conditions, including slippery roads and limited visibility. >> getting there! a little more. >> reporter: less than two weeks after the now infamous holiday blizzard that stranded thousands, and paralyzed more than half the east coast, the northeast is bracing for another dose of winter weather. crews hit the pavement early trying to avoid a repeat of the crippling effects of the last blizzard which dumped as much as three feet of snow. >> coming down early a.m. hours and remember it's cold out, been cold for a while. whatever does come is going to stick right to the ground and we're going to be utilizing salt in the operation. >> reporter: but in new york, mayor michael bloomberg is still taking heat for his city's slow reaction. at least three deaths are being linked to unplowed streets that delayed emergency responders. >> we can spend a lot of time, should have, would have, and could have. my focus to do it better tomorrow. >> reporter: he and others in the storm's path are planning for a better response and hoping

and we'll keep an eye on it for you all day. more on the national forecast later on in the show. >> thanks. keeping you busy today. also this morning, politics and lots of politicking. this morning president obama is getting a new chief of staff while on capitol hill republicans and democrats aren't wasting time arguing over the record-high deficit and health care. cbs news senior white house correspondent bill plante with the detail this is morning. good morning. >> good morning, erica. there's been talk lately at both ends of the pennsylvania avenue about a new spirit of bipartisanship. well, that spirit got sorely tested when the house got down to business and focused on the president's top priority of last year, the new health care law. democrats came out swinging backed by a report saying repealing the health care law would increase the debt by more than $200 billion. >> they're breaking their first promise in their first week. >> reporter: republicans quickly countered with their own estimate that the new law would eventually cost $2.6 trillion.

>> i don't think anybody in this town believes that repealing obamacare is going to increase the deficit. >> reporter: and for the first time in the history of the house, the constitution read aloud on the floor, minus some sections that were later amended like the reference to slaves as three fifths of a person. perhaps the most dramatic moment came when new jersey congressman was reading the section on eligibility requirements for the presidency. >> no person except a natural-born citizen or a citizen of the united states at the time of the adoption of this constitution shall be eligible to be the office of president. neither shall -- >> [ inaudible ] >> except obama! >> reporter: the protester was arrested. >> few americans boast the experience of bilbreying to this job. >> reporter: while daley long ties to the democratic party, he is viewed as a centrist whose wall street connections should help him with the newly-divide

congress. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell sounded positive. >> i, frankly, think it's kind of a hopeful sign. >> reporter: daley was chair of the al gore's 2000 presidential campaign. now he turns his talents to one of the most influential jobs in american government, adviser and gate keeper to the president. >> i share with you, mr. president, as they have done in the last two years that this team will not let you down nor the nation. >> reporter: the president's top priority, of course, is fixing the sluggish national economy. and today, he announces his appointment of gene sperling as the new director of the national economic council, the job formerly held by larry summers. bill plante, cbs news, the white house. also joining us from washington, republican strategist dan bartlett. dan, good morning to you. as you look at the appointment of bill daley, bill talked a

little bit about the breadth of experience there. he is coming from chase, sits on a number of corporate boards. is the message essentially from the white house not only that the white house is open to and for business this morning? >> i think that is the clear message. if you take this, coupled with the tax compromise they made at the end of the last year, it is sending an important signal. we'll see whether it's symbolic with regards to the personnel situation or substantive and told more about that in his state of the union address and the budget later this month. >> the compromise, you know, bill mentioned he's really seen as a centrist, bill daley is and told "the new york times" in the past he thought that the administration miscalculated health care and doesn't always see eye to eye with the president on this. is this also an attempt perhaps by the president to continue that little bit of cooperation that we saw in the lame duck session? >> it seems that way, erica. on one hand, bill daley is the perfect pick. pedigree and credentials as a

partisan. he led the recount for vice president al gore and sam time as commerce secretary as bill clinton, in many different postings, he's had, he's had the ability to work across party lines, work with the business community and understands because he served in senior posts on wall street. he has a unique opportunity, the president does, with this pick to send a real signal not only to congress but america and independents who kind of moved away from this president to say, hey, take another look. we understand, we'll move to the middle. so in many respects he's picking up where he left off at the end of the last year with political momentum. >> any concern about the more liberal folks of the president's party feeling alienated and not happy with the choice? >> that's the challenge for him going into re-election. you have to take care of the base and enjeer ichiro suzukier. the bigger political problem for them, the independents and those who came to the defense and his

support during his '08 election, those are the critical votes going into the re-election and that they'll find other ways to keep their base satisfied. and a lot of that base satisfaction will come from the republican nominee once they're selected. determining so much. you worked in the white house, dan. talk to us a little bit about the timing of not only this change but the other ones coming from the white house. >> well, i got to admit. that's the one part of somebody that's worked in the west wing, i give a little bit of pause. these are the types of decisions easier to make in december when things are winding down and the holidays are there to get people settled into the roles, get people comfortable with the nuri them of a chief of staff of people running something as important as the top economic positions and it's a very hectic january trying to get the state of the union address ready, to get the budget ready to roll out so a lot of long nights and early mornings in the west wing. i'm sure they'll figure it out

but that's the only thing from the practical standpoint. >> aren't they always long nights and days in the white house, dan? >> they are. >> dan bartlett, good to have you with us as always, thanks. >> thank you. >> that's why there's turnover every couple of years. let's get more news now with jeff glor on this friday morning. good morning, jeff. >> long nights and early mornings here. >> there you go. >> good friday morning, guys. good morning everyone at home. mail rooms in maryland state office buildings reopening this morning but officials watching for more suspicious packages. yesterday, two devices ignited when they were opened at separate office buildings there. two people were slightly injured. both packages contain notes, one complained of highway signs. reports this morning of stepped up security in london. britain's sky news reports extra police at the city's airports and train stations. london's emergency services have been briefed on how to respond to an attack like the one that

killed more than 170 people in mumbai, india, in 2008. the labor department's latest unemployment figures thought morning and showing a significant drop. rebecca jarvis has more on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. and this puts our unemployment rate for the country at its lowest level in more than a year and a half, unemployment dropped in the month of december from 9.8% to 9.4%, there were 103,000 jobs created in the month in the travel, in the leisure, in the hospitality industry. as well as many temporary jobs and retail jobs but many annual itselves and economists are scratching their heads saying, well fewer jobs created than what we were hoping for, how did the unemployment rate dip so dramatically? the concern on wall street is that people decided to leave the labor force and not count themselves as looking for work giving up on looking for work.

this is how stocks reacted in the immediate aftermath of the report. it is a pretty tepid day as far as the response goes on wall street. but that's in part due to the fact that people are trying to parse through the numbers and understand what this means for the future, one big thing going forward is going to be consumer sentiment. do we feel more strength because the unemployment rate is continuing to notch down? and if we do feel that strength, will we spend more money? jeff? >> rebecca jarvis from the floor of the exchangs this morning. finally, an amazing rescue in india. an elephant rescue. a baby elephant fell into an open well and spent a day half submerged while they planned the rescue. they dug a ramp so the year-old elephant could climb out. and when it was free, yeah, there you see it. didn't take long. the elephant ran back into the forest just as fast as it could. we turn back to the weather

and we run over to marysol castro once again. good morning. >> very busy morn

>> thanks so much. more on the national weather forecast later on in the show. chris? >> thank you very much. now the latest on the $380 million mega millions jackpot. one of the winners has come forward to claim his half of the giant payout and despite the attention, he says it won't change his family's small-town ways as ben tracy reports. >> reporter: the odds were about as long as they get. 176 million to 1. so when jim and carolyn mccullar realized they had beaten them, they weren't surprised, they were stunned. >> i was pale, shaking. she thought i was having a heart attack and said, are you okay? i said, yeah. i'm perfect. i said, where are the lottery ticket? >> i got the tickets. >> i says, look at this. >> and it was sure enough our numbers. >> she looked at me and screamed!

tears started flowing down and i looked at her and i started crying and i thought -- all she could say was, is this real? is this real? and i says, i pinched myself already. we better hide. >> reporter: and with good reason. in tiny ephrata, washington, all 7,000 people searching for the person with the winning ticket bought at the local safe-way. >> we saw predators and afraid to do anything. >> reporter: jim and carolyn married for 41 years decided to lay low. he told his boss at pillar rock realty he wouldn't be at work. they split the jackpot with another winner in idaho. they're still in hiding. >> the legacy is going to go generation after generation after generation. my kids, my grand kids, my great grand kids an their children, also, will never have to worry because we're not going to blow this. >> reporter: two days after the drawing, the couple figured it was time to collect their

mega-sized check. >> our wallet's empty, four, five, six, seven, $8. and $190 million. >> reporter: after paying taxes, they'll get about 90 million bucks. >> been married 41 years. i know what to do with this check. >> reporter: ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. jim's a smart man. honey, here's the check. >> there you go. you always dream of what to do with the money and then we hear the stories about so many people that win big, squandered it, the lives taken a turn for the worse. great to hear him say we are not going to mess this up. >> exactly. to pass it down generation after generation and then the nice part, never worry about the empty wallet again. >> i don't think so. >> no more $8 in the wallet. mother and son together again. another amazing story. the homeless man with the golden voice ted williams caps off the fantastic week by reuniting with his mom julia. >> a lot of catching up to do. fears for tears.

chris in the last couple of days about how you've been genuinely concerned for obvious reasons of ted over the last few years. when you had that moment, when you had your son back in your arms, was he the man you were expecting to see? >> yes. i knew he would be overjoyed with all of this and i said, is this the son, my little son, prodigal son has come back home. >> yes, that's what he said. >> ted, people are so overwhelmingly happy and joyful for you with the opportunities. your mom is obviously very happy, but julia, we talked. there's also skepticism not only from mom and other people out there. how do you prove to mom and the people out there that, you know what, you are on the right path and won't go back to the way things were? >> what's different is what my mom instilled in me, to keep god first. first and foremost. and that's what's different now

than before. last time i didn't mention god. i never thanked him for anything. you know? and this time around, nothing will be taken for granted. i think if i keep the focus on or keep my sight on keeping an ongoing relationship with god then i'll be all right. i think i'll be all right. >> you are not concerned your step daughter's said we are worried it's a bad thing for ted, the fame, you know, could send him down the wrong path again and how it started. you're shablging your head you're a little concerned, as well. >> very concerned, very concerned. >> i guess that's rightfully said because two years is not a great length of sobriety, enough to say i've got this mastered. it is one day at a time but with all of this crazy aduh lags, i was talking to a therapist, a psychologist an i was telling her, i said, you know, i'm not bipolar and never taken medications but being a recovering addict, i have to be

careful, i wanted a nerve pill yesterday to be perfectly honest with you. she said, listen, you have to learn to meditate and not medicate. >> yeah. >> so that's what i'm trying to, you know -- >> you'll need that. off lot of work coming up. >> you are a busy guy right now. i said things have been quiet. i was kidding. how do you now -- you see all these offers on the table. how do you pick one and decide what you're going to do next? you have a full docket right now. >> i chose one that was very, very nice and somewhat a little lucrative i might add with kraft. i'm the official voice of the kraft macaroni and cheese and that's exciting. >> and when you -- you have offers as chris mentioned pouring in from radio offers. >> yes. >> movie deals. >> and the cleveland cavaliers. >> you say you're seriously considering that. >> yes, i am. only because of -- well, outside of the fact that i do adore the cavs, you know, with or without

lebron. >> that was the next question. >> well, what they did was the lady that offered me this home, they also offered me a home in cleveland and everybody's making so light of the fact that it was lebron's old house. but, you know, yeah. it's close to columbus and where my children and grandchildren live and my mother's great grandchildren live. to tell you the truth, there could be anywhere to fly her back, now listen this, to fly her back to new york, relocate her to go out to pasture together, i would love to do that but my mother has linked herself to new york that i can't pry her away from her vote in brooklyn. >> maybe instead you make your deal to bring you out here often to see mom. >> yeah, yeah, they may have -- >> cleveland lost a king and now maybe you can be the new king of the area now that lebron's gone. living in his house, take his place. which wouldn't be bad.

so let's say you are working for the cavaliers, give me something. >> welcome to the court the cleveland cavaliers! >> right there. >> yeah. >> i love watching your face, julia. listening to your son. >> you know, when i was young and would do this type of thing, i'd say, mommy, you know, 1490 -- she would look at me and say, stop that, stop that. she thought it was -- she couldn't -- >> a few days on and you talked about this over the last couple of days but you have had days to be sinking in, reunited now. >> yes. >> what is it like for you on this friday morning looking at the man sitting next to you? >> it just seems like it's all a dream. it is not true. it's all a dream. that's what it seemed like to me. >> wake up, dorothy. >> that's right. >> ready for family dinner this is sfwheekd. >> yes. >> ted, i don't go to motels by myself. i won't do all that. >> she looked at me the way i

their level of testosterone goes down and they are less sexually attracted to that woman and find her less attract i've. >> compared to other mammals, humans the only ones that cry. what are we talking about as far as the function of tears. >> it is interesting to note that. what tears do is lubricate the eye, flush out any dirt, keep it clean. obviously when you're talking about emotion, it's also sometimes a way to express yourself, tears of joy, tears of sadness, tears of grief. as we're seeing more and more, some people have a greater propensity to cry than others. >> tears have been making headlines recently. house speaker john boehner is a cryer. what makes some people bigger cryers than others? >> they don't know. some of the theories include hormones. men with higher testosterone maybe tend to cry less. women with higher estrogen tend to cry more. there's a neurotransmitter in the brain known assay serotonin.

this study only focused on men smelling women's tears. they haven't really looked at male tears and what that does to women. personally, i've only seen my father and husband cry once in my life and that's when my dog died. so i think that will be an area of ongoing research. >> on a lighter note here with this study, after women hear this, do you think we'll see more women crying or maybe more women not crying. >> i think the interesting thing about the study is if women are crying to manipulate a man's emotions, probably not working too well. >> dr. jennifer ashton, thank you so much. you're watching "the early show" here on cbs. cbs healthwatch sponsored by citracal. citracal is calcium citrate so it can be absorbed with or without food. he recommended citracal. it's different -- it's calcium citrate, so it can be absorbed with or without food. citracal.

witnessing that reunion? >> incredible. four, five minutes able to watch, as most of us were, and he just -- just him running down the hall saying, mama, mama, mama, and the tight hug and after two, three minutes of the conversation, she became mom to him again and was telling him, you know, hey, don't blow it again. you know, you've got to keep your life together. >> let's play a quick clip of the moment with ted and it his mom yesterday. >> i just love -- finally got to that moment where the armpits started sweating. she just sat there and was like, hi. it was a beautiful moment. >> you mentioned she quickly turned into a mom again. we saw a little bit of that this morning when she was here. she is one strong lady. >> yes. >> and she expects her son to make good on this, but she's not 100% that it's going to turn -- continue along this golden road.

what feeling do you get? >> she is a strong woman and she kind of represents a lot of women, a lot of mothers whose sons have gone wrong and yet, you know, she's seen him come back home and wants him to have the best life possible. and she's not going to put up with any funny business from him, i'm sure. >> did you ever think when you first heard this voice. you saw the sign on the side of the road, took the flip cam video, did you ever think days later after the video first went viral you'd be in this position? that ted would be in this position? >> no. i had no inflorida nation it was going to take on the magnitude it had. i shot that six to eight weeks ago and sat on it through the holidays. didn't put it out on the intern internet. got busy with other news during the holidays. i was swamped with stuff to do. then the new year started. this week, monday. it's a slow news day, nothing going on. i thought, hey, i've got that video, homeless guy with the golden voice on my computer. i checked it over and put ton

watch this. take a look. >> i taught high school english for four years and i loved it. i can't say that i have a lot of country on my ipod. i do have some lori berkner. for my children. i group up in a very diverse street, baychester avenue. we were puerto rican, we had jamaican, irish, trinidad and polish. i grew up playing stick ball and street ball. and to this day i can go back and people are just so proud of me. a super power? i'd love to be able to morph into anything.

shape out of a bucket in the form of water. my very first job was coaching gymnastics and then i was a waitress and i was so bad, that they decided to make me a hostess. that was sort of their nice, humble way of saying you really stink at this, but we want to keep you. my first crush was jesse kenworthy. i was a freshman, he was a junior in high school. and he was tall and he had green eyes. we dated for a spell, and then he got tired of me. jeff, if you're watching, clearly i moved on. my grandfather. my grandfather was a jew and he fought in world war ii. had a huge part in raising me and just worked five jobs, he married a puerto rican woman in the '40s when that was not really in vogue and just a

really funny man. he is definitely the most interesting person i've ever met. earliest memories, when i was a kid we used to go to duffy square to the tkts booth here in new york city and my grandfather would bring me to a matinee show to see a broadway musical. and he'd make me get dressed up and we'd go downtown and inevitably i would freeze and he would go to the peanut guy and get a bunch of different packages of hot peanuts and he'd stick them in my coat. so i remember nothing of 42nd street or chorus line or singing in the rain but i remember waiting in line and my grandfather keeping me warm and having warm peanuts and probably smelling like a peanut too. a perfect day is a day where i have my two children and -- two boys and where we do absolutely nothing but just where we sort

of wake up and see where the day takes us. the wrestling is at a minimum. >> i didn't know i could but i think i love you even more. >> your kids are beautiful. >> thank you very much. they are. >> and jesse kenworthy, what a mistake, you made a big mistake, buddy. >> i love to hear you talk about your grandfather. all of us are very close to our families and heard you talk about your grandfather but we didn't know the details. >> my dad died when i was ten so my sister and mother and grandfather raised us. my catholic mother and my jewish grandfather. you know, i learned the hard way a lot of things. >> we all watched the competition a little bit so we've seen marysol, and i remember, you know, when i first heard it was her, i was like,

clothes? >> you don't have to feel completely constricted, and we love shapewear, but there are ways to do it, playing with proporti proportions, a little visual cues that sort of draw the eye to different places. these are the thing us doebts have to go out and buy. everyone can do no matter their shape. >> accentuating the positive. >> yes, we are. >> the first model is amy? >> co-founder of madison-plus. the go-to plus size website for women. her outfit is not doing it. way too boxy. not doing her favors. we gave her a work outfit that really slimmed i. love this, too. >> the number one point here is color blocking. one of those things to look for. we're seeing it on the shape effects jacket. choose it's color blocking to disguise the areas that aren't at slim as you'd like. >> and the lines, you are right, they really draw your eye. you see beautiful waist, gorgeous curves and not stuck in black. >> elongated lines that create negative space.

next step, skirt should be knee length. because basically, that little part just below your knee is just a beautiful little thin shape on most every woman out there. if you cover that, then you're losing a little bit of perfect show in your leg. >> not too short. >> unless you have game gams you can go a little high perp this is the universal length. >> and carrying a clutch in your hand. carry it in your hand, why? >> instead of 2uking a clutch under your arm, it can rumpble fabric and smoosh out your arm and add the illusion of bulk. instead, carry it in your hand. >> great tips, as always. up next, lisa, a new mom. looks fantastic. >> lease zisa is a new mom. we're proving because you're wearing dlashg color its or black does not mean the outfit is slimming. all of these piece was not the right cut. we're learning here, the number one slimming secret is, proportion is very, very important.

cut is very important. >> right. so in terms of the portion and cut, where want things to hit, obviously. has all the black underneath before, all covering on the outside. >> start with the jacket. showing structured tops and jackets create that hourglass shape. you're seeing the structured shormds. nipped in at the waist. adds to the waistline and look down a little at the shoes. wrap we didn't do, we weren't noticing the shoes. they are a matte color, not patent or patterned not colored. that really, keep that monochromatic look makes you look cleaner. >> congratulations on that baby. up next -- >> here we have sarah. now, sarah had a weekend look that a lot of women are sort of guilty of doing. kind of the comfy top, the baggy long sweater. the flats. >> flats. >> you are not doing any favors for showing off, you know, that

figure. especially if you want to show off the slim line. >> this is a super cute weekend look i. >> love this weekend look. of course, sthohowing, belts ar always your friend. make sure they hit at your international waist. >> not your hips. >> the slimmest part. >> some like to do the -- stick right at the tiniest part of your waist to create that sexy waist. >> when you say up here, not too high. looks like you're wearing a maternity top. >> exactly. >> no one wants that. >> definitely not. also, believe it or not, horizontal stripes can be flattering if thin. >> because i was going to ask, subtle stripes on the sweater here. >> on ma cardigan. on the tank, a little wider, a little more vivid except again not big and thick. avoid that. also dramatic details can be emphasized on problem areas. for example, beautiful flower on the tank top draws all eyes to sarah's face. that's what you want. she has beautiful skin, beautiful hair, beautiful face.

that's where want the eyes going. >> why hide it? up next, alecia wearing a knockout dress and a lot of us looking to slim down, feel slimmer, you don't go for a print. >> not necessarily a print. even this solid dress she had on before, the length isn't right. isn't fittinger in the right areas. usually you think avoid patterns but you really want to avoid busy and overall bright colorful patterns. go for something more muted. alecia looks great that stunning. i love it. >> the silhouette, this is a great figure-hugging dress but the sleeves are longer. if your arms aren't quite at toned, you don't want to wear sleeveless a great option and the waistline, helps. >> and i'm a big fan of this, evidenced today. we're all wearing tights. >> we are. >> with a shoe that you're again doing that monochromatic -- >> opaque tights, kweep it in a similar shade. the whole look is long, lean and elongated. i want to point out, inspiration

you haver in ability on the inside is fun to play. >> did you have to convince anybody? you hadn't done anything that was really like this before. your other role, much more polished. you had been the beautiful emmy rossum rather than the dirty, gritty one we're seeing here. >> i think i definitely, it wasn't the obvious choice for the role. yeah, i had 20 fight for it. i auditioned a bunch of times. came in in ratty jean, a tank top. the fourth time in the same outfit to the audition. they wondered if i had any other clothes. that was the challenge and for me that was the challenge in getting the role. >> describe this family. this gallagher family, because we saw the clip of william h. macy, you couldn't tell at home. that was actually bill macy flat out on his back. give me the family, the relationships of these -- >> the gallaghers a family of six kids in chicago. the mom's m.i.a., the dad unem ploimed alcoholic. the task of putting food on the table in the day-to-day life of living is up to the kids and my character fiona as the oldest sister kind of becomes a

pseudomom for the kids. >> you are the glue that holds everybody together. great scenes in this. this is on showtime and people who watch it will see that there's nudity in it. is that -- difficult, to do scenes like to? because -- >> well yes, but it's always done in a kind of confined environment, all the actors feel comfortable. for me, i always had reservations doing in the past. this time around it felt like if you're showing a family in a real-life situation, romance and sexuality is such a big part of people's real live, to edit that out because people think it's taboo soups odd. >> everybody is so good. even as a kid, the young kids, to get that type of family. where it is such dysfunction on display. did it ever concern you that, how are we going to get all of these pieces to work and work well? >> it's funny, because all of the actors are, many of the actors who play my siblings we're all only children. there's a part of us that always wanted to have that big family.

even though they are dysfunctional, the dled that goes through all the episodes is how much love and trust and loyalty think is together. it's a real family. >> this is based on a british show. >> yes. >> did you go back and research that show at all or did they want this to be something totally different? >> they wanted it to be fresh. so i have not watched the british show. i think as an actor you want to start from a place, from a blank canvas. >> yes. your love interest, someone you snu -- does it make it easier when you have to be kind of romantically involved, already have a pre-existing relationship or start fresh from that front as well? >> we in real life have more of a brother-sister relationship. i think he likes to tease me a lot right before we'll do romantic scenes. he likes to eat a tuna sandwich and then we go in for a kiss. >> that's great. with friends like that, who needs enemy, right? >> yes. >> congratulations. i have seen it. i think it's great. >> thank you. >> it really is. you are wonderful. really are good.
