S it he a place where tourists and pilgrims gather on a daily bases. Any idea the reaction of the people among the street or in the plaza . Reporter oh, yeah. We spoke to a number of people here. They saw all of the cameras charging over them. They were there to visit st. Peters square on a quiet monday morning as the tourists do here. They asked us what is going on. Nobody really got the news. When they told them Pope Benedict xvi was redesignisignry didnt know. Actually, he can, but obviously, no pope has done that for 700 years. So no wonder people are aware of that. For now on that may change the course of the Catholic Church in the future as well as Pope Benedict xvi is setting an example. If you dont have the strength to carry on let someone younger and more strength to carry on the mission. It certainly is a monument ool announcement. Claudio, thank you very much. This morning we spoke with greg burke the senior communication adviser to the holy see in rome. We began by asking him how much of a surprise this was . It is a surprise. I people think had fair warning. It was a few years ago in a book called light of the world, a long interview with a german journalist. The journalist asked the pope if he would resign. And he said something interesting. In the midst of a candle and all that stuff. He said now is not the time. Its not the time to run when youre in great risk and emergency period. But he said i do believe there are times when a pope, if he doesnt have the strength, can and even should resign. So we did have fair warning. But at the same time, since it is something that hasnt happened in centuries, it always does come as a surprise. And, greg, of course, it raises the natural questions about what is going on with the popes health as the Associated Press is reporting that the popes brother said his doctor said no transatlantic trips. Weve seen it this week. His gait, using a cane in resent weeks. How severe is his health . I dont think theres anything severe about his health. I dont want to give my dad a hard time. Hes four years older than the pope. Hes 90. I think about the pope i think about my dad. Hes 90 years old. Hes in good shape mentallile, but i think twice before i say, hey, dad, lets go to new york. Something i did up until a couple years ago. And i think the pope is exactly the same way with you know, people seeing him, hes having a harder time walking. He started using the cane. On the other hand, just the other night, he looked very tired, but he spoke off the cuff for well over a half hour, and as the pope has done for shown for years, great, great intelligen intelligence. But clearly, physically, he doesnt feel he doesnt feel up to the job. And i think this was somewhat an act of humility to admit that. And before i let you go, how much advance notice did Church Leaders have . How much planning has there been now for this papal conclaves that will elect a new pope . A couple of top officials have phone for quite some time, certainly for several weeks. I was told that just this morning. I only found out a few hours before hand from the popes chief of staff. The chief of staff had known for a few weeks now. And, you know, this theyre used to this, i know its huge news. But the romans, you know, one pope dies, and you elect another one. Thats the old phrase here in rome. In this case, it isnt the pope dying, obviously, its him resigning but in terms of process and conclave it all works like it does every other time. That was vatican senior communication adviser greg burke earlier this morning. As mr. Burke mentioned even for top officials in this country the announcement came as a surprise. Cardinal timothy dolan, the archbishop of new york just learned the news when we called him. He rushed over this morning from st. Patricks cathedral to give us his thoughts. Apparently it is confirmed. You and i both chuckled that this might be another rumor but it sure enough is confirmed. I find myself eager for news. I find myself itching to read the statement in latin. I hope you can translate it. Good luck with that. That the holy father made and i find myself kind of somber. You know, in a way, boy, i loved this pope. Every catholic feels the pope is his father. We call him our holy father. The world looks to him with respect and affection. I sense a special bond with him. I mean, hes the one that appointed me to you all as archbishop to new york. Im wearing the ring he gave me and the cross he gave me. So i feel a particular bond with him and i know the sadness, to be honest with you. On the other hand, my appreciation for him which was already high, is enhanced a bit. Because with this sense of realism that he has such an esteem for the office of the successor of st. Peter which is what the pope is, the bishop of rome, the successor of st. Peter that he says, you know, i may not be up to it t now and perhaps i can best serve jesus and his church and his people by stepping aside. I have to admire him immensely. Even as we stop and pay tribute to what he meant to the papacy and church an enormous responsibility falls on your shoulders as one of the cardinals in the world. Yes, it does. Ive never been through this before. Im still unpacking the red socks from a year ago when i was made a cardinal. Im going to need some coaching here. I dont exact know, except for prayer, which i already do a bunch of, and need to do more of, except for prayer, i dont know what else to do. Ill await instructions of everybody else. There will be, and you help me out, and you correct me on this. Theres a period of sede vicante. When the pope is dead. The chair of peter, ancient sign of teaching and unity, it will be vacant. Ands cardinals pastors and parishes in rome. You came to our church in rome. Our lady of guadalupe, we came together to elect a successor to st. Peter. What are the qualities one looks for in a pope. And is there a short list, as it were . Well, if you look, a good place to start would be look at Pope Benedict. Theres a learning, a savviness about the world, a thee logical depth. Theres unquestionably a personal piety and holiness. Theres a lynn lynn giftic challenge. As a cardinal can you vote for yourself . No, only crazy people can enter the contest. Your eminence, its awfully nice for you to come here this morning. You were one of the first people i spoke to. I promised you when this sad day would come, id be at your service. I look forward to being with you the coming weeks. As you said, there are mixed emotions. There are mixed emotions. I love the guy. What people dont notice is his humility. He almost shrugged and said compared to john paul ii, he said, boy, i dont know if im up for this but ill given it a shot. Hes winsome in his frailness and humanity. And such humanity covering this story, that he was getting his arms around. He took us to rome and vatican. We were there in june of 2011. His love for not only the man but his institution. It was evident then. He took us around and gave us a tour i will never forget. Anyway, we hope to be spend a lot of time with Cardinal Dolan over the coming weeks. We thank him for coming by this morning. One of the many people adjusting to this news. Lets turn to george weigel. Its good to see you. Hi, savannah, how are you . Very well. This is being framed as an act of great humility. You have to go back to the middle ages to find somebody that add voe indicated the papacy in this matter. What do you think the legacy of Pope Benedict will be . I think Pope Benedict is the greatest preacher in the world today. He has a remarkable capacity to express the beautiful truth of the Christian Faith in an accessible way. Its simplicity that comes on a far side of great complexity. This is an extraordinarily learned man as Cardinal Dolan said. What has struck me in the 25 years i have known the man who will return to being joseph ratzinger, is the simplicity of his soul. This is a thoroughly convinced christian believer who happens to be one of the smartest people in the world who speaks six or seven languages with complete flewency, who knows the history of biblical religion from a to z. Who never wanted to be an executive, a manager, who always thought of himself primarily as a scholar. But who somehow could translate all of that learning into beautiful simplicities about gods love for the world and for gods people. And, george, even as we honor the service of this pope, we look forward to the election of a new pope. And tell us about this process. I mean, is this a sort of thing where, for lack of a better term, there are frontrunners . There will be an enormous amount of ink spilled in the Italian Press over the next two weeks about frontrunners. Most of that would be silly. There are a number of cardinals who fit what would seem to me to be the profile. First of all, a man in full physical vigor. That suggests to me someone perhaps under 70. Someone who w the linguistic skills to speak to the church in italian obviously, hes the bishop of rome but also in english, spanish, et cetera. I think above all, a pope who can be peter again, who can be an evangelist, who can be a missionary, who can make the churchs proposal to the world in a compelling and whimsome way. The cardinals ought to be looking at a mans track record. Has he been able to make the christian proposal in an effective way, whats also in a hostile environment. George weigel. Great to get your perspective. I am sure youll be watching for the white smoke as the rest of us will in the coming weeks. Thanks so. Well have much more on the popes decision this morning.

Tourists were wandering around. Nobody really knew about it. I was there. Everybody rushed there with cameras and were they all asking what was that all about. Well, actually the pope is resigning, everybody looked shocks. Well, just as shocked as we looked this morning when we got the news ourselves. Where nobody really saw this coming. Although the pope, Pope Benedict xvi kind of hinted that if he felt that he wasnt Strong Enough to carry on the important tasks as the leader of the Catholic Church, then he will consider resigning. Nobody really thought he would do that before, at least next year. Because this year is the year of the faith of so there must be he must have felt really that his strength was leaving him all of a sudden to decide, or to take such a great grave decision. He even said it himself, that hes fully aware of the gravity of the decision that hes making but obviously, if he has taken this decision there may be major reasons behind it. Right were in now looking at a conclave in the early march or middle of march to choose the next pope. Claudio lavanga, thank you very much. Lets get a check of the weather, al has the latest.

Make sure youre ready. At devry. Edu knowhow. It was a bigger story. Is he worried about backlash from peaking out. Lot of criticism. Is this guy coming out now to make money off this, profiting from this article . Hes not going to profit off this article. Was he made for it . He was not paid for it. He is not going to get paid for it. So far he has resisted the idea of writing a book. Im sure a number of them thought about it, or movie or video games or anything else. He really wanted to tell his story to help his fellow s. E. A. L. S as they leave the service. There were 23 s. E. A. L. S there that night. How do we know that this was the one who actually pulled the trigger . For the story i did a lot of interviews, talked to a lot of s. E. A. L. S who were still in, some who were retired. I talked to a number of people who were there. I was at a dinner. There was a guy called the mentor in this story who is a mentor to the shooter. We call him the shooter, who was with the cia and navy s. E. A. L. S and hes he got a call from a very high official in washington. Absolutely convinced . A couple of hours later saying it was your guy. This guy says he was the last one to see Osama Bin Laden alive. Here is what he says in the interview. I shot him two times in the forehead. The second time as he was going down. He crumpled on the floor in front of his bed. I hit him again. His tongue was out. I watched him take his last breath and i remember, is this the best thing ive ever done or the worst thing ive ever done . Think about that. This is what youve just done. Youve just killed the worlds most wanted terrorist and you have to consider, was this bad or was this good . The good was that he felt he was doing this for the people of new york, for the country. For the s. E. A. L. S. And the bad thing, of course, was the security issue among other things. He signs up for four more months and then he leaves the s. E. A. L. S four years short of his 20year pension time. Right. Now this is really the gist of your article, by the way. He feels that he is fighting a completely different kind of battle . Yes. I work at the center of reporting and weve done fabulous work on v. A. Problems. Nine month average wait for regular vets to get their disability claim adjudicated. His health care that he got from the military, tricare, ended the night he left. He gets no pension, none, zero. Is that because he left four years short of 20 . Yes. If he stayed in at 20rks he would have gotten half his base pay, 2,100 a month. Which is the same, you point out in the article in the navy choir. The guy in the navy choir gets the exact same pension as the guy were asking to be the face of warfare around the world is this. Exactly. What about his security . He is the guy who killed Osama Bin Laden. There are a lot of people who would like to exact revenge on him or his family members for that. What is his situation . He has no security. Obviously he is doing what he needs to do, but he trained his wife to put the kids in the bathtub in their house because it had a reinforcing wall in front of it, should anybody try to get in front of the house. He taught her how to sit on the bed, put a shotgun with her elbow against the wall so she was braced and shoot through the door. His job prospects, he cannot go in to a fortune 500 company or anywhere else and say im the guy who killed bin laden. Give me a job. This never happened. He also cant talk about anything really. Technically, certainly theoretically, this is all private. What you put on your resume when your job has been classified for that long . You feel this is a major injustice thats being carried out not just on this navy s. E. A. L. But all the people in this position for years and years and put their lives on the line and then find the transition to private life, civilian life so difficult . Theres nothing in place i mean, the pentagon had some things, department of defense had some things, even special forces. They have a few programs for these guys but mostly they dont know about it. Is that their fault . Is the independepentagon doing but is not widely known . V. A. Will tell you one Pentagon Program in particular is not widely known. Navy s. E. A. L. S continue to fight bravely, accomplishing crit Critical Mission that is keep our nation safe. The details of the bin laden operation are well known. We take seriously the safety and security of our people as well as our responsibility to assist sailors making the transition to civilian life. Without more information about this particular case, it would be difficult to determine the degree to which our transition progr programs succeeded. Whats the takeaway . The takeaway is that i think its great. I think its great theyre committed to these guys. At the same time what they offered him when he came out from that at the end of the raid, the next day or day after the raid was a form of witness protection. And someone, perhaps jokingly at s. E. A. L. Command said we could get you a job driving a beer truck in milwaukee and you have to break all contact with your extended family. Its like a mafia snitch. They dont even have that program, by the way, yet. Phil bronstein, he has written this article with the man who says he was the one who shot Osama Bin Laden. Its fascinating. Thanks for having me.

Well show you the other side of the bay, fremont 880 slowing out of hayward to here where we see the last portion starting to slow heading into milpitas. 101 really slow around 880 but the earlier crash has cleared from north of 880, now one up to the scene around the interchange.

Well catch up with her in a couple of minute. And taking the stress out of the mealtime with a budgetfriendly menu for every night of the workweek. We want to say hello to miss julianne hough, taking on her first dramatic role in a movie. Many people know safe haven, the Nicholas Sparks book. This is your first strictly speaking, dramatic role. Was that kind of intimidating . It was exciting. It was challenging. I love a challenge. And this is a complete departure from what people discovered me as. Its Nicholas Sparks, so ive been i am the demographic of people who or what . My dad, my family, we were all at the premiere a couple of nights ago. They were tearing up. Its a good sign. Theres your costar there, josh dumel. We understand there are pretty steamy scenes i almost said sex scenes but pretty steamy scenes in here. Hes crying, youre crying. What happens . The story is about a girl who has a bit of a traumatic past and shes moving forward and she goes to south port, north carolina. Definitely therapeutic for me. I think, again, it was a pretty heavy topic that she goes through some domestic abuse. So, to me, it was a nice thing to be able to be free and liberating through, through the acting. Youve read all the Nicholas Sparks books, i imagine. When i was 13 years old, a walk to remember wags ts the f book i read. Its all about first love. This one, though, is more about second chances. I think his the writing in this book and this movie in particular has grown as his books have evolved as well. Theres a bit of spence. Yeah. Not just exactly, not just a straight love story. Theres spencuspense, thriller aspect to it. Definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. Its fun. Kind of kicks some butt. Are you pleased with the way it turned out . Im really excited. Our director was very much about improvising and so this is the first time i really felt like i was hired as an actress. So, it was very exciting. Julianne hough, its great to have you here. Safe haven opens up this thursday, appropriately enough for valentines day. Nice having you here. Thank you, guys. Lets get a check of the weather, mr. Roker. As we look ahead toward the week ahead, abovenormal temperatures in the great lakes. In the northeast, wet weather making our way through the southeast. And colder than normal temperatures out west.

Temperatures will climb into the 60s. 62 in liver more, 62 in concord and 62 today in gilroy. Along the east shore staying just about as mild. Plenty of low 60s across the board.

Dont forget, any time you need that weather go to the Weather Channel on cable or weather. Com online. A new type of family. Parenting partnerships for couples who are not in romantic relationships. Well talk about. But first this is today on nbc. Back now at 8 37 with a new spin on the modern family. Couples who are not dating or married but choosing to raise a child together. An arrangement that comes with some criticism. Heidi sedowski and david share a biological connection with their son, but they dont share a romantic relationship with each other. This is someone ive own for a very, very long time and i trust and i love her. When heidi turned 41, she explored anonymous sperm donor options. It left me feeling a little cold inside. I really wanted my child to have two parents and i wanted to share responsibility of raising a child with somebody. So she turned to her gay friend of 20 years, david, who also wanted children. And i said, david, we talked about this. Im ready. I just knew i was going to be this great dad. Three months later, heidi was pregnant. While heidi and david believe their coparenting is rooted in having nates best interest in mind, experts say this trend should be approached with caution. The center for marriage and families at the institute for American Values says, at best these parents are creating a good divorce situation. At worst, parents who have no foundation ace couple will soon face many conflicts over how to raise the child. If you dont love the other person you are parenting your child with, it makes it that much more difficult to compromise. While heidi and david admit their family may not be as traditional as others, they stand by their decision. We feed and love and clothe and shelter him. The fact that were not married is not a big deal. David, eric and heidi sidowski is with us. Connecting people who are looking for a coupleless coparenting partnership. Good morning to all of you. Thank you for being here. Good morning. We know what the good news is. You have this beautiful little boy, nate, that we just saw. How is this working out . What is the biggest challenge so far . The Biggest Challenges for me so far, we do have separate households. It takes a lot of communicating. We need to really be on the same page. If were not under the same roof thats a bit of a challenge at times. When nate was little, he spends one night a week right now with david. Is your ultimate goal to have the time split 50 50 . I think thats going to evolve over time. As nate gets older, we will see whats best for him as far as where hes going to school and what have you. The time he spends with david will definitely increase over time. I dont know if it will be 50 50. We have to decide what is in nates best interest. Youve known each other 20 years. Youve sorted out a lot of the nuts and bolts, legal, finances and custody. Theres so much in parenting thats truly unpredictable. Thats right. Do you worry about that at all . If i worried, it would shut me down. And i always think about the best interests of my son. And we know as a couple, as a de facto couple that things are going to change along the way. We have to be open to that. You mentioned the best trst child. You heard the criticism. This most approximates, i guess, a friendly divorce situation. Is it good for a child to be shuttling through both households . I think if thats all that child knows, then it becomes normal. It becomes okay. And as long as you provide the love and care and support that that child needs, whether youre in one household or two, it works. Let me turn to you, darren. Have you had a huge response to your website . Absolutely. I founded family by design as a new parenting option for millions of adults in their 30s and 40s who are single, childless and still want to become parents. We all know someone like that our lives. Think of liz lemon from 30 rock, for example. We educate people about what are parenting partnerships and walk them through a process. We actually connect people with our matching technology and we have experts and people in these types of relationships on the site to answer their questions and give them more information. There was a Family Advocacy Group Spokesperson quoted in the times, its a terrible idea, con signing a child to be raised in two different worlds with parents who did not even attempt to form a loving bond with one another. Would you agree that in the best circumstances, a child should be raised in a home where the family in the Traditional Nuclear Family . I think tradition i come from the traditional relationship. And i think, of course, thats a wonderful way to have a family. Listen, we all know someone who is that person, right . We know someone who is that Single Person who just has wonderful love and care and would make such a great parent. And if you can connect two people of that same mindset together and get them talking about the issues around parenting and take the time to build that relationship before they go down that path, thats going to be a really lucky child. I was going to say, its a little bit like a dating website, plus more. How long do you recommend couples talk about this before they take this on . Im also writing a book on parenting partnerships. Ive interviewed dozens of couples in this type of relationship to understand what are the issues. There are three things it comes down to. First you have to take the time to get to know the person and build a real bond of friendship. That does take time. It does not happen overnight. Number two, you have to like talk through all the issues around parenting and write it down. What are your feelings about what you need to cover. And to your point, once you have a child, things change and you have to build in the flexibility and strength in the relationship. Very quickly, heidi and david, any advice . Know what youre getting into. Its not dating. Were creating the stakes are very, very high. Were creating a life and we have a son together. And know what you want as well. From the female half of the partnership, if it is a male female couple, if you will, know if you want an involved parent versus just an anonymous donor. Interesting to get your story and your perspective. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you. What do you think of coupleless coparenting . Will it take off .

Im very protective of my girls. We have four on each team and carolina eliminated my girl and i was just not ready for it. And you let her know it in no uncertain terms. I let her know it, yeah. I was reading something. Youf done some press for the show. At the beginning of the show, you say people dont know the real you. Thats right. Weve heard a lot of stories about you over the years. Whats not true . I cant say whats not true and whats true. On this show, youll get to see me and i speak about things that ive never ive never been one to justify anything. I speak pretty much in depth about things ive never spoken about before. Are you that intense . Are you that competitive . Im competitive. Are you tough on the contestants . Im competitive, absolutely. First and foremost, its not about us, the mentors. Its about my girls. And we do have a life of someone in our hands thats going to win a big contract. And its important that this is done properly. And that they really do get the auth au authenticity. I was surprised you would do Reality Television only because for the last ten years a lot of your life has resembled Reality Television. I know. Why do you want to be out there like this . Because its not a camera following me and my life. I would never display my life and what i do and where i travel and where i live. I need to keep that anonymity for me. When i was called and asked about this show, to share what ive been doing for 28 years, which will be in april. I thought this is Something Different other than just following me around for no reason. So im happy to share what ive learned in this business. There isnt a model handbook to guide. So, this has somewhat taken that form. Discovered at the age of 15rks still in demand in the business. How has that happened . Is it as much about beauty as it is about attitude these days . I think you have to have both. Now you have to go and do instore signings, meet with the consumers. You have to be much more personable than before when i started. You could just be the face. Was that hard for you in the beginning, when they asked you to start doing those things . Yeah. I got to start that kind of thing slowly, slowly in europe and then, you know, building up around the world. And its like, making personal appearances. Yes, it was. You have to pick it up very quickly. Just like i had to pick doing this show up very quickly. Legendary at television and reality and do iing other shows he has been graciously helping me from the first day off. I was like, what do i do . What do i say . Then i just forgot the cameras are not there for me. Its really about my girls and giving them as much time as i can for myself and mentoring them. Will you offer advice with these ladies . Im in touch with my girls. Some of them flew in today. Thick skin part of the advice . You have to teach them about rejection because its out there and thats real. You have to teach them its not about you if they dont accept you for a job. You cant take it personally inside and Say Something is wrong with me. Youre just not right for that job and you have to go on for the next. Naomi campbell and the face appears tomorrow night on our sister station oxygen. Thanks for being with us. Thank you, matt.

Im willie geist inside studio 1a along with al roker and nataliemorales. We have our pick three in a moment. We have a special guest. But we got surprising news this morning, Pope Benedict resigning. You have some more information on that, natalie. Thats right. Pope benedict xvi made the stunning announcement this morning he will be stepping down. Rome bureau chief claudio lavagne joins us now with more. Good morning, claudio. Reporter good morning, natalie. Even the elements seem to be reacting to his shocking news. Theres a storm raging over vatican city just behind me now. It took everybody by surprise, this announcement this morning. It even took by surprise his closest aides, his spokesperson, lombardi, saying in a press conference that he didnt even know about it, and if he didnt know about it, then who would . Well, maybe just the closest cardinals he confessed it to. The cardinals, more than 120 now. Certainly he made his announcement as if it was a lowkey decision. He did that during a fairly small cardinals gathering here in the vatican and he just said, look, i just dont have the strength anymore to carry on my duties. You need both body and mind to carry on the very important duties of the pope and the leader of the billion Catholic Church and he just doesnt have the strength anymore. Claudio lavagne reporting outside vatican city. Thank you very much. Hoping that a 1 million reward will lead to new clues for the search of former cop Christopher Dorner, suspected of killing a Police Officer and a couple engaged to be married. In Surveillance Video obtained by nbc news, sources say dorner dumped a gun belt, helmet, Police Uniform and ammunition the morning after the first two murders last weekend. His trial went his trail, rather, went cold in the mountains three miles outside of los angeles. It could be at least two days before a Carnival Cruise ship stranded in the gulf of mexico is towed to the nearest port. The carnival triumph lost power after an engine room fire. Nobody was hurt. The ship is relying on a backup generator. The ship left galveston, texas, thursday with more than 4,000 passengers and crew on board. And damage is still being assessed after a huge tornado swept through hattiesburg, mississippi, sunday. A wave of severe storms downed trees and injured more than 12 people across that state. Skiing champion lindsey vonn is recovering this morning after undergoing surgery on her right knee to repair two shredded ligaments. She crashed at the world skiing championships in austria last week. The 28yearold hopes to be healed in time to represent the u. S. At the 2014 olympics in sochi. Even a blizzard couldnt keep moviegoers away from a good comedy. Identity thief, Jason Bateman and Melissa Mccarthy debuted took top honors and warm bodies, zombie romance. New genre. I know. Side effects opened in third. Rom zombies. At least theyre date noug not eating each other. They need romance, too. They do. Natalie, thanks. How about a quick check of the weather . Unfortunately weve got another system to talk about, already pounding the northeast. Down south, the same system that caused the tornadoes down south is firing up again, rachl amounts anywhere from three to six inches of rain. To the north, weve got more icy conditions making their way to the northeast, bringing sleet and freezing rain to boston, providence and everywhere in between. Winter weather advisories up to caribou, maine. Freezing rain advisories from Central New Jersey 9 04. Taking a live look. Beautiful clear sky over sunol.

A steady climb all the way through friday. Well hold on to that warmth into the upcoming weekend. Temperatures in the upper 60s. And thats your latest weather. Good, more weather. Thanks a lot, al. Abby huntsman, host for huff post live and daughter, by the way, of former president ial candidate. Good to have you here. Striking similarities. Good to be here. I covered you and your Fathers Campaign quite a bit. This was a year ago. Yeah. Have you kind of stopped to think about what that was like and what it meant to you and your family . Did you like being in the public eye that way . You know, it was an experience well never forget, traveling the country and just seeing democracy at its best. There are some emotional times, though, where you just pondering back, you know, there are some tough moments. But its something that, as a family, we got we became so close. And my dad is doing better than ever, you know. And some would say its a bit of a blessing. No regrets, obviously. You cant look back and say what if. A lot of people say, he could have been the one to actually be the president. Thats not how we look at t it was an incredible experience for our hole family and are grateful for the opportunity. There are still some people in the country that would like to see your dad take another crack at it. Im sure youll see more of him in the next little while. He has always been the first to say i want to serve my country and help out the party wherever i can. The party has some issues and needs some help and some vision. Hes thinking about maybe running again . I dont know. Nice try. Nice try. Well see a lot more of him. Get a little bit of a break. Hes still happily married and thats not what you can always say about politics. Well leave it there for you. Take one, big night at the grammys. Good night for indy fans. Black keys. Gauthier, mumford sons. A lot of them performed, too. Won album of the year. Thats fun. Thats fun right there. Banjo. All about the banjo. Foot stomping. The lot of talk, though, besides the winners was about this dress code, right . Yes, the memo. What you could and could not wear. What cbs put out. Whats the puffy skin . Exactly. What does that mean . This was just a case where it was leaked, the memo is sent out every year. Interesting. I didnt know that. You saw a lot of the musicians wore scandalous dresses. But the usual. The the usual. A lot of cleavage, a lot of side boob. Thats another category. Its a category now. The memo said no side boob. Beyonce. Very buttoned up. Did you like it . Very nice, black and white. No puffiness there. Rihanna . Red dress is absolutely stunning. As you can see, some people say it was a little you can see a Little Something there. Its a little see through. Little bit see through. I thought she was a little more covered up. The guys had no problem with that. Willie geist has been studying it. Im just looking at it before i comment. She had three dresses, i believe. She wore a very conservative black dress when she was singing up on stage. Then j. Los dress. She actually early on addressed the memo. Here was her, about to give an award. As you can see, i read the mem memo. You look gorgeous. There you go. Angelina had it going on. The embarrassing thing, matt wore that this weekend. Didnt look that good, though. Casual wear around the house. Leg has become the new thing, right . Got to show the leg. Other moments that went viral, Kelly Clarkson Photo Bombing ellen and portia de rossi. Performing on stage and sort of butterflies came flying out of her dress. Pretty. I thought it was cool. I wondered if i was half asleep or not. Hallucinating a little bit. Did you have a favorite performance . Elton john and ed shearing. Right. Great number. Alicia keys and Avril Levigne from maroon five. Theyve been around ten, 15 years. Now they can finally get out there and be hrd herd. Once you win a grammy, are you now still an indy band . I dont know. Im thinking underground. Take two, Melissa Mccarthy getting the last laugh. Fans of the actress are rallying to her defense after film critic rex reed called her, to his terms, tractor size and a female hippo, very wellknown commentator on film. He hasnt been relevant since superman one. The 70s called. Youre welcome to go back. He still has a column, writes for the new York Observer talking about her new film identity thief. Which one as we said ro sweet redemption for her. And it would have been better, had it not been for the snow storm. She got the last laugh. Basically he said Melissa Mccarthy has made a career by being obese and obnoxious. He has made a career being small minded and an idiot. Hurtful, offensive and masogenistic. But also unprofessional. Evaluate the movie and not not comment about someones size. We see it in the world of politics. With chris christie. You dont have to like him. You can disagree with his politics. We see media figures, politicians making fat jokes about him. He is governing right now. Its not as if hes not in good enough shape to be governor. Shes entertaining us. We enjoy watching her. Who are we to judge what she looks like or what she eats . People voted with their pocketbook. By the way, shes hilarious. Justin bieber was across the street at snl over the weekend, host and musical address and addre guest and addressing head on what you might call scandal about him smoking marijuana. I hear he still has his baby teeth. I also heard he got busted for smoking weed and hes really sorry about it and that people make mistakes and hes never going to do it again. Yeah, right. Me, too okay. That qualifies as an apology . An explanation perhaps. Pretty good, though. Its hard to see someone at the pinnacle of their career stumble like this. But its how they handle it. I think he did a good job addressing it head on. And adding humor, if you can laugh at yourself its always the way to do it. Abby huntsman, glad to have you here. Thank you. Huntsman in 2016. Abby is running. I just might. The best bargains right now after this. The boys used double miles from their capital one venture card to fly home for the big family reunion.

Im marla tellez. In los gatos the city is going around round in an issue about gun sales. A Sporting Goods store is selling guns on university avenue. Some say the city should have held a public hearing before approving permits for the store. Tonights meeting starts at 7 00 at los gatos town hall. Two people are expected to survive after crashing their car down a south bay ravine. Firefighters were called to the scene yesterday around the 00 on Mount Hamilton road a mile east of where it meets clayton road. The victims car fell 150 feet below the road. One person had minor injuries and that person was able to get out of the wreck. But the other person suffered significant injuries and remained trapped. It took rescue crews several hours to reach them and bring them up the hillside. Well check that forecast and also the roads after the break. Welcome back. The time is 9 28. Beautiful day shaping up over San Francisco. Still cold out there. Grab your coat. But you can ditch it later on today. Temperatures will climb to the low 60s. Mid60s expected in places like santa rosa. 62 on the east shore and fremont. Right here in san jose, 61 degrees. Getting into tomorrow temperatures level off, then the climb is on. Wednesday through friday temperatures starting to exceed their seasonal averages. In fact well be at the 70 degree mark by friday and hold on to that warmth through the weekend. Lets check your traffic. Were looking at the 101 in palo alto north of university. Slow a bit into Mountain View but not a big deal. Oakland get a look at 880 as the traffic is slow through the area. But the southbound side, the earlier crash has cleared. Still latent t slow down toward the coliseum. But not a big deal. Also not a big deal through hayward. But 580 is the issue. We had a crash, that clear bud theres still a stall over near vasco road. A tough drive getting into livermore. An earlier crash had moved to the shoulder but still a distraction from sunol into fremont. Well be back with our next update in about 30. 9 56. The snow has turned to rain here in new york city. Were back now with more of today on a monday morning. Im willie geist alongside al roker and natalie morales. Fighting a cold with natural remedies, vitamin c, chicken soup and zinc. Which of those may work and may not work. How to bring a little romance and passion back into your day, especially with valentines day coming up. Well meet a woman who wanted Carrie Bradshaws sex and the city life and ended up living with a rabbi. Theres a story there. A woman and a rabbi walk into a bar. Explain that one. Lets check the weather. European model bringing a storm system through the southeast later today and then offshore by some time wednesday night into early thursday morning. Now, this model brings it off mostly some lighter snow and no problems. The american models keep it closer and colder and actually suggesting a little bit stronger of a storm. Well have to wait and see what happens. Right now we know we have icing conditions in parts of southern new england. Snow in northern new england. Wet weather up and down the east coast, down into the gulf coast. Look for snow in the central rockies. Beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest underly partly sunny skies. 63 partly 9 31. Back to work monday taking a live look, beautiful start to the day over the San Francisco bay. We do have a little bit of shake to this camera as offshore winds will bring our temperatures up above seasonal averages. A good day shapg up. 63 degrees in fairfield. 64 for napa and 63 in San Francisco, that goes for san jose as well. Temperatures stay level, then we climb. In fact well be above average wednesday through valentines day. Upper 60s on the way. Thats your latest weather. Natalie . Al, thank you. On todays relationships, bringing back the romance. Michelle callahan is the author of ms. Typed stop sabotaging your relationships and find dating success. Good morning, ladies. Good morning. Judith, let me start with you. We know what romance feels like. When you try to put it into words its hard to define. That spark between two people. It could be a moment. Could be a mood. But it leads to some feeling of i would call it positive, emotional arousal. Emotional arousal, michelle, as opposed to sexual arousal here . Because theres a difference. Yes. You can have sex without romance but you can also have romance without sex. We want people to know its okay to be you dont have to be sexually active to have romance in your life, to have romantic interactions. So whether its with a stranger, having that little interaction, or with your spouse of some 40 years, its about bringing that spark back. And little things, right . Its a little juice. And you can create it. You can create an opportunity to do it. You need a little imagination, a little flirtation and the willingness to touch. Those three things, doesnt matter whether you have a 40year partner or fourminute. You have something going. Some people, though, may fear rejection or they may just have put romance by the wayside. They just dont feel romantic anymore. How do you kind of approach whoever it is youre trying to be romantic with and kind of get that back . If youre shut down, yourself, it will involve taking a little bit of lift. Were talking eye contact. Were talking eye smile at a stranger in the coffee shop. Little things, yeah. Just that to keep yourself out there and alive. This is the icing on our cake. You dont have to do without that icing any time in life. Its just a smile. If the person doesnt smile back you can keep moving. Chances are they will. That opens up the opportunity for more interaction. You have to be willing to take a risk, right . Absolutely. When we think of romance, sometimes we get older, we often dont think as older people as having that romantic spark. The people that do not think that older people dont have that romantic spark are our children. We just dont want to think about that maybe. And i say dont tell them. But the fact is, that spark is there. If you got that spark going and when you get that spark back, its going in the home. It can carry us out of the home, that spark. I would imagine that romance would get better with age. It certainly can. For some people they have changes that make them feel less confident. They go through biological changes, hormonal changes. It can actually keep going and we can keep it moving if you just stay confident and just, you know, be creative with it. Keep one huge thing in mind. Romance is appreciating somebody else. Its not about me and what i look like and what my its about you and the fact that i think youre adorable and i just might tell you today because that feels good to both of us. We were talking on friday we did a whole we talked about this survey in a book and they basically say communication really is the key to bringing that romance back. Express the feeling. Express the thought. Its a lowrisk, highreward thing to do. Just talking can be very flirtatious. That communication, as you were saying before, just a little bit of touch. The study also talked about affection. Even like you said, a touching of the hand. A touching of the elbow. A wink, a hug. Instead of shaking hands, what if you give them a hug and a side kiss . Thats very romantic. The eyes are going. Im working it. Its working. Im feeling the connection. Judith stills and michelle callahan, thank you. Happy valentines day. Happy valentines day to you. Thanks. Coming up, cold remedies that work, right after this. Mor. I love bread. I love cheese. Did i say i Love Chocolate . Im human and the new Weight Watchers 360 program lets me be.

Dr. Roshini raj is today contributor and professor at new yorks langnone medical center. Some work, some dont. This is cold and flu season. People want relief. Lets start with echinacea. Been around hundreds of years as a cold remedy but Scientific Evidence doesnt back it up. Studies have been mixed at best. When we look at it carefully, theres not been a benefit shown of shortening the duration or symptoms of the cold. People with asthma, it can be made worse by taking echinacea or if you have an allergy to Something Like ragweed. You have to be careful with that one. Zinc. I always heard got a sore throat, take some zinc. Studies have been mixed. Although recently a larger view of the different study did show some benefit, shortening the duration of a cold by one day. Children who take zinc regularly have less colds during the winter. Take it, in a sense, prophylactically. Sprays have been linked to a permanent loss of smell. Thats not good. Not good at all. Fda did issue a warning a couple of years ago. You dont hear that a lot. You dont. Its not a fun thing when you lose your sense of smell. I got it. Vitamin c. Again, something people have been talking about for many years, whether its in orange juice, oranges or the actual vitamin c supplement. Here again the studies havent shown a great benefit. One exception, i will say, is that people who exercise or are doing very strenuous things in cold temperatures, people in the military or marathon runners who run outside, construction worker, there has been a benefit shown to taking vitamin c every day to prevent colds. In a supplement or as a juice form . That was in a supplement, yeah. For the average person, probably not going to show a big benefit. Yeah. Alltime fave, chicken soup. This one actually does work. Surprisingly. Studies have shown that chicken soup theyre not exactly sure which ingredient, but it has some antiinflammatory effects and helps the passage of mucus, which can decongest you. And it makes you feel better. Theres a psychological benefit . Oh, sure, the comfort. Mom made it for us. Grandmas chicken soup. Im not being fresh here but what about honey . Well now that you mention it, its one of those remedies that actually works. Anticough properties. It works well for children as well. It also helps soothe an achy or irritating throat and can help with the clearing of mucus in the back of your throat. Littleknown fact, honey is the one food that will never, ever go bad. Actually found them in the pyramids and they were still good. Honey sometimes contains something, toxin, never use it for a child under 1. Got it. This is one of the if disgusting things. I think it looks cute. Its what you do with it. Its not like, ooh, aladdin, i would like to run water through my nose. The idea here is saline rinse. Using salt water to rinse out the nasal package passage, squie or neti pot. Ive used it myself. What does it do . Basically you hold it up, tilt your head back and pour water into your nose to rinse out mucus, virus part icles as well. Pregnant women i didnt want to take any Cold Medicine while i was pregnant and it actuay helped. Do you still do it . I do. There you go warning with this one, make sure the water youre using is either boiled, distilled or sterile. There have been reports of people getting infections from impure water. Humidifiers. Cold viruses thrive in dry environment. Keep your house as humid as possible, especially your bedroom. Nasal passages can get dried out. Steam shower works just as well. This is when you get it all night. You have to make sure these are clean, too. Replace the water daily and clean the machine. They can harbor mold, fungus, bacteria. Then you have to pour this through your nose, take a spoonful of honey. Dr. Roshini raj, thank you very much. Thank you. One womans search for the sex and the city lifestyle after these messages.

Journalist rebecca dana thought she had it all, the boyfriend, the apartment in new york city. When her relationship ended pretty abruptly, she moved sbout found a new home with cosmo, an orthodox rabbi. Her new book the jujitsu rabbi and the godless blond. Good to see you. Good to see you. Well get to the identity of the jujitsu rabbi. Youre raised in pittsburgh. Yes. Jewish but i was nerdy as a kid, went to space camp twice. Did you really . I really did. I spent a lot of time alone in my room in our little house in a culdesac and growing up and being a fabulous character like i saw on tv on sex and the city. In many ways you grew up to become that person. You moved to new york city, got the job, went to the glamorous parties. Did the reality live up to what your dream had been . In some ways it really did. I got here. It was a glamorous, fabulous exciting life although i was way too poor to afford the shoes that Carrie Bradshaw wore. As i spent a few years going to these parties and writing about fashion and media, it occurred to me that it was unfulfilling in some pretty big ways. Now things get interesting. You break up with your boyfriend. Everything kind of crashed in on my head at the same time, which seemed to me in that moment the worst thing that had ever happened to anyone ever. Ive now realized it happens to absolutely everybody at some point in their 20s. And craigslist actually brought you together and changed your life with this guy were calling him cosmo. A Russian Orthodox rabbi, who practices jujitsu. Electric bass, listening to punk rock and, without question, the funniest human being ive ever met. You room in, become roommates. You didnt date. No. What did you learn from him . Cosmo called this our cultural exchange. I would take him to movie premieres and parties in manhattan and he would take me to dinners and introduce me to other members of this ultra orthodox, very traditional, religious community. It was kind of an odd couple story of our time together. I really i went into this community having a lot of, i would say, misconceptions and prejudices about what their lives were like. Im not proud of it, but its true. In getting to meet especially the women in the ultra orthodox community, i was totally blown away. These are beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent, kind, warm women who were my age and had three, four, five kids and were, in many cases, very happy. Did cosmo and that community then change your idea of what the dream was . Did it become less about the Carrie Bradshaw life because of cosmo . There are still a lot of perks to the Carrie Bradshaw life. It opened my eyes to an idea of community and family as being the center of your world. Spending less time thinking about fancy things and glamorous parties and a little more time thinking about the people around me and my family is what matters most. Cosmo has read the book . He has. What does he think . I dont want to give away too ch about cosmo. He has had a pretty remarkable transformation that you get sort of at the end but he had lots of notes and opinions along the way. One of his thoughts, which i perhaps stupidly followed was he encouraged me to put my actual email in the book in case there are any women out there who would like to go on a date with him. I would like to say to all of america, if anyone would like to date cosmo, i can set you up. He sounds like a catch and he has the jujitsu thing going, which doubles it. Exactly. Congratulations on the book. Thank you so much. Were back with more of today on nbc. Coming up tomorrow on today, als psa. Thats right. Today takes action. Were helping out the ad council, 70th anniversary. My psa is one that i will say is very timely. Absolutely. And hits close to home for so many people. Yes.
