good morning. herman cain says here we go again, denying an atlanta woman's claim of a 13-year affair. >> i was aware that he was married and i was also aware that i was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship. >> cain says they are just friends. we'll take a look at how her story, though could shake up the gop presidential race. dr. conrad murray is sentenced today for causing michael jackson's death. he could get prison time or probation for involuntary man slaughter. we will preview the sentencing hearing. winter arrives very early in tennessee. .to 5 inches of snow heading up from the south. we'll take a look at where that weather is headed up next.

and for a quarter of a century, one man has kam captured the kilauea volcano. we'll talk about that and more today on "the early show." it's tuesday, november 29th, 2011. captioning funded by cbs this volcano footage will not disappoint i promise. >> i'm in. but first, more on the herman cain campaign. >> good morning to you, erica and jeff. her name is ginger white. she's an atlanta businesswoman and she says that her affair with herman cain lasted for 13 years ending just before he began his presidential campaign.

she says she's coming forward to tell her story in part because she feels bad for the women who accused him of sexual harassment. >> it was pretty simple. it was uncomplicated and i was aware that he was married and i was aware that i was involved in a very inappropriate situation, relationship. >> 46-year-old ginger white told atlanta's fox station that her relationship with cain started in the late 1990s and that he flew her around the decade for more than a country to meet up with him as he traveled. cain was asked about her claims and he says the two were just friends. >> when you say friends, these are awkward questions but i'll ask you the questions you're going to be asked. was this an affair? >> no it was not. >> there is no sex. >> no. >> cain's attorney was lynn wood was less categorical saying cain

has no obligation to discuss these accusations publicly. cain is competing for the votes of social conservatives as the allegations of an affair come on the top of several accusations of sexual harassment. since the harassment allegation surfaced witness stand, his poll numbers have dropped. during the last week of october he had 30% nationally. now he's hovering around 13%. cain's lost has been newt gingerich's gain. the former house speaker is now in first place in many polls. he attempted to fend off that he is soft on immigration. >> at least one of them is running around saying i want amnesty for 11 million people. that's totally false. >> on wednesday he told a radio station he was better positioned to be the republican romney. >> i don't claim to be the perfect candidate.

i claim to be a lot more conservative than mitt romney and a lot more electable than anybody else. >> gingerich has opened five more offices here in south carolina. he's beefing up his staff, holding fund-raisers here on hilton island this morning. it's a far cry from this summer when his campaign was nearly broke, when all of his top staffers quit at once. he says now he's planning on making a real steal for this state. jeff and erica. >> i'll take it from here nancy. thank you. joining us now is john dickerson. let's start off with these latest accusations of a 13-year affair. his attorney's statement was a little different in feeling. how does this impact his campaign? >> well, it's a tough blow. it's hard to see where are how he comes back from this. he was battling against harassment stories, he was dropping in the polls also

because of a series of miscues on foreign policy questions. people keent see him as commander in chief. now this blow. it's a tough blow for him. at the very least, it's a distraction. at the worst, it's a death blow to the campaign. >> how much more are we going to hear about it? did he do enough to sort of quell this he and his attorney with a statement about, look, there is no obligation to discuss these actcusationaccusations. and his attorney saying any candidate's sexual life is off limits. >> that's a position for the voters to take. we've had lots of discussion in presidential politics 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 that his candidacy has slipped, that everybody else is talking about romney and gingerich. it's not great for him if it's not talked about. >> if it's not great for him that it's not talked about, it means his candidacy has slipped, it wouldn't mean that he could deflect this? >> he could deflect it if he had an answer that pierced it completely. the conflict between his answer and his attorney's question brings confusion and doesn't really answer the question for voters. >> let's move on to newt gingerich. he says he's more conservative and more electable than mitt romney. how will those claims hold up? >> on the question of who is the better conservative that will be an interesting fight. gingerich is engaging it and romney has not so far. that campaign is hoping gingerich goes the way of the others.

on the question of electability republicans right now believe romney is the more electable. gingerich's argument is in a debate, he can beat barack obama. we'll see to see if he's right. the economy is showing a change on a number of fronts. consumers spending 18% more than last year, which amounted to well over $1 billion online. >> those numbers, plus the record setting results from black friday is giving wall street a boost. joining us now to break down the good news is business and economics correspondent rebecca jarvis. always good when we can say good news when it comes to the economy. >> it is nice for a change. >> cyber monday was super monday, right? yes. $1.2 billion sales online that's the estimate. the retailers that fared the

best are the department stores the likes of macy's nordstrom. apparel stores their online stores were up 24%. and this is the most interesting component of the information to me. it shows a very new trend. that is that the sales on mobile devices, people making purchases from their smartphones were up 8.5%. when you think about where things are trending here in the world, in our economy it's trend to go that space. >> which is a pretty significant increase year over year. looking back quickly, too we mentioned off the top. but the numbers for the weekend really really strong. we're learning a little bit more about those. >> yes. the big approximately out of the weekend numbers is that sales topped $50 billion. $52.4 billion in total sold and the good things here that's coming out of this is that we're breaking the record 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's just a temporary thing that people came out to shop over the weekend. >> let's follow up on that. long-term trend or short-term blip? >> i'll tell you what the long-term trend that i like in all of this. the long-term trend that i like in all of this is americans are paying down debt on an individual basis and they're 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 is people are spending more widely. >> more good news which we like. >> that is exactly what we like. one of the reasons for the gains of wall street of course the potential of a deal to settle the european debt crisis. we talked a little bit about that yesterday going into the meetings that president obama had yesterday with european leaders. bill plant joins us with more on

that. >> there was a lot of talk about the common values of the u.s. and europe but on the euro crisis, only the crisis and the promise. president obama says the u.s. stands ready to do our part to help resolve this issue. >> if europe is having difficulties, then it's much more difficult for to us 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 was, hey you have to act with force and act quickly. u.s. officials want the euro nations to come up with some kind of firewall 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 ourp to help with the debt crisis? >> no. and that was made absolutely clear yesterday. he said the issue here is a

european issue and europe needs to act. the translation is no u.s. dollars for the funds. >> give us a sense, again, just how important is this quote/unquote european issue to the health 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 on a new headline every single morning coming out of europe. are they going to fix their problems? are they not going to fix their problems? beyond that, the president raised this point about jobs. about 20% to 25% of the profitability of american companies, the biggest corporations here comes from european countries. so if that contracts all of a sudden as a result of not only a slowing europe but a 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's 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? first it was greece. now it's italy. who knows what's next. >> and that's the problem. we have this domino effect. and all of these countries throughout europe are facing their own debt crisis. as a whole, they have to come to the conclusion of how to fix it. the question of how long it goes depends on what debt policymakers do. if the eu hasn't come to a conclusion, that's the day that everyone is so fearful of. >> it may very well be a situation with the europe experiencing something you have to slog through for years and years that doesn't get fixed overnight. >> there's no overnight fix here. >> becky jarvis with us here bill plante at the white house, thank you both. we are going to switch over to terrell brown with some headlines.

american airlines and its parent company amr filed for bankruptcy the this morning. american lost $6.8 million this year. american has been unable to reach a new cost-saving contract with its pilots. it's trying to upgrade its aging fleet of planes and has not merged with another carrier like many of its competitors. barney frank is retiring. the massachusetts representative announced his decision yesterday. national correspondent chip reed reports. >> reporter: congressman barney frank is not one to mince words. >> having a conversation would you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table. >> you're a -- >> or sparring with republicans. >> my point of order is the distinguished speaker, when he was in the minority numerous times made --

>> that is not -- no. the gentleman's is spent. comments on the mike might be interesting, but they are not points of order. >> frank is known as a liberal among the liberals. loathed by republicans. >> if you want to put people in jail, i want to second with what michelle said. start with barney frank and chris dodd. >> after 32 years in congress frank will not seek re-election, the result of redistricting. >> i would have to start now raising another couple of million dollars. as i said i -- i think i'd win, but what's relevant to me is i could not put the requisite effort into that. >> frank had been the powerful chairman of the house fsn financial services committee until republicans took control of the house. he cosponsored the dodd-frank bill to overhaul wall street in the wake of the financial crisis and he was the first openly gayle gay member of congress.

frank joins ten other republican house members who were retiring. nine are democrats. more are expected to announce their departure during the season. it's a problem for democrats hoping to take control of the house and they could be concerned about momentum sparked by frank's announcement. >> senior democrats in the house are going to be recontacting their senior democrats, trying to make sure that they give them good arguments to stay in the house. >> as for congressman frank, he says he's looking forward to private life. >> one of the advantages to me of not running for office is i don't even have to pretend to try to be nice to people i don't like. >> cbs news washington. a taped phone conversation implicates her in the sexual molestation

molestation indicate she knew of the molestation and was unable to stop it. 52-year-old kevin walsh was arrested during the christmas parade saturday. police say he got frosty with them and tried to kick one of their jobs. walsh says there's snow way that -- >> no no too early, terrell. but i still love you. speaking of snow by the way, parts of tennessee got up to 5 inches of snow yesterday. a winter storm warning is in effect in memphis and northern mississippi could be as much as 2 inches of snow. it's tough to say because it feels so great here in new york. >> things are all backwards. >> i'll

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 poropofol.

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 how long 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 airlines filed for bankruptcy this morning. they have lost money out of the past ten years and lost $168 million the first nine months of this year. american says it's maintaining its flight schedule and ownering all tickets and reservations.

of a historic election in egypt. >> elizabeth palmer is in cairo with the latest on the voting there. elizabeth, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, there are no firm figures on turnout yet, but i think it's safe to say huge. even the chief electoral official here in egypt said, look, these are crowds even we didn't anticipate. for the second day in a row, egyptians cast ballots. polling stations weren't swamped like yesterday, but a steady stream of people flowed through, daring to believe their votes will put an end to egypt eight's dictatorship. >> i hope that it matters. before, votes were rigged and, you know we hope it's going to be different this time. >> reporter: it's likely to be very different. the big winners will be the islamic freedom and justice party.

for 28 years visitors to hawaii's big island have been treated to an incredible lava show. the kilauea volcano has been erupted studily and spectacularly since 1983. this is video, one taste of what one man has documented for nearly three decades living in kilauea's shadow. mick kalber joins us from his home via skype.

good morning. >> good morning, jeff. >> three decades, does this ever get old? >> not for me. it's become my life. i never expected that but it's become my life and i love every minute of it. >> tell us about some of the most recent stuff you've gotten here. >> well right behind me here you see a picture of an eruption. that happened last month. it was a curtain of about a half mile long mountain that went up some of them over 100 feet high continuously for about three days. waiting after a while, but we got up early in the morning, got some absolutely stunning pictures of it and we're lucky enough to share them with the world, actually. >> mick, how hot does it get when you're up there? >> that depends on how close you get. the lava is about 2,000 degrees. it has to stay that hot in order to flow. if the helicopter gets too close, it can bubble the 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 goingcould go on and on. >> 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. aloha. >> aloha. >> incredible.

[ sue ] wow! i've been so looking forward to this. when my asthma symptoms returned my doctor prescribed dulera to help prevent them. [ male announcer ] dulera is for patients 12 and older whose asthma is not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine like an inhaled corticosteroid. dulera will not replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. dulera helps significantly improve lung function. this was shown over a 6 month clinical study. dulera contains formoterol which increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. dulera is not for people whose asthma is well controlled with a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled your doctor will decide if you can stop dulera and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take dulera more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if dulera can help you breathe easier.

making these allegations and what has the woman said about his relationship with her? >> well erica, she is 42 years old, ginger white is her name and she says she lives in atlanta. she says she met herman contain when he was deliver ago speech for the national restaurant association in kentucky. that sparked a decade long affair where he would fly her around the country when he was giving speeches. herman cain says none of this was true. the two of them were just friends and he was helping her to find a job, erica. >> the message, though, is a little different from his attorney, nancy. >> that's right. his attorney lynn wood isn't denying these allegations the way herman cain is. essential will what he's saying is this is none of anybody's business. that this is an accusation of private alleged consensual

conduct between adults a subject matter which is not of prior inquiry by the media and public. >> and that's the statement some folks are picking up on this morning. of course, it has been rightly or wrongly in a number of past elections, a candidate's private sexual life has come up. it has been questioned. could this change the way things are done? is this enough to finally make that off limits to make it a non-issue? >> it doesn't appear to be right now, erica, but it's 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 those allegations of sexual harassment last month. it's the piling on. it's all of these things together that could cause a problem for herman cain. he says he has no intention of dropping out of the race unless

attacks on republicans. this keeps the president above the fray and the campaign will leave it to surrogates to go after rivals like mitt romney. the dnc is running ads like the one i think we're about to show you that attack romney. >> from the creator of running for office for pete's sake comes the story of two men trapped in one body. mitt versus mitt. >> i will preserve and protect a woman's right to choose. the next right step is to see roe r. wade overturned. >> that's what you can expect to change from the dnc or from the president's surrogates but not from the president himself. >> yeah. we've heard plenty of that from david axlerod even here on this set. that seems to be the clear strategy. bill presidential elections for beth or worse now are all about

swing states. and i guess never more evident than this year right? >> that's true. look where the president has traveled. pennsylvania, florida, north carolina, swing states just to name a few. they are all critical to his election. that's what we're talking about and the president has already done more key state visits and events in this year than either george w. bush or bill clinton before him. and he goes back tomorrow to pennsylvania to scranton to talk about an extension of the payroll tax cuts. now, look, there is bipartisan support for that but he wants to fund it with a million air tax hike. >> bill plante, thanks so much. terrell brown has some more interesting news points over at

do something about it. if those strong actions had been taken, then robert champion may well be alive. >> reporter: champion's parents will sue florida a&m. >> this is all he ever wanted to do. >> reporter: to end what their lawyer calls the band's don't ask don't tell culture of hazing. >> what is the culture? >> it is a culture of physical beauty abuse. >> known to the university leadership? >> known to the administration of the university, known to the administration of the band known by parents who have complained that something be done and nothing was done. >> champion said this foe foe of his final performance to his parents. hours later, he was dead. >> i just want it to stop. then somebody has to step up go forward, open that door up wide open, so you can see what's been hidden behind it. >> reporter: the school has suspend all band activities

pending a review of champion's death. mark strausman, cbs news outside our window we are seeing a little bit of sun towards the east but everyone else seeing pretty much a cloudy day, rain late morning and afternoon, by the time you drive home showers that will clear by tonight although the temperatures turn cooler, 63 degrees, cloudy, becoming rainy this afternoon. we are looking at 39 degrees tonight. early rain then the clouds break. look for it just ahead, if you're feelgz a little anxious this morning, you're not alone. about 40 million americans, it turns out, have stress issues. >> stress issues a lot of people anxious around the holidays. but scientists now say maybe

zoet is not such a bad thing. >> not all bad. >> we're going to have an interesting discussion about that coming up. >> 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. chase slate with blueprint helps you save money on life's little surprises.

nk this can be as we all know, an anxious time of year. millions of people are worried about losing their jobs keeping their jobs. >> according to "time" magazine maybe it's not all bad. check out this week's cover story, why anxiety knot all bad. we know it can be a fairly significant problem in this country. question for you we seem to interchange the terms anxiety and stress. are they one and the same? >> the terms do get mushy. and yes, there is a lot of overlap. the point of anxiety is that it is an adaptive response. at some levels it can be good because it's a response that engages the big thinking part of your brain. you're not afraid of what's in the moment.

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. >> so 18% of americans have anxiety disorders. that's 40 million americans we say it can be a good thing. how is it a good thing? >> psychologists have a curve that appears in many textbooks in which you see anxiety and the quality of your performance, marching up sort of hand in hand. you go up to do a big meeting and you're feeling tense. but that tension gets you on edge, you're crackling. that appears in your performance. the key that performers learn is when to step off right at the peak of that curve. people who get paralyzed by zoet go down. the. >> how about the rest of us? how can you make that good judgment, i'm at a good place

now, how do you continue that downhill? >> a lot of it is cognitive framing. if you can anticipate what the results might be and say, okay my performance could crash and burn, i could crash and burn on tv here today, is that survive survivable? will the sun still come up tomorrow? and if you can wrap your brain around the fact that these things will not be as constructive as they are and that you'll have a plan b for how you recover, it helps lower the stakes. >> if you go too far down that road, we talk about deep breathing? >> all the stuff mom told you was good for you really is good for you. getting plenty of sleep, socialize, exercising doing all the things that make you happy are always there with coping with chronic anxiety. that's where we get back to this question about stress. when it gets chronic, that's when we get back into your question of stress. >> some people may find that's not enough. is that something ultimately people turn to medication for? >> sure.

and there are two kinds of medication and one kind of therapy. things like xanax and valium are good for short-term acute anxiety in the moment. but they're highly addictive and they teach you long lastno long lasting skills. antidepressants can make people more receptive to therapy. but talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy that cognitive reframing and behavioral therapy exposing yourself gradually to the things that fear you so that you habituate to them. that's really the best and least pharmaceutical ways to do these things. but it's a three-part kind of treatment and they can all work together. >> jeffrey if you're allegation when you come on you always kab calibrate the levels perfectly. >> that was a very calming moment. i like that. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. thank you for having me. just ahead, the 401(k) changed the way many americans save for retirement. but one issue for folks, it's too complicated.

>> even the man who invented the 401(k) says they're too difficult and how you can make the best choices, coming on "the early show."

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. >> just ahead,

jth it is 25 minutes past the hour. >> good morning, everyone. temperatures have been nice all day. right around 60 degrees, we are going up a few more degrees. the rain is moving in from the south. more and more cloud cover and rain and by the afternoon all of us will see it, it moves out tonight. forecast 63 degrees, cloudy and rainy by the time you are driving home more of it. 39 degrees tonight with clouds breezy and cooler tomorrow, 53 degrees with clouds and sun, now over to sharon gibala with wjz traffic control. >> hi there, tim, good morning, everyone, this latest accident on 97 in the northbound direction. an update on the other accident

we were talking about on the outer loop. that ramp to parring parkway is closed because of it. an accident on the ender on the inner loop. that one on the jfx. speeds in the 20s there. this is brought to you by auto service plus. back over to you, don. >> thank you, very much, gary giordana, the man jailed in connection with the disappear answer of robyn gardner is due to be set free there today. monique griego is on the story good morning, everyone. he has been held in jail for 100 days accused of killing her. all along he has been the only

date with a victoria secret model. >> did you submit that from anonymous sfp. >> anonymous, yes. >> he's submitting questions from home, actually. >> you're goth to get me into so much trouble. anthony zuiker had a real interesting life story. his idea for csi took hollywood by storm. that may be an understatement at this point. he's now written the story of his life and of his father's tragic death. it's sort of a blending of his personal and professional life. he's going to join us to talk more about that and what it's like to be mr. csi. >> some very touching moments in that book. but first, whether you're buying christmas gifts online or in the stores you can get some great smartphone apps these days. we talked about what a big day cyber monday was. >> 8.5% increase in sales.

here to help us have an app-y shopping experience online christine is here with us. >> it's shopsavvy. there are a lot of coupon ads, but one thing i like is to use a bar code scanner app. shop savvy has been out for a long time. it's simply a bar code scanner. when you scan the product, it will show you, oh here is what everyone is selling it at and what price. so when you're at a store, you can find out if someone is selling it cheaper. go to a retailer that will accept competitor prices. not all will do that. >> and so are there stores that if they accept that price, you can go to them with their phone? >> i've gone to a best buy. 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 had an app in this case. this is something jcpenney is is

his weight. the 8-year-old should weigh about 60 pounds but weighs more than 200. that puts him at risk for developing diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. caseworkers say they tried hard to help the boy lose weight. >> we were involved with this family for about 20 months before that action occurred. the medical community brought this situation to our attention. this is a medical neglect case. >> a lawyer for the boy's mother says she's fighting to get that boy returned homes. >> and some folks in arizona are having a heavily armed christmas. nothing like santa in an ak-47. a gun club is letting santa and kids to pose with santa. a gun advocate says you don't have to be a gun advocate to have fun with it. it looks like they're

going through the internal catalog? >> the funny thing about my life in general, the csi success has been so amazing for so many people, including for myself. i went back to re-examine the book and look at my life. there was so much struggle involved in the success of my life and csi. so i wanted to write the book to make sure if you're a fan of csi, there's a real person behind it, but there's a lot of inspiration to that success, also. >> when you're looking at the strugglings, there's a lot to it. when you lay them all out there, it's a tooilths totally different perspective. how did that change the way you live your life now? >> it did. when you're in television you wrote one script in your life and it becomes the biggest show on the planet -- >> because it was different. >> it's overwhelming to even process that this show can be in every country but six and be on the air for 30 years with all three shows. but you realize when you go through the fire and go through success, that the true success in my life is being a father to 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 end pd up in hollywood.

>> you were patient, though. you were patient. you did those jobs and you put in your time and you waited for the opportunity. >> i think there's a lot of talent for people in america to have a lot of great ideas. if this book does anything write, it let's you have permission in this country if you do if right thing, you can have a lot of success. >> the kids that really is what matters, especially these days. >> it's all about family. >> anthony zuikeer, thanks so much. now, some of the world's most beautiful women hit the cat walk tonight mere on cbs nor the annual victoria's secret fashion show. also on stage, nickiminaj and maroon five. >> so many people will be watching. the fashion is decidedly on the
