who have come to pray and pray with the family and to pray for him. >> how did your week change at the church when you found out this week that you would be hosting the ceremony? >> well in a sense my week changed because i wasn't here. i left the parrish last year but i came up this week specifically to help with the funeral because the pastor's own brother died this week and he's burying his brother this morning. and the associate who was running the place has only been here for a few months. so i had been here for a few years and they asked me to come back and help for the week. so here i am. >> you talk about taking things into overdrive, though with the president being there, like we mentioned a second ago, there is a security sweep going on now. with all of the different things you need to do to prepare to host something like this has it been a huge undertaking? >> nonstop barrage of phone calls and meeting with people. everybody has been wonderful in helping us handle it all. but it certainly has been lots

of phone calls being made lots of discussions about how exactly we're going to get everything done, all sorts of setting up lights and cameras and everything in the church. and just the security issues as well. so yes, very busy. >> father matt allman thank you, we know you have plenty of work to tend to. thank you for taking the time to talk to us. father matt allman from boston this morning. you're looking at pictures of the senator's body still laying in repose at the john f. kennedy library in boston this morning. and the body will be moved to the church in the next few hours. and like we mentioned earlier, we want you to stay tuned here to cbs. we'll have updates all day long. harry smith will be here for live coverage of the funeral today. it will be again, what we saw last night, very emotional, anecdotal, but that celebration of life last night was a great window. >> a great story that we learned little bits we'll be carrying that for you throughout the

morning. now to another story happening on the west coast. four major wildfires raging near los angeles. 10,000 acres have now been burned. governor arnold schwarzenegger declaring a state of emergency for both l.a. and monterey county. even moving into the central area of the state. most of those fire fighting efforts are focusing on flintridge. sandra hughes is there this morning. good morning to you. any luck overnight in starting to contain the fires a bit more? >> reporter: well no such luck overnight, erica. hundreds of homes are still threatened. and residents are hopeful despite triple digit temperatures expected for today, that firefighters are going to be able to beat back the flames before they make it into their neighborhoods today. >> right now it is pretty much out of control. it is running where it wants to run. >> reporter: with bone dry brush and seering temperatures this fire may be on the run. but many homeowners decided to

stay put. despite the voluntary evacuation orders. >> are you going to stay or going to go? >> we'll stay until they kick us out. >> reporter: camille melbourne has been packed and ready to leave her la canada flintridge home since thursday. >> this is what is unnerving, that's what we have been watching. >> reporter: they also have been watching the water drops, essential help from the sky. >> see how accurate these guys are at dumping that. they're so good. >> reporter: there is no better example of how good than to see the results of this major fire which broke out thursday night in the affluent coastal community of rancho palos verdes. despite the hundreds of homes in its path only one gazebo and outbuilding were destroyed. no houses burned thanks to the aerial assault. >> thank you, thank you, thank you. the first responders did their job. >> reporter: now containment in

that rancho palos verdes fire is up to 90%. containment here at flintridge is zero percent. however, the wind is expected today to be calm and the fire is now, right now burning away from homes. so that is all going to be very helpful for firefighters today. erica? >> what folks in the area want to hear as well. sandra hughes live for us this morning. thanks. want to get a closer look at the other weather we have been talking about this week, whether or not there will be a break on the east coast. lonnie quinn is standing by with our first check of the weather. >> the latest information on danny, not even a tropical storm anymore. danny is now a tropical depression. wirdrdrdrds down to 35 miles per hour. located in the area of cape hatteras north carolina. take a look at the video. really who has been receiving the brunt of danny has been the ocean. you look at the mid-atlantic coastline there. unfortunately there is some really dangerous rip currents developing because of this storm. it has resulted in fatalities.

so anywhere along the mid-atlantic and east coast today is not a day to be jumping into the water. elsewhere, there is a cold front from top to bottom on the eastern half of the country. a lot of rain out there. not associated with danny. this will push through, danny rides up a little later in the day, expecting places like suffolk county east end of long island and massachusetts, cape cod. i'm talking places like hyannis with a flood watch in effect. a lot of rain for you. should not be damaging winds in the hyannis area. >> that's your latest weather. it is going to be absolutely picture perfect in the heartland

today. all right, turning now to the top stories of the day, hari joins us. >> good morning, everyone. the attorney for michael jackson's doctor is blasting a statement from the los angeles coroner ruling jackson's death a homicide. jackson's doctor acknowledged giving jackson drugs that the coroner says killed him. more now from cbs' michelle miller. >> reporter: the short statement released by the los angeles county coroner's office confirmed details leaked earlier in the week that michael jackson's death was a homicide caused by a mixture of the powerful anesthetic propofol and anti-anxiety drug larazapan. the homicide ruling means jackson died at the hands of another person. but whether criminal activity such as gross negligence or intent to harm was involved remains undetermined. >> i told the truth. >> reporter: dr. conrad murray jackson's personal physician at the time of his death, has been identified by the los angeles police department as the target of a manslaughter investigation. dr. murray's lawyer, ed cher

novemberchernoff said murray did not give him anything that should have killed him and said -- >> reporter: legal analysts say it is only a matter of time before police press charges. >> it is actually very surprising the charges have not yet been filed, particularly given all the evidence that appears to be mounting against the doctor. >> reporter: at the request of the lapd the california attorney general's office announced friday it launched an independent investigation of all of the doctors in the probe. michelle miller cbs news new york. celebrity disk jockey am was found dead in his apartment in new york a year after surviving a plane crash. his real name was adam goldstein. last september he and the drummer for blink 182 were the only survivors of a private plane crash in south carolina. police reportedly found a crack pipe and prescription pills near his body last night.

goldstein was the star in an upcoming reality show in which he staged interventions for drug addicts. he was 36 years old. a cbs news correspondent is in stable condition this morning after being seriously injured by a roadside bomb in afghanistan. cami mccormick was on assignment for cbs radio in logar province. she was treated at a field hospital. an american soldier was killed in that attack. 45 service members have been killed in afghanistan making this the deadliest month in the eight years of the war. space shuttle "discovery" blasted off from cape canaveral seconds before midnight last night. the twice delayed launch lit up the night sky. they are expected to arrive at the international space station tomorrow. nasa says it appears no foam insulation fell from the fuel tank during the launch which could have damaged the spacecraft. at least two people are waking up millions of dollars richer this morn ging there were two winning tickets in the mega

millions lottery. one was purchased in the bronx, in new york city here and the other in san gabrielle, california. the fourth largest jackpot in history. it is played in 12 states. here are chris and erica with their winning tickets. >> yeah, i did want to make a small announcement this morning. >> you were in the bronx yesterday, weren't you? >> i was in the bronx. and i'm going to go now. >> if a-rod won that darn thing, it is fixed. >> it is fixed. >> thank you. coming up the friendly skies just got friendlier. they're offering amazing deals to frequent fliers. how to get the most mileage out of your miles. after the abduction, a look at the challenges victims of captivity face when they finally do come home. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. oówé?oççow

. can't get the flights you want. according to peter greenburg, those times are changing. many of the major airlines courting you, the loyal customer, with great deals to make it easier for you to redeem

those miles. peter is here with all the details for us. good to have you back with us. >> good morning, erica. >> i'm a skeptic when it comes to things like airline miles because i seem to not be able to use mine when i want to. is this really about the customer? >> remember these three words limited time offer. the airlines make more money from their frequent flier programs than they actually make from operating the airline. that's right. >> wow. >> they make gazillions by selling mileage to partners but they also control the redemption. if they can keep the redemption under 10%, that's a better return than the sopranos get. >> why are they trying to increase their return now? >> receipts. they have carry the unredeemed miles on their books. for this brief period of time where passenger demand hasn't come back dump the miles. >> now is the time to dump your miles. we start with united.

they're getting rid of some of the last minute ticket seats. >> that was really bad. they used to charge $100 to redeem miles within like seven days. >> which is ridiculous. >> they got rid of that. that tells you how many extra seats they have. >> they're getting rid of that. american is doing something which i think seems to make so much sense. flex reward. >> you can get a one way mileage ticket now, and the reason for that is simple. how many airlines like southwest and jetblue are selling tickets based on one way basis. >> we're talking for most airlines on average, 25,000 miles for a ticket you could do the same for 12,500. >> and it is more flexible. >> when it comes to delta, delta is making a couple of different changes, specifically when it comes to its mileage, customers, members of its loyalty program. >> they have a three tiered program where you apply miles or money depending which level of

seats you want on the plane. the coolest thing about it is their rollover provision which allows you to roll over a lot of your miles to the next year's elite qualifying status so you get the upgrades. >> which is great. >> that is great. >> and more flexibility on how you use the miles when you move up to the next tier. jetblue is saying that all seats are available for mile redemption no blackout dates. really? >> all seats that are available are available for mileage redemption. they won't do any blackout dates. give you the one month pass for $599, that's how many seats they had available in september and october. go bowling on those flights. the bottom line is for the time being, why not make them available? they want to dump the miles if they can. >> testing this all out, one of our producers tried to test out jetblue, booking a flight from new york to l.a. and yet -- >> i'm ready for a shock. >> miracle of miracles couldn't get on the desired flight. >> you mentioned the word desired flight. got to beat the airlines at their own game playing by their rules when booking the frequent flier miles. we got tips here.

number one, pick alternate airports. pick burbank or long beach instead of los angeles. providence instead of boston oakland instead of san francisco. other thing you want to do is pick alternate routing. this will sound crazy. i have a friend who wanted to go l.a. to hawaii no seats available. he said how about l.a. salt lake hawaii. >> is that worth it? go to salt lake to get to hawaii in. >> he got to hawaii. he got to hawaii. he didn't have to go through newark. >> okay. that's one way to do it. if you have extra time -- >> and then the other thing is think strategic partnerships. every major airline, american is one world with british airways and lufthansa and -- >> air france. >> basically start looking at foreign partners to get you where you need to go. >> i like that thinking very much. >> do it fast. as passenger demand grows that window closes. >> will this last until the end of the year? >> no. >> peter greenburg, always a pleasure. i appreciate the honesty. just ahead, we're going under

the radar. might need some miles because we're taking you to london to meet the lady gorillas hungry for a little companionship, oh my.

a lot does happen. we added a kazoo to the end of the music.

welcome back. i'm erica hill also of cnn's "ac 360." and i'm with chris wragge. >> let's enjoy a little under the radar time. video that gives new meaning to the phrase hungry for love. female gorillas at the london zoo went ape over pictures of a soon to be souter. they have been without male companionship. they gave him a picture of a gorilla named boa. they promptly ate the photos. they say that's a good sign. females can expect romeo later on this year. >> until he finds out they were eating pictures of him and he's like no no i do not go. i just stay. next up if you think america has talent oh my friends, check out ukraine. the winner of ukraine's got

talent casania used sand and her hands depicting ukraine. it is a spin-off of simon cowell's got talent franchise which started in the uk now in 28 countries. her eight minute moving performance set to music, look at that susan boyle, no sand no fans. >> feel good performance of the year. >> and a history lesson too. >> finally, something diehard baseball fans will love. lovers of the game can support their favorite team in the after life. this los angeles dodger casket is the latest courtesy of the company called eternal image. they're located in michigan. for $4400, you can spend eternity with any of the major league baseball teams urns are also available for $800. so far 200 caskets and over 2,000 urns were sold. the most popular, the boston red

sox, the new york yankees, and the chicago cubs. >> they're in michigan you say? >> yes. >> they better get working on the packs. >> and the cubs fans. still ahead, much more to come on a serious note. we'll look at what hello again. here's what people are talking about today. what once was tropical storm danny has weakened to a tropical depression as it passes by the maryland coastline. ocean city is still prepared for rough surf, dangerous rip currents and rain. waves expected to be between 7 and 10 feet higher than thunderstorm. warns swimmers to stay out of the water or stay alert. two swift water rescues in carroll county happened close to the pennsylvania line. a person became stranded as a nearby stream quickly swelled

from the rain. police say a man was driving drunk and passed a road closed sign and is under arrest. crews had to use haz-mat suits to remove 21 dogs and puppies from a home filled with piles of feces and fleas. today's exclusive first warning weather forecast is for showers around this morning followed by clearing this afternoon and then a high today in the low to middle 80s. not a bad day. with what we could have been having. that's our report. thanks for joining us.

welcome back. jaycee dugard is finally free but will she ever be the same? today, a look at the challenges facing victims after abduction. welcome back to the "the early show." i'm chris wragge. >> i'm erica hill also of cnn's "ac 360." a close look at that. we'll see things on the lighter side in our next half hour. switching gears for a red hot menu. chile peppers, peruvian jing seng west african tree bark. this has nothing to do with "chef on a shoestring" this morning, though we have one of those too. all of these ingredients

apparently pump up the passion and put you in the mood. >> just what you need at 7:31 in the morning. >> a little tree bark goes a long way. let's get caught up on this morning's headlines. >> good morning. the world health organization is warning to prepare for another more severe strain of the h1n1 flu virus unlike the usual flu this dangerous form of h1n1 affects the lungs of young and otherwise healthy people. 15% of those hospitalized require intensive care. countries in the northern hemisphere are advised to expect a second pandemic spread that could affect up to a third of the population. a missing child case in california is now a homicide investigation. the foster parents of a 5-year-old disabled boy have been arrested on suspicion of murder. hassany campbell disappeared on august 10th, last seen by his foster dad, no word on what led to the couple's arrest or why police think the boy is dead. his body has not been found.

president obama says the lessons from hurricane katrina will not be lost t. more than 1600 people were killed and louisiana, mississippi, $40 million worth of property lost. in his weekly radio address today, president obama acknowledges that red tape has made recovery slow. he says 11 members of his cabinet will be assessing the recovery to find ways to speed it up. those are the headlines. now a check of the weather. >> i was remembering the horrible scene with katrina. a little good news now. what was tropical storm danny has been downgraded. winds blowing at 35 miles per hour. it is no longer a tropical storm. it is a tropical depression. and it is going to weaken even more so as it pushes to the east-northeast, 80 miles from cape hatteras. bringing big rain to places like the eastern tip of long island. also places like hyannis, massachusetts. the other big story, we got fires burning out of control in

southern california. i know the firefighters are doing a better job now getting a lot of that under contain. however, mother nature not helping at all. we're talking dew point and humidity levels in southern california. you ready for this? 8% humidity. nowhere do we feel air that dry in the country like we have it in southern california red flag warning still in effect. that's going to do it for weather. i just want to make one little point here about danny and danny's now just a tropical depression, still a lot of rain for the east coast. we have got flood watches all over the place.

it is not even because of danny. danny is being ushered out by another cold front and that has more rain than danny has. a west day for thet day for the east coast. after being kidnapped 18 years ago at the age of 11 jaycee lee dugard finally coming home. but can children kept in captivity ever really find a normal life? a look at what they face after they come home. light & fit has 80 calories versus 100 in the other leading brand and a taste you'll find...

>> reporter: even though jaycee dugard is reunited with her family, her struggle isn't over. >> she was in good health but living in a backyard for 18 years does take its toll. >> reporter: that toll often psychological becomes the focus for dugard who was 11 when she was kidnapped. she was held captive for 18 years in a concealed backyard compound. the suspect is a convicted sex offender, who allegedly raped and had two children with her. jaycee's story has disturbing similarities to a case discovered last year in austria. 73-year-old joseph fritzl locked his own teenage daughter in a tiny windowless basement for 24 years and fathered her seven children. 15-year-old shawn hornbeck of missouri was freed in 2007 after four years of captivity. he said he was threatened with death if he tried to escape. his father says patience is key. >> i wouldn't even ask any questions. there is plenty of time.

it took 18 years for this to happen. don't try to get all the answers overnight. >> reporter: the father of elizabeth smart knows that all too well. in 2002 his 14-year-old daughter was kidnapped in salt lake held captive for nine months. >> things can never be the way they used to be. but there can be a new normal for them. >> reporter: terrell brown, cbs news new york. >> that new normal that ed smart mentioned f the dugard family will come with help from many people including specialists for the national center for missing and exploited children. joining us is ernie allen. we heard ed smart talk about this new normal. shawn hornbeck said you can't ask any questions in the beginning. this recovery process, is it really about recovering who jaycee may have been or is it about finding a new life for her and a new normal a new jaycee? >> it is about moving forward a day at a time. the reality is in these cases

these children have to be reintroduced to their parents, to their parents they're frozen in time. jaycee is still that precocious 11-year-old. and her parents are going to look very different than they did 20 years ago. so what we're trying to do is to empower her, to give her the ability not to erase those 18 years, but to seize the reins of her own life and to move forward. >> so how specifically do you start doing that? members of your team are headed out there to help the family. what are say, two things you tell the family to do and you tell jaycee to do to make that process easier on both of them? >> i think the most important thing is to tell the family that they need to be patient. this is a process, it is a journey, not going to happen quickly. but we're going to say to them that you need to love jaycee unconditionally. and we're going to continue to reinforce to jaycee this is not

your fault. nothing you did was wrong or inappropriate. we have got to learn from that. we have got to rebuild the bonds and we have got to move forward. >> there is a question of her children ages 11 and 15. these girls have never really been outside the compound. we know they have never gone to school never seen a doctor. how do you introduce them now to life on the outside, in the real world? >> it is very difficult. and you follow that same process. you're careful, you're patient. again, you reinforce with them that they have done nothing wrong, but this is going to take time. and it is going to take love and care and it really is a journey. >> most important thing there is love. real quickly, we tend to compare past cases because that's what we know. elizabeth smart has come up a lot. she was held for nine months. jaycee dugard was held for 18 years. can you compare those two situations? >> well we can compare the situations. and i think the comparison is one of such hope elizabeth

smart is a remarkable young woman who certainly can't forget those horrendous nine months she spent, but she demonstrates that the human spirit is resilient and there is hope. we can move forward. the good news is that jaycee dugard is alive, she's still young, she has the rest of her life before her, she has these two children who are going to be a part of her life we need to rebuild that family. >> ernie allen, great to have you with us this morning. thanks again. >> thanks erica. >> stay with us. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

come up talking about health care after his passing. interesting. also this morning, a little return for our "chef on a shoestring." you may remember him from our super bowl feast. chef tim love is back and he has the love burger for you. you know you want to find out what's in that. >> a lot of love in the room. >> we want to get you updated on our top stories. the latest in the jaycee dugard case. she was kidnapped 18 years ago when she was 11 years old. neighbors are coming forward to say they had their own suspicions about this man. here is cbs's john blackstone. >> reporter: in placerville, california, philip and nancy garrido were taken to court where they pleaded not guilty to 29 counts including abduction, rape and the false imprisonment of jaycee dugard. jaycee disappeared in 1991 while waiting for a school bus near her lake tahoe home. the 18-year-old mystery began

unraveling on monday when a campus police officer in berkeley noticed something strange about garrido and the two young girls with him. >> my initial impression of him is he was clearly unstable. >> reporter: that encounter led to the discovery that garrido had a hidden second backyard a jumble of sheds and tents, authorities believed jaycee was held captive there for 18 years, and gave birth to two children fathered by garrido. garrido spoke of the girls now aged 11 and 15 in a phone call from jail. >> those two girls, they slept in my arms every single night from birth and i never kissed them. >> reporter: some neighbors say they knew garrido was a convicted sex offender so they figured someone was keeping a close watch on them. but authorities now admit they missed opportunities to discover the terrible secrets of his backyard prison. john blackstone cbs news antioch, california. >> coming up we'll speak with the hero cops who followed their gut instinct on that uc berkeley

campus to catch phillip garrido and rescue jaycee dugard and her two young daughters. we'll have more on that. now over to chris who is following this morning's other top story. in southern california firefighters continue to battle raging wildfires dangerously close to los angeles which have claimed around 10,000 acres so far, making matters worse, today's forecast predicts another day of triple digit temperatures and very low humidity. cbs news correspondent sandra hughes is here with the latest for us. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, chris. as you mentioned we have four major fires burning across southern california. burning about 10,000 acres, and the winds are supposed to be calm today and that's good for firefighters. but the triple digit temperatures those are not good for firefighters. now i'm going to go through and give you a little run through on what's going on in all four of the fires. down in rancho palos verdes the southern part of los angeles, we have got about 90% containment on that fire.

six houses were damaged but miraculously no houses were destroyed in that fire. the hemet fire is east of los angeles. that is not threatening any homes and we have about 10% containment on that fire. fire near azuzu, california which burned 2,000 acres, is 85% contained. no homes now are threatened and no homes burned. the real problem is here in la canada flintridge the -- what firefighters are really going to be focusing on today, about 5,000 acres have burned so far. zero% containment on the fire here. a lot of hot spots still. you can see those probably over my shoulder burning. but the good news is that the wind is very calm. in fact right now, i can't feel any wind at all. and that is really going to aid firefighters today in that triple digit heat. chris? >>sandra thank you very much. sandra hughes in southern

california for us. like she mentioned, at least no santa anas, no wind. now over to hari with the rest of the headlines. good to see you. tropical storm danny downgraded to a tropical depression but is still a force to be reckoned with. the surf and rip kurncurrents for a second week in a row. they're warning of a strong underto after a 12-year-old boy was lost in the waters off virginia on friday. he is still missing. ichael jackson's death is officially ruled a homicide. the los angeles coroner released a statement on friday that says jackson died from acute intoxication from the anesthetic propofol. jackson's personal physician, dr. conrad murray has told police he gave jackson propofol the morning he died. there are no reports of u.s. deaths or injuries in a suicide bombing today in afghanistan, but two -- and more than 20 injured. 45 american service members died in afghanistan this month making it the deadliest month since the

war began. the latest was an american killed by a roadside bombing on friday. cbs news correspondent cami mccormick was seriously injured in that attack. a funeral mass will be celebrated this morning in boston for senator edward kennedy. later he'll be buried at arlington national cemetery near john and robert kennedy. cbs news correspondent john axelrod is in boston this morning. good morning, jim. >> reporter: that mass will be celebrated at the basilica behind me. a place of enormous personal meaning for senator kennedy. it is first place he came after receiving his cancer diagnosis last year. the senator prayed here daily when his daughter kara was facing her own cancer battle. he would live inconspicuously, kneel and pray at the shrine of the lady of perpetual health. >> a little indescribable, the comfort you get here. kennedy knew that too. and i'm very happy for that.

♪ when irish eyes are smiling ♪ >> reporter: the funeral will follow a more light hearted celebration of the senator's life last night. >> and two weeks ago as i was coming out of surgery, i got a call from ted. well he roared between going through prostate cancer surgery and doing town hall meetings, you made a great choice, he said. >> reporter: the family wanted something close to an irish wake with music. ♪♪ >> reporter: and with stories and laughs. >> there we were just two weeks before the caucuses and his voice boomed out, you voted for my brother, you voted for my other brother, you didn't vote for me. and as the crowd roared with laughter ted bellowed but we're back here for john kerry and if you vote for john kerry, i'll forgive you.

>> reporter: three former presidents will attend the funeral here today. the current one, president barack obama will deliver the eulogy. >> jim axelrod in boston. here is chris now with this week's early line. >> before senator kennedy is laid to rest the battle over his health care legacy has begun. democratic senator robert byrd has already suggested naming any health care reform legislation after kennedy and while even republicans are invoking kennedy's same spirit of compromise our question for today's early line is what impact will senator kennedy's paing have on the health care debate. joining us to discuss it, rich lowrie and jennifer duffy, and in boston, outside of the basilica basilica, jennifer palmieri. good morning to everyone. >> hi chris. >> jennifer i'll start with you in boston now. the strategy of using this senator's name as a rallying cry for health care reform could this back fire for democrats?

>> -- it is perfectly appropriate for friends of his like senator kerry to say that the senate should pass -- will pass this bill in his honor, but i think that where you get into problems is where people start to use his death to advocate for a particular outcome on the health care debate. i think that is probably inappropriate and, you know people will be inspired by his death and the inspiration will be whatever it will be and it may inspire people to become more involved in the health care issue to push for it. i don't think you want to organize political campaigns around it. i don't think it would be effective and i don't think it is particularly appropriate. >> rich your thoughts on that. could it back fire? >> absolutely. it will strike people's emotionally as exploitative. i don't think it will change one vote. the kind of people who want to pass this big bill to honor his

memory are the people that support it already. the swing votes on the democratic side represent more red states swing districts where teddy kennedy exemplified liberalism. one reason this bill is sinking is because is it exemplifies liberalism already. >> there is talk of naming this kennedy care. what do you think? does this help health care reform or not? >> i don't think it makes any difference at all. i think democrats resolve to pass the bill may be strengthened by kennedy's death, but none of the fundamentalals of the debate change. the problems that existed in july will exist in september. >> conservatives will be quick to jump on the fact that democrats are using this to -- using the senator's death to exploit this whole issue. is that fair in a sense? >> yeah, i mean you had the secretary of hhs saying the other day, the key question on the health care debate is what would teddy do?

you have senator byrd wanting to rename the bill after him. so i think jennifer duffy is right, the problems with this bill are central to its substance. it doesn't have anything to do with the marketing or what you're going to name it and the key blows that have been delivered against it have been from the independent congressional budget office saying the numbers don't add up. >> let me ask you, how did it hurt the president with senator kennedy's passing? a huge ally in this fight for health care reform how does this hurt president obama? >> well none of these events happen in a vacuum. it is possible his passing will have an impact positively on the debate. i think that you know losing to your friends and colleague that the president lost is difficult for him, but they're going to soldier on and they have, you know senator dodd has been working and senator kennedy's absence, passed a great bill out of committee. i think that the president will

if the bill probably gets a message, will probably fill his seat so there is another senator to vote for health care he'll vote for it but he was a real meanter to president obama. i know it is a big loss for him. there has been a lot of obstacles in the way of passing health care reform i don't think anything at this point is going to stop it that it will happen. >> your thoughts miss duffy. where is this health care battle going now next, do you feel? >> i think that you know congress has a number of choices. they can pass a hybrid bill that doesn't have a public option they can split it maybe and pass the easy stuff and leave the harder questions for later. but i agree with jennifer, they are probably going to get some kind of bill out of congress by the end of the year. >> and rich this final question for you, senator kennedy was known for being a man who could get things done by reaching across the aisle. are we going to see any more of that with a bill like this that

they will try to invoke kennedy's name? will there be any of that reaching across the aisle? >> i doubt it. we haven't seen it to this point. if president obama and the democratic leadership that got in their way, this thing would have passed both house before august before the public had a chance to weigh in or a opportunity for real serious debate over it. >> thanks to all three of you this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you very much. now to lonnie with another check of this morning's forecast. >> a couple big weather stories out there. southern california, heard about the wild fires out there. mother nature not helping out with any rain. the other big story, what was tropical storm danny has now died down. it is just a tropical depression danny has 35-mile-per-hour winds, it will be affecting places like the east end of long island places like hyannis, massachusetts, with flood watches out. a big rainmaker. and a lot of the east coast sees rain today. if you think it is from danny, it is not. it is a whole other system a cold front, it will be pushing through, better day tomorrow than what the east coast has

today. you look at this picture and you see a little bit of a cold front ash the northwest. there will be a shower around portland portland, oregon that's part of lonnie's shoutout out to everyone at the oregon international air show, just outside of portland 65,000 people expected for three days of aerial acrobatics and amazing parachute show. thanks to all of our viewers in portland for watching "the saturday early show" on koin. you guys rock. enough of the airplane noises.

if it weren't for our next guests jaycee lee dugard could still be living in captivity. with their quick response it cracked the 18-year-old abduction case wide open. joining us are officer ali jacobson and lisa campbell.

good to have you with us. what an incredible effort on your part. lisa, i want to start with you. you spoke with phillip garrido first. what was it about him that made you think i need to get this guy back here and i need someone else to see him too? >> there were numerous indicators. he was very passionate about what he was trying to deliver, the event he wanted to host. but nothing he said was really making a lot of sense. his thoughts weren't fluid. he wasn't consistent in his thoughts. he had two little girls with him, and the girls were sort of in the background, and so where he was animated and anxious to deliver the message of what he wanted us to know the girls were really unassuming and really distant. >> and gave some cause for concern. and so you had him come back and you had officer jacobs sitting with you. you said your mother's intuition came to play here along with those that you have as a police officer. what was it about the girls that

told you something was not right? >> they just weren't acting like normal young girls would act. they were very pale. they were very -- the youngest one was very intensely staring at me. their answers to our questions seemed very clipped and rehearsed. they just seemed really lifeless. >> did you ever get the impression that part of that especially from the younger one you said staring at you, do you feel she was reaching out for help in any way? >> no i kept trying to search her eyes for any sign of some sort of signal that she -- that she needed help and i couldn't read her eyes at all. >> which had to be so frustrating. i know, lisa, before you brought him back you ran a background check. you found out he served time for kidnapping, for rape. were you concerned at all when he came back in as to how you were going to handle this? >> it wasn't so much a concern immediately, just i wanted

another set of eyes to make sure that whatever happened was consistent and we were able to mack a determination together that would be in the best interest of the kids. >> and ultimately you had to let him walk back out that door the second time with the two girls but you contacted his parole officer and the parole officer said what are you talking about, this guy doesn't have kids. >> i told him he brought in his two young girls and i was concerned because he was a sex reg strant he was around such young girls. i didn't have anything to go on at that time. and once i told the parole officer, and he told me that he didn't have any kids, that's when my heart sank. >> and thankfully the two of you didn't give up and you followed through. lisa, as you look at what happened, this past week it must seem surreal for you. the chance you gave jaycee dugard and these two young girls, as you're learning more details, is there anything else when you think back that sticks out to you about phillip garrido and the two young girls? >> more not so much phillip

garrido as the two young girls and pretty much like ali said there was one girl who wouldn't engage the older one at all, we could not make eye contact, and when she would find herself drifting away from the gaze that she had, she immediately corrected it. the younger one was a little more engaging not to confuse that with friendly, but she was a little more engaging and just looking in her eyes just drew us in. >> thankfully it did. real quickly before we let you go, a lot of people calling you heroes this morning including us here at cbs and with good reason. give us your thoughts on adding that title now. lisa i'll start with you. >> i'm just grateful we were in a place to do things we were able to do and impact the lives we have. i think that any officer, any person that was in the same position would have done the same thing. >> ali? >> i don't think that we are heroes. i don't know that i can accept

that title. we were just doing our job and like lisa said i think that any police officer in the same situation would have acted very similarly. >> we hope so. and any police officer, any mother so many people thanking you this morning, thank you for taking this time and getting up early for us this morning. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. start your three-course meals with a shared appetizer. choose two entrees from over 15 chili's favorites then share a decadent dessert. chili's -- hey smart, heard you're getting free nights from hotels.com. - how? - well, funny you should ask. say i stay 5 nights on business, then 5 nights on a family vacay, boom. free night. welcomerewards. smart. so smart. it's what doct ors recommend most for headaches. for ar thritis pain... in your hands... knees... an d back. for little bodies with fevers..

morning of arlington national cemetery. one of the senator's final wishes to be buried near his late brothers. today, senator ted kennedy will be laid to rest there. cbs news correspondent wyatt andrews has more. >> reporter: for the kennedy family arlington national cemetery has long been sacred ground. five kennedys are here already, presidt john kennedy, bobby kennedy, and jackie kennedy are interned here senator ted kennedy always kept this quiet, but he came here quite often to stand in tribute. >> senator kennedy was a regular visitor here at arlington cemetery oftentimes he would just be here, we would not know about it. >> reporter: arlington is mostly sacred ground for military veterans and war heroes. but presidents and spouses, congressional leaders and supreme court justices also qualify. how president kennedy came to admire arlington was a matter of chance. according to author robert pool the president was on a sunday drive, happened to come by the

cemetery, but then stopped to enjoy the view of washington from this hill. >> and kennedy says two things. first he says wouldn't this be a great place for the white house? and the second thing he says is so beautiful, i could stay here forever. >> reporter: eight months later, john kennedy was assassinate and buried just below where he once stood. it was always ted kennedy's wish to join his brothers here at arlington national cemetery. and officials are granting that wish with a burial spot very close to president jack kennedy and just yards away from attorney general bobby kennedy. by tonight, the three brothers all extraordinary public officials, will be at rest close by each other, in a place job once found by accident on a hill above the capital they served. wyatt andrews, cbs news, arlington. joining me now cbs news consultant douglas brinkley. his book is climbing the best-seller list.

also with us this morning, peter canellus. good to have both of you with us this morning. we have been talking about what the legacy is now as the kennedy family moves forward. peter, i'll start with you. what is the legacy? is it a little legacy if this family continues and who will carry that torch? >> well there is a lot of speculation here that perhaps the senator's nephew joe kennedy who served in congress will run for senator kennedy's seat. he would be a formidable candidate. but i think there is a sense that the kennedys may be transitioning into more of a kind of public service role and charitable organization than in a political arena. >> so much of that drive for political office seems to have been driven by joseph kennedy who was, of course the patriarch, the father of the nine children jfk, bobby, senator kennedy, he pushed the children very hard. he expected them to serve their country, wanted them to run for president. how much of that though do you

think was an inspiration to the kennedy children and how much was a burden? >> well i think that -- >> go ahead, doug. >> i think that it was a mixture of both. the inspiring part is to know that your uncle had been president of the united states that he had weathered the cuban missile crisis the berlin wall crisis had created the peace corps, had curatereated special service groups like the green beret, that has to be inspiring. but the burden became of being a kennedy, always under the spotlight, any mistake you made was blasted on top of the headlines of a new york tabloid and there was feeling you had to somehow match something unmatchable. i write history books for a living. oftentimes the children of presidents or the children of great people struggle because they're always living in the shadow of an expectation that is very difficult to fulfill.

>> and, peter is that part of the reason you're seeing them you think, move to more nontraditional public service roles, not necessarily elected office peter? >> well i think it is because ted kennedy has been the family patriarch for the last 40 years and he bore some of that burden of his father's expectation. and so with this generation dent tell them all that they had to be president. he told them they should do something for the public good. and that's what they're doing. >> do you think in any way, and doug i'll pose this question to you, the political climate is very different than it was over 40 years ago, 47 years ago when senator kennedy first joined the senate. has the american appetite for political dynasties changed as well? >> i think we still have an appetite for them but this funeral is like the closing of a book of the kennedy brothers. that was our american drama now for, you know 50 years of these procedures. there is a nostalgia going on here this weekend.

all these -- we could rattle off, you know over ten kennedies that are doing extraordinary things from rory kennedy working for hbo, making amazing documentaries, bobby kennedy jr., the cutting edge environmental activist of his generation carrie kennedy going around with speak truth to power and bringing people into the human rights movements, they're doing a lot of great public service work. but some chapter has closed of our history, a mix of the cold war and post koldcold war era and it is over now. yesterday you saw 45,000 people coming to the coffin at the kennedy library in boston. they're feeling a loss for kennedy, but also a loss for part of their own life. >> so much talk that this is the final closing of that camelot mystique. great to have your insight. thank you, both for being with us this morning. >> thanks erica. chris over to you now with a

first time i heard that song. >> no. we're way ahead of the curve here. you're looking for the best burger all over america, all you need is love. cue the beatles. tim love is chef and owner of the love shack, also our "chef on a shoestring." we challenged him to make his namesake burg we areer with salad

and dessert. let's talk about the salad before we get to the love burger. >> the burger is the main show. a lot of times you have a salad. we'll mack a little anchovy lime dressing a couple of chipotles, i'll have you do this if you don't mind. >> a little kick. >> a little kick little smoky flavor. garlic cloves squeeze a couple of limes in there. >> love limes. >> in texas, we like these limes, got to keep it zesty. then a little mustard. we'll add a little asiago cheese, we like cheese in our salads. and then some anchovies. and a lot of people get nervous about anchovies, little squeamish, but they add nice salty flavor. you don't taste the anchovy per se. i mean i encourage people to use an choef gliz use anchovies in different ways.

we're all set here. egg yolks, pop that in there, give it a whirl. after that blends for a little bit, keep going, we'll drizzle this olive oil in. like so. real quickly, add a little salt and finished product. i'm going to -- if you start the salad, i'll tell you about the burgers. >> i can't believe the size of the burgers before we get over there, first of all. >> now, at the love shack, we're pretty proud of our burger. come on down to the shack. i worked on this burger for five months before we opened up our first -- >> what is the big thing about the -- what makes -- >> two things. one is our meat. 50% prime tenderloin and 50% prime brisket. for those of you that don't know what brisket is that's this here. it is a pretty -- most people

take brisket and smoke it long periods of time a lost connective tissue in it. it takes a lot of long cooking time to make it nice and tender. what we want to do is we take this and grind it up okay and we add that in there with prime tenderloin. we have this real nice velvety meat and has a lot of texture to it so it brings flavor and texture to the burger. >> get it ball it up put it on a plate. >> make sure that you leave them in balls for 20 minutes. because that way when you put them on the grill, flatten them out, they won't fall apart on you. >> you can see the different color, the two meats in there. >> we season the meat in the grind. put them on the grill like we got here. now, this -- got one almost finished. we'll get into the love sauce. this is the other -- >> this i got to hear. >> the chicks dig the love sauce. >> don't want to go there. keep it clean. >> so add a little ketchup. like a homemade ketchup at love

shack. and a little mayonnaise. >> real tomato ketchup? >> real tomato ketchup. nothing but the best for you. fresh mayonnaise. >> that's good. >> and then we have pickles here these are red peppers, serrano chilies and onions that we pickle. add that in there. we have a nice chili rub here. this is the key. >> the spoon. >> mix that up. >> look at this. this is the love sauce. >> the love sauce. >> nice burger here. now put the love sauce on this is the key to a good burger is building a burger. that looks great. spread that on there. a little more. let me get our homemade pickles, they have a little curry in them. i'm very particular about the way we build the burger excuse me. >> i cannot believe all these condiments on one love burger.

>> you want to feel the love you got to have it all in there. >> come on over and feel the love, everybody. >> they're over there feeling it right now. >> i love that you put the condiments on the bottom bun. my grandmother told me that's always how you to do it. >> is there a mouth big enough in. >> yours. >> lonnie. >> i think it is lonnie. >> the dessert quick. >> i'm a chocolate fan. we do great shakes. so it is pretty simple. ice cream, milk but we also do a kid's cocktail and adult cocktail. kid's version doesn't have the rum. >> thank you for clarifying that. >> lonnie for you, i clarify. >> thank you, boss. >> you do that i'll handle the booze. enjoy. >> i love the salad dressing too. i'm apprehensive about the anchovies. >> yeah. >> finish up over there. let's see how you did from a cost stand point. you had $35. $34.37, not too bad. didn't make it into our top

three. let's see. a close-up. a close-up here. here we go. >> stand back. >> best part about it chris, we actually -- a burger called the dirty love burger. >> maybe that's the one for lonnie. >> bacon and sunny side up egg and just as juicy. look at that. >> we'll be right back with more. chris will try to finish chewing before we get back from the break. stay tuned to see if it can happen. the recipes are on our website. introducing the all new chevy equinox. with an epa estimated 32 miles per gallon. and up to 600 miles between fill ups. it's the most fuel efficient crossover on the highway. better than honda cr-v, toyota rav4 and even the ford escape hybrid.
