Its a Beautiful Day at the vatican. And george is right there for it all. It certainly is. The sun shining out here right now. Im here with our colleague, david wright. David, i flew over with Cardinal Dolan of new york. A lot of talk about the possibility that he might be chosen as the next pope. He laughed that off. But the cardinals are going to start to meet next week. Today, though, the day for pope benedict. Thats right. His moment to say goodbye, really. This was the last time we will see him in the flesh, here at the vatican. Tomorrow, well see him on television. But most of it will take place behind the vatican walls. 50,000 tickets for this event, standing room only crowd. And for a pope who is famously reserved, it counts as an emotional farewell. They came today by the thousands to say goodbye. Pope benedict gave them an upclose look, moving through the crowds in the popemobile. He even stopped to kiss a baby. The first pope since the middle ages to step down, smiling today, as he took it all in one last time. The crowd got to their feet and gave him a long standing ovation. Today, he looked thin and frail as he addressed the faithful, referring back to the day eight years ago when he first appeared on that balcony. In that moment, he said, i felt like st. Peter with the apostles in the boat on lake galilee. Referring to that iconic gospel scene right over the entrance of st. Peters basilica. Benedict noted that, at times, the seas were calm. At times, the winds were blowing against us. An apparent reference to the scandals that have sometimes challenged his papacy. Today was one of the last times hell wear those red prada pumps. After tomorrow, he switches to brown shoes. The man they once called gods rottweiler, as others have put it, now, a faithful german shepherd. Today, there were so many requests for tickets, even st. Peters square, there was standing room only. This family got their tickets a month ago. We had tickets for the private showing. Didnt know it was going to be this big. Reporter instead, theyre witnessing history. Also in the crowd, the man who will end up taking benedicts place, probably someone from the front rows, wearing red. But even he doesnt know it yet. Thats the big mystery here. 117 cardinals are under age 80. And therefore eligible to vote. One of them has bowed out because of illness. Another because of scandal. So, 115 cardinals will choose the next pope. And its likely, the new pope will be among one of them. George . Thanks, david. Im here now with one of the men that will choosing the next pope, Cardinal Donald wuerl of washington, d. C. Good to be with you. What a powerful moment. We saw something weve never seen before, a pope saying goodbye. A historic moment. I think everyone will remember this because it hasnt happened, certainly, in this way, ever before. And to say goodbye and to hear the pope tell us that his ministry is something that he had given to the church to god. And it was simply time, now, to conclude it. It was beautiful. It was moving. It really tugs at the heart. But he also reminded us, the church moves on. It just has to continue with its work. And you have the duty, share the duty, of choosing the next pope. Whats the most important quality youre looking for . I think i would like to see in the successor to benedict, that spiritual quality that keeps focused on the mission of the church, which ultimately, radically, is spiritual. Theres so many challenges today. But the real work of the church is simply to tell people, god is with us. Many have said the church needs a real manager who can clean up the vatican, overcome some of the scandals. I would think that, if the pope is focused on the spiritual mission, he can always see that there are enough people to do what needs to be done to get everything the way it should be. But i wouldnt want to concentrate just on managerial skills. Because thats something you can take care of. The focus has to be on the real mission of the church. I flew over here with Cardinal Dolan of new york. And he said, just before he left, in his final mass in new york, that he was coming here in the spirit of repentance. Do you think thats something many of the cardinals share . I think we come in a spirit of connectedness with the history of the role of peter. The reason were electing a successor to st. Peter, the task is to keep that continuity, to keep us connected with peter and therefore with christ. But in a modern world. A very, very modern world. Thats one of the reasons why the new pope is going to have to be very attuned to modern communications. Hes going to have to be able to be present to the world in ways that no pope in the past ever was. We have all of this electronic, social media. The pope is going to have to be immersed in that. You said its a fantasy to think that you yourself were chosen as pope. I think we have to stay in the real world, and the real world doesnt include me. What about the chances of an american . Of Cardinal Dolan . Or Cardinal Omalley of boston . I think the conventional wisdom, which i think is correct, is a pope from the superpower would probably have a lot going against him when hes trying to present a spiritual message to the rest of the world. The United States is a grand and glorious and great country. But the pope has to be able, at times, to speak a spiritual challenge even to the United States. And so, im not sure that it would be the wisest thing to have an american pope. Cardinal wuerl, thank you very much for your time. Good to be with you. God bless you. Thanks. Luz beth. All right, george, thank you so much. Now, were going to turn to that blizzard that is blanketing so much of the country, from texas to the great lakes, stranding people inside their cars, even trapping a number of students inside their middle school. Sam has been checking all of it overnight. And, boy, this is quite a system. Yeah. It covers so much of the country, elizabeth. By the numbers, its impressive. Looks at these numbers amarillo coming in with 19 inches of snow, a daily snowfall record. All of these are records. Chicago, its still snowing at 4. 8. Thats now your biggest snowfall of the season so far. And then, head south from the storm, where its no longer a snowmaker, its just a bad weathermaker and severe storms. And notice this is a picture of tampa. Look at this right here. Thats the bottom of a waterspout that later became a tornado. There were 95mileperhour winds moving through tampa, as this made landfall. This doesnt happen a lot when these waterspouts make land fall. When they make land, they make a really big impact. And to the big snow. Look at alex perez in chicago this morning. And thats about 4 to 12 inches this morning in the chicagoland area. Good morning, alex. Reporter overnight, a sloppy, snowy mess across the chicago area. On the roads, spinout after spinout. Some drivers had to be rescued out of ditches. Its scary. The wifes in the car. Shes having little panic attacks. Its bad. Its really bad. Reporter this winter wallop whacking more than 20 states. In colorado, treacherous roads, leaving 60 middle School Students stranded overnight, at a school east of colorado springs. Oklahoma is also struggling. 50mileperhour to 60mileperhour winds and fourfoot snowdrifts. Trapping motorists and even plow trucks on highways. Unbelievable amount of snow up here. Reporter in north carolina, downed trees snapped icecoated power lines, creating a fire and leaving thousands in the dark. Kansas city, digging out once again. And the heavy, wet snow, bringing down old trees. And creating a new danger, roof collapses. One man was killed after a roof buckled in oklahoma. In belton, missouri, a family narrowly made it out, after this wall came crashing down. It was like a big, huge salad bowl. Thats when i realized, we have to get out. Reporter two hours west, in missouris capital, jefferson city, the entire ceiling and front wall of this warehouse, destroyed. So, here at ohare, and at many airports, it will be a day of playing catchup. And another busy day of digging out across the path of this storm. Sam . Alex, the middle of the country taking a wallop out of this storm system. As it continues to move east, theres still some snow left. Well see maine, Northern New York state, coming in with an additional six inches of snow there. Well go through all of americas weather when we come back in a minute. Elizabeth . Sam, thank you so much. And were going to turn, now, to washington. And the grim countdown to the massive spending cuts that will kick in on friday. Democrats, republicans, the president , congress, all pointing fingers. Abcs Jonathan Karl has more on the story. Reporter instead of trying to come to an agreement, the two sides are playing the blame game. But i dont think the president s focused on trying to find a solution. There are too many republicans in congress right now who refuse to compromise even an inch. Reporter speaker of the house john boehner pointed the finger at president obama. Wheres the president s plan to avoid this . Have you seen one . Reporter the president says he has a plan. In fact, the senate will likely vote on it tomorrow. But it has virtually no chance of passing. We should not have to move a third bill before the senate gets off their ass and begins to do something. Reporter each day, the white houses list of terrible things caused by the cuts grows longer. Including flight delays, kids losing vaccines, and meat shortages. And now, the department of Homeland Security says it has been forced to release hundreds of undocumented workers back into the United States. They had been detained by immigration and customs enforcement. The president traveled tuesday to a giant military shipyard in newport news, virginia, to highlight how the cuts will hurt families and military readiness. Tomorrow, the senate will vote for the very first time on competing bills to try to replace these automatic, acrosstheboard spending cuts. But at this point, elizabeth, neither side has put forth a plan that has any chance of passing. Unbelievable. Youre sounding like a broken record every morning, jon. Hopefully tomorrow will be different. Lets turn to josh for the rest of the top stories developing. We have breaking news out of europe. Its disturbing. What appears to be a mass shooting at a company in switzerland. Police will only say that several people, at least three, have been killed, at a lumber company in a small town just west of lucerne. The shooter opened fire in the cafeteria there. About 450 people in total work there. And well have more details as they come available. Meanwhile, back here at home, a College Campus in South Carolina was placed on lockdown overnight, after a 19yearold student was fatally shot inside a dorm. Its unclear what prompted the shooting at Coastal Carolina university. Police are searching for the gunman. And in washington, new signs the Obama Administration is about to change its policy and provide direct aid to the rebels in syria. One option reportedly being considered is to provide military training and equipment, such as body armor. Secretary of state john kerry meets with rebel leaders tomorrow in rome. And now, to a deadly shark attack that stunned beachgoers in new zealand today. A swimmer was suddenly pulled under the water. Rescuers desperately tried to help him. And abcs rob nelson has the story. He just shouted out, shark. And the next minute, we saw him like rolling around. There was blood everywhere on the water. Reporter this new zealand fisherman was eyewitness to the deadly attack just 200 yards offshore. We saw like three sharks, all over him, rolling him around. Reporter rescue teams raced into the water in a desperate attempt to reach that swimmer. The police managed to distract the shark, while we extracted the person from the water. Reporter and in a scene straight out of spielbergs imagination, police in boats took aim at the shark. We dont know whether we hit the shark. But the shark rolled off and disappeared. Reporter but it was too late. And the victim, a man in his 40s, was dead. Witnesses say the shark was huge. Experts who streamed this footage says the shark may be over ten feet long. I can tell by the color, and by the way its swimming, its most likely a great white shark. Reporter for Good Morning America, rob nelson, abc news. One quick sports headline for you this morning. Another big upset in college basketball. Number one indiana, falling to unranked minnesota, 7773, last night. Of course, as happens, gophers fans, rushing the court at games end. Celebrating a big win for them. And again, this is all on the eve of march, the maddest of months. Again, lets be careful if youre going to rush that court. Just be careful, watch your step. Elizabeth . All right. Thank you so much, josh. And now, were going to turn to that multimilliondollar lawsuit over budweiser. Anheuserbusch is under fire right now from customers who claim the company is watering down its budweiser, michelob and other beers. The people behind the lawsuit, say theyve been cheated out of the alcohol content on the label, much less the taste. Abcs linsey davis has the story. Reporter the maker of the king of beers this morning, finds itself at the center of a kingsized scandal. Anheuserbusch inbev, which brews budweiser, michelob and bud ice is now involved in a multistate lawsuit, accused of selling watereddown beer. According to a classaction suit filed in a San Francisco federal court friday, the worlds biggest beer brewer is accused of intentionally mislabeling and overstating the alcohol content of its products in order to increase profits. A consumer should be able to go into a store and buy a can of beer, whatever brand they like. And if it says on the label, its 6 alcohol, it should be 6 . Reporter along with the lead lawsuit in california, multiple other suits are being filed this week across the country. In pennsylvania, new jersey and elsewhere, beer lovers who say theyve been bamboozled by the company that makes their booze, are taking legal action. So far, theyre seeking more than 5 million in damages. At issue, they say, are complaints by former workers inside the breweries who accuse the company of adding water during the final stages of brewing, lowering the alcohol content. In a statement overnight to abc news, anheuserbusch calls the claims false. And the lawsuits groundless. Saying, our beers are in full compliance with all the alcohol labeling laws. Ultimately, forensic testing is going to determine the alcohol content. And thats what will decide the case. Reporter now, the plaintiffs have admitted that they have not independently tested anheuserbusch products taken from store shelves. On top of the 5 million in damages, the lawsuits also seek an order, mandating that the brewer runs a corrective advertising campaign. New allegations this morning why some beer may go down so smooth. Because its got water in it. Exactly. Its like drinking water, allegedly. Allegedly. Okay. All right. While we contemplate that, lets turn to sam for a look at the nations weather. Hey, sam, i hope its a calmer day. A lot calmer for the middle of the country. You need to warm up.

Great to have Elizabeth Vargas here. Thats amazing footage. It is. A young, little encyclopedia brown. Were going to get into the escalating National Debate whether working from the office should be mandatory or a choice. Theres a memo out from a top company no more working at home. The hottest of hotbutton issues. First, lets go to george live right now at the vatican, where the pope just said his final farewell to the faithful, on the eve of his historic resignation. The last time well hear from him as pope. Theyre cleaning up st. Peters square right now. Earlier, up to 200,000 people spread out here a and across the streets of rome, as the pope did give his farewell to the faithful. Now, he goes back inside. Tomorrow morning, he will meet with the cardinals. And around 5 00 p. M. Tomorrow night, a helicopter will take off from behind st. Peters basilica, right here, take off for about a 15minute ride, to where the pope will give for the next several weeks, as they renovate his apartment at the vatican. And at 8 00 p. M. , he becomes pope emeritus. His red shoes go away. His ring will be destroyed. And the work will turn to the cardinals for choosing the next pope. The politicking has begun. The cardinals were here to hear from the pope today. I spoke to Cardinal Wuerl of washington, d. C. In our last half hour. And he said, do not expect an american pope. He doesnt think that would be the wisest thing. But they are debating already, the kind of qualities theyre looking for many the next pope, josh. Politicking and history under way at the vatican. Thank you, george. We turn, now, to the traumatic day in the socalled breakup murder trial. Jodi arias going headtohead for a third day of crossexamination. The prosecutor attacking her memory. Arias, fighting back. Ryan owens has the story. Reporter another day of sparring. Do you have a problem understanding whats going on . Sometimes because you go in circles. Reporter jodi arias is going toetotoe with prosecutor juan martinez, for the thirdstraight day of crossexamination. How is it that it just happens that you cant remember what you said. I think im more focused on your posture and your tone and your anger. Reporter arias admits she shot Travis Alexander in june of 2008, but claims it was selfdefense. She testified she remembers very little about actually committing the crime. The answer, yes or no . Do you remember . Remember what . Reporter the prosecutor said she murdered her former lover in cold blood. And concocted a story of abuse to beat the death penalty. She spent nine days crying on the stand, claiming alexander was a sexual dieviant who beat her. But they showed arias this note at the memorial service. It says, travis, youre beautiful on the inside and out. Doesnt it . Yes. Isnt that kind of a lie based on what you told us in court today . Reporter he showed us this interview with the news magazine 48 hours. He brightened room when he walked in. The world is a darker place without him in it anymore. Reporter she is talk about a man she claims buzed her so severely, she had no choice but to kill him. How is it that youre not remembering what youre saying . Because youre making my brain scramble. Reporter court was cut an hour short tuesday, after arias said she had a headache. The questions will not get any easier when crossexamination resumes in a few hours. For Good Morning America, ryan owens, abc news, phoenix. And for more, were going to bring in our legal team. Nancy grace. And dan abrams, our gma legal analyst. Nancy, i want to start with you, if i may. That was a confrontational and aggressive crossexamination. Usually prosecutors are wary of doing that with a woman in the witness box. You know what . Youre making a very good point. When i had a lady defendant, i felt i had to handle them differently because sometimes jurors do not like to see a female defendant attacked. But in this case, i think its a whole other ball game because of the consistent lies over many, many days on direct examination. Many people have said, is the prosecutor being too harsh on her . I say no way because its going to take quite a lot to rip that mask off jodi arias and show the killer underneath. But hes got the facts on his side. He doesnt need to be that aggressive with her. And you said so far, you think shes doing pretty well. I think shes been a very good witness, considering shes got horrible facts. Shes got inconsistencies in her story. Problems with what shes saying. And thats my point. When you have this much ammo, as the prosecutor has in this case, you dont need to start fighting with the witness because i do think theres the risk that nancy and you were talking about, which is this sense of seeing her as the victim. Its the only hope she has, these jurors somehow feel sorry for her. Listen, dan. Dan, i know where youre coming from. But think about it like this. Ive been in his shoes. This is the one bite of the apple, the one swing at the ball. Do you want it to be like tot mom where they had evidence and they held it back and didnt want to be too harsh. They didnt use all of the ammo they had and look what happened. You have to go allout, blow it out. Its about tone, though. He doesnt need to be seen as being fighting with her and being aggressive with her when hes got the facts on his side. Nobody would say that, except a defense attorney or a legal pundit. Really . You havent been watching your own network. What the prosecutions doing wrong. On your network, ive seen prosecutor after prosecutor talk about this exact same point. I dont care. You just said to me no one would say this. Somebody says im watching the trial. Right. And still to this point, she has not been correct. Youre right about that. Shes been doing fair we well. Shes not cracked her yet. Theyve got the fact. Shes got a real problem here. But i dont think theres going to be A Perry Mason moment, where shes going to suddenly desolve into tears. Shes got at this. What do you think has been the biggest victory for the prosecution . The biggest hindrance to the prosecution . Victory for the prosecution, in terms of their crossexamination of her . I think the biggest victory for the prosecution has largely been brought on by arias herself, when she gives a scenario about what happened. She claims that in less than two minutes, she has a confrontation with the murder victim. Shes taking naked photos of him in the shower, sexy photos. She runs into the closet. Climbs a ladder, turns around. He hits a wall. She stabbed him 29 times. Drags his body back. Puts it into the shower. Washes him off. All this happens in two minutes. Impossible. The implausibility of the story. Shes saying horrible things about him that she never said before. Thats the big problem. That he abused her. Theyre bringing up her old diaries. But ive never seen testimony as graphic as the testimony in this case. Its pretty astonishing. And it continues today. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. Bye, guys. See you later. Its time to check in with trying to think im checking with the weather and sam. Hi. I got rattled by dan and nancy. Believe me. I understand. Lets get to the boards. Well start with pictures, video, out of little ferry, new jersey, where the water is ponding early this morning. Wabc tv, the best in new york city, is all over this heavy rain situation. Coming in a short period of time. The doublebarrel lows pulling up in the northeast, with snow, that goes from missouri all the way to the great lakes and into maine. The heavier rain south of it, as well. The rain will stop a little later today. We may have some scattered showers through the day tomorrow, as well. And these are the areas that deliver some strong winds and colder temperatures. Colder temperatures that will probably last for the eastern half of the country, all the way into march. And maybe the first two weeks of march, well down into the south. But right now, well just take it four days at a time. And well show you new orleans going to 54 degrees on saturday.

Back, now, at 7 43, with the stunning story of the teacher who allegedly stole money from her students backpacks. A sophomore conducting her own sting investigation. And caught it on tape. Abcs gio benitez has the story. Reporter is this a teacher rummaging through a bag. This was recorded by a High School Student. A student claiming her teacher stole money from students bags. Right in the School Locker room. Something had to be done about this because its not right to be taking kids money like that. Reporter Lyndon High School sophomore, Justine Betti said she heard stories of things going missing in gym class. We were blaming each other. Reporter she started thinking like a private eye and set up a sting. Betti hid inside this locker. Even propping up a second phone to catch video from another angle. Watch as the woman in the video appears to take something out of the pink backpack. See there . Something is now in her right hand. And then, she seems to check the pockets of the jeans right next to the bag. But doesnt appear to remove anything. It was tough to believe that she was doing that because she is such a nice teacher. And i really liked her. But i couldnt believe that she was doing Something Like that. Reporter the 16yearold took the video to her dad and school administrator. Now, a fullon investigation is under way. The accused teacher, who is not being identified, is now reportedly on administrative leave, pending the investigation. And after a weeklong police investigation, this morning, the case is in the hands of the district attorney, who will decide whether to charge the teacher with a crime. Abc affiliate, kxtv, reported they spoke to a sister of the accused teacher. And she told them, quote, she didnt take anything. It looks like shes searching for something. She would never steal. She doesnt need the money. For Good Morning America, gio benit benitez, abc news, new york. And our thanks to gio. Coming up, whether going to the office should be mandatory or a choice.

Were going to turn to all of that growing National Debate today, over whether we should all be required to report to the office to go to work instead of working from home. It was sparked by a new memo from the h. R. Department at our online news partner, yahoo saying that employees would no longer be allowed to work from home. Take a look. Its the office memo turned heated watercooler discussions. Yahoo ceo, Marissa Mayer, banning workfromhome arrangements. Igniting an uproar about what many think is antiquated. One mommy blogger on babble. Com writing, working online is the wave of the future. If we get the job done, what do you care that we did it between 9 00 and 5 00 p. M. . Even business mogul, Sir Richard Branson tweeting, perplexed by yahoo stopping remote working. But according to yahoo the workfromhome ban is a strategic move to get employees to collaborate. Requiring everybody to report to the office, telling them you can no longer work from home, is an issue of comraderie, productivity, collaboration, innovation. And a lot of the best results are achieved when everybodys under one roof. Reporter some yahoo insiders agree with the move. One saying, working from home may be convenient for some. But its a convenience cost to the team. In a statement overnight, yahoo told abc news, this isnt a broad industry view on working from home. This is what is right for yahoo right now. And joining me now, two very different takes on the topic. Are tina brown, editor and chief of newsweek and the daily beast. And lisa belkin, who writes a column about life, work, family issues for the washington post. And i want to read to you from the mommy blogosphere thats gone insane out of this. Its out of touch with the very stretched lives of the vast majority of working parents that dont have the benefit of a 300 million of a cash cushion and that kind of money can buy. And another one says, way to join the 21st century, yahoo not. And finally, another one, directed to ms. Mayer, the ceo of the company. Apparently, im more valuable when im sitting in my car for two or more hours each day than if i were using that time to either work or do other things that make me productive employee. Are you surprised . Not at all surprised. The workplace has changed a lot in the last 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. We have different tools. Different philosophies. Familys different. And people are really bad that somebody wants to take some of that away from them. Now, its not really workfromhome or not workfromhome. Its a question of do you have some control over your working hours . You have some control over your life. Taking the option, absolutely off the table is what you object to . The idea that they instead of saying, we have people who may not be using this the best, who arent as productive. Every job cant be a telecommuting job. Every person is not good at working that way. But its time to look at it, jobbyjob and personbyperson. Rather than send out a memo that says, i have a nursery i built next to my office. But you have to come into the office. Tina, you tweeted yesterday, cheers for Marissa Mayer for making the staff show up at the office. Yes. Yet, a lot of people feel that didnt is best way to be the best employee. At daily beast, we have different range of flexi this and that. You dont require all your employees by no means. But i tweeted that, i admire her for getting her arms around the culture of yahoo saying, were turning this company around. I need to know everybody. I need to get in and create some energy. Otherwise, everything gets very loose and very looseygoosey. She needs to know the employees and create that energy in her office, so she can really decide, in a sense, if theres people who can work at home or not. Theres something to be said about working in a vacuum. Also known as the echo chamber that is your home office. Theres a powerful energy for coming together, otherwise wed be doing this show from your bedroom. Why arent we doing the program from your bedroom . Why arent we . Why are arent you in your pajamas . This directive wasnt just to working mothers or working dads. It was to every employee at yahoo why has this, however, touched off a nerve among working mothers . Because thats what started this revolution is the fact that it used to be, jobs were set up so that the worker knew that at home, there was someone taking care of home. They took care of work. Someone else took care of home. Over the years, thats changed. Every worker, now, statistically, is responsible at work and at home. And yet, the people right now this growing trend of working occasionally from home are working mothers. Working mothers are the ones who started this. Working mothers are the ones who use these tools the most. I dont think weve gotten anywhere until weve stopped talking about working mothers and talk about this in terms of workers. I think since the recession really hit, weve seen a transition from people having jobs to having gigs. People have a whole bunch of Different Things theyre doing often. And that in a sense, has become the status quo. But weve all been sitting there in meetings at the office and talking to somebody on the speakerphone. And you ask a question, and theres a silence. Why is there a silence . Theyre online, doing a video game or something. Theyre not listening. Well, i hope not. Tina brown, lisa belkin. We could debate all morning. Thank you for weighing in on this. Yahoo is our online partner. And abc news works very closely with it. Lets go up to josh. Were going to get to the controversial commercial that has parents up in arms. Popular shoe company skechers under fire for an ad for sneakers called daddys money. Is that a bad campaign . Diana perez has the story. Reporter this morning, controversy is most definitely afoot for skechers. The popular shoe brand under fire for marketing its new line of bright sneakers called daddys money, to preteen and teenage girls. This whole campaign, this shoe, is ridiculous on so many levels. Reporter the tag line get spoiled with daddys money. Ultracool shoes that put you in the spotlight. Now, it seems the only thing in the spotlight is skechers itself. With mommy bloggers expressing their outrage. It teaches young girls they can use their feminine wiles to get what they want, even from their own fathers. Its totally sexist. A lot of moms are footing half the bills, if not all the bills. Reporter commercials for daddys money are airing everywhere. From mtv, to the hub. Parenting expert and psychotherapist tammy gold, says its more than just shocking. Its sending a potentially dangerous message to young girls. You want to teach them to be independent. To get things for themselves. To earn one day. And all this is saying the opposite. Reporter but skechers is putting its considerable foot down. And defending the line. Telling abc news, the daddys money name and the collections advertising are designed to be fun and lighthearted. And we regret that some people have been offended by the name. Fashionable or not, the daddies and mommies we spoke to say, they wont be spending their money on the controversial kicks anytime soon. For Good Morning America, diana perez, abc news, new york. Our thanks to diana. Now, we turn to Jennifer Lawrence, who went from blonde to brunette, just one day after winning the oscar for best actress. Why did she do it . And could the switch be the start of a hot, new trend in hair . Abbie boudreau has the story. And the oscar goes to Jennifer Lawrence. Reporter Jennifer Lawrence dazzled at the oscars.

Reporter the actress isnt the only one to embrace dark tresses. Britney spears debuted her new look sunday night, at elton johns oscar bash. So, will dark and sexy become the new trend in hair color . You like her better lighter or darker . Lighter. Darker. Reporter we caught up with celebrity hairstylist, robert vetica. In his so salon in beverly hills. I like her blonde, personally. Reporter no stranger to the red carpet, with clients like naomi watt, stacy keibler. She could be pink, blue. It wasnt matter. Reporter but there are other ways to capture your inner katniss, something far less committal. But just as much fun. For Good Morning America, abbie boudreau, abc news, los angeles.

And theyre joining together for producers of a brandnew epic miniseries called the bible. So glad to see you here this morning. What made you take on a topic this big . This complex . Well, its epic. You know, its 2013. And its time to redo a visual updating of the bible. We showed our kids a few years ago, the Ten Commandments which we thought was great. They rolled their eyes at the special effects. And we knew we should step up and do this. Its ten hours on the bible. It starts sunday on history. How did you pick which stories on the bible to tell . Is it full of epic, dramatic stories that have been told so many times. So classically. And theres so many of them. We only had ten hours to tell these stories. We wish we had 1,000 hours. And we decided we had two choices. We could either tell loads of stories. Or we would select fewer stories and have an opportunity to draw the audience in. And get them really emotionally engaged. And thats what you did. Thats what we did. We were talking a moment ago, at the commercial break. I did an hourlong special on the resurrection. Just the resurrection. And we had scholars from the evangelical world, the catholic world, the jewish world. I mean, it was difficult to tell just that one event. How did you pick which point of view to approach this from . A lot of people have a lot of strong feelings. Straight down the middle. Five hours Old Testament and five hours new testament. We go from genesis, with noahs ark. Right through the revelation. And the last hour deals with resurrection, ascension, pentecost, to revelation. You mentioned noahs ark. We have a clip we want to show the audience from that particular episode. Lets all watch. In this beginning, gods created the heavens and the earth. The earth was a formless void. And darkness covered the face of the deep. And god said, let there be light. And there was light. Mark, you said your kids rolled their eyes when they saw the Ten Commandments. Do you think that the audience, which is so sophisticated with special effects will roll their eyes at all . Most journalists said, how could you have only spent 20 minutes . You must have been 150. We got the team that got the oscar for gladiator. They made clash of the titans. Hans zimmer has done the score. And this is epic. We brought miracles to life on the screen. Moses parting the red sea. The burning bush. The walls of jericho come tumbling down. Jesus walking on water. Daniel and the lion. Its epic stuff. And you shot this for six months in morocco, right . You are used to the tough environments. After survivor. You didnt put yourself through anything you put your old contestants through, i hope. Im used to having giant film crews in remote locations. It was six months. And roma did great. There was dust in places i never knew existed. And the snakes, i hear. There were snakes. We had a snake man on the set, just to clear it. Just to clear all of the cobras . And you get the gold star for hanging in there. You, i know, are an old hand at that. Anyway, thank you so much for being with us. The bible premieres sunday on history channel. Its a great thing to watch with your kids, as well. Coming up, he won iron chef america and the battle of the bulge. Were in the is kitchen with Jesse Schenker. We are back, now, with one of the hottest, young chefs in the country. Everyone says so. Jesse schenkers new york city restaurant gets rave reviews. Its the New York Times that says that. Its new York Magazine that says that. You won iron chef america. Gq magazine. Details magazine, calls you one of the best young chefs. Everybody loves you. Sam, thanks for having me. Thank you for being here. Just continuing the trend that gma puts the best on the table in front of you. You went from 255 pounds to 200 pounds. Do we have pictures of that . Theres a huge difference in you. And youre always around food. And youre always around great food. So, how in the world do you do that . Well, the trick is really you dont have to stop eating tasty foods. Just have to go for lowcalorie, lowcarb, still flavorful food. Chicken breast is a great idea. Its lowcalorie. I have a great recipe, with grilled chicken breast. Well broil it with vegetables. You want to add flavor. When you just look at a chicken breast. It says, im not so interesting. You have to spruce it up. You still want flavor. Well make a nice marinade with mustard, sherry vinegar. And you want to add some aromatics. Fresh thyme, garlic weve crushed. And jalapeno. That will work. Definitely. Well marinade it whole and remove it at the end. It will add the heat and flavor but not make it overly spicy. I would have been afraid to do that. Same with the garlic. We whisk it up here. All this great flavor and nothing is highfat. And then, we add it over. We can marinate this four to six hours. If you want to overnight, you can. A glass dash or a ziploc . Ziploc is a great idea. As long as it all soaks in. Exactly. You want a nice flavor on the outside. Were going to put it in the oven for 350 degrees for eight to nine minutes. Im personally afraid to use the oven. I shouldnt be . Put it on broil . Totally on broil. Set a timer. At the same time, were going to roast some vegetables. You want to think texture. When youre working, youre working the jaw muscles. And it satisfies you in a psychological way. A little olive oil. Nice, hot skillet. And well add leafy vegetables that are high in fiber. You can have as much as you want. I like to double the veg to the protein. If i am having four ounces of protein, eight ounces of veg. Fullflavor. And spinach, celery. Its so good, everybody. Some broccoli. Love broccoli. And well cook it all together. We can add mushrooms. Right . Is everybody eating . Oh, yes. Everyone says yes. Is everybody eating, yes. We can have the same marinade for the chicken to season it up. Thats the finished product. Broccoli on a plate is lara, tell everybody were eating good. How can we do this if were all eating .
