♪ and i will always love you >> meet the enter met sensation early this thursday morning >> meet the enter met sensation early this thursday morning april 8th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs good morning on this spring day from new york. i'm maggie rodriguez. >> i'm harry smith. good morning. it almost sounds like a bad bar joke, right? so a middle east diplomat goes into a restroom at an airplane, lights up a cigarette and comes out and making a joke about a shoe about himmer and what happens next? >> not funny. >> we'll have that report. but first breaking news to report about the west virginia mine disaster. finally rescue workers are inside the mine where at least 25 were killed in monday's explosion. conditions are finally safe enough. jim axelrod is in naoma, west

virginia where the latest briefing has just wrapped up. >> reporter: good morning. and we're told it should take two, maybe three hours for rescue workers to get to the place where they think four missing miners might be. >> right now we're in a full rescue. >> reporter: early this morning, four teams, 32 people total, boarded underground railcars and started the search for the four missing miners. >> riding as far as they can and then going by foot from that location. >> reporter: until early this morning, poisonous gases had been keeping rescue crews from heading back into the mine. a team of emergency workers drilled a series of holes more than 1,000 feet down to vent the toxic mix. officials are hoping to reach an air tight refuge center stocked with enough food and water to last four days where they hope to find three miners. they believe the fourth miner is no more than 1,000 feet away from them. >> we're hopeful that we can go

in and finish this mission, but if we encounter conditions that preclude that, we'll make adjustments. >> reporter: at a candlelight vigil last night, people wore miners uniforms in tribute to those lost and those they hope will still be found al hive. eula wright thinks her nephew is one of the four missing and will be found alive. >> i won't accept it until they go in and let everybody know. i picture him still ricky. >> reporter: on monday, the same day as the explosion, massey energy, the owner of the mine, was cited twice by federal authorities for safety violations, but a top federal mine official says he's confident those violations had nothing to do with the explosion. maggie? >> jim axelrod in know made, thank you. joining us now, governor mansion. good morning.

>> good morning. how close do you feel we are to having an answer about the fate of those four missing miners? >> we believe we'll have that answer today and it will move very rapidly. at 4:55 this morning, we had four teams go into the upper big branch portal. and that's 32 rescuers and they're progressing pretty rapidly. they're on a man trip on the rails and they'll be able to use that until they have to stop because of the conditions. with you they have to be very cautious not to get ahead of any danger, so they'll be monitoring and assessing the complete conditions of that mine and then h they'll have to do the rest of the way by foot carrying all of their gear in. we're in a total rescue mode right now, maggie, until we are able to go in there and find the four miners that we haven't been able to locate. that means that we'll be in a total rescue mode. if for any reason, and i can tell you the desires of the

family, if for any reason that we get to a certain point and we can't get back to where we know that we have not located three of those, the families' desire and we'll see if the conditions will allow will switch to a dual role of rescue and recovery so that we can start bringing our loved ones, our loved miners and family members, out and do our recovery as we're still doing our rescue. but right now, totally rescue and rescue only. >> in other words, as long as it's safe, these 32 rescuers will not turn back until they find these miners one way or the other, whether a rescue or a recovery. >> that's correct. that's correct. and we pretty much know where they should be. we have that sliver of hope that if anybody was able to make it to the chamber that we haven't baby ab been able to check, if they can get back into that, that's where

they could not get before and they had to be stopped because of such bad conditions in the air. we'll see if we can progress back into there, we call it they'll be in a free air, fult, operating without any apparatus. if they have to go to the apparat apparatuses, you can only go so far. but the families' desires and wishes are if they have to wait until they can finish that part of the rescue, please at that time they've asked to start the recovery and bring the loved ones out. >> we certainly salute the efforts of those re could you sayers and hope for a good answer later today. governor mansion, thank you so much. >> we're still praying for that miracle. now more breaking news overnight, that terror scare in midair. a middle eastern dip will he matt was detained by air marshals last night after smoking in an airplane's restroom and joking he was lighting his shoes on fire. bob orr is in washington with

the latest. >> reporter: well, it was as you say quite a scare. for about an hour or so last night, there were reports that another shoe bombing had been attempted on a u.s. passenger plane. firt jets were scrambled and it was only after the jetliner landeded in denver that we learned what really triggered the alarm. he's described as third second to the kuttary embassy. he was on a flight bound for denver. firnls say he at some point left his first class seat and went to the plane's bathroom to apparently smoke a cigarette. when he emerged, two air marshals also in first class stopped hip and sat with him for the remainder of the flight. one passenger told his wife it was handled quickly and quietly. >> he called and said there's been an stiincident, some guy g

mad and had a tantrum. >> reporter: he reportedly made a joke about trying to light his shoes on fire, a reference to the shoe bomber richard reid. and that set off alarm bells. two f-16 fighter jets were scrambled from buckley air force base in colorado and escorted the boeing 757 for the last five minutes of its flight. the plane carrying 157 passengers and a crew of six arrived in denver at 6:50 mountain time. the ambassador to the u.s. defendeded him. he was travel to go denver on official embassy business on my instructions and he was certainly not engaged in any threatening activity. the facts will reveal that this was a mistake. in the end, we have to say no explosives were found, that investigators determined he would not be charged with any crime. but we have to say the incident has again jank gelled nerves coming as it did just 3 1/2 months after the attempted christmas day bombing in detroit. >> bob, when authorities when

all is said and done authorities look at this as an act stupidity? >> reporter: that's good way to put it. a numb top officials, nobody was laughing. this was serious business. it's just fortunate that nothing worse happened here. >> bob orr in washington this morning. thank you so much. tim burney was also a passenger on flight 663 sitting just in front of mohammed. and he joins us this morning. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm well. what an incident last night. did you notice any odd behavior or anything strange going on on this flight last night? >> you know, i didn't. it didn't become apparent that there was a problem at least not to me until we had landed and that we'd pulled off the runway and everything started to go pretty fast and then i realized that there was a problem. >> so you were not aware, for instance, that this guy had been smoking in the restroom or that marshals had basically taken him back to his seat and had him in

quotation marks in custody on the flight? >> no, i wasn't aware of that as i said until we had landed. everything seemed normal to me. i got to admit, i was working on my computer until we were in our final approach, but as we landed and pulled off the runway, the pilot came on and indicated that we need to stay in our seats, we were obviously far away from the gate, and it seemed odd that we would park that far away waiting for a gate. and then the flight attendants came on and told us to stay off of our cell phones. and then it turned out to be the air marshal in front of me was talking on his telephone and i could hear some of the things he was saying at that point. i saw lights outside and you could tell that there was something going on. and it was focused on the seat behind me. >> so the air marshal is right in front of you. what were you able to ascertain from their conversation? >> well, i'll tell you, i heard -- i was in the third row

by the window. and the air marshal that was directly in front of me a little bit to the side in the aisle seat as well as the air marshal that was sitting next to the person they took off the plane was sitting behind me and on the aisle and i kind of heard both conversations. the person in front of me was talking to what i believe is a superior and was getting instruction, was relaying some information. i heard him talking about that. and then i started to pay attention to the conversation behind me and i heard the air marshal behind me indicate to the passenger to tell the truth and just relax. and they appeared to have everything under control. could you tell there was a heightened sense of awareness, but it certainly appeared they had everything under control. gr. >> so i guess if you're an air marshal you're making sure that this guy is who he says he is and what he has allegedly done is just that, just smoking a cigarette in the restroom. >> as i said, i wasn't aware of the fact that he had been in the restroom.

but, again, they had it under control. it was clear that the action was behind me with this individual passenger, but they had it under control. the pilot was communicating to us. the flight attendants were communicating. so i look back on it and certainly it was almost surreal, but they handled it so well, i think they helped us all remain calm as passengers. >> very interesting stuff. we do appreciate your time. thank positive sharing your story with us. >> you bet. thank you. betty nguyen is at the news desk. >> let's check in at 7:12. good morning. well, it is a new start for the united states and russia. in prague this morning, president obama and the russian president signed a major nuclear arms reduction treaty that slashes the number of strategic nuclear warhead hs. here's a live picture of that. chip reid is traveling with the president. >> reporter: well, it was almost exactly one year ago that the

president came here to prague to call for a world without nuclear weapons. the president says the treaty signed today is progress in that direction. president obama arrived in prague thursday morning to sign what the white house calls a historic agreement with russia on reducing nuclear arms. white house advisers say a full year of intense negotiations has also helped foster better relations with russia and with president dmitry medvedev. today's meeting was the eighth time the two leaders have met. >> together we've stopped that drift and proven the benefits of cooperation. today is an important milestone for nuclear security and nonproliferation and no u.s./russia relations. it fulfills or common objective to negotiate a new take strategic arms reduction treaty. it includes significant reductions in the nuclear weapons that we will deploy.

it cuts our delivery vehicles by roughly half. it includes a comprehensive var any indication regime which allows us to further build trust. >> reporter: the new treaty calls for reducing arsenals from 2200 warheads to 1550. the president says this treaty is an important step in the direction of a world without nuclear weapons. a long term goal he proclaimed here in prague in a speech just over a year ago. top white house officials say they're hopeful the treaty will be ratified by the senate later this year by a large bipartisan majority. experts say the nuclear threat from russia is not what it once was. >> i have to say i don't lie awake late at night worrying about a russian nuclear attack, but i'll still feel a little bit better and i think americans will be a little bit safer when there's less russian strategic weapons that can be pointed at the united states. >> reporter: also high on the agenda for discussions between the two presidents, what to do about iran. sanctions to try to get iran to stop its nuclear weapons

program. chip reid, cbs news, prague. in other news, the taliban released a individuvideo appare showing bowe bergdahl pleading for his freedom. >> i'm begging you bring me home. bring us all home back to our families, back to my family. please. >> there is no way to verify when this video was shot or if bergdahl is still alive. well, there is new evidence this morning that toyota executives knew all about the accelerator problems with their vehicles and did nothing. it's an e-mail sent by a now retired toyota vice president before the big recall in january quoting now, we need to come clean, the time to hide on this one is over. we're not protecting our customers by keeping this quiet. of course we'll continue to follow that story for you. but now let's check out the

chairman of august gus take national had har be word ps. >> our hero did not live up to the expectations of a role model we south for his children. but future will never again be measured only by his pressure answer against par, but measured by the sincerity of his evidents to change. >> reporter: act two officially begins at 1:42 eastern time this afternoon when woods tees it up at the masters for real. >> everybody's excited to have him back, all the players are excited to have him back. i think he's excited to be back. >> reporter: matt kuchar is playing with woods here today. he was last paired with woods back in 1998 when kuchar was an amateur champion. this time the spotlight will be much brighter. >> this tournament will probably be the most watched golf event probably much all-time, so i get a front row seat for it. >> reporter: now as a new nike ad featuring the voice of woods' late father hits the airwaves -- >> i want to find out what your thinking was, i want to find out what your feelings are, and did

you learn anything. >> reporter: -- questions will his game an bound. can tiger stay under control, claim a fifth green jacket, despite five months off from competitive golf, the second lanlg r. longest be aens of his career. so many aspects to the game of golf and this is such a difficult golf course. but tiger's won four of these before, so he wouldn't be here if he didn't think he had a chance. >> reporter: three time masters champion nick faldo disagrees questioning how quickly woods will regain his form and focus after just four practice rounds this week where his swing seemed shaky at times. >> i personally think it's going to be quite a chance for him. >> reporter: whatever the final outcome, it will be hard not to watch. as woods attempts to rise from the tab employed ashes and the world awaits the end of act three. well, harry, it doesn't look like it right now, but the wild card here today is the weather. it's plane hot and sun thi all

week, but the forecast is no thunderstorms adding yet another element to this drama. >> armen keteyian in augusta. yeah, shakespeare. also in august gus augusta is jim nantz. jimmy, good morning. >> good morning. >> i want to talk a little bit about some of the things that billy payne said yesterday. and i think he encompassed the feelings of a lot of different folks. we said we hope and friday that our great champion will begin his new life here tomorrow in a positive, hopeful and constructive manner. but this time with a significant difference from the past. this year, he will not be just for him, but for all of us who believe in second chances. the people there in augusta it seems to me really want to see tiger woods succeed. >>ic everybody wants to see

tiger back playing golf and i think the chairman, he does this every year, he has a state of the union for golf, if you will, on the eve of the tournament. he touches on a whole lot of different topics and tiger was just one of the things he talked about. and chairman payne is a very bold and daring leader and he's also a man who writes his own scripts and speeches and very eloquent and i think he put it into appropriate words there yesterday. >> you have been able to see, we have all been able to see, a lot of tiger over the last couple of days. what do you think, do you see -- what do you think when you see him out there? >> i see -- i definitely see a change, harry. he's interacting with people a whole lot more. i was monday night calling the championship game in independent map police and i had to scoot down here first thing tuesday morning and just by chance the first player that i ran into was tiger by 10:00 in the morning on tuesday. and of course this was pot for some sort of sit down interview, this was just out casually walking the golf course and i ran into tiger on the 11th hole.

very outgoing, just conversation with how things are going, talked about the basketball tournament. that kind of nature. i've heard from a lot of people this week how much he's been interacting with his fellow pros, many of whom he hasn't seen in the last five months. so-to-me a lot of this will have an affect on the week because it's very draining. tiger is usually a guy that comes in have blinders on, doesn't waste any of that energy just getting engaged in conversation. and i think this is one thing to keep in mind. i think it's been a very taxing week before he even hits his first shot today at 1:42. >> we'll visit with you more in a little while. we look forward to the cbs coverage throughout the week this week. and we'll be joining you more in just a bit. >> look forward to it. now with more, here's maggie. we want to take a closer look at that controversial new nike ad featuring tiger woods and the voice of his late father.

barbara lippert from "adweek" magazine is here with us. good morning. let's take a look at the ad and then we'll talk about it. >> tiger, i am more prone to be inquisitive, to promote discussion. i want to find out what your thinking was, i want to find out what your feelings are, and did you learn anything. >> i don't know. no matter whether you think it's good or bad, people will definitely have a reaction to it about. >> definitely powerful. creepy and cynical. but it does what nike needed to do. for a for nike, he's too big to fail. they have to prop him up and they have to show that he's

learned a lesson. they needed his real part. but i don't think anyone expected him to plate daddy ded card. >> and i don't know if tiger is a brilliant actor, but he's on the verge of tears. it looks like he's almost admitting without saying a word that he let down his father. >> with the big puppy dog eye, it's scar scare troy to look at. but it's the church of the holy swoosh is giving him abc solution and exonerating him so they can move on. they want to get this over with, address it in some way indirectly, so that they can start selling clubs and pants and shirts and hats again. and they feel like this was the best way to address it, although it brings up another irony in that the reputation of his father. >> that's the thing. because if you're somebody who revered and respected your dad as much as tiger did, you might say, look, some things are sacred, leave my father out of

this, i will not allow to you use my father for my benefit. it is self-indulgent. >> and the credibility of the whole ad is at stake if you really know about his father. no one wants to speak ill of the dead, but, in fact, he was no paragon of marital fidelity either. but it's a very powerful piece of film. the people who love tiger and are pumped that he's praying again h love it and people who hate tiger will really hate it. and they're already venting on the internet. >> either way they'll talk about it, which nike wants. barbara, thank you so much. it is 7:40 and we want to check in again with dave who has a look at the weather. >> i love barbara lippert. all right. no one can

that's a quick look at our weather picture. look at those numbers with a sense of perspective because they seem to change every year a hot. >> thank you so much. coming up next, a new overnight singing sensation, this time from taiwan. is he the new susan boyle? we'll tell you more about him when we come back here on "the early show" on cbs.

nothing like a little u-2 to get you going on a thursday morning. it is spring and we saw that green man out there, right? did you see that green man out there on the plaza? >> missed it. >> he was completely green. >> was he a little green man? >> no. did i imagine that? was there not a green man outside? i could have swore it. i'm just wondering if he's honoring the masters, right, which has officially kicked off this morning. see, i'm not that crazy. welcome back to "the early show." >> good morning, everybody. nothing says spring quite like the masters tournament.

just moments ago they held the honorary starters ceremony featuring arnold palmer and jack nicholas. >> good morning, ladies and gentlemen. welcome to the 2010 masters. today is a very special day in masters history as we welcome back two of our greatest champions. our first honorary starter needs no introduction. for over 50 years, he has sym l symbolized the game of golf around the world. a great champion, an even greater person, ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming four-time masters champion mr. arnold palmer. arnold, the tee is yours.

>> next we are honored and indeed blessed to include as an honest other ar honorary starter this year mr. jack nicholas.

for many years, jack dominated the world of golf in the masters tournament like no one before or since. he returns this year as the owner of a remarkable six green jackets. ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming back mr. jack nicholas. good morning. mm mmmm

the 2010 masters has now officially begun. have fun. >> billy payne there with two real legends. joining us again is jim nantz who has had just another average year with a record-setting super bowl, a cliff hanging ncaa championship, and now the 25th year covering a masters tournament with the return of tiger woods. just another day in your life, right, jim? >> i'm pretty fortunate, believe me. i count my blessings every day. >> i understand that to be true. if tiger woods is going to find redemption, will he find it in augusta this year? >> are you talking in terms of maybe winning here? because i think it will take a titanic effort on his part to

just come right out cold after five months of not being in competition, adjusting to the green speeds here, all the craziness that surrounding the tiger story for the last five months, plus the fact he's been getting reacquainted with everyone, people he hasn't seen for half a year. and i just think the whole experience is very draining and i don't think his game is in top form anyway. so i don't expect he'll win, but you never sell him short. we've learned that many times. >> does he make the cut? >> i think he'll make the cut. i really do. i think his ball striking will be good enough to put him into the weekend. it's a smaller field. this is not 144 player field. this is right at around 100. so the field is cut in half and i had expect that tiger would maut ma make the cut here. >> beyond that he has been h different tiger that you talked about in terms of him engaging with his fellow competitors and enxwaengaging with the fans. assume he makes the cut. does this mean all is forgiven

and we move forward or does the story hang out there for the rest of the year oond maybe for the rest of his career? >> i think that every time we see tiger, the story loses a little bit of its sizzle as the week goes on on. he had his mea culpa on february 19th and everybody was like i have to look what he looks like, what he sounds lime. and then his interviews a couple weeks back and wasn't quite as-of-everyone wasn't quite as awe struck. and then there's been coverage of help playing here monday, tuesday, wednesday. every single day, it kind of loses a little bit of the luster. but it's a case by case basis. everyone has a different opinion. if he wins, there will be a lot of people that won't be won over ever, but there are people who just want to isolate on the goflder and have the forgiveness in their heart to move on. so there's not one answer to that. >> i guess you're right.

and what if he goes out there today and shoots a 68 or something is this t something? the place will go crazy. >> he's capable, but he's never done that in the first round of any masters. he's always struggled getting off to a good start here. he's playing late in the afternoon. there is a chance of strong thunderstorms, so it could be one of those days you get started and then get pulled off, have to restart. and it's usually harder to play late in the day,s winds pick up. but i don't expect help to go that low today. >> jim, thank you so much. we so look forward to your coverage throughout this week. >> harry, thank you and that was great kunlg coverage of jack an arnie. thank you. >> cbs sports will bring you the final on two rounds this weekend right here on cbs and there's lots of special coverage on the cbs sports website, as well. >> and every morning here on "the early show." that's what i want to see, will he play better or worse or no

different. >> well, as he says, remember last year the weather was bad, he struggled mightily. if they get thunderstorms, it's been hot down there, the greens are playing like the top of this table. >> stay tuned, everybody. it's 8:08. time to check in with betty nguyen at the news desk. good morning. well in, prague this morning, president obama and russia's president signed a new nuclear arms treaty. both nations will cut their nuclear arsenals by one-third. and mr. obama said they will seek further reductions. but he warned that iran's nuclear ambitions are a threat to peace. >> that's why the united states and russia are part of a coalition of nations insisting that the islamic republic of iran face consequences because they have continually failed to meet their obligations. >> mr. obama said the u.s. and russia are pressing the u.n.

security council for, quote, strong sanctions on iran. also this morning, rescue crews have re-entered a west virginiian coal mine in search of four miners missing since monday's explosion. cbs news national correspondent jim axelrod is in naoma with details. >> reporter: good morning. it's four teams of rescue workers, 32 overall. they've been inside the mine now since just before 5:00. they need to travel somewhere near five miles or so, which is a trip that could take two to three hours. they'll make the first part of it in these underground railcars. debris is not an issue. it's a question of getting rid of some of these toxic gases which the officials were able to do and now the rescue crews are able to get back as the governor of west virginia has said, they are advancing as quickly as possible. but joe mansion, the governor, even acknowledged the long odds the rescue workers are facing in

terms of finding these four miners alive by saying there's a sliver of hope. it will take a miracle. betty? >> tough search ahead. jim axelrod, thank you for that. and no charges will be wrought against a diplomat who sparked a bomb scare on a united airlines flight. flight 663 landed safely in k denver last night. a diplomat was trying to sneak a smoke in a bathroom. when confronted, he reportedly joked that he was trying to set his shoe on fire. he was restrained by air marshal, but no explosives were found. two f-16s intercepted the 757. the embass door says he was traveling on official business. let's take you back outside to the business of weather and dave price with a rowdy

>> they would and i the cera of rock bottom mortgage rates are over. right now the amp 30 year feksed rate mortgage is at about 5.3%. that's already up half a percent from last year. and with the economy on the road to improvement, the obama administration doing less that keep mortgage rates lower, we'll see them go high frer here. >> and potential buyers should be mind natural if mortgage rates go up even slightly, that could make a big difference as far as payments about sglp a very small difference in a mortgage rate makes a big difference in your monthly payment. so take a $300,000 mortgage, what you're looking at in a 5% interest payment is $1600 a month. bump that up 1% to 6% a month or 6% mortd ganl, rather, you're looking at a empty behalf $1800 a month. and over a year, we're talking about more than $2,000. >> and people if they act quickly, they can also take advantage of that home buyer tax credit, but isn't the deadline very soon? >> you have to act very fast for this one. we're a couple weeks away.

you have to close out your paperwork by april 30th to get $8,000 if it you're a new buyer, $6500 if you're a second time or third time buyer. and you have to close on the purchase by june 30th. >> it all sounds too good to be true. >> the caveat here is if you want to buy a home, you need to find the right home for yourself at the right price for you nap eat important thing. >> rebecca jarvis, thank you very much. coming up next, healthy travel for kids. we'll tell you how to make sure that your next trip is fun and safe. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. subway now has breakfast! your... better breakfast. with egg whites. red onions... jalapenos... banana peppers... tomatoes... black forest ham... and sweet onion sauce. melted cheese all on english muffins... or flat bread... however you want it!

that means control your expenses, investing. make sure you diversify, that's everything. >> i really like this section of the book because one -- you paint a tremendous tax. the more glorious the stock, the more famous it is, you are just -- right through the nose. >> just buy the little indexes. you pay a tiny percentage. diversify everything. internation international, domestic, big cap, small cap, growth, i did verse if i. >> how to invest? >> don't go by koz hoe. we love cosmo. don't go by cosmo style quizzes. it's a little more complicated. don't trade. sglu mean the sex quizzes do not necessarily -- >> they don't apply to a 65-year-old man. >> all right.

>> do buy and hold. don't try to trade like a day trader. you are can't. forget about it. do keep it simple. just buy a big pie of diversified funds. we have a whole wunsch of sample portfolios. they keep the risk very low. and invest in passive index funds. the fees instead of being 2% or 3% are sdwrus like a quarter of a percent. >> microscopic. >> this may be the most important one of all. the newspapers came out yesterday and while right after the financial cat clichl, americans started saving like crazy before our parents saved 10%, and then it went way, way down. it's starting to creep down again. >> you won't have a recovery unless people are spending, but we won't have financial security unless people are saving. do live below your means. never it you can possibly avoid it live before your means. to borrow for a lifestyle is

insanity. save, save, save. there is nothing better than a good wonderful dog or a good wonderful wife than savings. saving a dog and a wife are the best things in life. and all -- >> wait a minute. all of that other stuff is irrelevant. a good dog, good wife and saving money. keys to life. >> do have a reserve fund. don't play games with the irs ever. they have 5u78 the power. don't spend a single second in jail. >> i was audited once in my 20s. never happen again. >> it's horrible. audited is the least of it ifcht you in prison, you won't like it. not funny at all and some nights are worse than others. >> this is a microphone. i want to give it to you. >> yes, because i've con fenced all this. ready? >> this is way you'll never forget 23 about that fwlns up brothers and sisters from ben

edible egg. >> one little egg is only 78 calories and research has shown time and time again that if you eat a breakfast that has eggs in it, you will not eat 330 calories throughout the rest of the day. >> why is that? >> because it makes you so satisfied. >> but don't you have to worry about cholesterol? >> the american heart association says that one egg is day is fine. and that's a full egg. and to actually get that benefit, you need to have the white and the yolk together. >> and just throw in salmon, spin april, but i'm surprised to see the bread, too. >> this is only 210 calorie, one of these little rounds. so it's a whole glan english muffin. it's much lighter than some other breads. >> let's go to the nuts. we always hear about people recommending almonds because they're heart healthy, but they can be very fattening. are pine nuts less fattening? >> it's the polly unsaturated and mono unsaturated fats that

actually turn on who are mobiles and keep you feeling full longer and you can secan eat 84 for 95 calories. >> and throw it in a salad with goat cheese. >> that's our next food. only 76 calories an ounce. and all cheese actually as cla and that is a fat that actually helps you fight fat, it helps fight belly fat, helps keep you full longer. and if you into fgo for grass-fd cheese and not grain, it will be even higher. >> so then you can get? some goat cheese, pine nut, put them in a salad. i know a lot of people ruin their salads with too much dressing. >> we douse them in dressing and it's bad for them. but we have a gorgeous balsamic vinaigrette. you want to taste the greens.

you want the flavor to come through. >> let's go to milk. >> skim, only 86 calories a cusp. and it's the proteins in skim milk that keep you feeling full longer. and of course it has calcium and i'm sure you know that you should be tridrinking your milk right now. >> i read the book feed the belly and i've been drinking a lot of milk. >> it's a calorie bargain. >> we know fruit is very healthy. why specifically oranges? >> there's something called the saiety index, a list of 86 foods and for the fruit category, oranges top the list. and what that means is that for whatever food you eat, they looked at how long it keeps you feeling full. and it's thanks to the 3.4 grams of fiber in one little orange. >> 59 calories for an orange. on the other hand, if take yyoua medium potato, 161.

and you're recommending this? the >> there's magic in that little potato. resistant starch is something we're learning more about. about helps you burn belly fat and keeps you full. it's the number one food on the satiety index with skin and it keeps you fulling fool three times longer than a piece of bread. >> bill but i'm sure you're not saying eat french fries. >> no, roasted toe pa. which we have here. >> and finally -- >> last but not least. >> what is it about dark chocolate? >> researchers in copenhagen did a study on chocolate and it showed that there are compounds that actually keep you feeling full longer because it slows

digestion. so if you had sort of a mid-morning snack on your schedule of chocolate, you would actually feel full longer, therefore, eating less calories overall. >> love it. thank you so much. francis large pl fr we'll put all this information on the web. >> i should eat chocolate not? >> come get some, harry. >> because this is -- how much -- >> you can have so many calories per ounce. >> which is the size of a business card. >> did you bring some back for me? >> sorry, pal. many homeowners still have a few spring repairs to take care of. matt blashaw, host of dye network's money hunters is here with easy fix-up tips that cost less than 25 bucks. >> that will make us eat less
