bulldogs and spark wild celebrations at home. early, this tuesday morning, april 5, 2011. good tuesday morning to you. i'm erica hill. good to have you with us. >> good morning to you. good morning to you, erica. i'm chris wragge. coming up this morning, the government will call for emergency inspections of boeing 737s in the wake of friday's incident involving a southwest airlines jet that split open in midair forcing an emergency landing. news correspondent don teague is in love field in dallas, southwest main hub with the latest on this story. don, good morning. good morning, chris, the inspections will be ordered for 175 boeing 737s worldwide. fewer than half of the planes are here in the u.s., but most of those here are operated by southwest airlines.

the federal aviation administration has ordered emergency inspections for at least 80 boeing 737s operated in the u.s. the move comes days after a terrifying incident when a southwest airlines 737 ruptured and depressurized at 34,000 feet. new inspections are required for older models of the planes, those built in the '890s with at least 30,000 takeoffs and landings. >> issuing this service bulletin, it will take care of the aircraft that need attention. for the remaining fleet, i don't believe there are structural deficiencies. >> the 737 is the work horse of the skies. nearly 7,000 of the jets have been built and operated by airlines around the world. most of the u.s. planes subject to emergency inspections are operate by southwest. because the airline flies short hops, the planes take off and land several times a day, which takes a toll.

>> when you get the expansion and contraction as a result of takeoff and landing cycles, you run the risk of getting fatigue. you run the risk of getting cracks in the metal itself. >> reporter: the 737s have had some troubling problems in the past. in 1988, an aloha airlines 737 ripped open in flight, killing a flight attendant and injuring seven passengers. and in 2009, a southwest 737 was forced to make an emergency landing after a football-sized hole opened in the fuselage. well southwest did ground 79 of its older 737s after last week's terrifying incident. cracks in the fuselage have now been found during inspections of three of the planes but 64 of the planes have been inspected and cleared for service.

and southwest expects the rest of the 737 inspections to be complete by today. don teague, cbs news, dallas. u. joining us from washington joining us from washington is michael goldfarb, former chief of staff for the federal aviation administration. good morning. >> good morning, chris. >> i want to begin with the directive that requires inspections on the older model 737 300s. these tests, do they detect the cracks that caused the tear through the fuselage? >> the faa action today is going through an emergency airworthiness directive, a very, very strong action, more so than the boeing service bulletin for the aircrafts. the board is finding that the lap joints where the skin comes together at the most pressurized part of the aircraft, at the crown, at the roof, prior to this, that's never been inspected, other than visually. it was never assumed you could cause little crack there is. that's what this incident shows and that's why now they're going go across the fleet, not just the 300s, but the 400 models and 500 models to make sure we don't have a problem systemwide. >> are these the tests that need

to be conducted on all of the planes, not just the 737s? >> we have a short term problem. grounded the plane last weekend. we're moving to an emergency airworthiness directive. we'll find out if any action is further warranted. but the problem is the technology to detect aging fleets that came out of the aloha crash in 1988 is no longer relevant. what the faa did was issue a rule. let's get the old planes out of service. let's get newer models in so we're not faced with this problem. that's an issue because combined with manyic soole cycles and oversight, if you have problems there, you are creating a potential safety problem. >> like you mention, this plane, 737, the workhorse of the fleet out there. kind of like what you talked about in the faa last fall. the faa set a retirement age. at the same time, they said we're going to take five years

to find out what that retirement age should be. and they're going to find out how to implement that. my question to you as a passenger, should it take that long to figure out if the plane is too old to fly? >> it won't take five years now. i believe they will have to amend that given what happened this weekend, given the results of this inspection. it tends -- it's on the ability of the -- of the airlines to set up these eddy currents, these ultrasound tests. that will become the more regular technology because the cracks will occur, occur between the inspection intervals. planes are flying that have been checked and may have the small cracks that caused the kinds of problems on the southwest jet. >> michael, real quickly, the 737 300, should they just retire this? it is not even in production anymore. >> they are. they're replacing the aluminum on it. they are retiring it. that's the ideal answer. airlines looking at schedules and everything else plan to maintain them. that's why if they're going to fly, we have to have much more rigorous safety inspections on them. >> michael goldfarb, thank you

for taking the time to speak to us. we appreciate it. >> my pleasure. want to turn now on the latest on the budget battle. president obama called leaders of most parties of the white house for a standoff. president obama said get ready for a government shutdown as gop leaders applied another stop-gap measure to keep the government running for another week. nancy, good morning. >> good morning, erica. yes, another extension now in the works. this time for one week. it would keep the government open until next friday, proposed by republicans late last night as the president now steps in to try to break the impasse. >> reporter: the president has summoned house speaker, john boehner, and democratic leaders to the white house this morning to try to break the budget impasse. last night, house republicans left the late-night strategy session and said talks with democrats have stalled. >> we may get progress saturday, come sunday, things just stop.

>> republican leaders accuse democrats of gimmicks and phony accounting full of smoke and mirrors on monday after they said democrats refused to discuss republican priorities like cutting funding for the ep a and for the president's health care law. democrats say the talks are progressing forward and the republicans are putting on a show for the budget cuts. >> the tea party republicans refuse to recognize that the budget is appalling. >> the $33 billion in cuts they are debating for 2011 is nothing compared to the cuts republicans will propose today for 2012. in a new op-ed, budget committee chairman said his plan would slash $6.5 trillion from the president's budget over the next ten years. he does that by cutting in every area of government. but the proposal that's bound to draw the most scrutiny is the one that would transform medicare to essentially a voucher program, giving seniors a set amount of money they could

use to buy private insurance. that money might or might not cover the cost. erica? >> nancy kortis on capitol hill this morning, thanks. >> oh. >> house committee budget chairman joins us with as well. happy to have you with us. >> good morning, erica. >> we want to look at 2011 first. we know there's a stop-gap measure in there. it funds the pentagon at the end of the year, as we know. cuts $12 billion. how likely is it that this will pass? or are are we effectively looking at a shutdown on friday? >> we will pass it out of the house. the question isn't whether the harry reid senate will pass it or not. the scenario, the troops get funded, they get their pay. the families at home living paycheck to paycheck get their money. we have passed now -- this is three bills we've passed to prevent a government shutdown. the senate has never passed a bill to prevent a government shutdown. we're not looking for a shutdown. we're looking for a downpayment on budget reduction. the senate is yet to pass a single bill to prevent a government shutdown. we'll see.

>> move on to 2012. later this morning, you'll unveil your budget which proposes to cut $6.2 trillion over the next ten yearlings. much of the savings comes from government entitlement programs. how do you expect, though, to get that measure passed when there is such a difficult time even getting 2011 to make it through another week? >> first of all, we need to have a fact-based conversation about our budget. we need to attack the drivers of our debt. the debt is getting out of control. this is a plan not only to pay off our debt over time, but to get the budget under control to get the economy growing. we're not proposing vouchers, we're proposing no change for 55 and above. 54 and below, moving it to a system that's identical to the system that i have as a congressman and all federal

employees have. it's premium support it's proven to save money, improve quality, and bring solvency. they're going insolvent. these programs are the drivers of our debt. the sooner we tackle the problems, the better off all of us are. we can't keep kicking the can down the road. >> a set amount of money. to' lot of people, in their mind, the best way to understand is it is a voucher. there's scrutiny in the way we talk about medicare and that is medicaid. the way it works in the budget for the millions of americans who rely on it, essentially, their state is given a chunk of money. and they have to hope that their state can manage that money effectively. otherwise, when it runs out for the year, they're done, correct? >> we're getting letters from dozens of governors asking for this. the problem is, medicaid is breaking right now. it's going insolvent. more importantly, the way doctors are going right now. the patient doesn't take medicaid. it's unsustainable and it ends up giving people second class health care. not getting good access to good care.

we want to give states the rights, the ability to customize their health care to meet their particular needs of their citizens and not give them this one-size, cookie cutter, one size fits all medicaid program which is maeking. that's not working. we propose lots of areas of health care reform, lots of savings. these programs are going bankrupt. if we don't make the right tough choices now, our children are going to have to make much, much tougher choices later. that's why we want to get ahead of this problem. this is a plan that pays off our national debt and pro growth job creation. you have to have economic growth and spending control at the same time. >> there will be a lot more discussion on that plan to come. congressman paul ryan. that's going to do it for this morning. we appreciate you being here. thanks. jeff glor checks it other headlines for us this morning. good morning. >> good morning to you, good morning to you at home. new higher levels of radiation have been detected near that power plant in japan. tepco announced on april 2 near the fukushima daiichi plant,

maintains the case in a civilian court would have been very strong. >> i know this case in a way that members of congress do not. i've looked at the files. i've spoken to the prosecutors. so do i know better than them? yes. >> homeland security correspondent bob orr has more on this. let me ask you, the difference in venues, easier to prosecute this case in a military tribunal? >> the rules of evidence are a bit more relax in military tribunals. that could give prosecutors an edge. in either court, ksm could raise serious questions about his enhanced ir tan gags which interrogation which he calls torture. he was water boarded 183 times. authorities say there's plenty of evidence outside of his statements and, in fact, he tried to confess inside of court. but prosecutors at the end of the day still have to prove their case. and in the past, ksm has asked

for the death penalty, but we don't know whether military prosecutors will seek the death penalty. >> since the beginning, the president pledged to close guantanamo. is his original goal of closing gitmo realistic now? >> not at all. there is no chance whatsoever that gitmo is going to be closed any time in the foreseeable future. the trials of ksm and others may take months or longer than that. so the facilities have to remain open. there's a big question about what to do with the prisoners whether they're tried or not. congress has made it very clear as you said that they can't come to the u.s. there are dozens of prisoners too dangerous to release but may be impossible to prosecute. they have to be held indefinitely. gitmo looks like the place. jeff? >> bob orr in washington. thank you very much. the uconn huskeys are champions for a third time. they were leading going to halftime, but the huskeys clamped down and butler shot the ball terribly making 18 of the

beach front area for shannon gilbert, a craigslist escort who disappeared. in december during a search, they made a grisly discovery, four female victims, each wrap in burlap. the women, all in their 20s, all identified as escorts soliciting on craigslist. the investigators attribute the murders to a serial killer. >> makes you a little concerned that this predator could possibly be living amongst us in one of the beach communities. >> with a total of eight victims so far, police say time is of the essence. >> we want to do this before the spring foliage grows in and makes it more difficult. and if there are any more bodies out there, we want to find them. >> investigators have no known suspects, but are hoping the most recent discoveries will lead them to the killer. betty nguyen, cbs news, new york. and joining us now is criminologist casey jordan. good morning to you. we have the remains of now eight

people found in this little beach area in long island. safe to assume this is a serial killer. but how do the police now link the latest finds, the three bodies with the five previously found. >> it will be interesting because we know that the other five were linked by the common variable of craigslist. these three -- it will be interesting to get the dna, their dental records, find out who they are, are they female? are they in the same 20-something age range. were they also on craigslist. and any diversion from that, which is completely possible, will make this more complicated. but if it fits that pattern, you can be sure it's the work of the same person or persons. >> how long will it take to identify with the dna or whatever is possible with the new bodies. >> the state of the remains going to be the key. they could be an older set of remains than the ones that were found several months ago. dental regards are the very best you can have. if you have to do mitachondrial dna off of a femur or large

chunk of bones, if you put it on rush could take days or weeks. having a woman to match it to will be done quickly. >> dna will be vital, though. >> absolutely. >> the areas around salt water and marshy land there, what does that say to what this individual or individuals is thinking. >> two different theories here. one that the person put the bodies there on purpose knowing that the elements, the salt spray, the constant hurricane-style winds in the winter will cause the decomposition more quickly. the other theory would be that this is an area, i'm quite sure this is accurate, that is both familiar and convenient to the perpetrator. he knows it well. and everything is found within a mile range. i wouldn't be surprised if we find more bodies soon. >> the victims we said have been identified, some missing are the five victims -- some missing as far back as 2009. this shows that this has been going on for quite sometime. police have no leads yet at all or they're not saying? >> i think they're not saying a

lot more than we know. this all started because of the missing woman, shannon gilbert. we haven't found her yet which is still this huge question mark. is she out there, is she alive? and if all -- if you have eight women within a year and a half, you're talking about a certain type of killer who is perhaps even speeding things up or decompensating or putting the murders a little bit closer together. if there's a cooling off period, it would be getting shorter right about now. >> when you look -- in your professional experience, if you look at this methodical approach. all of the bodies in this area now, eight bodies. what does this say to the person we're looking for? do they have a type they're trying to address at this point? >> this point, i don't know the manner of death. police may not either. shot, stabbed, strangled. that would tell us a lot. we don't know because of the state of the remains being so decompensated whether or not they were posed, tossed, dismembered. we don't know any of that. probably most likely going be a power control killer or a hedonistic lust killer.

there's a sexual component because of the nature of how the women were lured through craigslist. >> thank you. >> always great to be here. coming up next, a fax machine like this will put you at risk for identity theft. show you how to protect your personal information when we come back. this is "the early show" on cbs. l with heart-related chest pain or a heart attack known as acs, you may not want to face the fact that you're at greater risk of a heart attack or stroke. plavix helps protect people with acs against heart attack or stroke: people like you. it's one of the most researched prescription medicines. goes beyond what they do alone by helping to keep blood platelets from sticking and forming dangerous clots. plavix. protection against heart attack or stroke in people with acs.

nearly every work place has a fax machine. and so do plenty of homes. but if you use one of the older style fax machines, you could be putting yourself at risk for identity theft. early show consumer correspondent susan koeppen is here with the story. this is not what people think either. >> right. you're probably not thinking about this when you use a fax machine. some fax machines called thermal fax machines keep a carbon copy of every document ever received. all you have to do is open it up and a wealth of information will be at your fingerprints. it's so easy to steal information from one of these machines, even a child could do it. >> reporter: americans will spend $55 million on new fax machines this year.

hands. so we have a bunch of fax machines that we bought really cheap. >> reporter: to see what we could find, we purchased these seven used fax machines on ebay and craigslist from across the country. every single one had personal documents and social security number numbers. >> pull it out, take a look at what we have in here. >> reporter: but on this machine, we hit the jackpot. >> on this ribbon, names, addresses, account numbers, social security numbers, it's all here. >> reporter: we bought it for $10 on craigslist from a mortgage broker in massachusetts. bank statements, retirement accounts, w-2s, and the names and social security numbers of 16 unsuspecting customers. so this is the actual roll out of the fax. we tracked down two of the customers, cory and christine matthews who had faxed everything their broker needed to purchase their first home. when we called and said we found all of this info, what did you

much of our e-waste is shipped to third world country where is they're looking for this information and using it, erica. >> this is another disturbing one. what can you do at this point to protect yourself. >> look how easy it is to find this roll. you open it up, it's right here. it's all of the information. if you have one of these fax machines and you're going to sell it, get rid of it. take this out and throw it out or put it in the shredder, get rid of it. >> shred this part before you throw it out. someone can find that in the trash. >> shred the ribbon. you can find a certified recycler to get rid of it for you. if you're sending a fax, you don't know what the person on the other end is doing. find out what fax machine they have. or pick a different way to send your important documents. something more secure so it doesn't end up on a ribbon like this. >> so susan koeppen doesn't call you one day and say, hi, i have your information on a roll. susan, thanks as always. we'll be right back. susan, thanks as always. we'll be right back. this is "the early show" on cbs.

not just the 300s but some of the 400 models and 500 models to make sure we don't have a problem that's systemwide. >> reporter: southwest grounded 79 of those older 737s after last week's terrifying incident. 64 of the planes have now been inspected and deemed safe. they are back in service, but three planes have been found to have cracks. the rest of the inspections should be complete later today. don teague, cbs news, dallas. >> this morning, the faa is investigating a scary emergency landing in louisiana. the front wheel, you can see this, of united airlines flight 497 entded up off the runway in new orleans yesterday morning. could have been a lot worse. the airbus 320 had just taken off from new orleans when the pilot smelled smoke in the cockpit. the crew radioed controllers and then minutes later the situation quickly went downhill. >> we are declaring an emergency and please roll the equipment for our landing please. >> we have lost all our

neutrogena® cosmetics these ladies have been exercising, watching their diets and enjoying activia light. well? i've lost a few pounds and i've never felt so light. at 70 calories, delicious activia light helps you be light and feel light too. ♪ activia this morning's "healthwatch," is food addiction real. new research shows people with addictive eating behaviors have brain activities similar to people with drug or alcohol addiction. medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton is here with that story for us. just what people who love food want to hear this morning. let's talk about this. this has been a little controversial a topic. you have two-thirds of americans who are either obese or

overweight. what does this research tell us about how the brain responds to food? >> chris, first of all, researchers at yale where this small study was done are really seeking to look at the two questions of biology and psychology and how they may interactwith the condition of obesity. so what they did is they looked at 39 women. they devised a food addiction score questionnaire. asked them about their behaviors and their responses to food. scored them a high or low. then put them in a functional mri which really looks at our brain's activity. areas of the brain that light up when they get activated. showed them pictures of a haagen-dazs chocolate milk shake and then the very unappetizing saliva-like solution, a glass of it and really looked at where their brains lit up and what they found was the people who had the high activation score when they looked at the chocolate milk shake, the area in their brain known as the rewards center really lit up. >> i love you dearly but these milk shakes here, i'm drawn to

them. advertisers know certain things will trigger a certain response. what happens when these are consumed. >> when they looked at the pictures, the rewards center lit up. when they actually consumed the milk shake they found the areas in their brain responsible for our inhibition control to tell us, okay, slow down. that's the part that really got stimulated. so again, this all really is ongoing research about how our brains react to reward and fulfillment of that reward. >> food addicts. i mean, are they all quote/unquote overweight people? >> this study didn't find any correlation between body mass index and these high food activation or addiction scales. so this doesn't necessarily mean if you have this area in your brain light up to food stimulus that you are going to be obese. and we have to remember, not all addictive behaviors are necessarily bad for you. people can be addicted to exercise and that's not always a bad thing. >> advertisers are watching right now. pizza and chocolate chip cookies for me.

i cannot turn myself away. >> they know what the triggers are for most people. >> let's talk about some key here's of possible food addiction. >> well, what's really important is that this is ongoing research that people in the field of psychology are looking at whether or not people need to qualify food addiction as a real addiction. so you can substitute drugs or gambling or smoking to any of the things we're going to talk about. do people need to eat more food than they initially planned? that can be one of the signs. do you feel more sluggish after eating? dow do you need to eat more food to feel better and really go out of your way to fulfill this quest? do you need to go out of your way to get that doughnut or that fast food? >> how about some treatments for overeating? anything that can be done? >> the key is to know what your own triggers are and to behaviorally modify those responses. and again, like anything if you know that you are addicted to smoking, you want to set your environment up so that you don't find yourself confronted with that. food is no different. this isn't the whole picture but

it's definitely a component of it. >> i said chocolate chip cookies and pizza. are there foods that are a little more addictive than others? >> you hear the term comfort foods. those are typically high carbohydrate, high sugar foods. they'll be looking more and more at this. we may see that food is a real addiction right up there with smoking, gambling and drug abuse. >> be addicted to the broccoli. >> it's tough on all people. doc, thanks very much. up next, to sign or not to sign? kate middleton may have a big prenup decision ahead. we've got all that and more from london on the royal wedding when we come back. this is "the early show" here on cbs. cbs healthwatch response sponsored by pfizer. orld... the next i'm saying... i have this thing called psoriatic arthritis. i had some intense pain. it progressively got worse. my rheumatologist told me about enbrel.

i'm surprised how quickly my symptoms have been managed. [ male announcer ] because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. get back to the things that matter most. good job girls. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you.

good job girls.

that music is fantastic. you know what it means? royal update. 24 days to go. and still so much to do before the royal wedding, including a personal issue for kate midd middlet middleton. should the future princess sign a prenuptial agreement. it's an issue she may have to face. always good to see you, my friend. how about this prenup deal? do we think this could really happen? >> well, with eve had no official word on the topic just yet, but to be honest, i highly doubt there's going to be a prenuptial agreement. they're common in america, but rare here in england, so much so that while they do carry some weight in a court of law, they're not 100% legally

booinding. william has a vast wealth to protect, money in a trust from diana and the queen mother. but he said divorce is not an option for him. he wants to avoid the pitfalls of former members of the royal family. he wants to make sure that the future of the monarchy is safe. a divorce would be catastrophic. >> so many people saying that the future of the monarchy is riding on this marriage. no pressure there. people worried about grand kids, the future of the monarchy. let's talk about dresses now. there may be some more information as to who's wearing what? let's start off with the m.o.b., the mother of the bride, and the maid of honor. p pippa and kara middleton were seen outside of one desyner shop. >> over the weekend, they were located at the london fashion studio. they were in for three hours. pippa walked in carrying possibly a shoe bag. shoes they were trying to match out to the dress in question. there were hugs and kisses when

they arrived and left. a close relationship is developing. so alice templey has entered the fold. >> entered the fold. big talk in britain. on one of the morning tv shows, "the times" came on and said we know who's designing the dress. we know who kate middleton will be wearing. they're sure of themselves yet nothing is made visual. >> that's right. they are very sure of themselves. "the london times" is a reputable newspaper so they won't risk their reputation on wild speculation. they were clear that sara burton for alexander mcqueen's label will be making the dress. not going to tell us anything until the day itself. if you're a betting person,ow might be the time to place your wager. >> what are the chances speaking of planning that kate middleton will have more than one dress. will there be a chance she'll change into a different desyner for one of the three receptions? >> it's going to be a long day.

if kate is wearing a sara beth dress, it's going to be high fashion, intense dress. she'll continue to wear the first dress at the reception with the queen. when things get loosey-goosey later on in the evening and they get to kick up their heels and celebrate with their friends, she may change. rumor has it it may be an easter dress. we're learning more about the reception. what a chance it will be for people invited to the reception at buckingham palace. 19 different state rooms will be open there for guests to mipgle throu -- mingle through? >> it is. what a treat lit be. a serious opportunity of a lifetime. 19 of the opulent state rooms. the white drawing room overlooks it gardens but it has a secret door so that members of the royal family can make little discrete entrances and exits. the blue drawing room is breathtaking. it was the scene of the very first state ball ever held at

buckingham palace in 1838 by queen victoria. ,,,,,,

years old. that has to be a huge boost for your self-esteem. >> it's a huge boost. it's like a healing process. because as you go through there, all of these beautiful women and am i too old, am i too short, am i too this, too that. you have to look and say, you know what, we're fine. we all bring something to the table and these women, nothing to be jealous of. there's something to be welcomed to your life. they are beautiful women. i'm friends with all of them who are on the team. they're so great. but it helps your self-esteem and gets you back. doing what you love and that's what we all have in common. >> how did you get to that point? you were stuch a low point in your life. you found joy through dancing through your two daughters, 14 and 12. important to stay strong for them. but how do you go from not feeling good about yourself to putting yourself out there in terms of trying out to be an nfl cheerleader. that's no small feat. >> it was a process that i had to really redo the way i thought about myself and the way i think about myself and talk to myself. there's a lot of fear out there and i think a lot of people live

games and they think that's great. >> what's the best part? >> the relationship with the girls. brandy, one of the girls on the team is my best friend ever and we're so close and the sister hood of it all and the fact that we share what we love to do, which is dancing and performing for the fans. >> does it bother you at all that people are saying, hey, she's 42. she's the oldest cheerleader in the nfl? >> actually, it doesn't bother me at all. if there's one person out there inspired by my story to not let fear rule your life and not have people tell you break your self-esteem down, you have to get out there. you need to dream big or it's not going to happen. >> this story is going to be made into a movie. any thoughts on who should play laura vikmanis. >> the game we all play, right? >> it has to be someone who talks with their hands and go like this a lot. i do that a lot in practice. >> i have no idea. >> no one in mind? >> no. >> you said in your bio, on the page for the cheerleaders for the website that your role model

is your mom. >> yes. >> do you think you're a role model for your girls at this point? >> i hope i am. you have to fail to learn how to do it again and do it better. there's always failures in life and you have to get past the fear of failing again and pick yourself up and move on. >> great role model for so many women. any krconcerns about the nfl lockout? >> we're going to play. we have to. we're going on as usual. we have to. we're out there for the community. just for the game, we do so much more than that. we have to be there for the fans. >> great to have you with us. such a pleasure to meet you. looking forward to the movie but looking forward to see more of you, thank you, laura. >> thank you. no wonder people talk about the end of privacy where anyone can find your credit score, the value of your home, your criminal record, you need to find your on-line reputation and digital life style. >> an important topic. >> how big a topic is it?

it's an important topic. how big is it for people to monitor the on-line reputation. >> my fear is a lot of people aren't understanding this right now. they don't understand this is going to explode. your on-line expression is your first impression. you don't get a chance anymore to say, hi, i'm mario. here's what i'm about. the web is it doing that for you. you're seeing people also put up information that may not be appropriate about you. you may be doing it yourself or others could be doing it. it could result on kids losing out on collscholarships. kids lost scholarship opportunities because they haven't seen information about them on the we believe. or people losing out on career promotions at their jobs. or the other folks not understanding that this is massive issue of people putting up what i call e-venge. taking revenge out on you on the web because they can do so. >> no mommy. >> no one i policing it. >> they can spill your name, boom, it can hurt you. how can people monitor their on-line reputations? >> a couple of different ways. you search your own name and

start looking to see what's out there. pay attention to what you're doing in social media. you you have to be aware and vigilant about what you're putting on twitter and facebook. those are kind of the obvious things. then you start moving in to using different services that you could be not aware of that could be tracking your information, everything from your home value, your ethnicity, where you live, how much income you make at your house. so websites like zaba search and spokio. and these websites are search engines for you to find people. and we're used to using google and bing and yahoo! to find information, not really find people. and these new websites are people-based search engines. >> how do the sites get all of the information? >> all publicly accessible information. it' legal, it's legit. it's your utility bills. it's your public records. your private, personal property levels. all of the information in the varying data bases. but they bring all of the information together in to one screen. that's why it's so powerful.

you're talking about what private investigators used to take months, if not years to compile all of this information and you can do it in a matter of clicks. >> the sites are good in some ways but they can hurt you in other ways. you mentioned it's a lot easier to track everything. >> if you're going on a date, you don't know much about the individual, you can use the site. my sister has done that. you use the sites to see, you know, is he lying about where he is. guys out there, be forewarned, the information is out there. i should say with some of the sites, we need to have a little bit of a warning, since it's publicly accessible information from government data bases and others, some may not be exact or presilas and accurate. >> wikipedia, there's a lot of people out there if you read -- i use myself as an example -- 40% to 50% is inaccurate. you have to give others the benefit of the doubt. >> a lot of folks sald you' s s boston fan. >> you wonder where they're

coming from. >> it's becoming a problem now from individuals. people deciding to post up information about you that you don't know exists. they're taking it out on the web because they can hide from the veil of the internet and they can be anonymous and post all types of information that can really damage your character and damage your opportunities. >> i think people feel for the most part when it's on-line, well, it must be true. it's out there forever. how do you stop things out there if you're a doctor, a lawyer, or a dentist, how do you strike it from the record. >> for people-based engines. if you scroll right down to the bottom, hit the privacy tab at the bottom, it will give you the steps to remove yourself from the sites but the information is publicly accessible. if another site pops up, you have the same probable. you want to take it a step further. services you can use -- reputation.com. phenomenal service that charges you $8 all the way up

depending on the level of protection you need. they help you monitor the on-line snapshot if you will. they can clean it up, maintain it and make sure the content is coming from you, your side of the story. sites like those and you have companies -- metalrabbit media. these are web strategists that are consultants, on-line reputation managers is what they call themselves. >> people are making big money doing it. >> absolutely. >> talk about tips for people to manage their on-line reputation. >> a couple of good ones, free, right? people love free. google alerts. you can set up in google an alert that will e-mail you any time your name is mentioned on the web. that's easy. >> build your branld. >> -- brand. >> buy your name.com or buy it for your kids. even if they're not old enough to have an on-line presence yet, buy it oh so they're secure and create a blog to customize your content. >> customize settings. >> photos gets you in trouble

the most. you want to customize it so if you're not tagged in photos, you don't have to worry about inappropriate images. >> if it embarrasses your parents, don't put it up. search engine. >> you can type in your name to a search engine and click on images and can show you what images are associated with your name out on the internet. make sure you're uploading new paragraphs with your name in it. mario armstrong's wedding or graduation photo. that way the images that you want to appear will. >> great, great information. >> thanks for having me on on an important topic. >> great to see you. >> this portion of the early show sponsored by fallacies mascara from mabybeline, new york. get a false glam look every day. fashion trends come and go. there are five items every woman should have in her wardrobe at all times. here to talk about the must haves and how to save money is
