mmmm firing up the base in new orleans with attacks on president obama and the democratic party agenda. >> stop damaging this nation and start listening to the american people. today sarah palin speaks to the conference. we'll have a preview. and tiger woods returns to golf at the top of his game with the best opening round he's ever shot at the masters. we'll have more from augusta early this friday morning april we'll have more from augusta early this friday morning april 9th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs good morning, i'm harry
7:01 am
smith. >> and i'm maggie rodriguez. we have tiger, eagles and birdies, oh, my. >> something like that. >> he did very well. >> remember we were talking about jim nantz. do you remember the anchor guy who was here yesterday who said so what happens if tiger shood shoots a 68? oh, that's not going to happen. >> it's true, it didn't happen. he went under that. >> no, he hit a 68. >> you got it exactly right? >> again. case in point, did you see the shot on the ninth hole? he's trapped, he's behind these trees. and tiger says i'm going to settle down out there, i'm not going to be so emotional. look at this. wow. >> how did you know, harry? >> more on tiger and the madness a little later on. but first, breaking news out of
7:02 am
west virginia. the search for four missing miners is on hold once again after recent crew crews who went back in had to be pulled out. jim axelrod is in naoma, west virginia with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. we've just been given an update. apparently those rescue teams went in overnight about quarter to 1:00 this morning. the idea was to check two recent crew chambers. they made it to the first, it was empty. but then more high levels of a potentially explosive mixture of gases and a fire prevented the miners from getting to the second rescue chamber and checking that out before they were pulled out of the mine. rescue workers drilled another hole like this h one, got more air in, and early friday morning, headed back in to the mine. >> ran in to some bad conditions and again had to pull the teams out for their safety. >> reporter: but once again poisonous air forced the
7:03 am
rescuers to retreat. as the community begins to gather for a series of wakes and funerals, rescue teams are hoping to provide some final answers for people who desperately want them. >> the first thing that hit me was leak we might actually find out what's going on. >> reporter: so closing in on four days after the violent explosion that took at least 25 lives at the upper big branch mine, frustrated families will soon find out if that death toll will rise. >> we're just moving as quickly as we can. we want to bring the loved ones back, so we're doing everything and everyone's working hard. >> reporter: the plan is to pump nitrogen into the mine that will mix in with the explosive mixture of gases and render it inert, in other words, take away the possibility of those gases explodi exploding. also they'll lower a camera into the mine and perhaps be able to check out that second rescue chamber by camera. >> must be very disappointing there this morning.
7:04 am
jim axelrod, thank you you so much. and now to politics and the big republican rally in new orleans. the southern republican leadership conference got off to a rousing start last night with newt genk grich leading attacks on president obama and an even bigger gop figure speaking later today. cbs news national correspondent teen r dean reynolds is in new orleans with more. >> reporter: when sarah palin does speak here today, the 3,000 or so republicans in attendance will be watching very closely for any signs about her future plans. >> governor sarah palin! >> reporter: the former governor has certainly been busy stumping for fellow republicans delivering high profile speeches to conservative groups and becoming a regular presence on television screens. >> it was warned about during the campaign. >> reporter: virmly everywhere she go, she receives a rapturous reception. but it is an open question as to
7:05 am
whether that appeal can be broadened to make her a viable presidential contender. certainly the new cbs news poll would suggest otherwise at this point with only 24% of the country viewing her favorably. indeed the poll found only 43% of republicans do. which begs the question, if not palin, who? >> the problem is when you think republican these days, no one's face comes to mind. >> reporter: mitt romney and tim pawlenty are both considered possible candidates in 2012, but neither attended the new orleans get together. former house speaker newt gingrich, another potential candidate, did attend and he took aim at the president on "the early show" one week ago go. >> shooting three point shots may be dlefr, but it doesn't put anybody to work and what we need is a president, not an athlete. >> reporter: now that kind of criticism here was fairly typical during the first session.question, of course, for republicans is whether that kind
7:06 am
of rhetorical strategy will work with the american people. >> dean reynolds in new orleans. thank you. let's bring in host of "face the nation" bob schieffer. good morning, bob. what do you think, will that kind of rhetoric work with the american people? >> i think what's going on in new orleans now is about the republican party and not yet really about the american people and what their reaction is. these would -be candidates are trying on-to-get t ing oto get s to begin to build a base here. this is very, very early in this whole process. and this is really more about just getting some attention. republicans -- the next serious thing republicans have to do is concentrate on these congressional elections later this year. once we get past that, i think
7:07 am
you'll begin to see the presidential candidates as it were begin to sort themselves out and start appealing to people. right now they are trying to get the attention of those within their own party. you had several of the candidates or people that many expect will run like governor pawlenty in minnesota, also governor mitt romney who ran the last time. didn't even bother to come to this gathering in new orleans. newt gingrich i think is going to make a run this year. you saw him as the opening speaker last night. you know, there will be a lot of attention later today on sarah palin. >> and i wanted to ask you about her because -- >> whether in the end she becomes a candidate i think is still a very open question. >> you've said that you don't believe she will run for president in the next election, but she is such a huge draw at these republican and tea party events. wouldn't they try to lure her into the race? >> i think she's very good at
7:08 am
raising money, maggie. i think she's very good at coining phrases and so on, but let's not forget this is someone who resigned governorship of a very small state, a very small population. she really resigned there and i find it very difficult to believe that someone who could resign an office like that could actually be a viable candidate when it comes right down to that. you think about when she gets in a primary, when people are going to vote, her opponent is bound to say, sarah, when the going gets tough, will you get going out? i think that's still a very tall hill for her to climb. others might disagree with me, but i still believe that. >> you're sticking to your guns. to pun intended.
7:09 am
thank you. and as also, you can see bob on face the nation on sunday morning on cbs. and now to the masters where all eyes were on tiger woods as he played competitively for the first time since his thanksgiving night car crash. many fans expected him to be rusty, but he was far from it. cbs news correspondent armen keteyian has latest from augusta. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we talked about drama yesterday. we certainly got a big dose of that. tiger woods tees off later this morning and if he plays like did he on thursday in the first round of the masters, look out. >> on the tee, tiger woods. >> reporter: it was the swing watched round the world. and from the first tee, spectacular shots. >> after five months of scandal, this for birdie.
7:10 am
>> spectacular shot. >> reporter: barely missing a beat despite being away for 144 days. >> all day, it was just incredible. >> reporter: woods is the only modern player to win all four major champ i don't think shion. and he battled heavy winds and rain, but still managed to eagle two holes in one round for his first time ever at augusta. woods finished with a 68, pour under par, his best opening round at the masters. just two strokes back of the leader, fred couples. >> very pleased. i hit the ball well all day. >> reporter: and after his personal record-setting round, tiger set the record straight regarding the controversial nike ad that uses the voice of his late father. >> i want to find out what your feelings are and did you learn anything. >> i think it's very apropos. i think that's what my dad would
7:11 am
say. and it's amazing how it -- how my dad can speak to me from different ways even when he's long gone. he's still helping me. >> reporter: it remains to be seen how woods will fair at augusta and beyond, but it's clear the world's number one player made a masterful statement on thursday. >> it would seem counter intuitive that he could do well here, but the number of times i've seen tiger woods do the impossible in the last 16 years is countless. >> reporter: tiger's back. and he's in to win it. well, tiger certainly will have some competition today. the heed are board is packed with some of the all-time greats. couples is leading it, but also tom watson and phil mickelson. it should be 134 kind of day. >> armen keteyian in augusta. thank you very much. also in augusta this morning is cbs sports golf an loois we could an baker finch. good morning. >> good morning. >> were you or were you not
7:12 am
surprised with the way he played golf yesterday in. >> i was a little surprised, although at the start of the week, i picked him as someone i thought would finish in the top three. so i was sxenkexpecting him to well. i was surprised how calm and relaxed he appeared, but did he get a nice reception at the first tee and that allowed him to have that comfortable feeling and i think the good drive off the first tee sort of set the tone, as well. so everything seemed to go so perfectly for him. >> one of the things he talked about was trying to even his temperament a little bit out this, but there were moments out there especially with that shot on mine when he had to go around the trees, a shot that probably only he can make in the entire world, and that looked very much like the old tiger. >> that's right respect it was great to see that exuberance. he side stepped it out, had to look around the trees, the wind was gusting about 30 miles an hour at that time. pretty amazing how good the scoring was considering how
7:13 am
difficult the conditions were. but he still had a couple of times on 11 when he wanted to to being made hawk ttomahawk the c. so there were still flashes of a little bit of anger, but that's the competitive nature of all the guys out there. >> are you also surprised at how generous the crowds have been to him since the beginning of the week, since the practice rounds? >> it was a little bit quiet when he first walked to the first tee on monday. there weren't many cheers. he was playing with freddie couples. he got a rousing applause as he stepped on to the first tee. but tiger played his second shot, one guy yelled out, come on, tiger, we love you you, good to see you back, and from then organization the tone changed. the crowd was respectful, but i expected that. it's a golf crowd, always different than perhaps had he started back in new york, for
7:14 am
instance. >> let me ask you this very quickly. how about a hand for the old guys, fred couples, tom watson, phenomenal. >> unbelievable. tom watson nearly won the open last year. it could have been the greatest story ever in golf had he gone on to win. now at 60, he leads the masters for quite a while. he's now a shot back. but freddie couples could be one of the great stories ever. he would become the oldest major winner if he were to go on and win it. so it's great to see. and because of get difference nature of the champions, these guys stay competitive into their 50s and it's good to see that they can still play the game. and freddie out there in his bowling shoes. >> what were those should you sms. >> beautiful. >> all right. ian baker-finch, great to see you. good luck to you the rest of the week. >> thank you, harry. >> be looking forward to watching it. drbs sports h bring you the
7:15 am
final two rounds this weekend with coverage beginning saturday at 3:30. >> exciting weekend of tv viewing even for people who aren't normally that interested like -- i'll be there glued. >> betty nguyen is at the news desk. good morning. four americans were killed when an air force tilt rotor aircraft crafted in afghanistan. it went down in southeast afghanistan last night. three of the victims were u. soldiers. the fourth was a civilian contractor. it can take off and land hike a helicopter but flies much faster. he was involved in several deadly crashes during development and this accident is under investigation. a follow-up now on that diplomat who triggered a bomb scare on united airlines flight. it turns out he was on his way to visit an imprisoned al qaeda agent. authorities say mohammed al madadi was caught smoking on a flight to denver and joked that he was trying to set his shoe on fire. he will not be charged and is being sent back.

producer now featured in a real life cream drama. bruce bears ford red man who worked on "survivor" is under orders not leave mexico after his wife was murdered at a resort in cancun. ben tracy has the story. >> reporter: monica bea beresford-redman's body was found tuesday. she died from a blow to the skull and police have a prime suspect. her husband, bruce. a former producer on the reality show "survivor." investigators say his statements are full of contradictions. an investigator told cbs news he said he last saw her 10:00 a.m. monday morning, but they were seen together arguing even where he is link with each other at dinner monday night. the coroner now says she was killed around midnight on monday. any came's friends gathered at the restaurant she owns in los
7:32 am
angeles. >> she's nice with everybody, everybody. she helped everybody get a job for people, she'd give opportunity to play here, to dns here. >> reporter: further complicating the case, police say bruce ook his two kids from mexico home to los angeles. but then flew back to mexico before reporting his wife missing. he was leased from detention late last night, but he is still under investigation and he's forbidden from leaving mexico. with armed guards surrounding his wife's body at the morgue, the successful you producer is now at the center of his own reality show, one he no longer controls. ben tracy, cbs news, los angeles. >> journalist marcelo gomez was monica's longtime friend and daniel lue knew bruce. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> i'd like to talk about your friend of 17 years.
7:33 am
what would you like us to know about her? >> i only have good things to talk about monica. i've known her since i arrived to the united states. it's a blanlg blow fmajor blow community. she's an icon to the brazilian community. everybody knows her. who doesn't know z after taboza name of her restaurant. >> when you first heard she was missing, what came to your mind? >> i just thought she would show up with a bad headache and it was nothing. and when we heard the reality, it was like we couldn't even believe. we still don't believe. her restaurant is just across
7:34 am
from my office and just feel her presence still there. >> i know that we never really know what happens behind closed doors in a marriage, but from your observations with her and bruce, what kind of marriage did they have? >> well, it's hard to say. i i'm not really close to the couple. i could be wrong, i don't think the story, but he seems an outstanding guy. he's a good person as far as i kn know. they were remodeling the restaurant and he was holding a hammer and doing, you know, work. he's a producer. he doesn't need that. i think he's a guy down to earth. i don't see him as a murderer. but i say i don't know. >> right. let me ask daniel because, daniel, do you know bruce quite well. you were a contestant on
7:35 am
"surviror: amazon" which he produced. what were your impressions of him, are you surprised he's under suspicion for this crime? >> i was shocked. we're a survivor family and we sdwrus had our 10th anniversary party celebration in january. and when i knew him, he was just a cool even tempered type of guy. and he had to be to an producer to "survivor." you're dealing with a lot of cranky "survivor" contestants. and when i got voted off, he was very encouraging to me, he hung out with us and, yeah, he's just not that team of person. >> daniel, marcelo, thank you. i want to bring in lisa bloom, as well. lisa, he is under arrest for murder or under suspicion at this point. what are his rights under mexican law and do they differ from charges here in in country? >> that's right, maggie. he's been detained and released and they can do that for up to 48 hours at a time.
7:36 am
if he is arrested, he has the right to be charged within 72 hours in front of a judge and in some ways merks company does give the same rights as u.s. courts. he has the right to an attorney of his choosing, he has the right to remain silent. he has sort of speedy trial rights within about one year. but amnesty international has issued a bless tering report about the mexico criminal justice system. it is notoriously corrupt. the jails they say are unsanitary, violent and overcrowded. you certainly do not want to be arrested in mexico. that's for sure. >> do you think that mexican authorities will handle this especially carefully because it's getting so much attention in this country? >> absolutely. i think the glare of the media has to help him, some of the practices that we hear about in mexico i think are less likely if there is attention brought to this case. but bottom line is that he's in another country. it is their criminal justice system that will govern this
7:37 am
case, not ours. the fbi can step in if mexico authorities ask them to, but they don't have the right to step in. their laws are going to govern. if he is ultimately arrested and convicted and sentenced, he would have the right to be brought back to u.s. prison to serve his sentence, and there's no death penalty in mexico if he's charged with a homicide. that would be one advantage for him. and sentence it s are typically shorter there than here. >> thank you very much for your time. now we want to switch gears and bring dave back. we were talking about the masters at the top of the show, so why don't we talk about some augusta weather while we're looking at the maps. yesterday we wereing about that threat of thunderstorms that did roll through. now it's simply gorgeous. temperature in the mid-70s. a little bit of wind, but that's what you can expect as we head into the weekend. stretching back much of the rest of the country looks terrific.

in this morning's "moneywatch," a boom in retail sales. the latest numbers show strong gains after last year's big decline. that's good news for the economy. what does it mean for the rest of us consumers? rebecca jarvis is here with some answers. good morning. >> good morning. good so there was an anticipation that this number might go up in march. how much did it go up and were people surprised? >> people were what some what surprised. the bottom line here is that it went up 9%. march sales for retailers went up 9%, the best month since march of 1999. that's what we want to see in this economy. we want to see those numbers continue to grow because the
7:43 am
consumer, which makes up 70% of the u.s. economy as our spend, needs to continue to improve. >> is that a signal, would you look at this and say that's a positive sign? >> you look at it and say, yes, it's a positive, but you alsos put in the fact that easter came early this year and on top of that, the weather plays a role. it was abnormally cool at the beginning of march, abnormally hot at the end, so people that had a reason to spend and the retailers got that right. >> one of the things that people are spending money on and we see it right out here at the apple store, did they sell almost half a million ipads? >> if you build it, they will come. the apple ipad, $500 a pop, still selling almost half a million as you've said. it shows you that retailers can lure in consumers with the right kinds of purchases even in tough economic times. >> interesting for us, though, as consumer, one of the things that we have seen is this drop
7:44 am
in prices and all kinds of levels. car prices, mortgage prices, prices are way, way down. will they continue to stay down, or since demand is starting to rise, will we see a concomitant rise in prices, as well? >> chicks 101, supply goes down, demand goes up, then prices go up. right now we're looking at prices continuing to remain at the levels we see right now. what we have seen since last year is prices have come down significantly. retailers have managed their businesses much better, so you see less inventory in the stores. you'll see less sales as a result of that because they have less inventory and it's getting cheered at full prices right now. >> you study this stuff. this is part of what you live for. with all of these different signs, you see the dow starting to -- flirting with -- >> 11 hour,000. >> you see see consumers starting to spend again. is there a light at the end of
7:45 am
the tunnel in. >> we all want to see the lights.liglight. it's a glimmer of hope. we've seen a recovery and we knee to see that sustained. that is the most important thing. it's a matter of confidence, building confidence. every time a good number comes out, our psyche changes a little bit more. >> rebecca jarvis, thank you very much. we'll be right back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. woohoo! it's not the lighting, girlfriend. mnh-mnh. oh gosh! woo! it's this drab one-tone hair color, ick. yeah. let's szush it up.

8:02 am
the whole idea here has been to get rescue crews into the mine and check out these two refuge rooms, the only place pisoffici think those miners could still be alive. this morning they got to one, checked it out, it was empty. but then smoke and fire actually chased the rescue teams out of the mines and officials here are bitterly disappointed. >> there is smoke in all four of those entries and the smoke is traveling from this side toward the long wall face indicating that we have a fire somewhere. so it was at that time that a decision was made to evacuate the rescuers and to begin the inerting process. >> reporter: so now the plan is to actually lower a camera into the mine. they think they can get a camera close enough to this second refuge room to check it out.
8:03 am
if they're able to do that, if that refuge room is empty, if it's not been used, then officials here are starting to concede that slim hope will start to turn to no hope. betty in. >> letgem axelrod in west virgi. now to thailand. this morning proceed teser tos are heating up. for the first time police used tear gas and water cannons. ghon strar demonstrators have been trying to force new elections. and call it a close encounter of the big rock kind. the rock is a 71-foot astroid that sailed past planet earth missing us by about 270,000 miles, this which is a bit farther than the moon, but in astronomical terms, that is a near miss. katie couric now has a preview of tonight's "cbs evening news." a stranger helped hubs of hurricane victims raising money

8:07 am
embryo adoption. >> i was like this is perfect. i'll have the opportunity to be pregnant in addition to once again giving a child that needs a home a home. >> reporter: on a website, she located a california couple who wanted to donate four proceed fen embryos. in a contract signed by mclauf len and the california couple, the embryos were described as pre-born children who are entitled to the rights and protection accordinged to all children legally and morally. >> we believe this life begins at conception, so we really felt like we wered adopting two babies. >> reporter: two embryos were left over, embryos mclauf len wants to use to give birth again because she considers them anna and sarah's siblings. but last month, the donor mom notified mclaughlin she wanted to give the embryos to another family and is demanding them back today. mclaughlin's hired a lawyer to prove she has a legal right to keep them and expand her family.
8:08 am
kelly wallace, cbs news, new york. >> joining us now exclusively this morning is general mclaughlin with her attorney, albert watkins, and her beautiful twins. good morning to all of you you. >> good morning. >> jen, anna and sarah are so gorgeous. congratulations first off on their birth. >> thank you. >> i know this was the first time that you were able to be pregnant on your own. you have five other adopted children. how has embryo adoption changed your life? >> well, from the very beginning, when i first read about it on thanksgiving morning, i considered this a huge blessing. even today it's a huge lessing, as well. i never thought we would get to this point. i never wanted to get to this point. but i'm looking at this as a blessing, as well. it's brought my family -- we're a very close family and it's brought us even closer. so i consider this just an additional blessing. >> so you have these two beautiful twins. >> exactly.
8:09 am
>> you have the five other adopted children. you and your family have seven children now. why is it so important to have the two other embryos? >> it's so important to me because they're sarah and in an's genetic siblings. they're also my children, my other adopted children's biological siblings. and my understanding of entering into the contract was that we were given these four embryos which i considered frozen children, frozen in time, and to take on all legal and moral and ethical -- to take account ability for them from when they're frozen and as long as i live. and that's my intention and that's what i want to do and ebl that as a society, we firmly believe that siblings should be kept together to the best of my knowledge every state in the united states fights for siblings that end up in the foster care system to keep them
8:10 am
together if at all possible. and also to find an adoptive family together. and in addition to that, this isn't the fergs first time that i fought for siblings. i wasn't in a fighting situation legally, the russian government worked with me to unite my second oldest son, patrick, about his biological brother that was living in russia that he had never met. >> so this is obviously keeping siblings together is something important to you. >> correct. >> but i want to talk about the legal aspect of this. and bring in mr. watkins. jen signed a contract when she adopted the four emwrbreyos stag that by that today, the contract expires today, and she would essentially give up her rights to unused embryos. so does she have a case here? because legally after today, they're no longer her embryos. >> actually helegally they are
8:11 am
herself. there's provision that permits the donor couple after one year to seek and request control over the disposition of those embryos. >> which is the same thing essentially. she loses custody essentially if the donor family chooses beginning today. >> no however, the underlying provision was prepared and in-koornltsed in to that contract as part of a methodology designed to maintain the fundamental tenants of very conservative christians or catholics. and not go against church doctrine. the thought process was if there are embryos left after the embedding process, that those embryos cannot last or endure forever in this cryo preserved state. in essence, everybody as has a chance to live. pnd under this contract, these are living beings. what wasn't contemplated was it jen would be successfully embedded right off the bat with two of the embryo which is then
8:12 am
necessarily precluded because you can't embed in a pregnant women necessarily pre-cheweded her from being able to utilize the remaining two embryos during that one year period. she is -- these a post-partum state, she is not medically in a condition to have those additional children that happen to be, a, live beings under the terms of the contract, and, b, siblings of these children that have been born. >> it's a complicated which unprecedented one which the court will now decide. >> we have to remember he's are not -- >> mr. wat kin, i'm sorry that's all the time we have. we will continue to follow the story. jen, thank you, as well. >> thank you very much. and now let's go over to harry. >> shifting gears. up next, a look back at the week in news with our favorite comedians. some laughs after these commercials. % long as we're winding up our doing dials, let's wind 'em with precision. open our throttle to even more selection. and turn that savings swagger up full tilt. ♪ so when the time comes to bust open a can of doing...

8:39 am
from celebrities to ever day people. the results are always surprising. and the 2009 survey is no exception. >> as i said, i lied to a lot of people, deceiveded a lot of people. although the end of the year embroiled in a sex scandal and lost roughly $30 million to $40 million in endorsement, tiger woods still managed to swing earnings ever up ready with a of $110 million. nicole, start of jersey shore, grabbed headlines but not much money. she made just $2200. kristen stewart got a $16 million pay out, but the brains behind the project made three times that. the king of parade's list is the 25-year-old who started an experiment in college that became facebook. founder and ceo got a whopping $3 billion pay day in 2009.
8:40 am
holy molly. lamar graham is here to talk more about their survey. good morning to you. so i always enjoy this issue. you surveyed 126 people this time and found interestingly enough that the 20 celebrities you profiled made 450 times more than the 106 regular people? >> 3450 times more money in total, yes. that's crazy. we've done this issue for 27 years now. and we always find that in's sort of a massive disconnect between celebrities and ordinary people, but it was huge this year and i think it goes to the issue of how much americans will willing to pay to be entertained versus how much they're willing to pay for someone to take care of their kids, to protect their country. >> important stuff. >> exactly. it this year we feature an army sergeant who is resking her life for 30 grand. meanwhile jay leno is pulling down $32 million to talk on tv at night. >> maybe people need the
8:41 am
distraction. i don't know what it is. how did you choose the celeb britt tiss? >> what people earn is not a scientific survey. it's a snapshot of what people are making. so we chaz our celebrities kind of who is in the news. the beg cover celeb this year is tiger. but everybody's taken talking about tiger for the last three or four months. he earned $110 million. he's also our top sports earner. 90 million bucks in enforcements and 20 million bucks in tour earnings. i think that will drop in 2010. his problems erupted at the end of 2009. >> i think he'll still do pretty well. and you also featured ellen degeneres. i wonder how much more she makes now that she has the two gigs. >> she makes $35 million. so she makes about three million bucks more than jay leno right now. >> does that already account for her new job as idol? >> i believe so, yes. >> and then you had james cameron who had a huge year.
8:42 am
>> "avatar" made him $50 million in 2009. >> not shabby. and then kanye west, who was very controversial this year, still managed to make a whole lot of money. >> he he made $25 million and taylor swift made 17.2, so he trumped her about by $8 million. >> let's talk about the every day people. how do you get these regular people to offer up their information to you in. >> it's a bit of a truck. every year when we publish the issue, people see it, they love it, they call us, they say they want to participate in next year's issue. and then when we come around to call them and say we need to take your photograph, you need to tell us how much money you make and sign right here on the dotted line, you get a lot of cold feet. so we have a pretty big research team that is dais calling folks months. a lot of cold calling. it's not a scientific survey. we're trying to find people in every state of the union, and we
8:43 am
want to reflect the diversity of the country in terms of ethnicity, gender, range of occupatio occupations. so at the end of the process we're saying we need a truckner idaho or we need a cosmetologist in new jersey or whatever to fill out the list. >> one person you feature has the distinction of being the lowest paid on the list before january either fitzgerald. how much does she make and what does she do? >> she made $1300 in 2009 as a secret shopper. >> what's that in. >> that's a person who is hired buy a department store to buy things and make sure they're being treated well, make sure that the product is as advertised. almost like an in-house detective. and our second lowest performer was snookie of the jersey shore. and in 2009, the cast members of the jersey shore were paid 200 bucks an episode. in 2010, they've leveraged that
8:44 am
up to 10 grand per episode. so don't cry for snookie. >> she took a chance and it paid off. thank you so much. we'll look for the special edition of "parade" magazine this weekend. of course we always read it every weekend, but it's a special 27th annual what people earn. >> in sunday news papers everywhere. >> and on monday, lamar will be back to talk about the best ways to find a job. now back over to harry. every guy likes to eat, but not every guy likes to cook. so lieu sin came lucinda scala quinn has written "mad hungry." she's here to tech me and our brand new friends jake and coal schneider how to get good food on the table. are you ready for the challenge? >> yes. >> are you sure? they're twin, fifth grader, they're hungry, they're unteachable, i can tell that you. >> they're mad hungry.
8:45 am
because you know what that means. >> so we have to get some mad food here. this is a favorite in my house. >> and idea of this book is these are things that you can teach men to do -- >> you cook it and they love it so much that they can't help but need to learn it. and then they go out into the world and they cook. and that's my goal. you go out into the world and you you cook. so you need dishes like this that are super simple and so good. so red wine vinegar and rosemary. you have to get them involved. take a whiff. >> it's good. >> just mix this up a little bit. what i did here is i just browned chicken. super simple, right, guys? and then we're doing something
