that is just how cold it has been in parts of the midwest. hello and happy saturday to you. i'm brooke baldwin sitting in for fredricka whitfield you are in the cnn newsroom on the first saturday of the year 2010. a new year, a new low for pakistani militants suspected in a suicide bombing that killed 90 people at a volleyball tournament. our is arwa damon. >> reporter: it's been a devastating start. people of lakki marwat taking to the streets mourning friday's devastating suicide attack. the attack took place during a volleyball game in a residential neighborhood where some 200 people were gathered. most of them were teenagers. the force of the explosion was so large it also levelled eight buildings in the area. police are saying that they believe the pick-up truck was packed with 300 kilograms of explosives.

we saw the death toll rise dramatically after the initial attack. that because police are saying it was difficult initially to ascertain how many people had been killed, but also because this is not an overly developed area. it is not equipped to deal with this type of an attack or with these types of casualties. local leaders saying they believe that they were targeted because they supported a military operation to clear out this area of militants back in october. after that operation, they had formed a peace council and said they received numerous threats from the militant. arwa damon, cnn, islamabad. a somali man with an axe trying to break into the home of a cartoonist has been charged with attempted assassination. the home belongs to kurt westergaard. he drew the prophet muhammed cartoon. the cartoon sparked a lot of uproar among muslims specifically.

over the past few years there had been multiple suspects arrested for plotting to kill that same can torist. british prime minister gordon brown wants to extend the growth of extremism in yemen. he is requesting an international meeting later in london and that would coincide with a conference on afghanistan set for january 28th. a milestone in iraq. the u.s. military reports no, zero, u.s. combat deaths for the month of december. that is the first time since the war began nearly seven years ago that we've seen that number. in 2009 it was the least violent year for troops in iraq. the top generals call it progress. >> there has been sustained progress, and that progress has been maintained even after u.s. forces moved out of the cities.

that progress continued even as u.s. forces have drawn down now as you heard me say to about 110,000, and i am confident that progress will continue over the course of this new year as we reduce our forces further, as iraqi forces continue to grow in capability and in number. >> december was the first month since the war started that the u.s. had zero battle casualties in the month. we had three nonbattle deaths, but zero deaths due to combat operations inside of iraq. that is a fairly significant milestone for us as we continue to move forward. i think it also speaks to the level of violence and how it's decreased over time. >> certainly some encouraging news out of iraq. out of afghanistan, there is a big political setback for president hamid karzai.

parliament rejected 70% of his choices for a new cabinet, including the only woman nominated. karzai's choices were seen as a first test of his quest to build a legitimate and accountable government. many of the nominees were criticized for having been picked for reasons other than their competency. back in our nation's capital here, the senate republican leader strikes an optimistic note. mitch mcconnell saying he understands why show thors might be weary of the political infighting in the nation's capital, but says disagreements are indispensable to a healthy democracy. while the u.s. faces major challenges here, the minority leader predicts better days ahead. >> two long and difficult wars, a prolonged recession, double-digit unemployment, difficult days for our nation. in this new year, we are grateful for the courageous men and women of our own day who keep a lonely watch to defend the cause of liberty.

we are also painfully aware of how many americans were out of work this christmas, but these challenges don't define us as a people. what's always defined americas its ability to overcome even the most daunting difficulties. >> president barack obama is pledging to hold accountable everyone involved in that botched terror plot back on christmas day. cnn senior white house correspondent ed henry has been traveling with the president in honolulu, looking like a beautiful day. big day for the president coming out officially on record saying, yes, we are linking this thwarted bomb plot to al qaeda. the president is talking tough today. >> reporter: that's right. happy new year to you. the president clearly saying for the first time in the strongest lack wage that he believes there was an al qaeda link to this terror incident on christmas day, linking it to the al qaeda group of the arabia peninsula.

he made clear to americans he is fighting extremists, terrorists in yemen, particularly, where it's believed there are these ties, number one, but number two, he is also tough on u.s. officials saying if there are intelligence officials who had some information suggesting there could be an attack, suggesting this event ul suspect had ties to extremists and think didn't share that information, as they failed to do he will hold them accountable. >> it's now been more than a week since the attempted act of terrorism onboard the flight in detroit christmas day. thursday i received the preliminary findings of the review i ordered into our terrorist watch list system and air travel screening. i directed my counterterrorism and homeland security advisor at the white house, john brennan, to lead these reviews going forward and present the final results and recommendations to me in the days to come. as i said this week, i will do everything in my power to make sure our hard working men and women in our intelligence, law

enforcement and homeland security communities have the tools and resources they need to keep america safe. this includes making sure these communities and the people in them are coordinating effectively and are held accountable at every level. >> reporter: typically this saturday radio internet address is on domestic issues, economy, health care, et cetera. this is the first time in a while it was on security. clear signal this white house realizes that the terror issue, national security, challenges on the home front are clearly on the back of the front burner. >> we know the president and first family will be traveling from hawaii back to washington. how will the president implement these plans? he talked about the tools and resources needed. how will he then implement the plan? >> the biggest thing to look at is tuesday when he's got his first full day back at the white house. he'll go into the situation room for a security meeting, head of cia and other intelligence chiefs.

he could be calling them on the carpet to find out what went wrong, but more importantly, what he has been stressing today and in recent days here in hawaii, the more important thing is to find out what the intelligence community is learning from this. what fixes need to be made so they can toughen things up and prevent future attacks. that is the most important part of all. >> we'll look for that tuesday night. ed henry reporting the last few days from the beautiful honolulu, hawaii. tonight cnn will be bringing you a special look at what some people are calling the breeding ground of terrorism. disaffected young muslims. christiane amanpour hosts "the war within" only here on cnn. and if you spent too much money this holiday season, we have got you covered. coming up, the first family of finance. hi, guys. the dolans are here to show you how we can get ahead in the new year. ♪

>> then if you can't afford to be paying for this all in full, what you want to do is be sure you make them at least the minimum on all your credit cards that were used, preferably minimum on the lowest interest rate cards and more on the highest interest rate cards. >> some can seem so daunting. when you look at the number, it can seem huge and perhaps chipping away. >> and that is a good point. as you look at that number and you take daria's advice, the importance of minimum payment which makes a lot of sense, if you simply can't do it and you're totally flipped out, it is so important our cfn viewers call the creditors. the last thing creditors need is a surprise. hey, i'm over my head, i can't make minimum payments, let's work it out together. >> and for everybody, the quickest, easiest, no-fail new year's resolution is to, if you already have them, get rid of the department store credit

cards. their interest rates are way too high. for the rest of us, don't succumb to the you'll say an extra 10%. learn how to say no. >> streamline. what about we think about our credit score and some people need to go to debt management counselors. people are worried would that hurt their credit score by seeing one? >> they call them a debt management program. >> i will say this quickly before ken answers this. we used to have a friend who did our radio show with us a great deal who headed up a nonprofit consumer credit counseling service. he said if you've got, if you're having problems paying your bills, you're going to look bad no matter what you do. you might as well get it fixed the right way. >> can a dmp maybe impinge on your credit score negatively? it may or may not.

here is the deal. i don't want you to get foreclosed on. i don't want you to go bankrupt. we don't want you to go far, far back in your credit card payment. get help. >> so get help. >> and fico says they do not use a dmp on your credit rating negatively against your credit score. it may show up in your credit history. >> good alternative for a lot of people. >> real quickly, what are some of the hot careers for 2010? >> let me just say this. get all your skills as upgraded as you you can if you're looking for work. statistically right now there are six workers looking for every one position. >> get better at what you do and get new skills. two hot areas, computers, trouble shooters, computer systems, computer support. another area as we are getting

older and that's health care. registered nurses, physical therapists, medical records. >> dental assistants. >> stick around. on the other side of the break -- >> we're leaving. >> please don't leave. stick around. show and tell you weren't always my favorite day. with all the pet hair in the air, i'd spend class preoccupied, bothered by itchy eyes. but now i have new zyrtec® itchy eye drops. it works fast, with just one drop, to relieve my itchy eyes from allergies for up to 12 hours. no other allergy itchy eye drop works faster or longer. which is good, 'cause there's a lotta paws to shake. with new zyrtec® itchy eye drops i can love the air™.

number one, get organized. get a basic filing system. if somebody needs to find something, a mortgage, a deed, life insurance policy, where is all that stuff? basic filing. >> also start saving. if you can save even a buck, put a buck away. every little bit helps. and all those brokerage statements you snuck in that bottom desk drawer or maybe put close to the secular file, get them out and take a look at what you've been doing. plan on making some changes. >> here is a wacky concept. get your debt under control and live on less than you earn. oh, my heavens. >> easier said than done, guys. >> it is, but you know something? you can shop more wisely this year by taking your time. there will be more deals down the road when they realize the consumer isn't coming back like he or she used to. >> there's a start.

old credit card in her deceased husband's name. >> technically you are not responsible for debts not in your name. >> you became the beneficiary, i'm guessing, of you are your entire husband's estate, meaning anything he had just stayed with you and i'm guessing as well you probably didn't need to use an executor for a will because everything was jointly owned. ergo, the loss of this particular bill that might be owed by him has to be paid by his estate. >> i think she wants to know why it took so long. back to february 28? it's been a while. >> that is a while. she can check with her state department, consumer protection

and see if there might be some statute in heretic state. >> and she needs to ascertain that it truly is his by asking them to send a copy. >> she wants paperwork. let's get this next one from danielle. i like this one a lot because there are a lot of people out there asking where can you find funding in this economy to get your own business going. >> first place i want her to check on because it's not working all that well for everybody and their brother -- are you making fun of me? >> i was talking to somebody else here. >> stop that. the small business administration has a division strictly for women. i think she needs to go to sba.gov and take a look at what's available there. it takes a while, it's the government, but they are looking

to get more women into their own businesses. that is a great starting place. >> entrepreneur.com, website of "entrepreneur" magazine. and also another good website on financial aid, et cetera, myamericanbenefits.com. >> i'll post those links online for everyone. >> a lot of people asking similar questions about that opt-out option. >> especially with all the new rules taking place in february. the answer is, i have no problem opt 0ing out. i'm of the opinion it is not going to hurt you. how anybody can be hurt opting out of an overly expensive credit card with the grace periods that don't make sense.

opt out. >> not so quick, debit breath. if this is a long-standing card, an old card you had around for years and years and years, believe it or not, closing it on your own desires can hurt your credit rating, lower your credit score. >> especially with good payment history. >> and if you have a good payment history. >> that's interesting. >> exactly. >> let's bring up the fourth one. >> first of all what options does she have? and ethically, what should they do? >> i love that question. >> which begs the point of one

of the things we said to get organized, check your brokerage statements. if she had really looked at a brokerage statement that came in after that transfer, she would have known or had enough sense to question when there was still time to fix this. >> here's the deal. if she owes taxes, she has to pay taxes. the brokerage, irs will forgive her the penalties if she can prove it was the brokerage's fault. payment, yes, with interest, yes, penalties, no. fight it if it's a brokerage fault. >> contact an accountant. >> you've got the blog there. >> thank you so much. >> you can head to the dolans' website. this week they'll look how you can find money for college.

new year, new snow. a new england snowstorm is threatening to keep people indoors all weekend long. strong winds expected in vermont, new hampshire and maine. they are forecasting a foot or more of snow in portland, maine, by the end of this weekend. most of the country dipped way below zero degrees this morning. meteorologist jenison bravely ventured outside the studio in

chilly minneapolis. >> i'm belinda jensen in minnesota. as we look at temperatures, this is what we were dealing with this morning, a bunch of spots at 30 below and below that, as well. you can see in the metro officially down to 15 below. a lot of the suburbs saw their coldest morning of the winter so far. in the state of minnesota, a lot of areas will not get above zero today. in the metro we are hoping to get to 1 degree. first the snow, now the cold. we had everything this holiday season. the arctic plunge looks like it will last at least a week. we warm up to 11 degrees on wednesday. that is our warmest temperature in the next seven days. >> i think i heard that right, jacqui jeras, they are hoping to get to 1 degree?

have you ever seen a weather map like that? >> i have. that's where i grew up. that's my hometown, girlfriend. belinda is my friend. i love her, she is adorable. you get used to it. you stay inside. it gets too hot in the summer in the south and you stay inside. that's why i never think of taking a job in my hometown because they do weather outdoor there. it is bitter cold even by minnesota standards, across the upper midwest. you see this big purple area where temperatures are 20 degrees below the average. that is not factoring in the wind chill. the coldest wind chill was brand falls, minnesota, 15 below zero. it literally takes minutes for the skin to freeze. unfortunately, the arctic blast will grip the eastern half of the country the noex couple of days. grand forks 35 below zero.

light snow, fog and mist, 25 degrees. your wind chill is at 12 above at this hour. we are looking at four to eight in the city. this is lasting all weekend long because our area of low pressure is doing what we call retro grading, moving backwards so it will linger in the coast on sunday and start to pull out by monday. it's causing a lot of travel delays. we have a lot of those holiday travel lingerers going on. unfortunately, look at the delays at the airport. over an hour for everybody on this list. it's due to the low clouds and fog and windy conditions across the northeast. even have one closed airport, sun valley, idaho, due to wicked winter weather there. >> i'm heading to the airport to pick up my brother flying in from portland, maine. hope he will make it. forget about reinventing the wheel.

proprietier of coco's variety. this is my personal workshop where i build the machines i dream up. the hands-off era is over. land fills fill with cheap broken vacuum cleaners. maybe this stuff should be reparable. it's reasonable an individual should be able to do that. it makes green sense. it makes financial sense and it makes good sense. when this farnsworth radio cabinet showed up in somebody's house, all the neighbors came over to see it. i wanted to update it to what would make sense in my life now. it's got a computer in it and it syncs up to the ipod. i'm not a collector of any single thing. i'm looking broadly for pocket knives and bicycles and old car parts and mechanical gauges.

my favorite stuff i find along the way are the things that are worn by human hands. the best objective's ever gotten was this lowly skippy jar. it's all the earthly treasures of a kid in the '50s. this is my urban gorilla drive-in movie theater. the movement brought together disparity groups making electronics or crafting. i wrote "the maker's bill of rights." if you can't own it, don't own it. you need to be able to modify, hack, repair, rebuild and reuse the stuff you buy. i think that's the great thing about the maker movement, is that it is a group of passionate individuals that are willing to make those mistakes. uh-oh.

now i'm joined by cnn photo journalist bethany swayne. during the commercial break i just became a fan of your "in focus" on facebook. my first question to you is why take on green solutions specifically? >> the environment is an important issue. we wanted to tell stories of people not just talking about being green but actually were doing it and living it such as mr. jalopy. an interesting way he is living his life in recycling beyond cans of plastic bags that are the traditional way of recycling. >> i never heard of the maker movement, but there you go. let's back up a minute. what is this "in focus" series? >> we started two years ago. basically, we take on a topic and we'll do 12 to 14 stories by different photojournalists across the network. the pieces are written, shot,

produced and edited by the photojournalists. we like to put a different spin and different angle adding our perspective. we've taken on the environment, health care, military jobs and getting in hard times. the pieces are different because there is no journalist involved. >> chuck the reporter to the side and let the story speak for itself. you have to have some favorites of all the different in focus pieces. >> absolutely. we did over 80 stories this year. there are 14 in the hour that's airing in about 15 minutes. one of them is the piece you just saw. one of my favorites we are holding to the very, very end. it's about a man who plays taps in long island. there are a lot of military funerals out there that will have taps played as a recording. he now tries to make to them as many as possible. it's a touching way to finish off the hour. another of my favorite pieces is

at the top by photojournalist chris turner. he goes to the martin guitar factory in pennsylvania. for 125 years they've been making guitars. in "jobs that last," we look at different industries and different people doing the same jobs for generations. that was one of those jobs we did chris did a great job. >> so awesome, i look forward to it. bethany swain, you can go to facebook.com/cnn in focus and become a fan. fantastic. the full hour of "favorites in focus" coming your way in about 14 minutes from now, 3:00 p.m. eastern time only here on cnn. aliens, mandates and the fate of the world on the line.
