a brand new cbs news poll shows most americans think president obama is not living up to their expectations. but, they don't know if the tea party is an answer to the problem. we'll take you inside the numbers and tell you why one tea party candidate is making the most noise. and lucky to be alive. a washington state man describes the harrowing encounter with a bear that nearly took his life. >> in a split second, i saw the bear coming and she just launched right into me. >> how did he fight it off? we'll hear from him early this thursday morning, october 7th, we'll hear from him early this thursday morning, october 7th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs nice crowd on a beautiful fall day. good morning, everybody i'm harry smith. >> i'm maggy rodriguez. a week since the american couple was ambushed while jet skiing in a lake along the u.s.-mexico

border. he was killed and now we are starting to see both sides really begin to search in earnest for his body. also we're seeing even more questions about the widow's story of how this happened. we'll talk to her and his mother ahead. >> first, though, we head right to the news desk this morning. erica hill is standing by with this this morning's headlines. >> good morning to all of you at home. we begin this morning with wild weather in the west including a rare tornado outbreak in northern arizona. priya david-clemens is in hard-hit belmont with the latest. good morning. >> good morning. just outside flagstaff at this rv sales lot. look at the destruction here. the wind tossed these rvs like toys, tore some apart comple completely. not a scene they are used to in the arizona desert. a swarm of tornadoes derailed dozens of train cars and tossed rvs in the air tearing a destructive path through neighborhoods, ripping off roofs. >> the worst i've ever seen.

>> reporter: and blowing out windows. >> all of a sudden i see our sliding door just all the glass just exploded. >> reporter: this amateur video captured one twister in the town of belmont, where winds reached 110 miles per hour. in nearby flagstaff -- >> a record amount of tornado warnings issued from the national weather service up there in flagstaff. >> reporter: 22 tornado warnings in one day. typically, there are just four in an entire year. when it was over, 200 homes were damaged, 33 destroyed. >> just can't believe that it's gone,s it's just gone. >> reporter: a week of extreme weather across the west. snow in the sierra closed a highway pass. heavy rains snarled traffic in los angeles. flooded streets and grounded flights in phoenix. hail in arizona stunned even this veteran weatherman. >> pellets of hail are falling

like bullets now. this is painful to be out here. >> reporter: that hailstorm tuesday left more than 20,000 phoenix residents without power. this morning, hundreds are still in the dark. erica? >> boy, those pictures are incredible. priya, thanks. turning to what you were not told about the oil disaster earlier this year in the gulf, the world's worst off-shore oil spill. the revelation from a new report on that spill compiled by an independent panel. our senior white house correspondent bill plante joins us this morning with those details. bill, good horning. >> reporter: good morning, erica. the commission report alleges what a lot of people believed all along, that is that the government low-balled the estimates of the amount of oil that was escaping into the gulf. and, at the same time, blocked government scientists from disclosing the truth. the commission charges the federal government, quote, created the impression that it was either not fully competent to handle the spill or not fully candid with the american people about the scope of the problem.

besides faulting the administration for its early stilts, the panel singles out senior energy adviser carol browner for her public response to the unfolding disaster. >> i think we are getting some good news out of the gulf. >> reporter: on "the early show" in august she said a federal analysis showed most of the spill had already been taken care of. >> scientists are telling us the vast majority of the oil has been contained. almost three-quarters of the oil was actually captured, cleaned and skimmed. >> reporter: in fact the analysis actually showed the oil could still be there. the report also reveals in late april the white house denied a request from government leak's worst-case scenario. for more than a month after the deep ocean rig exploded government officials were telling the public the blown-out bp well was leaking 210 thousand early august actually was gushing 2.6 million gallons per

day, close to the worst-case estimates. the commission disputes it and says senior white house officials were, quote -- differences over the size of the spill did not keep the government with responding with everything it had and another government official says these differences were the result of modeling and assumptions that were made which were later corrected. this is a draft report. you may expect to see some changes when it's in its final form. erica? >> perhaps we will. thanks. in hungary today another disaster spill we are following a flood of toxic waste which has emergency crews scrambling to keep the sludge from spreading after it reached a branch of you were's second largest river the danube. the bright red sludge burst from a reservoir monday. you can see it there. it inundated three towns. today's hungary's prime minister said the worst-hit areas are so polluted, it doesn't make sense to rebuild.

turning to the war in afghanistan now entering its tenth year today. in kabul, afghan president hamid karzai hosting the first session of a new council charged with guiding peace efforts with the taliban. a spokesman says there have have been informal talks with taliban representatives but no formal peace negotiations. rescue crews in chile said they will practice tomorrow to pull the 33 trapped miners to safety. equipment arrived yesterday. the miners have been trapped half a mile underground for just over two months now. it was initially thought they might remain there until christmas. in sports, talk about a philadelphia story. authored in this case by their ace pitcher roy hall today day throwing only the second no-hitter in postseason baseball history striking out cincinnati reds in a 4-0 victory to open the national league playoff series. >> to be able to go out and have a game like that, you know, it's a dream come true. incidentally tomorrow is the

anniversary of only other postseason no-hitter don larson's perfect game in the 1956 world series. always a fine way to start the day, with baseball trivia. harry, over to you. >> thanks. to politics and the tea party's impact in this year's vote. a new cbs news poll shows that less than a month before the midterm elections, there's a lot of voter uncertainty about the tea party movement. cbs news correspondent ben tracy has more on the poll and the hottest battle ground for prospective tea party votes. >> i'm joe miller, the true conservative choice for the u.s. senate in alaska. >> reporter: joe miller may be the tea party's biggest success so far, knocking off the powerful incumbent lisa murkowski in alaska's republican primary. in a new poll, it shows most americans haven't made up their minds about the growing tea party movement. the rest are nearly evenly split in their views. >> they freak me out. i don't want any of them in charge. >> i we need to give more

control back to the states and to the individual communities. >> reporter: the tea party express has already spent $5 million, mostly on tv ads, trying to get its candidates elected, from delaware to nevada, all the way up to alaska. >> how liberal is lisa murkowski? >> reporter: their ads here blasted murkowski now running as a write-in candidate. >> what they did was they assassinated lisa mur cow skeeshgs i mean, politically. she never fought back. >> reporter: but, this race isn't just about the candidates. it's about who's supporting them, namely the tea party express and the mama grizzly herself, sarah palin. >> the tea party express joins -- >> reporter: her endorsement of miller helped win the primary but interestingly when asked to endorse has as a presidential candidate his answer was less than enthusiastic. >> -- of course, she's qualified. >> she hasn't won over the country, either. when asked if palin would make an effective president, only 22%

say yes. 64% no including nearly half of republicans. president obama is facing similar problems in the polls. 66% of americans view him as an average or poor president, while another 31% say his backing of a candidate running for office will actually be a detriment. the two biggest names in the respective parties may actually be something to avoid come election day. ben tracy, cbs news, anchorage, alaska. and joining us from st. louis, dana lesh, radio talk show host and blogger also an early an enthusiastic supporter of the tea party movement. dana, good morning. >> good morning to you. >> for our viewers who may not be familiar i'm going to describe something written about you a sweet midwest goth version of laura ingram. is that -- is that accurate? >> i would guess so. i'm probably a little bit more rock 'n roll, i guess, than regular conservative stereotypes. >> welcome to the broadcast. >> thank you.

>> let me start with this. let's talk about alaska for a couple seconds this joe miller versus the palins. is this so much noise or is this actually a fissure between the tea party candidate and the first family of the tea party? >> i think it's really -- it's just something typical you would see in any political cycle and i think it was kind of an odd question that was posed to joe miller because it's so incredibly early to start talking about 2012 candidates. it's early but, at the same time, it's not early to start speculating. joe miller i think was put into a difficult position because he was asked to essentially endorse a candidate that had not actually declared. so, it was a little bit of a weird place for him to be. but, i think his answer was fine. and i think sarah palin -- sarah palin, she did come out and endorse him. people know joe miller because she helped put him on the map. >> not exactly positive feedback. but i want it move on. this poll is so interesting. because, you find that while people are certainly aware of the tea party, the vast middle

in america is not exactly running toward it. they are certainly seem to be moving away from the president, but they're not running toward the tea party. they are still sitting on the fence. why do you think that is? >> i'm not quite sure. i've been watching a lot of polling data from the past year, especially focus on independents and moderates and they are deaf itly trending towards the right and several indicators i've looked at especially with the special elections that took place in virginia and in new jersey. virginia was a bellwether state. if you remember when barack obama took virginia in the general election david axelrod called it a bellwether state. it went blue. but then in the last election, special election, it went incredibly red because of all the independents, the same people who are really -- these people are going to be deciding mid-terms, the people who are trending gop. these are the exact same people who in a rasmussen poll said they more identify with the grass-roots movement than with the democrat congressional

agenda. so, they are definitely the voting bloc at play here. >> the middle is definitely fickle. last but not least, the thing i really want to focus in on is the tea party has had such a dramatic affect on these primaries. as it holds as much power as it does now, does the larger party, does the republican party as an entity, does it get what it's dealing with here? >> i think it does now. in the beginning, it was a weird sort of adversarial dance we watched between the grass-roots movement and the republican party. i think a lot of people in the gop have come around. i think newt gingrich came around because everyone remembers new york '23. that wasn't a battle of democrats versus republicans but of grass oats roots versus republican establishment. we all remember the he republican establishment did not win that particular race. i think after that looking at massachusetts, what we had were a series of flukes, christine o'donnell in delaware, sharon

angle winning, scott brown in massachusetts, virginia and new jersey. after a while these flukes add up to become a trend. and so now, i think the gop realizes what it's dealing with and realizes also it needs to get back to its base. >> dana, we will be watching with interest in weeks to come. thanks very much for being on the broadcast. >> thanks for having me. >> maggie. >> unemployment sure to be a big issue in voters next month a. new report says private employers cut another 39,000 jobs last month. economists expect the unemployment rate will go up in tomorrow's monthly jobs report. but, there's also some good news to report this morning. cbs news business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis is here with that. good morning. >> good morning. several reports out no predict the jobs number tomorrow will be uglier than everyone expects. should we brace ourselves for. >> that the jobs report that comes out tomorrow is obviously looking backwards at the months of september but the important thing to take away from it, again we're not creating enough jobs in this economy.

it's not the kind of recovery that anyone wants to see. right now the expectation is that unemployment will actually tick higher from 9.6% to 9.7%, as more people enter the workforce and try and find work but, also, as furp private employers create jobs. like you said in the introduction to this segment, they're not creating jobs, in fact, there are some jobs being lost and that is impacting the numbers, as well as the cen suz workers we continuously talk about whose temporary work ends month after month and takes away from the job number overall. >> but there are jobs to be had, all we have to do is look on line. we talked about this earlier this week and monster worldwide has its employment index showing a 1% increase in online job postings. just one percent but 16% from last year, consistently growing. >> exactly. that's the good news. what you want to do is look at future growth, surveys like this.

that portends positively for things to come, to an extent. >> to an extent there will be tons of job opportunities in the holidays and you are going to tell people exactly where they are to be found next hour. >> exactly. >> see you then. 7:15. we want to check with dave for our first look at the weather. good morning, dave. >> good morning to you, maggie. a lot going on. let's go to the maps right now in all three sections of the country divided into west, east, middle, fis, bismarck, north dakota, the area around the northern plains we'll see temperatures 10 to 20 degrees above average. nice, sunshiny skies, peaceful and calm but we are watching real trouble, were we saw from priya david's report earlier this morning from phoenix -- flagstaff, i should say, all of that violent weather is moving towards places like grand junction into the four corners area. you could see high gusts, 50 to 70 miles an hour in some locations, hail once again, small possibility of tornadoes but then again there was a small possibility of tornadoes yesterday and look what

happened. meanwhile as we take a look at the east we'll see gusty conditions as we see this combination of high pressure and a cold front move on through. that creates a pressure gradient. windy stuff, quarter inch to half inch of rain stretching into sections of >> that's a quick look at your weather picture. could see delays in places like salt lake city and into new england, where we'll see windy conditions. folks? >> thanks, dave. >> still ahead the latest on the search for david hartly

maggie. one week now since david and tiffany hartley were attacked while jet skiing on falcon lake. since then, tiffany and her husband's family have begged the mexican government for help that they're only now beginning to get. on wednesday, six days after her husband, david, was allegedly shot and killed by suspected mexican pirates on falcon lake, tiffany hartley returned to the water. this time, to place a wreath near the site of the shooting to say good-bye to her lost husband and to pray, with his family. >> we know he's out there somewhere and we just wanted to go ahead and -- leave the flowers where i had lost him. >> reporter: the tearful good-bye came even as a task force of mexican police and soldiers searched their side of the lake by boat and helicopter. a welcome sign after what the hartley family considers only half-hearted search efforts by mexican authorities so far. >> looking at maybe three miles

from here. >> reporter: the american sheriff investigating the shooting suspects his counterparts across the border are afraid of the heavily armed drug cartels that control the mexican side of the lake. >> this individuals possess machine guns, rpgs, shoulder-fired grenade launchers. we don't have that type of weapon rz. >> reporter: wednesday search which failed to find his body may have been prompted by increasingly political pressure on the government. >> we've made another plea today. >> reporter: asking him to personally intervene. >> president obama, their parents. >> hartley's mother says it is still not enough. >> please, negotiate this. we want david home. >> reporter: tiffany says only when her husband is found and returned will she and his family finally begin to heal. >> it's very emotional because i know he's out there and we just all want him back.

>> reporter: again, yesterday's search of the mexican side of falcon lake turned up no sign of david hartley or his jet ski but hartley's family members say they will not rest until he's found. maggie? >> cbs's don teeing in mcallen, texas, thank you. also in mcallen this morning tiffany hartley along with david's mom pam hartley. ladies, good morning. when we spoke a couple days ago, tiffany, you told me you believed the men who ambushed david and you had him. do you still feel that way and think he's alive? >> unfortunately, no, i don't think he's alive at this time. since we're already a week, almost, since he's been gone. i do believe that possibly they do have him and they're hiding him and if they would just give us back, you know, his body, then we can move on. >> as you know, mexican investigators had questioned your story. you and i talked about this a little bit. they said there was absolutely no evidence of a shooting.

is there any evidence, tiffany? does your jet ski have any damage to it? do you have any witnesses that can cob rate what you say. >> uh, as for damage on his jet ski, i don't know. my jet ski, i have no evidence, no, i have no bullet holes or anything. we do have a witness that had seen me racing away from the boat, or a boat. i don't know who he saw. but, yeah, we do have a witness, yes. >> and now we're seeing american police get more involved in the search on the american side. but, on the mexican side, mexican police are saying now that if they came across these pirates, they wouldn't stand a chance. they would be out-gunned. is that discouraging to you? do feel they might not be as likely to search because they're afraid? >> it is discouraging, yes. they need more manpower and they are asking for more people to come and help them. currently right now, we think they only have like 40 people or so. we don't really know for sure

how many. but, they are probably out-numbered. so, we do need -- they do need to get more people to help them, yes. >> pam, i would like to bring you in, because when we spoke last, you were begging for more help. you want the to see more people involved in the search, a better response. are you satisfied now with what's going on? >> no. david's not home, so we still need resources. we still need help. we need mexico and the united states to work together on this. it's like there's -- they're our neighbors. it's like neighbors help neighbors. and we need help. >> in the meantime, i know that you held a memorial service for david. pam, i can't even imagine, as his mother, how emotional that must have been for you. >> it -- there are no -- there are no words to describe the emotions we're going through

right now. >> tiffany, how would you describe them? >> right now, i think we're just kind of in a survival mode. we're just trying to survive and we're just trying to get through all this and, you know, being in the media and stuff, it's not easy. it's not easy to be kind of in a spotlight right now, especially when we're trying to grieve for david and trying to get him home and trying to plan all the services here and in colorado. we're just in survival mode. >> i'm sure it's difficult, but the more attention, the more we keep the spotlight on the story, the more likely they are to search for david, which is i know what you want. so, i hope that you get your answers. >> exactly. >> tiffany, pam, thank you so much, ladies.

how lucky he is to be alive. his head covered in bandages i.v. drip in tow with the scars of five surgeriess and a bear attack he recounted the tale few live to tell. >> it was just a horrendous fight. >> september 17th, he and his wife and 11-year-old daughter arrived at their mountain cabin at washington's lake wenatchee. he went to take the family dogs for a walk but he didn't get far before there was trouble -- big trouble. >> i heard the brush on the side of the road russell and the next thing i heard was the exhale of the bear. i just vividly remember being bitten on the head and the sound that that makes as her teeth were going into my head and running along the skull. >> a vicious attack, but his instincts told him to keep fighting, just to stay alive. >> i felt that if i went down on the ground and i got turned over on -- on my back and she had a

chance for go for either a neck or the abdomen that i was probably dead. so, what i wanted to do was stay up. >> miraculously, stay up is exactly what he did, until the bear just stopped. he struggled back to his driveway where lynn heard him yell for help and called 911. >> i'm dying! >> he said he's dying. >> okay. >> oh, god, his head is all bashed in. >> i knew that a lot of flesh had been torn off of me and i just wasn't sure how i was going to -- how i was going to make it. >> he was medevaced to seattle to harborview medical center where doctors had to reattach parts of his scalp and remove his badly damaged left eye. >> he has a wonderful spirit. he has a wonderfully supportive family. and we know those things are very, very important helping people overcome such tram tick

injuries. >> as for the bear, it was shot and killed by the department of fish & game. he faces several more surgeries including one scheduled for this morning. but he is understandably eager to get out of the hospital and return to his work. he's a city counselor in bellevue, washington. >> wow. the description, so graphic. >> it is so graphic, yeah. >> did he say there was like a key thing that was the key to his survival. >> deform he talked about how he wanted to stay, stay upright and off the ground and also talked about what he called about his one good shot he got in. he said one point he saw the bear lung for him and did what any man would do. he pulled up his knee, in came the bear and he just kneed that bear and the bear ended up hitting him in the chest. he has a wound, chest wound from that, that was his one good shot to the bear basically like in the bear's head. >> wow. up next, thanks very much, one of the great sports photos ever but how did the fan get the biggest reaction? a closer look at cigar man. when we come back.

day, at least. because there's nothing better than ruby red grapefruit amplts disclaimer on all crash diets they do work in the short term because they are very low calorie. in fact, potentially dangerously low calorie. >> oh. >> they are not sustainable. they can be dangerous for some people. so, we're just going to debunk some of the myths about them but really this is not the best way to lose weight in the long term. >> so, you are going to tell me i can't live on red grapefruit alone. >> no, you cannot. i'm sorry to break that to you. this diet has actually been popular since way back to the 1930s. the thinking magic enzyme in grapefruit that revved up your metabolism. that's not true. tall is a really low-calorie diet. medium protein, low car be -- >> all the fiber and stuff feels good. >> it's good for you. >> right? >> yes but no magic there. cabbage soup diet everyone has heard of this, basically unlimited volumes of cabbage

soup. towards the end of the week you can add protein, again about an 800 to 1200-calorie-a-day diet. that's how it works. but, this might not be very apttizing to some people and can give you some gas. >> well, the smell of the sulfur and cabbage, to kind of the cooking and then there are the residual effects, as you say. >> exactly. again, not that much sodium in there so it's effective but pot that nutritious. >> man cannot live on grapefruit. >> or cac badge. >> -- alone what's. this. >> juice or master cleanse, very popular with celebrities. you can actually get these delivered to your door for about three days, they can be about $60. again, for a short period of time, that's fine. but it is not sustainable. >> if you are looking to lose a couple pounds in a couple of days, this sort of works. >> any of these things can work but they are not that healthy in the long term. >> in the longer term. i was not aware. what is this one sthimplts this is a baby food diet. if you think chewing is really too much work when you are

trying to lose weight, people eat about 10 to 15 jars of baby food a day. they can have anywhere from 15 to 100 calories per jar and, again, it's calorie restriction. that's how it works but remember, adults are not babies, so the nutrients in here really not what an adult needs. i have a confession, harry, i actually like the fruit baby food. that's probably chicken. >> yeah. >> if you need to lose weight in the long term you've heard it here before, it's good habits. we want to encourage health from the inside out. you want to, obviously, be active and everyone knows what are the big offenders to avoid. >> right. thanks a lot. >> i'm going to have the baby food fruit. >> didn't know about that. >> dr. jennifer ashton appre appreciate it very much. for tips, all you need to do, go to our partner in health webmd.com and search "lose weight fast" up next. here come the brides. we are going to meet three sisters who are all going to say

from the time they are little girls most women dream about their wedding and few of us would want to share the spotlight that special day but this saturday three sisters from wisconsin will all be walking down the aisle together. a wedding day is a celebration of love and commitment shared with friends and, most importantly, family. but, the kunkle sisters of

wisconsin are taking that sharing to a whole new level. three of the four girls will be married on the same day in the same church in a triple wedding. their younger sister, grace, will serve as maid of honor for all. >> and we love each other. >> it all started in july 2009 when helen got engaged to mike, a naval officer stationed in san diego. a week later, her sister claire was proposed to by sam, whom she met on a blind date. and just a week after that, katie and nick who were best friends throughout college also got engaged. it was katie who jokingly at first suggested the three should share their wedding day. when they ran the idea by mom, she was shongd. >> i've been told i went white

as a sheet and sort of didn't respond for about half an hour. >> this is our master guest list. >> the triple wedding has a guest list of 400 and required more than a year of intensive planning. but these sisters wouldn't have their special day any other way. >> some people might think, wow, it's really crazy sharing a wedding day with sisters. but, they really are my best friends. >> and just days before their wedding they all took a trip to new york to join us, katie and nick, claire and sam, helen and mike. the brides and the grooms. good morning. >> morning. >> katy, you thought of this idea. do you still think, after all the trouble it's been, it was a great idea? >> absolutely, because i didn't have to do any planning. >> who did the planning? >> helen. >> helen. helen, helen. how did you plan? i mean i remember planning my wedding. i couldn't decide on a theme or

colors or the song or seating chart for one couple. how did you do it for three? >> well, i'm -- i've been one of those girls who have been thinking of their wedding their whole lives so it really wasn't that hard for me. i kind of knew that mike and i were going to be getting engaged sort of preparing myself so the wheels were already turning and i already had everything picked out for myself. >> did they agree on everything that you wanted? >> yeah i have great taste. >> we agreed early on helen would make all the decisions and if she cared about it she should ask or needed to do anything she could tell us what to do but, otherwise, we don't know. >> okay. you don't know, so you'll be surprised. >> yeah, because we don't care and if she told me i'd probably start offering my opinion and i don't care. >> that's a great plan, a good plan. claire, let's try to envision. this the oldest sister walks in first with mom and dad and the oldest sister's procession will follow. >> yes. >> mom and dad will race back to walk the next oldest, the next

sister with the next procession and so on. >> uh-huh. >> you are going to play that wedding march playing for long. >> three separate ones, a bit different but all kind of flow into one another. >> there are different variations. >> then three priests, each with a separate homley? >> uh-huh. >> oh, boy, a long wedding. are you serving coffee to the guests as they go in. be prepared. it will be a long wedding. >> we've tried to shorten it as much as possible so everyone is comfortable. >> at the reception, three separate songs. >> not so long. >> two to three minutes as opposed to a full four-minute song or something like that. >> the ceremony will be so long you've got to cut down. >> right. >> let's talk about each individual couple katy and nick first of all have a great story how you met, right? you were best friends in college and lost touch, had other relationships and reconnected years later. when she tells you, nick, she wants to share her wedding day, we can understand why she would

with her sisters, but do you want to share? >> well, i was mostly concerned about what she wanted and making sure that this was going to be her day and the kunkle family from that short promo and everything else here, it is easy to see they really are this close and want to share that. and your family is happy about this, too? >> yeah, they are. >> that's wonderful. let's go to claire and sam. you guys met at a wedding, correct? >> uh-huh. >> are you taking classes? i heard you are taking classes, dance classes for the reception. >> yes, we are. we took our first dance lesson tuesday night. it was quite a shock but we had a lot of fun, actually. he's a great dancer. >> are you ready for this? >> am i ready for this? oh, yes, totally. i'm really excited, fired up. >> are you a little scared? >> well, yeah but, you know, i feel a little anxious, yeah, about -- >> what do you worry about? >> um, i don't know what i'm really worried -- just. >> -- pre-wedding jitters.

>> he wants to make sure his bow tie is straight. >> i'm sure helen will make sure of that. >> yes. >> don't worry about it. she's got it covered. >> right. >> helen and mike, you guys are watching a reality show in 2004 and you see a cute pilot on tv. and you remember him. three months later, you meet that pilot? >> yeah. it's so funny, i just happened to see an episode on tv and then about three months later i was at my best friend's house and i see his face and i'm like i have seen him somewhere before and it's killing me and thinking so hard i asked my friend has he been on tv and she was like, yeah, he has been. >> the guy you saw. >> i was freaking out, like i need to know you. >> you went over and told mike i saw you on tv. was it love at first sight for you. >> for me, it -- kind of, sorta. i -- i, you know, i saw her and i started, you know, to get interested a little bit and, you know, definitely when she came

down she was like i saw on tv and your mom made me cry and all that stuff it definitely was like, yeah, i need to pursue. >> this i took him to prom a week later. >> kind of seems all this was meant to be. one final question. is bad paying for this sthimplts oh, yes. >> yes. >> poor tom. poor tom kunkle. >> we are saving him a little bit of money. >> you know what, we are in love with you guys and we wish you the best. we'll be at the wedding. thanks for the invitation. we will show all the viewers how the crazy kunkles' wedding day goes. hopefully all goes well. thank you for being here. >> thank you. >> you're i'm bob ehrlich. i'm not the kind of guy

[ cheering ] >> and everybody here, as well, from all over the industry. let's take a check of the weather and see what's happening across the country. you can see it has begun to rain here in new york, still seeing remnants of showers pushing through sections of the northeast. meantime the violent weather we saw yesterday in arizona, well strong stuff still rolling through the four corners through grand junction, could see windy conditions, hail, slight possibility of tornadoes. we'll keep an eye on it. rain stretches all the way to sections of northern nevada, oregon, washington, and idaho, montana, too, may see a little. that's a quick look at

those individuals, in particular, to get back on that horse, to start working again. that 650,000 number is above where we are last year. last year the economy added about 501,000 temporary jobs this time of year. because, in part, of that but also because they were adding temporary jobs. of course, it tends to be the time where retailers hire, the time retailers make money. >> need more money. >> 3% of their sales come from this time of year. this is when the opportunities are to get them. >> what retailers specifically are looking for people? >> i want to make this clear. all retailers this time of year are looking for people, but some of the big names to watch out for, ups, adding 50,000 drivers in the next couple of months here with package handlers, toys r us is doubling their workforce. 45,000 new people. a lot of those folks will be looking at pop-up stores, the new stores and kohl's yesterday announcing 40,000 new-hires for

the holiday season. 35 ploy he yees for every single one of their more than thousand stores. also best buy 29,000 employees added there. the number one electronics retailer, trying to sell flat-screens. if you get a job at best buy, you will probably be pushing flat-screens. >> there you go. are these the types of jobs that pay pretty well or low-paying jobs? >> well, it's a mixture. for the most part, you are not going to get rich with these jobs, you will get about $8 to $12 per hour for the less experienced positions. for the more experienced positions, you could makes a much as 25 to 40. but, the important thing is what you do with the job when you have it. you want to make a great impression. like i said, so many millions of people have been out of work for so long in this country, if you can get a job at this point in the year, it just increases your chance of getting a job and having something longer term on your resume. >> shouldn't you, in fact, go out looking for a permanent job while employed. aren't you mo attractive as a can dit. >> you are, when you are

employed. one of the first things you want to do when you land that seasonal work, send your resume out elsewhere for long-term work and also a number of these seasonal employers are looking for talent for the rest of the year. i talked to up syed, great story from the individual i spoke to there. he's been working at the company for 32 years. he started out at 17 years old as an ploy we could who worked over the christmas holiday. two weeks after his temporary work came to an end they called him up and said, come on board we want you as a long-term employ employee. that's what you want to try to do with tease opportunities. >> do you think this is a chance it will make any dent in the unemployment rate? >> the reality is probably slim. it may move the unemployment rate temporarily but the important thing what it will do in terms of allowing consumers to feel a bit better and for those people looking for relief for a long time, maggie, it will make obviously an impact in their own lives. >> especially during the holidays when they want to be able to buy gifts for i their families.

>> exactly. it give them something hopefully more to celebrate this year. >> thank you so much. we'll look for the unemployment numbers tomorrow. i'm sure you'll be back with that. thanks. >> thank you. >> harry? in a film career spanning more than three decades diane lane starred in such diverse films as "the perfect storm" under the tuscan sun" and "unfaithful" now back on the big screen as a housewife who realizes the racehorse she owns will be the greatest there ever was in "secretariat." >> you are guaranteeing this horse is going to win the triple crown, the derby, preakness and belmont, three raedz, three states in just five weeks. hasn't been done in 25 years. >> that is exactly what i'm saying. >> you're that stubborn? >> i'm that right. >> good line, diane lane is with us this morning. good morning. great seeing you in the movie.

>> thank you for having me. >> you've played real people before, right? >> true. >> right? but had you ever played someone you've met? >> well, spending time with the person you're representing on screen is -- it's surreal, for both parties. >> sure. >> but, i have to admit that, first of all, you know, penny is and historic figure for a reason. she is a great lady. and i've come out of this with a friend. we never foresaw any of this. >> how great. >> it's lovely. >> it is an extraordinary story, the family has a stable down in virginia. the patriarch of the family falls ill. and she ends up sort of having to carry the ball for the family. >> you know, honestly, if disney could have written this story for the screen, they would have. >> they would have written it exactly -- >> the story is just off the charts, magical for everybody. i think that this has been trying to get to the screen for decades.

and i'm grateful it took this long so i could be the one to standing next to and pretend i'm standing next to secretariat in his glory. >> are you a horse person? >> you know, i am but i don't know my jargon, my far left, this, that and the other. >> there are a lot of scenes you are kind of nose to those with this horse who plays -- >> absolutely. >> one horse or a lot of horses? >> we had five to cover all the ground that was asked of these horses in the time we were filming but there were two that i really spent nuzzle time with and it was great. i loved them. >> there's an important relationship between you and this horse. >> well, that's true. >> this horse inspires you to basically say to your family and to your husband, this is the work i was meant to do, was to do this work. and the time this is happening, in the early 1970s, women weren't really doing that. >> well, as a mother, i think it served her to trust herself and

her gut about what it takes to call forth the greatness of another family member. and she was born into the horse-breeding industry and she grew up with that. and people wanted to forget, i think, and it was a really no vel media way of packaging her to say, you're a housewife, you have no business being here. maybe her hair-do distracted everybody. her hair was enough, you know, to live up to that. >> what was that like? the look of the film is really having -- i graduated from college in 1973. i know it looked like back then. and it is very -- it is absolutely authentic. >> thank you. i -- you know, teams of professionals make sure of all. >> that sometimes it's like when you go on location or something like that, when you pult on that, it's almost like having a costume. >> the costume designer who worked from just my character, julie weiss, she's amazing a stickler for authenticity. i don't know. i think we are single handedly going to bring back -- we've

covered the '70s from what do they call the riff-raff and those kids today. you know, but the establishment and the way jackie bouvier dressed before she became jackie kennedy, jackie o., before that transition for women. >> you said one of the hardest lines for you to deliver in the movie the family in this dispute because your husband is clearly conservative, the kids are involved in a protest movement. i mean, it is sort of really real-life american family in the early '70s. you try to sort of stop things by saying, does anyone like pie. >> would anyone like pie? that's how it was. you can't actually go down the path arguing with your children about politics with the father in the middle of it all. there is a skill set being the peacekeeper in the family while you acknowledge everybody's point of view. >> the thing most interesting about this, here is this horse, phenomenal horse that brings all

the generations together because everybody loves secretariat. >> i think everybody stopped on its axis, stopped for a moment and dropped their negativism and cynicism. this film, if anything is anti-cynical, a breath of fresh air. >> there you go. great to see you congratulations. >> thank you. >> thanks for coming. >> nice to be back. thanks for having me. >> here's erica and cody as furry friends. october is adopt a shelter dog months. our correspondent dr. debbye turner bell is here to help us find the perfect pet for our families. good to have you with us this morning. >> good morning. >> you have friends that need a home. >> let me introduce them to you, over on your left rocky a poodle mix, two years old, i believe. is that right? cody right here a pomeranian, pure-bread, you can get pure-reds at shelters. i have mr. flops, the ear gifls it away, ten years old really needs a home, as well as nick,

the boxer mix who is five months old a puppy. we have a wide variety of dogs here, as you will find, at your local shelter. >> i love you brought this up a point makes people say i need a pure-breed sometimes you do there is a rescue group or you can find one at a shelter. how do you know you are at reputable or good shelter when you ready to find a pet. >> before i answer this, let me say this every animal at a shelter no matter its condition need a home. however you have a better result if you go to a shelter that really pays attention what they are doing and knows what they are doing. you want to look for a shelter that is clean and the people are friendly and knowledgeable. they are going to ask you more questions, almost, than you will ask them. you -- also it's good to find a shelter, if you can with a staff veterinarian or at least a veterinarian there on a regular basis in a staff behaviorist, all the better. 60% of animals that end up in shelters, most cases end up there because of behavior problems. it is great if they have a behavist that can temper test

the animals and properly place them with the right family. >> you can understand, too, what that behavioral issue was. let's start off when you go in, all these things you need to know. the questions we need to ask when we found a pet you love. >> you need to do your homework and know the background of the dog. sometimes dogs end up shelters and don't know their background but sometimes they do. you want to know where the dog came from, how long they've been in shelter, their living situation before they got there and ask about the medical history of this dog. does the dog have a chronic disease, diabetes, heart disease, something ongoing you need to be prepared for. >> do you need to worry about medication. >> you need to worry about medication and make sure the dog is vaccinated, dewormed, spayed and new turred and ask about the behavior of the dog since at the shelter, outgoing or friendly with other dogs or act fearful and hide in the back of the cage and ask the shelter for their follow-up services. do they offer behavior training classes? will they do consultations if you run into something in the

future and finally you want to ask the shelter about their return policy. many good shelters do have a return policy because they want that dog to be in a good home and they don't want to end up abandoned. for instance, the humane society of new york, who graciously brought all these dogs, will take the dog back if it doesn't work out. in fact, mr. flops here was adopted out ten years ago. the family was not able to care for him now in their present situation. the humane society took them back. you want to know about that. >> mr. flops we'll find you another good home. i wish i had room for another dog. what should you do when you go in, be prepared for in terms of questions they will ask and documentation you may need to have. you ngt just necessarily walk out the door with a dauk. >> these days you almost need your blood type and fingerprints. it is an extensive process. they will ask burr living conditions and make sure you can financially handle the animal, they swl for references and a good shelter will check them and

ask you a lot of questions about your expectations, who else lives there, do you have small kids or older kids. >> plans for taking care of the dog. >> that's correct. >> you can expect some shelters to do a home visit. do you have a fenced-in yard so the animal has a place to run. expect to have an adoption fee, usually covers the cost the shelter had to incur to take in the animal and care for them. this can be anywhere from $50 to $150 or more. >> some of that cost, though, correct me if i'm wrong, sometimes it will include your spaying or nurturing, also something shelters and rescue groups are doing to help keep the pet population down. >> that is absolutely right. a good shelter, you bring up a good point will have spayed or neutered the animal in case they are too young, in many cases they make preparations with you to bring them back when it's time. >> when we adopted our dog at three and a half months they did that with us. they also made us sign a form

whether or not we had any intention of big life changes, i than hadn't thought, about will you move, have a child, get married. that all impacts your pet. >> there are 8 to 12 million homeless pets here in the united states, half of them, think about that, four million, five million are euthanized every year because there are not enough good homes. shelters don't want to see these animals abandoned again and are going to go to great lengths to make sure you have as the prospective pet owner knows what they are getting into. also some shelters will follow-ups and call you a month or two later and say how is it going, how are things, can we help you anyway, another hallmark of a great shelter. >> and the great pet parent, what's the most important thing we can do when we bring the dog home. >> most important, prepare for what you are actually getting and do your homework. of course you want to match the dog to your family and lifestyle make sure you have the right dog and breed. more than anything make sure you are prepared for the commitment so it is a lifetime, happy,

forever home. >> because they are sweet, sweet little souls who need a lot of love. >> that's right. >> great to have you there and so nice to have all our friends, as well, who need a home. if you interested in adopting any of these dogs again they are right now at the humane society of new york log onto our website and you will find all the information you need right there to bring one of these friends home for you or perhaps another one in your area. >> that's right. >> stay with us. we'll be right back. you are watching "the early show" on cbs.
