the one-handed swipe and there's your bat man. nicely done. that's sports. more people are going to great lengths for cheaper medical care. hln expert clark howard tells us a simple plane ride can really cut medical costs. if you don't have health insurance, or you are underinsured, where you need non-emergency treatment or surgery, that is very, very expensive in the united states, do you know there's an alternative to financial ruin? in fact ""barron's"" magazine reports it's booming. go overseas to a western style hospital, you have 24-hour nursing in your room, you get the equivalent surgical procedure but the bill is one-fifth to one-tenth the cost of what it is in the united states.
9:06 am
this is known as, believe it or not, medical tourism. and it's become big business in thailand, singapore and india. but before you go overseas for surgery, you got to know, you're going to have a big distance from your family and you got to really check out the facility and the doctors who would provide the treatment. it could keep you from being broke. i'm clark howard. for more money saving tip goes to cnn.com/clarkhoward. >> for more ways to save more, spend less and avoid getting ripped off stay with us for the "clark howard show" at noon eastern right here on hln.

9:22 am
and through commitment to these principles and values we will disappoint anybody who would like to become an obstacle to us, the process. >> hundreds of thousands of votes were tossed out in the first round because of massive fraud. president hamid karzai won it but couldn't avoid a runoff. secretary of state hillary clinton said the race would be legitimate even if abdullah quit. a senior administration official says that the white house supports a credible process, not any particular candidate. police in cleveland are checking missing persons reports dating back to june of 2005. they are trying to learn the identity of the decomposing corpses found in this man's home. anthony sowell was arrested on rape and assault charges yesterday. when police went to his home to arrest him they found the six bodies inside and outside. police say two of the corpses are black females and that one of them died a violent death.
9:23 am
sowell was released from prison in 2005 after serving 15 years for rape. you heard a lot about the so-called public option and the house version of the health care legislation. well, the congressional budget office estimates only 2% of americans under the age of 65 would use that option. the cbo also estimates the vast majority of americans would keep their private insurers if the house bill becomes law even though the cbo is a nonpartisan economic analyst the health insurance industry is questioning the findings. treasury secretary timothy geithner says the economic recovery could be choppy. in an interview that airs today he said it will take a while for the economy to come back. he said this crisis hurt the economy a lot, so it's taking time to fix that and they are encouraging signs in the economy but he refused to say whether the recession is over. he said the real test of recovery is bringing back jobs and investors' confidence. president obama celebrated halloween the same way many of some 2,000 kids came to the
9:24 am
white house with their parents and mr. obama doled out presidential m & ms, dried fruit and butter cookies made by a white house chef. first lady michelle obama wore cat ears and a top with a leopard pattern. mr. obama called her a very nice looking catwoman. the first couple held a reception for military families in the white house. two men allegedly involved with a radical islamist group have an extradition hearing in canada tomorrow. they were arrested in winsor, ontario yesterday morning. a two-year investigation by the fbi alleges they conspired to commit federal crimes. their arrests came days after a shoot-out with the fbi in detroit. the son of an imam killed in that shooting was also arrested in winsor. police in seattle say one of their officers was shot and killed last night. our seattle affiliate reports it was a training officer who was killed. he was in a car with a female

9:26 am
>> looks like it is going to be a little bit better. if you are a phillies fan, hopefully better than the three home runs the phillies gave up to the yankees on the way to the yankees winning. tonight conditions should be better. one of the issues last night of course were the scattered showers, still we see them moving through the philadelphia area. what we expect is for the frontal boundary to drive through. we expect for a little drier air to move into the area for the series. now, tonight for the series itself, we expect temperatures right in the 40s, a few scattered clouds, wind out of the north 3 to 6 and the first pitch around 8:20. meanwhile, for the rest of the nation what we can expect is the frontal boundary to make its way to the eastern seaboard, high pressure building into the ohio and tennessee valleys. pretty nice conditions, a lot of sunshine in a few places like the ohio valley. even back toward texas. but something else we can expect will be temperatures to be a little bit on the cool side in the great lakes with highs that are going to be mainly in the 50s, memphis with 63, 73 in dallas, 86 in phoenix, 68 in san francisco, 52 in billings and 55 in minneapolis.

that's a look at your forecast. i'm reynolds wolf for hln. fishing no longer means the same thing as fishing with a rod and reel. these days phishing is another way to try and steal your money. but our money expert jennifer westhoven is looking out for you. >> there is a new scam out there i want you to be careful of. you heard about banks failing and that can be scary. well, criminals are going to use your fear to try and steal your sensitive financial information. the fdic is warning you might get an e-mail that looks innocent. the subject line says check your bank deposit insurance coverage. if you see that, don't even open it. delete it. it is not from the fdic, it's from the bad guys. the e-mail basically says hey, type in your information and you can check and see if your account, your money is safe, if it's insured. that sounds good but they don't
9:28 am
really mean safe. they mean safe with them. don't fall for that. phishing attacks tripled from may to september. even just by getting ahold of your e-mail account and password they can find ways and maybe worm into your bank account so be very careful. keep your money safe and remember, no reputable company asks you for sensitive information through an e-mail. you can always go to the company's website and log in that way if you want to check something. >> thank you, jen. you can get more money advice from jennifer westhoven each week day on "morning express with robin meade" from 6:00 to 10:00 eastern. its rider got slapped with a dwi. now his motorized recliner is on ebay. and you won't believe how high the bids are getting.

a robbery suspect is in critical condition after a group of people reportedly beat him up. phoenix police say justin pear broke into an apartment late friday night and tried to rob a man at gunpoint. when pear told the man inside not to move or he'd shoot, the man took off. and that's when neighbors stepped in. >> when i came out i seen the gun, i told my kids, get me my bat. and i went out there, we cracked him with the bat. >> he deserved whatever he got. he pointed a gun at us saying give us your money. he meant business. >> three victims had minor injuries. pear has a skull fracture and other life threatening injuries. a marine who recently returned from afghanistan says he was a bit overwhelmed by the reception he got from a third grade class in arizona. sergeant valora was stationed in afghanistan when he was adopted by the class and started getting letters from the students.
9:32 am
he was invited to the school to meet the students and expected a small gathering but the class had other ideas putting on a party. >> i thought i was just going to come home and see the kids in the class. i didn't think it was going to be a huge production, but it's very nice to see how much they think i meant to them but i hope i can convey how much they mean to me. >> and the children sang a song valora is familiar with. "god bless the usa." while he was in afghanistan the class recorded a video of them singing the song and valora played it for his unit. very cool. a hero returns to green bay but not everyone is going to be cheering. larry smith has more. >> how are you. >> for 16 seasons brett favre was the green bay packers, a legendary, record-setting hall
9:33 am
of fame career but today he returning home wearing vikings purple. the 40-year-old retired each of the last two off seasons only to change his mind and play for the jets, now for packers rival minnesota. favre's return to green bay set off a wave of emotions while he's trying to keep his own in check. >> what i accomplished there, and was a part of you can't take that away. from the standpoint of playing there with another team is -- is obviously something new to me. >> gametime 4:15 eastern time. the kansas city running back may have suspension cut in half to one week. it would save larry johnson about $300,000. he also publicly questioned the head coach's experience. a tough season for uconn continues. they were leading late until rutgers tim brown goes 81 yards for the game-winning touchdown catch.
9:34 am
the irony is brown was one of howard's best friends and said later that only howard would have had the speed to catch him. 28-24, uconn with the tough loss. unbelievable catch in the missouri game. the tigers up big and won big taking on colorado. watch this, one-handed, unbelievable. one more look at it. reaches up, back behind, makes the catch. jerrell jackson. what, you have glue on your hands? that's sports. how about this for a mark-up. an item that cost over a dollar sold for nearly 200 bucks. inspectors say one military contractor padded the bills and a lot of your money paid for it.
9:36 am
the parents of a 15-year-old california girl who was allegedly gang raped are urging people to do something positive. their pastor read a statement. police say as many as ten people were involved in the rape which supposedly happened during a homecoming dance. five people were arrested but authorities say a sixth person
9:37 am
won't be charged because there is insufficient evidence. three statesmen who oversaw the fall of the berlin wall nearly 20 years ago were in germany's capital. former president george h.w. bush, mikhail gorbachev and helmut kohl were honored at a ceremony. bush said the wall collapse had more to do with everyday people and their determination than the power of big governments. >> the historic events we are gathered to celebrate were set in motion not in bonn, or moscow, or washington, but rather in the hearts and minds of people who had too long been deprived their god given rights. and the wall could confine them from loved ones and lock them in a failing economic system, but in the end, it could not extinguish the embers of their undying hope or harness their human desire for freedom.
9:38 am
>> germany's former chancellor said the fall of the berlin wall was his proudest moment. an iraqi immigrant accused of running down his daughter because she was too westernized has been extradited back to arizona. u.s. marshals arrested almaleki on thursday at the atlanta airport. he tried to fly to the united kingdom but had been denied entrance and returned to the united states. almaleki is accused of running over his daughter with his car because he didn't think she was living her life according to the traditional iraqi values. noor almaleki is in the hospital in serious condition. what kind of business gets 800% of a mark-up on things it's reselling? federal inspectors say a military contractor in iraq does. and as brian todd reports, if someone's being ripped off your money is paying for it. >> reporter: $196.50 for a box of washers that is supposed to cost $1.22.
9:39 am
$237 for a vehicle side mirror that you and i should pay less than $15 for. that's how much the inspector general for iraq's reconstruction says american taxpayers have been overbilled by a contractor that supplies vehicle parts for the iraqi army. >> we are going to work with the army material command, the army contracting command, to ensure that this money is recouped and the taxpayers' interests are protected. >> reporter: bowen's report deals with a california-based company which provides equipment and logistic support. it's called aecom. bowen's auditors looked at four invoices in detail a tryny fraction of the total and found that aecom could have overbilled the u.s. government $4 billion when it sought repayment for parts and services. try an 846% markup for a jug of coolant and antifreeze. contacted by cnn, a senior vice president from aecom sent a statement. quote, as the report notes, this vice sprez sent a statement. as the report notes, this is an
9:40 am
