for more than a quarter century. more of this spectacular video on this tuesday morning, more of this spectacular video on this tuesday morning, november 29th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs chris wragge is off this morning. >> hop on a flight right after the show and get there. first, though, we begin this morning with herman cain, once again, on the defensive as the republican convention is in a critical phase right now. >> nancy has the latest on the cain campaign. good morning. >> good morning, to you, erica and jeff. her name is ginger white and she is an atlanta businesswoman and she says her affair with herman cain lasted for 13 years and ended just before he began his

presidential campaign. he says she's coming forward to tell her story because she feels for woman who accused him of sexual harassment. >> pretty simple and complicated and i was aware that he was married and also aware that i was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship. >> reporter: ginger white said that her relationship started in the late 1990s and flew her around the world. in an interview on monday, cain was asked and he said the two were just friend. >> i am asking these are awkward questions but i'll ask you the questions. was this an affair? >> no, it was not. >> no sex? >> no. >> reporter: cain's attorney was less categorical saying the reported sexual affair is "not a legitimate news story" and cain

has no obligation to discuss these kind of obligations publicly. cain who has been married for 43 years social conservatives as the allegations of an affair come on top of several accusations of sexual harassment. cain was the gop frontrunner for weeks, but since the harassment allegations surfaced, his poll numbers have dropped. during the last week of october, 30% support nationally and now he's hovering around 14%. cain's loss has been newt gingrich's gain. he is now in first place in many polls. he is oft on immigration. >> several of my friends have said that that's not true. at least one of them is running around saying i want to have amnesty. >> reporter: gingrich told a south carolina radio station that he his opponent mitt romney to the be the republican nominee. >> i don't claim to be the perfect candidate.

i just claim to be a lot more conservative than mitt romney and a lot more electable than anyone else. >> gingrich opened five campaign offices and beefing up his staff here on hilton head island this morning. a far cry from the summer when his campaign was almost broke when many of his top staffers quit all at once. now he is planning to making a real play for this state. >> nancy, thanks. joining us now from washington is political director john dickerson. good to have you with us. lots to talk about as we get started here. let's kick it off with the latest allegations of the 13-year affair. herman cain speaking out pretty candidly about it yesterday with wolf blitzer, but a little bit different, how will this affect his campaign? >> it's a tough blow. hard to see how he comes back from this because look at where the campaign was before these allegations came along.

he was battling against harassment stories and dropping in the polls and also because of a series of miscues on foreign policy questions. people couldn't really see him as commander in chief. his campaign was struggling to get back on track and now this blow, it's a really tough blow for him at the very least, it's a distraction. at the worst, it's blow to the campaign. >> how much more will we hear about it? did he do enough to quell this? he and his attorney with the statement, i'm quoting here, "no obligation to discuss these type of obligations. xwaets any candidate's private sexual life is off limits. >> that's a position for the attorney to take and the question is whether voters, particularly as nancy mentioned, evangelical social conservatives who play a big role in the early states of iowa and south carolina, whether they think that's enough. a lot of discussion about the private sexual lives. perhaps too much. but voters aren't, they're going to have to make the decision themselves and this issue may linger out there in part for

cain, though, if the issue isn't a big deal, that's a sign his candidacy has slipped and that everybody else is talking about romney and gingrich. so, in that sense, it's not great for him if it's not talked about. >> it's not great for him that it's not talked about. it would mean his candidacy is strong enough that he can deflect this. >> he can deflect it if he had an answer that could pierce it completely. the vote between his answer and his lawyer's answer creates "a" confusion and "b" doesn't answer the question for voters. >> move on to newt gingrich calling himself a lot more conservative than mitt romney and he's a lot more electable. how do those claims move up as we move closer to primaries, caucuses and the general election. >> gingrich is now the alternative to romney and the discussion of who is the better conservative, that will be an interesting fight. that campaign is basically hoping that gingrich goes the way of all the other candidates. on the question of electability,

that's interesting because polls show that romney is more electable than the republicans believe. gingrich's point is in debates i could be barack obama, i'm the tougher candidate out there. we have to see if he's right. >> john, thanks. >> thanks, erica. looking at the latest on the economy, which is showing signs of strength for a strange on a number of fronts. the holiday shopping boom continued on cybermonday. consumers spending 18% more than last year, which amounted to over a billion dollars online. >> of those numbers and the record-setting results from black friday are giving wall street a boost, as well. dow jones industrials gained 2.5% on monday. joining us to break down the good news is rebecca jarvis, always good when we can say good news. >> it is nice for change, isn't it? >> cybermonday was super monday, right? >> super monday. $1.2 billion in sales online yesterday during the day. that's the initial estimates. sales up 20%.

the retailers that faired the best are the department stores. the likes of macy's, nordstroms their sales were up 29%. apparel stores their online sales were up 24%. and this is the most interesting component of the information to me because it shows a very new trend and that is that the sales on mobile devices, people making purchases from their smartphones were up 8.5%. when you just think about where things are trending here in the world and in our economy, it's trending to that little device in the palm of your hand. >> which is quite significant increase year over year, that seems like a lot to me. i admit i figure into that percentage. but looking back quickly, too. we mentioned off the top, but the numbers for the weekend really, really strong. we are learning more about those. >> the big headline out of the weekend numbers is that sales topped $50 billion. the biggest amount of sales ever up over 16% for the weekend. $52.4 billion in total sold. and the good thing here that's coming out of this is that we're

breaking the records, but we still need to see those records be broken for the rest of the holiday season in order to say the momentum is there, this is not something that is just a temporary thing that people came out to shop over the weekend. >> let's follow up on that, by the way. long-term trend here or short-term blip? it's been an interesting year. >> i'll tell you the long-term trend that i like in all of this. the long-term trend that i like in all this, americans are getting their fiscal house in order. they're paying down debt on an individual basis and buying these items with cash. whether or not the rest of the holiday season goes as black friday did is a question mark, but the fact of the matter, people are spending more wisely. >> more good news, which is what we like. >> stick with us for just a minute. one of the reasons for some of the gains on wall street, too, the potential of a deal to settle the european debt crisis. we talked a little bit about this yesterday talking about the meetings that president obama had yesterday with european leaders. bill plante joins us with more on that.

anything concrete from that white house summit? >> well, erica, in a word, no. a lot of talk about the u.s. and europe, but the euro crisis only advice and a promise. president obama said the u.s. stands ready to do our part to help resolve this issue. >> if europe is contracting and europe is having difficulties, then it's much more difficult for us to create good jobs here at home because we send so many of our products and services to europe. >> now, the advice from others in the administration is, hey, you have to act with force and act quickly. u.s. officials want the euro nations to come up with some kind of fire wall, a bond issue or fiscal union or something to help those nations that are in trouble and calm the markets. >> bill, is there any talk right now of the u.s. providing direct financial aid to europe to help with the crisis. >> absolutely clear yesterday, not by the president but by the

spokesperson who said the issue here is that the european issue and europe needs to act. the translation of that is, no, additional u.s. dollars to the international monetary fund. >> becky, want to bring you in on this issue. the president saying this is a european issue, but this is an issue which very clearly affects the united states and the rest of the world. so, give us a sense, again, of just how important is this "european issue" to the health and the recovery of the u.s. economy? >> we've already seen the impact on stocks here. we've seen the volatility in our market which is based off of a new headline every single morning coming out of europe. are they going to fix their problems or not fix their problems? there isn't consensus in europe and all of a sudden, our market falls. beyond that the president raised this point about jobs. 20% to 20% of the profitability of american companies, the biggest corporations here comes from european countries. so, if that, if that contracts all of a sudden as a result of not only a slowing europe but europe in major crisis, we're talking about jobs being

impacted right here in the united states and that's part of the reason that it is so important because there's a massive ripple effect. >> how long does it go on for the european crisis and why is it so fluid? i mean, first of all, it was greece and what's next isn't. >> that's the problem. we have this domino effect and all of these countries throughout europe are facing their own debt crises. as a european union, as a whole, they have to come to some sort of conclusion about how to fix it. the question of how long it goes is really a matter of what policymakers do, they have headlines and they have to make debt payments. if they don't have debt payments and the ue has to come to a conclusion, that's the day that -- >> it may be a situation that the u.s. is experiencing, as uncomfortable it is, something you have to slog through for years and years that doesn't get fixed overnight. >> there is no overnight fix here. >> thank you, both. terrell brown at the

newsdesk with some more headlines from the news desk. >> american airlines and amr filed for bankruptcy protection this morning. lost $868 million this year. american has been unable cost-saving contract with its pilots. it's trying to upgrade its aging fleet of planes and has not merged with another carrier. 240,000 passengers fly on american every day. the airline says it will continue its normal flight schedule honoring all tickets and reservations. a frightening scene in iran as british protesters stormed tehran. fire bombs and shouting death to england as embassy workers escaped out. tore down the british flag and a picture of queen e llizabeth. protesting the support of more intense sanctions against iran over its nuclear program. the iran union nuke gr government said it had nulothin to do with the protests.

the massachusetts representative announced his decision yesterday. chip reid reports. >> reporter: congressman barney frank is not one to mince words. >> trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table. i have no interest in doing it. >> reporter: whether debating constituents. >> i'm a student. >> which allowed you to say things you don't back up. >> reporter: or sparring with republicans. >> my point of order is that the distinguished speaker, which when he was in the minority numerous times made a point of order -- >> governor will suspend comments on the past behavior of the speaker might be interesting, but they're not points of order. >> reporter: frank is known as a liberal among liberals. loved by democrats and loathed by republicans. >> did you want to put people in jail? i want to second what michelle said. >> reporter: after 32 years in congress, frank will not seek re-election.

the result of redistricting, creating a likely tough battle to hold on to his seat. >> i will have to start now raising another couple million dollars and, as i said, i think i'd win, but what's relevant to me is that i could not put the records into that. >> reporter: frank had been the house financial services committee until republicans took control of the house. he co-sponsored the dodd-frank bill to overhaul wall street in the wake of the financial crisis and he was the first openly gay member of congress. frank joins ten other house members who are retiring. nine are democrats. more are expected to announce their departure during their retiring season. it's a problem for democrats who hope to retake control of the house and they could be concerned about momentum sparked by frank's announcement. >> senior democrats in the house from nancy pelosi on down are going to be recontacting their senior democrats trying to make sure that they give them good arguments to stay in the house.

>> reporter: as for congressman frank, he says he's looking

welcome back to "the early show" at half past the hour. i'm erica hill along with jeff glor. chris is off this morning. just ahead, we'll take you live to egypt. the country's fist elections as long time president hosni muk rack was forced out of presidency. >> many are waiting to cast a ballot for the first time in their hives. we will have the latest from liz palmer in cairo coming up in just a few memberships. before we get to that, though, we'll find out this morning if michael jackson's doctor is going to prison. earlier this month, he was found

guilty on of giving the pop star a fatal dose of pro propofol. we tell jury find the defendant conrad murray guilty. >> he was convicted of in voluntary man slaughter in the death of michael jackson. if prosecutors have their way, he could be behind bars a lot longer than that. just two days after this rehearsal in 2009 the king of pop died from a fatal dose of powerful anesthetic propofol. >> it was dr. murray's repeated, incompetent and unskilled act that led to mr. jackson's death. >> reporter: the jury agreed and prosecutors will today ask a judge to issue the maximum sentence, four years in prison. that's not all. prosecutors are asked murray to pay jackson's three children more than $100 million in restitution, a debt they hope

will keep murray from profiting from my book or movie deals. why the maximum? prosecutors say it's because murray has shown no remorse. instead, they argued, he's blamed of it, including jackson himself. that was part of murray's defense. >> say it. what they're really asking you to do is to convict dr. murray for the actions of michael jackson. >> murray's defense team wants the judge to give murray credit for time served and set him free on probation instead. they say murray is already in a prison of self-punishment and that he's lost his medical license and more importantly the pop star he held as a friend. cbs news, los angeles. joining us now, legal analyst jack ford. nice to see you this morning. lee set of the two camps and

what they're going for. 34 letters of support talking about this prison of self-punishment that dr. conrad murray is in. how much sway will that have? >> it depends on how the judge is looking at this thing. when a judge sits down and says, what's the sentence supposed to be? they look at the crime itself, what happened, what were the consequences? then they look at the defendant and say, all right, who am i dealing with here? is this somebody who has been in trouble before? is there a likelihood that this person is going to get in trouble again down the road? when you're defending somebody like this, especially somebody who hasn't been in trouble before and up until this incident that's a fairly exemplary life. you want to pile that on if you're the defense attorney and say, look, the argument is this was a terrible, tragic accident, but not an intentional murder. give him a break because of who he is is what he's done with his life. >> still unlikely, though, that he just gets probation, right? >> the interesting thing, jeff,

if the victim in this was joe smith who nobody had ever heard of before, the defense, for instance, argued this would have been a civil principal practice case, not a primarial case. very likely probation. but some sentences are message sentences where a judge wants to send a message to people and i think this will be one of those. >> even if a message is sent, how much time could he actually do? perfect example, lindsay lohan. >> that's a real question. the overcrowding. you have a federal court saying you have to lighten up your load inside the prisons. you know, one of the things, if he goes, howong will he do? i think the reality is most people are saying it will be a question of days, weeks and months as opposed to years if, in fact, he does go to prison. >> the state is asking the jackson estate get restitution in the amount of $100 million. my assumption is that conrad

murray does not have that on hand easily. >> doesn't have it and i'm not so sure the judge would impose it. that's the type of claim you would see in a civil lawsuit. usually in the criminal law, there has to be some certainty as to what somebody lost as a result of your access. >> but they're saying the reason they're asking for that is that is what he was expected to make from this tour. they're asking for almost $2 million from memorial and funeral costs. >> that might be more unlikely. but the question is, if he goes to jail, what sort of capability does he have to pay for all these things? the interesting thing is, we're seeing those interviews that he did are coming back to haunt him. because now the prosecution is saying, look, a big factor in a sentencing is your acceptance of responsibility. that's what you want your clients to do if you're a defense attorney. here you have him out there saying, it wasn't my fault, it's

his fault. i know he wanted to get that out there, but it might not be hipg him when it comes to sentencing. thank you. >> terrell brown is here with us with a check off your headlines. >> republican presidential candidate herman cain flatly denies an alleged that he had a long time extra marital affair with a georgia woman. ginger white told an atlanta television station that her affair with cain lasted 13 years and ended just months ago. she said cain bought her gifts and flew her around the country. >> he made it very intriguing. it was fun. it was something that took me away from my sort of humdrum life at the time and it was exciting. >> cain says he will stay in the presidential race as long as he has the support of his wife. the parent company of amr, american airline

party. shala hamid says they will almost certainly end up with the lion's share of seats in the parliament. >> the new parliament will be able to come in and say, we represent the egyptian people. we are the legitimate, elected body. that's crucial. >> reporter: in tahrir square, a dwindling group of protesters is still camped out, boycotting this election as long as egypt's ruling general will be in power. >> this will only legitimize the military government. >> reporter: but the past 24 hours are proof that the majority of egyptians disagree. they want to force the military out of power, too. they think the best way to do it is through the voting ballot.

there is no question they are going to have a huge influence on the writing of egypt's constitution, which starts early in the new year. erica. >> we will take it and we will continue to watch elizabeth palmer in cairo this morning. thank you. just ahead, fire on the mountain. a hawaiian volcano, which has been erupting now for 30 years. >> and weav're going to speak wh a man who has been chasing these eruptions for all that time. snoor in louisiana. they came to see us in florida... nice try, they came to hang out with us in alabama... once folks heard mississippi had the welcome sign out, they couldn't wait to get here. this year was great but next year's gonna be even better. and anyone who knows the gulf knows that winter is primetime fun time. the sun's out and the water's beautiful. you can go deep sea fishing for amberjack, grouper and mackerel. our golf courses are open. our bed and breakfast have special rates.

plexiglass on the helicopter. it can be warm from time to time. but i like going up there. >> are you surprised that can i lauea keeps putting on this show? >> yeah. i never expected it to go on this long. you never know, though. they say the best prediction of tomorrow's volcano is today's. this thing goicould go on and o. >> if somebody wants to go, what's your advice? >> if you come to the big island, you have a very good chance of seeing the lava. if you go up in helicopter, you get a spectacular view. we get some great, great video from those guys. >> speaking of video, mick, i could watch it all day long. we really appreciate you joining us, some fascinating footage. mick kalber, thank you very much. >> thank you, jeff.

reported in that area. and throughout portions of contra costa county, you can see it in millipitas, and a live look at 80 and 237. and -- 880 and 237. it is starting to get slow from millipitas out toward san jose. and these fog advisories still in effect on all of the bay area bridges. including on the san mateo bridge, and hard to see, but the ride side of your screen -- right side of your screen, westbound 92 in the commute direction. drivers are definitely taking it slow. 20 minutes out of hayward toward foster city. that's traffic. for your foggy forecast, here is lawrence. >> that sun is coming up. hoping to lift some of the fog in the bay area in the next hour or so. still very gray outside right now. let's take you out there right now and it is about as gray as you can get. as we got the fog socked in outside. and the visibility is less than a quarter of a mile. temperatures by the afternoon with some hazy sunshine and partly cloudy skies, and in the 50s and the 60s. and next couple of days, it is not the fog but the winds that will be a concern as we head toward tomorrow. very strong winds expected over the mountain tops. ,,,,,,,,

welcome back welcome back to the early show, everyone, on a tuesday morning. along with erica hill. what do you think of your 401k plan? are there too many choices? too many chances to make mistakes? the man who created it thinks it's time to overhaul the system. >> i like that last part, especially. i want to fix it. also ahead, couple of angels are stopping by. yes. they're going to be here for two segments, jeffrey would like you to know. always very sweet. >> she is pretty sweet. >> and candice?

they are here to preview the victoria secret fashion show. it's a glitzy program. >> why do you assume i am the expert on this? >> because you have been talking about this all morning. i think you started talking about this yesterday. >> last week? >> maybe you did start last week. >> give you everything you need. >> everything. >> first the latest on the new threat to herman cain's presidential bid. >> a woman claims she had an affair with him for 13 years. >> as long as my wife is behind me, and as long as my wife believes that i should stay in this race, i'm staying in this race. >> nancy joins us from south carolina this morning with more on the allegations. give us a sense.

what do we know about the woman who is making the allegations and what more has herman cain said about his relationship with her? >> she is 46 years old. her name is ginger white. she lives in atlanta and says she met herman cain about 13 years ago in kansas. they had a drink and went back to his hotel room and that sparked a decade long affair where he would fly her around the country and the affair ended just before he started the presidential run. herman cain said none of this is true and he was helping her to try to find a job. >> the message, though, is a little bit different from his attorney, nancy. >> that's right. his attorney isn't denying these allegations in the way that herman cain is. what she is saying is this is none of anybody's business. that this is, as he puts it, an

accusation of private alleged consensual conduct, something that is not a proper topic for the media or the public. >> that's the statement that some folks are picking up on this morning. of course it has been, whether rightly or wrongly in a number of past elections, candidates' private sexual lives has come up and been questioned. is this enough to finally make it off limits and make it a non-issue? >> it doesn't appear to be right now because it is something that everybody is talking about. and perhaps in a vacuum it wouldn't gather so much attention but he was already trying to dig his way back from the huge hit he took in the polls after all of the allegations of sexual harassment surfaced. it's all of these things together that could cause a problem for herman cane. right now he says he has no intentions of dropping out of

the race unless it starts to impact his family. >> nancy, thanks. >> whoever the republican nominee will be, president obama's reelection team is getting ready to campaign by putting out its first tv ad. bill, this is being called a low key ad? >> reporter: jeff, it is pretty low key. if you had any doubt, any doubt that the campaign was already underway this makes it official. take a look. >> i'm barack obama and i aprove this message. i need you to do many a favor. the campaign is underway and the outcome will depend not on what i do but on what you do starting right now. call the number on your screen or visit joinobama.com. don't sit this one out. i would love to see you out there. >> reporter: and obama campaign officials calls this just a small test.

low budget. it features no attacks on republicans. this keeps the president above the fray and the campaign will leave it to surrogates like strategist david axelrod and more to go after candidates like mitt romney. here is one that attacks romney. >> from the creator of running for office for pete's sake comes the story of two men trapped in one body. >> i will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose. the next step is to see if roev. wade overturns. >> okay. that's what you can expect to see from the dnc or from the president's surrogates, but not from the president himself. >> we have heard plenty of that from david axelrod. that seems to be the clear

strategy. for better or worse, the elections are all about swing states and never more evident than now. >> states like virginia, north carolina, florida, just to name a few. they are all critical to his reelection. state by state for 270 electoral votes. the president has already done more key state visits and events in this year he goes back tomorrow to talk about an extension of the payroll tax cut. there is bipartisan support for that but he wants to t s ts to with tax on millionaires and that makes it a campaign issue. >> interesting. we talk all about the swing states. >> i'm sure that part will be coming up again as well.

>> terrell brown has more interesting news points over at the news desk. good morning to you. >> good morning to you both. the parent company of american airlines filed for bankruptcy. it was the only major u.s. airline to lose money last year. american says it will operate a normal flight schedule and continue to pay its employees. american has been unable to reach a cost saving measure with the pilots, unable to update the aging fleet of plains and no merge wer a competitor. iranian tv shows protesters climb the fence, took down the british flag, burned it and replaced it. back in 1979, they broke into the u.s. embassy and held americans hostage. mourners will gather in atlanta for a florida a & m drum

major who apparently died from severe hazing. here is the story. >> no one wants to be standing in our shoes. >> robert and pam champion lost a son to hazing. a drum major in the marching 100, florida a & m's famed marching band. >> he was my oldest son. >> the 26-year-old was found unresponsive aboard a van bus on november 19 and died hours later. the autopsy is incomplete but investigators believe he was attacked during a hazing ritual. the university fired the band director. >> i tried my best to make the administration aware of what problems are occurring. >> white said he had a zero row toll rens hazing policy but

university leaders failed to support him. >> if i give you the names, do something about it. if some strong actions had been taken, then robert champion may well be alive now. >> champion's parents will sue florida a & m. to end what their lawyer calls the band's don't ask don't tell culture of hazing. >> what is the culture? >> sit a culture of physical abuse. >> known to the university leadership? >> administration of the university, to the band, to the parents. >> champion sent this photo of his final

this weather report so >> this weather report sponsored by kay jewelers. every kiss begins with k. >> just ahead if you are feeling a little anxious this morning. maybe just a touch? >> always. >> you are not alone. about 40 million americans have stress issues.

>> stress issues. a lot of people anxious around the holidays. scientists now say maybe anxiety is not such a bad thing. we will have an interesting discussion about that. you are watching the early show on cbs. >> making your stress work for you. >> thank you. t me. i know. - the charmed memories collection from kay jewelers, the number one jewelry store in america. - i love it. hey babe... oh, hi honey! so i went to the doctor today, then picked up a few extra things for the baby. oh boy... i used our slate card with blueprint. we can design our own plan to avoid interest by paying off diapers and things each month. and for the bigger stuff, we can pay downalance faster to save money on interest. bigger? bigger.

of this can be an anxious time of the year. millions ofeopl >> this can be an anxious time of the year. many people are worried about losing jobs, finding jobs and holiday stress. >> maybe it is not all bad. check out this week's cover story, why anxiety is good for you. time to calm our fears. nice to have you back with us. we know it will be a fairly significant problem in this country. before we get to the exact numbers, we seem to interchange the words anxiety and stress. >> the terms do get mushy. there is a lot of overlap. the point of anxiety is it is an adaptive response. at some levels it can be good. it engages the big thinking part

of your brain. you have the foresight to fear what may come next, which is good because it gives you foresight but it can cause you to worry about things that haven't happened yet. >> 18% of americans have anxiety disorders. that's 40 million americans. how is it a good thing? >> psychologists from a curve that appears in many text books in which you see anxiety and the quality of your performance marching up hand in hand. you go into a big meeting and you are feeling a little bit tense, that gets you on edge, you are crackling and that appears in your performance. the key that performers learn is stepping off right at the peak of the curve. people get paralyzed and step down the other side. >> you mention performers learn when to stop. what about the rest of us sth how do you make that judgment?

i'm at a good place, let's not continue downhill. >> cognitive reframing. if you can anticipate what the results might be saying my performance could crash and burn. i could crash and burn on tv today. is that survivable? will the sun still come up tomorrow? if you can wrap your brain around the fact that these things will not be as destructive as you think they are and you have a plan b, it helps lower the stakes. >> if you are going to go down that road, you talk about deep breathing? other things? >> all the things that mom always told you was good for you is really good for you. plenty of sleep, exercise, socializing, doing things that make you happy. this is where we get back to your question about stress. that's when you get into that question of stress. a lot of those things make a big difference. >> some people may not find that that's enough. is this the kind of thing that

people turn to medication for? >> sure. and there is two kinds of medication and one kind of therapy. things like xanex are good for short term anxiety. anti-depressants can help and have anti-anxiety effects. but talk therapy, cognitive behavior therapy. exposing yourself to the things that fear you so that you habituate to them. that's the best and least pharmaceutical way to do these things. that's a three part kind of treat skpmt they can all work together. >> jeffrey, if you are anxious before you come on you calibrate the levels perfectly. >> that was a very calming moment. >> thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> just ahead the 401k changed the way that many americans save for retirement but one issue is

they are too complicated. >> even the man who invented the 401 k says they are too complicated and need to be fixed. coming up.ng on "the early show." on "the ,,,,

i9 seemed like a good idea at the time, but recently the man who invented the 401(k) says his creation has now turned into a monster. >> a monster, yes. he believes 401(k) choices are too complicated, that congress should overhaul the system before it turns off many people. until that happens, carmen wong ulrich is here to help you tame the 401(k). >> the beast. >> the beast, yes, indeed. what is it these days, is it just that people are too busy to pay attention to it? do they put things into auto pilot and assume the plan will run itself? >> that's a lot of it. he's a hero to many for enabling for many. he says -- his first big

complaint is it's way too complicated. when he built the 401(k), there were maybe three choices. now how many choices do we have? some of us have dozens. here is what you need to do. until things change, to be in the driver's seat for you. educate yourself. schedule a meeting with planned administrator. more companies are allowing you to have planned meetings with advisers. research your assetel acation. where exactly is your money? where is it placed? morning star.coming, go into the search box and put in portfolio rate. it shows you where you stand in terms of risk. compare your 401(k) to others in terms of fees. know yao alternatives. go to brightstar.com for a free assessment of where your company's plan lands in relation to other plans. you may be loaded with fees. you may not have very many choices. if that happened, go up to the company match in terms of

contributions, but put your money elsewhere. >> it's a balancing act here, though. because some people may want pay attention at all. others, you can change your plans too much and hurt yourself with fees and everything else. >> and what mr. bennet is saying is that turns people away from contributing at all. understand the one important basic. you've got a lot of free money there. here is the first type of free money. when you earn $100, $100 goes into your 401(k). this is pretax contribution. that is extra money you can use for retirement. also, your company match. if you have that company match and you're lucky enough to still have that, go for it. that can add another pej big percentage to your salary. that's free money you're turning down. >> free money, tax free money. any chance that 401(k)s change any time? >> probably not. stay on it. avoiding putting too much in company stock. at 3% to 5%, maybe. make sure you want. if you're too confused, go meet

with a financial adviser to make sure you're on the right track.,

i said walmart is selling this dvd cheaper. they said let me check and i got it cheaper. >> when you see that bar code, what do you do? >> you point your camera at it. the app will automatically recognize it. >> so you just have to have that app. >> it's for iphone, android, windows phone, you name it. >> it works across depending on -- >> what i mentioned about stores accepting the competitor prices, they won't accept things like amazon or retail prices. >> it's good to know. >> ipad continues to be huge for kids, right? >> uh-huh. it's one of the most asked for gifts this year. >> 6 to 12 years old. i see a lot of ipads given to 2 and 3-year-olds to keep them busy. >> nielson came out with a study saying kids want ipad, iphone webs it's something that's one of the hot gifts that they want.

>> they have to have a lot of apps on them. you have an idea for an app that can help people find the lowest prices on that. this is savvy.com, but they're not related? >> this is savvy.com made an app. i don't think you'll find a cheap ipad, but whatever your must-have is, if there's a sweet price spot, you can tell it watch out for this computer. i don't want to pay more than $400 for it. i don't want to pay more than $1,000 for that tv. but if you bought that item, there's new technology in the app to take a photo of your receipt. it will take the information, and automatically notify you within 30 days if they lower the price. >> technology. you have a surprise for us this morning, right? >> i do, i do. talk about apps for the holidays, you might not know who gave you your gift unless you

my children. and it's not until you really go through the whole wave of what happened to us with csi to realize that, you know, the children are the most important. >> in the book, you also talk about the moment you were able to retire your mother from her job. >> yes. >> that must have been nice. >> i think everybody has a dream to retire their parents. one day i walk into a casino where she was working. i put a check on the table and she was like, what's this? i said it's over, mom. i picked her up and we walked out and people were playing slot machineses going, congratulations. i walked my mother out of the hotel and she hasn't worked since and that was a great success story. >> wow. fantastic story. >> you worked a lot of odd jobs. >> i am a trauma operator. >> was that the the best one or -- >> it was a menial job. i was picking up grit butts and
