>> staffing plans, extending hours, recalling staff are all part of what we have in place. >> chris, the hospitals that we've spoken to say they already have made plans to house patients in other parts of the hospital should other parts become overcrowded. but we want to emphasize people having things like chest pain will still be going to the emergency rooms. so in terms of flu symptoms emergency rooms really should just be used for emergencies. >> doctor let's clear up any confusion. exactly how many shots are people going to need this fall? all told. >> well we'll probably get that answer in the next two days here at this conference. but it looks as if the answer will be three. one for the seasonal flu virus and two for the h1n1 virus. that's thought to be because people have not been exposed to it before. so they don't have the natural immune memory to protect them against those viruses. the other thing that's not known, chris, is whether some of those doses could be given simultaneously at the same doctor's visits. you might be able to get the seasonal flu virus and one of the h1n1 doses together. but we'll keep you posted. >> dr. jennifer ashton for us down at the cdc convention in atlanta. thank you, doctor. i hope you like shots because, if you didn't like just one shot every year now it looks like you're going to need three. >> there's another option for children dr. ashton and i were talking about. instead of the shot also possibly get a mist. you should talk to your pediatrician because a lot of parents are hesitant to go with the shots. >> doesn't help us adults though. >> no it does not. >> let's check in with russ mitchell at the news desk. today the cia inspector general releases a report detailing alleged abuse of terror suspects in cia prisons. it details how agents threatened "uss cole" bombing suspects with a power drill to make them talk. meantime "the new york times" says the justice department wants to reopen the cases reversing the decision of the bush administration. president obama and his family are vacationing on martha's vineyard this morning. there is no escaping the debate over healthcare reform. cbs news white house correspondent chip reid is on martha's vineyard. chip, good morning. >> good morning, russ. healthcare dominated the sunday talk shows, but for once we don't know if the president is paying attention because he is on the first real vacation of his presidency. the first family arrived here sunday afternoon. the mostly liberal summer enclave off the massachusetts coast is friendly territory for the president, who's taking a break from the fight for healthcare reform which continues despite his absence. >> the president clearly knows a public option a public insurance option is necessary for real reform. >> the president has told me a lot of times he wants bipartisanship, and part of the problem is you get conflicting signals out of the white house. >> reporter: the blue heron farm, a secluded 30-acre estate that boasts its own basketball court and putting green, is where the obamas will be living this week. the president has no official events scheduled, but vacationers are hoping to catch a glimpse of the first family. >> yeah that would be awesome. >> i think it's really going to bring a good boost to the economy, especially being the end of the summer. >> reporter: now one thing that's going to give a huge boost to the economy is all the obama paraphernalia that's dominating all of the store windows around here. it's not just t-shirts it's baseball caps and magnets and coffee mugs and glasses. and restaurants are selling the baracko taco. restaurants are selling ale to the chief. and all of it is selling like crazy. if the president wanted to find someplace he'd be welcomed with open arms he sure found it in martha martha's vineyard. >> part of the martha's vineyard stimulus plan i guess. fire crews are launching an all out assault on wildfires in greece this morning. about 37,000 acres have burned in the northern suburbs of athens. thousands have been evacuated. more than a dozen water dropping planes resumed operations today to fight the planes. in santa barbara, california, a small plane made an emergency landing on a busy freeway. it landed in oncoming traffic yesterday after the pilot told air traffic controllers he was out of fuel. the plane collided with three cars, but amazingly no one was haurt. in baseball, a rare unassisted triple play. phillies second baseman eric bruntlett caught a line drive, take a look stepped on second ask tagged out the third mets runner. it's the 15th unassisted triple play in baseball history, and only the second time it ended a game. the first one was some 82 years ago. phillies won the game 9-7. pretty cool. it is coming up on 7:12. dave price is off this morning. mr. lonnie quinn from "the saturday early show" has your first check of therlrlrlrl weather. >> i've got to tell you, russ my favorite part of the news block. it sits and resonate ins my head. the baracko taco. you know what else i like?

at any point did you think my life might be taken in trying to do my job here? >> no my main concern was getting the people out of the water. i feel that's what most of the boat crew on board, the 47 motor life boat was concerned about, just getting those individuals out of the water and getting them to safety. >> petty officer hatch, let me turn to you. can you describe to us the condition that the survivors were in as they were being pulled onto your boat. >> yes, julie. the condition of the survivors were obviously hypothermic. the water temperature here in this location in maine rarely exceeds 59 to 60 degrees. so the hypothermia was obviously a concern. both victims were very pale. their symptoms of hypothermia. skin was cold to the touch. all those things were signs. the female the first female we pulled on board, i believe she was 14 years of age. she also showed some minor signs of shock. we immediately started treating for shock. and she actually did recover. so the well-being of the individuals was obviously our utmost concern while on top of that looking for any more people that might have been in the water. we did make every attempt to save all lives that day. our only regret is that the 7-year-old girl didn't make it. >> yeah. absolutely. gentlemen, do you -- do either of you think that this observation deck should have been closed or off limits to tourists yesterday? or was what happened just so unimaginable that no one could have foreseen it? officer hatch? >> well the park rangers were on scene and were doing their job that day. they definitely had signs posted for safety concerns with the sea conditions and with the hurricane bill being close to shore. here in maine. personally, the location -- >> go ahead. >> the location where these people were they were actually behind the parameter that was closed off for this area. >> we wish we could have had a better ending. gentlemen, we are out of time. i do not mean to cut you off. thank you. we'll be right back. >> announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by mastercard. there are some things money can't buy. for everything else, there's mastercard.

>> yes, in many ways. all of us go through trials and instead of sitting back she stands tall takes it with the confidence of self-awareness and a clear sense of right and wrong. >> tell us about that conversation when she told you. >> it was heartbreaking. mark's the last person on the planet we thought would have -- >> were those her words too? >> absolutely. >> what did she say to you about it? >> everybody was shocked. and she -- i think it was easier that she knew about it months before it went public. and i think it would have played out differently had that not happened. but, again, the last person you'd ever expect this to happen to. >> i mean they seemed like the perfect couple with beautiful children, and his star was rising politically. so everybody was shocked. but she's doing great. we're here to say that she's really doing great. >> how did she find out about it? >> she found a letter. >> from her to him? >> one or the other. >> confronted him, and then what happened? did he not deny it? >> he didn't deny it no. >> and in the months before we knew what was the focus of their marriage in those months? after she found out about the affair, before everybody knew about it. >> she's got this amazing capacity for forgiveness and very quickly said i can forgive adultery but i cannot condone it regularly in a marriage. that strength to be able to see that so quickly. >> so for him to take that trip to argentina after they knew isn't that surprising? she had said i don't condone this, and he did. >> yeah, absolutely not. she did not know where he was, but they were, you know in a trial separation and she was with the boys. so how could she know? >> are you surprised that she was not like other political wives we have seen standing right there next to her man at that news conference playing the role of the good wife?

>> she's giving it her best shot. >> she's giving it her best. she wants to be able to look her kids in the eye, as she says and know that she did everything she could to heal the marriage. you know she's able to look at the big picture and the whole sweep of her life. and if it's possible, she wants it to happen. >> virginia you are the godmother of one of her sons. >> both of them actually. >> how are the boys doing?

>> i think we're seeing more and more of the use of adhd drugs in general because of increased awareness of children that do have problems with attention, and i think parents want to help them to maximize their performance. the more we prescribe the medication the more it's sort of out there in the community, and the more there's a risk for abuse. >> what kind of high are these kids getting from these adhd drugs?

but now i trust my heart to lipitor. when diet and exercise are not enough adding lipitor may help. unlike some other cholesterol lowering medications lipitor is fda approved to reduce the risk... of heart attack, stroke, and certain kinds of heart surgeries... if you have several common risk factors... or heart disease. lipitor has been extensively studied... with over 16 years of research. lipitor is not for everyone including people with liver problems... and women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. you need simple blood tests to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you are taking other medications or if you have any muscle pain or weakness. this may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. i learned the hard way. but you may be able to do something. have a heart to heart with your doctor... about your risk. and about lipitor. the manhunt for reality show contestant ryan jenkins ended yesterday when he was found dead in a canadian motel, an apparent suicide. he was wanted for brutally killing his ex-wife model jasmine fiore. joining us now is michael welner, one of the country's top forensic psychiatrists. good morning doctor. >> nice to see you. >> when i first heard about this, how it ended, i'm from south florida, i immediately thought back to versace's killer, who was the subject of a nationwide manhunt, found on a boat where he committed suicide in miami beach. >> there are certain similarities. he was a product of this celebrity culture. he attached himself to the high life and he targeted eded gianni versace because he put himself in the high life. the same vanity that targets celebrity and the same vanity that puts yourself on a reality show to search for a trophy wife is the same vanity that says i do not want to be caught as a murderer. i'd rather die. cunonan was not going to be caught alive as a murderer. it was the same vanity as not wanting to be put out there as public enemy number one. >> people keep hearing he's a reality show star. he was on the show "megan wants a millionaire" for vh1 that will never air. vh1 decided to cancel. >> it's pathology. what a s. a reality show star? who are the people that attach themselves? they actually aren't reality. they're people who have an emptiness that they want to fill with something that's very shallow and very trophy like. this is the kind of tragedy that fathers should talk to their sons about, being able to learn about how to tolerate rejection. and that women should talk to their daughters about staying away from men who value them as trophies who can't handle the rejection of it when it ends because these are the cocktails that end in domestic violence, and this is an ultimate tragedy. >> but this seems like someone who had mental issues problems far beyond that. to cut off somebody's fingers. >> well you know there are two things. first of all -- >> to take out her teeth so she wouldn't be identified. >> there are two things here. first of all, the mental issues of the reality show. we value celebrity. we create people who are obsessed with getting a blond who wants a millionaire. so we give a lot of attention, and we create stars. and people develop their whole identity and themselves around being seen and being known. when it comes to the cutting off of the fingers, listen, when i started in forensic psychiatry, if you heard a crime like this you would figure that it's somebody who was schooled in prison about how to keep themselves from getting caught. people are now home schooled on being a criminal from primetime dramas. they learn. they learn from what they watch how to conceal a crime so they are not going to get caught. there's a responsibility issue. what are we teaching people? why is it that 14-year-olds know how to keep from getting caught how to hide a body? is this what 14-year-olds should be learning? this is where he learned it. he didn't learn this in custody. he didn't learn this as a hardened criminal. and yet he knew what to do and he was cold enough to treat someone whom he loved in such a dehumanizing way. >> the disturbing all around. dr. michael welner thank you. appreciate your insight. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. ♪ oh ♪ announcer: say hello to the can-doers. - the budget masters. - ♪ yeah yeah ♪ the knock-out artists who are finding more ways to spread their dollar further. - to bolder color in less time. - ♪ are you feeling it?

>> exactly. >> dead on. no pun intended. >> that's very nice. >> favorite vampire movies? >> who liked vampire movies here? >> me, obviously. >> i will say that "true blood" series is fantastic. from a movie standpoint, i don't know. >> i don't think i can really jump on the bandwagon. >> it's obvious i'm into "twilight." but it was brahm stoker's "dracula" and "blade." >> when they asked us our favorite, i would be willing to bet that julie and i would have the same favorite because we're from the same generation graduated high school the same year. jules, was yours "lost boys"?

>> i'm like you, chris. not a big vampire movie. what i told our producer kate gibson i said "american werewolf in london." russ that's not a vampire, that's a werewolf. >> she hit reply all. russ as the name implies, that's a werewolf movie, not a vampire movie. >> she asked me and i said "top gun." that's not a vampire movie. >> what did you really pick? >> put your picture up and you can have your jokes. >> george hamilton. >> "love at first bite." susan st. james right there. >> you recognize how much you look like him, right? >> that familiar pain in the neck meets your funny bone. i met george hamilton once. >> you're not acknowledging this. you look a lot like him. >> with a tan. >> and the hair. >> there's always a part down the middle. >> when i used to work at e.t. i interviewed george hamilton once. how come you always tan? what's the deal? >> here's my secret. before i do a "tonight show" or regis and kathie lee, i like to do what they call topping off. so he tops off all the time. >> thank you, george. >> here's to that. we'll be right back. . hello again. it's 25 minutes affidavit 8:00. a lot of problems right now on 95. first of all, take a look at this picture. 95 at o'donnell street the southbound lanes. we have an accident blocking the two right lanes at white marsh boulevard. and in the northbound lanes we have an accident blocking all the main lanes, only the shoulder getting by with a backup to the beltway. and there's a backup on ricers town road at 140 and brian daniel road. there's a live look at 95 and you're looking at big delays there. this is brought to you bit maryland department agriculture. marylands best.net and now over to marty and don. let's take a look at first warning doppler radar. we've been watching showers. i could back this up 60 frames and could you see the entire morning past before your eyes. showers and strong thunderstorms. we had a couple of thunderstorm warnings out there in st. marys and suffix. once the action gets out of here you'll see the same forecast, partly sunny skies with a high of 85. and there's your afternoon 30% chance of an afternoon thunderstorm. and altercation of the police at the hinn near harbor lands a baltimore ravens prospect in the handcuffs. >> reporter: as the ravens gear up to face the jets tonight, one of the prospects is ayou cooed of unnecessary roughness off the field. 27-year-old tony fine was arrested sunday night inside the light industry pavilion. moments earlier security spotted fine passing a subject thought to be a gun. moments later it was found to be nothing but a cell phone. he was carted off to central booking. the ravins released a statement saying there are two sides to each and every story and that tony fine will have his day in court. the trial of three mane accused of murdering councilman harris is set to begin today. they're all facing first-degree murder. the police say that they shot harris after they fled from a robbery last november. michael pheps said he never quite raced a man like this we'll shaqueel o'neal. it's called shaq versus. a rough road game for the orioles as they visit chicago. they win 5-4. it's the orioles first welcome back everyone. the only person excited in that crowd besides the running man, the guy with the yankee jersey right behind me. >> is he happy. >> big series this weekend, yanks taking 2 of 3 from the sox. wicked hot right now, yanks ahead 7 1/2. i'm chris wragge with maggie rodriguez. julie is in los angeles this morning. this half hour he annoys she blogs. >> match made in heaven. >> we'll meet a wife who's airing her husband's dirty laundry on the internet for all the world to see and hear. there's the happy couple right there. >> you don't do anything that i can tell that's incredibly annoying. >> it's early. >> why are you laughing lonnie?
