following this this morning. reporter: when the governor signed the nation s toughest immigration law this friday, it sparked protests, but also opened a very stormy international debate on reform. arizona governor jan brewer friday signed a controversial bill, the toughest state law against illegal immigration in the country. i have decided to sign bill 1070 into law because i firmly believe that it s what s best for arizona. reporter: arizona is now in direct conflict with the white house where the president approximate welcomed the country s newest americans. president obama used the occasion to call arizona s new immigration law misguided. it will only open the door to irresponsibility by others. that includes recent efforts in arizona. reporter: for days now, hundreds of protesters have thered outside of arizona s capitol building hoping the governor would veto the law, calling it a license to discriminate. supporters say the law is long overdue. no longer can we sit on the sidelines and be a spectator to the laws of this nation. reporter: the law makes illegal immigration a state crime and allows police officers to check the status of people. we do no racial profile. when they can t get you on anything else, they throw up the race card. reporter: andrew sanchez grew up right outside of phoenix in the mostly hispanic town of guadalupe. governor brewer knows that people are watching to see how arizona will enforce the law. racial profiling is illegal and it will not be tolerated in america and it certainly will not be tolerated in arizona. reporter: critics called the new law unconstitutional, setting the stage for a showdown in court. the law is set to take effect this summer and the governor has called for training so she says any violations of civil rights are avoided. lester? and jose the fact that this law does not take effect for several months, that obviously opens up a window for legal challenges, are they expected and could it delay the implementation of this law? reporter: great question, as a matter of fact because the government took a couple of days to decide one way or another, some organizations were preparing to file papers. in fact yesterday on my news program, maldaf in los angeles said they re already getting ready to file papers, the question is will this law take effect and start, organizations say, affecting hispanics in the near future? a lwas there also a secondar motive here to light a fire under the federal government? george bush couldn t get it done, president obama hasn t gotten it done yet. a lot of people say this law was able to exist here because of the political oxygen that exists here because of the lack of leadership in washington regarding immigration reform and there are a lot of people here and you just have to go to the border area and talk to the ranchers and they say, listen, don t i have the right to control my own property? i have dozens of people crossing through here every day and i need some help. now to the latest on that oil rig disaster on the gulf. authorities ended their search late friday but they continue their efforts to contain a massive oil slick. anne thompson joins us with the latest. reporter: having suspended the search for the 11 missing men, officials now turn their attention to two issues, first is as you said, trying to contain any environmental damage caused by the accident and then secondly, trying to figure out what caused this disaster. this is what first responders saw, an inferno on the water. man, you can feel the heat right now. reporter: the intensity of the fire dimming the chances that the 11 missing workers could be found. it s very important that we extend our sympathy to the families. reporter: the coast guard and the oil companies are trying to prevent an environmental tragedy. a sheen of oil at times up to 100 square miles floats over the gulf, while officials say they don t see any crude spilling from the underwater well head, they are taking no chances. an oil cleanup like this one is attacked on three fronts, oil containment booms sometimes miles long are placed on the surface of the water around the spill. they keep the oil and any debris in a confined area. from the air, planes drop thousands of gallons of chemical disburse sants, this causes the oil to form droplets where they are either diluted or picked up by skimmer boats. despite the disaster, the white house says president obama has no intentions of backing away from his plan to expand offshore drilling announced last month. we are going to need to harness traditional sources of fuel, even as we ramp up new sources of renewable homegrown energy. reporter: the president wants to expand drilling sights off the eastern gulf of mexico, the mid-atlantic coast and the section of the arctic ocean north of alaska. as crews work to contain the damage, environmentalists worry about sperm whales that feed near the sunken rig. there are risks if you expand oil drilling, you ll see these risks off of your shores, so as we make this decision, you need to know that this is coming to your shores as well. reporter: crews will also be dealing with some very strong weather today, as you can see, there are high winds along the coast and those winds could push the oil slick toward shore and if that happens t shell fish that is at the heart of new orleans cuisine along with the wildlife that is on that shore could be threatened. and for more on all of this, we turn to the coast guard official in charge of the operation in the area, she s admiral mary landry, good morning. good morning, amy. and obviously the loss of life, 11 lives to be specific is what makes this accident so tragic. how tough was it to make to the decision to suspend the search? on any given day there s 35,000 workers out there, one loss of life is unacceptable and we have 11. so we have a very, very extensive investigation. the coast guard and the minerals and management to figure out why this happened and to prevent this from happening again. the rig sank thursday after burning for two days and on friday you said that visual and sonar monitoring, according to that there was nothing to indicate that there was crude oil emanating from the well head, is that still true this morning? that s true, there s no oil emanating from the well head. what we re dealing with is residual left over from the explosion. but the well head itself is not, the blowout preventer, it s presumed that it s activated and there s no crude emanating from that, our goal is to keep that oil spill as far offshore as possible, and we have spoken with the states along the potential affected coastline, but we re remaining confident we can work this oil spill offshore. obviously when we hear oil spills, especially in an area like the gulf of mexico, there are so many environmental concerns, we just heard our correspondent anne thompson outline some of them. can you give us an idea at what threat this bill still poses to the environment and what role the weather may play in all of this. i think anne had it right, we absolutely are concerned about all the wildlife and the sensitive coastline, the wet lands, we actually have worked with the states preparing for spills like this and we do respond when necessary. so we are focused with the state of louisiana, mississippi, alabama, on preparing to keep this oil offshore, so it doesn t impact the shoreline. the shell fish beds are a big deal around here. is there any indication that the oil in the water has washed ashore or how close it may have come to shore. it s still at least 30 miles offshore, but first light, we will be up in the air monitoring the location. we have a robust array of resources, offshore skimmers, boom, the weather will affect that, we ll do our best to keep this offshore and we ll keep everybody posted as to our progress. admiral mary landry, thanks for taking time out to tell us about this this morning. good morning, everyone. we begin in iraq where funerals are taking place this morning after dozens of people were killed friday. four strategically located car bombs timed to maximize the carnage exploded in the streets. 69 people died. it was the deadliest day in iraq this morning. and we re learning more about

a surgery caused a staff infection. she said her insurance company canceled her coverage after 17 years. she never bought it. it didn t make any sense to me. well point acknowledges that it cancels its claim after policyholders receive critics say the company is looking for excuses to cancel the coverage, called rescission. now they say the company is now targeting women with breast cancer with the intention of canceling their policies. kathleen sebelius called the practice on conationable. we re saying to wellpoint, stop the practice of going after people that are sick. let americans have some more health skirn security here. today well point fired back saying both her statement and the original statement are inaccurate. wells abo s abo wellpoint does not single out women with breast cancer for rechris, period. it covers mammograms earlier than suggested by federal guidelines. some health experts say insurance companies use rescissions to protect profits. they go through their patients trying to find excuses to drop people and when they can find that excuse, they take it. this fall, provisions of the new health reform law will make canceling policies after someone gets sick illegal. for today, lisa myers, nbc news, washington. and now here s lester. here in new york, an amazing new exhibit has just opened on the life and times and treasures of king tut. many of the

going to get a sneak peek coming up. sarah palin made an appearance at to the trial of a former college student who is accused of accessing sarah palin s former e-mail account. kerrey sanders is there. reporter: someone hacked into sarah palin s yahoo account and then all the personal information and photographs began spreading across the internet. now if convicted, the 22-year-old who s accused of breaking into the account could get 50 years in prison. 22-year-old david kernell says it was all a prank, but on friday sarah palin testified it was anything but. she told a federal jury the hacked account was a huge disruption to the campaign as well as her personal life. example, palin s son track deployed to iraq used it as long as he could until it was cut off. and palin said she used the yahoo.com account to stay in touch with her family and to stay in touch with her 16 week old son s baby sitters. palin said if the intention was to disrupt, it was successful. hours after the internet postings in mid-september, palin said her then 17-year-old daughter bristol called to say that she was receiving messages from all over the country and she was scared. access and communication is so extremely important when you re thousands of miles away from your children and you re not in to protect them, they re receiving threatening calls and messages and a mama wants to be there to help the kids, at least be able to communicate with them, so it was a big darn deal to have that communication stripped away. because the yahoo account included e-mail addresses and phone numbers, palin stressed that the entire family handed over their blackberrys and cell. their home in wasilla, alaska did not have a traditional hard line phone so for days she couldn t call them. when you illeg somebody s personal, private mail boxes and disclose the contents to the world, it s not right, it s not legal, it s not fair or decent. reporter: and she said the breach hurt her credibility with john mccain and her advisers. so i told the campaign managers just chill, there s nothing there that s horrible or that will hurt the campaign. reporter: and of course the blogosphere then started publishing all sorts of rumors that sarah palin s husband todd was having an affair, that the fbi was investigating sarah palin, that trip was not her son, palin says none of that was true. and joining us now with more, former prosecutor and nbc legal analyst susan filen. good morning. just how important was sarah palin s testimony to the case and just how much damage did it do to the case? the case couldn t have been made without her, she was the victim in this case and it was very damaging to the defense. she s enormously popular there. palin and her daughter bristol talked be it the serious consequences over the inability to communicate. the defense lawyers saying this was a silly plan, which side s version do you think will be more powerful. palin s is definitely more powerful, even if it was a prank, but the consequences were quite dire to the victim and that s what s going to carry the day in this case. and david kernell could go to prison for up to 50 years. now his defense attorney says, you know what? these charges are too harsh and they have only been brought against him because sarah palin was his victim. any truth to that? well, i think that because of the office that she was running for, i think because of the position that she held, given that she was a public official, that she had a high office at the time, they did go after this kid pretty hard, but i think what the message to the world is that you can t screw around with somebody s privacy and if you do, they are going to throw the book at you so this was set up as an example, it wasn t just per se sarah palin because she s so popular or she s so pretty or because she s on tv, it s because of the office that she holds. if you go after the president, if you go after the vice president and you go after their privacy and you can bring this country down, that s why they did it. what are the typical consequences for someone who hacks into another person s i mail who isn t famous or who doesn t have some sort of public platform. you know how frustrated we all have been, there s identity theft and there s not much you can do, so i think we have all seen that our privacy has been violated and not too much happens, that s why this case is so important, the government s sending a message, you can t mess around with the internet and get away with it. in this case there are going to be strong consequences particularly if he s convicted. now for a check of the weather let s head outside to bill karins, good morning bill. what a wonderful crowd we have out here today. you guys are twins, right. yes. would your parents say you were a trick or a good saturday morning. i am news4 meteorologist, chuck bell. your weekend off to a dry spot in many spots, but there are

damage control, a big mopup this morning in the middle of the ocean as the search is suspended for 11 workers missing after that oil rig disaster. and top dog, a german shepard guides a lost trooper through confusing back roads to the scene of a fire raging at his owner s property. we ll meet the family and their hero buddy. today saturday, april 24, 2010. welcome back, everyone, i m lester holt. and i m amy robach. we see arizona leading the way in immigration reform, but many are asking is it the right direction? the governor of arizona has signed that bill giving police super new power to crack down on illegal immigration in the state. she did so just hours after president obama said the measure was misguided. this new law puts immigration back in the center of conversation in this country. and we re going to head to new orleans as the cleanup is underway after this oil rig explosion earlier in the week, this as the search has been suspended for 11 workers lost in that explosion. and then in our couples keeping secrets series. it may seem easy to hide things online, but the internet and your computer keep everything and it can make it a lot easier to get caught so we re talking about internet infidelity. and in a few minutes we re going to hear from the family whose dog was a best friend indeed. we re standing by with buddy and a trooper that led buddy to the fire, our exclusive interview in just a few minutes. but first that tough new law on immigration in arizona. jose, good morning. reporter: good morning, lester, you know, hispanic groups here in arizona and throughout the country are t trying to figure out now how to regroup and react to this very tough immigration law and some groups are saying maybe they will start organizing boycotts that in some way reflect the hispanic community s anger as to what occurred here yesterday when the governor jan brewer signed this very tough law because a lot of hispanics say that they are the victims of racial profiling before the law takes effect this summer. jose, arizona notes that they have a special issue because of their proximity to mexico, is there any sense that this will be a ground swell that could spread to other states, other states considering similar legislation? reporter: absolutely, that s certainly the concerns that some organizations have about this law, but there s two sides to this issue, the fact of the matter is that there are a lot of people in arizona and throughout the country that feel that the immigration laws in this country have been essentially ineffective, that the border is tremendous porous, farmers and ranchers in the border area will tell you that there is no way to stop people from coming through their land, they don t know who they are, they don t know where they re going and they fear for their personal security. so there are two sides of this issue and the hispanic community has been demanding that president obama stand up and do something, not just talk, but rather do something because we in the hispanic community remember very well that president obama as a candidate promised that if he won the election and he got 67% of the hispanic vote, within his first 100 days would tackle immigration reform and later that was changed to within the first year of his administration, neither one of those two promises were kept. jose, good to have you here and we know you ll have special coverage from arizona coming up later this morning on telemundo. 11:30. authorities have suspended their search for 11 workers missing since that oil rig exploded and sank earlier this week. but they continue their efforts to contain a big oil slick in the area. nbc s anne thompson has the latest from new orleans. anne, good morning. reporter: good morning, amy. officials are focusing on two issues today, first of all, as you mentioned, it s trying to contain that oil slick which is at times has been up to 100 square miles big. in the gulf of mexico and they re doing that three ways, they re using booms, they re sending chemical dispersants from planes to bead up the oil on the water and then they re taking skimmer boats to remove it. and then the other thing they are focusing on today is they re trying to find the oil rig that sank on thursday. they don t know where it is, it is partially buoyant and they hope that when they do find the deep water horizon, it will give them some clues as to what happened on tuesday that caused that mobile drilling rig to go up in flames. amy? all right, anne thompson with the latest, thank you. we want to head over to the news desk for another check of the headlines. we begin in virginia where 11 suspected somali pirates have been indicted. they re indicted for a the suspects were held on a military ship until thursday when they were flown to virginia to appear in federal court. in utah a convicted murder has chosen to be put to death by firing squad instead of lethal injection. ronnie gardner has been on death row for 30 years. utah is the only one that offers the firing squad option. the judge accepted his choice and the execution is set for june. doctors in barcelona, spain say they have performed the first ever face transplant in the world. they released the mri image of what the face looked like before the transplant. the surgery lasted a full 24 hours and 30 doctors took part in the operation. sarah palin was in court friday, the former alaska governor testified in the trial of a college student accused of breaking into her e-mail account back in 2008. personal information in that account then wound up all over the internet. david kernell is charged in several accounts including identity theft, if convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison. nbc celebrity apprentice contestant brett michaels is in the hospital this morning. michaels had an emergency and appendectomy nearly two weeks ago but it s unrelated whether it s related to his collapse. delighted the audience at the davies simpymphony hall in francisco. i like that fire squad story, i wonder if this will inspire people to choose ever changer methods of execution. why do they have so many choices in so many locations. who knows what s on the books in some states, you can can choose. nbc meteorologist bill karins has a check on the forecast this morning. davy crockett high school, what s the best thing about tennessee? the mountains. you re supposed to say this the group of people. a good saturday morning, everybody. the skies are mostly cloudy now and temperatures are in the mid to high 50s across the area. 55 in annapolis, and 56 in ashburn and sterling this morning. not a lot of rain to get your saturday morning started, but more rain is on the way for later this afternoon, this evening and overnight tonight. today s highs will hold in the . and i have to say hi to all my friends here from maine. winslow, beautiful on the coast there. bill, thanks very much. he wasn t just a good dog, he was a great dog, a german shepard in alaska named buddy. when a fire broke out in his home, buddy led the way for a state trooper who was having trouble finding the place in the winding snowy roads. joining us this morning from anchorage are buddy, along with ben, lynn and thomas hendrick, they re there with trooper ted shannigan, thanks for joining us this morning. you were there at the house t fire broke out in the nearby workshop, you called 911, but i assume it s a pretty hard place to find? well, it s a hard place to find, but it s easy for us knowing where we re at. luckily, our trooper shannigan is a resident of the area back there. so that was a benefit to us. and also buddy was a great benefit guiding trooper shannigan. so it s a big benefit to have him back there. it s a terrific picture to watch the dog, i m going to bring on the trooper in just a moment. but ben you were actually in the workshop, i understand some chemicals ignited the gas heater, i understand that s how the fire started. you were burned a little bit? i got second degree burns on my hands and face. you rescued buddy because you realized buddy was inside, you opened the door, did you tell the dog to go get help or did he just take off on his own? after i got him out, i said we need to get help, and he took off. he takes off and trooper shannigan, you re on the road, you re looking for this address, i know your gps froze up, there s a lot of back roads there, you see the dog, what was it that made you think that, i should follow this dog? it was body language. and just at that moment, i felt like the dog was telling me to follow. he gave me a look and started to kind of lead me down another road and that s when i just committed to the dog and for that brief minute or so, minute and a half, just felt like the dog was communicating with me and encouraging me to continue to follow. as we watch the tape, there are a few moments where he stops, looks over his shoulder at you as if to say come on this way and he makes some turns. this takes about a minute, and you become more committed to the idea that this dog is going to take you to the fire, right? yeah, and every time i would slow down buddy would kind of look over his shoulder and actually on a couple of occasions was turning around to really give me a look wonderi i why i was slowing down so when he would speed up, i would speed up. it wasn t quite a chase game, but if i looked like i was not going to continue following, he definitely would give me a look over his shoulder and say, come on, let s go. that s an amazing shot when the dog turns and you see the fire there. lynne when you saw the tape of buddy leading him to the fire, what was your first reaction? it was quite an unbelievable moment that he actually did that for us and for ben especially. it put everything in perspective of what this dog is capable of. and it proves that a dog s best friend probably is his dog and buddy and ben are very close. and he was there to protect ben and to protect our home. and tom, we don t want to leave you out of this, you were out of town at the time, you come home and they re telling you this story, are you buying any of this or are you just shaking your head? when lynette first told me about this, i was pretty skeptical, but then after watching the video and listening to trooper shanniga s story, and he knows dogs himself because he has sled dogs and i think it s all true after watching it and hearing him talk and hearing the story. we appreciate you all coming in this morning and sharing with us. thanks to all of you. you re welcome. thank you. we ll be right back after mess messages. erase all those little voices in your head that say, look at that wrinkle.

[ slurping ] this morning on our series couples keeping secrets your online history from the sites you visit to the people you e-mail and chat with, some couples have found that the internet can quickly become a tangled web of deceit. we were married for 25 years and we have two children. reporter: for this recent divorcee who wanted to remain anonymous, the secret began unraveling. he didn t hear me and he had porn on the computer. reporter: her husband was one of the 43% of all internet users who view pornography online, but his pornography use just scratched the surface. he would get up in the middle of the night and go down and take the lap top and go downstairs and he told me he was doing work. reporter: his suspicious activity led her to check his e-mails and led to another disturbing secret. i picked up the blackberry and i looked at it and i saw all these e-mails from this woman and i walked downstairs with it and said, you re busted it. . reporter: e-mail and the internet have opened the door for an age of digital infidelity. if someone has a shopping addiction or is handling money in an odd way there, s gambling, basically anything that you can do that you feel your partner will not accept. reporter: but while the web puts these things at your fingertips, it also makes the secrets much harder to hide. there s paper trails on everything, text messages, twitter, facebook, photos, everybody knows each other and everybody knows somebody that knows somebody that knows your business. reporter: a recent british study found that in 20% of marriages, at least one partner had checked their spouse s browser history on the computer. you think when you re sitting in front of the screen or you re holding your phone, it s yours and you can do whatever you want during that private moment. but what we re learning is that nothing is really a that private. and here with more insight on all of this is r.g. allen, director of clinical training for drexel university s couples and family therapy. and executive director of wired safety.org. and r.g., you re a couples therapist so how big of a problem has a partner s online activity become in marriages, is it a growing problem? it s absolutely a growing problem, and years ago you didn t have this problem, because when you cheated, everybody knew, it was cut and dry. but now i like to call it going down that slippery slope and there s infinite opportunities in cyberspace to have secrets and you have to ask yourself if i wouldn t want my partner to be doing this, chances are you shouldn t be doing it. where do we draw the line. the question is whether they re getting into your heart or your computer or into your bed. aside from the physical connection, if you have an emotional connection, if you have a time connection, that hurts the marriage. and an emotional connection can lead to a physical connection. we are more people who leave their families to meet someone they are meeting shopping addictions, gambling, these can have other implications and lead to other addictions that can affect the marriage as well? your money, where you re going, who you re giving it to, the online gambling site you re going to and losing your family inheritance and the money you re going to retire on. people do things online, because they k it s easy and they do it in the middle of the night and their spouses won t find out until it s too late. do you advocate that partners share pass words with each other so everything is out in the open? for some people they have that conversation and they have that conversation on the front end, which means that they don t burn on the back end. but for some couples, they re not willing to do that, but if they re not, that s okay, but they need to have a conversation about it so they know what the expectations. how much privacy should you feel entitled to in a relationship. i think there s a difference between secrecy and privacy. you have to ask yourself, are these is this information something that i really don t want to share with my partner and how do we talk about that effectively. we know that there are ways to keep tabs on your partner. what are the legal issues there? digital spying, you can do it with a trojan horse that goes on like a virus or you can just pick up the cell phone when they re not looking. but bottom line, if someone finds out, if you re not facing a court, you re going to facing a partner. don t share your password with anybody because when you break up, they re going to get into your accounts and do a lot of damage. i have read that once you press send, it s out there. thanks so much for joining us, we appreciate it. and we ll be right back, bu still to come on today jillian michaels knows a thing or two about losing weight. and wait until you try some of the best microbrews in america, we re going to have a really tough taste test with phil lambert. but first these messages. - i m right here. and i always will be. male announcer: this mother s day, surround her with the strength of love s embrace from kay jewelers. one more reason kay is the number one jewelry store in america. it is overcast and cool outside in the d.c. area. if you are planning to do anything outside you might want to do it now, rain is on the way. good morning, everybody. i am kimberly suiters. a suspect in the mass shoot something apparently cooperating with authorities big time. court papers describe a well orchestrated time line of the murder. the brother of the bracelet s brother, orlando carter, was shot. and prosecutors claim on the night on march 30th, carter ordered his men to steal nelson s gun, and instead they shot him. minutes later they carried out the drive-by on capital street, and then after a chase they were captured. prosecutors did drop charges against a 14-year-old. detectives are looking for a fifth suspect, jeffrey best. be prepared for metro delays because of track work again this weekend. expect up to 40-minute delays on the red, blue and orange lines. and crews will replace old tracks with new ones. you may want to give yourself extra time if you are going to the national s game today and tomorrow. and bring your own umbrella. 8:29. chuck we said to bring your umbrella to the nat s game. yeah, a poncho always a good idea for the ball game. should be able to get the game in today, but it will be a close call. there are showers already on this saturday morning. and temperatures are in the mid to high 50s at this point. showers on i-95, and more showers in the mountains of west virginia. rain is part of the forecast for today, although not a complete washout today. better chances of showers with rumbled of thunder as we get into tomorrow. keep that in mind. a full hour and a half of news, weather and sports coming up. now we will send you back to the today show. now we re back on this saturday morning, april 24, 2010, it s a cool, breezy morning here on the plaza, but our thanks to the great people who are spending their morning with us. coming up in this next half hour, inside the biggest loser ranch. since about 2004, about 200 contestants have visited the ranch there to workout and lose weight, combined amount of weight lost, 18,000 pounds, and the lady who whips them into shape, julian michaels tells us we don t have to go to the ranch to adopt healthy eating and workout styles. we probably newhen you were vancouver, we did beer tasting from the winter olympics, we got a lot of e-mail from viewers, everyone was asking us for a taste of the microbreweries here in the united states. so phil lambert is on tap with us for that, coming up in just a few minutes and apparently he s going to be a little light-headed. somehow i think he s done that before. or if it is, wait until i get up there. a good saturday morning. i am news4 meteorologist, chuck bell. we are getting a sliver of sunshine first thing this morning, but there are plenty of clouds out there and rain as well that will be part of the temperatures in the mid-50s at this point in time. here is a look at live doppler. and also down into st. mary s county as well. have your umbrellas to go. and rain is more likely as we get into this afternoon and evening. inns s hit show biggest loser is in its ninth season. and contestants have lost almost 1,700 pounds. julian michaels is author of master your metabolism cookbook. we re about halfway through the season and we have seen some of the most dramatic weight loss ever. my mom was, oh, did you see this last night? but who has surprised you the most on the show this season? definitely ashley, here s a girl that fell off the treadmill day one, i thought for sure she wasn t going to make it through the first week, and i don t want to give anything away, but she s just had a complete 180 turn around and i m so impressed with how far she s come. and there s been a lot of drama on this season, there was melissa who might have thrown a weigh in, some major events going on in the contestants lives, o neill and michael s grandmother. how much does that get in the way of the contestant s ability to lose weight? i think it s important that when they re going through emotional issues, there were some deaths in the contestant s families, you re there to help teach them how to cope. that s life. exactly. so it s good that they re dealing with it on the ranch so we can help them cope with those things so they re not turning to food and they re finding more constructive ways to nurture themselves when they re in pain. and you have some great advice for those who aren t on the show to master our metabolism. what are the benefits other than losing weight when you master metabolism. your entire body is hormone balanced, certain foods can damage your hormone balance, age you more rapidly and other foods can actually heal the property, have medicinal properties and the foods that you choose and in what quantity is determine your overall health. we have got some examples of food we re talking about. there s a big misconception out there that you re stuck with the metabolism you re born with. yes, but the first thing you want to do is removed processed foods, but organic dairy, ocean cod salmon, these are just a few examples, leafy greens, nuts, all these things work for your metabolism. how does it make a difference how and when you eat? spacing out your meals every four hours can help to stabilize blood sugar, the combination of proteins, carbs and fat can also help you balance your hormones. you have heard about insulin, it s very important that you get an equal amount of those macronutrients. and your book tells us how to put all these foods together in to actual meals, but you start with this muffin. the muffin is sweetened with honey instead of sugar, it s made with yogurt instead of butter. this does everything from help fight cancer to boost heart health, it s a superfood and muffin. and lunch i see avocados and tomatoes. a little bit of onion, a little bit of organic cheese. this will literally handle almost every health issue you have in the body. and for dinner you have roasted salmon and sweet potatoes which i have now fallen in love with versus mashed potatoes. it actually helps put healthy estrogen levels back in check. and the salmon is made with accumulate minute, which is great for dige digestation d chun. when your skin looks better you feel better. completely. you got a brownie on this?

it s actually made in battle creek. and this has the largest amount of alcohol in it. that s 10% alcohol. so it goes from about 6% alcohol to 10% alcohol. it tastes almost like carmel. exactly. very good. the way you re supposed to pour beer is like this and then you turn it so you get a big head on it. and this is the ace of spades. and what i like about microbreweries, the people really care about the craft, this is organic and it s actually certified organic by oregon tilt which has a lot more stringent standards than the usda does. can you buy these? it depends, you re not going to find all of these in the supermarket, but certainly a good store, and also go to their websites. this is also from hub, this is their india pale ale. can we have some nachos or something? we need something. julian michaels was here, she wouldn t let me do that. but behave to have her try some of these as well. this is totally naked, nothing artificial in it. and this is a much lighter one. so this one is, especially summertime. lighter color, but also lighter in its body. yes, and lighter in alcohol. that s very refreshing. this is the one that i was chugging before. seriously? it s 8:30 in the morning. i thought you left. seriously? seriously? i want to do the totally naked. this is a new one? yep. first you ve got to take a whip of the aroma. oh, wow. what you don t know is when jillian was leaving the studio, i said i have a great idea for biggest loser. i was going to come in and bust your chops for drinking at 8:30 in the morning. this one is one of my favorites, the dog fish. and this actually you want to swirl it the same way you have wine and this also has some notes of scotch to it. so try this one. notes of scotch? we re totally taking jillian to the dark side. i have a home there. i ve got property on the dark side. try it and let us know what you think. that s very masculine. yeah. that one s better. would you ever allow as part of your diet, light beer, maybe? i m not going to put you on the spot. everything in moderation. i think that you just want to work it into a calorie controlled diet. and actually dark beer has some health benefits. it s balance. i would think that even would agree that eight glasses of beer in the morning is not moderation. that s why i came in to give you a hard time. also when you think about some of the beers from england, guinness is actually very nourishing. there s a reason that you can find to do anything. guinness is great for you. fun to taste, not great for a zit. exactly. phil weber and you, thanks for joining us. up next, planting do more with spring today is brought to you by the home depot, more savings, more doing, that s the power of the home depot. it s spring again this morning on do more with spring today, planting your own vegetable garden, if you have ever thought about growing your own food, now is the time to get started and here to show you how to do it right is mike cardoza from home depot. we should talk about the benefits of growing your own vegetables, there s quite a few. first and foremost is money. there are estimates that if you spend $50 on seeds, that could end up producing over $1,200 in vegetables. so huge savings, we have all bought tomatoes at the store, you get them home and they taste like a paper towel. there s nothing like walking out your backdoor and picking a fruit or a vegetable as opposed to a truck traveling across the country. how do you decide which vegetables to plant in your guarded and when you should put them in the ground? it s based on where you live in the country, you have a last frost date, it s in every gardening book, and then different vegetables like to be planted at different times based on that frost date. certain things like onions and spinach or cold hardy plants, you plant them as soon as you can get them in the dirt. there are things like broccoli and cucumbers that are really cool season plants, they can take a light frost, so right around the time of that last frost, you want to get them in the ground and then warm season vegetables like corn and tomatoes. where do you pick the spot to do it. all vegetables like a lot of sun. so find a part of the yard with a lot of sunshine. the soil, you want to work with the soil so there s good drainage, you never want to have standing water, so you want damp but not wet. and we also want to talk about how to protect and design your garden, obviously you ve got deer and rabbits can really wreak havoc, so this is a good idea right here. we want to mention this raised bed because this is a composite material called frame it all it s a composite of wood and polly ethylene, you can put it anywhere. if you have bad soil in your yard, you bring in new soil and you can stack these up on top of each other, if you re a senior citizen and you have a bad back or bad knees, and you really can t crawl around the garden, you can sit on a bucket or a stool once you plant the plants, you don t want the rabbits and the deer eating them so this is just a deer mesh to protect them. one key that people don t realize, i want to mention, you want to plant east to west, and the reason is, if the sun is rising on the east and these are going north and south, taller plants can cast a shadow on the shorter plants. so if you do east to west, as the sun rises the sun is rising parallel to the rows and they re going to get full sun throughout the day. we ll be right back, but first these messages. and our thinking a little greener. let s grab all the bags and all the plants and all the latest tools out there. so we can turn all these savings into more colorful shades of doing. more saving. more doing. that s the power of the home depot. right now at the home depot, buy one packet seeds get one free. for only $2.50, get a western egg white muffin melt, made-to-your-order, and add a 16-oz. cup. of freshly brewed seattle s best coffee. try the new $2.50 breakfast combo at subway. try the new $2.50 breakfast combo at subway. vegetables are naturally low in calories. v8 jui gives you 3 of your 5 daily servings. it s a tasty, nutritious way to make this number go up. and help this one go down. v8. what s your number?
