dramatic video shows a cargo ship split in two. authorities say the result is a disaster. and a texas pastor calls on married couples in his congregation to engage in a week of sex. seven straight days of sex. he and his wife are going to join me this hour to talk about the results of this sex-periment. we don't start with sex, we start with politics. that debate in new hampshire. you may have missed it while out for a late dinner last night or o while watching the nfl playoffs so we have got the highlights, the hits, the misses, the punches not thrown. here's cnn's political editor paul steinhauser. >> good morning, gary. round one of this doubleheader of debates this weekend up here in new hampshire is over. guess what? front-runner mitt romney is still the front-runner. the former massachusetts governor who's way ahead in polls here in new hampshire really remain unscathed as this debate as a lot of the rivals didn't really attack him but rather went after each other. listen to this exchange between ron paul, the congressman from texas, and former senator rick santorum of pennsylvania who's really been surging in the polls. >> so he's a big government person, along with him being very associated with the lobbyists and taking a lot of funds, and also, where did he make his living afterwards? i mean he became a high-powered lobbyist in washington, d.c. >> it's a ridiculous charge. and you should know better than to cite george soros-like organizations to say that they're corrupt. so that's number one. ron, i'm a conservative. i'm not a libertarian. i believe in some government. >> reporter: former utah governor jon huntsman is placing all his chips right here in new hampshire. he didn't really campaign in iowa and he hopes for a strong finish here in tuesday's primary. huntsman was touting his experience as u.s. ambassador to china but mitt romney had an answer. >> it's nonsense to think you can slap a tariff on china the first day that you're in office as governor romney would like to do. you've got to sit down and sort through the issues of trade like you do with north korea, like you do with iran, like with burma and pakistan and the south china sea. they're all interrelated. to have a president who actually understands how that relationship works would serve the interests of the people of. country. from an economic standpoint and from a security standpoint. >> i'm sorry, governor, you were the last two years implement being the policies of this administration in china. >> texas governor rick perry had a disappointing fifth place finish in iowa. he hopes for a strong comeback. he appeared to make a little bit of news at the debate. >> i would send troops back into iraq because i will tell you -- >> now? >> i think we start talking with the iraqi individuals there. the idea that we allow the iranians to come back in to iraq and take over that country with all of of the treasure both in blood and money that we have spent in iraq because this president wants to kowtow to his liberal leftist base and move out those men and women. he could have renegotiated that time frame. i think it is a huge error for us -- >> those comments here generated a lot of buzz online and on social networks. they were a talking point in the spin room after the debate. this debate, only round one. a few hours from now, another showdown between these six candidates as we get closer and closer to tuesday's primary. gary? >> paul, thank you very much. joining me now from manchester, new hampshire, patricia murphy. the founder and editor of citizen jane politics. mitt romney, the clear front-runner in the new hampshire primary two days away from now. the clear front-runner in the south carolina primary polls, 13 days from now, a week from saturday, did his rivals miss the mark but not directly going after him last night? >> i personally think, yes, they did miss the mark. nobody has really gone after mitt romney in nearly any of these debates. if somebody doesn't do it soon, he is going to be the run-away winner of this entire campaign. what you saw instead is what is happening here on the ground in new hampshire, really a fore-way battle for second and third place. these candidates know they need to come out of new hampshire with momentum going into south carolina and going into florida so we saw instead of all these guys going after mitt romney they started just having a dog fight against each other. there are a couple of clips you saw santorum going after ron paul, ron paul going after newt gingrich. they're also all exhausted to this point. you saw real flashes of anger between them as well. as much as it was strategic, i think there was a lot of fatigue and just genuine frustration against the other candidates for running negative ads against them. i think it was all wrapped up in what we saw last night. >> you talk about the interesting back-and-forths that we saw last night. we want to play one of them, mitt romney and jon huntsman arguing over china. >> if i'm president of the united states, i'm not going to continue to talk about how important china is and how we have to get along, and i believe those things. they're very important. and we do have to get along but i'm also going to tell the chinese it's time to stop. you have to play by the rules. i will not let you kill american jobs any longer. >> i think it's important to note as they would say in china, mitt. [ speaking chinese ] he doesn't quite understand this situation. what he is calling for would lead to a trade war. it makes fors talk and a nice applause line but it is far different from the reality in the u.s.-china relationship. >> i'm guessing that's the first time that chinese has been uttered at a presidential debate in u.s. political history. either way as huntsman who knows chinese and was the ambassador in beijing, is he generating any buzz with two days to go before the primary? >> well first of all, i'm sure that must have been a real zinger in mandarin but nobody in the audience really knew what he was talking about so just a very strange moment. something huntsman is struggling with here, even though he's very good on the issues, he doesn't have a lot of of charisma. he's just not catching fire. so they like what they see on paper but when they meet him in person, it's just a little bit of a wet rag reaction. i've been with him in a lot of rooms and people say, i really like him, but i don't know. sew starts to really connecting with people. i interviewed his wife yesterday. she's wonderful. his daughters are wonderful. so we know there is a lot of personality there, he just needs to sort of wake up and come alive to start attracting these voters. so i don't know if he's catching fire here. he's in the double digits. people who support him are strong supporters of his. but he needs to do very well in new hampshire. he's real lly bet his entire campaign on this. he did not campaign in iowa. he's been here for months. if he doesn't do first or second here, i don't know how much longer jon huntsman can really go on. >> rick santorum caught fire in the iowa caucuses. if he got nine for votes he would have won the iowa caucuses. is he catching fire, continuing momentum from his second place finish in iowa? >> he has really had some huge crowds here in new hampshire. of all the candidates he really has the most packed schedule every day. he's doing up to eight events a day. yesterday before the debates most candidates had one, two, maybe three events, had he four town halls. his town halls are really drawing huge numbers of people. most of the people are just coming to find out more about him, learn baltimore about his policies and they are hearing maybe some attacks on him on new hampshire radio and television that they at least want answered. he's generating a lot more interest at least than before. whether they end up supporting him is the big question for him. he's definitely trying to build on his momentum and we'll know tuesday if he did. >> i want to share one more exchange from last night, newt gingrich facing criticism from ron paul over military service. now paul served in the active military. gingrich did not. >> i think people who don't serve when they could and they get three or four, even five deferments, aren't -- they have no right to send our kids off to war and not be even against the wars that we have. i'm trying to stop the wars, but at least i went when they called me up. >> dr. paul has a long history of saying things that are inaccurate and false. the fact is, i never asked for deferment. i was married with a child. it was never a question. my father was in fact serving in vietnam in the delta at the time he's referring to. i think i have a pretty good idea what have it is like as a family to worry about your father getting killed and i personally resent the kind of comments and aspersions he routinely makes without accurate information and then just slurs people with. >> i need one quick follow-up. when i was drafting, i was married and i had two kids and i went. >> i wasn't eligible for the draft. i wasn't eligible for the draft. >> by the way, paul and perry are the only two of the candidates who didn't serve active military service. meanwhi meanwhile, it was very important for gingrich to do well today in the debate that's coming up and last night. how did he do last night? >> i think he did well enough. i don't know if he really significantly improved his chances here in new hampshire but he certainly didn't hurt himself. what you saw there with ron paul, there is a very unusual divide right now between ron paul and almost everybody else in this race. ron paul on tv is going after these candidates and he's accused newt gingrich, for example, of serial hypocrisy. ron paul has also accused rick santorum of being a serial hypocrite as well. what you see on the stage is some of the latent anger that's going on between these candidates, hitting each other really, really hard. it is a huge pitched battle for second and third. gingrich is in the race for second and third and we'll see how he does on thursday. >> behind you, by the way, it looks like a norman rockwell painting. such a great picture of you standing there. >> we're actually sitting in a u haul truck so what's behind me is the magic of television. >> thank you so much for your insight. it is really appreciated today. >> i appreciate it. much more on the debate with our candy crowley that's coming up a little later in the show. on her show, "state of the union," candy welcomes jon huntsman so stay around for that. don't forget, cnn's live team coverage of the new hampshire primary begins tuesday, 7:00 eastern time. nearly 100 soldiers are in lockdown at a seattle base. the soldiers are confined to the lewis mcchord army air force base after authorities received a report that sensitive equipment, including scopes and night lasers were missing. a spokesman for the base says they are trying to determine how long the equipment has been gone. soldiers returned from iraq in september 2010. a cargo ship that's been stranded on a reef off the coast of new zealand since last year has split in two. bad weather is being blamed for the split which sent hundreds of containers and debris into the water. tons of oil spilled from the ship but ran aground last october. government officials say it is the country's most significant maritime environmental disaster. congresswoman gabby giffords is back in tucson, arizona today for a ceremony mark being the one-year anniversary of the shooting. she and her husband, mark kelly, visited a memorial for gabe zimmerman, an aide of giffords, who was killed in the attack. much more on this stare later in the program. warm, cold, snow, rain. it is hard to figure out what's going on. this january 8th. we're almost to the middle of january. i think the coldest weeks of the winter are the end of january. coming up to the coldest weeks of winter, so far, alexandra steele, it's been pretty moderate in most of the united states. >> in new york and new jersey yesterday, 60-degree temperatures. more indicative of april than january. 50 tomorrow in denver, colorado. so where is the cold? we do have some weather. storms developing along the southern tier of the country and some snow and some cooling temperatures so i've got a full weather package coming up for you in just a few moments. an extreme vacation outing ends with a scare. this was the scene as an australian tourist -- this is unbelievable -- experienced the ultimate nightmare during a bungee jump. she survived. but the plunge into the river was just the beginning of her troubles. wow. but first, what do the words bailout, app and tweet have in common? all of them were previously chosen as word of the year. in a minute we'll review what word won for 2011. here's a hint -- think 99%. beth! hi. looking good! you've lost some weight. thanks! you noticed! you know these clothes are too big now, so i'm donating them. not going back there again. good for you! how'd you do it?

"occupy" joins previous year's winners app, tweet and bailout. now watch closely. frightening as it is to admit, anyone who thinks about bungee jumping has an image of this. it came true for a 22-year-old australian tourist. as she jumped her cord snapped. she plummeted 365 feet into the water. that's more than 100 yards. that's more than a football field into the water. she survived but then she faced another challenge, the bungee cord was wrapped around her legs and she had to swim through rapids to get out of there. i'm really curious if she will ever jump again. if she jumps again, we will show you the video. hopefully be more successful. speaking of words of the day, my word of the day is playoffs. that's because it is wild card weekend in the nfl. hln sports ray d'alessio is here with me now to take us through the action from last night. houston texans. it is the first playoff game. they are an expansion team and they won the playoff. >> they are a huge story this year, mostly because their top two quarterbacks are on the injured list. enter third string quarterback t.j. yates. an undrafted rookie. he wasn't even invited to the rookie combine. the other big story, j.j. watt, also a rookie. look at the way he intercepts this pass, jumps up, texans get their first playoff win winning 31-10. they travel to the ravens next week. more on t.j. yates. i mentioned he was undrafted out of north carolina. wasn't even invited to the combine last year as a prospect. he was invited there to throw to the receivers and one of the coaches for the texans saw him and said we may want to consider taking this guy. sure enough they drafted him and he's become basically an instant star for them. i certainly feel they've got two great quarterbacks but i certainly feel that if he continues the way that they're going, there could be a quarterback controversy in houston next year. would not surprise me. >> there are no quarterback controversies between the saints and lions. >> no quarterback controversies there. when you talk about the new orleans saints, of course you are talking about drew brees. i definitely think this guy cemented his place in the nfl hall of fame. the pro football hall of fame. what a performance by this guy last night. not one, not two, three touchdown passes against the lions. he threw for 466 yards. that is the most yards in a regulation playoff game. new orleans was down 14-10 at halftime. they exploded for 35 second half points. they won this game 45-28. next week they travel to san francisco to take on the 49ers but again, drew brees, what can you say about this guy that hasn't been said already? he's just absolutely incredible. he is a great guy off the field. superb quarterback on the field. canton, ohio definitely has a place for him some day. >> real quick your predictions today about the giants. >> i definitely like the giants in that game. the falcons -- >> it is in new jersey. >> it is going to be in new jersey but i definitely like the giants. as far as the second game, that's a tossup. you got tim tebow going against ben roethlisberger and the steelers. steelers are banged up but of course the broncos are on a three-game losing streak. i got to go with the experience in this game, i got to go with the steelers. >> game's in denver. >> yes. >> steelers are a better team. >> yes, they are. we'll be watching football, news, debates -- there's a lot going on. it almost impacts every student and every teacher. one of the driving forces behind what's being taught in classrooms. no child left behind. ten years later. coming up, what it still means for your kid and what's being done with it. ♪ [ slap! ] [ slap! slap! slap! slap! ] ow, ow!

[ laughs ] hey! today we mark a major anniversary that's affected your son, daughter, grandchild, and almost every student and teacher in the united states of america. exactly ten years ago today, in the year 2002, president george w. bush signed no child left behind into law. cnn student news anchor carl azuz is here to look at the impact of the controversy of no child left behind. carl, take a step back. what were the initial goals whether this was implemented a decade ago? >> initially it was designed to sort of expand federal education legislation dating back to 1965. at the time it became the most sweeping federal legislation on education in american history back in 2002 when it was signed. there are a lot of different provisions to no child left behind but really at the heart and soul of it is the goal to drive student achievement and to hold schools accountable to the federal government for ensuring that students are getting a consistently improving education. >> so it became obviously very controversial. let's talk impact. what happened because of the law? >> there were some good things and some bad things with anything, as you might expect. a lot of people who support no child left behind hailed the intent of the law. they say it had some good ideas behind it and they say it did help bring accountability to schools to show the student's education was continually getting better. they also say it do did help to some extent to start narrowing the achievement gap between progress measured in rich and poor schools. but a lot of schools focus on o testing. a
