direction of that neighborhood, concerns building over the past few days, heightened this morning that this may be preparations for some syrian army onslaught into that neighborhood that's held out against syrian authorities for so long now. in a different part of the country, i think people in damascus still try to digest the consequences, ramifications of yesterday's protests, shot upon by syrian security forces. originally a funeral it turned into a protest and then scenes around the neighborhood where frankly the presidential palace is nearby, many other ministries as well, i think this may have caused some to feel greater disquiet. the capital normally more loyal towards the regime but after 11 months of economic disruption, the country frankly at a standstill as this conflict violently plays out in many areas and, perhaps, these protests may finally have an impact on the psyche of residents living in that vital area for the syrian regime in

so as quickly as new jersey lawmakers passed a same-sex marriage bill, late last week,

governor chris christie delivered on his promise and vetoed its next day. christie says he wants to put the issue before new jersey voters instead. he explained his opposition to the proposal in this statement issued last month. >> i think this is not an issue that should rest solely in my hands and the hands of the senate president or speaker or other 118 members of the legislature. let's let the people of new jersey decide what's right for the state. let's put the question of same-sex marriage on the ballot this fall in the hands of the people, the time when most people will be voting in the presidential election year. >> two new jersey lawmakers join me now. steve is the democratic president of the new jersey senate. good to see you. he favors the same sengs marriage bill. john is the republican minority leader who supports governor's christie for a vote. why don't you better explain why

the governor is taking this hard stand against it when the majority of the general assembly voted in favor of it. >> i don't think it's a hard stand. the governor is against same-sex marriage but he's willing to allow the people to vote. that's actually a compromised position that makes sense. keep in mind, democrats voted against the same-sex marriage bill and that was clear that this was not only republicans and there was not only democrats. so the democrats have some explaining to do with respect to their members. >> if recent polls show that about 54% of new jerseyans support same-sex marriage and the general assembly is voting in concert with what njen's say, why not pass this legislation that general assembly gives a thumbs up to as opposed to taking it to the general public. >> this is a major social ishlg shoo that the governor and many

legislature believe that the public should vote on. there are republicans in favor of the issue, democrats in favor of the issue but i think there's a consensus it's up to the public as a whole to vote on this issue. i think the governor's right and one thing about governor christie he tells its way it is. you know when he says he's going to do it something he does it. >> is this about politics, however? is its gop wanting to distance itself from endorsing same-sex marriage in the national office election year? >> no. because as i said, democrats both in the senate and assembly voted against this bill. it's not strictly a partisan issue. i think it's an issue of a major change in a concept that the public wants to vote on. i think 60% of new jerseyans want to vote on this issue. >> mr. sweeney, what about that then? if the majority of new jerseyans would elect same-sex marriage

why not allow it to be in the form of a referendum? >> because it's very simple. you don't put civil rights on the ballot. the majority has always denied the minority the rights when placed on a ballot. throughout history we don't do this because we know what it is. it's absolutely wrong. apparently you and others are working really hard to try in some way reverse this motion by the governor by 2014. what's the lay of the land in which to do so? look, i've spoken to several republicans and we've heard back from others they've been threatened with primaries to do an override vote against the governor. we have time. elections move past. two years ago we got 14 votes in the senate and never was even voted for the assembly. i ab stains from the bill and the day after said it was the biggest mistake i had made in

elected office. we have time. we will work very hard and by 2014 we'll have an override. >> you believe that override would take place before 2014, you would be able to get ten additional votes? >> i think we're going to have to wait to right before or after the election but we can get an override on this. i've spoken to many republicans that support this. we got elected to make decisions. when the governor cut funding for sexually abused children that didn't go on the ballot. cut funding for visually impaired children it didn't go on the ballot. we get elected to make decisions and this is a decision we have to make. >> does this not send a mixed message if what mr. sweeney is saying and people elect you to make these choices for them, why is it that the choices being made by the general assembly but now being turned to the general public to say it's on you. >> first, let me address what president sweeney said.

he indicated the last time he did not vote for this bill. there is passion on both sides of this issue. it is an issue. it's not a civil rights issue. you can see that by democrats and republicans both having the same view, at least some of them on the same side of the issue. also mentioned about governor christie cutting funding here. the problem is, i think the democrats are so concerned that chris christie is so popular that that they're trying to use this as a wedge issue even though their own democrats don't support the issue. he's so popular and effective that it kind of blur what is the democrats message is most of the time and that's why they're trying to use this issue to kind of cut down this incredibly popular governor. >> you get the last word. saying this is not an issue of civil rights. if not, what is it? >> well, how can it no, not be. when i have a certain right and allowed to do something and you're not. that's what we fought over with this country has been founded on is fairness. the governor is 1,000% wrong and if he would allow the

republicans and the legislature to vote their conscience there wouldn't be a question it would be an easy override. >> steve sweeney, joe bramnick thanks for your time. appreciate it. apple shares topped $500. wall street is closing in on 1300 and gm posts record profits quite the week. coming up, can we build on that? today is gonna be an important day for us. you ready? we wanna be our brother's keeper. what's number two we wanna do? bring it up to 90 decatherms. how bout ya, joe? let's go ahead and bring it online. attention on site, attention on site. now starting unit nine. some of the world's cleanest gas turbines are now powering some of america's biggest cities. siemens. answers. man on tv: ...rbis and 36 homers. swings at the first pitch and fouls it deep back into the stands.

months means dry skin. in this week's health for her, elizabeth cohen has tips on how you can help prevent it. >> winter can be a tough season, especially when it comes to your skin. combine the cold temperatures outside with the warm temperatures inside, and skin can begin to crack and that's not good. >> the cold weather is very difficult for us to help protect our skin because we lose nutrients, we lose moisture, there's essential oils built into our skin and out of those things are difficult to replenish during the winter. >> reporter: dry skin can lead to dermatitis which causes swelling and infection, use moisturizers when soft. avoid those with alcohol or perfumes. keep away from taking long hot baths during the winter months. >> we need to stop taking long hot showers we really like. make sure they're lukewarm water about ten minutes that's the max you want to use and make sure after the shower or bath, good

moisturizer. >> while patches of dry skin can appear anywhere it's common on the arms, hands, legs and abdomen and skin can become red and flaky. check the areas and keep them moist and if they become seriously inflamed it's goes see your doctor. with this week's health for her i'm elizabeth cohen.

getting off pretty lucky with this storm. all the moisture has been staying to your south. some of this could sneak in here but we're not looking for significant accumulations. a little difficulty for your travel. even the places near that rain and snow have low overcast conditions so that makes it it tough to navigate into the area airports. there are winter storm warnings in effect here along i-77, along 81 and that's where we're expecting three to six inches of accumulation. you have to get up in elevation to start to see some of the greater numbers. for the most part we've been seeing snowfall totals on the range of two to three inches. for example, williamsburg, kentucky, looking at about two inches of snowfall. where is the system headed? this thing is going to be moving up to the north and east and kind of a fast mover up at this point. this is the position we're expecting to be by 11:00 tonight. there you can still see some of the heavy snow into the central appalachians and just rain into the coast al areas over towards norfolk and by tomorrow morning this is going to be out of here so that's the good news that it's going to be gone for your

morning commute for tomorrow. now, one storm exits. cue next storm moving across parts of the four corners region right now and this is not so much a snow maker, but we're looking at really strong winds. in fact, blizzard watches have already been posted here into eastern parts of colorado. you're only going to see maybe one to three inches of snow. when you add in wind gusts tomorrow that could be reaching 60 miles per hour that creates zero visibility. watch out for a lot of wind associated with this system, rain and then snow into the mountains and yet another system out west. they're kind of lining up out there and energy and wind with the storms. >> blast of that winter. thanks so much. straight ahead, whitney houston making her final journey home today. that and your average top stories next. bchl
