Lonnie quinn of our new york station, wcbs, is tracking joaquin. How does it look, lonnie . Good morning. Myself and my colleagues in weather departments all over the country are having a tough time with the storm. Not because of the intensity. We know what the storm is doing. Its growing. You have a category 3 hurricane, 120mileperhour winds. If that gets to 130, you have a category 4 storm. Its crawling right now at only 5 Miles Per Hour to the westsouthwest. It is pummelling the bahamas. Its forget to make that turn to the north as it possibly becomes a cat 4. Then it shoots up to the eastern seaboard. Here is where all bets are kind of off. What i mean by in an is you still have your cone of concern, but we dont have the consensus that we had yesterday. Yesterday, all these models brought it in around virginia or North Carolina. Forget about it now. Theyre all over the place. Youve got a landfall down around the georgia shoreline. Youve got three that keep it all the way out to shore. Weve got to keep an eye on this one. Depending on where it goes, this causes huge problems. Now, this High Pressure offshore is one of the reasons were wobbling back and forth. If it goes further offshore, it could go out to sea. A much calmer situation to the northwest. Yes, some rain, but it doesnt have a name or number, just some wet weather. Russian war planes reportedly attacking targets in syria this morning. U. S. Officials say rebel fighters backed by the cia were hit in one of wednesdays opening round of air strikes. Russias foreign minutes insists they only attacked isis positions. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter says russia shah shou says ru should not prop up assad. It only risks escalating the civil war. That approach is tantamount, as i said then, to pouring gasoline on the fire. Russias planes are hitting areas of syria where isis is not in control. Holly williams is in turkeys hatay province along the syrian border. Hold holly, good morning. Reporter good morning. Russia gave the u. S. Short notice before launching air strikes. We are now in a dangerous situation, with both the u. S. And russia conducting air strikes in syrian airspace, but backing different sides in the countrys civil war. Russian war planes struck rebel held areas in central and Northern Syria despite russias claims that it hit isis positions. At least some of the targets appear to be in areas that are not controlled by isis or groups linked to al qaeda. 36 civilians were killed, including children, according to Syrian Opposition forces. A syrian rebel commander who is backed by the u. S. Told us the russians will be treated as occupiers. Russia has backed the Syrian Regime in the countrys fouryearlong civil war, in direct opposition to the u. S. , which supports syrias socalled moderate rebels. The syrian war has already passed more than 250,000 lives and forced nearly 12 Million People to flee their homes. For weeks now, russia has been building up forces on an air base near the syrian city of latakia, with over 30 fighter jets as well as helicopter gunships and antiaircraft systems. The u. S. Says it does not object to russia targeting isis but fears that attacks on other groups will only serve to make the syrian conflict even bloodier. As america continues its air strikes against isis in syria, the u. S. And russia will hold talks this week to reduce the risk of an accidental collision in syrian airspace. Charlie . Holly in turkey, thank you so much. Cbs news Senior Security contributor Michael Morell is a former Deputy Director of the cia. Michael, good morning. Good morning, charlie. What do these air strikes tell us about russia is trying to do and what is the risk of a wider war . What putin is trying to do here, channrlie, is strengthen assad, prop up assad. Thats why hes going after the moderate opposition, because theyve put assad under the most pressure hes been under since the fall of 2012. The reason hes doing that is he did not want assad to fall, because he really believes that if assad falls, there will be more instability in syria, giving more running room to isis, maybe even having isis in damascus. Thats why hes doing what hes doing. Does the u. S. Believe that . So i dont think putin is thinking about this right, charlie. Hes absolutely right that if assad leaves tomorrow with no followon government, then youre in a libya kind of situation with chaos. But the u. S. Plan all along is a transition from assad to another government. Thats what we have to have. Thats the only solution here. And putin has just made that much more difficult. How does this complicate things . You hear president putin saying that these air strikes were to attack terrorists. U. S. Officials say the attack was not directed at isis. If you look at the map, gunships and airplanes are near homes where there are few if any militants of the islamic states. Do the u. S. And russians need to get together quickly and work this out . So norah, the risk is that were both flying in the same airspace, in the same country. You have to deconflict. And that deacconflicdeconflicti be, this morning were flying here, youre flying there. There needs to be that kind of dialogue. Hard to imagine russia and the United States doing that. Do you get to deconflict if youre only giving one hour notice . No, you dont. Why do they keep going with this narrative . Because, to go back to what i said to charlie earlier, they really are focused on isis, but theyre focused on isis in the sense that if assad falls, isis grows, right . So theyre trying to protect assad. So theyre going after all of assads enemies. Mike, this is the first time russians have conducted combat operations in the middle east since the end of waorld war ii. Correct. They and the british invaded iran at the end of world war ii to protect oil supplies for the allies. The primary focus of putin here is protecting assad, right . The second is, hes always wanted to be a big player in the middle east and this give s him that. There is a symbolic aspect to this as well. Thank you, michael. Vladimir putin expressed concern about a power vacuum in syria if president assad is pointed out. Putin pointed out other situations that he says have led to disaster. You have said that a strong centralized government is in the dna of russia. And you have a huge fear, as you suggest, an anarchy in syria and other places, of no strong government. Thats the fear that Vladimir Putin has. Translator well, im not saying theres no strong government in the country. Im saying that if there is no government at all, then there will be anarchy and a vacuum. And this vacuum and anarchy will rapidly transform into terrorism. Take iraq, for example. There was a wellknown figure, saddam hussein. Whether he was good or bad, youve probably forgotten that. At some stage the u. S. Was cooperating very actively with saddam when he was fighting iran. You helped him with arms. Political cover was provided, etc. Then for some reason, you had a falling out, and the u. S. Decided to eliminate saddam. But by eliminating saddam hussein, the u. S. Eliminated the Iraqi Government and thousands of people from the former baath party. The sunni elite were thrown out on the streets. Nobody thought about them. Were not against some country showing its leadership somewhere. Were against thoughtless actions that are hard to correct. Interesting insights from the russian president. And it points out again, charlie, our timely your interview was with putin. It makes you think what he knew at the time when he was talking to you. And what he planned to do. Well be watching how much cooperation there is now between the United States and russia with respect to future air strikes. Indeed. And hundreds of thousands of syrians are fleeing fighting there. Donald trump says that if hes president , none of them who come to the u. S. Will be allowed to stay. Trump and two of his republican rivals were asked about syria at Campaign Stops in New Hampshire. Major garrett in washington is tracking the republican race. Major, good morning. Reporter good morning. The syrian refugee crisis, the worst the world has seen since world war ii, took center stage in New Hampshire last night. Donald trump, jeb bush, and ben carson all faced the issue. The resulting contrast, stark and memorable. This could be one of the great tactical ploys of all time. Reporter donald trump said he doesnt want the u. S. To host Syrian Refugees, saying they could be part of isis. I put people on notice who are coming here from syria as part of this mass migration, that if i win, if i win, theyre going back. Im going back, im telling you. Theyre going back. Reporter not far away, a woman wept while asking jeb bush how he would help her 14 syrian relatives who recently escaped to turkey. People are leaving not because theyre immigrants looking for a better life. Theyre leaving because if not theyll die. Its that simple. And we have to play a role in providing support. Reporter afterward, bush was told about trumps plan to expel Syrian Refugees. If you didnt hear that young womans heart and have a sense that its important to be on the side of people seeking freedom, then thats not the america i know. Reporter ben carson came down largely on trumps side. Unless we have a mechanism of guaranteeing that were not bringing in jihadists or people who are predisposed to become radicalized, it is the handwriting of foolishness. Reporter effective today the Obama Administration is admitting 10,000 more Syrian Refugees. The United Nations high commissioner says 400,000 Syrian Refugees must be resettled outside of the middle east. The u. S. Has been called to accept 100,000 refugees over the next calendar year. Major garrett reporting from washington, thank you. A new set of Hillary Clintons emails this morning showings the Security Threat to her private server when she was secretary of state. Officials found three state Department Emails that should have been classified as secret. Other messages came from hackers trying to steal clintons personal information. Nancy cordes is in washington where officials believe the hacking attempt was connected to russia. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning. Those phishing emails were disguised as speeding tickets, five of them, that popped up in clintons private inbox in 2007. Security Officials Say they demonstrate the risk of using a private server to conduct government business. They claimed to be from the new York State Department of motor vehicles. Recipients, including clinton, were told they had been caught speeded and should click on the attached ticket to pay it. That attachment was infected with a Remote Access trojan, or r. A. T. Once the r. A. T. Is on your computer, they can eavesdrop on your keyboard, all the websites you visit, all the files you open. They can even steal information convertly. Reporter a clinton spokesman tells cbs news there is no evidence she opened the attachment, that all these emails show is that like millions of other americans she received spam. The latest email release comes amidst an uproar over the House Committee investigating the benghazi attacks, after the house speakerinwaiting, kevin mccarthy, seemed to acknowledge its purpose was to bring down clinton. Everybody that you say Hillary Clinton was unbeatable. But we put together a benghazi committee, a special committee. What are her numbers today . Reporter democrats pounced. It means this is a hoax. Reporter they called the committee a Political Smear Campaign and demanded it be shut down. Clinton said mccarthys comments revealed the truth about the committee. This was always meant to be a partisan political exercise. Reporter whatever it is, it has hurt clinton, and not just her poll numbers, but now her fundraising numbers too. The Clinton Campaign announced last night it raised 28 million over the last quarter. And thats less than 5 million more than vermont senator bernie sanders, who raised most of his money in small amounts online and not at big fundraisers. Hes also, norah, got a much smaller staff to pay. Thank you, nancy. This morning a lucky power ballplayer is waking up as a multimillionaire. One ticket worth 310 million was sold in three rivers, michigan. It matched all five numbers and the power ball in last nights drawing. The ticket came from this gas station. No one has come forward yet. Gayle, you were not in three rivers recently, were you . I was not there. Otherwise you would have heard about it. I hope its a group ticket. You were going to say, oh, i would have told you. Im feeling ill. I hope its a group cold. What would you do with 300 million . I would actually share it. You are a good person. Thank you.

Heavy through pittsburg down the willow pass. No accidents for 680 but slow for the southbound drive approaching the walnut creek interchange. Heavy here too at the san mateo bridge. Julie.

Go back and hold yourself as a baby. That feels funny. Welcome back to cbs this morning. The secret service, we are talking about them today, because they are dealing with a different kind of attention this morning. Senior supervisors apparently knew about an agents plan to embarrass a congressman. That is according to a new Inspector General<\/a> report. We will show you why some apparently thought revenge on congressman Jason Chaffetz<\/a>. That is ahead. Time to show you some of this mornings headlines. Usa today reports on the approval of a funding bill to aconverted government shutdown. The government passed it 7820 and the bill did not strip plan for planned parenthood. President obama signed it before the deadline on midnight and it funds the government until december 11th. A counteroffensive last night five afghan. The taliban retreated outside the city. The New York Times<\/a> reports on how new York City Police<\/a> will monitor virtually all instances of force and it will include situations like the takedown of former tennis star james blake. A new tracking system and guidelines will be used. Officers could face formal discipline if they fail to step in or use Excessive Force<\/a> or do not call for help. The start of Recreational Marijuana<\/a> sales in oregon today. For the first time it is legal to buy pot. Some dispensaries opened at midnight pacific time. Oregon will not start fully regulating sales and collecting taxes until january. Some sellers are offering discounts and even free food today. The Salt Lake Tribune<\/a> says the director of the secret service promises to discipline agents who released information about a utah congressman. A scathing report shows how dozens of agents including senior officials tried to embarrass representative Jason Chaffetz<\/a>. Jeff pegues is in washington nd shows us how the revenge could be a motive. Reporter they did not intend for the information they had to go public but it did and fivemonth investigation concluded they should have known paets. The Inspector General<\/a> found they violated Agency Policy<\/a> and privacy laws. Who are you Holding Accountable<\/a> . We are going to wait. Youre going to wait . That is the problem that is the problem we are going to wait . Yes. Thats the problem. Reporter just as representative Jason Chaffetz<\/a> was grilling joe clancy, the Inspector General<\/a> some higher up were expecting to embarrass the congressman. They think saef a bomb, believe them. Take them down. Reporter he has become a frequent krk critic of the agency and investigating when agents allegedly drove drunk on white house grounds next to an active bomb investigation. The report says in retaliation, some at the secret service thought to access chaffetz 2003 application to be an agent, a violation of the privacy act. Assistant director ed lowery allegedly wrote in an email some information he might find embarrassing needs to get out. Just to be fair. According to the report, the file was viewed 60 times by at least 45 agents. 18 senior level supervisors knew about the unauthorized access. By the time it leaked to the media, the report scolded the secret service concluding it doesnt take a lawyer to know what happened was simply wrong. Clancy was hired to clean up the secret service. In a statement, he said any employee, regardless of rank or seniority who has committed misconduct will be held accountable. Chaffetz says the problems with the agency go further than what happened to him. The more i learned about the secret service, the more i recognized there is a deepseeded culture problem and if they are doing this to me, who knows what else they are doing. It really is scary. Reporter the report said that the agents actions were, quote, destructive and corrosive to the secret and joe clancy was brought in to right an agency making headlines for the wrong reasons but the ig report said he did not know what had happened, even though the people around him knew. Gayle . Some could say that is a problem too. Thank you, jeff pegues. This morning the ferguson accuses a Weight Loss Company<\/a> of threatening companies who gave bad reviews. The federal trade commission is suing the Weight Loss Company<\/a> and saying their claims are baseless and its intent to silence unhappy customers is lawful. Elaine quijano takes us inside this battle. Reporter roca labs based in sarasota sold weight loss powders they said was a bypass to gastric bypass surgery. I dont think i will ever buy anything online again. Reporter jennifer shyry was thinking about getting gastric bypass surgery when she came across roca weight loss website. It was something i could do while at home and it wasnt surgery and i thought it would be easy to do and it said it would shrink your customer. Reporter the company claimed the customers could lose up to 120 pounds. Shyry says its a sham. Its like trying to eat rubber. Reporter when she posted her complaint on the Better Business<\/a> bureaus website, roca lab sued hr for breaking a socalled gag clause she didnt know she signed when purchasing the product. It states in part, you will not disparage roca labs and if you breach this agreement we retain all legal rights and remedies against the breaching customer. When jennifer tried to remove her comment she said they asked for my twitter account and facebook and wanted to know who he was texting and emailing. She intimate details i was not going to share with them. Reporter last week, the federal trade commission filed a lawsuit against the company alleging unfair practices saying not only is the gag clause illegal but it was buried in the fine print. Mary engle is the head of the advertising practices. No way they knew it was existed in the first place. Reporter it is marketed to children as young as 6. When you have an untested product, its something we take very seriously. Reporter the products effectiveness was also chaled after a doctor, retained by the ftc said the main ingredients listed were dietary fibers adding, quote, there is no sufficient reliable evidence for the weight loss claims. Jennifer is not alone. The company has taken legal action against other customers and gone after a thirdparty website where unhappy customers posted negative reviews. Mark ranassa represents the website. My client has a right to share that information. Reporter while no federal law prohibiting companies from trying to suppress negative reviews, the ftc hope the actions send a strong message. If a company is trying to oppress negative information, we want to stop that. Reporter after repeated questions, roca labs and their attorney declined to comment for the story. 9 ftc says the company has agreed to challenge all actions pending the lawsuit. Thank you for that. San franciscos last remaining gun store says its being forced to close its doors. Next, we will show you why. Set your dvr so you can watch cbs this morning any time you like, if youre heading out the door. Moderate to severe Crohns Disease<\/a> is tough, but ive managed.

A showdown in San Francisco<\/a> between lawmakers concerned with Public Safety<\/a> and the citys last remaining gun store, reaches an end game. The store is closing under siege from new regulations from city hall. John blackstone shows us how gun supporters wonder if it was even a fair fight. Reporter the modest store front in San Francisco<\/a>s Mission District<\/a> doesnt do justice to the iconic status of high bridge arms. At the last gun shop in San Francisco<\/a>, it does as brisk a business in souvenir shirts as it does in firearms. We got a call from someone from minnesota yesterday. We sent two off to st. Cloud. Reporter the shirts have been selling quickly since high bridge announced its shutting down. At the end of october, we will be done. Reporter general manager Steven Alcairo<\/a> says the business is pushed out of business by a proposed city law that would require never gun sale to be videotaped. When a customer Takes Delivery<\/a> of their firearm, they want us to videotape that person doing that and to submit to the police department. Reporter gun buyers already to fill out a detailed form and go through a background check and a waiting period, but sending a videotape for the purchase to the local police says alcairo one regulation too many. The idea was just announced. The following two weeks, sales just dipped. It was like a ghost town here. Nobody was coming in. Reporter legislation hard proposed by mark farrell. If i have to choose between the existence of a gun store in San Francisco<\/a> or the Public Safety<\/a> of our residents, im going to choose the publics safety of our residents every single day. Reporter do you have any evidence that, in fact, they have been supplying guns to people who shouldnt have guns . None in this store in particular. The target of this legislation is not one store in particular. Reporter but its the only store in town. Right now it is, but we have also heard that other stores were looking to San Francisco<\/a> and the residents of San Francisco<\/a>, they are demanding we do everything we can to make our streets safer. Reporter when high bridge closes gun buyers wont have to go far. A gun store just south of San Francisco<\/a>s city limits. Will San Francisco<\/a> be any safer when your door shuts permanently . I dont think so. Not at all. Reporter what will be lost if the store closes . I think a piece of San Francisco<\/a>s history. Reporter the gun racks are emptying fast at high bridge. For those just looking for a shirt, the only ones left are extra large. For cbs this morning, john blackstone, San Francisco<\/a>.

Together, were building a better california. Good morning to our viewers in the west. It is thursday, october 1st, 2015. Welcome back to cbs this morning. More real news ahead including targets new Sales Strategy<\/a>. Why the retail giant is joining competitors that match each others prices. But first heres a look at todays eyeopener at 8 00. It is pummelling the bahamas. Joaquin is pounding islands near the bahamas. Virginia has declared a state of emergency. Both the u. S. And russia conducting air strikes in syria. But backing different sides in the countrys civil war. What putin is trying to do is strengthen assad, prop up assad. Thats why hes going after the moderate opposition. The syrian refugee crisis took center stage in New Hampshire<\/a> last night. We have to play a role in providing support. If i win, theyre going back. Theyre going back. Those emails were disguised as speeding tickets and demonstrate the risk of using a private server. They should have known better. The Inspector General<\/a> found that they violated Agency Policy<\/a> and privacy laws. The vatican will not confirm or deny if pope francis met with kim davis. At first she refused to meet with the pope because she was told theres a guy in a dress named francis here to see you. Im charlie rose with gayle king and nora odonnell. This morning, millions in the path of another wave of heavy rain and flooding. Hurricane joaquin is now a category 3 storm. It is battering islands near the bahamas. The storm is expected to move north and could make landfall along the east coast as early as this weekend. Joaquin may deliver more rain to areas already drenched and dealing with the flooding. In South Carolina<\/a>, one person died overnight in flash flooding there. The conditions also created a sinkhole. Communities up and down the coast are preparing for the potential impact of hurricane joaquin. Crews in new jersey are building massive sand barriers along the beaches. Our chief weather caster from new york is tracking the storm right now. Lonnie, good morning. Good morning. We talk about joaquin around the bahamas right now. A huge problem because its staying there for about 24 hours with winds 100 miles an hour or lets look at the latest states from the National Weather<\/a> service. Category 3 storm, winds at 120 Miles Per Hour<\/a> that is crawling at only about 5 Miles Per Hour<\/a>. 24 hours for this for the central and eastern bahamas. Then it takes a turn to the north. That will happen later today as it possibly becomes a cat 4 with winds over 130 Miles Per Hour<\/a>. Does it make a landfall . Thats the allimportant question. Right now theres a lot more uncertainty. Could have a landfall anywhere from North Carolina<\/a> to massachusetts. And you see it loses a little bit of strength as it pushes north. The reason theres more uncertainty, yesterday when i was showing you all the models together, they were all bunched up around North Carolina<\/a> and virginia. Today theyre every which way. Youve got three of the eight im showing you here not even making a landfall. And theres one model thats not depicted here which is pretty famous and became famous after Superstorm Sandy<\/a> and thats the european. Its not depicted here because i cant animate it and make it move. Right now the european keeps it way offshore. Im talking south of bermuda. So this is one we watch about whether or not it will be our first landfall in the u. S. With a hurricane in over a year. But well follow this one. Back to you. Thank you so much, lonnie. Russia confirms this morning that its warplanes launched a second day of attacks in syria. Moscow gave the United States<\/a> one hours notice on wednesday before launching its first round of strikes. American Officials Say<\/a> one attack hit an area backed by rebel fighters backed by the cia. Russia strikes will extend the war and, quote, spread extremism. Russia claims it only attacked isis forces but some of the targets seem to be in areas not controlled by isis or groups linked to al qaeda. Nearly 12 million syrians have fled the fighting. U. N. Officials this morning nearly doubled an estimate of the flow of refugees from syria to europe. But donald trump says any syrians who come to the United States<\/a> will have to leave if he becomes president. Trump continued attacking his republican rivals while campaigning in New Hampshire<\/a>. He imitated how jeb bush and marco rubio would answer questions about each other. What do you think of rubio . Hes my dear friend. Hes so wonderful. I love him so much. Then they ask rubio, whos running against bush . Oh, hes my dear friend, wonderful they hate each other. Trust me, i know. They hate so much they hate more than anybody in this room hates their neighbor, any. But its political [ bleep ]. Do you understand . How does he never seen a candidate like this. No, no, no. He knows. He knows how to entertain. And he never backs down. Jeb bush told our boston station that you need some level of civility in order to solve problems. He was asked about trading a highfive with donald trump at the last debate. That was just maybe a little frustration on my part that he has disrespected my family. It was a little more than a highfive. Bush told New Hampshire<\/a> voters last night that donald trump has a hard time taking criticism and that he and marco rubio are friends. A houston film crew chose the wrong time and place to make a video promoting a city. They were shooting a famous we love houston sign when a man approached them with a gun. Did one of these. And then out of his pants pulled out a gun. The guys literally put up their hands and walked backwards. The crew tried to catch the suspect. But he got away with about 15,000 in camera equipment. The photographer called the robber a fumbling idiot. And we are learning more about a yankees fan getting a whole lot of attention all across the country. We showed you yesterday how. His name is will smith. He failed to catch three balls at tuesday nights game in the bronx. He told us that he got the tickets at the very last minute. Im going to get some crap for it. But i department know i would wake up with my phone totally blown up. Come into work, my boss, i said, what do i do . He said, either own it or walk away from it. And i decided, this is one you own. Make the catches next time. Smith said the half dozen beers he had during the game didnt help. Yes half dozen beers . Half a dozen. The Silver Lining<\/a> to the story is all the umpires signed a ball just for him. He plans to send it to his older brother, a marine stationed in North Carolina<\/a>. I like his attitude. Exactly, to own it. Exactly. Have fun with it. Is it good to drink six beers before the game . Hes lucky it didnt hit him in the head. Or break his glasses. A German Shepherd<\/a> has learned to guide a blind athlete on his runs, only on cbs this morning. See how their story could change the life of thousands of people across the story. Dont we love this . , were going to take you to heinz field where cbs sports analyst and former steelers coach bill cowher will preview tonights steelers ravens matchup. How will they do without their injured star quarterback, ben roethlisberger. Is that his name . Exactly right. A Great Quarterback<\/a> whos injured. Youre watching cbs this morning.

Tums smoothies starts dissolving the instant it touches your tongue. And neutralizes stomach acid at the source. Tumtumtumtumtums smoothies, only from tums. In todays morning rounds, we all know its important to stay active. But for thousands of blind athletes across the country, just setting foot out the door can be a huge challenge. Now one special dog is helping his owner not just walk out the door but run. In a report youll see only on cbs this morning, Barry Petersen<\/a> brings us the extraordinary story of one mans journey to find the perfect running mate. Reporter its natural that a man would want to care for his canine companion. For centuries, dogs have been mans best friend. But in this story, it is a German Shepherd<\/a> named clinger who is in charge of caring for richard hunter. Got to get all our gear. Reporter richard is blind and clinger is his guide dog. The only one in america trained specifically to lead a blind runner. Steady. What clinger does when he runs with me is no different than his regular guide dog work. Hes just moving at a slightly faster pace. He has a lot of drive. He likes to work. He can be highly focused. Reporter sounds like you, maybe . I think clinger actually has a lot more drive than i do. Reporter richard started losing his sight in his 20s when he was a marine corps second lieutenant. Now 48 years old, hes almost completely blind. But despite that loss, richard started competing in triathlons with the help of human guides. Then one day during a bicycle training ride, richard and his guide collided with a car. He went through the windshield, his neck broken. That was a big wakeup call for me and my family. Reporter just three months later, he was back running races and nine months after the accident, he ran the boston marathon. There he spotted thomas panik whose school trains guide dogs for the blind. And there was an offhand remark. Richard shouted out, im really curious, have you ever trained a guide dog to run . And i said, i dont know. It hasnt been done. Reporter trainers ben and jolene had to devise a new Training Program<\/a> and the key was finding the right dog. Enter clinger. He accepted every challenge we threw at him, exceeded it and gave us the ability to ask for more. Reporter over the next six months, they taught clinger to navigate curbs and obstacles at a faster pace and thus think faster. Then he was ready to meet richard. As rewarding as training clinger was, being able to work with clinger and richard together and watch the relationship develop with the two of them was a truly inspirational and amazing time for me that i will never forget. Reporter the partnership started with more training at a new york park. And goes on today at their california home. Clinger can run six miles at a time. He memorizes each step of their path, always watching and warning of obstacles and creating a new kind of independence for richard. You dont need to call a friend, you dont need to have somebody come over. You guys, you buddies, can just go for a run . It gives me a lot of freedom. With clinger in my house, now we have the flexibility that once he learns my routes that were going to be able to leave the house whenever we want to and its just him and i. There we go. Good boy. If richard can open his door in the morning, be able to get out and have the freedom to know that hes safe, that to me is the definition of success. Lets get up the hill. Reporter that means others may someday share what richard and clinger now have. If this program is successful, its going to create the foundation for other people to follow in my footsteps. Reporter two athletes answering the call of the open road. Good boy. Reporter for cbs this morning, Barry Petersen<\/a> in fulso fulsome, california. I see why jolene was crying. What a great dog clinger is. To give him independence like that. You understand, charlie. I do, i do. Brilliantly told, too. Thinking about your own dogs. Yes. I get it.

A retail giant is aggressively changing its Sales Strategy<\/a> this morning in time for Holiday Shopping<\/a>. Target says it will match the online prices up to 29 competitors, including amazon, walmart, and best buy. The new policy begins today in target stores and online. Cbs News Business<\/a> analyst Jill Schlesinger<\/a> is joining us with more. Why is target doing this now . I think they are a little late to the party and a lot of their target competitors have gone doing it for a while. I think the new ceo is trying to ramp up the Online Presence<\/a> and trying to be competitive and saying im putting a tent pole down here. We are in this online game. So practically speaking, if i go in and buy some detergent and lets say its 10. 99 and i can get it cheaper at walmart i can get a price match . You have to prove it and they want to do that which is interestin that could be offputting for people. They have to be fulfilled by the company itself and no thirdparty. You dont want to get into an argument with a sales clerk about it . I know that is why only fewer than 5 of consumers actually take advantage of these Price Matching<\/a> schemes. It used to be the retailer would freak out, we are going to move money if we do that . Guess what . They find out consumers arent using them any way. They are launching ahead of the Holiday Shopping<\/a> season now. And a little scary we are doing a segment on october 1st on Holiday Shopping<\/a> but shows you how important it is. When you look at targets presence, they are trying to say we are relevant and part of this. Their online commerce and last Quarterly Report<\/a> sales are up from a year ago so they are making some progress. Look. The Holiday Season<\/a> we know is all important, right . Right. But we cannot understand what the what a consumer is going to do between now and then. What do we know . We know the economy is a little bit shaky right now. The stock market is a little worrisome. If gas prices stay low and people think they will stay low, youre going to have a good Holiday Season<\/a>. But if any of those things change, we could see a change in consumer behavior. It is almost like a connect the dots. Economy, the people. Im sure you guys know the answer to this but is there a place you with go online and will give you a comparison for whatever you want to buy . Yes, absolutely. There is tons of appears out there. Do a quick Google Search<\/a> while in the store. You have the pricing information in your cell phone in front of your eyes. Show that to them. Thank you, jill.

He called that for three years the one thing you can never take away is the relationships, the experiences that you have. There it is. Reporter cowher reunited with old friends and teammates at the 40year reunion of his graduating class. I was very lucky and blessed to have some very good teammates. Today, wind. We are going to win. We enjoyed playing together. We played for each other. Thats him there he is coming out of high school here, i was about 195 pounds. North carolina state gave me a chance. I got to try out in the pros and got cut and tried one more time and made it and played five years. Reporter following his playing career, cowher returned to his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> in 1992 as head coach. We move on and we win. Reporter and won super bowl xl. Id like to thank my roots that started here and im very proud of that. Reporter lately, things havent been easy for cowhers alma mater. In 2014 after just three games, the new head coach resigned. When coach quit, there were more kids that wanted to come out for the team because there is a different feel about this place. The whole district is a family. 123 family what we going to do . Scott yoder was named head coach and the town rallied around the team when they returned to the field. When we showed up on the buses, nothing ive ever seen. It lets everyone know that they are here for each other. Im just so glad to see them get through this very challenging period of time last year. Seeing bill cowher walk in here was something amazing. How you were raised has a lot to do with where you go and im so proud to have have been from carlnton high school. We all get knocked down in life but your ability to get up and have persevere and let that be who define you. No greater honor than i have than to give this to coach yoder as a representation of this program and what you represent now. Coach . Thank you. Its what we talked about. This is what family is about. The golden football, to me, is about where your roots are, where you started. Because you get to the end, the end is about the journey. Cbs sports nfl analyst bill cowher is inside heinz field. Coach, good morning. Good morning, charlie. Good morning, everyone. Inspiring words for you about how it took you on your journey. Lets talk about tonights game. How do the steelers do it without big ben . Well, they got a really good group of players around them, charlie. I think when you look at this Football Team<\/a> from Antonio Brown<\/a> to leveon bell who they just got back and a defense that has been playing very well. Now the challenge they have tonight is they are going against a Baltimore Ravens<\/a> team that lost three games. They are 03 so a huge game because they both trail Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> team that is 30. So obeying, big game in the afc north tonight. So what things do you think we will see with vick . I think what youre going to see is them do some things that are comfortable. Its a short week for him. Has is the unfortunate part of but they still have, like i said, a lot of weapons around him. Antonio brown. I think we could see a lot of leveon bell in the running game. I think if you want to throw the ball with michael vick do it on first down. A baltimore defense has given up a lot of passing game but the biggest thing with michael vick be patient with the offense latin the game come to him and dont try to do too much too fast. We keep hearing that your Coach Mike Tomlin<\/a> has a no crutch rule. What does that mean . If youre on crutches you cant be on the sideline and if that is the case, how do you expect ben will contribute tonight . I think ben will contribute during the week. The biggest thing he is helping michael in his preparation. I think, right now, the biggest thing for ben is to get back and get healthy. In the meantime, michael vick has played a lot of football and has a lot of weapons around him. He understands that. He will not see anything tonight that he hasnt seen before. The biggest thing he is going to see is a level of desperation from the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> that is going to take them to a sense that they must come away with a win, somehow, swome way tonight. This is a big game. Look in back of me. When you get inside the 20 yard line, it is called the red zone, but in pittsburgh we call it the ketchup zone. We have two ketchup bottles see in the end zone. There they are. When you get inside the 20 yard line they drop and its look like the ketchup is pouring out. Only in pittsburgh can we define the heinz bottle as red ketchup. Desperation is never a good feeling in anything tonight. How do you expect them to play tonight . Like i said i know john harbaugh. They have had three games they lost and they have been leading in all three of these football games. The last two in the Fourth Quarter<\/a> and two lastminute drives have beat them. Again, this is a Football Team<\/a> with joe flacco, they have been to super bowls. Steve smith is a big player what has kind of played with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder. They dont have Terrell Suggs<\/a> and the heart and soul of their defense and they have to transition into a new defense without him. Throw the records out the window when the two teams play. They have a dislike for one another is a kind way of saying it and a lot of hard hitting tonight. This is a big game for both of these teams and again trying to stay within reach of the Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> who is now 30. When you look at the nfl and the afl, what surprises you most so far . I think when you look at all of this, a surprising start to some of the teams. New England Patriots<\/a> and Denver Broncos<\/a> look very strong. Its funny to watch the den broncos and Peyton Manning<\/a> transition into a new offense. What was lat we talked about Peyton Manning<\/a> transition into an offense . You look on the nfc side of it, you know, its still seattle and green bay packers. What kind of start they have gotten off to. Again, we talk about jurn jis. This is a long season and everybody will go through elements of challenges whether its through injuries or tough losses at the end of the game. You have to kind of persevere. You have to be resilient and because a lot of times the end part is all about the journey that you take from the beginning to the end. We are in october. We have only played three games. A lot of football left to be played. The story is unfolding before our eyes. Coach cowher, thank you. Listen. How did you get through that session when you went back to your School Without<\/a> getting choked up . I got choked up watching you here in the studio. What did that mean to you . You know what, gayle . I went back there yesterday when i landed. They have a tough game on friday. As i told them, you know, they are trying to change a culture. When you try and change a culture, you know, its a process. And its challenging and can also be very defining as well. These young boys and the coach, they are embracing the challenge that lies ahead of them and find a way to get out of flonase allergy relief, the only otc nasal spray approved to relieve nasal congestion and itchy, watery eyes.

He dealt with it shooting out the window or shooting at them. Reporter instead, she has decided to invite a select few to visit the farm, making it a museum of sorts, as long as she approves the guest list. I know its been ten years and be, obviously, its not exactly the same, but the feel of it, the spirit of it. Uhhuh. There is a lot of energy here. There is no doubt about it. You feel it when you walk in. Reporter do you still feel that . Absolutely. Its palpable. This is . This is the room. Reporter where he did everything . This is where he wrote fearing in las vegas.

Reporter we saw guns and bombs as two of lifes great pleasures he saw and evidence by the riddled bullet keg. He and his pal who owned the farm once strapped dynamite to a jeep just for fun. The important thing was we were going to experience a shock wave, you know . Reporter you wanted the shock wave . And it knocks the wind out of you a little bit. We are standing there together doing this. Yes at least now we can drink reporter its quieter here than it was in hunters day, although anita still uses his nickelplated shotgun to blow things up once in a while. Geez all right hunter, we love you reporter there is no explaining hunter s. Thompson. Even fans lucky enough to get an invite here might walk away more baffled than enlightened. Literary icon, mad genius . Or both. Come to our farm and you decide. But keep your head down while youre here. For cbs this morning, im lee cowan, in woody creek, colorado.
