happy birthday, kristin. >> thank you. bye, guys. pregnant women and the h1n1 flu. a brand-new study says it dramatically increases the risk of being hospitalized. new information on michael jackson's doctor, as police again raid dr. conrad murray's home and office. >> i think we're going to see charges filed against dr. murray in the very near future. i really don't think there's much he can do to stop that. >> we'll talk exclusively with a business associate who spoke with dr. murray the night before jackson died. move over, martha. the first family chooses a popular celebrity retreat for their vacation. we'll tell you where the president will tee off.
7:01 am
captioning funded by cbs good morning, everyone. i'm maggie rodriguez with harry smith. julie is on assignment today. >> this is a headline we have not seen much in a long, long time. home prices rise across the united states. see all the little green arrows. markets across the united states where home prices have actually been on the rise. what does that mean to you? is the recession over? as the cover of "newsweek" declared this week. we'll get into that. >> also, a warning about tanning beds and cancer that goes beyond anything you've heard before. for the first time, cancer researchers are saying using a tanning bed can be as deadly as ingesting arsenic. imagine that. we'll talk about that warning ahead this morning. first, another important medical study. a new study says that pregnant women infected by the h1n1 are
7:02 am
four times as likely to be hospitalized as others. pregnant women are more likely to develop serious and potentially deadly complications. dr. jennifer ashton is here with more. >> good morning, maggie. that study is reported in this morning's online medical journal and says if pregnant women get the flew virus, they should be treated immediately. and a panel is recommending pregnant women should be the first in line to rch the vaccination. more than 300 deaths from the h1n1 virus have been reported to the centers for disease control. 6% of those who died were pregnant, six times the percentage of pregnant women in the general population. that's why experts say they should be the first to get the new vaccine. for some, the vaccine may have come too late. we first told you about katie. she was six months pregnant when
7:03 am
she began complaining of flu-like symptoms. >> running a 100-plus temperature with all these symptoms. they just let her go. >> reporter: 31 days ago, katie developed pneumonia and suffered respiratory arrest. doctors put her into a drug-induced coma and delivered the baby prematurely. >> i go and hold my daughter. it's like a breath of fresh air for a moment. >> reporter: abby was born weighing less than three pounds. doctors are encouraged by her progress. >> abby has behaved exactly like the same 27-week premie. no evidence of an infection. >> reporter: katie isn't doing as well. doctors say her lungs, heart and kidneys are failing and have determined she did have the h1n1 virus. >> she's got a long way to go. like i said, it's been a month and some people don't recover from ards, the acute respiratory
7:04 am
distress syndrome, for six months. this is just the beginning. >> reporter: since their ordeal began, kenny has had to quit his construction job to spend his days caring for the couple's young son and shuttling between two hospitals to visit his wife and daughter. >> can you wave bye-bye? it takes three-quarters of the day to travel between those two hospitals and have what i would call equivalent time with both. you know, i like to sit down with my daughter in a rocking chair for a couple of hours. >> reporter: waiting and hoping katie will make a recovery. >> i do have a 2-year-old. i do have a newborn baby. and i do have a wife that are all going to need me. >> we will, of course, continue to follow kenny and katie's story. meantime, the word to pregnant women is if you think you're getting the flu, see your doctor right away. maggie? >> as you know, doc, a lot of pregnant women are hesitant about getting any vaccine. i imagine there will be concern
7:05 am
about essentially being guinea pigs for a new vaccine. >> 15% of pregnant women are vacinated every year. this vaccine will be subject to even higher scrutiny than vaccinations in the past. the risks of getting the vaccine are much less risks to the mother and the baby than with katie. >> with a woman like katie, could she have taken tamiflu? >> absolutely. it is thought to be safe. the risks of the medication to mother and fetus are much less than the risks of getting influenza. >> when do you think we'll get a vaccine such. >> we're waiting every day. all things are pointing to mid-october if it goes through. >> thank you so much, dr. jennifer ashton. >> officials appear to be closing in on michael jackson's doctor. for the second time in a week,
7:06 am
officials raided dr. conrad murray's medical records. this time at his home and office in las vegas. early show correspondent hattie kauffman is in las vegas with more. good morning. >> good morning, harry. this probe seems to go much deeper into the investigation of dr. murray. the warrants demanded records not only in michael jackson's name but listed 19 possible aliases he could have used to gain drugs, including prince jackson, the name of his son. it is all potential evidence that could link dr. murray to jackson's death. >> reporter: dr. conrad murray was at his las vegas home as a team of agents descended. >> we didn't call the doctor's office and tell them we were coming. >> reporter: murray's lawyer said they seized cell phones and a computer hard drive. he said murray assisted officers. >> whatever they needed at the residence, they took. whatever they needed here, they took. >> reporter: investigators, armed with search warrants, also came to dr. murray's medical offices.
7:07 am
sources tell cbs news that among the items seized were medical records. >> the idea that a doctor would be using propofol for any indication or reason is almost unfathomable to me. >> reporter: propofol, also known as diprivan, is given by an iv drip and requires extensive monitoring equipment. dr. murray reportedly admitted he gave jackson the anesthesia just hours before his death. >> if i have found diprivan, i am going to put on the death certificate, homicide. >> he's facing charges up to second degree implied manslaughter. i think it's literally in his backyard. >> however, it's important to point out though charges have been filed. authorities are not calling dr. murray a suspect. everyone is waiting for the
7:08 am
toxicology report, which could come out any time. we thought they could be even today. we're being told it could be pushed back a bit. harry? >> hattie kauffman in las vegas. thanks. joining us also from l.a., is harvey levin, executive producer of tmz.com, who got an awful lot about this jackson story right in the last couple of weeks. >> good morning. >> how much trouble is dr. murray in? >> he's in a heap of trouble. the police have known this literally from two days after jackson died, when murray went to the lapd's detective bureau and told the police that he had administered propofol hours before michael jackson's death. that is when the police started treating this as a homicide. they have went back into the house and found hidden drugs, including propofol and found the iv stand, the day jackson died. he has been a target since the get-go. >> what do we know about all
7:09 am
these aliases that michael jackson apparently used to help obtain drugs? >> well, we've known a lot about it, harry. and we've been doing a lot of stories about it. jackson used this, not just recently. we found records from 1993, where there were various aliases. he uses employees at the neverland ranch. he used fictitious people. he used the name josephine baker even. but this has been going on, not just with dr. murray, harry, but literally dozens of other doctors. i can tell you that the lapd and the coroner's office has quietly been going to other doctors. subpoenas have been served. this is going to open up a massive investigation into what authorities believe could be gross fraudulent prescribing practices. there are a lot of people who are very nervous in beverly hills and west l.a. right now. >> this murray guy is really just the tip of the ice berg on
7:10 am
this story it sounds like? >> absolutely. >> hattie just said, maybe we're not going to find out autopsy results this week. what do you know su? >> i do know it's being pushed. when the los angeles police department declares this an official criminal investigation, when they call it that, certain things happen. people lawyer up. people won't talk as much. i would not be surprised, even though what i'm told is that it's ready, i wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed until next week. i think the lapd, maybe a week or two weeks out before they give anything to the district attorney's office. >> thank you for your information. appreciate it. >> sure, harry. in the next half hour, we'll talk exclusively to a business associate of dr. murray who says he talked to murray the day before jackson died. >> time to check in with russ mitchell for the headlines. >> good morning to you at home. stocks in asia were down sharply this morning. the shanghai lost 8% of its

schlesinger, editor at large for "cbs moneywatch".com. we're doing a cartoon doubletake. did we really see this? i showed the cover of the "wall street journal" this morning. what's the big picture look like across the country? >> housing prices are down 17% from a year ago. people are going to say, what? but they're up a half a percent in the last month. the first time we've seen a nice increase. in three-quarters of the cities, we saw prices stable or up. that was a turning point in this particular survey. >> everybody has been talking like the cover of "newsweek" says the recession is over. this scraping along the bottom. does this mean maybe the economy is starting to get off the bottom a bit? >> absolutely. because when you think about it, housing brought us into this crisis. the first signs of stabilization are seen as a very good big picture indicator. this doesn't mean happy times are here again. but it does mean we are in a better place.

picture item for us in the recovery. >> one of the things that doesn't seem to be going away is unemployment keeps going up and the economy is hemorrhaging hundreds of thousands of jobs. if you've got a job, what do you need to keep in mind? >> job loss is tapering off. don't get too cocky. employers are quick to lop off anyone they don't think is productive. adjust to the current wage you are earning. we will not see wage increases any time soon. wages will remain stagnant probably for another year or two. >> good advice as the -- i'm not feeling like i'm hanging on to a balloon. >> we're limping to the finish line. >> coming up next, it's being called the beer summit. tomorrow's meeting between the president, the professor and the policeman. we'll tell you what's on tap. this portion of the "early show" sponsored by hershey's.

7:35 am
keep the job with michael jackson? >> i would think that he would be somewhat boxeded in. not saying until evidence comes in. but that would be something that would box you in. with the financial troubles we know now and closing both your practices to commit solely to michael jackson, would be hard to just walk away. there was not a lot to walk away to. >> you talked to him the day before michael jackson died. the next day when you heard dr. murray was with michael jackson at the time of his death, what was your reaction? >> surprise and -- i knew he was in trouble. any doctor that's with michael jackson at the time would be in trouble. >> why would you think that? >> it was common knowledge that michael jackson was on precipitation drugs. he was fighting that. to be a doctor with a client that died because of drugs, i mean, it would be hard to fight
7:36 am

the abduction and brutal murder of a 17-year-old girl in los angeles continues to spark outrage and grief. cbs news correspondent ra hughes reports on a young life cut short. >> reporter: memorials have popped up over including comments like adorable young lily. the 17-year-old who loved to write and voluntary with the homeless had a bright future until her tragic death. >> she was just such a wonderful, vibrant kid. >> reporter: it was a deadly coincidence that lily burk crossed paths with the man now charged with her bruttal murder. the man approached lily on this
8:11 am
tree-lined street across from the school. los angeles police say they have surveillance video showing samuel behind the wheel of burk's black volvo driving away. 25 minutes later she called her mother asking how to withdraw money from an atm with a credit card. minutes later, she calls her dad asking the same question. she never revealed in the phone call that she was in danger. police think it wasn't long after that she was killed. by 4:52 samuel allegedly parked the vehicle near skid row. then he wandered off with a beer in a paper bag until he was arrested for public intoxication. lily burk was an only child whose mother said they were best friends. now she is planning her funeral. sandra hughes, cbs news, los angeles. >> joining us from los angeles is robin sax a child safety
8:12 am
expert and former d.a. how are you? >> good morning,harry. how are you? >> i'm all right. you can see this young girl with the best intentions. she has worked with homeless people and has some confidence on the streets she's on. she gets abducted. here mind is racing. how do i get out of this? he's forcing her to try to get money out of an atm. she calls home twice. her parents never had an indication from the calls she was in trouble. what could she have done? >> there are so many things to take from this tragedy and hopefully apply to our lives both as parents and as kids. one of those lessons that we can learn is to have a codeword, a code -- a word that would symbolize danger and call 911? that would flow in the situation.
8:13 am
atm is a great word in my opinion. because atm is a place where no one should make a phone call anyone as you need undivided attention. in lily burk's case, i imagine because of her work she felt -- didn't want to appear racist. wanted to appear kind and probably wanted to give the benefit of the doubt to the strange. my next tip is to trust instincts and be judgmental when it comes to safety. >> could she have done something on the street? i'm sure she's thinking, i've got to stay cool. should she have cried for help? what might she have done? she was on a public street on a busy thorough fare. >> absolutely. it's nice to say in retrospect what we could have done under the circumstances. one lesson to be learned is to scream fire. people react to the word fire,
8:14 am
not to the word help. the idea is to buy time. if you can gouge the perpetrator with keys. the goal isn't to win a fight or succeed. the goal is to get a minute, buy a minute of time so you can ran and get some help. >> this guy clearly looked at her as a target. how do you make sure you don't look like a target? >> the best way not to be a target is avoid multitasking. we have our hands with cell phones and sar buctarbucks and many things. we need to have our heads up and appearing confident. watching what we're wearing. watch our purses and label so we don't appear to be an easy target. >> easy takeaway in this conclusion. robin, thanks very much for your expertise this morning. such asad, sad story. sa>> 'l ( john mayer's "say" plays throughout )

does the dating game get easier as you get older? let's ask two guys at opposite ends of the dating spectrum. ten-year-old alec greven is author of "how to talk to girls" based on a wealth of school experience. >> and howard eisenberg's prescriptions for dating and meeting after 50. good morning, gentlemen. >> good morning. >> are you a big dater, alec? >> probably not, no. >> not a big dater. but you know enough to comment on the subject, right? we've got a couple of questions. i'm curious to see how you
8:18 am
answer. appearance and first impressions are everything. do you agree or disagree, alec? >> i think -- i think i agree. because you -- >> why are first impressions important? >> well, i think because you come up and you're like, i really like that guy because you have a good first impression. because if you don't have a very good first impression, it still might not work out. >> that's true. howard, what do you think? >> we say in the book, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. i can give you an example of that. a guy i know who took a woman out for a first date, and ordered two cups of tea. after the tea was consumed, he'd, let's split the check. it was a very bad first impression.
8:19 am
>> never do that, alec. >> never saw him again. >> where do you go to meet girls, alec? >> you don't really, like, meet girls at my age. it's kind of like you just talk about it. you don't really like -- >> if you were going to encounter one, one that you see in class, where is the best place to approach them. >> at my playground. that's where a lot of, like, real -- most of the girls kind of hang out. >> sure. >> so go where the girls hang out. would you agree with that, howard? >> we have another rx, which is go where the guys go. that would involve -- for example, there's a woman who sbo enjoyed a boating club after she had half a dozen guys tell her port from starboard. one proposed and she became his first mate.
8:20 am
go where the guys are. >> first where they're interested in the same things you are. >> you're out in the dating world, no matter you're eight or 80, how do you deal with rejection? >> you just go home and cry. >> after that? >> after that, the truth is that rejection is only something that is a temporary thing that you quickly forget. we tell women to put this guy -- mentally push them oftf a cliff and move on to the next one. >> alec, would you persist if a girl told you, no thanks, i'm not interested? >> probably not. because you kind of have to take it tough and everything. but i say life is hard and move on. it's good because it works with pretty much everything. >> okay. >> i suppose if you could know
8:21 am
that if you're in fifth grade, you've got to move on. mentally push them off the cliff. >> it's taught in fourth grade. >> here's the most important question. when do you use the "l" word? when do you use the "l" word? >> what's the "l" word? >> love. >> i love you. >> it's really painful when a woman says, do you love me? it's so hard to answer that question without lying, in some cases. >> okay. >> you shouldn't lie though, right? >> no, you shouldn't lie. all you can do is say, see, i have a phone call. >> man, howard. >> alec, don't listen to that one. >> whether do you know when to use the "l" word? >> you really have to wait until you know each other really, really, really well.

8:38 am
reference to finally realizing after almost 30 years of being with joey that he is, as you say, a sociopath, which is something you didn't realize even after you were shot in the skull by his mistress. >> correct. >> why do you believe he is a sociopath? >> after a revelation i had in a conversation with my son two years ago where he said to me, dad is a sociopath. i went on the internet and explored what that meant. when i looked at all of the traits, i said, oh my god, this is what i've been with all of my life. it sent me on this journey to realize and understand sociopaths and how they affect people's lives. >> what are some of the traits you think describe him? >> they're extremely charming, extremely loveable. they're smart. they're funny they can convince you that white is black is bck and white and have you believe
8:39 am
it. >> they can convince you even though it's been all over t he news they're sleeping with a teenager they're not? >> had nothing to do with it. she was just a customer. she's just crazy, which she was. he swore up and down. they have no remorse or sense of conscience. that's another trait. because they don't, they can live with their lies. >> in the book -- first of all, i should say he did issue a statement. >> oh, goodie. >> i know you haven't heard. he said he would prefer to be diagnosed as a sociopath by a doctor rather than by his ex-wife. he felt victimized by your accusation. joey buttafuoco, is he a victim? >> no. he's a very cunning sociopath. it's never them. it's everybody else. it's never -- like, the word he used, how ironic "victimized." he is the one that started all
8:40 am
of this and did all this. that's a typical sociopathic trait. it's never my fault. it's everybody else's fault. >> you talk in the book explicitly about the day of the shooting and your recovery is just agonizing. i marked a struck meis.ause after yet wllebuol hn irou y etll hol in your head. the nurs h weldoue toold come i with an extra long wooden q-tip, insert it directlyth io nte bullet hole to disinfect the area. the searing pain i felt when the q-tip entered was an indesirable level of torture. >> yes. >> how long did you live with this torture? >> yeah. it was months. i mean, because it was a hole, it had to heal from the inside. because it was an open wound, they had to keep cleaning it and patching it up and cleaning it. every day, i got to dread that. i knew they were coming and i knew they had to do it, but it
8:41 am
was agony. it is indescribable. i hope nobody knows what that feels like. >> you reconciled with amy fisher. o d shau ayo t say about u hav her today? she's made interesting life choices. 's interesting. atth a very kind word. listen, i forgave her. that was for my peace and for me to move on. i write about that in the book, my journey through the anger and the pain. what she has chosen to do with her life is very sad. it's disappointing. she has three children. for me, that's the sad part. these children didn't ask for any of this. it's going to haunt them all of their lives. it's bad enough what she did. she could have made something of herself and gotten better. instead, she's really gone downhill. >> why don't we give the last ten seconds to your fiance. closing words about the woman you're engageded to marry. >> she's absolutely incredible.
8:42 am
i'm behind her 100% on this book. she believes what she says in the book and wants other people to read it and understand how to see these traits in their, you know, loved ones. whether it be a spouse or child or -- >> and learn from it. >> learn from it, absolutely. >> congratulations to you both on your engagement. >> thank you. >> and on the book. >> thanks a lot. >> you're very welcome. to read a chapter from the book, go to our website, earlyshow.cbsnews.com. harry, over to you. >> award-winning chef and author rake bayless has tickled our taste buds for decades. in the the upcoming edition of "prevention magazine" he shares affordable and delicious recipes. >> great to be here. >> great, great. you have a lot of fans here. >> i know. i'm feeling great about being here. >> that's good. we're working some onions here. >> actually, you know what i did
8:43 am
for "prevention" was shine a line on what i'm doing at home. which tends to be simple and fresh. it's healthy stuff. i'll show you a dish that is one of my favorite things to do. it's seared beef with caramelized onions. everything cooks together in one pot. the browned meat and the onions. we'll put everything together in there. those are mushrooms and canned tomatoes. i will give it a little bit of w sauce. here's my little elixir. some beer goes in. >> dark beer. >> this is the thing that gives real mexican flavor. the can of chipotles is right over there. in the grocery store, smoke-dried jalapeno. chop them up.
8:44 am
this needs to simmer a little bit. you've got the simmered version over here. you can see how the mushrooms cooked down and how beautiful that is. i've got the browned meat that gets tossed in with it. basically dinner is done when you've got it at that point. >> this is really less than an hour, right? >> gosh, yes. probably a half hour would be. if you want to do it with chicken, you can easily do it with chicken. browning is the critical thing in this. >> this is not a brown tortilla? >> what's a white tortilla. >> serve it like that? >> yes. that's a big bite of meat there. this is such an easy dish but it's company worthy because the flavors are really great. you can dress it up or dress it down. this is the kind of stuff i do when i invite people over for sunday night dinner at my house. >> you know what's great? there is that overwhelming kind of warmness. a lot of good flavor.
8:45 am
the heat is in there too. >> that depth of flavor. the browned onions and browned meat and that sauce that goes into it. >> that is really cool. while you're serving this, you have to help me out. you're in this top chef masters going on right now. how has that been? >> hard. i think it's the hardest thing i've done in my life. >> seriously? >> i was a judge on top chef. it's way easier being a judge. >> they were in chicago. >> they throw all kinds of things at you. in my normal life i have to handle a lot of curve balls thrown at me every day, but nothing like what they throw at you on top chef. >> do they make it look like it actually is? >> they do. except for the fact sometimes they don't show how hard it is. in one episode, the one i won that got me into the semi finals that starts tonight, i was just sweating bullets one time. because i had to put my hands in 180-degree meat and pull it
8:46 am
apart. i was running out of time. >> dude, wow. >> they didn't show that though. >> what are the other special dishes? >> this is more of a special occasion thing. that's braised lamb shanks with green chilly and tomato. grilled chicken breast with carmelized onions and guacamole. one of my favorite things to do is bake fish baked over sweet potatoes. really good. it's a dish i turn to regularly. you can have that on the table in about 25 minutes. >> rick, always a pleasure to see you. thank you so much. great for breakfast. for more of rick's one-pot rets pe recipes, go to earlyshow.cbsnews.com. >> up next, she is a trainer to stars like madonna. tracy anderson will show us tricks on her treadmill. how you doing?

8:50 am
couple of days ago where it looks completely different. who knows? maybe it was the angle. you don't buy it? you don't think she's overdoing it at the gym? >> no, absolutely not. >> you just opened a gym in new york? >> i did. >> what is it about your method that can work for everybody else? >> i think why women love my methods is because i create a feminine, long, lean body to fight genetic issues and problem areas. solutions that give you the body that most women are after. >> let's show how to go after that body. you don't like traditional treadmill workouts. let's show your version. you and katie show me a couple. i'll try to join at the end. >> i developed it so anyone can take my method anywhere. i don't like it when people use the treadmill in the same way
8:51 am
over and over. so i created this dancing on the treadmill so that you can learn a few simple moves and hit the muscles from different rotations, which still stays within the guidelines of my method, which is a long, lean body. not -- >> let's see some of this dancing. it sounds complicated. >> the first thing i would have you do is warm-up by opening up your hip, if you can't do my dvd beforehand. start lifting the butt and activating those things that give us what we want. then we'll start your heart rate going. but before we do that, before we start burning fat, i need to start connecting everything together. because a lot of what i do has to do with the arm muscles being connected to the ab muscles because everything works together. we would do this push-up move.
8:52 am
>> slow start on the speed until you get the hang of it and increase the speed after you figure out how to do it. >> yes. then we go to a skipping move. we all remember how to skip. >> that one i can do. all right. so you just -- that's three-point -- >> single, single, look at you. single, single, double. it's much more fun. >> i have to get the tracy attitude. uh-huh. >> you've got it. it's all about that. >> how long do you spend on here? >> each move 30 seconds. i like to do everything to music. that makes it even more fun. so i say pick a song for skipping and move to sashaying. really good for toning the legs in a feminine way and lifting
