morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning, charlie. welcome back. >> i feel better. millions of americans heading home for the holidays could face a travel mess this weekend. new snow is already causing traffic problems in the pacific northwest this morning. 5 inches of snow is expected outside of seattle by tomorrow. >> in utah snow and ice cut power to thousands of families and closed the salt lake city international airport for more than two hours thursday. and winter weather in minnesota is making its way east this morning. much of the nation faces a mixture of rain, snow, and ice. parts of the south could see tornadoes, meteorologist megan glaros of our chicago station wbbm is tracking it all. >> norah and charlie, looking at storms that will travel through the eastern parts of the country. it will be a very busy weekend for many.

we see freezing rain in parts of chicago but by tomorrow it's flooding rain for parts of the ohio valley and heavy snow potentially from missouri to iowa, wisconsin, and stretching up into canada. but it could be an ice situation for those of you up in upper new england. what i see is there is the potential for severe weather down to the southern states, the deep south, anywhere from tennessee could see strong winds and tornadoes in the red shaded area, but the northern extent of the storm system could bring anything from flooding rains to ice accumulation to very heavy snowfall. could be as much as 6 to 12 inches of snowfall just north and west of chicago while at the same time on sunday looking at record warmth from d.c. to new york where temperatures could be in the 60s and 70s. charlie? norah? >> all right, megan, thank you. harry reid is in the hospital this morning. a spokesman says the 74-year-old democrat wasn't feeling well overnight. doctors are keeping him for observation, but he's said to be alert and feeling better.

his office says tests show everything is normal. reid had a mild stroke in 2005. he will not be working today as his senate wraps up its pre-holiday work. and monday is the deadline for americans to buy health insurance if they want to have coverage under the affordable care act by january 1st. this morning the white house is making some last-minute changes to the law. it will now offer a cheaper alternative for people who lost their insurance because of new obama care requirements. bill plante is at the white house. bill, good morning. so why this change? all right. >> reporter: this opens the door for almost anyone shut out of the marketplace to get what's meant to healthy younger people. kathleen sebelius will plain is in about an hour. in the latest change to the already complex and controversial health care law, millions of americans whose insurance policies were recently canceled may now qualify for the catastrophic plans regardless of their age. it's a bare bones option which comes with lower premiums but

which provides more limited benefits. it's designed to cover unusually high medical costs after the patient pays big deductibles required by law. in a letter by senators who pushed for the rule, kathleen sebelius called the option the smoothest transition possible for americans whose plans were canceled for failing to meet obamacare's requirements. the move comes in response to concerns by americans like a 56-year-old who lost her insurance plan. she said the government needed to do something. >> we would actually like to have catastrophic insurance. that's exactly what we would take, but they don't give us that option. >> reporter: without the exemption her family was considering going without coverage. >> i'd rather pay the fine than spend a lot of money than have a health care plan that really isn't going to do much for me or my husband. >> reporter: but the health care

insurance industry is now raising concerns about the latest administration policy shift. a national advocacy group representing insurers issued a statement saying thislatest rule change could cause significant instability in the marketplace and lead to further disruption for consumers. the question, how many will this new rule affect. the administration says fewer than a half million. insurers fear that it could mean millions more, and there's a lot of upset about what the administration has done at the last minute. charlie, norah? >> all right, bill. thank you. and thousands of target customers are telling the retail chain they are outraged by a giant security breach. it is the second largest credit card theft in american history. >> target says information of more than a million accounts was stolen. the theft began before thanksgiving and lasted for weeks. cbs correspondent john miller is a former fbi director. good morning. >> good morning. >> what do we know more about this?

>> as the case is developing -- attribution is the hardest part of the cyber crime. it's not going to be picked up on security cameras and no one to identify his face. so far the direction is heading toward southeast asia and around vietnam. that's a bit of a surprise because usually these things are developed out of eastern europe, russian countries, you know, where there's a proliferation of hackers. but you also in attribution have to look at just because that's where the server ends up, is that really where the end user is. that's where they are right now. >> one fascination is it could be around vietnam, southeast asia. number two, how did they get into the sysem? 40 million people. >> so what this is is -- this has been done before. if you go back to the 2006 t.j. maxx case, that's when you can unpack and understand. they're sitting in the parking lot. all the cash registers where you

swipe it in the little credit card machine, that's going wireless to a server. think of a building that has a thousand doors. it's hard to protect that. they're trying to pick up the wireless encryption and get through that. in the end t.j. maxx updated its encryption security but they stole a lot in this case. what they're doing is they're tunnelling right into the servers and getting to the data that's coming out of those machines. so this is fairly sophisticated. that said, there are tools out there like the black box exploit kit that you can rent for $20 on a one-day license that are favorites of hackers that will attack a fire wall until it gets through into the network. you can program it to bring you what you're looking for, whether that's power point presentations, if you're stealing intellectual property or in this case the form of credit card numbers. >> once they get the numbers, what do they do with them? how do they use them? monetize them?

>> let's talk about these guys as a supermarket -- a theft superstore. so these guys are on the whole sale end. they'll take 40 million credit card numbers and they will bundle them into groups of 10,000, 20,000 and say you can have them for a dollar a piece, 50 cents apiece, depending on volume. those people then have to develop the identity around that. a lot of that is done by social engineering. that's us. this is our own fault. they go to our facebook page, get our date of birth. then they associate an address with that and put together the rest of the i.d. you need to purchase the rest of the credit card purchase. >> we know the secret service and fbi are involved in there. are there other operations that might also be involved given that this is coming from southeast asia? you know what i'm saying. the nsa or anybody else.

>> the nsa does a lot of work on the foreign side. it's not out of the question they would be helping with that attribution piece. >> john, thank you. a secret service investigation finds that last year's prostitution scandal was a one-time event. it rocked the agency. nancy cordes has a copy of the report that will officially be released today. she's on capitol hill. nancy, good morning. >> good morning to you, charlie and norah. and our viewers in the west. we were able to be obtain a copy last knight. what the inspector general wanted to do was determine whether there was a larger cultural problem at the secret service. and so they reached out to thousands of secret service employees to get their take. when then secret service director mark sullivan testified to congress shortly after the incident he apologized, insisted appropriate action had been taken, but added cartagena was an isolated circumstance. >> this is not a culture issue or systemic issue with us.

>> the new inspector general report backs this claim. while it found examples of individual employees engaging in inappropriate behavior, it concluded that misconduct within the agency was not widespread. questions surrounding the culture of the agency were prevalent following last year's incident in colombia. agents brought prostitutes back to their hotel following a night of heavy drinking. it was the same hotel the president would stay at just five days later. the scandal was uncovered after a fight occurred in the hallway of a hotel when a prostitute claimed she was not properly compensated. the report polled thousands of members of the secret service. they were asked whether they had witnessed any of the behaviors displayed in cartagena on other occasions. had they seen colleagues engage in excessive drinking or conduct that could cause security concerns. 8% admitted to knowing

colleagues paid for sex. the report confirms 14 incidents in the last five years where secret service employees solicited prostitutes. still of the more than 2,500 employees polled, 83% said they were not aware of anyone engaging in these behaviors. the report that revealed that some of the agents who were caught in cartagena mistakenly believed that one-night stands were allowed under the code of conduct based on briefings they had received. charlie and norah? >> all right, nancy. thank you. and the u.s. marine who served in iraq and afghanistan is facing discharge this morning for taking more than 100 classified documents apparently to write a book. this is an update to a story we reported on in october. major jason brezler was being investigated for sending classified document on his personal e mail. military investigators recommend an honorable discharge. he has ten days to appeal that.

hundreds of theatergoers faced the collapse of a ceiling last night. it injured nearly 80 people and panicked the entire audience. charlie d'agata is outside the apollo theater in london. good morning, charlie. >> reporter: good morning, norah and charlie. we spoke to officials this morning who told us that they say 100 square foot chunk of ceiling and some supporting timbers fell four or five stories on to the audience below. structural engineers have been inside and say it's safe necessary for the investigation to begin. one area they're looking into is whether torrential rain may have had something to do with it. eyewitnesses describe scenes of chaos and panic as the ceiling cracked, crumbled, and then collapsed onto the audience. >> it was, crash, that quickly, and then it was -- as soon as it hit the floor, a massive pile of dust straight up. you couldn't see anything in front of the balcony. >> i can't imagine what it was like down there.

must have been horrible down there. >> reporter: down below where chunks of plaster from the ornate ceiling rained down during a packed performance of "a curious incident of a dog in the nighttime" with more than 700 people inside. a nearby theater became a triage. police commandeered three london buses to shuttle some of the injured to the hospital. >> as far as we know, the roof collapsed above us, and think -- i just -- i got a bang on the head. the next thing i know i was in the foyer. >> reporter: aerial footage this morning shows that the roof itself is intact, but some witnesses said water from a heavy thunderstorm had been dripping from the ceiling moments before the collapse. the london fire brigade says it clears what happened but it's too early to tell yet why it's happened. >> fire crews left the scene. our work is essentially done. the scene is now safe, ready for investigations to take place.

>> reporter: city laws require that rooftops of theaters like these are inspected once every three years. the city council who's responsible say they believe this is an isolated incident. charlie and norah? >> all right. charlie, thank you. the father of a diplomat in new york is coming to his daughter's defense this morning. she is accused of lying on a visa application and paying her housekeeper and nanny much less than minimum wage. her father says the maid was treated like family. >> it's leaving diplomats in india in furor. margaret brennan has more. >> good morning to our viewers out west. the house keeper remains in hiding here in the u.s.. departments have taken measures to shield her. they've even gone so far as to bring her family from india here to the u.s. in order to protect them from retaliation.

anti-american protests continued across india thursday, and the government demanded a u.s. apology for the arrest of diplomat devyani khobragade. last week she was charged with visa fraud and underpaying her indian housekeeper. khobragade was then strip-searched by u.s. marshals and held in jail for four hours before being released on bond. the anger in india has swirled around the treatment of the diplomat, not the housekeeper. foreign ministry spokesman -- >> there is only one victim in this case, that victim is devyani khobragade. >> reporter: the indian government issued a warrant for the house keeper's arrest. >> my client did not steal from the diplomat. she left with essentially the clothes on her back. >> reporter: dana sussman is the housekeeper's lawyer. >> my client is frustrated with how this case has been portrayed in the media and how the indian government has responded.

this case is not about a strip search. this case is about someone who lied to the u.s. government in order to obtain a visa for a worker. >> reporter: the state department told the indian government that it is reviewing those details. an attempt to smooth over this diplomatic rift. so far even a statement of regret from secretary of state john kerry was deemed not good enough. the u.s. is concerned about retaliation now against american diplomats, and this isn't the first time that a diplomat has been accused of abusing the privilege of bringing household help here into the u.s., but usually these matters are handled discreetly, and that did not happen in this case. >> all right, margaret. thank you. time to show you some of the morning headlines. a general was forced out of his

post after a rowdy trip to russia this morning. an investigation found he drank too much and got too involved with two suspicious women. politico says the senate settled a long-standing argument over presidential nominations. senators will vote on most of the nominees before going home for christmas, but the confirmation vote for janet yellen will have to wait until january. in russia the moscow times looks at the opponent of putin. he was freed this morning after a presidential pardon. he spent the last ten years in prison for alleged embezzlement and tax evasion. and "the seattle times" says catholic high school students are rallying around their ousted vice principal. mike was either quit or fired after marrying his male partner. it is legal but opposed by the church. hundreds of children walked out of school yesterday in protest. high pressure now building in overhead. the skies are clear and it is

cold in spots. some freezing temperatures showing up in the valleys this morning. but clear skies going to continue today and by the afternoon, the temperatures going to be a little bit warmer outside. but that whole ridge of high pressure building in for the weekend should make for some beautiful weather. temperatures in the 50s and low 60s today over the weekend going to be a little warmer and above average staying dry through christmas day. >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by macy's.

this is a big story. a & e suspended phil robertson after he made anti-gay comments. the head of a & e said i am shocked that an old bearded deer hunter who lives with his family in the bayou did not have progressive views on the gay people. welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up this half hour, a minister ordered to leave his ministry because he conducted a same-sex wedding for his son. the minister talked to us about deliberately violating church rules. >> plus he was the most celebrated name in nascar. more than a decade after the nascar world lost dale earnhardt, a piece of history raised again. you're going to meet the driver putting number 3 back on the

track again. that's ahead. the future of "duck dynasty" is in question this morning. the family is threatening to walk off the program. ben tracy reports on a new twist after the controversial interview. >> reporter: the duck call on the show "duck dynasty" might be silenced. late thursday the head of the family made a statement after phil robertson made homophobic statements to a magazine. they said we have had a successful relationship with a & e but as a family we can't imagine going forward without our patriarch at the helm. we're in discussions with a & e with what the future holds. >> ducks are like women in that they don't like a lot of mud on their butts. >> reporter: he called gays

sinners and reported african-americans were happier in the pre-civil rights era. robertson has responded to widespread criticism saying, quote, i would never treat anyone with disrespect because they're different than me and now lawmakers and certain pundits are coming to robertson's defense including rush limbaugh. >> excuse me for just a second but who's being discriminated against here except phil robertson? who just lost a job because of his religious beliefs? >> reporter: others think robertson's freedom of speech rights have been violated. >> this is all about freedom of speech. so many families have spilled blood and treasure to guarantee phil robertson and everybody else's right to voice personal opinions and once that freedom is lost, everything else is lost. >> if you don't like what he said, flip the channel. that's what's so great with america. you don't have to agree with everyone but everyone's got their right to an opinion, especially a religious opinion. >> reporter: a & e says free

speech doesn't justify hate speech. >> it results in bullying or homophobic or racist views. >> reporter: phil robertson's fans will see him in the upcoming season. most episodes have already been taped. the a & e! network have not fired robertson probably because "duck dynasty" is its most lucrative shows but also its merchandise tied in at almost $4 million. >> it's a bump in the road toward another ratings bonanza. and let me tell you, when "duck dynasty" back on january 14th, everybody's going to be watching. >> reporter: but now that the family is threatening to boycott its own show, a & e may have derailed its own dynasty. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. and this morning new mexico is now the 17th state along with washington, d.c., to allow

same-sex marriage. the supreme court ruled that couples have the constitutional right to marry regardless of their sexual orientation. thursday's ruling came on the same day that a pennsylvania pastor was defrocked. he officiated at the wedding of his son who is guy. terrell brown is here this morning. good morning. >> good morning to you. the methodist church is the largest with about 8 million members and like the rest of the country, it is bitterly divided over gay marriage. >> reporter: when reverend was asked to marry him by another man, he said there was no way to refuse. >> i wanted to say yes to but i had to say yes especially with him because the way he came out, he had struggled with his sexual identity and he had actually considered suicide at one point. >> reporter: so he presided over the wedding in massachusetts six years ago, even though it went against church rules.

schaefer said his love for his son was more important. >> reporter: were you aware of the consequences? >> i would have to say yes. i actually informed my bishop and my district superintendent beforehand in writing. >> reporter: nothing came of it until this past april when a parishioner at his church in lebanon, pennsylvania, filed an official complaint. while it welcomes them, it forbids gay marriage, bans gay priests and reports that it's incompatible with christianity. >> it attacks them. a homosexual person's expression of love, the church is saying that's sinful. >> reporter: in november the church found schaefer, a minister for 20 years, guilty of violating church law. he was suspended for 30 days. on thursday after telling church officials he would not uphold teachings he believed would treat gays and lesbians and second-class citizens, he was defrocked. >> the board was compelled by the jury's decision to deem his

credentials surrendered. >> reporter: some would argue you're one man with one opinion and the doctrine is holy and it is beyond just you. >> my response would be open your eyes. our church is filled with lgbt members. >> reporter: is it worth it? >> i would not change anything that i have done. what i have done and what i said came from my heart. >> reporter: schaefer says he planned on appealing the decision to defrock. meanwhile he's using his notoriety to advocate for changes to make methodist church more welcoming to lesbian and gay parishioners. three of his four children are gay or lesbian. sheets of ice are gathered on the great lakes. crews are racing to keep critical shipping lanes open.

>> reporter: you know it's cold when you see coast guard ice breakers on the great lakes and it's still autumn, but single-digit temperatures are forcing them into action on lake superior. the shipping industry does about 20% of its business in the cold weather months and the vessels need a clear path through the ice. cruise liners are affected. in lake michigan now they're frozen in place. we're aboard the chicago city's tugboat called the commissioner which is out on the water three weeks earlier than usual because serious ice has begun to form. >> a concern for a lot of the commercial shippers is they simply can't get their boats in and out to transfer goods. >> reporter: he's a marine biologist at the shedd aquarium. he was along for the ride as the commissioner was shattered ice in the city's harbor. >> as the ice freezes to the

dock, it has a chance to break it apart. we're using the tug to break it up right now. >> reporter: but the ice has actual benefits for the lake. years of below average moisture has dropped lake levels. the ice can at least preserve the water that's there. you think there's a positive side to all this ice? >> the ice acts as a blanket and sort of traps the water. the ice is actually helping to raise ice levels. >> reporter: positive or negative, temperatures are supposed to drop into the teens which is a sure bet there will be a lot more ice to deal with. for "cbs this morning," dean reynolds, chicago. and for nascar fans, number 3 will always bring back memories of the number one star in stock car racing. see how a symbol of the late dale earnhardt is making a comeback. that's next on "cbs this morning." >> big shoes to fill.

in south carolina, cameron wood thought she was unwrapping a christmas gift. the gift turned out to be her father jason wood. he's home for a two-week holiday before heading out overseas. >> he says get me out of this box. i want to hug my daughter. oh, too bad he has to go back but glad he had that reunion. even if you don't follow nascar, chances you know the name dale earnhardt. he was synonymous with stock car racing. a piece of his legacy remain off the track but next year that will change. manuel bojorquez shows us who's driving a tradition into the future. >> dale earnhardt will come to the caution flag to win the daytona 500. >> reporter: few numbers in

sports history are as iconic as the number 3 is to nascar. it's the number dale earnhardt raced to six of his seven championships and the car he was driving when a crash tragically took his life in daytona in 2001. earnhardt raced on richard childress's team. >> most of these cars have all won championships. >> reporter: last week childress announced the number 3 will ride again. he believes it's what earnhardt would have wanted. >> we were in daytona. it was raining and we were sitting there and he was talking about his retirement, what he was going to do. i think it was probably 2000. he told me, he said, i want you to keep running the car, keep running the 3, and i want you to be able to win races and win championships. >> reporter: still the decision wasn't easy. the number is sacred to earnhardt fans. >> reporter: so there was no option to retire the number. >> no option. >> reporter: it would eventually get back on the track. >> it would eventually come back

some day if someone went in there and asked for it. >> reporter: you didn't want to see it outside of the family. >> it needed to stay in the family. >> one, two, three. >> reporter: and now it will. when the number 3 returns to the sprint cup series early next year, childress' grandson, austin dillon, will be at the wheel. not only has dillon grown up in the racing world, he also moved up through nascar's ranks driving and winning national championships in a number 3 car. >> i've been running it for four years in different series and hearing people come up and talking about dale and bringing up different memories, and think it's very special. i think now that we've kind of brought it to today and going cup racing with it, it's exciting for people that didn't know about dale also. >> reporter: have you had a conversation with dale jr. about the number 3? >> he's been very supportive and excited to see it back on the track. >> we've got pretty cool stuff now. >> reporter: he's also won the

support of industry veterans like longtime gas man danny "chocolate" myers. >> i think fans are excited about it. at least 95% of them are excited about it. and i think more people get on board pretty quick. >> reporter: it's an opportunity dillon is not taking for granted. >> you want to continue that legacy, the history it was able to create and we want to add another chapter to the book, that everybody knows about that number 3. >> reporter: and if that chapter means bringing the iconic number 3 to victory lane, all the better. for "cbs this morning," manuel bojorquez, welcome, north carolina. >> how about that, norah "chocolate" o'donnell. >> how do you get a middle name like that? >> i assume he loves chocolate. dale earnhardt's number is a great number and a great man. high pressure now building in overhead. the skies are clear and it is cold in spots. some freezing temperatures showing up in the valleys this morning. but clear skies going to continue today and by the afternoon, the temperatures

ordered it. >> they do. and, remember, the original indictments of the two libyans claimed "and others." so they basically have field indictments against 20 other people from four other countries and in addition the two prosecutors is at least a start. >> they believe the information might be forth coming if they can find it. >> if they can find her a personal apology. >> how much did she get. >> the same as everybody else. >> very impressive. we'll go back to the university to make sure the tragedy is never forgotten. that's tomorrow on "cbs this morning saturday." and a former boston celtic once left the arena to buy drugs minutes before a game. chris herron shares the depths spiral and m

it was my idea. and we were newlyweds. and i wasn't used to living with a male roommate. and he was dropping socks is on the floor and they kept piling up. i turned to him one day and said, honey, if you don't start picking up your socks, this will come up in your year-end review. huh, that's a good idea. >> do you wait all year and say he didn't do this and this and spring it all at the year-end review? >> no, i also believe in daily feedback. these reviews do not take the place of important conversations during the day or not so important conversations every day. >> did the reviews change behavior? >> they do, except for the socks. honey, sorry, but i was walking out and looking at the socks on the floor, i think i have to do quarterly reviews. >> can i tell you the woman we work with said if i had to give my husband a year-end performance review, we'd not be married any more. this idea frightens people. why would you give a review to

your spouse or it is an effective way of communication? >> i think it makes it safer to criticize. normally when a spouse says something, nagging, why are you picking on me? an opportunity to do it. different for guys because guys don't want to sit down and talk about my life i don't want to talk about my feelings. this gives it a structure, there's an agenda we've got an action plan. >> it feels like a safe environment to do it is it not? >> can i say there's a structure to this, right? you talk about accomplishments, areas for improvement and goals, right? >> right. >> different couples have different year-end review techniques. ours is very casual. we go out to dinner drink some wine. >> drink some more wine. >> drink some more wine. >> so it's just the two of you. you get dressed up? >> we make it a date night and we look forward to the review. to use another business term team building. we're really in it together and

and heather is your sanity. and one of the best things you hang on to in your life. and one day she will be your wife. at boston college you'll be introduced to one line of cocaine. and although you promise yourself one time that one line will be the reason you get kicked off campus and barely make it through fresno state. that one line will last 14 years. and although you're gifted enough to get drafted into the nba by the denver nuggets, your struggles will continue chasing that one line. at 22 you will spend $20 on a little yellow pill called oxycontin and that 40 milligram pill will turn to 1600 milligrams a day and that $20 will turn to $20,000 a month drug habit. >> herren drives on nash.

>> it will have you ten minutes before a game waiting for your dealer. that little yellow pill will strip you of your nba dreams and goals and you will no longer be invited back into the league. two years later that one little yellow pill will become a syringe and stay in your arm for the next six years. addiction will follow you wherever you play addiction will be your toughest opponent. as a husband and father you'll spend every dime you ever made on drugs and put your family in debt. you'll feel defeated and at times suicidal. but one day please know you will find meaning to find back. on august 1st, 2008 your awakening begins. you're granted a day off campus from treatment to see the birth of your son. yet again you fail. after his birth you walk out of

the hospital and go get high. upon returning from your relapse, your counselor tells us to pick up the phone and promise your wife you will never call her again and to tell your three kids their dad has died in a car accident because you don't deserve a family and you should let them live but instead you pray for sobriety and from that prayer on, god willing, you will stay sober. treatment and faith gave you sobriety. it will be your life's greatest gift. sobriety will enable you to become the man you always wanted to be. you will find your life's purpose from your struggles and you will share your story and hope that it may help just once. you will be a voice for those who are sick and tough and you will no longer have shame. and you will live one day at a time. >> an emotional story. you know after he became clean
