his life on the line early this wednesday morning, october 6th, his life on the line early this wednesday morning, october 6th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs top of the empire state building there. a live look this wednesday morning. good morning to everybody. welcome to "the early show." i'm maggie rodriguez. >> i'm harry smith. >> good morning, harry. the story out of california is nothing short of remarkable. a little girl playing in the front yard, snatched into a truck. 11 hours later, a monowatching tv spots a description of the truck, thinks he sees the truck and chases it down and doesn't quit until the little girl is rescued. you know who joe miller is, tea party candidate in alaska who upset lisa murkowski, the senator there and was assumed was going to just roll back into the senate all over again. well, part of joe miller's success dependent on sarah palin endorsed him. a couple of times miller's been on television on fox and people have said, what do you think of sarah palin? you know, running for president. and miller's been kind of -- >> he didn't return the endorsement sort to speak. >> that's right. apparently todd palin is not exactly pleased with those responses. there is some -- an apparent internet trail causing a internet sensation and we'll delve into that. >> show you the e-mails. it's being called one of the most horrific crimes in recent memory. the first of two trials is now over and the verdict is in. cbs news national correspondent jeff glor in connecticut with the details. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. there was an emotional scene outside court here yesterday after that verdict was read. jurors will now return here on october 18th for part two of this trial. whether steven hayes should be executed. >> there is some relief but my -- my family is still gone. >> reporter: as dr. william petit closed the door on one phase of the case, the lone survivor of a horrific home invasion prepared himself for what comes next. in 12 days, jurors will begin deciding if steven hayes is to receive the death penalty and petit will sit through more grueling testimony about the killing of his wife and two daughters. he was asked how he could push on when they decided to plead guilty, sparing any trials. >> i think that you probably would all do the same thing for your families if -- if your family was destroyed by evil. >> it's mainly going to be the defense putting on evidence of why he should live and there's no limit to what they can put on. the question from the jury does what the defense puts on outweigh the heinousness of the acts? >> reporter: the guilt phase took nine days and jurors took four and a half hours deliberating to find him guilty on 16 counts. petit was asked if hayes still matters to him. >> what matters to me most is my family and my memories of my family and i don't know. over the last couple of weeks i have just kept trying to tell myself that goodwill overcome evil. >> reporter: the evil, hayes and then 44 and joshua komisarjevsky 26 broke into the petit home in connecticut in july 2006. beating william petit with a baseball bat. forcing jennifer hawk we tis to withdraw $15,000 from a bank before strangling and killing her. all three murder victims doused with gasoline before the house was set on fire. >> to pour gasoline on them, to light the house on fire, to strangle and rape the mother, who begged for her life, it is evil incarnate is all you can say. >> reporter: the penalty phase for hayes is expected to last about a week. as for the trial for his co-defendant joshua komisarjevsky won't begin until next year and in two parts. >> jeff glor in new haven this morning, thank you. joining us now is jack ford. jack, good morning. >> good morning, maggie. >> you are an attorney. you have defended five death penalty cases and very familiar with what happens next. what will happen in the penalty phase? >> what you get in the cases are two separate trials. under the umbrella of one. we know that the first trial focuses on whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. what they'll do now is an entirely separate second trial. there will be opening statements by the prosecution and the defense. the prosecution will present evidence here. the defense can if they want to, you have to assume there's some evidence here from the defense, then closing arguments again by both sides. the judge gives instructions to the jury and ultimately the jury comes back with a verdict and a second separate trial within this whole case. >> it is a separate trial but the same judge and jury. correct? >> same judge, same jury. >> does that mean they won't rehash the horrific testimony and evidence again? >> that's a tough case. i've seen cases where the prosecution simply said to the jury, you have heard everything already. there's nothing more to tell you about. so rely on that information. sometimes prosecutors say rely on what you have heard so far and provide you now with the victim pact statements, let the father talk about to them what this has done to him, let the family members talk about what this has done. not every murder conviction results in a death penalty. there has to be what they call murder plus and here among things, talking about the particular heinous and cruel and vicious manner in which the murders took place so the prosecution may bring some more witnesses in. i have to believe you hear something from the family members, the jurors will. >> i'm sure because they could have settled this long ago and where the defendant went to life to prison for life and they wanted to go for the death penalty. >> exactly. >> i'm sure they're going to speak up. what about the defense? will he be put on the stand? >> i did put the defendant on the stand to essentially say, here's what happened. here's why i'm so terribly sorry and basically asking to save their lives. you will probably get some testimony about who he is, what his background is, if he had a troubled past. i would suspect -- he didn't testify beforehand and i would suspect a lot of times that lawyers will keep the defendant off the stand even here if their defense is i didn't do this. you have the wrong person here. they didn't really have that defense. i would suspect you may well hear him on the stand saying something to these jurors. >> all right. of course, we'll follow it. we thank you. >> thank you. >> now back to you, harry. now a controversial e-mail reportedly from sarah palin's husband todd, that is burning up the internet. it was leaked by a left leaning website called the mud flats and causing quite a stir in political circles. todd reportedly sent it to republican senate nominee joe miller whom sarah palin endorsed and it says, quote, sarah put her blank on the line for joe and yet he can't answer a simple question, is sarah palin qualified to be president? i don't know if she is. joe, please explain how the endorsement stuff works. is it to be completely one sided? here now to tell us -- see if we can fathom what this means and how it could impact future races is analyst and republican strategist dan bartlett. good morning. >> good morning. >> we set this up a couple of minutes ago business sarah palin endorsed joe miller, tea party kand did it. he runs over, very closely, very narrow race, beats lisa murkowski and gone on fox and hasn't been able to say how much, you know, profess to sarah palin. >> yeah. it's a kind of interesting deem. on one hand you can kind of feel for todd palin, when the oldest political actions, if i scratch your back, you scratch mine and he's not holding up his end of the bargain but the reason why he's having trouble with this is the same problem that a lot of americans are having is they can't answer that question as to why potentially she's qualified to be president of the united states. and in my observations, watching during the previous presidential campaign is that sarah palin and her camp are extremely thin skinned and if she does plan to run for president, she will have to get used to people like this doing things they don't appreciate but it particularly strikes a cord in your home state of alaska so i imagine they'll somehow try to figure to him back out and bring a qualifying statement for her. >> a thicker hide in order, perhaps. >> absolutely. >> some people suggest this means sarah palin wants to run that. i think i see it like you do. this is about loyalty. >> i think there's a little bit of both. they want to preserve the option to run for president. they want everybody to treat her as if she's qualified to run for president for maximum leverage. whether she uses that leverage to run herself, i don't think she's sent a signal on that but wants to be relevant, a power broker and politics not only for this cycle but more importantly for the presidential cycle. so they're doing everything you would want a candidate to do. and part of that is behind the scenes, lining up as much support as possible. i don't think there is a clear signal of intent to run for office. >> very quickly, four years ago in the off-year election, the amount of outside money about $16 million. up to $69 million now thanks to a recent supreme court decision. this is money raised by groups, nobody has to disclose where it comes from. a lot of it pouring in especially on the republican side. some people suggest that this decision has allowed all this money to come in and literally takes these elections out of the hands of the voters. how would you respond to that? development where we're seeing where traditionally organizations like labor that supported democrats had the ability to have an outside influence on the campaigns and then previous cycles. you are right, this time around because of the citizen you united supreme court ruling, republicans sent up center right organizations leveling the seeing on the republican side and that intensity always financial contributions, whether it be directly to candidates and one of the phenomenons here, harry, the fact there's not a the national party because of the chairman. and they don't want to give the money to steele and now going to places they trust to give it but the bottom line is this is a natural reflection of the fact that republicans are fired up for this election and democrats aren't but no question about it. a lot of outside money. it's going to be the difference maker in many of these states across the nation. >> dan bartlett, appreciate youren sight. thank you, sir. >> you bet. >> thanks, harry. we move to the surge on wall street l the dow skyrocketed yesterday and closed just short of 11,000 making -- best day wall street has seen since may. cbs news business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis at the new york stock exchange. we'll take this surge any day of the week. what is it attributed to? >> reporter: maggie, yesterday put us back in the before may levels and what people are looking at is the main driver is two things. first off, better data from the services sector and potentially more jobs created there and also this expectation that while the government doesn't necessarily have the political will or the motivation to put a new stimulus into effect here in the united states, the federal reserve is prepared to step in and do that and many anticipating that the federal reserve taking the tools and do stimulative action. >> yeah, the fed has been indicating to step in and prop up the economy, but there's a lot of speculation of what exactly ben bernanke will do. what's the options? >> reporter: the likelihood focused on one particular thing and that's to start printing more money, more money in circulation. what does that do? decreases the value of the money in your pocket but it also can increase the value of things around you like your home. maggie? >> all right. rebeck da jarvis, thank you. we'll look for those unemployment numbers out friday which i'm sure will cause wall street to react again. >> all right. erica hill has the headlines. good morning. >> good morning. we begin with breaking news out of afghanistan. this morning, there's word of high-level talks between the afghan government and the taliban. talks aimed at ending the war. afghan president hamid karzai is thought to be taking part in the previously secret talks with representatives of the taliban. "the washington post" reports this is the first time taliban leaders have authorized such talks but meantime in southwest pakistan this morning 20 tankers carrying fuel to u.s. and nato forces in afghanistan were attacked and set on fire. one driver was killed. and if this sounds familiar, it should. it is the sixth such attack by suspected taliban gunmen since pakistan closed a key border crossing to afghanistan seven days ago. the man who tried to set off a car bomb in times square, faizal shahzad will spend the rest of his life behind bars. he was defiant here in new york and when given a chance to speak, had a warning for americans saying, quote, brace yourselves because the war with muslims has just begun. emergency workers in western hungary struggling to contain an environmental disaster this morning. a flood of toxic red sludge burst from a holding tank at a metal refinery southwest of budapest on monday. several towns were overrun killing at least four people. the toxic flood threatens the danube river. we want to get you the latest on the alleged attack on a lake on the texas-mexico's border. there are witnesses now backing up the story. cbs news correspondent don tieg has more. >> reporter: the family and friends of david hartley gathered today in texas tuesday. there to remember the man they said had no fear. and never met a stranger. hartley's family decided to go ahead with the service even though they have no body to bury. mexican authorities will now search falcon lake along the texas-mexico border today looking for hartley's remains with boats an military helicopters. it was five days ago that hartley was allegedly shot by pirates while jet skiing on the mexican side of the lake. >> ma'am? >> yes. >> okay. are you sure that your husband got shot? >> yes. in his head. >> reporter: his wife tiffany with her husband and couldn't save him expressed frustration in an early show interview on tuesday that the mexican government wasn't doing enough to help. >> as far as we know, we don't think they have been looking. >> reporter: on monday, a mexican official seemed to question tiffany hartley's story saying we are not sure. we are not certain the incident happened the way they said. but zapata county sheriff said he has a witness seeing tiffany hartley being chased by men in a small boat and family members criticize what they see as a lackluster search effort by authorities. father dennis hartley told the associated press i don't think at this time mexico is really doing anything. that should change, according to gonzalez who met with mexican authorities last night and tells cbs news they promised to search all day or until they find david hartley. don tieg, >> mid section of the country looks real nice. that's your weather picture, folks. >> thanks, dave. coming up, a little girl back with her family after being abducted. we'll speak with the good samaritan that stepped in to save her. a hiker lost for six days in the hot des sert speaking out about his brush with death. this is "the early show" on cbs.

if so, what is the difference between men's breast cancer and women's breast cancer. dr. ashton? >> the first thing, maggie, most men have no idea that they are at risk for breast cancer. while it's much less common in men than women, it accounts for less than one percent of all breast cancer cases, it can be just as aggressive. the good thing, if you will here, when you are talking about male breast cancer, because men have less breast tissue, it's usually easier for them to feel or, in some cases, even see the lump. the bad thing is that they tend to be embarrassed and might not bring that to the attention of a doctor. but important for men to know their risk factors, family history like for women, obesity, alcohol use because that stimulates the production of estrogen. men have it too and that can trigger breast cancer. so again, awareness and if you see something see your doctor. >> if you feel something, don't be embarrassed. how can men get over that stigma? >> it is really hard. i think the embarrassment factor and fear factor keeps a lot of people from getting help. it is important to recognize, validate you're embarrassed, really this is my problem and push through it and get yourself to the doctor. getting yourself to the doctor and finding out what it is a much better option than waiting and having no choice. >> absolutely. >> it is really important to push through and make that happen. >> okay. we have another question, let's hear from dara barnett in san francisco. >> i have a pretty strong family history of breast cancer. my mother hasn't had it but all of my aunts and grandmothers had it. what age is the right age for somebody like me to start getting mammograms? >> we've talked to much about this and there are so many different opinions. you are a practicing physician. what's your recommendation. >> a couple of things. when you have a quote/unquote family history in medicine we really talk about that is it a first degree relative, which means mother, sister, or daughter. now, if you have other people in your family, aunts, cousins, grandmothers is still relevant, still your family history but not the same increased risk with a first degree relative. >> okay. >> the other thing to remember if you have a lot of breast cancer in your family, genetic testing is always an option and lastly the question about when to start screening there, is no firm guideline for that. what most practicing physicians will say five to ten years before the youngest person in your family was diagnosed. if that person was diagnosed at age 40, we'll start at age 30e with things like mammograms, possibly mris and definitely younger women ultrasound. >> so for dara, what age her aunt or granmother was diagnosed. >> ten years from that. >> let's hair from larry in los angeles. >> as a parent, i would be concerned at what age is a girl capable of getting breast cancer? >> actually, start with you, jen. >> luckily, a lot of parents worry about this. it's very, very rare but last year we heard of a girl as young as age o 10 diagnosed with breast cancer. >> 10? >> ten years of age. and we know now girls as young as 7 years of age can start breast development. so, as they go through puberty, jen and i talk about it all the time when their bodies change is the time you really want to speak to your daughter, girls know about breast cancer because the chances of them knowing someone whose mother is dealing with it, it may be in their consciousness in the background of their mind and can generate anxiety. start teaching them about their body and give them facts so they are not afraid. >> you agree when women start puberty? what's the best approach. >> you have to teach them, even younger having those talks what their body, is how it develops, all those things. you want to talk about what's normal breast development, what do breasts look like, how do they change over time? in puberty, they change a lot. jen and i talked before about the importance of families talking about any sort of history and how that's going to impact their bodies and talk about the fear that might be in there because it does elicit fear all the way around and it's important to keep that communication as open as possible. >> we have another question from california, michelle kirk. >> my question today is for families trying to help one of the members with a cancer diagnosis, when is a good time for them to seek professional help. >> great question, dr. hartstein, what do you suggest? >> i think you have to really know the person who issings inned. so, some people are going to have been stoic and not going to want to go get any sort of therapeutic help or mental health care help but you as the caregiver might need to do that. you have to be aware of everyone's needs and so important to keep that option open, have resources, have support, talk to doctors who have a lot of great support options for you and your family. if you as the care-giver need it or kids need it or family members need it, provide it for them and keep the option open as an open lie doing hey maybe talking about someone about this mortality issue or this question might be helpful. >> also, maggie, a good opportunity to remember when you get that diagnosis, a second medical opinion is always a great idea. >> lastly, a question from twitter. al li son joe rights are there certain lifestyle habits that would help prevent breast cancer? we've talked about this before. bears repeating. >> absolutely. you can't change your family history but can change environmental or behavioral lifestyle habits. diet, low in animal fat high in fruits and vegetables, exercise, even you if don't continue it exercise in the past has a big protective effect on reducing your risk. then limiting alcohol use especially in the younger age group, teenagers shouldn't be drinking at all but young 20s, that can have a protective effect, less alcohol, the better. lastly, breast feeding has a huge and significant effect on reducing the risk of breast cancer. these are all things we can do. >> and should do. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> if you want more information on breast cancer awareness, all you have to do is go to our website earlyshow.cbsnews.com and keep the questions coming, please. erica?
