>> iran released the u.s. national sarah shourd. the other two americans are in detention. they were$w >> reporter: sarah shourd last seen in public in may when the mothers of all three american hikers traveled to iran to see their children let out of jail for a brief visit. >> i've been thinking about my mother's face and her smile and looking into her eyes for a really long time. >> reporter: shourd's mother made a special appeal for her daughter's release on medical grounds. >> precancerous condition and afraid she'll get cancer for real. >> reporter: on sunday the iranian prosecutor said she would be released for medical reasons f $500,000. her hiking companions are to remain in iran and says the iranian prosecutor face charges of spying. shourd's lawyer also told cbs

news that the bail was paid, $500,000. although he says that neither the family nor the u.s. government came up with the money. harry? >> elizabeth palmer in london this morning, thank you. erica? politics now. more primary elections held today around the country and tea party candidates hoping to upset more established republicans. cbs news congressional correspondent in washington this morning, nancy cordes. good morning. >> good morning. there's seven primaries and d.c. today and the one everyone is watching is dell care. it could determine whether republicans have a shot at taking control of the senate. >> reporter: it was a $250,000 pledge from the tea party express that bolted republican christine o'donnell from dark horse to contender in the delaware senate primary. >> it's a tidal wave coming in delaware. we are riding it. my opponent is drowning in it. >> reporter: everyone thought

her opponent should be a shoo-in. mike cast sl a popular nine-term congressman and former governor and the polls show her neck and neck. >> i think she is too extreme for delaware. >> reporter: she's crew saided against porn and writing once when a married person uses pornography, it compromises the spouse's purity. >> if she wins the primary election, she will have a difficult time winning in what's a very blue, democratic state. >> reporter: and that is why republican leaders putting all their muscle behind castle. >> she didn't pay thousands in income taxes. had to be sued by a university for thousands in unpaid bills. >> reporter: o'donnell is hoping to even the score with a late endorsement from sarah palin who's recording robo calls for her. >> christine will help usher in the real change that we need to get america on the right track. >> reporter: the stakes are so high in delaware because republicans must win the special

election for vice president biden's former seat to reclaim the senate with ten senate seats to do that and until recently the seat in delaware seemed like it was in the bag. >> but no longer. nancy cordes from washington, thanks. christine o'donnell joins us from wilmington, delaware. good morning. >> good morning, erica. thank you for having me. >> we heard from nancy, you have support of sarah palin at this point and the tea party express. but freedom works which is the group backed by dick armey backing a number of tea party candidates not given you support saying they see you as a weak candidate, don't believe you can win in a general election and nancy noted the polls showing you creeping up. why do you feel that you cannot only win here but also convince moderates and democrats to vote for you come november? >> you know, people didn't think that we would get this far in the primary either and i think that's a lazy way out to say that we can't win. we have a winning message that

after the primary we are going to take into the general election. a message that resonates with independents and democrats because the people struggling economically, it doesn't go by party line. our message is we need real economic growth based on the private sector. we need to create jobs getting the government out of the way of the small business owner. we can't afford more spending bills that my republican and democrat opponent support. common sense men and women here in delaware know that's not sustainable. and unfortunate because my opponent has -- he can't stand on his record so he's resorted to character assassination. the voters are tired of politics as usual. and they're rallying behind me because they trust me to represent them in washington, a much-needed real change in washington. >> there's been some focus on both your experience. you have never held an elected

office and question s raised about your financial history. took 12 years to get the degree because you didn't pay off the loans. leftover campaign debt. you mentioned the importance of finances and of the economy and of jobs. can voters trust you then someone who has had financial trouble? >> absolutely. erica, thank you for this opportunity to xleer clear the record. those accusations are addressed on my home page and you have to look at how i handled the financial difficulties. i'm an average, hard working american. i'm not a multimillionaire like my opponent. i worked hard, sacrificed, i made the decision that i needed to make things right. i came through to the other side in a very strong position. i made it through the difficult times. that's what the voters are seeing. financial responsibility is making your obligations right. my opponent cashed a government paycheck, a takes-funded

paycheck over four decades so when he makes the accusations of irresponsible because someone struggled, he's insulting the voters and i think that's where the backlash come from and why so many former people who once supported him on are my side because it's an obnoxious sense of settlement that the position handed to the next anointed king. >> i want to take a look at your support before we let you go. you have had endorsements from outside of the state of delaware. senator demint of south carolina. sarah palin. how much of your funding, though, how much of your volunteer staff from within the state of dell care and criticism too much is a national not a local level. >> oh, well, we have an army of volunteers giving us the strength we need to get the national attention. my opponent over about 70% of his donations come from out of state corporate special interests pacs. >> why do you feel that national attention is to important to

this race for the state of delaware? >> we are relying on the grass roots support. we are not a party apparatus. so when the -- when palin and demint and sean handty and others have come in and gotten behind our grass roots effort, it was a vote of confidence for we the people and against the politics of personal destruction. so what they were saying was, enough is enough. this election, the focus of this election should be how we'll get private sector jobs back in delaware, how to defend the security of our homeland, how we're going to take care of our veterans. when the national support came in, it was saying enough is enough. let's talk about the real issues. >> we have to leave it there. >> and the troops that have gotten us this far. thanks. >> the bay area gas explosion that killed at least four people is causing worries of gas pipelines. one safety expert says, quote, if this was anywhere travel we

were talking about i wouldn't get on an airplane. and the latest images from thursday's explosion show just how horrible it really was. at the scene in california with the latest, good morning. >> reporter: harry, good morning. that's right. we are getting the first look at some of the cell phone video and surveillance video of the blast that leveled the neighborhood on thursday evening and some of the images to see in a few second are jarring. pacific gas and electric, the company that owns the pipeline, pledged $100 million towards the recovery effort. but the residents here facing not just a financial toll but an emotional one, as well. new images are now emerging. cell phone video that captured the sudden, violent nightmare on the ground. >> i didn't want nobody to go through it. i thought it was an earthquake but it was worse. >> reporter: it looked like an earthquake from this surveillance video at a san bruno convenience store. customers fall to the ground.

some diving for cover. >> i opened the front door and saw that flame. that was it. >> reporter: residents of san bruno had little time to react. in an instant, at least four people died. and 37 homes were burned to the ground. >> i can't get that roaring sound out of my mind and that big boom and the sight of that enormous blast of fire. >> reporter: this security video from a gas station shows just how quickly things went from norm alto chaotic. flames begin to fill the screen. what can't be seen is what residents felt. >> the house is off the foundation because that explosion was tremendous. i mean, the house just went like that. >> reporter: federal officials are examining the section of pipe that ruptured an entrying to determine how many other lines around the country could be at risk of a similar explosion. here's an alarming number. there have been more than 3,000

gas pipeline accidents over the past 20 years. a third resulted in major injuries or in death. federal officials are so concerned the find out what happened here to see if there's steps to be taken throughout the country. harry? >> thank you. moments after the gas explosion, local resident walter mccaffrey started to shoot video of the flames and he joins us, as well, from san bruno. good morning, sir. >> good morning, harry. >> talk to me about what did you hear, what did you feel when this explosion happened? >> i was down stairs in my bedroom and getting ready to go to my mother-in-law's for dinner and i just heard this -- sounded like an aircraft taking off. and just the blast after that. and knocked me to the floor and i started running up to make sure my wife and kids were out there. they had already left maybe ten

minutes, 10, 15 minutes earlier so i was just running around the house to make sure they were out of the house and i started calling 911. i couldn't get through and i just trying to get a hold of my wife to make sure she doesn't come back for me. >> right. >> and that's when i saw -- that's when i ran out and i started taking video of the big fireball. >> could you feel the heat from the flames? this is just right outside your house, right? >> right. right. it wasn't even a minute and i couldn't even open my sliding door anymore to get out to the deck. >> because it was so hot? >> it was so hot. i couldn't get out because there was a couple ways to get out to my deck and i couldn't get out the deck because everything was just so hot. >> right. did you think you were -- >> when i finally got out -- >> were you trapped in your house? how did you finally escape? >> no. i wasn't. i actually ran out and i checked

on my neighbors. and i ran back in to get my dog and that's when i had to stop at the deck and when i started videotaping and you could probably hear me yelling for my dog on the footage. >> did you get your dog? >> yes. >> oh good. >> i got him out and fire crews were already out there maybe five minutes and they were already telling us to report to bernadi's. >> did you ever smell gas and give a second thought to the fact that there might be a natural gas pipeline right literally running right underneath your neighborhood? >> no. i never smelled gas. and -- i just thought really my initial thought it was a plane crash. even yelling down to my neighbors and asking them was

that a plane crash? it's when i got to my mother-in-law's i saw news reports that, you know, could be a gas line that blew up. >> right. you have a good story to tell and you're able to move back in your house. glad everybody in your household is safe and sound and walter mccaffrey, thank you for taking the time to speak with us this morning. we appreciate it. >> thank you, harry. >> be well. >> thank you. >> all right. >> quite a story of the video. we have more news this morning for you. jeff gore at the news story. good morning. >> good morning to you and everyone. the biggest wildfire in northern colorado fully contained this morning. the blazer in boulder burned 166 homes before being brought under control. a second smouler fire near loveland 25% contained though. the officials say the boulder fire started as a controlled burn. the man responsible is a firefighter who lost his own home to the wildfire. scientists say they know where a lot of oil from the bp spill went now.

interview with quarterback mark sanchez, she was reportedly the target of cat calls and rude comments. she tweeted in spanish, i'm so uncomfortable. i'm in a jets locker room waiting for mark sanchez and trying not to look around me. and a few moments later, i want to cover my ears. women reporting on the sidelines, and in locker rooms, is nothing new. but this incident is making for embarrassing headlines for both the jets and the nfl. >> this is both personally and professionally discouraging. >> reporter: cbs sports lesley visser, a member of the football hall of fame and a pioneering female sports journalist says there's no room for a boys will be boys attitude. >> it's just not relevant here. those are professional athletes. professional reporters, and you know, we're not in seventh grade anymore. >> reporter: sainz says jets owner woody johnson has apologized, and she has accepted. but that doesn't mean the team is out of legal trouble. >> if people around her saw it as sexual harassment then it could be actionable even though she's not quite clear about whether she wants to file a

lawsuit yet. >> reporter: and the jets could also face disciplinary action from the nfl. an investigation is under way. officials will be interviewing both players and coaches today. erica? >> cbs' betty nguyen at the meadowlands. betty, thanks. ines sainz of mexico's tv azteca joins us now. good to have you with us. >> thank you very much. >> we heard a few different accounts. tell us in your words what happened that day in the locker room. >> yes, what happened is the minute i walk in to the locker room, i start to hear that everybody starting to talk about me and makie injokes. but just professional i decide not to pay attention. i focus on my interview so i go direct to the locker of room of mr. sanchez and i wait for him. but i believe that the rest of the media start to hear the different kind of things that i didn't hear. and sometime in a minute, a colleague, come with me, and i'm

so sorry. it mustn't happen, it's terrible. i feel sorry for you. so i tried to say, don't worry, i can handle the situation. >> right. >> and that's it. and i even try to pay attention. >> you just kind of ignored it? it didn't bother you? >> well, i was focused on my job, and try to not pretend not to be feeling bad. >> a locker room is a tough place for anybody, male or female and a lot of journalists say, look, you don't want to be in there no matter what, whether you're male or female. >> yes. >> you covered sports, though, in the past. have you ever had a reaction like that before? >> well, actually, yes i was covering for nine years. and probably i have similar reactions in a different kind of sport. but, never, the vocabulary never so rude. or something that is -- i think that the media that in the locker room, what are really

upset is about the vocabulary they used to refer to me. i want to say that i'm not the one who made the charge. >> yes. >> because i didn't even say, hey, i feel bad for that, with nfl. the ones that say that something is happened there is the rest of the media. >> there has been a little bit of criticism. there's a pretty well known sports blog, they said they spoke with a female reporter who was there for the incident, who covers this on a regular basis, and she had said to them, look, it's really more about respect. respect for, it came across as respect for the team, respect for the sport of football, and sort of knowledge of the game. do you think any of it had to do with that? >> yes. well, i am really grateful with her and with all the accusation of woman reporters, because they take it very seriously. and i believe that that is okay. because, you are woman, and you are a professional way. i make everything in as a

professional way that i needed to do. and not any woman deserves to be treat like this. you must deserve to treat like a professional. >> we're going to look at the picture, i think there's a picture of what you were wearing that day. you know, talking about you tweeted saying, hey, this is what i'm wearing, not a big deal. have you had anybody tell you that that was an inappropriate outfit? >> well, actually no. because i think that each woman wants to be attractive, and i have nine years making my job. i have more than 200 interview with the best players in the

c berkeley alumna it is 7:55. time for news headlines from cbs 5. i'm sydnie kohara. a uc-berkeley grad has been released from custody after more than a year in an iranian prison. iran's state news agency says sarah shourd will travel to the nearby country of oman, where her mother is already waiting for her. it's not clear who paid shourd's half million dollars bail. sure, her fiance and a male friend were arrested last year and iran contends the three were spying. the other two remain in custody. federal investigators say they have finished a probe into the big crater created by last week's pipeline explosion in san bruno. now the investigation is focus on documents regarding that pipeline. according to a pg&e report from last year, a section of that pipeline in south san francisco was considered high risk. we'll take a look at traffic and weather right after this. ,,,,,,,,,,,,

and welcome back to "the early show" here in this top of the hour, friends from louisiana. you noted earlier, a lot of folks from teach for america here this morning. >> great thing. >> absolutely. >> a great thing, teach for america. yep. >> luck toy have them. i'm erica hill here on the plaza along with harry smith. dave price will join us in a little while. fashion. you may have been a part of it friday night wherever you live. it's become so big they're calling it the new black friday. the story in new york this past friday, the lines in some places were around the block. open until 11:00 events, deejay, free stuff. drinks. other cities around the u.s. and

the world did just as well and famed fashion editor anna wintour will join us with a behind-the-scenes peek, how they put it all together. she helped bring it for the second year. we'll talk to her. >> and you'll meet three very forgiving people. each attacked by a shark. they don't hate sharks. they actually want to save sharks and are here to petition of u.n. to get involved. we'll hear their stories in a couple minutes. >> really looking forward to that. first, though, breaking news out of iran this morning. one the american hikers held there has just been released, and for the latest on that story, we head inside where jeff glor is standing by at newsdesk. >> good morning, harry. more on that breaking news. american hiker sarah shourd freed on bail after more than a year in prison in iran. confirms shourd's release. elizabeth palmer is in london

with more on this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we've just been talking to share ra shourd's lawyer. he confirmed she's been released from the notorious evin prison in tehran. traveling somewhere in the gulf region where members of her family are waiting for her. on sunday it was said shourd would be released for health reasons but upon payment of half million dollars bail. then a little confusion with reports that the family couldn't raise the money. suddenly today without any warning, we discovered that sarah shourd was leaving the prison and her lawyer says that the money was paid. although he does say that neither the u.s. government nor the family came up with the cash. so there's a little bit of mystery surrounding that. sarah shourd leaves behind two other companions in jail. they were her hiking companions when all three were arrested about 13 months ago in july of 2009.

they have been on the border between iraq and iran at a famous beauty spot, and they say they crossed into iran without realizing it. the iranians say they were spying, and they are going to go ahead and charged the two remaining american men in jail with espionage a very serious charge indeed in iran. jeff? >> so elizabeth, we heard from the lawyers for sarah shourd's family. any indication when we'll hear from her or family members? >> reporter: he says she's not going to make a statement before she leaves iranian airspace, which is is understandable under the circumstances. but i would suspect pretty soon. jeff? >> okay. liz palmer joining us from london this morning. liz, thank you very much. katie couric with a preview of tonight's "cbs evening news." >> good morning. why are u.s. schools falling behind oh much of the world?

this weather report sponsored by priority mail, flat rate boxes, only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship. that's a quick look at your weather picture. we'll see you in a little bit. i'm going to take a nap. the organizers are feeling pretty good this week. this year's event on friday was a huge success. friday night more than 100 cities around it's world took part in the largest celebration of fashion ever. and tonight on cbs you can see how tough it was to put that together, anna win the torr, longtime editor and chief of "vogue" magazine came up with the idea for fashion night out and is here to give us an idea how everything went on friday. great have you with us. an exhausting time, fashion week. you've been dealing with fashions night out, but overall, how would you rate friday evening, fashion night out? >> we thrilled. it was already a huge success last year, but last year we were really running a campaign with an unknown candidate, and this year when he the incumbent on

our side. at least we e talking about an event people knew what it was, were excited about it and turned out in droves. it was such a fashion community effort. everybody got behind it. everybody had fantastic events in their stores. it was a sense that it was an initiative that was open to everybody, which was very important to the mayor and to nyc and company and all of is in the fashion industry. >> for a lot of people who -- you don't just have the to be in new york to be interested in fashion. an average person sitting at home, fashion is so exciting, and yet it can feel a little stanoffish at time. great to make it inclusive for people. >> it was. really accessible. more rewarding this year is that we started off with it just bean an event that existed in cities around the world that we public "vogue." because it was such a wonderful thrill for everybody last year, we found so many more cities across america under their own

steam became a fashion night out city. stow was really an event that was available to everybody, and if you walked through the streets, as i did, of new york on friday, you just -- everybody was dressed. they were having fun. most importantly, they were shopping. >> which is great, of course, for this economy. that's how all this started last year. to give the economy a little bit of a boost. >> totally. our idea behind it, create a fashion stimulus. our own fashion stimulus package, because there was a sense at that time that people weren't going into the stores, that they were so worried about their finances, very understandably, and we really wanted to jump-start the season with an event that would welcome them into the stores and make it fun for everybody. >> this is no small task to put it all together, and so as we mentioned tonight, a special here looking at fashion's night out. you saw rough cut. give us an idea of the challenges. what do you think is one of the most surprising things we'll learn in watching this? >> what people really be going to understand from seeing this

special is the incredible hard work that goes into fashion. i mean, i think everyone focuses quite a bit on the glamour and the personalities and the celebrities, but behind that is a huge, huge industry with so many people's livelihoods dependent on a r it and also part of the thinking, fashion's night out, anxious for people to keep their jobs, to be able to send their kids to school, pay the rent, all of those things that i think get lost with all the glamour of industry, which is obviously part and parcel of what we do, but there is another side to it, too and the special really shows that. >> gives you a good idea. you mentioned you were walking around new york city. a lot of people in soho, downtown. did you go 22 events? >> i think i lost track by the end of the evening, but everybody in the industry had been so incredibly supportive and helpful, and this was a group effort. i mean, this was everybody getting behind it. big names, people who work in

the stores. for the customer, and i really wanted to be out and be visible and also to say, thank you, to so many people that worked so hard. >> a lot of this kicked off with -- andre, of course, works with "vogue." we spoke with him last thursday, the largest show done at lincoln center last thursday night, helped people get ready for fashion's night out. a showcase what is hot now. the trends for 2010. that was a great success. >> it was a great success. really like staging a military operation. we worked on the fashion show for over six months, there were 170 models. really showcasing the looks of the season. i think the thinking behind that was not only to kick off fashion's night out but also in a week where television and newspapers and online is very focus on clothes available in six months, we wanted to make sure that the consumer readed there were also fabulous fashion in the stores right then and there to buy. >> and do that on friday.

pleasure to have you with us. we look forward to seeing what happens next year for fashion's night out. >> so do i. >> you'll get a little rest before the then. thanks again. a reminder, catch the special "fashion's night out 2010" tonight at 10:00, 9:00 central right here on cbs. just ahead, why would you protect something that tried to eat you? three shark attack victims join us to tell us why sharks now need your help to fight off extinction. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. look at all this stuff for coffee. oh there's tons. french presses, expresso tampers, filters. it can get really complicated. not nearly as complicated as shipping it, though. i mean shipping is a hassle. not with priority mail flat rate boxes from the postal service. if it fits it ships anywhere in the country for a low flat rate. that is easy. best news i've heard all day! i'm soooo amped! i mean not amped. excited. well, sort of amped. really kind of in between. have you ever thought about decaf? do you think that would help? yeah. priority mail flat rate box shipping starts at $4.95, only from the postal service. a simpler way to ship.

scientists estimate that 30% of shark species are close to extinction. it's no surprise that conservation groups are concerned and some unlikely advocates have emerged. paul de gelder, a diver for the australian navy, was attacks bay bull shark in sydney harbor last year. he lost his right hand, his lower right leg. debbie salamone, a journalist and dancer, swimming in came california in 2004, when a shark bit her foot, severing her achille's tendon. in 1997, michael coots lost part of his right leg to a shark while surfing off the hawaiian island. and debbie, michael and paul, along with seven other victims, are visiting the united nations today, calling for stronger protection of sharks worldwide. good morning to you all. >> good morning. >> when people see you and they say, now hang on a minute, you were attacked bay shark and you're advocating for sharks, they must be very prized? >> well, yes, it is the ultimate

story of irony and forgiveness. when you think about these statistics, it's very frightening for the health of our oceans. so we need to end finning, we need to halt fishing for these threatened and near-threatened species and need countries to come up with good global shark conservation plans to have some limits on shark fishing because there are no limits right now. >> right. tell me about your story. you're a surfer, right, you're 18 years old. tell me about your experience. >> early morning, pedalling with friends, surf was fun. everybody caught a wave. i was by myself, nice one came. as soon as i made a paddling motion a large tiger shark came up vertically. it wasn't like "jaw." did the rag doll thing. i punched it a couple of times. as soon as i hit it let go, looked at my finger, saw blood, my leg started doing this weird shake. i thought the shark was trying

to chomp after me. i looked over and my leg was gone, completely severed, never felt it come off. >> you should be the last person in the world advocating for conservation of sharks and for sort of elevating sharks to not being demons but being part of the health of our planet. why are you on board? >> yeah, well, these guys contacted me and gave me numbers. i had no idea, i think the again population doesn't know about shark finning. i was bafrlfled and felt in my position to do something positive and i can open up doors in my story. why not? >> paul, almost like the equivalent of a navy s.e.a.l., a special ops guy, out there, doing train, tell us what happened to you. >> i spent most of my time around the water because of my job. 7:00 in the morning in sydney harbor, conducting a terrorism trial. i was swimming on the surface and a shark came out of nowhere, grabs me by my hamstring, and i

tried to go for the eyeball but my hand was in its mouth as well so i count. >> that would slow that process down. >> yeah, yeah. i tried to go left hand, go to the eyeball, couldn't reach. tried to punch it, get it off me, i think i upset it. it took me under water. shook me around. brought me up, took me back down, then it was gone. >> of all of you, you may be the one who is luckiest just to be alive. he took a -- he had his way with you. >> yeah, basically one centimeter close to the femmerle artery we would have died and i basically died twice on the way to hospital. >> you are really the most unlikely of all to say, to be an advocate for sharks. >> it's a respect thing. it's not a fear thing. when the pure environmental group contacts me, that was a humbling experience because i do a little bit of work in australia, but to come over here on a worldwide scale, go to the u.n., and work with these wonderful people, that's

amazing. so, yeah, try to make a difference worldwide. >> right, right. you're attacked, you're at cape canaveral, in a couple of feet of water, it goes down for your achille's, longtime for rehabilitation. ever occurred to you before this accident happened? >> no. in fact, i really didn't know the plight of sharks too much. >> right. >> and after the attack, i was plotting my revenge. i wanted to eat shark steak. i was not happy. so eventually i saw it as a test of my commitment to environmental conservation. >> with the sharks they take the fins, throw the rest away? >> exactly. they slice off the sharks fins and dump the animals, sometimes still alive, back in the water where it drowns or bleeds to death. fishermen can fetch up to $300 per pound for the fins are which is used as a soup ingredient in asian markets. we're hunting the species to extinction.

is so difficult as a parent to decide how to punish your kids. you're just getting to this stage right. i'm navigating it myself. harry is old hat now. you can't ground them the way that any of us were grounded because it just doesn't work anymore. they need to have things like their cell phones, the iphone, their facebook, they're so ahead of us technologically that this is their lifeline. so could you digitally ground them. >> starve them digitally. >> ah, but there is a right way and a wrong way to starve them digitally. not as easy as pulling the plug. we'll help you navigate. >> nice segway with the starving because we're talking about lunch now. talking about school lunches. bobby flay is here. he teamed up with hellmann's to make some pretty cool school lunch sandwiches including grilled eggplant sandwiches, mini fish tacos. >> i hear dave price had a sample and they were delicious. >> what? you got an advance copy? >> i did. >> dave! >> i didn't double dip. relax. >> i want to see the brown bag

south texas, south florida, northern maine, you could see some showers today. that is a quick look at your weather picture. erica, inside to you. >> dave, thanks. take a listen to these numbers, 93% of kids between the ages of 12 and 17 regularly go online. 75% own a cell phone. and 66% say they text. so when your kids misbehave, that's where you can really hit them where it hurts. as cbs news correspondent michelle miller reports, it's a little something called digital grounding. >> i can get a normal phone? >> oh, you have a lot to prove. >> reporter: when new york city judge shaund yeah simpson caught her daughter lying about joining facebook-818 friends, 597 photos. 17 videos later. >> i need that time. >> reporter: she delivered a tough sentence. >> when my mom took my phone and

changed my facebook pass word. >> reporter: so basically you felt the punishment should fit the crime? >> oh, and i know about crimes. so, yes. >> except for school you're not to leave this house for the next ten days. >> ten days? >> reporter: gone are the days of grounding meant you were just confined to the house. now, parents are keeping up with the times. punishment has gone digital. >> how much are you on the computer, the telephone, the internet? >> every day. >> reporter: cell phones and the internet seem to be the only ways teens communicate with each other. consider this. the average teen spends two full hours a day online. and 80% of that is spent on social networking sites like facebook. but that's not all. on average, teens text 1,500 times a month. >> i think that sharia could have done better in school had she spent less time maybe on facebook, less time on the phone, less time on the

blackberry. >> reporter: you think you were addicted? so for the next few months in boarding school sharia will live without cell phone or facebook access, which seems to be the only punishment that matters to our tech-obsessed teens. if she said you can't go out for ten days or a month, would it have the same effect? >> no. it would not. >> reporter: but this did it? >> yes. >> here with a little more help for you on digital grounding, "early" show contributor jennifer hartstein, and aol consumer adviser regina lewis. those numbers, 93% of kids are online. i wasn't shocked i have to say, but it's still really high. you can't, though, jen, just send them to their room because most of that is in the room, right? >> right. so you really have to rethink how we are disciplining our kids. we want to teach them to do new things we just have to figure out how -- to do that so sending them to their rooms is like sending them to where they can

inner act with their friends and be with their friends. you're going to have to figure out how to ground them digitally. >> you have to make the punishment fit the crime. you can't take away the cell phone. >> no. you want to think about what it is that they did and what it is they're getting punished or disciplined for. so you want to make it appropriate. >> sometimes it can involve what they're doing with that technology, regina, i think it is 62% of parents say they've taken away the cell phone as punishment. what are the concerns for parents though is now i can't reach my kid so how do you balance that? >> i think that's what prevents a lot of parents from following through. what if there's an emergency. how will i know when soccer practice is over. it's an inconvenience to you. but can you customize your cell phone plan. every major carrier allows for this. think of it as the inverse of blocking. instead of trying to block or blacklist the bad guys you white list the good guys, you, the other spouse, an emergency contact. those are the only phone calls they'll be able to make calls to, take calls to. >> so they can't even receive from other people. >> correct. and you can also turn off text messaging which is the biggie. ironically there's a cost for that because the cell phone

companies, of course, want you to text message. so expect to pay about $5 a month to turn it off. >> but it's still worth it. what about facebook. three out of four teens are on facebook pb if you want to limit that, do you just pull the plug on it entirely? >> this is where i think parents tend to overshoot. if you tell your kids you're going to take down or get rid of their facebook. that is the virtual equivalent of telling them the world is ending. what you want to do is go on with them and say hey, we're going to change the pass word and for a week you're not going to have access to it. and on on ongoing basis i suggest being their friend. friending them. about 70% of parents do that. there's a new tool i tested with my own teenage daughter called safe social. you get a synopsis, analysis of their friends and update on their social activity. >> see not just what they're doing. it's not just you i'm worried about. >> there you go. what age do you start this sort of digital grounding that we're calling it? >> what are your kids doing? it can start young. kids are using xbox, itouch to play games. they're involved in digital media much earlier. so it can start at 7, 8 or 9 and

as we saw in that piece it's very meaningful to take those things away because they are their life line. >> how about, though, you take the keys away to the car. they can get a ride with somebody else. you may take away their cell phone, but they can obviously go to someone else's house. how do you stay on top of it to make sure they're not using their friend's iphone. >> it's really hard to do when they're not in your house. but if they are grounded they may not be going to their friend's house so you have more control. some of it you're in my house, these are the rules and what we're going to follow and when you're out of our house there is a little bit of a lax thing but you want to hope they're going to follow it. >> what's the scariest thing as a parent you say we can actually conquer with technology? >> the scariest thing? >> yeah. >> well i think when it comes to grounding, this could be really effective. i also think you have to have enough time to go by that they recognize that maybe everything in moderation. so when they start back up, maybe they have a little bit more to check. >> great tips this morning. harry? >> judge judy look out. nancy grace has a new television

show called "swift justice." and in it, she is the judge, and the jury. >> and you are trying to suggest i shouldn't be angry that you victimize people that are less strong or less cunning than you? you have permanently scarred your child. >> yeah. >> all right. and yes, i'm mad about it. whether you or are not. somebody in this room should be mad. case closed. >> and nancy grace is here with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning, harry. >> you promise not to yell at me, right? >> can't make that kind of promise up front. >> very good. very good. i want to just, before we get into the show, there are several people in america who really don't know your back story. and that you were -- worked as a prosecutor, that you've -- this is part of your life. and something really horrible happened to you when you were a young woman. >> that's true. that's true. many, many years ago, just

before my wedding, my fiance was murdered. he was shot, he was shot five times in the neck and the face and the head. i dropped out of school, out of church, out of everything that i was part of. i never even called my job in the library and said i wasn't showing up. and i thought of that the other day. and for the next years, decades of my life, i went back to school to go to law school to become a felony prosecutor, and then prosecuting felonies for ten years in inner city atlanta. >> okay. so, if people understand that framework, they'll, "a," understand what you do on headline news a lot better, and then especially understand what you're trying to accomplish in this show. which is, it's not my, you know, my landlord stole my newspaper. >> no. >> it's not those cases? >> it's not about you owe $300 on the cell phone bill. it's not that.

>> right. >> these cases are taken from courts all over the country which are extremely overburdened. i remember i tried murder case, come back to my office, there would be 150 new files for me to prosecute. a crush of cases. >> sure. >> and some of them are funny. some of them are sad. they're all over the map. but we have the ability to bring in witnesses, harry, from all over the country on giant electronic monitors. >> okay. >> that turn into witness stands. >> all right. >> and experts, anyone to help illuminate the case. the other day i had a case where giant wedding, 16 attendants on either side, and the caterer did one thing. he burned the chicken wings. you could see the mother of that bride when all the attendants in their long dresses and their tiaras were serving up the chicken wings. >> not good. >> didn't go over very well. >> but that's on one side. but on the other side, the clip we just showed looks like something serious. >> well, they're involved, in

that case, some abuse in the home. and everybody just stood by and let it happen. that's not okay. and in the mother, who is able to leave the home, which is very difficult to do. and i was a volunteer at the battered women's center for many years, i get it. but when you allow your child to be subjected to that, that's on you. >> right. >> all right. and if she wasn't mad about it, i was. >> so you are the judge. you are also the jury in these cases. and then from what i understand then, it's also supposed to be legally binding? how does that work? >> it is legally binding. it's not supposed to be, harry. >> what i'm saying is they come then there to you voluntarily? >> yes, they do. >> they come to "swift justice" voluntarily, and i will render just that, swift justice. >> wow. >> and we also go to people at their home computers. we bring them to the set from all over the country. but we also go to them, and i adjudicate cases where people are standing by at home. >> holy cow. nancy grace.

we sure appreciate you stopping by. >> well, thank you for having me. >> we'll look for "swift justice." >> thank you. >> on a station near you. appreciate it. she didn't yell at me. now here's erica. >> our good friend bobby flay is doing a little twofer this morning. he's a spokesman for hellmann's mayonnaise now. here to promote share our strength which is an organization to raise money so no kids go hungry at school. which is very important. you're also going to help us make some good treats. could be good for your child's lunch, your own lunch, incorporating a little mayonnaise. >> hellmann's is one of those things i've always had in my refrigerator. i think we all have. i started working with hellmann's about three years ago. it's one of those things that you can really build a foundation of good dishes with. it's made with real simple things like eggs, oil and vinegar. >> it's a great program. tell us just a little bit about the program. >> if you go to the hellmann's facebook page you can build virtual sandwiches. and create lots of ideas, and then hellmann's is going to make a donation up to $75,000 to share our strength. the idea to make sure that every

kit eats in this country. >> which is great. >> absolutely. let's get to the food. a couple things we have here. i made some like little miniature fish tacos. these are ideas for when kids come home from school, you want them to have snacks that are going to be good for them and taste good, as well. actually i used some halibut here that i poached. you could use things like salmon or snapper, or a good quality tuna would be fantastic, as well. used a little bit of hellmann's. and then i just made a fresh tomato salsa. so tomatoes, cilantro, and a little bit of lime juice and some chilies. you can keep the chilies out if you want, and some crunch and tortilla chips >> can i try this? >> absolutely. it's a really fresh tasting almost like a fish salad on a tortilla chip. >> hmm. >> you good? i'm going to move on. this would be like a really good entree. for dinner. this is a cajun spiced chicken breast. very simple. cajun spices. put on the outside of the chicken breast and then i made a

very simple sauce with hellmann's mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, worcestershire sauce and lemon. this is almost like a creole, louisiana style dish. >> it's easy. >> a few simple ingredients. if you're worried about it being too spicy, the sauce quells that. we're trying to get kids to eat flavor, as well. >> so what are we making? >> we have open-faced eggplant sandwich sandwiches. now what i did first was took some ciabatta bread. this is ciabatta. it's fantastic. it's nice and crusty on the outside, and what i do is i toast it. you know, sort of the fancy italian word with be crostini. it's toast. so it's toast and we just kind of grill the toast. then what i do is i make a -- >> do you put a little olive oil on that? >> canola oil. or if you want to use olive oil, that's fine as well. then i take some mayonnaise or peck roney cheese or parmesan

cheese would be fine as well. cracked pepper, little bit of salt. maybe a little bit of lemon zest. we have a microplane? you know what these are? >> i use it all the time. >> isn't it awesome? >> yes, i love it. >> it's really fantastic at getting the zest out of the lemon, and there's so much flavor in the zest. >> you can smell it. >> it's great. >> okay. all right you want to whip that up for me? >> happily. >> and that's going to be sort of -- that's actually going to be sort of like the spread on the bottom of the bread. >> okay. >> we're going to start with this. and let's work our way down here. >> okay, let's do that. >> so i'm just going to start spreading the -- >> this is the same one? >> exactly. want to help me do one? >> yeah. >> here. grab a -- you're pretty good in the kitchen, all right? >> i'm all right. i can hold my own. >> sometimes dave price shows up here and we try to keep the tools away from him. >> we don't need a lawsuit on our hands. >> all right. >> so then some fresh mozzarella. and then a little bit of some grilled eggplant. >> how did you -- you just slice

it, a little bit of olive oil on that? >> a little bit of olive oil. and then a little bit of grilled eggplant. what i do with the eggplant is i slice it thin. a little bit of canola oil. grill it. salt and pepper and that's it. everything here, just a little salt and pepper and some oil. very, very simple. then i'm going to take a little bit of roasted red pepper, and like to me, i'm trying to save summer. this is some of the end of summer. a little fresh basil on top. >> my favorite. good tomatoes this season. >> good tomatoes, exactly. and there we go. that's it. and it's a beautiful sort of open-faced sandwich. >> it is. >> want to give it a try? >> give it a crunch. >> nice, yeah. >> yes. >> and that's what you want. crispy on the outside. a little tender on the inside and all the flavors kind of working to the. they're pretty this way, too. >> makes it delicious. >> it's really pretty when you give it a try. >> i wouldn't have thought the mayonnai mayonnaise. >> and dave price is going to
