and good morning. thank you for joining us. more on that breaking news on the condition of nelson mandela in just a moment. but let's first get right to our top story this morning. we begin with the ongoing violence in syria. rebels there say government forces killed at least 50 more people yesterday. secretary of state hillary clinton is in north africa where she used her strongest language yet to condemn syrian president al assad. our conference was with her at the conference of leaders known as the friends of syria. >> reporter: the conference was a global gathering of outrage. the result was a new set of demands. the first being that assad permit immediate shipments of food, water and medicine or face a world much more angry than it already is. >> if the assad regime refuses to allow this life-saving aid to reach people in need, it will

have even more blood on its hands. and so, too, will those nations that continue to protect and arm the regime. >> reporter: secretary of state clinton predicted the conference would put new pressure on assad, but the saudis seemed to issue a point-blank threat. the saudi foreign minister was asked if it was time to arm the syrian rebellion. >> reporter: why? >> to protect themselves. >> reporter: the conference also marked the debut of the syrian national council, a disdented group of exiles asked to form a transitional government. the leader of the group also warned assad to give up power peacefully, or else. "the defenders of the people are getting more and more arms," he says. "we are trying to negotiate a solution, but if that fails, syria will fall into an arms struggle." the secretary was unusually harsh on the russians and

chinese, blaming them for a share of the violence for their veto of the u.n. resolution that would have condemned assad. the secretary called that veto despicable and asked retorically, whose side are they on? i'm wyatt andrews in tunis, tunisia. >> joining us is the deputy international at "time" magazine. good morning. >> morning. >> the situation in syria, people have asked, well, the libya model and nato model stop the slaughter, interdiction, why won't that work here? >> well, for a start, the syrians have a much more serious army than gadhafi had, aassad is showing every day. he has absolutely no qualms of slaughtering hundreds of his people. so that presents a much greater hurdle. but more practically in libya, you had yew nan imity in the united nations. china and russia agreed to an

action. china and russia have vetoed any proposal to do that in syria. from a practical point of view and facts on the ground, i don't think it's going to work that way. >> and this is a place we've been before in history. take the first round in afghanistan where you're arming the rebels against the russians. if the u.s. arms the rebels, working through a second or third-party country, would that work? >> at the moment, that seems the only possibility. i don't think the u.s. can -- or the west -- can be arming the rebels because that would require them to make judgments about who to arm and who not to arm. and they're not really qualified to do that. but there are others who are. the arab league is in much closer contact with the rebels, the turks. turkey is a bordering country, much more closely connected to the rebels. they could make those judgments. the u.s. and the west can assist in other ways. you can provide communications equipment. you can provide satellite information. you can provide military training. but the actual deciding which groups require to be armed and

can be trusted with those arms, that's something that's probably better done by people who know them better. >> everybody has an interest here. iran has an interest in syria as a client state. the saudis have an interest in a sunni majority there that could give them a bigger foothold in the region in terms of sectarianism. but you never know what you're going to get at the end of one of these revolutions. they're together in the revolution, but the day after the revolution, there's fracturing. do we have any idea what a free syria would look like? >> at this point, no, because that's the other problem. the rebels have spoken generally of wanting to have a democratic system. they want what the egyptians were able to get. they want what the libyans were able to get. but we haven't seen a united leadership emerging from the rebels and articulating the vision they have. all we're hearing is they don't want bashar assad which is

understandable. what they want in his place is not yet clear. >> thanks very much for joining us this morning. >> anytime. and now we have some breaking news from afghanistan. this morning it is the fifth straight day of violence. we are seeing demonstrations over this week's burning of several copies of the muslim holy book, the koran, at a u.s. military base. there's some breaking news this morning. two americans dead there. and mandy clark is in kabul with the latest. mandy, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. well, we're hearing that an american colonel and a major are dead in a shooting incident at the ministry of interior. they were advisers at the ministry of interior, and it's currently on lockdown. there has been demonstrations across the country today. six are dead and over 60 have been injured when they were trying to storm government compounds in eastern afghanistan and also when protesters tried to overrun a u.n. compound in the north.

five days on, and the protesters are still boiling with rage. angry crowds targeting u.s. bases, foreign missions and government buildings. many have also clashed with security forces. they are venting their fury on anyone seen to be working with the american military. on monday, u.s. soldiers accidentally burned copies of the koran along with regular garbage. president barack obama has apologized for the mistake but has done little to temper the anger here. the demonstrations have also spread to neighboring pakistan. they burned american flags and called for vengeance. because of the perceived insult. for muslims, the koran is the literal word of goode. the book itself is sacred. des rating it is the greatest offense. last year after terry jones

burned a copy of the koran, two weeks of protests culminated in crowds, overrunning the u.n. office and killing seven foreign workers. and that's the worry here. the slow-burning anger on the streets that builds on itself. american apologies, investigators and calls for calm are falling on deaf ears and seems there is little they can do to dampen the afghan rage to this incident. >> little end in sight. mandy clark in kabul this morning, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. and back in this country, it's just three days until the michigan primary which is crucial to the hopes of mitt romney and rick santorum. cbs news correspondent dean reynolds joins us live from lansing. good morning, dean. >> reporter: good morning, john. well, a loss here in michigan would be a major setback for either romney or santorum because at this stage in the race, it's all about momentum going forward.

at a speech in detroit, mitt romney said he was uniquely positioned to beat president obama. >> i not only think i have the best chance, i think i have the only chance. maybe i'm overstating it a bit. >> reporter: maybe, but romney is pushing electability as a selling point as the day wind down to michigan's primary on tuesday. and yet romney's event friday in detroit suffered from what politicians call bad optics. ♪ hey hey hey good-bye >> reporter: it wasn't just the demonstrators outside protesting his position against the auto industry bailouts, but away from their taunts, there he stood, delivering a speech to the city's economic club surrounded by 65,000 empty seats at ford field. it was explained that this was the only venue that could handle the demand to hear him. >> i guess we had a hard time finding a large enough place to meet, and this certainly is. >> reporter: but there were plenty of empty seats even within the rows claimed by the

1,200 in attendance. holes here show the race remains neck and neck between romney and rick santorum. the former pennsylvania senator was in michigan as well on friday, greeting voters at a fish fry, and before that, complaining to an interviewer about romney's campaign tactics. >> everybody that's ever been up against mitt romney, he's doing what he's doing in michigan. he has the super pac out there outspending whoever it is by a huge amount of money, trying to misrepresent their record as well as, as he's done, misrepresent his. >> reporter: now, romney's war chest is unquestionably richer than santorum's, so it's no surprise that he's using it to his advantage. but for some reason, it hasn't translated into a big or comfortable lead for romney here in his native state. john? >> dean reynolds in lansing, michigan, thanks. and for more on the republican race, we're joined by major garrett, white house correspondent for "the national journal" joining us from our

washington bureau. good morning, major. >> good morning. great to be with you. >> they are running neck and neck, but the latest polls show santorum has the slight lead over romney. how devastateding is a loss in his home state? >> if romney loses michigan, he says he's going to win. i wrote in "the national journal" that every aspect of momentum and potency the romney campaign has always told republicans was their biggest and most important advantage disappears. michigan is really not just a battleground state electorally in the general election, it is the most important state for romney to prove that he is in fact the likely gop nominee and the best gop nominee. if he loses there, all the credibility to make that case goes away. >> are you saying, major, that essentially a romney loss in michigan could mean a democratic win in the general election? >> i think you have to look at michigan as a likely democratic state anyway. it sets up that way historically, at least in modern

presidential history. it's tended toward the democrats. if romney is the nominee or whoever it is, it would be a difficult battle to make michigan a swing state in the general election. but for romney to talk to other republicans, if he doesn't win his own home state after having a big lead and then clawing his way back into it, i think he'd have a hard time saying look, i've got momentum. if santorum wins, that sets up tennessee, oklahoma, other places where he could roll up not only victories but delegates. >> you think michigan could point to the outcome on super tuesday as well? >> if, in fact, romney loses. but i think romney has a good chance of winning in michigan, and i think he's going to win in arizona. remember, 59 delegates up for grabs on tuesday. arizona's 29 will be awarded, winner take all. so if romney wins even narrowly in michigan, he could walk away with most of the delegates with refreshed and renewed momentum, he could take ohio, possibly take georgia away from gingrich where he's supposed to be the front-runner there.

that's why i think michigan is very important for romney. santorum can survive either way. but i think a loss of any magnitude in michigan could really, really undercut romney. >> watching this entire election play out, it's been like a horse race. one person's in the lead. the next person's in the lead. how clear do you think of an indication these next ten days are going to be about who the gop candidate ultimately will be that goes to the general election? >> well, it really depends on how romney carries out this next tuesday's two sets of contests. as i said, if he wins michigan and arizona, even if he wins michigan narrowly and arizona somewhat comfortably, i think he re-establishes his momentum. i think a lot of lean romney voters said that's why we've always been in this kpamp. if he consolidates that, he moves into super tuesday with genuine momentum and puts aside santorum. if the opposite happens, you might have some renewed conversation among republicans about someone stepping in. but i've always doubted that

there is a white knight. those who have said they're not going to run are not going to re-enter now. santorum and romney will continue to fight state by state and delegate by delegate for that magic number, 1, 144. >> thanks for joining us. issue number one in the campaign is, of course, by the economy. just by some recent positive trend, there is in growing concern that soaring gas prices could stall the recovery. and joining us now to discuss it is jonathan tish, chairman of loews hotels. good morning. >> good morning. >> how big is the issue going to be? >> the economy is getting stronger. we're starting to see areas around the country where employment numbers are getting better. but when people go to the pump and they're faced with putting $5 a gallon worth of fuel in their car, multiply that by millions of millions of people doing it every minute, it's a challenge. and then when you look at some of the problems that we still face in the eurozone, what's

going on in the middle east, things are getting better, but there are clearly some areas that we're still very concerned about. >> you oversee a large corporation that deals primarily in tourism and travel. how are you seeing the impact of these factors including gasoline but the other psychological factors you mentioned, the middle east, the concerns about europe play into business? >> well, the interesting factor is that if you break down travel and tourism, people travel for business. they travel for pleasure. ceos are letting their employees, their key executives, back on the road again because their business is improving. the consumer, the last couple years, is starting to feel better about themselves, so they're on the road again. but once again, the sector of higher energy prices is a challenge. so we're optimistic, but also we're a little cautious right now. >> is there a tipping point in your analysis? i mean, right now the entire country is paying a little over $3.80 for gas, but it could be above $4 in a matter of days.

>> prices historically go up this time of year for all the factors we know, increased demand, refineries are switching over, but it's going to be a challenge for all of us americans. it's a concern. >> issue number one has been jobs for a long time now. the unemployment rate is 8.3%. we have a new report coming out for the month of february on friday. what do you expect? >> i think the numbers are going to continue to improve. businesses are hiring. they're doing better. and if you look at what happened over the last two years, three years, ceos have their balance sheets in much better shape. there's less debt. they're sitting on some cash. they are starting to expand. but they're only going to expand if there's a good business reason for it. if there is a business case. and the challenge today is that the margin of error is so thin. you can't make a bad decision because they're going to take you down quickly. it's such a competitive world that we live in. >> and by "they," you mean wall street. >> wall street, if you're a

publicly traded company, the banks. they are so nervous because they're still working on reso e resolving their issues. so a ceo, a head of a business, whether it's a mom and pop or a big public company, they want to expand. they want to hire more people, but they're nervous. they're always looking at the possible down side. >> john tisch, thanks so much for being with us. and a pair of shoes look like they could help boost one company's bottom line. they're made by nike and they sell by over $200 a pair. sneaker fanatics are lining up all over to grab a pair, and in some places the crowds have gotten so bad, riot police have had to be called in. michelle miller has that story. >> reporter: in tampa, florida, riot police tried to calm nearly 1,000 shoppers outside of a shoe store. someone had tried to cut a line that began forming last tuesday. they and many others across the nation hope to be among the first to buy the nike foamposite

gala galaxy, a shoe in such demand, it is an internet sensation. >> one thing i go straight to. >> reporter: at $220 a pair, nike coincided the release of this glow in the dark shoe and three other space scene sneakers with nba all-star weekend in florida, a nod to the state's space program. though it kept so-called sneakerheads in line from coast to coast was the signature foot gear's out of this world resale price. >> the retail is $230, the resale is maybe up to $4,500. if you're going to pay me a couple thousand to sit outside for a couple hours, i'll be sitting right here. >> reporter: we found one ebay posting offering the shoe for $2,500. limited-ee ligs releases have generated buzz for nike with minimal advertising. but there is concern. the marketing ploy has set a violent precedent. for "cbs this morning saturday,"

i'm michelle miller in new york. now for the rest of the morning's headlines, we turn to cbs news correspondent and morning anchor betty nguyen. good morning, betty. >> good morning to you both and to you at home. former south african president nelson mandela is hospitalizedized in south africa for what's being described as a longstanding abdominal complaint. he became the first black president 18 years ago after spending almost three decades in prison for his fight against apartheid. he was awarded the nobel peace prize for his efforts. mandela is 93 years old and said to be in frail health, but officials say his admission to the hospital is not an emergency and did not involve surgery. south africa's current president, jacob zhuma, is askig his privacy be respected. a car bombing in yemen has killed at least 21 people. it happened outside the gate of a presidential compound in southern yemen. the attack came shortly after their new president was sworn in

in the capital of sana'a. the new government has promised the fight against al qaeda militants. a member of the kennedy clan is in hot water. douglas kennedy, son of robert, is charged with child endangerment for trying to take his newborn son out of a suburban new york hospital and then assaulting nurses when they tried to stop him. kennedy and his wife call the allegations, quote, absurd. and finally, it wasn't exactly pennies from heaven, but it certainly poured pennies on an oklahoma highway. hundreds of thousands of coins spilled out the back of an open door armored car yesterday in tulsa. look at that. it took police and highway workers hours to sweep up the mess and get traffic moving again. my goodness. i bet a few people are a penny richer, maybe. 21 minutes past the hour. here's lonnie quinn. i don't know, would you pick up a few pennies? >> how many times when you're driving, you see the armored car drive by, boy, what if the

backdoor opened? >> what if? >> here's what i've got for you right now. take a look at this live picture of new york city. what a beautiful shot. hey, right there, our beautiful skyline. and the pretty sky behind us here in new york city. i want to show you my weather headlines. the southern plains have a wonderful day. northwest, wintry, northeast, a windy day. why? the northeast yesterday low-pressure system brought snow and rain. high pressure filling in behind it. pressure gradient in between bringing some winds for philadelphia, new york city and boston. at times those winds blow close to 60 miles per hour. here's a closer look at the weather for your weekend. all right, everybody, that's

going to do it for weather. john and rebecca, all yours. coming up, a growing number of preteens posting videos asking, "am i ugly?" a look at the cry for help and sad lack of self-esteem. if being without your cell phone, it's called nomophobia. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday."

good morning, cincinnati, and welcome to "cbs this morning saturday." i'm rebecca jarvis. >> and i'm john miller. coming up, a saddening trend, teens and tweens are turning to the internet to ask, "am i ugly?" how to reach kids with such low self-esteem. also, do you love your cell phone? >> i have to say, we're having a long affair. >> i am addicted to my cell phone. i cannot live without it, and therefore i am a nomophobiac. and from trash to treasure. the basement discovery that made a man a multimillionaire. just one of the stories behind the headlines.

but first, a story that's been making headlines for the past two years. in april of 2010, the body of monica beresford-redman was found in a sewer in mexico. her husband, bruce, a former reality show producer, was arrested for her murder. now for the first time, he's speaking out from behind bars as he prepares to go on trial. "48 hours" correspondent troy roberts got the story. >> reporter: it happened at a luxurious reach resort in cancun, mexico, in april of 2010. bruce beresford-redman was a highly successful reality tv producer. whose past credits include "survivor" and "the contender," and he has always insisted that he's been falsely accused of killing his 42-year-old wife, monica. >> everyone seems to have decided a long time ago that i killed my wife. i didn' kill my wife. >> reporter: he says monica went

out shopping for the day and never returned. police believe he killed her one night, then dumped her body in a sewer on the hotel grounds. >> they claim that in a hotel room with my two small children that i killed her and that i left her in the room all day long while my children and i went in and out all the while this dead body is in the room. it's ludicrous and completely false. >> reporter: monica's sisters are convinced bruce killed her. >> i wish i could believe that he didn't have anything to do with my sister's murder, but the evidence is very strong. >> i can't imagine how anyone who listened to everything that was said could possibly think that i had anything to do with killing my wife. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning saturday," i'm troy roberts. >> you can see the entire "48 hours mystery" episode, the producers of the story -- the producers of the story tonight at 10:00 right here on cbs.

that's all but ahead first, here's lonnie with another check of the weather. >> all right, john. we'll get right to it. first i want to show you that cool-looking shot of new york city right here, my big picture screen. some of the famous hotels. you saw the essex house, park plaza next to that. the headlines, windy in the northeast, windy in the northwest and both corners of the country will have snow to go along with those winds. but i will say up around the northeast, there's your snow. it's in the form of snow showers. that system getting out of here. you want to pay closer attention to the system pushing on shore around the pacific northwest. because i'm talking quite a bit of snow. again, up to a foot of snow for portions of washington, oregon, nevada, and idaho as well. winds 40, 60 miles per hour that will push it east tomorrow. so from international falls to glasgow tomorrow, you could see a foot of snow. that's a quick little look at one portion of the country. here's a closer look at the weather for your weekend.

all righty. happy saturday, everybody. rebecca, over to you. >> thanks so much. it is the moment nascar fans have been waiting for. the green flag will wave at the daytona 500 on sunday, and danica patrick, the most successful female racer in history, is making her debut in america's great race. >> reporter: tomorrow nearly 200,000 racing fans will fill the daytona international speedway for the 54th running of the daytona 500. called america's great race, the 500 features wheel-to-wheel racing at speeds that approach 200 miles per hour. and it's one of the most popular televised sporting events of the year watched by nearly 30 million viewers.

the story this year is danica patrick, the popular driver and sexy media star who's beginning her first full year on the nascar circuit. and despite this nasty-looking crash on thursday, she's the one everybody has their eye on. eight former winners are on the starting grid including 21-year-old trevor bayne who won the race last year in only his second career start. and joining us now from daytona is former nascar champ darrell waltrip. he is author of "sundays will never be the same." and he's also calling tomorrow's race for fox. great to have you with us, darrell. good morning. >> good morning. thank you for being a part of the daytona 500. it's going to be a big, big deal. >> so many people will be, and so many people will be cheering on the sidelines for the super bowl of nascar. what do you think is going to be the big story tomorrow? what headline are we going to see coming out of all of this? >> well, of course, you know,

danica patrick has sort of stolen all the headlines. she didn't do herself any harm yesterday by winning the pole position for the preliminary race today. but she'll be the third woman to ever start the daytona 500. and she's probably the first to have a bona fide chance at actually winning the race. so she's a big story. dale jr., our other big superstar, he's up there. he's got a great race car. this is setting up -- carl edwards, greg biffle on the front row, tony stewart, matt kenseth, this is going to be a good one. this may be the best one we've had since maybe 1979. >> you heard it here first. what do you think, darrell, about danica's chances of making the transition from indy to nascar? >> well, you mentioned the accident she had on thursday in the qualifying race. and i was fascinated. when we had the in-car camera, she's headed for that wall at 180 miles an hour. and she had the presence of mind to let go of the steering wheel

and put her hands up. that's an old indy car thing so you don't break your wrist when the car hits the wall. you know what i'd have been doing? ah! >> i think 99.99% of us would. i certainly would have been in that position. who do you think, outside of danica patrick, who do you think will be some of the other big stories tomorrow? >> well, you know, the qualifying races are sometimes indicative of who has a good car for 150 miles. but this is a 500-mile grind. and the guys with the most experience. they seem to be able to lay back and save their car and not get themselves in some of those wrecks that we have, these big wrecks we have. and they're there at the end. people like jeff gordon and jimmie johnson and carl edwards and tony stewart and junior. and there's a number of other veterans. but we've got some really strong, young drivers, too. we've got marcus ambrose. he's an australian guy driving for richard petty. he's got a great car this week. and some of the toyotas that my brother has. we've had ten -- the last ten

daytona 500s, we've had ten different winners. so here you go. you pick one. >> it's going to be an exciting day, and we're excited to see you call it. thanks for joining us, darrell waltrip. we appreciate it. >> nice to be here. and coming up next, teens and preteens revealing their sad lack of self-esteem. how parents can help. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." we know can do the job. a paint new glidden duo paint plus primer available only at the home depot. one coat does double duty. and fits our budget perfectly. so there's a brand-new room... ...right where the old one used to be. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. new glidden duo paint plus primer. only at the home depot. and starting at only $24.97 a gallon. 8% every 10 years.age 40, we can start losing muscle -- wow. wow. but you can help fight muscle loss

dr. jen hartstein, child and adolescent psychologist, and "cbs this morning" contributor lee woodruff. good morning. >> good morning. >> this is not a fun thing, is it? it's really scary. >> it's painful to watch. >> yeah, it is painful to watch, and it makes you wonder, what is it inside of these kids that feels the need to do this? what do you think it is, jen? >> well, i think it's a combination of what's inside and this need to figure out who they are because 11 is really -- we're starting middle school, really trying to figure out who we are in the world. and the external, because the messages that they're getting is you need to be beautiful. you need to look a certain way. you need to have a certain body style. so the fact that it's the combination of the internal, the external working together and ultimately working against them. it's really a shame. >> and to your point, these are questions girls and boys have always asked throughout time. you used to ask it to a mirror. and now you can ask it to the entire population on the internet, and that's really frightening. >> and the answers are not

always kind. the school yard version of this is you had to put up with the five kids in the school yard who picked on you. when you ask these things on the internet, you open yourself up to the whole world. >> anonymity. in the school yard perhaps those five kids aren't going to be cruel to your face. but you go on cyberspace -- >> and you're opening it up to the world. now you have people across the country potentially giving you these answers. and the answers have not really been kind. they're saying, am i ugly? they're saying yeah, you are. they're opening up cyber bullying, and that's also potentially very scary. >> you probably see this in your practice, maybe not the am i ugly version, but kids are going on the internet, it's all around. what's your advice to parents? and if you were a parent who found out your child had done this, what would you tell them to do? >> it's a really tough question. we were talking about this in the back and saying parents need to be monitoring. technically on youtube, you're not supposed to be on till you're 13 just like facebook. are you monitoring?

where are your kids getting on? if you see they are, ask them why? what's going on? what do they think beauty is? start a dialogue and see where you can go with that. >> you have two girls who are around this age. >> i do. and i was actually showing them the site. nd they said, mom, we would never do this. i looked at them and said, you know, mom's going to watch everything you're doing. i did this with your older siblings, and i will do it with you. i think the key, too, we were talking about is really accentuating their positives. i watch my girls as they look at themselves. we talk about the fact that somebody's a great singer or the other twin is a wonderful artist. and when you pump up the positive parts of them, you're never going to combat that am i ugly? am i pretty thing. they will have to grow into that. >> we as women have that issue. it's not like it ends when we're an adult. but i think it's knowing where all of your strengths lie and accentuating that so much that they know it doesn't only have to be one thing or other. >> i hate to take a bad story

and make it worse, but with when young, attractive children are out there on the internet and they're asking for positive reinforcement, that can come from some of the darkest corners of the internet. there are predators out there, more reason for parents to be engaged. >> absolutely. >> we can't minimize the fact that you don't know who's looking at these videos. there have been studies people are snagging them and putting them on really inappropriate websites. yeah, it is pretty disgusting. we really want to be aware of what's happening. >> thanks so much for joining us on this topic this morning. >> thank you. and for more tips on how to help your children build a better self-image, go to our partner in health, webmd.com and search building self-esteem. coming up next, this is something i do. i am notorious for doing it. sleeping with the cell phone. i actually sleep with the blackberry and the cell phone right next to the bed. all right. if you get into cold sweats, if you can't find your phone -- we're not going to go there right now, john, but guess what?

it is the newest phobia that we've got to worry about. it's called nomophobia, and it is the fear of losing your cell phone. >> according to a new survey, it now affects 70% of women and only 61% of men. >> interesting. >> joining us to discuss smartphone addictions -- >> when i go playing football, anything. i always have my cell phone with me. >> my friends, they have to sleep with their phone just in case they get a text message in the middle of the night. so yeah, i think it's a phobia. >> i think it's more of an anxiety because it's something that's always with you in your hand and, like, when it dies, for example, or you don't have it, you kind of feel lost. >> we have an addiction to being connected to the internet or to other people constantly. so when you don't have that, anxiety attack. >> after 9/11, i just brought my phone with me all the time. my friends tell me i'm totally obnoxious. the ones who are not like me say

obnoxious. the ones who are like me, they understand it completely. >> i understand it completely. joining us is dr. david greenefield, founder of the center for internet and technology addiction and author of "virtual addiction." great to have you with us, doctor. >> thank you. great to be here. >> so is this legit? is this a buzzy name or something, or is it a legitimate phobia? >> well, it's a buzzy name in the sense that it's a new name somebody coined. i don't know how it was coined, but basically, often when new problems come out, the media or somebody comes up with a catchy phrase like virtual addiction. >> so it's a real problem with a catchy phrase to go with it. >> that's right. and it's been a problem for a long time, mainly with computers, pcs and tablets, and now the smartphone is the latest and greatest connection of that. >> is there like an aa to go along with there? >> there are 12-step programs. and they happen to be online, a lot of them. >> doesn't that geet the

purpose? >> is it does. the beauty of the internet is it allows accessibility. for many people, the only way to get to these meetings or to have access is online. >> there is the outcome, the troubling, the jarring part, is it can happen to relationships, it can hurt them. >> yes, it can. whether it's on a pc or smartphone or laptop, you are not doing other things so it draws your attention. 90% of people lose track of time and space when they're on the internet whether it's on a smartphone or a computer. >> the business with trying to deal with family, children and you're, like, no, no, i've got to do this first. >> and also in the workplace because a lot of people waste time on these technologies. and they're not doing their job. >> so what do you recommend we do instead? >> well, in general, we recommend that people choose times where they don't take their phone with them or where they purposely allow themselves to disconnect and be offline. leave it in the car. leave it home. that limits on your use and on

your patterns of behavior. >> so it has to be a concerted effort, and there have to be really no cell phone, no smartphone time. >> yeah, you take control of the technology instead of the technology taking control over you. basically, the technology will run you if you don't allow it because your brain gets rewards every time you go on the technology. >> find a way to reward yourself in the real world. >> that's correct, realtime. >> thank you so much. we appreciate you being with us. >> you're welcome. coming up next, it is the multimillion-dollar discovery in an old couple's basement. that and other stories behind the headlines right here on "cbs this morning saturday." yes.

welcome to "cbs this morning saturday." i'm rebecca jarvis. >> and i'm john miller. in just a moment, we're going to talk to our reporter about why for the first time in his life he went swimming with some sharks off the coast of florida without a cage. >> not my cup of tea. >> no. also, they are the toast of hollywood. but you won't see them at the oscars tomorrow night because they are cute canines, and they may be the big scene stealers for blockbusters like silent movies, but they can't get nomina nominated, at least not yet. now that the kids are gone, middle-aged women are undergoing a profound change. according to a new study, the sex, line fine wine, gets better. we'll take a look at this new

sexual revolution. first more serious news. breaking news this morning in afghanistan where violent protests against the burning of the koran are in their fifth day. two american service members have been killed, and mandy clark is in kabul with the latest. good morning, mandy. >> reporter: good morning. there was a shooting incident at the command and control center of the ministry of interior. an american colonel and an american major were shot dead. our sources are telling us that an afghan police officer shot them in the head. now, the ministry has been locked down. and the general allen, who is the commander of nato forces here in afghanistan, is currently visiting the site. nato says they're investigating the incident. it did happen on the fifth day of protests, and there have been six people killed today and another 60 injured when a group of protesters tried to storm a government -- a governor's compound in eastern afghanistan

while other protesters attempted to overrun a u.n. office in the north. >> mandy, is there anything that can be done to ease the violence? >> reporter: at the moment, very little. there is joint u.s. and afghan investigations into the koran-burning incident. that's due out shortly. but it's likely to hold very little weight with the afghan people. president karzai has called for those responsible to face a public trial. again, even that may do very little to quell the anger here. >> clearly a very difficult situation. mandy clark in kabul, afghanistan, thanks for being with us. we appreciate it. and now for the rest of this morning's headlines, we turn to cbs news correspondent and morning news anchor betty nguyen. good morning. >> good morning to you. in syria this morning, there is finally a bit of relief for residents of the embattled city of homs. the syrian red crescent and arm of the international red cross

is doing its best to evacuate injured civilians even as syrian army shelling continues. the red crescent had been blocked from entering the city until yesterday. doctors in turkey have performed -- listen to this -- the world's first quadruple limb transplant. two arms and two legs were attached to a young man during a 20-hour surgery. the extraordinary operation required the skills of 50 doctors. now, there's no word yet on the condition of the patient. and in los angeles, a police chase of an armed carjacker came to a dramatic end with the suspect being killed in a hail of bullets. a security camera caught thursday's action when the man pointed a gun at a motorist at a gas station. police had chased the suspect for an hour. they cornered him at another gas station and opened fire. now, a man pumping gas just a few feet away actually had to duck and cover. there were no injuries reported.

know the gulf coast will see a little rain. for south florida, you've got to love the keys. beautiful sunshine. john, over to you. speaking of the weather in florida, the weather down there is great. great for sharks. last year florida had more shark attacks than anywhere else in the world. but that didn't stop our friend, david sutta, at cbs station wfor in miami. he jumped in feet first and did it without a cage. he joins us from key biscayne. good morning.

>> reporter: good morning, john. i'm happy to report i've got all my fingers and limbs. we got uncomfortably close in a series of dives over the past few weeks. it takes a certain kind of person to do this work. his name is dr. samuel gruber. >> here's what i want. >> reporter: you could call him the shark whisperer. >> i want you to try to clear that shark. can you do that or no? >> reporter: but he hardly whispers. >> go look at that shark. >> reporter: perhaps he's the shark barker. >> that's all he is. >> reporter: dr. samuel gruber could be summed up in one word -- crazy. >> i frankly never thought i'd live past 30. maybe now. maybe now. >> reporter: despite being bit by one, he's made it to 74 years old, and he's still rounding up huge sharks at his shark research lab. >> we have two more sharks. >> reporter: doc violated invite to see sharks up close. he convinced me i needed to swim with sharks for the first time in my life. >> your left hand, pectoral fin

in your right hand. >> reporter: i'm nervous. i've never been this close. >> go, guys! go! >> reporter: this 11-foot tiger shark is nearly twice my size. she could take a bite out of me at any moment. >> the only thing i can think of is this is not jaws. we glide 80 feet into her world, a glimpse into the side of sharks we have never seen. back at the dock, he explains jaws got it wrong. sharks are not out for us. we are out for them. to make his point, he catches the top shark in the ocean, a bull. >> let him run! let him run! then even more of a top predator than like a great white shark. >> reporter: he walks right up

and grabs him by the fin. >> the chinese are going to go wild over those things. >> reporter: asian demand for shark fin soup is encouraging fishermen. this winter florida fishermen started to attack the practice. biologists believe it's inadequate because sharks migrate up and down the east coast based on the season. he takes us back under water to explain why we should protect these sharks. diving with a shark is one thing. diving into a pack, though, is another. >> we are not in danger? >> actually, these are dangerous sharks. >> reporter: he calms my nerves by petting one. then he explains sharks move by motion. >> the reef sharks will

they're more afraid probably of getting sued than they are of what some crazy shark guy has to say. >> reporter: ever persistent and crazy -- >> crazy like a fox. >> reporter: -- pursues the world for the most misunderstood animal. >> all right. let him go. let him go. >> reporter: what a wild ride. we can tell you one of the fascinating things, they're putting satellite tags on these sharks to track where they go. there's an app called expedition white shark. we looked at it this week. guess what. the shark i rode down on is actually at biscayne bay right now. >> and you're following him on the iphone. you might have nomophobia. like most tv correspondents who probably have an agent. so this is actually not your first time dealing with sharks, but i'm still a little confused about the shark attacks being fishing them.the law to ban don't those things conflict? >> reporter: they absolutely do. and in the case here, what they're trying to do is show you

that the sharks are actually disappearing here in florida because of the fishing. and while you see great numbers off our shores, still there are about 10% -- the experts are saying they're about 10% of what used to be here back in the day. >> amazing. david sutta from our station wfor in my miami. up next, why e gone to the dogs. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." the gel transforms into a foam and surrounds your teeth. pronamel iso-active helps protect against the effects of acid erosion. we bring a bold, savory twist to noodles. mmm.

the oscars are tomorrow night, and they've already gone to the dogs. several cute canines are the talk of the town after starring in oscar-nominated hits like "the artist." you won't see any of those precious pups on the red carpet. but as lee cowan reports, that could change very soon. ♪ >> reporter: "the artist" is a silent film with an almost deafening oscar buzz. but if you ask its lead actor,

jean dujardin what makes the film so charming, he'll tell you -- >> the story is a love story. and the dog. >> reporter: and a dog? >> the dog, the cute dog. >> reporter: that cute dog is uggy, a 10-year-old jack russell terrier who found his way onto hollywood's red carpet. his performance offers the humorous exclamation point to a film with no words. a trained talent who fittingly enough has a casting agent who couldn't be more proud. >> i knew he was the only dog that can fill this role. i mean, i knew it from the time i read the script. >> reporter: but uggy isn't the only canine cast in a nominated role this year. cosmo starring opposite ewan mcgregor in "beginners" even has speaking parts. >> you'd better learn how to talk with me. >> reporter: via subtitles. >> dogs learn so fast. they really do. and they're eager to work.

>> the telecast of the academy awards tomorrow night is one of the best-skept secrkept secrets. great to have you with us, marisa. good morning. >> morning. >> there just hasn't been that much buzz this year, frankly. why? >> well, yeah. so there's secrecy and there's lack of buzz. and i think it's lack of buzz. i mean, the oscars are always shrouded in secrecy. the producers want to have some surprises, some surprise guests walking on for the viewers. but this year, you know, as we know, billy crystal was something of a last-minute addition. and so i think there's just a not whole lot to say this year. and, you know, there's a rumor that eddie murphy could show up. of course, that's been shot down. so i think it's the last-minute nature of it and the fact that we have a host that we've seen eight times previously. >> right. >> is making it a little less -- there's a little less anticipation there. >> what are the areas where

there was some anticipation was this whole sacha baron cohen thing. she's going to be in this movie that comes out in may where he plays a dictator. he was saying oh, i'm going to show up on the red carpet dressed as the dictator. you have the producers of the academy awards saying please don't do that. as of yesterday, they changed their mind and said, oh, no, we have no problem with it. show up as the dictator. is that manufactured buzz? >> you know what? it's manufactured by sacha baron cohen. >> right. >> and it's very effective for him. but i think the oscar producers realized that they were looking like the party poopers here, that they were looking like, you know, the finger waggers. no, you cannot show up and commercialize the oscars. >> yeah, exactly. what are they, if not that? but the question is, are they basically saying, okay, we realize we've got to make this a little more buzzy. we have to be on board with the fun element of this, even though billy crystal is our guy, he's done this multiple times in the past? >> yeah, i think they realized that this could be something that might pull in some people,

might cause some people to actually watch. and as wonderful as billy crystal is, you know, he is out of the demographic that they want to attract. sacha baron cohen is. and so they realized that they had a real opportunity to maybe convert some of that buzz to viewers. >> it's interesting, though, you bring up demographic, and james franco and anne hathaway hosted last year. is the fact that billy crystal is on board, is that a sign that maybe it didn't work, that that was a failed experiment? >> oh, i think everyone basically agrees that it was a failed experiment including james franco. but yeah -- >> he had a funny thing to say. i want to get to the best movies. who do you think's going to take the big wins this year? >> well, everybody who predicts these things is predicting that "the artist" will win best picture, best director and could possibly win best actor for jean dujardin. but george clooney could be a surprise for best actor for "the

descendants." >> thanks so much for being with us. have a great weekend. neck, a surprising new survey on sex. why like wine, it gets better with age. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." hey, you made your own lunch. yep!

moderately or very satisfied. even after their 80s. >> the youngest women and the oldest women reported the highest incidence of orgasm satisfaction. >> turns out i'm a bit of a slut. >> reporter: it's complicated, though. at least for some women. one-third admitted they had little or no sexual desire, but that doesn't mean they weren't satisfied. >> they found satisfaction through caressing, through emotional closeness with their partner, through other entities that may have developed over the course of a long relationship that did not necessarily require a sexual act. >> and joining us now from san francisco is barbara rose brooker, she is author of "viagra diaries" and relationship expert heidi banks. great to have you with us. >> this is such a great study. >> tell me more about this, heidi. >> it's really about women creating, establishing and knowing they have sex esteem.

response. so when that response goes down, they have to become much more creative in the bedroom p a. and what's happening is these women are getting more satisfied because of that. >> so you already answered part of this question which is how much does the partner have to do with it but also how much of a game changer in this equation is viagra? >> that's such a great question. i actually spoke to one of the leading doctors in the country about this question yesterday, virginia reeves. and what she said is, it's a problem right now. because in the past, up until the point where viagra -- first of all, 50 years outside the sexual revolution, the early '60s, we're now in 2012. up until that point, it was all about, you know, pleasing men. >> right. >> what's going on? now all of a sudden men are coming in with viagra, and they're saying i can hold an erection longer. well, what makes a woman happy is not necessarily how long a man can sustain an erection. it's how much caressing, how much foreplay.

>> i want to bring in barbara who joins us from outside the studio. you wrote the book "viagra diaries," so clearly this is a topic you understand well. >> actually, it's interesting what you're saying, heidi. i think viagra is the greatest cure since polio. i really do. i think it's fabulous. i also think that it's been used a lot like candy for a lot of these men. and a lot of these men -- now, this is my experience, my perception from dating. i i'm 75 and i love sex. i also go on the internet, you know, to date and so forth. and most of the men i meet who are between 60 and 80 want to be with a 25-year-old or 30-year-old. we all know that. so i think that ageism is really, really preventing good sex and intimacy. >> we have to leave it there, barbara. thank you so much to you and to you, heidi.

thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> interesting topic. we'll be right back. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."

arched? around? he really does it all. >> he is absolutely amazing. i think because you guys have seen him here, but his generosity of spirit is unparalleled. he's one of those great guys who will resurrect a career and give so many new people opportunities to work. and he's just an absolute pleasure and creates such a family kind of atmosphere on set. and he sees you, which is nice, which is rare. >> does everyone have nicknames on set? >> no nicknames. for me -- you can call me whatever you want as long as you spell my name right on the check. >> your favorite nickname. >> my family calls me nikki. >> interesting. is that based off anything? >> my middle name is monique. and from birth, a lot of people could not say gabrielle, so it became monikki. >> so in this movie, you're not the other woman -- >> i would be the fiancee. >> how does that work for you? >> well, you know, it kind of starts out where we're sort of

like those great people on paper. you know, we're the resume people. perfect job, perfect family, great friends. and when we come together, it should be magic. and it's not quite there. we kind of have gotten very monotonous, it's a bit boring. we reach a crossroads. do we move ahead with our wedding as planned, or do we kind of reevaluate and maybe figure out what our own hopes and dreams and aspirations are and follow those? so that's -- and enter thandy newton. >> right. >> off the screen, you have sort of a resume couple thing going on in your own life with dwyane wade. what's that life? >> you know, he's great. he's such a sweet, thoughtful person. perfect example, you know, he sends me a very thoughtful, amazing valentine's day gift. i'm thinking that's it. i'm happy. i'm super grateful. and then the next day he sends me two dozen roses on february 16th. >> you never think of sweet and soft and romantic in such a big

package. >> no. >> i don't want to start any trouble at home. >> uh-oh. >> does he know that you have a little linsanity going? >> he is very aware of my linsanity. i am obsessed with jeremy lin. i'm obsessed with the story. for everyone who's ever been counted out or underestimated, he is the perfect example of, you know, when people say oh, you're just lucky. but that's really just when opportunity and preparedness come together. and when he got that opportunity, this man was so prepared. once he got up off the couch that he was staying on. he was very prepared. >> how do you prepare for the opportunities that come your way? >> you know what? i work with a coach. i work in the gym. you know. >> a lot. >> a lot. with high definition, you always have to kind of stay ready. they say stay ready so you don't have to get ready. that's kind of my motto. i always try to keep sharp. i always try to stay in shape. but part of what we do is an examination of human nature and people. so i try to be as social as possible.

you know, some people kind of become hermits, and i'm the absolute opposite. i want to be around as many people as possible and kind of take in, you know, different people's personalities and essence. >> one last question. if you could have coffee with anybody, who would it somebody >> ooh, with any of my girlfriends. i have great friends. i have absolutely great girlfriends. ali, essence adkins, lee, regina hall. more like margaritas. early-morning margaritas. >> we love it. >> that's a great place to be when you want to have coffee with the people you want to have coffee with, more than anybody. >> gabrielle union, thanks so much for being with us. we really appreciate it. and "good deeds" just opened nationwide. next, chicago's master chef graham elliott is here to make his ultimate dish. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." this "morning coffee"

geb's. in addition to rebecca, he's also cooked for the president and oprah and his show on fox. at 27, he became the youngest four-star chef ever to be named in a major u.s. city. so good morning. >> good morning. thank you. >> thanks for being with us. >> why aren't you wearing your stars? >> oh, please. let me say, cooking for president obama was nowhere as cool as cooking for you. >> you're welcome back here anytime. what did you bring for us today? >> our main dish is our play on beef stroganoff. taking it into consideration that it's an american classic, it's something that i was raised on, my mom cooked all the time. but we redid it. so instead of egg noodles, we have spaetzle. and that's kind of tossed with a little mushrooms and pickled shallot topped with the braised beef shortrib as well as a little mushroom puree and peppered sour cream. >> totally delicious. >> thank you. >> i have to say. and then you have the salad which is a deconstructed caesar. >> right.

>> how does one deconstruct a caesar? >> the idea of deconstruction is to take something again that everybody understands, break it down into its individual parts and kind of showcase each ingredient individually. with this, you've got the little heart of romaine tossed in the dressing, then rolled in the parmesan fluff. and the main component is the brioche twinkie. we take brioche, saute it in butter and then fill it with a parmesan mascarpone. you get creaminess. >> your food is very playful, in general. >> absolutely. we try to have a nice sense of humor with what we do. in real life, fine dining or cuisine in general should be something that's expressive and creative and also a little whiz c whimsical. right here on the side, this little dish is our cheddar risotto. it's got a lot of parmesan, things like that. what we did is based it on a road trip through wisconsin. you've got cheeses for the car

ride, cheddar cheese, apples, bacon powder and, you know, some pearl onions that have been braised in pbr. >> i'm glad you brought this and not a cheesehead. you also brought rice krispy treats. >> right, but these are spiced krispy treats. cooking it traditionally same way starting with brown butter and finishing with a little sea salt, nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, allspice, some of those fall baking spices. >> it's great. >> it's funny because it's so sophisticated, yet it keeps harkenning back to blue collar. >> yes. and it's being able to find something that everyone understands, reinterpret it in your own way and see food and cooking as an artistic outlet. >> your dad was in the navy. you moved around a lot as a kid. how much of what we're having and what you cook in general is inspired by that and seeing so many different cultures along the way? >> yeah, i've been lucky enough to have lived in the philippines and hawaii, i've been to all 50

states. i think you take all of those experiences just like if you were into painting or music or any other creative outlet and apply that to the food we do. these dishes are a little more comforting. and again based on some of those dishes that i had growing up. >> so we ask all our chefs, what is the one ingredient in your kitchen you can't live without? >> that would be fleur de sel, sea salt. it dries in the sun. they take the top part. not only does it help bring everything out, i always say salt is like a magnifying glass. you put it on a tomato, it makes it taste that much more like a tomato. so many of the minerals found in the ocean itself. it's an amazing thing to work with. >> if you could have this meal with anybody in the world you could choose, and i'm cutting rebecca out, who would it be? >> the person i always wished i could cook for was my late grandfather, frannie tippett. i think he would have gotten a

kick out of it. >> we enjoy what you do and we'd love to have you sign our dish which is a tradition here on "cbs this morning." i love it. is this going to be a hand turkey? >> no, it's not. >> i actually heard somewhere that with sumo wrestling that what they would do is put their hand in the ink and then put it down. that's kind of the signature. >> our sumo wrestler chef, chef graham elliott. >> thanks, guys. >> it was great. thanks. >> you can find chef elliott's recipes at cbs news.com/cbsthismorning. coming up next, they are back from their first world tour," cirque dreams jungle fantasy" joins us live here in our studio. >> it's a performance you'll see only here on "cbs this morning saturday." we'll be right back.
