goliath as the bulldogs look to pull off an upset against duke. monday, april 5th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs good monday morning from new york. i'm maggie rodriguez. >> and i'm harry smith. want to show you beautiful pictures just before dawn. "discovery" taking off from the kennedy space center. the "discovery" and the other shuttle vehicles will be decommissioned later this year. so this is a glorious picture. and as it was taking off, they said from the ground you could see the space station up above. >> that's how great the weather is. we'll get more information on that ahead, but we begin this morning with the powerful earthquake that shook buildings all across the southwest on easter sunday. the quake could be felt from san diego to las vegas. it is the third major quake in the western help miss fear in the last four months.

it left at least two dead and about 100 injured. bill whitaker is in one of the hardest hit areas, calexico, california, right on the border. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, maggie. it may be days before a total damage assessment is completed, but here in downtown calexico just north of the border, eight blocks of downtown have been cordoned off by police because of the damage. some buildings have been red tagged. and some merchants will have major cleanup. >> happy easter! all right this is the hardest earthquake to hit the southern california region in nearly two deca decades. >> all kinds of things are damaged. >> the whole house started moving. it was really scary, crazy. >> reporter: hardest hit by the easter sunday 7.2 quake was mexicali, mexico, just across

the u.s. border. >> there's no water, no ice. so i'm just crossing over here to get something for my family out there. >> reporter: home movies and twitter pics pop up on the internet showing massive damage in maeks callie. the border was closed to northbound vehicles following the quake backing up traffic. shockwaves rippled from south of the border to swimming pools in los angeles 300 miles away. >> house was shaking pretty good. >> reporter: more than 13 million people live in the area rattled by the quake. >> an earthquake this big happens over a surface. >> reporter: fortunately the epicenter was in a not so densely populated desert area south of the border. >> if this fault had run right through the center of mexicali, we would be seeing much more extensive damage. >> reporter: now, there have been a number of aftershocks. we saw a few of them this morning ourselves. this quake triggering what

seismologists predict will be years of temblors. >> bill whitaker, thanks. joining us now is usgs size mole xwis dr. lucy jones. good morning. >> good morning. >> bill whitaker just reported that this quake and its aftershocks triggered what seismologists predict years of temblors. and are you talking about small trem ares or any potential magnitude shall. >> that's what an after shock oig sequence does. they will ten for years. and they will primarily be around the fault that produced the earthquake. we have seen when we have earthquakes this large the potential to trigger earthquakes farther away. we had a magnitude 3 here in los angeles credit. but those more distant ones will quite small and only for the next couple of days. >> this is an earthquake as powerful as haiti's that luckily was not centered in a populated

area. we know if it had run right through parts of mexico, it could have been disastrous, what you about southern california. is southern california prepared for an earthquake of this magnitude is this because the last major one was 6.7, this was 7.2. >> we have almost the seam size earthquake back in 1992 a couple years before north ridge's called the plan ders. and be prepared. we are a lot better than if we haven't done what we've done, but we can always do who are. a 7.2 will be causing damage nearby sort of no matter what you do. you can't secure your whole life to the point that it won't be affecteded by an earthquake like this. >> what lesson should we all take from this earthquake? >> well, we need to remember that we live in an earthquake country. north ridge was 15 years ago. we've had a very quiet 15 years. that's in the long term average. magnitude 7s every ten years is more of the long term rate for california and we need to be ready for these type of events.

>> dr. lucy jones, thank you so much, doctor. >> thank you. now here's harry. tiger woods returns to golf today at the game' most prestigious event, the masters. armen keteyian is in augusta with more on tiger's much anticipated news conference scheduled for later today. armen, between morning. >> reporter: good morning, harry. tiger woods has been quietly practicing at augusta for the last couple weeks. today in that highly anticipated press conference, he'll face a roomful of media for the first time since the accident. >> i was wrong. i was foolish. i don't get to play by different rules. >> reporter: the afternoon media session marks the first time woods will answer questions from a room full of reporters. and likely one of the last stops on his apology tour. >> the truth is very painful at times. >> reporter: in a series of carefully crafted confession al, woods seemed to be setting the tone for today, admitting to living a double life of serial

infidelity. >> i tried to stop but i couldn't stop and it was just -- it was horrific. i saw a person that i never thought i would ever become. >> reporter: while revealing little about the circumstances sush rounding the car accident, his multiple affairs, or relationship with wife, elin, who is not expected to attend, she was spotted in miami over the weekend. when woods does emerge in full public view, he'll find himself wrapped in golf's most beautiful coccoon, a chomp i don't know ship praised for its pristine setting, well behaved fans and security. >> he's going to need it all lieu this period. >> reporter: now after five months off, woods is coming back to golf's greatest stage. he first played back in 1995. home to four of his most cherished victories. a place he holds the best career scoring average of any active

pro ahead of phil mickelson and earn any he wills. if woods stays in the hunt, record tv ratings are all but assured. >> i think if tiger can make the cut and somehow get himself anywhere in contention going in to the weekend, you'll get super bowl type ratings. >> reporter: speaking of big, harry, a huge line of cars at 6:00 this morning already getting lined up to get into augusta at 8 ox when the gates open this morning. about a crowd between 40,000 and 50,000 people to watch tiger's first public appearance today. >> armen keteyian in augusta. thank you very much. also with us in augusta today is a man who has worn the coveted green jacket three different times. cbs sports lead golf analyst sir nick faldo. nick, good morning. >> good morning, harry. and a good morning to golfers. >> people are very much excited about this week to come. if you're tiger woods, which is going to be more difficult,

facing the gauntlet of press today or actually teeing off for the first time a couple of days from now? >> yeah, good point. i think the media today, probably tiger has had an opportunity to rehearse that. he knows basically what he's going to be asked. he knows how to defend those questions. for me, i've been talking about it the last couple months, getting back on to the golf course for the very first time, this is an environment that he has always been so comfortable with. he's had the golfing world basically in his hands for 10 or 12 years and suddenly when he comes out there today will be a different day, monday is an amazing day here at the masters. 40,000, 50,000 people, this is the first time he's faced the public arena. but when he finally gets to the first tee as a golfer on thursday, i think it will be a very interesting time for me how he copes with this whole new environment. >> he played a practice round with his old friend yesterday and o'meara said that he told

tiger this is the place where you belong. about this h is what you you love to do. i'm sure tiger and a lot of his friends are anticipating that this is the place where he will function better than perhaps he's functioned in real life. >> well, getting back on to the golf course is really what he needs to do now. he's had enough problems away from it. but i don't think it will be quite easy because coming to play at the masters, he's had five months from hitting a competitive golf shot. after he came back from the knee injury, he was a little bit out, half a club out as we would call it. you cannot be half a club out when you play the masters. he hasn't hit a competitive putt for five months. these greens are the most treacherous greens out will. so he's making -- i agree it was a sensible choice to come here to the masters because the environment is controlled and he has an opportunity of an element of a comfort zone. but, boy, it's extremely

difficult golf course to come out if you've just had a five month layoff. >> you mow what the pressure is like. you've won the jacket three times. is it possible to even anticipate what the pressure will be like for him come thursday morning? >> yeah, exactly. thursday is a big daily, it's an important day if you come here as a normal golfer. the first round, i've been there for me, the first round is so important. it sets your tone for the week. there's a lot of apprehension when you come here because takes fabulous golf course, extremely difficult now. and if you just get out of control and start to lose they thinks and start to bleed your golf short, maybe you won't be able to save yourself. but for him to come here with this whole new environment, because for me, tiger had an aura around him, through his records, but just his presence. and this, you know, here again, he has no idea how he will react to this when he stands out there

for the first time on the first tee. he's got the world of golf looking at him and he knows they're talking behind his back the last five months. and if he's been reading the media or the youtube stuff and all the south park stuff, my goodness. his own personal self-esteem has taken a hell of a hit. how can he get back to an even deal again. about the line, he's got to be happy and comfortable out there. >> we'll all be watching. nick faldo, thank you very much for your time this morning. we'll look forward to your comments later this week. >> thanks. >> you're a golf every, aren't aren't you, harry in. >> in a manner of speaking. >> so would you sake it's like 75% mental focus? >> no, that's why we call it a game, because it's all played between your ears. >> how do you get all that out of your mind? >> that's clearly before before what nick was talking about is so important because this guy has always been seen invincible.

and does this make him vulnerable now and will other players be able to take vak. we'll see. >> a lot of people will be done tune manage to find out. right now we turn our attention to the news desk where betty nguyen is filling in for erica hill. good morning. good morning, everybody. well, they are calling it a miracle. in north central china this morning, more than 100 coal miners trapped in the depth of a flooded mine for more than a week have emerged alive. peter sharp of britain sky news has the latest. >> reporter: this high school been something of a miracle. for nearly a week, no sign of life. on friday, they heard faint tappings on a pipe, but nothing since then. it was only this morning that the first of the rescued miners started to be brought to the surface. at the moment now, there are more than 300 rescuers below ground, 600 meeters below ground, trying to find the remaining miners that were

entombed when the water broke through, but it is a remarkable bit of good news for the chinese mining industry which is widely regarded as the most dangerous in the world, 2600 miners died only last year, so it's been welcomed by the mining community in china and of course by the men's families. a deadly bombing attack targeting the american consulate in pakistan this morning. at least three people were killed in four explosions. huge plumes of smoke were seen rising into the air and gunfire was also heard near the heavily guarded com pound. earlier, a suicide bomber killed at least 41 people in a separate attack in the same region. let's take tout vatican where defending the pope at easter services. as pope benedict led easter mass yesterday, a cardinal said the pontiff was the target of what he called petty gossip. the pope did not mention the rising priest sex abuse scandal.

>> the shuttle "discovery" is on its way to the international space station this morning. "discovery" lit up the pre-dawn darkness as it soared away from the kennedy space center at 6:21 eastern time. always an amazing sight. it's on a 13 day mission carrying a crew of seven along with tons of equipment and supplies for the space station. on wall street, the dow jones is set to hit an important milestone. rebecca jarvis is if he new york stock exchange with more on that. >> stock futures are pointing higher this morning as you mentioned with eninvestors focusing their attention on the health of the u.s. consumer. they will have their first opportunity to digest friday's job's report which showed the biggest improvement in the labor picture in more than three years. on top of that, it showed improvement in the important private sector where many economists want to see the improvement for sustainable growth. over the weekend, we heard from a number of obama top economic advisers, among them larry

summers, suggesting that the momentum is there that, in fact, the jobs numbers are running ahead of where some of the administration's forecasts had been and former fed chair alan greenspan said that the numbers are showing momentum. we'll see if that can be sustained through more economic reports h week. >> all right, rebecca jarvis. thank you. now we want to take to you dave price in indianapolis this morning with a first check of the weather. good morning. got some cheer leaders behind you. >> reporter: you bet we do. good morning to you here at indianapolis. bring it down, people,

and you'll also meet the proud parents of twins who were born, listen to this, a week apart. and, yes, ladies, that means the mother went through labor twice. >> god bless her. >> we'll tell you about the special delivery in just a minute. first, though, a big day for golf and tiger woods. six weeks ago, he gave a very controlled press conference. his first since his sex scandal made headlines. today woods will hold a second press conference, but this it time it will be open to questions from reporters. how will he do? joining us now from orlando is kelly tilghman of the golf channel, one of only two to 13wer view woods a couple weeks ago, and from detroit author and columnist mitch albom. good morning to you both. kelly, let me start with you. do you an tis pit tiger woods will say much more than he had to say to you just a couple of weeks ago? >> i think i'll probably have similar answers because we shot the gam you ultimate ut in the

had. we were able to get in some 20 plus questions with him. you might have heard some of the main topics that will be covered, but i'm sure with this more open forum and a lot more questions from different reporter, they will go a lot deeper in some area areas. >> he had certain boundary lines that he basically cordoned off and said you can ask, but i'm not really going to have a conversation with you about it. don't you anticipate it will be like that later on this afternoon? >> well, that's the tiger woods we've known ever since he set foot on the world stage. he's always been very private even as it related to his workout fp for years we couldn't find out if he was bench pressing let alone the details of his marriage between him and elin. so obviously this is the man we all know. >> mitch, let me ask you, this is such an interesting confluence of sport and scandal. i'm not sure i remember anything as widely anticipated in terms of a news conference as what's happening later on today. >> i guess because tiger hasn't

been readily available up until now. but there have been a lot of things like that in the past. in morning where you are, alex rodriguez pretty much went through a similar thing. it was headlines everywhere. stories of him cheating on his wife, strippers. there was a divorce. there were children involved. and here we saw alex rodriguez celebrated as a champion lal year with the new york yankees. so these things always feel red hot, but they tend to cool down. >> in the moment. i guess we really do think we've never seen anything quite like this before. can we talk with golf for up a can he will minutes? we've had nick faldo on earlier. he was talking about the difficulty of playing the masters just under any circumstances. how much more pressure, mitch, is on tiger woods when he gets ready to tee up the ball on thursday? >> well, i think people sometimes think that all tiger woods has to do step out there and he'll win the golf tournament. he hasn't won this thing in five years. he didn't win any majors last

year. it's always tough for him to step out there or anybody else to try to win the masters. it is a pretty controlled environment. considering sports, i mentioned alex rodriguez, he could come up to bat with all the similar things in the background and have to hear it from the fans and stands yelling and screaming. golf, you're in the allowed to whispering and especially at augusta. i don't think tiger will hear a lot of noise. so anything that might enter represent his concentration might be from his own head. and he's proven over time to be pretty good at compartmentalizing. i would imagine he would have been had to pretty good at compartmentalizing everything that led up to this to lead the life that he was living before. >> i guess you're right. kelly, let me ask you this. in terms of the golf itself, what is the anticipation about how he might play? >> i think he's spoiled us in the past coming back from long layoffs, whether it be physical injury or emotional heart break from the loss of his father in 2006. he did miss the cut at wing foot coming back after his dad passed

away, but it wasn't too many weeks later that he won a major championship at the british open. so obviously he's pretty between in this sense. this is a process of a defendant kind, a comeback of a different kind, but he's done so well in years past, i've always said he eats pressure for breakfast, competition for lunch, he had records for dinner, and he's still hungry for more. so in is a guy that's unlike anything we've ever seen before. >> i think that's right. mitch albom and kelly tilghman, thank you both for your insight today. we do very much appreciate it. dave price is in indianapolis. boy, you talk about another big event. that's tonight. dave, are they ready? >> reporter: we have on this side the

i think butler might have an advantage because they have that extra player they can put in. thanks so much, dave. up next, a california surfer sets a record and a whale watches her do it. her remarkable story only on "the early show" when we return. depression is a serious medical condition it can take so much out of you. i feel like i have to wind myself up just to get out of bed. then... well... i have to keep winding myself up

dennis renz. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> jennifer, let me start with you. you go in for a routine checkup at how many weeks? >> 28 weeks. >> you're going through the routine checkup and what did the doctors say? you were dilated? >> yeah, she said that i started to dilate and then she sent me to the hospital. she didn't tell me how far i was dilated. >> right to the hospital. and soon there at after, little grace was born. how big was grace? >> she was 1 point, 13 ounces, 13.5 inches long. >> so she goes right immediately into intensive care. they put other a ventilator, right? >> right. >> and she's off the vents late tore right now? >> yeah, she's on a c pap. >> so one baby is born. i'm sure you're anticipating the

other coming therearea ter. what did the doctors say? >> the doctors said that we were going to say it was a gift and we were going to see how long he would stay in. >> noah was going to hang around. so one day turns in to two days which turns in to three. a week hater, noah comes along and then did you actually go into labor then some first, did you go to labor with grace? >> yes. >> do go back into labor then with noah? >> yeah. >> twice in a week that's probably enough, right? >> yeah. >> and how big was noah? >> noah was two pounds, 15 ounces, 15.5 inches long. >> isn't that something. wow. he really -- he made some significant progress in that week it sounds like. >> yeah, he did. >> dad, how are you holding up? >> i'm doing better now.

>> what a wild ride. and what do the doctors tell you about the babies? how are they dodoing? >> they're both doing well. >> dennis, what was this like for you? it's one thing to be anticipating a delivery, but then to go have one happen in one week and have another happen in another week, it must have been crazy. >> it was a roller coaster ride. the whole time, we first found out that jennifer was pregnant at 12 weeks, the ultrasound, it showed appeared to be one baby. and at 17 weeks, we found out we were having twins. from there, jennifer went on bedrest and then 28 weeks, i'm at work getting a phone call from jennifer saying that she's heading to the hospital and i needed to get there as soon as i could. >> wow. and it's a great story. we're so pleased to find out that both grace and noah are doing well and mom and dad, you guys look like you're holding up

together pretty good, too. thank you so much for taking the time to be with us and congratulations. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> you bet. take care. they look pretty happy. very rare occurrence. >> yeah. most obstetricians might never see this. i've seen it once in my career. usually again in this case with very premature babies, with twins that are in separate sacks. we have to mention that, that's key. and again, we have a saying, it's better to deliver a very premature baby than a premature infected baby. so once the first baby came out, they were looking at the second one, looked stable, they monitored for infection. keep it in as long as possible. >> there you go. thanks, dr. jennifer ashton. up next, april 15th. it's looming. what's in store for you? when we come back.

in this morning's "moneywatch," paying the taxes you owe. more than 15 million americans could unexpectedly owe tax this

is year and many of them may not have enough cash on hand. so our financial adviser ray martin is here to tell us about some draet difference ways to pay your taxes. >> this is happening because maggie last year the federal government told employers to reduce the taxes taken out of worker's paycheck so their net paycheck would be larger because a lot of people would be getting this making work pay tax credit, $400 to $800 when they file their 2009 tax return. the thing is, when they refused the taxes, people paying in less than they were paying, it's not equalling the tax credit and as a result, a lot of people will unexpectedly owe more in taxes because they had too little taxes taken out of their paycheck because of the change last year. >> and maybe they're not even aware that though taxes though taxes. >> about 15 million people aren't really aware of this. >> so what do you suggest to

people who get this unpleasant surprise? >> don't curl up and hide. you have to file your tax return or an extension by april 15th. here is why. the penalty for not filing on time is 5% a month, up to 25 respect of the amount you owe. >> but you'll city owe tstill o money. what do you do if you can't pay it? >> the aen aen ality for paying late instead of filing late is half a percent a month. so consider a loan. a loan from a bank or credit union. you might get a lower interest rate. car loan on your squequity line credit. those might be at a lower cost. >> you can pay your taxes with a credit cakarcard? >> you can do that, but you'll pay a 2% to 4% convenience fee plus whatever the interest rate is on your credit card.

that's going to cost you more than maybe owe to go theing to . don't do that. >> so let's say you can't get a loan or pay with a credit card. does the irs offer you payment options? >> they certainly do and people don't really know this. it's newer option called and online payment agreement. you go to irs.gov to look that up. and basically when you fill out a page and say i filed my tax return on time, i can't pay, and they'll offer you you a couple options. they'll offer and you 120 day short term extension where you don't have to pay an application fee, you'll owe the late payment and interest really of combined about 10%, or they are have a monthly payment plan where you can make payments over five years. and work that out with them. so and online payment agreement is a great way to go. >> but what about if somebody is really, really in trouble and

they can't afford to pay, what do you suggest they do? >> you're in the ultimate between a rock and a hard place. you want to consider what's called an offer in compromise or oic. this is for people who have severe doubt as to the ability for the irs to collect from them, they don't have wages, they don't have property, just no way they'll pay. or doubt to the correctness of the liability here. you work out a settlement with the irs, you may only pay a fraction of what you owe and settle the matter in full, but this this is very difficult to get and it's for people in really tough circumstances. see a ax pro if you're going to go that route. >> maybe it's worth arguing, though. >> if there's doubt to collectibility or extreme hardship. the ir scht will listen, but only about 21% of people successfully prevail in that oic or offer in compromise. >> ray martin, thank you so much. you can get all these tax tips on cbsmoneywatch.com. now here's harry. and still to come, you've heard of texting and sexting.

hour, the reports all say that both tiger woods and jesse james were texting their alleged mistresses. so this morning we'll be talking about the dangers of h which is being called chexting and it's playing into a lot of divorces. >> cheat merges with texting. and in honor of the battle between duke and butler, we'll create some championship inspired cocktails for your parties tonight. the scotsmen are suddenly awake. and we'll be going head to head in a mixed drink match-up. >> we're making mark ritas, and that's my name. >> home court advantage right there. and speaking of a little basketball, let's take to you dave in indiana. >> reporter: from basketball to cooking, who needs kitchen stadium when you have the lg kitchen right here and the lg coach's cookoff just completed over the weekend.

of course make you it into the big dance. you lost to old douminion, but you had a great year. >> we left a little early. we'd like to lay a little longer next season. >> but the incredible thing is you tell wound up here in indianapolis and winning one of the big competitions. >> the lg coach's cookoff, it went right down to the wire. i think i threw a shot in at the buzzer to win it. >> so you're competing for what? >> we were competing for the championship of the lg coach's kickoff. i had a great coach. we all had sous chefs to work with us. and i had a guy that really motivated me. i was afraid he was going to cut my finger off a couple times, but as you can tell right there, he really motivated me. >> and what did you wind up cooking? >> we had the lamb chops, mashed potatoes, green beans. again, all things we couldn't have done without the coaching. >> now, you wound up cooking one mean meal and lg has given and

you can check for -- >> $10,000 to coaches versus cancer. that's the chosen charity of the national association of basketball coaches. >> terrific. that is great. now let's switch gears for a second. let's move on to what's going to take place tonight. let's talk about it for two seconds. pros and cons of each team and i need to you call it about. >> he was an assist aunt at duke for eight years, but i live in the state of indiana, so that's a tricky call. but duke is playing very well. butler has magical car made behind them, but i have to pull for my blue devils because i spent eight years with mike k. >> what is the advantage of having lucas, the big stadium tonight, filled with so many people from indiana that extra man? >> it will be a road game for duke. no question. the butler people and the state of indiana people have taken all the tickets. so it will be a great advantage for butler and it will let them play with great confidence. >> you can coach basketball, you can cook.

now let's see if you can do weather. let's put all right, good morning, let's look at the forecast, it's going to be a superway to start off work and school. we'll have a high of 87 degrees. absolutely delightful. 54 is the overnight low and 82

degrees tomorrow and sunny and clouds and 85, five shy of 90. on wednesday, we'll look at a record on wednesday. we'll check that out. thursday, back down to 16 above normal and showers friday and mm that's a quick look at our weather forecast. maggie, back to you and we'll be cooking this stuff in just a couple of minutes. >> sounds good. combine cheating on your spouse and texting your mistress and you get chexting. something we've seen in both the teag tiger woods and jesse james scandals. with sus dr. robi ludwig and raoul felder. good morning to both of you. so both tiger and yes, sir city james were allegedly caught exchanging pretty racy text messages with their supposed mistresses. legally how do these come into play in a divorce? >> it's a work in progress. every lawyer, every divorce

lawyer, will tell you that when the spouse comes in and complains about their spouse, there are other witnesses in the room. the other witnesses are all these text messages. it seems you can't commit adultery without getting involved in text messaging. and some of these are the most ridiculously intimate things. >> and it's so easy to acceptse text that you'll regret later. >> it makes cheating in the old days look really difficult. there are so many boundary issues. it is really easy to send a racy text mess thinkage. and what happens is you can look at it throughout the day and get turned on and stimulated which leaves someone to be quite impulsive if they want to be. >> how often in counseling couples do you find that arguments break out over text messages? >> it comes up, but it's certainly becoming more and more frequent because really your phone is becoming leak your computer. it's almost like your personal

biography, your personal diary. so you can really tell a lot about a person if you look at what's going on in their phone and as well as their computer. >> a f. a woman takes her husband's phone and shows you his text message, you can look at it? >> now you're talking about stuff that's borderline. lawyers have problems with this. there's in really clear law on texting. there's a lot of clear law on e-mails. different states have different laws. so if you analogize that to e-mails, it could be legal or illegal. there's another problem here. you know if you get something illegal in a criminal case, it's suppressed. in a civil case, there's no suppression. so you can have somebody who's committed the crime by getting the thing, but yet the divorce judge hears it. and somehow these idiots are sitting alone in the middle of the night and'sing nobody else sees them. many times a wife said can you believe it, i was in bed and he was sitting at the foot of the bed doing this stuff.

>> there's a lot of denial when it comes to texting. and if it's easy to do, it can be done anywhere, it can be done while food shopping at the supermarket. >> we've talked about the intimacy. do you consider, do you find that the couples you counsel considering texting in and of itself even about it doesn't go anywhere cheating? >> it's a betrayal and there's deceit. it's really more emotional cheating if it doesn't lead to sex, but very often these situations do lead to sex, so it's either a prerequisite to something physical happening or something physical has already happened. >> you're opening a daenk anger door. >> and when they write, oh, i live you have with killses fr love you with kisses from top -- >> everybody's a sexual poet. >> is this a vehicle for spouses catching one another cheat something. >> that will be there forever and ever. it's a little harder to get the text messages and e-mail, but

it's out there and 15-year-old kids are working on it right now and eventually it will be very simple to do. >> are laws going to change given the advances in technology? >> the problem is law is the only science or quasi science that looks backwards, not forwards. so by the time law gets to it they're two light years ahead of whoever is making the laws. >> what do you say to a woman who suspects her husband's cheating, should she look at her husband's e-mail and texts? >> you don't want to be the person who is mistrustful and going into somebody else's property, but you want to sit and you have a conversation because obviously the communication is breaking down. and that's what's important here to say, listen, i sense you're not happy with me, are things going on in the relationship. i'm paranoid, we need to deal with this. >> thanks so much. good to have you you here. and now let's go back to indianapolis where dave is getting ready to cook. >> announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by lance sandwich crackers.

lance. love the little things. we're with tim love out of ft. worth. of course you know him from the western bistro. that you will fine good texan cooking. he's now come here. not only to the lg kitchen, but to indianapolis to teach people how to cook. good food. all right. what are we cooking this morning and how are we -- this is what they made in the coach's cookoff. >> that's right. this is what i put together for the l fwchlt coach's cookoff. american lamb chops, these beautiful t bone lamb 's the di american wllamb chops, irish la chops -- >> beautiful little lamb chops, kind of a combination of a mini new york strip and -- >> just so you can see it, that's the american lamb chop right there.

>> you don't have to necessarily ha marinate them, but it enhanceses flavor. so a little rosemary, red wine, oil. put a little salt and pepper on them. >> now, a lot of people want to know how much oil do i put, do i use a nonstick pan? >> you don't have to necessarily use a nonstick pan, but just enough oel il to coat the bottof the pan. >> you want to put the salt and pepper side down so you get a nice seer on it. salt and pepper on the back side. >> there we go. >> i'll get a good seer on both sides. >> how long is a good seer? >> about a minute and a half on each side. >> and the lamb is probably an inch, inch and a quarter thick? >> that's right. you want to put these into this

beautiful lg oven in the back here. >> there we go. >> no problem. >> i have some already prepared. >> magical how that happens. >> you see the these color? >> we put in two lamb chops and three came out. do that at home. all right. so now what do we have? >> only in the lg kitchen can that happen. >> this is look going home depot in the kitchen. we have potatoes -- >> what kind? >> i like to use yukon golds. >> this are buttery in their own nature. >> that's right. you don't want to necessarily boil the potato, you want to simmer them. if you boil them, you're leaching out the starch and it makes them gummy. so just simmer them until they're soft. what this creates is an ever lasting nonlumpy potato.

come on this, isn't the weather, you can do it. now, that's perfect. and then you come across here. just like so. >> let's get an inside shot. can we get a tight shot? >> a little bit more in there real quickly. >> we've got about a minute left. >> and then add warm butt erraner and cream. this is where you make the choice do you want to put this on a plate or do i just want to mix up my mashed potatoes and sit on the couch and watch the national championship. >> the less movement the better. let the people out court exercise. >> turns out beautiful just like this. i've got some beans and over vegetabnlg other vegetables and what not, but a beautiful meal. ten minutes to make. always smooth, not lumpy.
