Israel and hamas agree to a 12hour pause. The military said it would hold fire but would continue searching for tunnels. A push for a ceasefire is just an illusion. Both sides are not prepared to stop this war. Dramatic moment as a s. W. A. T. Team storm a canadian airliner that appeared there was a bomb threat. The kids were scared. I was scared. Two men carjacked suvs and plowed into a group of people killing three children. Were asking for the publics help as there were three males seen fleeing the scene. This wall of dust was almost 3,000 feet tall. The annual lumberjack championship is being held this weekend. Lumberjack and lumberjill compete in log rolling to climbing to sawing. Quite a storm of controversy while talking about an nfl player. All that. Lets make sure we dont do anything to provoke wrong actions. And all that matters. After spending more than a decade in prison this dallas man is officially declared innocent. My father god got me through this. Thats all i got to say. On cbs this morning saturday. This is another week where it looks like the world is just falling apart. Two wars planes falling out of the sky, weird al yankovic has the number one record. Thats as sign of the apocalypse. Welcome to the weekend. We also have a great lineup of guests for you this morning including chef alex garcia. Cuban born and a leader in the latin cooking movement. Theyve been mainstays on the alternative rock circuit for 20 years. The eels perform. Palestinian civilians are caught in the shelling and crossfire. This morning they are observing a ceasefire. The 12hour humanitarian effort allowing palestinians to stock up on supplies and to survey the devastation of nearly three weeks of fighting but time is running out as the two sides were not able to agree on a sevenday truce. And the death toll is rising. Some 900 palestinians and 40 israelis have been killed in the fighting with more than a dozen bodies being discovered during the ceasefire. The battle in gaza continues to spill over into the west bank. More protests and clashes there last night and this morning. A palestinian teenager was reportedly killed during the violence. Secretary of state john kerry is still trying to broker that weeklong truce as a step toward a broader deal. We still have terminology and context and framework to work through but we are confident we have a fundamental framework that can and will work. Kerry is meeting with other Foreign Ministers this morning to continue discussing a longer ceasefire. This mornings ceasefire is also allowing some palestinians to evacuate to safer areas. We have the latest now from gaza city. Barry, good morning. Reporter the ceasefire took effect early this morning but the fighting continued until almost the last possible moment. The gaza skyline at dawn was outlined in the blast of incoming artillery and then in the first hours of quiet, a grim necessity to find bodies in the rubble from days of shelling. Rescuers hurried from building to building working against the clock. Others went to their neighborhoods and pored through debris trying to find what was left in their homes. Some say a few belongings. Some found nothing. And all over the remnants of the fighting. Across the gaza strip, a brief and welcome normal day. At gazas main market so many people that it was standing room only. Farmers from outside the city brought their produce trying to make what money they could when this brief recess from war. It looked like a normal saturday but remember that for more than two weeks this has been a city under attack. People hiding inside houses keeping their children safe. A city that felt vacant. And where people had been afraid to drive, there were traffic jams. Even the donkey carts had a hard time getting through. Lines formed quickly at the banks. People need money for supplies and need supplies for what they know will be more days of war ahead. One man expressed it for all. We hope the ceasefire will continue, he said and not go back to the killing and the destruction. God willing, he added, well have a better situation. The grim toll of death continues in a strike before the ceasefire, one family was hit. 19 members of the family 10 of them children were wiped out. As they go through rubble palestinians say they have recovered more than 80 bodies. Anthony . Barry peterson in gaza city. Nice to see you without flak jacket and helmet today. Lets get more on this. Good morning. We heard in our eye opener say a push for a ceasefire was an illusion. Both sides are not prepared to stop this war. Do you think thats true . Unfortunately, yes. The positions each side has adopted, its so far apart its hard to see even with john kerrys enormous work and sort of remarkable optimism its hard to see how he manages to bring them together. The demands each side are making know this is impossible. Israel wants to eliminate hamas and all kinds of threat coming out of hamas. Thats never going to happen. You can destroy 100 tunnels but the people who built those tunnels will build the 101st and 102nd and cycle will repeat itself. Hamas will not have negotiations until israel lifts the blockade. Hamas has to know thats not going to happen. Its like each side painted itself into a corner of the room but opposite corners. Now the challenge for john kerry and everyone else who is trying to bring an end to this violence is to bring them inches forward towards each other. And thats going to be difficult. Too much blood has been shed and too recently the wounds of very fresh. The emotions are very high. You mentioned inches which is almost what this 12hour ceasefire feels like. Its supposed to be enacted this morning. Do you think hamas will actually stop firing . So far, knock on wood i just checked twitter verse before i came in and it seems to be holding. Hamas needs to regroup a little bit. This has been a terrible pounding theyve taken over nearly three weeks. And israel is concerned they may regroup too much. Right now it would appear as barry reported there, the palestinians who live in gaza are counting the costs a little bit and digging bodies out of the rubble. Well see. Its a little hard to predict hamas. Theyre not a rationale actor, if you like not always. If theres a middle man here and its hard for the u. S. To be a middle man sometimes in this obviously. If theres a middle man and in the past egypt would play that role but its harder now for them. If not egypt, who . Turkey and qatar are speaking for hamas at the peace negotiations. Both sides have some connections and theyre both fairly credible. They have in the past particularly qatar in the past tried to broker peace deals all over the middle east. The difficulty is to know whether a deal is struck and whether hamas, a, will accept all of it because it doesnt have a seat at the table that gives it a sense of a little bit of plausible deniableilitydeniability. Will they live by it . History says they wont. Interesting big picture perspective. Thank you so much. To another major trouble spot in ukraine and new claims that russia is planning to escalate the conflict there. The u. S. And ukraine say russia is now bombarding Ukrainian Forces from russian soil and they are preparing to shift more heavy weapons including tanks across the border. Lets get more from mark albert in our Washington Bureau. Mark, good morning. Good morning. In addition to the new weapons, a key u. S. Ambassador says russia is staging more troops on the Ukrainian Border after pulling thousands back just two months ago. At a Security Forum in colorado on friday u. S. Ambassador to nato revealed an apparent russian build up. Now up again over 15,000 Russian Troops amassed along the border with ukraine. The large amounts of training funding and support russia has given the rebels. This is civil war by proxy if you will. The instability generated largely by moscow and by putin. Reporter it may be about to intensify. The pentagon said friday it believes transfer of heavy caliber utility systems from russia to rebels is eminent. The u. S. Also says Russian Forces are now firing at ukraines military from inside russia which underlined white house calls for new punishment. Press secretary josh earnest. It certainly is the position of the United States that additional costs should be imposed on russia and putin for their actions in ukraine. Reporter the state department thinks sanctions are having an impact on the economy. President putin can become isolated from the Economic System if he wants to continue the escalation or he can do the opposite. In a direct response, russian Russians Foreign Ministry called her out by name saying she chopped a big basket of antirussia cliches as part of a Smear Campaign against russia and that washington shares the responsibility for the bloodshed in full. Anthony . Mark albert in washington. Thanks. For more on whats happening in ukraine, we turn to peter baker, the New York Times chief White House Correspondent in our Washington Bureau. Peter, good morning. Good morning. What does this latest move by putin, the firing of rockets from russia how does that change the situation here . Were seeing this war is turning a proxy war into an actual war. Russian troops are increasingly directly involved and what that does is underscores for europe and the United States the consequences of whats happening there in hopes that Malaysian Airlines flight disaster would force russia to back off. That doesnt seem to be happening. In terms of what the United States can do to level the playing field, the Obama Administration has been very vocal saying they wont match firepower. What can we do to make this an even fight . There isnt any appetite for that. There could be other forms of helping ukraine, intelligence sharing, that sort of thing. The administration has talked about nonlethal aid like flak vests and night vision goggles and its going to be the kind of thing where they have to consider in the days to come whether there are additional steps they can take that might be of an escalatory nature. Is there evidence the sanctions are working . Theyre contributing to a broader sense of instability for russias economy that is in fact hurting russia. Russia does react to sanctions but so far it hasnt changed putins calculus. Can you find something that would change his behavior without hurting european economies which are so tied into russias . Do you think it will take the United States and europe really pushing back for putin to change what hes doing right now . The problem is putin doesnt react well to outside pressure. He tends to react the opposite way. If you push him, hes going to push back. Were in the cycle now where the United States and europe apply more pressure and he sort of defies it and says im not going to give up just because of that. There has to be some way for him to find a face saving way out and so far nobody has found that. Peter baker, thank you for your time. Thank you. The escalating conflict in ukraine adds to difficulty of investigating Malaysian Airlines flight 17 disaster. Mark phillips reports from the crash site. Reporter its the full teams of aviation crash experts and security personnel ever do arrive, it will be a relief to the handful who are already here. The dedicated but small group of dutch, australian and malaysian investigators have been on the crash site for the last few days and learned theres more work to be done to find hard evidence of the cause of this crash. They are also still making more grizzly discoveries. 100 passengers are still unaccounted for. Michael from osce personal belongings passports, i. D. Cards, credit cards, things like that. And the dutch have just documented some very small human remains over there in that field there as well. Reporter they are finding more evidence though of the sort of blast holes through the plane that an exploding missile might make. The dutch say their full team will concentrate on this sort of specific find covering the vast crash site systemically would be too difficult and security arrangements are still uncertain. The issue is whos in charge here . Any deal cut with the Central Government in kiev has zero value here in an area it doesnt control and as for the rebels who do control this countryside, they havent been around this crash site for days. The war between the rebels and the central Ukrainian Government has been intensifying. The window for getting in here to gather evidence may be closing. For cbs this morning saturday, im Mark Phillips in ukraine. Investigators arrived today in the west african nation of mali where a jet crashed on thursday. Its being guarded by more than 200 soldiers from a u. N. Peace keeping force. All people aboard the jet were killed. Many were french nationals. Investigators say the crash was likely caused by bad weather. U. S. Air force f16 fighters escorted a boeing 737 back to toronto yesterday after a passenger was heard making a bomb threat. That suspect is now in custody as bob orr reports. Reporter a canadian man is charged with endangering Public Safety in a bomb scare that ended with s. W. A. T. Storming a passenger plane. It looked like a commando raid. Hefleyavy heavily armed canadian s. W. A. T. Team hustling through the boeing 737 barking orders to the jets passengers including sharon ramsey. They stormed in. It was extremely scary. They came in front and back of the plane. And they yelled hands up heads down, hands up heads down. It was just awful. Kids were scared. I was scared. Reporter sources say the flight from toronto was about 40 minutes into its trip to panama when a passenger allegedly made threats to a flight attendant. According to one u. S. Officials he said i have a bomb and i will blow up canada. The captain of the jet flying at 33,000 feet over West Virginia notified u. S. Officials of the threat and then turned back for toronto. Two f16s on patrol near toledo were redirected and shadowed the jet as it flew back into canadian airspace. Flight 772 with 183 passengers and a crew of six landed safely. Sources say the suspect who has a history of meantntal problems was arrested without incident. Bomb threats are common. Weve heard of five threats against u. S. Transit targets in the last three days. For cbs this morning saturday, bob orr, washington. Philadelphia police this morning are hunting inging for two men that fled after crashing a carjacked people into a crowd of people. Three children were killed and their mother critically injured. Police say the two gunmen forced their way into an suv and drove about a mile before losing control yesterday afternoon. They plowed into a group of people selling fruit to raise money for their church. The father and an aunt of the victims called for the suspects to surrender. Whoever did it, you need to turn yourself in. Thats my son. You took them away from me. Turn yourself in. More than 100,000 in rewards for capture of the suspects. Triple digit heat in Southern California and destructive storms in the great lakes, ohio valley and northeast this weekend. We go to our chicago station for a look. Good morning. Good morning.

Luckily she was able to pull the stroller back from the vehicle as it smashed into the handrail of a building entrance. The suv just barely missed the baby stroller by inches. The driver involved in the accident was taken to the hospital but mother and child were fortunately not hurt. As someone often pushing a stroller, thats terrifying. Our top story this hour illegal immigration and human smuggling. Its also happening in the caribbean where haitian migrants are trying to reach the u. S. Mainland through puerto rico. Human smuggling cases have tripled there. Its right there. Target small boat. Reporter flying over the waters west of puerto rico an agent of customs and Border Protection is scanning the invisible border down below. Every one of those red dots is something thats being picked up by radar. Thats correct. I can pick up very small targets. As small as a coconut floating in the water. Only traffic that goes through here is going to be commercial and sailing boats. Anything else is fair game. Reporter recently he spotted this boat racing toward puerto rico. On board, two dominican smugglers and ten haitian migrants trying to enter the u. S. Illegally but the coast guard stopped them arresting the smugglers and returning migrants to haiti. This scenario is playing out week after week in the waters between the Dominican Republic and puerto rico. The flow of haitian migrants moving through here has soared from just a dozen in 2011 to nearly 2,000 last year. Thats new. Thats something were trying to target. Reporter the captain is the coast guards chief of response for the southeast and caribbean.

Just 22 square miles of desolate pristine paradise. Were halfway between and this is american soil. Its only 40 miles from the dominican coast making it an ideal dropping point for smugglers. Coast guard patrols like this one search the island for fresh landing. On this flight we spotted several abandoned along the shore. Smugglers can make it here in as little as two hours sometimes forcing migrants to swim to whatever bit of america they can reach. They count on being spotted and rescued by the coast guard and then processed by Border Patrol and in many cases released in puerto rico. This man left haiti for the same reason many leave, to find a better life. He says thats why he paid 500 to be smuggled over in january. We were afraid he told me. The boat was rocking. Everybody started screaming. Do you know how to swim . No. Reporter his gamble so far as paid off. Today he lives in san juan. When he stayses is up to u. S. Immigration system but many haitian migrants arent as lucky. Still they keep trying risking their lives to reach this rock in the middle of the caribbean. This stepping stone to the United States.

This week robotic surgery becoming more common in operating rooms for surgeons to rely on robots to do the cutting. More precise and less invasive than surgery done years ago. Hospitals around the country are buying machines and training surgeons how to operate them but is robotic surgery better for the patient . Robotic surgery has become a selling point for many medical Centers Across the country. Last year robots were used in 422,000 surgeries. Thats up 15 from the year before. Todays study compared two techniques for Bladder Cancer surgery. The use of robots and traditional or open surgery, which involves larger incisions and a doctor directly handling the instruments and the organs. Interim results releaseded in a letter to new england journal of medicine showed no difference between robotic and open surgery in length of hospital stay and findings were so clear the trial was stopped early. A doctor is a surgeon oncologist. He led the study. We live in a time where costs are high. Where does this type of surgery fit in . It has to be paramount in Decision Making is does it improve patient care . If it doesnt, costs arent justified. Reporter this man is one of 118 patients in the study. He had robotic surgery. Everyone thinks modern technology will solve most of the problems but in this case here it wasnt much of a difference. Reporter there is a difference in the cost. Hospitals pay 1. 7 million per robot and a 2010 study at one hospital showed robotic surgery for Bladder Cancer cost 1,600 more. Are findings applicable to other surgeries . Thats very important. This was a study of Bladder Cancer surgery and we dont know whether its applicable to other types of surgery and the doctor said we need to do each one of those types of studies to see whats going on in colon cancer surgery and other types of surgery. This is an example in terms of the big picture of technology possibly getting ahead of the evidence that the technology is better for us. The big question is this better for patients . Its sexier. Its interesting. Its high tech. Its cutting edge. Is it better for patients . Even if further studies favor the traditional open technique in some cases, will enough doctors feel comfortable doing it . Thats a big question. The doctor told me the train may have have already left the station training may have left the station. Its possible that years from now not that many doctors will be left to know how to do it the Old Fashioned way. Millions of low back pain sufferers could be in for a shock. A new study finds that acetaminophen is no more effective than a placebo. What does this study tell us . This is really well done and fascinating study. They took a large group of patients who had new onset back pain and divided them into three groups. The first group took acetaminophen, thats the medication found in tylenol. They took high doses or whats considered an extra strength dose three times a day as directed. The next group took tylenol as they needed it and the last group got a placebo pill something that looked like medication but really wasnt. At the end of the study, they found there was no difference between people who had taken the acetaminophen in tylenol and people who had taken the placebo pill. We learned that tylenol may not be as effective as we think it is in treating low back pain. But it also emphasizes the fact that placebos work as well. Thats an interesting study. If were not supposed to take tylenol, what should we take . Tylenol is thing we reach for more as first line agent with new onset back pain there are others like aspirin and ibuprofen and muscle relaxants and prescription painkillers. What we learn now is best treatment for back pain may not involve pills at all. Things like physical therapy, stretching, mass anlage, yoga all of these things are effective. Wall street journal say experts are zeroing in on the optimal night sleep. Seven hours may be better than eight according to several studies while too little sleep impairs performance and memory too much can be tied to Health Problems like diabetes and obesity. The cdc hopes to publish guidelines next year. Tampa bays relief pitcher is on the disabled list this week. Weve been telling you about an outbreak in the caribbean and now on mainland u. S. He got back from a trip to the Dominican Republic with a fever, achy joints and a rash and a blood test will confirm if he contracted the virus transmitted through mosquitoes. How serious is it . You get sick but very rarely is it fatal. You can have the fever. You can have a headache. Aches and pains. Joint pain. Joint swelling. Usually better in seven to ten days but you can have complications that last longer. We had seen this virus was in the caribbean for several months. How is it spreading . Its really about travel is where it all sort of starts. There are a huge number of cases in the caribbean and puerto rico and in the u. S. We have so much travel back and forth so people go to those places and bit by a mosquito, contract the virus and come back here while still sick and we transmit the virus to mosquitoes. They dont just give it to us. A healthy mosquito will bite someone infected and they transmit to their neighbor who never traveled. Its about avoiding mosquito bites and knowing where the virus is spreading the most. New research looks at the emotions of mans best friend. A study found that dogs can be jealous like humans. Nearly 80 of canines barked or pushed back when their owners played with a stuffed animal that looked like a dog. 42 had the same reaction when they played with a jackolantern. No surprise here for me. My 17yearold dog still cops an attitude if i even look at my children. This is the kind of study where people say why waste money and time but authors point out that jealousy is the third leading cause of accidental homicides and thats across all cultures. They use the term to say is this something that goes way back and thats really encoded in wiring and is there something we can learn that will help us in society in our daily activities . It seems like a complex emotion for dogs. Its just a natural reaction. Thank you both very much for being here. Up next the big new player in the smartphone wars. Amazons fire.

Amazons first entry introduced this weekend called the fire phone. A 199 phone with all sorts of features. How does it compare to other smartphones . Dan is here with the verdict. Good morning dan. Good morning to you guys president. I keep hearing about this phone. Its 3d. I get amazon prime. I have other bells and whistles like more storage. What do you think of it . Its a good first generation product in that they tried new ideas. Some will make it to the next version. Some wont. Its a fine phone to use for making calls and surfing the web. A big amazon shopper, it has cool features. Not sure its a phone for everybody just yet. A lot of it feels experimental. It has this feature where you can take a picture of something and try to buy it on amazon. I got a 50 or 60 success rate with that. Feels sluggish compared to other phones because processor is not as fast. I dont love the lower resolution screen. Why did amazon take so long to roll out a phone . They want to get into hardware. Theyre not a Hardware Company but Everyone Wants to be there. They tried tablets and that did okay. Kindle reader did okay. You get to a phone which is hard and complicated to do and you want to rate until youre ready for that. For so many of us our phones have become a camera. This one has four . It has five. Two are for taking pictures and others are for detecting your face and give that you 3d view. It looks at where your eyes are and it shifts the perspective. They call it dynamic perspective. Thats one of the really cool features. Im not sure how practical it is and youll say i want to see this map in a 3d view. Its cool. You get Unlimited Storage for pictures on this phone. Thats a nice thing. Thats not a hardware feature. Anyone can add that to their phone. You have an amazon Cloud Storage and locker and any photos you take go straight up there. I like that a lot. Were you surprised amazon didnt offer a price break over the big guys . Thats the surprising thing to me. This phone is 200 on contract. Iphone 5s same 200. Samsung galaxy 200 bucks.

Not this time now that her doctor switched her to onceaday xarelto® mary can leave those monthly trips behind. Domestic flight . Not today like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afibrelated stroke risk. But xarelto® is the first and only onceaday prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesnt require regular blood monitoring. So mary is free of that monitoring routine. For patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. Xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. Spinach . Grazie plus, with no known dietary restrictions mary can eat the Healthy Foods she likes.

Im Elizabeth Hur our next update is at 8 27. Seem you then. Welcome to cbs this morning saturday. Coming up this half hour one expert calls it shocking. Researchers say the Colorado River basin has lost 17 trillion gallons of water since 2004. What that means for the future. 30 years later we look back at the historic 1984 Olympic Games in los angeles. The event that showcased american champions and saved the modern olympics. Its like pulling the cork on your inner wine expert. A cell phone app that scans the menu to help you choose the perfect vintage. First, our top story this half hour. The battle of gaza. Israel and hamas declared a 12hour ceasefire. Heres the latest. Palestinians are restocking supplies during the 12hour humanitarian truce but time is running short because the two sides did not agree on a sevenday ceasefire. More than 900 palestinians and 40 israelis have been killed in the fighting. More bodies were discovered during the morning. The conflict also had an affect outside gaza. In the west bank more violent clashes between protesters and Israeli Force this is morning. Secretary of state john kerry is in paris after leaving without the longterm ceasefire deal he sought. We still have some terminology and context and framework to work through but we are confident we have a fundamental framework that can and will ultimately work. Kerry and other Foreign Ministers are still talking about a broader truce deal. Some palestinians this morning are moving to safer areas. We have the latest now from Barry Peterson in gaza city. Reporter the ceasefire has been a relief to people who were desperate. They flooded the streets of the city. We went to the main market. We saw all kinds of things for sale. Farmers bringing their produce in hoping to make some money. Things have been closed down for weeks. People out shopping buying the weirdest thing of all weve been driving around the streets empty but today there were traffic jams. There was even a donkey that got caught in all of the mess. Theres also a bad part of all of this. The ceasefire means that rescuers can go into areas that have been hit. They can go through the rubble. They can begin to find the bodies that they couldnt recover before. That process will go on all day long. People are also going into their homes where they were chased away by the war trying to find their possessions. Some people found stuff that they could salvage. Others found nothing. For cbs this morning saturday, Barry Peterson gaza. Ukraine there are signs that russia is upping the ante. Russian troops are being shifted closer to the border and Russian Artillery has been used against Ukrainian Forces batting prorussian separatists. Mark albert is in our Washington Bureau with more. Good morning, mark. Reporter good morning. The pentagon says russias delivery of heavy caliber rocket symptoms to russiabacked separatists is imminent. This comes a week after they suspect an antiaircraft system in rebel held territory shot down Malaysian Airlines flight 17 killing nearly 300 people. Also, the u. S. Says Russian Forces are now firing artillery barrages at ukraines military from inside russia. A half dozen times in the past two weeks. U. S. Ambassador to nato spoke at a Security Forum in colorado yesterday. He said russia appears to be building up troops at the Ukrainian Border once again. Now, about 15,000 strong while still providing rebels large amounts of training funding and support. This is civil war by proxy, if you will. The instability generated largely by moscow and by putin. Reporter at a state Department Briefing a spokeswoman said russia has become isolated due to u. S. Auction s sanctions. Soon after the spokeswoman was called out by name saying she chopped a big basket of antirussian cliches as part of a Smear Campaign against russia and that washington shares the responsibility for the bloodshed in full. Mark albert in washington. Thank you, mark. International crises will top the agenda on face the nation. Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright ukraines foreign minister and michigan representative mike rogers. Southern californians are preparing for triple digit heat this weekend while violent storms including possible tornadoes are likely from the great lakes to the northeast. We go to our chicago station wbbn for more. We have scorching temperatures especially out to the west. Look at some of the temperatures were expecting today around the nation. At sacramento 102 degrees. 107 at phoenix. 94 at salt lake city. 91 in denver. Kansas city, 96 today. We expect 97 for little rock. 100 degrees for dallas. 91 degrees in lexington. So very, very hot temperatures. Along with this a chance of severe that extends from the edge of nebraska all of the way through ohio and moderate risk that takes in Central Illinois and Southern Illinois as well as central and Southern Indiana and the risk here includes large hail damaging winds, and even a tornado. Tomorrow the risk moves east as you can see from vermont to all of the way down into kentucky and tennessee and off to east and moderate risk that takes into account here ohio as well as West Virginia and parts of kentucky as well. So some rough weather is potentially in store for us both saturday and sunday along with those scorching temps. Back to you. Weather satellites are tracking water reserves in the drought stricken west and researchers at nasa and the university of california irvine say they are finding what they are finding is shocking. Reservoirs are running low and underground resources are depleting at an alarming rate. One look at the white ring where water levels used to rise at lake meed reservoir, its clear. The Colorado River basin is drying up. What you dont see underground is even more unnerving. During these periods of drought we hit that ground water supply really hard. It gets significantly depleted. Reporter the Colorado River basin is considered a life line to seven western states providing water to 40 Million People and 4 million acres of farmland. Researchers say its lost almost 13 trillion gallons of underground water in less than a decade. Is there a chance that we could see this underground water depleted . Will it come back . It took thousands, millions of years, to fill up those in the first place and we are depleting them in decades. Reporter across drought stricken California Water shortages are taken their toll. Fresno residents well ran dry a month ago. When you turn that faucet on you always wonder if water will come out. Reporter water rationing forced residents to lay artificial turf or paint brown lawns green. As soon as water sanctions hit and as soon as people find their water bills rising and rising, theyre looking for ways to cut back on their expenses and thats when they start calling. Reporter without significant rainfall and rationing, researchers say the demand for water will outpace the supply that sits above and below ground. Four u. S. Cities are showing strong interest in hosting the summer olympics in 2024 and one of them is los angeles. Representatives from l. A. San francisco, boston and washington met yesterday with top executives of the u. S. Olympic committee. If los angeles is ultimately chosen, it would become the First American city to host the games three times. The last time was in 1984 opening 30 years ago opening this the last saturday in july. They were memorable games. Here to tell us about that is jeff foster Sports Editor for the wall street journal. This is a fascinating games in terms of first. The first time that some athletes were doing commercial endorsements. The first color tv games. Historically how do people remember the games . Could you make the argument it saved the olympics. If you look at three summer games prior to 84. 72 in munich had a terrible hostage crisis. 76 in montreal was a financial disaster. 80 in moscow countries boycotted and then 84 comes in and makes a lot of money and no one really wanted to host it. Los angeles got it by default. And then you look at 92, next time theres a bidding process. Countries are lining up to host the olympics. Everybody wants to do this after they see success in los angeles. How much of the city of los angeles was actually used in those games . The whole city. The Southern California olympics. They had the rowing up in the north almost near santa barbara. They had the equestrian in san diego. They really spread it out. They used all 300 square miles of los angeles which was smart because they were really worried about the traffic and that made things easier. There was no congestion to events in one area. Montreal games lost 1. 5 billion. What did l. A. Do right that led to profits . They didnt build venues. They built a swim center and they had corporate sponsors on two venues like mcdonalds swim center and 7eleven village room. Greece spent a ton of money on venues and never recovered that money. Using the forum and l. A. Coliseum coliseum, that saved a lot of money and corporate sponsors was the first major sports event. The black mark was soviet union, major powerhouse didnt participate. In part retaliation for our not participating four years earlier in moscow. How much did that affect the impact of these games . It definitely affected them. Soviet union had 125 gold medals in 76. East germany had 90. Thats a lot of gold medals that were available in 1984. You saw the americans and a lot of western countries do which better than they should have done because it was watered down. Especially events like soviets dominated like gymnastics and weightlifting. The images we see of these athletes are a flashback. For so many of us, these are athletes that are synonymous with the olympics. Who stood out . Mary lou retton was the first u. S. Gymnast to win. She was a huge star. Carl lewis was a big star. He matched edwin moses feat of winning four gold medals in track. And greg won two gold medals and would win two more and hit his head in 88. He did start in 84. And then Michael Jordan played basketball. It was right before he went to the nba. It was sort of his coming out party for the world as this international superstar. He had been at North Carolina and about to go to the bulls and helped the last u. S. Amateur team to win a gold medal which was a pretty good team. A dream team amateurs. Patrick ewing, Michael Jordan. If only sochi had studied l. A. Dont build anything. Thank you for being with us this morning. Up next being able to tap into your whole brain. Its being tackled in a new movie lucy and well slain akexplain access to your brains full potential when we come back. Youre watching cbs this morning saturday.

Ive never driven before. Great. Scarlett johansson play as woman who ask access 100 of her brain power. Were told we only use a small portion of our brains capacity but is that really true . We have a globally recognized expert in neuroscience. How much of our brain do we use . We dont know. Depends on how you frame the question. If youre framing the question that only 10 of our body is alive and functional and other 90 is dead weight. Thats a myth. If you ask the question whats the maximum potential of our brain, nobody knows the answer. All our brains are primed for superhuman abilities. We have to look at those that can perform mathematical feats, and einsteins. Were capable we havent found how to unlock those powers. Its almost like neuroscience is a different language. Where are we in understanding the brain . Its only in the last 20 years we learned about the brain. People thought there were many regions of the brain that were dead or silent zones. Some part of our history we thought right side of our brain was silent. At one point we thought the frontal part of the brain was completely dead tissue. Now we know that 100 of our brain is functioning. The whole brain works as a coordinated unit but we have a lot to learn. Theres a saying if the brain were so simple that we could understand it, then we would be so simple that we could not understand it. Very good. I like that. If we want to access more of our brains capacity is there actually anything we can do . Right now there are a few simple things we can do. First is believe in yourself. Dont think your brain is this dumb organ. Think of it as a super brain. It motivates us to improve ourselves. The second thing is the brain is an Intense Energy efficient organ. Even though it weighs only 2 of our bodys weight it uses 20 of the energy. Its very important for us to get blood flowing. Exercise. Make sure youre heart healthy. Third thing is get sleep and get some rest because nighttime is when the brain throws out the toxins and archives its memories so rest is critical. The last thing, the brain becomes more efficient the more you use it. Give it a chance. The more you use it the more it will come alive. Is it what we heard, do cross words and puzzles and things like that. Challenging things. Challenge yourself. What is the future . Whats the next step in Brain Science . So right now with current drugs, with current Brain Training exercise we can improve our brain performance 15 to 30 . The next step is to double brain power. Smart drugs. There are some devices coming out. Theres one device that kind of delivers small electrical jolts to the brain that seems to improvefve memory and implanted brain chips and interfaces is the future. How far away is that . 15 to 20 years away. I would think if i could get 10 more and stop losing stuff is the key for me right now. Thank you so much. A pleasure.

My doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia thought to be the result of overactive nerves that cause chronic, widespread pain. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. I learned lyrica can provide significant relief from fibromyalgia pain. And with less pain, i can do more of what matters to me. [ female announcer ] lyrica is not for everyone. It may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. Or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, changes in eyesight including blurry vision, muscle pain with fever or tired feeling. Common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica.

If wine is more your thing, you might be among the majority of us that find it difficult selecting the right bottle from a restaurant wine list. A new cell phone app aims to make anyone a wine expert matching wines with what youre eating and what you can afford. Reporter from the perfect pour to the subtle swirl, americans love wine. Cheers. Reporter in fact last year alone, u. S. Wine consumption topped 36 billion, more than any other country in the world. Matthew richards enjoys a good glass but admits he doesnt know much about whats inside. Youre always afraid of committing to a big bottle that you wont enjoy. Its definitely one of those deer in the headlights when you are presented the wine list. Reporter thats the problem the new mobile app tries to solve. Its called wine glass and it can read and explain almost any wine list in any language. For most of us we sit down and we dont know what were doing. Reporter a former facebook engineer left that company to develop this app after spending years befuddled by bottles. When i look at the wine list my eyes would glaze over. Reporter you werent a wine geek . Not at all. Reporter the app uses optical character recognition to read the text on menus and compare it to more than 1 million different bottles. You can tap through the wines on the list. Reporter users get a description of each variety along with a rating and suggested price point. What this allows is for normal people who havent spent years studying wine to be able to buy that glass of wine that you know is going to be a great wine for your own taste and budget. This one is very light. Reporter at this restaurant in los angeles, they have a certified wine expert who studied wines from around the world. Her job is to help People Choose the best bottle from 46 different varieties. It can just be very confusing because people dont know what the specific wines taste like. Reporter she sees this new app as a new tool. The more information the better. It can really help the diner explore new wines they may not have ever tried. Reporter and while it costs nearly 5 to download its already one of the top food and drink apps on the mobile marketplace proving americans will pay a little extra to ensure the wine they pour is a wine they love. Seems like you can get that money back quickly if it saves you money on the wine. Coming up in castaway the camera showed tom hanks all but starving to death. Hes one actor undergoing amazing transformations for movie roles. Well look at this next on cbs this morning saturday. This is cbs3 Eyewitness News. Good morning everyone, im Elizabeth Hur, a manhunt on right now for two carjackers who plowed into group of people killing three children, then fled the scene. Investigators say two armed suspects forced their way into an s. U. V. , they crashed that germantown and west allegheny in north philadelphia. The childrens mother is in extremely Critical Condition and two other adults were also hurt in this crash. There is a 110,000 reward being offered in this case. Now weather meteorologist Carol Erickson, joining us now from the eyewitness Weather Center liz we are looking at some showers that are moving into parts of the area. I want to show you on storm scan3 right now. We have some clouds, also have the showers and notice, some of them are getting a little heavier in spots through Chester County also maybe another little batch that can hang together and get into kent county, in delaware. Soap, lets zoom in to the ones that we have in Chester County, at this point, and you can see upper uke lands township, down near new garden, chance of shower or thunderstorm today. 86 degrees liz . Thank you carol. Im Elizabeth Hur next update is at 8 57. See you then its a great place to go if you think i wonder what my favorite superhero would look like if they gained 200 pounds. For instance what would superman look like theres one. These are comic con pictures. One of spiderman. Do we have batman . Yep. Theres batman. Batman has to get groceries too. Come on. There you go. We talk about classic movies all the time but some are more classical than others like this one. Well see the rock here. The story gets a reboot in the new movie version of the greek myth. The rock didnt show up on set as usual. Hes playing a god and to look the part he spent 22 weeks in a gruelling training program. For more on that were joined by matt singer. Matt, good morning. Good morning, guys. This seems like a normal thing now. Weve seen so many actors go from heavy to thin and thin to heavy. Is it almost a prerequisite for a great role . It is. It was pretty uncommon for a long time but now it is seen as this indicator not just of the quality of a movie but its importance. Its almost a selffulfilling prophecy. People say if this movie was a piece of junk they would put on makeup and put a pillow under their shirt but look at the sacrifices they made for this part. They ate nothing but used coffee filters for six months. This movie has to be amazing. If it wasnt they wouldnt put themselves through it and lends an air of credibility and importance to a movie. It leads to Oscar Nominations too. 22 weeks. What did the rock do . He was big to begin with. Hes so much bigger in this movie. You see him there. Its insane. He ate seven meals a day. He ate three pounds of meat and 14 eggs a day. Was waking up in the middle of the night to eat and working out around the clock. He didnt sleep. Just hearing that amount of food and exercise makes me nauseous and exhausted. You can imagine what it was like to actually do those things for this movie. He looks enormous in it i have to say. I know during the filming he was making sure he maintained that weight. Its not now i make the movie and can relax. You have to maintain it for eight months. The entire shoot you have to keep doing it otherwise youll be the rock in one scene and look like me in the next. You have to constantly keep it up. He did ive seen the movie. Its a lot of fun. The fact that hes so big lends a certain amount of credibility to this ridiculous stuff hes doing. I believe the rock could knock over a mountain because hes that big. Lets talk about other favorite transformations. 1980 Robert De Niro in raging bull. It was a double transformation. He got in incredible shape to play the boxing scenes. He worked out for a year to be the boxer. They shut down production for four months and he went to europe and went and did nothing but eat and eat and eat and he came back 60 pounds heavier. I would take that part. He won an oscar. Can you imagine getting an award for taking a fourmonth food vacation in europe. Thats a good job. We might be in the wrong field if thats what it takes to win an oscar. Next up tom hanks in 2000 filmed castaway. This one was the most extreme. He did the reverse raging bull. Put on weight first. Gained 40 pounds to play a middleaged guy out of shape and they shut the film down for a year and director went and made an entire movie while he just sat and lost weight. Starved himself. Also added beard and hair. Thats real. Thats not makeup or a wig. That might be the most impressive part of this transformation. Can you imagine going to the Grocery Store with that hair and beard. That cant be fun. Lets talk about matthew mcconaughey. He said i kept losing weight until people started being afraid at how skinny i was. Thats when i knew i hit the nail on the head. He lost 50 pounds. He went down to 135 pounds. He lost so much weight he said that he couldnt see at times. It affected his vision. He couldnt do five pushups without feeling exhausted. And hes playing a man dying of aids. It really lends a credibility to that performance where you see him. Its really shocking and jarring. As dramatic as that transformation is, the most may be christian bales performance in the machinist in 2004. The modern de niro in terms of incredible lengths hes gone to. He lost 60 pounds. His diet was coffee and an apple or a can of tuna a day. Shocking. Hes gone up and down multiple times. Almost as good as dieting as he is in acting. He may want to consider that as a second field. Women are no strangers to dieting. Lets talk about the women and incredible transformations. Everyone thinks of the monster. So glamorous and beautiful when you see her and then really this huge transformation. She gained about 30 pounds and there is some makeup involved. Its really about losing yourself in this character because shes such a glamorous woman that certainly not a glamorous film. To play that part you really have to disguise yourself and shes almost unrobecognizable there. Up next, alex garcia is a leader in the latino cuisine movement. Perfect for sipping. And for cooking.

We wanted to start with a rum thats great. You mentioned that you came from havana. At 11 you moved to puerto rico. Where did cooking influences come from . Just from being proud of being latin. I always was proud to be latin and the passion for cooking came of course from my family and from my grandmother who was the big chef of the family. My dad is still the chef but hes just a showman. Very goodlittle cooking but tons of show. We do a roasted pork thats tradition in my family and every cuban family and he cooks it if you normally cook it for two hours, hell cook it for 20 hours to make it the show is important. Something we know well. Your degree was in hotel and restaurant management. When did you make that transition .
