[ booing ] >> we wish him all the best in the new project, ruling the country of venezuela.

>> welcome to "cbs this morning." more than 1,000 flights on the east coast have been canceled. huge storm is dumping snow on the nation's capital and the mid-atlantic. >> the storm is expected to hit virginia and washington especially hard. chip reid is in leesburg virginia, out in the elements. chip good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning, norah and charlie. in leesburg the snow started a little after midnight. i peeked out the window 4:00 a.m., barely any snow at all. now it is coming down seriously. we have about three inches. we're expecting up to a foot of snow here. this is the biggest snowstorm they've had in this region in more than two years, also the biggest snowstorm they've had in chicago which was slammed by this storm yesterday. more than 1,000 flights were canceled at chicago area airports. hundreds of schools were closed. in minnesota more than 200 crashes on highways were

responded to by state police and in wisconsin, a semitruck slid off the road one person was killed when that truck went into a river, and in all those midwestern states, tens of thousand thousands, if not millions of students had the day off. here in virginia and across the river in maryland what they're really worried about is this. take a look. this snow is so heavy, it's perfect for making snowballs but it is terrible for trees and power lines. they're all weighted down already. there is an armada of power trucks standing by. after hurricane sandy this area had millions of people without power, they're hoping to avoid that this time around. charlie and norah? >> chip reid thanks. we head to washington where the storm is shutting down much of the town and nancy cordes is on capitol hill. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the snow started coming down in the district about an hour ago and it is heavy and wet as advertised. earlier this morning, federal officials announced that they

would be closing all d.c. area federal offices today, and d.c. area schools are closed as well. the house of representatives behind me moved up all its votes for the rest of the week so house members could try to get out of here for the weekend this afternoon, but that's going to be difficult. 1,300 flights in the d.c. area at the three regional airports have been canceled and sure to be more cancellations through the rest of the day. d.c. area commuter rail lines shut down today as well. d.c. is famous for having difficulty dealing with snow we don't get that much of it people aren't that used to driving in it so even an inch of snow can foul up traffic. we've gotten 3.5 inches of snow in d.c. in the past two winters combined and we could see more of that today, though the good news is that temperatures will be up through the 50s and 60s by the weekend. norah and charlie? >> nanny cordes thank you. and cbs news weather consultant david bernard, how

bad is the storm going to get? >> let's start with where the storm is now. it's very tricky. nancy had an accurate report. where we see the pink running along 95 from baltimore to d.c. that is snow and rain mixing where chip is further to the north and west it's snow into northern virginia, west virginia and maryland but all of this snow is getting ready to move to the east later today and we expect it to increase in intensity in the baltimore, washington, d.c. corridor. the mountains to the west over a foot of snow baltimore, d.c., 6 to 12, southeastern new england 6 to 12 inches of snow and everywhere in between including the tri-state area maybe up to six inches but even that is going to be on the tricky side we're also monitoring the potential for coastal flooding along the jersey shoreline. >> david bernard thanks. the bulls continued their run on wall street yesterday, the dow opened up about 35 minutes ago at a record high,

the stock index recovered the losses it suffered in the great recession despite government gridlock, high unemployment and rising gas prices. anthony mason is with us. what's going on? >> the fed has pumped $3 trillion into the economy, corporate profits soaring up almost as much as the market during that same period in time. we've seen unemployment edging down and we have the latest housing numbers yesterday, house prices up almost 10% in january from a year ago, that's the best growth we've seen since 2006. you put all that together and you've got a very happy market. >> still reasons to be cautious? and skeptical? >> it's interesting, this is the most sedate reaction on wall street i've seen to a record high. there's still a lot of skeptics out there, in part because people are worried about what the fed is going to do. with all this money they've pumped in, at some point they are going to take it out. the question is when and how are they going to do it. lot of people feel some of the air will come out of the worked

when it happens. >> the stock may be high but a lot of people are still in pain. >> someone said in the "eye opener" the market is not the economy. the economy is not as giddy as the market is but the market is looking ahead. lot of people on wall street believe next year could be strong in the u.s. economy and we might see real job growth with it. >> does that mean perhaps a relief for people who are looking for jobs with unemployment still pretty high? >> this is what we've been waiting for and this is why the fed said they're not going to start pulling money out yet. they're trying to bring down unemployment which is almost double what it was before this all began and to do that they're trying to keep interest rates low. the market is a reflection of maybe things are getting better and hopefully the jobless rate will come down. >> anthony mason good to see you, thank you. the rules are changing for flyers, not everyone is happy about it. starting late next month, passengers will be allowed to board commercial flights with knives, something that hasn't happened since the september 11th attack.

bob orr is at reagan national airport. good morning, some people are not happy about this. >> reporter: good morning. this say partial rollback of a key security policy put in place after 9/11. after an al qaeda hijackers used box cutters to hijack four jetliners the u.s. government banned all knives on passenger planes. over the last 12 years, millions of knives have been confiscated at airport checkpoints. now the ban is being relaxed. effective april 25th, air travelers will be permitted to carry small folding pocket knives, as long as blades are no longer than 2.36 inches and no wider than half an inch. box cutters and larger knives will still be banned but flight attendants say even small knives present a threat. >> when you look back before 9/11 all it took was box cutters coming through. this point knives small knives all the same to us. >> stacy martin represents

flight attendants at southwest airlines. >> they're lieuing the items to come through and putting the responsibility of the cabin completely on us even though they know coming through security are these items. >> reporter: the transportation security administration argues the change brings u.s. regulations in line with international safety rules and there allow security officers to spend more time looking for higher threat items, like explosives. >> this really is a good decision. >> reporter: former ntsb chairman mark rosenker says security has to stay focused on the real danger. >> we've seen underwear that can blow up shoes they've attempted to blow up. we've seen people that have all kinds of chemicals that potentially could blow up. they really need to be looking at the kinds of threats that are significantly more lethal than a two and a half inch blade. >> reporter: interestingly the small folding knives passengers will be able to take golf clubs, lacrosse sticks and the reasoning is with hardened

cockpits, more air marshals and armed pilots those items can't be used to hijack airplanes. job losses border security and pay, but now the fight over automatic government spending cuts is focusing on things like white house tours and golf games. bill plante is at the white house. bill, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. and good morning out west. now remember those budget cuts known as the sequester were never supposed to happen. they were supposed to be so unpalateable neither party would let them happen but they did and each side is blaming the other like crazy and now it's come to this. white house tours? republicans in congress are furious. they smell payback, why? because the only way to get white house tour tickets is through your congressman or senator and now they've been canceled. the word went out tuesday from the white house visitors office which told members of congress due to staffing reductions, we regret to inform you that white

house tours will be canceled. the secret service says that reassigning their officers who normally conduct the tours will reduce overtime costs and may reduce furloughs. republicans who have accused the president of overdramatizing the effect of the budget cuts erupted, they point out the white house spends tens of thousands of dollars on parties and christmas decorations every year. congressman gilmert of texas is threatening retaliation to the president where it really hurts, his passion for golf. he wants to cut off the president's golf outings in the deal to keep the government funded through the end of the fiscal year. >> none of the funds made available by a division of this act may be used to transport the president to or from a golf course until public tours of the white house resume. >> reporter: house speaker john boehner stepped up to the plate in an e-mail to his constituents saying while i'm disappointed the white house has chose on it

comply with sequestration by cutting public tours i'm pleased to assure you that public tours of the united states capitol will continue. other republicans joined the invitation, eager to show that they wouldn't try to save money by inconveniencing tourists. >> come to the senate come to the house, come to the capitol. >> reporter: now the white house made this decision and they say it's all about keeping secret service officers from having to take unpaid leave but even democrats are skeptical that this is all for real. the "wall street journal" column today reports that despite the budget cuts, the agricultural department is underwriting a conference in california which features a banquet and a tasting of what it calls exceptional local wine. and by the way, there's no real threat to the president's trips to the golf course but the back and forth shows how petty things have gotten. >> bill plante thank you. at the vatican, the cardinals who will elect the new pope don't seem to be in any hurry. one cardinal says the date of the conclave has not been decided yet and two cardinals still haven't even shown up.

mark phillips is in vatican city, good morning. >> reporter: good morning norah and charlie. the church does not move quickly. the cardinals said they have a lot to discuss even before they get around to filling the world's most famous job they can seat and that's the way it's turning out but they say there's a reason they're moving this slowly. it's a question of pay me now or pay me later. according to many of the cardinals who are meeting for the third straight day, the more they talk now in what they call their congregation the quicker they say the actual conclave will go, whenever they get down to vote and while they scurried to and fro in rome the man who caused the excitement by resigning former pope benedict has been taking a quiet stroll on the grounds of the papal retreat outside town. this picture courtesy of the italian celebrity magazine which normally spies on topless princesses but if the winds are change are actually blowing through the church, the

cardinals are feeling their way as to how to respond. papal resignations child abuse scandals dysfunctional church government, these are concerns that can take time. the cardinals have all taken an oath of secrecy but the church has a problem with leaks these days so it's just as well to pick up the morning paper on the way to work to find out who's saying what. as the preparations continue to turn the sistine chapel into the world's most elaborating decorating polling booth the last of the 115 cardinal electors who will choose the new pope are due to arrive over the next day or so. that will remove the last legal impediment to holding the conclave, but the landscape of potential candidates is still vast and the game is still to deny you have ambition. or in the case of boston's cardinal sean o'malley to say you're not contemplating trading in your friar's robe for more papal attire. >> i have worn this uniform for over 40 years and i presume i will wear it until i die, and,

because i don't expect to be elected pope. >> reporter: not all of the action that's taking place behind closed doors, the child abuse survivors has put out a list what have they call the dirty dozen cardinals should not be considered for the job of pope because of their involvement they say in the church's child abuse coverup. there are three american cardinals on that controversial list. norah, charlie? >> mark phillips thanks. a public funeral will be held in caracas, venezuelan president hugo chavez died yesterday after a two-year battle with cancer. he befriended america's enemies during his nearly 14 years in power. he used his country's vast oil wealth to fund social problems which made him popular among venezuela's core. zbl>> steve kroft interviewed chavez for "60 minutes."

>> here is the way you're perceived in the united states in people a mixture between fidel castro and juan gueron april demagogue, dictator. >> translator: i have been compared to hitler sort of mix between mussolini and who knows, the devil himself, and what i do is juggle for a people. i am a true democrat. >> there are people who have suggested that you are somewhat loco. >> translator: well, i don't want to compare, but they said that columbus was crazy. i am aware that people say that about me but i think that there are other people far crazier than i am. >> incredible it was just last year that they said that venezuela has larger oil reserves than saudi arabia. venezuela matters. >> it did, and the other

thing -- >> it does. >> it did and does and because of his controversial nature and because he was so high profile in terms of what he did, he's one of the few latin american leaders most people's name would recognize. >> absolutely. >> but led a divided country that is in crisis. >> exactly. now it is time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. "the washington post" says the u.s. military is not prepared for a full-scale cyberwar. the defense department study warns the pentagon must ramp up its defense and offense against the cyber attack. the panel of civilian and military experts warns a cyber attack combined with conventional war ware foo severely weaken the ability of the forces in the field. "usa today" say there are a number of anti-government militias in the country, spurred by the battle of gun control, their numbers reached an all-time high last year and continue to grow.

"the new york times" says funding for state and localal colleges goes down and costs go up. "the times" looks at speculation whether the duchess of came bringbridge is having a daughter. rumored swirled yesterday when she thanked the woman for a teddy bear and appeared to begin to say the word daughter. here is the reaction. >> no, no no i'm sure i'm sure we don't know, so. >> a spokeswoman for prince william's office has no comment. the baby our weather very interesting around the bay area today a neat started to the day. the cold front is gone by. now we have puffy cumulus clouds. we are going to see more of that throughout the day with

>> your realtime captioner: linda marie macdonald good morning, everyone. 7:26 on your wednesday. i'm frank mallicoat. get you updated on some bay area headlines now. san francisco police are still on the scene of a standoff that's been going on all morning long in the bayview. they have arrested at least two suspects in a robbery of a medical marijuana dispensary. at least one more suspect is believed to be barricaded in a building near jennings and wallace. no injuries have been reported. a patient at san mateo medical center is being evaluated after allegedly setting fires in his room last night. damage was confined to that one hospital room but nearby patients had to be evacuated.

got your traffic and weather forecast coming up right after the break.

good morning. we are watching a crash right now. they are having to do one-way traffic control near eastbound 92 approaching highway 35. so expect some delays around that area. 280 itself is still at the limit. over at the bay bridge, we have had a busy morning, a couple of stalls. it's been slick in spots, the bay bridge wind advisory has been canceled but it's still backed up into the maze. that is traffic. for your forecast, here's lawrence. >> we continue to see some scattered showers around the bay area on our high-def doppler radar. of course, that cold front moving through overnight bringing with it some heavy rainfall and some strong gusty winds. showers now showing up in parts of the north bay and also down into monterey peninsula but

looks like we are going to watch this on and off throughout the day today into the afternoon, temperatures in the 50s.

a couple is under arrest after leading police on a chase through two states. a suspect stole a police cruiser in philadelphia and took off nearly hitting a woman on the street. later the car eventually hit parked cars when the stop ended. it began in new jersey when they stole a different police car. they managed to stop the car and arrest one person but the other managed to swipe the cruiser. there it is. welcome back to "cbs this morning." police chiefs across the country are dealing with bad apples in their own departments. >> they're finding it nearly impossible to fire some of their

own officers in part because of arbitration and senior rules. our senior correspondent john miller served in ranking positions at both the l.a. and new york police departments. >> in rare cases they're fired, but often that is not end of the the story. officers appeal their cases to state arbitrators, civil service boards and civilian commissions and many times end up back on the job. >> what? what? >> in oklahoma this police lieutenant was fired for cuffed this prisoner with his elbow in a mouth. here they beat a money outside a hospital. and in philadelphia this lieutenant was fired after smacking down a woman at a disorderly street festival. he has appealed to an arbitrator but his chances are good. in philadelphia nine oust ten cops fired by the police chief are reinstated by an outside

arbitrator. it's a problem across the country, which is frustrated police chiefs and sheriffs. have you fired people and had them come back? >> yes. and i believe that that's the process. >> los angeles county sheriff lee baca runs the biggest sheriff's department in the u.s. >> you've about got people that have come to the judgment that they shouldn't be out there and somebody's super seededseded your judgment. how does that feel? >> that our judgment becomes somewhat nonsignificant in these certain cases. >> ah my leg! >> in milwaukee, this officer was fired after he was caught by a dash cam punching this handcuffed woman in the face. the city commission overruled the chief and reinstated

officer. under pressure from an outraged community -- >> unanimous decision. >> -- a week later the police commissioner refired the officer. in spokane washington the sheriff has fired deputies only to see them back on the job. >> there is no clearly defined public policy against a law enforcement officer being dishonest. >> so this sheriff went to the washington state legislature to change the law. >> the only thing it changed in the law is that if an arbitrator finds that a deputy has committed these crimes or they have been dishonested, they can overturn the sheriff's discipline at that point yes, you have committed these crimes, but yoer ooh getting your job back. >> this legislation would allow a chief or sheriff to make an

accusation, investigate that accusation himself, be the judge and jury if that accusation was true and then be the executer of the discipline for that. >> but sheriff knezovich believes he is the one person responsible for the officers under his command. >> i'm accountable for over 471,000 people. they're the ones who will tell me when it's time to step back down. >> ozzie knezovich testified for his bill. it died quietly without ever getting to the floor for a vote. and chiefs and sheriffs in other cities are watching. >> what are the ramifications that they take these arbitrations to the board and always or most often lose? >> one of the ramifications is police chiefs have just given up on trying to fire people because it just doesn't work. take the case in philadelphia.

they had a police officer show up to work high on cocaine and drunk, took a police car, crashed it drunk and high and was fire and reinstated by the arbitrators. >> i mean this seems like the obvious question. who's on these arbitration boards? >> whether it's the civil service commission. in miami, there's a heavy influence from the union. in philadelphia there's an interesting makeup. but, you know they get to the place where one of the attorneys may also do work for the union, but they get to the place where they treat officers like other government employees, like gee, they have an otherwise good record, don't they deserve one more chance and the police chief is saying when they come back he's responsible. >> thank you. and nearly ten years after a stock trading scandal landed her in prison martha stewart was back in court. this time she was defending her personal reputation. michelle miller shows us the

tug-of-war between two giants over the mogul's media brand. >> reporter: self-assured martha stewart testified she did not breach her contact with macy's when she inked a deal with jc penney. she told the court, i keep looking at the even tire episode of this lawsuit wondering why. it's a contract dispute. it boggles my mind we're sitting in front of you, judge. penney's approached her in 2009 when she had not maximized the potential of her business as promised. sales stalled at $300 million, not the $400 million she'd hoped for, ail while her parent company endured its fifth straight year of losses. the 71-year-old said we got to a certain dollar amount and struggled and never got any furts. retail analyst brian sozzi.

>> they haven't done much with the brand. what jc penney is doing is make it interesting, getting more customers in the store. >> reporter: penney's even bought a 16% stake in it but macy's sees it as her turning her back on the contract forcing consumers to make a competitive choice. isn't a shopper less likely to walk to the other end of the mall and buy another martha stewart design? stewart answered they're going to buy where they feel comfortable shopping where the price is the best and they getting the very best quality. >> i think martha comes out a winner. she's gaining interest in her brand. but what i'm worried about is what if jc penny loses. >> reporter: known for her dry wit, when they asked how she did

it, she replied to her five-month jail stint and said i did my time. michelle miller cbs news new york. >> there's a contract that martha stewart has with macy's, and they're saying according to what we decided and what we agreed upon, we have exclusivity rights for the whole range of the martha stewart products and mar is that is saying, no you really don't and i'm here to contract with jcpenney for some of the other items i manufacture or license. >> macy's said they took a big chance on martha stewart where they invested in her right after she got out of jail. my question is why can't she be lie a ralph lauren where we can buy them in any store? >> the answer to the question is what did we agree to.

you're right. macy's says we took a risk. there should be loyalty. we feel betrayed. the argument is we contracted to keep it all with just macy's even though she may not like the deal she's contract with somebody else. martha stewart says no the stuff we're doing, it's outside. >> how the r the martha stewart companies doing? >> that's one of the problems. they're not doing well at all. loss over the last five years and macy's claiming you're trying to get out of this contract because you're looking to make more money with jc penney then you claim you're making with us. >> maybe the deal is better. >> a t better deal is always good for one person but not for the person getting better deals. >> it always comes down to the lawyers. jack ford thank you. health officials are warning

took years to build this business. the moment my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis started getting in the way that was it... it was time for a serious talk with my dermatologist. this time, he prescribed humira-adalimumab. humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. in clinical trials most adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b

are prone to infections or have symptoms such as fever fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. make the most of every moment. ask your dermatologist about humira, today. clearer skin is possible.

almost no privacy. in other words basically carnival cruise. >> yeah. >> steve colbert has great writers. >> absolutely. he's a very smart man. turning to something people are talking about, deadly super bugs are spreading in hospitals and other health care facilities across the country. the so-called nightmare bacteria officially known by the name of cre has been found in 42 states. they're resistant to even the strongest anti-bodies, killing the patient whose blood is infected. good morning. >> good morning. >> why do you call this a nightmare bacteria? >> it's basically a triple threat. first, it's resis tanlt to most anti-bodies, secondly it spends between patients and bacteria and third it kills up to almost half the people who get serious infection with it.

>> how is it spread? >> it's spread from person to person because health care workers haven't decontaminated the bed or equipment or washed their hands prop literature. they have a program called detect and protect which can stop it from spreading. >> so you're really concerned because of the question about whether this is treatable or not, right? >> yeah. unfortunately for some patients you know we sometimes talk about a preantibiotic era and an antibiotic era, in this case we have a post. we have created our last line of defense. that's a terrible problem. and if it spreads more widely it will be even more severe. >> who is most at risk? >> patients who are in the hospital, who are getti getting procedures or maybe in long-term facilities with ventilators in patients who are ill at this point are the ones who are getting it.

it hasn't yet spread into the community. that's why we're saying take steps now. we have a window of opportunity to stop this before it becomes more widespread. >> so you think this is on the responsibility of hospitals and those institutions to prevent this. >> there's smog that everyone can do. but furnld mentally at this point, hospital doctors, health care workers need to taket very seriously and implement the detect and protect strategy and find cases and stop them before they spread. because it's going to be much easier to prevent this from spreading than to try to treat it what a night it's been. the storm clouds have return. winter is back in the bay area. a lot of clouds in our skies this morning. couple of sunny breaks in between. the winds are blowing, howling overnight. still have scattered showers outside on our high-def doppler radar. the main cold front is gone. now we are going to see more scattered showers on and off throughout the day. you will see some of those

good morning. expect delays out of half moon bay. they just cleared an accident. they were doing some runway traffic control on eastbound 92 approaching highway 35 but it's still backed up in the eastbound lanes. elsewhere, let's go towards milpitas, silicon valley ride look at that in the red this morning. it's because of several fender- benders. a couple of spinouts we saw on westbound 237 between milpitas and sunnyvale. and out towards 880 in oakland, where it's actually light. light for this time of the morning as you pass the oakland coliseum. that's traffic. for your forecast, here's lawrence. >> a strong system moved by but still we are seeing scattered showers around the bay area. right now, got some clouds that are broken overlooking san jose. that's what we are going to see on and off throughout the day today. you will see sunshine, a few clouds and showers going to wander through. a hi-def hi-def doppler picking up on more raindrops right now, around the santa rosa area. more showers possible

throughout the day maybe even thunderstorms for tomorrow. i had my first cigarette when i was thirteen. when i found out how bad it was, i tried to quit. but i couldn't. they say nicotine isn't addictive. how can they say that?

it's 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." it is snowing in washington. new york and new england will be next. we're tracking the latest winter blast. eye-opening women. how's this for a lineup? valerie jarrett, condoleezza rice and lesley stahl are here to talk about getting women more power in politics. plus michael bolton talks about his new musical inspiration, motown. first here's a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> this is the biggest snowstorm they've had in this region in more than two years. >> a huge storm is dumping snow on the nation's capital and mid-atlantic.

>> the storm is expected to hit virginia and washington especially hard. >> officials announced that they would be closing all d.c. area federal offices today. >> the dow opened at a record high. the stock index has recovered all of the losses it suffered in the great recession despite government gridlock high unemployment and rising gas prices. >> this is the most sedate reaction on wall street i've seen to a record high. there's still a lot of skeptics out there. >> small folding knives passengers will soon be able to take golf clubs, ski clubs, lacrosse sticks. and those items simply can't be used to hijack airplanes. >> a church that measures its history does not move quickly. the cardinals have said they have a lot to discuss even before they get around to filling the world's most famous job they can see. >> break the rules or the law he or she is disciplined and in rare cases, but fire but often that is not the end of the story. >> martha stewart was back in court yesterday, this time defending her professional

reputation. >> even though she might not like the deal. >> how bad is the storm going to get? >> norah it's going to be very tricky. >> being called the snowquester. yeah democrats say it could be ten inches. republicans want it cut down to two. i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. gae gayle is back and i'm excited to hear her stories. >> i'm fatter and darker. >> no stories. >> you look gorgeous. the federal government in washington is taking a snow day. the winter storm that dumped several inches from north dakota to ohio is hitting the nation's capital. >> airlines have canceled more than 1,000 flights in the northeast and mid-atlantic. and chip reid is in snowy leesburg, virginia in the western suburbs of washington. chip, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, charlie, norah and gayle.

as you can see, it's really coming down here in virginia. this is the biggest snowstorm they've had in more than two years, just a few inches so far, but they're expecting a foot of snow. about an hour east of here in washington, d.c. not as much snow, but they closed the federal government. they also closed the schools in washington and in the surrounding suburbs. but the big worry is power. more than 100,000 homes and businesses in northern virginia have already lost power. this early in the storm. and here's why. this snow is incredibly wet and heavy. perfect for making snowballs. but it's also perfect for weighing down on power lines, and it's probably going to bring down a lot of trees. they have an armada of power trucks standing by to deal with the situation, to try to limit the number of people who lose power. charlie, norah and gayle? >> thank you chip. let's check in with david bernard. dave, where's the storm going now? >> gayle, the worst of the snow is right where chip is.

if we look at our radar, the rain/snow line is straddling the i-95 corridor still mixing with rain and snow from baltimore to d.c. north and west of there, it's heavy snow. and that's where the worst of it's likely to be. 6 to 12 in the baltimore, d.c. area. over a foot west of there in the mountains. and then another maximum in southeastern new england that could see 6 to 12 inches of snow there. we're also concerned about coastal flooding particularly along the jersey shore through tonight and into tomorrow morning. charlie, norah and gayle, back to you. >> david thank you. starting next month, airline passengers will be allowed to carry small pocketknives and certain sports equipment on board. the tsa decision reverses a ban put in effect after the september 11th attacks. flight attendants unions warn it will put their passengers and members at risk. cbs news travel editor peter greenberg is with us. peter, i begin with this question. why are the flight attendants so upset? >> well you know since 9/11 the kwok pit door's been secured, charlie, but the real

question for polite attendants it's not about terrorism. it's about safety in the air. they're worried about drunk passengers with golf clubs swinging around a 9 iron at 35,000 feet. not a pleasant thought for them. and they think they've got their hands full already with passengers who misbehave. this is what they didn't want to have happen. >> so if the flight attendants are concerned, why would they put the policy in place? shouldn't the flight attendants have some say? >> very few people were briefed on this. even the airlines said they were only briefed right before the tsa announced it. the airlines issued a statement saying they support the decision. it may be well intentioned but the problem, it's going to start a lot of confusion. when you look at rules starting next month you can bring a knife on the plane less than 2.3 inches in length. so does that mean you have to bring your own micrometer with you to the airport? the second it's not just golf clubs. they're letting you bring two clubs on the plane. as one flight attendant said to me, what's the second golf club for?

backup? there's a lot of anger right now among flight attendants. >> peter, what does this mean do you think, for the security lines that we all go through? >> well the intention here was to make the security lines go faster. so people wouldn't have to take all that stuff out. initially i think it's going to cause even more confusion. i think it's going to stop the lines rather than start them. down the road perhaps they'll figure this out. if you take a look at the new regulations, they actually specify in great detail the knives that you can bring and the ones you can't. box cutters are not allowed, razor blades are not allowed. but not everybody is going to get the memo. >> one time i had to return contact lens solution because that did not meet the requirements. >> now you can bring a hockey stick. >> now i can bring a hockey stick. what are the airlines saying? >> they're supporting it because they have no choice. they go along with what the tsa says. remember the airlines are at the gates. they're all in favor of getting an on-time departure. once again, what's inside that cabin at 35,000 feet is what's

worrying flied taentants. they've got enough to worry about without somebody with a lacrosse stick on the way to the bahamas. a new study finds the power of positive thinking might improve your cholesterol. research in "the american journal of cardiology" looks at 1,000 middle-aged americans. it shows people who felt good about life had more good cholesterol. researchers say these positive-thinking people also tend to have a healthy body weight and eat a better diet. >> you're looking at me miss lipitor. maybe i need to do something about that. >> i'm looking at you more like the power of positive thinking which i think you believe in as well. >> okay. i just up it had to 20 milligrams. things are looking up at the vatican where officials say the last of the cardinals are on their way to elect the next pope. the colleagues met again this morning. they could not set a date to begin the conclave until all voting members are there. meanwhile, we're seeing the first pictures of the pope emeritus published by the same italian gossip magazine. remember this? that ran topless photos of prince william's wife, kate.

dennis rodman is being criticized for his trip to north korea. nba commissioner david stern for an upcoming "60 minutes" story on point guard jeremy lin. former nba star dennis rodman in north korea does what so many diplomats and visitors to north korea have wanted to do, meet the man in charge. what do you think of this? i think it's ridiculous. i think that -- i think that if you're going to meet someone with the record on human rights and nuclear testing in a reckless way and counterfeiting u.s. dollars and exporting a horrible brand of whatever it is that he's exploiting and starving his people and locking them up it should be done only in conjunction with the state department with an agenda if

not, he shouldn't go. >> well i mean did he know he was going to meet him when he went over there? >> no. but then it was the burden of somebody to try to educate dennis a little bit so he doesn't come back and say the dude is really cool. his father was great. >> the president should talk to him. >> his grandfather was great. then really why doesn't the president just give him a buzz? >> david stern. yesterday. here in studio 57 nba hall of famer shaq told us quote, i think certain people should leave diplomacy to diplomats. >> the commissioner certainly put it in perspective, didn't he? >> as did shaq. >> you missed shaq yesterday. >> he was here in the studio? >> yeah. the big man, even picked charlie up, had him in his arms. >> i like him so much. >> he came to play. i don't know if you heard about this, but jon stewart will be off "the daily show" in 12 weeks starting in june. the news quickly reported by his

colleague, stephen colbert. >> our other breaking story tonight,ght, jon stewart has announced he will be taking the summer off from "the daily show." [ boos ] we wish him all the best in his new project, ruling the country of venezuela. [ cheers and applause ] >> stewart is actually going to direct a movie about a reporter who was arrested and jailed in iran while covering the country's 2009 presidential election. >> good for jon stewart. >> yeah. take the whole summer off, but he's still working on this new project. >> shall we tell him we'd like him to come here? jon stewart, we want you. >> what do you think, gayle, should we take the summer off and direct a movie? >> i am so game, norah. you know people.

tomorrow on "cbs this morning," it's the image you've seen around the world. a man surfing what may have been a 100-foot-high wave. you're going to meet the man who went on that wild ride.

surfer garrett mcnamara joins us for his first live network interview. that's tomorrow on "cbs this morning." >> can't wait to meet him. testing for strokes can be inaccurate and expensive but a new device may offer a better cheaper alternative and save tens of thousands of lives every year. dr. david newman tauper is leading the study. he's associate professor of neurology at the johns hopkins school of medicine. good morning. >> good morning. >> is this as important and cool as this sounds? i believe it really is. we're going to be able to diagnose more patients with strokes, deliver more prompt treatment, and save lives. >> how? >> so, these are the goggles. they look more or less like a pair of swim goggles with an infrared video camera attached that by a cord goes to a laptop computer. they measure eye movement. and the eye movements when patients present with strokes in the back of the brain, about 1 out of every 4 strokes, they present with dizziness and vertigo and we can tell from

tear eye movement whether they've had a stroke or a benign inner ear condition. and we can do it quickly and easily. >> do you have to have immediately had a stroke? >> these work best in the acute stage so we'll have patients coming into the emergency department with new symptoms but that's a lot of people. we're talking about 4 million people a year coming into the emergency department with dizziness and those symptoms and only about 5% of them str strokes but finding them is important. >> is it possible we can use this in the future to detect if you're likely to have a stroke? >> i think that's less likely to be able to predict far in advance, but what's great about this is it can potentially detect people having early minor strokes before they become serious, and that's really the opportunity to intervene. >> so you say this is more accurate than an mri. but if i look at these glasses, i have to say this looks a little rinky-dink. i mean really? how is this more effective than an mri? >> so the -- what the goggles do is they're measuring physiology

measuring the state of how the brain is working. that changes immediately in the middle of a stroke when there's lack of blood flow to the brain, immediately the eye movements change. it takes a little bit of time before the structure of the brain starts to change from the stroke. that's actually the winl doe of opportunity to intervene. so it takes hours for the mri, actually a couple days for the mri to really show up the stroke some of the time. we've seen false negatives out to two days. >> my understanding, am i wrong, that if you can get to the hospital within the first three hours of a stroke you can ameliorate some of the difficulties that come from it? >> that's correct. so clot-busting drugs have been used to about 4 1/2 hours after a stroke. and this is an opportunity for us to intervene in patients with new early strokes. we've put these on people as early as an hour or two after the start. >> okay. may look rinky-dink but it also looks painless. >> painless and easy. >> no needles. >> thank you, doctor. an important part of our

good morning. eastbound 92 backed up to 280 because of a crash. one way traffic control. everything is cleared but the backups continue. it's slow on westbound 580 coming out of tracy. 205 all the way through the altamont pass, towards the dublin interchange. and if you are heading towards the bay bridge we have had a busy morning commute stacked up through the maze. a couple of stalls, high wind advisory has been canceled, however. that is traffic. for your forecast, here's lawrence. >> how about that weather around the bay area today. some wintry weather overnight and cold front moving through. some strong gusty winds and heavy rain. now the sky is broken outside right now. but there's still some showers showing up outside and in fact our high-def doppler radar is picking up on some of the rain focused in the north bay. we are seeing some showers there and into the east bay we are also beginning to see a couple of pop-ups with showers showing near moraga now. more showers throughout the day today. we could see some thunderstorms as we head in toward tomorrow. a slight chance of a few leftover showers early on

right now women make up only 18% of the 535 seats in congress. a veriry jarnt is an aid to president obama. condoleezza rice served under president bush and lesley stahl is a white house chief correspondent and on "60 minutes." you know, i want to talk about this because women have been going to college at the same rate as men for 30 years now. we talked yesterday about the lack of women at the top in business and now let's talk about sort of politics. so valerie, what do you think it is? do you think it's institutional barriers or women holding themselves back and running for office? >> it's a range of issues. we have to find women supporting other women. i think you have to have men in leadership roles. one of the reasons president obama has been so effective is he's surrounded himself and n

key positions in the white house and key positions women the white house which we know is a powerful position. so not to mention the two women on the supreme court, and so i think he's try dog what he can to include them. i think he's doing his part to try to do it. he said we would not have the gridlock we have in washington if we had more women in congress. >> you know, valley. people say of any administration, president obama, a liberal democrat there are more democratic women and that republican. there should be equality in the white house. why isn't that the case? there is equality in the white house. if you look at the appointments he he's made, there's definitely quality. and he thinks the decision-making is bet when you have a diverse group of people

around you and that's what he's done and so he's led by example. >> there's a funny anecdote by a harvard business professor. they said what can men do that would help. she said the laundry. >> that would help. >> when you look at it. konz rierks kond condoleeza rice what do you think? >> i think the numbers are better. if you look at the senate we have new women in senate. if you look at the fact that the last three of the five are in fact women so things are getting better, but, you know, i see it in the classroom, even at a place like stanford. it's very important that women feel they are fully accepted in the workplace and that women put themselves out there. i found when i was a young specialist in international security had i been waiting for a female black associate yet specialist role model, i would

still be waiting. and indeed the people who advocated for my career were white men. in fact, they were old white men because they dominated the field. >> i thought we were hearing things have been getting better for such a long time. >> yes they are. there are still barriers. we still have gender definition. when one woman walks into the a room people see certain aspects. my good friend the late sally ride talks about if a woman puts herself forward in science and math there's a sense she's not quite ready, so it's a combination. it's women putting themselves for it. >> leslie, you've had a front row seat in history. interviewing some of the most powerful people in the world. what's your take on why women have not reached the top lever in proportion gnat numbate numbers, if you will.

>> if you step back the gains are astronomical. thigher astonishing what they've accomplished. i was thinking of the big companies, yahoo! lock'd martin. we have many women running companies. we have many women at the pinnacle almost of power. these two women that you have this morn havinging have been at the decision-making level, which is huge. think this is a huge coup to have the two of these women sitting here. >> we do too. >> we do too. >> helping make decisions at the very top. it's huge what's happened. and yet when you're living it it feels so slow. >> listen. the numbering out of the 539 seats, that's only 18%. >> it is slow. >> it's one of the great revolutions of our lifetime. it's huge what happened in the late 20th century. but i'm sitting here. i think there's two questions. one is why aren't more women being elected and what would

happen if they got there? would there be this gridlock? >> absolutely not. >> and why do you think -- what is it about women that you think there wouldn't be gridlock? >> i think they strive for consensus, they collaborate better they don't mind compromising. they agree. >> to a certain extent. but i think you have to have the whole set of tools in your toolbox. sometimes you have to build consensus and sometimes you have to say no we're doing this differently and have to be tough. women need to have the whole toolbox. >> tougher? >> all three of you, when they talk about women, it's hard to be competent and liked at the same time. with you valerie, you've been described as tenacious and strong. condi rice tenacious and ruth

ruthless and you've been described as tenacious and a bulldog. >> i do think women are different from men, and i think that this wanting to be liked is something that's holding younger women back. it's going back to college. >> yes. everyone wants to be liked. men just hide it better that they want to be liked. but when you enter a position of power, you want to be respected and every woman should understand that from the youngest woman to the most senior. the key is to be respected. >> we're interviewing carsheryl sandberg. you mentioned that i should speak with her. in her book she says it's positively correlated for women,

more negatively for women. the more powerful the less she's liked. do you believe iowaagree with that? >> i think you need to work on respect. you have to start with being respected. and that means, though that you do treat people well and i think if do you both that is to your benefit. >> what would you tell women today that you wish someone had told you back when you were starting. condi condi condi? >> i wish somebody would tell me my own sense of unease on whether i belonged was shared by everybody in the room even my male colleagues but they hid it better, they covered, not to be afraid to put yourself out there. i tell young women if you get to the place you are and someone treats you badly because you're a woman, it's your fault, not theirs. you have plenty of quivers in

your bag. find someone with cues. it's unnerving particularly if you find yourself in a field that's male-dominated. >> you can't let the fear of failure stop you from trying and i think so many times women are waiting to be given permission. you can't do that. you have to put yourself out there. you have to have a tough skin. you have to be able to accept rejection and get back up and get in the game. >> i have to add one thing. this bounces off sheryl's point. that's the obligation of mother deciding whether to have a family or not. mothers need to tell their daughters they can do it all. >> not at the same time sometimes. >> why not? >> well i think life is full of trade-offs and you can't necessarily do everything at one time. i think about the job i have at the white house. it would be really hard for me to do that when my daughter was young. >> did you ever stop working?

>> i never stopped working but i had jobs that accepted my responsibility and i altered my work stile depending on how old my daughter was. >> did your mother make you feel ashamed? >> no, my mother always worked. >> my mother always worked too. the sequencing is very important. and it's not just around family. they say, why did you not get married? >> i said because u never found anybody i wanted to live with. >> it's hard out there. >> it is hard out there. >> the key is there is some sequencing in life. there will be times you have to focus and do something in a very hard way. there are other times in life when perhaps you can step back and do other things and i tell my students again at stanford life is long don't think you have to do it all at once. >> i keep thinking the older i get there are no absolutes in this question. i love madeleine albrights. there are places in hell for women who don't help other women. >> agreement on the table.

>> thank you so much for being here. and our eye-opening women's series continues tomorrow with the foup der of angie's list angie hicks and caroline kennedy is here on "cbs this morning." and on 60 minutes this sunday i'll have a profile of top

>> some people use that term. >> you were on the sexiest list. >> they're being kind to me. they don't know how old i am. >> they have an idea of how old you are. >> you say your daughters got a kick out of it. they don't if -- >> they roll their eyes. >> you posed for that picture. come on, michael. what are you trying to show us there? >> i had the shirt on for a week and i couldn't get it off. i kept ripping it or tearing it. why did they choose that one? >> michael, the thing is your hair. in your book, it's a teeny paragraph, page 275 is when we finally get to it. when your hair was such a trademark. was it a big decision, hard decision to make the cut because i was worried how you were going to look without the hair. >> so was i. there's no turning back. you know how they sold me, is the guy who cut tom cruise and brad pitt's hair is the guy who came to my hotel to cut my hair. so i figured how bad would i be. the next morning i did not know look like either one of them. >> did you know the guy's name? very well known. >> he does jennifer aniston's. >> how bad could it be.

but i knew i made the right decision. >> it's worked out for you. >> michael bolton, thank you so much. his new album is "ain't no mountain high enough" and new memoir. they're both out now. we'll see how harlem shakes, anybody can do that move. coming up next on "cbs this morning." do that

two months ago most people hadn't heard of the "harlem shake." now more than 250,000 versions of the dance tune have been posted online. he explains how things like "harlem shake" spread in his book "con tang: how things catch on." welcome. >> thank you.

>> so how does it happen? >> it's extremely remarkable. the first time you see it you think, what are they doing? very surprising very infective. you feel like you're in the know. you feel like you're someone special because you have access to ideas no one else has. >> you talk about triggers and emotion lead to something else. >> trigger is a great drive why people share. you remember rebecca. >> friday, friday you remember. >> why do they become popular? they say they hate the song tight worst song ever but why do people look at it. every fried it's like a reminder for people to look at it and share. >> is it social media or word to mouth? >> it's not social media. it's only about actually 7% is online. >> jonah berger thank you so much. we're sorry to have this cut

shout. we're great to have you tell us this phenomena. >> thank you for having

good morning. we still have some slow spots out there coming up 101 into san jose. watch out for this. an accident possibly still blocking one lane northbound 101 approaching brokaw road. 280 is slow as you pass through downtown. northbound 17 extra busy this morning because of a couple of crashes. we had a stall reported near los gatos. so again expect delays coming up from the santa cruz mountains. and we are finally seeing brake lights now. we have a late start northbound 880 past the oakland coliseum. it looks like this in those northbound lanes up towards downtown oakland.

have a great day.
