Weve just heard from the governor of new york, with us in studio 57 is the governor of new Jersey Republican Chris Christie. Welcome, governor. Good morning. You know theres a focus on gun control. You know that Governor Cuomo is out front saying what he wants to do. What does the governor of new jersey want to do in new jersey and what does he want the country to do . Well in new jersey, first off, we have the second toughest gun laws in america already. Is that enough . I think we have to have a conversation about it. But i think if all we talk about just controlling guns which we should talk about, were not doing enough. You look at what happened in connecticut. That young man was obviously mentally ill and he needed to be getting treatment and i think theres such a stigma about Mental Illness and Mental Illness treatment in our country because we dont talk about it and if that young man had cancer his parents wouldnt have been reluctant to take him to the doctor to be treated. Its an illness just like anything else. We need to talk about substance abuse. Woman in camden decapitated her infant child and killed herself high on crack. In new jersey what weve done is mandatory drug treatment, first time drug offenders we sentence to you one year of inpatient drug Treatment Facility that was my program last summer we signed in, and lastly the violence in the video games. I dont allow call of duty in my home. We have to talk about all of it as parents, and i think we need to do things in all four of the categories. You say talk about it. Why didnt you mention it in your address last night . You pick what you want to talk about and after weve been through Hurricane Sandy i thought that should be the focus of what we discussed yesterday as a state, where weve been and where were headed to get everybody back on track so were going to have plenty of time to talk about that stuff as we move forward through the legislative year and ill be a full participant in the conversation but in a halfhour address you pick and choose what you talk about. Lets talk about Hurricane Sandy because you really spanked the republicans in congress and said it was disgraceful that they didnt pass the whole relief bill. Some republicans said you went a little bit overboard criticizing fellow republicans. Was that the right thing to do . Sandy is and was above politics, and should be and if my party is not putting it above politics theyre going to hear from me about it. My job is governor of new jersey and people have seen over time whether its working with the president , criticizing my own party, my job is to be governor and advocate for my constituency. The question is, did awe chief the result you hoped you would have achieve and do you have the House Speaker now saying i hear you, governor and this is what im going to do about sandy, and funds coming to new jersey . I think more broadly even charlie, i think we have the whole house of representatives listening to us now and you need republicans and democrats to pass significant aid bills and what we tried to do is talk to both sides of the aisle but in the end, the decision that i criticized was one that the speaker made, and i made it clear to him and i also told him in a one on one conversation. Were you worried you might do yourself no favors within the Republican Party . I dont worry about that. Listen i believe that what the American People want what the people of new jersey want is people who come into office and do their jobs and if you try to calculate every one of these moves politically youre not doing your job and youre not going to be an effective politician anyway. Doing your job is the best way to get stuff done. New jersey is the model for reconciliation, compromise and bipartisanship. Yes, sir. And youre inviting the congressional leaders in washington to come to new jersey for a seminar . Im happy for them to come any time they want and look at what weve done for three years, charlie, we have a democratic legislature, significant majority, passed every one of the initiatives in a bipartisan way. Its interesting because a lot of what you recommend sounds like what has been part of the democratic message. Youre asking for spending some money, youre asking saying people ill raise taxes if necessary for the people of new jersey. Ive also vetoed three income tax increases, we are spending less in the state budget today than jon corzine spent in 2008. We have passed a number of conservative measures in our state that ive gotten democrats to go along with as well but the idea of divided government is that youre not going to get everything you want. And so yeah i have to compromise on certain things but raises taxes isnt one of them charlie. You would if necessary . What ive said is i will always listen but you know thats the art of compromise is you got to be willing to listen but then you stand for your principles. Can a republican like you win the republican president ial nomination . Can you have the views you have and win the nomination . I think that if you have views where youre being effective and youre getting things done for the people then anybody, not just me but anybody who does that could win and heres what i think. I think whats going to happen in the future is that governors, 30 republican governors out of 50 now theyre going to be the ones who are going to be dictating what the agenda of our party is because were actually getting things done. Youve got a reelection coming up. Yes, sir. Did you scare the mayor of new jersey cory booker out of the race . No. Hes looking to the senate not the governors race 73 popularity coming out of all of the things following sandy. No listen i think cory made the decision that he could best serve the people of this state in new jersey running for the United States senate. That was his call and his choice. Hes a friend. Do you agree with him . Do i agree with him, you know what the other candidates . Corys been a friend and weve worked well together all the time. My daughter follows cory on twitter and said to me you need to tell mr. Booker if he runs against you im unfollowing so im glad sarah doesnt have to unfollow cory on twitter. Im glad she doesnt have to do that. Glmpbovernor christie thank you. Breaking news out of new york city this morning, a ferry accident near wall street injured 30 to 50 people. Emergency crews are treating some of the victims on the dock at south street seaport in lower manhattan. One of our own cbs employees was on board. He said the ferry slammed into the pier without any warning, as it was trying to dock. It threw him and other passengers to the floor. You can see the damage to the front of the ferry. Most of the people hurt were standing on stairs waiting to deboard. One of them had critical head injuries. And this morning the head of the u. S. Antidoping agency is accusing Lance Armstrong of trying to bribe his organization and intimidating witnesses during the investigation that found armstrong used performanceenhancing drugs. In an interview with scott pelley for the new series 60 minutes sports travis tiger talked about the evidence of doping. Six samples taken from Lance Armstrong were retested in 05, and they were positive. In 99 when the tests were originally taken was it reported that they were negative . There was no test for epo, they were not tested for epo at that time. And when you tested for them in 2005 you discovered all six were flaming positive. Flaming positive. Flaming positive. Reporter tygart told us throughout the investigation witnesses were intimidated to try to keep the code of silence from breaking. Was Lance Armstrong personally involved in intimidating these other riders to keep them quiet . He was. It was tough. All these witnesses were scared of the repercussions of them simply telling the truth. What could Lance Armstrong do to them . Incinerate them. Ladies and gentlemen reporter former teammate levi felt the heat. He came to a cycling dinner after he testified to the grand jury. He says armstrong was there and sent his wife a text that read run dont walk. What did she take it to mean. Its a veiled threat knowing her husband had just testified, truthfully, in front of the grand jury and it told citizens of this country about this great fraud, that it was a message, you better run. Your investigation showed that there were personal threats made against riders who had decided to come clean. I wonder if there were any threats against you . There were scott. These threats came from where . Emails, letters. Anonymous . Yes. Can you remember any of the lines from the emails of the letters . The worst was probably put putting a bullet in my head. Did you take that seriously . Absolutely. Turned it over to the investigator which theyre doing. Tygart believes armstrong had undue influence over the International Cycling union. Lance armstrong made a generous donation to the International Cycling union of 100,000. Do you think that was meant to influence them . I dont know. Obviously totally inappropriate. Why inappropriate . Lance armstrong is trying to support antidoping in a sport, thats what he would tell you. Its an inherent conflict of interest. Reporter a conflict that tyagart also faced. He told us for the first time in this interview that armstrong tried to make a donation to the u. S. Antidoping agency in 2004. What kind of donation was he interested in making to usada . A significant financial donation. What . Which came through his representatives offers to us. It was in excess of 150,000. More like a quarter of a Million Dollars . It was around that ball park. When you heard that what did you think . I was stunned. Did you feel like you were being bought off . It was clear conflict of interest for usada and we had no hesitation in rejecting that offer. Now in a statement, his lawyer says armstrong never made any such contribution or suggestion and we may soon hear from armstrong himself responding to these accusations. Oprah winfrey will have an interview next week and you can see Scott Pelleys entire interview with Travis Tygart on tonights premiere of 60 minutes sports at 10 00, 9 00 central, only an showtime. Today to be the final day of the pretile hearing for colorado shooting theater suspect james holmes. Prosecutors played chilling 911 tapes yesterday with desperate cries for help from the scene as Manuel Bojorquez reports, holmes arranged a deadly trap inside his apartment. Reporter holmes had designed a Second Attack for the night of july 20th. He planned for a massive explosion at his apartment hoping to keep First Responders way from the theater while he opened fire. An fbi bomb technician described the elaborate booby traps, a dpas lean soaked carpet, homemade explosives trip wires improvised napalm. He set his computer to blast loud music designed to lure someone into his trap and while this plan failed his other did not. I got a whole bunch of people shot out here and no rescue. Reporter in Court Tuesday Aurora Police detective randy hansen recounted the 911 call just 18 minutes in the moofie theres some guy after us, the caller yells, then the sound of gunfire. Hansen said the call lasted all of 27 seconds and in that time he counted 30 gunshots in the background of the phone call. Chantel blunk was in court listening as other chilling 911 calls were played out. Her husband, jonathan, was killed in the shooting. You can hear people screaming so it makes you imagine it actually being there a little more and something you dont want to imagine. Reporter as he has during almost every hearing, holmes sat silently staring ahead showing no emotion but tuesdays hearing revealed holmes behavior may have been more bizarre away from the courtroom. Defense attorneys have indicated they may call their own witnesses to describe holmes mental state. Already they questioned a Police Detective about his behavior after the shooting. On the night of his arrest police put paperbags on his hands to preserve gun powder evidence. Holmes turned the bags into hand puppets, later tried sticking a staple into an electric socket questioning that suggests holmes attorneys are preparing for an insanity defense.

The bar pilot in charge of the tanker that bumped the bay your realtime captioner linda Marie Macdonald. Hi, everyone. 7 26 your time. Im frank mallicoat. Get you caught up with some bay area headlines now. The bar pilot in charge of the tanker that bumped the bay bridge monday got a warning just moments before the collision. But the alert from a private service that tracks ship traffic was too late. A reward will be offered this morning in hopes of getting an 800,000 artifact returned to the Oakland Museum. The gold box stolen in the museums second breakin in just two months. And its the annual warning from health officials. Get your flu shots. They say flu season could be very bad this year. Hospitals in some states are crowded because of so many flu cases especially out in the midwest. Traffic and weather coming up after the break. Stay right there. Secondhand smoke affects everyones health. Its not just irritating. It can cause Heart Disease and even death. Speak up about secondhand smoke. Your health and the health of your family depend on it. Good morning. Towards the bay bridge, just your usual commute, unfortunately, it is back to work and you can see everyone there approaching the macarthur maze. That is where traffic is stacked up to for about a 20 minute wait to get you on the span. Metering lights are on. Elsewhere, westbound 237 is improved a bit near the 880 interchange for Silicon Valley commuters in san jose. An accident near candlestick was cleared to the shoulder. We are see a few brake lights on 101. 280 still fine. Thats traffic. For your forecast, heres lawrence. The big changes in the weather, the clouds pouring into our skies. We have dense fog showing up out there, as well. So watch out for that. Dense fog advisory continuing in the east bay valleys. This afternoon temperatures in the 50s. This is a whooi, not a rodeo. But this deputy in florida had to move fast when the bull started chasing him. The bull got loose after the trailer crashed. A little later the bull hit a cop who had to be treated for bruises. Welcome back to cbs this morning. And we have a new development in the case of retired fbi agent Robert Levinson. He disappeared in 2007 after visiting an island off iran. Two years ago a video was released showing him being held hostage and now family thinks they know where he is. John is here with the new photos. Good morning. So very disturbing photo of mr. Levinson. What do you make of it . It is very interesting. The levinson family was sent this series of pictures. It was sent to their website around april of 2011. Now, each of the photos contains a separate message. Depending on how you arrange them or string them together the photos may become a narrative that could read Something Like this. Help me. Im here in guantanamo. Do you know where it is . Fourth year. You cant . Or you dont want. This is the result of serving 30 years for usa. Why can you not help me. Now, we reached out to bobs wife christine yesterday for her reaction. My husband is being held captive, and i believe that these pictures show that and i want to remind the public that bob is not home with his family and its almost six years. We have never heard any information from the people who sent these pictures other than the pictures. So we believe that the iranian government is controlling this and they can resolve this. So this is incredibly disturbing too. What do you think these pictures suggest . What you see is a lot of staging here. Hes been put in kind of an institutional prison uniform. Hes got a long beard and hair almost like youd see Khalid Sheikh mohammed in gant tan mow. Theyre haunting but also taunting at the u. S. What it seems to be is a piece of propaganda thats really saying to the u. S. Negotiate. Put something on the table. Take a step forward. Im stuck here with a real human being, Robert Levinson as the prop. What would be the negotiation that might take place over iran and the United States over leather in levinson . Well, this is a fascinating case and it was u2 who interviewed mahmoud ahmadinejad. Something we heard for the first time. He said i thought our countries had talked and a deal had been made and, in fact, there have been talks going on behind the scenes but the typical deal is you give us somebody we give you somebody. So we look at a number of iranian prisoners who are being held here on various charges and say how can that deal come together and what will the administration or state department do to move that forward. And the family got these pictures in april of 2011. So why are we just seeing them now and what does that tell us about the state of the negotiations. I think from the standpoint of the levinson family Third Quarter know this is on the front line to a lot of fbi agents and other officials. But life goes on. Hes been held for a long time now. And i think when they feel that the case is becoming on the back burner of discussions as opposed to the front, they release more information to stir that discussion. Frankly from the investigators standpoint, the intelligence community, they like to keep these things in the background but the family will stir the potts. What is the level urgency from the u. S. Government on this . Its hard to same. Ive talked to people who care very much about this case but you know there are other priorities and the government takes the position that they have the big picture with the iran and it cant all be dependent on that one person, but if youre the family you want the focus here. John thank you. The troubles wont stop for the 787 boeing dreamliner. Weve seen a fire and a fuel leak. Ahead, captain sully kids. Theyll tell you exactly what theyre thinking. Especially my niece. The moment she pointed out my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis. Well, it was really embarrassing. So i had a serious talk with my dermatologist. This time, she prescribed humiraadalimumab. Humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. In clinical trials, most adults with moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis saw 75 skin clearance. And the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma or other types of cancer have happened. Blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions and new or worsening Heart Failure have occurred. Before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. Ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. Tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. You should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. Make the most of every moment. Ask your dermatologist about humira, today. Clearer skin is possible. Pop goes the world pop in a whole new kind of clean with tide pods.

Of secondhand smoke. And some of them cant do anything about it. [ continues ] [ gasping ] i saw a fascinating report about the debt ceiling on cnn. Take a look at this. In the coming Weeks Congress will once again grapple with americas Spiraling National Debt currently around 16 trillion. The exact figure is calculated constantly by the National Debt clock, a clock, costing nearly 4 bill per day to operate the National Debt clock is the cause of most of the National Debt. More news after this. I didnt know that. 4 billion to operate the clock. Thats why letterman said lets just unplug the clock and well solve the whole debt problem. Very, very funny. Now to a story thats not so funny and causing a lot of concerns. Boeings groundbreaking 787 dreamliner was delayed for years because of produced trouble. Now the company is dealing with two new 787 incidents in the past two days. Boeings stock is falling after the latest problems with the dreamliner. As Mark Strassmann reports, one of those jets sprung a leak yesterday before takeoff. Reporter as the boeing 787 dreamliner taxied to the runway approximately 40 gallons of fuel leaked from the aircraft. Japan air 7 heavy, hold your position. We have fire trucks coming for you. The second happened at logan airmen. Affirm. Reporter on monday a fire burned in the belly of a 7787 just minutes after passengers had left the plane. Captain Chesley Sullenberger is a cbs news safety and aviation expert. If you look at the history of aviation decades ago new airplanes had many more issues and they often led to fatal results. Now we catch these problems much earlier. Reporter National Safety board investigators traced the fire to a battery in the auxiliary unit. Its a battery that provides the electricity used to start it. Its used on the ground fro provide heating and cooling when the plane is on the ground. Reporter in a statement they say nothing that weve seen in this case indicates a relationship to any system in the last months. Last month a flight made an Emergency Landing in new orleans after false warnings from an electrical panel. United inspected all of its 787s. All six of those planes flew yesterday, but the wall street journal found improperly i installed wiring. Every new airplane has grow growing planes. Reporter whole both of japans 787s returned to the skies yesterday, boeings reputation may rest on the dreamliner staying out of the headlines. For cbs this morning, Mark Strassmann, houston. Lets bring in cbs travel editor Peter Greenberg. Peter, good morning. Good morning. Are these growing pains orring is more significant . They are growing pains but as captain sullenberger said, the real key is to catch them. And then how quick will they move to fix the problem. This is the most outsourced airplane ever built. In fact in terms of the situation, this is plane that relies more on electrical power than any other plane ever built and the key here is the lithium ion batteries in the cargo compartment. Those lithium batteries can be very dangerous if not stored properly. How many of these dreamliners are flying today . Only about 36. But boeing has more than 800 on order. Its a very popular plane. The key, again, is the culture of the faa. The National Safety transportation board has the investigate this. They cant make policy. Its up to the fa a to see how quickly they want to move. Thats already a known problem with the 787 and theyve issued a directive weeks ago about this very problem itself. Peter, do you think these planes are safe to fly . I do. I dont see any overwhelming evidence right now to suggest theyre safe. This is a plane that was delayed 3 1 2 years. So Many Airlines are angry that they may have even canceled their orders or refused to fly the plane until theyre fixed. Wheres the oversight there. Without that we have a problem that may be long standing. Whats boeings explanation . Boeings explanation is exactly as you heard. Growing pans. Were dealing with it. Thats normal. The fact is how fast will they work. Peter, how do you expect that the faa will respond . Well, thats the problem. The faa can sometimes take a year to two years to actually implement what we call a directive. I think in this case theyre going to move a lot faster because its got so much publicity. Is this experience different from others when they have introduced a Company Maker of airlines has introduced a new plane . The difference here is youre not dealing with one manufacturer. Youre dealing with one whos making plane but dozens and dozens of subcontractors. Theyre finding improperly installed items here or things that should have been fixed before they got off the assembly line. We are looking at some major changes around the bay area today. The clouds beginning to move in. We have some thick fog though,especially in the east bay valleys but storm clouds going to race in by the afternoon. And then we have a chance of some showers. Numbers right now, a chilly 30s in the valleys, 40s elsewhere. By the afternoon, highs only going to be in the 50s. Seeing some rain developing in the north bay first, then spreading to the south so could be a wet commute. A chance of showers continuing, much cooler into tomorrow. The flu is ting us early and hard. Nearly every state is seeing the impact. More people are ending up in intensive care. Well ask dr. Jon lapook about the flu outbreak how bad it could become and if its too late to get the vaccine. Thats next on cbs this morning.

Its five years earlier, but its not more severe than typical. The cdc wants you to be concerned because every year you can have tens of thousands of deaths and theres a very good vaccine out there and they want people to take it. Thats the best way to protect yourself. Its never too late. Its never too late. It only takes two weeks for the flu to kick in. It can extend as late as april, even may. Whats the difference between a cold and a flu . Theres a lot of overlap. In general, cold is from the neck up. You have sneezing runny nose cough. You can see some cough and sore throat with the flu, but with the flu you tend to be really sick. Fever, headache aches and pains. Have you ever had the flu . I cant remember, no. Maybe because you had the flu. When you have the flu, its just terrible. Youre saying its not more severe than any other year. Why are hospitals turning away ambulances because theyre overrun. You see in pennsylvania, we soo pictures of tents outside of hospitals to deal with the overflow. This is unusual see this kind of stuff. Well, its troubling to see it but its not particularly unusual. There is a train that in past years has been particularly nasty. They are concerned and want people to get vaccinated. Its very disturbing. If you get the flu and youre in an intensive care unit you can die the die. The cdc wants everyone to get it. Who is most at risk. Anybody over six months.

A reward is expected to be announced today for the run of a valuable art return of a valuable art fact stolen from the Oakland Museum of california. A thief broke into the Museum Monday and stole a historic gold box worth more than 800,000. The city of san jose is going to experiment with so called curb cafes. Under the one year pilot program, downtown restaurants would be allowed to expand their patio seating into the parking area of the street. The restaurants would have to pay for the platforms and make up for any lost Parking Spaces. Stay with us, traffic and weather in just a moment. Good morning. Getting a check of the san mateo bridge, it looks okay right now in westbound 92, we are just getting word of an accident on the other side of the span westbound 92 approaching foster city boulevard blocking one lane and some delays and brake lights across that stretch. Elsewhere, back outside once again to milpitas, 880 237, you can see through the fog out there, and we have slowdowns on westbound 237 from about 880 towards zanker road. Quick mass transit note. There are about 10 to 15 minute bart delays at the glen park station towards sfo due to some police activity. Thats traffic. Heres lawrence. Still looking at some of that ground fog around the bay area but some big changes coming in our direction today as we have a chance of rain moving in. A lot of clouds thickening up outside today. And we have some dense fog especially in the east bay valleys. An advisory for that is in effect until 9 a. M. 30s and 40s. This afternoon cooler and cloudy and rain in the area. Snow early tomorrow morning down to 1500 feet. Good morning, charlie and gayle. Good morning, everybody. It is 8 00 a. M. Welcome back to cbs this morning. The welcome mat is out in washington for this months inauguration, but hotels and restaurants are worried about the lack of turnout. Well show you why. And the san diegos zoos new panda cub meets the public tomorrow but this morning well meet him before anyone else. But first heres a look at todays eye opener at 8 00. The white house is considering recommendations which would include a been on assault weapons and highcapacity ammunition. Gun control supporters are pushing harder while the gun lobby plans to meet with joe bidens gun force. I think if all we talk about is just controlling guns. What we should talk about, were not doing enough. An accident on long island a ferry accident. Was lapse personally involved in intimidating these other riders to keep them quiet. It was tough. All these witnesses. Yeah. Retired fbi agent Robert Levinson disappeared in 2007 while visiting an island off of iran now his family has revealed photos that may suggest where he is. What it seems to be is a piece of propaganda thats saying the u. S. Negotiate, put something on the table. Two boeing 787s run into trouble on consecutive days. So whats going on now with the dreamliner . Youve got a reelection coming up. Did you scare new jersey mayor cory booker out of the race . No. The white house is gearing up for a fight with republicans over chuck hagel, president obamas pick for secretary of defense. As well as a fight over that other thing, everything. [ laughter ] im charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. The push for gun control tops the agenda in the Nations Capital today. Vice president bidens task force meets with gun control lobbies and victims groups. Mayors from around the country are launching a new ad campaign to increase gun kroell and in new York Governor Andrew Cuomo will use his stateofthestate message to call for tougher new gun laws. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is riding high with a 73 Approval Rating in his own state after calling out his own party in congress for waiting to help Superstorm Sandy victims. Christie is seen as a potential frontrunner for the 2016 president nomination. This morning i asked christie if he thinks the tea party has too much clout in the gop . No, i dont. I think they have influence. I think everybody who comes to the table should have a voice. You dont think thats why the House Republicans have not been able to get to the fiscal cliff deal. You adopt think the House Republicans cant get to the calf deal listen. I think there are so many reason i they couldnt and a lot are personal. What do you mean personal. I think they get into these toxic competitions with each other and internal intrigue things dont look at me puzzled charlie. Theres a Competition Among all these folks in that room. Was that your puzzled expression . No, no, no. But its interesting what he said and the fact that hes calling for some look at new jersey, at therefore if the congress would be like new jersey you wouldnt have the political dysfunction. What do you think about the Time Magazine cover the boss . I love the cover and Bruce Springsteen and the bromance he has with him. The thing about Chris Christie hes uniquely himself no matter who hes talking to. Never disappoints. Speaking of washington, a record crowd descended on the town for president obamas first inauguration in 2009. Well, four years later, Officials Say it wont happen again and thats becoming a problem for d. C. Businesses. The inauguration will be held at the capitol and chip reid at the other end of the National Mall near the lincoln memorial. Good morning. Reporter good morning. You can see the capitol behind me as you mentioned. That is a long ways away. That is where the president will take the oath of office. Four years ago the crowd stretched all the way from there past the Washington Monument all the way the entire length of the mall to where im standing near the lincoln memorial. This year the crowds expected to be a fraction of that size. The Fairmont Hotel in washington, d. C. Is offering an inauguration package. It includes your own president ial dog, a chauffeur driven bmw, two body guards and more. One unique thing it includes is higgs and her rolex president ial watches. Reporter the price, 400,000. Its an example of how d. C. Hotels are trying to gin up excitement. Four years ago they were booked solid. But now they are still available. We dont expect a whole lot of hotels to fill up. Reporter its not just people with money to burn. They are far less excited than the first time president obama took office. Elliott ferguson is ceo of destination d. C. Which promotes tourism in the Nations Capital. Its like anything. The Second Time Around its still important, important to the country and democrats as a whole but its not the first time for the rodeo. Reporter in 2009 1. 8 Million People filled the mall to hear the new president s address, a record crowd that stretched two miles from the capitol all the way to the lincoln memorial. This year planners estimate well half under that number will show up. Inauguration is also the Martin Luther king day holiday and they hope people will attend. If the smaller crowd projections turn out to be correct, organizers say this will still be the fourth largest inauguration in u. S. History but even the most optimistic planners say its will be a far cry from the financial bonanza of four years ago. If i owned a restaurant, id want it to look like the numbers in 2009. Folks are a little antsy. Reporter we called 25 hotels to see how their reservations were. 15 still have rooms available. Four years ago every hotel within miles of washington were solidly booked. Charlie, norah and gayle a little bit of news. Politico is reporting that beyonce will sing the National Anthem at the inauguration. Thats good. Heard that. Shes also performing at the super bowl. Goodyear for beyonce. And will be at the inauguration. Broadcasting live. A double dose of beyonce. In texas the issue isnt heat. Its rain. Theres too much of it raising the potential for flooding. Anna werner is in soggy houston. Good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie. The Severe Weather moving across texas and louisiana this morning could bring up to seven inches of rain in some spots. Of course, the biggest concern here as always is flooding. Here in houston and throughout parts of southeast texas, a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through tonight for low lying neighborhoods could see flooding. Ahead of the storm city officials activated part of the Emergency Operation center where representatives from three agencies, police fire and public works are keeping an eye on this system but the rain is also very good news for parts of texas because of the severe drought being experienced by most of the state. Just yesterday forecasters said they expect that drought to continue until at least march. So good news for farmers here. They could use that rain in australia. Huge brush fires are burning across the eastern part of the country and it could get worse. Adam todd has that story. Reporter were now entering our second day with more than 100 fires burning across the state. There were all bush fires burning across queensland, victoria, and tasmania. To put it in some perspective, those states account for the entire eastern half of the country. Now, as the fires themselves have been caused by the deadly cocktail of hot trenches high strong winds and dry bush land which allow the fires to spread at a rapid pace making them that much harder for firefighters to battle there are here in New South Wales that are deemed out of control and several prop properties have been put under threat. Remarkably with fires burning across such a large area we havent seen widespread Property Damage or loss of life. Were not out of the woods yet with temperatures expecting to rise in the coming days those fires will become that much more difficult to fight. For cbs this morning, adam todd in young New South Wales. That accent sounded a little jarring, didnt it . He didnt mention the look up the word cute in the dictionary and you might see a picture of norahs kids or a giant panda. Well meet the panda at the San Diego Zoo before he makes his public debut tomorrow. Her kids are cute. Coming up on cbs this morning.

When zoos first put males and females together theyd ignore each ore or even worse fight. But a few years everything changes. The female distributes her scent widely, advertising to the mail shes coming into heat. Reporter swaisgood learns everything is timing. She will tell him to hightail it out of there. I never have seen him move as quickly as he does. Reporter getting pandas to mate was one hurdle. Keeping their tiny offspring alive, its another. When the panda is born their mother weighs a thousand times. The cub is so tiny and so fragile. Reporter swaisgood helped develop a nutritional baby formula and helps mothers deliver multiple cubs.

A gold box worth 800,000 was taken in a breakin at the museum. The second theft there in two months. There is a warning before a tanker bumped into the bay bridge on monday but it came too late to prevent the collision. It damaged the ship and fender that protects the bridge tower. The investigation into the crash continues. San jose will experiment with a curbside cafe program. Five restaurants will be allowed to pay to take over some Parking Spaces and use part of the street for seating. The city council was unanimous in voting for the one year pilot program. Stay with us, traffic and weather coming right up. Good morning. Out to Mountain View we go northbound 101 a stalled big rig you can see where its jamming up there approaching shoreline boulevard. Sensors are picking up brake lights as far back as ellis, so 280 is a better option for right now. In the meantime, you can barely see traffic but this is 880 237 under all that fog and low clouds. A few brake lights right now between 880 and zanker road. Look at the bay bridge, things have actually thinned out quite nicely, still only stacked up to the middle to the end of the parking lot. Metering lights remain on. That is traffic. For more on this foggy forecast, heres lawrence. Yeah. Very thick around parts of the bay area right now. Lets take you to san jose and check it out. You can see that fog thickening up a bit there. Actually have a dense fog advisory but into the east bay valleys this morning. The temperatures a little bit cool. 30s and some 50s to begin your day. But the storm clouds going to be moving in in the afternoon meaning theres a chance of showers developing in the north bay first after noon and spreading to the south into the evening hours. Temperatures will be noticeably cooler generally, and about the 50s outside. So these temperatures continuing to fall. We have that cold air in place and by tomorrow morning, we could actually see the snow level drop to about 1500 feet. So a chance of a few leftover showers early on. Then by friday were dry but it will be cool and brisk. Over the weekend, some partly cloudy skies, maybe a little unsettled. I think toward next monday and tuesday, we should be dry and warmer. During the First Quarter of the game the camera found quarterbacks mccarrans girlfriend in the stands and the announcer went nuts. When youre a quarterback for alabama, you see the lovely lady . I tell you. The quarterbacks get all the goodlooking women. Jimmy kimmel there. Looks like chris farley may he rest in peace. Not exactly what they had in mind though. Welcome back, everybody to cbs this morning. As we showed you yesterday, brent muss burgers conference title game has become a bigger story than the actual game. Take a listen. You see that lovely lady there . She does go to auburn i will admit that. But shes also miss alabama and shes a. J. Mccarrans birthday and on the right is d. B. Bonner. You quarterbacks, you get all the good looking women. What a beautiful woman. Wow. Whoa. A. J. s doing some things right. Starting getting the football out and throw it around the backyard. Those comments made a lot of people cringe and on tuesday espn apologized saying we always try to capture interesting story lines and the relationship between an auburn grad who is miss alabama and the quarterback has met the test. However the commentary understands that. On her party Katharine Webb says she was flattered and slightly embarrassed. Shes on the cover of a lot of papers this morning. I agree. I think most women would be flattered that somebody would say yeah, yeah you look great. Maybe he got a little too excited. Shes very attractive. What chances are that well see her in the super bowl . I think she has a Bright Future ahead of her. I know that donald trump was talking about making her a judge, so thats going to be more. Commercials to come no doubt. Time to show you this mornings headlines from around the globe. Usa today says your 2012 tax refund may be delayed. Fwlam it on those fiscal clip talks. The irs programming the computers and printing was delayed. Theyll begin january 30th. Thats eight days later than usual. The Washington Post says groups inside the Obama Administration are going to keep only a few troops. A total pullout could be reckless and could cause Afghan Security forces to crumble. On tuesday the white house Officials Say they have not ruled out leaving no troops at all. The New York Daily News says target will match the prices of amazon best buy, walmart and others all year round. This announcement comes after lackluster Holiday Shopping season. And the wall street journal remembers former mcdonald ceo fred turner the father of chicken mcnuggets. He died monday at 30 excuse me age 80. He got the idea of mcnuggets while talking with a chef in an elevator. This White House Photo may explain that conclusion. In all about 43 of mr. Obamas appointees have been women but if you look behind the man in the blue shirt, Valerie Jarrett is in that pier andcture, shes a woman. George w. Bush more than one third of his employees were female. There is a lot of pressure for the Obama Administration to add women. Theres still time. A new cdc report says millions of american women are binge drinking putting their health and even lives at risk. More than 14 million well binge drink about three time as month, having an average of six alcoholic beverages at one sitting. Were joined at the table by dr. Taylor. Hello, dr. Taylor. Good morning. First of all, what is binge drinking and is that considering an colic . Four drinks in two hours may not indicate youre an alcoholic, but it may indicate youre into drinking. Binge drinking between the ages of 18 to 22 people report they binge drink because theyre bored. From 22 to 30 because theyre trying to escape something maybe from work. So certainly more women in the workplace. They feel pressure. They come on the weekends usually and throw back four drinks in two hours and take the stress off. Certainly we want to close the gender gap but not by these troubling numbers of more women drinking alcohol. I feel ive heard this story for years about women drinking excessively. What makes it different now . What makes it different now is when women binge drink it does more damage to our bodies than men. For example, we have increases of risk of Breast Cancer hypoper tension, cade owe vascular disease, dementia. So were doing tremendous damage even though we consume less alcohol and do more dak. Some studies suggest that women die at higher rates than male alcoholics. So people need to understand whats happening. I thought it was interesting. The report says more white and Hispanic Women with moreincomes of more than 75,000 are binge drinkers. Why is that . They start younger and are more likely to go into binge drinkers. Thats what its thought. If you think about it forecast you have an income where maybe you can sit at home or go out on the weekend youre still stressed and so it still follows that youre trying to escape something. You know you have a problem when . When risky drinking i have a lot of friends why say i my adequate fie this. If you drink more than seven drink as week or more than three a day or binge drinking thats risky drinking. If you find that youre drinking to escape youre finding that you cant stop that you go into withdrawal or tolerance or you avoid your usual activities youre not going to work relationships are suffering, you may have a problem and you may need to talk to your health care provider. Dr. Taylor, good information. Thanks so much. Nice to see you. Charlie . The Connecticut Legislature meets for first time today. Theyll be discussing new gun control legislation. Meanwhile as Michelle Miller reports, newtown is staggering under a load of generosity. Reporter in the heart of newtown theres a warehouse now chock full of love. Gifts from people around the world in every shape, every form, every expression possible. Theres a lot of very heartfelt items in those boxes. Chris kelsey is in charge of the donations that started pouring in immediately after the shooting at sandy hook elementary school. His army of volunteers have been busy sorting through presents from small chirp to big corporations. With the hope of bringing some small measure of peace to the 26 families that lost loved ones. They come through periodically to pick out, you know, what they want. Alex scarpa attended sandy hook elementary as a child. Last week she came back here volunteering to help during christmas break. We want to come together so nobody has to suffer alone. Reporter scarpa and her comrades have inventoryied and packed more than 4,600 boxes of items. Stuffed animals, School Supplies boxes of kleenex, even bicycles. At last count there was some 47,000 teddy bears codonated. So many they had to separate them by small, medium and large. Thats nearly two bears for every man, woman, and child in newtown. What do you do with it . I am contacting families. If they want to see stuff go i want to fulfill their wishes first. Reporter its still coming in. While we were there, six palettes of teddy bears arrived from california. All of this generosity provides an overwhelming if unintended problem here. A lot of us are a little worn out. Stressed out. Burned out. Were grateful for everything were getting. We have enough. If anybody would like to make a contribution, we would prefer monetary. Reporter they dont expect the operation dloes for fwhoot two months. Until then he and all the volunteers will continue sorgt and boxing until every donated item can be put to good use. For cbs this morning, Michelle Miller, newtown, connecticut. Wow. I remember when we were in newtown the thing we kept hearing over and over, they were so touched that people were so moved and wanted to do something. They were so touched that people remembered them and wanted to donate. It shows how mump this country cares about those children and their families. Thats right.

The first time i saw the zumba class and the reason we created it and the zumba company is they saw something they did not know existed. I saw fitness without sacrifice. People smiling, cheering laughing and sweating. At the same time. How did you come up with the name zumba. So the world rumba in spanish means to party and we wanted something that rhymed. We went through the alphabet. We were getting nervous. Zumba sounded like what it was. When i look at you, you look like a businessman. You dont look like you do zumba. I do the video game.

When you heard that story, did you think why couldnt it be jazzercize jazzercize . I think that it doesnt matter. I realize that. People now know the name. I went, i wish the media would have focused on some of our incredible instructors like elaine gill in new york who when Hurricane Sandy hit she grabbed all of her zumbawear and gave it to all the homeless shelters. Theres a class a woman taught for 500 orphans in india. I wish the media focused on those instructors. You just put it out there. You know what i mean. Youre the ceo and you hear that circumstance was there a part of you that said yippy eye owe or why us. . . Im really serious. In the beginning we were shocked and then realized it doesnt affect us. How do you make certain that zumba doesnt become a fad. The thing about fad, look at the thigh master for example. Yes. I had one. It gives you a physical benefit and someones going to come out next year with Something Better for your these. But when it gives you an emotional benefit, yoga gives you an emotional benefit, extend, balance. Zumba gives you freeing electrifying joy. Its happiness and that emotion speaks to people.
