasion in any event. The real question is how does one solve this perpetual thorn to the United States, that is the constant threats by north koreans. They do not yet have the longrange missiles to reach the u. S. Do wi know this for sure . Yes we do no for sure. But the fear is how will they keep going ahead . And what theyre doing is showing that the current policy is not working of the international community, that the sanctions are not stopping them from this belligerence. Now, as i say, theyre not there yet but they might be, and whats really they may not like the sanctions if theyre making threats to the south. This points out yet again the big challenge for president obama for the United States as he starts his second administration. How to stoop nuclear proliferation. Whether its here or in north korea. It has to happen through negotiations. Chinese who are americas biggest ally and north koreas biggest ally in this situation now say their north korean friend is beginning to tick them off and the chinese are the only ones who have the leverage to get them to behave. So the noose is tightening around this oddball young man who some thought maybe therell be a change. Were flat out of time. Youre wonderful. Will you come back . Any time. I like this woman. Shes terrific. Good to see you. Back after this. But now im sig the heartburn blues. Hold on, prilosec isnt for fast relief. Cue up alkaseltzer. It stops heartburn fast.

Apply online or at a bank of america near you. So ive done a lot of beats in journalism and ive never covered sports. It is my weakest sports but when i heard this story i instantly became a sports reporter. Heres why it was so significant. Shes an olympian. Shes medaled several times so shes pretty awesome and theres her picture. But it wasnt always an easy ride for this young woman and im goip to tell you what happened at her first track meet in her freshman year at her high school. Her coaches didnt give her a uniform, and when it came time for her to run her race, the meet officials stopped the whole meet and let her go out on the track by herself, do her round by herself, and then she could get off the track so the rest of the meet could continue without her. To say that was a humiliation for this remarkable athlete might be an understatement. What it did was light a fire under her to make a change and change she did. She got into the legal angle of life and all of a sudden today the government is stepping in to make sure tatianas story doesnt get repeated a whole lot. Im happy to be joined by at e tatiana. First of all i cant believe you went through this experience. Skornld of all, i cant believe you had the gumption to take action and i cant believe the action has resulted in real action. Give me a feel for what the government is doing with schools to try to stop disabled athletes from not having the kind of access that you felt you didnt have. You know, today was definitely history that is made. It was a very tough battle. Through my four years of high school. I cannot express the feelings that i went through, the humiliation that i went through. It was it was the toughest four years ive ever had. And when civil rights took action, i oh, my gosh. Tears of joy. I know that people after me can now participate in High School Sports without going through the battle that i had to. Tatiana, i think some people watching they dont understand how the government could sort of inject sbooits a school and say you must allow disabled athletes to compete equally with ablebodied athletes because athleticism is different. We have paralympics and olympics, Special Olympics and olympics, but what exactly can be done to change some of the nature of athletics in schools so that there isnt this complete segregation . Well, you know, when i went into high school, its about opportunity and its about being involved with your peers. And its really about educating that. Whether you have a disability or not, everyone should be involved. And i think its great that, you know, its being taken into action into schools. You know, this opens up huge doors, you know. Like people going to college right after high school, getting, you know, a letter, being part of High School Sports is a huge thing. Its getting involved in High School Opens up so many doors and im really, really excite about this. And im honored that it happened. I was looking at some of the policies and examples of what schools can do to make sure that a disabled athlete can compete with an abled athlete. Something like this. A track athlete who might be deaf cant hear the gun, so if you just bring some flashing lights out onto the track, that gives them the same opportunity and the same way to compete as their counterparts. Some people would say also thats going to cost some money because there are going to have to be some changes across the board and now that the government is saying if these schools dont do this, theyre going to have money withheld, federal money withheld. So do you see where some schools may be frustrated or not know how do this without going broke . You know, i think its just all about all about educating. Schools made adaptions for me throughout my whole high school career, and it is small, you know, minor adaptions. Its just about learning all these new adaptions to make for people with disabilities. And, you know, i think change is happening right now, and it is for the positive. You know, you can sit there and stay all the negatives, but in the end, i mean its its going to change so many lives for people with disabilities. You know, they can have the opportunity to grow and really become who they want to be in the future instead of always saying no, no, no, you cant do this, you cant be involved. So i think its i think the change is going to be for the best. Hey, at the tatiana remind me of how many. Total of 10, three gold medals from the london Paralympic Games and one bronze. Case in point. Tatyana, great to talk with you. Congratulations on all your amazing success and your pursuit of justice for those who were not able to take the track that you have taken to being such a successful athlete. Nice to meet you.

Now i know you have heard on cnn and other News Networks if you watch onetworks that medical mann is not the least bit controversial and then comes a story about a family in oregon thats using medical mann for a child. Before you make a snap judgment this child has autism. Okay. Before you make another snap judgment, this child has the kind of autism that you may never have seen before. And when you see what happens when they use medical mann, you may feel entirely differently about this story. Have a look at our affiliate reporters report. Reporter its difficult to watch, this video of an oregon child hurting himself in a fit of rage. 11yearold alex is see yearly autistic. His self destructive behavior your brought on by a genetic disorder that affects about 50,000 people this the u. S. It causes growths in yore against. In alexs case, primarily in the brain. Those growths can lead to seizures and atufrm. Alex cant communicate with words making it difficult to understand whats troubling him. Indescribable. It was horrifying. He was able to be acting normal and all of a sudden run himself into a wall. Reporter his parents have turned to a controversial treatment, medical marijuana to manage his behavior. When youve got no other options, are you honestly going to say no . It wasnt always this way though. He was actually going to be jake for the longest time, and when he was born and when we saw him we said thats not jake. Thats alex. Reporter the day alex was born, they were full of hope until six weeks later when their baby had his first seizure. We didnt know he was going to be autistic at that time. I think he was 3 when he first started hurting himself. Reporter by the time alex was 5 it was intense selfdirected rage. Alex headbutted anything he could, bruising his forehead so badly his father said the blood would drain until alexs entire face was black and blue. They got a helmet, swaddled him like a newborn, tried moodaltering drugs. But alexs behavior became the eugenes family a new normal. When he was 8 they made a heartbreaking decision to move him into a state funded group home. It was like we were throwing him away, like we were just giving him to somebody else and saying, sorry, buddy, you know, youre not part of the family anymore. It was it was pretty rough. Reporter but was there a way to help him to bring back this smiling boy . Alexs parents looked into oregons medical Marijuana Program and the doctor approved alex. Alex is now about 1 of 50 children with a card like this. While autism is not a qualifying medical condition like cancer or pain, in alexs case the seizures are and they saw dramatic improvement. He went from hitting himself, bloodying his face and within an hour and half, he would be playing with toys, using his hands,some that at that time was almost unheard of. This is an extremely rare occurrence for alex. Reporter the group home wont give him marijuana so about three times a week they give him the liquid form of the drug. The report from our affiliate kptv reporting that unbelievable story and our senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen has been following up on this. Im at an absolute loss. Its so hard to be those parents. So hard. You know, the American Academy of pediatrics is officially against it. We reached out to Autism Speaks which is a big Advocacy Group which is big on autism and their families. They say there is currently no adequate Scientific Evidence to advocate the use of medical marijua marijuana. Theyre saying theres this family whos saying they had a good experience, other families who say theyve had a good thing. Other families. How many . Is there a group . Have they found each other . Are they able to lobby . Hey, listen. When there are controversial drugs being tested, and youre in fear of dying, you do anything. Regardless of what the government says krks which is mann will continue to be a. Right, so these families have found each other. The eckecles family did it. Theyre scattered, downline, talking to each other online. I dont think theres a formal lobby or anything. So they live in a state where marijuana is league, then they do what this family did and they try to seek out a prescription. If they live in a state where its not legal, that can go to the doctor and ask for marinol which is a prescriptive drug that contains the similar or active ingredient. These families are out there try dog this. So while even though the American Academy of pediatrics and autistic groups say theres no science out there, they say what else is there to try. This is it. I must say i did speak with a doctor who did not want his name used but he treats children with autism and he said, look. Its a little hypocritical for us to say as doctors that were so worried about the longterm effects of marijuana when were giving these kids prescription drugs that can have some really heavyduty side effects, shortterm and long term. I think individual doctors are beginning to question the wisdom and theyre starting to say, maybe we should be giving these kids marijuana. Oh, its just astounding when you see, a, the video, which is just mindblowing and then to see the effect afterward. Elizabeth. Follow that and let us know where that goes and where the families end up being. Thats unbelievable. By the way, the eccles do admit that the longterm side effects are unknown and they say theyre not advocating that medical marijuana be gimp to all autistic children.

[ male announcer ] introducing the reimagined 2013 chevrolet traverse, with spacious seating for up to eight. Imagine that. This week marks the 40th anniversary of a womans guaranteed right to choose abortion this this country. Its roe v. Wade and it ranks amo among the most divisive. That is saying something. And thats why thousands of abortions rights opponents are expected to brave this 20degree weather on the National Mall in washington today for whats being billed as the march for life. Youre seeing it live right now at 11 37 eastern a. M. , and it is very cold. The rally is going to officially get under way in a half hour. They turned up early. Former gop Rick Santorum is going to be among the scheduled speakers at this event. All of this as the Supreme Court of colorado is being asked to take up a heartrendering case that pits a Catholic Hospital against fundamental catholic teachi teachings. Stay with me. Heres the case. In 2006 a pregnant woman who was carrying twins had a heart attack and she did not survive more than an hour at the st. Thomas moor hospital in canon city, southwest of colorado springs. She died. And the twins that she was carrying died as well. The womans husband was very angry at why she died but more so why those twins died because they had tried to page the doctor on call who did not respond and there was no emergency csection to save those children. Two state courts, though, have sided with the hospital in the suit that he brought, the wrongful death suit. Theyre basing the defense here on a colorado law that holds that unborn fetuses are not persons with legal rights. Let me back that up again. The catholic institution, its defense, those fetuses werent persons. You do not have to be a theologian at this point to see what you might consider some serious hypocrisy here. A total disconnect from the catholic doctrine that maintains life begins at the stage of conception. Where does that leave you legally . Joe jackson. I dont know if legally it leaves us anywhere but it sure is a talking point. It really is because its a distinction between whats morally right and legally right. Here world seriess what you have the catholic teachings and faith and conception, with respect life, we want you to bear life, we want you to have this you know, a fetus should be respected. Now you have the lawyers saying, look, colorados wrongful death statute, which protects, you know, people, right . Thats the argument. People against negligence, which causes their death, the issue becomes should that unborn fetus be entitled to the Legal Protections as a person under the law. Well, can i just state here and i dont have the actual statute in front of me but it does say that the actual law says the term person cannot be applied to fetuses. The law protects doctors. The fetuses are not persons with people rights. Thats the law, period. Yes. You can have the leverage lay tur its not in the courts domain to make the law. Its the courts domain to interpret the law. Thats why theres been two court decisions. Look, we cant consider it because the legislature says we cann cannot do. So however, the issue becomes have they viable fetuses such if they were born they would be people and therefore they would have the legal rights. Take the whole catholic thing out of this. Isnt this a cut and drywrongful death case. The guy on call does not answer the page. The woman is alive for a little less than an hour and those twins could have survived potentially. Potentially. Thats a big issue. If someone had attended to this issue or ordered an emergency csection sooner. 100 but there are a couple offishes there. When you say potentially it seems that the experts suggest if she was given a csection before the heart attack the fetuses would have survived. The second issue would be it would be different if we were talking about the womans death. Certainly a wrongful death action would attach to his wife or her because shes a person, shes alive. It gets trickier when you have the law as its spelled out and as you have read that says it does not apply to the unborn. And therefore unless the legislature changes the rule, expect the opinion to stand. Okay. Im going to read a statement from the colorado catholic bishops because clearly this is a big deal for them to have to digest. They say this. Catholics and catholic institutions have the duty to protect and foster human life and to witness to the dignity of the human person, particularly the unborn. Catholic health initiatives, thats the group in charge of the hospital, assured us of their intention to observe the moral and ethical obligations of the catholic church. We will undertake a full review of this litigation and of the policies and practices of Catholic Health inish yivs to ensure fidelity and faithful witness to the teachings of the catholic church. I just dont understand because defenses dont happen overnight or like perry mason in court. No, they dont, theyre planned out. They take a year or more to say, gee, this is really odd. Were going to have to take a looksee. I tlinks battle here. Look, we have to look at the statue and see how with can best defend you and the catholic teachings would say, wait a second, we want to respect fetuss rights. Is that officially in law called between a rock and a hard place . It would be called a rock and a hard place. And a diamond because its worth tens of millions . You know what i think is the way out of this, respect the family, settle with the family, give them what they rightfully deserve. It wont give the children back but it will give them some Financial Support for the future. Fascinating and jawdropping, your stories always are. To say the least. More stories. Well be right back after this. I have low testosterone. There, i said it. How did i know . Well, i didnt really. See, i figured low testosterone would decrease my sex drive. But when i started losing energy and became moody. Thats when i had an honest conversation with my doctor. We discussed all the symptoms. Then he gave me some blood tests. Showed it was low t. Thats it. It was a number not just me. [ male announcer ] today, men with low t have androgel 1. 62 testosterone gel . The 1 prescribed topical testosterone replacement therapy, increases testosterone when used daily. Women and children should avoid contact with application sites. Discontinue androgel and call your doctor if you see unexpected signs of early puberty in a child, or signs in a woman, which may include changes in body hair or a large increase in acne, possibly due to accidental exposure. Men with Breast Cancer or who have or might have prostate cancer, and women who are or may become pregnant or are breastfeeding, should not use androgel. Serious side effects include worsening of an enlarged prostate, possible increased risk of prostate cancer, lower sperm count, swelling of ankles, feet, or body, enlarged or painful breasts, problems breathing during sleep, and blood clots in the legs. Tell your doctor about your medical conditions and medications, especially insulin, corticosteroids, or medicines to decrease blood clotting. So. What do men do when a numbers too low . Turn it up [ male announcer ] in a clinical study, over 80 of treated men had their t levels restored to normal. Talk to your doctor about all your symptoms. Get the blood tests. Change your number. Turn it up. Androgel 1. 62 . President obama will make another big staff announcement a little bit later on today. Hes, in fact, expected to announce that Dennis Mcdonough is the next chief of staff. Our White House Correspondent Brianna Keilar is following this and live at the white house. Hes no stranger to mr. Obama. Hes very, very close to the president , isnt he . Reporter thats right. In a Foreign Policy capacity he has been. This is someone whos been very much inside president obamas close circle. Hes advised him during the troop withdrawal in iraq, the current one going on in afghanistan and hes in a photo thats now become famous. He was in the situation room during the raid on osama bin ladens house. Youll see him sitting next to secretary of state hillary clinton. It goes back mump further than that. He has been here at the white house since the beginning of president obamas first term. In fact, he helped him as he was coming in to the white house and their time together goes all the way back to when president obama was a senatorelect, when he was coming from being a state legislator in illinois to the senate. So all the way back to his time where he first came to washington. He also was a Foreign Policy adviser, ashleigh, to the former Senate Majority leader tom daschle.
