street. >> being treated in a hospital after being plucked to safety from a shark infested waters off the coast of western australia. >> all that -- >> who would you choose if you were mitt romney as your vp? >> edwin bell. >> are you muslim? >> yes, sir. >> do you have siblings? >> yes, sir. >> you are literally a muslim brother. successful mars rover is sending back never before seen color pictures of the red planet. >> on "cbs this morning." >> scientists are saying that mars resembles california. both have little water, large mountains and the possibility of hidden aliens. mountains and the possibility of hidden aliens. yeah. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." charlie rose is off today. the united states is finishing the summer olympics on a hot streak. the u.s. men had another solid night thursday in track and field. while the women took home gold

in soccer, water polo and boxing. >> this morning, the united states has taken over the lead in gold medals from china. the americans also have more total medals than any other nation. china is second, followed by russia, britain and germany. bigad shaban is covering the olympics in london. bigad, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gayle and jeff. one of the newly awarded medals to the u.s. comes with a bit of a back story, perhaps more than most. some people are calling it payback. >> got it. revenge seemed just as sweet a year later for the u.s. women's soccer team. >> oh, i say! >> their 2-1 victory in the olympics was a welcome reverse of last year's world cup when the women lost to japan. hope solo was behind several saves for the team including one in the final minutes of the match. >> i have to be patient as a goalkeeper, let the game come to me. >> on the track, usain bolt

sprinted his way to gold in just over 19 seconds. it's his second victory this olympics, making him the first double sprint champ wrong in back-to-back games. the plan known as the blade runner is getting a second chance. oscar pistorius was never passed the baton in 4x400 relay because -- south africa appealed and advances to the finals. >> the united states wins the gold. >> team usa captured silver and gold for the men's decathlon. ashton eaton's lead secured his win even before the last event began. >> we're the strongest in the world. no one can touch us much it's an amazing feeling. >> it's america's women scoring the most wins. nearly 60% of team usa's medals. michigan native collar he is a shields added to the count. the middleweight boxer struck gold at just 17. this is the first time female boxing has been allowed at the olympics. >> this is my gold medal. i earned it. >> how does that feel around your neck right now?

>> it's heavy but i'm not ever going to take it off. >> it's gold and the last minute of play. >> another victory for the women, usa's water polo team grabbed gold away from spain. >> it's time for the coaches to go in. >> the coaches join the celebration in the pool. >> now, the women's volleyball team has a chance to serve up yet another gold. jeff and gayle, they defeated south korea 3-0 in the semifinals. >> bigad, thank you very much. the american women are on track to win more medals than in beijing four years ago. not only have they done better than the u.s. men, they've won twice as many gold medals. sports columnist sally jenkins is in london covering the games. she saw the u.s. women's soccer team win the gold. sally, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's go to a bigger breakdown of the medal count. the total medals by u.s. athletes. men have 38. women have 51 at this point. take a look at the gold medals.

women, u.s. women have 26 gold medals and men 13. twice as many. how unexpected is that, sally? >> well, it's not entirely unexpected. there were more women on the u.s. team coming in to london. we knew there was a little bit of disproportion. i don't think anybody expected them to win two thirds of our medals. >> can we talk about soccer for just a moment. i know you were there. that was obviously a thrilling match. obviously some revenge for the u.s. women. where does this victory rank for them? >> this was a team that was really searching for its own identity. they were struggling to emerge from the shadow of their predecessors. and i think they finally did that last night. they had gotten a lot of acclaim but their a chiechlts hadn't lived up to their publicity. last night they fulfilled every expectation and exceeded it. hope solo is one of the great, great stars of women's soccer now. she's one of the great goal keepers in history.

she was towering last night. i think they had been looking for that and they gained it for themselves last night. >> it sure has been fun, sally, watching the women do so well. does it say anything about the state of women's sports sm. >> it says that title 9 is paying off. 1976 was the first time we had women's basketball at the olympics. we didn't have a women's marathon until 1984. what you're seeing is, i think, a wave breaking. the wave has been building for a couple of decades. the performances are starting to pay off. a lot of the investment in women's sports at our universities around the country are really paying off, particularly in team sports. >> and usain bolt says he's the greatest runner of all-time. very confident young man. is he? >> he's the greatest sprinter of all-time. i'm not sure someone who ran for 40 seconds in the olympics is the greatest athlete in the games. he's the most wonderful sprinter. that's indisputable.

you have to give jim thorpe or jesse owens, the credit for greatest olympian ever. >> usain bolt is 25 years old. so he's got potentially at least one more olympics left in him. >> well, he does. it would be interesting to see him explore other distances, too. the funny thing about bolt is he's just getting fast when he hits the finish line and he usually eases up. we don't really know what he's capable of. i would like to see him, now that he has his double golds in the 100 and 200, maybe he'll try another distance. >> what's your take on how london did as a host city? there was a little bit of a controversy coming in, about whether they were ready or not ready. what do you think? >> it's been marvelous. everything has gone off without a hitch. the trains have been everything that they promised. there hasn't bp a significant problem as you move around the olympic park or around london. the greatest thing of all is that the olympics are taking place in downtown london. i mean the backdrops are spectacular. the horse guards parade,

buckingham palace. having competitors run and swim through hyde park. i've never seen an olympics that was so centralized. i'm not sure we thought it was possible to have an olympic games really in the heart of the city. but that's what london has done. they've done it efficiently and safely. >> sally jenkins, always good to see you. thank you very much. >> thank you. we have breaking news from afghanistan had morning. it has been a bloody 24 hours for american troops. as kitty logan reports from kabul, three americans were shot to death this morning in southern afghanistan by a man wearing an afghan army uniform. >> a u.s. military spokesperson american soldiers were killed in this incident and that the perpetrators wore an afghan uniform. they have yet to establish if the attacker was a member of afghan security forces or simply a rogue individual. local sources in the area told us that the perpetrator was a local police commander. he was taking part in the

program along with u.s. forces in the area. he invited them to a meeting and then he opened fire, killing three of them. now the taliban issued a statement claiming responsibility for in particular attack saying that the police commander concerned has actually now joined their ranks. i must stress the facts are unclear. but whatever the truth in it, it's a worrying development for the international forces here. this could be the 24th incident of such nature this year and it comes at a time when international forces here are preparing a transition process to hand over to afghan forces. they need this country to be stable. they need good relations with afghan forces in the area and across the country as they prepare for u.s. troops to withdraw towards the end of 2014. for "cbs this morning," kitty logan, kabul. thank you, kitty. the presidential race, negative ads are getting new attention this morning. the campaigns and political super pacs are flooding the airwaves and critics on both sides do not back up the

charges. nancy cordes is at the white house to show us why it's getting so nasty on tv. nancy, good morning to you. >> gayle, it sure is nasty. the claims in some of these ads are so dubious that some leaders in both parties are getting a little uncomfortable. even the president and governor romney condemned some of the ads, at least the ads coming from the other side. >> when mitt romney and bain closed the plant. i lost my health care. >> republicans and even some democrats call this ad a new low. it suggests that this missouri's steelworker's wife died of cancer because he lost his insurance after bain capital shuttered his plant. >> there was nothing they could do for her. he she passed away in 22 days. i don't think mitt romney realized what he's done to anyone. >> priorities usa action, a top outside group supporting the president. what it failed to mention is that joe soptic's wife died five years after he lost his job and

had her own insurance for part of that time. >> the various fact checkers look at some of the charges in the obama adds and they say they're wrong. >> what romney didn't say that fact checkers also panned his latest ad about the president's welfare policy. >> under obamas plan you wouldn't have to work and train for a job. >> other romney ads have taken from obama's words out of context on issues ranging from small business to the weak economy. >> if we keep talking about the economy, we're -- >> president obama has been telling his supporters to tune out the other side. >> basically, they have one ad. it's just a variation on the same ad, which is economy is not where it should be and it's obama's fault. >> negative ads have been a h l hallmark of presidential -- >> allowed murderers to have weekend passes. >> polls show they work.

conservative strategist frank luntz who conducted fox us groups on the effectiveness of political ads says the latest batch is different. >> it's one thing to be negative and another to deem niez your opponent. >> here's the reason why. >> some of the ads are designed to get the base engaged and involved. in the end. the undecided vote is so small that the goal is turn out. >> it's so small, in fact, that some polls so that the level of undecides in the electorate is smaller than 5%. that's why the two sides are working so hard to turn out their base. keep this in mind, gayle and jeff. we're looking at an election where more than a billion dollars could be spent on ads and so we're starting to see groups trying to go a little too far just to try to stand out from the clutter. >> a billion dollar election. nancy cordes, thank you. >> in syria this morning, government troops are advancing on rebel positions in the battle for syria's largest city. tens of thousands have fled the

fighting if aleppo crossing the border into turkey. holly williams is across the border. >> battling for control of aleppo, syria's biggest city. the picture of what's happening is confused but the government sources seem to be gaining the upper hand. >> aleppo's salaheddin district had been an opposition stronghold but now it's driven rebels out of their positions and taken full control. the rebels say it's a tactical retreat. as they stop to bury their dead, there are reports that they're rubbing out of am.mmmunitionamm >> it used to be the bustling commercial hub, now it's a war zone. these men fled from aleppo to turkey crossing the border at night to avoid the fighting. they were still too frightened of retribution to show their faces.

the regime is fighting like a coward this man told us. they attack us with tanks and warplanes but they don't dare to fight on the ground. the u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon believes that syria now faces the prospect of a long-term civil conflict. he said it's a war in which there will be no winners. for "cbs this morning," holly williams on the turkey/syria border. goldman sachs is off the hook after a two-year investigation. in 2010, a senate committee found that the wall street giant sold complicated securities to investors at the same time it was betting those securities would lose their value. one senator described the offer in very strong terms. >> how much of that did you sell to your clients after june 22, 2007? >> mr. chairman, i don't know the answer to that. but the price would have reflected levels that they wanted to invest. but they don't -- you didn't tell them you thought it was

a -- >> i didn't say that. >> who did? your people internally: you knew it was a [ bleep ] deal. that's what your e-mail shows. >> last night the justice department said it's not filing any criminal charges against goldman sachs or its employees. rebecca jarvis is with us now to bring us up to date. what's going on in. >> it's actually what the department of justice is saying here, gayle. they couldn't meet the burden of proof. they could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that goldman sachs was guilty of these on a criminal basis guilty of these accusations. on the s.e.c., they have actually settled the case, goldman sachs has with the s.e.c. for $550 million related to this. but they have said they will not admit any wrongdoing here. >> so four years now after the financial meltdown, not one bank and not one bank ceo has been prosecuted for fraud in any way? does that change?

>> nobody thinks that it will at this point. a lot of people -- this is the question, really. it's been asked now multiple times over. steve kroft asked it on "60 minutes" about a year ago. i have been asking it of every single source of mine since the financial meltdown. are we going to see somebody at one of these major banks actually face any criminal or even s.e.c. issues around this -- around the financial meltdown. we have yet to see anything go that way. as a result, many people have become disillusioned in what's takes place in our markets. >> and continue to be. >> rebecca, thank you very much. the man accused of killing 12 people at a colorado movie theater say he is mentally ill. james holmes returned to court on thursday. his attorneys say they need more time and information to figure out just how sick he is. they also say holmes tried to get help before he allegedly carried out that massacre in aurora last month. it's time to show you some of the other headlines this

morning. the new york daily news as the first high resolution pictures of the surface of mars taken by nasa's curiosity rover. the latest pictures show the pebly surface of the crater where curiosity landed. >> nice to see in, not just black and white. >> starting monday, more than 850,000 californians will get a bill of $150 or more to help cover firefighting costs. opponents say that violates the state constitution and 90% of the people already pay local taxes for fire services. "the new york times" is reporting this morning that the u.s. postal service lost $5.2 billion in the last quarter. that's up from $3.1 billion for the same quarter in 2011. postal services blame the cost of future retiree benefits. they skipped a payment to cover some of the costs. the wall street journal says google will pay $22.5 million for violating customers'

privacy. it's the largest penalty assessed by the federal trade commission. they accuse them of secretly by passing the privacy this national weather report sponsored by walmart. save money. live better.

a new forecast predicts more hurricanes than we first expected. the government's top hurricane scientist says you can count on that. >> they've always been very good. in the last four years they've been move more confident >> the technology helping forecasters predict those big storms. if you're looking for a good used car, maybe it's time to stop. new cars are now a better deal in many cases. we'll show you four examples of that on "cbs this morning."

somebody may want to help this guy. the sharks nero owe multiple sharks near him. spotted floating in the water off the coast of western australia this morning surrounded by them. he had reportedly been treading water for 20 hours after his boat sank. finally a rescue boat came in, pulled him to safety. just in the nick of time. can you imagine? >> he's okay. >> can you imagine? >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." might need a pair of depends for that moment. remains of tropical storm ernesto are dumping heavy rain on southern mexico this morning. on thursday, government forecasters say they now expect five to eight hurricanes this year, including two or three major ones with winds more than 110 miles an hour. chip reid following the changing forecast for us.

chip, good morning to you. >> good morning, gayle and jeff. you know, the national oceanic, atmospheric administration affectionately known as noaa has been predicting hurricane seasons for 14 years now. they come out with a forecast in may and update it in august. over the years, their accuracy has had some highs and some lows. as far as hurricane seasons go, 2005 was devastating. >> about five feet of water everywhere we look. >> in late august, hurricane katrina destroyed much of new orleans. a month later, rita hit texas and again louisiana. they were just two of five major hurricanes that came ashore that year killing nearly 4,000 people and causing $200 billion worth of damage. it was also a year that forecasters at the national oceanic and atmospheric administration got it wrong. in may of 2005, noaa predicted as many asinine hurricanes.

when the season was over, the number was 15. they underestimated the next two years as well. some claimed a chimp could do a better job. >> what's your prediction? >> since 2008, noaa has been on a roll with the number of hurricanes falling within its estimated range. >> they've always been very good. in the last four years, they've been more confident. >> noaa's lead hurricane scientist jerry bell credits improved technology. >> they tell us so much, allowing us to better pre dick the ocean temperatures, the wind patterns near africa months in advance. we never had that capability even several years ago. >> just as important knowing how many are hitting is where they're headed. much of that is done at the federal government's national hurricane center in miami. but the private sector is playing a role too. dozens of firms are researching better hurricane prediction

models. >> we know the science is only advanced so far at this stage. >> stephen bennett runs a san diego company focused on preparing for extreme weather events like heat waves, cold snaps and hurricanes. he sees a commercial advantage to accurate and timely weather data. >> as a scientific community, we're really trying to do two things. the first is make hurricane track forecasts and intensity forecasts better. just making the forecasts better. the second thing that we're trying to do is communicate risks in a better fashion. >> it's estimated there are about 100 private companies in the u.s. doing storm forecasting. clients are energy companies, farpers. stephen bennett is a meteorologist and a lawyer. how is that for a career combo. by the way, dr. han simeon the chimp, retired from forecasting and went back to working on his ph.d. in astrophysics. true story. >> good to hear, chip. thank you very much.

we'll turn now to the experts. david bernard, chief meteorologist at our miami station, cbs 4. no chimps employed there. david, what does this latest forecast mean for the u.s. coastline this season? >> well, there's some great points that were made in chip's piece. what we have to remember about the hurricane forecasts is it's a science forecast. it doesn't tell any of us what our personal risk is. each hurricane season along the coast. it's not going to tell us exactly where these storms are going to go. i have a couple of pretty dramatic examples here that i can show you. 2010 tied for the second most number of hurricanes on record. there were 12 and we did not have one landfall in the united states. if compare that with 1992, there were only four hurricanes that season. but one of them, boy, we remember that in south florida. hurricane andrew. it was a category 5. one. most devastating storms ever to strike the united states. >> david, once we do know that the storm is actually coming, what does it mean for your

people? by your people, i mean your forecasting people. and the residents that live along the coast. >> the good thing about our increase in forecasting technology is that the track forecast has gotten a lot better. this is one of the best examples i've seen over the last couple of years. this is hurricane isabel in 2003. it was a category 5 at this point near the caribbean. look at the five-day cone. it went from orlando to new york inland to virginia. that storm was in that same spot today, the cone would be 50% smaller. it would be focused on a much smaller area giving us a much better idea of where that storm might go and who it might affect. >> david bernard, thank you. >> used car business not what it used to be. this morning, we'll show you why a new set of wheels may actually be a better deal for you. >> right now in london, you can see more olympians in the clubs. there you go. than in competition.

>> every athlete, they train so hard. then they just want to let loose because it's over. >> yes. i think that's what ryan lochte is doing right now. we'll see what happens when the world's top athletes get just a little crazy. stay with us. you're watching "cbs this morning." it's friday. i've worked hard to build my family. and also to build my career. so i'm not about to always let my frequent bladder urges, or the worry my pipes might leak get in the way of my busy lifestyle. that's why i take care, with vesicare. once-daily vesicare can help control your bladder muscle and is proven to treat overactive bladder with symptoms of frequent urges and leaks day and night. if you have certain stomach or glaucoma problems, or trouble emptying your bladder, do not take vesicare. vesicare may cause allergic reactions that may be serious. if you experience swelling of the face, lips,

>> no, sir. i'm sorry. i can't do it. >> keith, i'm very excited. thank you. we're going to be a great team. >> no, sir. >> that's great. thanks, keith. i'll see you tomorrow. >> smart shoppers will tell you that a used car is a better value than a new one. but right now, according to a leading authority on car price, a new car may be the thing to buy. >> how can that possibly be true? let's check it out with jack otter, executive editor of "moneywatch".com. he's the author of the book, worth it, not worth it, simple and profitable answers to life's tough financial questions. good morning, jack otter. >> good morning. great to be with you. >> if it sounds too good to be true, stay away. how could this possibly be? >> because there are a few things that trump that. the one that does supply and demand. during the session, for obvious reasons, no one is buying cars. in 2009, we only sold about 10.5

million cars in this country versus 16 million in the years leading up to that. three years later, all these cars would be coming off lease but they're not there. the few that are there command a higher price. as a result, the difference between the new car and the slightly used one is very small. on top of that, you add financing. with a new car you get a better deal on financing than a used car. that's riskier for the bank. you pay more. when it comes down to the actual monthly payment, the difference is negligent liblnegligible. >> some examples, the subaru i am prez a. >> that's about $17,450 new. that's the real price in a dealership. for about $150 less is the used car. so when you look at the deal that subaru offers on the financing, you're only talking 76 cents difference per month. >> the american classic. the camaro. >> that one you have to shell out about $1.72 more per month.

there's only about $120 difference between the new and the lightly used. >> another one. gayle pay attention. owe o. >> popular car. >> the demand is so high that once you look at the monthly payment, you're talking $1.72 the. >> the volkswagen golf. >> that's actually my favorite carve this bunch. it's a diesel. >> why? >> they get great mileage. the germans have done great work with the diesels. they get 50 miles per gallon on the highway, but you don't feel like you're driving, no offense, a prius. there's get up and go. >> there's diesel stations these days. they had in the gps, all the diesel outlets are listed. >> anyway, you will have to shell out for the golf. sit down. $7 more per month to buy a new car than a used one. >> it is your favorite one of the bunch as you pointed out. >> these are all 2011 models.

does it hold true for other models as well. >> it does, but not as much. you won't buy the 2009 that costs as much as the same model new. again, we're looking back -- as you go back two or three years, the supply is even smaller, that was right in the teeth of the recession. even if you go back older, sure the spread widens as the cars get older. it's all about supply. since there are fewer used cars on the lots, the prices are higher. >> i noticed that none of these on the list are luxury cars. are luxury cars, doesn't apply to them? >> it does apply. but where we're really seeing the small difference is in the smaller cars. the bigger cars and the suvs, the differences are a bit wider. overall on the whole car market, it's 11% difference between the 2012 and the 2011 models. that's the smallest it's ever been. >> you must have missed the ferrari jack pulled up in. >> that one i did get used. jack, thank you very much. >> >> it is now

stressful tasks, both of the groups had lower heart rates than the neutral smiling groups and the genuine smilers had the most effect. if you're going to be smiling anywhere, you might as well laugh too. laughter has numerous health benefits. it can ease pain and reduce stress and boost the immune system. the next time your stress reaches a boiling point, turn that frown upside down and grin. it will help you bear it. i'm dr. holly phillips. >> cbs "healthwatch" sponsored by ocean spray. tastes good. good for you. clean taste of our cranberries. i cannot tell a lie -- 'tis tasty. okay, george washington, did you take my truck out last night?

of something like love. >> not just bolt run, not just a jamaican but the jamaicans finished, let them tell you. >> one, two, three. jamaica! >> exciting for johan blake and warren weir too. but this was about one man caming in saying he was hurt only running at 95%. that's still several percent better than anybody else. >> this is what i came here for. i got it. i'm so happy. so happy. i can't explain. i came here, a lot of people were doubting me. i had to show the world. >> one world, one heart. the whole world was together and all right. >> even queen elizabeth love bolt. everybody loves bolt. >> so you're saying bolt is finally the legend he said he wanted to be. not only that, he's a living

legend. what does he do now? in the long-term, he won't say. although he's ruled out the bobsled team and in the short term, he also gets gold medals for partying. mark phillips has a great sense of humor. thank you, mark phillips. i love them saying even queen elizabeth loves bolt. he has the beauty queen wave going don't you think? >> i could listen to that marley music all morning long. >> congratulations to jamaica-man. >> because nothing is as big as the olympics, the partying by the athletes is olympic-sized as well. villa marks was out with some of them last night in london. >> i finally tried my best. soon the games will be history in london. that means most of the competitions are over for the world class athletes. so their years of self-sacrifice. as a result, it's not just the swimmers going off the deep end. >> it's been four years of discipline and denial for olympic athletes. but as the games start to wind down, the olympic motto faster,

some hopes of not going so low. >> he said that with a straight face. >> nicely done, willem. athletes -- constantly, discipline and denial. >> i get it. does it make you long for the good old days, jeff? going god, i wish i was doing that. >> how about you? >> no, no, no. i just

way. i think for everyone else, if there's any one company that can be the cheapest. everyone else needs innovation something better. >> what's the next big thing? only time and you the customer will tell. >> but we did get a sneak peek at the next big thing coming out of smart design. they revealed two innovations. looking how to make food shopping easier and banking more accessible for couples so expect big changes coming soon to a grea grocery store or bank near you. >> i love the one where the package being sent someplace else that i can pick it up. are people complaining about picking it up now? >> this is what we we have come to as a society. we want everything delivered right to our doorstep. but i do think, some people will say with the amazon.com offer, well, if you want a delivery, why would you want to go to a store to pick up the product? but there are certain products, amazon tells everything, they're selling 30% of everything sold

online. people like that. >> the options you see now when you buy something on amazon and the different lockers. i haven't done it yet but i may try. american airlines, i've always heard and i thought it was a good idea to ship the bags. who are they looking to appeal to with this? >> families are a big one. you have a young son, gayle, you have children. traveling with them, you might want to ship the kids too. i'm only kidding. >> in the cargo hold. >> traveling with families can be extraordinarily difficult. luggage adds a new layer of it. they're trying to strip some of that away. i'm sure there are moms out there carrying this right now saying this would make my life easier. then the business side of the equation, business travelers make a big bulk of the business for airlines. they like the ability to fly out to a location and have hopefully their luggage waiting for them at the hotel after the meeting. >> it's a cool idea. >> i like that too. thank you, rebecca jarvis. a man called 9-1-1 at the
