WHITFIELD: A look at top stories right now. One of the deadliest days yet for U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Thirteen American service members were killed today in the capital city of Kabul. A suicide bomber rammed his car into the armored bus. The soldiers were part of a NATO convoy going from one base to another. Here in the United States much of the mid-Atlantic and northeast are bracing for heavy, wet snow. The rare October snowstorm is expected to dump more than a foot on some areas, and there's a big concern about power outages and travel delays. And British singer, Adele is preparing to have surgery. Her label Columbia Records says Adele will have throat-related surgery and will cancel all her performances for the rest of the year. She's been plagued by throat problems that forced him to stop her U.S. tour. Adele's album "21" has spent 10 weeks at the number one spot on the charts. We wish her the best. We were lucky enough to have Richard Herman in the house here for the last hour here in the NEWSROOM. He is going to hang out all day. We're going to talk about some other really fascinating legal cases including a case in Mississippi, a proposed law that would make all abortions illegal.</s>HERMAN: Not going to happen.</s>WHITFIELD: And then one of your favorites, John Edwards back in the news this week and Lindsay Lohan, another one of your favorites.</s>HERMAN: And her daddy.</s>WHITFIELD: That's right and her dad. So you're going to keep us abreast of what's going on with those legal cases as well. We look forward --</s>HERMAN: Absolutely.</s>WHITFIELD: Yes, at 2:00, and later on this afternoon as well. All right, I'm Fredricka Whitfield. Thanks so much for hanging out with Richard and I, and the rest of the gang. We'll see you again at 2:00 Eastern Time. Right now, time for "YOUR MONEY."
