In this case the workplace is the National Football league where Richie Incognito of the Miami Dolphins is accused of bullying his teammate Jonathan Martin. Today an inspect investigator said two other dolphin players also harassed martin and there were other victims. Heres anna werner. Reporter Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jonathan Martin left the team in october claiming he had been bullied and harassed by fellow teammate Richie Incognito. Ct, harassed almost daily. Not only by incognito but two other players as well offensive lineman john jerry and mike pouncey. That martin was taunted on a persistent basis with sexually explicit remarks about his sister and his mother and at times ridiculed with racial insults. And it concluded the pattern of harassment extended to others. That another young offensive lineman not named for confidentiality reasons was incognito defended himself in an interview in november. This isnt an issue about bullying. This is an issue of my and johns relationship where i may ive taken stuff too far and i didnt know it was hurting him. Reporter the report found incognito and the others did not intend to drive martin from the team. But martin told the investigators he had been bullied in middle and high school and his experience with the dolphins led him to contemplate suicide on two occasions last year. In a text message to his mother in april last year, he wrote reporter now, today in a statement, incognitos lawyer said the report is replete with errors, that martin was never bullied by Richie Incognito or any member of the dolphins offensive line. Representatives for john jerry and mike pouncey did not respond to our request for comment. James . Brown anna, how much responsibility does the report place on dolphins management . Well, the report concluded that head coach joe philbin was not aware of any mistreatment and the authors also said that they found no evidence of any knowledge that the dolphins at the dolphins front office, either, but the report does allege a position coach jim turner participated in one incident involving that unnamed player, james.

Wed have to physically close streets for the safety of the general public. Reporter four and a half feet of snow this winter has forced new york city to add 35 million to its cleanup budget and philadelphia with 55 inches has spent nearly twice what it had planned. Eight inches of snow could fall in portions of the northeast tomorrow. James, temperatures next week could hit the 50s, possibly melting some of this mess. Brown pleasant news to many ears im sure, terrell, thank you so much. Most of the Power Outages we mentioned are in South Carolina and Mark Strassmann is there. Mark . Reporter james, aiken, South Carolina, is known for its stately trees but the ice storm toppled and splintered hundreds of them. And 50,000 people in this county still have no power. Aiken looks like a tornado barreled through. One quarter of the 205,000 people without power in South Carolina live in this county. A half inch of ice adds 500 pounds of weight to power lines and tree limbs. This area was caked in an inch of ice. Governor nikki haley. What we are seeing here is worse than i think we would see with a hurricane. We have seen how tough and how damaging ice can be. Reporter 152,000 georgians are also without power. In north carolina, the state Highway Patrol received 200 calls for help overnight. Two drivers were killed there as they tried to help another motorist who spun out on ice. By midday, temperatures punched into the 50s, the thaw came just in time for maria and george kritzas. Their aiken restaurant, the acropolis, lost power for 43 hours. You must have been starting to get worried. Very worried. Very worried. The loss of food and the loss of the business. One day is good but you dont want to be closed too long. Reporter with all these downed trees and lines, Maria Kritzas house still doesnt have power and james, she thinks shell be living by candlelight and extra blankets at least until monday.

And nearly all of california is in drought. In 61 of the state it is extreme or exceptional. Bill whitaker tells us farmers are taking drastic steps. How many acres will you have to leave fallow because you have no water . Possibly as much as 600 acres. Reporter in a normal year, joe dell bosques fields grow lush with almonds, cherries and melons. But with reservoirs in record low it is state for the first first time is cutting off water to growers in the Central Valley farm belt. We are expecting to receive no water from the department of the interior. Reporter no water . No water at all. Reporter the fresno area normally gets about 11. 5 inches of rain a year. Last year it got three. It would take some 45 to 60 days of rainfall in Northern California to substantially relieve the current circumstances. Reporter Martin Mcintyre is local manager of the water system. Californias 54yearold infrastructure is straining to meet the demands of farms, cities, the environment. We need to modernize it, update it, and in some cases expand it. Reporter dell bosque managed to save some water from last year, that will go to save his cash crop, almonds. But he wont be growing melons, his 600 fallow acres normally would produce 600,000 boxes of melons. When we start harvesting here, well have up to 100 people working in this field. And if we dont plant this field, those people are out of work. California produces 50 of the nations fruits, nuts, and vegetables. And that source of food is in danger right now and its going to cause shortages of food and rising prices. Reporter dell bosque is a Second Generation farmer in this valley. He fears hell be the last. Next year, if we have another dry year like this, where we get no water, i think ill just be hanging it up. Reporter behind me is the l. A. River and we are in extreme drought. But up there in fresno county, where dell bosque is farming, it is even drier. In that one county the top Agricultural Producer in the country, 250,000 acres will lay fallow because of the drought and, james, thats an area bigger than manhattan.

Yet this could be the last time this high olympic drama takes place. The n. H. L. Is threatening to pull out of future olympic games. To come here, the league has to shut down at the height of its season so its assets can play for their national teams. It risks its multimillion dollar stars for nothing but good will instead of full arenas like this, you have rinks that look like this and in some markets its tough getting the people back. In fact, its kind of like shutting down a Department Store for christmas. N. H. L. Deputy commissioner bill dailey told us what the fans like the team owners dont. Within the hockey culture its a big deal. Within the Business Culture not so much . I think thats fair. Certainly from the n. H. L. s perspective theres nothing kind of in it from a business perspective. Reporter yet the players love it and so does that newfound hockey enthusiast, the shifty left winger vladimir putin. He may be putting on the last big League Olympic hurrah. Score reporter mark phillips, cbs news, so brown the talented mark phillips. The flu is taking a heavy toll in california. Did g. M.

Announced a recall of 780,000 cars to replace a faulty ignition switch, it said it only learned of the problem last may. But today cbs news obtained a Service Bulletin g. M. Sent to dealers back in 2006. It warns of the potential for the driver to inadvertently turn off the engine by bumping the ignition key or using a heavy key chain. Since then, the switch problem has been linked to 22 crashes in which six people were killed. Today g. M.

Reporter the marines are already flying Training Missions in the f35 and Lieutenant Colonel david berke says theres no comparison between it and todays jet fighters. Im telling you, having flown those other airplanes, its not even close in what this airplane will do for us. Reporter we have planes that are as fast as this. You bet. Reporter and can maneuver just as sharply as this. Sure. Reporter so why isnt that good enough . Those are metrics of a bygone era. Those are ways to validate or value an airplane that dont apply anymore. Reporter but the f35 is seven years behind schedule and 163 billion over budget. In part because the pentagon started buying the plane before it had even begun flight testing. An old adage in this business is you should fly before you buy, make sure the design is stable and that things work before you go into production. Reporter Frank Kendall is the undersecretary of defense for acquisition, the pentagons chief weapons buyer. We started buying airplanes a good year before we started flight testing. Reporter so you buy before you fly. In that case, yes. Reporter just saying it, that doesnt sound like a good idea. I refer to that decision as acquisition malpractice. Reporter to stop the bleeding, kendall pumped an extra 4. 6 billion into flight testing and froze production. Is the f35 program now under control . Yes. It is. Reporter shortly after he spoke with us, kendall issued this memo stating progress is sufficient to increase production next year but he warned the f35s reliability is not growing at an acceptable rate.
