Officials say the thousands of people left stranded in cars, stores, and schools all finally made it home. But there is a lot of fingerpointing this morning over the response to tuesdays snow and ice storm. Mark straussman is in atlanta where schools, government offices, and many businesses will be closed again today. Reporter good morning, charlie and norah. Good morning to all of our viewers in the west. All over atlanta along roads and highways, this is what you see. Cars that have been abandoned during the storm. The goal today is to get the drivers back into their cars and get the cars on the road, to try to get this city moving again. The other goal is to get the black ice off the road. Hundreds of cars still line the highways in atlanta. Most of them marked with yellow tape, a sign theyve been abandoned. As late as wednesday, drivers were still stuck in miles of frozen gridlock.

He needs to answer. Everybody knew this weather was coming. Reporter Atlanta Mayor kasim reed defended the citys actions but admitted they could have been better prepared.

Reporter georgia governor nathan deal also apologized but said the storm hit atlanta faster and harder than anyone could have imagined. Mother nature has a mind of its own.

This morning, the government says Consumer Spending hit its best rate in three years. The economy grew by 3. 2 in the last quarter of 2013. Stocks are up after opening at their lowest point of the year. Markets fell on weak earnings and the feds decision to cut its economic stimulus. The fed meeting was the last for chairman ben bernanke. Ian Etjanet Yellen takes over tomorrow. Anthony, lets start with the market. Whats going on . I think its processing a number of things. First of all as you mentioned, the pulling back of the stimulus from the fed. Second of all, a slowdown in china which is weighing on things here. Really, the market was up 26 last year, charlie. I mean at some point, everybodys been saying there needs to be a pullback. We may finally be getting it. Despite the uncertainty, especially in january, why is the fed pulling back . Because underneath all of this, the fundamentals of the economy are getting stronger and i think you hit on something ive been hearing from Business Leaders now for quite a while. Everybody thinks this year is going to be better. Now, the cautionary note of course, theyve been saying that for the last couple of years. The question is whether the Business Leaders have the certainty, feeling about the economy absolutely. And they lynn vest in new jobs. Exactly. Thats the question. What about the whats the effect of the feds decision on china . Well china, i mean part of whats going on here is with the fed pulling back the expectation is that Interest Rates are going to go up and that investment money is going to move back to the states and that will hit emerging markets, okay . But really, i think whats going on with the market is just a readjustment and recalculation in terms of with the fed pulling back, whats that going to mean for the economy . Is the u. S. Economy going to get weakened . Will janet yellen be different in any way than ben bernanke . I think in some time she will. I think in the near term it will be business as usual. The two have been not necessarily in lockstep but pretty much been in agreement about the way things should go. If anything, yellen may be more cautious than bernanke. I remember when it was first announced that janet yellen would get this job, that you said shes going to be the most i think shes the most powerful woman in american history, until we have a female president. All right. Anthony mason, thank you. And in the world. Yes. Thanks. Hundreds of people sickened on a Royal Caribbean cruise are home this morning. The ship returned to new jersey wednesday, two days early. And we have the firsthand accounts from passengers. Elaine, good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie and norah. The ship left last week for what was supposed to be a tenday cruise through the caribbean. Instead, the trip was cut short after nearly 700 passengers and crew members got sick. Eight days after it set sail, Royal Caribbeans explorer of the sea returned to new jersey. Passenger lynn cavato said by day three, he and his friend were two of those that fell ill. We were confined to our cabin for almost two days. Reporter what was that like . It was bad, intestinal stomach pain, you know, vomiting, nausea. It was bad. Reporter passengers chris roman and Britney Schneider saw signs of sickness throughout the ship and crews working to clean um. They were overwhelmed. The medical was backed up. Room service was backed up because people were quarantined to their rooms. The staff, which was wonderful, the staff was great the whole entire time, they were stretched thin. Reporter they say by the third day, the normally bustling ship with more than 4,200 passengers and crew had turned eerily quiet. Activity got cancelled. And we all you could do was just walk around and talk to empooh. It was a ghostship. No one was around. Reporter the cdc is working with Royal Caribbean to determine what caused the outbreak, but they suspect the noro virus, which spreads easily from infected people through contaminated food or water or touching contaminated surfaces although a Company Official called the event rare, passenger passengers on another Royal Caribbean ship were sickened two weeks ago. The company is now offering partial refunds. And this was really unfortunate. So we gave our guests half of their money back for this cruise, and we also gave them 50 off toward a future cruise so that they will come back with us. Reporter but some passengers say thats not good enough. For people like ourselves who are not really cruisers we probably wont go on one again. To get 50 off when youve taken time off from work and went to high expense, it doesnt really compensate you. Reporter cdc officials are on the board the ship continuing their investigation into the outbreak. Officials are also evaluating the disinfection process. According to Royal Caribbeans website, the ship is scheduled to leave for another cruise tomorrow. Charlie, norah . Elaine, thank you. This morning, were learning of a devastating house fire in western kentucky. Officials say eight children and one adult died in that fire in greenville, kentucky a town of 4,000. The flames reported in the middle of the night. Greenville is about 130 miles southwest of louisville. Two other People Living in the home were taken by helicopter to a nashville hospital. Republicans respond today to president obama on immigration. House Speaker John Boehner will show a new plan to fellow republicans today in maryland. Its a piecemeal approach that focuses on stronger border security, but it includes a path to legal status for 11 Million People who entered the u. S. Illegally. Republican congressman Mario Diazbalart of florida tells nancy cordes, the time is right. What has always eluded us is that magic formula, policywise, that gets us the majority of the republicans and a very large substantial number of democrats, which would allow us then to not only move forward in the house but pass it in the house. Other republicans say they will not approve any plan leading to citizenship for immigrants who broke the law. Russian Authorities Say this morning theyve arrested two people connected to a pair of deadly bombings that raised tensions for the winter olympics. The suspects are described as members after muslim militant group. Last months attacks killed 34 people in the city off volgograd. The director of National Intelligence says its time for Edward Snowden to return hundreds of thousands of stolen secret documents. James clapper told a Senate Hearing yesterday that snowdens leaks are causing profound damage. The nation is less safe and its people less secure. Terrorists and other adversaries of this country are going to school on u. S. Intelligence sources methods and tradecraft and the insights that they are gaining are making our job much, much harder. Homeland security bob orr has covered the story since it broke. What are they telling us in terms of your sources and clapper testifying there about the damage done specifically, and how they are forced to adjust to that damage. This is devastating. They say this case goes far beyond any of the famous spy cases we know, aldridge james, robert hansen. What snowden has done with the leaks through the press is hes put the intel playbook out there for everyone to see. So when your adversaries and your opponents and the terror groups, well, how does the u. S. Do this, what are the tripwires, when they have all of that information, what do they do . They adjust. That forces us to adjust. So well eventually get all of this back with new capability. But right now, this is a security lag and thats dangerous. What do you think the point was of our nations intelligence chief, general clapper, calling on snowden to return these documents and accusing, also and saying his accomplices, which was really a vague reference to the press. Right, it wasnt all that vague, norah. I think it looked desperate, to be honest with you. The government is frustrated. They cant do anything. Short of convincing russia to grab the guy and help us hes beyond the reach of the u. S. Government. So now theyre reduced to basically begging him to come back and go through some kind of trial. Hes charged with three felonies. Eric holder the attorney general, says hes not going to make a deal. No clemency, no amnesty. So hes not coming back were not getting the doms back. Also news out of this hearing on syria and how concerned we are about our own national security, because of whats going on in syria, right . Its a huge problem. Thats the emerging battlefront is al qaeda. We know about the al qaeda, afghanistan, pakistan region. We know about the strong affiliate in yemen. Whats happening in syria is you have two al qaeda factions, largely from iraq that are carving out now some safe haven space. Theyre setting up Operations Training camps, and theyre attracting westerner recruits. Its very very dangerous. And theyre going there and back to iraq. Right. And maybe back to the united states. There are westerners there and some folks from the u. S. That have gone to fight there. All right. Thank you. The u. S. Is raising concerns this morning that russia may have violated a 1987 missile treaty that helped end the cold war. The agreement was signed by president reagan and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev. The New York Times reports american officials believe russia began testing mediumrange missiles in 2008 and the u. S. Informed nato of the alleged breach this month. Russian president Vladimir Putin is holding out on helping ukraine this morning. Hes waiting until the country form as new government before ocher billions in bailout money. For two months protesters have demanded ukraine president step down. Holly williams is in kiev where demonstrators are being offered amnesty in return for their cooperation. Holly, good morning. Reporter good morning, charlie and norah. Ukraines parliament voted to free arrested protesters if they leave the government buildings theyve occupied in the next 15 days. The protesters say they will not do that. And in the midst of this dangerous crisis ukraines president has gone on sick leave, which could make it even more difficult to resolve. Ukraines demonstrators are hunkered down and ready to defend themselves. Theyre sticking to their demands for the president s resignation and fresh elections, but now the government set a deadline for them to leave, many here fear the standoff could end violently. A member of parliament and a protest leader what will you do if the government sends the riot police back on the square . They did it a number of times. If the president decides to make another crackdown, or enforce the marshal law in case of emergency, this will be a disaster for my country. Reporter the demonstrators have stayed out in the bitter cold because they believe their countrys future hangs in the balance. These protests began peacefully back in november but ukraines government turned down a treaty with europe in favor of Financial Aid from russia. But after surviving decades of oppressive soviet rule many ukrainians fear moscows influence and hope closer ties with europe will bring greater freedom and democracy. Former World Champion boxer is one of the protest leaders and told us a modern ukraine needs to be part of the west. Why do you want to be close to europe and move away from russia . Weve want to move away from russia. We talk about maybe european reporter the protests and the governments response could decide whether ukraine turns east or west. Ukraines former president warned yesterday that this country could be on the brink of a civil war. Charlie and norah if. Holly, thanks. Time to show you some of the mornings headlines.

Number 46 will be played outside in the cold. Thats thanks to nfl owners William Johnson and jonathan tisch. Well ask how soldthey sold the idea to the league. And we talk with brian broughton. Hes devastated. The controversy that caused him hollywood gold. Thats ahead. During the gridlock, the number of people stuck on the road grew by one. A baby in such a hurry to get here. Amy was in labor. Amy anderson and her husband nick were expected their third child next week but around 2 00 p. M. On tuesday amy called nick with some news. She was in a little bit of a panic mode. She already started having contractions. They were about ten minutes apart. Anderson rushed to their home in an atlanta suburb and loaded his pregnant wife and two daughters into the car. On any other day it would have been just a couple minutes drive to the hospital but once they got on the interstate, it was total gridlock. I think that point reality started to set in that were not going to make it. I called 911 and the operator was super helpful. She was very calm and relaxed and said shes going to talk us through it. Luckily anderson wouldnt have to deliver his baby alone. I think it was just coincidence, being at the right place at the right time. Reporter officer Tim Sheffield was responding to a call in the area when he noticed Nick Anderson was standing outside his car. He didnt look like he was stuck. I got out to check on him. I asked the driver are you oklahoma. Very calm. He was on the phone with 911. He said, no were having a baby. I said okay. Reporter officer went to grab supplies from his car. Reporter through snow wind and traffic, the baby came into the world. It was a neat experience. My two baby girls got to see their baby sister born. I got to deliver. Not ideal but a memorable one but one well cherish home soon. Charlie, norah, gail . A great story. Thank you, manny. Thats a great birthday gift. As you know, when babies are ready to come charlie they come. They come. They dont care whats happening. They come. I say kudos to mom. After having three kids i dont want to have baby in a car. Speaking of a big baby big super bowl baby. Lets talk about the super bowl three days away. Fans are pouring into new york and new jersey this morning. The cochairs of the Super Bowl Host Committee join us. Welcome. Good morning, everybody. Great to have you. Weve got lots to talk about here. First of all whats the weather going to be and second lets talk about getting to the stadium. Weather is off the table. Not even an issue. Weather o obviously in the past was on everybodys mind but its going to get warmer for the next few days. By gametime, 40 degrees, no precipitation. Balmy compared to what weve been through. Youve been checking your cbs weather app sneefr hour. You think im obsessed with it . Every hour. Now every two hours. I think were good. What concerns you . Weather doesnt concern me. 45 close to the game 45 instead of 30. We started out with a huge list of things to do. Its down to a 3 x 5 card really. I think transportation still, making sure everybody gets on the right bus and on the right train. Its going to be a mobile super bowl and not much not many people will be driving out there. Everybody getting in the right spot. And were doing a lot to advise people where to go. But, jonathan, when you guys did the presentation, kudos to you. That presentation all those years ago ended up. What was your big sell what were you hoping to achieve and do you see this as a dry run, that if this goes all right, all right, cold weather is all right. A couple of objectives when we made the presentation. This is the great gaeft in the world and now its going to be made on the greatest stage in the world. The new yorkorkew york engine regionnew jersey region. Can you tell me whats wrong with a dome stadium . Theres nothing wrong the dome stadium. We looked at it. The cost was tremendous. And we wanted to have the roof, the cold weather advantage learn how to play in cold weather. And a lot of roofs they open with a little sliver. To open the roof to full which we wanted to do all the way to the very end would be about 400 million. Can i ask you. We live in new york city now. Were new there. You see helicopters in the sky. Theyre security. How much security is there and do you get briefed as owners on what the government is doing to protect . The preparations, norah, have been going on for about 2 1 2 years. Theres a lot of coordination between new jersey state police, nypd secret service, homeland security. Have you interfaced with john miller yet . Maybe we need him to tell us whats going on next. Al kelly has been interfacing. Theres a security operation out at the stadium i saw a couple of days ago. Its unbelievable. Obviously first and foremost is the most important. What does a cohost do . Cochairs. Gayle is a cohost. Yes. What do we do . Thats true. Gayles on one of our committees. She got a letter from woody and me. Let me just tell you. She wants to sit outside. She believes as you do the elements are important. Did you want to do it for the last week or just now . Youre so right, woody. It means to new york city how much . 550 million in Economic Activity generated by the game. But there are reports theyre overexaggerated. Those reports are always around before a big event like this. And when we start tallying some of the revenues in the next couple of days, i think we were going to be pretty close to the number for new york and new jersey but theres also a lasting effect of a billion people watching the game and the impressions of this region and saying to themselves jio, look whats going on in times square and new jersey. I want to take a trip and spend time next summer or two summers from now. Whats the biggest thing facing pro football from an owners standpoint . One, you can talk about concussions or other issues, but really i think the fan at the stadium experience and making sure that the stadium experience continues to evolve in a positive way versus what you can do at home. Because television has gotten good. Yeah, but television is still television. We have to do a better job in creating an environment where the fan gets at the stadium something thats totally unique. The Fan Experience is what they go there for. Theres nothing like the roar of the crowd, the smells all of that its like going to a concert. Thats true. Especially in a better stadium. Is it harder since neither one of your teams are in it . Oh, i wish it were us. Very much so. I just want to get the level charlie. Is that good enough for you, gayle . Yes. Do you root for your respective conferences or do you root for peyton because hes elis brother . Yes. And we have a strong connection to one of the great families in sports, the manning family. Congratulations. Its great having the super bowl in new york and new jersey. Great job. William johnson and jonathan tisch.

In an extraordinary move the Motion Picture academy with drew the nomination of a songwriter. He sat down with our ben tracy. Its somewhat devastating disappointment. Reporter Bruce Broughton is now an Academy Award nominee. Do you feel like in some way you have been kicked in the shins . In the shins and other places, yes. I will not be bent in fear reporter broughton wrote the title song for a little known christian film alone yet not alone. It was released for just 24 days and earned 100,000 yet it snagged a coveted oscar nomination. Alone yet not alone. Very that raised eyebrows because it beat out songs such as tay lort swift, coldplay jayz and others. But the academy resinlded his nomination because of this email he sent to academy voters. He said im dropping you a line to boldly direct your attention to entry number 57. This is merely a request for your consideration. In fact, academy rules do not prohibit sending emails or even the aggressive for your consideration ads all over hollywood this time of year. But broughton is on the executive committee of the Music Academy branch and was in the academy. Can you imagine somebody getting your email, knowing you were on the academy and saying id better vote for that one . No. I dont have a position with the academy. I havent been with the academy for two years. Reporter they would not discuss it. In a statement the president said no matter how well intentioned the communication, using ones position as a former governor and Current Executive Committee member to personally promote ones own oscar submission creates the appearance of an unfair advantage.

Another accident in the clearing stages we are seeing lots of spinouts out there with the wet roads. Thats kcbs traffic. Heres larry all right, liza. We have a lot of clouds out there now, cold front swinging through overnight bringing some muchneeded rain to the bay area. Just beginning to break up a little bit but we have a chance of some more rain on the way throughout the day and were not done yet. Hidef Doppler Radar is picking up scattered showers right now around the bay area. Some of the heavier rainfall showing up in parts of the south bay and into the santa cruz mountains. This afternoon, temperatures going to stay cool, plan on highs only in the 50s and low 60s. Good morning to you. It is 8 00 in the west. Welcome back to cbs this morning.

On the way over here we saw Police Officers shining a spotlight in each of the abandoned cars along the side of the road. There is a lot of finger pointing this morning on the response to tuesdays snow and ice storm. Everybody knew this weather was coming. The market was up 26 last year.

Officials facing heavy criticism to the storm. The temperature should get above freezing today. Sure hope so. Mark, good morning to you. Good morning, charlie and nora and gayle. We saw Police Officers shining a spotlight in each of the abandoned cars along the side of the road looking for people trapped inside. They didnt find any this morning, at least not that we know of. What i can tell you is the goal today is to reunite the owners of these cars with their cars and get this city moving again. Hundreds of cars still line the highways in atlanta. Most of them marked with yellow tape a sign they have been abandoned. Good luck. Be safe. Reporter Good Samaritans handed out food and water. Lots of people have been able to get off and get what they need but you know those that havent have been very grateful. Reporter in Fulton County students said they spent tuesday night at school more than 2,000 of them. They fed us dinner and then breakfast and then lunch today. Disappointment was in the leadership of our state. We should have been able to shut the schools down we had no emergency evacuation plan. It was chaotic. The superintendent needs to pay for this needs to answer. Everybody knew the weather was coming. Reporter the city is slowly beginning to come back to life and state and local officials on the defensive. The National Weather service in atlanta said it gave them plenty of warning to get ready. The first winter storm warning game 21 hours before the first flakes began to fall. All right, mark. Thank you. A new storm bringing rain to Northern California for the first time in weeks. But it wont do much to help the states drought emergency. Governor jerry brown says the white house is now reaching out. The president called me today. He offered to do whatever he can do. He cant make it rain. Make no mistake. That is mega drought. Its serious. We dont know how long it will go on but we have to take real precautions going forward. Meteorologist megan glaros is watching the storm threat in the west. Megan, good morning. Good morning. Nora charlie and gayle, what we are talking about with this storm system is probably upwards of about a quarter of inch of rain around San Francisco. To give you an idea of what they need to zero out the drought, over one fourweek period 15 inches of rain. That is an entire years worth for los angeles. And that is not likely to happen. But as the jet stream took a dive, it did allow the storm system to come in. The first major storm system since early december and it will mean heavy snows for parts of the sierras and rockies. Ski resorts excited to see potentially two feet of snow in some instances. Heres a problem from the storm system. While its a good thing for the west and at least will help them, as it moves into the midwest friday night into saturday were looking at the potential for significant snows in chicago. We have snowed in chicago essentially every other day since december 8th. Little snow weary over here charlie, nora and gayle. Megan, thank you. President obama goes to milwaukee and nashville today to promote his economic goals. It is part of his road trip on the heels of his state of the union address. In pittsburgh wednesday, he signed a president ial order creating a Retirement Savings program and visited a costco store in maryland saying he needed to get a few things for supersunday. I need some time to pick up a snow shovel and one of those 50pound bags of dog food for bo and sonny. I was told id get a big screened tv too, for the super bowl coming up. The 80 inch. 60 is not enough, huh . Got to go 80. Yeah, all right. Bigger is better. Thats what they say. Even the president had to laugh when he said to get the snow shovel and the big thing of dog food yeah. Got a good sense of humor. The president wont be the only one watching the game and the ads but some sponsors are not waiting for the kickoff. Theyre actually running teasers for commercials ahead of time. Oh hey. What you got there . Oh sleepy time. Oh no. What happens abby is editor of advertising giant joins us at the table. Hey, abby. Hi. Go like this. Thank you. I dont want you talking the whole time. Your mamas watching. A nice thing to do. This is the first time they have done teasers. Whens the thinking behind it to get us psyched and ready to go . Ads for the ads. Super bowl is the only time of the year to see that. Spending 4 million for 30 seconds of air time you want to make sure everyones perked up and paying attention. In the past they have run the whole ads and people said i already saw that commercial. With the advent of social media, theyre releasing the spots early to get play on youtube and twitter and facebook. And i think, you know releasing it early, the calculation is it takes a little bit of mystery out of the ad the actual day and this is a way to pique your interest and get more mileage without losing that. Talk about one of those. The cheerios ad. Lets watch. Hey. Gracie . You know how our family has daddy and mommy . And me. Yeah. Thats right. Pretty soon youre going to have a baby brother. And a puppy. Deal. Thats it. I mean isnt it . Yeah. My favorite. Born negotiator. Especially with the controversy about that ad. When that ad first came out, i went online and it was hateful, the mail they got with the interracial couple and learning for the first time its gracie and that bravo to cheerios taking it on and saying well show you something. Thats great. General mills isnt in the super bowl in decades so i think this is one of those where this same family starred in an ad earlier several months ago. They released it on youtube. Some really racist comments on youtube. You know what . The majority of people loved it. Tested really well. Did really well for General Mills and i think it was one of those things where they said this is the right ad at the right time. Seize the opportunity of the super bowl and an awesome spot. Yeah. What about minutelong ads . 30 seconds is long enough. Double the 4 million price tag for 60 seconds and were seeing an increasing number of advertisers buy extra long spots. Like the budweiser puppy ad. Thats right. This is a cute overload in the ad. My goodness. So this is a 60second spot. Budweiser actually yes it is. Yeah. Isnt it . Look at this. Licks the so cute. My favorite part. So budweiser, you know they had a 60second spot last year and recall the same actor horse trainer and he was training a clydesdale. They developed a bond and the horse recognized him at a parade in chicago. What does that have to do with beer . Thats a great question. You know what . Heres the deal with these ads. Clydesdales have to do with beer because theyre so heavily associated with budweiser but the 60second spots, that is coming about because marketers are getting a little bit more sophisticated in the super bowl ads. Not just about some sort of slapstick joke and you might need more time to tell that story. People like it quick. Dannon got a special reunion. Thats right. Well show you that and then you can decide. You got something on your right here. Whoops. I did it again. Uhhuh. Hmm. Oh take off your pants, greek boy. Huh . You heard the man. Take the pants off. That will stain. Fuel your pleasure. Dont leave me alone with them. She wasnt good for us anyway. What does that mean charlie . Im confused. Whew i think you will have fun watching the super bowl together. Oh yeah. Hot, are you . I mean i have said theres a lot of yogurt at super bowl parties. Just saying. You know dannon and chobani. Like the yogurt bowl. Thank you. Fun to see you. Hey the new guy is loaded with protein. Really . 25 grams of protein. What do we have . Altogether 24. Hes low fat, too. Five grams of sugar. Ill believe it when i whats shaking . As you get holder protein is an important part of staying active and strong. Ensure high protein, 50 of the daily value of protein, low fat and 5 grams of sugar. Hes a good egg. New research this morning finds a path to obesity could be set by the time your child is in kindergarten.

A new study this morning says the road to obesity starts before the age of 5. Researchers in the new england journal of medicine find overweight kindergartners are four times as likely to become obese by the eighth grade. Dr. Dyan hes is a pediatrician specializing in Childhood Obesity. Good to see you, dr. Hes. Welcome back. Thank you. Hirn andjust the word children and obesity should not go together. Right. Its frightening. What this study shows is that when you bring a child in at 7, 8, 15 its almost too late. In overweight kindergartners were four times as likely to be obese adolescents in this study. Whats the definition of obesity for a child . We start measuring body mass index after age 2 in children. So we have a toll that we use. Its weight over meters squared and we plot a childs weight and height on these curves. And theyre set by the cdc. If the child is 85 or over theyre overweight and 90 or over thats obese. You hear people say oh, its baby fat. When is it no longer baby fat . When youre 5 its no longer baby fat. I have babies that are off the curve but theyre only fed breast milk and theyre doing great. When theyre walking and crawling, theyre burning it off. When youre 5 and youre off the child or over the 90th percentile, thats not baby fat. And its very cultural. People are very sensitive about that. How important is it to begin a healthy diet at what age . Its birth the first solid foods that get in their mouth. And a big thing is not starting solid foods too early. Wait 6 months if youre breastfed. If youre not breastfed after 4 months. Healthy, nonprocessed foods, not giving them juice, nonfat milk after age 2, very important. How much of this is genetic and how much is environmental . Are there things other than food that affects obesity . Absolutely. Lack of exercise. We have kids who live in unsafe neighborhoods who cant ride their bikes after school. In new York Public School they only have 45 minutes of gym a week and they need exercise every day. Getting them out to the ymca getting them to the boys and dirl girls club or getting them moving at home off screen time. Very important message. Dr. Dyan hes, good to see you. Thank you so much for having me. Two proud cities are preparing for the super bowl. We heard from seattle. Now lets go to colorado. Reporter in the battle of super cities denver has all the elements.

Thas ahead. First the guardian is looking at chobani. They cannot label their product as greek in the uk because the yogurt is made in america. Chobani says the fight is not over. The telegraph says Scarlett Johansson is steps down. The sodastream operates. They say its illegal and denies palestinians their rights. And the Los Angeles Times says nearly 25 of seahawks fans fumble their cell phones. Thats compared to only 16 of the bronchobackers. The number one accident at a game is dropping a smartphone. Number two dipping it in a cup of fir. Third, spiking the phone in excitement. Archie mannings son payton is playing in his third super bowl. Archie is in york representing papa johns pizza. Were pleased to have you. Thank you very much. You and payton and eli at your best on the goal line and youre throwing it as far as you can, who throws it the furthest . This would be a long time ago for me but i would say eli. Eli would throw it the farthest which doesnt mean a whole lot. That mice second question. What makes a good quarterback and what does peyton have . Think its a combination of the guys who make it to the nfl. Theres just 32 starting quarterbacks there. Its a combination of the grasping the cerebral approach to the game knowing where to go with the football being accurate. Throwing the football. And being consistent time after time. So when peyton started screaming out ohm harks did you know what that meant . No i arent didnt. I heard his explanation on tv one day. I thought he was on telus. He was putting us on. In the offseason im going find out. Theres some news i want to talk about. Theres a headline that says giant ripoff. It says your son and the giants created bogus game worn football gear to pass off as real. Whats your response to that . I just saw it when i walked in here this morning. I know i dont know one thing about it. I know the giants have been around for a long long time. It looks like were getting news going on. Would it surprise you that eli would be involved in that kunld of thing . Yeah. Players sign a lot of things. Theres memorabilia. They do a lot of things but i think theyve always tried to do the right things. Your two sons of course great football players, theyve been in five of the last eight super bowls. Thats a pretty good record. Whats the experience like each year . Well for parents, its wonderful. Of course, players i played for a long time. We never even made the playoffs so i didnt get close to the super bowl. Thats the ultimate for a player. Thats what you want to do. I didnt get to do that. But as a parent to get to do it five times we look at each other and pinch ourselves. Im not trying to be greedy here and its more fun to win the games when you get in but i wish all parents i really wish ebb who has a son playing could experience this also. When you watch them on the field this is a hard question for a father to answer. Whos better eli or peyton . Oh, i dont go there. You know gayle rates her children in front of us all the time. Its hard to pick. I could never pick. Quarterbacking is not i think too many times we individualualize in football the positions, especially the quarterback position. The quarterback is just as good as the team around them. The giants have had a tough year this year. Broncos had a good year and peyton had a good year. Moist of the years when you say a quarterback is having a great year, his team is having a great game. When you watch the game do you watch it from inside at home . We go to some games. We come up here and see some giant games. We go to denver. But we like to stay home and watch it. Where will you watch the super bowl . Were going to watch with friends. Were going to be inside. Well be outside also. But im going to stay warm. I keep telling my kids enjoy the journey. Its a wonderful opportunity. The commissioner is going to be outside. I notice youre the papa john ambassador. Wheres the pizza . Its a little easy. We can get it for you, gayle. By the way, have you seen peyton and papa in the commercial. Its a new commercial. 30th anniversary. And joe mon tatana is going to show up in the back seat of the car. New commercial. Thanks for being here. Good to see you. Good to see you. Go, broncos. When the seahawks and broncos take the field on sunday the pride of denver fans will be on the line but what city do you think earns the bragging rights off the field. John blackstone and mo rocca are taking sides. Good morning, mo. Good morning, charlie, norah, and gayle. Since john isnt here i want to be fair and say denver is the best city. It just is. Dont take my word for it. See for yourself. Reporter you have to admire a city that reaches for the sky. Denver has the rockies but seattle has two impressive mountain ranges. The olympics over there and this cascades this way including one of the most prominent mountains, mt. Ranier. Did you sea ranier or rainier . Seattle is a total drip. Denver is sunny 360 day as year. Need an umbrella . I dont. Nice try, mo. In fact, when it rains its more of a spritz than a downpour. Its true cloudy dale yy days triple sunny ones. But you can warm up with a cup of coffee. Look, a starbucks. By the payway, who brings a latte to the tailgate . In fact in denver were all about beer. The first pub was opened up by the governor john hickenlooper. Be careful, missouri. One beer goes a long way. Reporter the first group opened up here in Washington State in 1982. Drop in to the pike brewery and you can lift a glass of kilt lifter lifter scotch ale. And wearing a kilt is fine if you wish. Its a hip still. Reporter okay. Seattle hip. But denver has a lot. It has the largest park system in the country. Ladies and gentlemen, ken, national hacky sack champion from denver. Hack hacks in your court, john. Reporter kicking a hacky sack is one thing, mo but how about catching a fish . Whoa. I do mean catching a fish. Looking at the bounty its hard to decide what to have for the inner tonight, salmon cod, maybe oysters. Maybe you havent tasted Rocky Mountain oysters at the buck horn exchange. Dont know what they are . Google them. Lets say you need real kahunas to eat these. Delicious. Love them. The original sack lunch. Reporter i know what they are, mo. But here in seattle, people are more interested in another organ, the brain. They have earned the distinction of another brain. It took some brains to create a tourist attraction out of chewing gum but now people come from around to world to add to seattles famous gum wall. Why not. Reporter look at that. Its americas first chipotle. Reporter well, you know seattles got its own i comic food places but its American Culture goes a lot deeper than that. Lets not forget that seattle is the hometown of nirvana. Their music in the 1990s launched the Grunge Movement that influenced everything from film to fashion. Reporter boy, do i miss grunge and all that flannel. The western snap created by denvers mount is a fashion perennial. Giddyap. Reporter when you ride into the sunset mo, let me tell you. Seattle is the number one commuting city when it comes to bicycle. Really . Bicycle magazine recently named denver as the best place for biking, which is maub why denver is americas least obese city. Back you do tubby. Reporter actually, missouri seattle is also one of americas fittest cities. Thats one of the things that these two cities have in kmochblt lets not forget theyre the first to legalize marijuana. True, john. No matter who wins on sunday ill bring chipotle. This game is being doned the bold bowl. Thanks for wearing that shirt, by the way. Its great. Boy, i love that waitress talking about the ultimate sack line. And the recommend Mountain Oysters are really good in pairs. All right. Thank you. I like the white people with dreads. Nobody would ever call you tubby. Nicely done. Thank you.

So ive only you could decide, okay because somebody in my position could say no. But im saying that im 64 years old. I dont want to have fears, fears of things of being open. Fears of im not going to let a fear stand in the way of something that i believe is valuable. With the enormous success youve had what do you want . I just want to evolve.
