A resolution may be close in the battle to fund the department of homeland security. Senate republicans backed away last night from a bill that partially funds the department. That will not end the fight of the immigration action. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the next steps. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. The idea of even a brief dhs shutdown was making more and more republicans uncomfortable given the threats the u. S. Faces. This means that the ultimate vert verdict on the president s plan granting status to immigrants will come from the courts. The change in course means members of the coast guard and tsa and secret he isservice will likely not work without pay. Mitch mcconnell will not block the immigration plans. This is a way to get this unstuck and move the debate forward. Reporter the republicans tried to pass the bill while holding up money for new programs given some undocumented immigrants the chance to stay in the u. S. Legally. On monday, democrats blocked the bill for the fourth time insisting it be fundsed fully. Our message to the terrorists cannot be we are going to shutdown the department of homeland security. That cannot be the message coming from the senate. Reporter the urgency increased over the weekend. When news broke about terrorists potentially targeting shopping malls. Homeland security secretary jeh johnson said this made it impossible to plan ahead. It like driving across country with no more than five gallons of gas in your tank. Reporter with or without funding, the president s plan remains in legal limbo. A judge blocked the plans last week. The Justice Department is appealing his decision and sought an emergency stay. This could quote harm the interests of the public. We still dont know exactly when the house and senate will vote to fully fund dhs. It will be before friday if they want to avoid a shutdown.

Police say they strapped a fake bomb on an executive and demanded he empty his own vault. Vinita nair is in new britain, connecticut where the apparent heist unravelled. Vinita, good morning. Reporter this is the second part of the convoluted story. According to the police the executive said he was forced to drive to the credit union fearing for his life and the life of his mother. Police lights and sirens lit up the streets of new britain, connecticut. The neighborhood was swarming with s. W. A. T. Teams after a plot involving a high ranking employee. Police investigating a report of a home invasion. Information was developed that linked that incident to the scheme to steal money from the credit union. Reporter two untruders stormed the home of the cfo of the credit union sunday afternoon. They strapped a device to him claiming it was a bomb. Next the invaders tied the bankers mother to a bed, attaching a device to her as well. They allegedly told yussman if he tried to take off the device they would detonate it. He was instructed to drive to the bank and empty the vault and bring the money to them. Yussman was able to alert the authorities to his location by phoning a coworker who called police. Police officers did respond to the credit union where they encountered an adult male in a Motor Vehicle who appeared to have an explosive device. Reporter police determined both devices were fake. The Connecticut State Police bomb squad was able to render the device safe. This person was not injured. The device has been turned over to the fbi. Reporter cbs news had a chance to speak with the executives brother yesterday. He said he had no idea why anyone would want to do harm to his brother or mother. As for yussman, he was taken to the hospital yesterday in handcuffs. It is still being determined his role in the investigation. Charlie. Vinita thanks.

The united Steel Workers represent workers at 65 of those refineries. 15 of them including some other plants, are on strike. 15. It represents. Yikes. As you said 20 . Bingo. Cleanup on aisle two. So thats to give you a sense of the scale. What is the strike about . The strike is not about money. That is the interesting thing. The workers are saying we actually make a good living about 62,000 a year with great benefits. The strike is about really related to security and how they feel about the safety of those facilities. As a consumer why should i care . Does it mean the end of cheap gas . Not necessarily. It depends how long this goes on and how broadly it start to expand. If we are sitting here six months from now and you are really going to care. Right now, the Oil Companies have patched together workers to basically keep the working at capacity. If this were to go on as i said before for a long time or we see 15 plants it is 30 or 50 then we have a different issue. To norahs point about the cheap gas, does it mean the end of cheap gas . I dont think it necessarily means the end of cheap gas. There are a lot of issues effecting gas prices. We switched to the summer blend, believe it or not. I love the summer blend. Less emissions.

I have never seen this. Reporter 19 of the animals recently made their ay into the underground drain, but could not get out. One following the other. There was no place to turn around in the storm water basin. I saw ten of them go back through out. I thought they were coming in and going out. I didnt think anything of it until this. It was terrible. Reporter crews spent the night tearing up the ground and using a backhoe he toto hoist the creatures up. Some animals appeared in distress. After a checkup they were released back to the pond. Fish and wildlife Officials Say the manatees likely became stuck in the canal in the attempt to find warmer waters during floridas cold snap. Workers had checked on them every day and became worried when few of them were missing. You have the community here and agencies working together. That was awesome. Reporter believe it or not despite the ordeal all of the manatees made it out in good condition. The city has blocked the opening to the pipe to prevent anymore manatees. Norah. Thank you.

Several agencies are investigating two companies behind pain cream. The treatment was sold to customers across the country. Jim axelrod is looking into how the Companies Cash in. Our investigation included compounded pain creams being billed for millions of dollars. The creams are made by compounding pharmacies which mix custom drugs for doctors. In this case the combination with a telemarketer added to major bills to medicare and private insurance. Reporter last april got a call about an alternative treatment for pain. What kinds of questions did they ask you . Do i ever have pain . Reporter he gave the caller permission to speak to his doctor. Did you authorize them to seek a prescription . No. Reporter which is why he and his wife were surprised when these jars of prescription creams and gels showed up three months later. Our Immediate Reaction was someone else ordered medication and they sent it to us by mistake. Reporter it wasnt a mistake and their insurance had been billed 2,500 for a pain cream, 3,600 for a migraine cream and nearly 13,000 for a scar gel. 18,680 and change. You must have been stunned. All i saw were egregious billing for something john didnt want we had no idea how to use. We didnt know what was in it. Reporter the call came from a company in utah that went by several names including action medical. Rachael worked in the billing department. You would see bills that you were trying to get Insurance Companies to pay. I would send out claims. I would send it electronically and it would say paid 13,000. It would say on the screen that this Insurance Company paid 13,000 for this persons one month supply of a scar cream and they had 11 more refills available. Western medical pitched the creams as a free benefit paid by insurance. If a patient said yet western medical told their doctor one patient expressed interest in a noninvasive topical cream and sent prewritten prescriptions for the doctor to sign. Why do you believe your doctor signed the prescriptions . We had been discussing the topic of pain and they took advantage of that in the ways that the memo and that fax implied. Reporter sources linked to western medical tell cbs news the Company Collected up to 200 a day billing them for more than a Million Dollars a week. The creams were produced in dallas. Ashley downing and her husband and coowner recently hosted this red carpet event to celebrate their pharmacys multiMillion Dollar growth. Last month we sat down with the downings to ask them about their business. Did you have any knowledge that products produced by downing labs were being shipped to people who havent asked for them and Insurance Companies were being billed at these kinds of rates . We became aware that there were issues being made and that people were not happy. We then sat down as a company and we decided we are no longer going to have a relationship with them. If i am talking to somebody working at western medical and they are telling me that maybe we should just go ahead and just and just what . Just not do this anymore. I was not prepared for this at all. Let me ask you one more question. What is in those creams that is worth 18,000 . We dont determine the formulas on that. You know were done. Or the pricing. The downings said the Insurance Companies set the price. They declined our repeated requests to explain the relationship with western medical. During our visit we saw sales orders for a pharmacy affiliated with western medical for the same products they ship. We are all paying for this. This is not just me and john and our little account. These numbers are eventually spread across everyone in terms of what all of us pay in health care. In a statement to cbs news following our interview downing labs said it did not have involvement in billing or submitting claims and received only the cost of the medication plus a small compounding fee. Through an attorney the owners of western medical declined to comment. After numerous complaints they got the charges to their insurance reversed. Im so surprised mrs. Downing sat down to talk to you. You go one more thing. Why are those creams worth 18,000. Any sense of how wide spread this is . We do. It is as we said the amount of money that is being billed shows that this was not just the only case. We are talking about hundreds of prescriptions a day and a Million Dollars a week.

New questions about what some consider a boondoggle in the sky. The essential air Service Program designed to ensure commercial flights fly to locations. There are more than 100 different routes under the program and most offer multiple flights each day. The cost to taxpayers for subsidizing has quadrupled to 261 million this year. We decided to take a look at what all of this money is paying for. Reporter this 50 seat commercial jet leaves denver twice daily for two remote north dakota towns. When we flew to devils lake north dakota there were rows of empty seats and only four passengers. Not a huge rush to get to north dakota in the middle of the winter. This goes whether full or empty. Reporter the department of transportation shells out over 6 million a year to fund this route, one of 113 servicing rural kmupts. Passenger mark zimmer was on our flight. How much time does it save you in your travels . Maybe about two hours each way. Parking is a lot easier here. It is closer for me to come here. Reporter dick johnson is mayor of devils lake. He says the flights are attracting businesses and estimates they inject 10 million a year in the local economy. The numbers are starting to go up. I think small Rural Communities are a major part of our country. Sometimes you need help from the big communities. It is really a relic of deregulation. Reporter steve ellis says convenience hardly makes the flights a necessity. We shouldnt be making hundreds of millions of dollars to make things a little more convenient for a few people. Reporter Government Data shows on average 44 of the 113 flights flew at least two thirds empty. Among them flights to devils lake. This nine seat cessna flies twice daily. The government kicks in 1. 4 million each year even though there is usually one passenger aboard. Another 2. 5 million goes to maintain flights to and from lancaster, pennsylvania each year even though it is only a 40 mile drive to the nearest airport that serves the same routes. The amount of money this program is costing us has doubled. Reporter trying to ground the Program Since 2011. I view this as a cunary in the coal mine. If we cant cut this perhaps least essential of government subsidies how will we bring spending back under control. He is pledging to try to strip the programs funding during this session of congress. If eliminated the fastest way to devils lake would be to drive 90 miles. Now we know how to get there. Good to have you in the studio. A lawmaker gets a lesson on female anatomy.

A snow and ice storm is making life miserable this morning in much of the south, the east and midwest are drier but much colder. Wind chills are well below zero from chicago to portland, maine. Some highways around dallas froze again last night after a daytime thaw. Some drivers struggled to control their cars and trucks. The region expects another winter storm tonight. Roads and highways often get a heavy coating of brine from a storm. It is supposed to melt the ice and keep drivers safe on the roads. But the ingredients could wind up costing you. Jeff pegues is at an Auto Repair Shop in washington. Good morning. Its going to cost the owner of this pickup truck right here the Winter Weather taking a toll on the undercarriage of this vehicle. And take a look what happened to the muffler here the mechanics in this auto body shop say salt and brine likely caused this corrosion here. This is going to be replaced and then the axle theres damage here and on the back of the brakes we can chip away at all rust. What you are looking at here is potentially thousands of dollars worth of repairs. For weeks, millions of drivers have been navigating through mounds of snow and slush. And roads covered in sheets of ice. Getting around has been difficult. And clearing the roads has been costly for state and local municipalities. An estimated 2. 3 billion is dumped annually on snow and ice control operations. And millions more is spent repairing damage done by snow and ice. But it turns out the methods used to keep you safe on the road arent so safe for your car. A brine solution which is typically sprayed before a storm can corrode the metal and drivers are on the hook for any repairs. According to aaa, brine is the most effective tool for keeping people from losing control on the roads. Its a salt and water solution often combined with magnesium chloride. The acidic compound eats away at parts of your car faster than rock salt. The rusting off here. This mechanic says the damage starts in the undercarriage and then spreads. This truck in particular, its so bad. The shocks are rusting out, the frame, the exhaust is rusted through. Brakes get rusted over, everything is messed up. Aaa says drivers spend about 6. 5 billion every year repairing damage caused by salt and brine corrosion. But before you get to this stage, he says there is a simple solution. Right after a major snowstorm, head straight to the car wash. Thats what paul ararendal did. They do what they have to do. We try to protect the car the best we can. This is the damage caused by salt and brine, especially in liquid form where it can eat away at your car. Thats what were seeing in this situation here.

A new study finds a risk of a heart attack is 8 1 2 times higher after an angry outburst. Our dr. Tara narula is a cardiologist. Anger could potentially create a heart attack. Researchers asked them about their levels of anger within the preceding 48 hours. What they found was that those individuals reported anger levels on a scale of 1 to 7 a 5 or above, meaning they were tense, clenching their fists and teeth and very angry ready to burst, had an increased risk of heart attack by about 8. 5 within the next two hours. So it was really that twohour window that seemed important. Also the level of anger. In addition when they looked at anxiety levels those virds reporting high levels of anxiety were around a 9. 5 increased risk of having a heart attack within two hours. Another reason not to get angry. Anger festers. Thats what was so fascinating to me. You think you can get mad and its over but sometimes it isnt. Thats right.

Youre taking plaques in the arteries that are stable and causing them to get disrupted break open and essentially a clot to form on top and thats when you have a heart attack. As a cardiologist does this come up in your conversations with your patients . More and more as we recognize the psychological effects, we are asking patients about stress level and anxiety. Now this would suggest we should be asking more about their anger levels. Certain things trigger intense anger, right . They do. In this study it was arguments with others or family members that seem to trigger it most. Work anger and driving anger. What kind of others . What do you mean by others . Any others. Family members . Family members. Coworkers . Coworkers. And sauna can do what for you . There was another study that looked at people in finland who used the sauna frequently four to seven times a week as opposed to one time a week.

That is known as the pollyanna principle, tendency to use positive terms. Researchers went through 100 billion tweets and found that our language is largely positive. New york times columnist with the Ground Breaking study. Why is it considered Ground Breaking and were the results a surprise . People had hypothesized that there is the pollyanna tendency. A girl where if someone broke a leg at least you didnt break two legs. Psychologists theorizing we had this and looked at ten languages and found it in every medium people used more positive words. You studied 1. 8 million articles from the New York Times. I think the bias is that the news is negative if it bleeds it leads. Surprisingly every section of the New York Times over all times averaged to 6 where five is neutral. Even the foreign news wars and terrorist attacks was slightly positive. And then the sections about living and weekend and arts were more positive. Even journalists, we pride ourselves on being bad news purveyors but we are pollyannas at heart too. Is social media more negative because you can hide behind a computer screen . Some people are. On twitter it has about the same score as the New York Times overall.

You were breaking in line. I was so irritated yesterday. Why you did find people use more positive language than negative words. There are several theories. One is that more good things happen to you. You probably have more good experiences shopping than bad ones. There is more to talk about really more than that like this girl pollyanna it is a way to cope with bad things. When you get a bad report from the field there is probably a tendency to say what can we do about it . What is a solution to it and turn positive. I know that you did a custom analysis of cbs this morning. What did you find . We found that the show if positive is 5. 95. Among the three of you gayle is most positive. You are all more positive as a whole. Gayle is 6. 15 because you use words like thank you and love and great. You some negative words like accident and nervous. Norah, you were second. You take fight and controversy. And charlie, you were the least positive but you are still more positive than the show. Your average is 6 which is exactly the New York Times as a whole. You use words like welcome, win and super. Those are your positive words. Negative ones are terror, deadly and shooting. My mother said you will catch more flies with honey. We loved having you here.

Season 30 debuts tomorrow. It is the longest running reality competition show ever and helped change the landscape of tv. Reporter it was a social experiment made for tv that became a pop culture phenomenon. 16 americans for 39 days in the middle of the south china sea. Reporter it premiered in 2000 and was an instant sensation. A game.

Reporter the new season comes with yet another twist. The white collar tribe, blue collar tribe, no collar tribe. 39 days 18 people one survivor survivor host and executive producer jeff probst. I love doing survivor. When it started what were your expectations . I heard mark burnett on the radio talking about the show when i was driving in my car. When i got the gig i thought this would be a cool social experiment that a few people will watch. Never dreamed i would be sitting here talking to you guys 15 years later. Why do you think it is successful and how have you been able to make it sustain . I think the success is the format. Take a group of strangers, force them to Work Together and then get rid of each other. I think the reason it is on honestly is execution. Mark burnett taught us how to make this show and how to execute it and gave us the show and left and went on to create the other shows. If you think about the first season of survivor the final episodes, 52 Million People watch it. Those are we dont get those ratings anywhere. I was so naive i had no idea 52 million what it meant. I just thought a lot of people watched. People tell me i remember the night i watched the finale. I remember where i was. I heard the neighbors yelling when Richard Hatch won. The key to success somebody said to me recently in the studio it is the back stabbing that i love. We did a segment that more people are positive than negative. Not on survivor. It is the back stabbing and lying and betrayal. That is where people get in trouble is it is like playing poker but it is human poker. If you walk in going i cant lie you are at a disadvantage because im reading the rules and the rules say lie. Im going to lie but we can still be friends and talk about pollyanna what is interesting is almost always at the end of the season the people who got mad at each other end up making up. One was smart enough to get the Million Dollars. You tried something new this season. Give us a break down. White collars work in offices, might wear a suit and make rules. Blue collars are the heart beat of america, outside maybe in a uniform. They follow the rules. The no collars are the free spirits on the outside breaking the rules. The idea was to put the three of them together. It is three different approaches to life. How do you get the contestants . It takes us all year. Casting is our number one priority. Is there commonality among people who want to be contestants . No. It is an interesting question because we continue to fine tune our casting. One of the things we look at is motivation. What is your real motivation . Is it to be on tv . Is it the money . Is it the experience . What is the winning reason . It is varied. It depends on the person. Are you looking for somebody that is a great story teller great liar . Great story teller. You have to be compelling. Then we look at your site profile and then predict. Gayle will be pretty positive and charlie will be mr. Negative. That is not true. Stop it right now. Simply not true. The interesting thing about this is the prize money has not changed. Its been 1 million since the beginning . I have to go back to charlie. If we were on survivor i am curious if you were offended by what i said or giving me a hard time. Therefore i like that would be offended. And yet john would say you just said in defending it erroneous and not true two negative words. Im never coming back on this show. No jeff. Why is truth a negative word . Im with you. Its not. My point about it. Im with you. Can we Say Something about you that you are an ordained minister . I thought that was interesting. Im ordained from the Universal Church of life which for 25 you can go online and do that as well. I did it to remarry my parents as a surprise for their 35th. Since then i married a few close friends. It actually is a really cool idea because if you think about it a lot of times you get married and go to a church and there is a pastor you dont know and he calls you jeffrey and you are like i dont go by jeffrey as opposed to having a friend do it that knows how they met. It makes it personal. Continued success to you. The show is great. I dont know. We are very lucky in that we have a loyal audience. It turned cbs around. Didnt it have a huge impact . I think it did. I love being on this show. I love the round table. I do. Its a discussion. Its nice. Its very nice. Its a fun day. Positivity all around. Thank you for coming. Thanks for having me. Still looking at me. You can catch the special 90 minute season premiere tomorrow night at 8 00 7 00 central right here.

Risked her life to cover almost every war. She has been kidnapped twice. She shares her journey covering chaos and suffering and finding love in the middle of it all. Reporter beautiful, haunting and informative are just a few wurz to describe addarios work as a photo journalist. Do you think what you do is a calling . I think when i started going to war zones and started covering humanitarian issues it became a calling. Now it is something that fits inside of me every day. Reporter for the better part of two decades she found those voices while covering the wars in the middle east. It turned out the woman on the right was in labor and her water had just broken. Reporter she says the fact that she is a woman gives her access half the population there. We had been air lifted to the side of the mountain. Reporter in 2007 she was with the 173 air borne Battle Company when the taliban attacked. She captured the entire scene including the death of Staff Sergeant who had become a friend. I was crying so hard it was really difficult to shoot. It was just incredibly personal difficult moment for everyone. Reporter she was spending close to 280 days a year on the road away for months at a time. Six years ago she got married but she didnt slow down and even put the idea of starting a family on hold. But in 2011 when she was covering the uprising in libya that all changed. Four journalists, two reporters and two photographers for the New York Times disappeared on tuesday. Reporter on march 16 she and three colleagues were kidnapped. For six days they were tied up blind folded beaten and threatened with death. She was 37 and thought constantly about her husband, paul. I was thinking if i get out of this alive i will try to start a family with paul. Reporter three months after being released she was pregnant. When you found out you were pregnant you said to your husband, paul . My life is over. I think that you said my life is over . Yes. I was terrified. Why . Im honest about it and i think a lot of women are not. A lot of women act like it is the easiest and im going to have a baby and put my life on hold and not be worried about it. You knew it would change your life. I didnt know a single female photographer who covered conflict who even had a boyfriend much less a husband or a baby. There was not one that i could think of. Reporter she hid her pregnancy and ignored the advice of doctors and continued to travel and worked in places like gaza afghanistan and somalia where famine was gripping the country. It was there that she met an 18monthold who was dying of malnutrition in front of his mothers eyes. As she knelt down to photograph him she felt her own baby kicking inside of her. You write it was the most unfair juxtaposition of life and death i have felt since i began my journey as a photographer. It was really hard. It was really hard. What do you say to people that look at what you have done and say here she is pregnant ignoring the advice of her doctor and putting the life of her unborn child in danger . I just ask myself who are these people and what sort of sheltered life do they live if they think that there are not women getting pregnant and giving birth every single day in those countries. Why are they not up in arms about that . It is a double standard. A lot of my male colleagues go to war zones when their wives are nine months pregnant. Why is no one upset about that . Reporter four months after that day in somalia lucas simon was born in a london hospital. When he was 3 months old lindsay made the same difficult decision many new moms make. She decided to go back to work. Are you more aware of your own mortality now . Definitely. Now i say i have to stay alive and how can i cover the story and make sure i can get home . Reporter she is leaving the combat assignments to others for now at least. She is still out there photographing those who need a voice all around the world. It is important to have perspective and to look at what you dont necessarily want to see. She is one of the bravest people i have met. A journalist who travelled with tyler hicks and all these difficult places and kidnapped twice. It is amazing because her pictures tell a story that none of us can tell without cameras. We featured her in magazines. I am familiar with her work. She was surprised by the reaction. You are watching cbs. We will be right back. My name is bret hembree.
