This morning passing a right to work law. Authorities are bracing for thousands of angry protesters planning to challenge the law, which could have an impact in other union heavy states across the nation. Elaine quijano is at the State Capitol in lansing, michigan. Elaine, good morning. Reporter good morning. The protests here in Michigan First popped up last week and only expected to get bigger. In fact, so many teachers took personal leave to be here today that two School Districts in the Detroit Metro area were forced to cancel classes. Hey, hey, ho, ho, right to work has got to go reporter at michigan State Capitol, theyre planning to return today in record numbers. Protesters determined to defend one of the Biggest Union strongholds in the country. I think that will be historical if 10,000 people do show up. Reporter at issue michigans right to work legislation which would make it illegal to force workers to join unions or pay dues. Republican lawmakers pushed the measure through last week without any debate, sparking widespread outbreak. Right to work has got to go reporter even president obama weighed in at a detroit truck factory monday. These right to work dont have anything to do with economics. They have everything to do with politics. What theyre really talking about is giving you the right to work for less money. Reporter advocates insist the measure is about attracting jobs and in a recent poll, 54 of michigan voters said they generally support right to work laws. It will create competition within the unions and give Better Customer Service to the union brothers. Reporter but opponents call it a deceptive attempt to chip away at organized labor. Its not about more jobs, this legislation is trying to reduce the middle class even further. Reporter 23 other stits already have right to work laws, mostly in the south and west. Michigan is one of the most heavily unionized states, 17. 5 of workers are members. Similar battles have boiled over in indiana and wisconsin. Republican Governor Rick Snyder is a reluctant supporter of the legislation. Im not happy about being in this situation but given its here im going to do whats best for the citizens of michigan my customers. Reporter the republicans will take final action on the bill today. Governor rick snyder pledged to sign the legislation. Back to you. Elaine quijano thank you. The president was in michigan to rally support for his plan to avoid the fiscal cliff and with just 21 days left until the deadline, a new gallup poll shows most americans Want Congress to compromise on spending and tax cuts. 70 say republicans and Democratic Leaders should make a deal now, up eight points since last week. Major garrett is at the white house covering the fiscal talks. Good morning. Reporter good morning and good morning to our viewers out west. One thing has been agreed upon in the fiscal cliff talks, not to discuss the details. Many look at this bipartisan silence and see an encouraging sign but white house and congressional sources tell me that while the atmosphere around these talks is positive between the president and speaker john boehner, when it gets to the underlying details, progress is maddeningly slow. President obama telephoned Senate Majority leader harry reid monday while rob nabors huddled for a second day in a row aide to speaker john boehner. No discernible progress toward breaking the fiscal cliff stalemate. Mr. Obama left that drama behind and told supporters in suburban detroit the fiscal cliff is serious business. If congress doesnt act soon, meaning in the next few weeks, starting on january 1st, everybodys going to see their income taxes go up. Reporter boehner and House Republicans want to preserve all the bush era tax rates due to expire at years end, shielding everyone from a tax increase. Mr. Obama wants to raise them for households earning more than 250,000 a year. He has so far resisted gop demands for spending cuts to health care or education. Im not going to have a situation where the wealthiest among us, including folks like me, get to keep all our tax breaks and then were asking students to pay higher student loans. Reporter even so, democrats worry mr. Obama might cave to republicans, their biggest fear, the president will do what he considered in 2011, raise the eligibility age for medicare, a top House Democrat monday warned the white house to tread lightly. Now that would save a lot of money for the federal government and look good on the Balance Sheet but hes not going to vote for it and im not going to vote for it. Reporter this is a big part of the story to come. If theres a deal thats a huge breakthrough but lawmakers still have to vote for it and democrats oppose large structural cuts to medicare and most republicans oppose income tax rates on the socalled wealthy. Thats why lawmakers were told not to make big fiscal travel plans because the crisis could go to new years eve. Political director John Dickerson joins us. How does a unionized state like michigan become a right to work state and what does it say about the politics of the country today . Well, it becomes a right to work state by having a legislature thats dominated by republicans, and this is, its extraordinary. We just had an election which both candidates on both sides talked about the big themes in this country and so you might think that politics might have stopped and settled for a moment or maybe that politics is around the fiscal cliff but the right to work question has been a central part of the conservative movement that has been pushing regardless of president ial elections and this is a big victory for conservative forces who have been pushing for this in michigan right at the heart of the union movement. But the president won michigan in the general election. Doesnt matter. President won michigan and not only that, union forces tried to put a measure on the ballot which the president is bringing all votes to forestall just whats happening right now and that measure lost at the ballot box. What were seeing is forces that are basically totally delinked from the president ial race, from the president ial forces and you know, conservatives took a pounding at the president ial level, but here theyve been pushing and theyre about to get a victory here at the state level. Lets turn to the fiscal cliff. We heard Major Garrett report that progress is maddeningly slow. Theres been so much attention on republicans and whether john boehner will go for tax revenues but getting the democrats to agree to entitlement cuts may be harder as you heard some of the democrats say. Well, it depends. The big prize is still finding some way to get conservative republicans to vote with john boehner but youre right. This is the reason that all the details are in secret is because negotiators are kind of suggesting and hinting at ways they may bend and flex but the reason they never want any details to get public is that if one side is going to bend, theyre going to expect the other side to bend, too, and only until everybody get their bending sort of alined can they present them to their sides because the minute democrats hear entitlements will be touched theyll want to know what theyre getting in return. Same with republicans. So youre right the same dynamic is in play. Republicans say if were going to raise tax rates what are we going to get in return. Democrats say raising tax rates isnt much of a prize. We won the election. If youre asking us to do these big cuts what would happen if the president said to john boehner, this is where i will cut education and entitlements and medicare, what would the republicans do then . Well, hes saying that in a way in these negotiations. What they need is basically enough to give john boehner something he can go back and sell to his republicans and boehner cant go too far on tax rates because he knows the further he goes on raising tax rates, the bigger a prize hell need on entitlements and democrats say wait a minute, this isnt a prize. This is peoples benefits that go to people, real americans and thats the question here. John boehner needs Something Big that he can take back to republicans that he can say look, yes, i know you dont want to raise tax rates. What is big enough . Two things, one, size, numbers, dollars. He needs a big number that he can say this is a huge amount of savings were getting here. The other thing is symbolic and thats whats interesting about raising the eligibility age. That has taken on a big, symbolic value and so Something Like that might be something cosell. John boehner wants 600 billion in health savings, the president wants 350 billion, well end up somewhere in between. John dickerson thank you. A navy s. E. A. L. Is making his final journey home. Petty officer first class Nicolas Checque was killed saturday trying to rescue a doctor in afghanistan. David martin is at the pentagon. Reporter petty officer first class Nicolas Checque came home for the final time last night, his flagdraped casket arriving at Dover Air Force base in delaware. Nicolas checque had been a navy s. E.

Joseph and two afghan Staff Members of Morningstar Development were seized wednesday on the mountains east of kabul. The taliban released the two afghans but were demanding a 100,000 ransom for joseph, a price Morningstar Development could not afford to pay. The two afghans told the American Military joseph was being abused by his captors with slaps to the head. That convinced general john allen, the Top Commander in afghanistan, to order the rescue mission before the taliban could transport joseph into pakistan beyond the reach of u. S. Forces. On saturday night checque and other members of the s. E. A. L. Team six squad ron conducted a Helicopter Assault on a mountain hideout 50 miles from the pakistani border. Checque was killed in the firefight. Seven seven talibans were killed. Joseph was unharmed. He is a most celebrated war but comes at a price. Since 9 1165 s. E. A. L. S have been killed, most in afghanistan. We have new information this morning on the condition of former South African president nelson mandela, spent the last three days, three nights in a Military Hospital. Mark phillips is pretoria, south afri africa. Reporter the latest medical bulletin is brief and reassuring. Mandela is suffering from a chest infection, hes being treated to are that here at this Military Hospital in pretoria and were told hes responding to that treatment. Hes exactly the kind of infection he had almost precisely two years ago when he was hospitalized in johannesburg and then allowed to return home to recover. The medical bulletin today has not said how long mandela will stay in this hospital, or where hell go afterwards, either back to johannesburg or back to his homeville nlg village at kunu,s known to preferred to live. For cbs this morning im Mark Phillips in pretoria. In this country federal agents arrested 25 people monday along the Pacific Coast near los angeles. They were coming ashore in a type of fishing boat often used tokers smuggle drugs. Were told not to make in the war on drugs has shifted from land to blea nrats. With the coast guard to see the new front line. Reporter when a coast guard helicopter spotted this mexican fishing boat loaded with marijuana, the drug smugglers started tossing bales of pot into the ocean. These waters off the california coast are now one of the prime drug routes from mexico to the u. S. This is challenging for us, as this increase goes up, were trying to step up our game. Reporter admiral carl schultz says intercepting drugs has always been part of the coast guards mission but never this widespread or this dangerous. Last week one of his guardsmen was killed when a mexican drug boat rammed an inflatable Coast Guard Boat off the coast of santa barbara. Theyre dangerous folks working for dangerous organizations looking to conduct illegal activity in our waters. Reporter better security at the land border between the u. S. And mexico has pushed the cartels to the water. They often hire mexican fisherman who load their boats known as pangas with up to 8,000 pounds of pot. Theyre doing the work of the drug cartel which controls this smuggling car for and so theyre being offered a large amount of money to smuggle drugs. Reporter in the past year, authorities seized 102,000 pounds of marijuana off the california coast. Thats nearly five times as much as the year before. Roger, 99, clear. Reporter the coast guard is having to quickly adapt to larger drug boats that are able to travel greater distances. There could be two people on board, there could be eight to ten people on board, just depending on what operation that theyre carrying out at that particular time. Reporter you have to respond to almost anything. Absolutely. Reporter in 2008, drug runners were landing in san diego. By 2010 as far north as los angeles and this year they have moved nearly 400 miles up the coast to beach town no one ever thought would be on a drug route. Because the drug smugglers are heading further north and further offshore theyre often sending two boats, one for the drugs and one for fuel. Sometimes they offload the drugs on the pleasure boats hoping to get to shore undetected. Its a cat and mouse game but you know, we dont give up. Reporter because every day there are more boats headed north filled with drugs. For cbs this morning ben tracy, los angeles. And tornadoes are causing trouble down south. Look at this. Funnel cloud caught on tape in edgewater, florida, east of orlando, earlier yesterday another tornado hit birmingham, alabama. This homeowner was describing that storm when his roof fell in.

Welcome back, everybody, to cbs this morning. We turn now to a story in new york. Violent crime in busy midtown manhattan is a fraction of what it used to be. So it was a shock here yesterday when a man was shot and killed in broad daylight. It happened outside a school a few steps from carnegie hall, central park, and a major shopping district. As Terrell Brown reports, it all happened with no warning. Reporter witnesses describe the killing as a coldblooded execution. One loud shot. We were all standing here, and we were all scared to death. We looked down the block, we saw the guy on the floor. Reporter at around 2 00 p. M. On tuesday, this busy intersection in midtown came to a standstill when the gunman wearing a dark coat and hooded sweatshirt came up behind 31yearold Brandon Lincoln woodard who police say was visiting new york from los angeles. Investigators believe the gunman fired what appeared to be a silver semiautomatic pistol. The bullet struck woodard in the head. When i seen him, i seen blood coming out of the face. Reporter delivery truck driver david mirambeau was steps away when the shooting occurred. He wasnt there right away. He was still shaking and thats when i called the cops. Reporter after killing woodard, the gunman calmly walked toward an awaiting getaway vehicle, got in, and drove off, quickly blending into the bustling new york city traffic. The area is teeming with tourists and is close to popular sites like times square and central park. In the chaos that followed, none of the witnesses were able to catch a glimpse of the killer. No one seen the person that did it. Whoever did it was like, you know he was a ghost. Reporter woodard was pronounced dead at a local hospital just minutes after the shooting. Police are now examining Surveillance Video and believe the shooting is the work of a professional. For cbs this morning, Terrell Brown, new york. Senior correspondent former nypb deputy commissioner. Good morning. What does the m. O. Tell you . It tells you someone was working on this for a while. You have a individual, Brandon Lincoln woodard, walking down the street. Hes a 31yearold law student from los angeles. Hes a graduate of loyola, now in their law school. Hes texting on one device, hes got another phone. As the killer walks up behind him, he glances back and sees the guy coming up behind him. Theres no recognition there. The guy is wearing a black hooded hoodie. So he goes back to his texting. At that point the killer closes the distance quickly, puts the one shot in his head, and then not running, walking very deliberately, goes another 20 yards, gets into a silver lincoln mkz. And this is the part that tells you these guys were pretty cool about it. They got stopped at the light. They stayed in traffic. They calmly made the right on to 7th avenue and disappeared into midtown traffic. So these were this was probably not their first outing. After 9 11, new york has changed a lot in terms of security, security cameras. How is that going to help in this investigation and about who this gunman is that it looked like he was carrying out a hit on this guy . You know, its helping already. But it could help enormously. So youve got two layers here. One youve got the security cameras on the block. These are just good cameras. Theyre not smart cameras. But theyre there. So you see the actual murder on these video cameras. Wow. But because of the hood and the shadowing, you dont get a good image of the gunmans face. Now theyre working to find other cameras and enhance that. But the network that youre talking about is when they make that right turn, if somebody even got a partial plate, they can they can alert that network of nypd security cameras. In a network of cameras that have license plate recognition. They can say, well, we can see where that car was before the murder. We can see where the car went after the murder. Thats part of what theyre trying to put together now. Is it likely theyll be able to identify the license plate . Well, if they have a partial, they certainly have the make, year, and model of the car. They already have a head start on trying to figure that out. So its a possibility. But i think what you have here, charlie, is this is a very interesting individual in terms of the victim. Youve got a kid from los angeles whos in law school, but youve also got a 31yearold man who has arrests for robbery, drugs, for assault, who had a runin with ushers bodyguards during a concert in las vegas that resulted in an arrest including him being charged. Leads to motive once they have motive, that will quickly probably lead detectives to the who but knowiknow knowing and proving is two different things. Its a brazen crime. Like csis john miller on cbs this morning. Yes. A guy you want to have dinner with, isnt me . Yes. Thank you, good to see you again. Youre buying, right . Make sure we clear that up.

The 1979 upset of indiana powerhouse amidst the first clash of the sports two titans. A team of davids that pass, pass, and struck down their goliath.

The king of the dance. Jimnant h noonts has seen a that in person. Welcome. I was going to start by saying whats so great about the final four, but we saw whats great about the final four. You got me fired up. Were in the stretch drive of the nfl season. Suddenly im charged about basketball in this special year. The season is underway. Indianas tops and duke is number two, as we look at the they could be when we get to indiana at the end run of this. Myrtle beach m march madness culminates a huge fan georgetown. And you know hes a duke man. I know. Perhaps wheel have your teams down in atlanta. Is it too early to be talking about march madness . You know, i think this year i just ive taken the temperature on it. Tis think theres a little more excitement than theres been in a long, long time. And this year i think its going to get ratcheted up because of what you talked about, the 75year celebration and all the different teams, alltime players, coaches, and fans getting jirntd active. Im glad were out here talking about it. You know, really captures i know its down the road in march, but its a tournament that brings the country together. I love it. Having said that, lets talk about the nfl. Yeah. Youre going to be the lead announcer for the super bowl. Were going to be there. The cbs super bowl xlvii on february 3. You guys are going to be domiciled there in jackson square. Hopefully youll give me a guest shot as we lead up to game time. Whats the Biggest Surprise this season . There are a lot of surprises. First off, a lot of people didnt know going into the year would Peyton Manning be all the way back. He has been putting together like another mvptype campaign. Hes won it four times. More than any player in the history. And the broncos are going to be very much part of the story when we get to the post season. Last night was a huge game for our network side of it because were the afc network. And with houston and new england playing and the patriots beating the texans, theyre going to be played both but very likely be the one and two seeds. They could meet again. But that performance last night by the pay rots may have taken a big chunk of confidence out of the texans when, if they have to meet again. Also part of the nfl story. You saw cover story on Roger Goodell and he faces that commissioner. And also incredible incident. Its been a rough two week stretch, first with the Jovan Belcher murder suicide. And then that, of course, backed up this weekend with the drunk driving deaths down in glass with a cowboy player driving intoxicated and a teammate in the car jerry brown jr. Dying in that accident. So its been its been really the last two saturdays have been really hard to get your mind around the whole thing. A tough challenge for Roger Goodell . Theres one guy i believe could handle it. Roger has always been committed to trying to really toughen up the whole sports landscape. And i think he makes decisions that transcend the nfl. Youre right hes on the cover of time magazine. A lot of people are looking at his leadership. Hes taking steps all the time, whether its gun control, or players saying theyre taking steps all the time. Ive always thought that charlie rose has the best job. Youre supposed to think that. But you know, youve got a pretty great job. I mean you get to do the masters. You get to do the super bowl. You get march madness. You think about a transition from news to sports. In case you didnt know. I know the masters, yes. We have all of those events plus the super bowl, march madness, and of course the masters, in a 63day stretch coming up here shortly. This is about the ncaa and the final four and march madness and all of that. But looking at all sports your eyes have seen, whats the greatest moment . You know maybe, and i know youre going to be visiting with jack soon, but i happened to be there when Jack Nicklaus won his sixth and final green jacket back in 1986. I was a young pup, absolutely shaking in my boots calling the tournament at the age of 26. It was just magic. But theres so many. Whether its the super bowls. This will be my fifth one. Or the final four. Just want to remind everybody. Were going to get this whole 75 year celebration under way on the 29th of december. Never too early to start thinking about march madness around the bay area, we have a couple of patches of fog showing up inland. Some of that thick stuff. Otherwise, some sun coming up and looks like its going to be a decent day with changes in the latter part of the day. Chilly and 30s in the valleys, 40s and 50s elsewhere this afternoon, 50s and 60s for highs. The clouds will be gathering, chance of rain develop overnight and into tomorrow morning.

Theyre expected in the State Capitol to rally against the legislation which would cut off a significant source of union money. Elai Elaine Quijano is reporting. At issue is michigans right to work legislation which would make it illegal to force workers to join unions or make financial contributions to unions. Republican lawmakers say the measure is about attracting businesses and creating jobs, but opponents see this as an attack on organized labor. 23 other states already have right to work laws, mostly in the south and west. Michigan is one of the most heavily unionized states. The Republican Controlled Legislature is expected to take action on the bill. For cbs this morning, Elaine Quijano, lancing, michigan. They will reveal new details about the plane crash that killed jenny rivera. There are already serious questions about the plane and the man at the controls. Reporter remains of the deceased reportedly were removed for analysis monday. Investigators scoured the crash site for pieces of the plane, but they will be looking at more than the wreckage according to former ntsb investigator. What did the pilots do over the last 72 hours . Were going to be looking at their schedule. Were they fatigued. The reported ages of the pilot, 78, and his temporary license have come under scrutiny. Faa records show the registered owner of the leerjet 25 built in 19 69d is Starwood Management llc of las vegas. The planes history is one accident in 2005 when ntsb says the plane suffered substantial damage. Certainly id be looking at the condition of the aircraft. Wed be looking at all the maintenance reports. Just before the plane took off jenni rivera and her entourage took this picture. They were headed for taluca, mexico. Less than ten minutes into the flight the plane was reported missing. 43yearold jenni rivera was known as la gran senora, the grand dame. They have turned the plaza into a shrine. Her family said they hold out a faint, almost desperate hope that she might still be alive. In our eyes we still have faith that my sister will be okay. We have no confirmation of her body being recovered. In a kidnapping they say at least they might get her back. For cbs this morning, bill whittaker, los angeles. Funeral arrangements for jenni rivera are still under determined. Theyre headed to mexico. Now for the complicated life of a cia official who tracked down Osama Bin Laden. Theres a reported backlash.

Every year they have the cnet 100. Thats the people, products and stories that changed your life. Cnet editor at large is here to reveal the top choices. Welcome. Thank you. What is the top choice . Number one in terms of product, lets start there. Physical, tangible things you can hold is this Samsung Galaxy snchtsz smartphone. Its the hero phone for android. Before that everyone said there was the iphone, a bunch of android phones. Now you can name. You can say, do you have an iphone or galaxy. H. How does it compare with the iphone 5. Bigger screen, better camera, all the things before the iphone 5 got there. I didnt think it was possible. Equal it. Theyve at least done that. Im an iphone 5 user, this is troy. Thank you, charlotte. Got a name. Im trying to make the transition from the iphone to the blackberry. A lot of folks are ambidextrous. Im wondering. The keyboard on the blackberry, theres nothing you can equate that to on a touchscreen phone. Im the same way. Is blackberry in your list in the top ten . Not even close. Microsoft is . Microsoft is. Microsoft windows 8 is a huge thing. Microsoft windows has missed the boat on a tablet. They have a phone, nobody cares. The market reality right now. This windows 8 is their last best hope to become players on tablets, smart phones, stay of course on computers and bring the xbox in together with all those other products. That is their game. They have to execute on it next year. People arent carrying about the surfers. Its not caring. People dont care. Its the first tablet that can replace your laptop. Were big fans of it, but the Sales Numbers are very tiny. Whos the most influential leader or person . Probably going to go down to our person of the year in the 100, tim cook at apple, because of two things. Apple remains so incredibly influential. This legal case which is our top story of the year, samsung versus apple. Theyre trying to get a couple dozen samsung products banned. This was a watershed moment. It was also very clearly indicating that the world is not about apple versus samsung. Its like apple versus google. They went after samsung to spook the herd that uses the samsung platform. What about telephones and smart phones . Amazon thinks about getting into the phone business. Google is into the phone business with motorola. Phones and tablets are it. We think of them as the fringe device. By later next year tablets will outsell pcs, i mean macs and windows. Its phones and tablets and Everything Else is a rounding error. I still have that little purple flip phone. Does that make me a dinosaur. You can sell that on ebay as a collectible. What do you make of the ipad mini . The smaller one. Its the best of the little tablets. Such a luxury, high engineer. I carry this cheaper, google, smaller reason. It fits into my jacket pocket. Let me see it. A little too large. I have the same problem. You cant put the mini in this. But you can put it right here. That solves the problem. Thats your middle ground. Exactly. You guys could get a man purse. Charlie, you could get a man purse. Yeah. Then you can carry a big enough one you can carry anything. Brian, did you bring us some Christmas Present . Thats the problem with this job. People say, what do you got . The whole list is at cnet. Com cnet100. This is my favorite story of the year. We look back and say where are we going as a society by looking at this technology. Its been a year about mobile. And its here to stay. Is there something tim cook has to do to really make his mark in your opinion . Apple needs their next big wow product. Wheres the next ipad, iphone, even mac book air. Theyre very derivative. You dont mean their stock price . Its interesting. The tim cook ear rrera, a year change, up 100 books. Glass half full, glass half empty. No one is going to say he was the product guy that steve cook was. This is not a product but i question about ce 00s. Whats happening to social media and to facebook after the ipo and then all the questions about facebook . The facebook ipo is on our list of one of the big washouts of history let alone the year. That ipo was one that got a lot of people soured on this idea of all the social media worth it. The zynga story has been a watchout. This is a trend thats not going away. Always good to see you even when you dont have gifts. Thanks. Grammy winning singer is joining us next. Well tell you why he thinks one book is so important hes giving it away.

One person is in the hospital after a car went over 400 feet over a cliff in daly city this morning. Another passenger has only minor injuries. This happened along highway 35 near olympic way. This afternoon the Contra Costa County board of supervisors will take up a proposal to close as many as four fire stations. This follows the failure of a parcel tax called measure q, which did not get the necessary twothirds support of voters. Now, theres a 3 million shortfall. The stations that could close are in walnut creek, clayton, martinez and lafayette. Later this morning, search crews in vallejo will use special sonar equipment to try and find a missing man. Police believe 77yearold Phillip Mattingly of fair oaks fell into the mare island strait. He was last seen on saturday afternoon working on a tugboat on the east shore of mare island. Since then, divers and Coast Guard Boats have searched the waters but have found nothing. Stay with us, traffic and weather coming right up. ,,, look at you guys with your fancyschmancy uverse high Speed Internet. You know, in my day you couldnt just start streaming six ways to sunday. Youd get knocked off. And sometimes, it took a minute to download a song. Thats sixty seconds, for crying out loud. We know how long a minute is sitting, waiting for an album to download. I still have back problems. Youre only 14 and a half. He doesnt have back problems. You kids have got it too good if you ask me. [ male announcer ] now uverse high Speed Internet has more speed options, reliability and ways to connect. Rethink possible. Good morning. Conditions are still busy on westbound 92. If you are trying to cross the san mateo bridge, youll notice it is jammed solid past hayward all the way towards the high rise and out towards foster city. Now, if we go to our maps, it looks like people may be avoiding the san mateo bridge southbound 880 and we have a long line of brake lights as well heading towards the dumbarton bridge. And highway 84. This accident northbound 101 approaching san bruno avenue, that is now cleared out of languages off to the righthand shoulder. But it is still stop and go from 92 and the Golden Gate Bridge you can see that fog rolling in and chp has issued dense fog advisories for the benicia bridge and the carquinez bridge. Thats a check of traffic. For more on your foggy conditions, heres lawrence. We have patchy fog around the bay area, managed to find some sunshine on you, our mount vaca cam looking good. Down below there is fog in the central valleys and north bay valleys, too, and out over the bay. 30s and 40s in most spots. By the afternoon, were talking 50s and 60s, clouds likely to be on the increase, especially in the north bay. Rain developing tonight and then sliding across the rest of the bay area into tomorrow morning. ,,,, here to present the top ten leader, Heisman Trophy winner, freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel, ladies and gentlemen. [ applause ] okay, ladies and gentlemen, top ten perks. These are extra benefit of winning the Heisman Trophy. Ill probably be the only heisman winner at my high school reunion. I think theres a pretty good chance of that. Number two get to appear on letterman in the same city as my favorite show, late night with jimmy fallon. Wait a minute [ applause ] and the numberone perk of winning the Heisman Trophy, ladies and gentlemen my passport photo looks like this. [ laughter ] he has a sense of humor already. Yes. We like this guy. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Johnny manziel is the first freshman to be named College Footballs best player. The texas a m quarterback says winning the heisman was a lifelong dream. He talked about his recordbreaking season. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Manziel was battling a cold when we spoke with him. He still has one more college exam left and has a bowl game to get ready for. He was open and honest in our conversation. At 20, his life just changed forever. Johnny manziel. [ cheers ] reporter when you just made history on this stage, it takes a little time to sink in. Wow. Reporter have you come down from the high yet . Are you riding the wave . Somewhere in the middle. Chaos. Absolutely chaos. Reporter Johnny Manziel told us things really seemed to change for him after he led his team to a stunning upset of defending National Champ alabama in november. Which bolted him atop the heisman watch list. How about that . I tried to tune out the sports center, tune out all the media and all the stuff that was going on that was labeling me as a heisman favorite or whatever it was. So from there i tried to make sure to keep doing the same thing youve been doing all year. Reporter unfortunately that meant missing highlights of a true sport passion. No, not football. In this case, basketball. When did you become such a big basketball fan . Probably when i got to college. In high school my dad didnt let me play because baseball baseball was the thing that i did. And football and then baseball and basketball was in between. It was hard to fit them in. So whenever i got to college and the rec center was there, go four times a week, three, four times a week. Everybodys talking about you and football and youre secretly trying to watch as much basketball as you can. Love basketball. I could watch games all night. Reporter manziel knows that his playing future is on the field. Hes only one year in. Things this year have been beyond what i ever thought they would be as far as teamwise and individual. So coming back next year, just going to be fun to go out and play and know that i have three more years left. Its such a blessing and great opportunity to have three more years to play a game that you love. Do you want to play all three of those years . If thats tell all be a decision that will be made down the road sometime. If the nfl does call, you have to look at that. Reporter one of the knocks on him when he does hit the pros is bound to be his size. 61 is not considered ideal. Manziel seems unphased. Not all about five anymore, you dont have to be 65 and be a great pocket passer. You can be like rg3 and Russell Wilson and have success. That said, the running quarterbacks, you expose yourself to more injuries potentially. Rg3 was just hurt. Do you think about that . I do. Theres a time where you need to know to get what you can get and try to be as smart as possible. You cant protect yourself every single time. But if you look at michael vick, he takes a lot of shots and probably times where he should just know when you cut your losses, you get what you can get and you get down. Reporter when youre out there, how much of this is adlibbed, and how much of this is planned . I think i go into every play with a plan. From there if the defense wins, they get a good coverage from there. It almost just takes over, almost just natural for me to play the way that i do. Freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel. Ladies and gentlemen. Reporter the attention manziel is receiving right now which hes reminded of every time he looks at this trophy. What about this has surprised you the most . I guess all the stuff that comes with it and all the people that kind of come with it. Theres family that kind of kind of talk to you every now and then at christmas. Now theyre calling every week. Friends from the woodwork. Everybody coming back. Reporter when those people come out, you know the people that are true friends are the ones that were there from start to finish. Start to finish. Wow interesting. He has great presence. He does. How good is he . Hes great. I mean, statistically he had the best College Football season ever. More yards than cam newton did in his final season. Listen, hes 20 years old. Hes a registered freshman. This is all so new for him. Keep in mind, he was not a favorite for the heisman when the season began. This all just kind of blew up after the alabama game which was a month ago now. Yeah. Thats why he became the favorite. Thats why im fascinated. Here he is at 20, hes reached his lifelong dream. Clearly hes impressive on the field. Whats he like off the field, this guy . Hes a good kid. I mean, he hasnt been talked to by everyone and told what to say. So hes open and honest. And will talk to you. He enjoys the conversation. He wanted to talk more about basketball. I think everybodys asking about football so much he wanted to chat about the nab a little bit. Any ref that he finds, i think any rest that he finds, i think from the madness, is something he likes a lot. Speaking of respite, he has a girlfriend, doesnt he . He does. Im told he is definitely the center of attention right now in more ways than one. And listen, he is going to have a very interesting time trying to handle all of this. As he moves forward here. By the way, hes still got this bowl game, cotton bowl. He seems to have the presence to handle this. He does. And a sense of humor, too. Talked about picking up the heisman. He said, they asked me to raise it above my head. I didnt know is it heavy . 25 pounds. Any talk about turning pro . He has to stay in college for at least one more year. Hes registered this is technically his second year in college even though one year of playing. He has at least one more year. I think it becomes an evaluation process after that. Theres quarterbacks who stayed in, you know, maybe too long, and quarterbacks who stayed in for the full four years and did great. Andrew luck. Yeah. I think that a lot of these kids who come in college are really getting really good in the pros right away. This year they dont have the aaron rogers thing where he had to wait. This year has been an extraordinary year for nfl quarterback rookies that is. Rg3, Russell Wilson. It doesnt always cam newton last year. Right. That doesnt always happen. Theyve struggled at times. I think, listen, theyll have a difficult decision to make. Good for him, i say. Anything he needs to handle, his girlfriend will help him through it. Shes already telling him to go back to back congratulations to Johnny Manziel. Really like him. Thank you. A grammywinning music star good interview. Shes on a mission to transform education. Now john legend is on the left, Deborah Kenny on the right, in case you were confused. Theyre working together. Theyre with us next on,,,,, i see john legends fingerprints all over that. The song we rise written by ninetime grammy winner, that would be john legend. He also inspired the title of Deborah Kennykennys memoir bo rise. The story of one of the most influential educators. Now john is donating tens of thousands of copies of the book to americas teachers for the holidays. Nice, welcome to you two. Good morning. John, i know you know a good book when you see one. I also know youre a cheerleader for Deborah Kenny and what she does at the harlem academy. Education a really personal thing for you. How come . I know it meant a lot it me and still means a lot it me that i was able to get a good education. And i know that too many kids in this country arent able to get one. For this country to believe in the american dream, to believe in opportunities for everybody, weve got to make sure that an opportunity start when theyre children and they have the ability to go to a good school. And for too long i think we accepted the excuse that we just couldnt educate kids that live in poor communities. That they have these kinds of disadvantages. Theres no way we can teach them. But teachers and principals and School Leaders like Deborah Kenny around the country are proving thats not true. And that we can do a lot better. My mission is to amplify their efforts, talk about them, and help fund them and do what i can to make sure it continues. You talked about teachers and rock star teachers are made. You can become rock star teacher. Thats right. Not born that way. Thats right. You know, we i think around the country, we talk a lot about evaluating teachers. But what we really have to focus on is supporting and developing teachers. It takes a lot of practice. And it takes a lot of time and mentoring and coplanning lessons, analyzing your lessons. Deconstructing wat happens, figuring out how to do it better next time. Teachers need a lot of support in order to master the craft. I think that theres really a responsibility we have to take as School Principals and leaders to create a School Environment that gives a lot of time, a lot of support and the colleagues collaborating together. When teachers work in teams and given that support, they can truly become rock star teachers. Its not something that just walk in on day one. Not a gift from the gods. We looked at the papers this morning, and theres another story about how u. S. Students lag behind in math and science compared to other students around the globe. Do you think theres National Recognition about the importance of education in this country by business leaders, by other people, that theyre changing things . Is there still not a great enough awareness about the problem . I think the awareness is there. I think that that the problem is that were not taking Strong Enough actions. You know, we need to take actions that are more forceful and radical. And not sort of compromise positions. Like what . Well, for example, School Principals need to be empowered to hire and fire and build their teams. Until you can do that, you cant nurture your team and really develop your team. And so we need to really get to the heart of the matter. I like when you say youment to create a magical environment. Go ahead. I think its interesting, the idea that Everybody Knows somethings wrong with education in america. Yeah. Every governor, every mayor, every president ial candidate will say theyre going to be reforming education and theyre going to be strong in education. And weve been saying that for decades. But we have to do some hard things. We have to kind of shake up the status quo for that to happen. And a lot of people are afraid to do that. Changing to music for a moment. When do you go back on tour . In the summer. I have an album coming in the spring. Im almost done mixing it. I mean, done recording it. And were mixing it now. Ive heard you say that its going to be the best thing youve ever done. You had to schocancel the tour because you were working so hard. Every artist says the next album is going to be the best. But we really feel it. Hes a perfectionist. Very high standards. And im working with kanye, and hes a perfectionist, as well. So try to kind of come together and make it and youre planning a wedding, too, to yeah. On fire on twitter. She is hilarious. She is. Smart. She can sometimes be a little raunchy. And sometimes she talks about you, john legend. Yes, she does. How do you feel about that . Its fun. Shes really good on twitter. Theres a baby picture of you. She put that up and said, i, mean. Everywhere you go, what . Everywhere i go, people tell me how much they love my songs and how much they love my fiancee on twitter. So thats nice. Nice thing. Were looking forward to the new album and glad so many teachers can get a copy of the book. And you have the announcement absolutely. Were giving this book away to teachers this holiday season. They can go to borntorisebook. Com. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Nchlt afghanistan looking li lunar landscape. How this golf club and Bowling Alley are changing the way people live and learn. ,,,,,,, it could be a hassle figuring out what to get people for the holidays. To make it easier, we curated the best of the best products. Hi, im joe gray with the gojoe hands free. The only device on earth thats truly hands free. It goes on in one second. Hello . Now, theres neck right, the inflatable pillow thats designed to reduce neck strain and tension. I own your shakeout. You use it with ketchup, jelly introducing recipease. It keeps your recipes with you. [ applause ] great. Want to say thanks to jimmy. Yeah. Like the shaker for the ketchup. Thats awesome. People in afghanistans capital dont have a lot of choices for recreation. Now some Popular American pastimes are available in kabul, too. Clarissa ward shows where they go for some allamerican fun. Reporter it has all the hallmarks of Bowling Alleys across the world. Fluorescent lighting, heartclogging snack food, and lots of people having fun. But at the strikers Bowling Alley in kabul, the security is tight, and the rules are a little different. We dont allow any sort of weapon inside the Bowling Alley. Reporter this 28yearold was inspired to open strikers when she returned to her native afghanistan from canada for a visit in 2010. One month i didnt find any form of entertainment especially for families. Reporter she sold some of her familys land, spent 1 Million Building afghanistans firstever Bowling Alley. At 35 an hour, its not a pastime that every afghan can afford. But strikers have become very popular with afghanistans young middle class. And bowling is not the only sport that afghanistan has embraced. In 2004, Muhammad Abdel abdul reopened the Kabul Golf Club which had been closed for some 25 years. I dont like walking golf is good. Reporter the fairways are not exactly manicured. This course is played entirely in the rough. That doesnt stop american golfers like fred haywood and Jim Armstrong from coming to play. Its just a nice day out of the city. Its fresh air and good walk. And you know, just fun to play with these guys. Reporter to play, you need a caddy and someone to chase your balls. There are no water hazards or sand traps, but there are dogs, cars, and on this day, an angry mob in the streets. Do you think that you learned anything from playing on this course that will improve your game back home . Absolutely. You play in this kind of rough terrain, there will never be a terrain as rough as this wherever we go in the u. S. Reporter for afghans, use of the golf course is free. Foreign businessmen pay 20 a round. Abdul was willing to give this reporter a firsttime golfer, a lesson on the house. This is bad. Follow through. Nope. Oh okay. I think the humiliation is over now. Both abdul and rahmani have concerns about what will happen to their sporting increase when nato troops pull out of afghanistan in 2014. But rahmani says shes proud to have made afghanistan the worlds 91st country with a Bowling Alley. Now that i see customers inside the alleys, a smile coming to their faces, thats its a real hope for them that countrs changing for better. Reporter for cbs this morning, im clarissa ward, kabul.
