guilty. a jury convicts a cold-blooded killer of murdering a mother and her two daughters in a horrific home invasion. now, he faces the death penalty, as the lone survivor speaks out. >> there is some relief. but, my -- my family is still -- still gone. stocks surge, the dow hits a five-month high gaining over 190 points as markets around the world also show signs of life. what's behind it? we'll take you live to wall street for the latest. and to the rescue, a little girl kidnapped by a gang member is now back with her family thanks to the heroic efforts of a good samaritan. we'll speak to the man who put his life on the line to save her

early this wednesday morning, his life on the line to save her early this wednesday morning, october 6th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs top of the empire state building there, a live look this wednesday morning. good morning to everybody. welcome to "the early show" i'm mag dee rodriguez. >> i'm harry smith. good morning. >> the story we have out of california is nothing short of remarkable. a little girl is playing in her front yard, she is snatched into a truck, 11 hours later a man is watching tv at home and spots a description of the truck on tv. thinks he sees the truck, chases it down, turns out he's right and he doesn't quit until that little girl is rescued. we'll talk to him ahead. you know who joe miller is, the tea party candidate in alaska upset lisa murkowski, snort there and was assumed was going to just roll back into the senate all over again. well, part of joe miller's

success dependent on the fact sarah palin endorsed him, right? a couple of times, miller has been on television in the last month or show on fox and people have said, well, what do you think of sarah palin, you know, running for president? and miller has been kind of -- >> he did not return the endorsement, so to speak. >> exactly right. apparently, todd palin is not exactly pleased with those responses. there is some -- an apparent internet trail causing an internet sensation. we'll delve into that in minutes. >> and show you e-mails. first this wednesday called one of the most horrific crimes in recent memory. the first of two trials is now over and the verdict is in. cbs news national correspondent jeff glor is in new haven, connecticut with the details. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: hey, maggie, good morning. an emotional scene outside court yesterday after the verdict was read. jurors will now return here october 18th for part two of this trial, whether steven hayes should be executed.

>> there is some relief. but, my -- my -- my family is still -- still gone. >> reporter: as dr. william petit closed the door on one phase of this case, the lone survivor of a horrific home invasion prepared himself for what comes next. in 12 days jurors will begin deciding whether steven hayes is to receive the death penalty and he will sit through more grueling testimony. he was asked how he could push on when both defendants agreed to plead guilty in exchange for life in prison sparing any trials. >> i think you would all dot same things for your families if your family was destroyed by e vail. >> mainly the defense must on evidence of why he should live and there's no limit on what they can put on. >> the question from the jury will be does what the defense put on outweigh the heinousness of the facts. >> reporter: jurors took only four and a half hours

deliberating to find him guilty on 16 counts. petit asked if hayes still matters to him. >> what matters to me most is my family and memories of my -- my family and, i don't know, over the last couple of weeks, i just kept trying to tell myself that good will overcome evil. >> reporter: the evil hayes, then 44 and joshua komisarjevsky then 26 broke into the home in july 27, beating william petit with a baseball bat, forcing jennifer hawke-petit to withdraw $15,000 from a bank before strangling and raping her at home. 11-year-old mikal was also raped. all three murder victims including 17-year-old hayley were doused were gasoline before the house was set on fire. >> to pour gasoline on them, to light the house on fire and strangle and rape the mother who begged for her life is evil inkarn nate is all you can say. >> reporter: the penalty phase

in two weeks is expected to last about a week. as for the trial for his co-defendant, joshua komisarjevsky, that won't begin until next year. again, maggie, that be in two parts. >> jeff glor in new haven this morning, thank you. joining us is legal analyst jack ford. good morning. >> good morning. >> you are an attorney and defended five death penalty cases, very familiar with what happens next. what will happen in the death -- penalty, excuse me, phase. >> a little different. what you get in these cases are two separate trials under the umbrella of one. we know now the first trial focuses on whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. the jury has said guilty to a number of counts including ones that make him eligible for the death penalty. what they will do now, an entirely separate second trial. there will be opening statements by the prosecution and the defense. the prosecution will present evidence here. the defense can, if they want to -- you've got to assume there will somebody evidence here from the defense -- then closing arguments again by both sides, the judge gives instructions to

the jury and ultimately the jury dlibts and comes back with a verdict, a second separate trial within the whole case. >> a separate trial but same judge and jury, correct. >> same judge and jury. >> -- they won't rehash all the horrific evidence and testimony again? >> that's always a tough question as the prosecutor. what are you going to present here? i've seen cases where the prosecution has simply stood up and said to the jury, you've heard everything already. there's nothing more he can tell you about, rely on that information. sometimes they will say rely on what you've heard so far but we also want to provide you with victim impact statements. let the father talk about them to what this has done to him and the family members. not every murder conviction results in a death penalty. there has to be what they call murder plus. here among other things they are talking about heinous and cruel and vicious manner in which the murders took place. the prosecution may bring more witnesses in. i've got to believe you're going to hear something from the family members, the jury mem errs. >> i'm sure. they could have settled this long ago and agreed to the

settlement where the defendant went to prich to life but wanted to go for the death penalty. >> exactly. >> i'm sure they will speak up. what about the defense, do you think they will put him on the stand? >> that's a tough question. in the cases i tried, i did put the defendant on the stand to essentially say what happened, why i'm so terribly sorry and basically asking to save their lives. you will probably get some testimony about who he is, his background, if he had a troubled past. i would suspect, he didn't of it beforehand, i would suspect -- a lot of times lawyers will keep the defendant off the stand even here if their defense has been i didn't do this, you have the wrong person here. they didn't really have that defense. he admitted to what he did here. i would suspect you may well hear him on the standing saying something to these jurors. >> of course we'll follow it. thank you, jack. back to you, harry. all right. now to a controversial e-mail reportedly from sarah palin's husband, todd, burning up the internet, leaked by a left-leaning website called the mudflaps and causing quite a stir in political circles. todd reportedly sent it to

republican senate nominee joe miller, who sarah palin endorsed and it says, quote, sarah put her blank on the line for joe and yet he can't answer a simple question, is sarah palin qualified to be president? i don't know if she is, joe, please explain how this endorsement stuff works. is it completely one sided? analyst and republican strategist dan bartlett. good morning. >> how are you doing, harry? >> we set this up minutes ago because she famously endorsed miller, tea party candidate. it was a narrow race and he beats lisa murkowski. he's gone on fox a couple of times and hasn't really been

of americanss are having they can't answer that question why potentially she's qualified to be president of the united states. in my observations watching during the previous presidential campaign is that sarah palin and her camp are extremely thin skinned and if she does plan to run for president, she's going to have to get used to people like this doing things they don't appreciate. but particularly strikes a chord when it's in your home state of alaska. so, i imagine they will somehow try to figure a way to get him back out, as soon as possible, and bring a clarifying statement of his support for her. >> a thicker hide in order, perhaps. >> absolutely. >> some people suggest this means sarah palin wants to run i think i see it like you do, this is really just about loyalty. >> i think a bit of both.

they want to preserve the option to run for president and want everybody to treat her as if she is qualified to run for president so she can have maximum leverage. whether she uses that ultimately run herself, i'm with you. she wants to be relevant and power broker and republican party politics not only this cycle but more importantly for the presidential cycle. so, they are doing everything you would want a candidate to do and part is behind the scenes lining up as much support as possible. i'm with you right now. i don't think this is a clear signal of her intent to run for office. >> very quickly, four years ago, in an off-year election the amount of outside money spent was around $16 million. it's up to $69 million now thanks to a recent supreme court decisions, money raised by groups and nobody has to disclose where it comes from, a lot is pouring, in especially on the republican side. some people suggest that this decision has allowed all this money to come in and literally takes these elections out of the

labor and others who traditio l

of outside money, it's going to be the difference maker in many states across the nation. >> dan bartlett, as always, appreciate your insight. thank you. 7:11, we move to the surge on wall street. the dow sky-rocketed yesterday closing just short of 11,000 making it the best day wall street has seen since may. cbs news business and economics correspondents rebecca jarvis is at the new york stock exchange this morning. we'll take this surge any day of the week. what is the five-month high being attributed to? >> well, maggie, yesterday put us back, like you said, in the before-may levels where the dow is and what people are looking at is the main driver of that are two things. first off, better data from the services sector, looking like we're going to see potentially more jobs created there and, also, this expectation that while the government doesn't necessarily have the political will or the motivation to put a new stimulus into effect here in the united states, the federal reserve is prepared to step in and do that and many are anticipating that the federal

reserve will take its own tools and do stimulus action. >> the fed has indicated it will step in and prop up the economy but a lot of speculation what exactly ben bernanke will do. what are the options? >> the likelihood of what ben bernanke does is really focused on one particular thing that, is to start printing more money, put more money into circulation. what does that do? well, it decreases the value of the money in your pocket. but, it also can increase the value of things around you, like your home. >> rebecca jarvis at the new york stock exchange, thank you. we'll look for the unemployment numbers friday, which i'm sure will cause wall street to react again. all right. erica hill is at the news desk with more headlines this morning. good morning. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with breaking news out of afghanistan this morning, word of high-level talks between the afghan government and taliban, talks aimed at ending the war. afghan president has mad karzai is thought to be taking part in the previously secret taukts with taliban representatives. the "washington post" reports

this is the first time taliban leaders have authorized such talks. meantime, in southwest pakistan this morning, 20 tankers carrying fuel to u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan were attacked and set on fire. one driver was killed. and if this sounds familiar, it should, it is the sixth such attack by suspected taliban gunmen since pakistan scloes ad key border crossing to afghanistan seven days ago. the man who tried to set off a tibomb in times square will spend his life behind bars. in new york he was defiant as he heard his sentence and when given a chance to speak had a warning for americans saying, quote, brace yourselves, because the war with muslims has just beg begun. emergency workers in western hungary are struggling to contain an environmental disaster this morning. a flood of toxic red sludge burst from a holding tank at a metal refinery southwest of budapest monday.

several towns were overrun, killing at least four people. the toxic flood now threatens the vital danube river. we want to get you the latest this morning on the alleged pirate attack on the texas-mexico border and the presumed death of jet skier david hartley. we are now learning there are witnesses to back up hartley's wife's story the couple was attacked on the lake by pirates. cbs news correspondent don teague has more. >> reporter: david hartley's family and friends gathered together at the family church in texas you it day to remember the man they said had no fear and never met a stranger. hartley's family decided to go ahead with the service even though they have no body to bury. mexican authorities will now search falcon lake along the texas-mexico border today, looking for hartley's remains, using boats and military helicopters. it was five days ago that hartley was allegedly shot by pirates while jet skiing on the mexican side of the lake.

>> okay. are you sure that your husband got shot? >> yes, in his head. >> his wife, tiffany, with her husband but couldn't save him, expressed frustration in an "early show" interview tuesday that the mexican government wasn't doing enough to help. >> as far as we know, we don't think they have been looking. >> reporter: monday, a mexican official seemed to question tiffany hartley's story saying, we are not sure. we are not certain that the incident happened the way they are telling us. but, the zapata county sheriff says he has a witness who saw tiffany hartley chased by men in a small boat. family members have countered by criticizing what they see as a lackluster search effort by mexican authorities father dennis hartley told the associated press i don't think at this time mexico is really doing anything. that should change, according to gonzalez, who met with mexican authorities last night and tells cbs news they promised to search

all day or until they find david hartley. don teague, cbs news, dallas. we want to get you a check of the weather. dave price is standing by witit

changing. they are particularly impacted by peer pressure and social pressure. >> reporter: you are really covered up. >> yeah. >> reporter: two girls o on this team were so embarrassed, they wore football jerseys to cover up during their first game but bridgeport public school officials say they don't condone inappropriate attire. >> as we mav forward, new skirts have been ordered, full body suits have been ordered. and so, the uniform is a total compliment as of this next game should be fine. >> reporter: for some girls, the uniform controversy is a personal foul. >> i feel like if i go out, i feel trashy. >> "early show" contributor dr. jennifer hartstein -- joins us this morning to talk more. how much do we love this sister? >> such a story of empowerment for these girls. >> most girls unfortunately these days want though show more skin. how much do we have to applaud the parns who raise these girls and these girls who stood up for what's right. >> so true, maggie.

the fact is they really went in to a group of adults, teenagers and were eloquent and really spoke their minds on the fact this was not something they were willing to accept, how can we change it? i think that's terrific and sends a great message for girls out there. >> such an important message in this day and age when we know that body image is affected by so many negative role models. >> yes. if you look what the girls are looking at and the media puts out to them, thin is the way to be, you are supposed to show your skin and be in skimpy outfits. it's discounting how good girls can feel in their own skin if they are wearing appropriate clothes. these girls may feel more comfortable and even cheer better, be better on the field they can feel comfortable in their uniforms. >> absolutely a. new study you and i were talking about shows that cheerleaders who show their midriff are more prone to eating disorders. >> right. what the study looked out about 130, 140 college students and whether or not their uniforms impacted how they felt about things and about their body image and themselves and put

some of them at greater risk. we forget cheer leading is a sport like any other in college and have it keep that in mind. >> what is surprising the girls came forward and said i felt degraded, humiliated and embarrassed and there was pushback by administrators saying the uniforms are fine, based on measurements you gave us. isn't that surprising? >> so surprising and made me so angry because these girls are standing up for what they are comfortable with. why, as adults are we putting them down and blowing them off when we should empower them and. they did stay up and say let's get new skirts and leotards for underneath. i think that's important some part got through so the girls get what they need. >> it shouldn't have taken so long. >> exactly. >> what do you think is the lesson here from school administrators to other young girls watching to parents. >> it is so important for people to feel comfortable. body image and self-esteem are

so linked together we want to each girls to feel comfortable in their own skin whatever way possible. >> what do you rnk ways? i have a daughter and i think about that all the time. >> you want to really work with her -- these girls got involved in cheerleading because they like to be part of a team, a team sport. that's one great way. so, how can you do it to keep them feeling good? get them involved in clothes and things and activities that make them feel good and feel positive and make themselves be more empowered in the future. >> i have another idea, tell them this story. >> exactly, great idea. >> thank you, dr. jennifer hartstein. >> thank you. >> we'll see later for the breast cancer panel. >> yes. >> up next, some of us remember when it was a big deal to make a long-distance call. those days are gone along with other practices and products. we'll have a list of what's suddenly obsolete. this will be a lot of fun, when we come back. ♪ i loved you, sweetness

all right, good morning, taking a look at the forecast. it's a beautiful sunrise and a

good hour and hour and a half. before that, rain and showers. we'll look at the radar. we have a high of 62 degrees. in fact, low pressure out to the northwest is going to try and grab the area of low. it's going to grab clouds and showers out to the west. back to th [ cheering ] >> a shout out to [ inaudible ] today, a bunch of people turning out in central park for the pink pony walk. we'll send it back inside to you guys. >> as you saw breast cancer awareness month, the second leading cause of cancer death in women. that is the topic of today's healthwatch. an estimated 40,000 women will die this year from the disease. joining us this morning to answer some of your questions our cbs news medical

correspondents dr. jennifer ashton and "early show" contributor dr. jennifer hartste hartstein, psychologist, is pretty in pink to support the cause. good morning, ladies. >> good morning. >> right to the questions, the first from facebook, david wants to know, i heard guys can get breast cancer, too. is that true? if so, what is the difference between men's breast cancer and women's breast cancer. dr. ashton? >> the first thing, maggie, most men have no idea that they are at risk for breast cancer. while it's much less common in men than women, it accounts for less than one percent of all breast cancer cases, it can be just as aggressive. the good thing, if you will here, when you are talking about male breast cancer, because men have less breast tissue, it's usually easier for them to feel or, in some cases, even see the lump. the bad thing is that they tend to be embarrassed and might not bring that to the attention of a doctor. but important for men to know their risk factors, family history like for women, obesity, alcohol use because that stimulates the production of

estrogen. men have it too and that can trigger breast cancer. so again, awareness and if you see something see your doctor. >> if you feel something, don't be embarrassed. how can men get over that stigma? >> it is really hard. i think the embarrassment factor and fear factor keeps a lot of people from getting help. it is important to recognize, validate you're embarrassed, really this is my problem and push through it and get yourself to the doctor. getting yourself to the doctor and finding out what it is a much better option than waiting and having no choice. >> absolutely. >> it is really important to push through and make that happen. >> okay. we have another question, let's hear from dara barnett in san francisco. >> i have a pretty strong family history of breast cancer. my mother hasn't had it but all of my aunts and grandmothers had it. what age is the right age for somebody like me to start getting mammograms? >> we've talked to much about this and there are so many different opinions. you are a practicing physician. what's your recommendation. >> a couple of things. when you have a quote/unquote

family history in medicine we really talk about that is it a first degree relative, which means mother, sister, or daughter. now, if you have other people in your family, aunts, cousins, grandmothers is still relevant, still your family history but not the same increased risk with a first degree relative. >> okay. >> the other thing to remember if you have a lot of breast cancer in your family, genetic testing is always an option and lastly the question about when to start screening there, is no firm guideline for that. what most practicing physicians will say five to ten years before the youngest person in your family was diagnosed. if that person was diagnosed at age 40, we'll start at age 30e with things like mammograms, possibly mris and definitely younger women ultrasound. >> so for dara, what age her aunt or granmother was diagnosed. >> ten years from that. >> let's hair from larry in los angeles. >> as a parent, i would be

concerned at what age is a girl capable of getting breast cancer? >> actually, start with you, jen. >> luckily, a lot of parents worry about this. it's very, very rare but last year we heard of a girl as young as age o 10 diagnosed with breast cancer. >> 10? >> ten years of age. and we know now girls as young as 7 years of age can start breast development. so, as they go through puberty, jen and i talk about it all the time when their bodies change is the time you really want to speak to your daughter, girls know about breast cancer because the chances of them knowing someone whose mother is dealing with it, it may be in their consciousness in the background of their mind and can generate anxiety. start teaching them about their body and give them facts so they are not afraid. >> you agree when women start puberty? what's the best approach. >> you have to teach them, even younger having those talks what their body, is how it develops, all those things. you want to talk about what's normal breast development, what do breasts look like, how do they change over time?

in puberty, they change a lot. jen and i talked before about the importance of families talking about any sort of history and how that's going to impact their bodies and talk about the fear that might be in there because it does elicit fear all the way around and it's important to keep that communication as open as possible. >> we have another question from california, michelle kirk. >> my question today is for families trying to help one of the members with a cancer diagnosis, when is a good time for them to seek professional help. >> great question, dr. hartstein, what do you suggest? >> i think you have to really know the person who issings inned. so, some people are going to have been stoic and not going to want to go get any sort of therapeutic help or mental health care help but you as the caregiver might need to do that. you have to be aware of everyone's needs and so important to keep that option open, have resources, have support, talk to doctors who have a lot of great support options for you and your family. if you as the care-giver need it or kids need it or family

members need it, provide it for them and keep the option open as an open lie doing hey maybe talking about someone about this mortality issue or this question might be helpful. >> also, maggie, a good opportunity to remember when you get that diagnosis, a second medical opinion is always a great idea. >> lastly, a question from twitter. al li son joe rights are there certain lifestyle habits that would help prevent breast cancer? we've talked about this before. bears repeating. >> absolutely. you can't change your family history but can change environmental or behavioral lifestyle habits. diet, low in animal fat high in fruits and vegetables, exercise, even you if don't continue it exercise in the past has a big protective effect on reducing your risk. then limiting alcohol use especially in the younger age group, teenagers shouldn't be drinking at all but young 20s, that can have a protective effect, less alcohol, the better. lastly, breast feeding has a huge and significant effect on

reducing the risk of breast cancer. these are all things we can do. >> and should do. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> if you want more information on breast cancer awareness, all you have to do is go to our website earlyshow.cbsnews.com and keep the questions coming, please. erica? >> maggie, thanks. beauty products as you probably know can cost a small fortune. we've got a secret for you. turns out you can make many of them yourself with items from your own pantry saving yourself a lot of money. "early show" contributor katie lee is here to show us how. i love because they he are from your pantry they will be nice natural products, as well. >> that's exactly right, no chemicals. like you said, it is a small fortune, we spend 45 billion a year in the u.s. alone on cosmetics. a lot of those companies can spend quite a bit of money to find the latest and greatest ingredient but many of those formulas started with ingredients you would find right in your kitchen. >> and really stack up still. >> they really do. they have a lot of the same great effects.

the first i have for you is an undereye cooling cream. this is great for those of us who have to get up early, like this morning. >> like it. >> it uses cucumber to reduce puffiness and corn starch and witch hazle for tightening and aloe vera gel. >> a step up from the movies. >> exactly. it really does work. >> you just blend it together. >> exactly in a food processor or blender. put it on, pat it on for like ten minutes, let it sit there and you're going to get this nice reduce in the puff and dark circles. it really works. it's great and it's a fraction of the cost. we spend up to $200 just on eye cream. >> wow. >> what does this cost, not even two dollars, probably. >> not even two dollars. >> less than that. >> less. >> number one is a hit with me. i've always been intrigued, you go into the drugstore and see all kinds of scrubs and things for your body with oatmeal in them. >> exactly sxwloo you are using a bit of it. what makes it so beneficial? >> it is soothing and reduces
