on topic. on topic. on topic. on topic. next question. captioning funded by cbs welcome to "cbs this morning." more than 2 million people in the eastern u.s. are waking up to another day of no power and high heat. one more round of powerful storms rolled through the mid-atlantic region overnight ending a weekend of extreme weather which now is blamed for at least 17 deaths. three of those were reported on sunday after a sudden storm hit north carolina. even where it wasn't raining, there was record breaking heat all weekend. nearly 30 cities recording 100 degrees or higher on sunday. over the weekend, nashville, tennessee and columbia, south carolina both hit 109 degrees, setting all-time records. areas from indiana to virginia really got the worst of the weekend weather. a violent storm system formed around chicago on friday and then moved east packing winds up to 90 miles an hour. three days later, there are still widespread outages in virginia, maryland, washington, d.c., ohio, west virginia, new jersey and indiana. power officials say some areas may be without electricity for several more days and there are more storm watches up this morning in the deep south and also along the ohio valley. >> federal offices in washington will be open today, but nonessential workers will be allowed to stay home. in maryland, the governor's also giving state workers the option of staying home. sharl sharyl attkisson is in maryland. >> good morning, jeff and erica. we're at a neighborhood nowhere close to getting its power back on because you can see the giant tree that's fallen on the power lines here and nobody has touched it apparently since thursday night. according to the power company, it will be friday night late before most of the affected people have their power turned back on. throughout the d.c. metro area, hundreds of thousands of people are facing a third day of sweltering heat with no electricity. >> we are out of power, absolutely and out of air conditioning especially. >> gary hines charged his computer and cell phone at a sports bar in fairfax, virginia sunday. it could be days before his power is fully restored. he's more worried about his neighbor's son. >> we have a neighbor whose son has bad asthma and he has a respirator sort of thing that he has to use at night. they're running it off a generator now. who knows how long that will last. >> across the region, residents did whatever they could to deal with the inconvenience. cramming malls, stocking up on ice and in some spots waiting in long lines for gas. >> we went to one gas station, we thought oh, this is great. with you it was -- there wasn't any power. >> a violent weather system swept in without warning and traveled about 600 miles in hours packing hurricane-force winds. >> the truth is, when a catastrophic event like this hits and when you have 70 mile an hour winds and heavy rains, there are going to be outages. >> pep coe region president graham says his crews are working around the clock to restore service to the d.c. and maryland area starting with critical facilities like hospitals and nursing homes. that's not stopping maryland's governor from keeping up the pressure. >> nobody will have their boot further up their backside than i will to make sure that we get there. >> a remark that didn't sit well with graham. >> does it make me work harder or make my company work harder? we're already working hard. >> and getting help from power crews from as far away as oklahoma and canada. >> now the neighbors have told us this is actually a cul-de-sac being blocked by the trees and living back there are some elderly people as well as a family with a disabled family member who haven't been able to get out since thursday. we've seen people go back there and check on them. the main power company, pep coe, will invest $910 million in infrastructure improvements over the next five years. much of that spent on trimming trees. jeff and erica? >> sharyl attkisson thank you. we have more information about the supreme court ruling upholding president obama's health care law. the court was initially set to reject the key individual mandate and possibly the entire law. then apparently chief justice john roberts changed his position. >> it is rare for in kind of information to come out of the supreme court. jan crawford is in washington with the new details you will hear only on "cbs this morning." so, as jeff mentioned about chief justice roberts, changing his mind, what happened jan? >> that's what everyone is trying to understand and figure out and the conservative justices according to my sources are saying they're unsatisfied with his explanation for why he shifted his views. initially, as jeff explained, he was with the conservatives to strike down the mandate. that was the heart of this law. my sources tell me this morning that he wasn't prepared to go quite as far as the other conservatives and strike down the entire law. they believe the entire thing had to go. he was just going to carve out kind of one part of it. the key part of it. at any rate, as this kind of continued, he then started to change his mind, see new provisions in the constitution where this law could actually be saved. he then formed this alliance with the liberal justices providing the key fifth vote to uphold the president's signature achievement and then, erica, what's so fascinating, these inside dynamics is that he withstood this furious campaign by the conservatives to bring him back on board. but he stood firm, the president's health care law survived. >> jan, you wrote a book on the supreme court. you know that it's typically waterproof twh it comes to leaks. i'm wondering how unusual is it and are you surprised all this is coming out so quickly? >> i am. i am. typically, these things can take if not months, years, at least weeks. last time there was a huge leak controversial slip in a case was back in 1992 when justice kennedy, a moderate refused to overturn a woman's right to a borpgs. that leaked out after a month or so to people close to the case. in this case, there are so many people inside that courtroom, secretaries, law clerks, chambers aides, the justices themselves who know about this unusual shift and many of whom are quite upset about it. in these circumstances, sometimes people are willing to try to explain what happened. they also believe there were leaks before roberts switched his vote to try to put pressure on him. that is also upsetting a lot of people because they believe there were earlier leaks in this case to influence the kmechief justice. >> fascinating information in the article you filed. jan, thank you. the fallout from the supreme court decision continued over the weekend in washington. speaker of the house john boehner vowed to repeal the law during an interview with norah o'donnell on face the nation. >> the house already voted some 30 times to repeal or defund this law. what's one more going to do? >> one more time. >> what's the point? >> we want to show people we are resolved to get rid of this. >> why not work with it rather than repeal the whole thing? >> no, no. this has to be ripped out by its roots. this is government taking over the entire health insurance industry. the american people do not want to go down this path. >> with us now, major garrett, white house correspondent for national journal. good morning. >> good to be with you. >> good to have you with us. we heard speaker boehner this has to be ripped out by its roots. is this risky for republicans to be focusing on this? >> they do not believe so. they believe tea party supporters demand this rejection of the health care law and they believe independent and swing voters will be persuaded if they're unhappy about the economy, one thing that's holding the economy down is this. bl that's true or not. they're going to try to make the case. >> it's one thing republicans hammering this, it's another mitt romney what he passed in 2006. >> talk about it's pli indicated. his history in massachusetts. if he has a signature it's the health care law. those that wrote it in the white house, some say our model was the massachusetts health care law itself with an individual mandate, with a penalty or a tax higher, more con fiscal ka torrey, that's a conservative word. >> large word on a monday morning, major. >> than the president's penalty or tax to impose that individual mandate. romney has to explain as mitch mcconnell the senate republican leader, he has to speak for himself. don't ask every republican to carry mitt romney's extensively and heavy baggage and mandate. >> democrats, interestingly, want to distance themselves from this and move forward. >> yes. in hockey, if a goalie makes a great save, it's a beauty and you keep on with the game. what the supreme court did for president obama is a kick save. they didn't lose the law, but they protected with a tax and new line -- democrats will say, what the country cares about is whether anything substantially changes. it carries on with its implementation. let's talk about the political focus which is the economy. republicans will try to tie them together. democats would like very much as i wrote in national journal last week to move on and move on rapidly. >> as part of that, is that because of the word tax? >> not just that. tax doesn't help. but the law itself, until it's fully implemented, at least democrats believe this and the white house, will not become -- one thing learned by the white house, to its dismay, it's been unpopular. in two years it will be really popular. it has not moved. there's been static movement in the polls on this law for two years. the country heard about it for two years and still net net, don't like the larger thing. the stuff that jan talked about with the supreme court, the warping of sfuginstitutions bec of this heavy freight may be a drag politically. >> on the subject of taxes, there are growing reports from both sides that the bush tax cuts, they may let them expire at the end of the year. does that happen? >> right now, anything regarding the end of the year is possible. everything is an abstraction and everything is theoretical. nobody knows who is going to win. everything depends who wins. if they hold the house, win the senate and elect mitt romney. if the president wins and democrats hold the senate or get the house, or combination of that, the president will set his own course. i can't see a scenario right now where the bush tax cuts expire without something coming right after it. right after it part is the difficult park. legislating tax reform is extremely difficult. it will take months and months. i don't think the economy and wall street and small businesses is interested in washington telling them you won't have tax cuts. you'll have tax uncertainty. everything right now is theoretical. >> major garrett, nice to see you. now to the stubborn western wildfires. a firefighting plane went down in south dakota last night. three people were rescued and being treated at a hospital. colorado springs firefighters have gained ground on the fire that destroyed 350 homes. on sunday, hundreds of evacuees were allowed to look at the damage. anna werner is in colorado spring. anna, good morning. >> good morning, jeff and erica. one of the neighborhoods hardest hit was a subdivision called mountain shadows. many of the homes there were simply incinerated. when you see the fire that descended on that neighborhood, you can understand why for many residents who went back there was nothing left in what is now the most destructive fire in colorado history. 11 active wildfires continue to burn more than 165,000 acres across the state. some of those fires started seven weeks ago. one of the worst, the waldo canyon fire in colorado springs. >> i was standing right up in that area. >> wayne shot this video of the fire as it approached the mountain shadows neighborhood. >> i could see the fire come over the top of the ridge and within a period of about six minutes, it went from the top of the ridge almost down to the neighborhood. >> on sunday, residents finally saw what was left of their neighborhood. >> victor malone and joanne moved her just a year ago. >> this was a bird feeder we got from the realtor. ashes to ashes. >> they had seen an aerial photo earlier in the week and knew the house was gone. but even still. >> it was hard. it was hard. >> i mean, you think about it and then it just kind of takes your breath away. you're like wow, it looks as bad as in the picture, even worse. >> 14 homes stood on their street. now there are none. joanne found a treasured gift from her mother who passed away in 2007. a coconut greater made of iron that survived the heat. >> i'm so happy we found it. >> where the piano had been, there was victor's trumpet. >> that's a keeper. >> hot? >> hot, yeah. >> but the wooden grandfather clocks and the family chest from the 1840s are gone. turned to white ash with the rest. >> you can't believe it. there are no words really that can describe it other than it was -- it gets you. it really does. >> joanne and victor say they plan to rebuild and that many of their neighbors plan to rebuild as well. they're going to have to wait. even though this fire is 55% contained, it's still burning it still presents a potential danger to other neighborhoods. jeff and erica, back to you. >> anna werner, thank you. there is major news out of mexico in morning. the long time ruling party that was thrown out of power 12 years ago is ready to take over again. the initial vote count shows presidential candidate pena knee a toe won sunday's three-way election with 38% of the vote. his party controlled the government for 71 years before losing power in 2000. bill whitaker is in mexico city this morning. bill, how significant is this shakeup? >> reporter: good morning, jeff. this is very significant. the people of mexico booted out the institutional revolutionary party 12 years ago for being corrupt and high-handed and they were sick and tired of them after being in power for so many years. after 12 years with this party out of power, this country has been on an economic and social roller coaster. and people here are just sort of weary of all the ups and downs, especially the war on drugs here that has taken so many lives. after 12 years, the pri is not looking so bad to them anymore. they voted them back into office. >> bill, let's talk about that drug war for a second with the outgoing president supported so vigorously. what does this change mean for that? >> reporter: well, that's really up up in the air right now. the people will tell you that security ending this violence is the number one priority. through this campaign, the candidates rarely talked about it. and when they did, they said things like, well, we're going to stop the violence. we're going to put an end to this war. no one ever came up with any specifics. i think right now the people are just hoping that whoever comes into power can stop all of this violence. as i said, with the pri having been in power for 71 years, they're hoping that they can bring some stability to this country once again. >> bill whitaker in mexico city. bill, thank you. time for a look at some of the headlines around the globe. the guardian says the chairman of britain's bank resigned. barclay was fined for trying to rake interest rates. he apologized and said "the buck stops me." the washington post looks at tiger woods winning the at&t national. he's the first golfer to win three pga tournaments this year. he's now second on the all-time tournament list passing jack nicklaus with 74 career victories. woods is also on top of the pga money list for the first time in nearly three years. usa today reports retailers are seeing a spending fizzle. 21% of americans don't plan to celebrate independence day according to a poll from visa. compared to 18% last year. the l.a. times says a runoff will settle a third place tie in the dash. it comes nine days after the famous photo finish. the winner will qualify to run the 100 meters at the london olympics. >> no coin toss. george w. bush's presidential library is beginning the monumental task of sorting through 200 million e-mails from the first complete presidency in the internet age. experts warn that could take up to a thousand years to properly archive every last e-mail from this national weather report sponsored by cit. thank you cards. army sergeant robert bails is charged with killing 16 civilians in afghanistan. his wife says he would never do that. this morning, we'll ask what she's hearing from her husband in her first live tv interview. sources say al qaeda has a plan to blow up an american jetliner in mid-flight maybe before the olympics. they believe the bomber is a norwegian man who could be hard to catch. john miller looks at the effort to find him ahead on "cbs this morning." this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by hershey's. hershey's makes it asa more. you make it special. that brings people together. hershey's makes it a s'more... you make it special. pure hershey's. mid grade dark roast forest fresh full tank brain freeze cake donettes rolling hot dogs bag of ice anti-freeze wash and dry diesel self-serve fix a flat jumper cables 5% cashback signup for 5% cashback at gas stations through september. it pays to discover.

>> he's pretty good. keeping a positive attitude in the hopes that everything comes out in the end that we find the truth. and that -- you've never actually asked him about what happened. why is that? is it that you're not ready to hear it or been advised not to? >> i don't need to ask him. i know my husband and it's not a question i really need to ask. i know him. i know what he's capable of and not capable of. i don't need to ask the question. >> kari, i'm sorry, what was lifelike before this happened? >> life was pretty busy before all of this happened, too. i work full-time and i have two kids, a five-year-old and a two-year-old. pretty busy working with all of that. things just got more busy with all of this. >> what happened? when you heard? >> i was completely shocked. and didn't believe that they were telling. didn't believe that it happened. didn't believe that my husband was involved at all. >> and you still don't? >> i still do not, no. i want to know what happened. i don't know what happened. i don't think that anyone really knows what happened. i believe that that's why we need a fair trial. all americans deserve a fair trial. we've set up a defense fund. www.bales defense fund.com and we would appreciate any contributions to it and all americans and all people are innocent until proven guilty. we don't have any of the details or the truth yet. >> so you believe all that will come out at trial, though? >> i truly believe that, yes. >> there's nothing that you've learned in the interim that gives you a better picture at all as you're starting to make sense of this and try to understand those moments? >> i think that the details that came out originally were very confusing, didn't make a lot of sense. they were sensationalized. a lot of untruths about me and my husband, our life. it makes it hard to believe anything that came out. >> you spoke with him two days before these events. >> yep. >> anything in that phone conversation that struck you as odd or different ond out of character? >> not at all. we talked about our normal things, the kids, work, how he was holding up. we didn't -- he didn't really say a lot about this, during this deployment on the telephone. most of it was me doing the talking about what was going on at home in our lives. so that's all he wants to hear is how are you doing. >> this was an especially tough one what was it that made it so difficult? >> i think they worked really long hours and i think they were under constant threat of danger and more or less than maybe when he was in iraq. i think this one was just more intense. >> on the subject of iraq, i know he sustained a mild traumatic brain injury when he was in iraq. his vehicle flipped over. did he talk about that? >> not while he was over there. i had no idea that anything had happened to him until maybe a couple months after he had been back and he told me i got blown up and i was in shock that he hadn't told me while he was over there. so, yeah. >> the army says that he was using steroids, that he was abusing alcohol at times. did he talk to you about the stresses in afghanistan, if not iraq? >> nope. just a normal conversation like i said, i did most of the talking. i didn't really know what was going on with him over there. i knew that he was working hard and had long long duty hours. >> was he frustrated? >> i don't think he was frustrated. he wanted to be home, he wanted to be with us. deployments are always hard, this was our fourth one. we had been married. just celebrated our anniversary and been together only half of them because of his deployments. >> he was hoping that after this deployment, he would end his military career and move on. >> move on to something that was not deployable. we would do a different career and we were getting ready to move out of state to do >> your kids are five and two as he mentioned. >> necessity must ask you, where's daddy, when is he coming home? how do you handle those questions. >> i tell them it's easier if they know that he's at work. they don't have to ask where's daddy, why doesn't he come home with us? i tell them he's at special work. they understand that. we miss him dearly. we talk about daddy every day. he talks to them on the phone whenever he calls. right now they just think he's still away and he'll be coming home soon. i haven't gotten to the point where i don't know what to tell them when he doesn't come home and they think he's going to be home. >> have you thought at all about what that conversation will be like? >> i know that it will -- it will feel right when it happens. i want to protect my children as much as i can. and they don't understand any of this that's going on. >> don't understand at -- >> she knows something is up. i don't even understand what's going on. i don't understand why we're in this position and i really want a fair trial for my husband so that the facts do come out and my children deserve to be proud psacrificed a lot for his 's country. he's been away from our family too often. >> the military makes serious charges against your husband. how do you feel about how the military treated you since this happened? >> they've been excellent at taking care of us. i'm completely secure. they took care of us as soon as this happened. >> you were moved right away for your protection. >> right. it was something i hadn't thought of. what about lodging? where are you staying tonight? um i don't know. we didn't know at the time when they would release his name. first thing on my mind was my children's safety. i needed to be safe as well-being the parent. we went along what they advised us to do. >> do you have any concerns for your safety or their safety today? >> fls always a fear of that. you just don't know what could happen. we take precautions and we pray a lot. >> who are you angry at? >> i don't think i'm angry at anyone. i just i want my family to be together again. i want the truth to come out and my goal always has been to have our family to be together. that's the main and most important thing. all of the time away makes you -- when you're with your family makes it all the more important to be together. usually when there's a deployment you have an end date so you can get through each day. we have to make it to october or december. there's no end date for this. that's the hard part. >> figuring out how to deal with that. if for some reason your husband is found guilty, have you thought about what that reality would be like or what that would bring? >> at this point i haven't gotten that far. i truly believe that my husband did not do this. i really just want the facts to come out through the fair trial. >> kari bales thanks for your time. >> thank you, guys. there is a new warning for passengers on u.s. airlines. john miller is here to look at reports of a new al qaeda bomb plot and the norwegian convert who is apparently ready to carry it out. you're watching "cbs this morning." chili's lunch break combos start at just 6 bucks. so ditch the brown bag for something better. like our bacon ranch quesadillas or big mouth burger bites, served with soup or salad, and fries. starting at just 6 bucks, at chili's. a stevia leaf erased my fears. it made my willpower a super hero. as for calories, it has zero. twinkle twinkle truvia® star natural sweetness, i love just what you are. truvia. honestly sweet. the calcium they take because they don't take it with food. switch to citracal maximum plus d. it's the only calcium supplement that can be taken with or without food. that's why my doctor recommends citracal maximum. it's all about absorption. thafor over 10 years now,.mends i've been representing the colonial penn life insurance company. hi, alex. hi, everyone. i thought it'd be interesting to hear from you what your customers say are some of the things they like best about colonial penn's whole life insurance. who's gonna start?

we'll start with that. >> i think it's very real in that the information comes from intelligence sources that said there is this individual, he has been trained and he's operational. he's been given a mission and told to go forward. >> a norwegian man. does that mean he's from norway originally, that he moved there? what is that? >> that means he's from norway originally. that means, of course, as part of al qaeda's effort. if you go back to a abbottabad, one of the things they said is let's look for people that don't look like what we think they're looking for. if we're looking for this individual, we're doing data crunching. who fits the profile, someone 18 to 35. someone who is from norway, someone who has traveled to places that are jump off spots to go to yemen. now, you've got maybe tens of thousands of people or thousands. but you want to crunch that down to who has connection somewhere else in the database and focus on those people. >> thousand do they recruit someone in norway? >> well, mostly over the internet. if you look at the pattern of foreign people recruited into these things, americans, nor weej ans, swedens, swedes, you see most of them were radicalized over the internet. >> how do you start to look out for this person? this is literally a needle in a haystack. doesn't mean he'll be on a norwegian passport. documents can be falsified. >> two ways. one the traditional way, you have intelligence officers overseas who run intelligence agents in the field and you say, bang against your sources and see if we can come up with a real name on this guy and where he is. and the less -- perhaps the more interesting way is the data crunching piece where you take what you do know about him and then what you know about the geography and then you use super computers to crunch through those records and say how do we narrow this pool down and then how do we look for further connections. >> for a time it seems like the thinking was al qaeda was not going to target another plane for some time after 9/11. that seems to be changing the last couple of years. is a plane attack inevitable?

>> he's a part-time horseman who is actually a full-time missing airplane -- he founded the group for aircraft recovery. he finally turned up this. a long forgotten photo that he says may show the holy grail in the earhart puzzle. a piece of the aviators plane. >> the components of this image match the shape andy mentions of elements in the landing gear of a lock heed electric. >> that picture was taken in 1937 off gardner island. but that was more than 300 miles to the southeast of where earhart was supposed to land. tiny howland island. both were needles in a floating haystack. >> fuel is running low. >> her mysterious disappearance was the stuff of hollywood. but to dorothy cochran, a curator at the national air and space museum, there's no mystery. see says she simply ran out of gas and drowned. >> at the end of the day, where did she go down? >> i believe that she went down somewhere to the northwest of howland island. i think they were fairly close, unfortunately. >> rick gillespie think if her effort to find howland, she stumbled on this island instead and managed to make an emergency landing and then waited for the help that never came. >> if what you're saying is the case, it's probably a far worsened than crashing into the ocean. >> oh, yeah. >> living and dying on that island is not a good way to go, no. >> proof earhart survived, he says, came in weak radio signals heard after her disappearance. most were cruel hoaxes. but he says a teenager named betty clink was so convinced that she heard earhart on her short wave radio that she wrote every word she heard in her journal. she's now 91 years old and still swears it was earhart's voice. >> what really got betty about what she heard was -- were the tones in the voice of the people she was hearing. >> panic? >> panic, extreme anxiety, anguish. it haunted her. >> there's other evidence too. although he admits it's all circumstantial. fragments of bone and the heel of a woman's shoe were both found on the island in 1940. years later, gillespie returned to that same site and found more. bottles of hand lotion and freckle ointment dating from the 1930s. even a zipper from what could be a flight suit. it tells a story. >> it tells a story of an american woman in the 1930s who is trying and has failed to survive on that island. i think critics would say that that could be anybody's and it could be remnants of -- >> yeah, it could be anybody. who? that's my reply to that. who? >> the artifacts being found are collateral pieces of civilization, nothing that can be directly tied to amelia. >> coast guard cutters and navy ships and planes are rushing to their aid. >> and what about that massive search. the largest of its kind at the time. >> why wouldn't they have seen a plane with the flyover? >> because by the time they got there, the plane had been washed over the edge of the reef into the surf zone, obscured by the surf. nobody would see it. >> maybe the answer to this 75-year-old mystery is indeed just off that reef. resting in a thousand feet of water. this week, gillespie and his team will use side scan sonar and underwater robots to look for what, if anything, is left of earhart's plane, including that landing gear. if indeed that's what was in the picture in the first place. >> this is the biggest thing we've ever done. we'll either find something or we won't. >> it won't change what earhart accomplished. but it could finally put her to rest. >> well, mr. gillespie certainly has answers to all of your questions. why is he so sure, lee, so adamant? >> besides the evidence that he thinks he's found, which again critics would say is circumstantial, he says that if she was flying, trying to find howland island, she was on a certain navigational line. to one way, there was nothing but open ocean and she knew that. to the southeast there were a couple of different islands, gardner island with one of them that was close to it. if she missed howland, she might have a couple other chances to find someplace to land. again, who knows. really just don't know. >> there are these radio transmissions as well that have some people saying maybe there is -- >> there's a lot of controversy about that as well. i mean, a lot of them are deemed as hoaxes off the bat. people just trying to pretend that they were her. they didn't come from the south pacific. there are some that gillespie says are reasonable to assume they came from her direction. others were garbled. the point he makes is there's no way that those radio transmissions could have happened unless she managed to land the plane, the plane would have to be up right on the wheel, the engine running to run the radio. that's the reasoning for thinking she landed. otherwise they wouldn't have heard the transmissions. >> when does ed know one way or the other? >> rick is going out there, he'll be there for ten days, about an eight-day trip to the site. be there for ten days and come back. if the plane is in one piece, he might have a shot of finding something. if indeed it's there. if it's in a lot of small piece, it's going to be really tough to find anything conclusive that will connect it to the plane unless they find the serial number on the engine. there are a lot of critics that will say that's not it. >> 75 years, it would be mice to have an answer. >> for sure. >> fasci we've got a surprising secret to help you get the most health benefits out of your sal lachltd that lad. be careful what you do in a chicago taxi. could be expensive. we'll make that long story short on "cbs this morning." i am going to become facebook friends with our babysitter. no. these work, right?

"healthwatch," the secret of salad dressing. when it comes to salad dressing, choosing low fat or no fat may not be the healthiest option. full fat dressings may be better at unlocking the nutrients you can absorb from your veggies. researchers fed salads to people topped with dressing made with saturated fat using butter, canola oil and polyunsaturated fat using corn oil. they took blood samples to test for the absorption of antioxidants known to fight cancer, heart disease and age-related vision loss. researchers found that mono unsaturated fats like canola required the least amount of fat to -- the saturated fat and polyunsaturated fat-based dressings needed more fat to get the same results. so go ahead and choose the full fat dressing on your next salad. just a little bit of the right type of fat will help you get the most out of your salad without ruining your diet. i'm dr. holly phillips. >> cbs "healthwatch" sponsored by lyrica. my doctor diagnosed it as fibromyalgia, thought to

of questions about how it happened, were it happened and whether getting that close to chimpanzees, especially ones that have been damaged, is a good idea. >> his social network postings describe him as a 26-year-old anthropologist from st. louis who was in south africa studying chimpanzees and who is said to have known the risks of being around then. now he knows the risks even better. he's lucky to be alive. andrew had been working as a guide at a facility known as chimpanzee eden where chimps are housed after being rescued from lives of abuse, either in the illegal pet market or the entertainment industry. observer leah peers to have been standing too close to an enclosure with adult male animals. two of them, named mickey and amadeus seen here in an animal planet documentary dragged him over the fence and began to attack him as they pulled him further into the area. a medical team had to wait outside the enclosure until armed guards could escort them in to recover the man and bring him to a nearby hospital. he's said to be stable but still very badly injured. >> basically from head to toe, he's been severely lacerated. a number of fractures. he's had some of his skin and muscles pulled from the bone on his arms and feet and lost a number of fingers and toes. >> he was inspired to work with chimpanzees by the documentaries of jane good all, the pioneering prime tolgs who showed the world how similar chimp behavior can be to human. however cute and fascinating they are, they are dangerous, especially when mistreated. the institute issued a statement, the chimpanzee as at the eden suffered horrible injuries and abuse from humans and, therefore, have to be treated with caution. more caution now. the institutions, whatever good they do, are sources of controversy because of the parade of humans who come and see them. some feel the animals are under continuing stress. they're also very clever, unpredictable, extremely powerful and dangerous. >> mark phillips, thank you. can we all agree that they're cute and we're all pulling for andrew. but can we also agree, let's not work with chimpanzees any time soon. this is scary stuff. >> you don't think

>> the dilemma was to make him seem unlike a cartoon character. >> that was achieved largely thanks to the technology that james cameron developed for avatar and peter jackson developed for lord of the rings. technology that's been used in action movies and fantasy movies but never in a comedy. nobody ever used at that technology to create a character that just exists there a normal mundane world. what?e technology, per se, is - >> it's called motion capture technology. the difference between that and the traditional animation is with a pixar movie like toy story, an animator is posing everything out. with motion capture, you have an actor actually wearing -- in this case, me, wearing these little sensors. so everything that i do, the bear does. as mark wahlberg, the right kind of casting because? >> because he makes the audience believe that this is just a normal relationship. >> after you were able to do that to create this bond, that was the other challenge? >> well, the other challenge was to walk the line of sweetness and bad taste. it is sort of that -- >> the story of your career. it's sort of that mix of high brow and low brow, i guess, that we all love monty python. that's sort of the pair gone example of how to walk that line. >> it is high brow, low brow. it is being funny at the same time being smart. >> we hope. >> define for me the success of family guy. it's probably gone way, way beyond whatever you ever imagined. >> yeah. you know, i don't think it goes any deeper than this. i would never be so presumptuous to compare our shows. the honeymooners. one of my favorite -- why does this show endure, why do people continue coming back to jackie gleason. rather than an extended analytical answer, he just said they're funny. >> in the end, it's a simple answer that's right. >> we've never been under the illusion that it's our job do anything more than just make people laugh and give them a good time for the 22 minutes that we're on. >> you were 24 when you created family guy or not? >> yes. >> this went on for how many years now? >> you know, it's strange. i actually don't know how many years -- i've never been able to answer this question. the thing about an animated show, it takes nine months to do each half hour. mine months per episode. >> i don't understand that. tell me why. >> it's because it's all still hand drawn. it's all still traditionally animated. there has yet to be a computer program invented to bring the warmth you get from a human hand drawing the characters. everything is still hand-drawn. that just takes time. >> will there be a time when a computer can do that? >> i'm sure eventually they will be. >> how many people? >> there's probably, per show, maybe a couple hundred people working on each show. then we use a studio over in korea as the simpsons does, king of the hill does. it's a sense of pride there. they are the only ones who really know how to do it. >> how many people are watching family guy? >> i don't know. i think on a really great week, we get ten million viewers. that's for a season premiere or a finale generally. >> that's a good week, isn't it? >> generalgenerally, i think it closer to 6. >> you'll do it how long? >> i don't know. i guess until -- >> somebody says no? >> until it wears out its welcome. >> it will probably be you knowing it rather than somebody telling you. >> that's what i'm trying to keep an eye out for. i made a comment recently in the press that, gosh, is it maybe time to end the show? i was thinking out loud. it created this frenzy within our studio that my god, you're not going to end the show, are you? i do think it's a good thing to keep an eye on that as a producer and know before your audience does when you start to get stale. >> you're also singing. >> yes, yes. music has always been a really important part of family guy. i grew up listening to -- i've always loved orchestras. i was a big john williams fan and remain a big john williams fan. i love billy may -- >> the rangers. >> love the great arrangers. having an orchestral score for even something as seemingly unnecessary as family guy was important to me. >> where are we in terms of the possibility of animation? >> the advent of motion captured technology has been a huge leap forward. >> i think at some point -- >> the possibilities. >> you hear talk of the future where you don't need actors anymore. >> exactly. >> where -- >> actors say that to me. >> where completely human characters will be able to be generated. i think we're a long way off from that. i think that's -- it's going to be impractical for a long time because it's -- you can have an actor just stand in front of the camera for a lot less money. >> when you look at all the things that you are doing, can you see yourself becoming sort of acting in a film, directing a film, doing the music for a film?
