and google's big gaffe, the security slip-up that allowed companies to track your personal information. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com whitney houston was laid to rest in new jersey. it was a family-only service today as a cemetery in westfield. in just a couple of minutes i'll talk live to a cnn producer who attended whitney houston's funeral yesterday in newark and who she saw and what she saw. that's. going up. human remains have been found on long island in a separate location from where others have been located, and the find is renewing fears that a serial killer is to blame. ten other sets of remains have been discovered since 2000. the latest remains were found about 40 miles from where other remains were uncovered. so far it's not clear if the cases are connected. and the co-chair of mitt romney's presidential campaign in arizona is stepping down.

sheriff paul babeu is making the move after allegations surfaced that he threatened to de port an ex-boyfriend. they were first reported in the "phoenix new times." the reporter who broke this story will be joining us in about 20 minutes. in the vatican city, pope benedict led 22 new cardinals in mass this morning. among the new cardinals, new york's bishop timothy dolan. they will one day elect the next pope. iranian navy ships including a destroyer have passed into the sue wez canal. a similar move a year ago seen here in earlier videos stirred fears in israel and other nations, an iranian news agency says the deployment is memt to show friendship and support and to display iran's military resolve. we're following developments

in syria today. people fighting against government troops are afraid a major military crackdown is coming soon. at least 23 people were killed in clashes around the country today. cnn's nick payton walsh is keeping an eye. >> reporter: waking again to a sound of it which has borne the brunt of this army offensive. residents deeply concerned that they're seeing serious 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. quite separately the different part of the country, they're still trying to digest the co s consequences. originally a funeral turned into a protest and then scenes around the neighborhood where frankly

the presidential palace is nearby. many are the ministries as well. i think this may have caused some in the capital to feel greater quiet. after 11 months of economic disruption the country frankly at a stand still as the conflict violently played out in many areas an perhaps these protests may finally have an impact on residents living in that vie tall area. nick payton walsh, cnn, beruit. >> today in new jersey a large crowd of whitney houston fans gathered outside the cemetery where she was laid to rest ichlt was a private ceremony. no reporters inside. ♪ i'm taking with me so good-bye please don't cry

we both know ♪ >> so this was yesterday's televised invitation-only service in newark. they gathered to celebrate her life. cnn's ray lynn johnson was among those. good to see you. as large as it was, it seemed to be a very personal moving celebration of life, wasn't it? >> it absolutely was. it was three hours of church on a saturday morning. to think whitney houston was able to get everyone who's a who's who packed into this church, it was so joyous. we were on our feet clapping and singeing most of the time. and for so long it took me a while to lielz we're actually at a funeral. but it was very typical in the way that most baptist church

home going what we like to say servicings were. you celebrated this. that's exactly why we celebrated whitney houston. >> initially this funeral service was expected to be private and so the family ak question issed and had the cameras there. today the burial, very quiet and private. do you know any detail about how they were able to pull that off? >> well, think the city of newark has tremendous respect for their star whitney houston. you have to remember that this is the biggest person at some point in this world or in the history of music. she is the biggest star, and here she is in this church, surrounded by dilapidated buildings and the most important people in music were here for her. but i think that the way the family was able to keep it private was the respect for

cissy houston. she is the choir director at this church still. whitney houston knows the sound of that organ. she grew up to it. she sang to it. i think at the end of the day that's where people said, okay, we gave the world whitney houston for so long, and cissy houston, i think she said, e get my daughter back today. i get her back today. >> the public had a chance to see cissy houston, the back of her head through the majority of the service but those invited to be there had a chance to really read into her thoughts and that's because she posted a letter in that program and that ice a program you had an opportunity to read. just a synopsis of some of the words of cissy houston. she said i never told you -- this is like a letter to whitney houston. i never told you that when you were born the holy spirit told me that you would not be with me long. thank god for the beautiful flower he allowed me to raise and cherish for 48 years. that's an emotional moment that the mother revealed to the

audience of people who were there at the funeral. did people there discuss that or talk about what they didn't know about i guess what cissy hous n houston's premonition had been all these years? >> i don't think people spoke about it a lot. but one thing was very clear throughout this entire ceremony in the narrative that cissy houston loved her daughter so much. i know what that feels like. i have that same relationship with my mother. you can see that same relationship, that bond with cissy and whitney and bobbi kristina. there was such a love. they were a team. and i think that what was so hard for people was to see cissy houston break down, completely broken down because this is a woman who has been very public about the fact that she knew what her daughter's struggles were, she asked the world to pay for her many times on public occasions, and what must it feel like for a mother to think you may know what may hurt your child and to be walking down

that aisle behind her body and to know that. maybe you've about had a lot of conversations, tried to steer her in a different direction. people always say mothers, parents are not supposed to bury their children and i under that very clearly yesterday. >> another resonating message that came from the funeral services yesterday that has people still thinking today which was bobby brown releasing a statement at the tail end of that ceremony saying he's elected to leave because of some confusion over the seeth arrangement. he felt he was treated in a disrespectful way. when you were there, what did you see? >> i have to be honest. being there -- i was about 20 pews away from bobbi kristina and cissy houston, there was no chaos inside. you saw bobby brown come in, he wejts by the casket, he walked back up the aisle. and when i looked at him, he was so emotionally distraught that i thought as did many people

around me, maybe he's moving to another area where it's a bit more private where he could have -- >> did you see -- i mean in his statement he talked about being asked to move three times. is that something that you and others -- other attendees were able to see and thought was awkward? >> i want to be very clear with that. no, i didn't think that was awkward. he was. the only v.i.p. who was playing this little dance with security. he was not the only celebrity who had to move his seat. >> cnn producer raelyn johnson. thanks so much for your person expectative of that very touching ceremony yesterday, that going home for whitney houston. in the meantime we're going to talk politics straight ahead. the tug-of-war over same-sex marriage in new jersey. one day lawmakers make it legal the next day governor christie vetoes it. also we're getting in breaksing news of an avalanche in washington state. we'll be right back with details on that.

are missing. this was not the ski proper area. it was kind of the out of bounds area. we're still investigating hoping we don't find any more victims. that's really all we have right now. >> you're saying this is taking place in an out of bounds area. what kind of elevation are we talking about and what are people doing in that out of bounds area generally? >> you know, i'm not sure of the elevations, but, you know, there's everything from cross-country skiing, mountaineering. there's a lot of recreational activities we have in the area. we don't really know what the victims were doing at the time of the avalanche. >> have there been any warnings posted as often occurs at some ski resorts at a particular time of day or day may be avalanche-prone and there may be warnings being posted for those who were skiers or snow-shoers? >> yeah, you know, i don't know that at this point. but they're pretty good about advising people of those things

what enwe have new snow and we had new snow lately. i wouldn't doubt it if there were warnings. >> you do believe those people are accounted for? >> i'm not up to speed right now. i'm communicating with people who are saying that people are accounted for but i don't want to confirm that for sure. >> you're table to confirm three tragically killed in that after large. thanks so much. king county, washington, sheriff's office sergeant cindi west. all right. let's talk about new jersey and governor chris christie, following through on his promise tory jekt a bill allowing people of the same-sex to marry in his state. friday he vetoed a bill that new jersey lawmakers had passed the day before. christie says it should be voted by the voters, not the lawmakers. earlier i talked with two new jersey lawmakers about governor christie's veto. steve sweeney, a democrat who

favors it and john brannic, a republican, who sides with governor christie on this issue. >> explain why the governor is taking this hard stand against it when the majority of the general assembly voted in favor of it? >> actually i don't think it's a hard stand. the governor himself is against same-sex marriage but he's willing to allow the people to vote. it was clear it was not only republicans or democrats. >> so if recent polls show that about 54% of new jerseyians support same-sex marriage and the general assembly is voting in concert with what new jersians say, why have debl work? why not go ahead and pass this legislation that is general assembly gives a thumbs up to as opposed to taking it to the

general public? >> because this is a major social issue change that the governor believes and many members of the legislation believe that the public should vote on. there republicans in favor of this issue and democrats but it's the consensus of the republicans that it's up to the public as a whole to vote on this issue. one thing about governor christie, he tells it the way it is. you know when he says he's going to do something, he does it, and think president sweeney knows that. >> if the ma josht of the new jersians would allow it, why would they not allow it to be in the form of a referendum. >> very simply you don't put civil rights on the ballot. the majority has always denied the minority the rights when it's been place odden the battleball lot. throughout history we don't do this because we know what happens when we do. it's a copout to try to do it the way they have. i spoke to many republicans who support this. this does not belong on the

ballot. we got elected to make decisi s decisions. when the government cut funding for sexually abused children, that did not go on the ballot. when they cut funding for visually impaired children, that did not go on the ballot. >> mr. bramnick, why is it that the choice is being made by the general assembly but then it is being now turned to the general public to say it's on you? >> first let me address what president sweeney said. he actually indicated the last time he did not vote for this bill. so there is passion on both sides of this issue and it is is an issue. it's not savl rights issue and you can see that by democrats and republicans both having the same view, at least some of them on the same side of this issue. >> mr. sweeney, you get the last word, mr. bramnick saying this is not an issue of civil rights. >> how can it not be?

when i have a certain right and i'm allowed to do something and you're not. that's what we've fought over and what this country is founded on is fairness. the government is 1,000% wrong. >> governor christiecies he wants the issue to go before new jersey voters in november when large numbers of people will be turning out for the presidential election. all right. a tough on immigration sheriff and former co-chair of mitt romney's campaign is in the middle of a scan stand zal and he steps down from the romney campaign. the reporter who broke the story is joining us next. you know when i grow up,

now to a scandal involving a rising star and a republican party. paul babeu is a no nonsense tough on immigrations sheriff who's facing allegations that he threatened to de port his secret

lover, man from mexico. he was also the co-chair of mitt romney's arizona campaign before abruptly stepping down and he's running for congress from arizona. monica alonzo is the reporter who broke the story far their "phoenix news times." what's become the focus? the relationship with another man, the alleged threat or deportation or how all this plays into his involvement with the romney campaign? >> first of all, thanks so much for having me. really it's all of those things. what they're trying -- how they're trying to phrase this issue is he is gay and these allegations are made in way to out him. that was one of the things that was mentioned. but really i think the crux of the story still is these allegations that he used his power to intimidate his former boyfriend into, you know, trying to intimidate him into signing

some document where he wanted to disclose details about his relationship and clearly there's been an indication on the campaign trail in terms of him running in the most conservative district and it still remains to be seen how that's going to play out with the news that he is gay which he announced on saturday. and also this idea, you know, like you mentioned, tough on immigration sheriff being involved. >> so, monica, you broke the story. how concerned were you about the sourcing of this story, whether there were axs to grind, you know, whether this was a personal fight or whether this was a centerpiece of a political fight? >> well, it was very clear early on when i met with jose that clearly he's been hurt by this. you know, this was a

relationship that they've had over a period of several years. but really what stood out the most is his desire to stop the threats and imdags he he said and he claims the sheriff said. he wanted to be left alone and he felt ultimately that the best way for him to achieve that is to sort of sign up and the -- when the relationship soured and find something to not disclose their relationship that these questions were raised about his visa and the threat that he could be de ported. he didn't want to focus attention on himself. >> so, monica, the sheriff is denying the allegations that there was this threat, he's not stepping down from his position as sheriff. he also maintains that he's going to continue to try and

pursue a u.s. congressional seat all the while, however, he has stepped down from the romney campaign. so why does he feel he's in a position to continue running for office, yet he's now stepping away from working on someone else's campaign? >> i think what he's trying to do is just change the game here, make it about him being gay and it's okay for him to be gay. i think he's hoping he'll get some support just out of his, you know, what he calls his honesty now. he has. refuted any of ichlt it's going to be challenge for him because his opponents are now raising questions about his judgment just in the photographs to somebody, an anonymous individual, some exclusive photos. but, you know, he is denying the allegations. what's important is the

allegations, what the next chapter of the story has to be, who's going to look into that. they investigate the nature of what happened. >> monica, alonzo with the phoenix news times, thanks for that reporting. controversy has found jeremy lin. his fans react to a racial slur used by espn. all this in-on-day when he had to suit up and play.

all right. most of us google. when we do, we may be giving way information that we thought was prierchlt we'll talk about that

familiar face ja and google suddenly finds itself in the midst of a flack over prove sichl we'll tell you what it reveals.

all right. we know weather can be pretty unpredictable, especially if you live in areas where hurricanes and toerjds are common. yes, there are forecasts but how prepared are you? that really is the kind of a focus of this segment here.

a very familiar face. our resident meteorologist here, bonnie schneider, is out with a book to help you better understand how to respond. when you hear about a hurricane coming to your area or, you know, snow showers or flooding, et cetera, what do you do? and i bet you a lot of times people really don't know what to do. bonnie schneider out with this now with "stream weather." and that really was the impetus of this, light? here you are with this incredible spomt of letting people know what may be approaching and then instinctively people don't know what to do. >> no. and think when you're talking extreme weather, there's so many different types from wildfires to snowstorms, hurricanes to tornados. it's hard to remember what you heard a year ago on tv or that morning. this puts everything together in one place. it's a survival guide that's easy go chapter by chapter and not only get the information needed for your family but in every chapter i put in pets safety and how to prepare your pets and how to use social media

during an emergency disaster and an emergency check list. it's one book that has always the information you need. >> this was a labor of love. you're using your expertise as a meteorologist but you're reaching out to real people, survivor ises of any number of these natural ore occurrences and kind of comparing what they did and what they should have done. >> everyone i talked to in this book, fred, they found themselves in extraordinary circumstances they were not prepared for. some were driving home from the office. when gentleman had a 50-minute commute from rockville, maryland, and he got caught on the road in a snowstorm and was on the road for 11 hours. these things do and can happen. the people i reach out to, you'll find a survivor story in every chapter. try to make it concise and riveting and dramatic as well in their words to convey to people that these types of emergencies can and do happen to everybody across the country. i've been traveling across the country on a book tour and different states have different

concerns. was in california where they're askinger hurricanes and wildfires and in boston we're focusing on snowstorms but everybody has something they're concerned with. >> have people been saying, finally, there's a guidebook on what i should do. >> i think there were always misconceptions of what you need in terms of supplies. a lot of people have read the book and come up to me and said, i thought this and i've read this and i see it's this. i've gotten a lot of feedback. i'm excited to share the book because of the fact that people will find themselves in these circumstances in the coming year. even if they take away a few facts from the book. >> the timing is extraordinary and great. we've all been part of or witness to extreme weather systems. yes, you'll have the great technology of forecasting and giving a heads-up and letting people know, but still the ski is response and what to do. >> it's so important to be proactive and create a family

disaster plan so everybody knows what to do and in the worst case scenario where you have to evacuate, but also not only watching the weather on cnn or keeping track of it, but it's important to have a noaa weather radio and have it on overnight in an alert mode, especially if you're on an alert watch so it will go off if there's an alert for your downdy. that's so key because sometimes severe weather happens when people are asleep. >> bonnie schneider, thanks so much. it's called "extreme weather." i'm so proud of you. congratulations. >> it's been a lot of fun. >> espn apologizes for using offensive laj in a report about new york knicks star jeremy lin who led his team to another big win today. espn writer and anchor have since been fired but lin seemed to taket all in stride, scoring 28 points in the knicks 104-97 win over the dallas master ricks. our susan can't yoty joins us from new york's chinatown where

you spent the afternoon watching the game with a number of his fans. what have they been saying about what espn did and how it is responding and apologizing? >> reporter: well, fred, you can imagine that fans are not at all happy. many of the fans that we spoke with here in chinatown, fans of that harvard grad and new york knicks sensation jeremy lin. this all happened after the knicks lost to the menew orlean hornets and follow that a headline appeared on espn headline that read "chink in the armor." after that they fired and suspended the man who read it. reads in part we again apologize to mr. lin. his accomplishment are a is source of great pride to the asian-american community

including asian-american employees at espn. as you can imagine many people here, especially fans here in chinatown not happy about this. >> playing in ballpark or the play grounlds as an asian person playing, you're always looked down upon. nowadays you can say, look, there's an asian-american playing to. see him dunk, it's just, wow, you know? >> reporter: well, there you have a fan who is saying that they're hoping he can help bridge -- that jeremy lin can help bridge the stereotypes of all asian-americans who play sports. we also talked with fans directly abouthe comments made by espn in that mobile headline as well, and here's what they said about that. >> you would nltd say the "n"

word or any racist tone or statement to any other race for that matter, so why should chinese be excluded? >> it's inappropriate. it is. and he should be treated like any other player. it shouldn't be -- i don't know. i don't think race should be a factor. >> reporter: of course, as you now know, the new york knicks beat the dallas mavericks, and they're, of course, nba champs, and jeremy lin had a great game scoring 28 points and had a whopping 14 assists. the question is could this be the start of another lining streak? back to you. >> susan can't yachty, thanks so much there in chinatown. it turns that apple's safari web browser or anything else apple may have been a -- may not

have been as private as you thought. some say google has been caught bypassing its security sendings. so what does that mean for you? and we all want our kids to grow up and be ready for the real world, and a beg part of that is figuring out how to make smart money decisions, but how will they learn? all of that in this "perry's principles" and cnn's contributor and school principal steve perry has some ideas. >> what are we doing today to prepare the children in schools, understanding the markets and economy better to prepare the children of tomorrow? >> there's a lot that's expected of us as educators. in preparation for the standardized tests there is nothing to teach children about the markets and as a result we don't. there are some teachers who take it upon themselves in certain schools to do something with it. there are opportunities there, but there's very little that we're doing. this is where parents come in. you guys can talk about what you

think is important. not just to your own child, but you can come to the school and offer after-school activities, come volunteer and tell us what you think we need to know about the markets. at the end of the day, we're educators. we're not professionals in the markets. so we could use your help. either as a parent or a member of that profession who can come in and help our school out. you know what's exciting, graduation. when i look up into my student's faces, i see pride. you know, i haveone something worthwhile. when i earned my doctorate through university of phoenix, that pride, that was on my face. i am jocelyn taylor, i am committed to making a difference in peoples lives and i am a phoenix.

the latest internet privacy flack involves google. they by passed privacy settings on safari's web browser. they tracked users and tried to keep track of information they might be searching for. so now three congressmen want the ftc to investigate. we're joined now by the reporter who wrote the story for the wall street jury know. jennifer valentino disease. good to see you. explain why google would want do this in the first place. >> well, google says the placement of these tracking files was inadvertent, that what they wanted to do was place little buttons on advertisements so you could indicate to your social network that you really liked an ad. >> stop right there.

how -- can i just stop you right there? how could it be inadvertent when they apparently used some kind of coding technology in which to bypass, you know, that privacy setting? >> right. so they had to bipass that setting to put these little buttons on and that also resulted in the placement of all these tracking files that could kind of follow your browsing around the web. so what they're saying is, well, we intended to do one thing and we didn't realize that we were also ended up adding all these other tracking files that so how long was it believed that google was doing this? you kno >> you know, i believe, indications are they would have been doing it for several months. they introduced this feature involving the buttons on the ads this past fall. the researcher who first found this, a fellow at stanford, he actually had seen this over the past, you know, couple of months, and we looked at it.

>> so when it was brought to their attention that the stanford student had uncovered this, did google change its ways right away? >> yes. in fact, we called them this past week, and they stopped the practice, and they also removed some language that was on one of their sites that was telling users of safari, which is a web browser on iphones and ipads and macintosh computers, it was telling them to use safari settings to block this tracking when, in fact, it turned out that was. working. they removed the language and the tracking files. >> so any of these users of apping, should they be concerned that any of their private information has been compromised over the few months that google admits to using this technology? >> you know, i mean i think it

is important to note that this wasn't taking things like your social security number or your private financial information or anything like that. this is just your web browsing. and, you and, you know, for some people that also is very personal, but it's not the same thing as identity theft or other concerns. i think the bigger concern is just kind of the extent to which, you know, this is news because it's something that google is doing and google is a very large company and we kind of trust them. however, this sort of tracking is pretty commonplace, and i think this is really just an issue that people need to know, that on the web this is the sort of thing that happens frequently. >> jennifer valentino de vries, thank you very much. appreciate your time. >> thank you. we're going to have much more in the "newsroom" straight ahead. don lemon back from new jersey after spending a good part of the day yesterday outside the memorial services. everyone agrees it was very

emotional, powerful. we have heard from so many voices and people who were there. >> everyone says it was a long service, but i grew up -- we were in church for three hours almost every single sunday and that's really typical for the length of a black baptist funeral but it was very moving yesterday, and it was very interesting week to say the least after reporting it starting on saturday. >> what do you have going today? jive a lot going today, but it made me also grateful for the people in my life who i love and care about, you're one of them. i'm so happy you're my friend and co-worker. we'll see how long it lasts before i become cranky again. >> let's hope we're grateful every day. >> sometimes you need a little renewal. i have very interesting stuff coming up. slavery was supposed to end, fred, with the 13th amendment when it was ratified in 1865, but did it really stop then? a book called slavery by another name. there's a documentary that argues it didn't end until around the 1950s. coming up at 6:00, i will talk with not just the author, but to

a pretty wintry mix spells travel troubles in the east and the west. meteorologist jacqui jeras is here with more on that. >> a lot of snow across -- hello. you can turn and look at me. it's okay. >> i don't like having my back to you. >> i know. >> sometimes that's how shots are. >> speaking of the travel trouble and the snow, it's actually so beautiful though. this is out of the roanoke area where the snow has been coming down hard and heavy at times today and we've seen as much as an inch per hour at times. and i guess that video is not

going to pop up. there it is. just roll that beautiful footage. look at that. it's just a beautiful thing, but it's been tough for travelers in the central appalachians. places that have been hit hardest, eastern kentucky into west virginia, western parts of virginia state, western north carolina, and northeastern parts of tennessee. now, the good thing is it's primarily been a weekend event for you and we're going see improving conditions as we head into tomorrow. washington, d.c., for the most part has been spared with this storm, so that's been the good news. just rain across much of the deep south. this thing is going to move up to the carolinas late tonight. by the middle of the night we're still going to be seeing snow, especially the higher elevations. that's where the heaviest accumulations will stay. really everybody should stay around 8 inches or less and most of the big cities are going to be missed by this storm as well. that's the good news. exit one storm, in comes the next. this is what we're dealing with across parts of the rockies. by the way, this snowstorm is the one that was responsible for bringing so much heavy snow into parts of the pacific northwest

as well over the last couple of days. this is the position of the storm today and this is going to be moving through the rockies into the plain states and it's going to be warming up a little bit and intensifying as it does so. this is going to be a huge windmaker. blizzard conditions expected into eastern colorado tomorrow. we're going to see a couple inches of snow across the upper midwest but we should be able to count the number of inches on one hand. also, i just want to mention we're going to have an update on the avalanche at steven's pass coming up at 6:00 eastern. >> thanks so much, jacqui. appreciate it. that's going to do it for me. thanks for being with me this afternoon. much more of the cnn "newsroom" continues at the top of the hour with don lemon. have a great week. our science tr helped us build it. ♪ now i'm a geologist at chevron, and i get to help science teachers. it has four servo motors and a wireless microcontroller. over the last three years we've put nearly 100 million dollars into american education. that's thousands of kids learning to love science. ♪ isn't that cool? and that's pretty cool.
