tickets on 48th street. some folks have been in line since tuesday hoping for a chance to see him in action on "snl" tonight. good luck. >> i have a feeling tonight's going to be absolutely epic. >> it will be. coming up, the dow industrial average hits a new all-time high after a strong jobs number. while wall street is thriving, what about you? we'll get into that. >> which is why we're happy you're here this morning. >> thank you very much. >> you always have the answers for me. plus, daylight saving time arrives in a matter of hours. our clocks springing ahead in the wee hours of the morning, robbing us of 60 precious minutes of sleep? why do we do it? we'll look at the pros and the cons. and lingerie giant victoria's secret now apparently targeting younger consumers. does marketing sexy underwear to young teens or tweens cross a line? big changes coming to "the view." there's speculation that another of the hosts is on the way out days after joy behar announced she's getting set to leave. we'll get into all of that
5:31 am
intrigue. in afghanistan, a suicide bomber attacking in kabul as defense secretary chuck hagel's in the middle of a trip there. we have more from kabul. mike, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carl. how are you? yeah, terrible day of violence here in afghanistan. one suicide attack in the eastern city that was aimed at a joint patrol, nine civilians killed, though. eight of them children, the other one, as you mentioned, here in central kabul. an afghan official saying it was a lone bicycle-riding suicide bomber who set off his charge 30 yards to the main entrance of the afghanistan began defense ministry. the blast could be heard for miles, even at the building where secretary hagel was in a briefing. the briefing continued uninterrupted as did the itinerary that took him to bagram air base and jalalabad. today is a big day. he will visit in kabul a training center for the afghan national army. and then he's going to have a
5:32 am
series of meals with afghan economic and military officials ending with a sit down with afghan president hamid karzai. on the agenda, the continuing security problems, of course, and the elephant in the room, the prospects for peace and reconciliation talks with the taliban which at the moment, carl, nowhere in sight. carl? >> mike, thank you very much. here's erica. we turn to the vatican. cardinals are days away from electing a new pope. we have more from vatican city. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. in front of this terrific view of the vatican, you see the basilica to my right. to my left, the sistine chapel. on top of the sistine chapel this morning, they have been erecting a small chimney where -- ready for the start of the conclave on tuesday. that will be where the smoke appears as each set of ballots are burned. once in the morning, once in the afternoon. when there is white smoke, the
5:33 am
bells of the basilica ring, and a pope has been selected. now 115 cardinals who will elect the next pope have been arriving this morning for more discussions ahead of tuesday's conclave. vatican-watchers say there's no clear favorite set to emerge as pope at the moment. no front-runner. at the same time, one italian newspaper this morning claims there are three strong candidates including boston's cardinal sean o'malley. being talked about from italy and from brazil. erica, joining the conclave, the cardinals will live in basic accommodations inside the vatican. in recent history, con clafs ha -- conclaves have lasted by no more than five days. it is possible by next weekend we'll know the name of the next pope. there's increasing divide within two groups of cardinals. it could take some time. >> thanks. with the eyes of the world on the vatican and thousands of reporters on the scene, it's a busy time for the folks who work
5:34 am
there. among them, the vatican senior communication adviser, greg burke, who joins us this morning. nice to see you. >> gooreg burke, who joins us this morning. nice to see you. >> good to see you. good morning. >> we just laid out some of what we can anticipate this week. any sense, though, of timing at this point, of when we could have a choice? >> no. i think he probably guessed it pretty well. the going by past history, we have a good chance of by this time next week, perhaps even by thursday or friday. so in less than a week, there would be a vote. however, you have to remember that the cardinals are free. they've obviously tried to do a lot of their talking before hand in what are known as these general congregations. they had a meeting this morning. they'll have one more on monday morning before they really get closed off. they get closed off on tuesday. so it could go on longer, but basically it will start on tuesday with only one vote. so i really don't think we should expect white smoke on
5:35 am
tuesday. but then after that, there will be two votes both in the morning, two votes in the afternoon on each day. so logic and past history would be that sometime by maybe friday next week you would have a pope, but there's no guarantee of that. >> what does this pope need in terms of credentials? there's a lot of talk about age, experience, where this pope should be from. are we learning more about what the sort of ideal makeup would be in this case? >> well, we certainly are. the pope needs everything. somebody said it needs to be jesus christ with an mba. that may be taking it a bit too far, but he certainly does need the first part of that, and that is really the key thing, somebody who imitates christ and credibly also can give that message to the rest of the world. now, after that, i think it depends a lot on where different people are from, what they consider the key profile, but you do need a little bit of everything in the sense they talk about vatican experience so, you know how the operation
5:36 am
works here but also experience as a bishop somewhere out in the world. what part of the world, that sort of depends. but at least out there as a pastor. -- so that if you were only a vatican official for a long time, that probably works against you. if you've only been a pastor outsomewhere around the world, that probably works against you as well. you need a little bit of both. >> there's been a lot of talk act le about leaks in the vatican and corruption. how much concern is there that once they are, in fact, locked in, once everybody else has been pushed out, that there could be some sort of leak? >> i think the leaks have come in these days in the general congregations because there's not this lockdown on the cardinals. they go home. some have been tweeting. they did ask the cardinals not to give interviews but there have been sort of various interpretations of that in the sense that some cardinals have continued their radio shows, some with their tweets and some giving information in different kinds of ways. but once the lockdown starts it really is, as we've seen in the
5:37 am
past, a very strict lockdown. i think it would be very unlikely at that point we would see leaks coming out. >> we will all be watching, greg. appreciate your time this morning. once again, here's carl. erica, thanks. it is a good weekend if you have money in the stock market. the dow jones industrial average hit a record high on friday for the fourth straight day. this after an encouraging jobs number. does this mean we're heading towards a recovery? cnbc's courtney reagan is here to answer that. good morning. >> good morning. >> the dow has four straight records. s&p is almost there. the s&p 500 index. what's going on? >> almost 14 points away on the s&p, the nasdaq hitting fresh 12-year highs. the market is responding to what we're hear from the economy, the housing market is improving. the jobs numbers, that was good. but also corporations are in better shape. they're returning money to shareholders in the form of dividends. that helps stock prices go up. they're buying back their shares. that also helps with stock prices. we're in a much better place
5:38 am
than we were five, four years ago. >> 236,000 jobs added in february, and the jobless rate comes down to 7.7%. that's the lowest since december of 2008. much better than just about anybody expected. right? >> it was. it was much better than what anyone expected. there are still some points of concern. the participation rate is not where we would like it to be. >> meaning the number of people looking for work. >> exactly. some have gotten discouraged and given up looking for jobs. there are still 4.8 million americans that have been without a job for more than six months. that's a little discouraging, but that unemployment rate is coming down. we're adding jobs and adding them in many sectors. that broad based addition was very encouraging. >> you mentioned housing, a big tailwind for the economy, mortgage rates still low. if you were thinking of refinancing your mortgage, are you running out of time? is there still a sweet spot there? >> it doesn't seem as if you're running out of time in the immediate future. there are things being done in the housing market that are better for everyone.
5:39 am
prices are going higher. the issue i think is the supply of homes. there seems to be a stronger demand than there is supply at this point. when it comes to refinancing, you have to do the malt, crunch the numbers, make sure it's worth the cost you also have to pay. >> stocks at record highs, my neighbor's still unemployed for a year, still getting killed on gas prices. how can both be true? >> sometimes the economy and the stock market can be telling two different stories. the economy is a bit of a lagging economy. when you look at these numbers, it's what we had seen. the stock market is more today and reactive to many, many things that are going on. it's possible but frustrating that we could show two different pictures. >> courtney regan, thanks. >> thank you, carl. despite that good news about the economy, we're starting to see the foughtoallout from the sequester. army soldiers are feeling the pinch. jim miklaszewski has more. jim, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, carl. there is no question that
5:40 am
tuition assistance is one of the most popular benefits for gis but because of sequestration, the army has decided to suspend it. it provides up to $4,500 a year in tuition payments. 200,000 soldiers are currently collecting on the benefit at a cost of nearly $400 million per year. just this past week, the marines also announced that they, too, are suspending their tuition assistance. the army stresses, however, that this in no way will affect any soldiers currently collecting on the benefit and that the entire program could be easily reinstated if sequestration itself is suspended. at the same time, the soldiers do have other places to turn. they do get some tuition help, for instance, from their gi benefits. but for the army and these soldiers, this is a classic case of catch-22. tuition assistance was created as an incentive to get soldiers to reenlist. but with all these budget cuts, the army can't afford to keep
5:41 am
them. carl? >> nbc's jim miklaszewski. jim, thanks. want to get a check of the morning's other top stories from jenna wolf. good morning. >> you were talking about the daylight saving situation. we're falling -- jumping ahead. whatever we're doing, lester has missed and gotten in late for the last three years in a row. now he suddenly seems to be in rome. i think he's just done it 24 hours in advance so he doesn't come in tomorrow. carl, great to have you. >> thanks, jenna. always fun. >> i don't know where i was going with all of that. a wildlife sanctuary in california will be open for the first time on sunday four days after a lion killed an interpret there. a lion attacked a 24-year-old named diana happenson as she cleaned another area on wednesday. hanson's family calls it a tragic accident. they do not blame the sanctuary for her death. the sanctuary calls cat haven will reopen to the public tomorrow. as james holmes prepares for court this week, a new court document reveals holmes was
5:42 am
recently hospitalized. the document shows he was taken from jail to a psych ward after he was considered a danger to himself back in mid-november. he stayed there for a few days, and according to the document was often held in restraints. holmes is supposed to be in court on tuesday where he is expected to enter a plea. venezuela's moving on to a future without hugo chavez in charge. on friday, nicholas ma dora was sworn in just hours after giving the eulogy al chavez' funeral. jesse jackson and actor sean penn were with other world leaders and dignitaries in attendance. you know how sometimes you hear a story on the news and you're, like, there's no way that happened. if it wasn't for the news, i would never believe it? this story. it happened to one man when he fell onto a screwdriver and the screwdriver got lodged about two inches into his head. check out the x-ray. somehow he had no clue it was even in there until he saw himself in the mirror. can you imagine what that
5:43 am
exchange with himself was like? after a three-hour operation to remove it, the man is basically finally, the number-one sign that it's a slow night on the police beat in oregon city. beaver on the loose, all hands on deck. several officers had to escort a beaver -- yeah, a beaver -- to safety. apparently the animal had gotten into traffic, couldn't find its way home. how does the beaver not have an iphone? the officers caught. it together they walked it back to the river to the tune of -- ♪ >> whistling on command -- >> i pathetically practiced that all morning to nail the "andy griffith" tune. i never realized how slow they move. they are some slow beavers. really slow walking. >> i guess it took up the whole night. >> yeah. gave them something to do. >> a little bit. sure. >> that's what you do when a beaver gets lost and need to go to the river. >> we've got a beaver --
5:44 am
>> right? can you imagine what they thought it was. >> maybe we should move to weather. >> please do it as fast as possible. dylan has the forecast. >> are you a neat person at home? >> it's a busy block -- >> this is not even mine. we're talking about snow actually moving to the denver area. all started as a big winter storm that moved into parts of the southwest yesterday. we did see some severe storms across arizona. and today we're actually going to see it move and turn into a blizzard warning for parts of the denver area. look at the flooding. that was in arizona yesterday. we saw ton of hail with those severe storms. and it just accumulated and made a mess of the roadways. it is going to turn more into a winter storm with wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour in denver, in western nebraska. that's why we do have the winter storm warnings and blizzard warnings in effect right now. looks like we'll pick up about a foot or more of snow in the denver area. and then as we move to the north and east, we will see about
5:45 am
three it six inches in parts of northern minnesota. that also extends into good morning from the nbc bay area center. i'm anthony slaughter. temperatures are going to warm nicely, about five degrees warmer than yesterday, 6 in san jose, 60 in san francisco. santa cruz not bad 63 degrees. tonight set the clocks ahead one hour, daylight savings time begins tomorrow. no chance of rain all week long. have a great weekend. >> that's your latest forecast. erica? >> all right. thanks. we are talking weather. when it comes to predicting the path of the biggest storms, the super computers in europe seem to have ours beat. why the difference? al roker takes a look. >> reporter: they were dire warnings that shut down the nation's capital. >> our biggest snowfall in two years. can you believe it? >> reporter: forecasters
5:46 am
promising washington's worst storm in two years. but that didn't happen. >> the question is, tom, do we need the push broom or the great, big shovel out here? we don't need either. >> reporter: the weather channel's jim cantore, known best for braving water like this -- >> hold on to the camera, brad -- >> reporter: was left in the snowless capital. >> no snow anywhere to be found. >> reporter: cliff mass is an atmospheric science professor at the university of washington. >> 24 hours out, 36 hours out, there was these differences that made the difference between rain and snow. the european was going for less precipitation. >> reporter: he says wednesday's storm is just the latest example of the shortcomings of u.s. weather prediction. >> we led the world for decades. but we at that slip during the '80s and '90s as we didn't invest enough. >> reporter: the europeans have invested heavily in weather forecasting with ten times the
5:47 am
computing ability of the national weather service. while meteorologists rely on more than just computer modwhels making predictions, a rash of recent winter storms in boston and oklahoma have highlighted the superiority of european storm modeling. the european model keeps it hugging the coast. the starkest example, hurricane sandy, a week before the storm made landfall. the american model indicated it would head out into the atlantic. it was the europeans who first foresaw that historic and devastating left hook. >> we have a very good -- very good numerical models. but there are modeling systems in the world considered better than ours. >> dylan, which do you rely on as a meteorologist? what do you look to? >> the thing with the european model, it will name a storm -- it will nail a storm a week in advance. it's hard to believe a model that far in advance. say, yeah, we'll have a
5:48 am
record-breaking storm a week in advance. i think i do tend to follow the european model, but it's murphy's law. every time i'm like, i'm going on all board with the european model, the american model is right. that's what we do as meteorologists, give and take with the models, and try and nail it down by the time of the storm. this storm, maybe not. >> maybe not. thanks. >> do you know what i -- i do a 50/50. i go 50/50. i like models in europe and the states. i flupip a coin -- >> that's why dylan does what she does. >> carl? >> thanks. if are you famous and in trouble, lani davis is the guy you keep on speed dial. the crisis manager helped guide high-profile figures like martha stewart, bill clinton, and charlie rangel through public scandal. now he's out with a book called "crisis tales," about how to handle upheavals in your life. lanny davis, great to have you here. >> thank you. >> you saved some people out of some pretty tough holes. how did you get into that line
5:49 am
of business? >> good question. i went to law school with someone named hillary rodham. and the the clintons after the election needed someone to speak to the public, and speak out on charges that were meritless. i learned about politics after the clinton white house and afterwards did the same thing. >> you developed a reputation for, some would say, defending our helping unsavory character. i wonder if there's a line that you draw, someone that you absolutely will not represent. >> i represented the board of trustees and penn state university. i've been asked would i have tried to defend jerry sandusky, a predator/monster who raped children. the answer is no. so it has to be something that i have a moral compass and that i'm able to get the facts. if i can't get the facts, i can't defend. >> one lesson is don't plan on a big vacation, it could always get interrupted. martha stewart calls you in --
5:50 am
in 2000, she's suspected of insider trading. she calls you in the middle of the night and says, "i want -- i need help. my lawyers don't want me to talk. what do i do?" >> she used a blankety-blank in front of the word lawyers which most people do. the problem is, lawyers in the middle of a criminal investigation didn't want her to speak. martha stewart, one of the great communicators of all time, wanted to tell the truth and get the story out before the prosecutors made a decision. and as a lawyer, i was able to help her do that. >> carnival cruiselines, "triumph" stranded in the gulf of mexico. widely criticized for not responding to passenger needs. how did they do? >> they gave me a case study of how to do everything wrong compared to the chapter that i wrote on royal caribbean when it had a difficulty with somebody who went overboard by accident. they put the story out themselves. the ceo went on television and told the story. that was a model of how to do it the right way. >> finally, how does an average american, just a regular person, incorporate some of the lessons of this book? >> you know, i tell the story of
5:51 am
senator trent lott who experienced a terrible personal issue when he had to step down as majority leader. that crisis was about healing. it -- couldn't restore his political position. that's the way people ought to look at it. if it's a personal matter, it starts with your spouse, your friend, your companion. it starts with healing. then the crisis can be over. >> might get calls from guys saying, "i'm in touch with the wife." thank you very much. >> thanks. still to come on "today," it's almost time to spring forward for daylight saving time. coming up, a look at why we do it. first, this is "today" on nbc. here you go little man.
