♪ "early" this thursday morning, ♪ "early" this thursday morning, september 17th, 2009. captioning funded by cbs good morning. i'm julie chen in los angeles along with harry smith and maggie rodriguez in new york. good morning, guys. >> good morning. good to see you again. >> great to see you. >> i'm all here, what can i say. let's get to the breaking news we have this morning. it's coming out of new haven, connecticut, about tmurder of a. the police are shooer rowing in on raymond clark. randall pinkston is in new haven with the story.
7:02 am
>> reporter: we're expecting an nunsment there officials shortly. our cbs affiliate in hartford has confirmed that there will be an arrest. their source will not say who, but all eyes are on raymond clark iii identified until now as the person of interest. he has been spending the night this past evening in cromwell where he has been unsurveillance after submitting dna samples early yesterday morning. there are reports that clark was the last person to siaee an ann le alive. late wednesday evening, police got a d ncht a match. the discovery came less than a day after police served clark with a search warrant requiring him to provide hair, tissue and a lie have a samples. police say the state crime lab worked around the clock to analyze clark's tna, comparing it with evidence collected it at the laboratory where le was
7:03 am
found murdered about. items were also taken from dlark's home and car, giving police more than 250 pieces of evidence, including e-mails, and security key card swipes that tracked clark's movements in the basement where le's body was found and where clark took care of lab animals. the hartford current reports swipe card records show le and clark were in the same room shortly after 10:00 a.m. on september #th. le was not seen alive after that. and her card was not used again. >> he kept to himself, but very responsive. >> reporter: cbs news obtained an interview with a medical student who like annie le did research in the area where clark worked even after the alleged murder. she asked that we conceive her identity. >> he did such a good job of hiding any sign of nervousness or neglect out of the ordinary. when i was in the room with him alone on friday night. >> reporter: the medical
7:04 am
examiner says the 4'11"90 pound doctoral student was strangled, scratches on clark's arms indicate there may have been a struggle. >> the rooms in the basement were soundproof, so even if annie had been screaming, nobody would have been able to hear her. >> reporter: although our source thought cloork was quiet and very helpful, in 2003, an ex-girlfriend filed a police report claiming he forced her to have sex. other researchers at the yale lab say they saw a mom combative clark at times. >> there was a rumor that he had a bad temper and had exploded and yelled at them. >> reporter: the secluded soundproof basement just might have been the perfect place to commit a crime. >> nobody is ever looking for you, nobody questions when you go into a room for several hours and don't come out.
7:05 am
one would have a lot of time to do something like that without help. >> reporter: raymond clark's sister and brother-in-law also worked in the laboratory. our anonymous medical student says that university feshls informed all of the students who use that lab that clark's relatives are no longer able to enter the building. harry? >> randall pinkston in new haven, thank you. joining us now, jack ford, apcore of "courtside" on true tv. yale graduate. kids both went to school there. still teach up there at times. first things first. what are the key elements for prosecutors right now? >> they want to make sure and they want to make sure before they make an arrest here, because an arrest starts the clock running essentially. there are certain times where you have to get before a grand jury. when a trial has to be scheduled. so they want it make sure they have everything in place and
7:06 am
right now they have a lot of the circumstantial evidence, but they're looking for a dna that can say, you know what, everything either sounds as if he's involved, but dna says this is our guy, if he is the guy. that's what they want before they move on this. >> and it's important because for instance in the o.j. case, what happened? >> one of the big problems and the prosecutors have all agreed on this, they went too soon. they weren't ready to try the case. in the o.j. trial, they were getting test results back while they were actually in trial. so one of the messages from o.j. is don't go until you've got your case completely wrapped up and ready to present. >> other people said this seemed to be so much circumstantial evidence around this particular person of interest. why not just go ahead and arrest the guy. sometimes don't these folks, people of interest, sort of incriminate themselves some. >> sure. and i was always surprised how often people finally say, yeah, i want to talk to you, let me tell you what i did here. and one of the tools for prosecutor is put pressure on
7:07 am
somebody. watch them for 24 hours. they know they're being watched. leak a little bit here and whether about what the case is that you're developing against them and one of your hopes is at some point in time they'll say i want to sit down, i want to tell you what i did. >> as somebody intimately familiar with those surrounding, what was your reaction? >> my first reaction as everybody's was what's happening, is this sort of somebody randomly talking students. it's a very safe and secure place. i felt that for years and years. it's an awful tragedy, but what you're hoping is some explanation here will make it less frightening for people up there. >> jack ford, thanks so much. good to see you. maggie in. now to politics and health care proposal by a democratic senator that most concede is taking at least some baby steps toward. but it's still getting a luke warm response from both sides of the aisle. here's bill plante. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. with the senate bill by max baucus now out, all the cards are on the table. and a lot of lens laft of legish
7:08 am
parties are still unhappy. baucus worked for months on the plan, but when he announced his $865 billion package, he was standing alone. the senate finance committee would cover about 95% of americans, but still leave 25 million uninsured. the senate bill has many provisions the president has pushed for. there is no public option, but there are nonprofit co-ops to compete with private ensurer. insurance companies would be barred from turning down customers based on health status or pre-existing conditions. everyone is required to get health coverage or face a fine up to $3800 for a family of four. those who can't afford insurance, eligibility for medicaid would be expanded. already members of both parties have said they won't support the bell. >> the bill is not going to become law and, frankly, it shouldn't. >> it's an on going effort.
7:09 am
>> reporter: this bill now has to go to the full senate finance committee which will almost certainly change it. they will be looking for a philly bust it ter proof 60 votes an at least one of those votes has to be a republican. maggie? >> bill plante, thank you. gop chairman michael steele joins us from washington. good morning. >> how are you? >> will they get that one vote, that one republican vote? >> i don't know. it depends on the bill. i think olympia snowe, who has been working with max baucus on this bill has been very clear in terms of what republicans are looking for to create a bipartisan bill. and i think it was very telling yesterday that the senator was standing there, max baucus was by himself, when all this work had been done up to this point. so this tells me and i think it tells a lot of americans that we still have a long way to go. and i agree with the analysis of the baby steps. this is the first of a very, very many baby steps that will have to be taken. and they should be. they need to slow this process
7:10 am
down. >> but here's the thing. i remember last week when you were on with us, your number one bone of contention was that public option, it's socialism, it has to go, get it out of the bill. it's gone. and this is the only bill that actually according to the congressional budget office which is thon partisan, as you know, will actually bring down the deficit. so you don't seem happy that at least they're compromising. >> i don't know about what it does to the deficit. i don't know if all the analysis will mean to the american people. but let's go back and be very clear here. the public option represented government control. co-ops in this bill again represent government control. who is running these co-ops? if the federal government is financing cop co-ops, there's a
7:11 am
lot more that we need to do and there needs to be appropriate language in the bill, the final bill, that makes sure that we are not opening a back door to a public option whether you you call it that or not down the road. >> i have 20 seconds and i definitely wanted to leave time to ask you about these allegations on behalf of former president carter and others that all of this criticism towards president obama is motivated by racism. i know that president obama has disagreed with that himself, but when we have protests in washington like we saw last week, when we see confederate flags and pictures of the president in white face and signs that say he needs to go back to africa, you can poord to ignore that? >> no, you don't i go more it, but you don't paint such a broad brush with it. i mean, i don't remember this brush being painted this way when president reagan -- president bush was being protested over the last six or
7:12 am
seven years. >> they didn't have the signs of him -- >> racism takes many forms. it's not just black on white or white or black. so the really itity of it is racism is an insidious part of our culture that many, plane generations have been fighting to excise. and so i just think now that the elevation of race into this public policy debate irrespective of what folks may have on a sign here or there is not -- has not been the tenor of this discussion, of this debate, and i thought president carter was out of line and i said so. >> all right, michael steele, we appreciate you taking the time. >> thank you. now here's harry. enkurnging news from wall street where the dow jones industrial average is back to its highest point in nearly a year. yesterday it closed at 9791, its highest point since last october. doreen mogavero is at the new
7:13 am
york stock whiexchange. good to see you good under these circumstances. >> it's good circumstances. >> we saw in the "wall street journal" all these day traders are starting to get back in, a lot of people piling back into the stock market. is now the time? or is this too good to be true? >> well, i think everybody's got to determine for themselves if now is the time, but certainly the market is much better than it has been and is looking much better. i'm hearing many more people talking very optimistically about the future, not only of the economy, but of the near term stock market. >> are the fundamentals there, are the building blocks there for a sustained increase in the value of the dow jones industrial average? >> i think to this point i would say probably yes. things have been improving consistently since march. we have more numbers coming out today as you know, housing and jobs, so i think those are two things we watch always very closely. but i think so, yes. the question now seems to be is
7:14 am
can we sustain it from here through 10,000 and above. >> and what is your gut tell you about that? >> well, the last time we crossed 10,000, it was a new high. we're down still from 14,000, so that may be our new marker. but i think we're doing fairly well and it seems that we can get to 10,000 quite easily from here. >> doreen, nice to see with you a smile back on your face. >> thanks. last fall it was not so pleasant. all right. dave is here with a look at the weather. when something goes up, something's got come down. and we know that from the skies, right? what's coming down, rain. look at this. the deep south continuing to get dell hugug deluged. from little rock to shreveport into atlanta, we're talking about another one to two inches of rain, some areas yesterday getting upwards of five inches. it continues not only for the rest of the week, but in some locations through the weekend, so we'll watch for flooding. the northeast, you have a strong

7:32 am
newspapers that have rourted a dna match. while police won't say exactly, everyone expect it is to happen. one of the interesting aspects of this entire case was that even after annie le disappeared urks the laboratory where she was last seen remained open about people were working even while her body was secreted behind the basement wall. we spoke to a medical student who, like annie le, worked alongside clark. so tell me about friday night. three days after annie disappeared. two days before her body was found. where were you? >> i was in the basement of the amistad building. >> reporter: where was raymond is this. >> he was in the basement of the amistad building. >> reporter: how long were you in the room with him? >> probably three minutes. >> reporter: how far apart were the two of you? >> about five feet. >> reporter: raymond clark

7:35 am
personable. i actually liked him quite a bit. >> what was your reaction then when you heard that he was a quote/unquote person of interest in this case? >> it was shocking certainly. really shocking, you know. i would have been shocked to hear that anybody that i knew was a person of interest in the case. and it seemed with ray that he was a person of interest because he was potentially a suspect from the very beginning, the articles online and the television coverage suggested that there were some had things about what he was doing that day that weren't quite right. >> conor reardon, we thank you so much for your time. do appreciate it. >> thank you, harry. you have a good day. maggie? let's go over to dave and check in again. good morning to you. what do you say we take a check of the weather and we'll begin with really a story we've been talking about for the last several days. and there's no change in sight over the nest two or three days in some of he's locations.

8:10 am
makes your head hurt. "early show" financial contributor ray martin is here to walk us through some of the important decisions many of us need to make. i tell you, we get that booklet sometimes and it's overwhelming, but it's very, very important to take a look at what's inside with all the talk about health insurance, reform and everything else, are we likely to see cut backs from employers? >> no, you're not. most employers plan to keep their benefits packages they're offer to go employee intact and most employees plan to keep spending what they spend on their benefits even as they cut their spending in other places. >> as we're projecting forward, what are the big most important decisions to make this whole motion of coverage versus need? what do you meern by that? >> you need to look at the coverage you have right now versus your needs next year. because you're making advanced elections for the benefits that you'll need for next year. but you also have on to think about pre-existing conditions to make sure that the benefit
8:11 am
shreks you make are covering those pre-existing conditions. the medical services you may need, the health of your fe family members. if you're bringing any new members on line, for example. and the premiums and co-payment, the lower cost, but you have to pay for those. let me give you a practical example. if you have health coverage now but you're expecting a new child next year, you want to review that health coverage to make sure it pays for the services like you might want an epidural, but make sure the coverage you choose cover it is well and also the pre-existing conditions. >> so it really is incumbent on everybody to really do their own due diligence so you don't want to end up in a situation where i thought i was covered on that and you're not. >> could i have made an election, now is the time. open enrollment season. >> a couple big options. i find so interesting these things where you can invest -- pre-invest in something. what will they? >> these are pretax intending accounts, flexible spending account and health savings account. both allow to you have money
8:12 am
taken out of your pay, completely pretax, and spend tax free for qualified out of pocket medical costs like deductible, co-insurance, co-pay, out of pocket coasts for prescription drugs and over the counter drug, procedures, eye procedures, dental, whatever. >> and there are pluses or minuses on these. >> the big differences between the two, a flexible spending account, the money you put into that account, you have to spend the money by the end of the year on out of pocket costs or you lose it. they're only offered by your employer and you can use them with any health insurance option that you have with your employer. the limits are like $5,000 or $6,000 per year for health and dependent care flexible spending accountses. use it or loose it. >> and the other one is -- >> a health savings account. it's newer option, not all employers offer it, but you buy a high deductible health insurance plan with a higher deductible, you can contribute $3,000 to $6,000 single and
8:13 am
family coverage in these accounts. if you don't use the money, you roll it over and keep it next year and keep building it. these are available to anyone. so if you buy a high deductible health insurance plan, then you can open up a health savings account, put this money in, roll it over every year, and keep building a fund of money for medical expenses many down the road in retirement you can use completely tax free. not all employers offer this. ask them. and if they don't, ask them if they should. it's generally for younger folks with not a lot of health care needs and they can help save for medical lost costs in retirement. >> thanks so much. good stuff. for more, go to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. up next, you won't believe what this mom did to raise school tuition for her son. stay tuned. she'll tell us all about it. of vegetables. fivs consider this... the express route.

8:42 am
dichotomy here. >> and one psychiatrist i spoke to said that could lead to a fractured identity, that this completely split personality could create in the end violence. and it seems like it did. >> did his fiance have any clue? does she seem to be -- have any picture of this whatsoever? >> no. according to the detectives that i spoke with that interviewed her, she had no idea what was going on. and if anything, she was often not this boston, she was at her home in jersey planning her wedding and taking care of a back condition that she has, so she wasn't around very on which to see what phillip might have been up to. >> when the story was first breaking, there was so much attention paid to the website. was there a clock? >> the website -- absolutely. they had a wedding website and there was a countdown clock for day, weeks, right to seconds to the day he was going to get married. they were going to get married. and there seemed to be a lot of pressure on phillip. the wedding was impending, he loved to gamble, he had the
8:43 am
secret life, he was in medical school, let not forget that. there's a lot of stuff going on. >> so is there a sense that this count ko countdown clock may have been part of the full krom that shoves him to the place that he ends up being exposed is? >> i think that's one of the pressures. he clearly had an interest in by sexuality, bondage, s and m. on the other hand, he's getting married to this beautiful young woman from new jersey. that's a big split in your personality. >> this trial won't happen until when is this. >> until june of next year. >> we need to remember to put this into context of alleged. >> that's right. he has pleaded not guilty. >> thank you very much. to read an excerpt, go to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. and the "48 hours" special on the kricraigslist killer airs t

saturday. now here's julie. talk about good timing. for me at least. psychologist dr. david swanson has just written a book called "help--my kid is driving me crazy." and he's here with advice based on what he has seen while counseling families over the past 15 years. good morning. >> thanks for having me. >> now you tell me kids will drive you crazy. >> yeah, you're close. >> the sub title is the 17 ways kids manipulate their parents and what you can do it, but this morning we'll talk about the top three ways. the first they think you talk about is kids like to steam roll their parents. what does that mean? >> steam rolling is what we know as badgering. our children will ask over and over and over for what it is that they want. can i, i can, i can. and this is a tough one because this turning our hair gray. >> and then most parents just want quiet time, so they give in? >> that's the thing. a lot of these manipulation strategies say more about the parent than they do about the child, so the parent who is
8:45 am
overworked, who has too much on her plate might just give in, so do you more kids do more steam rolling with them as opposed to a part who just doesn't like to see their kids sad. those kids use more emotional blackmail. >> so what's the solution if you're getting steam rolled? do you keep saying no, no, no? >> the first step is you have to label it. you want to let your child know that you're steam rolling me. it's not okay. and then you want to make it so that this behavior works against them. so what i tell people some my practice and in the book is to let your child know that when you continue, i'm going to look at my watch. and for every minute that you continue, it's going to be three minutes of early bed or three minutes away from a privilege. so now the steam rolling stops working against you as a parent and starts working against your child. >> consequences. all right. the next thing is play the victim. >> again, this is a child who says i never get to or everybody else does and i don't. and really expresses this
8:46 am
sadness. and for those parents who feel guilt, that's it. >> so what do you do in. >> this is one where you have to be able to set your priorities. parents have three desires. one is to keep their kids safe, the second is to look out for their better interests in the future, and last should always be their happiness. kids will always find happiness. so as long as you go by those three and prioritize in that order, you'll have to be able to tolerate their discontent. it could be fabricated or real, but you have to be able to tolerate that. >> then you mention this had earlier, a lot of kids like to blackmail their parents emotionally. >> again, this has to do with a parent who has a very difficult time tolerating their child's sadness or discontent or anger. and so what you need to be able to do is realize that that is your vulnerability. as long as you put your child's safety and better interests first, you have to be able to tolerate those feelings. seek out help from your husband or wife or a friend, but don't give in because what ends up happening is they will do this over and over and over again.
8:47 am
>> stop the cycle. >> that's it. >> thank you so much. to read an excerpt, question to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. up next, bringing a knew baby home is always a time of joy unless you happen to be the family pet. debbye turner bell will have family pet. debbye turner bell will have advice on getting fido i'm creigh deeds, candidate for governor and my campaign sponsored this ad. the washington post calls bob mcdonnell a "culture warrior." and what does that mean for virginia? it means: bob mcdonnell introduced 35 bills to restrict a woman's right to choose. he wants to outlaw abortion-- even in cases of rape and incest. and mcdonnell opposed birth control for married adults. learn more about bob mcdonnell's crusade

8:50 am
so for other moms to be who are getting ready to bring not only a new baby into the house, about to you deal with having a pet in the house at the same time, what is your advice? do they have to start worry building this even before the baby comes? >> they absolutely need start paying attention to this before the baby comes. long before the baby comes. first of all, you want to take care of your pet. make sure the pet is in good health. so long before the baby arrives, make sure they have a wellness exam. make sure they don't have any underlying infections, if they've got parasites internal or external, take care of al of that. and about if your pet has not been spayed or new tered, get that done. it's good for the long term health of your pet, but also cuts down on some undesirable behavior. and then thirdly, you want to behave when you're training your pet. it is so important when you bring a baby in your home for your dog to sit when you say sit. so the dog should know how to sit, stay, come and heel on command. so take them through a little obedience school. >> and you you say don't bring
8:51 am
the baby home cold. there's a way that you can rehearse? >> you want to start spending -- the mom wants to start spending a little less time with the dog or the cat so they can get used to this is the new normal. because the mother's attention is going to be on that new baby. so you want to step back just a little bit, make sure there's somebody else in the home, dad or one of the other children that compensates for that attention, but mom should pull back a little bit. and then you want to rehearse. and that means of course new moms are buying all kinds of things, you powder and oil and diapers. you want to let your dog sniff on them. because they're curious. they're naturally curious. sometimes they'll run and jump on things you don't want them to jump on just because they want to know what it is. so let them sniff everything out. also, babies bring in not only the smell, but new sounds. and there's it this cool little cd called baby sounds for pets and we have little bit of it.
8:52 am
if you want to get this -- [ baby cryinging ] >> you play it out a little bit so it's not a new sound when the been comes in. >> and what's the right way to bring the baby home? >> you want to introduce the blanket first and let him sniff the smell of the baby and then come in with the baby. and there's no problem, bentley's already sniffed this baby, but let him sniff the toes and if they lick otto, you say good, good, you want the introduction to be positive. and not to be meg difference. and that will cut down on undesirable behavior later. >> thank you so much. for more on pets and babies, go to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. jewels, do you have a pet some. >> no. i don't. so eem glad glad -- i was listening because i want a dog at some point, but then i have to reverse all those rules. >> you just have to remember when you get a dog, when you also have a child that really as a mom you become the caretaker
