cbs news correspondent don teague is in dallas, southwest's home base. with more with new trouble for southwest airlines. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, chris. it was a frightening incident for passengers on board a southwest airlines flight. as you mentioned, 142 passengers on this plane last night that had left oakland, and was en route to san diego. the plane didn't make it there. it had to divert to los angeles after the passengers began smelling smoke in the cabin. so, as a precaution they landed safely in los angeles. now, of course, southwest has canceled 600 flights over the weekend and is continuing inspecting its 737s for cracks, after friday's incident that could have been disastrous. what caused a southwest airlines 737 to tear open and depressurize friday at 36,000 feet? while there is no clear answer yet, these newly released photos show federal investigators

inspecting the 5 foot by one foot tear in the plane. they found multiple pre-existing cracks in and around the hole. >> we did find evidence of widespread cracking across this entire fracture surface. >> reporter: mechanics on sunday worked to cut out the section so it can be sent to an ntsb lab in washington for closer scrutiny. meanwhile, southwest grounded 79 of its 737s for additional inspection, 19 of those planes have returned to service. but small subsurface cracks have been found. repairs will be necessary before they fly again. it's not the first time this happened on a southwest flight. in 2009, metal fatigue caused a football-sized hole to tear open in another southwest 737. >> once the aircraft well maintained and should it have been maintained better, that is

exactly why we are here to look at why this problem occurred. >> reporter: friday's incident happened about 18 minutes after the southwest flight took off from phoenix. >> there was a loud bang. >> reporter: what passengers saw was horrifying. >> people said my god, you can see the sky. >> reporter: a flight attendant and passenger lost consciousness as the pilot rapidly descended the aircraft 25,000 feet in just 4.5 minutes before making an emergency landing in yuma, arizona. in a written statement, southwest says the aircraft involved was in compliance with faa mandated and boeing recommended inspections. and, what we saw with flight 812 was a new and unknown issue. but the associated press says records show cracks were found in the air frame a year ago. and repaired. again, southwest airlines had to cancel about 600 flights over the weekend. they say there will be more cancellations today, at least 100 that they announced so far. the inspections should be

complete by sometime tomorrow. don teague, cbs news, dallas. joining us from washington is aviation safety export mark rosen. good morning. >> good morning. >> i think people are probably saying what is going on. you have the southwest airlines flight 812 we'll talk about in a second. one last night that we had breaking news with here and then two emergency landings yesterday at jfk, a jet blue plane, an american airlines jet with a pressure problem. what's going on here? >> unfortunately we're seeing a spate of a lot of incidents that need to be examined. but overall i still believe we have one of the safest aviation systems in the world. and as a result of the overall scrutiny and oversight by the faa i think we're doing a good job of making sure our passengers get to and from their destinations in a safe manner. >> let's talk about flight 812 from this weekend now. what causes the cracking that we're seeing on these 737s?

and in this case for a hole to blow open in the fuselage mid flight. >> this is a disturbing incident that occurred on friday night. there are a lot of things that could possibly cause such an incident. corrosion, fatigue, potentially even, while they were doing maintenance, some damage. lightning strikes. there are a number of things. the board of course is going to take that piece back to washington and do a meticulous examination of that metal to understand exactly what caused this problem. >> there's a lot of wear and tear on 737s because there is so much activity with these planes. they do a lot of short jumps. do all airlines now need to readdress their equipment, their 737 equipment and examine if these cracks now that they know specifically ha to look for? >> in this model, the 737 300, i believe the boeing company is going to put out a service bulletin. the faa is going to look carefully at how they are doing

oversight and making sure the maintenance and inspection is done in the proper way. this may turn out to be that we need to step up our inspection process to guarantee that we have the safest aircraft we can be flying. >> i want to ask you about this southwest plane. 15 years old, it's recorded 39,000 take-offs and landings. eight cracks were discovered in 2010. i guess the big question is when you hear all this, why was this plane still flying? >> well, an aircraft like this with about 40,000 cycles is still what would one could call in its mid life. when you start to get into the numbers that we saw, for example in the aloha accident in 1988 where you had close to 90,000 cycles on a 19-year-old aircraft flying an environment conducive to corrosion that's when you have a plane that needs to be reteared. >> all right. good to talk with you. thank you so much. now here is erica. >> i want to turn to the latest from capitol hill where if democrats and republicans cannot

reach a budget deal, the federal government could shut down on friday. cbs news congressional correspondent nancy cordes is there with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: erica, good morning. the clock may be winding down. democrats and republicans are still at odds over a number of key issues and can't seem to agree on how close they are to agreement. with the budget deadline looming democrats are signaling a deal is near. >> we've agreed on a number. >> reporter: republicans say not so fast. is >> there is no number, there is no agreement on a number. >> reporter: democrats contend the two sides settled on suting $33 billion from the budget this fiscal year which runs through the end of september. republicans want specific cuts identified before there is agreement. the biggest fight around major cuts house republicans inserted in the spending bill they passed in february. including cuts to the epa, planned parenthood and the president's health care law. >> i can tell you there are some that are totally unacceptable,

the idea that we are going to close down the environmental protection agency's efforts to keep our air clean and water pure, i mean, that sort of thing is irresponsible. >> reporter: but the tea party contingent in the house is urging gop leaders not to back down. even if it means that the government shuts down this friday. >> stop spending money you don't have. >> reporter: still members on both sides sound increasingly optimistic that cooler heads will prevail and reach a deal in time to keep the government running. >> i doubt there will be a shutdown. >> reporter: a bigger battle is already brewing as house republicans prepare to unveil their 2012 budget plan tomorrow. they say it would cut $4 trillion from the debt over the next 10 years. >> we are going to put out a plan that gets our debt on a downward trajectory and to a point of giving our next generation a debt-freeation. >> reporter: they do that making chajs to the way medicare and medicaid are structured.

changes republicans say are necessary to save the programs but which democrats will argue are unfairly burdensome to the poor and the elderly. erica. >> so the battle continues. nancy, thanks. also in washington, cbs news political analyst john dickerson. good morning to you. we're going to talk about the budget but we want the quickly touch on the fact that president obama has now officially announced he's running again. probably the worst kept secret in washington. tweeting that while he is focused on the job, quote, the work of laying the foundation for the campaign must start today. >> that's right. the president put out a video and sent out an e-mail. this is a full digital push. and what's interesting about the video the president put out he is barely in it. there are only images of him from before 2008. it's the movement, all about the people who gathered in 2008 and walked the precincts and signed up friends and that's what the campaign is trying to rekindle, that feeling of 2008. lots of that and the idea is we

need to keep carrying that movement forward. he vows to two realities. one that he is now president and has disappointed some people. one of the people talking in the video says i don't like everything about him but i trust him. the other reality is he can't get out there and campaign like he did last time so another voice in the video said you know, he can't get out here and energize us, it's up to us to energize ourselves. and that's the message an incumbent has to send. >> that's what we'll see more of. one of the major themes we're going to continue to hear throughout the campaign season is about the budget, the deficit, money in general in washington. as we just heard from nancy, this really is looming large, the possibility of a government shutdown. is there enough common ground to avoid that? >> reporter: there is enough common ground. the question is there enough time? the government shuts down on friday but really negotiators have to come up with a deal by wednesday in order to give everybody in congress enough time to actually look at what this deal looks like. and as nancy pointed out in her piece, there are lots of hurdles, then the leaders have

to take the negotiation, whatever is agreed to, to their caucus. the one thing that may allow a shutdown to be averted, it would send a bad message and interrupt the economy. a bad message to business. and with the recovery sort of beginning to pick up, neither party wants to get blamed for that. >> no one wants to be responsible. republicans are going to announce their 2012 budget plan on tuesday. they are hoping to lead to $4 trillion in savings over 10 years. what are they proposing in terms of cuts? >> reporter: broad cuts. we talked about how to fund government for the rest of this year. what's coming out on tuesday is how to organize priorities for the next ten years, the difference between talking about a leaky roof and talking about a house renovation. and this we'll be talking about cuts in everything from education to maybe even cuts in spending, to those entitlements, medicare, medicaid and social

security. the republican plan offers restructuring. and this will be a fundamental philosophical debate between the who want believes yes, we have to cut but we have to invest in energy and innovation and education, and republicans who say no, cutting is the important thing to do, that will keep interest rates low, tell business that with those interest rates low they can hire people and invest. an that's all about trying to grow the economy. >> we'll be watching it all with you, john dickerson in washington. >> thanks. more headlines. let's go to jeff glor at the news desk. >> good morning. the u.s. scheduled to stop flying combat missions over libya after today. the scene of vicious fighting, apparently recaptured by forces. a libyan offensively is exploring a possible cease-fire. elizabeth palmer is in tripoli with more on that. liz, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff. both sides in the civil war said

that they would welcome a cease-fire but of course the devil is in the details and there is no agreement on what conditions would have to be met. meanwhile, the fighting rages on. the town of misrata, 150 miles from tripoli an island of resistance. there lightly armed fighters are desperately holding off sustained attacks from government troops. yesterday the rebels were finally able to evacuate some wounded aboard a turkish rescue ship. these are the lucky ones. they got out. inside missrata, ammunition are running low. on the main battlefield east, it's a stalemate. a cease-fire offered by the rebels over the weekend was rejected out of hand. but gadhafi has sent an envoy to greece to propose an end to the fighting. the libyan government is seeking

a solution, said the greek foreign minister after meeting gadhafi's envoy and calls for an immediate cease-fire. gadhafi's proposal would see power handed to his son who is the leader the rebels are likely to accept. he was educated in europe and building a reputation as a pro democracy reformer. the minute the uprising broke out here he rushed back and joined his father in backing violent suppression of the opposition. >> liz palmer in tripoli. workers at the fukushima daiichi plant can't figure out where radioactive water is coming from. celia hatton is in tokyo with the latest on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. workers are pouring milky white colored bath salts into contaminated water flowing from one of the damaged reactor at the daiichi complex. in a desperate attempt to trace the path of the leak.

engineers spent three days trying to fix a single eight-inch crack that is spewing water into the pacific ocean. they used everything from concrete and saw dust to newspapers and even a substance used in diapers to stop the leak. all failed. government officials say the radio active water is diluted by admit they are concerned by the vast amount of contaminated water leaked so far. the plant operator has recovered the remains of two male workers killed when the earthquake and tsunami first hit. they were thought to be trying to protect the reactor site. jeff. >> celia, thank you. two teams are left, the ncaa men's basketball championship is tonight. and the battle of cinderella teams saturday, butler beat vcu. in the other game, uconn got by kentucky. you can watch tonight at 9:00 eastern right here on cbs. always love hearing that. and by the way, speaking of the

this morning federal civil rights officials are looking into student complaints that yale university has a sexually hostile environment. more than a dozen students allege yale has failed to adequately respond to incidents of sexual harassment. seth doane reports. >> reporter: yale university, one of america's most sacred institutions. now allegations are emerging that cast a shadow behind those ivy league walls. in this shaky video, yale fraternity brothers chant

sexually-charged slurs like "no means yes." here pose with a sign reading we love yale sluts. these pictures are just part of what has become a federal investigation into whether yale university is a hostile sexual environment. >> what we're saying is that yale and its failure to respond to both public and private instances of sexual harassment and assault has said to the campus it's okay. >> reporter: that pushed alexandra brodsky and 14 other men and women at yale to file a complaint charging the university has repeatedly failed to take action on harassment and sex crimes. >> yale has never expelled someone for the crime of rape. never. >> is that what we're talking about here, the crime of rchl ape, something that serious? >> absolutely. >> they said yale does not and will not tolerate sexual harassment. if the charges were true the ivy league school would be in violation of title 9,ed federal

mandate that bars any school that receives federal funding from discriminating based on gender. at stake, more than $500 million. >> what do you say to someone who says, my gosh, you are just overreacting. >> i don't think misogyny is funny. i don't think bigotry is funny. i think hateful speech can have a huge impact. >> reporter: it's unclear what impact this complaint will have on this storied university, now forced to defend its rich tradition against a newly exposed reputation. seth doane, cbs news, new haven, connecticut. >> joining us is author and yale graduate naomi wolf who has written about her own story of sexual harassment at yale. good to have you with us this morning. as i watch your reaction to that piece, you were visibly getting upset as you were listening to those women, listening to what yale had to say. when you hear their complaint, what's your reaction to it? does it have merit in your eyes?

>> it has far more merit than what they realize. what yale has been doing and what happened to me was very mild compared to what i discovered doing investigative reporting subsequently being stonewalled by yale trying to find out how serious the problem was. at least for two decades, yale has been systematically covering up much more serious crimes than what these students identify. what they do is use sexual harassment grievance in a cynical way, using the process to stone wall victims, isolate them and protect the university. >> how so? how do they do that with the process? >> let me give you an example. there were several faculty members that were identified to me who had repeatedly raped graduate students, allegedly, according to the graduate students. the graduate students had gone through the reporting grievance procedure. the grievance procedure is not

transparent. you can't find out in any given year what's been reported, how many rapes, how many allegations of sexual assault. use of a drug comes up. >> the date rape drug? >> yes. a student said her adviser had given her date rain drug and sexually assaulted her. parents can't find out who is dangerous. they can't find out what professor has systematically a record, a track record of harassing students, behaving inappropriately or worse, rape. for instance, this one professor had two separate women in two separate years had come forward but the university did nothing, covered it up and now he's teaching at a western university and no one is safe from him. >> you wrote a lot about this 20 years later in your piece about something that happened to you.

if someone came to you as an undergrad, you would tell them to get a lawyer. >> that's exactly right. the grievance board is a farce. it exists to protect the university legally and to cover up a trail -- >> they don't condone this, they don't support sexual harassment. real quickly, do you think anything will change with this lawsuit? >> i'm very proud of these young women. i want to stress i love my alma mater and i'm sure they love yale. it's not worthy of its own ideals. yes, when women and men -- it's notable a man has at least joined it, the victims that came forward included men. this is not only a women's issue. when women are named and stand up and say this happened to me and it's not okay and especially when there's federal funding involved that's substantial, that will move forward. sunlight is the best disinfectant. >> we'll continue to follow it. naomi wolf joining us this morning. one year after her death

last week you may recall we told you the killer whale tilikum is performing at seaworld in orlando one year after killing a trainer. that tragedy led to a government fine and accusations of reckless behavior at seaworld. before we meet her family here is cbs news correspondent mark strassmann to report at the woman on the center of the controversy. >> reporter: forty-year-old dawn brancheau found joy and inspiration in all animals. but her childhood dream was to work with majestic and dangerous orcas. in the year since her death, her seaworld family is still coping with the loss. >> when we lost dawn it was like losing a sister, a family member, no doubt about it. >> reporter: it was february 24th, 2010, dawn was on a pool deck nose to nose with tilikum during a performance. the killer whale grabbed her pony tail and pulled her under water as the audience watched in horror. >> we have a trainer in the

water with one of our whales, the whale they are not supposed to be in the water with. >> reporter: it took 30 minutes to get the whale to release brancheau who died from blunt force tram, a and drawn. it was the third time the whale killed someone. the whale joined the show after being isolated more than a year. in the ongoing federal investigations, seaworld has instituted new safety regulations. trainers are not allowed in the water with whales and safety bars have been put in place to guard against further tragedy. >> we're doing this in honor of dawn. we're going to continue to do that. we're not going to forget her. >> reporter: critics insist keeping orcas in captivity is wrong and will never be safe. at shamu stadium seaworld says dawn's love for animals and commitment to orcas lives on. mark strassmann, cbs news, atlanta. and joining us now in the studio are dawn brancheau's

family, her mother and siblings. good to have all of you with us this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you for coming in. marion, i want to start with you. this has obviously been a really difficult year for you. >> yes. >> you have such a tight-knit family. what's helped you the most over the past year. >> having the support of our family and friends. it's a tough year, but things are getting better. we have a foundation we can do something positive in her memory. >> that's the goal of all of this, get the word out there about who your sister was. >> yes. >> tell us a little bit. what don't we know about dawn? >> you know what, for a year we've heard about the event. we're here today to tell you about our dawn. she was the most inspirational, loving joyous person you could have ever met. she did everything for everyone. she loved animals.

she loved the environment. she loved children. she gave back her entire life. in her four years, she had friends throughout her entire life and kept in contact with all of them. >> there's been such a beautiful outpouring in the wake of this tragedy since it happened. everyone is saying incredible things about her, what an incredible person she must have been. it must have been tough over the past week to see what happened at seaworld, to see tilikum come back in the pool. how did you handle that as a family? >> we want to reflect on she loved and cared for tilikum the best she could. we want that for tilikum also. that's up to seaworld to decide what to do. if that's best for tilikum, we would want that also. >> do you have any concern about trainers back in the pool with seaworld? >> naturally we would be

concerned. that's her friends, her seaworld family. she cared about them. we're still close to them. we're certainly not safety experts and we really do leave that up to seaworld, whoever is handling this. we know that that's important to seaworld also. so we're pretty confident that they are going to take that into consideration and obviously trainer safety is important, but they are not going to do anything to put their trainers in peril. >> you're actually working, doing an event at seaworld on dawn's memory, what would have been her birthday. >> that's correct. april 16th would be dawn's birthday. so we're hosting a 5k run and family walk at seaworld in orlando. benefits and proceeds -- portions of proceeds will go to the central florida children's home. we're going to -- following that, there will be a dedication of the existing conservation

education facility and it will be dedicated to become now the dawn brancheau educational complex. so we're really proud that her name will remain at that facility since it was such an important part of her life. education was an important part of what she did there. then we will follow that up with a local community service project at get kids the world, which is a nice organization that houses children with life threatening diseases and their families as they come to orlando to experience all the different parks. >> it's a great effort and a great way to honor your sister and her memory. thank you for coming in this morning. we appreciate you coming in. we'll be right back. you're watching the "early show" on cbs.

for passengers on friday. that's when a five foot by one foot hole tore apart with a southwest airlines 737 shortly after it took off from phoenix. now, the plane landed safely and investigators are now trying to figure out what caused that plane to tear apart. inspectors say they have found multiple pre-existing cracks surrounding the tear. that was in that plane. southwest grounded 79 of its 737s for inspections in response and they've now found cracks on at least three of those planes and say further evaluation or repairs will be necessary before they fly again. >> i believe the boeing company is going to put out a service bulletin, the faa is going to be looking carefully at how they'll be able to do oversight and making sure maintenance and inspection is being done in the proper way. this may turn out to be we need to step up our inspection process to guarantee that we have the safest aircraft that we can possibly be flying.

>> reporter: so southwest says it's finished the inspections of 19 of those 79 737s and the three with cracks were found in those 19. by the way, they say the inspections should all be complete by tuesday or perhaps wednesday at the latest. jeff? >> meanwhile, don, i know it's been a mess for travelers. what's the cancellation situation at this point? >> reporter: sure, it was ugly over the weekend. southwest canceled some 600 flights and delayed hundreds more. they say there will shall more cancellations today, perhaps 100 or so and possibly tomorrow, as well. so getting a little better for the airline but still problems for passengers. jeff? >> call ahead if you can. don teague in dallas, thank you. president obama announced his re-election bid this morning in a new twitter message or a couple of them. he said "today we're filing papers to launch our 2012 campaign." while i stay focused on the job you elected me to do laying the foundation for the campaign must start today. in libya nato says the u.s.

the problems. 250,000 complaints. one growing scam is tax related identity theft. cbs' correspondent rebecca jarvis is here. >> it might not be immediately obvious to you. a couple of ways you could find out but i should say the irs isn't necessarily going to flag you if this happens. they may send you a letter that says you made more than what you reported on your taxes. that's one sign or when you go to e-file or file your return on the internet you may get rejected and might get a message that says you've already filed. someone with that social security number already filed. that is another red flag. >> let's ask how common can it? people might wonder, you know what, i've heard about it but i didn't realize it was that big an issue. >> it is rather prevalent. overall identity theft is in the hundreds of thousands of numbers. in this case about 23,000 people

were flagged by the irs as having come in contact with this in 2009 which is the most recent data we have available. >> one thing they say, if you ever get an e-mail from the irs, that should raise a big flag. they don't e-mail. >> that is a dead giveaway. there are a number of them we should talk about here. first of all, if you do think that maybe you've been a victim of this, don't rush to necessarily tell the irs right away. the reason that you don't want to rush claim identity theft is that if you do that, you could be facing a tax audit which is, you know, it's an arduous process to go through. what you can do is wait for the refund to come. it should take six weeks if you file by paper. three if you file electronic. if you find out it's been cashed, there's a giveaway. contact the irs protection specialized unit set up specifically to deal with this issue and lastly, an investigation if you're looking for the amount of time to wait, it can take up to six months

before you get an answer on whether or not you've been a victim and what the irs has to say. >> so be patient with it. do you have tips that you would recommend to people who feel they've been victimized. >> do not ever respond to an e-mail that looks like it came from the irs. that is the number one thing. they are never going to send you an e-mail. also, they prepare backgrounds. a lot of places they're not us doing our tax returns. we want to know the background on the tax preparer before you hand over that. vet them in friend, family. keep those tax files secure. can't be said enough. we put so much personal information out there these days. keep it secure. have a safe internet connection. we've done stories about this where hackers can hack into your internet connection if you're not using a secure line and lastly, dispose of those files carefully. those old tax returns, if you are getting rid of anything, those w-2 forms, make sure you shred them. also hole on to them for a handful of years because the irs can come back and ask for that

up to three years. >> treat it like a doctor. you wouldn't go to anyone. finances, you should categorize it as well >> that's right. >> rebecca, good to see you. up next how a daily dose of aspirin may protect against one of the deadliest forms of cancer. cer. color color...don't go away.

pretty big breakthrough. >> right. let me tell you about this study. they looked at a little over 2100 people. those with pancreatic cancer and healthy matched controls. all of whom were over the age of 55. then asked them to report their use of aspirin, acetaminophen, which is tylenol and ibuprofen which is motrin or advil. and they found that those people who took at least one baby aspirin a day -- i'm sorry, a month, had a 26% lower risk of developing pancreatic cancer, which is significant, and potentially very exciting. >> you hear a lot about aspirin reducing the risk of cancer, especially colon cancer. did they give specifics as to why aspirin is directly related to a reduced increase in pancreatic cancer? >> this study, chris, just looked at an association. so it did not provide cause and effect or the mechanism. but there is a theory that the way that aspirin and drugs like motrin or advil work to reduce other types of cancer risk is by cutting the risk of inflammation. now interestingly in this study, they also found a slight

reduction in risk amongst those healthy people who took ibuprofen, but it just wasn't statistically significant. so again, the thinking is that it cuts down on inflammation. >> i think a lot 6 people when they hear bits and pieces of story they hear aspirin and heart attack, aspirin with something like this. should people just start taking aspirin just to kind of, be -- precaution? >> we heard of it also with reducing the risk of colon cancer. we need to understand that aspirin, like any drug, has significant risks. some doctors say that if aspirin went up for fda approval as an over-the-counter medication today it may not get approved so readily. so there are some big risks that people need to be aware of. number one it can increase the risk of bleeding, internally and in the stomach, known as gast gastrointestinal bleeding. it can just cause stomach irritation, which can be a problem. it can worsen asthma in people who have asthma. and most importantly, also, it can interact with other drugs, especially blood thinners. so it definitely has risks and people should talk to their doctor about whether those are worth it. >> pancreatic cancer is such a dreaded cancer. is there any other new

developments in the research that we've seen firsthand? >> two big things on the horizon. one having to do with screening which is looking for something called biomarkers. it's the dna's fingerprint that may be circulating in the blood. the other one, treatment. using individualized vaccines to treat people with pancreatic cancer. research is ongoing in both of them. >> okay. dr. ashton, thank you. >> you bet. >> coming up next you don't need an eagle eye to watch this bird family. we're going show you the latest from the website that suddenly has millions of fans. >> "cbs healthwatch" sponsored by dove visible care. visibly more beautiful skin from a body wash. smooth away up to 100% of dry hair's roughness and frizz. new dove nourishing oil care. make friends with your hair. all day, every day. share one of five appetizers,

cookoff, believe it or not and joining me right now is the one, the only coach jamie dixon of the pittsburgh panthers. you cooked against jay wright. was it tougher on the court or in the kitchen. >> it was a battle both ways. i'll use it against him on the recruiting trail. we've got the advantage. this will carry weight. >> do you cook at home? >> no, never and but i think jay wright does it less but it was a battle at the end. about getting it done first. jay got a little panicked at the end. >> i hear your presentation was absolutely lovely. >> i understood that part of it. presentation is everything is my assistant chef was telling me. >> you have a sous chef, exactly. what did you cook exactly? >> steak, artichokes and mashed potatoes so a lot of work went into it, a lot of preparation and it was excellent.

i wish i had it here for you. >> i wish you did too. we'll cook steak later in the show. you did it for coaches for cancer. >> it's raised $70 million for the american cancer society and it's a big part of all the coaches across the country. we have ours in pittsburgh in the next coming week. it's a charity we are a big part of. it's a good reason to come down and help out. jay and i are big parts of coaches versus cancer and really helped out. >> you as the winner, the champion of all win a check for $5,000 for this cause and, you know, we only do it big on "the early show." here is your check. >> well, thank you. thank you. >> good luck. good luck with all that presented by lg, of course. >> thank you, lg. >> don't go

>> thank you so much.

that's your latest weather. i know it's a tough crowd. you have a lot of experience here. give us your pick for tonight's game. >> like you said, tough crowd. putting the pressure on me. good friends with coach stevens, coach calhoun, coach sheldon mack with usa basketball so it's tough to go back and forth. you have to stay within your conference so that's a coach's thing you got to do. coach's code so if i have to pick one, both great teams, great coaches, you have to stay within the big east. i won't say it but that's the rule. >> if you're in the big east, raise your hands. we'll be watching. whichn'o"og would win, a husky a bulldog, pretty interesting too. >> i'll let you handle that. >> thanks, coach. thank you again to lg for this wonderful time at bracket town. erica, do you have a pick? >> you know, i got to go with uconn because i'm a connecticut girl but married to an indiana boy so it's going to be rough in my house tonight.

hopefully i'll see you tomorrow. >> mary, thanks. is it healthy to talk about weight with your friends? you might think yes but a recent study found 93% of college women have negative conversation with friends about their bodies. dr. jennifer hartstein is here. informal poll of women in the studio. everyone said, well, yeah, that's what women do. we talk about how fat we are. >> it's how we bond with one another. it's kind of the norm and all this research is showing that all of these comparisons actually make us feel worse. it makes us really point out all of the things we don't like about our bodies and bring us into the negative self-esteem place. >> why does it have to be so negative? why couldn't we have those conversations while building one another up? you look fantastic. >> even when we say we look fantastic, oh, i've been hitting the gym or changed my diet. it's something about this negative way of talking that's become the norm. we need to figure out why. we need to make it the exception

and haven't figured it out yet. >> we tend to be obsessed about it. running joke, ever asked a man if you look fat. you ask your girlfriends. >> oftentimes that question is really something more. it's really our way of saying, hey, i might not be feeling great in my body or having a bad day, we funnel it back into how we look and then it becomes the topic of conversation so maybe a friend could say, what's really going on that might get to the heart of the problem. >> might be a trigger of the fat talk is going a little too far. other indications it's time to dial it back. >> other things is it the only thing you talk about with your friends? has it become the primary source of discussion? that is a problem. is your friend or are you always dieting. this isn't just a, oh, i'm not going to eat -- what's the latest trend, how can i jump in? last i, is in this obsession over your body so the words come into play and action and what a new study found eating disorders

are contagious so all of this is challenging because you can say, oh, i'm not going to eat it because it's going to make me fat. so that disordered thinking can be caught on by your friends. >> it's not something among young women, be they teenagers or even in their early 20s. they're more and more older women showing signs of eating disorders. >> this is very interesting. finding that older women are really demonstrating the same kind of eating disorders as maybe teenagers did. maybe they had an eating disorder as a kid or going through a stressful situation but not getting picked up as malnourishment because other signs you see, they're not getting their period is not being noticed, it's looking like signs of menopause so much easier to feel in an older woman. we want to look at that's happening. >> how do we then turn it around to a healthy conversation with a girlfriend. >> you want to turn it something. focus on the healthy goals, on

what their outcome wants to be or the positive, hey, you're looking great and really encourage them not to discount that combliment and secondly, you want to mention your concerns and often support when you need it. if you notice your friend is looking too thin or making bad food choices you want to say, hey, i'm worried about this. >> great advice and good to get it out in the open so everyone at home know, it's not just -- >> especially heading into the summer when dieting season will be kicking up. >> let's not talk about that. always good to see you. you look fabulous, by the way. >> erica, appreciate it. americans buy 3 million batteries every year and many consider the people couple brands to be the test. a study was done that might change the way you buy batteries. jason cochran is here with us with the results. you can vouch for it. >> i can and they were surprising, the results. >> you launched the investigation. what did you find.

>> we sent six different types of batteries we bought off the shelf from stores and sent them to worcester polytechnic institute and tested what the output of energy was and surprisingly we found that among the alkaline batteries no difference between the brand name batteries and the generic. all the same. >> if you've been loyal to energizer, no difference between those and what you never consider. >> statistically insignificant. minor differences but all in the same pack. >> any exceptions. >> there was one that did well, a lithium battery, the energizer advanced lithium but it was the only lithium we checked and that was still going after 19 hour, now, it did very, very well but among the alkalines, over 19 hour, the power started to sag. >> you looked at the average prices of batteries, what did you find as far as -- >> the lithium are quite expensive as you probably know. the energizer lithium was about $1.42 per battery and lasted a very long time. while the alkalines, the lower

price ones like the generic or rayovac, more like 32 cents, i quarter as much. you want to weigh whether you want to pay that much or a much cheaper price. >> saving that dollar alone from the difference in batteries with the volume of batteries that people are buying and tell them there's not a big difference between -- i mean it almost makes for -- >> people go for the brands which, you know, they may not need to. statistically it doesn't make a difference. >> getting back to deals if i wanted to buy batteries, what do i look for. >> brand loyalty is not as important as you might think and on the same side of that look for the sales. if you can find a brand you like on sale for as much as a generic, you might as well get one of those. buying in bulk, a great way to save on batteries. you get a whole chunk of them and store them in your kitchen or bedroom. takes a number of years for a battery to lose its charge significantly under right conditions. and the other thing i would suggest, get a rechargeable

battery. spend a little more at the front end but within a year or so you would have made your money back. dollar stores, i don't suggest them. they have a record of outdated batteries, expired batteries or defective batteries so i would probably stick to the generic if you're going to get a generic from your local drugstore. >> what if you've had them in your drawer or a long time. is there a shelf life, six months -- >> six months would be too soon. if it's hot where you live, over 100 degrees you need to think about replacing them more often than not because you can lose 25% of your charge over a year. in general some put them in the fridge. >> what's the deal with that? >> only if it's really hot where you live because very high temperature. >> how high are we talking about. you live on the surface of the sun, if it's in your house, it's going to be fine. >> you go to dollar stores that

are not air conditioned and you can find inside it's 100 degrees and will affect the life of the battery but in general, no. there are very few cases. batteries at room temperature work better. it's just a matter of chemistry so you have to warm them up after the fridge anyway. >> kidding about that whole thing. any other way to make the batteries last a little longer. what would you recommend. >> when you change them don't mix old and new. that can put strain on one of them. if you don't use something for a long time, take the batteries out. that will keep them from draining slowly. don't throw them in a bowel of coins or each other. they can short each other out. keep them in the box you kept them in. you'll probably be fine for a number of years. rechargeable, great way to save money. >> jason, thanks so much. good to see you. now back out to houston, texas, marysol castro, in bracket town right now, the

uconn husky over her shoulder. i was there with you this weekend. talk about some great semifinal games but this is the big one tonight. >> this is the big game. for the championship, for crying out loud. lg kitchen bracket town. joining me a familiar face, very good to see you. tim love. you also refereed, if you will, the coaches' cookoff. >> i tell you what, we're here, you know, in the lg kitchen. going crazy. >> yeah. >> i think you just talked to coach dixon, right. >> jamie dixon. >> he won. >> did he really deserve to win. >> i got to be honest, his steaks looked really, really good. but he had some good help. great sous chefs. >> artichokes, meat and potatoes kind of situation. >> we're in houston. >> speaking of which, you're going to make us some steak. >> if you're going to watch the finals tonight might as well get in the spirit of being in houston and have a good steak dinner. belly up to the tv.

>> it's a new york strip and these are pretty new york strips. nicely marbled. so i'm going to season these up. now, you know, you don't have to grill outside. you can always grill inside, right? >> i was born to ask. there are some folks that -- >> yes. >> fire escapes and whatnot. >> can't put a fire out on a grill. >> when you season them most people come through like this. i tell everyone you want to season it twice because you want to have double the salt you think you need. >> really. why is that? >> very big piece of meat and you don't realize if you dent season it properly it comes out wondering why it doesn't taste like a steak house steak. we turn it up. gets nice and hot. >> into the grill pan. >> into the grill pan like that. >> did you put any oil on there or -- >> we oiled the steaks first. so grilling indoors, you want to put the fat on the steak. so you oil on the steak and season it. whereas grilling out doors, grill first. oil -- >> am i making you nervous.

>> so pretty. i don't know what to do. >> are you guys hungry at all? >> yeah. >> you have a long day. >> season the other side here, okay. now i've also got artichokes, if you grill one way you might as well grill the vegetables, as well. nice salt and pepper. >> we took the whole artichoke. these are the hearts. poached them. >> you're doing such outstanding work. we make a nice little butter. the ingredients of the butter. jalapenos and roasted garlic, a little bit of lime. mix that up into a bowl. then we put it in the refrigerator and comes out like a nice butter. >> you went from all this liquid and it comes out as a solid. >> that's right. we call it compound butter. mix it all into the butter nice

and smooth and refrigerate it and get another butter that's flavored. >> very nice, very nice. >> we put them into the oven and let them roast. the thick about cooking steak, a good sear on them and roast them in the oven and pull them out and let them rest. roasting and resting is important especially grilling indoors the best steak to make. inside makes a better steak. >> i'm a tend of a rib eye, really fatty as you head over to a very, very fancy oven behind us. >> one thing that i've had the pleasure of doing entire weekend is working in this phenomenal lg kitchen. look at that. comes out beautiful. let's see how these look. >> fantastic. want to take a taste. >> i'm not here to not take a taste. i do like steak. >> what about you? you like steak. >> i think it'll give you some

energy tonight. hi, huskies. hi, bulldogs. >> nice and juicy. >> medium rare. >> new york, they probably call that medium rare. here we call it medium. >> you're exactly right. >> gorgeous, nice sear on the outside which is very important and then -- >> that's absolutely delicious. >> super tender. artichokes. you do have to have vegetables. >> i was going to say a starch of sorts. >> mind if i eat this. >> mashed potatoes, that is -- >> mashed potatoes, grilled artichokes, a nice aiola, all are on the website. >> but before we get to that, inquiring minds want to know, who are you rooting for tonight? >> that's a tough question. >> you're in mixed company. >> it's tough. but it's okay. >> i'm going to go with butler. >> okay. >> they were here last year.

>> go with the underdog. they got beat up a little beat. coming back strong. like so see them do something. >> may the two mascots flank me for two seconds. >> because we all know that basketball teams, you know, they'll do their best but in a fight of dog against dog, what do you think, a bulldog or a husky but don't do it in front of me? i don't know. i have my money on may the best dog win. >> well, that's pretty good one right there. and, of course, if you want to watch the game -- you'll be here. >> but for the rest of the mere mortals watch it eating steak and mashed potatoes, tonight, butler taking on uconn, 9 p.m. eastern, right here on cbs. kickoff at 9:23 eastern. >> eastern. >> if, in fact, you are interested and i'm getting also -- this is the ambience, the ambience of all the steak.
