>> the satellite images show iran is trying to clean up something at a suspected nuclear sight. it's possibly evidence that it was testing a nuclear trigger. >> thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. i truly have enjoyed being your quarterback. >> what uniform will peyton manning wear next season? >> i don't know who's interested. look, the miami dolphins have a great organization. >> we're announcing the new ipad. >> the biggest draw is this new high definition screen. >> if apple came out with an old potato, where do i get it? i've got to have it. >> mexican tie coop carlos blim retains his top spot on "forbes" magazine's annual list. >> jeks ka simpson is on the cover of elle magazine. she is naked and really pregnant. >> all that. >> looked like somebody might have fainted up here. have we got ems? >> folks do this all the time at my meetings.

>> and all that matters. >> ann harris is not nearly as cute. >> on "nbc 10 news today." >> as you say, blacks don't crack? >> as you say, blacks don't crack? well, chinese stays finese. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "nbc 10 news today." no matter where you live as you head out the door this morning, you can probably leave your winter coat behind. tens of millions of americans will see unusually warm weather today. atlanta can look forward to 75. temperatures in washington, d.c., 71 degrees. here in new york city they're predicting highs in the upper 60s. and it's not just today, actually. we're coming to the end of the warmest winter in more than a decade. the fourth warmest on record in the united states. business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis shows us the strange weather is having a significant impact on our economy. a little good and bad there.

becky, good morning. >> very true, erica. this winter is breaking records for its lack of snow. it is the third smallest winter snow cover across the country in nearly half a century. >> across much of the country this year old man winter has been a virtual no show. from des moines to d.c. and new york. >> i'm almost ready to wear a bathing suit. >> see the sun. be outside without jackets, mittens, gloves. >> reporter: last winter new york suffered under the weight of nearly 61 inches of snow and bone chilling temperatures. crews dumped more than 300,000 tons of salt on city roads. today that stockpile remains mostly intact. >> i've never seen a winter this warm actually. it's always been blizzarding or just freezing. this is really strange. >> reporter: minneapolis has seen just 22 inches of snow. last winter the city got a whopping 86. enough to bring down the metrodome. residents are also soaking up the sun in chicago where the

average temperatures this year is six degrees above normal. >> for this past winter we saw the la nina begin to weaken. the waters over the pacific began to warm up. the northern jet stream was not as potent, therefore, the temperatures were not as cold over a good chunk of the country. >> reporter: not everyone is enjoying the nicer weather. from allergy sufferers struggling with an early pollen season. >> grade a medium, grade d, b. >> to maple syrup producers who rely on frigid temperatures to get the sap flowing. >> this is going to cost us about $10,000. >> reporter: the biggest concern for forecasters now is that the early thaw could trigger more severe weather systems, like last week's deadly tornado outbreak. >> warmer temperatures mean more moisture. more moisture means a better chance for thunderstorms and also the chance for tornadoes. also heading toward the upcoming hurricane season, warm waters are one of the key ingredients that hurricanes gain their fuel from. >> pleased to have rebecca jarvis a the the table.

what is the economic impact? >> the biggest one for consumers is that you're going to see a decrease or you have seen a decrease in your heating bills. utility costs are down 10% this winter. that's a big one for people who are dealing with $4 gasoline. it sort of has offset that. also on the jobs front we're seeing more construction jobs, outdoor jobs are easier to come by at this time of year. in december and january we saw construction jobs up 52,000. the last thing is new home construction. then state budgets and city budgets have actually been better off this winter than previous times because they're not spending on the overtime, the salt, and on as much snow clearing. >> the tough part is you can never count on the weather? is it a temporary boost that we're seeing or could some of them have a lasting impact? >> 66% of economists think this could be temporary. the reason they say it is we're coming into the normal spring and summer season where things are warm, things start to

normalize in that period. also, with gasoline prices continuing to rise, that may eventually offset some of these benefits. everybody obviously you don't know. you can never tell exactly what the weather's going to be. that can have an impact on the economy. >> we'll enjoy it while we can. thanks. >> thank you. if your cell phone or gps seems like it's on the fritz this morning, we may have the explanation for you. check this out. a massive solar storm. the largest in five years slamming into the earth. it erupted from the sun's surface earlier this week. scientists say this cloud of charged particles could disrupt utility grids, airline flights, and satellite networks. in the battle for control of syria, president obama is now asking the pentagon to set a u.s. military option. that was revealed at a senate hearing yesterday. republican senator john mccain criticized defense secretary leon panetta for not backing airstrikes against syria's government. >> how many additional civilian lives would have to be lost in

order to convince you that the military measures of this kind that we are proposing necessary to end the killing and force them to leave power, how many more have to die. >> clarissa ward has been covering the crisis. she's in beirut, lebanon. clarissa, has there been any reaction to inside syria to this talks of military action suggested by senator mccain? >> reporter: well, i think certainly rebels inside the country will absolutely embrace senator mccain's comments. every rebel fighter we met when we were there just a few weeks ago said the same thing. we are desperate for weapons. we need communication systems. we need training. we cannot win this fight alone. i also think there's likely to be a healthy degree of skepticism. people on the ground do not feel like america has taken a proactive stance on dealing with the situation. it's unlikely that they'll be convinced immediately that senator mccain's comments mean any real change to be afoot. >> how long could this stretch

out if there is no military support for the rebels? >> reporter: well, already we're hearing reports from inside the country that they have run out of bullets, that the prices of weapons are simply sky ronrocke out of control. they are not receiving any supply line, any money from outside sources. lots of these individual rebel groups are already suffering enormously. as we saw in baba amr in the city of homs, it's clear without training, without supplies, without money these rebels simply cannot fight or win this fight alone. >> clarissa, there are also the humanitarian needs. we're hearing more about medical supplies or the lack thereof. what more do we know about that in terms of the situation? >> reporter: well, the syrian government has been promising the international red cross that it would gain access to the hardest hit baba amr area for the last six days. finally yesterday they allowed in aid workers from the syrian arab red cross and valerie amos.

she is in syria now trying to negotiate for the free passage of aid workers to the hardest hit areas. certainly there are no indications yet that this mission will be successful. >> clarissa. thank you. from capitol hill, democratic senator john kerry. he is chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. good morning, senator. >> good morning, charlie. >> senator, you have made a number of visits to syria before this crisis started. you know president assad well and have had conversations with him. should we at this time follow the advice of senator mccain and engage in military strikes? is it that serious and is that the right thing to do? >> well, is it that serious? it is that serious. that the right thing to do tomorrow or the next day? i think not. i think you have to lay some groundwork here. i mean, the united states can't just jump up one morning and say, okay, let's go drop some bombs on the syrian tanks. there has to be a legal

foundation laid. there has to be some understanding with the gulf states, with the arab league and there also has to be a better understanding of exactly who you're helping and how you're helping them. i think it is imperative to help. i'm very sympathetic with john mccain's passion about this. i think we all share a sense of deep frustration. nobody wants to be sitting on the sidelines watching people be killed against at thtyrannical efforts. you have to do this in a responsible way. i think the administration is reaching out now. they're trying to get a better identity of the syrian national council, of the leadership. we're trying to identify more effectively the syrian -- free syrian army personnel. we need to get them united. they're not even united with one voice yet, charlie. there are serious questions about the -- you know, syria is

not libya. they have a very sophisticated missile defense system, air defense system, that is, and they have a stronger military. there are different questions about who we're dealing with. let's go -- we're working, i think everybody is working, the administration, the congress to answer those questions and to approach this in as responsible a way as possible. must something be done? yes. particularly with respect to humanitarian efforts. >> how long would the humanitarian crisis as it is, how long do you have to get an answer to those questions? >> well, let me -- i think no matter what anybody does, this situation is unfortunately going to continue for some period of time. president assad is running low on his reserves, on the money reserves. i think there is a building opposition. hopefully we can persuade the russians to join us in a significant effort here. the russian chinese veto

unfortunately gave a kind of get out of jail card to the assad regime and licensed some of what has happened. i think that's recognized, hopefully we can have a more united front, move quickly on the humanitarian front, and move quickly to try to unify the opposition and deal with known entities. >> let me turn to your op ed about mitt romney, the republican candidate. you made the point that there are not the kind of differences between him and president obama on iran. do you see no differences at all between candidate romney and president obama? >> oh, i see a profound difference. the difference is president obama is acting like a president, a commander in chief and like a states person and mitt romney is behaving like an irresponsible candidate, frankly, because everything that he layed out in his op ed president obama is already doing. . so what he's doing is setting up straw men basically trying to just argue a case, say i'm

strong, you're weak, without any evidence supporting it whatsoever, charlie. everything that mitt romney laid out that he said he might do president obama has done or is in the middle of expanding. sanctions are tightening and expanding. president obama has taken the nuclear threat seriously, more seriously than any other president in the sense that he is securing loose nuclear material around the world and set a goal of doing all of that within four years. he has isolated iran. iran is more isolated than ever before. the sanctions are tougher than any sanctions that have ever been put in place. i just think this is not a time for politics. it is a time for a responsible, nonpolitical america united approach to a very serious chal colle leng and we need to find a diplomatic solution. >> thank you for joining us. >> thank you, sir.

let the peyton manning sweeps stakes begin. a few hours after his career with the indianapolis colts ended yesterday, the star quarterback arrived in florida where he also has a home. the miami dolphins are one of several teams hoping to sign manning. in an emotional news conference manning says he leaves indianapolis with nothing but good thoughts. >> i haven't thought yet about where i'll play, but i have thought a lot about where i've been. i've truly been blessed. i've been blessed to play here. i've been blessed to be in the nfl. as i go, i go with just a few words left to say, a few words i want to address to colts fans everywhere. thank you very much from the bottom of my heart. i truly have enjoyed being your quarterback. >> with us now, peter king, senior writer for "sports illustrated" and bill could

youer, former coach for the pittsburgh steelers. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> did it almost make you tear up when you saw peyton manning almost tearing up. >> it was an emotional thing to watch, charlie, because that guy is such a control freak that he doesn't tear up. you know, he just gets the job done and that's why it stunned me. it was a very emotional ta. >> what do we know about his injury and how physical he is impaired in terms of the kind of greatness he's shown us on the field? >> charlie, i think the fact is he knows his strength is back. he's talking about his throwing and workouts. all indications are that the strength is back. until he takes a hit, until he gets in there in the middle of a game we won't know what the long-term ramifications are of these four surgeries. i think there's a lot of questions out there about that. right now his health is very good. >> sitting next to me is a football fan. >> married to a colts fan who's having a rough morning today. how does that weigh into though this unknown in terms of what

happens when peyton takes that first hit? how does that weigh into any team's decision to pick him up? >> i think any team that signs him or really looks into him is not only going to have their regular team doctor but they're going to have an orthopaedist and several of their medical staff really look into him because there's no way you can sign him without knowing the physical condition of his neck. >> it's also unknown what you will have to pay for peyton manning. >> yeah, but that contract can be structured intelligently so that if he doesn't play more than, say, a year that it's not going to ruin your franchise for the next few years. >> what three places do you think he is most likely to go to? >> well, there's three places. two places i look at. i would say two. in the afc it's miami. i think you look at miami because of the weather, because of the conditions. he's been in a dome his entire career, 14 years. very good conditions to throw in. if there's any question at all about his throwing, why not go to another ideal situation. miami i would say the afc.

arizona, i think, in the nfc. in a dome. arizona has an offense that also has catered to a veteran quarterback in kurt warner. >> what should be factored into his decision. if you were him, how do you look at it? >> i'm looking at a place that's going to win. i don't think money is going to be a factor. he's played a long time. a place where he has a chance to win, win a championship. >> the new york jets. >> charlie, you live in new york. >> he roots for the giants. >> what's wrong with that? why wouldn't that be a perfect choice? come to new york. play with his brother here. the two of them, it would be a great -- >> to me, again, it's obviously speaking sellishly, cbs, i've love to see him in new york. his brother is in the same city. i think mark sanchez is a good quarterback. >> of course he is but he would be better with several years under peyton manning. >> miami, the owner steven ross has been guilted two years by coaches he has wanted.

he's failed to get either one. he is basically told the people in his organization, we've got to go get peyton manning even if it means going out and getting one of his best friends, reggie wayne. >> it won't be money for peyton manning, is it? >> i think money is going to play a part. >> i have to cut you off or we're going to get in big trouble. thank you. we'll give you a quick look at some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. "the new york times" has a story on the last days of osama bin laden and the house where he lived in pakistan. a retired pakistani army officer says there was trouble after bin laden's oldest wife moved into that house. some relatives believe she was there to betray him. the australian newspaper reports on flooding in sydney after the heaviest rains in five years. hundreds of homes have been

quiet subdivision here both grieving and frustrated. their unarmed teenage son was killed here and what they can't understand is why the gunman is still free when he has admitted pulling the trigger. >> he was lying right here? >> tracy martin's teenage son was shot dead on this patch of grass ten days ago and the gunman belonged to a neighborhood watch group. >> it must be odd to be here, huh? >> it is. >> 17-year-old trayvon martin, tray to his family, lived in miami. he loved horses and dreamed of becoming a pilot. this high school junior was visiting relatives last month when he was shot and kid inside this gated subdivision of town homes. >> he meant the world to me. he meant the world to his mother. it's just sad that he's been taken away from us. >> around 7:00 p.m. on sunday, february 26th, martin was walking the half mile back from this 7-eleven store where he bought an iced tea and a bag of skittles. at 7:17, 26-year-old george zimmerman a neighborhood watch

member called police to report a suspicious person inside the subdivision. a dispatcher told zimmerman police were on the way and to let them handle it. but just two minutes later, six neighbors dialed 911 to report a fight and then a gunshot. >> tray martin shot once in the chest, laid dead on this walkway just 70 yards from the home where he was staying. he was unarmed. >> he was just up here just to relax and he wasn't up here to return home in a body bag. that's just a part that really tears me up. >> when tray was only nine, he pulled his father from a burning kitchen. >> he was my hero, you know what i'm saying? my son saved my life. for me not to be able to save his life is just -- is hard.

>> sanford police have questioned zimmerman but not charged him. he had a legal permit to carry his concealed weapon. a .9 millimeter handgun. for now, he's a free man maintaining he acted in self-defense. >> zimmerman admitted shooting him? >> correct. >> he was armed and the victim was not armed? >> that's correct. >> but no arrest? >> no arrest. >> police chief bill lee says no one saw how or why the fight began. >> is the key question whether zimmerman acted in self-defense? >> yes. >> and that's what you have yet to establish? >> that's what we have yet to establish. we're trying to gather all of the information. >> tracy martin is sure that approximate anyone was trying to defend himself, it was his son. >> why would he attack this guy? he don't know this guy. what he going to attack him with, a pack of skittles. >> you understand their frustration. >> absolutely. i have a 16-year-old son and i

couldn't imagine having to experience what they're experiencing. >> george zimmerman is a college student majoring in criminal justice. neighbors and police say he's lived somewhere else since the shooting. we couldn't reach him or find any trace of him online.

>> raised in a proud military family, lisa first tried to enlist last november weighing 172 pounds on her 5'2" frame. i was eating too much, on the go. i was eating out a lot. >> too heavy forearm i standards. >> go ahead. >> she needed to slim down. >> after four month on a new diet, daily running, lifting weights, lisa has dropped 22 pounds. still, not enough. based on the army's formula combining height, gender and age, lisa must lose four more pounds. >> got you at 32%. >> 32%. >> recruiter sergeant laura peterson is inspired by lisa's pro fres, she says the growing waistline of americans is shrinking those qualified to serve. >> have you seen the problem getting worse? >> definitely. the population is getting bigger. they don't move as much. >> 27% of 17 to 24-year-olds are too overweight for military service. over the past 50 years, the

number of women considered ineligible due to weight has tripled. the number of men doubled. >> not just a major health issue, it's a national security issue. >> it's a battle within the military says james barnett, retired rear admiral. teaming up with 300 of his colleagues, he's fighting a new war against obesity with a powerful ally. first lady michelle obama recently announced sweeping changes to improve nutrition standards to 1.5 million troops at 1100 military dining facility across the country. >> we talk about nutrition, we're talking about healthy bodies, but also about healthy minds. nutrition affects strong bodies, strong minds. we need both. >> lisa's strong will is getting her close to making the cut. she hopes to be one example of how america's weight problem can be corrected. >> giving up is not an option. >> not at this point. huh-uh. >> so what happens first of all,

welcome. >> good to be here. >> what happens if they gain the weight back? >> this is a big problem. lisa davenport would be the first to admit, the big challenge is keeping it off. she's going back to enlist next week for example. she's confident she can lose a couple of pounds. if she can't keep it off, she will be kicked out. they deal with this every day. they have to monitor the soldiers and make sure they're fit enough to fight on a consistent basis. >> let's bring in jose andres. he's a an advocate for health. welcome. >> hello. charlie. happy to be back. >> this has been your cause. tell us ha we node to do and what do we need to do now? >> first of all, charlie, i am so happy that the military are getting involved on this. actually, we need to tell americans that more than 60

retired admiral and generals created organization that they call mission readiness. what they are doing is actively going behind congress, going behind the white house, telling them we have to start providing the right lunches to our children. we need the children healthy. so what they are asking for is very simple. let's start putting junk food out of the schools. no sugary drinks. no high calorie diets with very low nutrient diet. let's bring more vegetables,let bring more fruits forward. if we start doing this at the school level, maybe when we receive the young recruits, we will have healthy americans joining the military. >> chef shall one. issues for a number of americans is access to these foods. people know what they're supposed to eat and know how to be healthier, but they can't

always get those vegetables. how is that being addressed? >> well, what you are mentioning right here is what we call the food desert. areas around america where people don't have easy access to fruits and vegetables. this is the paradox of the american food policy. the usda, the u.s. department of agriculture under the leadership has changed over the last few years, the dietary guidelines. they are really pushing for more fruit and vegetables. now congress has to be listening to what the department of agriculture is saying. the subsidies that we are giving away to corn and to wheat and to the other two or three cereals are not the same subsidies we're giving to fruits and vegetables. so we need to be start treating fruits and vegetables in the same way we treat any other commodity. if we don't bring those prices

lower, we don't make sure that americans have access to healthier fruits and vegetables, we are going to have a problem for the years to come. so we need to change today. >> whit, the military pervasively across the board is seriously committed to this? >> very committed. in fact, they're taking the lead on this. i was talking about with first lady's michelle obamas office and they say dod cares deeply about this. they have a new campaign hoping to unveil in the next five months or so. again, the dod has limits. everybody knows, everybody agrees that the real issue is childhood obesity. while the dod is implementing programs and better nutrition for some of the soldiers who are already in, what do you do for those in the future armed services. that's why they're trying to get the word out, working with michelle obama and retired generals to implement some of these programs. >> got to start young.

nice to have you at the table, whit. chef andreas, always a pleasure. >> thank you. before you pre-order your ipad, stick around. we'll look at the new features. see why some people are saying, maybe i'm a little disappointed. you're watching "cbs this morning." cbs "healthwatch" sponsored by osteo bi-flex. it helps lubricate your joints to support mobility.

alzheimer's disease takes a terrible toll, robbing patients of their memory, their minds and ultimately their life. a new report says it will cost the u.s. $200 billion, 200 billion with a b, this year alone. more than 5 million americans now have alzheimer's. >> dr. gary small director of the longevity center has a new plan to fight it. his book, the alzheimer's prevention program, keep your brain healthy for the rest of your life. good morning. >> good morning. >> can we just say, charlie, before you start, you're the only one at the table who said that's a beautiful brain scan. have you ever heard those words? >> that was a first. i hadn't looked at it. i didn't know what he was talking about. we don't have a brain scan here. i thought it was something i didn't know. obviously the idea that we can do something to prevent alzheimer's is good news for lots of people because of the

overwhelming number of statistics we see because of living longer and secondly, the amount of money being spent to try to find some kind of cure and/or prevention. >> we have 80 million baby boomers who just last year started turning 65. so we have a wave of people who are at risk. age is a single greatest risk factor and people are concerned about their everyday memories, what they can do about it. if we just took 1% of the $200 billion we're spending each year, that would make a big difference. that would be $2 billion for alzheimer's research. right now we're spending $6 billion on cancer research. we really need to invest more in research to find a cure. but while we're waiting for science to catch up, there is something we can do. genetics accounts for only part of the risk for developing alzheimer's disease. that means that nongenetic factors, brain healthy lifestyles, decisions we make

every day can have an impact on how our brains age. possibly delay the onset of symptoms. >> we should be doing what? >> we should be doing physical exercise, we should be doing mental exercise. eat a brain healthy diet, manage our stress. when we combine these strategies, the science tells us that there's a possibility we can delay the onset of symptoms. maybe one, two, four or more years. for many people that would mean never getting the symptoms in their life. >> some people have said and argued that one of the tranl disof always mimers is by the time you recognize you have, it's too late to delay it. >> scientists are trying to develop treatments that will protect a rehealthy brain rathe than try to repair brain cells once they've died. that's our strategy at ucla. many people are using that strategy and that's the strategy

of the alzheimer's prevention program, to engage in brain healthy lifestyles to protect a healthy brain. so simple things. like taking a brisk walk every day. 20, 30 minutes a day. >> most people can do that. i'm more knocked out by the numbers that you brought. the millions and mms illions of dollars. why does it cost so much? >> you have so many people, 5.4 million people with alzheimer's disease in this country. 10, 20 million with mild cognitive impairment at risk. care-givers have to take care of them. they use up more medicare dollars. more likely to end up in the emergency room, not follow their medical illnesses. there's lots of complications to the illness. it means that we really have to be aggressive about this disease and do something about it. >> great to see you. thank you so much. wise words for those people faced with what many people think is an incpefully we're cl.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." the nfl has been in the headlines this past week for a number of reasons. from the bounty hunter scandal to peyton manning's release from the colts. one player who may catch a few passes from manning if the quarterback epds up in miami is

star receiver brandon marshall. >> best known as one of the nfl's bad boys off the field. been arrested for drunk driving, domestic violence issues and for years called an underachiever. borderline personality disorder explains much of his behavior. >> he finished the 2011 as mvp of the pro bowl after finishing his treatment. brandon marshall, we welcome you. listen, the story on you was not so good for a long time. he was very angry, has a screw loose, what's wrong with him. did you think that you had a problem? >> at first, no. it was a lot of rectifying and defensiveness. >> did you think i'm just mad? >> honestly, you know, i didn't know what was going on. at first, it was pointing the finger at everyone else. and it wasn't until this past off season that i finally

recognized, got the proper help that there was some things that i needed to change and work on. >> what did they tell you borderline personality disorder was or is? >> it's an emotional disorder. it's highly stigmatized. one of the most stigmatized disorders out there but most treatable. clinicians and professionals are scared of it because they're not trained properly and it's an emotional disorder. with the proper help and skills, you can live an effective healthy life. >> tell us what you were like. i really want to know what you were like. >> basically, there was no filter. you know, my nickname -- i would disagree with you, i wouldn't say i was an underachiever. that's one of the things -- >> in my introduction. at a pro bowl, broke a few records. one of the highest paid -- >> i stand corrected. >> to say this, with all of that said, you know, off the field

things are just in shambles. you know, my nickname i received the nickname the beast and you got to have a switch. you have to be able to turn that light switch off when you walk off the field and i was the beast on the field and off. >> then you were diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and you're campaigning now to create awareness about it. >> yeah. >> what do you have to do now that you know you have this condition? >> well, the thing is, i went through intensive program, intensive treatment last year. >> you went through therapy, didn't you? >> we should really talk about that. because it's very unusual for black men in particular to admit that they have a problem. to seek out therapy and you're publicly saying, i needed treatment, i went to therapy. >> yeah. that process was kind of difficult for me in two ways. it was very exciting time of my life because i truly believed

that i'm not here on this earth just to catch passes and break records. i'm here to use my celebrity and this platform to be a voice. and you know, to go public and to make my situation more vulnerable was very scary. but so far, we have helped thousands of people and we're excited about it and we look forward to moving on. >> she raises a good point. what about other players, how have they responded to the fact that you're out front? >> like gayle said, therapy was huge for me. it not only gave me a different perspective on myself and life but also, you know, being able to help others. other players. there's been referees that pulled me to the side before the game that talked to me about issues with their wife or themselves or -- >> pulling you aside, saying,

hey, thank you for speaking out i got the same problem. >> yeah. we've gotten calls out of facility if hall of fame players and guys around the league that may be in the same situation or maybe need a direction to work towards and getting help for a family member or themselves. >> i want to talk about the status of your marriage. because it was widely reported there was a domestic incident at your house. your wife stabbed you and was charged with stabbing you. but she is here today. >> yes. >> she's here today. it says to me that the two of you have worked it out. >> well, yes. >> how are you two navigating? >> that was reported that it was a stabbing. that's what the police report said. but like i said, it's not about a single incident. the entirety of this situation, you know, my wife is an amazing woman. like you say, she's here today. she's still beside me because she took a lot of -- she took a

lot from the media and our community and made her look to be a bad person. it was me. >> you want to correct that. >> i want to correct that. my wife, with this disorder, it's not just the patient ho suffers, it's the families. the circle. it's the friends. >> i am still trying to figure out exactly what it is, though, charlie. do you -- i still don't understand what you do or how you behave. i'm trying to figure out exactly what it is. >> borderline personality disorders presents itself in hundreds of ways. my story is different than everyone else's. for me, you know, there was a lot of isolation, there was some depression. i couldn't regulate my emotions. like i said, i was a beast on the field and a beast off the field. >> speaking of a beast on the field, what can you tell us about this bounty business? >> the bounty business?

you know what, it's football. there is a fraternity, there's a brotherhood where you want to protect guys because we're fighting for the same reason. we're fighting for guys that came before us and after us. but you want to protect each other. but at the same time, you know, it's a violent game. like i said, i've said before -- >> you're an offensive player we should point out. >> the best ones, they have that knack for contact. >> peyton manning, how bad do you want peyton manning to be there and how bad would you like to have -- to know that if in fact you go out to do your pattern, one of the great players could put it in your hands? >> well, it would be a privilege to play with a quarterback, better yet a person -- >> my guess is it would be better than a privilege. >> we have a quarterback under contract now. >> with great respect to him, of course. tell me this. to be a wide receiver, the quarterback has to put the ball

where you're going to be, not where you are. >> yeah. >> are those passes really hard? do they just float into your hands? >> you know, depends. depends on the quarterback. you got guys like jay cutler who may break a finger every once in a while and you got guys like pennington who is going to place it in your hand like it was a loaf of bread. >> we would prefer the floating loaf of bread. thanks for speaking, brandon. >> thank you for speaking out. >> very nice to meet you. it is a great day in studio 57. we've had sarah,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,

came up with the socket. you're holding the socket. >> i am. >> nice to see you guys. >> nice to see you. thank you for having us. >> first you think harvard and brainiacs. which of course you are that. what's fascinating to me about this story, you decided to take a class not for engineering majors. you went in the class and you did what? you thought what? >> well, we both had the background in kind of developing contacts and -- jessica is nigerian. we had not the technical expertise to draw on but our stories. we took stories from the village. everybody had this strong love of soccer. but almost nobody has consistent access to electricity. >> i mean, the class was basically art science, using that to effect change. we didn't have the science side but we understood the art. we knew there was a beauty in play. that that happiness was something that we should try to harness and amplify.

>> how does it work? imt think it's simple. it's off high school fiscal eex. harnesses kinetic nrm. inside the ball there's a gyroscope that's rolling as the ball is also rolling. then it harnesses that kinetic energy that's generated during play, stores it in a battery. then you can plug appliances into it. >> we brought one of our lights today and you turn it on. >> isn't that cool. >> say you bounce it around 15 minutes. you could have a light for how long to read by? >> it depends for who is playing. usually 30 minutes of play, gives you three hours of led light with our mass produced led lights. >> go ahead. >> the smaller ones. >> i'm doing show and tell. >> this is actually a model. we have to have a new model coming out. we're releasing it in june. that's the one that's going to be that much more energy

efficient. will be able to power your cell phone and iphone. >> which is huge. one of the things that struck me when i was in kenya at a refugee camp. everybody has a cell phone. you don't have electricity if nothing else. but everybody has a cell phone. >> i had to update my cell phone because my cousins were laughing at me. they're in nigeria. they're like, wow, that's your phone. >> is it expensive? >> funny enough, our new version is going to be one-third the cost of what people are normally spending on one kerosene lamp over the year. it's cost effective for the end user and definitely unbelievably cost effective for what you pay for a soccer ball. >> give me a number, jessica. how much is that? >> a family for kerosene, which is the alternative to electricity for many people around the world, they can spend 10 to 30% of their annual income just on kerosene. again, that's not very long. we don't have an exact number yet for what we're offering the ball for wholesale and

eventually later this year, to everyone in any community. but it is going to be about the same price as a mid to high end soccer ball. >> do you know sarah blakely? >> yeah. met her in the green room. i told her during the early proto tie typing, tightening in materials that were revolved. there are a few prototypes. >> this is someone who does good and entrepreneurial idea as well. like spanx. >> there is no reason why you can't do it. >> where is the ball actually being -- you can buy them on your webb site. $60 buy a ball and sent somewhere else. where are those places it's being used? >> in central america and africa primarily right now. we don't have any geographical bias. that's where we have funding. we're always looking for supporters. we're in mexico, el salvador, south africa, heading to haiti

and the gambia later this year. >> thinking outside the bobbing. thank you. >> jessica and julia, thanks. thank you. >> jessica and julia, thanks. that does it for us,,,,,,,,,,

early sunday morning. no suspects. police are asking for help in leads. forecast getting warmer let's find out how warm with lawrence. take it away. >> thank goodness, a chilly start to the day around the bay area. temperatures beginning to warm you outside. high pressure sitting overhead. clear skies all the way to the coastline right now. these next couple of days will be something else here in the bay area. enjoy it. we have some major changes coming our way. but that ridge continues sitting overhead clearing out your skies today and the next couple of days. but after that, things change. we are expecting highs as high as 73 degrees in santa rosa. about 71 in livermore. 60s out toward the immediate coastline. i think tomorrow almost a carbon copy. you will start out chilly early on but by the afternoon again looking at 60s and 70s. the sea breeze kicks back in on saturday. and then late in the day on sunday, a storm system drops into the bay area bringing with it a chance of showers. that could open the door to more storms coming our way next week. all right. we are going to check out your "timesaver traffic" next. ,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,
