Patrol car overnight. Just missing two officers as people are warned to sta inside. And madonna expressing herself online. The Material Girl firing off an angry rant after her new songs leaked preaching about women sticking together but is her new track really taking aim at her rival lady gaga . Im a m good morning, america. We have a lot to get to this morning. Beginning with that search for the missing plane. Its hard to believe this is the third Major Airline disaster this year. Yeah a disturbing sense of danger virginia view. Heres what we know day two of the search operation is now over with. No major breakthroughs unfortunately. Dozens of ships and planes from at least four countries are helping to look for any sign of the missing jet and the search area expanding overnight now broken up into seven different zones. Take a look at the map. The planes route going down in the java sea less than an hour after takeoff. Abcs david kerley starts us off in washington with the latest. Good morning. Reporter good morning, amy. That search area will be expanded further tomorrow. Another four zones added but darkness has fallen. The Aerial Search completed until their morning. With the grim prediction today this jetliner and all on board are lost. This morning, a first full day of searching for airasia flight 8501 with an indonesiaen official saying they quote, currently suspect the plane is located on the ocean floor. Today the search area grew. Yesterday what was described as four sections today seven with more asset as riving. Indonesians joined by other countries and more on the way. It was just after 5 30 sunday morning that the nearly full airbus a320 jetliner took off from surabaya airport heading northwest to singapore but over the sea it encounters bad weather and the pilot saying he wants to turn to go around the weather and climb significantly from 32,000 feet to 38,000 feet. That is his last contact. Five minutes later, the jetliner disappears off indon radar screens. On board 162 mostly indonesians. This low cost carrier has been around for more than a decade. The pilot was experienced. This incident just nine months after the malaysian flight 370 disappeared over the indian ocean but there is a notable difference. If flight 8501 did go down it likely would have fallen into the java sea, a smaller area than the indian ocean and much shallower body of water. The prospects of finding the black box black boxes is very good. Its close to land there are a lot of ships that can be brought to bear on it and only 30day life in the battery i think they can find it within that time. Reporter you need to get close to the debris an earlier today an oil slick was spotted and debris. Theyll both be picked up and tested. There was word of pings but the indonesians have dispelled those and say theyre not connected. Singapore is the best equipped country and offered listening devices now accepted so those will be put in the water and listen for the pingers of the black boxes. A lot more work to be done. Thank you. This is of course an agonizing time for the families of those on board. Crisis centers have been set up at both of the airports where people are now waiting and crying and praying and abcs terry moran has spent time with some of these families in singapore. Terry, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, dan. Or good evening from here. Singapores airport terminal 2 just over there behind those officers. That is where the grim vigil continues. Desperate, anxious family members awaiting word of their loved ones aboard flight 8501 still there, still hoping against hope. All day relatives rushed to the airport here in indonesia where the plane took off from and this may be the hardest time for them the waiting. We do trust the airline yes, but its life. We dont know whats going to happen. Reporter more than 36 hours have passed since the last contact from the airasia flight since so many souls simply vanished over those storm tossed seas. A young woman expecting her fiance and five members of his family joining her for a vacation. He was supposed to be their la vacation before us got married. It was supposed to be his last vacation with his family. Reporter airasia officials, they were struggling with the horror of it too. The founder of the airline which has a good Safety Record tweeted this is my Worst Nightmare and he later pledged his support. A deep sense of depression here but well stay strong and we our First Priority is to look after the families and do whatever we can. Reporter those families they can only wait and pray. There were the lucky ones. 23 people were scheduled to be on this flight but missed it including a family of ten who arrived at the airport in indonesia too late and were saved. One of those family members said maybe it was just gods plan. Amy. All right terry, thanks so much. Lets bring in abc news aviation consultant colonel Steve Ganyard in washington. Steve, this is the second missing plane near malaysia. Many are duping it the pacific bermuda triangle. What do you think could have happened . Its it you have to say, amy. One of the things the biggest mystery is that the radar data itself showed that at 32,000 feet the aircraft just disappeared. So you would think that if the crew had lost control maybe as theyd come down it would have been some additional radar hits there to say, hey the aircraft is descending but it just disappeared at 32,000 feet. Very few things that could do that and it could be weather related but highly unlikely or a bomb but it doesnt make sense that it would disappear at 32,000 feet. Many are pointing to the Stormy Weather in the area. In fact the pilots last communication with the tower was asking to go above 32,000 feet. He was denied that request because of another aircraft. You dont believe weather was a factor. Why . I think weather will be a factor amy. I think at the end it may have been a contributing factor. Maybe it led to a loss of control, maybe it led to some other catastrophic event but i think everything is open. We have to keep every possibility open. We have to think about everything that could have happened to this jet and cant just focus on weather and that means finding the wreckage finding that black box, reading the tapes and figuring out what really happened. And it sounds as though the Recovery Efforts might be a little easier than what we saw wi370 because of the java sea, correct . Yes, just because its surrounded by land, its not the vast open ocean we know to the west of australia where theyre looking for the other missing airplane. Its also fairly shallow so if its shallower it will be easier to get listening devices and those things down into the water. Once we get a general area but certainly as david reported not encouraging that the box theyre looking in is expanding rather than contracting. You would hope theyd be narrowing that but thats not the case and we have another day and another day towards the end of the life of that battery so again, just like 370, the clock is ticking and weve got 28 days left to find that airplane. All right, colonel ganyard, thanks so much for that insight but certainly just such a scary reminder of what can happen and two in a years time is frightening. They are running out of time to find answers. We move on to another disaster unfolding right now, a packed ferry with nearly 500 people on board caught fire in rough wears between greece and italy. Exhausted teams have been working through the night to airlift all of those people off the doomed ship and abcs Hamish Macdonald is here now with the very latest. Hamish, good morning to you. Very good morning to you, dab. Were just learning this morning that the death toll has risen to five. And that italian prosecutors are already launching a formal criminal investigation into this fire even with hundreds of passengers still stranded at sea. This morning, a race against time to save hundreds stranded aboard a burning ferry in rough seas for more than 0 hours. These are the latest pictures showing rescue teams battling high winds lifting frightened and freezing passengers off the deck of the norman atlantic. So far more than half of almost 500 people on board have been evacuated including this pregnant woman and her two small children. This video filmed by a passenger on board and obtained by an Italian News Agency shows flames engulfing the interior as he waits outside for help. It it broke out on the car deck before dawn on sunday. Partway through its jump fry from patras to ancona in italy and passengers are huddled on the upper deck amid rain hail and suffocating smoke waiting to be rescued. Some are reportedly suffering hypothermia and one man died after jumping overboard. Were outside says one passenger. Were very cold. The ship is full of smoke. This survivor adding that the floors started collapsing from the heat. Passengers say that as they tried to get to the lifeboats below deck their shoes melted because of that heat. But the first large group of survivors rescued by this cargo ship is now back on dry land. Well the authorities are now saying that the fire is under control on that ferry and they hope to have everybody off it by nightfall but, dan and amy, with the bad weather, the heavy wind winds, the rain and also this un unpredictable condition on the water, this really is a race against the clock. Hamish thank you. So Many American tourists take ships like that all the time and really scary story. And weather seemingly contributing to so much of this and now we have more weather news back at home. A blast of cold air thats going to hit most of the country as we all get ready to ring in the new year and ginger of course is tracking it all with Winter Wonderland behind you.

Moving on time for the morning stir and this morning, second addictions. Recovering addicts often find themselves hooked on Something Else to satfy cravings and all too often that new craving is for food. This is a story we first saw in the New York Times and now learning about how these addicts are getting help in ways that could work for all of us. Lauras introduction to alcohol came shockingly early growing up with two hard drinking and often abusivee iveive parents. I drank on a daily basis. When she got sober another addiction muscled its way to the tore food and reached a max weight of 214 pounds. If i was in public id eat a healthy salad and in my car i had a stash and eat a whole bag of cookies or a whole box of doughnuts. Reporter this is an all too common story, recovering addicts turning to food. Food and drugs activate the same pleasure and reward centers in the brain. There are some individuals who may turn to food in place of drugs or alcohol especially early in recovery because food is comforting. Reporter especially foods that are high in carb, fat and sugar. One study found oreos were more addictive than cocaine for lab rats and aa encouraging them to have candy on hand on the logic while junk food may be unhealthy its better than drugs or alcohol. What we do now is we have our bowl of kale. Reporter now at places like the New York Center for living, things are starting to change. Here all the food is healthy. If youre talking about somebody whos wea nflting themselves off heroin or crack how big a sin is a sleeve of oreos. Its not a healthy way. Reporter getting to slow down and focus during meals is called mindful eating. What is it about eating the mindful way that makes you eat less. People actually experience their food. This he taste it. They feel satisfied a lot sooner. Reporter as for laura she has changed her diet and her body. Now i eat three healthy meals a day, nothing in between, no sugar, no flour and im looking good. She is looking good. Shes looking great. An amazing story. I have to say this mindful eating thing, ive looked into it. Theres some science to suggest its good for all of us. When you eat in a distracted way in front of the computer it takes a while for your brain to catch up with your body enend up eating more than you need. Having said that i wrote a whole book about meditation and eat sleeves of oreos with reckless abandon so easier said than done. In moderation if you can. No. No. Ill take it from here daniel.

It is being worn by so many celebrities on the red carpet lately. So glamorous and yet amanda is showing us it can be done by anybody. She looks fantastic in the sequin sheath dress the hape is universally flattering on so many figures. One thing i love about the dress and shoe combo, the total look can be found under 100. Impressed you c go sparkle from head to toe and its okay. Its like the allout look. Our occasion to do it on new years eve and so its really the perfect occasion. Yeah i like it because that is one of those dresses you dont have to suck your stomach in. Added bonus. An extra bonus, the price you said under 100 fantastic. Her jewelry. Statement jewelry is big on pippin. She has a rhinestone necklace that works well with her look but you could do statement earrings or a bold glitzy look like the one shown here as well. All a230rdable. What are other ways to add shimmer. An embellished clutch. She has this one here that works well again with what shes got on but you could wear this year round, making it a really great piece to invest. With all this shimmer going on i hair i notice is sleek. Sleek and chic and found this on pinterest. One thing i love about it its easy to recreate at home. So its a simple low ponytail we split in half tak the end and tucked it in there. Secured with a few bobby pins and shes really able to create this look in just a minute or two.

I notice she has lashes on too so if youre going to go for larnes new years eve is the night to do it and red lipstick. Red lips, another great celebrity look. So many glamorous women and a little tip for you, keep it lasting all night through the sipping and talking and smiling, apply one layer, dab with a dry tissue and then apply your second layer and that will keep it put. Can anyone wear red lipstick. I am a firm believer. Any skin coloring skin tone can wear red lips. Maybe ill try it. Any other tips for the evening and trends that we should know about. Definitely. If youre not feeling like opting for a sequin dress, obviously you know this is that head to toe look. Can you try Something Like a romper so this is all one piece and its great because its really comfortable and also very chic and then another fun thing that i love is these temporary metallic tattoos, a standin for jewelry. I will say this they are hard to get off. They last for several days but heres my thing, they will start your 2015 off carrying the glimmer over into the new year. Be careful where you put those. Thank you so much. Great tips. Happy holidays and you can get all of these style ideas and much more on good morning americas pinterest page. Coming up behind the scenes of Downton Abbey.

The new season about to begin and well take you behind the scenes for a sneak peek coming up. Ryan and i see ourselves in lady mary. We do. We chapel her every morning. We do. Anyway, we start here with a holiday culinary conundrum. What do you do with that frozen take you got as a gift . Do you defrost or not defrost . There are secrets to cook it to perfection and abcs becky worley is on the case. Reporter its the first rule of cooking meat from the freezer. You got to defrost it. We have a brandnew way to handle frozen steaks. Reporter they say not only can you cook it without thawing it but it tastes better that way. We prefer that hands down. Reporter what . Cooking straight out of the freezer . No you have to thaw it. Okay i get strip steaks them in half and i freeze them. And then into a ziploc. They say this prevents moisture and ice then i take one steak out the night before to thaw and now the unthinkable. Frozen steak going directly into the pan. Cooks illustrated did their test browning them in oil. Looking good very brown. 90 seconds each side and putting them no a 275degree oven until the internal temperature reached 15 degrees. Frozen steak is 57 degrees at its center. The frozen steak took almost twice as long to cook. Lets compare the two. This is the thawed piece right here and see these big gray bands, now look over here at the one cooked from frozen. You get a much juiceier pinker center. It it tasted a lot bet ever than the one that was thawed but would cooks their take in oil and then in the oven . Does this trick work on the barbecue . Same deal. Thawed steak here. Frozen steak here and thats fire. This one is going to be 156 degrees. Maybe thats one reason to cook from frozen. Youre less likely to burn it to a crisp. Okay so i can conduct a taste test. It took another minutes to reach medium rare and the result a lot of moisture. Good taste. Who knew . Cooking from frozen, even on the barbecue for good morning america, becky worley abc news, oakland, california. Go, becky, go. Well it is one of the biggest art frauds ever. Those 60s paintings of child with the big, big eyes everywhere only they werent painted by the man who claimed to paint them and amy adams sup for a golden globe in big eyes who did, his wife. The woman artist having a second brush with greatness. Why are their eyes so big . The eyes these paintings revolutionized the art world in the 1960s. The paintings says keane. But it was all based on a lie. In the film big eyes amy adams plays Margaret Keane but it was her husband walter who couldnt paint at all taking the credit. I remember who mom painted that. Youre confused. I painted that. Reporter it went on for two years before margaret found out. I didnt realize he was taking credit for the pansdzings for so long. When i did it was quite a shock. Reporter walter convinced margaret a woman would never be able to sell art so she went along with the lie. It just got worse and worse every day and would get deeper into this hole and didnt know how to get out. It was just tearing me apart. I painted every single one of those. Every big eye. Me. And no one will ever know but you. Margaret says she was in shock for two days after seeing her life play out on the big screen. It was just overwhelming e. Emotionally and to see it so real and amy portrayed exactly how i was feeling. Congratulations on the golden globe nomination. Thank you very much. Adams stopped by gma and told us about meeting the famous painter. Shes such a generous beautiful woman, still 87 and still paints every day and just a beautiful soul beautif spirit.

Yeah i know but one thing remember something, you dont want to go out in your backyard and ever pick up a skunk. Why am i holding one. They can carry rabies. This one doesnt. Im not making sense. What im trying to tell you dont want to handle any of these animals. Dont try this at home. We do this for education. Skunks are brought to us. You dont know all the skunks. Wildlife center and educate schools about kids about going out in the yard. You know how they are. I was the same way in tennessee. I never knew it could carry rabies. The minute you bring it into the home the animal has to stay in that situation for a lifetime because it doesnt know to go out in the wild. Theres a skunk festival. Okay, thats got to be one smelly situation probably. Wait. When do they release the squint. As long as that tail is that way tail down. Keep the tail down dahlia. It sprays its really a serious situation because you oh no. You will not do news here for months. Oh my gosh im so happy im holding one right no you. You cant go to work with a skunk spread. Thats a good one. And i have you to thank, jack. Thats great. Thank you, jack. You learn something new every day. Shes been a good girl. Extreme zee team. Who knew. Wasnt dahlia cute . Surprisingly cute. And behaved herself. She did not spray and we know she didnt have rabies but its always nice when jack drops those little bombs on you after the fact. You looked like my face was like why did i hold my hands out for that skunk in looks like shes holding radioactive material. It kind of made me feel like that.
