THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: It's February 5 and you're watching CNN LIVE SATURDAY. From the CNN Global Headquarters in Atlanta, I'm Carol Lin and here's what's happening right now in the news.
Condoleezza Rice is in Turkey, reassuring that nation that the U.S. will not support a Kurdish separatist power in Iraq. Turkish leaders worry if Kurds get more power in Iraq; Kurds in Turkey would want the same. Condoleezza Rice is touring Europe and the Middle East.

It's been a deadly day for Iraqi security forces. A road side bomb exploded near an Iraqi army patrol in Basra, killing four soldiers. Earlier, eight Iraqi police commandos were found dead near Baghdad, seven shot and one beheaded.

And rescue teams are trying to reach the wreckage of an Afghan passenger jet. It crashed on a domestic flight two days ago in rough, mountainous terrain. Of the 104 people on board, at least three were Americans. Afghan officials say it is not likely anyone survived.

Pope John Paul II is reportedly feeling better. A bishop who saw him in the hospital today says the pontiff wants to get back to work. The Vatican says the pope will give a traditional blessing tomorrow from the hospital bed though an aide will read his longer address.

We begin tonight with Super Bowl security. It is going to be extraordinarily tight. More than 50 law enforcement agencies have been planning for 18 months, working to keep tomorrow's game free from danger and terrorism. CNN's Susan Candiotti is live in Jacksonville with the latest on security preparations.

Susan, how's it going?

SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hello, Carol. Well, it's very chilly this evening and we can tell you that a Jacksonville man earlier this week was arrested for allegedly making a Super Bowl threat. Other than that, we are not aware of any other major problems.

Now, among those 50 law enforcement agencies assigned to Super Bowl security is Customs and Border Protection. Two of its pilots gave us an inside look at what they do.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK, on the left side, you're going to see the B-3 coming in. CANDIOTTI (voice-over): For these two veteran pilots in the cockpit, guarding the air space around the Super Bowl is a mission unlike any other.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Why? This is the greatest sports event we have in the United States and we're protecting that event and we're protecting the American people.

CANDIOTTI: For security reasons, the Customs and Border Protection Black hawk pilots prefer to be known only by their first names, Chris and Rob.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And I hope that the spectators at the Super Bowl have a great time and enjoy themselves. And I hope they don't even realize we're there.

Advertising blimps and planes doting banners over and near the stadium welcome come game time. Not the usual targets these pilots deal with when protecting the White House or world economic summits. Now they're securing a 30 mile no-fly zone over Alltel stadium.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) you put in the left right over?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, left side, left side.

CANDIOTTI: Chris and Rob took us up for a dry run.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Here, Susan, in life, there's always somebody who doesn't get it.

CANDIOTTI: If forewarned pilots don't get it, they'll be tracked, radioed, ordered out, and possibly forced to land for questioning. Surveillance planes are working with a mobile air traffic control center tucked inside this Customs Double Eagle P-3. It tracks all aircraft within a 25-0-mile radius. Much of the attention will be directed at the stadium where last minute security run throughs and half time show preparations are underway. The view is impressive.

(on camera): What are you thinking about as you see they're making this final preparations?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All of the measures that we're taken, all of the precautions that we're taking, it should we be adequate enough to present an event.

CANDIOTTI (voice-over): Prevent an event such as an attack. The fly-overs will watch for suspicious activity throughout the area, around seven cruise ships acting as floating hotels and other outdoor venues including a water front entertainment district.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I would describe it as vigilance. We are prepared to deal with any situation that arises.

(END VIDEOTAPE) CANDIOTTI: The hope is no situation will come up, but if it does, police say they'll be ready to react -- Carol.

LIN: Susan, how many people are expected in that immediate vicinity for the Super Bowl?

CANDIOTTI: At least 100,000 or so. And of course, the crowds were not -- were fewer earlier in the week because of all of the bad weather, but they have been growing steadily, and they expect a huge crowd, of course, tomorrow.

LIN: You bet. It sounds like you've got a huge crowd behind you. What's going on?

CANDIOTTI: Well, more pre Super Bowl game parties, and they start now -- actually they start in the morning and they last all night long, into the wee hours of the morning as you can imagine, Carol.

LIN: As I can imagine. All right, Susan Candiotti, stay safe and have a good time. Thanks.

Please be sure to watch CNN's "AMERICAN MORNING" on Monday for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at security operations during tomorrow's Super Bowl. CNN has been granted exclusive access to the command center in Jacksonville as well as all the law enforcement agencies that will be protecting people during tomorrow's game, so don't miss this exclusive, all access report only on CNN's "AMERICAN MORNING" on Monday starting at 7:00 Eastern.

In the meantime, stay tuned to CNN day and night for the most reliable news about your security. In fact, later in this broadcast, we're going to have a live report from Jacksonville on the match up for tomorrow's big game and we're going to take a closer look at some Super Bowl ads that you are going to see and those you won't.

In the meantime, we're going to move on to other security concerns, social security to be exact. President Bush today devoted part of his weekly radio address to his plan to overhaul the program. CNN's Elaine Quijano is live at the White House with details on that.

Good evening, Elaine.

ELAINE QUIJANO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good evening to you, Carol. That's right. President Bush in his weekly radio address echoed what he said earlier this week, that he believes social security insolvency is a looming problem and that lawmakers should act now to fix it. But people on both sides of the aisle are having reservations.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

QUIJANO (voice-over): In the battle to overhaul social security, President Bush knows full well the political stakes are high.

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: It used to be called the third rail of American politics. If you touched it, you would be shocked, sometimes shocked out of politics.

QUIJANO: But the idea of touching the third rail makes some Republicans nervous. They need to get reelected, the president doesn't.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He does have to assure conservatives that Republicans can address this issue without getting beaten up in the polls. He also has to show Democrats that he is truly concerned about the future of social security.

QUIJANO: The president's move to frame the debate over social security appears to be working. A new poll by "Newsweek" magazine shows most Americans, 65 percent, agree with him that social security faces a funding crisis. Twenty-six percent disagree. Yet, they were split on the president's ideas for changing the system. Twenty-six percent favor them, 36 percent are opposed, and 30 percent said they were not aware of the proposals.

To raise that awareness, this week, the president embarked on a post State of the Union road trip through five states to sell his idea.

BUSH: It's your money that's going into the social security trust. You're working and you're paying the payroll taxes. And I think some of that money ought to go into a retirement account.

QUIJANO: But Democrats and seniors are digging in for a fight.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Democrats are unified. Democrats are ready for this fight.

SEN. BYRON DORGAN (D), NORTH DAKOTA: There's not anything that I'm aware of that would persuade me that we should borrow 1 to $3 trillion, cut social security benefits, stick the borrowed money in the stock market and think that'll be good for the country or good for senior citizens. It will not be.

QUIJANO: The president isn't getting a free pass from his own party either. Some conservatives within the GOP, like Indiana congressman, Mike Pence, believe the president's plan should go further, not just allowing four percent of your wages to be invested but six percent.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

QUIJANO: Now, the only deal breakers President Bush has mentioned, he doesn't want to raise payroll taxes and he has also promised to not change benefits for those at or near requirement age. But Carol, other than that, the president says he's open to all other ideas, clearly, leaving the ball in Congress' court.

LIN: A lot could change. Thanks very much. Elaine Quijano live at the White House.

I want to tell you about a gruesome investigation which is underway right now in Huntsville, Alabama. Please there have charged a woman with killing her three children. Their bodies were found in an apartment yesterday and police say they are waiting on autopsies to reveal when and how the children died. The victims, ages 8, 9, and 11 had not shown up for school in weeks.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Huntsville police questioned the mother, questioned family members. The children had not returned to Ridgecrest Elementary School at the time after school break. The Department of Human Resources did respond and talk -- trying to get to the mother but she would not go to the door. Meanwhile, family members had not seen the children for a while.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: Police say the children's' father did not live with the woman and he has also been questioned in this case. We've got much more on that story coming up in our primetime show at 10:00 tonight Eastern.

In the meantime, the search is over in another disturbing case. A couple accused of torturing and starving children in their care is now behind bars. CNN's Jason Bellini reports.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JASON BELLINI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Police in Utah Friday evening arrested Linda and John Dollar. Both are wanted in Florida on charges of aggravated child abuse and torture of their five of their seven foster children.

CAPT. JIM CERNICH, CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: They combed the area and were just about ready to shut down operations when they spotted the vehicle. They stopped the Dollars on the roadway and then arrested them and took them to the county jail.

BELLINI: Friday morning the sheriff's department in Beverly Hills, Florida, revealed the gruesome details of what the children say went on inside their home. The Dollars alleged used electric shock on the children, forced them to sleep in a closet, chained them to walls, pulled their toenails out with pliers, and left them severely malnourished.

GAIL TIERNEY, CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: I've seen pictures of the children that have been, you know, taken in connection with this case. And you know, I mean, they have very sweet faces but when you look at their bodies, I mean, it looks like Auschwitz.

BELLINI: The investigation began January 21. Paramedics responded to a 911 call. They discovered a 16-year-old boy, bruised, bleeding, and weighing only 59 pounds. It wasn't until six days later that Florida's Department of Children and Families recovered the other six children, including twin 14-year-old boys weighing 36 and 38 pounds. Child advocates are questioning why it took so long.

KAREN GIEVERS, CHILD ADVOCATE: There's no excuse for leaving children in danger under the circumstances that we're hearing about.

BELLINI: Governor Jeb Bush says the children were not on record with Florida's foster care system and the agency acted swiftly to remove the children.

GOV. JEB BUSH (R), FLORIDA: It's just tragic that parents, in this case, adoptive parents; these are parents that received these kids under adoption in the early 1990's, would do what they did.

BELLINI: The Dollars and their adopted children had lived for a couple of years in Knoxville, Tennessee and then moved back to Florida. The woman who leased the house to them said the children never played outside.

JEAN UNDERWOOD, REAL ESTATE AGENT: And there were seven children and they tell me they were from homes in Florida, that they were mistreated and they were -- it was a foster care deal of some kind.

BELLINI (on camera): Jean Underwood also told us that on her visits to the Dollar household something seemed very strange there. The children were virtually silent. They never played outside. She was looking for a reason to call child protective services, but she never found one.

Jason Bellini, CNN, Knoxville, Tennessee.

LIN: When CNN LIVE SATURDAY returns...

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JIM BUTLER, FATHER OF SGT. JAKE BUTLER: Jake knew he wasn't coming back, but he still went forward. So to me, that's beyond honor.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: ...on the front lines tonight, a determined father braves danger in Iraq to keep a promise to his fallen son.

And many have fallen through the cracks when it comes to health care, but now one program aims to cure the ills of the Latino community.

And holy smokes, for many Cubans, it's the essence of their existence. But now new laws are snuffing out stogies.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Every week during this program, we bring your personal stories from the front lines. Well, today, we're going to take a poignant look at how a Kansas father is coping with loss. To keep a promise, he went halfway around the world to find the spot where his son was killed. Our Jonathan Freed has his story.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JONATHAN FREED, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Jake Butler was born in this small town. A quarter century later, he would die in another, half a world away.

BUTLER: He got a Silver Star, a Bronze Star. He's got the Clover, Purple Heart.

FREED: Army Sergeant Jacob Butler was the first person from Kansas killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom in the opening days of the war, shot in the head by Iraqi forces on April 1, 2003. It's been almost two years, but for Jake's father, Jim, too often, it feels like yesterday.

BUTLER: You learn to deal with it or you learn to cope with it. But deep down, if you open you up, it's laying right there.

FREED: People tend to share each other's pain in a small down. In Welsville, it's especially so.

(on camera): This is a town of about 1,500 people and right now there are 61 of them serving in uniform. Do the math and that comes out to about four percent of the town's population or one out of every 25 people.

BUTLER: It kind of sends chills down your spine, doesn't it, when you think about it there. I don't know what they strongly believe in.

FREED (voice-over): The names are proudly on display at the public library where they say a third are now serving in Iraq. Jake's name is set apart from the rest. And his father says Jake knew it would be, explaining his son was convinced he wasn't coming home.

Jim Butler has channeled some of his grief into a book he's writing about his son's sacrifice, titled "Beyond Honor."

BUTLER: Jake knew he wasn't coming back, but he still went forward. To me, that's beyond honor. He went beyond honor. OK.

FREED: Six months after Jake's death, his father set out on his own dangerous mission, to visit the place in Iraq where his son was killed.

BUTLER: I was looking at fulfilling a promise I made to Jake and it was the last promise I made him. And I was going to do whatever it took to keep it.

FREED: After arriving in Kuwait, Butler says the military tried at first to turn him away. But when they saw his determination, the Army organized a mission and flew him to Samawa (ph), Iraq, a small town by the Euphrates River. One of the soldiers escorting Butler took this video for him, as a father confronted his demons, playing his son's favorite songs at the spot where Jake died.

BUTLER: When I did go to Iraq, I did find somewhat of a peace where Jake was killed at. He made a difference in a little town maybe even for just a short time. At least I feel that he still made a difference there in that town.

FREED: Despite his family's fears before the trip, Jim Butler was convinced his fate would be different from his son's.

BUTLER: I had no doubts that I was coming home.

FREED: Now he hopes the milestone of the Iraqi elections will mean the troops can soon start coming home.

BUTLER: Jake gave his life for them to have freedom for even a short time then maybe it was worth it. But I mean it wasn't worth losing Jake, but it was worth what they were out to do, it was what they were out to accomplish.

FREED: Butler prays that when all of Welsville's soldiers come home, Jake's name will still be the only one in the library window set apart from the rest.

Jonathan Freed, CNN, Welsville, Kansas.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LIN: A father as brave as his son.

Well, a crowded airport. We're going to show you a picture you're not going to believe, a place where countless strangers are gathering, and a perfect place to live. Straight ahead, we're going to follow two men who try to help those who have made the airport their home.

Also, an admission of guilt. Football players fess up to using steroids. These are not college students. They are much younger.

Plus, the stars are out in Los Angeles for the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Sibila Vargas out there, too -- Sibila.

SIBILA VARGAS, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: That's right. The champagne has been popped and the celebrations are underway. We'll give you a sneak peek when CNN LIVE SATURDAY continues.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: The thing that adds so much suspense to the Screen Actors Guild Awards -- there's Nicolas Cage arriving, by the way, live on our air. It looked like Nicholas Cage. At any rate, the thing about the Screen Actor's Guild Awards, it's -- that makes it so suspenseful is that is actors voting and then honoring for other actors. So who knows what they're going to come up with. The Screen Actors Guild is bestowing honors for television and film acting in a program that's going to be telecast on our sister network, TNT, live. The hosts and all the hopefuls and other people who are arriving are taking their places in Los Angeles' Shrine Expedition Center.

And some of the stars of both big and small screen are treading the red carpet right now and hoping to be called onto the stage tonight. CNN entertainment correspondent Sibila Vargas is there right now.

Sibila, I was calling a shot there. Was that Nicolas Cage or not?

VARGAS: Am I having fun, is that what you're asking? I'm sorry. I can't hear you.

LIN: No problem...

VARGAS: I think you -- I mean -- well, you know, you were talking about some people who might be getting awards today. Well, you know, Jamie Foxx is definitely a person who has been nominated, four nominations. He's got two nominations for his work in "Ray," and one nomination for his work in "Collateral," for a supporting actor and one in "Redemption."

But hold on a second. I am about to get -- I am about to get a live guest. Oh, there you are. Hello, how are you, Antonio? How are you? Oh, Ricardo, (UNINTELLIGIBLE)?

Now, this gentleman plays Eva Longoria's husband in "Desperate Housewives." And you've just popped the champagne, yes?

RICARDO ANTONIO CHAVIRA, "CARLOS", "DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES": Just popped the champagne, you know. And they introduced me to these nice ladies and I'm just like -- feeling like, you know, it's a great day for a great Mexican man. What can I say?

VARGAS: What a way to open up the celebration.

CHAVIRA: I was like; I'm going to be standing with who? That's great.

VARGAS: And you get along a beautiful woman almost every day, at least every Sunday night.

CHAVIRA: She's all right. Now, Eva's wonderful. She's -- I mean hands down, one of the most beautiful women I've ever met and had the pleasure to work with. So...

VARGAS: Congratulations on getting nominated. The show got nominated in the Best Ensemble cast. Your show getting nominated, "Desperate Housewives."

CHAVIRA: Yes, it's amazing. You know it's kind of funny because I had no -- you know I don't think any of us had any idea that we're going to have all these, you know, award considerations and what not. So you know everybody made other plans like in advance and now it's like you're having to like reschedule flights and it's getting crazy.

VARGAS: And here you are with these two beautiful women drinking champagne.

CHAVIRA: And they've got these nice necklaces on, their Baccarat jewelry, which are actually being auctioned off and the proceeds will benefit the SAG, the Screen Actors Guild Foundation.

VARGAS: Now, what is it about the show that you think resonated with so many people, millions really?

CHAVIRA: I mean, you know, five beautiful women is a good start. But I think it's just, you know, that although it is kind of hyper realty that, you know, so many beautiful women living on the same block, I think there are a lot of threads within the writing and then also within the performance that strike a chord with regards to very realistic situations that are going on and certain dysfunctional relationships all across America. And I think, you know, people tune in because it's like I'd rather laugh at someone else's dirty laundry than my own.

VARGAS: Well, we certainly know a lot of women are watching. Be honest with me, are your guy friends watching too?

CHAVIRA: You know there are a lot of guys watching, supposedly. And I think that -- I think that if they actually kind of looked at -- I wonder if they looked at the numbers, how many man that are watching are actually watching with a wife or a significant other, you know, so that they can both kind of laugh together and like, well, at least, you know, our relationship isn't like that, and then, you know, maybe have -- spark up some interesting conversation about their own relationship.

VARGAS: Yes. You know reality shows were such a buzz for such a long time, but then here comes "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" and all of a sudden we're talking about scripted programming again.

CHAVIRA: Well, and the thing is is like with reality, it's all of a sudden is as voyeuristic as it could be. You're kind of like, well, but that really could happen to me. Or as with this, you know it's scripted and it's like, OK, that's never going to happen to me. So you know it's a heightened sense of reality and I just think it's something that the public needed. It was just the right timing.

VARGAS: What are you looking forward to tonight besides these beautiful women?

CHAVIRA: There's -- I'm just looking forward to enjoying the evening and watching, you know, who the winners are, and you know, we hope a little luck for our own show, our little show.

VARGAS: Congratulations again. All right, all the best. Bye. Thanks.

All right. Well, that's it. Carol, I can't say more than he said but it certainly is a great show...

LIN: You bet.

VARGAS: ...and a great night.

LIN: And what a modest actor, what a modest nominee, our little show, little show indeed. All right, thanks very much, Sibila. We're looking forward to your coverage tonight.

In the meantime, the excitement is building in Jacksonville. Straight ahead, a live report on the Eagles and the Patriots as the kick off of Super Bowl XXXIV draws near.

And that's just a sample, a look at some of the ads that will keep you from getting up from the couch during the game. Plus, some commercials that you wont' be seeing. You're watching CNN LIVE SATURDAY.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Welcome back. I'm Carol Lin, and here's a quick look at what's happening right now in the news.

Rescue teams in Afghanistan are trying to reach the wreckage of an Afghan passenger jet that crashed two days ago. At least three, maybe as many as six of those on board were Americans. Afghan officials are not giving up hope of finding survivors but they say it is unlikely.

And Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has arrived in Turkey where she told Turkish leaders the U.S. supports a united Iraq. The message is meant to assure Turkey that the U.S. will not allow Kurds to break away and form a Kurdish state. Turkey also has a large Kurdish population.

President Bush says strengthening the U.S. economy is the goal of his 2006 budget proposal. The president submits the budget to Congress on Monday. He says the budget makes tax relief permanent and will help to cut the deficit in half by 2009.

Security is tight for Super Bowl XXXIX. More than 80,000 people will pack Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida tomorrow. Police from more than 50 agencies will be aided by state of the art security devices.

Now, tomorrow's Super Bowl game has been called a match up of destiny verses desire. The New England Patriots are seeking to win their third Super Bowl in four years. The Philadelphia Eagles, well, they just want to end their post season losing streak. How about that? CNN's Mark McKay is live in Jacksonville with the latest on that.

Hi, Mark.

MARK MCKAY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: HI, Carol. As the teams sequester themselves behind closed doors ahead of Super Bowl XXXIX, the Pro Football Hall of Fame kept with Super Bowl weekend tradition by announcing their class of 2005. And I tell you what, the quarterback was certainly on display here in Jacksonville as contemporaries. Dan Marino and Steve Young were both elected to the Hall. The Canton, Ohio shrine will welcome both in this summer. Young, a long-time member of the San Francisco 49ers, finished as the highest rated passer in NFL history. And no one throw for more yards or touchdowns than Marino, a lifer behind center whiff, the Miami Dolphins.

Now, there is a strong feeling on Sunday here at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville that we will be watching a future Hall of Famer at work. We're speaking of Tom Brady. He is heading out to emblazon his name even further on pro football lore. The New England quarterback tries, as Carol said, to lead the Patriots to their third Super Bowl crown in four years. One thing is for sure, he doesn't shake easily.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TOM BRADY, PATRIOTS QUARTERBACK: I'm in my fifth year. It doesn't happen nearly as much as it used to. I mean there are still times where it comes up, where you know, maybe you weren't preparing as much for a certain type of looks or certain type of coverages or blitzes that you were getting.

JOE ANDRUZZI, PATRIOTS GUARD: He understands that, you know, getting flustered might fluster other people. So I mean he understands the fact that he's got to go out there and you know people are going to make mistakes. Nobody's perfect. So you make a mistake, you know, you're a real person on how you come back on that and how you overcome that.

ROMAN PHIFER, PATRIOTS LINEBACKER: The only time I ever see Brady flustered probably is in practice. You know there are days when, you know, we don't practice so well. But in the game, pressure situations, he's the guy you want to have.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MCKAY: Yes, we know, no one is perfect, but Brady is pretty close when it comes to post season appearances. He's a perfect 8-0. His counterpart Sunday, Donovan McNabb, a five-time pro bowl quarterback who's career has really come full circle, booed by some Eagles fans when drafted out of Syracuse. It's McNabb who's lead Philadelphia to their first Super Bowl appearance in 25 years.

Carol, it's all systems go here in Jacksonville. One more night of partying. Twenty-four hours from now, they'll be playing football.

LIN: And what a beautiful sky line behind you, Mark, looking forward to it. All right, thanks very much. Mark McKay reporting live from Jacksonville.

You know advertisers hope their Super Bowl commercials get as much attention as the game. Barbara Lippert with "Ad Week" magazine in New York analyzes all those ad campaigns.

Barbara, for $2.4 million for 30 seconds of air time, there's a lot at steak on these ad campaigns. Last year, they were going, literally, for the attention grabber. You remember the dog biting the crotch.

BARBARA LIPPERT, "ADWEEK" MAGAZINE: Well, yes. Of course, last year, the advertisers had a very hard time because the only thing people spoke about was Janet Jackson's breast. And that sort of overshadowed even the horse farting and the crouch biting dog. This year, everybody is saying it's going to be a much more G-rated Super Bowl. Everybody's very aware of it; certainly the NFL is very aware of it. FOX is very aware of it. They've already censored some of the spots. And as one ad guy told me when his spot was rejected, the NFL said, "We don't want to be associated with breasts."

LIN: All right. Well put. In a sense, let's show people actually one of the ads that just got booted very recently. Ford Motor Company almost got this under the wire but let's show a quick clip of what this looked like. It's a priest so in love with a vehicle that he decides the message of his next sermon is going to be about lust and they write the world "lust" on the billboard.

LIPPERT: And I think that regardless when this commercial came out, whether it was the Super Bowl or the Oscars or any other kind of time of year, all of these pressure groups would have been all over it. I can't imagine what they were thinking to link sex and religion now given that our country is so divided and given all of the stuff that's come out lately, you know, about various churches.

LIN: Right. Well...

LIPPERT: It was just...

LIN: ...there's a theory also that the companies actually want to get the attention, get their ads yanked and then put them on the Internet where people are going to be curious about it because of all the publicity, right?

LIPPERT: Well, that's certainly the case for Budweiser because they did something that was a take off on the wardrobe malfunction. FOX wouldn't allow it. They put it on their Web site. They drove lots of traffic there, got everybody interested in their 10 other spots and then, here they look like they're rebels and they can fight the man even though last year, they had the crotch biting dog.

LIN: Yes, but squeaky clean doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't get people talking. In fact, one of our favorite ones we're going to show folks that brings together a bunch of familiar characters. This is a Master Card commercial.

LIPPERT: Right.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Broccoli, $1.79 on debit card.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Casserole anyone?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Tuna, $3.59. Crescent rolls, $2.39. Getting everyone together for dinner, priceless. There are some things money can't buy.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm stuffed to the gills.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: For everything else, there's debit Master Card, accepted at your favorite supermarket.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: All right. That's pretty cute.

LIPPERT: That was very cute. And we're going to see lots of cartoon characters, we're going to see lots of mythical beasts, we're going to see lots of action figures and super heroes because all of that violence and sex has been sublimated into those people.

LIN: Well, do you think -- I mean do you think it's political correctness gone too far?

LIPPERT: I don't really think it's political correctness. I mean, yes, the whole thing about the hypocrisy about the Janet Jackson is its own thing. But last year's commercials, so many of them were really just lowest common denominator, just to get attention and just to do well on the Internet polls. And I'm hoping that it results in just better ads this year.

LIN: All right.

LIPPERT: People have to try harder.

LIN: Two point four million for 30 seconds. Is that money well spent by a company?

LIPPERT: Well, a lot of companies think it is. Anheuser-Busch practically owns the game and everybody's expecting to see lots of beer ads. Like 60 percent of their audience will be watching. Look, car advertisers, you know, that's a prime way to reach all these people. And there's just no other event on American television that brings so many people together and that people are watching for the commercials. It just doesn't happen anywhere else.

LIN: What's the viewership?

LIPPERT: The viewership is something like 130 million worldwide and 90 million in the states. So you know they're getting all of these people, and it's a powerful way to say, you know, they have arrived and they're here and they're competitive.

LIN: You bet. All right. Well, we certainly will be watching and certainly, not only do they invest a lot of money, but there's a lot of Hollywood talent that goes into the productions. I mean their mini productions, aren't they?

LIPPERT: Absolutely. And a lot of celebrities are used. As you saw P. Diddy in the Pepsi one and you know you'll see a couple of other jokey use of celebrities like Burt Reynolds and some surprising people, Patti LaBelle.

LIN: What is Burt Reynolds doing?

LIPPERT: Burt Reynolds is dancing with a bear in a FedEx spot. And I think it's going to be hilarious. They didn't really release the whole thing, but it looks very funny because, you know, Burt Reynolds is a great person to make fun of himself.

LIN: You bet. Better than Joe Nameth and a set of pantyhose, don't you think?

LIPPERT: Yes.

LIN: That was a long time ago.

LIPPERT: We're not going to see -- we're going to see a lot of 80's figures, but not Joe Nameth.

LIN: OK. There he is, Burt and the bear. Barbara Lippert, thank you so much.

LIPPERT: Thank you.

LIN: All right. Would you find -- where would you actually think you might find nearly $200,000 in nickels? Well, this load was not in a bank or even in Las Vegas, try a backyard in Florida. And for many people, it sure beats the streets. How airports have become a shelter for those with nowhere else to go. Straight ahead on CNN LIVE SATURDAY.

Also, among the popular stories this hour on CNN.com, a Huntsville, Alabama woman is charged with killer her three children. An infamous killer in Idaho is set for release.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: All right. Let's take a look at what's happening at the SAG Awards out there in Los Angeles. You're looking at Steven Culp. He plays Rex Van De Camp on the hit TV show, "Desperate Housewives," which is up for a number of awards tonight, including Best Ensemble Cast. So it could be a big night for the new ABC show.

Anyway, the Screen Actors Guild recognizes outstanding film and television acting tonight. The 11th Annual SAG Awards is the only event which actors actually compete for honors from fellow actors. They judge each other. Attendees are gathering at the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center for those awards and CNN's companion network, TNT, is going to telecast the program live beginning at 8:00 tonight Eastern Time.

Also, I've got news across America right now. Police in Florida have found more than 3.5 million nickels, nickels, buried in the bark yard of a suburban Miami home. They are looking for the trucker who was supposed to deliver the $180 in coins to the Federal Reserve Bank in New Orleans. His rig turned up empty December 21 at a truck stop in Fort Pierce.

Startling steroid revelations at a Texas high school. "The Dallas Morning News" reports nine players on the Colleyville Heritage football team have admitted using the banned muscle building drugs during the spring of 2004 and it's believed one of the largest confirmed cases of steroid abuse at a U.S. high school. More on this story at 10:00 tonight.

And Hawaii's Mount Kilauea is putting on a fiery display. The planet's most active volcano is beginning its 23rd year of continuous activity with a spectacular lava flow into the Pacific, beautiful pictures.

Now it sounds like a plot from a recent Tom Hanks movie, a person living in the airport for months on end. But this real life story has no Hollywood ending. As CNN's David Haffenreffer reports, for many homeless people, living in the airport is a means of survival.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DAVID HAFFENREFFER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It's a familiar scene at New York's La Guardia Airport. Passengers sit in the terminals waiting for flights, but this woman, known to us as only Juanita is not a passenger. She is homeless and has been living in the airport for three months.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How long have you been here?

JUANITA: I've been here November 8, 2004.

CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: ...Hollywood bought into the idea. Tom Hanks' character in the movie, "The Terminal," may have seemed out of this world, but we are going to introduce you to some people who are actually living in airports.

Also, award show season in Hollywood. This hour, they're walking the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium. All hour, we are watching the stars come out live.

It's February 5 and you're watching CNN LIVE SATURDAY. From the CNN Global Headquarters in Atlanta, I'm Carol Lin and here's what's happening right now in the news.

Condoleezza Rice is in Turkey, reassuring that nation that the U.S. will not support a Kurdish separatist power in Iraq. Turkish leaders worry if Kurds get more power in Iraq; Kurds in Turkey would want the same. Condoleezza Rice is touring Europe and the Middle East.

It's been a deadly day for Iraqi security forces. A road side bomb exploded near an Iraqi army patrol in Basra, killing four soldiers. Earlier, eight Iraqi police commandos were found dead near Baghdad, seven shot and one beheaded.

And rescue teams are trying to reach the wreckage of an Afghan passenger jet. It crashed on a domestic flight two days ago in rough, mountainous terrain. Of the 104 people on board, at least three were Americans. Afghan officials say it is not likely anyone survived.

Pope John Paul II is reportedly feeling better. A bishop who saw him in the hospital today says the pontiff wants to get back to work. The Vatican says the pope will give a traditional blessing tomorrow from the hospital bed though an aide will read his longer address. We begin tonight with Super Bowl security. It is going to be extraordinarily tight. More than 50 law enforcement agencies have been planning for 18 months, working to keep tomorrow's game free from danger and terrorism. CNN's Susan Candiotti is live in Jacksonville with the latest on security preparations.

Susan, how's it going?

SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hello, Carol. Well, it's very chilly this evening and we can tell you that a Jacksonville man earlier this week was arrested for allegedly making a Super Bowl threat. Other than that, we are not aware of any other major problems.

Now, among those 50 law enforcement agencies assigned to Super Bowl security is Customs and Border Protection. Two of its pilots gave us an inside look at what they do.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK, on the left side, you're going to see the B-3 coming in.

CANDIOTTI (voice-over): For these two veteran pilots in the cockpit, guarding the air space around the Super Bowl is a mission unlike any other.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Why? This is the greatest sports event we have in the United States and we're protecting that event and we're protecting the American people.

CANDIOTTI: For security reasons, the Customs and Border Protection Black hawk pilots prefer to be known only by their first names, Chris and Rob.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And I hope that the spectators at the Super Bowl have a great time and enjoy themselves. And I hope they don't even realize we're there.

Advertising blimps and planes doting banners over and near the stadium welcome come game time. Not the usual targets these pilots deal with when protecting the White House or world economic summits. Now they're securing a 30 mile no-fly zone over Alltel stadium.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) you put in the left right over?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, left side, left side.

CANDIOTTI: Chris and Rob took us up for a dry run.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Here, Susan, in life, there's always somebody who doesn't get it.

CANDIOTTI: If forewarned pilots don't get it, they'll be tracked, radioed, ordered out, and possibly forced to land for questioning. Surveillance planes are working with a mobile air traffic control center tucked inside this Customs Double Eagle P-3. It tracks all aircraft within a 25-0-mile radius. Much of the attention will be directed at the stadium where last minute security run throughs and half time show preparations are underway. The view is impressive.

(on camera): What are you thinking about as you see they're making this final preparations?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All of the measures that we're taken, all of the precautions that we're taking, it should we be adequate enough to present an event.

CANDIOTTI (voice-over): Prevent an event such as an attack. The fly-overs will watch for suspicious activity throughout the area, around seven cruise ships acting as floating hotels and other outdoor venues including a water front entertainment district.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I would describe it as vigilance. We are prepared to deal with any situation that arises.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

CANDIOTTI: The hope is no situation will come up, but if it does, police say they'll be ready to react -- Carol.

LIN: Susan, how many people are expected in that immediate vicinity for the Super Bowl?

CANDIOTTI: At least 100,000 or so. And of course, the crowds were not -- were fewer earlier in the week because of all of the bad weather, but they have been growing steadily, and they expect a huge crowd, of course, tomorrow.

LIN: You bet. It sounds like you've got a huge crowd behind you. What's going on?

CANDIOTTI: Well, more pre Super Bowl game parties, and they start now -- actually they start in the morning and they last all night long, into the wee hours of the morning as you can imagine, Carol.

LIN: As I can imagine. All right, Susan Candiotti, stay safe and have a good time. Thanks.

Please be sure to watch CNN's "AMERICAN MORNING" on Monday for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at security operations during tomorrow's Super Bowl. CNN has been granted exclusive access to the command center in Jacksonville as well as all the law enforcement agencies that will be protecting people during tomorrow's game, so don't miss this exclusive, all access report only on CNN's "AMERICAN MORNING" on Monday starting at 7:00 Eastern.

In the meantime, stay tuned to CNN day and night for the most reliable news about your security. In fact, later in this broadcast, we're going to have a live report from Jacksonville on the match up for tomorrow's big game and we're going to take a closer look at some Super Bowl ads that you are going to see and those you won't.

In the meantime, we're going to move on to other security concerns, social security to be exact. President Bush today devoted part of his weekly radio address to his plan to overhaul the program. CNN's Elaine Quijano is live at the White House with details on that.

Good evening, Elaine.

ELAINE QUIJANO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good evening to you, Carol. That's right. President Bush in his weekly radio address echoed what he said earlier this week, that he believes social security insolvency is a looming problem and that lawmakers should act now to fix it. But people on both sides of the aisle are having reservations.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

QUIJANO (voice-over): In the battle to overhaul social security, President Bush knows full well the political stakes are high.

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: It used to be called the third rail of American politics. If you touched it, you would be shocked, sometimes shocked out of politics.

QUIJANO: But the idea of touching the third rail makes some Republicans nervous. They need to get reelected, the president doesn't.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He does have to assure conservatives that Republicans can address this issue without getting beaten up in the polls. He also has to show Democrats that he is truly concerned about the future of social security.

QUIJANO: The president's move to frame the debate over social security appears to be working. A new poll by "Newsweek" magazine shows most Americans, 65 percent, agree with him that social security faces a funding crisis. Twenty-six percent disagree. Yet, they were split on the president's ideas for changing the system. Twenty-six percent favor them, 36 percent are opposed, and 30 percent said they were not aware of the proposals.

To raise that awareness, this week, the president embarked on a post State of the Union road trip through five states to sell his idea.

BUSH: It's your money that's going into the social security trust. You're working and you're paying the payroll taxes. And I think some of that money ought to go into a retirement account.

QUIJANO: But Democrats and seniors are digging in for a fight.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Democrats are unified. Democrats are ready for this fight.

SEN. BYRON DORGAN (D), NORTH DAKOTA: There's not anything that I'm aware of that would persuade me that we should borrow 1 to $3 trillion, cut social security benefits, stick the borrowed money in the stock market and think that'll be good for the country or good for senior citizens. It will not be.

QUIJANO: The president isn't getting a free pass from his own party either. Some conservatives within the GOP, like Indiana congressman, Mike Pence, believe the president's plan should go further, not just allowing four percent of your wages to be invested but six percent.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

QUIJANO: Now, the only deal breakers President Bush has mentioned, he doesn't want to raise payroll taxes and he has also promised to not change benefits for those at or near requirement age. But Carol, other than that, the president says he's open to all other ideas, clearly, leaving the ball in Congress' court.

LIN: A lot could change. Thanks very much. Elaine Quijano live at the White House.

I want to tell you about a gruesome investigation which is underway right now in Huntsville, Alabama. Please there have charged a woman with killing her three children. Their bodies were found in an apartment yesterday and police say they are waiting on autopsies to reveal when and how the children died. The victims, ages 8, 9, and 11 had not shown up for school in weeks.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Huntsville police questioned the mother, questioned family members. The children had not returned to Ridgecrest Elementary School at the time after school break. The Department of Human Resources did respond and talk -- trying to get to the mother but she would not go to the door. Meanwhile, family members had not seen the children for a while.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: Police say the children's' father did not live with the woman and he has also been questioned in this case. We've got much more on that story coming up in our primetime show at 10:00 tonight Eastern.

In the meantime, the search is over in another disturbing case. A couple accused of torturing and starving children in their care is now behind bars. CNN's Jason Bellini reports.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JASON BELLINI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Police in Utah Friday evening arrested Linda and John Dollar. Both are wanted in Florida on charges of aggravated child abuse and torture of their five of their seven foster children.

CAPT. JIM CERNICH, CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: They combed the area and were just about ready to shut down operations when they spotted the vehicle. They stopped the Dollars on the roadway and then arrested them and took them to the county jail. BELLINI: Friday morning the sheriff's department in Beverly Hills, Florida, revealed the gruesome details of what the children say went on inside their home. The Dollars alleged used electric shock on the children, forced them to sleep in a closet, chained them to walls, pulled their toenails out with pliers, and left them severely malnourished.

GAIL TIERNEY, CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: I've seen pictures of the children that have been, you know, taken in connection with this case. And you know, I mean, they have very sweet faces but when you look at their bodies, I mean, it looks like Auschwitz.

BELLINI: The investigation began January 21. Paramedics responded to a 911 call. They discovered a 16-year-old boy, bruised, bleeding, and weighing only 59 pounds. It wasn't until six days later that Florida's Department of Children and Families recovered the other six children, including twin 14-year-old boys weighing 36 and 38 pounds. Child advocates are questioning why it took so long.

KAREN GIEVERS, CHILD ADVOCATE: There's no excuse for leaving children in danger under the circumstances that we're hearing about.

BELLINI: Governor Jeb Bush says the children were not on record with Florida's foster care system and the agency acted swiftly to remove the children.

GOV. JEB BUSH (R), FLORIDA: It's just tragic that parents, in this case, adoptive parents; these are parents that received these kids under adoption in the early 1990's, would do what they did.

BELLINI: The Dollars and their adopted children had lived for a couple of years in Knoxville, Tennessee and then moved back to Florida. The woman who leased the house to them said the children never played outside.

JEAN UNDERWOOD, REAL ESTATE AGENT: And there were seven children and they tell me they were from homes in Florida, that they were mistreated and they were -- it was a foster care deal of some kind.

BELLINI (on camera): Jean Underwood also told us that on her visits to the Dollar household something seemed very strange there. The children were virtually silent. They never played outside. She was looking for a reason to call child protective services, but she never found one.

Jason Bellini, CNN, Knoxville, Tennessee.

LIN: When CNN LIVE SATURDAY returns...

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JIM BUTLER, FATHER OF SGT. JAKE BUTLER: Jake knew he wasn't coming back, but he still went forward. So to me, that's beyond honor. (END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: ...on the front lines tonight, a determined father braves danger in Iraq to keep a promise to his fallen son. And many have fallen through the cracks when it comes to health care, but now one program aims to cure the ills of the Latino community. And holy smokes, for many Cubans, it's the essence of their existence. But now new laws are snuffing out stogies.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Every week during this program, we bring your personal stories from the front lines. Well, today, we're going to take a poignant look at how a Kansas father is coping with loss. To keep a promise, he went halfway around the world to find the spot where his son was killed. Our Jonathan Freed has his story.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JONATHAN FREED, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Jake Butler was born in this small town. A quarter century later, he would die in another, half a world away.

BUTLER: He got a Silver Star, a Bronze Star. He's got the Clover, Purple Heart.

FREED: Army Sergeant Jacob Butler was the first person from Kansas killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom in the opening days of the war, shot in the head by Iraqi forces on April 1, 2003. It's been almost two years, but for Jake's father, Jim, too often, it feels like yesterday.

BUTLER: You learn to deal with it or you learn to cope with it. But deep down, if you open you up, it's laying right there.

FREED: People tend to share each other's pain in a small down. In Welsville, it's especially so.

(on camera): This is a town of about 1,500 people and right now there are 61 of them serving in uniform. Do the math and that comes out to about four percent of the town's population or one out of every 25 people.

BUTLER: It kind of sends chills down your spine, doesn't it, when you think about it there. I don't know what they strongly believe in.

FREED (voice-over): The names are proudly on display at the public library where they say a third are now serving in Iraq. Jake's name is set apart from the rest. And his father says Jake knew it would be, explaining his son was convinced he wasn't coming home.

Jim Butler has channeled some of his grief into a book he's writing about his son's sacrifice, titled "Beyond Honor."

BUTLER: Jake knew he wasn't coming back, but he still went forward. To me, that's beyond honor. He went beyond honor. OK.

FREED: Six months after Jake's death, his father set out on his own dangerous mission, to visit the place in Iraq where his son was killed.

BUTLER: I was looking at fulfilling a promise I made to Jake and it was the last promise I made him. And I was going to do whatever it took to keep it.

FREED: After arriving in Kuwait, Butler says the military tried at first to turn him away. But when they saw his determination, the Army organized a mission and flew him to Samawa (ph), Iraq, a small town by the Euphrates River. One of the soldiers escorting Butler took this video for him, as a father confronted his demons, playing his son's favorite songs at the spot where Jake died.

BUTLER: When I did go to Iraq, I did find somewhat of a peace where Jake was killed at. He made a difference in a little town maybe even for just a short time. At least I feel that he still made a difference there in that town.

FREED: Despite his family's fears before the trip, Jim Butler was convinced his fate would be different from his son's.

BUTLER: I had no doubts that I was coming home.

FREED: Now he hopes the milestone of the Iraqi elections will mean the troops can soon start coming home.

BUTLER: Jake gave his life for them to have freedom for even a short time then maybe it was worth it. But I mean it wasn't worth losing Jake, but it was worth what they were out to do, it was what they were out to accomplish.

FREED: Butler prays that when all of Welsville's soldiers come home, Jake's name will still be the only one in the library window set apart from the rest.

Jonathan Freed, CNN, Welsville, Kansas.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LIN: A father as brave as his son.

Well, a crowded airport. We're going to show you a picture you're not going to believe, a place where countless strangers are gathering, and a perfect place to live. Straight ahead, we're going to follow two men who try to help those who have made the airport their home.

Also, an admission of guilt. Football players fess up to using steroids. These are not college students. They are much younger.

Plus, the stars are out in Los Angeles for the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Sibila Vargas out there, too -- Sibila. SIBILA VARGAS, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: That's right. The champagne has been popped and the celebrations are underway. We'll give you a sneak peek when CNN LIVE SATURDAY continues.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: The thing that adds so much suspense to the Screen Actors Guild Awards -- there's Nicolas Cage arriving, by the way, live on our air. It looked like Nicholas Cage. At any rate, the thing about the Screen Actor's Guild Awards, it's -- that makes it so suspenseful is that is actors voting and then honoring for other actors. So who knows what they're going to come up with. The Screen Actors Guild is bestowing honors for television and film acting in a program that's going to be telecast on our sister network, TNT, live. The hosts and all the hopefuls and other people who are arriving are taking their places in Los Angeles' Shrine Expedition Center.

And some of the stars of both big and small screen are treading the red carpet right now and hoping to be called onto the stage tonight. CNN entertainment correspondent Sibila Vargas is there right now.

Sibila, I was calling a shot there. Was that Nicolas Cage or not?

VARGAS: Am I having fun, is that what you're asking? I'm sorry. I can't hear you.

LIN: No problem...

VARGAS: I think you -- I mean -- well, you know, you were talking about some people who might be getting awards today. Well, you know, Jamie Foxx is definitely a person who has been nominated, four nominations. He's got two nominations for his work in "Ray," and one nomination for his work in "Collateral," for a supporting actor and one in "Redemption."

But hold on a second. I am about to get -- I am about to get a live guest. Oh, there you are. Hello, how are you, Antonio? How are you? Oh, Ricardo, (UNINTELLIGIBLE)?

Now, this gentleman plays Eva Longoria's husband in "Desperate Housewives." And you've just popped the champagne, yes?

RICARDO ANTONIO CHAVIRA, "CARLOS", "DESPARATE HOUSEWIVES": Just popped the champagne, you know. And they introduced me to these nice ladies and I'm just like -- feeling like, you know, it's a great day for a great Mexican man. What can I say?

VARGAS: What a way to open up the celebration.

CHAVIRA: I was like; I'm going to be standing with who? That's great.

VARGAS: And you get along a beautiful woman almost every day, at least every Sunday night. CHAVIRA: She's all right. Now, Eva's wonderful. She's -- I mean hands down, one of the most beautiful women I've ever met and had the pleasure to work with. So...

VARGAS: Congratulations on getting nominated. The show got nominated in the Best Ensemble cast. Your show getting nominated, "Desperate Housewives."

CHAVIRA: Yes, it's amazing. You know it's kind of funny because I had no -- you know I don't think any of us had any idea that we're going to have all these, you know, award considerations and what not. So you know everybody made other plans like in advance and now it's like you're having to like reschedule flights and it's getting crazy.

VARGAS: And here you are with these two beautiful women drinking champagne.

CHAVIRA: And they've got these nice necklaces on, their Baccarat jewelry, which are actually being auctioned off and the proceeds will benefit the SAG, the Screen Actors Guild Foundation.

VARGAS: Now, what is it about the show that you think resonated with so many people, millions really?

CHAVIRA: I mean, you know, five beautiful women is a good start. But I think it's just, you know, that although it is kind of hyper realty that, you know, so many beautiful women living on the same block, I think there are a lot of threads within the writing and then also within the performance that strike a chord with regards to very realistic situations that are going on and certain dysfunctional relationships all across America. And I think, you know, people tune in because it's like I'd rather laugh at someone else's dirty laundry than my own.

VARGAS: Well, we certainly know a lot of women are watching. Be honest with me, are your guy friends watching too?

CHAVIRA: You know there are a lot of guys watching, supposedly. And I think that -- I think that if they actually kind of looked at -- I wonder if they looked at the numbers, how many man that are watching are actually watching with a wife or a significant other, you know, so that they can both kind of laugh together and like, well, at least, you know, our relationship isn't like that, and then, you know, maybe have -- spark up some interesting conversation about their own relationship.

VARGAS: Yes. You know reality shows were such a buzz for such a long time, but then here comes "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" and all of a sudden we're talking about scripted programming again.

CHAVIRA: Well, and the thing is is like with reality, it's all of a sudden is as voyeuristic as it could be. You're kind of like, well, but that really could happen to me. Or as with this, you know it's scripted and it's like, OK, that's never going to happen to me. So you know it's a heightened sense of reality and I just think it's something that the public needed. It was just the right timing. VARGAS: What are you looking forward to tonight besides these beautiful women?

CHAVIRA: There's -- I'm just looking forward to enjoying the evening and watching, you know, who the winners are, and you know, we hope a little luck for our own show, our little show.

VARGAS: Congratulations again. All right, all the best. Bye. Thanks.

All right. Well, that's it. Carol, I can't say more than he said but it certainly is a great show...

LIN: You bet.

VARGAS: ...and a great night.

LIN: And what a modest actor, what a modest nominee, our little show, little show indeed. All right, thanks very much, Sibila. We're looking forward to your coverage tonight.

In the meantime, the excitement is building in Jacksonville. Straight ahead, a live report on the Eagles and the Patriots as the kick off of Super Bowl XXXIV draws near.

And that's just a sample, a look at some of the ads that will keep you from getting up from the couch during the game. Plus, some commercials that you wont' be seeing. You're watching CNN LIVE SATURDAY.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Welcome back. I'm Carol Lin, and here's a quick look at what's happening right now in the news.

Rescue teams in Afghanistan are trying to reach the wreckage of an Afghan passenger jet that crashed two days ago. At least three, maybe as many as six of those on board were Americans. Afghan officials are not giving up hope of finding survivors but they say it is unlikely.

And Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has arrived in Turkey where she told Turkish leaders the U.S. supports a united Iraq. The message is meant to assure Turkey that the U.S. will not allow Kurds to break away and form a Kurdish state. Turkey also has a large Kurdish population.

President Bush says strengthening the U.S. economy is the goal of his 2006 budget proposal. The president submits the budget to Congress on Monday. He says the budget makes tax relief permanent and will help to cut the deficit in half by 2009.

Security is tight for Super Bowl XXXIX. More than 80,000 people will pack Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida tomorrow. Police from more than 50 agencies will be aided by state of the art security devices. Now, tomorrow's Super Bowl game has been called a match up of destiny verses desire. The New England Patriots are seeking to win their third Super Bowl in four years. The Philadelphia Eagles, well, they just want to end their post season losing streak. How about that? CNN's Mark McKay is live in Jacksonville with the latest on that.

Hi, Mark.

MARK MCKAY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: HI, Carol. As the teams sequester themselves behind closed doors ahead of Super Bowl XXXIX, the Pro Football Hall of Fame kept with Super Bowl weekend tradition by announcing their class of 2005. And I tell you what, the quarterback was certainly on display here in Jacksonville as contemporaries. Dan Marino and Steve Young were both elected to the Hall. The Canton, Ohio shrine will welcome both in this summer. Young, a long-time member of the San Francisco 49ers, finished as the highest rated passer in NFL history. And no one throw for more yards or touchdowns than Marino, a lifer behind center whiff, the Miami Dolphins.

Now, there is a strong feeling on Sunday here at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville that we will be watching a future Hall of Famer at work. We're speaking of Tom Brady. He is heading out to emblazon his name even further on pro football lore. The New England quarterback tries, as Carol said, to lead the Patriots to their third Super Bowl crown in four years. One thing is for sure, he doesn't shake easily.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TOM BRADY, PATRIOTS QUARTERBACK: I'm in my fifth year. It doesn't happen nearly as much as it used to. I mean there are still times where it comes up, where you know, maybe you weren't preparing as much for a certain type of looks or certain type of coverages or blitzes that you were getting.

JOE ANDRUZZI, PATRIOTS GUARD: He understands that, you know, getting flustered might fluster other people. So I mean he understands the fact that he's got to go out there and you know people are going to make mistakes. Nobody's perfect. So you make a mistake, you know, you're a real person on how you come back on that and how you overcome that.

ROMAN PHIFER, PATRIOTS LINEBACKER: The only time I ever see Brady flustered probably is in practice. You know there are days when, you know, we don't practice so well. But in the game, pressure situations, he's the guy you want to have.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MCKAY: Yes, we know, no one is perfect, but Brady is pretty close when it comes to post season appearances. He's a perfect 8-0. His counterpart Sunday, Donovan McNabb, a five-time pro bowl quarterback who's career has really come full circle, booed by some Eagles fans when drafted out of Syracuse. It's McNabb who's lead Philadelphia to their first Super Bowl appearance in 25 years. Carol, it's all systems go here in Jacksonville. One more night of partying. Twenty-four hours from now, they'll be playing football.

LIN: And what a beautiful sky line behind you, Mark, looking forward to it. All right, thanks very much. Mark McKay reporting live from Jacksonville.

You know advertisers hope their Super Bowl commercials get as much attention as the game. Barbara Lippert with "Ad Week" magazine in New York analyzes all those ad campaigns.

Barbara, for $2.4 million for 30 seconds of air time, there's a lot at steak on these ad campaigns. Last year, they were going, literally, for the attention grabber. You remember the dog biting the crotch.

BARBARA LIPPERT, "ADWEEK" MAGAZINE: Well, yes. Of course, last year, the advertisers had a very hard time because the only thing people spoke about was Janet Jackson's breast. And that sort of overshadowed even the horse farting and the crouch biting dog. This year, everybody is saying it's going to be a much more G-rated Super Bowl. Everybody's very aware of it; certainly the NFL is very aware of it. FOX is very aware of it. They've already censored some of the spots. And as one ad guy told me when his spot was rejected, the NFL said, "We don't want to be associated with breasts."

LIN: All right. Well put. In a sense, let's show people actually one of the ads that just got booted very recently. Ford Motor Company almost got this under the wire but let's show a quick clip of what this looked like. It's a priest so in love with a vehicle that he decides the message of his next sermon is going to be about lust and they write the world "lust" on the billboard.

LIPPERT: And I think that regardless when this commercial came out, whether it was the Super Bowl or the Oscars or any other kind of time of year, all of these pressure groups would have been all over it. I can't imagine what they were thinking to link sex and religion now given that our country is so divided and given all of the stuff that's come out lately, you know, about various churches.

LIN: Right. Well...

LIPPERT: It was just...

LIN: ...there's a theory also that the companies actually want to get the attention, get their ads yanked and then put them on the Internet where people are going to be curious about it because of all the publicity, right?

LIPPERT: Well, that's certainly the case for Budweiser because they did something that was a take off on the wardrobe malfunction. FOX wouldn't allow it. They put it on their Web site. They drove lots of traffic there, got everybody interested in their 10 other spots and then, here they look like they're rebels and they can fight the man even though last year, they had the crotch biting dog. LIN: Yes, but squeaky clean doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't get people talking. In fact, one of our favorite ones we're going to show folks that brings together a bunch of familiar characters. This is a Master Card commercial.

LIPPERT: Right.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Broccoli, $1.79 on debit card.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Casserole anyone?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Tuna, $3.59. Crescent rolls, $2.39. Getting everyone together for dinner, priceless. There are some things money can't buy.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm stuffed to the gills.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: For everything else, there's debit Master Card, accepted at your favorite supermarket.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: All right. That's pretty cute.

LIPPERT: That was very cute. And we're going to see lots of cartoon characters, we're going to see lots of mythical beasts, we're going to see lots of action figures and super heroes because all of that violence and sex has been sublimated into those people.

LIN: Well, do you think -- I mean do you think it's political correctness gone too far?

LIPPERT: I don't really think it's political correctness. I mean, yes, the whole thing about the hypocrisy about the Janet Jackson is its own thing. But last year's commercials, so many of them were really just lowest common denominator, just to get attention and just to do well on the Internet polls. And I'm hoping that it results in just better ads this year.

LIN: All right.

LIPPERT: People have to try harder.

LIN: Two point four million for 30 seconds. Is that money well spent by a company?

LIPPERT: Well, a lot of companies think it is. Anheuser-Busch practically owns the game and everybody's expecting to see lots of beer ads. Like 60 percent of their audience will be watching. Look, car advertisers, you know, that's a prime way to reach all these people. And there's just no other event on American television that brings so many people together and that people are watching for the commercials. It just doesn't happen anywhere else.

LIN: What's the viewership?

LIPPERT: The viewership is something like 130 million worldwide and 90 million in the states. So you know they're getting all of these people, and it's a powerful way to say, you know, they have arrived and they're here and they're competitive.

LIN: You bet. All right. Well, we certainly will be watching and certainly, not only do they invest a lot of money, but there's a lot of Hollywood talent that goes into the productions. I mean their mini productions, aren't they?

LIPPERT: Absolutely. And a lot of celebrities are used. As you saw P. Diddy in the Pepsi one and you know you'll see a couple of other jokey use of celebrities like Burt Reynolds and some surprising people, Patti Labelle.

LIN: What is Burt Reynolds doing?

LIPPERT: Burt Reynolds is dancing with a bear in a FedEx spot. And I think it's going to be hilarious. They didn't really release the whole thing, but it looks very funny because, you know, Burt Reynolds is a great person to make fun of himself.

LIN: You bet. Better than Joe Nameth and a set of pantyhose, don't you think?

LIPPERT: Yes.

LIN: That was a long time ago.

LIPPERT: We're not going to see -- we're going to see a lot of 80's figures, but not Joe Nameth.

LIN: OK. There he is, Burt and the bear. Barbara Lippert, thank you so much.

LIPPERT: Thank you.

LIN: All right. Would you find -- where would you actually think you might find nearly $200,000 in nickels? Well, this load was not in a bank or even in Las Vegas, try a backyard in Florida. And for many people, it sure beats the streets. How airports have become a shelter for those with nowhere else to go. Straight ahead on CNN LIVE SATURDAY.

Also, among the popular stories this hour on CNN.com, a Huntsville, Alabama woman is charged with killer her three children. An infamous killer in Idaho is set for release. And Dan Marino and Steve Young head this year's class of inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. All you have to do is click on to CNN.com for details.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: All right. Let's take a look at what's happening at the SAG Awards out there in Los Angeles. You're looking at Steven Culp. He plays Rex Van De Camp on the hit TV show, "Desperate Housewives," which is up for a number of awards tonight, including Best Ensemble Cast. So it could be a big night for the new ABC show.

Anyway, the Screen Actors Guild recognizes outstanding film and television acting tonight. The 11th Annual SAG Awards is the only event which actors actually compete for honors from fellow actors. They judge each other. Attendees are gathering at the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center for those awards and CNN's companion network, TNT, is going to telecast the program live beginning at 8:00 tonight Eastern Time.

Also, I've got news across America right now. Police in Florida have found more than 3.5 million nickels, nickels, buried in the bark yard of a suburban Miami home. They are looking for the trucker who was supposed to deliver the $180 in coins to the Federal Reserve Bank in New Orleans. His rig turned up empty December 21 at a truck stop in Fort Pierce.

Startling steroid revelations at a Texas high school. "The Dallas Morning News" reports nine players on the Colleyville Heritage football team have admitted using the banned muscle building drugs during the spring of 2004 and it's believed one of the largest confirmed cases of steroid abuse at a U.S. high school. More on this story at 10:00 tonight.

And Hawaii's Mount Kilauea is putting on a fiery display. The planet's most active volcano is beginning its 23rd year of continuous activity with a spectacular lava flow into the Pacific, beautiful pictures.

Now it sounds like a plot from a recent Tom Hanks movie, a person living in the airport for months on end. But this real life story has no Hollywood ending. As CNN's David Haffenreffer reports, for many homeless people, living in the airport is a means of survival.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DAUID HAFFENREFFER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It's a familiar scene at New York's La Guardia Airport. Passengers sit in the terminals waiting for flights, but this woman, known to us as only Juanita is not a passenger. She is homeless and has been living in the airport for three months.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How long have you been here?

JUANITA: I've been here November 8, 2004.

HAFFENREFFER: Juanita looks like a traveler, carries luggage, and looks constantly at an old airline ticket. But she is one of an estimated 200 homeless people living inside New York's two major airports.

MICHAEL NOEL, VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA: Good morning. Good morning again, Juanita. How are you today? Can we help you today?

HAFFENREFFER: Michael Noel and Howard Cunningham are outreach workers who patrol the airports looking for the homeless.

NOEL: How are you doing? We're still here for you. Anytime that you need us, we have a crew.

HAFFENREFFER: They walk the airport every day, encouraging but not forcing the homeless they find to seek shelter and help.

NOEL: We speak and then we listen, mostly we listen because we want to know their story. We want to know why they're here. How did they get here? And then we try from that angle to give them the necessary information that we may have that can help them better their situation.

HAFFENREFFER: One of the big challenges, finding them.

HOWARD CUNNINGHAM, VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA: A lot of people look like passengers, you know? They walk around with smart carts. You know they may have one bag.

How are you?

HAFFENREFFER: In the food court, Noel and Cunningham run into Jane, a homeless woman they've seen for the past few weeks. At first, she is reluctant...

NOEL: You're tired? May I sit?

JANE: No, no, I don't want to go into this right now. I don't...

NOEL: You sure?

HAFFENREFFER: ...but soon opens up.

JANE: I'd like to get out of that.

CUNNINGHAM: Well, we'd like to help you.

NOEL: We can help you with that. We know what we're going to get into before we even get here, you know, because they're going to tell us no. They're going to tell us no. They're going to tell us no. But then we're looking for that day when they say yes.

HAFFENREFFER: Noel and Cunningham hope one day Juanita will say yes.

David Haffenreffer, CNN, New York.

LIN: When CNN LIVE SATURDAY returns, how one university is trying to close the health care gap among Latinos.

And a country famous for its cigars tries to come to grips with changing times.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Did you know that strokes are the third leading cause of death in the United States but the powerful drug, TPA, can limit the damage they cause? So why do so few stroke victims, just three percent, actually receive it? Well, new research is providing some answers and it says hospital phone operators often don't recognize stroke symptoms and don't urge callers to come in for help. And another reason, emergency room doctors are afraid of the drug's side effects. TPA Was approved to treat strokes back in 1996.

Also, hospitals are treating more and more Latinos these days. They are the fastest growing minority group in the United States, and they face not only health care issues, but often language and cultural barriers as well. Well, a new program in California aims to address that and CNN's Peter Viles has that story.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

MARNIE GRANADOS, UC IRVINE MEDICAL STUDENT: (SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

PETER VILES, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): For a young doctor, a difficult case, the patient has high blood pressure, severe chest pain, and speaks no English. Thankfully, this is just a role playing exercise. Marnie Granados (ph) is a first year medical student.

GRANADOS: This was a case where the patient had last seen a doctor three years ago.

VILES: Marnie is one of eight students in a new program at the University of California at Irvine that trains doctors specifically to treat Hispanic patients and to become activists in Hispanic communities.

GRANADOS: Already, there's data showing that over half of all births in California are from Latino parents. And so we have a growing number of people that are in need of physicians who understand their culture, their language and their health beliefs.

VILES: What makes treating Hispanics different? As these students learned while studying in Mexico, language and cultural barriers that leave many Hispanics distrustful of the American health care system.

CARL SMITH, UC IRVINE MEDICAL STUDENT: If they don't feel understood, there are studies that show they're not going to feel like they're getting the best service. They're actually a lot of times not going to -- they're not going to cooperate with the doctor and they're not going to believe that they're going to get better, and sometimes their symptoms aren't going to improve psychologically just because they don't trust their doctor.

VILES: This is a national issue. Studies have shown the exploding Hispanic population lags behind in access to health care.

DR. ALBERTO MANETTA, ASSOCIATE DEAN, UCI MEDICAL SCHOOL: There are health care goals that cannot be achieved until you reach a significant segment of the population, issues like vaccinations, cancer prevention, hypertension management and so on. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Your CO2 production is equal to their (UNINTELLIGIBLE) ventilation.

VILES: Medical school usually lasts four years, but Carl and Marnie have chosen a long road, a five year program that will lead them directly to Hispanic communities in need of help.

Peter Viles, CNN, Irvine, California.

LIN: And just ahead, spoke them if you got them, but you won't be able to much longer. A worldwide trend to curve smoking is about to take effect in an island nation famous for its tobacco.

And now, here's Al Hunt to tell us what "THE CAPITAL GANG" has coming up.

AL HUNT, CO-HOST, "THE CAPITAL GANG": We'll take a look at the president's State of the Union speech, the confirmation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez and a Super Bowl preview with the president of NFL film, Steve Sabol. All that and more next on CNN.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: They are an icon of Cuba, the fine, fat cigars mass produced for generations. But now smokers in Cuba are being told to take their stogies and their cigarettes outside. Well, tomorrow a smoking ban goes into effect across Cuba and not everyone is happy about it. Here's our Lucia Newman.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

LUCIA NEWMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and discovered this, Cuban tobacco. But holy smokes, 513 years after Columbus first caught them smoking, Cubans are being told they can't continue indulging in something that for many is the essence of being Cuban.

New regulations that go into effect February 7 forbid Cubans from smoking in taxies and buses. A blow too many drivers and passengers. And says the government, no more smoking allowed either in trains theaters, offices, hospitals and air conditioned or enclosed areas. Restaurants will now have smoke free areas. All this shocking to this man who claims he's been smoking since he left his mother's bosom.

"I know it's bad for me, but it's a vice that's so ingrained in me that I can't leave it. I once tried to stop smoking, but I had to go back because I felt like hanging myself," he says.

In this country famous for it's tobacco, nearly 40 percent of their adults smoke cigars and/or cigarettes. The Communist government ration card entitles people born before 1955 to three packs and two stogies a month at a discount price. But with the increased cost in lives and health care, the government is outlawing the sale of cigarettes to minors and is looking to make smoking in public a part of Cuban history. Measure many say are long over due.

"I have allergies and all that smoke bothers me," says this woman.

"I'll just have to puff at home," says this resigned hard core smoker.

(on camera): No problem for at least one well-known Cuban. Fidel Castro says he kicked the habit years ago and likely not just for the sake of his lungs. At least one of the reported assassination attempts against the Communist leader reportedly involved a CIA plot to poison his cigar.

(voice-over): For other Cubans, now is the time to put out their cigarette except on state owned Cubana Air, one of the only airlines in the world that still allows smoking on international flights.

Lucia Newman, CNN, Havana.

LIN: Well, that's all the time we have for this hour. But coming up next at 7:00 Eastern, "THE CAPITAL GANG." And then at 8:00 Eastern on "CNN PRESENTS," "Under Fire: Stories From The New Iraq" and at 9:00 "LARRY KING LIVE". And of course, I'll be back at 10:00 Eastern for "CNN LIVE SATURDAY."

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: It's February 5 and you're watching CNN LIVE SATURDAY. From the CNN Global Headquarters in Atlanta, I'm Carol Lin and here's what's happening right now in the news.
Condoleezza Rice is in Turkey, reassuring that nation that the U.S. will not support a Kurdish separatist power in Iraq. Turkish leaders worry if Kurds get more power in Iraq; Kurds in Turkey would want the same. Condoleezza Rice is touring Europe and the Middle East.

It's been a deadly day for Iraqi security forces. A road side bomb exploded near an Iraqi army patrol in Basra, killing four soldiers. Earlier, eight Iraqi police commandos were found dead near Baghdad, seven shot and one beheaded.

And rescue teams are trying to reach the wreckage of an Afghan passenger jet. It crashed on a domestic flight two days ago in rough, mountainous terrain. Of the 104 people on board, at least three were Americans. Afghan officials say it is not likely anyone survived.

Pope John Paul II is reportedly feeling better. A bishop who saw him in the hospital today says the pontiff wants to get back to work. The Vatican says the pope will give a traditional blessing tomorrow from the hospital bed though an aide will read his longer address.

We begin tonight with Super Bowl security. It is going to be extraordinarily tight. More than 50 law enforcement agencies have been planning for 18 months, working to keep tomorrow's game free from danger and terrorism. CNN's Susan Candiotti is live in Jacksonville with the latest on security preparations.

Susan, how's it going?

SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hello, Carol. Well, it's very chilly this evening and we can tell you that a Jacksonville man earlier this week was arrested for allegedly making a Super Bowl threat. Other than that, we are not aware of any other major problems.

Now, among those 50 law enforcement agencies assigned to Super Bowl security is Customs and Border Protection. Two of its pilots gave us an inside look at what they do.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK, on the left side, you're going to see the B-3 coming in. CANDIOTTI (voice-over): For these two veteran pilots in the cockpit, guarding the air space around the Super Bowl is a mission unlike any other.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Why? This is the greatest sports event we have in the United States and we're protecting that event and we're protecting the American people.

CANDIOTTI: For security reasons, the Customs and Border Protection Black hawk pilots prefer to be known only by their first names, Chris and Rob.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And I hope that the spectators at the Super Bowl have a great time and enjoy themselves. And I hope they don't even realize we're there.

Advertising blimps and planes doting banners over and near the stadium welcome come game time. Not the usual targets these pilots deal with when protecting the White House or world economic summits. Now they're securing a 30 mile no-fly zone over Alltel stadium.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) you put in the left right over?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, left side, left side.

CANDIOTTI: Chris and Rob took us up for a dry run.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Here, Susan, in life, there's always somebody who doesn't get it.

CANDIOTTI: If forewarned pilots don't get it, they'll be tracked, radioed, ordered out, and possibly forced to land for questioning. Surveillance planes are working with a mobile air traffic control center tucked inside this Customs Double Eagle P-3. It tracks all aircraft within a 25-0-mile radius. Much of the attention will be directed at the stadium where last minute security run throughs and half time show preparations are underway. The view is impressive.

(on camera): What are you thinking about as you see they're making this final preparations?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All of the measures that we're taken, all of the precautions that we're taking, it should we be adequate enough to present an event.

CANDIOTTI (voice-over): Prevent an event such as an attack. The fly-overs will watch for suspicious activity throughout the area, around seven cruise ships acting as floating hotels and other outdoor venues including a water front entertainment district.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I would describe it as vigilance. We are prepared to deal with any situation that arises.

(END VIDEOTAPE) CANDIOTTI: The hope is no situation will come up, but if it does, police say they'll be ready to react -- Carol.

LIN: Susan, how many people are expected in that immediate vicinity for the Super Bowl?

CANDIOTTI: At least 100,000 or so. And of course, the crowds were not -- were fewer earlier in the week because of all of the bad weather, but they have been growing steadily, and they expect a huge crowd, of course, tomorrow.

LIN: You bet. It sounds like you've got a huge crowd behind you. What's going on?

CANDIOTTI: Well, more pre Super Bowl game parties, and they start now -- actually they start in the morning and they last all night long, into the wee hours of the morning as you can imagine, Carol.

LIN: As I can imagine. All right, Susan Candiotti, stay safe and have a good time. Thanks.

Please be sure to watch CNN's "AMERICAN MORNING" on Monday for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at security operations during tomorrow's Super Bowl. CNN has been granted exclusive access to the command center in Jacksonville as well as all the law enforcement agencies that will be protecting people during tomorrow's game, so don't miss this exclusive, all access report only on CNN's "AMERICAN MORNING" on Monday starting at 7:00 Eastern.

In the meantime, stay tuned to CNN day and night for the most reliable news about your security. In fact, later in this broadcast, we're going to have a live report from Jacksonville on the match up for tomorrow's big game and we're going to take a closer look at some Super Bowl ads that you are going to see and those you won't.

In the meantime, we're going to move on to other security concerns, social security to be exact. President Bush today devoted part of his weekly radio address to his plan to overhaul the program. CNN's Elaine Quijano is live at the White House with details on that.

Good evening, Elaine.

ELAINE QUIJANO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good evening to you, Carol. That's right. President Bush in his weekly radio address echoed what he said earlier this week, that he believes social security insolvency is a looming problem and that lawmakers should act now to fix it. But people on both sides of the aisle are having reservations.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

QUIJANO (voice-over): In the battle to overhaul social security, President Bush knows full well the political stakes are high.

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: It used to be called the third rail of American politics. If you touched it, you would be shocked, sometimes shocked out of politics.

QUIJANO: But the idea of touching the third rail makes some Republicans nervous. They need to get reelected, the president doesn't.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He does have to assure conservatives that Republicans can address this issue without getting beaten up in the polls. He also has to show Democrats that he is truly concerned about the future of social security.

QUIJANO: The president's move to frame the debate over social security appears to be working. A new poll by "Newsweek" magazine shows most Americans, 65 percent, agree with him that social security faces a funding crisis. Twenty-six percent disagree. Yet, they were split on the president's ideas for changing the system. Twenty-six percent favor them, 36 percent are opposed, and 30 percent said they were not aware of the proposals.

To raise that awareness, this week, the president embarked on a post State of the Union road trip through five states to sell his idea.

BUSH: It's your money that's going into the social security trust. You're working and you're paying the payroll taxes. And I think some of that money ought to go into a retirement account.

QUIJANO: But Democrats and seniors are digging in for a fight.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Democrats are unified. Democrats are ready for this fight.

SEN. BYRON DORGAN (D), NORTH DAKOTA: There's not anything that I'm aware of that would persuade me that we should borrow 1 to $3 trillion, cut social security benefits, stick the borrowed money in the stock market and think that'll be good for the country or good for senior citizens. It will not be.

QUIJANO: The president isn't getting a free pass from his own party either. Some conservatives within the GOP, like Indiana congressman, Mike Pence, believe the president's plan should go further, not just allowing four percent of your wages to be invested but six percent.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

QUIJANO: Now, the only deal breakers President Bush has mentioned, he doesn't want to raise payroll taxes and he has also promised to not change benefits for those at or near requirement age. But Carol, other than that, the president says he's open to all other ideas, clearly, leaving the ball in Congress' court.

LIN: A lot could change. Thanks very much. Elaine Quijano live at the White House.

I want to tell you about a gruesome investigation which is underway right now in Huntsville, Alabama. Please there have charged a woman with killing her three children. Their bodies were found in an apartment yesterday and police say they are waiting on autopsies to reveal when and how the children died. The victims, ages 8, 9, and 11 had not shown up for school in weeks.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Huntsville police questioned the mother, questioned family members. The children had not returned to Ridgecrest Elementary School at the time after school break. The Department of Human Resources did respond and talk -- trying to get to the mother but she would not go to the door. Meanwhile, family members had not seen the children for a while.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: Police say the children's' father did not live with the woman and he has also been questioned in this case. We've got much more on that story coming up in our primetime show at 10:00 tonight Eastern.

In the meantime, the search is over in another disturbing case. A couple accused of torturing and starving children in their care is now behind bars. CNN's Jason Bellini reports.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JASON BELLINI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Police in Utah Friday evening arrested Linda and John Dollar. Both are wanted in Florida on charges of aggravated child abuse and torture of their five of their seven foster children.

CAPT. JIM CERNICH, CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: They combed the area and were just about ready to shut down operations when they spotted the vehicle. They stopped the Dollars on the roadway and then arrested them and took them to the county jail.

BELLINI: Friday morning the sheriff's department in Beverly Hills, Florida, revealed the gruesome details of what the children say went on inside their home. The Dollars alleged used electric shock on the children, forced them to sleep in a closet, chained them to walls, pulled their toenails out with pliers, and left them severely malnourished.

GAIL TIERNEY, CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: I've seen pictures of the children that have been, you know, taken in connection with this case. And you know, I mean, they have very sweet faces but when you look at their bodies, I mean, it looks like Auschwitz.

BELLINI: The investigation began January 21. Paramedics responded to a 911 call. They discovered a 16-year-old boy, bruised, bleeding, and weighing only 59 pounds. It wasn't until six days later that Florida's Department of Children and Families recovered the other six children, including twin 14-year-old boys weighing 36 and 38 pounds. Child advocates are questioning why it took so long.

KAREN GIEVERS, CHILD ADVOCATE: There's no excuse for leaving children in danger under the circumstances that we're hearing about.

BELLINI: Governor Jeb Bush says the children were not on record with Florida's foster care system and the agency acted swiftly to remove the children.

GOV. JEB BUSH (R), FLORIDA: It's just tragic that parents, in this case, adoptive parents; these are parents that received these kids under adoption in the early 1990's, would do what they did.

BELLINI: The Dollars and their adopted children had lived for a couple of years in Knoxville, Tennessee and then moved back to Florida. The woman who leased the house to them said the children never played outside.

JEAN UNDERWOOD, REAL ESTATE AGENT: And there were seven children and they tell me they were from homes in Florida, that they were mistreated and they were -- it was a foster care deal of some kind.

BELLINI (on camera): Jean Underwood also told us that on her visits to the Dollar household something seemed very strange there. The children were virtually silent. They never played outside. She was looking for a reason to call child protective services, but she never found one.

Jason Bellini, CNN, Knoxville, Tennessee.

LIN: When CNN LIVE SATURDAY returns...

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JIM BUTLER, FATHER OF SGT. JAKE BUTLER: Jake knew he wasn't coming back, but he still went forward. So to me, that's beyond honor.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: ...on the front lines tonight, a determined father braves danger in Iraq to keep a promise to his fallen son.

And many have fallen through the cracks when it comes to health care, but now one program aims to cure the ills of the Latino community.

And holy smokes, for many Cubans, it's the essence of their existence. But now new laws are snuffing out stogies.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Every week during this program, we bring your personal stories from the front lines. Well, today, we're going to take a poignant look at how a Kansas father is coping with loss. To keep a promise, he went halfway around the world to find the spot where his son was killed. Our Jonathan Freed has his story.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JONATHAN FREED, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Jake Butler was born in this small town. A quarter century later, he would die in another, half a world away.

BUTLER: He got a Silver Star, a Bronze Star. He's got the Clover, Purple Heart.

FREED: Army Sergeant Jacob Butler was the first person from Kansas killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom in the opening days of the war, shot in the head by Iraqi forces on April 1, 2003. It's been almost two years, but for Jake's father, Jim, too often, it feels like yesterday.

BUTLER: You learn to deal with it or you learn to cope with it. But deep down, if you open you up, it's laying right there.

FREED: People tend to share each other's pain in a small down. In Welsville, it's especially so.

(on camera): This is a town of about 1,500 people and right now there are 61 of them serving in uniform. Do the math and that comes out to about four percent of the town's population or one out of every 25 people.

BUTLER: It kind of sends chills down your spine, doesn't it, when you think about it there. I don't know what they strongly believe in.

FREED (voice-over): The names are proudly on display at the public library where they say a third are now serving in Iraq. Jake's name is set apart from the rest. And his father says Jake knew it would be, explaining his son was convinced he wasn't coming home.

Jim Butler has channeled some of his grief into a book he's writing about his son's sacrifice, titled "Beyond Honor."

BUTLER: Jake knew he wasn't coming back, but he still went forward. To me, that's beyond honor. He went beyond honor. OK.

FREED: Six months after Jake's death, his father set out on his own dangerous mission, to visit the place in Iraq where his son was killed.

BUTLER: I was looking at fulfilling a promise I made to Jake and it was the last promise I made him. And I was going to do whatever it took to keep it.

FREED: After arriving in Kuwait, Butler says the military tried at first to turn him away. But when they saw his determination, the Army organized a mission and flew him to Samawa (ph), Iraq, a small town by the Euphrates River. One of the soldiers escorting Butler took this video for him, as a father confronted his demons, playing his son's favorite songs at the spot where Jake died.

BUTLER: When I did go to Iraq, I did find somewhat of a peace where Jake was killed at. He made a difference in a little town maybe even for just a short time. At least I feel that he still made a difference there in that town.

FREED: Despite his family's fears before the trip, Jim Butler was convinced his fate would be different from his son's.

BUTLER: I had no doubts that I was coming home.

FREED: Now he hopes the milestone of the Iraqi elections will mean the troops can soon start coming home.

BUTLER: Jake gave his life for them to have freedom for even a short time then maybe it was worth it. But I mean it wasn't worth losing Jake, but it was worth what they were out to do, it was what they were out to accomplish.

FREED: Butler prays that when all of Welsville's soldiers come home, Jake's name will still be the only one in the library window set apart from the rest.

Jonathan Freed, CNN, Welsville, Kansas.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LIN: A father as brave as his son.

Well, a crowded airport. We're going to show you a picture you're not going to believe, a place where countless strangers are gathering, and a perfect place to live. Straight ahead, we're going to follow two men who try to help those who have made the airport their home.

Also, an admission of guilt. Football players fess up to using steroids. These are not college students. They are much younger.

Plus, the stars are out in Los Angeles for the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Sibila Vargas out there, too -- Sibila.

SIBILA VARGAS, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: That's right. The champagne has been popped and the celebrations are underway. We'll give you a sneak peek when CNN LIVE SATURDAY continues.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: The thing that adds so much suspense to the Screen Actors Guild Awards -- there's Nicolas Cage arriving, by the way, live on our air. It looked like Nicholas Cage. At any rate, the thing about the Screen Actor's Guild Awards, it's -- that makes it so suspenseful is that is actors voting and then honoring for other actors. So who knows what they're going to come up with. The Screen Actors Guild is bestowing honors for television and film acting in a program that's going to be telecast on our sister network, TNT, live. The hosts and all the hopefuls and other people who are arriving are taking their places in Los Angeles' Shrine Expedition Center.

And some of the stars of both big and small screen are treading the red carpet right now and hoping to be called onto the stage tonight. CNN entertainment correspondent Sibila Vargas is there right now.

Sibila, I was calling a shot there. Was that Nicolas Cage or not?

VARGAS: Am I having fun, is that what you're asking? I'm sorry. I can't hear you.

LIN: No problem...

VARGAS: I think you -- I mean -- well, you know, you were talking about some people who might be getting awards today. Well, you know, Jamie Foxx is definitely a person who has been nominated, four nominations. He's got two nominations for his work in "Ray," and one nomination for his work in "Collateral," for a supporting actor and one in "Redemption."

But hold on a second. I am about to get -- I am about to get a live guest. Oh, there you are. Hello, how are you, Antonio? How are you? Oh, Ricardo, (UNINTELLIGIBLE)?

Now, this gentleman plays Eva Longoria's husband in "Desperate Housewives." And you've just popped the champagne, yes?

RICARDO ANTONIO CHAVIRA, "CARLOS", "DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES": Just popped the champagne, you know. And they introduced me to these nice ladies and I'm just like -- feeling like, you know, it's a great day for a great Mexican man. What can I say?

VARGAS: What a way to open up the celebration.

CHAVIRA: I was like; I'm going to be standing with who? That's great.

VARGAS: And you get along a beautiful woman almost every day, at least every Sunday night.

CHAVIRA: She's all right. Now, Eva's wonderful. She's -- I mean hands down, one of the most beautiful women I've ever met and had the pleasure to work with. So...

VARGAS: Congratulations on getting nominated. The show got nominated in the Best Ensemble cast. Your show getting nominated, "Desperate Housewives."

CHAVIRA: Yes, it's amazing. You know it's kind of funny because I had no -- you know I don't think any of us had any idea that we're going to have all these, you know, award considerations and what not. So you know everybody made other plans like in advance and now it's like you're having to like reschedule flights and it's getting crazy.

VARGAS: And here you are with these two beautiful women drinking champagne.

CHAVIRA: And they've got these nice necklaces on, their Baccarat jewelry, which are actually being auctioned off and the proceeds will benefit the SAG, the Screen Actors Guild Foundation.

VARGAS: Now, what is it about the show that you think resonated with so many people, millions really?

CHAVIRA: I mean, you know, five beautiful women is a good start. But I think it's just, you know, that although it is kind of hyper realty that, you know, so many beautiful women living on the same block, I think there are a lot of threads within the writing and then also within the performance that strike a chord with regards to very realistic situations that are going on and certain dysfunctional relationships all across America. And I think, you know, people tune in because it's like I'd rather laugh at someone else's dirty laundry than my own.

VARGAS: Well, we certainly know a lot of women are watching. Be honest with me, are your guy friends watching too?

CHAVIRA: You know there are a lot of guys watching, supposedly. And I think that -- I think that if they actually kind of looked at -- I wonder if they looked at the numbers, how many man that are watching are actually watching with a wife or a significant other, you know, so that they can both kind of laugh together and like, well, at least, you know, our relationship isn't like that, and then, you know, maybe have -- spark up some interesting conversation about their own relationship.

VARGAS: Yes. You know reality shows were such a buzz for such a long time, but then here comes "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" and all of a sudden we're talking about scripted programming again.

CHAVIRA: Well, and the thing is is like with reality, it's all of a sudden is as voyeuristic as it could be. You're kind of like, well, but that really could happen to me. Or as with this, you know it's scripted and it's like, OK, that's never going to happen to me. So you know it's a heightened sense of reality and I just think it's something that the public needed. It was just the right timing.

VARGAS: What are you looking forward to tonight besides these beautiful women?

CHAVIRA: There's -- I'm just looking forward to enjoying the evening and watching, you know, who the winners are, and you know, we hope a little luck for our own show, our little show.

VARGAS: Congratulations again. All right, all the best. Bye. Thanks.

All right. Well, that's it. Carol, I can't say more than he said but it certainly is a great show...

LIN: You bet.

VARGAS: ...and a great night.

LIN: And what a modest actor, what a modest nominee, our little show, little show indeed. All right, thanks very much, Sibila. We're looking forward to your coverage tonight.

In the meantime, the excitement is building in Jacksonville. Straight ahead, a live report on the Eagles and the Patriots as the kick off of Super Bowl XXXIV draws near.

And that's just a sample, a look at some of the ads that will keep you from getting up from the couch during the game. Plus, some commercials that you wont' be seeing. You're watching CNN LIVE SATURDAY.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Welcome back. I'm Carol Lin, and here's a quick look at what's happening right now in the news.

Rescue teams in Afghanistan are trying to reach the wreckage of an Afghan passenger jet that crashed two days ago. At least three, maybe as many as six of those on board were Americans. Afghan officials are not giving up hope of finding survivors but they say it is unlikely.

And Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has arrived in Turkey where she told Turkish leaders the U.S. supports a united Iraq. The message is meant to assure Turkey that the U.S. will not allow Kurds to break away and form a Kurdish state. Turkey also has a large Kurdish population.

President Bush says strengthening the U.S. economy is the goal of his 2006 budget proposal. The president submits the budget to Congress on Monday. He says the budget makes tax relief permanent and will help to cut the deficit in half by 2009.

Security is tight for Super Bowl XXXIX. More than 80,000 people will pack Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida tomorrow. Police from more than 50 agencies will be aided by state of the art security devices.

Now, tomorrow's Super Bowl game has been called a match up of destiny verses desire. The New England Patriots are seeking to win their third Super Bowl in four years. The Philadelphia Eagles, well, they just want to end their post season losing streak. How about that? CNN's Mark McKay is live in Jacksonville with the latest on that.

Hi, Mark.

MARK MCKAY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: HI, Carol. As the teams sequester themselves behind closed doors ahead of Super Bowl XXXIX, the Pro Football Hall of Fame kept with Super Bowl weekend tradition by announcing their class of 2005. And I tell you what, the quarterback was certainly on display here in Jacksonville as contemporaries. Dan Marino and Steve Young were both elected to the Hall. The Canton, Ohio shrine will welcome both in this summer. Young, a long-time member of the San Francisco 49ers, finished as the highest rated passer in NFL history. And no one throw for more yards or touchdowns than Marino, a lifer behind center whiff, the Miami Dolphins.

Now, there is a strong feeling on Sunday here at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville that we will be watching a future Hall of Famer at work. We're speaking of Tom Brady. He is heading out to emblazon his name even further on pro football lore. The New England quarterback tries, as Carol said, to lead the Patriots to their third Super Bowl crown in four years. One thing is for sure, he doesn't shake easily.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TOM BRADY, PATRIOTS QUARTERBACK: I'm in my fifth year. It doesn't happen nearly as much as it used to. I mean there are still times where it comes up, where you know, maybe you weren't preparing as much for a certain type of looks or certain type of coverages or blitzes that you were getting.

JOE ANDRUZZI, PATRIOTS GUARD: He understands that, you know, getting flustered might fluster other people. So I mean he understands the fact that he's got to go out there and you know people are going to make mistakes. Nobody's perfect. So you make a mistake, you know, you're a real person on how you come back on that and how you overcome that.

ROMAN PHIFER, PATRIOTS LINEBACKER: The only time I ever see Brady flustered probably is in practice. You know there are days when, you know, we don't practice so well. But in the game, pressure situations, he's the guy you want to have.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MCKAY: Yes, we know, no one is perfect, but Brady is pretty close when it comes to post season appearances. He's a perfect 8-0. His counterpart Sunday, Donovan McNabb, a five-time pro bowl quarterback who's career has really come full circle, booed by some Eagles fans when drafted out of Syracuse. It's McNabb who's lead Philadelphia to their first Super Bowl appearance in 25 years.

Carol, it's all systems go here in Jacksonville. One more night of partying. Twenty-four hours from now, they'll be playing football.

LIN: And what a beautiful sky line behind you, Mark, looking forward to it. All right, thanks very much. Mark McKay reporting live from Jacksonville.

You know advertisers hope their Super Bowl commercials get as much attention as the game. Barbara Lippert with "Ad Week" magazine in New York analyzes all those ad campaigns.

Barbara, for $2.4 million for 30 seconds of air time, there's a lot at steak on these ad campaigns. Last year, they were going, literally, for the attention grabber. You remember the dog biting the crotch.

BARBARA LIPPERT, "ADWEEK" MAGAZINE: Well, yes. Of course, last year, the advertisers had a very hard time because the only thing people spoke about was Janet Jackson's breast. And that sort of overshadowed even the horse farting and the crouch biting dog. This year, everybody is saying it's going to be a much more G-rated Super Bowl. Everybody's very aware of it; certainly the NFL is very aware of it. FOX is very aware of it. They've already censored some of the spots. And as one ad guy told me when his spot was rejected, the NFL said, "We don't want to be associated with breasts."

LIN: All right. Well put. In a sense, let's show people actually one of the ads that just got booted very recently. Ford Motor Company almost got this under the wire but let's show a quick clip of what this looked like. It's a priest so in love with a vehicle that he decides the message of his next sermon is going to be about lust and they write the world "lust" on the billboard.

LIPPERT: And I think that regardless when this commercial came out, whether it was the Super Bowl or the Oscars or any other kind of time of year, all of these pressure groups would have been all over it. I can't imagine what they were thinking to link sex and religion now given that our country is so divided and given all of the stuff that's come out lately, you know, about various churches.

LIN: Right. Well...

LIPPERT: It was just...

LIN: ...there's a theory also that the companies actually want to get the attention, get their ads yanked and then put them on the Internet where people are going to be curious about it because of all the publicity, right?

LIPPERT: Well, that's certainly the case for Budweiser because they did something that was a take off on the wardrobe malfunction. FOX wouldn't allow it. They put it on their Web site. They drove lots of traffic there, got everybody interested in their 10 other spots and then, here they look like they're rebels and they can fight the man even though last year, they had the crotch biting dog.

LIN: Yes, but squeaky clean doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't get people talking. In fact, one of our favorite ones we're going to show folks that brings together a bunch of familiar characters. This is a Master Card commercial.

LIPPERT: Right.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Broccoli, $1.79 on debit card.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Casserole anyone?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Tuna, $3.59. Crescent rolls, $2.39. Getting everyone together for dinner, priceless. There are some things money can't buy.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm stuffed to the gills.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: For everything else, there's debit Master Card, accepted at your favorite supermarket.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: All right. That's pretty cute.

LIPPERT: That was very cute. And we're going to see lots of cartoon characters, we're going to see lots of mythical beasts, we're going to see lots of action figures and super heroes because all of that violence and sex has been sublimated into those people.

LIN: Well, do you think -- I mean do you think it's political correctness gone too far?

LIPPERT: I don't really think it's political correctness. I mean, yes, the whole thing about the hypocrisy about the Janet Jackson is its own thing. But last year's commercials, so many of them were really just lowest common denominator, just to get attention and just to do well on the Internet polls. And I'm hoping that it results in just better ads this year.

LIN: All right.

LIPPERT: People have to try harder.

LIN: Two point four million for 30 seconds. Is that money well spent by a company?

LIPPERT: Well, a lot of companies think it is. Anheuser-Busch practically owns the game and everybody's expecting to see lots of beer ads. Like 60 percent of their audience will be watching. Look, car advertisers, you know, that's a prime way to reach all these people. And there's just no other event on American television that brings so many people together and that people are watching for the commercials. It just doesn't happen anywhere else.

LIN: What's the viewership?

LIPPERT: The viewership is something like 130 million worldwide and 90 million in the states. So you know they're getting all of these people, and it's a powerful way to say, you know, they have arrived and they're here and they're competitive.

LIN: You bet. All right. Well, we certainly will be watching and certainly, not only do they invest a lot of money, but there's a lot of Hollywood talent that goes into the productions. I mean their mini productions, aren't they?

LIPPERT: Absolutely. And a lot of celebrities are used. As you saw P. Diddy in the Pepsi one and you know you'll see a couple of other jokey use of celebrities like Burt Reynolds and some surprising people, Patti LaBelle.

LIN: What is Burt Reynolds doing?

LIPPERT: Burt Reynolds is dancing with a bear in a FedEx spot. And I think it's going to be hilarious. They didn't really release the whole thing, but it looks very funny because, you know, Burt Reynolds is a great person to make fun of himself.

LIN: You bet. Better than Joe Nameth and a set of pantyhose, don't you think?

LIPPERT: Yes.

LIN: That was a long time ago.

LIPPERT: We're not going to see -- we're going to see a lot of 80's figures, but not Joe Nameth.

LIN: OK. There he is, Burt and the bear. Barbara Lippert, thank you so much.

LIPPERT: Thank you.

LIN: All right. Would you find -- where would you actually think you might find nearly $200,000 in nickels? Well, this load was not in a bank or even in Las Vegas, try a backyard in Florida. And for many people, it sure beats the streets. How airports have become a shelter for those with nowhere else to go. Straight ahead on CNN LIVE SATURDAY.

Also, among the popular stories this hour on CNN.com, a Huntsville, Alabama woman is charged with killer her three children. An infamous killer in Idaho is set for release. And Dan Marino and Steve Young head this year's class of inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. All you have to do is click on to CNN.com for details.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: All right. Let's take a look at what's happening at the SAG Awards out there in Los Angeles. You're looking at Steven Culp. He plays Rex Van De Camp on the hit TV show, "Desperate Housewives," which is up for a number of awards tonight, including Best Ensemble Cast. So it could be a big night for the new ABC show.

Anyway, the Screen Actors Guild recognizes outstanding film and television acting tonight. The 11th Annual SAG Awards is the only event which actors actually compete for honors from fellow actors. They judge each other. Attendees are gathering at the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center for those awards and CNN's companion network, TNT, is going to telecast the program live beginning at 8:00 tonight Eastern Time.

Also, I've got news across America right now. Police in Florida have found more than 3.5 million nickels, nickels, buried in the bark yard of a suburban Miami home. They are looking for the trucker who was supposed to deliver the $180 in coins to the Federal Reserve Bank in New Orleans. His rig turned up empty December 21 at a truck stop in Fort Pierce.

Startling steroid revelations at a Texas high school. "The Dallas Morning News" reports nine players on the Colleyville Heritage football team have admitted using the banned muscle building drugs during the spring of 2004 and it's believed one of the largest confirmed cases of steroid abuse at a U.S. high school. More on this story at 10:00 tonight.

And Hawaii's Mount Kilauea is putting on a fiery display. The planet's most active volcano is beginning its 23rd year of continuous activity with a spectacular lava flow into the Pacific, beautiful pictures.

Now it sounds like a plot from a recent Tom Hanks movie, a person living in the airport for months on end. But this real life story has no Hollywood ending. As CNN's David Haffenreffer reports, for many homeless people, living in the airport is a means of survival.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DAVID HAFFENREFFER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It's a familiar scene at New York's La Guardia Airport. Passengers sit in the terminals waiting for flights, but this woman, known to us as only Juanita is not a passenger. She is homeless and has been living in the airport for three months.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How long have you been here?

JUANITA: I've been here November 8, 2004.

CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: ...Hollywood bought into the idea. Tom Hanks' character in the movie, "The Terminal," may have seemed out of this world, but we are going to introduce you to some people who are actually living in airports.

Also, award show season in Hollywood. This hour, they're walking the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium. All hour, we are watching the stars come out live.

It's February 5 and you're watching CNN LIVE SATURDAY. From the CNN Global Headquarters in Atlanta, I'm Carol Lin and here's what's happening right now in the news.

Condoleezza Rice is in Turkey, reassuring that nation that the U.S. will not support a Kurdish separatist power in Iraq. Turkish leaders worry if Kurds get more power in Iraq; Kurds in Turkey would want the same. Condoleezza Rice is touring Europe and the Middle East.

It's been a deadly day for Iraqi security forces. A road side bomb exploded near an Iraqi army patrol in Basra, killing four soldiers. Earlier, eight Iraqi police commandos were found dead near Baghdad, seven shot and one beheaded.

And rescue teams are trying to reach the wreckage of an Afghan passenger jet. It crashed on a domestic flight two days ago in rough, mountainous terrain. Of the 104 people on board, at least three were Americans. Afghan officials say it is not likely anyone survived.

Pope John Paul II is reportedly feeling better. A bishop who saw him in the hospital today says the pontiff wants to get back to work. The Vatican says the pope will give a traditional blessing tomorrow from the hospital bed though an aide will read his longer address. We begin tonight with Super Bowl security. It is going to be extraordinarily tight. More than 50 law enforcement agencies have been planning for 18 months, working to keep tomorrow's game free from danger and terrorism. CNN's Susan Candiotti is live in Jacksonville with the latest on security preparations.

Susan, how's it going?

SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Hello, Carol. Well, it's very chilly this evening and we can tell you that a Jacksonville man earlier this week was arrested for allegedly making a Super Bowl threat. Other than that, we are not aware of any other major problems.

Now, among those 50 law enforcement agencies assigned to Super Bowl security is Customs and Border Protection. Two of its pilots gave us an inside look at what they do.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK, on the left side, you're going to see the B-3 coming in.

CANDIOTTI (voice-over): For these two veteran pilots in the cockpit, guarding the air space around the Super Bowl is a mission unlike any other.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Why? This is the greatest sports event we have in the United States and we're protecting that event and we're protecting the American people.

CANDIOTTI: For security reasons, the Customs and Border Protection Black hawk pilots prefer to be known only by their first names, Chris and Rob.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And I hope that the spectators at the Super Bowl have a great time and enjoy themselves. And I hope they don't even realize we're there.

Advertising blimps and planes doting banners over and near the stadium welcome come game time. Not the usual targets these pilots deal with when protecting the White House or world economic summits. Now they're securing a 30 mile no-fly zone over Alltel stadium.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) you put in the left right over?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, left side, left side.

CANDIOTTI: Chris and Rob took us up for a dry run.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Here, Susan, in life, there's always somebody who doesn't get it.

CANDIOTTI: If forewarned pilots don't get it, they'll be tracked, radioed, ordered out, and possibly forced to land for questioning. Surveillance planes are working with a mobile air traffic control center tucked inside this Customs Double Eagle P-3. It tracks all aircraft within a 25-0-mile radius. Much of the attention will be directed at the stadium where last minute security run throughs and half time show preparations are underway. The view is impressive.

(on camera): What are you thinking about as you see they're making this final preparations?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All of the measures that we're taken, all of the precautions that we're taking, it should we be adequate enough to present an event.

CANDIOTTI (voice-over): Prevent an event such as an attack. The fly-overs will watch for suspicious activity throughout the area, around seven cruise ships acting as floating hotels and other outdoor venues including a water front entertainment district.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I would describe it as vigilance. We are prepared to deal with any situation that arises.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

CANDIOTTI: The hope is no situation will come up, but if it does, police say they'll be ready to react -- Carol.

LIN: Susan, how many people are expected in that immediate vicinity for the Super Bowl?

CANDIOTTI: At least 100,000 or so. And of course, the crowds were not -- were fewer earlier in the week because of all of the bad weather, but they have been growing steadily, and they expect a huge crowd, of course, tomorrow.

LIN: You bet. It sounds like you've got a huge crowd behind you. What's going on?

CANDIOTTI: Well, more pre Super Bowl game parties, and they start now -- actually they start in the morning and they last all night long, into the wee hours of the morning as you can imagine, Carol.

LIN: As I can imagine. All right, Susan Candiotti, stay safe and have a good time. Thanks.

Please be sure to watch CNN's "AMERICAN MORNING" on Monday for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at security operations during tomorrow's Super Bowl. CNN has been granted exclusive access to the command center in Jacksonville as well as all the law enforcement agencies that will be protecting people during tomorrow's game, so don't miss this exclusive, all access report only on CNN's "AMERICAN MORNING" on Monday starting at 7:00 Eastern.

In the meantime, stay tuned to CNN day and night for the most reliable news about your security. In fact, later in this broadcast, we're going to have a live report from Jacksonville on the match up for tomorrow's big game and we're going to take a closer look at some Super Bowl ads that you are going to see and those you won't.

In the meantime, we're going to move on to other security concerns, social security to be exact. President Bush today devoted part of his weekly radio address to his plan to overhaul the program. CNN's Elaine Quijano is live at the White House with details on that.

Good evening, Elaine.

ELAINE QUIJANO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good evening to you, Carol. That's right. President Bush in his weekly radio address echoed what he said earlier this week, that he believes social security insolvency is a looming problem and that lawmakers should act now to fix it. But people on both sides of the aisle are having reservations.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

QUIJANO (voice-over): In the battle to overhaul social security, President Bush knows full well the political stakes are high.

GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: It used to be called the third rail of American politics. If you touched it, you would be shocked, sometimes shocked out of politics.

QUIJANO: But the idea of touching the third rail makes some Republicans nervous. They need to get reelected, the president doesn't.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He does have to assure conservatives that Republicans can address this issue without getting beaten up in the polls. He also has to show Democrats that he is truly concerned about the future of social security.

QUIJANO: The president's move to frame the debate over social security appears to be working. A new poll by "Newsweek" magazine shows most Americans, 65 percent, agree with him that social security faces a funding crisis. Twenty-six percent disagree. Yet, they were split on the president's ideas for changing the system. Twenty-six percent favor them, 36 percent are opposed, and 30 percent said they were not aware of the proposals.

To raise that awareness, this week, the president embarked on a post State of the Union road trip through five states to sell his idea.

BUSH: It's your money that's going into the social security trust. You're working and you're paying the payroll taxes. And I think some of that money ought to go into a retirement account.

QUIJANO: But Democrats and seniors are digging in for a fight.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Democrats are unified. Democrats are ready for this fight.

SEN. BYRON DORGAN (D), NORTH DAKOTA: There's not anything that I'm aware of that would persuade me that we should borrow 1 to $3 trillion, cut social security benefits, stick the borrowed money in the stock market and think that'll be good for the country or good for senior citizens. It will not be.

QUIJANO: The president isn't getting a free pass from his own party either. Some conservatives within the GOP, like Indiana congressman, Mike Pence, believe the president's plan should go further, not just allowing four percent of your wages to be invested but six percent.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

QUIJANO: Now, the only deal breakers President Bush has mentioned, he doesn't want to raise payroll taxes and he has also promised to not change benefits for those at or near requirement age. But Carol, other than that, the president says he's open to all other ideas, clearly, leaving the ball in Congress' court.

LIN: A lot could change. Thanks very much. Elaine Quijano live at the White House.

I want to tell you about a gruesome investigation which is underway right now in Huntsville, Alabama. Please there have charged a woman with killing her three children. Their bodies were found in an apartment yesterday and police say they are waiting on autopsies to reveal when and how the children died. The victims, ages 8, 9, and 11 had not shown up for school in weeks.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Huntsville police questioned the mother, questioned family members. The children had not returned to Ridgecrest Elementary School at the time after school break. The Department of Human Resources did respond and talk -- trying to get to the mother but she would not go to the door. Meanwhile, family members had not seen the children for a while.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: Police say the children's' father did not live with the woman and he has also been questioned in this case. We've got much more on that story coming up in our primetime show at 10:00 tonight Eastern.

In the meantime, the search is over in another disturbing case. A couple accused of torturing and starving children in their care is now behind bars. CNN's Jason Bellini reports.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JASON BELLINI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Police in Utah Friday evening arrested Linda and John Dollar. Both are wanted in Florida on charges of aggravated child abuse and torture of their five of their seven foster children.

CAPT. JIM CERNICH, CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: They combed the area and were just about ready to shut down operations when they spotted the vehicle. They stopped the Dollars on the roadway and then arrested them and took them to the county jail. BELLINI: Friday morning the sheriff's department in Beverly Hills, Florida, revealed the gruesome details of what the children say went on inside their home. The Dollars alleged used electric shock on the children, forced them to sleep in a closet, chained them to walls, pulled their toenails out with pliers, and left them severely malnourished.

GAIL TIERNEY, CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: I've seen pictures of the children that have been, you know, taken in connection with this case. And you know, I mean, they have very sweet faces but when you look at their bodies, I mean, it looks like Auschwitz.

BELLINI: The investigation began January 21. Paramedics responded to a 911 call. They discovered a 16-year-old boy, bruised, bleeding, and weighing only 59 pounds. It wasn't until six days later that Florida's Department of Children and Families recovered the other six children, including twin 14-year-old boys weighing 36 and 38 pounds. Child advocates are questioning why it took so long.

KAREN GIEVERS, CHILD ADVOCATE: There's no excuse for leaving children in danger under the circumstances that we're hearing about.

BELLINI: Governor Jeb Bush says the children were not on record with Florida's foster care system and the agency acted swiftly to remove the children.

GOV. JEB BUSH (R), FLORIDA: It's just tragic that parents, in this case, adoptive parents; these are parents that received these kids under adoption in the early 1990's, would do what they did.

BELLINI: The Dollars and their adopted children had lived for a couple of years in Knoxville, Tennessee and then moved back to Florida. The woman who leased the house to them said the children never played outside.

JEAN UNDERWOOD, REAL ESTATE AGENT: And there were seven children and they tell me they were from homes in Florida, that they were mistreated and they were -- it was a foster care deal of some kind.

BELLINI (on camera): Jean Underwood also told us that on her visits to the Dollar household something seemed very strange there. The children were virtually silent. They never played outside. She was looking for a reason to call child protective services, but she never found one.

Jason Bellini, CNN, Knoxville, Tennessee.

JIM BUTLER, FATHER OF SGT. JAKE BUTLER: Jake knew he wasn't coming back, but he still went forward. So to me, that's beyond honor. (END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: ...on the front lines tonight, a determined father braves danger in Iraq to keep a promise to his fallen son. And many have fallen through the cracks when it comes to health care, but now one program aims to cure the ills of the Latino community. And holy smokes, for many Cubans, it's the essence of their existence. But now new laws are snuffing out stogies.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Every week during this program, we bring your personal stories from the front lines. Well, today, we're going to take a poignant look at how a Kansas father is coping with loss. To keep a promise, he went halfway around the world to find the spot where his son was killed. Our Jonathan Freed has his story.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JONATHAN FREED, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Jake Butler was born in this small town. A quarter century later, he would die in another, half a world away.

BUTLER: He got a Silver Star, a Bronze Star. He's got the Clover, Purple Heart.

FREED: Army Sergeant Jacob Butler was the first person from Kansas killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom in the opening days of the war, shot in the head by Iraqi forces on April 1, 2003. It's been almost two years, but for Jake's father, Jim, too often, it feels like yesterday.

BUTLER: You learn to deal with it or you learn to cope with it. But deep down, if you open you up, it's laying right there.

FREED: People tend to share each other's pain in a small down. In Welsville, it's especially so.

(on camera): This is a town of about 1,500 people and right now there are 61 of them serving in uniform. Do the math and that comes out to about four percent of the town's population or one out of every 25 people.

BUTLER: It kind of sends chills down your spine, doesn't it, when you think about it there. I don't know what they strongly believe in.

FREED (voice-over): The names are proudly on display at the public library where they say a third are now serving in Iraq. Jake's name is set apart from the rest. And his father says Jake knew it would be, explaining his son was convinced he wasn't coming home.

Jim Butler has channeled some of his grief into a book he's writing about his son's sacrifice, titled "Beyond Honor."

BUTLER: Jake knew he wasn't coming back, but he still went forward. To me, that's beyond honor. He went beyond honor. OK.

FREED: Six months after Jake's death, his father set out on his own dangerous mission, to visit the place in Iraq where his son was killed.

BUTLER: I was looking at fulfilling a promise I made to Jake and it was the last promise I made him. And I was going to do whatever it took to keep it.

FREED: After arriving in Kuwait, Butler says the military tried at first to turn him away. But when they saw his determination, the Army organized a mission and flew him to Samawa (ph), Iraq, a small town by the Euphrates River. One of the soldiers escorting Butler took this video for him, as a father confronted his demons, playing his son's favorite songs at the spot where Jake died.

BUTLER: When I did go to Iraq, I did find somewhat of a peace where Jake was killed at. He made a difference in a little town maybe even for just a short time. At least I feel that he still made a difference there in that town.

FREED: Despite his family's fears before the trip, Jim Butler was convinced his fate would be different from his son's.

BUTLER: I had no doubts that I was coming home.

FREED: Now he hopes the milestone of the Iraqi elections will mean the troops can soon start coming home.

BUTLER: Jake gave his life for them to have freedom for even a short time then maybe it was worth it. But I mean it wasn't worth losing Jake, but it was worth what they were out to do, it was what they were out to accomplish.

FREED: Butler prays that when all of Welsville's soldiers come home, Jake's name will still be the only one in the library window set apart from the rest.

Jonathan Freed, CNN, Welsville, Kansas.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LIN: A father as brave as his son.

Well, a crowded airport. We're going to show you a picture you're not going to believe, a place where countless strangers are gathering, and a perfect place to live. Straight ahead, we're going to follow two men who try to help those who have made the airport their home.

Also, an admission of guilt. Football players fess up to using steroids. These are not college students. They are much younger.

Plus, the stars are out in Los Angeles for the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Sibila Vargas out there, too -- Sibila. SIBILA VARGAS, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: That's right. The champagne has been popped and the celebrations are underway. We'll give you a sneak peek when CNN LIVE SATURDAY continues.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: The thing that adds so much suspense to the Screen Actors Guild Awards -- there's Nicolas Cage arriving, by the way, live on our air. It looked like Nicholas Cage. At any rate, the thing about the Screen Actor's Guild Awards, it's -- that makes it so suspenseful is that is actors voting and then honoring for other actors. So who knows what they're going to come up with. The Screen Actors Guild is bestowing honors for television and film acting in a program that's going to be telecast on our sister network, TNT, live. The hosts and all the hopefuls and other people who are arriving are taking their places in Los Angeles' Shrine Expedition Center.

And some of the stars of both big and small screen are treading the red carpet right now and hoping to be called onto the stage tonight. CNN entertainment correspondent Sibila Vargas is there right now.

Sibila, I was calling a shot there. Was that Nicolas Cage or not?

VARGAS: Am I having fun, is that what you're asking? I'm sorry. I can't hear you.

LIN: No problem...

VARGAS: I think you -- I mean -- well, you know, you were talking about some people who might be getting awards today. Well, you know, Jamie Foxx is definitely a person who has been nominated, four nominations. He's got two nominations for his work in "Ray," and one nomination for his work in "Collateral," for a supporting actor and one in "Redemption."

But hold on a second. I am about to get -- I am about to get a live guest. Oh, there you are. Hello, how are you, Antonio? How are you? Oh, Ricardo, (UNINTELLIGIBLE)?

Now, this gentleman plays Eva Longoria's husband in "Desperate Housewives." And you've just popped the champagne, yes?

RICARDO ANTONIO CHAVIRA, "CARLOS", "DESPARATE HOUSEWIVES": Just popped the champagne, you know. And they introduced me to these nice ladies and I'm just like -- feeling like, you know, it's a great day for a great Mexican man. What can I say?

VARGAS: What a way to open up the celebration.

CHAVIRA: I was like; I'm going to be standing with who? That's great.

VARGAS: And you get along a beautiful woman almost every day, at least every Sunday night. CHAVIRA: She's all right. Now, Eva's wonderful. She's -- I mean hands down, one of the most beautiful women I've ever met and had the pleasure to work with. So...

VARGAS: Congratulations on getting nominated. The show got nominated in the Best Ensemble cast. Your show getting nominated, "Desperate Housewives."

CHAVIRA: Yes, it's amazing. You know it's kind of funny because I had no -- you know I don't think any of us had any idea that we're going to have all these, you know, award considerations and what not. So you know everybody made other plans like in advance and now it's like you're having to like reschedule flights and it's getting crazy.

VARGAS: And here you are with these two beautiful women drinking champagne.

CHAVIRA: And they've got these nice necklaces on, their Baccarat jewelry, which are actually being auctioned off and the proceeds will benefit the SAG, the Screen Actors Guild Foundation.

VARGAS: Now, what is it about the show that you think resonated with so many people, millions really?

CHAVIRA: I mean, you know, five beautiful women is a good start. But I think it's just, you know, that although it is kind of hyper realty that, you know, so many beautiful women living on the same block, I think there are a lot of threads within the writing and then also within the performance that strike a chord with regards to very realistic situations that are going on and certain dysfunctional relationships all across America. And I think, you know, people tune in because it's like I'd rather laugh at someone else's dirty laundry than my own.

VARGAS: Well, we certainly know a lot of women are watching. Be honest with me, are your guy friends watching too?

CHAVIRA: You know there are a lot of guys watching, supposedly. And I think that -- I think that if they actually kind of looked at -- I wonder if they looked at the numbers, how many man that are watching are actually watching with a wife or a significant other, you know, so that they can both kind of laugh together and like, well, at least, you know, our relationship isn't like that, and then, you know, maybe have -- spark up some interesting conversation about their own relationship.

VARGAS: Yes. You know reality shows were such a buzz for such a long time, but then here comes "Lost" and "Desperate Housewives" and all of a sudden we're talking about scripted programming again.

CHAVIRA: Well, and the thing is is like with reality, it's all of a sudden is as voyeuristic as it could be. You're kind of like, well, but that really could happen to me. Or as with this, you know it's scripted and it's like, OK, that's never going to happen to me. So you know it's a heightened sense of reality and I just think it's something that the public needed. It was just the right timing. VARGAS: What are you looking forward to tonight besides these beautiful women?

CHAVIRA: There's -- I'm just looking forward to enjoying the evening and watching, you know, who the winners are, and you know, we hope a little luck for our own show, our little show.

VARGAS: Congratulations again. All right, all the best. Bye. Thanks.

All right. Well, that's it. Carol, I can't say more than he said but it certainly is a great show...

LIN: You bet.

VARGAS: ...and a great night.

LIN: And what a modest actor, what a modest nominee, our little show, little show indeed. All right, thanks very much, Sibila. We're looking forward to your coverage tonight.

In the meantime, the excitement is building in Jacksonville. Straight ahead, a live report on the Eagles and the Patriots as the kick off of Super Bowl XXXIV draws near.

And that's just a sample, a look at some of the ads that will keep you from getting up from the couch during the game. Plus, some commercials that you wont' be seeing. You're watching CNN LIVE SATURDAY.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Welcome back. I'm Carol Lin, and here's a quick look at what's happening right now in the news.

Rescue teams in Afghanistan are trying to reach the wreckage of an Afghan passenger jet that crashed two days ago. At least three, maybe as many as six of those on board were Americans. Afghan officials are not giving up hope of finding survivors but they say it is unlikely.

And Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has arrived in Turkey where she told Turkish leaders the U.S. supports a united Iraq. The message is meant to assure Turkey that the U.S. will not allow Kurds to break away and form a Kurdish state. Turkey also has a large Kurdish population.

President Bush says strengthening the U.S. economy is the goal of his 2006 budget proposal. The president submits the budget to Congress on Monday. He says the budget makes tax relief permanent and will help to cut the deficit in half by 2009.

Security is tight for Super Bowl XXXIX. More than 80,000 people will pack Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville, Florida tomorrow. Police from more than 50 agencies will be aided by state of the art security devices. Now, tomorrow's Super Bowl game has been called a match up of destiny verses desire. The New England Patriots are seeking to win their third Super Bowl in four years. The Philadelphia Eagles, well, they just want to end their post season losing streak. How about that? CNN's Mark McKay is live in Jacksonville with the latest on that.

Hi, Mark.

MARK MCKAY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: HI, Carol. As the teams sequester themselves behind closed doors ahead of Super Bowl XXXIX, the Pro Football Hall of Fame kept with Super Bowl weekend tradition by announcing their class of 2005. And I tell you what, the quarterback was certainly on display here in Jacksonville as contemporaries. Dan Marino and Steve Young were both elected to the Hall. The Canton, Ohio shrine will welcome both in this summer. Young, a long-time member of the San Francisco 49ers, finished as the highest rated passer in NFL history. And no one throw for more yards or touchdowns than Marino, a lifer behind center whiff, the Miami Dolphins.

Now, there is a strong feeling on Sunday here at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville that we will be watching a future Hall of Famer at work. We're speaking of Tom Brady. He is heading out to emblazon his name even further on pro football lore. The New England quarterback tries, as Carol said, to lead the Patriots to their third Super Bowl crown in four years. One thing is for sure, he doesn't shake easily.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TOM BRADY, PATRIOTS QUARTERBACK: I'm in my fifth year. It doesn't happen nearly as much as it used to. I mean there are still times where it comes up, where you know, maybe you weren't preparing as much for a certain type of looks or certain type of coverages or blitzes that you were getting.

JOE ANDRUZZI, PATRIOTS GUARD: He understands that, you know, getting flustered might fluster other people. So I mean he understands the fact that he's got to go out there and you know people are going to make mistakes. Nobody's perfect. So you make a mistake, you know, you're a real person on how you come back on that and how you overcome that.

ROMAN PHIFER, PATRIOTS LINEBACKER: The only time I ever see Brady flustered probably is in practice. You know there are days when, you know, we don't practice so well. But in the game, pressure situations, he's the guy you want to have.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MCKAY: Yes, we know, no one is perfect, but Brady is pretty close when it comes to post season appearances. He's a perfect 8-0. His counterpart Sunday, Donovan McNabb, a five-time pro bowl quarterback who's career has really come full circle, booed by some Eagles fans when drafted out of Syracuse. It's McNabb who's lead Philadelphia to their first Super Bowl appearance in 25 years. Carol, it's all systems go here in Jacksonville. One more night of partying. Twenty-four hours from now, they'll be playing football.

LIN: And what a beautiful sky line behind you, Mark, looking forward to it. All right, thanks very much. Mark McKay reporting live from Jacksonville.

You know advertisers hope their Super Bowl commercials get as much attention as the game. Barbara Lippert with "Ad Week" magazine in New York analyzes all those ad campaigns.

Barbara, for $2.4 million for 30 seconds of air time, there's a lot at steak on these ad campaigns. Last year, they were going, literally, for the attention grabber. You remember the dog biting the crotch.

BARBARA LIPPERT, "ADWEEK" MAGAZINE: Well, yes. Of course, last year, the advertisers had a very hard time because the only thing people spoke about was Janet Jackson's breast. And that sort of overshadowed even the horse farting and the crouch biting dog. This year, everybody is saying it's going to be a much more G-rated Super Bowl. Everybody's very aware of it; certainly the NFL is very aware of it. FOX is very aware of it. They've already censored some of the spots. And as one ad guy told me when his spot was rejected, the NFL said, "We don't want to be associated with breasts."

LIN: All right. Well put. In a sense, let's show people actually one of the ads that just got booted very recently. Ford Motor Company almost got this under the wire but let's show a quick clip of what this looked like. It's a priest so in love with a vehicle that he decides the message of his next sermon is going to be about lust and they write the world "lust" on the billboard.

LIPPERT: And I think that regardless when this commercial came out, whether it was the Super Bowl or the Oscars or any other kind of time of year, all of these pressure groups would have been all over it. I can't imagine what they were thinking to link sex and religion now given that our country is so divided and given all of the stuff that's come out lately, you know, about various churches.

LIN: Right. Well...

LIPPERT: It was just...

LIN: ...there's a theory also that the companies actually want to get the attention, get their ads yanked and then put them on the Internet where people are going to be curious about it because of all the publicity, right?

LIPPERT: Well, that's certainly the case for Budweiser because they did something that was a take off on the wardrobe malfunction. FOX wouldn't allow it. They put it on their Web site. They drove lots of traffic there, got everybody interested in their 10 other spots and then, here they look like they're rebels and they can fight the man even though last year, they had the crotch biting dog. LIN: Yes, but squeaky clean doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't get people talking. In fact, one of our favorite ones we're going to show folks that brings together a bunch of familiar characters. This is a Master Card commercial.

LIPPERT: Right.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Broccoli, $1.79 on debit card.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Casserole anyone?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Tuna, $3.59. Crescent rolls, $2.39. Getting everyone together for dinner, priceless. There are some things money can't buy.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm stuffed to the gills.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: For everything else, there's debit Master Card, accepted at your favorite supermarket.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIN: All right. That's pretty cute.

LIPPERT: That was very cute. And we're going to see lots of cartoon characters, we're going to see lots of mythical beasts, we're going to see lots of action figures and super heroes because all of that violence and sex has been sublimated into those people.

LIN: Well, do you think -- I mean do you think it's political correctness gone too far?

LIPPERT: I don't really think it's political correctness. I mean, yes, the whole thing about the hypocrisy about the Janet Jackson is its own thing. But last year's commercials, so many of them were really just lowest common denominator, just to get attention and just to do well on the Internet polls. And I'm hoping that it results in just better ads this year.

LIN: All right.

LIPPERT: People have to try harder.

LIN: Two point four million for 30 seconds. Is that money well spent by a company?

LIPPERT: Well, a lot of companies think it is. Anheuser-Busch practically owns the game and everybody's expecting to see lots of beer ads. Like 60 percent of their audience will be watching. Look, car advertisers, you know, that's a prime way to reach all these people. And there's just no other event on American television that brings so many people together and that people are watching for the commercials. It just doesn't happen anywhere else.

LIN: What's the viewership?

LIPPERT: The viewership is something like 130 million worldwide and 90 million in the states. So you know they're getting all of these people, and it's a powerful way to say, you know, they have arrived and they're here and they're competitive.

LIN: You bet. All right. Well, we certainly will be watching and certainly, not only do they invest a lot of money, but there's a lot of Hollywood talent that goes into the productions. I mean their mini productions, aren't they?

LIPPERT: Absolutely. And a lot of celebrities are used. As you saw P. Diddy in the Pepsi one and you know you'll see a couple of other jokey use of celebrities like Burt Reynolds and some surprising people, Patti Labelle.

LIN: What is Burt Reynolds doing?

LIPPERT: Burt Reynolds is dancing with a bear in a FedEx spot. And I think it's going to be hilarious. They didn't really release the whole thing, but it looks very funny because, you know, Burt Reynolds is a great person to make fun of himself.

LIN: You bet. Better than Joe Nameth and a set of pantyhose, don't you think?

LIPPERT: Yes.

LIN: That was a long time ago.

LIPPERT: We're not going to see -- we're going to see a lot of 80's figures, but not Joe Nameth.

LIN: OK. There he is, Burt and the bear. Barbara Lippert, thank you so much.

LIPPERT: Thank you.

LIN: All right. Would you find -- where would you actually think you might find nearly $200,000 in nickels? Well, this load was not in a bank or even in Las Vegas, try a backyard in Florida. And for many people, it sure beats the streets. How airports have become a shelter for those with nowhere else to go. Straight ahead on CNN LIVE SATURDAY.

Also, among the popular stories this hour on CNN.com, a Huntsville, Alabama woman is charged with killer her three children. An infamous killer in Idaho is set for release. And Dan Marino and Steve Young head this year's class of inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. All you have to do is click on to CNN.com for details.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: All right. Let's take a look at what's happening at the SAG Awards out there in Los Angeles. You're looking at Steven Culp. He plays Rex Van De Camp on the hit TV show, "Desperate Housewives," which is up for a number of awards tonight, including Best Ensemble Cast. So it could be a big night for the new ABC show.

Anyway, the Screen Actors Guild recognizes outstanding film and television acting tonight. The 11th Annual SAG Awards is the only event which actors actually compete for honors from fellow actors. They judge each other. Attendees are gathering at the Los Angeles Shrine Exposition Center for those awards and CNN's companion network, TNT, is going to telecast the program live beginning at 8:00 tonight Eastern Time.

Also, I've got news across America right now. Police in Florida have found more than 3.5 million nickels, nickels, buried in the bark yard of a suburban Miami home. They are looking for the trucker who was supposed to deliver the $180 in coins to the Federal Reserve Bank in New Orleans. His rig turned up empty December 21 at a truck stop in Fort Pierce.

Startling steroid revelations at a Texas high school. "The Dallas Morning News" reports nine players on the Colleyville Heritage football team have admitted using the banned muscle building drugs during the spring of 2004 and it's believed one of the largest confirmed cases of steroid abuse at a U.S. high school. More on this story at 10:00 tonight.

And Hawaii's Mount Kilauea is putting on a fiery display. The planet's most active volcano is beginning its 23rd year of continuous activity with a spectacular lava flow into the Pacific, beautiful pictures.

Now it sounds like a plot from a recent Tom Hanks movie, a person living in the airport for months on end. But this real life story has no Hollywood ending. As CNN's David Haffenreffer reports, for many homeless people, living in the airport is a means of survival.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DAUID HAFFENREFFER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It's a familiar scene at New York's La Guardia Airport. Passengers sit in the terminals waiting for flights, but this woman, known to us as only Juanita is not a passenger. She is homeless and has been living in the airport for three months.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How long have you been here?

JUANITA: I've been here November 8, 2004.

HAFFENREFFER: Juanita looks like a traveler, carries luggage, and looks constantly at an old airline ticket. But she is one of an estimated 200 homeless people living inside New York's two major airports.

MICHAEL NOEL, VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA: Good morning. Good morning again, Juanita. How are you today? Can we help you today?

HAFFENREFFER: Michael Noel and Howard Cunningham are outreach workers who patrol the airports looking for the homeless.

NOEL: How are you doing? We're still here for you. Anytime that you need us, we have a crew.

HAFFENREFFER: They walk the airport every day, encouraging but not forcing the homeless they find to seek shelter and help.

NOEL: We speak and then we listen, mostly we listen because we want to know their story. We want to know why they're here. How did they get here? And then we try from that angle to give them the necessary information that we may have that can help them better their situation.

HAFFENREFFER: One of the big challenges, finding them.

HOWARD CUNNINGHAM, VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA: A lot of people look like passengers, you know? They walk around with smart carts. You know they may have one bag.

How are you?

HAFFENREFFER: In the food court, Noel and Cunningham run into Jane, a homeless woman they've seen for the past few weeks. At first, she is reluctant...

NOEL: You're tired? May I sit?

JANE: No, no, I don't want to go into this right now. I don't...

NOEL: You sure?

HAFFENREFFER: ...but soon opens up.

JANE: I'd like to get out of that.

CUNNINGHAM: Well, we'd like to help you.

NOEL: We can help you with that. We know what we're going to get into before we even get here, you know, because they're going to tell us no. They're going to tell us no. They're going to tell us no. But then we're looking for that day when they say yes.

HAFFENREFFER: Noel and Cunningham hope one day Juanita will say yes.

David Haffenreffer, CNN, New York.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LIN: When CNN LIVE SATURDAY returns, how one university is trying to close the health care gap among Latinos.

And a country famous for its cigars tries to come to grips with changing times.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: Did you know that strokes are the third leading cause of death in the United States but the powerful drug, TPA, can limit the damage they cause? So why do so few stroke victims, just three percent, actually receive it? Well, new research is providing some answers and it says hospital phone operators often don't recognize stroke symptoms and don't urge callers to come in for help. And another reason, emergency room doctors are afraid of the drug's side effects. TPA Was approved to treat strokes back in 1996.

Also, hospitals are treating more and more Latinos these days. They are the fastest growing minority group in the United States, and they face not only health care issues, but often language and cultural barriers as well. Well, a new program in California aims to address that and CNN's Peter Viles has that story.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

MARNIE GRANADOS, UC IRVINE MEDICAL STUDENT: (SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

PETER VILES, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): For a young doctor, a difficult case, the patient has high blood pressure, severe chest pain, and speaks no English. Thankfully, this is just a role playing exercise. Marnie Granados (ph) is a first year medical student.

GRANADOS: This was a case where the patient had last seen a doctor three years ago.

VILES: Marnie is one of eight students in a new program at the University of California at Irvine that trains doctors specifically to treat Hispanic patients and to become activists in Hispanic communities.

GRANADOS: Already, there's data showing that over half of all births in California are from Latino parents. And so we have a growing number of people that are in need of physicians who understand their culture, their language and their health beliefs.

VILES: What makes treating Hispanics different? As these students learned while studying in Mexico, language and cultural barriers that leave many Hispanics distrustful of the American health care system.

CARL SMITH, UC IRVINE MEDICAL STUDENT: If they don't feel understood, there are studies that show they're not going to feel like they're getting the best service. They're actually a lot of times not going to -- they're not going to cooperate with the doctor and they're not going to believe that they're going to get better, and sometimes their symptoms aren't going to improve psychologically just because they don't trust their doctor.

VILES: This is a national issue. Studies have shown the exploding Hispanic population lags behind in access to health care.

DR. ALBERTO MANETTA, ASSOCIATE DEAN, UCI MEDICAL SCHOOL: There are health care goals that cannot be achieved until you reach a significant segment of the population, issues like vaccinations, cancer prevention, hypertension management and so on. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Your CO2 production is equal to their (UNINTELLIGIBLE) ventilation.

VILES: Medical school usually lasts four years, but Carl and Marnie have chosen a long road, a five year program that will lead them directly to Hispanic communities in need of help.

Peter Viles, CNN, Irvine, California.

LIN: And just ahead, spoke them if you got them, but you won't be able to much longer. A worldwide trend to curve smoking is about to take effect in an island nation famous for its tobacco.

And now, here's Al Hunt to tell us what "THE CAPITAL GANG" has coming up.

AL HUNT, CO-HOST, "THE CAPITAL GANG": We'll take a look at the president's State of the Union speech, the confirmation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez and a Super Bowl preview with the president of NFL film, Steve Sabol. All that and more next on CNN.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LIN: They are an icon of Cuba, the fine, fat cigars mass produced for generations. But now smokers in Cuba are being told to take their stogies and their cigarettes outside. Well, tomorrow a smoking ban goes into effect across Cuba and not everyone is happy about it. Here's our Lucia Newman.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

LUCIA NEWMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, and discovered this, Cuban tobacco. But holy smokes, 513 years after Columbus first caught them smoking, Cubans are being told they can't continue indulging in something that for many is the essence of being Cuban.

New regulations that go into effect February 7 forbid Cubans from smoking in taxies and buses. A blow too many drivers and passengers. And says the government, no more smoking allowed either in trains theaters, offices, hospitals and air conditioned or enclosed areas. Restaurants will now have smoke free areas. All this shocking to this man who claims he's been smoking since he left his mother's bosom.

"I know it's bad for me, but it's a vice that's so ingrained in me that I can't leave it. I once tried to stop smoking, but I had to go back because I felt like hanging myself," he says.

In this country famous for it's tobacco, nearly 40 percent of their adults smoke cigars and/or cigarettes. The Communist government ration card entitles people born before 1955 to three packs and two stogies a month at a discount price. But with the increased cost in lives and health care, the government is outlawing the sale of cigarettes to minors and is looking to make smoking in public a part of Cuban history. Measure many say are long over due.

"I have allergies and all that smoke bothers me," says this woman.

"I'll just have to puff at home," says this resigned hard core smoker.

(on camera): No problem for at least one well-known Cuban. Fidel Castro says he kicked the habit years ago and likely not just for the sake of his lungs. At least one of the reported assassination attempts against the Communist leader reportedly involved a CIA plot to poison his cigar.

(voice-over): For other Cubans, now is the time to put out their cigarette except on state owned Cubana Air, one of the only airlines in the world that still allows smoking on international flights.

Lucia Newman, CNN, Havana.
