[0:01] >> Oprah on the pact she made with
[0:02] Elizabeth Edwards. Next extra.
[0:14] >> The controversy [music] surrounding
[0:16] Craigslist is heating up. With more than
[0:18] 50 million users a month, there's great
[0:21] concern over how the website is managed.
[0:23] Tuesday, attorney generals from three
[0:25] states met with company officials to get
[0:27] the popular online classifieds network
[0:30] to clean up its sex-related postings.
[0:32] CBS's Kelly Wallace reports.
[0:35] In a closed meeting inside this
[0:37] Manhattan office building, three
[0:39] attorneys general pressed lawyers from
[0:41] Craigslist to permanently remove the
[0:43] site's controversial erotic services
[0:45] section.
[0:46] >> No question. Absolutely none.
[0:49] That Craigslist is operating an online
[0:53] brothel here. We're going after them to
[0:56] persuade them they ought to do the right
[0:57] thing, cooperate, and eliminate these
[0:59] ads.
[0:59] >> South Carolina's attorney general went
[1:01] further, saying remove all prostitution
[1:04] ads and pornography in 10 days or he'll
[1:07] prosecute the executives of Craigslist.
[1:10] >> It is nothing but filth. It is
[1:11] advertisement for prostitution.
[1:14] >> But experts say it's unlikely Craigslist
[1:17] can be held criminally liable. Current
[1:19] federal law grants immunity to web
[1:21] operators like Craigslist for content on
[1:24] their site they did not create.
[1:27] >> Simply because Craigslist knew there was
[1:29] bad behavior going on online, that
[1:31] somehow makes them culpable. Well,
[1:33] perhaps in a moral sense, and the
[1:34] attorneys general are free to argue
[1:36] that, but what they can't do is argue
[1:38] that there is some kind of legal
[1:39] violation here.
[1:40] >> The pressure on the classified online
[1:43] site intensified after Philip Markoff
[1:45] was accused of robbing two women and
[1:48] killing another, all of whom he met on
[1:50] Craigslist. In a statement, Craigslist
[1:52] CEO said of Tuesday's meeting, "We are
[1:55] optimistic that our shared concerns can
[1:57] be addressed without compromising free
[2:00] speech. In November, Craigslist, at the
[2:02] urging of 40 attorneys general, began
[2:05] requiring a working phone number and
[2:07] credit card to advertise erotic
[2:09] services. But the state's top
[2:11] prosecutors demanded Craigslist take
[2:13] tougher action in days, not months.
[2:16] Kelly Wallace, CBS News, New York.
[2:19] >> Over the past few years, a special law
[2:21] enforcement program called Safe
[2:23] Surrender has seen 18,000 mostly
[2:25] non-violent fugitives turn themselves in
[2:27] peacefully in a dozen cities. As CBS's
[2:30] Russ Mitchell reports, the program
[2:31] changed hundreds of lives last week in
[2:34] Wilmington, Delaware.
[2:35] >> [snorts]
[2:38] >> Khyron Richardson was on the run from
[2:40] Delaware police.
[2:42] >> A dark cloud hanging over my head.
[2:44] >> Wanted for violating his probation for
[2:46] gun possession after skipping meetings
[2:48] with his probation officer.
[2:50] >> Walking on eggshells for almost a year
[2:52] and a half is a pretty
[2:54] dangerous situation.
[2:55] >> Potentially dangerous for him and his
[2:57] family.
[2:58] >> I was afraid that probation and parole
[3:01] would come and kick my door in.
[3:03] >> If you have a knife of any sort, please
[3:06] take it back to your vehicle right now.
[3:08] >> The Richardsons were among hundreds of
[3:09] Delaware residents who came to what was
[3:11] called Fugitive Safe Surrender, a U.S.
[3:14] Marshals program run with state and
[3:16] local authorities to clear outstanding
[3:19] arrest warrants.
[3:20] >> This opportunity is an incredible cost
[3:22] saver to the courts, to law enforcement,
[3:26] and quite a help to the communities.
[3:29] >> It took place over 4 days.
[3:31] >> Did this gentleman here take you in?
[3:32] >> With judges, attorneys, and even
[3:35] vocational counselors,
[3:36] >> We always believe in second chances.
[3:38] >> all under one roof of a church.
[3:41] >> We didn't come to be hustled, we came to
[3:43] be helped, right?
[3:45] >> The support of local clergy is a key
[3:47] part of the surrender program.
[3:49] >> Today, pastors have left the pool pits,
[3:51] they've hit the pavements, and folks are
[3:54] coming because they trust the faith
[3:56] leaders.
[3:57] >> The people also trust their outstanding
[3:59] arrest warrants will be treated
[4:01] favorably, but mostly they're looking
[4:03] for peace of mind.
[4:05] Dave Melo had a warrant for theft.
[4:07] >> Well, you wake up in the morning, you're
[4:08] thinking about it. You think about it
[4:10] throughout the day. You're looking over
[4:11] your shoulder. You're worried about
[4:12] people recognizing your face.
[4:14] >> He came with his wife to get a fresh
[4:17] start.
[4:18] >> How can you enjoy life and how can you
[4:20] enjoy um your marriage or your family
[4:22] when you have this this, you know,
[4:25] heaviness hanging over you?
[4:27] >> Melo was allowed to pay a small court
[4:29] fee and leave with probation.
[4:32] >> I'll celebrate every day.
[4:34] >> And after paying $589 in fines, Chiron
[4:38] Richardson will no longer be living
[4:40] under the radar.
[4:41] >> The biggest thing is I'm not a fugitive
[4:43] anymore.
[4:44] >> To the marshals and police, the program
[4:46] eliminates risk to them.
[4:49] >> Anytime a person surrenders, that's one
[4:52] less foot chase, one less car chase, and
[4:55] we see the results too often
[4:58] um where somebody's injured or killed as
[4:59] a result of a car chase.
[5:01] >> Burnell Wright had a handful of traffic
[5:03] violations.
[5:04] >> It's still intimidating when you come in
[5:06] cuz you don't know what's going to
[5:07] happen.
[5:07] >> By the end of the day, with a smaller
[5:09] than expected fine, his tickets were
[5:12] cleared.
[5:13] >> Right there. New Destiny, that's what I
[5:15] got.
[5:17] >> Over 4 days, more than 1,000 people have
[5:19] surrendered in Wilmington, clearing more
[5:21] than 4,000 cases, and only six of those
[5:24] people were arrested.
[5:26] Russ Mitchell, CBS News, New York.
[5:29] >> Olympic champion Michael Phelps is free
[5:31] to race again. His 3-month suspension
[5:34] levied after picture surfaced of him
[5:35] smoking a marijuana pipe ended
[5:37] yesterday. Phelps says he will swim
[5:39] competitively for the first time since
[5:41] the Olympics next week in Charlotte,
[5:43] North Carolina.
[5:45] Still ahead, you see it every day, road
[5:47] rage. But now there's a safe and legal
[5:50] way to vent your anger. We'll show you
[5:52] how. This is CBS News up to the minute.
[6:06] >> Even if you love spots,
[6:09] there are some places you don't want to
[6:11] see them. [music]
[6:12] Get rid of spots in your oven with
[6:14] Easy-Off fume free oven cleaner. It
[6:16] starts working instantly [music] without
[6:18] fumes. Just spray and wipe. Spot
[6:20] cleaning with Easy-Off fume free means
[6:21] [music] less full cleaning later. And no
[6:23] fumes makes it great for everyday
[6:25] cleaning. And this summer, clean your
[6:27] grill with new Easy-Off barbecue grill
[6:29] cleaner.
[6:30] >> I need pain relief that won't mess with
[6:32] my grip.
[6:33] >> The new Icy Hot no mess applicator
[6:35] massages in long-lasting relief for
[6:36] shoulders, knees, backs, even arthritis.
[6:39] Icy to dull pains, hot to relax it away.
[6:41] Icy Hot no mess applicator.
[6:43] >> No pain, no mess.
[6:45] >> Falling asleep, [music]
[6:46] not a problem. I discovered new Unisom
[6:49] Sleep Melts. Dissolves quickly [music]
[6:51] without water and tastes great. I get to
[6:53] sleep faster, stay asleep, and wake
[6:56] refreshed. Melt to sleep fast, get new
[6:58] Unisom Sleep Melts.
[7:02] >> Um,
[7:03] do you two want to sit together?
[7:05] >> No, that's just the money I could be
[7:07] saving with GEICO.
[7:11] GEICO, 15 [music] minutes could save you
[7:13] 15% or more on car insurance.
[7:15] >> It's the money you could be saving with
[7:17] GEICO.
[7:18] >> You were made for each other. You like
[7:20] money, he likes money. Well,
[7:23] he is money.
[7:26] >> GEICO, 15 minutes could save you 15% or
[7:28] more on car insurance.
[7:31] >> Did you fall?
[7:32] >> Oh, rollerblading.
[7:33] >> You poor thing.
[7:34] >> Skiing accident?
[7:35] >> Um, mountain biking.
[7:37] >> Mm.
[7:38] Snowboarding?
[7:39] >> Um, hang gliding.
[7:40] >> Respect.
[7:43] >> Hard water stains, huh?
[7:46] >> Cleaning hard water stains [music] with
[7:47] the wrong product can be painful.
[7:49] Lime-A-Way is scientifically proven to
[7:50] eliminate lime scale. A leading
[7:52] all-purpose cleaner doesn't. [music] End
[7:54] the frustration of constantly scrubbing
[7:55] hard water stains and give your arm a
[7:57] break. For lime, calcium, and rust,
[7:59] Lime-A-Way's a must.

[8:02] hidden gems, even find [music] free

[8:07] your fingertips. Coming up on The Early
[8:09] Show.
[8:10] >> When the questions are just as important
[8:12] as the answers.
[8:13] >> Aren't you going to have to tell them
[8:14] that they just can't do that?
[8:16] >> There's one place where the biggest
[8:17] names in politics face the facts, face
[8:20] the truth.
[8:21] >> How bad is the situation right now?
[8:24] >> Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer,
[8:26] Sundays on CBS.

[8:32] Tonight on the CBS Evening News.
[8:37] >> I'm going to have a Swiss cheeseburger,
[8:38] jalapeno peppers.
[8:40] >> And you put ketchup on it, or we do that
[8:42] ourselves?
[8:42] >> I'm going to have a
[8:44] just a your basic cheddar cheeseburger.
[8:47] >> He's got a world-class kitchen and a
[8:49] staff to cater to his every culinary
[8:51] need, but when you want a burger, you
[8:53] want a burger. President Obama and Vice
[8:55] President Biden surprised customers and
[8:57] employees at Ray's Hell Burger in
[9:00] Arlington, Virginia yesterday. They each
[9:02] paid cash for the $7 meals. The
[9:05] president also left a $5 tip.
[9:08] Meanwhile, the White House is still
[9:09] getting a lot of flak over that photo
[9:12] shoot of Air Force One that caused panic
[9:14] in parts of New York and New Jersey. And
[9:16] now it turns out they've decided not to
[9:18] ever release the publicity shots of the
[9:20] president's plane near the Statue of
[9:22] Liberty. The shoot cost taxpayers more
[9:25] than $320,000.
[9:28] Turning from the sky to the road, we've
[9:30] all seen rude and reckless drivers, and
[9:32] it's often frustrating that there's
[9:34] little you can can about them. Well,
[9:36] that's changing now. CBS's Daniel
[9:38] Sieberg has more.
[9:40] >> How many times have you seen this?
[9:43] Or this?
[9:45] Or maybe it happened to you. Bad drivers
[9:48] are everywhere.
[9:48] >> He's going to kill somebody.
[9:50] >> And often seem to just get away with
[9:52] crossing the line, especially if their
[9:54] behavior doesn't result in an accident.
[9:57] Not anymore.
[9:58] A close call used to mean just cursing
[10:00] the other driver and maybe risking a
[10:02] case of road rage. But now, thanks to
[10:05] the web, you can share that frustration
[10:07] with others. Call it cyber shaming.
[10:10] >> Sometimes shaming, you know, will work.
[10:11] Sometimes it doesn't work. But the point
[10:14] of the site that it gets people talking
[10:16] about it.
[10:17] >> Mark Buckman started platewire.com,
[10:19] where people can submit the license
[10:20] plate of drivers deemed too dangerous or
[10:23] reckless.
[10:24] >> I felt that the internet could use a
[10:25] place for people to communicate, to take
[10:27] out the anonymity out of the roadway. To
[10:30] have a place to say, "Hey, I witnessed
[10:33] this."
[10:34] >> Clearly, the idea is hitting a nerve as
[10:35] several bad driving sites have popped
[10:37] up, from taking on people who take up
[10:40] more than one parking stall to this site
[10:42] that grades LA drivers on an idiocy
[10:44] scale to cyclists who document their
[10:47] harrowing encounters.
[10:49] Psychotherapist Robbie Ludwig says
[10:51] sharing the experience with other people
[10:53] can ease the frustration to a point.
[10:55] >> If you're using it appropriately, it's a
[10:57] way to just kind of release your anger,
[10:59] feel like you're exposing somebody who
[11:01] doesn't know what they're doing, and
[11:02] then you can move on. It seems fairly
[11:04] harmless and kind of fun.
[11:06] >> So, you never know if that other car is
[11:08] ready to report your terrible driving
[11:10] for the entire World Wide Web to see.
[11:13] Daniel Sieberg, CBS News, New York.
[11:17] >> Summer is just around the corner, and
[11:19] we're all already starting to dream
[11:21] about that summer vacation. But the
[11:23] economy has many of us thinking about
[11:25] saving rather than splurging. So,
[11:27] joining us with some tips on how to find
[11:28] a great deal is Amy Ziff,
[11:30] editor-at-large for travel aci.com. Good
[11:32] morning.
[11:33] >> Good morning to you.
[11:34] >> So, the economy has also affected
[11:36] flights we're seeing and so people
[11:38] actually could get a a good deal even
[11:39] though they're holding onto their money.
[11:41] >> This is going to be the summer of the
[11:43] deal. So, it's actually really good time
[11:45] to travel. One of the aspects of the
[11:47] economic downturn is the fact that
[11:49] people want to well, travel companies
[11:52] want to get you getting out of your seat
[11:54] and going on the road and so they are
[11:56] offering some amazing deals with
[11:58] flights. I'm seeing prices that we
[12:00] haven't seen in years. The domestic
[12:02] average for Memorial Day is $295. Now,
[12:05] that's a holiday weekend under 300
[12:08] bucks. The international average is
[12:10] around $610.
[12:12] So, international deals are really the
[12:14] steal. Now, of course you're thinking
[12:15] that's higher than the domestic, but
[12:17] we're again talking about a holiday
[12:19] weekend and I'm seeing flights across
[12:21] the summer into Europe for $500, for
[12:24] example. It's a really good time to get
[12:27] a good flight and if you're wondering,
[12:29] well, how do I do that? I'm seeing
[12:31] flight sales every day. You don't have
[12:34] to worry about that. You could just sign
[12:35] up for something like farewatcher and
[12:37] you'll get an email into your inbox when
[12:39] the flight you want has gone on sale.
[12:41] >> And we said you brought in some numbers
[12:43] about Vancouver. Average fare $449.
[12:46] That's down 15%. I mean, that's that's a
[12:49] great deal. What other things are you
[12:50] seeing?
[12:51] >> Uh London and Dublin I'm consistently
[12:53] seeing good pricing too. They're also
[12:55] down more than 15% year-over-year and
[12:58] again that's Memorial Day weekend and
[13:00] into summer. So, some really good fares
[13:03] there and of course domestic fares are
[13:05] less expensive too.
[13:06] >> Should you be watching your email?
[13:07] Should you be watching the sites? What
[13:09] When's the best time to book? What
[13:11] should you be looking at?
[13:12] >> Well, if you see a good deal, it's
[13:13] probably a good time to buy it then
[13:16] because you are not guaranteed. A lot of
[13:18] these fails sales are very quick. They
[13:21] come and they go and then they're over
[13:24] with. So, if somebody gets there before
[13:25] you, the seat may be gone. So, you want
[13:27] to lock that good price in when you do
[13:30] see it. Monitor your email, sign up for
[13:32] sale information so that it comes to
[13:35] you, and that makes it really easy.
[13:37] There's no one single day to buy, but
[13:40] just being on top of it and being ready
[13:42] to go, pull the trigger when it happens.
[13:44] >> And what about hotel deals? What are
[13:45] some good tips on that front?
[13:47] >> Good tips on hotel deals. One is you
[13:49] want to look for destinations that are
[13:51] offering you incentives to come and
[13:53] bring your travel dollars to their
[13:54] destination. So, for the summer right
[13:56] now, I'm seeing a deal to Bermuda. Four
[13:58] nights or more, and you can actually get
[14:00] $400 credit to spend towards your
[14:04] vacation. A really amazing deal there.
[14:06] And then also, similarly, Puerto Rico.
[14:09] If you spend 300 or if you spend three
[14:12] nights there, you can get up to $300 in
[14:14] credits, $200 back towards your package
[14:17] and another $100 to spend in the
[14:19] destination. So, that's one way to go.
[14:21] The other is to look at high-end
[14:23] properties, which are really trying to
[14:25] lure people in and get customers right
[14:28] now because people think expensive when
[14:30] they think high-end. But imagine this,
[14:32] you can get a four and a half, five-star
[14:34] property at half of what it might go for
[14:36] at another point in time. So, I've got
[14:38] deals I'm seeing to Beaver Creek, the
[14:41] Park Hyatt there, and also to the
[14:43] Arrabelle in Vail. Both of those four
[14:45] and a half-star properties, and the
[14:47] rates are less than half of what they
[14:49] are in peak ski season.
[14:50] >> Well, a lot of good choices. All right,
[14:53] Amy Ziff, thanks so much for being with
[14:55] us.
[14:55] >> My pleasure.
[14:57] >> You're watching CBS News up to the
[14:59] minute.
[15:03] >> So, the insurance company and the folks
[15:05] that did this to me have some sort of
[15:07] arrangement. They get more work, and the
[15:09] insurance company gets kickbacks.
[15:11] >> [music]
[15:11] >> I see.
[15:15] Look.
[15:17] Who wins here?
[15:18] >> Not me.
[15:19] >> Or me.
[15:24] Oh.

[17:04] >> This year Little League Baseball is
[17:06] celebrating its 70th anniversary, but
[17:08] there's another anniversary getting much
[17:10] less attention. It's been 35 years since
[17:13] Little League lost the fight to keep
[17:14] girls out of the game. CBS's Sandra
[17:17] Hughes has a score.
[17:19] >> It was
[17:21] >> When the Burbank High School baseball
[17:23] team hits the locker room,
[17:26] the starting pitcher changes in the
[17:28] snack bar.
[17:31] >> There are some teams that when they
[17:33] realize there's a girl pitching, they
[17:34] kind of step up their swagger a little
[17:36] bit, you know, and they're like, "What
[17:38] is this a joke?"
[17:42] >> By the third strikeout in a row,
[17:45] no one's laughing at 5'2"
[17:48] Marty Simonelli.
[17:50] >> You know, I'm a man, you know, doesn't
[17:51] matter your height. Just got to hit your
[17:52] spots.
[17:53] >> In Little League, she had more than 500
[17:56] strikeouts.
[17:58] Already this season, 35 strikeouts
[18:02] in the first six games. How many
[18:05] different pitches do you have?
[18:06] >> I have about like eight different ones.
[18:08] I have my fastball, curveball, slider,
[18:10] two different kinds of cutters, two
[18:11] different kinds of palm balls, and
[18:13] changeup.
[18:14] >> Most Major League players have three
[18:16] pitches.
[18:19] 35 years ago, a lawsuit forced Little
[18:21] League to let girls play baseball. In
[18:23] response, the organization also created
[18:26] a separate league of their own for
[18:27] softball. Today, 100,000 girls play
[18:31] Little League baseball, but far more,
[18:33] 360,000,
[18:35] play softball. And after age 12, the
[18:38] message is clear.
[18:41] Boys play baseball.
[18:45] Girls play softball. Marty wasn't
[18:47] listening.
[18:49] >> Did you ever think about going into
[18:50] softball?
[18:51] >> Never. Everyone who was asking me that,
[18:53] I would never be a pitcher. It's so
[18:55] awkward to me. It's not the right motion
[18:57] to me.
[18:58] >> An 11-in softball is pitched underhand.
[19:01] A baseball, 2-in smaller, is pitched
[19:04] overhead.
[19:05] >> Calling softball the same as baseball is
[19:08] like calling tennis the same as ping
[19:10] pong.
[19:11] >> Oh, Lilly. After watching her daughter
[19:14] fight to play, Jennifer Rich wrote a
[19:16] book about why girls are kept out of the
[19:18] national pastime.
[19:20] >> It's not
[19:21] the boys that are the problem. It's the
[19:23] adults. It's the parents and the coaches
[19:25] that uh just can't handle it.
[19:27] >> Marti won most valuable pitcher in the
[19:29] Women's World Cup. Back home, she's
[19:32] hoping being best in the world is good
[19:34] enough to stay in the game in high
[19:36] school, college, and beyond. Sandra
[19:39] Hughes, CBS News, Burbank.

[20:40] >> Good morning [music] from CBS News
[20:42] headquarters in New York. This is Up to
[20:43] the Minute. I'm Michelle Gielan.
[20:46] The war against the Taliban takes center
[20:48] stage today at the White House as
[20:50] President Obama meets with the leaders
[20:52] of both Pakistan and Afghanistan. The
[20:54] talks have taken on a new urgency with
[20:56] Taliban forces digging in for a major
[20:59] battle on the doorstep of the Pakistani
[21:01] capital. Militants seize government
[21:03] buildings and laid land mines in the
[21:05] streets of the Swat Valley. a 3-month
[21:08] old truce that gave the Taliban control
[21:10] of the region has collapsed. And
[21:12] Pakistani forces are now on the move.
[21:14] They recaptured a key town in Buner in
[21:17] that district just 60 miles from
[21:20] Islamabad. Scores
[21:22] reportedly killed and the army is now
[21:24] poised to widen its assault. The Taliban
[21:27] is now in control of a wide swath of
[21:29] Pakistan stretching from the stretching
[21:32] to the Afghanistan border.
[21:34] And the prospect of all-out war has
[21:36] hundreds of thousands of residents on
[21:38] the move. CBS's Lara Logan reports.
[21:42] >> Residents are packing up and fleeing the
[21:44] Swat Valley. The government preparing to
[21:46] shelter up to half a million people. A
[21:49] sure sign the situation is getting
[21:51] worse, not better. It may also mean the
[21:54] Pakistani army is finally doing what the
[21:56] US wants.
[21:58] Taking on the Taliban and Al-Qaeda
[22:00] militants who now control that area.
[22:03] That issue sure to be top of the agenda
[22:05] when three presidents meet. Barack
[22:07] Obama's greatest foreign policy
[22:09] challenge so far in the hands of these
[22:12] two men. Pakistan's Asif Ali Zardari and
[22:15] Afghanistan's Hamid Karzai.
[22:17] >> He might get warm handshakes,
[22:20] but can the men deliver and deliver
[22:24] adequately? It is far from clear.
[22:26] >> The US needs Zardari to rein in the
[22:28] militants and guarantee his nation's
[22:31] nuclear weapons are safe from terrorist
[22:33] hands. But the US is dealing with a weak
[22:35] president in a country more accustomed
[22:38] to military dictatorships.
[22:40] >> In general,
[22:41] he's not very popular.
[22:42] >> Like many Pakistanis, Fauzia Saeed
[22:45] supports the president's party, but not
[22:48] the man himself.
[22:49] >> One thing that we do not want is for any
[22:52] powerful country, especially United
[22:55] States, to undermine our democracy.
[22:57] >> Pakistanis do feel undermined by recent
[23:00] public statements from the US.
[23:02] >> The civilian government there right now
[23:05] is very fragile.
[23:06] >> That may be true, but saying it hasn't
[23:09] made President Zardari any stronger as
[23:11] he faces critics in Washington and at
[23:13] home.
[23:14] >> I read in the newspapers that the
[23:16] administration is distancing itself from
[23:18] President Zardari in favor of his
[23:21] leading political opponent Nawaz Sharif
[23:24] in the Punjab. That's simply not true.
[23:27] >> Here in the poorest areas of the capital
[23:29] Islamabad, people feel abandoned by the
[23:32] government. Even though many of them
[23:33] voted for President Zardari and his
[23:35] party, they say he's done nothing for
[23:38] them.
[23:39] Across the border in Afghanistan, many
[23:41] feel the same way about President
[23:43] Karzai.
[23:44] >> He has turned into
[23:46] uh somebody which has shown the ultimate
[23:50] sense of irresponsibility towards the
[23:53] the needs
[23:55] uh and the feelings of the people.
[23:56] >> In Washington, Karzai asserted his
[23:59] independence from his US backers,
[24:01] mindful of his audience at home.
[24:03] >> Unless the sanctuaries
[24:06] um
[24:06] in our neighbors, the training grounds
[24:08] in our neighbors go away, Afghanistan
[24:10] will not be stable or peaceful.
[24:13] The return of the Taliban is because uh
[24:16] we did not address the question of
[24:17] sanctuaries in time.
[24:19] >> President Obama's challenge: how to get
[24:21] results without alienating two key US
[24:24] allies. Lara Logan, CBS News, New York.
[24:28] >> The Afghan president is also expected to
[24:31] demand an explanation for a US bombing
[24:33] raid that left dozens of civilians dead.
[24:36] It happened along Afghanistan's border
[24:38] with Iran, where the Afghan army was
[24:40] battling Taliban gunmen. Local villagers
[24:43] reportedly gathered their women and
[24:45] children in several compounds to keep
[24:47] them safe. That's when they claim US
[24:49] aircraft mistakenly targeted the
[24:51] compounds. The US military confirms it
[24:54] took part in the battle. The State
[24:55] Department says it regrets any civilian
[24:58] casualties.
[24:59] Closer to home, three top Bush
[25:01] administration lawyers will reportedly
[25:03] not be put on trial for their role in
[25:05] drafting the so-called torture memos.
[25:07] The Justice Department will reportedly
[25:09] recommend that Jay Bybee and John Yoo be
[25:12] investigated by their state bar
[25:14] associations for possible discipline
[25:16] disciplinary action. No action is being
[25:19] recommended against the third lawyer,
[25:21] Steven Bradbury. All worked in the
[25:23] Justice Department's Office of Legal
[25:25] Counsel. Bybee is now a federal judge.
[25:28] Yoo is a law professor at Cal Berkeley.
[25:30] And Bradbury is in private practice.
[25:33] As for the recession, Fed Chairman Ben
[25:35] Bernanke says he sees the end in sight
[25:38] for everything but unemployment. CBS's
[25:41] Chip Reid reports.
[25:43] >> Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke walked a fine
[25:45] line balancing good news on the economy
[25:48] against signs of a long and painful
[25:50] recovery.
[25:51] >> We are hopeful that the very sharp
[25:53] decline we saw beginning last fall
[25:56] through early this year will moderate
[25:58] considerably in the near term and that
[26:00] we'll see positive growth by the end of
[26:02] the year.
[26:03] >> He cited positive news on housing.
[26:05] Pending home sales were up 3.2% in
[26:07] March.
[26:08] >> The housing market is beginning to
[26:09] stabilize. Consumer spending, he said,
[26:12] is also up 2.2% in the first quarter and
[26:15] it will get a boost in coming months,
[26:17] Bernanke said, from the president's
[26:19] stimulus package. But the recovery will
[26:21] only gradually gain momentum, he warned,
[26:24] and with businesses nervous about hiring
[26:26] new workers, unemployment will remain
[26:28] high even after the recovery is well
[26:31] underway. We think that the unemployment
[26:33] rate will probably peak early in 2010
[26:36] and then come down relatively slowly
[26:38] after that. Bernanke defended the
[26:40] so-called stress tests that were
[26:42] delivered to 19 major banks Tuesday and
[26:45] will be publicly unveiled Thursday,
[26:47] arguing that transparency will restore
[26:50] confidence in the banks. That's a very
[26:51] important part of this whole process is
[26:53] letting people see what what is on the
[26:54] bank's balance sheets. Treasury
[26:56] Department sources say about 10 of the
[26:58] banks will be ordered to raise more
[26:59] capital to make sure they can survive if
[27:02] the recession becomes even worse. If the
[27:04] banks can't raise the money on their
[27:06] own, the federal government has promised
[27:08] to back them up once again. Former Fed
[27:11] Governor Larry Myers says it's necessary
[27:13] to make sure the banking system
[27:15] survives, but that doesn't mean
[27:17] taxpayers will be happy.
[27:18] >> If they tell us that uh
[27:21] uh a dozen or more banks need capital
[27:23] and that it more than exhaust the funds
[27:25] I have available, that'll be a very bad
[27:27] day for the market.
[27:29] >> But Bernanke says the stakes are so high
[27:31] on stabilizing the banks that failure to
[27:34] do so could stall the recovery and
[27:36] extend the recession. Chip Reid, CBS
[27:40] News, the White House.
[27:42] >> And health officials have confirmed the
[27:43] first death of an American with the H1N1
[27:46] virus. The 33-year-old woman died
[27:49] earlier this week in Texas. She was
[27:50] battling other health issues as well.
[27:53] The woman had recently given birth. The
[27:55] baby is said to be healthy. Last week a
[27:57] Mexican child died in a Houston
[27:59] hospital. This [music] is up to the
[28:00] minute.

[30:15] >> Fed Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke told
[30:17] Congress Tuesday he sees the economy
[30:19] turning around later this year, but
[30:21] warned the recovery will still be slow
[30:22] and painful. Karen Brown has more in
[30:25] this morning's CBS Money Watch.
[30:27] >> Investors could be trading cautiously
[30:29] today as they wait for some key economic
[30:31] news. The government will finally
[30:33] release the results of its stress tests
[30:35] of US banks on Thursday, and on Friday,
[30:38] the latest jobs report and unemployment
[30:40] figures come out. On Tuesday, the
[30:42] Federal Reserve Chairman told Congress
[30:44] that the recession should be over by the
[30:46] end of the year. Ben Bernanke says he
[30:49] expects the economy to hit bottom in the
[30:51] next few months, then start improving.
[30:53] However, he predicts higher unemployment
[30:55] and lower housing prices before we turn
[30:57] the corner. Bernanke's comments didn't
[31:00] get much of a reaction from Wall Street.
[31:02] The Dow fell 16 points, the NASDAQ
[31:05] dropped nine.
[31:06] The company that provides loans to
[31:08] people buying GM cars says it lost $675
[31:11] million in the first quarter. GMAC,
[31:14] which also issues home mortgages, has
[31:17] been hammered by the collapse of the
[31:18] housing and auto markets.
[31:21] The company has received billions in
[31:22] government aid to stay afloat. The Walt
[31:25] Disney Company says its second quarter
[31:27] net income fell 46%.
[31:29] Big profit drops at its movie studios
[31:32] and theme parks are a major reason.
[31:34] Microsoft is expected to slash about
[31:36] 3,000 positions over the next 12 months.
[31:39] It's the second wave of cuts at the
[31:41] software giant. The company cut 1,400
[31:44] jobs in January, the company's
[31:45] first-ever layoffs. For more business
[31:48] headlines, head to cbsmoneywatch.com.
[31:51] On Wall Street, I'm Karen Brown.
[31:53] >> As Karen reported, Chairman Bernanke
[31:55] mentioned positive signs for the housing
[31:57] market that the slump is still far from
[31:59] over. Look no further than Victorville,
[32:02] California. It would cost more for the
[32:04] developer to finish these 17 new homes
[32:07] and sell them than it would just to tear
[32:08] them down. So, the bank called in the
[32:11] bulldozers.
[32:12] One other money matter, when word got
[32:14] out that insurance giant AIG had paid
[32:17] more than $160 million in bonuses, it
[32:20] set off a political firestorm. Now, it
[32:22] turns out the payout was a lot more than
[32:25] that. After the company was bailed out
[32:27] by taxpayers, it paid out more than $450
[32:30] million in bonuses in 2008. The payments
[32:33] averaged between $5,000 and $50,000 per
[32:37] employee.
[32:38] Tuesday, we saw and heard from the
[32:40] recipient of the first ever face
[32:42] transplant in this country. CBS's
[32:44] Michelle Miller has the story, but first
[32:46] a warning, some of these images are
[32:48] graphic.
[32:50] >> Five years ago, Connie Culp was a
[32:52] striking, energetic mother of two. Then
[32:56] one night, her husband tried to end it
[32:57] all. He pointed a shotgun at her and
[33:00] pulled the trigger. The blast blew away
[33:03] her nose, her upper jaw, and left her
[33:05] almost blind.
[33:07] >> Could not breathe through her nose,
[33:08] could not smell,
[33:09] could not at least sense aroma.
[33:12] >> Her husband was in jail, but after 30
[33:14] plastic surgeries, she was confined to
[33:16] home with little help of leading a
[33:18] normal life.
[33:19] >> Society have rejected her. She was
[33:22] called names and children were afraid of
[33:25] her.
[33:25] >> Until last December, when a team of
[33:28] eight surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic
[33:30] began a 22-hour operation to replace 80%
[33:33] of her face. The cost for all of her
[33:35] medical care, an estimated one million
[33:38] dollars, though she didn't have to pay
[33:40] for it. First, doctors removed the face
[33:42] of the donor, who had been declared
[33:44] brain dead, and through microsurgery,
[33:46] the team connected Connie's veins,
[33:48] arteries, and nerves to the tissue,
[33:50] rebuilding the bones to support it all.
[33:53] Connie remained anonymous until Tuesday,
[33:56] when she revealed her new face.
[33:58] >> Connie, thank you.
[33:59] >> And her old sense of humor.
[34:01] >> I don't need my nose.
[34:03] >> [laughter]
[34:05] >> With her new nose, she's recovered her
[34:07] sense of smell. Connie can also now eat
[34:09] solid food, drink without a straw, and
[34:12] breathe on her own.
[34:14] >> She eats hamburgers and enjoys her
[34:17] speech. She's drinking coffee from the
[34:20] cup.
[34:20] >> Like any transplant patient, Connie
[34:22] takes medication so her body doesn't
[34:24] reject the donor tissue, and she faces
[34:27] more surgery ahead. She hopes her story
[34:30] is a lesson for everyone.
[34:31] >> So don't judge people who
[34:33] don't look the same as you do, cuz you
[34:35] never know
[34:37] when that might be all taken away.
[34:39] >> Michelle Miller, CBS News, New York.
[34:43] >> Actor and funny man Dom DeLuise has died
[34:46] in Los Angeles after a long illness.
[34:48] CBS's Jeff Glor takes a look back at the
[34:51] beloved man's prolific career.
[34:54] >> [music]
[34:56] >> Though he was often a second banana, Dom
[34:58] DeLuise was always a ham.
[35:01] >> Okay, simmer down.
[35:03] >> His comic timing and generous frame made
[35:05] him a lovable favorite on Dean Martin's
[35:07] variety show and led to a career as a
[35:09] character actor in some of Hollywood's
[35:11] most memorable films.
[35:13] >> NOT IN THE FACE.
[35:15] >> [screaming]
[35:17] >> THANK YOU.
[35:18] >> DELUISE IS MOST famous for playing the
[35:20] bumbling buddy of leading man Burt
[35:22] Reynolds.
[35:23] The duo made six films together,
[35:25] including the slapstick classic
[35:27] Cannonball Run.
[35:28] >> Cannonball
[35:31] I am Captain Chaos.
[35:33] >> An avid foodie and amateur chef, DeLuise
[35:36] penned two cookbooks.
[35:37] >> Most people wake up to an alarm clock. I
[35:39] would wake up
[35:40] to the smell of food, you know.
[35:42] >> And once said of Hollywood that he'd
[35:44] rather be at home
[35:45] with 12 people around his table.
[35:50] Dom DeLuise was 75.

[38:33] >> Some of the best movies ever made may be
[38:35] nothing you've ever seen or heard of.
[38:36] Independent films can be nearly
[38:38] impossible to promote, but thanks to
[38:40] events like the Tribeca Film Festival,
[38:42] word of mouth can catapult a low-budget
[38:44] movie into a blockbuster. Dozens of
[38:47] films were handpicked to screen at
[38:48] Tribeca this year. The eighth annual
[38:50] festival wrapped up just this weekend,
[38:52] bringing out both the stars and those
[38:54] hoping to be the next big thing. Joining
[38:56] me now are two people behind one of the
[38:58] film's big hits, P-Star Rising, Gabriel
[39:02] Noble, who's the director, and Priscilla
[39:03] Star Diaz, the subject of the
[39:05] documentary. Good to have you with us
[39:07] this morning.
[39:07] >> Hi.
[39:08] >> Thank you.
[39:09] >> So, you are a very accomplished young
[39:11] rapper, and what age did you start
[39:13] rapping at? Cuz when we see you at 9,
[39:15] you're already amazing.
[39:16] >> [laughter]
[39:16] >> Uh actually, I actually started rapping
[39:19] when I was about 6, professionally 8 or
[39:21] 9. So, yeah, and you actually get to see
[39:23] the first moments of me becoming an
[39:25] artist in the movie.
[39:26] >> How did you decide to do this
[39:28] documentary?
[39:29] >> Um I met Priscilla at midnight on a show
[39:32] that I was producing, and she was an
[39:33] extra, and I told her and her dad, you
[39:35] know, it's late, why don't you get home,
[39:36] it's a school night, we'll use you again
[39:38] tomorrow, and he said, actually, you
[39:39] know what, she's a rapper. We usually in
[39:41] the club at this hour.
[39:42] The club? I mean, at that time,
[39:43] Priscilla was about this big. She was 8
[39:45] and 1/2. She was a silly, goofy little
[39:47] girl, and he brought her over, and he
[39:49] had her rap for everyone on set, and
[39:50] blew us all away. And it wasn't just
[39:53] that she was a rapper, it was her
[39:54] aggressiveness, her precociousness, she
[39:56] had cadence and rhythm, and there was a
[39:58] story, you knew there was a story behind
[40:00] why this little girl was doing what she
[40:02] was doing, and being snuck into
[40:03] nightclubs at 8 years old.
[40:04] >> And let's go ahead and take a clip, a
[40:06] look at a clip of the film. It's pretty
[40:08] amazing.
[40:08] >> My small world in tight so superb. You
[40:12] bite what I serve, I give advice to you,
[40:14] herb. And I come through the flu,
[40:16] looking for love and a nice
[40:18] home. A princess who knows how
[40:19] >> to model, rap. So, watch us keep hating.
[40:22] You can swallow the tech. And I'll spit
[40:24] anyone who worse than the lava. And both
[40:27] of them is hot like the coming of the
[40:28] lava.
[40:30] >> So, how does it feel to be out there
[40:32] throwing it down in front of these guys
[40:33] that are what, double, triple your age?
[40:35] >> [laughter]
[40:36] >> I mean, it's it's not like I'm not
[40:39] competitive or anything. I I think it's
[40:41] something that I like to do and to have
[40:43] fun with, you know? And it's it's a type
[40:44] of thing when I when I battle like when
[40:46] you what you saw just now, somebody like
[40:48] that.
[40:49] Um it it's just, you know, to keep me,
[40:52] you know, more motive with what I'm
[40:54] doing, you know, being happy and and
[40:55] just, you know, show my skills off
[40:57] basically as a young rapper. And I guess
[40:59] that's all I have to say for that.
[41:02] >> Now, you're very well spoken and you
[41:04] know, beautiful young lady. So, how when
[41:06] you're rapping, I mean, that's almost
[41:08] it's sort of a different persona. It's
[41:10] more aggressive. How do you bring
[41:11] yourself into that?
[41:12] >> it's it's I don't know. I don't know. I
[41:15] don't I don't know at all. It's just
[41:16] it's just something I have in me where,
[41:18] you know, if I just step on stage and I
[41:20] must perform, that's what I do. Step on
[41:22] stage and perform as Priscilla. You
[41:23] know, Priscilla whole different girl,
[41:25] you know, mellow like this and all that.
[41:27] Priscilla she comes out, she does her
[41:29] thing. It's like one of those Beyoncé
[41:31] things, you know, Beyoncé versus Sasha
[41:33] Fierce. You know what I mean? It's like
[41:35] Priscilla versus Priscilla. I don't
[41:37] know. That's one example.
[41:39] >> [laughter]
[41:40] >> Now, Gabriel, you're not only the
[41:42] director, you're actually the
[41:42] cinematographer that follows them
[41:44] through these the four years.
[41:46] Um how was that following their every
[41:48] move?
[41:49] >> Um it was difficult. It was very
[41:51] difficult to know when to film and when
[41:52] not to film. It was a shot over a period
[41:54] of four years. So, in four years of
[41:56] someone's life, a lot happens. A lot of
[41:58] incredible moments that you want to
[41:59] capture.
[42:00] Um and there's a lot of moments you
[42:01] miss. And so,
[42:03] being a cinematographer helped a lot
[42:05] because I was the only one in the room.
[42:07] I got to know them intimately and they'd
[42:09] let me in their life. I think anytime
[42:11] that I brought an extra cameraman or a
[42:13] boom operator, it changed the intimacy
[42:16] of the footage. It changed authenticity.
[42:17] It changed the story.
[42:19] Um, so I found myself in the corner of
[42:21] their house for years and on street
[42:23] corners and hotels and airplanes
[42:26] following them and being completely
[42:29] uh invisible to their story.
[42:31] >> Now, you've been welcomed with open arms
[42:33] at the Tribeca Film Festival. You were
[42:35] in the running for the Audience Awards
[42:36] and actually finished in the top 10.
[42:38] How's that reception been?
[42:40] >> That was great. I mean, the reason you
[42:41] make a movie obviously is for people to
[42:43] see it. You know, you're in an edit room
[42:45] for 8 months with your editor and it's a
[42:47] pretty lonely process. So, to show it
[42:49] out to a general public, we had 5,000
[42:51] people there at the drive-in in Battery
[42:53] Park.
[42:54] Um,
[42:55] we had three sold-out screenings. So, to
[42:57] get it out there and have people excited
[42:59] about it and waiting in line in the rain
[43:00] and and coming in and seeing it and
[43:02] being excited, all ages, all
[43:03] ethnicities, it's it's a dream. It's why
[43:05] we made the film.
[43:06] >> Priscilla, what are you doing these days
[43:07] cuz you you have another project going
[43:09] on as well.
[43:10] >> Um, yeah, I'm actually working on the
[43:12] Electric Company actually. We just
[43:15] we have 32 episodes and the show is
[43:16] going on right now. So, basically we're
[43:18] like traveling around you know, the
[43:20] states and performing for the kids and
[43:23] teaching them about literacy. Um, and
[43:25] it's such a great such a great
[43:26] experience. Other than I'm still doing
[43:28] P-Star, you know, working on the Tribeca
[43:31] and and movie, P-Star Rising also along
[43:34] with my music, so.
[43:35] >> And then the two of you have another
[43:36] date in Toronto. What's happening there?
[43:40] >> Want me to tell them?
[43:40] >> You wanted to.
[43:41] >> I got you. I got this.
[43:42] >> He's [laughter] got this one.
[43:43] >> Um, we're going to Hot Docs, which is a
[43:45] big documentary film festival in
[43:47] Toronto. It's our international
[43:49] premiere. So, it's the first time we're
[43:50] taking a very New York film out into the
[43:52] world. So, it's exciting for us. We're
[43:54] bringing Priscilla with us and her
[43:56] father Jesse.
[43:57] Um, it adds a little extra spice to our
[43:59] appearance there. She gets to rap right
[44:01] after the show. Um,
[44:03] so people get to really meet her and her
[44:05] father in the flesh after seeing the
[44:06] documentary. So
[44:07] >> do a Q&A?
[44:08] >> Yeah, of course. That's why you're
[44:10] coming.
[44:10] >> All right. That sounds fun, right?
[44:12] >> [laughter]
[44:12] >> So we do a Q&A, but but yeah, so we're
[44:14] going to have two screenings in Toronto,
[44:16] and then we're going to see where it
[44:17] takes us. We want to obviously want to
[44:19] do the world and uh and look for buyers.
[44:21] So that's it.
[44:22] >> wish both of you the best of luck.
[44:24] Priscilla Star Diaz and Gabriel Noble,
