she wanted to do things that matter. she is. and she's tackling an issue that's close to her heart. >> and close to your heart. >> it is. >> we begin with the latest round of devastating tornadoes to strike the midwest and the south. dozens are dead. the destruction is mind-boggling. correspondent elaine kehano is live in henriville, indiana. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. at least 28 people are dead in kentucky, indiana and ohio. 14 of them here in indiana alone. state police here tell me it has been a painstaking process searching for the missing. they say the death toll is likely to rise. the storms barrelled through henryville, indiana, with a violence that shocked even vetean emergency workers like state police sergeant jerry gooden. >> it happened all of the

sudden. we knew it was a possibility and we were trying to prepare. you can't prepare for this. there is no way you can prepare for something like this happening. >> reporter: the storms ripped the roof off the high school. all the students inside escaped unhurt. but there are people missing and without power or cell service or land lines. finding them is not easy. family members are coming to this canadlcandlelit church bas to add loved ones to the list of unaccounted for. in west liberty, kentucky, four people were killed. the national guard was sent to assess the damage and assist with the cleanup of the destroyed downtown. back in henryville, tony yates is thankful to have his 6-year-old daughter at his side. she was on a bus when the storms hit. >> it broke to pieces. the wheels came off. >> reporter: you were supposed to be on that bus? >> she was on it.

>> reporter: you were on the bus? >> yeah. i had to walk. and the whole school fell down. >> reporter: officials tell me that law enforcement personnel spent last night searching hundreds of miles of county roads, dark county roads. it's been very difficult. there is no power, no phone service, no internet or blackberry service. many communities in this rural area have simply been cut off. rebecca and j.b.? >> unbelievable destruction. thank you, elaine. we appreciate the report. >> joining us is reid timer. he's been in the middle of the massive and destructive storm system. he startededed in easton, missouri, yesterday and tracked the cells through kentucky where he joins us now. good morning. how are you, buddy? >> i'm doing well. a little bit tired. it was a long chase yesterday. >> tired is understandable. while most other people are

running for cover, you are chasing in the middle of ing thinks. i understand you ran out of gas on the side of the road. what's it like to be this close to danger? >> well, storm chasing is actually pretty safe. we know what we're doing. we know what the storms are doing visually. i have been doing this 14 years now. we're out there to try to help out the warning process the best we can to keep people warned in the path of the storms. we're out there to do research. >> speaking of research, and we know how serious and destructive the storms are. there is no question you are not only a veteran chaser of the storms but also a meteorologist. how does the system compare with those you have seen in the past? >> well, this is definitely one of the prolific tornado outbreaks that don't happen often. they are a statistical anomaly. last year in april we had the april 15 outbreak in dixie

alley. there were stronger tornadoes and it was even worse. this year seems to be starting on the same note. we had a widespread outbreak with around 100 tornadoes. it's early in the year for that as well, but it's not unheard of. in 1925, march 18 was the tristate tornado outbreak, one of the biggest outbreaks in history. they are usually significant. >> we have about 30 seconds remaining. what are you looking for specifically? >> well, normally when we storm chase we have an armoreded vehicle that we intercept tornadoes directly and record data inside. we're trying to get a 3-d x-ray of the variables within a tornado. we don't have the instruments ready this year. yesterday we were just out there with the main mission to call and report if we saw tornadoes. we'd call the national weather

service, call local media and try to keep people warned. these are fast-moving storms. yesterday they were 60 to 80 miles an hour. they are extremely rapid. >> you're putting yourself in harm's way for the benefit of all of us. like a parent would tell you, be careful. thank you, reid. >> now to hard hit alabama where mark straussman has the latest from new market. good morning, mark. >> reporter: good morning. take a look at what's left of this house. it's one of 200 homes in north alabama that were damaged or destroyed by six different tornadoes yesterday. remarkably, no one here was killed. this is going to be a busy weekend for storm victims and insurance adjustors. for much of friday, people in madison county stared at a black horizon of menace. funnel clouds like this one in new market, alabama, createded ripples of ruin.

>> they said it was coming this way. i didn't know it was going to be as bad as it was. things turned bad fast. >> reporter: 30 people huddled inside a concrete bunker waiting for the storm to pass. a super cell in the morning left destruction in north alabama that ran 20 miles long and three miles wide. a likely tornado knocked down the roofs of two dormitories at the limestone correctional facility, a maximum security state prison near huntsville. no one was hurt and no one tried to escape. 300 inmates moved to temporary housing. inside buckhorn high school, this cell phone video showed students cowering in the hallway. the roof of the science wing blew off. >> we had property and structural damage. 1,300 children. somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 employees left here unscathed. >> reporter: the same violent storm turned northeast to chattanooga. 20 homes were ripped off

foundations. at least eight people were hurt. in tennessee and alabama forecasters warned for three days that storms were likely. but no amount of followed an almost identical path as the storm last april. >> hard to imagine. mark straussman in new market, alabama. thank you. >> bp has greed to settle billions in lawsuits by those affected by the gulf oil spill two years ago. the agreement was reached last night. correspondent dave router reports. >> reporter: the biggest offshore oil spill in history has created one of the biggest settlements in history. the massive 2010 blowout and explosion at the "deepwater horizon" rig off the louisiana

coast killed 11 and spilled more than 200 million gallons of oil spo the gulf of mexico. bp says it is not admitting it was at fault, but the settlement has no cap on damages. the company estimates it could pay $7.8 billion to those who sued on top of $8 billion it's already paid out from a $20 billion fund it set aside for losses from the disaster. what the settlement doesn't cover is claims by government agencies or claims between bp, the operator of the rig, transocean, or other companies including those that built and installed the device that was supposed to prevent blowouts but didn't. they are suing and blaming each other. those cases will continue. so far, the lawyers say, they have examined more than 72 million pages of documents and taken testimony from 300 witnesses and the trials haven't begun yet. cbs news, new york. now to politics where the

question of contraceptive insurance coverage has ramped up the intensity of the debate in the election campaign and the ever provocative rush limbaugh is right in the middle of things. nancy cortes is live in washington. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. the president is now in the middle of things as well. it appears neither side is about to let the issue of contraception go. >> contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school. >> reporter: it was sandra fluke's testimony in favor of contraception coverage that prompted radio host rush limbaugh to lash out several times this week. >> it makes her a slut, right? it makes her a prostitute. she wants to be paid to have sex. >> reporter: the crude comments surprised this 30-year-old georgetown law student and appeared to touch a nerve with president obama who called fluke from the oval office on friday.

what did the president say to you? >> he expressed his support for me and wanted to express concern and make sure i was okay. >> reporter: limbaugh said he was just being provocative -- his stock and trade. >> if anybody doesn't realize we are illustrating absurdity here by being absurd and that is the trademark of the program. >> reporter: he got to argument from rick santorum. >> he's being absurd. an entertainer can be absurd. >> reporter: why did the president feel the need to weigh in? it's an election year and the white house senses a winning issue. 64% of those all important independent women voters believe employers, even religious institutions should be required to cover contraceptives. still, house republicans are working on a bill to overturn the president's new rule on contraception coverage after a senate measure to overturn it failed this week. do you worry that passing similar legislation in the house would create a backlash against

rpublicans by women voters? >> i think the american people are concerned about the government's infringement on religious liberty. >> reporter: boehner and several other leaders denounced limbaugh's comments. as one conservative put it, sometimes limbaugh helps us win debates. sometimes he helps us lose them. guess which one this is. >> thanks, nancy. for more on this and the run-up to the big super tuesday primary just three days away, let's go back to washington and john dickerson. great to have you with us. good morning. >> good morning. >> how are limbaugh's comments going to play with the gop? is it going to be a problem for them? >> in terms of the republican primary, it probably won't. the republicans -- nobody will bring it up within the republican contest. in fact, it will hurt them more if they lash out against rush limbaugh which is why mitt romney only said about the remarks that they weren't words he would have chosen which is a

timid response. in the general election contest if it bubbles up again there is a chance it might come back and be a problem for republicans. it has to come up organically or through a piece of legislation for the debate about the question of contraception to be a problem for republicans. >> that seems likely, john, that it would be a part of the debate and with female voters which seem to be generally in favor of this, according to nancy's report, it could be an issue in the general election. >> absolutely. the question is whether -- how it comes up. if there is more legislation like what was discussed here, it's organic. the president took his moment, seized the moment here as a political move to take advantage of this. imagine several months from now, if it's not coming up, the president would have to talk about it to beat up on the republican candidate. that's possible when it's talked about in terms of contraception. remember several weeks ago it was discussed in terms of

religious liberty. the white house was on the defensive. it's tricky here and anybody who brings it up out of context can be accused or independent voter wills say, why are you talking about this issue when we have the economy and other things to talk about. >> feeling like it's politics again, that they are playing games. i want to talk about gop contenders going into super tuesday. mitt romney has won michigan and arizona. it was a tight race and it's looking tight going into the polls for ohio as well as the washington caucuses today. what do you think is going to happen here? >> the washington caucuses are interesting, hard to poll. anything could happen here. we have seen in the race if you win one contest it doesn't necessarily mean you will win the next one. it will be interesting to see what happens in washington. ohio is the biggest state on super tuesday. you have ten states competing across the country. it's a big state. it's a swing state in the general election and one in which there is a test between

mitt romney and those who are -- rick santorum and newt gingrich. it's a test of whether mitt romney can put together a coalition and make himself the nominee. >> plus, you have a third of voters who say they are open to thinking differently about this come election day. what does that say about the candidates they have before them? >> we have seen it in lots of states. voters are sloshing all over the place running from one character to another. polls have shown over ten different people have been at the top of the polls. it shows an unsettled field. we saw in michigan that there is a real split between those people who want to elect somebody who they think can beat barack obama. that's mitt romney. or someone who shares their values who is a true conservative, as voters say. in michigan that was rick santorum. previously it's been newt gingrich and even before that it was herman cain can. >> we appreciate it. >> thanks. >> now to cbs news correspondent and morning news anchor betty

nguyen. >> good morning, james. welcome to the team. good morning to you. initial results this morning from iran's parliamentary election showed a trend and it's one the united states and other western countries may not like. hard liners are winning more states meaning tehran is likely to take a tougher stance over the nuclear program. correspondent elizabeth palmer is in tehran with the details this morning. >> reporter: results are still coming in from the iranian election, but it does appear as if the new parliament will be dominated by religious conservatives, followers of iran's supreme leader. the regime needed a strong showing in the election to legitimize the anti-western stance. it said it did get it with more than 60% of voters casting a ballot. though the reformists called for a but boycott claiming they were virtually eliminated from the race. those who did vote and those who

didn't are worried about the effect of u.s.-led sanctions which are slowly choking iran's economy. to reverse sanctions iran's government would have to seek negotiations and a compromise on the nuclear program. that looked unlikely before and now that the parliament is going to be dominated by religious hard liners it looks virtually impossible. elizabeth palmer, cbs this morning saturday, tehran. >> in arizona, police in the phoenix suburb of tempeh are looking for two men who shot 13 people in a nightclub overnight. the motive for the shooting is unclear. it happened during a rap concert. the club has a history of trouble. the funeral for daniel parmitor is set for today. he was one of three students shot at an ohio high school this week.

classes resumed at chardon high. teachers and students spent the day talking about the shooting. t.j. lane, another student, has been charged in the killings. it's about 20 minutes past the hour. let's go to lonnie quinn for a look at the weather and the path of the devastating storms. >> what a day we had yesterday. let's take a look at what i see today in terms of tornadoes. today's concern for the southeast although in terms of tornadoes it should not be as numerous as what we saw yesterday and here's why. plain and simple, first, we are running out of real estate. this is the culprit. later today this front will be in the atlantic ocean. good riddance to it. we want to talk about the temperature clash. yesterday on one side of the front, nashville at 82. chicago, 40. today, atlanta will be 64 and nashville about 58. you don't see the big spread. you will have strong storms from places like tallahassee, macon,

greenville, a slight chance of tornados. that's a look at the national picture. make it a great day wherever you are. j.b., welcome to the team dog-gone it. over to you. >> thanks, lonnie. it's a big step in the life of a british royal, the opportunity to represent the queen herself. now prince harry is getting his chance. >> this is the 60th year of the queen east reign, her diamond jubilee. >> we get more from charlie d'agata in london. how is he doing? >> prince harry long ago shed

the reputation as a party prince. he's now a respected army pilot and a representative of the royal family. that doesn't mean he can't have fun, all in the line of duty. belize was the first stop in prince harry's tour on behalf of queen elizabeth. he's visiting her realms in honor of her 60-year reign. >> i bring you the warmest greetings from the queen. i'm sorry you're stuck with me. >> reporter: the prince's private secretary said harry would bring his own brand of enthusiasm to his tour of central america and the caribbean. it's a role he embraces with gusto. >> from the noisy corner here -- a bit more noise on this side, please. >> reporter: there is a serious side to the fun. his job is to make the boss look good, drumming up support for his grandmother, the queen. >> your majesty, you are an inspiration to us all. therefore it remains for me to

name this street her majesty queen elizabeth ii boulevard. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> reporter: the last part was creole for "let the party begin," so it did with the prince knocking back cocktails, dancing in the streets and generally delighting the locals. >> i'm speechless. i don't even want to wash my hands! >> reporter: prince harry will be shaking more hands. he'll head to the bahamas and jamaica and will line up on the starting blocks against the fastest man in the world, usain bolt. >> we have lots more to come. we'll be right back. ♪

spying on his roommate who later committed suicide. the mystery man is called m.b. and nothing of what he said was recorded. no photographs were allowed. "48 hours" correspondent and lawyer erin moriarty was there. >> i had to be in the courtroom in order to see him. the trial has been unusual on many levels. the defendant is accused of using a camera to commit a hate crime. that's not typical. there is an unusually amount of evidence in the form of e-mails, texts and instant messages. yesterday, another surprise when the crucial witness for the prosecution took the stand. >> m.b., please. >> reporter: the audio in the courtroom was shut off as the witness known as m.b. took the stand in the trial of ravi, accused of setting up a web cam to spy on his freshman roommate

tyler clementi during a sexual encounter with m.b. two days after clementi discovered he was spied on he jumped off the george washington bridge, committing suicide. in court m.b. was protected like an alleged victim of a sex crime. only his hands were photographed. the witness, dressed neatly in a blue and white striped shirt, appeared to be in his late 20s or early 30s. he testified he met tyler online and visited the student in his dorm room three times. during the second visit on september 19, he said, quote, while we were intimate together on the bed, i glanced over my shoulder and noted a web cam that was faced toward the direction of the bed and i thought it was just kind of strange. being in a compromising position and seeing a camera lens just kind of stuck out, he said. when he left the room he noticed a group of about five students.

i definitely got the impression that they were looking at me, he said. and told the court he found it, quote, unsettling. >> someone hid a camera in a place that you expected to be private. they took a video of you and then showed it to other people. how would you feel? >> reporter: the witness said he met ravi when he first came to the dorm that day and that the defendant returned briefly, he said, to shuffle some things on his desk. prosecutors accused ravi of photographing the sexual encounter because of a bias against gays but the defense says the defendant, concerned about an older stranger in his room was just trying to protect his belongings. >> erin joins us now. you were in the courtroom yesterday. >> that's the only way to see him. it was important to see him. almost more important to see him than here him. ravi is charged with invasion of privacy which in new jersey means he was trying to view a

sex act or photograph a sex act. the defense says that's not the reason at all. he saw this older guy come in with his roommate and he was worried about his belongings. he described the guy as sketchy. another guy described him as creepy, so his appearance is important. >> the older guy is m.b., the anonymous witness. >> yes. m.b. appears to be ten years older than these guys. definitely 29, 30 years of age. at least on the stand he didn't look sketchy. he had nicely, close cropped hair, dressed nicely. decide whether it was credible that an 18 is-year-old could have looked at this guy and said, i'm worried about my belongings in my room. >> what was your sense being there? >> well it was incredibly sad. this guy, one of the important reasons the prosecution wanted him there is tyler can't testify. he committed suicide.

if tyler was a victim, he was a victim, too. he was treated like a victim in the courtroom. we aren't allowed to use his name, only m.b. he was asked to talk about some very private moments that he had with tyler clementi. it was moving in the sense that it was very difficult for him to talk in court. >> you're suggesting he got emotional in the courtroom? >> no. actually, i thought he was amazingly level. but to have to talk about this very private thing in front of strangers when he said that he was uncomfortable in the dorm, saw kids looking at him. how much worse then to have to talk about this in a courtroom packed with reporters who wanted to see him? >> it is a public space though it's not shared with everyone. do you think m.b.'s testimony will be more helpful to the defense or prosecution? >> it's really interesting. yes, of course it helped the prosecution. but the defense was very

effective in the cross-examination saying if you really want to have a private moment with tyler why would you choose to meet him in a crowded dorm when there are students up all hours who clearly saw him go in and go out. i thought the defense was effective in that. >> thank you, erin. "48 hours correspondent" and attorney. now to lonnie for another check of the weather. >> good morning. want to get to the weather headlines. it's been a volatile start to march. obviously referring to the tornadoes in the mid section. tornadoes are much more common later in the month of march than in the beginning of the month of march. on average for the entire country, the entire month of march -- there's your number. 72 for the month. yesterday alone we had 80 reported tornados. this is just a crazy outbreak for this time of year. let me show you what we see on the satellite and radar.

this is the culprit. the cold front making a push through the area. it's clear to the northeast. clearing skies in the afternoon hours. the southeast is at risk from tallahassee to fayetteville. you are under a risk of tornadoes. the big risk will be severe thunderstorms. tornadoes won't be as prevalent as necessary. all right, everybody. on the flip side of the coin, the west coast looks great out there. all right, j.b., over to you. >> thank you, lonnie. up next, the dangerous traps of tapping into your 401(k). you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."

you really can't forget about the cha-ching these days. this morning, tapping into your 401(k) in a tough economy. a lot of people are scrambling for cash. hr professionals say the number of workers dipping into requirement sponsored savings plan is skyrocketing. >> if you are thinking of doing it, beware. cbs news financial contributor and author of "the real cost of living" carmen wong ulrich has some of the real pitfalls we are talking about here. >> good morning. >> good morning. this is a question a lot of people are trying to figure out. to ever dip into the 401(k). when is it appropriate? is it ever appropriate? >> can i say never? here's what i wish and i hope that was the case. here's the thing. if the irs protects your 401(k) in bankruptcy court, even in bankruptcy you don't have to give up your 401(k). that shows you how important and

vital it is to your planning and financial future. remember, this is not an asset like the cash that you have in the bank. this is something that's a long-term commitment. i advise folks not to dip in there. if you do before 59 1/2, you know you will lose up to 50% in penalties, fees and taxes. it's not worth it. if you're going to do it, make sure you do it for the right reasons and the right way. >> we know this is a challenging economy right now. some say, hey, it's a hardship for me. what qualifies as a hardship case? >> you want to file a hardship withdrawal. this allows you to have access to the money if you qualify for less in terms of penalties and fees. it will be taxed as income. you lose 10% in penalties. but you need medical expenses, medical debt is a big concern for americans, to prevent the foreclosure on your home or if there is weather damage, natural disaster damage. this allows you to take money

out and keep more than you would if you had to cash out the whole thing. >> and this is a nest egg as retirement, but what are the pros and cons if you dip in? >> you will lose half the money. make sure it's a hardship withdrawal. but there are alternatives. i would rather you use a balance transfer check or borrow on a private loan especially if you have no debt than go into your 401(k). in the end you will pay less interest. say you take out a 401(k) loan. i get asked all the time. oh, the interest is low. it's not just an interest play. this is about happens if you lose your job? the job market is shaky. you will have to pay the loan back in 30 to 60 days. i have seen it happen. guess what happens. you don't have a job. how much does a new loan cost you in 19 to 20%. >> i want to talk about the balance transfer check. there are probably people given the tornadoes who are looking at the 401(k) as something they may

need to tap. >> we know there's been more balance transfer offers. if you have great credit take $10,000 on a balance transfer at 0% interest for 12 months, even if it goes up to 15 than if you possibly lose a job, take out a loan and pay 19% to 29% to get another loan to make up for the 401(k) loan. you will lose 30% to 50% of that money. this is your long-term commitment. >> knowing that this is tied to the market, what if the 401(k) is tanking? more incentive to tap into it? >> it's basically a tax tool that lets you put money away tax-free. it's about where your money goes inside the ho401(k). if you see it tanking the problem is where the money is invested. sit with your provider, get a session with a financial planner for advice to assuage your fears. >> carmen, thank you.

to the brain. >> these are carbs you think would be worthy of eating at some point in the day before bed. when you talk about eating these, what time frame are you working with before bed? >> about a half an hour before bed. >> really? >> 30 grams of carbohydrates, so three cups of popcorn. not so many pretzels as we have there. and half a cup of the rice pudding. that's a snack i use before bed. >> for many of us who have been on a perennial diet. i have been on it for 15 years now. you can eat foods to help you go to sleep. will it help in weight reduction? >> you have to be careful and that's a great question. about the200 calories for these snacks. that goes into labels and portion sizes. don't head off to snooze land and gain weight. >> 200 calories. that's my problem. >> you have drinks and one is one i found a surprise. the cherry juice.

you're looking at a live picture of nashville, tennessee. tennessee is a state hit hard by the tornadoes. we'll have more on the tornadoes' destruction, their path coming up. welcome to "cbs this morning saturday." i'm rebecca jarvis. >> i'm james brown. >> they both became instant sports celebrities, both are religious and we'll look at the growing friendship between denver broncos quarterback tim tebow and new york knicks phenom jeremy lin. >> a natural pairing for sure. and i sat down with academy award winner reese witherspoon. we talked about her movies, her kids and mostly about a subject close to her heart. it's a troubling issue that's

had a profound effect on her life. >> first our top story this morning. it is one that's still developing. at least 29 people are dead after a swarm of tornadoes struck the midwest and parts of the south in the past 24 hours. we have two live reports now beginning with our correspondent. what do authorities hope to accomplish first and are they searching for victims this morning? >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. yes, absolutely. the search is the top priority. looking for the missing has not been easy given the conditions and the aftermath of the devastating storms. everywhere you look it's piles of debris. right now there is no power in henryville as well as the surrounding communities. spotty cell phone service. law enforcement personnel were fanned out across the county trying to search in the dark.

hundreds of miles of county roads trying to account for the missing. many communities in this rural area are simply cut off. i should tell you also about two minutes or so ago i talked to major chuck adams at the sheriff's office. he said they actually are being deluged with volunteers coming in, trying to help. he said it's causing more problems than it's solving right now. he's asking the volunteers please to stay aaway and not to call the sheriff's office. it is hintering their efforts. they want to get the missing accounted for and eventually get people back in this affected areas to allow them to try to start the process of salvaging their belongings and their lives. >> helpful information. that's a difficult task ahead. we wish them the best and appreciate your report. >> tornadoes struck hard in alabama. correspondent mark straussman is

in new market this morning. good morning, mark. the question is how bad was it and what's being done to recover? >> good morning, j.b. it's colder but calmer here. a chance for storm victims to get into what's left of their houses to salvage what they can. the house behind me has been in the same family for more than a hundred years. a 66-year-old grandmother lived here alone. late last night some family members were pulling out a bedroom set and also some family records dating back to 1822. she's going to live with her daughter now because the house is gone. about 200 homes in the area were damaged or destroyed along with a state prison and the roof of a high school here. all of that has to be cleaned up, rebuilt and that starts today. what will not happen today, and this i good news, is there is no search for victims. no one is planning for a funeral. remarkably no one was killed.

more than one storm victim told me they are truly thankful for that. >> indeed. mark thank you very much. now for the rest of the headlines we turn to cbs news correspondent and morning news anchor betty nguyen. >> good morning to you. the red cross is pleading with syria's government to honor its agreement and allow the delivery of desperately needed aid to civilians in homs. syrian forces continue to shell parts of the city today. amateur video posted online appears to show rebels firing at syrian forces in other cities this morning. syria's state-run news agency reports a car bombing in the city that kildow as many as seven people. in afghanistan, sources say at least five military personnel could face a disciplinary review over the burning of the muslim holy book the koran. the incident last month sparked days of deadly riots around the country. and anti-american protests have

spread to neighboring pakistan. a thousand protesters marched through kurachi on friday denouncing the u.s. as an enemy of islam. russians go to the polls tomorrow to pick their next president. vladimir putin who held the office before wants his old job back. he's expected to win. but many russians believe parliamentary elections last year were rigged in putin's favor. they vow to keep an eye on the ballot boxes this time around. in italy, an evidence hearing opened today into the costa concordia shipwreck. hundreds attended including lawyers, passengers and crew members. the cruise ship ran aground and capsized off the italian coast in january. 32 people died. more are missing. and finally the nfl says the new orleans saints violated the league's bounty rule and may face stiff fines. a league investigation found as many as 27 saints defensive players contributed thousands of

dollars to a bounty pool. the bounties were paid to those who hurt opponents, hitting them hard enough to knock them out of the game. time now to check the weather with lonnie quinn. good morning. >> good morning, betty. good morning, everybody. in the weather world, we are still buzzing about yesterday's tornado outbreak. i want to look ahead to quickly recap. in terms of yesterday's tornadoes we had more tornadoes in one day than we typically see for the month of march. 80 reported tornadoes just yesterday. typically march picks up 72. pretty much unheard of stuff. what do we see today? the front is out there clearing the northeast. by the time you get to the afternoon hours, new york city could see sunshine. then you look at the southeast. anywhere from the north carolina, south carolina border down to the panhandle of florida. ta tall ha see, greenville. even a tornado passabossible bu risk less than yesterday.

>> announcer: this weather segment sponsored by v-8 v fusion juice. could have had a v-8. >> the best news is the tornado-ravaged ohio and tennessee valleys, a much calmer day today. back to you. >> nice to see the calm after the storm. all right. sex sells and sex sells jeans. remember this commercial? >> you want to know what comes between me and my calvins? nothing. ♪ >> that ad with a very young brooke shields in 1980 sparked a heated controversy and levy's

has stirred it up dpen. the curves jeans are supposed to be for women of every shape and size but the ads only feature super skinny supermodels. >> joining us are jim cooper of ad week magazine and psychologist dr. jennifer hartstein, author of "princess recovery" which helps young girls accept who they are. good morning. >> good morning. >> are the ad companies being hypocritical saying the jeans ae for women of all sizes but we only see the thin stick models? >> they are being off mark here. women come in all sorts of sizes and these jeans only having the skinny models in the ads is really hypocriticahypocritical. >> to be fair, the skinny women are not just in these ads. they are in every ad. how does that play into women's self-esteem and psychology?

>> it impacts how we look at ourselves. we compare ourselves as women, startsi starting as young girls on what's in the advertising and media. the message is in order to fit the model, so to speak you have to be and look a certain way. the average size of an american woman is size 14. that's not what we see in magazines and on television. >> there was an uproar when the ad ran that rebecca talked about but it's like, hey, so what, we're doing it again. is that because it sells and they are not concerned about young girls' attitudes? >> the jeans are selling well. this is a bait and switch on the part of levi's. the new ads, the models are still super skinny. there is thin, thin and thinner. i think levi is doing a disservice to the customers in trying to fool women. >> i read some place that the most curvy thing in the ad was the women's ponytails.

the other part of that is the idea of the jeans is fabulous. embrace your curves, do what you need to do to feel good in your jeans but it doesn't carry over to the advertising part. it really is a mixed message again that we are giving to women and girls. >> just to clarify, levi came out with the ads in 2010 and marketed it as a size thing. no matter what size you are, you will look good. now they say it is about curves, not size. they are not looking at particular models of different sizes. they are happy to stick to the original size models but they want to market it as a curvy thing and you say they are still selling. >> they are. jeans are an emotional purchase for women. they spend almost 100 hours per pair of jeans doing the research, talking to friends. but women do come in all different sizes. curves or no curves. height or no height. >> they still continue to

respond positively to the stick thin image in terms of spending. >> not -- but these ads are offensive to many women and the blogosphere has blown up. that's the one thing levi and other marketers have to understand. as soon as they make an ad like this the blowback can be intense online. if you go to twitter and any sort of mommy blogger site they are getting flamed. >> they are. the thing is that the real issue is there is this dialogue online of where are we as the real women, whatever that might be, where are we represented. we were saying this is a great opportunity. levi could have said, hey, real women, come to this american jean company, let us show everybody what you are. i'm sorry. but what curves are we seeing if we are using stick thin people? they aren't curvy. whether or not we are switching to the idea of curves or not, there isn't a curve. let's go back to the idea of

real women have curves. we want to see what it looks like. levi's had the opportunity to promote that in a really, accepting, loving yourself way. >> now what do you think women should be doing when looking at the images? >> from young girls to women we have to look at what's attainable. what is it about ourselves that's beautiful, that we can love and how do we promote and embrace that more rather than basing it on ab an idea that the fashion industry or the media puts out there. how do we love ourselves and what we have to offer? >> this is editorializing but i hope there will be a change for the young ladies out there who ought to have good strong self-esteem. >> thank you. >> thanks. >> up next, a friendship of faith. two high profile sports phenoms share strong christian beliefs. we'll talk to jeremy lin's chaplain about his friendship with tim tebow. ♪

two high profile athletes are developing a close friendship. denver broncos quarterback tim tebow and the new york knicks jeremy lin. they are profoundly religious, as we know, and their faith is bringing them together. >> joining us are lin's spiritual mentor and chaplain adrian tan and greg anthony, a cbs sports analyst and former college nba star. >> still in great shape. chaplain, how did this relationship start between jeremy lin and tim tebow? >> i had some connections that knew tim. i offered to connect jeremy to him. when i texted him he said, o we already did connect. he's a great guy. i looked up to him. really learning a lot. >> put a face on jeremy lin. you have been his spiritual

adviser. certainly you were while he was at harvard and it continues now. talk about how he's handled the mega attention he's getting. >> he's handled it very well. i'm proud of him. i think the key thing is we look at jeremy and think he's a star. we cheer for him, linsanity, linsanity. he says actually jesus is the star. so because of that the focus isn't on him. he can focus on others just as jesus did. he can love others and focus on giving credit to god and abiding in him. >> greg, how similar do you think jeremy lin and tim tebow are religiously and as human beings and as players? >> there are similarities. there is more attention brought to them because of their faith. and often times, they are in positions where the expressions of their faith are captured. that, in and of itself, rightfully or wrongfully, can be somewhat polarizing externally. but not necessarily internally. we have discussed this ad

nauseam before. i don't think people appreciate the faith communion within athletics, whether it be professional or on the collegiate level. >> when you say internally, you mean in the locker room there is no issue. >> no. often times -- sports in a lot of ways is a trendsetter for society. it's very embracing. there is an openness to a team. we are not judgmental. we don't get caught up in ethnicity, religion, gender, those things. it's like a family. i have three kids. if all three of them are different, but i love them all equally. a team is similar to that. you don't have those issues. all teams have chaplains you can go to. whatever your domination is. you can discuss whatever issues because ultimately we get caught up in faith which is more about confidence and trust whether it's in a god, deity or doctrine. more importantly it's about trust and confidence within

yourself. that's why the vast majority of athletes have faith. >> why polarizing externally as greg mentioned? why outside the locker room, if you will? >> i think faith is something that's so important. you know, we can talk about all sorts of things in the public space. but we don't want to talk about things that are most dear to us, most intimate which is, like greg said, the faith within. it can be polarizing because it touches a nerve. i have been hearing stories of people thinking, oh, i have been hearing about jeremy and seeing his faith. maybe i should read the bible, check out what this is that's driving jeremy, what's so intimate for him. >> you're finding that happening? >> oh, yeah. i hear stories all over the place. >> when you hear from him, is he looking to you for advice on how to handle all of this and how to deal with so much public

pressure to be a great player and live up to his christian beliefs? >> i think he's moved on from looking up to me to asking me for support, asking me to pray for him. when i spoke to him on monday our conversation centered around how can i support him in prayer. how can i lift him up to god and how can the people around him be supporting him. >> in the locker room most players want to know, can you play. is that the case? >> is it is the case. that's what's important. you make a great point. it goes back to the confidence you have within. that allows you to deal with the pressures and adversity of being a professional athlete. >> thank you for being here. >> coming up next, don't let the rising cost of gas keep you home. we have four fantastic one-tank trips that are fun for the whole family. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." what's left behind?

if this isn't you then this is definitely your mother, your sister, a friend or someone you know very closely. >> how has it touched your heart? >> i have had several very personal experiences with domestic violence. a girlfriend of mine had a very violent situation in her life. i helped her through that. just to question on history or your family everyone would find abuse in their lives. >> the most surprising thing you came upon when embracing this campaign to be a spokesperson was what? >> probably that it doesn't matter how much money you have. it doesn't matter your class, your culture, your race. this affects people everywhere. i have been everywhere from japan to brazil to russia to right here in america. it's affecting women everywhere. it's just got to change. >> as you look at the population worldwide who is most at risk?

>> it's hard to say. it's so prevalent. it's everywhere. we look at celeb is ti culture. we see it happening all over the pages of the tabloids. domestic violence situations. i think it's up to us to create the change, to say this is wrong. we have to do something about it and to educate our sons and daughters about what's appropriate and not appropriate in the world. >> for witherspoon that includes her own two children. daughter ava and son deacon. witherspoon used the rihanna/chris brown controversy to teach her kids about the seriousness of domestic violence. >> i was telling my kids i was coming to washington, d.c. to the world conference of women's shelters. they wanted to know what that was about. i said, this is a group of thousands of people getting together. they all have domestic violence shelters. they are sharing information and ideas and how to best communicate that. communities need to help each other. >> the conference came just two days after this year's academy awards. a stark contrast for witherspoon and oscar winning actress.

>> and the break the silence award goes to -- >> reporter: who this time handed out awards to women making a difference in the battle against domestic violence. 1500 women from 96 countries were in attendance. you must be embraced by women glad to have you as an advocate. >> i didn't realize my role as an actor would lead me to a great opportunity to help people throughout the world. i was in korea and stopped by women who said they went to law school because of "legally blond." >> i love it. >> it's great moments like that that you feel, wow, you don't realize what a change you can effect just by creating positive role models. >> it's pink. >> oh, and it's scented. i think it gives it something extra. don't you think? >> you talked about battling the perceptions, becoming empowered as a woman in hollywood and enjoying tremendous success. was it a real serious battle on your part and do you feel you have helped create change in

that regard? >> i would say it's less of a struggle and more of a constant navigation to try and find roles that inspire me and hopefully inspire other people and make movies i enjoy. i hope to do that for other women. i hope if there is anything i can do within the span of my career is create opportunities for more female writers, female directors, actresses. i would love to do that. >> gosh, an actress, production company, global spokesperson and a mom. how do you maintain the balance so well? >> i'm a mom first. most working mothers would feel that way. it's a careful balance. any woman who has a full-time job and takes care of her kids knows it's a struggle. you can't attend every school performance. it breaks your heart. i also turn down movies sometimes because i can't be away from the kids at that time. there's a compromise there, a
