Transcripts For KPIX CBS This Morning 20130306

Welcome to cbs this morning. More than 1,000 flights on the east coast have been canceled. Huge storm is dumping snow on the Nations Capital and the midatlantic. The storm is expected to hit virginia and washington especially hard. Chip reid is in leesburg virginia, out in the elements. Chip good morning. Reporter well, good morning, norah and charlie. In leesburg the snow started a little after midnight. I peeked out the window 4 00 a. M. , barely any snow at all. Now it is coming down seriously. We have about three inches. Were expecting up to a foot of snow here. This is the biggest snowstorm theyve had in this region in more than two years, also the biggest snowstorm theyve had in chicago which was slammed by this storm yesterday. More than 1,000 flights were canceled at chicago area airports. Hundreds of schools were closed. In minnesota more than 200 crashes on highways were responded to by state police and in wisconsin, a semitruck slid off the road one person was killed when that truck went into a river, and in all those midwestern states, tens of thousand thousands, if not millions of students had the day off. Here in virginia and across the river in maryland what theyre really worried about is this. Take a look. This snow is so heavy, its perfect for making snowballs but it is terrible for trees and power lines. Theyre all weighted down already. There is an armada of power trucks standing by. After Hurricane Sandy this area had millions of people without power, theyre hoping to avoid that this time around. Charlie and norah . Chip reid thanks. We head to washington where the storm is shutting down much of the town and nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The snow started coming down in the district about an hour ago and it is heavy and wet as advertised. Earlier this morning, federal officials announced that they would be closing all d. C. Area federal offices today, and d. C. Area schools are closed as well. The house of representatives behind me moved up all its votes for the rest of the week so house members could try to get out of here for the weekend this afternoon, but thats going to be difficult. 1,300 flights in the d. C. Area at the three Regional Airports have been canceled and sure to be more cancellations through the rest of the day. D. C. Area Commuter Rail lines shut down today as well. D. C. Is famous for having difficulty dealing with snow we dont get that much of it people arent that used to driving in it so even an inch of snow can foul up traffic. Weve gotten 3. 5 inches of snow in d. C. In the past two winters combined and we could see more of that today, though the good news is that temperatures will be up through the 50s and 60s by the weekend. Norah and charlie . Nanny cordes thank you. And cbs news weather consultant david bernard, how bad is the storm going to get . Lets start with where the storm is now. Its very tricky. Nancy had an accurate report. Where we see the pink running along 95 from baltimore to d. C. That is snow and rain mixing where chip is further to the north and west its snow into Northern Virginia, West Virginia and maryland but all of this snow is getting ready to move to the east later today and we expect it to increase in intensity in the baltimore, washington, d. C. Corridor. The mountains to the west over a foot of snow baltimore, d. C. , 6 to 12, southeastern new england 6 to 12 inches of snow and everywhere in between including the tristate area maybe up to six inches but even that is going to be on the tricky side were also monitoring the potential for coastal flooding along the jersey shoreline. David bernard thanks. The bulls continued their run on wall street yesterday, the dow opened up about 35 minutes ago at a record high, the stock index recovered the losses it suffered in the Great Recession despite government gridlock, high unemployment and rising gas prices. Anthony mason is with us. Whats going on . The fed has pumped 3 trillion into the economy, corporate profits soaring up almost as much as the market during that same period in time. Weve seen unemployment edging down and we have the latest housing numbers yesterday, house prices up almost 10 in january from a year ago, thats the best growth weve seen since 2006. You put all that together and youve got a very happy market. Still reasons to be cautious . And skeptical . Its interesting, this is the most sedate reaction on wall street ive seen to a record high. Theres still a lot of skeptics out there, in part because people are worried about what the fed is going to do. With all this money theyve pumped in, at some point they are going to take it out. The question is when and how are they going to do it. Lot of people feel some of the air will come out of the worked when it happens. The stock may be high but a lot of people are still in pain. Someone said in the eye opener the market is not the economy. The economy is not as giddy as the market is but the market is looking ahead. Lot of people on wall street believe next year could be strong in the u. S. Economy and we might see real job growth with it. Does that mean perhaps a relief for people who are looking for jobs with unemployment still pretty high . This is what weve been waiting for and this is why the fed said theyre not going to start pulling money out yet. Theyre trying to bring down unemployment which is almost double what it was before this all began and to do that theyre trying to keep Interest Rates low. The market is a reflection of maybe things are Getting Better and hopefully the jobless rate will come down. Anthony mason good to see you, thank you. The rules are changing for flyers, not everyone is happy about it. Starting late next month, passengers will be allowed to board commercial flights with knives, something that hasnt happened since the september 11th attack. Bob orr is at Reagan National airport. Good morning, some people are not happy about this. Reporter good morning. This say partial rollback of a key Security Policy put in place after 9 11. After an al qaeda hijackers used box cutters to hijack four jetliners the u. S. Government banned all knives on passenger planes. Over the last 12 years, millions of knives have been confiscated at airport checkpoints. Now the ban is being relaxed. Effective april 25th, air travelers will be permitted to carry small folding pocket knives, as long as blades are no longer than 2. 36 inches and no wider than half an inch. Box cutters and larger knives will still be banned but Flight Attendants say even small knives present a threat. When you look back before 9 11 all it took was box cutters coming through. This point knives small knives all the same to us. Stacy martin represents Flight Attendants at southwest airlines. Theyre lieuing the items to come through and putting the responsibility of the cabin completely on us even though they know coming through security are these items. Reporter the Transportation Security Administration argues the change brings u. S. Regulations in line with International Safety rules and there allow Security Officers to spend more time looking for higher threat items, like explosives. This really is a good decision. Reporter former ntsb chairman Mark Rosenker says security has to stay focused on the real danger. Weve seen underwear that can blow up shoes theyve attempted to blow up. Weve seen people that have all kinds of chemicals that potentially could blow up. They really need to be looking at the kinds of threats that are significantly more lethal than a two and a half inch blade. Reporter interestingly the small folding knives passengers will be able to take golf clubs, lacrosse sticks and the reasoning is with hardened cockpits, more air marshals and armed pilots those items cant be used to hijack airplanes. Job losses Border Security and pay, but now the fight over automatic Government Spending cuts is focusing on things Like White House tours and golf games. Bill plante is at the white house. Bill, good morning. Reporter good morning. And good morning out west. Now remember those budget cuts known as the sequester were never supposed to happen. They were supposed to be so unpalateable Neither Party would let them happen but they did and each side is blaming the other like crazy and now its come to this. White house tours . Republicans in congress are furious. They smell payback, why . Because the only way to get white house tour tickets is through your congressman or senator and now theyve been canceled. The word went out tuesday from the White House Visitors Office which told members of congress due to staffing reductions, we regret to inform you that white house tours will be canceled. The secret service says that reassigning their officers who normally conduct the tours will reduce overtime costs and may reduce furloughs. Republicans who have accused the president of overdramatizing the effect of the budget cuts erupted, they point out the white house spends tens of thousands of dollars on parties and Christmas Decorations every year. Congressman gilmert of texas is threatening retaliation to the president where it really hurts, his passion for golf. He wants to cut off the president s golf outings in the deal to keep the government funded through the end of the fiscal year. None of the funds made available by a division of this act may be used to transport the president to or from a golf course until public tours of the white house resume. Reporter House Speaker john boehner stepped up to the plate in an email to his constituents saying while im disappointed the white house has chose on it comply with sequestration by cutting public tours im pleased to assure you that public tours of the United States capitol will continue. Other republicans joined the invitation, eager to show that they wouldnt try to save money by inconveniencing tourists. Come to the senate come to the house, come to the capitol. Reporter now the white house made this decision and they say its all about keeping secret Service Officers from having to take unpaid leave but even democrats are skeptical that this is all for real. The wall street journal column today reports that despite the budget cuts, the Agricultural Department is underwriting a conference in california which features a banquet and a tasting of what it calls exceptional local wine. And by the way, theres no real threat to the president s trips to the golf course but the back and forth shows how petty things have gotten. Bill plante thank you. At the vatican, the cardinals who will elect the new pope dont seem to be in any hurry. One cardinal says the date of the conclave has not been decided yet and two cardinals still havent even shown up. Mark phillips is in vatican city, good morning. Reporter good morning norah and charlie. The church does not move quickly. The cardinals said they have a lot to discuss even before they get around to filling the worlds most famous job they can seat and thats the way its turning out but they say theres a reason theyre moving this slowly. Its a question of pay me now or pay me later. According to many of the cardinals who are meeting for the Third Straight day, the more they talk now in what they call their congregation the quicker they say the actual conclave will go, whenever they get down to vote and while they scurried to and fro in rome the man who caused the excitement by resigning former Pope Benedict has been taking a quiet stroll on the grounds of the papal retreat outside town. This picture courtesy of the italian celebrity magazine which normally spies on topless princesses but if the winds are change are actually blowing through the church, the cardinals are feeling their way as to how to respond. Papal resignations child abuse scandals Dysfunctional Church government, these are concerns that can take time. The cardinals have all taken an oath of secrecy but the church has a problem with leaks these days so its just as well to pick up the morning paper on the way to work to find out whos saying what. As the preparations continue to turn the Sistine Chapel into the worlds most elaborating decorating polling booth the last of the 115 cardinal electors who will choose the new pope are due to arrive over the next day or so. That will remove the last legal impediment to holding the conclave, but the landscape of potential candidates is still vast and the game is still to deny you have ambition. Or in the case of bostons Cardinal Sean omalley to say youre not contemplating trading in your friars robe for more papal attire. I have worn this uniform for over 40 years and i presume i will wear it until i die, and, because i dont expect to be elected pope. Reporter not all of the action thats taking place behind closed doors, the child abuse survivors has put out a list what have they call the dirty dozen cardinals should not be considered for the job of pope because of their involvement they say in the churchs child abuse coverup. There are three american cardinals on that controversial list. Norah, charlie . Mark phillips thanks. A public funeral will be held in caracas, venezuelan president hugo chavez died yesterday after a twoyear battle with cancer. He befriended americas enemies during his nearly 14 years in power. He used his countrys vast oil wealth to fund social problems which made him popular among venezuelas core. Zbl steve kroft interviewed chavez for 60 minutes. Here is the way youre perceived in the United States in people a mixture between fidel castro and juan gueron april demagogue, dictator. Translator i have been compared to hitler sort of mix between mussolini and who knows, the devil himself, and what i do is juggle for a people. I am a true democrat. There are people who have suggested that you are somewhat loco. Translator well, i dont want to compare, but they said that columbus was crazy. I am aware that people say that about me but i think that there are other people far crazier than i am. Incredible it was just last year that they said that venezuela has larger oil reserves than saudi arabia. Venezuela matters. It did, and the other thing it does. It did and does and because of his controversial nature and because he was so high profile in terms of what he did, hes one of the few latin american leaders most peoples name would recognize. Absolutely. But led a divided country that is in crisis. Exactly. Now it is time to show you some of this mornings headlines from around the globe. The Washington Post says the u. S. Military is not prepared for a fullscale cyberwar. The Defense Department study warns the pentagon must ramp up its defense and offense against the cyber attack. The panel of civilian and military experts warns a cyber attack combined with conventional war ware foo severely weaken the ability of the forces in the field. Usa today say there are a number of antigovernment militias in the country, spurred by the battle of gun control, their numbers reached an alltime high last year and continue to grow. The New York Times says funding for state and localal colleges goes down and costs go up. The times looks at speculation whether the duchess of came bringbridge is having a daughter. Rumored swirled yesterday when she thanked the woman for a teddy bear and appeared to begin to say the word daughter. Here is the reaction. No, no no im sure im sure we dont know, so.

Get you updated on some bay area headlines now. San Francisco Police are still on the scene of a standoff thats been going on all morning long in the bayview. They have arrested at least two suspects in a robbery of a medical marijuana dispensary. At least one more suspect is believed to be barricaded in a building near jennings and wallace. No injuries have been reported. A patient at San Mateo Medical Center is being evaluated after allegedly setting fires in his room last night. Damage was confined to that one hospital room but nearby patients had to be evacuated. Got your traffic and Weather Forecast coming up right after the break. Good morning. We are watching a crash right now. They are having to do oneway Traffic Control near eastbound 92 approaching highway 35. So expect some delays around that area. 280 itself is still at the limit. Over at the bay bridge, we have had a busy morning, a couple of stalls. Its been slick in spots, the bay bridge wind advisory has been canceled but its still backed up into the maze. That is traffic. For your forecast, heres lawrence. We continue to see some scattered showers around the bay area on our highdef Doppler Radar. Of course, that cold front moving through overnight bringing with it some heavy rainfall and some strong gusty winds. Showers now showing up in parts of the north bay and also down into monterey peninsula but looks like we are going to watch this on and off throughout the day today into the afternoon, temperatures in the 50s. A couple is under arrest after leading police on a chase through two states. A suspect stole a Police Cruiser in philadelphia and took off nearly hitting a woman on the street. Later the car eventually hit parked cars when the stop ended. It began in new jersey when they stole a Different Police car. They managed to stop the car and arrest one person but the other managed to swipe the cruiser. There it is. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Police chiefs across the country are dealing with bad apples in their own departments. Theyre finding it nearly impossible to fire some of their own officers in part because of arbitration and senior rules. Our Senior Correspondent john miller served in ranking positions at both the l. A. And new york police departments. In rare cases theyre fired, but often that is not end of the the story. Officers appeal their cases to state arbitrators, Civil Service boards and civilian commissions and many times end up back on the job. What . What . In oklahoma this Police Lieutenant was fired for cuffed this prisoner with his elbow in a mouth. Here they beat a money outside a hospital. And in philadelphia this lieutenant was fired after smacking down a woman at a disorderly street festival. He has appealed to an arbitrator but his chances are good. In philadelphia nine oust ten cops fired by the police chief are reinstated by an outside arbitrator. Its a problem across the country, which is frustrated Police Chiefs and sheriffs. Have you fired people and had them come back . Yes. And i believe that thats the process. Los angeles county sheriff lee baca runs the biggest Sheriffs Department in the u. S. Youve about got people that have come to the judgment that they shouldnt be out there and somebodys super seededseded your judgment. How does that feel . That our judgment becomes somewhat nonsignificant in these certain cases. Ah my leg in milwaukee, this officer was fired after he was caught by a dash cam punching this handcuffed woman in the face. The City Commission overruled the chief and reinstated officer. Under pressure from an outraged community unanimous decision. A week later the Police Commissioner refired the officer. In spokane washington the sheriff has fired deputies only to see them back on the job. There is no clearly defined Public Policy against a Law Enforcement officer being dishonest. So this sheriff went to the Washington State legislature to change the law. The only thing it changed in the law is that if an arbitrator finds that a deputy has committed these crimes or they have been dishonested, they can overturn the sheriffs discipline at that point yes, you have committed these crimes, but yoer ooh getting your job back. This legislation would allow a chief or sheriff to make an accusation, investigate that accusation himself, be the judge and jury if that accusation was true and then be the executer of the discipline for that. But sheriff knezovich believes he is the one person responsible for the officers under his command. Im accountable for over 471,000 people. Theyre the ones who will tell me when its time to step back down. Ozzie knezovich testified for his bill. It died quietly without ever getting to the floor for a vote. And chiefs and sheriffs in other cities are watching. What are the ramifications that they take these arbitrations to the board and always or most often lose . One of the ramifications is Police Chiefs have just given up on trying to fire people because it just doesnt work. Take the case in philadelphia. They had a Police Officer show up to work high on cocaine and drunk, took a police car, crashed it drunk and high and was fire and reinstated by the arbitrators. I mean this seems like the obvious question. Whos on these arbitration boards . Whether its the Civil Service commission. In miami, theres a heavy influence from the union. In philadelphia theres an interesting makeup. But, you know they get to the place where one of the attorneys may also do work for the union, but they get to the place where they treat officers like other government employees, like gee, they have an otherwise good record, dont they deserve one more chance and the police chief is saying when they come back hes responsible. Thank you. And nearly ten years after a stock trading scandal landed her in prison Martha Stewart was back in court. This time she was defending her personal reputation. Michelle miller shows us the tugofwar between two giants over the moguls media brand. Reporter selfassured Martha Stewart testified she did not breach her contact with macys when she inked a deal with jc penney. She told the court, i keep looking at the even tire episode of this lawsuit wondering why. Its a contract dispute. It boggles my mind were sitting in front of you, judge. Penneys approached her in 2009 when she had not maximized the potential of her business as promised. Sales stalled at 300 million, not the 400 million shed hoped for, ail while her Parent Company endured its fifth Straight Year of losses. The 71yearold said we got to a certain dollar amount and struggled and never got any furts. Retail analyst brian sozzi. They havent done much with the brand. What jc penney is doing is make it interesting, getting more customers in the store. Reporter penneys even bought a 16 stake in it but macys sees it as her turning her back on the contract forcing consumers to make a competitive choice. Isnt a shopper less likely to walk to the other end of the mall and buy another Martha Stewart design . Stewart answered theyre going to buy where they feel comfortable shopping where the price is the best and they getting the very best quality. I think martha comes out a winner. Shes gaining interest in her brand. But what im worried about is what if jc penny loses. Reporter known for her dry wit, when they asked how she did it, she replied to her fivemonth jail stint and said i did my time. Michelle miller cbs news new york. Theres a contract that Martha Stewart has with macys, and theyre saying according to what we decided and what we agreed upon, we have exclusivity rights for the whole range of the Martha Stewart products and mar is that is saying, no you really dont and im here to contract with jcpenney for some of the other items i manufacture or license. Macys said they took a big chance on Martha Stewart where they invested in her right after she got out of jail. My question is why cant she be lie a ralph lauren where we can buy them in any store . The answer to the question is what did we agree to. Youre right. Macys says we took a risk. There should be loyalty. We feel betrayed. The argument is we contracted to keep it all with just macys even though she may not like the deal shes contract with somebody else. Martha stewart says no the stuff were doing, its outside. How the r the Martha Stewart companies doing . Thats one of the problems. Theyre not doing well at all. Loss over the last five years and macys claiming youre trying to get out of this contract because youre looking to make more money with jc penney then you claim youre making with us. Maybe the deal is better. A t better deal is always good for one person but not for the person Getting Better deals. It always comes down to the lawyers. Jack ford thank you. Health officials are warning of what they call nightmare bacteria. Deadly bugs are spreading through the u. S. Hospitals. This is a very serious story, so were going to talk to the cdc. Its the smallest apartment in the [ jen garner ] what skincare brand is so effective. So trusted. So clinically proven dermatologists recommend it twice as much as any other brand . Neutrogena®. Recommended by dermatologists 2 times more than any other brand. Now thats beautiful. Neutrogena®. Ever since mom and dad have been working with viva, people have been daring them to clean up tough messes. My fans think a paper towel cant handle this. That is tough when wet. [ peggy ] grab viva and break the rules on all your tough messes. It took years to build this business. The moment my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis started getting in the way that was it. It was time for a serious talk with my dermatologist. This time, he 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. Of heart. Limited told paper, sweat, almost no privacy. In other words basically carnival cruise. Yeah. Steve colbert has great writers. Absolutely. Hes a very smart man. Turning to something people are talking about, deadly super bugs are spreading in hospitals and other Health Care Facilities across the country. The socalled nightmare bacteria officially known by the name of cre has been found in 42 states. Theyre resistant to even the strongest antibodies, killing the patient whose blood is infected. Good morning. Good morning. Why do you call this a nightmare bacteria . Its basically a triple threat. First, its resis tanlt to most antibodies, secondly it spends between patients and bacteria and third it kills up to almost half the people who get serious infection with it. How is it spread . Its spread from person to person because Health Care Workers havent decontaminated the bed or equipment or washed their hands prop literature. They have a program called detect and protect which can stop it from spreading. So youre really concerned because of the question about whether this is treatable or not, right . Yeah. Unfortunately for some patients you know we sometimes talk about a preantibiotic era and an antibiotic era, in this case we have a post. We have created our last line of defense. Thats a terrible problem. And if it spreads more widely it will be even more severe. Who is most at risk . Patients who are in the hospital, who are getti getting procedures or maybe in longterm facilities with ventilators in patients who are ill at this point are the ones who are getting it. It hasnt yet spread into the community. Thats why were saying take steps now. We have a window of opportunity to stop this before it becomes more widespread. So you think this is on the responsibility of hospitals and those institutions to prevent this. Theres smog that everyone can do. But furnld mentally at this point, hospital doctors, Health Care Workers need to taket very seriously and implement the detect and protect strategy and find cases and stop them before they spread. Because its going to be much easier to prevent this from spreading than to try to treat it what a night its been. The storm clouds have return. Winter is back in the bay area. A lot of clouds in our skies this morning. Couple of sunny breaks in between. The winds are blowing, howling overnight. Still have scattered showers outside on our highdef Doppler Radar. The main cold front is gone. Now we are going to see more scattered showers on and off throughout the day. You will see some of those north of santa rosa. Out near the coastline at bodega bay.

First heres a look at todays eye opener at 8 00. This is the biggest snowstorm theyve had in this region in more than two years. A huge storm is dumping snow on the Nations Capital and midatlantic. The storm is expected to hit virginia and washington especially hard. Officials announced that they would be closing all d. C. Area federal offices today. The dow opened at a record high. The stock index has recovered all of the losses it suffered in the Great Recession despite government gridlock high unemployment and rising gas prices. This is the most sedate reaction on wall street ive seen to a record high. Theres still a lot of skeptics out there. Small folding knives passengers will soon be able to take golf clubs, ski clubs, lacrosse sticks. And those items simply cant be used to hijack airplanes. A church that measures its history does not move quickly. The cardinals have said they have a lot to discuss even before they get around to filling the worlds most famous job they can see. Break the rules or the law he or she is disciplined and in rare cases, but fire but often that is not the end of the story. Martha stewart was back in court yesterday, this time defending her professional reputation. Even though she might not like the deal. How bad is the storm going to get . Norah its going to be very tricky. Being called the snowquester. Yeah democrats say it could be ten inches. Republicans want it cut down to two. Im charlie rose with gayle king and norah odonnell. Gae gayle is back and im excited to hear her stories. Im fatter and darker. No stories. You look gorgeous. The federal government in washington is taking a snow day. The winter storm that dumped several inches from north dakota to ohio is hitting the Nations Capital. Airlines have canceled more than 1,000 flights in the northeast and midatlantic. And chip reid is in snowy leesburg, virginia in the western suburbs of washington. Chip, good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie, norah and gayle. As you can see, its really coming down here in virginia. This is the biggest snowstorm theyve had in more than two years, just a few inches so far, but theyre expecting a foot of snow. About an hour east of here in washington, d. C. Not as much snow, but they closed the federal government. They also closed the schools in washington and in the surrounding suburbs. But the big worry is power. More than 100,000 homes and businesses in Northern Virginia have already lost power. This early in the storm. And heres why. This snow is incredibly wet and heavy. Perfect for making snowballs. But its also perfect for weighing down on power lines, and its probably going to bring down a lot of trees. They have an armada of power trucks standing by to deal with the situation, to try to limit the number of people who lose power. Charlie, norah and gayle . Thank you chip. Lets check in with david bernard. Dave, wheres the storm going now . Gayle, the worst of the snow is right where chip is. If we look at our radar, the rain snow line is straddling the i95 corridor still mixing with rain and snow from baltimore to d. C. North and west of there, its heavy snow. And thats where the worst of its likely to be. 6 to 12 in the baltimore, d. C. Area. Over a foot west of there in the mountains. And then another maximum in southeastern new england that could see 6 to 12 inches of snow there. Were also concerned about coastal flooding particularly along the jersey shore through tonight and into tomorrow morning. Charlie, norah and gayle, back to you. David thank you. Starting next month, Airline Passengers will be allowed to carry small pocketknives and certain Sports Equipment on board. The tsa decision reverses a ban put in effect after the september 11th attacks. Flight attendants unions warn it will put their passengers and members at risk. Cbs news travel editor Peter Greenberg is with us. Peter, i begin with this question. Why are the Flight Attendants so upset . Well you know since 9 11 the kwok pit doors been secured, charlie, but the real question for polite attendants its not about terrorism. Its about safety in the air. Theyre worried about drunk passengers with golf clubs swinging around a 9 iron at 35,000 feet. Not a pleasant thought for them. And they think theyve got their hands full already with passengers who misbehave. This is what they didnt want to have happen. So if the Flight Attendants are concerned, why would they put the policy in place . Shouldnt the Flight Attendants have some say . Very few people were briefed on this. Even the airlines said they were only briefed right before the tsa announced it. The airlines issued a statement saying they support the decision. It may be well intentioned but the problem, its going to start a lot of confusion. When you look at rules starting next month you can bring a knife on the plane less than 2. 3 inches in length. So does that mean you have to bring your own micrometer with you to the airport . The second its not just golf clubs. Theyre letting you bring two clubs on the plane. As one Flight Attendant said to me, whats the second golf club for . Backup . Theres a lot of anger right now among Flight Attendants. Peter, what does this mean do you think, for the security lines that we all go through . Well the intention here was to make the security lines go faster. So people wouldnt have to take all that stuff out. Initially i think its going to cause even more confusion. I think its going to stop the lines rather than start them. Down the road perhaps theyll figure this out. If you take a look at the new regulations, they actually specify in great detail the knives that you can bring and the ones you cant. Box cutters are not allowed, razor blades are not allowed. But not everybody is going to get the memo. One time i had to return contact lens solution because that did not meet the requirements. Now you can bring a hockey stick. Now i can bring a hockey stick. What are the airlines saying . Theyre supporting it because they have no choice. They go along with what the tsa says. Remember the airlines are at the gates. Theyre all in favor of getting an ontime departure. Once again, whats inside that cabin at 35,000 feet is whats worrying flied taentants. Theyve got enough to worry about without somebody with a lacrosse stick on the way to the bahamas. A new study finds the power of positive thinking might improve your cholesterol. Research in the american journal of cardiology looks at 1,000 middleaged americans. It shows people who felt good about life had more good cholesterol. Researchers say these positivethinking people also tend to have a healthy body weight and eat a better diet. Youre looking at me miss lipitor. Maybe i need to do something about that. Im looking at you more like the power of positive thinking which i think you believe in as well. Okay. I just up it had to 20 milligrams. Things are looking up at the vatican where Officials Say the last of the cardinals are on their way to elect the next pope. The colleagues met again this morning. They could not set a date to begin the conclave until all voting members are there. Meanwhile, were seeing the first pictures of the pope emeritus published by the same italian gossip magazine. Remember this . That ran topless photos of prince williams wife, kate. Dennis rodman is being criticized for his trip to north korea. Nba commissioner david stern for an upcoming 60 minutes story on point guard jeremy lin. Former nba star Dennis Rodman in north korea does what so many diplomats and visitors to north korea have wanted to do, meet the man in charge. What do you think of this . I think its ridiculous. I think that i think that if youre going to meet someone with the record on human rights and Nuclear Testing in a reckless way and counterfeiting u. S. Dollars and exporting a horrible brand of whatever it is that hes exploiting and starving his people and locking them up it should be done only in conjunction with the state department with an agenda if not, he shouldnt go. Well i mean did he know he was going to meet him when he went over there . No. But then it was the burden of somebody to try to educate dennis a little bit so he doesnt come back and say the dude is really cool. His father was great. The president should talk to him. His grandfather was great. Then really why doesnt the president just give him a buzz . David stern. Yesterday. Here in studio 57 nba hall of famer shaq told us quote, i think certain people should leave diplomacy to diplomats. The commissioner certainly put it in perspective, didnt he . As did shaq. You missed shaq yesterday. He was here in the studio . Yeah. The big man, even picked charlie up, had him in his arms. I like him so much. He came to play. I dont know if you heard about this, but jon stewart will be off the daily show in 12 weeks starting in june. The news quickly reported by his colleague, stephen colbert. Our other breaking story tonight,ght, jon stewart has announced he will be taking the summer off from the daily show. [ boos ] we wish him all the best in his new project, ruling the country of venezuela. [ cheers and applause ] stewart is actually going to direct a movie about a reporter who was arrested and jailed in iran while covering the countrys 2009 president ial election. Good for jon stewart. Yeah. Take the whole summer off, but hes still working on this new project. Shall we tell him wed like him to come here . Jon stewart, we want you. What do you think, gayle, should we take the summer off and direct a movie . I am so game, norah. You know people. Special goggles can help you survive a stroke. Well show you the cuttingedge technology. Plus, the harlem shake. A dance anybody can do has now been watched over 700 million times online. Why do some things get so popular so quickly . Thats charlies favorite move. Well leave i was thinking the same thing. Charlies face was, like, what is that . Ahead on cbs this morning. Am i interrupting something . Another viva dare. Our fans think theres a rule that a paper towel cant handle this. Fans . Now thats tough when wet. [ peggy ] grab viva and break the rules on all your tough messes. This is what they do for fun. Tomorrow on cbs this morning, its the image youve seen around the world. A man surfing what may have been a 100foothigh wave. Youre going to meet the man who went on that wild ride. Surfer Garrett Mcnamara joins us for his first live network interview. Thats tomorrow on cbs this morning. Cant wait to meet him. Testing for strokes can be inaccurate and expensive but a new device may offer a better cheaper alternative and save tens of thousands of lives every year. Dr. David newman tauper is leading the study. Hes associate professor of neurology at the Johns Hopkins school of medicine. Good morning. Good morning. Is this as important and cool as this sounds . I believe it really is. Were going to be able to diagnose more patients with strokes, deliver more prompt treatment, and save lives. How . So, these are the goggles. They look more or less like a pair of swim goggles with an infrared video camera attached that by a cord goes to a laptop computer. They measure eye movement. And the eye movements when patients present with strokes in the back of the brain, about 1 out of every 4 strokes, they present with dizziness and vertigo and we can tell from tear eye movement whether theyve had a stroke or a benign inner ear condition. And we can do it quickly and easily. Do you have to have immediately had a stroke . These work best in the acute stage so well have patients coming into the Emergency Department with new symptoms but thats a lot of people. Were talking about 4 Million People a year coming into the Emergency Department with dizziness and those symptoms and only about 5 of them str strokes but finding them is important. Is it possible we can use this in the future to detect if youre likely to have a stroke . I think thats less likely to be able to predict far in advance, but whats great about this is it can potentially detect people having early minor strokes before they become serious, and thats really the opportunity to intervene. So you say this is more accurate than an mri. But if i look at these glasses, i have to say this looks a little rinkydink. I mean really . How is this more effective than an mri . So the what the goggles do is theyre measuring physiology measuring the state of how the brain is working. That changes immediately in the middle of a stroke when theres lack of blood flow to the brain, immediately the eye movements change. It takes a little bit of time before the structure of the brain starts to change from the stroke. Thats actually the winl doe of opportunity to intervene. So it takes hours for the mri, actually a couple days for the mri to really show up the stroke some of the time. Weve seen false negatives out to two days. My understanding, am i wrong, that if you can get to the hospital within the first three hours of a stroke you can ameliorate some of the difficulties that come from it . Thats correct. So clotbusting drugs have been used to about 4 1 2 hours after a stroke. And this is an opportunity for us to intervene in patients with new early strokes. Weve put these on people as early as an hour or two after the start. Okay. May look rinkydink but it also looks painless. Painless and easy. No needles. Thank you, doctor.

And if you are heading towards the bay bridge we have had a busy morning commute stacked up through the maze. A couple of stalls, high wind advisory has been canceled, however. That is traffic. For your forecast, heres lawrence. How about that weather around the bay area today. Some wintry weather overnight and cold front moving through. Some strong gusty winds and heavy rain. Now the sky is broken outside right now. But theres still some showers showing up outside and in fact our highdef Doppler Radar is picking up on some of the rain focused in the north bay. We are seeing some showers there and into the east bay we are also beginning to see a couple of popups with showers showing near moraga now. More showers throughout the day today. We could see some thunderstorms as we head in toward tomorrow. A slight chance of a few leftover showers early on friday morning but the weekend looking good, 70s next week. You recognize that voice. Coming up this half hour on cbs this morning, its the dance you cannot escape. How do things like the harlem shake catch fire so fast . Well show you what makes the song or any other cob tanchs. Hes an Award Winning grammy winner Michael Bolton taking on motown. Hes here at studio 57 and talking about that and his new found claim playing jack pair rowe. Women in politics. Right now women make up only 18 of the 535 seats in congress. A veriry jarnt is an aid to president obama. Condoleezza rice served under president bush and lesley stahl is a white house chief correspondent and on 60 minutes. You know, i want to talk about this because women have been going to college at the same rate as men for 30 years now. We talked yesterday about the lack of women at the top in business and now lets talk about sort of politics. So valerie, what do you think it is . Do you think its institutional barriers or Women Holding themselves back and running for office . Its a range of issues. We have to find women supporting other women. I think you have to have men in leadership roles. One of the reasons president obama has been so effective is hes surrounded himself and n key positions in the white house and key positions women the white house which we know is a powerful position. So not to mention the two women on the supreme court, and so i think hes try dog what he can to include them. I think hes doing his part to try to do it. He said we would not have the gridlock we have in washington if we had more women in congress. You know, valley. People say of any administration, president obama, a liberal democrat there are more Democratic Women and that republican. There should be equality in the white house. Why isnt that the case . There is equality in the white house. If you look at the appointments he hes made, theres definitely quality. And he thinks the decisionmaking is bet when you have a Diverse Group of people around you and thats what hes done and so hes led by example. Theres a funny anecdote by a Harvard Business professor. They said what can men do that would help. She said the laundry. That would help. When you look at it. Konz rierks kond condoleeza rice what do you think . I think the numbers are better. If you look at the senate we have new women in senate. If you look at the fact that the last three of the five are in fact women so things are Getting Better, but, you know, i see it in the classroom, even at a place like stanford. Its very important that women feel they are fully accepted in the workplace and that women put themselves out there. I found when i was a young specialist in International Security had i been waiting for a female black associate yet specialist role model, i would still be waiting. And indeed the people who advocated for my career were white men. In fact, they were old white men because they dominated the field. I thought we were hearing things have been Getting Better for such a long time. Yes they are. There are still barriers. We still have gender definition. When one woman walks into the a room people see certain aspects. My good friend the late sally ride talks about if a woman puts herself forward in science and math theres a sense shes not quite ready, so its a combination. Its women putting themselves for it. Leslie, youve had a front row seat in history. Interviewing some of the most powerful people in the world. Whats your take on why women have not reached the top lever in proportion gnat numbate numbers, if you will. If you step back the gains are astronomical. Thigher astonishing what theyve accomplished. I was thinking of the big companies, yahoo lockd martin. We have many women running companies. We have many women at the pinnacle almost of power. These two women that you have this morn havinging have been at the decisionmaking level, which is huge. Think this is a huge coup to have the two of these women sitting here. We do too. We do too. Helping make decisions at the very top. Its huge whats happened. And yet when youre living it it feels so slow. Listen. The numbering out of the 539 seats, thats only 18 . It is slow. Its one of the great revolutions of our lifetime. Its huge what happened in the late 20th century. But im sitting here. I think theres two questions. One is why arent more women being elected and what would happen if they got there . Would there be this gridlock . Absolutely not. And why do you think what is it about women that you think there wouldnt be gridlock . I think they strive for consensus, they collaborate better they dont mind compromising. They agree. To a certain extent. But i think you have to have the whole set of tools in your toolbox. Sometimes you have to build consensus and sometimes you have to say no were doing this differently and have to be tough. Women need to have the whole toolbox. Tougher . All three of you, when they talk about women, its hard to be competent and liked at the same time. With you valerie, youve been described as tenacious and strong. Condi rice tenacious and ruth ruthless and youve been described as tenacious and a bulldog. I do think women are different from men, and i think that this wanting to be liked is something thats holding younger women back. Its going back to college. Yes. Everyone wants to be liked. Men just hide it better that they want to be liked. But when you enter a position of power, you want to be respected and every woman should understand that from the youngest woman to the most senior. The key is to be respected. Were interviewing carsheryl sandberg. You mentioned that i should speak with her. In her book she says its positively correlated for women, more negatively for women. The more powerful the less shes liked. Do you believe iowaagree with that . I think you need to work on respect. You have to start with being respected. And that means, though that you do treat people well and i think if do you both that is to your benefit. What would you tell women today that you wish someone had told you back when you were starting. Condi condi condi . I wish somebody would tell me my own sense of unease on whether i belonged was shared by everybody in the room even my male colleagues but they hid it better, they covered, not to be afraid to put yourself out there. I tell young women if you get to the place you are and someone treats you badly because youre a woman, its your fault, not theirs. You have plenty of quivers in your bag. Find someone with cues. Its unnerving particularly if you find yourself in a field thats maledominated. You cant let the fear of failure stop you from trying and i think so many times women are waiting to be given permission. You cant do that. You have to put yourself out there. You have to have a tough skin. You have to be able to accept rejection and get back up and get in the game. I have to add one thing. This bounces off sheryls point. Thats the obligation of mother deciding whether to have a family or not. Mothers need to tell their daughters they can do it all. Not at the same time sometimes. Why not . Well i think life is full of tradeoffs and you cant necessarily do everything at one time. I think about the job i have at the white house. It would be really hard for me to do that when my daughter was young. Did you ever stop working . I never stopped working but i had jobs that accepted my responsibility and i altered my work stile depending on how old my daughter was. Did your mother make you feel ashamed . No, my mother always worked. My mother always worked too. The sequencing is very important. And its not just around family. They say, why did you not get married . I said because u never found anybody i wanted to live with. Its hard out there. It is hard out there. The key is there is some sequencing in life. There will be times you have to focus and do something in a very hard way. There are other times in life when perhaps you can step back and do other things and i tell my students again at stanford life is long dont think you have to do it all at once. I keep thinking the older i get there are no absolutes in this question. I love madeleine albrights. There are places in hell for women who dont help other women. Agreement on the table. Thank you so much for being here. And our eyeopening womens series continues tomorrow with the foup der of angies list angie hicks and Caroline Kennedy is here on cbs this morning.

Michael boltons career has spanned more than decades with plenty of twists and turns along the way. Before he was a soft rock icon how can we be lovers if we cant be friends before you recognize those romantic ballads. That voice. That hair. Michael bolton was a hard rocker who dropped out of high school for a record deal at just 16. Success first came writing songs for other performers like cher, Barbra Streisand and laura brannigans 1983 number one hit. Tell me how am i supposed to live without you but it wasnt until Michael Bolton began singing his own love song, that he found fame, selling more than 53 million albums worldwide and winning two grammys. Hes now back in the spotlight once again. From competing on dancing with the stars, to stealing the show in a saturday night live digital short that now has more than 100 million youtube views. And last year he made peoples sexiest man alive list. Today bolton has reinvented himself once again, paying homage to the hits of motown on his latest album. Michael boltons new motown album is called aint no Mountain High enough. Its a tribute to hitsville u. S. A. And he joins us at the table. Hello mike ol bolton. What a career when you look at the video of your life. Ten decades. Its amazing. Tina turner once said when she first met you tina turner said, hey, i thought you were a brother. A lot of people thought you were a black guy until they saw you. Which is a great compliment. When i would do, the you know, the essence awards or b. E. T. , i was the only white guy basically there, which again was a great compliment because my music was being accepted and embraced. As a kid i was listening to marvin gaye and ray charles and these great artists who influenced me. Its great affirmation, you know. Your new album is a collection of motown classics. What are some of the songs on there . Dedicated to hitsville. Aint no Mountain High enough, could be hanging on. Signed, sealed, delivered. Always a good one. Music i loved as a kid. I would say its music i grew up to, but i didnt grow up. Youve always that raspy distinct voice. They say your voice is distinct but it took you 18 years to finally get you the hit you wanted for so long while youre writing for other people. Was that frustrating for you . Well the whole ride was i mean there were times frustrating was not at the word but i committed to my career when i was just turning 16 when people in the record industry said, you got it, you need to stay at it. That allowed my parents stand behind me. Theyre seeing something, so they said go all in. 18 years later i finally had my first hit. Did you always want to be a vocalist or did you simply evolve from being a songwriter . It was always a singer first. And even when i became a songwriter and started writing for other people it was my voice that i was using to create the songs and in the studio what i loved about writing id write it musically and walk up to the microphone and breathe the life into it the storytelling part of it the emotional part of is singing. If i had one choice, the singer is first. The songwriting career came by accident so i could feed my family. Food is good. It is very good. It wouldnt be sexy grandpa . Some people use that term. You were on the sexiest list. Theyre being kind to me. They dont know how old i am. They have an idea of how old you are. You say your daughters got a kick out of it. They dont if they roll their eyes. You posed for that picture. Come on, michael. What are you trying to show us there . I had the shirt on for a week and i couldnt get it off. I kept ripping it or tearing it. Why did they choose that one . Michael, the thing is your hair. In your book, its a teeny paragraph, page 275 is when we finally get to it. When your hair was such a trademark. Was it a big decision, hard decision to make the cut because i was worried how you were going to look without the hair. So was i. Theres no turning back. You know how they sold me, is the guy who cut tom cruise and brad pitts hair is the guy who came to my hotel to cut my hair. So i figured how bad would i be. The next morning i did not know look like either one of them. Did you know the guys name . Very well known. He does jennifer anistons. How bad could it be. But i knew i made the right decision. Its worked out for you. Michael bolton, thank you so much. His new album is aint no Mountain High enough and new memoir. Theyre both out now. Well see how harlem shakes, anybody can do that move. Coming up next on cbs this morning. Do that two months ago most people hadnt heard of the harlem shake. Now more than 250,000 versions of the dance tune have been posted online.

You remember rebecca. Friday, friday you remember. Why do they become popular . They say they hate the song tight worst song ever but why do people look at it. Every fried its like a reminder for people to look at it and share. Is it social media or word to mouth . Its not social media. Its only about actually 7 is online. Jonah berger thank you so much.
