7:04 am
ending a 30-hour standoff, an explosion and heavy gunfire marks the start of the operation to arrest merah. the police weren't even sure he was still alive. after telling negotiators he was going to surrender, he went quiet overnight. but explained french's interior minister when officers entered the apartment, merah came out of the bathroom guns blazing. he jumped out of the window still firing at police and was found dead on the ground. it was a dramatic end to a ten-day shooting spree but french authorities face tough questions about how this young man of algerian dissent seen in more care-free days was able to allude detection. after having been arrested during a trip to afghanistan and sent back to france, merah was placed under surveillance and yet he was able to emass an arsenal of weapons and carry out
7:05 am
attacks that left three children dead. one of the reasons french authorities wanted to take merah alive was to interrogate him and understand the roots of his radicalization. that of course will be much more difficult now. charlie? >> liz, with the death of the gunman and the tragic death of those people who he killed, will it change the battle against terrorism in france? >> reporter: president nicolas sarkozy just announced a big crackdown on terrorism online in particular on violent jihadist websites so there will be more surveillance of the people who use them. >> liz, are they firmly convinced at this point that this was truly a lone wolf situation? that he wasn't working with anybody else? >> reporter: this is exactly what they're going to be investigating. there is some indication that his brother had been involved in moving fighters into the hot conflicts of the middle east so a possible connection there. and also of course he went off
7:06 am
to afghanistan and pakistan. police are going to look into who he met and what he was up to there. >> many questions to answer. liz, thanks. here at home, outrage over the fatal shooting of 17-year-old trayvon martin is spreading around the country. on wednesday marchers took to the streets in new york city and in miami. protesters are calling for the arrest of the shooter. neighborhood watchman george zimmerman. he's not the only one under fire. jeff glor is following the story in sanford, florida. >> reporter: last night the sanford city council voted no confidence in their police chief after more rallies including that rally in new york. hundreds were there saying there's been no justice for trayvon martin. it was called the million hoodie march. martin was wearing a hoodie the night george zimmerman shot and killed him. martin's parents surrounded by
7:07 am
supporters. >> our son was not committing any crimes. our son is your son. i want you guys to stand up for justice and stand up for what's right. >> reporter: another rally was held in miami. martin's home. three weeks ago the unarmed teen was shot in this gated subdivision in sanford outside orlando. he had been visiting his father after getting suspended from school. zimmerman, hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer, was not arrested. he claims self-defense. florida's stand your ground law, which expands the right to claim self-defense beyond the home. last night in a 3-2 split vote, the sanford city council, including mayor jeff triplett backed that no-confidence motion against police chief bill lee. >> i could have gone either way. from what i have seen, i've seen better. >> lee's fate now lies in the
7:08 am
hand of the city manager. >> the reality is what did chief lee do? did he act inappropriately? has he caused the problem? that's what i'm going to look at. >> reporter: at an naacp forum earlier, some complained about a history of local police intimidation. >> too many young people that have died. >> reporter: as that tension rises, the co-author of the stand your ground law in effect since 2005 is now saying that may need to be clarified. >> nothing is ever finished in the legislature. i learned that. everything can always be readdressed. >> reporter: representative dennis baxley said the law was not intended to cover citizens who pursue suspected threats. if i hear you correctly, you're willing to revisit the language in this law and potentially change it. >> we need to look at the circumstances that occurred and see if some kind of legislation is in order. >> reporter: at least two more rallies are planned for today and at the same time we have not
7:09 am
heard from george zimmerman. he remains in hiding. erica? >> it terms of stand your ground law, how soon could the state look at possibly amending it? >> reporter: i think a lot of it depends on how much political pressure they feel which right now is quite a bit. yesterday florida governor rick scott did add his voice to this debate saying that stand your ground probably needs a fresh look. >> jeff glor in sanford, florida. thank you. there's disturbing news out of capitol hill. on wednesday iranian nationals we're learning conducted surveillance of potential terrorist targets in new york city. at least six times since the september 11th attacks. at least 13 men with ties to the iranian government were questioned and released. nypd's director of intelligence says the last incident they know of was in 2010. >> because of the large jewish
7:10 am
population and status as one of the two outposts of iranian diplomatic presence in the u.s., the united nations mission, the city remains the most likely venue to global tensions with iran to spillover onto american soil. >> the iranian sought out high profile marketargets like the brooklyn bridge. president obama is on a four-state tour. the events have trappings of campaign stops. chief white house correspondent norah o'donnell is traveling with the president and has this report. >> reporter: under fire on the issue that could be his achilles' heel during this campaign, president obama is working to combat the impression that he's not doing enough to remedy high gas prices. >> we are going to continue producing oil and gas at a record pace. >> reporter: the president first paid a visit here to this solar
7:11 am
plant in nevada. it's the largest of its kind in the country and home to nearly a million solar panels. here he blasted republicans who he says have favored oil companies over investments in alternative energy. >> the current members of flat energy society in congress would rather see us continue to provide $4 billion, $4 billion in tax subsidies to the oil companies. >> reporter: he flew to another battleground state, new mexico. the president visited an oil and gas field to rebut republican claims he's blocked oil and gas productions. that didn't stop a republican group run by karl rove from running these ads blaming him for the pain at the pump. >> obama lobbied to kill a pipeline bringing oil from canada. >> reporter: with the president set to arrive in cushing, oklahoma, to speed up plans for
7:12 am
part of the keystone pipeline, mitt romney pounced. >> he's completing the lower half of the keystone pipeline. the one from canada. i am not sure what impact it will have being it's not connected to the canadian oil. >> reporter: republicans say the president is not doing enough to tackle rising gas prices which they see as already undermining mr. obama's re-election chances. for cbs this morning, norah o'donnell, boulder city, nevada. mitt romney's campaign for the republican presidential nomination meantime is trying to recover from the latest setback. although he received an important endorsement from former governor jeb bush yesterday a comment from run of romney's aides has people raising doubts about romney. romney went into damage control. >> i'm running as a conservative republican. i was conservative republican
7:13 am
governor. i'll run as a conservative nominee for president. the policies and positions are the same. >> that should be comforting to all of you voting in this primary. whoever you're going to vote for will be a completely new candidate. >> mississippi governor haley barbour joins us now. you used to chair the republican national committee. welcome, governor. >> thanks, charlie. >> first this decision and this endorsement by jeb bush who says it's time to unite. >> well, that's for the candidates to decide. these guys have been out there and run and worked hard and not for me to say people ought to get out. pretty soon the republican voters are going to have coalesced behind somebody. haven't done that yet. maybe we're on the verge of that. that's when decisions ought to be made. not for somebody else to say so and so ought to get out of the way. that's not the way the system works. >> you yourself have said about this campaign it's about each
7:14 am
other and they have not focused on the president and if they don't do that, they're going to be in a bad place when the general election comes. >> no question that every minute that republicans spend on anything other than barack obama's policies and failed results of those policies, we're not on our best subject. >> are you prepared to unite and support governor romney? >> once this is over and we may be on the verge of that, but i don't know. one thing i've got smart enough at about unpredictability of this race is i quit predicting. i'm not that dumb. the fact of the matter is romney now has a chance again to build on illinois and get people to coalesce behind him and that may or may not happen. that's really up to the republican voters and you got to trust the voters. that's the way the system should work. >> you also have a political race here. you have a candidate who conservatives don't seem to be sure about. you have this etch-a-sketch
7:15 am
thing. is he conservative? >> no question about that. president obama is the great uniter among republicans. if mitt wins the nomination or rick or newt or anybody else -- >> if mitt romney is nominee, he'll have no problem with conservatives? they'll be there with the candidate? >> our party will unite among him. there's not going to be a perfect candidate this year or any other year that i've ever been involved in politics. >> i want to go back to one thing you touched on with charlie. as we talk about this drawn out process, you yourself have said this is bad for the process to draw it out like that. i know you don't want to influence anybody's vote. should anybody then be speaking out? should we have jeb bush
7:16 am
supporting him and people pushing for those endorsements? >> it's fine for people to do that. i won't do that. >> do you think they're effective? an endorsement? >> sometimes. i think with jeb bush it's a very, very popular well regarded and rightly well regarded person in our party. from a very important target state. >> is there anybody who you think that could come out in support of a different candidate, say rick santorum, say newt gingrich who you voted for your primary who you think would be an important voice for one of them that could tip the tables? >> i don't know about tipping the tables. people are important. get it listened to. have influence. endorsements don't change people's votes. may get them to think about something. may put something in their mind. in this contest when i say the process has been bad, it's for the reason charlie said. it's not that it's bad to have a contest. we need to be focused on obama's policies. if this election is a referendum on obama's policies, he's going to lose. >> if not --
7:17 am
>> republicans will lose. he has a better chance of winning if it's not about his policies. that's why you hear supporters say it's not a referendum on his policies. they don't want it to be. >> the economy is improving. the president will go to the country and say things in much better shape and trending up. my policies are at long last working. >> to hear the administration and liberal media leads you to think the economy is getting great. charlie -- >> i didn't realize you think the chairman is an elite. >> he's talking about headwinds and problems and difficulties and pit falls, but the economy is thank goodness getting a little better. remind me of when we were kids in the south. used to be a country song. the lyrics were i've been down so long it looks like up to me now. >> i know the song. i know the song. >> so compared to obama's policies for the last couple of years, we have seen a little improvement in employment.
7:18 am
charlie, last month 58.6% of americans had a job. 58.6% of adult americans were working except for the obama administration that's the lowest percentage since 1983. for 30 years. i hope it gets better but let's don't act like this is morning in america. >> a phrase that ronald reagan used at the time of his second campaign. thank you, governor. great to see you. >> thank you, charlie. >> come back any time. >> get you a look at this morning's headlines from around the globe. dharun ravi convicted of a hate crime for posting an encounter of his gay roommate on the internet says he's sorry and he's not the same person he was two years ago. his roommate committed suicide. more fallout from a breast canc

dramatic video of a an apache helicopter in afghanistan. it was posted online. the incident happened on february 6th. incredibly, as you watch this here, the most amazing part is no one was injured. the cause of the crash is under investigation. welcome back to "cbs this morning" at half past the hour. the nfl is reeling from one of the biggest scandals in recent memory. on wednesday commissioner roger goodell handed down unprecedented sanctions against the new orleans saints. >> goodell found the team's management was in on a scheme that paid players to injure their opponents. armen keteyian has new details.
7:31 am
>> roger goodell sent a clear message to the world of professional sports that lying in disrespect would not be tolerated as the nfl punished those they held responsible for the so-called bounty program that was exposed earlier this month. >> reporter: sean payton is one of the best and brightest head coaches in the nfl. no brighter than when his new orleans saints swept to a super bowl title in 2010. lifting a city shattered by hurricane katrina. but now payton is down and out, suspended for all of next season by nfl commissioner roger goodell. >> on second and seven, intercept intercepted. >> reporter: a pay to injure bounty system the last three seasons. >> the game doesn't need to be played this way. we need to change the culture. this is another step in changing that culture. >> reporter: in addition to payton's year-long ban, goodell indefinitely suspended gregg
7:32 am
williams, the team's defensive coordinator at the time and architect of the scheme. assistant head coach received six games. mickey loomis got eight games without pay. the saints were fined $500,000. >> you have a systematic problem in new orleans and it has to be dealt with severely and has to be dealt with quickly. i commend the commissioner for protecting the integrity of the nfl. >> reporter: on twitter, player reaction ranged from suspect to disbelief. saints' quarterback drew brees wrote,my speechless. minnesota viking punter wrote, goodell set the right message. earlier this month an nfl report based on a two-year investigation had implicated as many as 27 saints players. williams was cited for handing out cash donated by players. $1,000 for forcing an opponent to be carted off the field. $1500 for a knockout hit. >> the money is so significant and why somebody would play harder for a $10,000 bonus to
7:33 am
knock brett favre out of the game is a mindless mindset. >> sean payton is the first head coach suspended by the league for any reason. the only previous action that comes even close to these kind of punishments dates back to 1963 and the year-long suspension of nfl stars paul horning and alex cariss for gambling. >> cbs news special correspondent james brown from atlanta cbs sports shannon sharpe. does the punishment fit the crime? >> i think it does. i think the commissioner was severe in his penalties for two reasons. there's litigation right now that the nfl is being sued by 500 to 700 former players and their families for concussions and concussion-related symptoms. the nfl had to take a stand and say, we don't promote this. we don't condone this. once we found out about it, we put a stop to it immediately. second and foremost, i think the
7:34 am
main reason was, throughout this investigation you heard the commissioner talk. when he sent his people down to the new orleans saints and asked them about this bounty program, mickey loomis, sean payton, they lied to his face. the 50,000 page documents tells you the nfl was thorough in their investigation. not only did they lie to his face, he told them to stop it if it was going on and they continually went behind his back and did it. when he asked them about it again, they lied again. he said one thing when he took the office, i'm going to hold coaches and upper management to a higher standard than i hold the players and i hold the players to a very high standard. >> it's interesting, the points shannon brings up, because there's been some talk about, well, this is really a business decision and we have to show our muscles. as shannon lays it out and everything else that happened, it goes far beyond it. >> no question. they lied to the commissioner. he was not going to stand for that. bottom line. >> does it stop after this? >> no, no. you know what, it's going to be
7:35 am
interesting. there is a move afoot assist commissioner is telling you that they want a signed letter saying a pay for performance program will not be continued. it's been going on since time in memorial in terms of guys putting money in a kitty to make by plays, momentum-changing plays. what's so difference and egregio egregious, the aim of the bounty program is to aim to injure and knock a guy out of the game to end his career. that can't be tolerated. >> i was reading this this morning again, the memo sent out yesterday. i said, you could feel the steam coming off this thing. they are so upset, deliberate effort to conceal the program's programs by sean payton, lying to the commissioner's face repeatedly and saying, we have to get our ducks in a row when this investigation was going on. that just is not going to work. >> some of the coaches were shocked thinking it was
7:36 am
heavy-handed. once all the facts were known, i didn't find a coach that disagreed with the investigation that was meted out. i would like to hear again, because there seems to be a move afoot where it's not unusual to suspect pay for performance. you give special teams players, you incentivize them to stop a team inside the 20 yard line. shannon, that went on for a while. >> it is still going on. it's always going to go on, j.b. i heard one of my colleagues, i think that was boomer's voice saying, you get a guy to try to injure a guy to play harder for $1,000. those same guys play harder to get monday and tuesday off and not have to show up to work on -- until wednesday. it's not -- i don't really think it was so much the money. it's the thing of being called out in front of your team and say, hey, we won this game because this guy had the game-changing play. j.b., i remember i was in the eighth grade, playing a team and my coach called a time-out because we couldn't stop their running back. he said, the next player that
7:37 am
tackled this guy by himself, i'm taking him out of the ball game. he says, i want five on this guy every single time. he was their best player. he said, i don't want to you hit him dirty. i want you to hit him every single time, five to six guys. the guy went out. ball game, we end up winning. you always try and take through the scope of the game, the rules of the game, you always try to take the best player away from his team. >> some controversy about how they found out about this. what do you know about that? >> i know enough here. a lot has been said about this. charlie, there was a lower level employee within the organization, an ex-employee, who was disgruntled because of the way he was treated or not treated by sean payton and gregg williams, and he was the one who went to the league and provided them with the documentation that gave the footing, if you will, to the league office to be able to pursue this and have unquestioned evidence that this program -- >> you're saying employee, not former player? >> employee, not former player. >> that's my only problem.
7:38 am
why didn't he come forward when it was going on? why only after you were not an employee or no longer affiliated with the new orleans saints? i don't have a problem. this was something that needed to be stopped. i'm glad we got the -- the commissioner came down very hard on all those that were involved. but my only problem is, j.b., when you were reaping the fruits of this labor, you never came forward. you never had a problem. you never would have said anything as long as you were still gainfully employed by the new orleans saint. it was only after you became disgrudi disgruntled or upset that you felt you needed -- >> same type of story, just a different environment. it's human nature. >> speaking of human nature, tim tebow is coming to new york. we've listened to the bad side of the nfl. here is the side of the nfl that everybody gets excited about. tim tebow, a new york jet. new york post, gangrene gets
7:39 am
tebow. what do you think? >> shannon is going to be pretty strong. >> shannon, let's hear you. >> i think this is something that had to be done. i commend john elway because change is very unpopular, especially when it's been successful. this young man came in for the broncos, 1-4, leads them to the afc west division title. wins a playoff game. but john elway felt, mr. bolen also had to sign off because this was a huge commitment, in order for them to win a championship moving forward, peyton manning at any chance could be their quarterback, he needed to be their quarterback. i understand. people, why won't they keep tebow to let him learn under payton manning? my grandfather used to tell us, as long as the lions and elephants are in town, so is the circus. they had to remove -- >> by the way, shannon will be here with shannonisms that you love. >> the circus is coming to new york. >> yes. >> more about this another day.

7:46 am
and we're more worried about getting busted than we are about getting hurt. >> reporter: which is what motivated james to share the video with cbs affiliate wusa. >> i'm here to save somebody else. >> we know where we're going. >> reporter: that night, police say, their vehicle was traveling 94 miles per hour, where the posted limit was 40. it lost control, slamming into a brick embankment, sending debris flying. a night of partying, ending abruptly with a mistake repeated by thousands each year. >> you never think something like this is going to happen to you. it's one in a million, like, and then, boom, it hits you. and there you are, that one in a million. >> reporter: now, across the country the number of dui crashes has actually gone down in recent years. the group mothers against drunk driving credits increase in enforcement and technology, but

and what that feels like. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms by keeping my airways open a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. and it's steroid-free. spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? ask your doctor if spiriva can help.

rick santorum is still hanging in there. this is interesting. it's been reported that the santorum campaign has raised at least $300,000 by selling sweater vests. [ laughter ] yeah. meanwhile, the newt gingrich campaign has made twice that by selling spanx for men. [ laughter ] >> it's 8:00. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king. i don't know. spanx for men. sarah blakley was here and she made the offer of spanx for men. >> did you take her up on that offer? >> no, i have not. i would like to take her up on the offer to invest in her business. >> yes. charlie rose is in good shape. it's a joke. >> i'm charlie rose with erica hill. yesterday on this broadcast chief investigative
8:01 am
correspondent armen keteyian followed the path of counterfeit versions of avastin into the united states. >> this morning armen is with us to tell us about canada's largest internet pharmacy. good morning. >> good morning. it's estimated there are some 40,000 internet websites that sell prescription medications and the majority claim to be canadian. but as we found out, more and more, it's buyer beware. >> reporter: canadadrugs.com bills itself as the largest and most trusted online canadian pharmacy. based in this office building in winnipeg, manitoba, it says it sells medications to people in 135 country, including the u.s. brock smith is the company's chief development officer. >> skbreernl. >> we're international. we started 11 years ago. we're just like any other pharmacy you might deal with in your local neighborhood, except
8:02 am
we send the medications by mail. >> reporter: as we discovered, it's not that simple when it comes to buying drugs online. >> no drugs that are being shipped via the internet to u.s. consumers from websites we've identified actually come from canada or have actually been approved by health canada. >> reporter: we looked at 63 versions of the 12 most popular drugs on canada drugs' website to see if we ordered them, where they would come from. almost all of them were from india, turkey, australia or the uk. >> we're quite proud of what we do and working with licensed pharmacy partners. each one of our pharmacy partners undergoes inspection and glass licensure from local and national regulatory authorities. >> reporter: cbs news learned one of canada drugs' key suppliers is this man, tom haughton. hi. tom, armen keteyian. >> reporter: who admits his company was responsible for sending at least 36 vials of counterfeit avastin into the u.s. last year. haughton owns several pharmaceutical related businesses here in barbados and some 3,000 website domain names.
8:03 am
many that take you to canadadrugs.com. >> we've worked with tom for quite some time. he's one of our trusted partners. >> reporter: a source close to a federal investigation told cbs news haughton's role in shipping the fake avastin into the u.s. is a key part of a criminal probe. haughton told us, he didn't know the drugs were counterfeit. >> we didn't buy it out of someone's trunk of the car. we bought it through a licensed and registered wholesaler. >> reporter: you're saying it's not your fault? >> it's my fault that my company sold this product. but i'm telling you, we sourced it from the controlled and regulated eu supply chain that millions of people trust every day. >> reporter: regardless of the source, according to the u.s. food and drug administration, it is illegal for pharmacies based in canada and other countries to ship prescription drugs into the u.s. >> canada drugs is not licensed in any of the u.s. states.
8:04 am
what that means is that they are not allowed to ship products into the u.s. they violate state law every time they ship a package to a u.s. patient. >> reporter: in a statement, canadadrugs.com said it's been legally licensed to carry on business as an international prescription service pharmacy by the manitoba pharmaceutical association. its pharmacies follow all laws and regulatory requirements in the jurisdictions where they operate. >> canadadrugs.com says its company had nothing to do with the fake avastin, but regulators and law enforcement officials tell us this is exactly why it's illegal to sell unapproved drugs from overseas in the u.s., the possibility that drugs from questionable suppliers could end up in your medicine cabinet. >> tom haughton didn't seem to think he had any responsibility in this. he's like, nope, nope, we did everything above board. does he have any responsibility? what's his -- what is his relationship, if there is one, between drug -- canadadrugs.com. >> he has an interesting relationship. his brother-in-law is actually the ceo of canadadrugs.com.
8:05 am
and his brother-in-law shows up on many of the court papers and the corporation papers, i should say, for many of the companies that tom haughton owns in barbados that are pharmaceutical related. it's a very interesting relationship. the other thing that happens is, you try to separate these companies and i think that's one of the things they do. they try to -- it's almost like, what's behind door number one? what's behind door number two? it makes it very difficult for regulators to separate and figure out. >> what's the consequence of this story so far? >> right now a grand jury has been convened. we know subpoenas have gone out to the 19 medical clinics in the u.s. that received the fake avastin. they're still searching for the original source of the

ways to figure out a way to slim down. >> and some incentive as rebecca jarvis reports, two college students have a unique way to entice people to not only join the gym but to actually go. >> 202 and three fourths, down from 220. >> reporter: richard was making progress in his struggle to lose weight. but like the majority of americans, he still wishes the number on that scale was a little lower. >> i was trying to get past law school weight. >> reporter: in the end, fun times with friends beat out trips to the gym. >> i tried a lot of stuff. and i found that i really just wasn't sticking with anything. >> reporter: what richard needed was some extra motivation. and he found it. how much weight have you lost? >> i've lost about 18 pounds so far. >> reporter: almost 20 pounds. >> yeah. >> reporter: his secret, a free iphone app called gym packed, one of thousands of fitness-related apps on the market today. richard says it works because it's simple. >> you go to the gym, you make
8:13 am
money. you don't go to the gym, you lose money. it makes enforcing your fitness really simple math. >> reporter: gym pack users sign up, commit to going to the gym x number of times a week and agree to pay a certain amount for every session they skip with a minimum wager of $5. >> i do $10 a session and i made a pact of going three times a week. i have a chance of losing up to $30 a week, which is enough for me. >> we thought that money could be a great motivator to help people achieve their goals. >> reporter: one of the minds behind gym pact, she came up with the idea between classes at harvard. they wanted to test the idea that the fear of losing money would inspire people to lose weight. >> people worry about loss twice or more than the amount they worry about their weight. >> reporter: but there are rewards, too. payouts average 50 cents per workout. if you pledge to go to the gym five days that week, you earn
8:14 am
$2.50. >> it's not a huge amount but a great reward. a lot of users say they bought a coffee at the gym or, you know, some small reward to feel good about achievement. >> reporter: the combination of risk and reward is working. 90% of gym pact users end up meeting their goals. that could be good news for the 50 million americans who buy gym memberships but aren't actually going. >> what it's great for is the day when it's raining or you woke up late or you have an extra project you have to handle and life presents you with an excuse. >> reporter: and despite their young ages, they promise the app isn't just targeted at the 20-something crowd. your mom is a big gym pact user? >> yeah. she has a two a day commitment and she does it with her friends. >> that's assuming when we go to the gym we're actually going to do something and not sit there and look at everybody else working out. >> good point. richard, the character in our
8:15 am
story, says if you go to the gym and use gym pact and check in and sit around, then your problems are bigger than getting to the gym. you should see a shrink, too. >> the success rate is really high. >> it is really high. they are tracking whether or not people really are legitimately going to the gym. this is a gps-enabled system. once you check in, you have to stay at the gym for 30 minutes in order to get the credit. they have about 30,000 users right now, mostly in urban areas and they're even in international places as well. they're not just in the united states right now. >> you said you could earn money back, 50 cents per visit. where does that money come from? are they paying you to go? >> where the money comes from is from the people who are saying they're not going to the gym. so, if you don't go to the gym and you have to pay out, that money goes towards two things. one, pays the salary, the income of the people who founded gym pact. two, it goes toward the individuals who actually do go to the gym. so, it's a self-fulfilling system right now. but what may be the case in the future is that a lot of insurance companies right now, they give you credit for going to the gym already.
8:16 am
they allow you to get subsidized for gym visits. those insurance companies may partner up with gym pact in the future and give them a little bit of reciprocity for using the app and letting their users get healthier and more physically fit by doing so. >> once again, erica, did you notice they're from harvard. mark zuckerberg, from harvard. remember the soccer girls. >> soccer girls. >> wow. >> you know, they're wicked smart across the river at boston university, too. shout out. >> she can speak for that. thank you. >> we're going to be talking mad money. just how much would don draper be making today and what would it take to support that lavish lifestyle? we're going to make that long story short. you're watching cbs "this morning." >> "cbs healthwatch" sponsored

attended a public meeting to get to the bottom of the booms, but as betty nguyen reports, they aren't any closer to the truth. >> reporter: it could be the owning scene of a horror film. here in the sleepy wisconsin town of clintonville, something's going bump in the night. >> the last few days we've been having booming, shaking noise. >> the house is rattling. you can hear the ground rattling. it's booming all the time. it's kind of like what's going on, you know? you don't know what's happening. >> reporter: clintonville hasn't figured out the source of the booms but they have checked water, sewer and gas line and rolled out mi-- ruled out minin activity. >> it's strange. >> reporter: clues can be found anywhere. city officials tried less than high-tech solutions like capturing the vibrations in a coffee pot. thap morning a loud noise was reported at 5 a.m. but the coffee pot came up empty. >> nobody seems to know. could be terrible, could be bad,
8:32 am
could be good, who knows. >> what's going to happen if -- we don't have any warning. >> reporter: hundreds attended a meeting at the local high school to find answers. >> there may be some reason to believe the warm spring could be shifting the granite rocks under our community. >> reporter: unlike limestone, which could be dissolved by water and collapse into a sinkhole, granite is solid. there are small cracks that can be filled by water if underground water levels drop, those cracks could lead to small shifts, resulting in booms. >> you can feel it beneath you. like, i mean, if you're stanning on the yard, you can feel the ground move. >> reporter: clintonville spent an estimated $7,000 to hire an engineering firm to find the source of the booms. so far, the mystery has only grown. >> do we just kind of go away until this is all settled or do we stay around and see what happens? >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," betty nguyen. government rereport provides a revealing look at marriage in
8:33 am
america. it finds the state of our unions is fragile. nearly 50% of marriages end within 20 years and percentage of people living together has nearly quadrupled over the last three decades. >> say it three timed fast. >> dr. andrew is a socialologist at john hopkins and author of "the marriage go-round." hello. >> hello, gayle. >> very good to see you. >> nice to be here. >> i always get concerned when these statistics come out because i've seen reports that say marriage is obsolete. or is becoming obsolete. please tell me that is not the case. >> it is not the case. what this report shows is that people are taking longer to marry but they're getting around to it. by the time they're age 40, most of them get married but it happens in their late 20s or 30s. what's happened is the place of marriage in our lives has changed. used to be that marriage was the first step into adulthood. you got married, then got a job, then apartment. now it's often the last step,
8:34 am
when everything else is done, when your personal life is in order, you celebrate by getting married. but people do. >> you establish yourself first. so you get married, and we do it later, but when we look at that number, half of marriages are breaking up, essentially, before they hit the 20-year mark, where does that come from? >> i think it comes from the flipside of the great american individualism. you know, we're concerned about ourselves, our personal development. we see marriage in a very personal way. we value it but if it's not successful in our -- in providing us with what we need, we feel justified. we have the highest divorce rate of any wealthy country in the world. >> why is that? >> that's what i would like to know. >> because we're more -- >> that's what i would like to know. >> i sit here before you as a divorced person. i won't go into details of what happened with tyrone, the ex, and i, not his real name. but i know the real reason what happened to me. but why is the divorce rate so high? >> because we're americans and we think we're justified in having the best personal life we can do.
8:35 am
we move on to new relationships if the first one isn't well. >> it almost feels like, correct me if this is too simple an analogy, everything is so inexpensive, if something is broke, we buy a new one. is that what we do with a relationship, we just say, i'll move on. >> a very troubling educational gap here. this report shows that college graduates have twice the likelihood of having their marriage last for 20 years as do people without a high school degree. >> why is that? >> college graduates are the ones who can still get jobs in our transformed economy. >> success in marriage is directly linked to your economic? >> it's very important if you don't have that economic foundation, you can have troubles in your marriage. these are the people who can pull two jobs together, have decent incomes, make it and their marriages are more successful. >> what about people staying in marriage but are terribly unhappy? >> there are fewer than used to be the case. 50 years ago when divorce was not acceptable, there were lots
8:36 am
of maerrriages like that. people who stayed together for the sake of their children. there's not as many these days. it's more okay to end a relationship, which is one reason there's so much more divorce here than used to be. >> is that good or bad for the kids? >> i don't think divorce is good for the kids. >> but is staying in a bad marriage good for them? >> if the marriage -- >> we're all at the same time -- >> for the children! >> gayle, did you want to share something? >> what you saw is a great moment in this program. >> we don't want you to feel attacked in any way. >> i don't. >> we have marriage, divorce, divorce. >> would you get married again, charlie? >> yes. >> you would? i would too. i would, too. >> i'd be very, very happy if i don't as well. >> yep. i'm at that place, too. i'm at that place, too. >> if the marriage -- >> marriage is about a relationship. >> yeah. if it's bad enough, it's clearly if the couple separates but a lot of people get divorced in a situation where it's maybe not terrible but they're a little bored.
8:37 am
>> one thing that's interesting about this conversation is the notion that can you make it work if you run onto rough times. what are the secrets to making a troubled marriage work? it's conversation, counseling, whatever it is, because sometimes people can get over humps and find some kind of direction for the future. >> you know, it's a combination of some kind of basic security, basic financial security, and some communication. some ability to work out your problems. so, interrelational aspects and economic foundations. >> the divorce club is a very big group. i know there's a lot of nice people in the divorce club. >> you know, they get remarried again. we have more churning, more people going back and forth -- >> churning. that's what we have to do, charlie, churn. >> churn. >> erica's happily married. >> can you churn? >> i'm going to churn in my happy marriage. i'm going to stay married. thank you, doctor. >> thank you. she's a hollywood icon and a force of nature in every life
