one question, do you believe a nasal spray could make you nicer? >> i don't know. it will take more than that, probably. [ laughter ] >> we can only hope. but we have the results of a new study coming up on the show that says men, if they use nasal spray, will be nicer. >> thank you for telling me is. also, remember that show a long, long time ago "love american style"? we have something to show called "divorce japan style" one of the things they are doing there now, big divorce parties for all parties involved. celebrations after the divorce. >> of the separation. >> exactly, rather than going away on a honeymoon but a post-divorce-moon, if you want to call it that. >> you can coin a new term. >> exactly. a big show but first our top story this morning a large part of the east coast drying out after getting battered by ream nants of a power. and deadly tropical storm that flooded roads, cut power to,000
8:02 am
and brought record rainfall. good morning. >> reporter: go morning. things have cleared up considerably here, chris, in wilmington, delaware but 24 hours ago we were talking about the heavy rain, the rivers and creeks that were flooding causing this bridge behind me to collapse stranded hundreds of residents. but this is only the beginning of the story, of course. a lot of states were hit from the damage of that storm up and down the east coast. from north carolina to maine, residents are bailing out after two days of torrential rain pummeled the east coast. north carolina got the worst of it. the national weather service reported almost 23 inches of rain in some areas. seven people died in traffic accidents, and hundreds others had to be saved from rising rivers. sudden heavy downpours dropped 10 inches on the philadelphia area. one person died and others had to be rescued from the upper floors of their flooded home. at the height of the downpour,
8:03 am
95,000 customers lost power in the northeast. friday morning's commute in new york was chaos when highways and underpasses were submerged. many cars did not have time to avoid the rising waters. >> i was driving and it started floatin' and then i said, oh. >> reporter: children were rescued from a stranded school bus on long island. some schools opened but then were forced to close when basements and parking lots flooded. >> i got a phone call and come pick her up. i just dropped her up. >> reporter: new england was battered friday afternoon but spared the worst of it as the storm veered out to sea. everyone hopes to dry out this weekend, though so much water fell in parts of north carolina, pennsylvania and new york that flood warnings remain in effect. things are clear again here right where we're standing in wilmington, delaware. it is unclear when this bridge will be completely fixed but there is a temporary road residents are able to travel down and will be paved later
8:04 am
today. live in wilmington, delaware -- >> i ven ter to guess it will take quite some time. thank you very much. rebecca? thank you, chris. this weekend huge crowds of anxious homeowners are flocking to a los angeles arena for a chance to refinance their mortgages and save their homes from foreclosure. our news correspondent bill whitaker reports. >> reporter: economists say the recession are over but not for these thousands. many have lost their jobs and all fear losing their homes. >> i work hard for, you know, for keep my house from my family. >> reporter: so, she came here for help. >> name, social security number. >> naca, the neighborhood assistance corporation of america is putting bankers and homeowners face to face to negotiate lower payments. what are you doing in los angeles this week? >> saving homes, saving marriages, in some cases saving lives.
8:05 am
>> reporter: 80% of these people find help. >> if everything goes well, we are going to it be able to save almost $900 on our mortgage. >> reporter: the obama administration's home affordable modification program hasn't enjoyed the same success. the government says more than three million homeowners qualify for federal help but only 468,000, about 15%, have actually gotten their mortgages permanently modified. >> the administration has to stop posing, pretending that it's working and start getting the job done. >> reporter: 31,000 desperate homeowners are expected to come to the tables seeking help before they fold up monday night. and bank of america is delaying foreclosures for homeowners in 23 states after admitting the bank may have rushed foreclosure proceedings without fully reading the necessary documents involved. bank of america is not alone. other lenders are examining if, they, too signed foreclosure
8:06 am
documents without verifying the information on them and joining us with the latest is fox business network reporter sandra smith. great to see you. thank you for being here. so, we have this basically thing going on in california where people are negotiating, renegotiating -- >> lines around the corner. >> lines around the corner and banks, a number around the country, halting foreclosures. what's the end game as far as prices and home values? >> the goal would be to keep these folks this their homes because one out of every four homes in the second quarter alone sold in four closer. it is still not a pretty situation. so, anything that these counselors, these banks can do to just keep people this their homes benefits everybody, it benefits the homeowner struggling to pay their mortgage, also those that are able to pay their mortgages. why? because if your neighbor goes into foreclosure, it lowers the value of the homes in your neighborhood. we want these people to stay in their homes so we want them to get the help they need. >> do we see it as something that's going mitigate foreclosures going forward or something that's a temporary
8:07 am
fix. >> let's face it there is still a glut of homes on the market right now. there are still staggering numbers out just on a month-to-month basis seeing foreclosures rise and a record number of them coming on the market so it will take a lot of time for this situation to improve but, at the end of the day, it all comes down to jobs. if people aren't working, they can't pay their mortgages. so, you know, it really stems still from the high unemployment in this country right now. >> high unemployment, 9.6% right now. we have a report coming up friday, the new unemployment figures for september. what are analysts anticipating. >> i don't want to scare everybody out there but economists say we are going to see that unemployment number rise. right now it is at 9.6%. the average economists is predicting it the rise to 9.7% before we all say my gosh it is getting worse, sometimes the unemployment number goes those sitting at home say they can't get a job means they are going back out there, rebecca, and actuallying looking for work
8:08 am
which will bump up the number but bottom line still near 10% unemployment, not a good situation right now. >> also not necessarily a good situation when it comes to spending as consumers because our spending drives growth in this country. what are people in this country buying right now. >> they're not buying the big-ticket items yet. when we look at those durable goods orders we still see they are not buying new refrigerators or cars necessary. what they are buying is groceries and health care items. >> necessities. >> the necessities. the non-discretionary items, things that we need. they are still going to the walmarts and targets not buying the tronks and home goods and improving their homes or buying clothes just yet but still going out and buying groceries, medicine. it's not a good sign for the economy. we are starting to see some improvements. retailers, for example heading to the holiday season, they are expected to be hiring temporary workers in large numbers. i mean, rebecca, last christmas -- >> that's a good sign for unemployment. >> a fw sign. >> and may be reflected in the numbers going forward.
8:09 am
>> absolutely. last year 500,000 temporary work. this year, if you are looking they are expecting to higher in big number 500 to 600,000 temporary workers, macy's and others are hiring. >> thank you so much. chris? >> rahm emanuel is now the former white house chief of staff. yesterday the president is good-bye to the second most powerful man in the white house. he joins a growing list of top aides who have left the administration weeks before critical elections. for perspective on what these changes mean we're joined by our political analyst john dickerson in washington for us this morning. good morning. >> good morning, chris. >> the president has decided on an interim basis to go with pete rouse. do you feel it was egg risky f risky? do you feel the president maybe should have gone outside his circle? >> pete rouse is the long-time advi adviser to the president, not many know him. he stays behind the scenes.
8:10 am
at this point it is pretty smart for the president to do that. they are in confined of a twilight period. rahm emanuel had to leave to run for mayor. there is a month before the elections, they don't know how they will turn out so rouse provides continuity and can get things in order in a future with more republicans in washington and after the election the white house will have to make some news, included in those may be name agnew chief of staff or may decide to make moves in other positions and willny rouse to provide that stability if other things will change. >> let's continue our conversation with midterms and talk about other noeks, influential people, meg whitman running for governor in california campaigned heavily on immigration. now there is a big problem there, potentially had an illegal immigrant working for her for ten years, her maid. is this a legitimate issue? there are two very sides to this story or a smear tactic, do you think? >> well, it's a legitimate issue because illegal immigration is a
8:11 am
huge issue in california. she ran hard on that. it's been a distraction for her anytime a candidate has to say i'll take a lie detector test they're on shaky ground and her opponent is certainly, you know, trying to use this, attorney general brown, is trying to use this as a way to talk about her credibility. and gary brown has run an ad now at the end that says isn't credibility important? they want to turn this into a multiple-day story and say there is something at the heart of her that is dishonest and she has to find a way to change the subject and taking a lie detector test to figure out whether she knew, indeed, this long-time household help was an illegal alien is one way to try to get that away from her and to the issues. it is a tight race, neck and neck between the two. >> they are debating tonight on the west coast. it should be interesting. let's talk about christine o'donnell. she's basically campaigning differently, not out there as much as when she first jumped on to the scene.
8:12 am
what do you think about this strategy. >> probably a smart strategy for her. you know, everybody wanted a piece of her. i mean, the media wanted her, all over the national airwaves and the tea party movement wanted to make her the kind of candidate who proves their movement for the moment and her candidacy got away from her and clips that seemed to appear in great regularity showing her in an unfavorable light so best for her to stay out the limelight at the moment, focus on delaware and her difficult task there, which is to win in a blue state, convince moderates and independents that she has a candidacy that's worth getting behind because that's what she'll need to do to actually win in november. >> john, got to wrap it up right there. thanks so much for taking the time and joining us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thanks chris. >> for the rest of the headlines betty nguyen joins us. >> good morning. osama bin laden and senior al qaeda leaders thought involved in the latest terror plots against several european cities. that word from u.s. intelligence
8:13 am
officials as another purported audio message from him as surfaced on the internet. our correspondent bob orr reports. >> reporter: intelligence sources say there is no reason to doubt the voice on the new al qaeda tape belongs to osama bin laden. in an 11-minute audio message, the al i could today chief calls for more help for the 20 million pakistanis impacted for devastating floods. what governments spend on relief, he says, is secondary, to what they spend on armies. bin laden's reference to the flood suggest the tape was made in the past two months. and it seems to prove that the al qaeda leader continues to elude u.s. efforts to kill him. predator drone strikes have been ramped up in recent weeks and dozens of other taliban and al qaeda fighters have been killed. the tape also comes as european security officials work to disrupt terror plots targeting major cities in great britain, france, germany, perhaps denmark and he's right at the center of the new threat.
8:14 am
sources say bin laden and top al qaeda henchman thought to be hiding along the border have urged affiliated terror groups to strike when and where they can. while no attacks appear imminent security forces across europe remain on high alert. bob orr, cbs news, washington. >> at least 36 people are dead after two trains collided in indonesia this morning. one train plowed into the back of another that was stopped at a station on the island of java. rescuers pulled trapped survivors from the mangled wreckage. dozens of people were injured, many seriously. the cause of that crash, well, that's not been determined as of yet. it appears two experienced american balloonists were killed when their balloon suddenly plunged into the adriatic sea. they left england one week ago today at the start of a balloon race. they disappeared from radar off the coast of croatia last wednesday. an air & sea search turned up no trace of the pilots off their
8:15 am
craft. republican tea party senate candidate christine o'donnell says she is in control of her political message and doesn't care how she is portrayed by the national media. this from last night's broadcast. >> i was i was dabbling into every other kind of religion before i became a christian. >> you were a witch. >> i was. i was. i was dabbling in witchcraft. i dabbled in buddhism and i would have been a harekrishna and did not want to become a vegetarian. >> boy are, you spiritual. >> she claims to remain a christian. maher is trying to goad her to appear on his show. lonnie quinn is off today but with us is jackie with a first look at the weather.
8:16 am
welcome. >> very good morning. i like your red dress. it makes me think of the red-hot heat we'll talk about in the desert southwest. not here but first a look at your big weather makers, your weather headlines, what we are looking at finally drying out on the east coast, the system that brought over 20 inches of rain to the carolinas, autumn chill folt northern plains, still summer out west. why? this big ridge of high pressure, absolutely beautiful and consequently are going to see temperatures in the southwest between the 80s and the 90s. we might even hit some triple digits. so flagstaff, down through albuquerque, watch out for that sun, make sure that you have your sunscreen with you and it's all about flip-flops and tank tops. that's a look at your national weather. here is your weekend forecast.
8:17 am
all right. that is a look at your national weather. chris and rebecca, a better hair day in the northeast because it is dry. >> thank you. >> we'll take that, along with the chill. >> oh, yeah. thank you. coming up we'll talk about the rutgers story tyler clementi, the young freshman who committed suicide there. we'll speak with former new jersey governor mcgreevey when we come back. >> plus we'll talk about nasal sprays actually said to make men nicer. we'll have the release of a new study when we come back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs.

8:19 am
ja friday both prosecution and defense delivered closing arguments in the connecticut home invasion case. steve hayes is currently on trial one of the two men accused of killing jennifer hawke-petit and her daughters. beth car ris, former prosecutor anchors dent for "in session" not former, excuse me, has
8:20 am
followed the case for us. beth, how are you. good morning. >> good morning. >> what happened during closing arguments? >> the prosecution laid out the timeline of what happened, spoke for about -- two prosecutors in all, about an hour and a half and they had so much to work with, defense actually conceding most of the crimes, they had to talk about the horror of these crimes and try to bring the jury into the shoes of these girls as they were tied to their beds, having gasoline poured over them and lit on fire. >> defense trying to plead their case their client basically wasn't as much him as the other guy. and things got out of control. do you think they did a competent job of proving that? >> well, you know, they did what they could with the evidence, which is pretty overwhelming, let's face it. they tried to pass the buck onto joshua komisarjevsky will be tried sometime next year saying their client, steven hayes, is really a follower, a two-bit burglar, a burglary that got out
8:21 am
of hand and the violence was introduced by the co-defendant. they actually conceded all the crime, arson, burglary, rape and murder of the mother. he said he did not intend to kill those two girls and is not guilty of that. >> you've got to get the jurors to work in consort to get the death penalty here. do you think the evidence has been damning enough that will probably be the case, such a grarveg, graphic case? >> it will not be surprising if all 12 jurors vote guilty on all 17 counts, six capital felonies and if it moves to another phase and all 12 of them also agree to death, it is such an egregious case citizens in connecticut seem to be on balance on the death -- pro-death side even though it is a real divisive issue in connecticut and only have ten people on death row t. doesn't happen often. >> can the other defendant get a fair trial? >> it will happen where the first trial happened. it was difficult to get it this
8:22 am
one, it took months, this jury but i think they will, it will take a while. >> what do you think will happen monday. >> the jury will get the case by mid-day. there could be a verdict by the end of the day because the defense has admitted to almost all of the crimes charged. >> thanks for joining us this morning. just ahead, you are watching morning. just ahead, you are watching "the early show" -- excuse me,
8:23 am
welcome back. in japan a new craze among couples guess what involves rings, family, friends, moving speeches and big celebrations afterwards. >> but not a wedding. it a divorce ceremony. the latest trend for lovers looking to untie the knot. our correspondent reports. >> reporter: japan, a country steeped in ancient traditions is home to a new ritual, one that treats divorce as a fresh beginning.
8:24 am
they have been married six years. soon, they will part forever. a divorce ceremony will cast aside our doubts and will be a new start for us, he explains. in japan, divorce rituals are the latest trend, the process of parting ways. the couple rides separately to the ceremony where their friends and an organizer are waiting. it is time for the big event. with the slam of a hammer, the service and six years of shared history are over. this was the first time since cutting our wedding cake that we held something together, she admits. with no time for tears, the ceremony ends and an unlikely celebration begins. this marriage is legally and emotionally over, like so many in japan. the country's divorce rate is rising. up to two divorces per thousand citizens last year. in neighboring china, fairy-tale
8:25 am
weddings are also coming to it an end. divorces are soaring, up 8.8% in the past year to 1.8 of courses per a thousand people in 2009 a decade ago, couples wanting to legally entheir marriage first had to obtain permission that bare bosses at work. you in new laws mean it is a lot easier to say not "i do" but, "i don't" n. japan, this organizer receives six or seven phone inquiries a day for his services, though only a few are ready for them for. this couple, this new ritual has brought an event usually marked by heartache to a close with a smile and simple handshake. >> there you have it. >> it is an interesting way to go but you think about all the businesses that are just loving this. >> oh, yes. >> they love the fact they can make a little extra money off you. >> i'm thinking tongue in cheek in america maybe we treat
8:26 am
marriages and divorces like the olympics. save enough money for and opening ceremony and ending ceremony. >> all i can say, a, you are funny, b, if i go to one of those ceremonies, i want the gift back. >> it's all about gift giving. right? >> still ahead, the former new jersey governor here to share his insight on the rutgers university tragedy. for some of you your local news is next, for others stay with us. you are watching "the early show" here on cbs.
8:27 am
four years ago, bob ehrlich got fired as governor of maryland. for good reason. first, he protected tax loopholes for giant cable cable companies. then, he let utilities jack up our rates 72%. and for the last four years, he worked as a hired gun for big corporations, even a bank that took billions from a taxpayer
8:28 am
funded bailout. ehrlich sides with corporate executives again and again and again tell bob ehrlich big banks and billionares don't need help. middle class marylanders do.
8:29 am
i don't know if you read about the new website i launched.
8:30 am
>> no. >> the faecebook -- >> just a little social networking website the five-star movie taking america by storm. we are sharing early coffee with aaron sorkin, the writer behind the movie and everyone is talking about. this welcome to "the early show," i'm rebecca jarvis. >> i'm krig wragge. how many friends do you have on facebook? >> zero. i'm not on. >> we've got to get you involved, the sornl network. >> i love the movie so much i may just do it. >> also ahead this hour we'll talk about romancing the nose, believe it or not. it sounds odd but bear with me how a nasal spray can turn an insensitive jerk into a real romeo. >> we'll try it on you. >> first a much more serious note, a moment of silence this afternoon before the rutgers university football game to
8:31 am
remember tyler clementi, who took his own life after police say his roommate secretly recorded him in a sexual encounter with another man. here's jeff glor. >> reporter: tonight, he was to play with the rutgers symphony orchestra for the first time. instead, the performance will be dedicated in his memory, his chair left empty. friday, students wore black as they signed condolence cards on campus remembering a freshman who took his own life after police say fellow students dharun ravi and molly wei tried to stream live video of clementi's sexual encounters with another man. >> i wanted to show my respect. >> reporter: police say ravi did it twice enough to make cleme clementi ask for a room transfer. from a post. i went to the nearest r.a. and set this thing in motion and see what happens. he seemed to think it seriously. he asked me to write a paragraph about what happened. i e-mailed it to him and the two
8:32 am
people above him. rutgers university has still not said how far that request got but later that night clementi jumped off the george washington bridge. currently, ravi and wei face up to five years in prison. but on friday in the wake of clementi's death, one new jersey lawmaker proposed increasing the maximum penalty for privacy invasion from five years to ten, saying severe consequences are needed. jeff glor, cbs news, new york. if anyone should know what tyler clementi was going through, the former new jersey governor who resigned the governoror ship famously announcing in 2004 he was a homosexual. >> and so, my truth is that i am a gay american and i am blessed to live in the greatest nation. >> joining us from plainfield, new jersey, the former new jersey governor. governor, welcome. thank you for joining us this morning. >> chris, thank you. >> if i could just get your reaction when you heard this story this young man was publicly ridiculed to the point of suicide because of his sexuali
8:33 am
sexuality, what were your thoughts? >> very sad, chris, painful because so many gay youth go through this process and as, you know, people have explored gay sexuality understand, that happens one person at a time, one individual at a time. and as opposed to understanding our family history, each person begins to develop a recognition that somehow they're different, they're distinct and then are charged with the responsibility of figuring out, well, what is this? and for me, it was coming to an understanding that i was gay but, also, for teenagers, coming to that understanding during those years sometimes can be very difficult, very painful, and very lonely. >> you know it was difficult for you. how much more difficult for a young man like this a freshman in college the pressures of being in this new environment and being on his own like that? >> yeah. for the sake of the family, for the sake of the community, the rutgers community.
8:34 am
but, if any good comes out of this, chris, it's been the overwhelming sense of love and affection and remorse and respect for this young man so that it struck a chord throughout new jersey and i think, also, throughout the nation that somehow this is profoundly wrong, not only the invasion of privacy but, also, transgressing into this man's personal life and the fact that tyler felt he had no where to go. i mean, his -- the intensity of his pain, the fact that he thought that he hit a brick wall and had no option. and i think it struck a chord in all of us that we have to do more as a society, as a people, our church communities, as a government to make young men and women that happen to be gay welcomed and understanding they have an avenue they can approach. >> can i ask you what you think should be done to the two classmates of his that posted this video on the internet? you are a former prosecutor. what would you do? >> well, i think on one hand i'd like to see the toughest maximum
8:35 am
be allocated again these young people. to send a strong message because we need to change people's hearts but we also need to tell people that, if they don't do the right thing for the right reasons, they have to be held accountable. but then, ultimately, you know, i don't know, i don't think incarceration is necessarily the right answer. but, doing some -- some level of service, working with gay youth, giving back. but, what i find so reassuring is not only the response throughout the country, not only the response in the legal community, but god willing, you know, we have had a change of heart with tyler's tragedy. and so, that's hopeful. but, so you want to punish these young people who have done something wrong and hopefully turn their lives, but you want to take a greater good out of that and part of that is, you know, educating people to the tragedies of gay youth, the reality that gay youth attempts suicide so much more than straight youth and tragically
8:36 am
they succeed. and so, it's sort of creating avenues of opportunity, whether it's, you know, gay-straight alineses in high school, having people educated so that young gay kids have an avenue, a place to go to. >> governor, let me ask you one final question here there. are reports this morning that tyler went to school officials in the days leading up to this. is the school responsible for not coming to his aid sooner, do you think? >> well, i think, chris, that investigation is ongoing. but, what we need to do, and we passed some of the toughest laws in the country here in the state of new jersey on anti-bullying. what we need to do is hold people in power and responsibility, we have to have clear lines of allocation. that is, if somebody comes to an r.a., a teacher or principal and says there is an incident of bullying it needs swift, effective follow-up because as we saw in tyler's case and thankfully these cases aren't as always as severe or painful but
8:37 am
we need quick reaction. it is not the type of thing, chris that, allows for a long-term deliberation. >> governor, thank you very much for taking the time. >> thank you. thank you for your focusing on this issue, god willing, some kid out there says, you know, i can grapple with this and there are people who are willing to listen. >> it is a story that has struck a chord. governor, thank you. good talking with you. >> thank you. >> now to jackie for another check of the weather. >> thank you. let's take a look what is happening right across the country starting with your forecast. what was a big weathermaker for the east coast bringing rain to the matter time provinces, maine, the midwest, chicago and detroit expect light showers, not a big weather maker. the big story is the cool and brisk air. we can thank our friends north of the border for this cold, canadian high pressure. you will really feel the cold temperatures in the 50s, make sure you take your plants indoors tonight. that's a look at your national weather. now, here's your weekend weather. of

a recent study found men with low social competence demonstrated more empathy after a few squirts of oxytocin, a nasal spray. more on what's called the cuddle chemical. great to see you. >> good morning. >> it is oxytocin. how does it work, what does it do, where do we find it? >> actually a natural occurring hormone secreted by the pituitary glands in our brains.
8:42 am
women secrete more and usually around childbirth thought to help with bonding, empathy with others, communication and part of the reason it created so much during childbirth, it helps the mother bond with the child and form those aattachments after birth. but it might also have some other uses. >> other uses, for example, like making men nicer but the study showed, where would you find if you wanted to purchase it right now, a place you can buy it? >> no. it is prescription only and only used in labor and delivery. doctors have to prescribe it to women and it induces labor. it is not yet used in this context. but really, this was an interesting study, researchers looked at 27 men and gash them what was called an empathetic accuracy test, basically a score of the social competence. now, men who had the lowest score going in, who took the oxytocin nasal spray were thought to be more sensitive, more understanding and more empathetic afterwards. >> when we saw the actual study did show the men were nicer
8:43 am
afford, in terms of the practical applications for this study, what are scientists getting at here. >> right. researchers were interested in doing the study primarily they think it might benefit people with social anxiety disorders or syndromes like you a tim and spectrum disorders. it might help people build those attachments and bonding that can be problems in those disorders but it is still a ways away, not something that will be used right now. we have to look at the side effect profile and see how much benefit it might be. and the application for those insensitive boy friends is still way down the line. >> dr. phillips, thank you so much. we appreciate you being with us here. >> sure. >> such an interesting topic. for more, go to our partner this health webmd.com and search "love hormone" coming up, the man behind the biggest movie of the year, screenwriter aaron sorkin, he's dishing on "the social network." that's coming up and you are

"the social network" just opened yesterday and already called the film of the year by "rolling stone" tells the conflicting story behind facebook's creation and the struggle of the young men who founded it. >> written by aaron sorkin whose remarkable body of work includes "the american president" "charlie wilson's war" and the hit series "west wing" aaron join us for coffee. good morning. before we started i tried to friend you on facebook. what happened. >> i'm not on facebook. we can friend each other in real life. i'm your friend. >> you are not on facebook. >> no, i'm not. when i signed up for this, i didn't know anything about facebook. i wasn't on facebook. i barely heard of facebook. i had heard of facebook the way i've heard of a carburetor but i can't pop the hood of my car and point at it and tell you what it
8:48 am
was. that should tell you you do not need to be on facebook or love facebook or need to be a tech geek to enjoy this movie, which is for everybody. >> you also, in the process of going through and creating the characters didn't really have contact with mark zu ker berg, the lead character. >> no. we aggressively tried to get mark's cooperation because i knew i would be speaking to people who would oop have an axe to grind with mark. we wanted him to participate, too. in the end he did exactly what i would have done and declined to participate but the research really fell into three categories there is available research out there, stuff you can get on the internet, like mark's blogs, which have become dramatized in the movie, some cartons of legal documents and the first-person research talking to the people, who were there. some of them who are portrayed in the movie and most of me spoke to me on the condition of anonymity. >> one thing that gave you the best appreciation for the nuanced character, what was it? >> mark is a very complicated guy.
8:49 am
he's got an iq of 7,000, not just a programming genius. he's a creative genus but he's also very socially awkward guy, extremely shy. he's a guy with his nose pressed up against the glass of social life at college and he just wanted to be accepted. i think that's something that all of us can relate to and he invented something that he needed. he invented facebook so that he could reinvent social life in a way where he would participate in it. >> you were immediately sold on this project, from what i read, it took you about three pages to read the treatment -- >> that's right. >> -- i am on this thing. did you regardless, having spoke with you before we went on the air, this is kind of a movie of a generation. did you know what you were stumbling on? >> no. when i write something, i write something, i try to write something that i like, that i think my friends will like, and they think my father will like and then i keep my fingers crossed enough other people will
8:50 am
like it i can earn a living. >> back to zuk ber berg a second. conflicting reports he has seen it or not seen it. how do you think he will feel he was portrayed. accurately or fiction? we know that's probably not true. >> as far as mark goes, my biggest concern is the audience, the people who aren't mark. but, i understand why you're asking the question. i don't think any of us would want a movie written about the things we did when we were 19 years old. so, i can understand if mark isn't the first one in line at the theater. >> can you appreciate, though, i mean you are brilliant in your own right but can you appreciate the brilliance of this kid what he was able to do and now this is a -- a billion -- >> i absolutely appreciate it. i can't come close to understanding it or recognizing it. it seems like a different being. you mentioned that facebook has 500 million people. if it were a country it would be the third biggest country tht world. he -- he -- it's a phenomenon
8:51 am
what he did. he did it when he was 19. he's only 26 now. he's the youngest billionaire in the word. and he reinvented the way people socialize and did it for people like himself who are just more comfortable in the solitude of their own room, kind of inventing a character for themselves, just like i do. listen, i would love for people to think i'm as smart and clever and folksy as martin sheen on "the west wing" so i get that and empathize with him. >> speaking of "the west wing" of course this huge body of work behind you ornl just "the social network." how do you think in the grand scream of things this project compares to your previous projects? >> you know, that's something, like with kids, i never like doing that. i've loved everything that i've been involved with. but, i tend to be most in love with the thing that i'm doing right now. >> we thank you for being with us this morning. >> my pleasure, thanks a lot.

9:08 am
mama siberian tiger, with her three cubs, which are josie, julian, and then one cub that has yet to be named. then the other set, i think we have a camera over right next door, where we have some malayan tiger. there are three of them, as well. they are claiborne, the only female of all of these, as well as papino and one unnamed tiger there. there is a whole lot of joy going on here at the bronx zoo. >> and a lot of people enjoying it with you. debbye, i hand it over to you and your other special guest. >> thank you so much. first of all let me just say the cubs are beautiful and great to look at but really are a part of a very important conservation effort. tiger -- all species, eight subspecies of tigers, there were, three of them are extinct so only five subspecies left in the wild and all of this em are critically endangered. i want it talk to the director of the bronx zoo who joins me
9:09 am
mr. jim brahini, welcome this morning. >> welcome to you. >> i know it is so exciting to have these cubs at the zoo. tell me why they are important to the tigers that are even out in the wild. >> these cubs really are ambassadors for the tigers out in the wild because most people that come to the bronx zoo or any zoo around the country aren't going to get the opportunity to see tigers in the wild. so, when they can come to a place like the bronx zoo and see tigers in a natural habitat, it's the second-best way to view tigers. as a matter of fact, you probably get a better view of tigers here than in the wild. >> you are not just taking great care of the tigers you have here at the zoo. the wildlife conservation society also is doing a lot to help preserve the tigers that are out in the wild. tell us a little bit about what you are doing. >> since the beginning of our history, the wildlife conservation society has worked with animals in the field and we learned a long time ago that it's not just enough to protect and save animals but you also have to protect the habitats in which they live and breed. so, what we try to do is save
9:10 am
habitat and set up reserves and ranges wherever we can for these animals to still go on in the wild. >> i know you have a lot of work ahead of you, as you said, only 3500 are in the wild. i want to talk a little bit about some triv yeah. the siberians get to be about 600 pounds and malayans much smaller, about 200 pounds. they eat a commercially prepared meat diet, cats are true carnivores and eat clurvely meat, 7 to 10 pounds of this. >> a day and the youngsters right now about a pound, pound and a half. >> thanks so much for giving the world a first view of these cubs. >> our pleasure. >> we wish you all the best with your effort. >> thank. >> drew: rebecca, back to you. >> so cool, thanks for sharing with us this morning dr. debbye turner bell. the tigers love to ate meat. do you know the airlines love to ate your walt. they charge nearly $# billion in extra fees last year. we're going to tell you which airlines charge the most for everything from checking bags to

9:13 am
9:14 am
no longer true to say airlines have been nickel and diming passengers with all sorts of additional fees because it is way past nickels and dimes now. last year domestic airlines collected an astounding 7.8 billion dollars in added fees up 42% from 2008 here to break down the fees and how to avoid them our reporter who writes "usa today's" "today in the sky blog" good to have you with us. >> thank you for having me. >> before we started, rebecca got this in the mail, look at that, first bags free and basically put her over the top.
9:15 am
basically, one bag free, that's the big incentive these. >> that's what it's come to and leveraging credit card loyalty to earn points and you won't have to pay all all this. >> let's discuss which are best or worse at it. bag fees are spoebl one of the single orders most frustrating things for airline travelers. >> you would think we had just gotten throughout worst. if you want to avoid bag fees, southwest is the best way to go or jetblue, two free on southwest, one o jetblue. that can save you a lot especially traveling three or four people in a family. >> talk about the worst. >> the worst, that has to go to spirit. they charge 15 for the first checked bag, 25 for the second, pretty standard but that carry-on fee if you want to carry on a bag it is $45 each way, 30 checked on line but still 60 to 90 dollars round-trip regardless. the checked bag fee, they will get you either way. >> how about the change fees?
9:16 am
i mean that frustrates me a lot. >> most frustrating. again, southwest is the leader. they don't charge you any change fee. just this week i change ad flight from washington to pittsburgh, $28, it would cost hundreds on other airlines such as american, delta, united, they charge a hundred to change your ticket and recalculate your fare southwest is the loan standout by far. >> on jut blue you pay a low amount on the ticket and the change fee is 150. >> they say you can buy a non-refundable but they ten to cost thousands. >> how about the in-person booking fees. >> unless it is absolutely you can't do without going on line, southwest won't charge you anything, frontier won't charge you anything kinds of exceptions these day, allegient, they charge you $45 round trip, a series of fees, almost $45, three cents short but no way to
9:17 am
avoid it unless you go to a ticket counter at the airport. >> how about pets. >> a lot of us like to fly with pets these days but will cost about every airline, the best we found air-tran, $69, not checking them but in the cabin. $69 one way. that's not so bad. $75 on a number of the other low-cost carriers, allegiant, frontier, southwest. the other end of the spectrum, united, delta, con not only charge you $125. but that's your range. if you want a pet in the cab it will cost you 69 to 125 dollars each way in the united states. >> southwest i'm hearing over and over again, sounds like they may an economical move for people to make. >> it s. they've hung their hat on that and started this bags fly free campaign, which they tout. >> as far as i guess safety, another thing to stay within. >> one thing you can really if you can stay on united or delta or american or or one of the frequent flyer alliances and make it to 25,000 miles a year
9:18 am
they waive most of the fees. >> thanks so much. >> my pleasure. can you say four tony awards, talk about good numbers bringing broadway to fifth avenue, the cast of the hit musical "memphis" performs live on the plaza when we come back. this is "the early show" on cbs. . plus five dollars in coupons to get you started. campbell's condensed soup. pass it on. campbell's.® it's amazing what soup can do.™ discover customersl are getting five pcent cashback bonus at restaurants. it pays to switch, it pays to discover. my friends at work think there's more than one "me." ...because on our trips, i always get there faster. see, expedia lets me mix and match airlines. so i can take one airline out... and another home.
