"usa today" sports columnist nancy armoire says the sheer number of irregular balls is no accident. >> bill belichick oversees everything. nobody sneezes in that building without him knowing about it. if something was done, you can be sure he had something to do with it. >> reporter: when asked about the controversy, andrew luck the colts' quarterback on the losing end of sushld's 45-7 loss could only respond with -- >> the energy's sucked out of you. you do feel deflated. >> reporter: former patriots' tight end and sports radio host christian fortier thinks it's being blown out of proportion. >> was it deflated on purpose in was there miscommunication on the handling of the balls? some have all admitted to modifying balls in some way. and seattle seahawks who will see the patriots don't think deflategate will have any effect on the game. >> if it affects the rules, it affects the rules, but nothing's going to happen. they're going to play this game. whatever they did, the risk reward is greater. >> the nfl has declined to comment on any of its findings so far, but it's mounting on them. gayle, if this is still the topic that everyone is talking about, the nfl risks having a scandal overshadow its marquis event. >> they'll be talking about that too. thank you, anna very much. a massive winter storm that threatens the northeast this weekend is already dumping snow on parts of the south this morning. the system is moving across areas of new mexico texas, and oklahoma. many drivers as you see are struggling to gain traction on snow-covered roads in texas. so far there is up to a foot in snow in amarillo. meteorologist megan glaros of our cbs affiliate wbbm is reporting. good morning. >> reporter: more than new york city and boston has seen combined. winter storm warnings posted from new mexico and oklahoma and texas. we expect to see an additional several inches of snow that will top a foot in parts of new mexico, texas, oklahoma and even southern colorado. as that storm system progresses eastward it become as major rainmaker across parts of the deep south. that will be the issue for them, potential flooding. but then as it's merges over the open waters of the atlantic and begins to ride the coastline it become as what we call a nor'easter. the track is a little unconcerning that time but it looks like there will be major snow this weekend. >> megan, thank you. they say there's going to be a lot of snow this weekend. look at this. smoke still billowing from a fire at a new jersey complex. firefighters have been battling it for some 14 hours after it started. that's about a mile outside new york city. i can see this fire from my own apartment which is across the hudson river and more than 400 people are without a home this morning. no one is seriously hurt. there was a fire at the same complex about 14 years ago when it was under construction. it's really -- considering the size of that it's amazing no one has been hurt. this morning john boehner is on a collision course. the speaker's also under fire for reaching out directly to israel's prime minister. margaret brennan is at the state department. margaret, good morning. >> good morning. well, a fight over how to stop iran's nuclear program is heating up. just as president obama asked congress to hold their fire and threatened to veto any new sanctions bill. when speaker boehner was asked by his colleagues if he'd back down from the president's veto threat he reportedly said hell no. boehner took the rare move of personally inviting benjamin netanyahu to talk about iran without consulting with president obama. >> i don't believe i'm poking anyone in the eye. there is a serious threat that exists in the world, and the president last night kind of papered over it. >> the white house called the invite a departure from protocol. heads of state usually speak directly with each other. but president obama's decision to negotiate with iran is a contentious issue in his often tense relationship with president netanyahu. he wants more pressure on tehran and to halt funding to terror groups, but secretary of state kerry warned congress adding new sanctions would blow apart the international alliance against iran. >> if all of our partners were to say, well we don't think you're going the right way, we're going to go do our own thing, this could all fall apart including the sanctions regime. you lose the sanctions altogether. >> yet even some democrats are defining the white house. robert menendez told officials they're too eager to make a deal. >> it seems we're allowing iran to shuffle the deck and deal the negotiations and playing dealer's choice. frankly, that's not enough. >> congress wants a final deal but the white house believes it has the power to broker it without them. so, gayle, while the two sides are bickering, american and iranian negotiators will meet again this friday. >> all right. margaret, we thank you. the white police officer who killed an unarmed black man in ferguson, missouri, is not expected to face federal charges. law enforcement sources say the fbi found no evidence that darren wilson broke any civil rights laws. wilson left the ferguson police department last year after a local grand jury decided not to charge him for shooting michael brown. ferguson erupted in days of protest and violence after that grand jury ruling. >> another police shooting is sparking outrage this morning, and this one was all caught on video. dash cam footage shows the moment two officers shot and killed a man during a traffic stop in southern new jersey. michelle miller is with us and there's some question as to whether the gunfire was necessary. good morning. >> good morning. the traffic stop happened three weeks ago but bridgeton police released the video on tuesday in response to a public open response from a newspaper. officer braheme days who's black and another officer stopped a car for failing to stop at a stop sign. he approaches the passenger on the passenger side. officers can be heard saying there's a gun in the glove boxx. >> keep your [ expletive ] right there. a few seconds later he appears to get out of the car, his arms appear to be at his chest and both officers fire several shots. reid and the driver of the car had several convictions on their record. reid is convicted of shooting at police. it's not clear how officers knew his name or what was happening inside the car. the kelly prosecutor is currently investigating the incident and they're working toward a fair and impartial process. but community activists have called for the state to take over the investigation. they believe ultimately the shooting could have been avoided. >> jerame reid complied with the officers, got out of the car, and he received a hail of bullets. >> the officers have been placed on leave. >> i wonder if we need to retrain people. the police officer clearly said do not move do not get out of the car. they knew there was a gun in the car. i think whenever you're in a kochb flikt with an armed police officer and you're unarmed, you are not going to win. he told him, do not move. >> we were all watching very closely. the investigation not over yet. we will keep watching. >> we will keep watching. >> a new health alert on the outbreak of measles at disney land. 49 of 66 have been traced back to the resort now. five of those are employees. this could disrupt some vacation plans. >> reporter: in an effort to get an upper hand on the measles, they're asking people who are unvaccinated to avoid the park. the disease thought to have been eliminated 15 years ago is quickly spreading among those not immunized. >> i would be nervous for them coming doubtwn here to the happiest place on earth and not knowing what they're going to go it could be worrisome. >> she's worried about the interaction with guests. >> there's lots of touching with everyone and it's easily spread. i'm a little frightened because obviously i don't want to get it. >> reporter: disney is offering to test employees and provide for vaccines. health officials have released information on 34 of the patient patients. 29 were not vaccinated. five were up to date on their shots and while the shot 197% effective, they say the immunity of adults might be compromised if you were vaccinated before 1971. if you're unsure about your immunity immunity doctors suggest you get a simple blood test. doctors say those who skip shots should be aware of the risks. >> it's not just a rash. it has serious, serious complications. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," carter evans, los angeles. this morning a big name in comedy says we should seriously listen to bill cosby's accusers. former tonight show host jay leno is backing the women who claim cosby sexually assaulted them. another member of the cosby family is also speaking out. jer rye jericka duncan is here with more. >> whoopi gold berke, jerry seinfeld and chris rock have all expressed their opinions and, remember, three months it is was video of kmeen callahan i ball burris who spoke of the fallout. jay leno was asked about the sexual allegations against bill cosby. >> i don't know why it's so hard to believe women. i mean you know you go to saudi arabia and you need two women to testify against a man. here you need 25. >> reporter: leno also referenced these comments. made by hannibal burris as the way information is often now shared, unedited and online. >> because somebody just filmed it and put it out there. you're getting your news wrong and unfiltered which i think is fantastic. >> stephen colbert's successor on comedy central larry has more. >> is it because he's so famous or because they're women. >> reporter: they have alleged they were assaulted, drugged, or raped by the comedian in the 1970s. he broke his own silence in a billboard magazine. just as it's painful to hear any woman talk about sexual assault whether true or not, it's just as painful to watch my friend and mentor go through this. the bill cosby i know has been great to me and great for a lot of people. i can't speak on the other stuff.

>> a number have come out against this paper. basically they're saying what happens in the lab doesn't necessarily happen in real life and even though they heated up the vapor to a very high volt and in the lab, real-life e-cigarette users wouldn't have do that. the vapor would taste terrible it would your heat their disease and they would not enjoy smoking. >> they're saying you have to crank up the e-cigarette in some way that most e-cigarettes you can't even do it with to achieve these levels. >> exactly, yeah. they used a specifically high-powered ee seg rhett called a tank system and so most people wouldn't be exposed in that way. >> when are people going to know? >> theoretically they are safer. we know the real harm isn't the nicotine. it's the 4,000 chemicals, 60 of which are carcinogen that comes from burning tobacco. e-cigarettes don't burn tobacco, so they should be safer. but, as you see today, the jury is still out on that. >> thanks very much. up next see what this man can teach the about waking up from a coma. the unprecedented research coming up this morning. you'll see it first on "cbs this morning." when the flu hits, it's a really big deal. the aches. the chills. the fever. an even bigger deal?

>> yes, it does violate privacy, but not the law. the law itself is fine. >> what is the law? >> the law is the fact that we're going to look at cyber bullying that happens on school premises and off school premises. the intent of the law is clear, the governors, i give them an a-plus. but it's the school's interpretation of the law that's the problem. no school district has the right to be able to have teachers look into that private world of someone without their permission. >> but they're minors. >> of course they're minors. the parent is the only person in that precious relationship of a parent and a child that has the right to have unfettered access. >> let me challenge you because doesn't our legal system allow not only in the case of minors but when you're doing harm to another person that you lose some of your rights to privacy. >> so this is how we should do this. we have to have an easier remedy a less restrictive -- less restrictive means, and that's what the lawyers would say. let me put this in english. if a teacher believes that there is cyber bullying going on, we want to stop cyber bullying there are other remedies. we call in the students. we call in the parents. ultimately we call in a police officer. the police officer has the power to get a warrant. the police officer can't go rifle through someone's mobile device or computer. so we certainly can't have teachers having more power than cops. >> we've got to to roll here rikki, but is there precedence in other states? has this happened? >> what happened in other states is we have looked at it in other ways. what's happened is we also make sure employers, universities cannot get underneath to be able to get to someone's passwords. we need a bigger threshold. >> rickykki klieman, thank you very much. this morning a sticky goo is killing hundreds of birds along a california shore. they've ruled out oil as the culprit. >> reporter: acologne the eastern shore of san francisco bay rescuers have found hundreds of seabirds coated in the mysterious sticky goo. they know it's not the usual suspect, an oil spill, but it's still darjs. >> this is a true mystery. it has the consistency and the feel of rubber cement. >> it sticks to feathers ruining the bird'shypothermia. more than 200 birds have been found dead. more than 300 others have being treated by volunteers at the wildlife organization international bird rescue. it has a long history of saving birds caught in oil spills but this is different. this is more difficult to get off than oil. >> it is. we have helped to manage oil spill events and other emergency events around the world but this is a very difficult product very the usual treatment for cleaning up oil-covered birds is dawn dishwashing detergent, but the stick j stub stance on these birds needs more. >> we're having to soften it if you will with first baking soda into the feathers and then taking that off with some household vinegar. >> baking sew darks vinegar. >> and dawn. >> and toothbrushes. >> and took brusheses. we use the tush brushes around the eyes and mouth and delicate areas. >> they've joined state life wildlife scientists to fry to find out what the substance is. so far, no luck. >> it's devastating. we think california is clean beautiful, we value our wildlife, value our nature. >> value it so much that international bird rescue says it's spending about $8,000 a day cleaning the birds and nursing them back to health. for "cbs this morning," john blackstone, fairfield, california. >> it's nice to see that somebody's helping them. it's so sad to see people -- creatures in helpless conditions. and on "cbs this morning," where's the beef is not just an old commercial line. it's now a legit question now that a brisket shortage is all right. is it healthy to eat the same things every day?

the end stops producing the part because the car is so old, even the dealer is going to have a hard time. >> you can negotiate? >> you can. the best way is to get two estimates. go to two shops and play them again with each other. if you show up at the end and they give you a bill you don't have any recourse. if you come in and say somebody else charged me x for this and somebody's charging me x minus 10, i want to do that. >> they say the price with such authority and it never occurs to me and i like to bargain, can i have x amount off. >> i had a mechanic tell me it took $2,100. i took it

area, of wilmington sidewalks, cleared, the road is fine but we have seen kids going to school with no problem whatsoever but just know in this many area that are less urban then this you are likely to find walking in the roads because sidewalks are covered in all that snow and trucks have not been out in their neighborhoods on these side streets. so depending on where you are it is a whole

>> this is tough. it's not one of those that satisfies anyone. i used to say you didn't have to have a different password for every website. that's not true. you do need a different password for everything. it's important. i think it's best to come together with a phrase. don't use this as an example, but take the first letter of the website you're going to and put a number you remember. >> here's something i think works. let's say it's january 22 2015 and for amazon do amjan222015 and the letters and pottery barn, pb. use the same date and put the first two letters. amazon pottery barn, whatever the things you use. >> so every password is unique but they're related to each other and you're probably going remember them. >> that's a good idea and you think you have to have letters and numbers. >> they usually require that. they usually require a combination of upper case lower case symbol. it's getting to the point where it's not sustainable. >> evendon't you do online banging?

>> i don't use them personally. i know a lot of people who like them. you're putting them at a single point of potential failure and if you move around to different machines phones laptops, desktops it's kind of hard to keep track of that. i think the for la is a little more personal. we're going to have to turn to something like biometrics eventually to get rid of passwords. >> i like norah's idea or a phrase. >> finger prints. >> "cbs this morning" 2013 when our show started an then put whatever letters you have beforehand. >> don't use that one because she said it. >> dan ackerman, thank you very much. barbecue lovers are facing a shortage of brisket. they cooked up 14 tons this weekend for the governor's inauguration party but we're shown why the popularity comes at a bad time. >> reporter: customers line up at fargo's pit barbecue for a plateful of top graded biscuit. belinda wells has been seving for 15 years. business is good but the restaurant's co-owner is facing a new challenge. a dramatic spike in the cost of beef. what did you first think when you heard prices were going up like this?
