beautiful september morn here. >>. ♪ september morn >> easy there. good morning, everybody. >> good to have you with us this morning. more fallout from the jets locker room incident over the weekend, players speaking out, clinton portis saying you come to the locker room, basically should expect to be ogled a bit, spoken to hmm. >> lots of debate at lots of dinner tables. also conversation this morning about a couple of new remedies for people with love handles. you would believe you can freeze them off? >> i will try anything. >> we'll talk about that this morning, as well. we begin, though, this morning with politics as the tea party express bowls over more well-known republican candidates in tuesday's primary election. the biggest surprise, the senate primary in delaware. our congressional correspondent nancy cord des is in washington
7:02 am
with the latest. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. the most stunning victory yet for the tea party and crushing blow to the republican party leaders who thought vice president biden's former senate seat would be an easy pick-up for them in the fall. not anymore. >> ladies and gentlemen, the people of delaware have spoken. >> reporter: perhaps the biggest upset of the police cal season so far the newcomer unseating veteran mike castle. >> i also want to thank the tea party express. >> reporter: the chair called o'donnell a liar and could not be elected dog catcher and, yes, the tea party conservative defeated the well-known castle, 53 to 47%. o'donnell, a former marketing consultant with a checkered record was a dark horse until
7:03 am
two weeks ago until the tea party express barrelled in. an endorsement from sarah pair lin followed. the republican party scrambled fearing this would upset another gop candidate as it already had in utah, alaska, kentucky and nevada. a last-minutes robo call recorded by her former campaign manager -- wasn't enough to turn the tide. >> the last several weeks have been spirited, shall we say. >> reporter: in new hampshire's senate primary the former attorney general was slightly ahead of the tea party-backed lamontagne, in a race too close to call. a newcomer won in new york, defeating well-known candidate rick lazio, in new york's primary for governor. >> i want everybody in the republican party who opposed me to know this. you're welcome to join the people's crusade. >> reporter: but the defeat in delaware really stings for the gop because the moderate castle,
7:04 am
who has won in the blue state of delaware ten times was considered a shoo-in to defeat the democrat in the fall. o'donnell was a decided underdog. >> hold onto your hat, folks, we're in for a fight. >> reporter: if republicans don't windle del their chances of winning back the senate are almost non existent. democrats are seizing on this upset to argue the republican party has been taken by the right wing, moderates need not apply an argument they'll take to the fall, harry. >> nancy cordes in washington, thank you. joining us to talk about the primaries and what happens in november democratic strategist tanya acker in los angeles and republican strategist dan better let in austin, texas. good morning to you both. >> good morning, harry. >> dan, talk about this, delaware, kentucky, alaska, utah, one after another after another. are all of these tea party victories good for the republican party?
7:05 am
>> well, when you have a situation like with mike castle beat in delaware, it obviously gives you pause because it's going to be very difficult, if not impossible for republicans now to gain that seat in the united states senate. having said that, though, harry, the intensity gap that we're seeing between the two parties this election cycle is mainly being fed by the tea party movement on the republican side. so, net/net, it's still a gain. the prospect of taking over the house of representatives would not happen without this vibrant activity within the tea party. while you'll have these types of anoleys like we saw with mike castle going down last night, net-net, i still think it is a positive thing with long-term consequences -- >> eve karl rove came out and said that will not help us get the seat in the long run. from a democratic perspective, tanya, as democrats watch this unfold with the rancor and derision within the republican party, the tea party really
7:06 am
catching fire out there, how do you view it? >> well, i think it really presents democrats an opportunity. i mean, i think they have to be very careful. it is one thing simply to call a lot of these candidates extremists, which i happen to think they are, but i think that the democratic message has to be bigger than. the choice the country is going to be presented with is that between one party that seems to be auditioning for a talk radio show host. you've got folks like sharron angle saying things like take up arms against the government and the democrats want to talk about unemployment benefits and wall street. the voters will have a very clear choice and i think dan is right there, is something of an enthusiasm gap but i think more democrats will be motivated to go to the polls when you hear what some of the tea party candidates are saying. i don't think most of the country wants to repeal the -- >> dan, listening to tan yeah, i wonder if you making a miscalculation as your own peril at, you know, this perceived enthusiasm gap, these people are
7:07 am
literally changing the face of a party. dan? >> well, look, i mean, it is a case in the united states senate with some of these candidate races the candidate themselves is going to make a difference whether there's a victory or a loss. but let's not lose historical sight here, that is the first midterm election of a new president is a referendum on that white house and on that leadership. and what we're seeing right now, a rejection of how the governor -- governance by democrats over the last 18 months has taken place both in the white house and united states congress. that's why republicans, while they'll have issues like they are seeing in delaware and other candidates that are not going to represent the entire republican party, the bottom line is that right now, things are shaping up for democrats to be a very long night in november. >> all right. tanya, very quickly, you have to confess, there really is kind of a throw the bums out mentality that has gotten real traction. >> well, i think that that, that movement, that mentality, seems
7:08 am
to be a relatively constant in washington but i think what democrats have to do is demonstrate they are interested in governing, not simply coming up with good sound bites for talk radio shows. >> well, we shall see. this is still unfolding, even as we speak. tanya acker and dan bartlett, we appreciate your time this morning. thank you. >> thanks, harry. >> the latest on sarah shourd the american hiker freed by iran after a year in prison. this morning, she is with her family in the middle east but the two men arrested with her are not likely to follow her. our correspondent, elizabeth palmer is in london with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. both president obama and secretary of state clinton have publicly thanked the government of the gulf state of ohman, which has emerged as a really key player in securing the release of sarah shourd. in the arms of her family, safely in the capital, sarah
7:09 am
shourd's thoughts immediately turned back to iran and the two young americans she left behind in a tehran jail. >> all of my efforts, starting today, are going to go into helping procure the same freedom for my fiance, shane bauer and for my friend josh fattal, because i can't enjoy my freedom without them. >> reporter: the three were traveling companions, on tour in kurdistan where, in july 2009, they were arrested, allegedly for crossing the iranian border illegally. they were all sent to jail. the last time they were seen together in public was in may when their mothers were allowed a brief visit. it was then that shourd announced she and bauer would marry. shourd still in oman this morning hasn't said when she will head home to the united states, where her release was bittersweet for the families of the men who remain in prison. >> just hate to see one coming
7:10 am
home. anyway, it was great to see one coming home and hope that shane and josh can follow shortly. >> reporter: but yesterday, in tehran, the news wasn't good. the prosecutor said iran's courts are still preparing to try fattal and bauer for espionage. in the states, state department spokesman p.j. crowley issued a challenge to iran's president mahmoud ahmadinejad. he said release the two men and bring them with you when you come to the united nations in new york later this month. erica? >> elizabeth palmer in london. joining us are the mothers of the two hikers still in prison laura fattal and cindy hickey. good to have you both with us this morning. >> thank you. information at this point from sarah or someone who got it from her as to how your sons are doing? >> no we haven't spoken to sarah yet. i'm very anxious to do that soon to ask her how they are doing. >> i imagine will be your first
7:11 am
question. have you had a chance to speak with norra, her mom, at all? >> no. we are anxiously awaiting that conversation. >> i'm sure. i'm sure you'll be one of the first phone calls when there is a chance to do that. does this give you any hope, though for your sons' ultimate release? >> yes, it does, it does and i'm very, very happy sarah is with norra right now but it's our time, time for josh to be with me and, of course, shane to be with cindy. so, we are hopeful, we are hopeful. >> hopeful. it has to be bittersweet, as well. have there been any signs since her release or the beginning of talks for her release to give you an indication maybe josh and shane will be home soon? >> well, we know they were three hikers together and they are three innocent hikers together and we are hopeful president ahmadinejad will recognize that, as he has with sarah and let her leave the country. >> cindy, what's one of the first things you think you will ask sarah?
7:12 am
>> first, i'll tell her i love her and ask her how shane s. i'll want to hear as much about shane as possible. you know, they have a wedding to plan. so, we need shane out, we need josh out so we can move forward with life. >> what's your major concern right now for your son? >> that he's released. you know, psychologically and physically, he needs to be out of there. my greatest concern immediately is how hard must it have been for shane and sarah to separate and they've become very close to josh, also. the separation of these three must be extremely painful for them. >> i'm sure it is a major concern for you, as well. >> yes, and they are a unit, a very tight unit. and i was very happy to hear that josh and shane could say good guy to sarah and that's a relief because they know that she's free and i'm sure they feel wonderful about that. but, it is, again, their turn, their turn to taste freedom. >> do any of these little things you are learning, they were allowed to say good-bye, the way
7:13 am
those things, are any of those signs to you or trying to read the tea leaves a little too much? >> well, it is a humanitarian gesture, i'm very grateful for that, that they josh and shane could say good-bye to sarah. that's wonderful. but, it is time for a release now. it's almost 14 months. cindy and i have not seen josh and shane for almost four months now, no phone calls, no letters since we were in tehran. >> how do you keep going at this point, cindy in. >> we just have to continue on. i feel stronger, more now than ever, to continue this and just get them release sod they can all be with their families. you know, i -- i just -- it's hard to deal with shane not being here but, quitting is not an option and we're going to move forward until it's done. >> good to have both of you with us this morning and look forward to hopefully speaking with you soon when we hear what you've heard from their sons when they are released. thanks again.
7:14 am
the rest of the mornings top stories, jeff glor at the news desk. good morning. >> good morning, everyone. an investigation under way this morning into a pilot allegedly drunk who was pulled from the cockpit and arrested as he prepared to take off. our correspondent mark phillips has the latest this morning from london. mark, good morning. >> good morning, jeff. this involves a flight scheduled to fly from amsterdam to newark, new jersey, delta flight number 35 due to fly yesterday. apparently, it had already pushed back from the terminal, preparing for takeoff, when police acting on an anonymous tip boarded the plane and breath thattized the crew and discovered the captain just over the legal limit of alcohol in the blood and so he was pulled off the plane. the flight was canceled, and he was fined about 700 euros or 900 u.s. dollars. that was it as far as the dutch police are concerned. delta air lines, the carrier, has since suspended the pilot and put the rest of the

7:38 am
jets players and coaches were unprofessional to her, that's the issue. she told us there was nothing wrong with her outfit and proud of how she looks. in fact many pictures are online which many may deem provocative but does this enter in tuesday clinton portis added fuel to the fire with these commen comments. >> all of a sudden you see a nice woman in the locker room, i think men are gonna tend to turn and look and want to say something to that woman. >> he later apologized. a league official said his comments have for place in the nfl. join us are tara sullivan, sports columnist for a new jersey us in paper and -- you have covered sports in 17 years in locker rooms about every major sport including the jets' locker room. a tough place to be, women have fought hard to be in there. is it something you have to expect as a female reporter no
7:39 am
matter how you are dressed? >> absolutely not. it's sad if we are still expecting that. that battle was fought a long time ago whether or not women have a place in the locker room. the law has decided we do. this is how the job is done. when the locker room is opened to the media, it includes men and women and that's -- >> my place of work, a big point for me when one of the players during the incident saturday yelled out to another reporter, not to miss sainz, another intimidating and con saying thatth is our locker room. that's a big issue. for the hour it is open to the media, it is my workplace, as well. >> some people have come out and said, lauren, there is a responsibilities she has, as well. that may be your locker room, a shared workplace at that point but she also has to go this there knowing certain things could take place, maybe she should have dressed a certain way. is that something women have to think about going into a locker room? >> i think it is an interesting question. i personally have never been in an locker room but in newsrooms,
7:40 am
you have to dress the part. i think when it becomes distracting, i don't want to blame her and i, you know, i'm not personally involved in the situation, but when it becomes distracting you question is she dressed appropriately? >> how much has to do, too, with american perceptions of what's appropriate some she works for a mexican tv station. we've seen plenty of pictures of her online. perhaps things are done differently on her channel. so, is it okay? >> i agree. i think there is a cultural distinction here. i think think the way these stations operate and it fell to the jets when it got a request for media credentials from this reporter from this station could have done investigation and found out this is nothing new from the station, not the only reporter who maybe acts that way or dresses or chooses to dress in certain ways. i think once they gave her, though, that credential, their players are now responsible to treat her with respect. >> you mentioned you have to dress a certain way, no matter what, in terms of respect and
7:41 am
doing your job. is there a double standard? >> yes, it is a double standard but i do think, well, looks always play but she's also -- she's in entertainment. she's not just a reporter, she's on tv. and we have to consider at that moment in the locker room, she actually -- she wasn't on camera. so, was she dressed appropriately for that situation versus sort of playing the entertainment role of her job. >> has this been overblown a bit? she sat in our studio and told us it wasn't that big of a deal, i heard it and tuned it out and others seemed more bother. >> frankly, if she wasn't as beautiful as is, i didn't think it would be that big of a deal. >> it's an issue for me. i work a lock in locker rooms. the way the jets players were interacting with her i thought was appropriate making her a target of things, to me, maybe she only had to come in once every six months and it blow up and there will be attention but i'm in there every day and if there is an indication that's
7:42 am
how jets players or across the nfl when you listen to portis's comments that indication of underlying resentment is an issue to me and the primary issue. >> could there be two issues one being, yes, they need to act better in the locker room, it is inappropriate or also do we need to dress differently? i realize she works for a mexican channel but for an american reporter who goes in there do we need a certain dress code? >> i believe there are two separate issues. i think if you want to open a discussion on appropriate workplace attire in a locker room it wouldn't just be about the women who come in here. i've seen male reporters wearing team jerseys of the team they cover and i find that inappropriate. i'm perfectly open to that. i would not choose to dress that way because in the way i want to do my job i don't feel that would be appropriate but i'm also not standing in judgment of the way others choose to dress. a very difficult and fine line to draw, as you can understand and i'm sure most feel.

see results in as little as three weeks and after a period of months and we have before and after pictures. >> all done externally? >> right no incisions or cuts on the skin or no need for anesthesia or major downtime. very subtle. you see a paunch here and less here. there's another one. >> okay. >> again a belly bump here, less here. very important to understand not for people who are obese but almost at their ideal body wait weight or may want to jump-start fine-tuning an aerial it is body sculpting. >> that's zeltic. what is the other one called. >> also with a "zoo" cerona, you need multiple sessions. you can see, again, very subtle differences. another in a man, men get plastic surgery, also, a little
7:48 am
less. this does not permanently destroy the fat cells, harry. it makes little holes in them like squishing a grape. both of these procedures will remove fat and inches from your waist do not prevent you from gaining weight in the future. >> a hypothetical now if someone like me were a potential customer for these kinds of procedures, what would my concerns be? >> you are talking about cosmetic or plastic surgery, harry, the most important thing is the patient's expectations. you want to make sure they are leelistic, any good plastic surgeon or plastic dermatologist will assess that. risks for this procedure are redness or reaction to the procedure. the big advantage to these, harry, non-invasive, no incisions and actually a little cheaper -- >> you don't have to worry about infection. >> anytime you do anything to the skin there is a proengs risk of infection but much cheaper, much faster, little downtime.
7:49 am
>> very interesting. >> you don't need it, harry. >> thanks, pal. dr. jennifer ashton, do appreciate it very much. we'll take a break and we're going to be right back.

a look at something called coparenting, a new trend, the couple divorces but easy for kids to get caught in the middle as we know. if the two exes work on a new relationship, their children can get all the benefits. they may look like a happy family buddy shaw philyaw and michael thomas are actually divorced. >> when i talk about my relationship with her, my friends are shocked. they think i live in a very crazy work.
8:10 am
>> we'll go for a hike with the puppies. >> they have two children. they split up four years ago but practice something called coparenting where exes create a positive, cooperative relationship for the sake of their kids. >> when people coparent, they rise above the issues that were reasons for their divorce in order to make sure that their children's needs are met. >> the goal was to make things more comfortable for our kids. >> instead of a bitter adversarial divorce, michael and dee shaw socialize at each other's homes and along with their spouses even vacation together. >> the kids sort of expect it and we have, you know, events and things that we've invited each other. i think she showed you your spelling test. >> she never told me but showed it to me. >> they reject the traditional ideas opting, instead, for kids to spend e call times at both homes and the former spouses say
8:11 am
being friends benefits both kids and parents. >> if you think about the interactions you'll have with your ex-spouse, if all were fraught with tension, i can't imagine how exhausting that would be. >> joining us is child and adolescent psychologist and "early show" contributor jennifer heart seen it. why is this so important? >> because it is really a protective factor for kids to be involved with both parents and helps them develop in a healthier way, better self-esteem and self-confidence, it is better for the kids but so difficult. >> it can. i think studies show in broken homes kids are three times more likely expelled from school and five times more likely to live in poverty or become criminals, incentive right. >> there absolutely. >> what's the number one inhibitor, the ego? >> yes and no. i think it's the emotion. the fact you were in a relationship with this person you loved and thought you would spend your life with and something went wrong.
8:12 am
there is hurt and resentment and anger and sadness tied up that and very hard to say i still have to see you all the time because we have kids together and put my own emotions aside but that's really what you have to do. >> if fact, the most important thing, you have three cardinal rules for co-painting. >> number one, you have to be respectful. it is very easy to use your kids as messengers and fight your battles through your children. you can't do that. you have to respect each one of you brings something to the table that's important to your children and put that first. >> that includes not talking bad about the other parent. >> do not talk badly about the other parent at all. you bad-mouth them you model for your kids what they do. that's not effective. number two, be consistent and have the same rules at each house to the best of your ability so your kids no exactly what is going on. kids will try to get over on parents marry he reed or parents who live in separate homes. the more consistent you are the better which leads to the idea you have to communicate. that way, you are talking to one another, they have this event, that event, on punishment, they can't have their phone, whatever it is, so that everybody's on
8:13 am
the same page. >> especially, those are rules that parents still together could really apply in many ways, too. >> absolutely. >> you mentioned the consistency factor. parents naturally have different ways of parenting. how do you decide who wins out, how do you make that consistent? >> i think that's an argument as you said that can happen in married families so we have to think about what's the best interests of the kids so goes back to talking about it, what needs to happen, how do we help our kid the best way, do they need to be home this weekend to do homework? i want to take them to the ball game. we have to work it through, being able to say what does our child need and how do we give it to them. >> always somebody will think they have the answer, not that i would ever do that. if one parent thinks i'm a better parent can you make that other parent do what you want? >> you have to compromise, suck up your ego and work with the other parent to do what works. >> when you bring someone new in the relationship, we saw the family together, they vacation with their new spouses. >> not the norm but ex lebt way to be. if you bring someone else, this
8:14 am
they are now part of the family and get to have rights and say and be involved, as well. >> ahh, interesting. that's going to be tough for the other half. you always have such great stuff. thanks for being with us. >> thanks. >> for more -- you'll find it all at our website early show.cbs.com. up next the doctors are here to tell us how to live healthier in just five minutes. you've got time for that. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

8:32 am
what is happening across the country, shall we? we will begin with a look what's happening in sections of the central plains right now, zooming on in and take a look at the jet stream right now, cooler air separated to the north, warmer air to the south and collide around that front which is really not going anywhere too soon. gusty winds, maybe a weak tornado afternoon through overnight and slowly moves towards the ohio valley tomorrow and into the northeast as we head through the day after. but, keep in mind, it's going to be another messy day. igor, this is what most people in bermuda are worried about right now, 570 miles east of the leeward islands, wind speed 145 piles per hour, got to 155, one mile short -- one mile per hour short, i should say, of a category 5 storm yesterday slowly moving at so miles per hour turning north. now watch all these computer models bringing it pretty much right over bermuda with the exception of one. we'll keep an eye on that,
8:33 am
saturday night, early sunday morning timing and very serious situation as it could be as strong as a category 3 storm as it rolls over. we'll watch that. that's a quick look at >> that's a quick look at our weather picture. let's send it back to the studio. harry? >> thanks very much, dave. americans spend about 10% of their income on food. how can you get the most for that money when head to the supermarket? our correspondent susan koeppen
8:34 am
is here with brand new super saving ideas. good morning. >> good morning. >> right. we've done enumerable segments about coupons but you have some ideas about coupons because people use them, there are different ways to use them and you say smarter ways, right? >> a very smart way to use your coupons. i have two. we have a dollar and 57-cent coupon. you would think the dollar is worth more. >> you would think. >> you woonk. but in most stores, they will double your coupon if it's valued at 99 cents or less. >> oh, okay. >> if you have a dollar coupon, the dollar stays a dollar. >> right. >> if you have a 75-cent coupon. >> right. >> all of a sudden when you check out and give it to the cashier becomes $1.50. when you are going shopping, if you have a coupon for toothpaste, for example a dollar coupon and 75-cent coupon, always go with the 57 cent coupon if your store doubles. >> as i say, we have done a lot of these segments on coupons
8:35 am
before. i don't think i remember anybody saying that before. >> i was explaining it to people yesterday who don't use coupons a lot and they were like, tell me again, what? what is going on? why is 75 cents more than a dollar? if your store doubles coupons. >> right. >> the promotion they have out. >> okay, a double day. >> if they are doubling coupons, you have to check with your store. >> okay 99 cents and under -- most of the time. >> right, in most stores. >> you also say and i like this, this is a great little saying, the money is in the bag. >> right. if you are buying produce, it usually pays to buy the produce that is in the bag as opposed to the loose produce. >> right. >> we went shopping yesterday and bought potatoes, a tirve-pound bag. 80 cents a pound as opposed to the loose potatoes we bought which turned out to be $17.29 a pound. >> a lot of people, though, want to get their hands on all the pieces and everything else like that. chances are with potatoes, it won't make such a difference.
8:36 am
>> if you are single and only will eat one, buy the loose potato but feeding a family, it pays to buy, use the bag. >> can you put that graphic up again? that is a significant amount -- >> 80 cents for the potatoes in the bag, the five-pound bag versus $1.29. >> you would not want -- that's like -- it would be dumb not to buy the bag. >> you are throwing money away if you are buying a lot of potatoes. >> let's go to the subject of convenience. in all of the stores now, you have these huge sections with everything in -- that you can even think of, all cut up into little pieces in containers and you've got to know you are paying serious for that. >> they are making it easy for us, everything is chopped and diced and pre-sliced but you can pay as much as 600% more getting something that is cut up as opposed to you buying it and cutting it yourself. >> 600%? >> we went shopping again and bought cantaloupe, taking a look at the precut cantaloupe, $3.99
8:37 am
a pound. >> right. >> we also bought half a cantalou cantaloupe, they cut it in half for us, $1.69 a pound but if we bought it whole it was $1.333 a pound. from 3.9 a pound to $1.33 a pound. >> that's scary, scary. obviously, you are paying for the convenience and takes, whatever, the five minutes to cut it up and scoop the stuff out and everything else. >> exactly. >> that's a big, big difference. >> that's a lot of money, 3.99 a pound is a lot of money. another question for you. sometimes you see these signs that say like ten for $10, or ten for a dollar. >> you see the sign that says ten for $10, two for $5, whatever it might be. most stores, especially using your shopper club card, you don't have to buy all ten. you can buy one if a dollar. >> a dz hhh. >> but see the sign and it says ten for $10 so all of a sudden you load ten cans of carrots
8:38 am
into your cart. you don't have to do that. are you going to eat ten cans? buy one and usually the get it for a buck. >> it says ten for ten. >> those supermarket people are very crafty and clever. >> yeah. >> they are. everything in the store is meant to be, you know, for sale, they want you to buy -- >> do you know how many people in america have shelves like pantrys filled with carrots they never ate. supermarket flyers, they come, some people use them as bibles. >> right. >> but are not exactly holy scripture, right? >> right. here's the cool thing you need to know about the supermarket flyer. the front page, everything on the front page is usually on sale at cost or below cost. >> okay. >> so, it gets you into the store. but, as you flip through the flyer, not everything inside the flyer is actually on sale. >> on sale. >> you should know that companies sometimes pay the grocery store to -- >> paid advertisement. >> -- to put their ad in there because a mention in a
8:39 am
supermarket flyer can increase sales as much as 500%. >> last but not least, product placement you walk in the store where it is has a lot to do with cost. >> on the end caps people try to get you to buy from there, may seem on sale but not always. check the freshness date. that's where they try to get rid of stuff. >> always appreciate it. a break-out hit last year, fans have waited a long time for the new season to begin, part of cbs's tuesday night lineup this fall and kicks off with a heck of a bang. >> need to know everything. >> and you won't. >> zip? >> nothing for 15 hours? what do you think? >> she's holding something back. >> i think she likes him, doesn't want to admit it. >> no, something else, like she's hiding something. >> so, let's ask her.
8:40 am
