playing the philadelphia phillies. tim lincecum and roy halladay against each other. that's it for us. have a great weekend, everyone. we'll see you bright and early monday morning. bye-bye. thanks, frecklebox! storm storm front. a nor'easter drenches much of the east coast with heavy rain and powerful winds. raises concerns of flooding and power outages. dave price is live in new england with the latest on the big storm. going home. at least three of the miners are released from the hospital and begin to head home to face their newfound fame as new details emerge about those harrowing first few days trapped underground, including fears of cannibalism. and daytime drama. >> hold it, hold it, listen to me because you'll learn. >> the conversation with bill o'reilly gets a little too hot, so whoopi and joy walk off the set, and it didn't end there.

we'll take you inside the showdown on the sofa early this friday morning, october 15th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs big crowd big crowd on the plaza here on a friday morning. >> and so enthusiastic, look at them. >> good morning, everybody. i'm harry smith. >> and i'm maggie rodriguez. >> we've been paying so much attention to the story on the texas-mexican border and where david hartley was allegedly murdered two weeks ago. now after all of this week with the execution-style slaying of one of the authorities down there in mexico, they have apparently called off the search. so we will get you the latest on that story in just a couple of minutes. but we begin with that fast-moving nor'easter that rolled up the east coast over the past 24 hours, bringing with it heavy rain and powerful

winds. now pushing through new england where dave price is. he is in rye, new hampshire, and already starting to feel the effects, right, dave? >> certainly so, maggie. the wind and the rain really beginning to pick up. places like philadelphia and washington, new york, mid-atlantic states really didn't bear the full brunt of this because it really began to form once it went out into the atlantic and got some of that energy and moisture, and now in areas through new england it is going to be a very, very tough go. even those folks in places like new york and south are still going to see the effect of winds through the next 24 hours or so. as far as wind gusts and speeds, we're talking about winds 30 to 50 miles per hour as we roll into sections of new hampshire and massachusetts and into maine. as we're talking about the higher elevations, you combine that wind with precip that could be in the form of snow, especially above 2,000 feet. but for travelers who are

traveling the 95 corridor or flying into places throughout new england today, it is going to be a very tough go, and the worst of it probably coming from right now until later in the afternoon. keep in mind there are going to be treacherous conditions on the roadways. the morning is going to be filled with fog in some areas and limited visibility fblt it is an awful morning here as we say hello to an early nor'easter here in new england. we'll be back with a full forecast in just a little while but it is a raw morning here on the new hampshire coast. back to you guys in new york. >> thanks, dave. after the latest on those 33 miners in chile, they're leaving the hospital one by one to start new lives with their families. as we hear for the first time about the desperation of their lives underground before rescue efforts began. cbs news correspondent seth doan is in copiapo, chile, with the very latest. >> reporter: as these miners are leaving the hospital, they're also leaving a very carefully controlled communication bubble. journalists will have more

access to them. in fact there are already cracks emerging in that story line of unity presented so far. the first three miners were released from the hospital late last night in what continues to be a carefully orchestrated, picture-perfect rescue. for more than two months we've witnessed a scene of harmony among them but there are new reports this morning from deep underground that there were uglier moments we did not see. according to free lance journalist jonathan franklin, who interviewed the miners underground, the first 17 days before they were discovered was extremely intense. there was infighting among them that came to blows, even feelings of despair. and there was even reportedly a fear of cannibalism if the situation grew more desperate. those feelings are in the past for now, as the miners continue to celebrate their newfound freedom. carlos mamani, the only bolivian of the 33, had worked in the

mine just five days before the collapse. he said to the crowd i'm very thankful and long with chile. he was welcomed home still wearing sunglasses to protect his eyes but already getting a glimpse of the spotlight. after worrying about their rescue for up to 70 days, day 71 brought the chance for recovery. relatives of jimmy sanchez, the youngest trapped, videotaped their reunion for cbs news. the 19-year-old told the camera he's doing well. the doctors worried he seemed withdrawn. sanchez's uncle, pedro gonzalez, had been dreaming of this day. >> most of the miners appear healthy but doctors are starting to think about some of the longer term psychological effects of being in that mine. do you worry about jimmy? >> translator: of course, but i think with all of the support from his family, that he will be fine, gonzalez told me. at the hospital, one visitor

really stood out, chile's president, sebastian pinero. he challenged the men to a soccer match and joked that the winners could stay in the presidential palace, but the losers would have to go back to the mine. as these 33 men have become global celebrities, their lists of invitations has grown, and i've been keeping a list. there's an invitation to the greek islands for two to sit on the sunny beaches paid for by a greek mining company. there are trips to spain and the united kingdom to watch soccer matches, to chile's coast paid for by the tourism board. the runner of the group invited to the new york marathon. even the president of bolivia would like them to come stay at his presidential palace. it's clear that the lives of these 33 men from a small mining community in northern chile is starting to change. seth doane, cbs news, copiapo, chile. >> all right, maggie.

>> thanks, harry. we turn to politics and a senate debate last night in nevada that could have a huge impact on the next congress. senate majority leader harry reid is slugging it out with his republican challenger, another tea party favorite, sharron angle. cbs news correspondent ben tracy is in las vegas this morning with the latest. good morning, ben. >> reporter: good morning, maggie. you know this is one of the nastiest and tightest senate races in the country right now. the polls basically show it's tied. if the tea party can knock off the most powerful man in the u.s. senate, that would be huge for their movement. so last night in their first and only debate, the candidates were willing to squabble. >> i live in a middle class neighborhood in reno, nevada. senator reid lives in the ritz carlton in washington, d.c. >> reporter: sharron angle drew the first punch. >> her facts are wrong. i'm disappointed that she would suggest that.

>> obama care is destroying our economy. >> that's really extreme. >> obama care. >> extreme. >> reporter: the testiest exchange was over social security, which angle has said she wants to privatize. >> this is an extreme idea and is not good and it will destroy social security. don't frighten people about social security. >> man up, harry reid. you need to understand that we have a problem with social security. >> reporter: yet the debate was mild compared to the two campaigns' increasingly nasty ad war. >> harry reid, the best friend illegals have ever had. >> introducing sharron angle's crazy views. >> reporter: reid said angle's views on abolishing the department of education are too extreme for nevada. yesterday anger here against reid is deep, especially among tea partiers. >> dump harry reid! dump harry reid! >> reporter: they blame him for nevada's economic woes as well

as the bailouts and health care reform in washington. >> in november harry reid is going out on his ear. >> reporter: despite reid's well-oiled campaign machine, he can't seem to shake the insurgent who just raised a whopping $14 million in the past three months. >> you're up against someone you called extreme and path logical. why aren't you doing better? >> again, it's a tough time. people are struggling. they're angry because they're struggling. we've always known it was going to be a difficult race. >> reporter: it's definitely a tight race, and you know this debate was even more crucial because early voting begins here in november on saturday, tomorrow. and the polls in the state show that most people in this state don't like either of these candidates. you could have a situation where you have people filling in that bubble with one hand and holding their nose with the other. >> ben tracy in las vegas this morning. thank you very much. we want to get more now from cbs news political analyst john dickerson in washington. good morning, john. >> good morning, harry. >> i watched this debate on

c-span last night. i'm very curious to know what you think of what happened. >> i watched it as well. clearly there were two different philosophies on display. harry reid was talking about the things he'd brought home to nevada and sharron angle was saying a senator's job is not to bring jobs home but to create the environment for jobs, pushing her limited government argument. but neither one of these candidates did a very good job in the debate. they were sort of confusing at times. their talking points came out in staccato kind of sentences that seemed to be missing. it was not a great showing by either candidate. >> especially if you're the senate majority leader, you're a guy who's been in this business forever and ever and ever, it seems to me harry reid did not do himself any favors last night. >> people used to joke about bob dole who was the majority leader of the senate, he was just stuck in the senate. harry reid had a lot of that last night. he was talking in jargony phrases, naming in washington.

he's not a great public speaker. but if sharron angle was trying to paint him as a captive of washington, he was also helping the case by behaving like a captive of washington. >> he was carrying the puckett and the paintbrush. what if he loses? >> well, if he loses, it's a huge blow for democrats. this is the most important target for republicans out there. and then the question is whether the democrats lose all of the senate. if he loses and the democrats keep control, then there will be a very interesting fight for who the new majority leader will be among the democrats. but if he also loses, this will be a huge boost for the tea party, which is backing sharron angle. >> let's talk about the tea party some more. christine o'donnell had her debate a couple of nights ago down in delaware and she basically said i don't need the republican party. she went on hannity and said i'm in a fight with these guys and she's getting all kinds of, let's call it, unorthodox support in her run down there. >> well, she's down, according to the polls, by quite a big margin, 19 points i think in one

of them. so this race is so different from the angle race, which is so close, neck in neck. so what's happening now, though, is o'donnell is kind of lashing out. she said according to the "huffington post" that she has sean hannity in her pocket and can use him to beat up on establishment republicans. you talk to the establishment republicans and they say she is just out of control. the problem is not just that she'll lose quietly but she's going to take down the establishment in the process or at least is threatening to. >> very interesting. the other thing we want to talk about very quickly is the first lady has been on the campaign trail. is mrs. obama's star power enough to bolster the candidates she's been out trying to support? >> no. if it is, it's just at the margin. this is an attempt to get some democrats out who are lackluster in their support. but a lot of these candidates are in trouble because it's a very bad economy and there's nothing she can do to make that any better. >> very interesting with just a couple of weeks to go until

election day. john dickerson, as always, appreciate your expertise. >> thanks, harry. it is time to get a look at the rest of the day's news, erica hill is standing by at the news desk. >> good morning to everyone at home. the pentagon temporarily suspending enforcement of don't ask, don't tell. a federal judge overturned the ban on tuesday. the justice department, though, is appealing. the president cannot unilaterally end the law. that is up to congress. speaking yesterday, however, mr. obama insisted the ban will, quote, end on my watch. florida's attorney general is praising a federal court ruling allowing a court challenge to president obama's health care reform law. 20 states are part of the suit and among the issues, the constitutionality of penalizing people who don't buy insurance. last week a federal judge in michigan ruled that requirement is constitutional. as mexico suspends the search for david hartley's body, one u.s. official says the american jet skier, believed to have been killed by mexican pirates, may have been a victim of mistaken identity. cbs's joel brown reports.

>> reporter: david hartley, the american reportedly shot to death in mexican waters september 30th, may have died as the result of a tragic mistake. according to the u.s. consulate in mexico, mexican pirates possibly thought hartley and his wife were drug runners when they allegedly shot him in the back of the head as he and tiffany hartley were jet skiing across falcon lake on the tex-mex border. i think what you had is two innocent american tourists who mistakenly stumbled into a bad area and were pursued and the shooting occurred, said a spokesman for the consulate. the tragic event could have been set in motion by the mexican license plates on hartley's truck. on thursday, a security expert told "the early show" how those plates could have given the pirates the wrong idea. >> they were identified by spotters, individuals who are posted as lookouts to keep an eye out for undercover agents

either from u.s. law enforcement or mexican law enforcement, and i think a set of dominos started to fall when they went out on the water. >> reporter: neither hartley's body nor his jet ski have been found, and thursday mexican authorities suspended their search. there is a recess. we are going to look into new strategies, because up to now we have not been able to recover the body. joel brown, cbs news, washington. car chase has always made for pretty good video but this next one we're about to show you sets itself apart. it's going viral online. watch this, it's an escaped prison inmate driving a black car trying to, as you see there, smash his way through traffic. that's not working. hey, we'll just back up, take the motorcycle with me. yeah. listen to these brazilian announcers following it. it's almost like a soccer match.

temporarily for the holiday season across the country. >> how deep of discounts are we talking about? >> right now the discounts are looking like 20 to 40% off, which actually when it comes to toys is a pretty sincere and significant discount. so it is something pretty significant at this point. >> and will discounters kind of continue those discounts? because if people don't show up at the stores, are they going to be desperate to get rid of the stuff? >> this is the age-old question. you think i want to get out and get the best discount but is today's discount going to be lesser than tomorrow's discount? the truth of the matter is retailers generally speaking, they do lower their prices as the holiday season goes forward. by that day after thanksgiving, which we know as black friday, usually that's when prices come down pretty significantly and then cyber monday, which is the day following black friday, that monday following black friday, prices tend to come down and you tend to see the best deals in the last two weeks leading up to christmas. >> prices do come down but

crowds go up. >> it's such a good point. this is one of the reasons why people say, okay, well, there is something in addition to a discount that you're going to get -- >> your sanity. >> in addition to your discount you're going to get your sanity, there's fewer crowds. also on top of that there's this issue about wallet shock that a lot of people face. they go out and spend a lot of money in the month of december and then in the new year when they're trying to start fresh, all of a sudden they have this massive credit card bill. it's a good way if you want to get away from that to start trying to shop now and do it gradually leading up so you don't have one passive bill in the end. >> what is your recommendation for people this weekend? >> i think the recommendation is feel free to go out and check out the stock at these retailers and see if it's something of interest to you and remember they have 90-day return policies. worst case scenario, keep it in the box, keep the receipt and return it when you see the price go down a little lower. >> that is a perfect solution. >> i always want the best discount and i want it for everyone out there too. >> you have our back.

how did it come to be? >> it came to be. i had my second child and i was starting to feel like, wow, this is more difficult. you hear people say that. this is harder than i thought it would be. i was feeling overwhelmed and i ended up joining this second time mom's group. we talked about kid issues and being a mom. we ended up meeting for two years. we started talking about everything in the world. i kind of one night just thought, wow, that would be an amazing thing to bring to people in the rest of the country. people don't have that kind of support system. >> conversation every day. >> yeah. the idea spread around. as you became involved, julie, what are you thinking this show is going to be when it goes on the air. >> when i was first asked, would you ever do a show like this, i was on maternity leave, i had my first child. i thought, if i divorce harry smith and they can get these five women and we can settle that you get our love child dave price in the settlement, i will do it.

when i heard that they got sharon, sarah is not only a co-host panelist but executive producers. when i heard sharon, leah, melissa, i said i'm leaving harry smith. >> i get dave price. wow, i win on that one. what do you feel like you want to bring to television. you've been on television a lot. you've had your own reality show. what will you bring? >> i think being the oldest woman in the group here. i have adult children. >> really? >> moving right along. i think i bring hopefully successfully i brought my children up the right way. i'm looking and talking to julie and sarah who have little newborns, so been there, done that. >> i have teenagers, new teenagers and i'm looking to

sharon to help to get through this. i'm looking to her for wisdom, everyone on the cast. >> you guys were on "the apprentice" together. i'm trying to recall, were you ever at odds. >> of course. it's a conflict-driven show. we were friends before "the apprentice" and friends after. now we get to have conflict every day, harry. >> one other thing sharon brings. she does wisdom and older kids. she has this quality where she doesn't seem to care what people think of her. she will say what's on everybody's mind but they are afraid to say. >> she's baudy. >> will this be your dream job? >> yes. i love being with women all the ti time. >> specifically these women. >> go ahead. >> it's great.

i think what's great about us. we're all very vocal and found a way so far to disagree with each other in a way where we're not pulling each other's wigs out. mine is not in today. i told holly we're going to throw down so i took mine out. >> you've got to be ready. >> you have to be ready. you never know who is going to get into a fistfight. thanks for choking on the joke. >> i waited. >> i'm talking, harry. >> she doesn't have her weave in, she will -- >> throw your down. >> i will fight you. >> all right. your role is a little different? >> are you done with your joke? >> i am. harry destroyed it. >> that's why my job is i have to worry about stepping on

oprah, what? >> i think, if you were to get a big pot and put in, you know, a punch of "the view," a pinch of oprah, a good dose of regis and kelly and cast it with us six women, that's what the talk is. it's a mixture of favorite shows on daytime television. everyone is asking what is the difference between you guys and the view, the big difference. it boils down to two things. we're not going to be as political as "the view" is. it's gotten to be a big political show. >> we're not boring. okay. you've met us now. you have to pick one of us to be intimate with. which one? >> sharon osbourne.

"48 hours" correspondents erin moriarty is here with a preview. good morning, erin. >> good morning, maggie. this is not just about bruce lisker, a man convicted of murder now fighting to clear his name. this is also the story of an unlikely hero, a los angeles police department lieutenant who put everything on the line for

get to the truth. >> my name is bruce lisker. i've spent 26 years in state prison for a crime i had nothing to do with. the murder of my mother. >> reporter: but, when jim gavin, then a sergeant with the lapd looked into the evidence that put bruce lisker in prison, the case unravelled before his eyes. >> in the closing arguments of the case, the deputy d.a. said, look at all the footprints in the house, they are the same as bruce lisker's. >> reporter: gavin discovered those footprints had never been analyzed. he ordered tests. the result? the footprints were not bruce lisker's what did you just realize at that moment? >> that maybe we actually convicted the wrong person. >> when gavin's superiors took the case out of his hands, he put his career at risk by publicly revealing what he had found. >> i want people to know. this could happen to you. this could happen to your loved ones. this should not happen.

>> reporter: unfortunately, though, to make things right for li ker, lieutenant gavin had to take on another member of the lapd, and as you can imagine he's paid a major price for that decision and so has his wyche, carol, who is a third generation officer with the police force. i kind of call them like the accidental heroes. they never wanted to take on this case and at one point even lieutenant gavin said to me, you know, i don't even know why i d. i could have stopped and -- >> how did he come to investigate it? >> well, it is so interesting. it was just happen stance. it was luck for lisker. he had run out of appeals and his p.i., a brilliant p.i. said let's file a complaint against the detective, that goes to internal affairs and landed on the desk of lieutenant jim gavin. anybody else might have ignored a case like this. all kind of luck which made it an amazing story for us. >> if bruce lisker didn't kill his mother, who did?

>> this is what is interesting. we think it's mike ryan, a lot of people do. mike ryan was 15 years of age at the time, a friend of bruce lisker who would do odd jobs for the mother and right afterwards, he suddenly had a lot of money, he disappeared from town. and the reason why we don't know for sure because later mike ryan committed suicide. and so, no one knows for sure but a lot of evidence does indicate it's mike ryan. >> what kind of evidence has lieutenant gavin come up with? >> well, i mean, what was so amazing there were footprints, bloody footprints that supposedly tied bruce lisker to the case, helped convict him. they never, ever analyzed them. lieutenant gavin just did something simple like that and turns out they weren't bruce his ker's at all. >> thank goodness there are people like him. >> it was luck, otherwise i think bruce lisker would still be in prison. >> erin, thank you so much. we always look forward to "48 hours" you can see "the whole truth" tomorrow night alt 10:00, 9:00 central, here on cbs.

>> everything i have. i want my child, my only child, just a baby. i just want to talk to her. please, i want to talk to my baby. >> i can't help you. i don't do that anymore. >> i've got money. >> matt damon and legendary clint eastwood with us this morning. are you tired of that? >> legendary for what? maybe -- >> famous, infamous. i'm really glad the both of you are here today. first off, have you seen the movie with an audience, an objective audience? >> i haven't seen it with an objective audience but i've seen it with an audience that responded well to it. >> when i was in the screening, people throughout the movie were sobbing. this is an emotional subject as you could possibly want to sort of wrestle with. >> it's an emotional subject.

it's something people have thought about and probably been engrained in you from the very -- from young childhood, how -- what goes here after. >> for me, the impact of the movie for me, it's less about that than it is about loss. what do we do with loss. that ends up being the powerful actor in this movie, as people begin to realize who you are. they think you're somehow the bridge to what they have lost. >> right. right. yeah. that's one of the things. the movie follows three stories from around the world. one of them, i think really the heart of the movie, this little boy in london who loses his twin brother. he's 11 years old and just kind of doesn't accept that. he goes on this quest to figure out where his brother is. he's just not going to give up until he finds his brother. and i think that's kind of touching.

as adults we all know lost people suddenly -- we know what the answer to his quest is. that is he's not going to get the answer. one of the things i love about the movie, it doesn't try to tell you what -- but i think it's something that people can all relate to. >> do you feel better, like you're better at what you do now than you've ever been? >> i think so. there's no reason why you shouldn't be better as you get more information as life goes on. you get to a point where you start losing the information and you have to change the file in your head. but generally, yeah, i feel better about it. i feel ie been doing better stuff in the last decade than i did two decades ago. >> you're not going to be another bourne movie? i read about it on the internet. i don't know. >> you're in "true grit" on

christmas day. you're playing -- >> what would have been the glen campbell role. >> there's an irony that i almost played that -- henry hathaway had talked to me about possibly doing that role many years ago with the duke. >> you could have done the john wayne this time around. that might have worked. >> i don't think you've ever worn an eye patch. have you? you've avoided the eye patch. >> i haven't avoided the eye patch. i could do it. that certainly isn't a big deal. i put it over my good eye and stumble around. >> what a pleasure to have you both here. very much appreciate it. >> thank you. >> very much enjoyed the film. >> did you take the mrs. along with you, too? >> we sat there and we walked home hand in hand afterwards. >> did you?

good morning. we still have a lot of problems out there in oakland. new injury crash westbound 580 just before highway 13. three lanes are blocked. so traffic is just beginning to back up. but hey, look how much better

looks at the bay bridge toll plaza. this is a great improvement from yesterday. seems like people are not using the bay bridge as an alternate to the san mateo bridge. take a look at what that looks like. that's backed up a lot worse today than yesterday. they are still continuing that emergency roadwork blocking the right lane approaching the high- rise. and still slow and go all the way just west of the toll plaza. so it looks like it's about a half hour at least from 880 to foster city. and in atherton, this continues to be a mess. el camino real shut down until 10:30 after a fatal accident involving a pedestrian. lawrence has the forecast. >> weather looking good around the bay area. lots of sunshine in spots away from the coast. even the coast trying to clear up a little bit. the fog just lurking right off the beaches right now. but ocean beach not too bad. cooler temperatures for the weekend. clouds going to move in. a weak disturbance sliding in sunday bringing partly cloudy skies and slight chance of showers. ,,,,,,
