at the vatican, cardinals could mean sooner than expected to begin the process of choosing a new pope. the conclave can start as soon as all 117 cardinals are in rome. when benedict xvi steps down at the end of the month, he is going to his summer residence while work is finished on his new home inside the vatican compound. in detroit, icy roads and snowy squalls have led to the multicar pileups across that area. according to affiliate wxyz, the 30-vehicle accident shut down part of the southbound interstate 75. several people were treated at hospitals for their injuries. an idaho man could face a year in jail for smacking a crying child on a recent delta flight. he was sitting next to a little boy and his mother from an minneapolis to atlanta flight. the boy began to cry and according to documents, huntley used the n-word and reached over and slapped the boy. the company he works for says he has been suspended pending an investigation. today is clean-up day in russia. these guys are replacing windows and sweeping up broken glass just like people all over a huge part of southern russia are doing, just about every glass window in an area covering 80,000 square miles smashed at the same time yesterday. nasa calls this a once in a century event. a meteor, pretty sizeable one, as a matter of fact, screamed out of the sky and slammed to earth. more than 1,000 people were hurt and thousands of buildings damaged. cnn's phil black is in russia. he hit the road today, trying to find the spot where the meteor landed. >> are we're walking on a frozen lake. it's about a 90-minute drive west. we're here because locals say a big fragment from the meteor punched through the ice. and is now sitting at the bottom of the lake. [ speaking in russian ] >> that was a very firm no. these police officers said it is prohibited for us to be here, to shoot video here, to try and walk any further. if if part of that meet orrite came down there, where those vehicles are, as locals say it did, the russian authorities don't want us or anyone else to see it. the meteor's final descent through the atmosphere was seen by people all across this region. at this school, students came outside to look at the trail of smoke it left in the sky. one student captured the moment on his phone. what were you thinking? what do you think your friends were thinking? >> firstly, i think it seems to be a terrorist attack. they guessed that it was a rocket bomb. >> and then there is the big blast, the sonic boom. [ explosion ] >> my ears have deafened, and everyone fell down like this. and the ground shook a little. it was awful. girls were crying, screaming panic, and crying. >> there are a few isolated examples of really substantial damage caused by this meteor and its shock wave. here at this factory, it is said to have knocked over the brick walls. elsewhere across the city, mostly superficial. glass and window frames and a lot of that is already being cleaned up and repaired. within a week or so, there should be few physical scars left from this city's close encounter with the media. but it is likely to be something that people here will be talking about for some time to come. phil black, cnn, russia. >> make sure you stay there. i've got a great guest here, an astronomer will explain just what happened yesterday in russia. and he's got some pieces of space rocks that have made it to earth. it's a fascinating conversation coming up, so make sure you stay tuned. i want to go now to the shocking news that an entire nation still can't believe really the entire world. south africa's national hero locked up in jail, charged with murder. and a surreal angle. a young woman shot dead by pistorius, a reality show she taped did go on television today as scheduled in south africa. the producers of the show say they consulted beforehand. it's one of those celebrity competition shows a well-known model and activist. i want you to listen to these words. it's prophetic, really. >> you literally fall in love with jamaica. you fall in love with being in love with love. it's just one love everywhere. >> a sweet taste in my mouth. i don't have any bitterness. i take with me so many amazing memories and things that are in here, that are in here. i love you so much. i love you very, very much. >> interesting, huh? a little context for you. she was talking about leaving and missing the people of jamaica, not her family or loved ones. but it's still a sad final few words. and as for olympic track star oscar pistorius, he has been formally charged with murdering reeva steenkamp and will stay locked up until at least tuesday and a bail hearing is set for them. to sue or not to sue. a decision facing passengers from the carnival "triumph" after surviving the so-called cruise from hell. at least one woman has made her choice, filing a lawsuit. the investigation to learn what happened to the "triumph" could take a while. and cnn's susan candiotti has more for us. >> reporter: you can see the "triumph" over my shoulder, way off in the distance, just to give you a sense of scale. that ship is the length of three football fields and has 13 decks in all. a team of investigators for the u.s. coast guard, as well as for the national transportation safety board, are trying to figure out the source of sunday's fire that brought this cruise to a screeching halt. they have a lot of work ahead of them as they try to go into the engine room and figure out where the fire may have started. it might even have been somewhere else. they have to look through all of the systems on board the ship. they've already spent time talking with passengers before they disembark, and went to the far corners of the earth going back home again. but they'll also be examining the procedures that were followed after that fire took place. there is another engine room they could have turned to as an alternate source of power. however, investigators are saying that might have been a risky move. >> in this case, they may have been able to restore power, but really the safe thing to do was to tow the vessel back into port rather than try to reenergize a power system that was damaged by fire. >> reporter: investigators will also be examining what's called the voyage data recorder that among other things preserves conversations that took place aboard the ship's bridge. and also stores all the kinds of data about what was happening aboard the ship, as well. we also talked with some of the crew members that went back aboard the ship this day. they tell us they are helping with the clean-up process. the investigation will take quite some time. possibly up to a year before a final report is issued by the bohemian government where the ship is registered. susan candiotti, cnn, in mobile, alabama. unless the president and congress can agree on a new budget plan by the end of the month, it could have devastating effects on your bottom line. i'm talking layoffs, tax refunds and places we all go for family fun.

because president obama and senate democrats see his sequester as an opportunity to push through another tax increase. >> she said the president should consider some alternative budget cuts already passed by the republican-led house. florida senator marco rubio is headed to the middle east. he left today on a week-long trip that will take him to israel and jordan. he planned meetings with the israeli and palestinian prime ministers, days after they delivered the republican response to president obama's state of the union address. we've all heard about the budget cuts coming march 1st. the dreaded sequester. most of the noise has been about defense cuts. but this goes way beyond that and we'll all feel its impact one way or another. cnn's emily smith looks at one agency bracing for cutbacks. >> reporter: if rhard wood has seen one national park, he's seen them all. or hopes to. how many parks have you been to? >> well, over 200. 250, approximately. >> reporter: with great falls, virginia checked off the list, there are 150 to go. >> the national park service is, you know -- there is nothing like it in the world. >> reporter: the national park service covers more than 84 million acres in had every state but delaware and soon may do so with less because of mandatory budget cuts, known as sequestration slated to begin march 1st. >> it looks like the sequester is probably going to happen. >> reporter: john guarder works for a nonprofit group that supports the national parks and he's worried about the looming changes. >> 5% is a lot for the park service. >> reporter: the national park service is preparing to cut $110 million out of its $2.2 billion budget. that could mean shorter park hours, fewer employees, and possible closed camping and hiking areas when there's not enough staff. >> a cut of this magnitude, which would be so damaging to parks over the course of a year, federal spending would save 15 minutes. >> reporter: guarder says the park could lose $1.7 million. the statue of liberty, $779,000. still, one budget expert says the cuts are not too extreme. >> i think almost any organization can sustain a 5% cut in their budget and not have it interfere with their basic mission. >> reporter: isabelle sawhill says taxpayers may not mind getting a bit less in service to help control government spending. richard wood agrees in theory. just not here. >> i'm a big national park service fan. so i want them to cut programs that don't matter to me personally. no, i'm -- and i think unfortunately, all of us feel that way. >> emily schmidt joins me from washington. so emily, cutting the parks budget is bad enough. what else is on the chopping block. >> don, it's almost everything you deal with. every day. let's start with the food you eat. the agriculture department predicts meat inspector furloughs, meaning meat and poultry plants which checked down nationwide for up to 15 days. the agriculture department warns that could create a meat poultry and egg shortage, meaning you'll pay more. the fda says 2,100 fewer food safety inspections, more foodborne illness. when you fly, the department of homeland security says expect longer waits, because tsa would reduce its workers and the department of education says 86% of school districts wouldn't be able to make up for the loss of sequestration in the 2013-2014 school year. don, cuts could impact programs you don't even know you need yet. fema says the disaster relief fund for severe weather survivors will be cut more than $1 billion. >> goodness. so what are the odds that lawmakers can actually find a way to stop these cuts from taking effect? >> yeah. odds that it could happen? there are some odds that it could happen. they have two weeks left to try to do it. at the same time, it seems like all they're agreeing on at this point is that they think it's pretty bad policy. the problem is at this point they don't agree on how to -- you have seen senate democrats this week calling for a plan that combine taxing millionaires more, reducing defense spending after the war in afghanistan, ending foreign subsidies. they say those things could combine to replace mandatory budget cuts. but congressional republicans say they're not going to support any plan that includes tax increases. so don, these fundamental arguments haven't really changed in the more than year that sequestration has been looming. we're just not hearing a lot of optimism from congressional leaders that anything might change now in the next couple weeks. >> all right. emily schmidt, thank you so much. appreciate that. some commercials say low t is robbing men of their manline manliness. researchers say a guy's testosterone takes a hit once he gets married. and another researcher says we've got that backwards. on you?

"not tonight, britta. not tonight." [ female announcer ] to nurses everywhere, thank you, from johnson & johnson. after he left his legs in the iraq war, his community helped build him a home. the random act of kindness inspired him. and since 2008, he has helped provide homes to 17 disabled veterans. meet our cnn hero of the week. >> i'm a combat wounded iraq veteran. as i was recovering at walter reed, my community approached me and said they wanted to help build a home for my return. people would come and work on my project just because they respected the sacrifice that i had gone through. all veterans have been taught to be responsible for the guy to your left and the guy to your right. other veterans haven't had it as easy as i have, so i sat down with my battle buddy john, and we decided to level the playing field. i'm dale beatty, and it's now my mission to help other veterans get the support and homes they deserve in their communities. there's thousands of veterans right here in our midst. people don't realize the need that's out there. purple heart homes can help any disabled veteran, regardless of their age or war. >> this is the young man why we're all here today. >> just getting the community engaged, to get a ramp built or foreclosed home remodeled or entire house built from the ground up. >> narrow doorways that i couldn't get through. i had to crawl in on my hands and knees to have them build a whole new bathroom was unbelievable. >> we want to make their life easier, safer, just better. and their motions in rehab, as well. >> i did three tours in vietnam for 35 years, no one cared. purple heart homes said welcome home. it's great to be home after 40 years. >> regardless of when you serve, we're all the same. they just need to know that somebody does care about them. if you watch much tv, you don't have to watch that much, you see it and know it by now. men are not truly manly unless they're bursting with testosterone. for men suffering from so-called low t, low testosterone, there are pills and possessions and lotions. and it seems for all where testosterone is held up as a barometer that determines how much a man is really a man. how much of a man you are. well, psychologist wendy walsh's new book is available for preorder on amazon, "the 30 day love detox." wendy, listen. i see these commercials over and over and over. about before we get to this whole low t thing, how much of this is created by the pharmaceutical industry? >> 100% of it. i mean, i think that this belief system is that we have to create some kind of new ailment that people need to get fixed. and i don't think that men are suffering that much. from low t. >> okay. so before we -- men who get married. married men. it says that your testosterone is supposed to lower once you get married. is that true? can that happen? >> no. in fact, that's what's exciting about this new research out of simon frazier university in canada. is that lots of research shows that married men tended to have slightly lower testosterone levels than single men. now remember, lower testosterone levels doesn't necessarily mean lower sex drive. it doesn't necessarily mean less chest hair or whatever. it's just, you know, an anomaly about how people are made up. but the thinking was always that once you sort of domesticated a man and had him loading dish washes and changing diapers, somehow his testosterone would lower. but this new research says -- and i love to tell women this, men with slightly lower testosterone are more likely to get married. they have better bonding abilities. they're the good guys. >> because they're not -- anyway. i won't go there. >> exactly. the single men with the higher testosterone may be in multiple relationships, less likely to be monogamous, et cetera. and by the way, there's testosterone in women, too. remember. >> if you want to call them relationships. it's relations but not necessarily relationships. and i want to say, you're not a medical doctor but with all of these ads, the dangers of low t, you just said sex drive doesn't have a lot to do with sex drive. doesn't have -- may not have anything to do with sex drive. but it also has something to do with environment, right? >> well, i think we have to understand that there's got to be a much greater definition of manhood and manliness than just verify i willty. the great guys are the good fathers and ones able to keep their genes in evolution's chain for a long time. and that means learning how to be good dads and head of households. we don't see those role models in our media as much. environment does play a role. for ins
