report and get you the latest on the number casualties and local reaction. it's within one year since an earthquake triggered a tsunami and nuclear disaster in japan. see how the people of japan are marking this sad anniversary. a houston pastor asks members of his congregation to get tattoos for lent. we begin with breaking news out of afghanistan where government officials say seven people are, quote, feared dead following a shooting blamed on a u.s. service member. the incident taking place in the kandahar province. cnn's sara sidner in the capital city of kabul. a lot of conflicting reports on this story so far this morning. what have you been able to sort out? >> reporter: we heard finally from the kandahar government who say they were 15 casualties as they know it. seven feared dead and the other eight wounded. those people being treated by coalition forces in a medical facility in kandahar. according to isef, so far they have not released any kind of numbers when it comes to those who may have been killed. they are only saying people have been injured and that those people who are injured, all civilians, are being treated by coalition forces. yes, conflicting information. the taliban also weighing in saying that 50 people have been killed although their numbers a bit hard to believe in that they tend to exaggerate the number of casualties. that being said, we are getting information now from the u.s. embassy. isef has already released information saying they are deeply regrettable this incident involving civilians. any time you have an incident involving civilians, it makes it harder on coalition forces because generally there is another push and more talk from people saying that these forces need to get out of afghanistan. let me read you what the u.s. has put out in part of their statement. here's what the united states embassy has released just a few minutes ago. it says it extends its deepest condolences to the families of the victims of today's tragic shooting incident in kandahar province. by the way, this incident happening overnight actually on saturday. it says further, we are saddened by this violent act against our afghan friends. so there you have it from the american embassy. you do know, randi, this area in western afghanistan is a place that is known to have quite a sizable taliban presence there. it's seen a lot of action. certainly there is going to be a reaction to this in some form or fashion, randi. >> sara, what can you tell us about -- we understand this took place off base. and then this service member just turned himself in? >> reporter: yeah. what we're hearing now is that they confirmed it's a u.s. soldier. that the person left the base. they were not apparently on any sort of mission according to isef. they went off base, opened fire on civilians and then came back to the compound and turned himself in. that's what we've heard so far. at this point that person has been detained and certainly is likely being questioned. what we don't know is what the motive might have been behind this. what the reason was for this particular incident. and whatever happened before the incident. so we're still waiting for those details. certainly an investigation is going on not only with nato but also afghan officials are involved in the investigation as well as we hear it, randi. >> sara sidner, thank you for that reporting from kabul for us. appreciate that. diplomacy seems to be making little headway in syria as fierce fighting grips part of the country this weekend. tanks rumbled through a northern city. opposition activists say at least nine have died in idlid and other cities. kofi anan is meeting with assad for a second day today. he wants an agreement to a cease-fire and access to mu mantarian aid. exactly one year ago today everything changed in japan and the world can only watch in horror. a massive earthquake struck japan. the 9.0 quake was so powerful it shifted the earth's axis. what happened next was even worse. the quake triggered a giant tsunami that roared on to japan's northeast coast. the towering wave washed away nearly everything in its path. terrified residents fled in panic as the wall of water chased them. in this amateur video, you can hear a man screaming at the others to get to higher ground before the wave swallows them up. the tsunami crippled the fukushima daiichi nuclear power plant sparking a meltdown and unleashing radiation that forced thousands to flee. the quake and tsunami killed nearly 16,000 people and leveled entire towns. the disaster caused at least $300 billion in damage. it is evening in japan right now. across the country many people have been holding candle light vigils at a national ceremony of remembrance in tokyo earlier today japan's emperor and empress. the country will never forget and will rebuild. people also paused in cities along the tsunami battered coast. >> reporter: a year after the tsunami, this is downtown ishonumaki. still baring all the scars of when the tsunami roared ashore a year ago. there is so much work and rebuilding to be done for just this moment this city paused to remember all the victims who had died in the tsunami. people stopping here to lay flowers, to remember the dead. monks walked through ishunomaki chanting for the souls of the dead. chia kozosumi lay flowers for two friends who today are still missing. all i can do is keep going, she says, and live in the best way i can. one foot in front of the other as japan continues to recover. to politics now. rick santorum is celebrating another win this morning. he picked up 33 more delegates in yesterday's kansas caucuses. here's what he had to say. >> we've had a very, very good day in our neighboring state of kansas. this election is about big things. this is an important election. you've heard everybody say it on our side of the aisle. that this may be the most important election of our lifetime. >> tuesday's primaries and caucuses could be a make or break day. alabama and mississippi have primaries. american samoa and hawaii have caucuses. all the candidates are trying to reach 1,044 delegates. that will earn them the republican presidential nomination. here's the current count. mitt romney's campaign won the most delegates this past week. his current count stands at 458 delegates. rick santorum has 203, newt gingrich 118 and ron paul with 66. time to check our forecast. meteorologist alexander steele is in for reynolds wolf today. >> a few things to note in the weather department. one, temperatures today and this week off the charts. i'll tell you which direction they're headed. also a very wet and stormy day around the lot of the country. in the central and southern places. we're going to see potentially some severe weather. i'll show you that. also when i come back, we're going to take you to japan where the tsunami we've been talking about has created a line of trash 2,000 miles long in the central pacific and it is headed toward the u.s. west coast. i'll tell you when it gets there. that's coming up a little bit later. see you soon. >> that is a big pile of garbage you're tracking for us. thank you, alexandra. a youtube video goes viral. being an old message to a new generation of activists. could kony 2012 hurt the ongoing mission to find the man believed responsible for killing and raping thousands of women and children?

it's your money. roll over your old 401(k) into a fidelity ira and take control of your personal economy. this is going to be helpful. call or come in today. fidelity investments. turn here. welcome back. a documentary about one of the world's most wanted man has inspired some and outraged others. the video about african war lard joseph kony has received more than 1 million clicks. viewers keep coming. it's trying to raise awareness about kony's lord's resistance army and the crimes he's accused of committing against children. >> we have reached a crucial time in history where what we do or don't do right now will affect every generation to come. arresting joseph kony will prove that the world we live in has new rules. that the technology that has brought our planet together is allowing us to respond to the problems of our friends. >> the film makers hope it will promote their muchlt and put a stop to what many believe is the longest running armed conflict in africa. >> we are living in dramatic times. so the world is waking up to the fact that joseph kony right now is listening to the world. and what we want the world to know and start hashtagging right now, because he can hear my voice, hashtag kony surrender. kony surrender. because he can hear us. he knows. he's watching. we don't want this to end with war. we don't want a bullet through his head and bombs dropped on him because there are innocent women and children surrounding him. that's why he's gotten away with murder for this long. he can hear us and make the choice to surrender. >> critics have a different view of the film and its producers. many say kony 2012 manipulates the facts and the video may be doing more harm than good. we're speaking to a journalist who's spent years working on peace. you think this video is a misrepresentation of what's really happening there in uganda. tell us why you think that. >> people of northern uganda are facing different challenges. the film features a lot on perpetrators rather than victims of the war who are now picking up the pieces, trying to rebuild their lives. it is silent on the current situation in uganda. it gives the false image of uganda in 2003. >> do you feel like the film doesn't show the efforts that have actually taken place on the ground there by ugandaens themselves to also try and get joseph kony. >> perfect. we have people who went into the jungles as early as the 1990s who are trying to get kony to talk peace. we see in this video it does not reflect african initiatives. it does not reflect government initiatives. he just overlooks the african important to this. it's like the conflict -- it's like the children being abducted were only known when he stayed in uganda. that is not true. as far back as 2002 we had the u.n. chief of humanitarian affairs say it was the worst forgotten crisis in the world. in fact, he helped the world know about it at the time. but right now the situation in northern uganda is totally different from what he portrays. >> another issue you have with the film is it only promotes a military solution. kony has been out there for some time. do you really think that this long standing war with kony can be ended without military intervention? >> that's not what we're saying. indeed, this has been a long meandering war. right now i just read a moving story from a ugandaen working in the north who has brothers held by lra. we have to make sure other channels are open to make sure others' relatives are not killed just to get one man. we must be very careful in how we coin the military solution. even the office of children in armed conflict has warned a military solution alone cannot bring peace. killing just kony alone will not bring this war to an end. >> thank you very much. we appreciate you weighing in on kony 2012 with us. our journalist from uganda. thank you. uganda, of course, isn't the only place where women and children have been victimized like war criminals like joseph kony. the video has brought new attention to what really is a worldwide issue. not everyone thinks it's helpful. chairman for unhcr has been working for years with the organization on the worldwide battle to save lives. nice to have you on the show this morning. let's first take a look at a graphic. it really has some startling information that you actually provided to us. according to unhcr, of the 43 million refugees in the world, approximately 33 million are under protection of the united nations refugee agency in some form. 80% of those refugees are women and children. charity, tell us, why are women and children at a much higher risk here? >> well, thanks for having me, randi. i mean, you know, it's almost actually almost 34 million refugees are under the care of the unhcr. we suspect that about half of them are children. so when there's forced displacement or internal conflict, oftentimes the men are killed or, for instance, in somalia, may stay behind to watch the -- watch the crops. and the women and children, the most vulnerable, flee. it is the most vulnerable children that are at the highest risk of recruitment, forced recruitment. and if the infrastructure internally is so weak, po enshlly voluntarily recruiting themselves in order to receive some security and/or financial support and/or just a warm -- a warm meal. so there's all kinds of ways in which children who are displaced around the world are particularly vulnerable to recruitment by armed forces. >> you recently returned from colombia where this type of activity has also been a problem for years. just tell us briefly about that trip. >> i went down to look at our projects and learn about a project outside of bogata in an area called swatcha. i actually went to a school for displaced children where some families have been displaced two, three, four, five times. to illegal armed groups throughout the country for varying reasons. i think it's important to note that, you know, while children are recruited to participate in arms, they're also recruited to be laborers. you know, i spoke with one man where they're forced to sell drugs as young as 10 years old. these children are kind of in this limbo land. they're not protected, necessarily, by the government. their parents are no longer voting because they're constantly moving. so they can particularly fall through the cracks. >> just very quickly, if you wanted to leaf us with one thing, i know your agency has many strategies and priorities to try and help rescue the refugee children. we have some of them. we're not going to have time to get through all of them. give me the one goal here of your program. >> demobilization, disarmament and reintegration of children. the video talks about getting the children to go home. what's essential in that is having a transit center where children receive psychosocial services which the unhcr is providing in south sudan for some children who are being rescued right now. education and employment opportunities are two of the most preventive measures in places that are vulnerable and need infrastructure. unhcr is working on all those fronts. >> this is certainly a problem around the world just highlighted by this kony 2012 video. charity tooze, appreciate your time and efforts around the world. >> thank you very much. did you know there's a mini gold rush going on? ahead, i'll tell you where you can make some money the old-fashioned way. in here, the landscaping business grows with snow. to keep big winter jobs on track, at&t provided a mobile solution that lets everyone from field workers to accounting, initiate, bill, and track work in real time. you can't live under a dome in minnesota, that's why there's guys like me. [ male announcer ] it's a network of possibilities -- helping you do what you do... even better. ♪ you know, typical alarm clock. i am so glad to get rid of it. just to be able to wake up in the morning on your own. that's a big accomplishment to me. i don't know how much money i need. but i know that whatever i have that's what i'm going to live within. ♪ ♪ the progresso chicken noodle you made is so good. it's got tender white meat chicken. the way i always made it for you. one more thing.... those pj's you like, i bought you five new pairs. love you. did you see the hockey game last night? [ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup. let's take a look now at a few stories making news across the country. we'll start in the golden state. >> dream act, united, we'll never be denialed. >> the 3,000 mile march from san francisco to the nation's capital has begun. support oreers of the dream alc raising awareness to providing a path for citizenship for undocumented students. they expect the reach the u.s. capitol in october. >> i'm fighting for them because i believe that they deserve -- that they deserve the future. no, it's not 1849. but there's a gold rush in california. okay. a mini one. ideal conditions including a dry, warm winter plus a rise in the price of gold are bringing people out to waters in search of gold. >> you can make better than minimum wage. >> gold panners say if conditions get drier the gold rush will only get bigger. a round of applause for vietnam veteran robert roach. for the past eight years he's been living without something very important to him. his stolen purple heart. but this weekend, american legion post 1111 teamed up with his choir to honor the hero, presenting him with a new purple heart. >> i expected to cry. but i was able to just enjoy the situation with the people. and you are going to want to see a dramatic rescue at sea. you'll see how they ended up stranded, next. 19 people are safe after they were rescued from a stranded ship off the coast of sicily. two coast guard helicopters rescued the crew of an italian cargo vessel that ran aground during pretty rough seas and heavy winds yesterday. the crew members are all in good condition. today marks the one-year anniversary of the deadly earthquake and tsunami that ravaged parts of japan. the disaster also sent a wave of garbage into the sea. it's thousands of miles long, still floating in the ocean and it's now getting closer to our shores. i want to bring in meteorologist alexandra steele for much more on this. alexandra, you're tracking this big hunk of junk for us. what can you tell snus. >> you saw in those pictures, you can see that hunk of junk. now because it's so dispersed satellites really can't pick it up. computer models are kind of looking out and trying to track this. how big was this junk initially? 23 million metric tons of materials were displaced from the tsunami. most of that did sink to the ocean. there are still about 900,000 metric tons still floating about. computer scientists are out there. what they're doing is looking at and using computer models by look agent the ocean currents and winds in the pacific and trying to estimate where this kind of wall of junk will move. now, so far the one year it's traveled about 2,000 miles. scientists simulating this project, what they're expecting is the northwest hawaiian islands to begin to see some of this trash, believe it or not, beginning next month. then it will continue to move eastward, move into the pacific northwest, potentially, in 2013. then because of the effect and currents, we could see the trash go back again and move in 2014 to the central hawaiian islands. that's kind of all the estimation. much of it, again, has and could sink. obviously, there could be problems. some of those biggest ones are the contamination, randi, of, of course, the oceans and the food chain. but a lot of this is just kind of speculation. but obviously with this massive wall of junk there's going to be some major issues. >> if you're planning a vacation to hawaii you want to do it before this junk reaches there. >> the northwest hawaiian islands, and it's continuing northwest. the southwest coast shouldn't see it in 2013. the northwest will. then cycling back. that's a lot of the factors that are being put into the simulation to figure out where the motion of this will go. >> it's not good no matter how you look at it, right, for anyone in the sea, any of those living creatures or anyone on the beach. thank you very much. several afghan civilians now feared dead and a u.s. troop member is accused of pulling the trigger. the latest on this breaking story just ahead. and church members in houston getting tattoos for lent. i'm going to speak with their pastor about why he not only thinks it's a good idea, but, yes, he did get one himself. all i could do was worry ! specialists, lots of doctors, lots of advice... and my hands were full. i couldn't sort through it all. with unitedhealthcare, it's different. we have access to great specialists, and our pediatrician gets all the information. everyone works as a team. and i only need to talk to one person about her care. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. for fastidious librarian emily skinner, each day was fueled by thorough preparation for events to come. well somewhere along the way, emily went right on living. but you see, with the help of her raymond james financial advisor, she had planned for every eventuality. ...which meant she continued to have the means to live on... ...even at the ripe old age of 187. life well planned. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. why you fell in love with her in the first place. and why you still feel the same. but your erectile dysfunction -- that could be a question of blood flow. cialis for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms of bph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask if your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than four hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or if you have any allergic reactions such as rash, hives, swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a 30-tablet free trial. i like yoplait. it is yoplait. but you said it was greek. mmhmm. so is it greek or is it yoplait? exactly. okay... [ female announcer ] yoplait. it is so greek. at meineke i have options... like oil changes starting at $19.95. my money. my choice. my meineke. welcome back, everyone, to "cnn sunday morning." thanks for starting your morning with us. i'm randi kaye. the government in kandahar, afghanistan, says seven people are feared dead following a shooting by the u.s. service member. no motive is known. officials say the service member acted alone. in a statement the u.s. embassy says it offered its condolences for the incident. an investigation is under way. for some perspective on that shooting in afghanistan, let's bring in retired u.s. army colonel bob mcginniss. he joining me by phone from woodbridge, virginia. let's talk about this. we're told by our sara sidner it is a u.s. soldier. let's talk about this soldier first. what's next for this u.s. soldier now that he's been detained? >> randi, he will be held, obviously. then he'll be given an attorney and will be, you know, questioned with that attorney present. whether or not he waives his rights will be determined. then, of course, you know, it could be a protracted process as the investigation goes forward. all the evidence is gathered. but then obviously if he's charged ultimately, he will be tried by court-martial. there's no extradition in this case. it will be a military cou court-marti court-martial. he will then be probably brought back to the united states for that court-martial because of the potential geopolitical issues that are associated with an incident like this. >> let's talk about kandahar as a whole. this is certainly a tough place. i don't have to tell you this. a tough place, certainly a difficult place for a foreign soldier to be fighting. do you think something like this could have come from fatigue or stress or other elements taking place there? >> yeah. i think it's quite possible. keep in mind, kandahar is the birthplace of the taliban. it's not perceived to be the greatest place around. we do have some forward operating bases there that are well secured. once you go outside the wire, though, you feel as if you're in no man's land for the most part. given the fighting that has been ongoing, that you're separated from your family, you're in a strange country and, of course, you're recently as we all know the tension is very, very high outside all our forward operating bases because of the demonstrations associated with the koran burning. so it is a very tough environment. unfortunately, it could happen to have occurred here that one person went off the deep end and obviously did something very wrong. >> let's talk about the tension there in the kandahar province. this comes after the koran burning. the number of deaths there as a result of that including u.s. soldiers. of course, the protests there taking place. what do you expect will be the result following this? >> well, you know, this is really to a certain degree and a larger sense about trust. you know, we had some soldiers that were killed by their afghan comrades here recently. that, of course, undermined trust. of course, the trust was undermined when six soldiers allegedly burned the koran. this is something that i think you're going to see spin out in the geopolitical environments. already president karzai has made statements that it's time for the foreign troops to leave. our military is capable of doing the job. of course, the president, president obama, has already announced that we're going to withdraw most of our forces by 2014. so these sorts of incidents sour the relationship and, if anything, they expedite our departure. hopefully karzai is right and that they can handle the threat. of course, the taliban, the enemy, will take advantage of this unrest and this distrust between foreign forces and afghans to do whatever they can to speed up their own return to power if, in fact, that's going to happen. >> colonel bob mcginniss, thank you for your insight on this. we appreciate you calling in this morning. >> thank you, randi. candy crowley is talking to the senate majority leader harry reid today. he joins us with a preview, next. 8% every 10 years. wow. wow. but you can help fight muscle loss with exercise and ensure muscle health. i've got revigor. what's revigor? it's the amino acid metabolite, hmb to help rebuild muscle and strength naturally lost over time.

"state of the union." thank you. in a lot of churches, people with tattoos are a rare sight. but at a church in houston, texas, one of the pastors is embracing people with tattoos. in fact, he had encouraged some of his members to get tattoos to demonstrate their faith for lent. photos of their designs being incorporated into an art exhibit. chris say is that pastor. he joins me now. pastor, tell me first, where did this idea come from? >> randi, i was reading a book called "cruciformity" about embracing the suffering of christ. every year we do the stations of the cross. it's a beautiful thing we do every lent in telling the story of jesus. this year we decided to embrace an art form that's pretty common among our people but hasn't maybe been commonly embraced by the church. it's a great way to tell the story of jesus suffering, ultimately of his resurrection we celebrate on easter. >> are lots of folks taking part? >> well, you know, this invitation wasn't for everybody. so we have a lot of people that already have tattoos. but we invited people to do it. we only needed ten. we created ten of the stations of the cross. and the invitation we made to everybody that we've shared and passed on to many churches, i talk about in my most recent book called "a place at the table" is one to embrace the suffering of the poor. eat as the poor would eat during lent. there are a few that we've said you might want to get one of these tattoos. remarkably we've had about 60 people so far get these tattoos. it's displaying in our art gallery here in downtown houston. and telling the story of jesus in a way that a lot of people are really connecting with. and that's what we get excited about. >> i understand that you got one of your own. is that correct? >> i did. so i got the resurrection tattoo. >> can you show it to us? >> i can. let me show you. this is literally life coming from death. so this tree emerging from the coffin that reminds us that jesus rose again and that we will all rise with him. i've experienced a great deal of loss this year, not only of some people in our church that we love, my grandfather who is a long-time pastor here in houston. his name, i call him papa, he's on my tree. this reminder to me that this life is not all there is. which is at the heart of the christian message. it's the one i want to talk about. that's what i get fired up to tell people about. >> we have some -- a photo of you actually getting this ta too. i can't imagine how painful that might have been. i want to ask you about la vid kus 1928. it does say you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead nor tattoo any marks upon you, i am the lord. what do you say to those who may look at your tattoos and others and say this isn't right, this is just simply wrong? >> i'd say like every place in the bible you have to read this in context, right? it was about in that culture, particularly what tattoos meant, the verse before that also says not to cut your hair or to ever trim your beard. so if anybody's had a haircut, they've violated levidicus. no longer does cutting your hair or getting a tattoo mean worshipping a pagan god. in our culture it means something quite different. about 30% of people under 30 already have tattoos. in the urban parts of the country it's higher. we'd say it's a great bible lesson, really, to learn how to read the bible well. in levidicus there was a particular meaning. the great part is now you get to go read it and figure out what was that really fully about, cutting hair or getting tattoos or any of the rest of it? if we thought it violated stripture, we wouldn't do it. we think the scripture is our guide. ultimately we want to invite people to read the scriptures and encounter the living god that we know that loves everybody. we think that means loves people that have tattoos, people that don't shower very often, people that are really poor or really rich. >> pastor seay, very interesting take. i love how you're demonstrating the faith for lent. thank you very much for your time. nice tattoo. >> you bet, randi, thanks, glad you enjoyed it. >> for more more on this story go to our belief blog at cnn.com/belief. you can also share your thoughts there as well. just ahead, we're going to show you something that you've probably never seen before. five people, five people playing a single guitar at the same time. which provided for their every financial need. and then, in one blinding blink of an eye, their tree had given its last. but with their raymond james financial advisor, they had prepared for even the unthinkable. and they danced. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you. like splenda® essentials™ no calorie sweeteners. this bowl of strawberries is loaded with vitamin c. and now, b vitamins to boot. coffee doesn't have fiber. unless you want it to. splenda® essentials™ are the first and only line of sweeteners with a small boost of fiber, or antioxidants, or b vitamins in every packet. mmm. same great taste with an added "way to go, me" feeling. splenda® essentials™. get more out of what you put in. the progresso chicken noodle you made is so good. it's got tender white meat chicken. the way i always made it for you. one more thing.... those pj's you like, i bought you five new pairs. love you. did you see the hockey game last night? [ male announcer ] progresso. you gotta taste this soup. welcome back, everyone. i want you to take a look at this. five starving artists sharing one guitar. well, actually, it's the canadian band walk of the earth showing off their skills at the south by southwest conference in austin, texas. they're not really starving. they're just really talented, kind of cool and a little bit weird. ♪ now you're just somebody that i used to know ♪ ♪ i used to know, somebody >> see that guy just sort of on the end? he's just kind of hanging out, his arms are crossed. kind of funny. wasn't really doing anything. selection sunday for march madness is today. we want you to join our bracket challenge. i'm filling out a bracket. i could use some help. hope you're filling one out. if you are test your bracket skills against mine. go to cnn.com/brackets to join the march madness cnn group. ray deless owe is joining me now for sports. you have a bracket going. are you going to help me with mine. >> i might. but we're in direct competition. i can't help you too much. >> give us pointers. >> bosses absolutely hate march madness. people spend more time on their computer researching teams than they do working. i went ahead, i did the research for them. this way they can be more productive at work tomorrow. for starters, when filling out those bracket sheets, immediately, immediately put your number one seeds through to the second round. you writing this down? >> i'm taking notes. >> since 1985 no number one seed has ever lost in the first round. in 25 years, the number 13 and 14 seeds have combined to win only 18% of first round games. also, seeds worse than number 12, only six have made it past the second round. getting back to the number one seeds, this might be a little confusing, only once have all four number one seeds reached the final four. and that was in 2008. last year no top seeds reached the final four. in fact, only one made it to the elite eight. that was kansas. >> who's going to take it all? do we know? >> i got to tell you, i'm liking syracuse. >> that's who i was told i should like, too. >> i'm liking syracuse. speaking of bracket sheets, look at this. this enormous bracket is atriums bracket lounge. what makes it even cooler, if you stand in front of it and take a picture, there's a logo on the floor. the logo is actually in 3-d. snap a picture. there's the low go there. when you take a picture it comes out in 3-d. i went down there myself. took a picture. you can see more of that picture. >> we should get started on those brackets immediately. >> absolutely. when they announce it tonight, go ahead and start filling them out. >> i'm ready. . let's talk about peyton manning. sounds like he's got a bit of a road trip going on. >> once it was announced the colts were not resigning him, all these teams lined up. they started, you know, contacting his agency. now there's a big difference between teams that are interested in peyton manning and really interested. right now there's some front-runners being the denver broncos, the arizona cardinals and the miami dolphins. now, manning spent the better part of friday and saturday meeting with broncos general manager john elway before heading off to arizona. the good thing about arizona, randi, manning could play indoors on a natural grass field. they have that grass field they move in and out of the stadium so it gets natural sunlight during the week. something his soon to be 36-year-old body would appreciate. i'm a die hard colts fan. been one for a long time. to see peyton fanning not be in a colts uniform, it's still hard to fathom. >> you going to be okay. >> i'm all right. >> the story they call my eye today is the idea that yoga could become an olympic sport? >> let me start by saying this. okay? i'm not going to knock yoga. >> please don't. >> i know you do it. >> yes. >> i have never done yoga. from what i hear you have to be in pretty darn good shape. >> it's pretty intense. >> why not make it an olympic sport. finalists at the new york regional and national yoga asana championship contorted their bodies hoping to prove that, yes, the mental and physical aspects of the ancient art qualify the practice as an olympic sport. i'm not going to argue with them. if they can do things like that, you know, go for it. >> for the record, i can't do that. don't feel badly if you can't do that. >> i think the meditation part of yoga would be cool. if i tried sticking my leg over my head, you guys would be carrying me out of here on a stretcher. >> oh, boy. we'd help you, though. i'd like to see that. >> i wouldn't. >> thank you very much. appreciate it. we'll get the very latest on this morning's shootings in afghanistan right after this very quick break. they're all like, "hey, brother, doesn't it bother you that no one notices you?" and i'm like, "doesn't it bother you you're not reliable?" and they say, "shut up!" and i'm like, "you shut up." in business, it's all about reliability. 'cause these guys aren't just hitting "print." they're hitting "dream." so that's what i do. i print dreams, baby. [whispering] big dreams. in your breakfast cereal, what is? now, in every box of general mills big g cereal, there's more whole grain than any other ingredient. that's why it's listed first. get more whole grain than any other ingredient... just look for the white check. the kandahar government says seven people are feared dead following a shooting that is being blamed on a u.s. service member. officials say that service member who has been detained acted alone, walking off base to commit the shooting before coming back and then turning himself in. the motive for the shooting is unknown. an investigation is now under way. a spokesman for the nato-led coalition in the region calling the incident, quote, deeply regrettable. police in kenya say an apparent grenade attack on a nairobi bus station has left at least six people dead, nearly 70 others wounded. authorities say they suspect the al shabab terror group is behind the blast. so far there has been no claim of responsibility. 19 people are safe after they were rescued from a stranded ship off the coast of sicily. you can see it there. two coast guard helicopters rescued the crew of an italian cargo vessel. the crew members all in good condition. let's get one last check of our forecast with meteorologist alexandra steele in for reynolds wolf today. hello again, alexandra. >> good morning. did everyone spring forward this morning? i hope you remembered. we did. we're here on time. we have a little spring in your step it may be because of the warmth today. here's the country on this sunday. a few areas of concern, rain and some snow in the higher elevations coming into the pacific northwest, number one. the potential for some severe storms around the ark la techs today. other than that high pressure in control. northeast will be beautiful. temperatures will be the story. really as warm as these are today and tomorrow they will pale in comparison to wednesday's and thursday's really incredible warmth. minot waking up there. you'll go whoa as you wake up and walk out. 26 degrees above average. 63. minneapolis, 64. 22 degrees above average. the axis of that heat shifts eastward for tomorrow. minneapolis, st. louis gets to 80 degrees. 23 degrees above average. then it all moves eastward. tuesday, wednesday, thursday, new york, boston, washington gets into the mid and upper 60s. atlanta, nashville, charlotte flirts with 80 by wednesday and thursday. so the heat will be on. you know, randi, part and parcel to this entire winter, right? meteorological winter, december, january, february is over. on the whole around country it was the fourth warmest on record. so
