All that a soldiers Surprise Homecoming at the rose parade in california. Oh, thats beautiful. Makes me cry. And all that matters. Members of congress are furious after the house went home without voting on a relief bill for Hurricane Sandy victims. Absolutely inexcusable, absolutely indefensible. We have a moral obligation to hold this vote. On cbs this morning. The annual Polar Bear Plunge at coney island could help raise money for coverage. I lost my house, im going in the same water on new years day captioning funded by cbs welcome to cbs this morning. Im Norah Odonnell along with anthony mason. Charlie and gayle are off. No one in washington or the country seems to be happy about the outcome. Late last night the house joined the senate that passed a bill raises taxes for people earning more than 400,000 a year and families earning more than 450,000. The bill also extends longterm jobless benefits for a year and puts any significant spending cuts on hold until later in 2013. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Nancy, good morning. Reporter good morning, anthony. Well if this was high school youd say they turned in the assignment a little bit late. It was kind of a rush job, but at least they got it done. The house passed this bill with room to spare late last night. The votes were about 2 1, democratic, in favor of the bill, but that still qualifies as a big bipart son viktisan victory around here. The yeas are 257, the nays 167. Reporter with that vote the long contentious effort to prevent a middle class tax hike came to an end tuesday, though few on either side felt like celebrating. Reminds me of the jokes we used to have on lennox avenue someone stopped hitting you in the head with the hammer and youre supposed to say thank you so much for the relief. The bill before us is not the grand bargain that i and i think most of my colleagues had hoped that we would have been able to achieve. Reporter still, the bill is a milestone, finally settling a decadelong debate over the bush era tax cuts. Permanent tax relief for the middle class, more than 98 of american taxpayers, more than 97 of americas small businesses. Reporter the bill also permanently prevents the alternative minimum tax from hitting the middle class. Were witnessing something that theres been a great hunger among the American People for and that is to see finally democrats and republicans working together for the good of the united states. Bill passed the president made a point of recognizing republican leaders. In particular i want to thank the work that was done by my extraordinary Vice President , joe biden, as well as leader harry reid Speaker Boehner, nancy pelosi and Mitch Mcconnell. Reporter but many House Republicans were angry that this deal worked out by the white house and the senate did not include serious spending cuts. Im unwilling to gag down a deal, a bill theyve sent over here thats unacceptable. Reporter in the end they did not have the votes to change it and everyone acknowledged that this deal sets the stage for a big showdown over spending with a vote to raise the debt ceiling coming sometime in the next two months. The problem is we set up three more fiscal cliffs. Reporter one thing this bill doesnt address is the sequester, those acrosstheboard indiscriminate spending cuts to both defense and nondefense agencies. The bill just pushes off those cuts for two months so youre going to see congress and the white house fighting right away about how to replace the sequester with more sensible cuts once and for all. Nancy cordes thanks nancy. Shortly after the house vote president obama got on a plane to resume his christmas vacation in hawaii but first he complained to reporters about how hard it was to reach a deal and insisted it wont happen again when the debt ceiling battle comes around. I will not have another debate with this congress over whether or not they should pay the bills that theyve already wracked up through the laws that they passed. The one thing that i think hopefully in the new year well focus on is seeing if we can put a package like this together with a little bit less drama, a little less brinksmanship, not scare the heck out of folks quite as much. Major garrett is in the White House Briefing room where the president made that announcement just hours ago. Major, good morning. Good morning. Major, just to start with what was the reaction from the white house once this deal finally passed . There was many reactions but i would say the three dominant words described as this relief a sense of triumph and also a sense of regret. Let me take those in order. There was genuine relief in the building that the deal got passed. There were hours of very profound anxiety here yesterday that the house would not pass. There really was not an alternative plan if the house amended the senate bill or sent it back or killed it entirely. The president felt slightly powerless watching House Republicans sort it out, by about 6 00 last night they xwan to feel this was going to happen. Also a sense of triumph resolving the tax increase debate on his terms, largely on his terms, for the first time getting republicans and the senate and the house to vote for higher income tax rates a year and a half ago said theyd never vote for any higher taxes, they wouldnt vote for higher income tax rates and now they have. Also resolving the debate without touching entitlements in any significant bay. The regret is this is not a grand bargain and as nancy cordes indicated there are more fights to come and theyre coming very soon. The president did stand his ground to some degree and won out, no spending cuts and the extension of the tax cuts for the middle class. What do you think the white house learned from this whole episode . First of all, necessity is the mother of invention. This deal needed to get done and everyone had to participate and the other thing the president learned is that things can change very quickly. For weeks and weeks and weeks Mitch Mcconnell the Senate Republican leader had nothing to do with the negotiations or had any prospect of resolving this. Suddenly he became the key player. Similarly Vice President biden stepped off the sidelines and became the number one negotiator representing the white house with Mitch Mcconnell. The president learned that combination can work in the future and also yesterday the white house gained new appreciation for Speaker Boehner, because though theyve doubted him in the past they saw he was able to put this deal through last night and avoid the fiscal cliff both for him, Senate Democrats and this white house. All right major garrett, thank you. And before the house vote retiring republican congressman Steve Latourette of ohio said the members of the congress who voted for this must have been drunk he voted yes and he joins us from capitol hill. Congressman, thank you for joining us. This was an extension of the tax cuts for most of the middle class and yet no spending cuts. How could you vote for that . Well because its that choice that if there was no deal taxes would have gone up on every american and the speakers staed objective was to always spare as many people in the country as he could from a tax increase. At the end of the day we got whooped. Had we put simpsonbowles the grand bargain on the floor last week i got a grand total of 38 votes on the big deal and 38 votes even in the math challenged person like myself is not what you need to win. Congressman, i know you were joking when awe cused some of the senators they must have been drunk when they voted for this but i have to tell you, youve left this country with a huge hangover because now youve got about 4 trillion in debt added to the deficit, and no spending cuts. I mean again, what is wrong with congress . Well its outrageous because no one will make the difficult decisions necessary to get this thing done. This is a problem that requires a had trillion to 6 trillion fix. Quite frankly the president wont see the leadership to do it on the entitlement side weve been slow to the dance on the revenue side and just about the senators being drunk, since you mentioned it twice, my wife has yelled at me and im supposed to say that nothing good happens after midnight on new years eve. Thats right. Congressman you make the point, there were no hard decisions made here. You havent dealt with the debt ceiling. You havent dealt with the deficit or spending cuts. Yes. Isnt this legislation by procrastination . Its worse than that. If you take the president s numbers on what the extra revenue is, about 66 billion a year. It has 600 billion in new spending so it not only doesnt cut spending but increases spending by a little bit and wore rowing 1 trillion. You dont have to be a math professor, we all knew the president was going to get his way, he campaigned on raising taxes, he wanted to raise taxes he wins but now its time for people to face up to the fact its not just on the revenue side. You really have to come to grips with some of these programs that have been around since the Great Depression and figure out how to make them viable and sustainable in 2012. Two quick questions, congressman real quick. Wouldnt you have been better off if boehner accepted the first deal with obama . At least you would have gotten some spending cuts. No, the president was never serious about spending cuts and the president s spending cuts put 300 billion over ten years, thats a joke as well. This required a big deal on taxes, on spending and everybodys afraid to make the deal. Congressman a lot of people are outraged the house canceled its plan to vote on a relief package for victims of superstorm sandy. Senator schumer called it heartless. Why was there a reverse . The reverse came about basically the same i call them chuckleheads and ill call them chuckleheads again, the same chuckleheads that jet ison planned b a week ago said the 60 billion or 27 and 33 isnt paid for and because its not paid for were not going to do anything about it. I guess they dont have tvs in their homes and they havent seen the suffering on Staten Island and coastal new jersey. It doesnt make any sense to me. An emergency is an emergency. These are americans who are suffering. We should have had the vote and i talked to the speaker in the cloak room at 11 00 last night. He says hes going to take care of it quickly. I hope he does. Because this is another example of people just not getting it. Congressman Steve Latourrette thank you for being with us. The dow has gained over 200 points since the opening. Rebecca jarvis says the relief may not last that long. Good morning. The markets liked this at first. They liked the fact that we have some certainty on tax policy for the American People the consumers, which drive this economy, 70 of our Economic Growth comes from the American Consumer how we spend. The fact that we now know what kind of taxes were going to be paying in 2013 creates that certainty. However theres still a great deal of uncertainty when it comes to what happens with spending which they kick down the road theyll be dealing with that and what happens with our 16. 4 trillion debt . Thats another debate thats coming in washington and there are people who are saying it could be as vitriolic if not more so than the one we just saw. Why is the market responding positively when a lot of people see this as a bad deal that didnt deal with some of the big issues spending and our deficits . Theres an irrationality in the market and short term thinking in the market. We saw this throughout the deal. If it looks like there might be a deal all of a sudden the market rallied. If it looked like the deal was falling apart, the market fell apart. The market isnt purely rational and also reactionary at this moment in time. Thats what were seeing. Longer term down the road what people on wall street are discussing theyre not giving each other high fives. Investors are saying theres more to come and we have to look at what happens to companies and what happens to Government Agencies once these spending cuts actually do take effect or once theyre discussed. Rebecca jarvis thanks. To find out specifically what the fiscal cliff agreement will mean for your taxes go to our website cbsnews. Com. Here in new york secretary of state Hillary Clinton is still in the hospital but her doctors say shes making excellent progress in recovering from a blood clot that is inside her skull. Margaret brennan is outside New York Presbyterian Hospital in northern manhattan. Margaret, what are they saying about secretary clintons status right now . Reporter good morning, norah. Secretary clinton is still undergoing treatment for that blood clot between her brain and her skull. Her spokesperson says that he will share new information when there is something to update. When clinton was hospitalized on sunday, that same spokesperson said that doctors would monitor her for 48 hours. We are now beyond that window but doctors tell cbs it often takes more than two days to establish the exact dosage of blood thinner. It can take weeks, even months to dissolve the clot and typically it can take up to six months for full recovery but it doesnt require hospitalization. So is there any talk about when she might return to d. C. . Reporter it isnt clear. Secretary clinton is expected to step down at the end of the month, once a replacement is confirmed. Senate staffers tell cbs that there is no word yet on when those confirmation hearings will begin to approve john kerry to be the next secretary of state.

Officials in alaska say calmer weather may allow the coast guard to inspect the Shell Oil Rig that ran aground monday. They say there are no signs that it is leaking.

Reporter aground on a rocky shoreline, shells 290 million drill barge is at the mercy of the merciless waves, some close to 50 feet high. Although all 18 crew members were evacuated by the u. S. Coast guard, what remains, more than 160,000 gallons of fuel and oil stored in her hull and that has captain paul meyler worried.

As a precaution as many as 500 people are staging equipment up and down the coast to help contain and clean up any leak or spill. Theres always the threat this vessel is on the rocks, and there are still very heavy seas so thats why were moving with all the response equipment and preparing. Reporter the kulluk doesnt have its own propulsion. It was being towed to seattle for routine maintenance when it broke loose from its tug in a massive storm.

It was 39 degrees in new york yesterday. Thats right, there you are right there, in the blue trunks . That would be me, yes, trained for months for that. All right, also here in new york theres a very unusual criminal case that is bringing back memories of the 1970s, a man and a woman from privileged backgrounds were arrested over the weekend. Police say they found weapons and bombmaking materials inside their apartment. Seth doane is here with that story. Good morning to you norah. The suspects have pedigrees youd expect of children from new yorks elite. Morgan gliedman went to dalton school, nyu and the art school of chicago. Her boyfriend aaron green claims to have gone to harvard. When they were arrested inside their apartment saturday police found a container of the powerful explosive hmtd in their living room, forcing the evacuation of their neighbors. Hmtd was the same explosive believed to have been used during the 2005 london bombings. Its extremely potent and one of the reasons why its so appealing for terrorists to use because essentially they can get all the ingredients for this at local hardware stores. The 27yearold gliedman is the daughter of a prominent Real Estate Agent and top rated new york oncologist. She was also nine months pregnant at the time of her arrest this weekend and gave birth to a baby girl soon afterwards. Cbs news has learned the Police Seized two shotguns a flare launcher, nine highcapacity rifle magazines, various handwritten notebooks containing formulas literature on how to make boobytraps and homemade weapons. The New York Post reported green was a member of the occupy wall Street Movement but the group has denied this. The assumption is that the vast majority of the people there were Peaceful Protesters but there was a more radical fringe element to the group and it was a concern at some point they might turn to violence if they werent accomplishing their political aims. Reporter the arrests reminiscent of other children of privilege, whose lives somehow went awry. Who could forget the pictures of newspaper heiress patty hurst joining her kidnappers in a 1974 bank robbery and in 1970 just two blocks from where gliedman and green were arrested a bomb being assembled by the weather undergrounds, a radical group, exploded killing three people and destroying the brownstone where they were staying. Gliedman and green have prior drug arrests. Each have been charged with two counts of criminal possession of a we bon. Green is due back in court on friday. Gliedman couldnt be arraigned this week while she was in labor, will make her first appearance next week. Seth they also found weird literature in the house, too, right . We got this list here its kind of surprising improvised and modified firearms doityourself submachine gun, terrorist encyclopedia homework shop gun, not typical reading for greenwich village. Not something you examine the to read while pregnant. Neighbors and relatives knew them as excited about having this child and say they were surprised. Seth doane, thank you. This morning the federal Aviation Administration is ordering more than 100 older boeing 737s to be checked for cracks or holes in the fuselage. Most of the planes are flown by southwest airlines. Cbs news travel editor Peter Greenburg is with us. Good morning. Reporter good morning, anthony. What exactly is the faa ordering and whats prompted them to do this in. Lets go back to history. The first wakeup call in 19 8, the Aloha Airlines the Flight Attendant sucked to her death, seven injuries weve got to look at the way the planes are made because theyre high cycle planes. They fly a lot of takeoffs and landings. Cycle is a takeoff and landing. Every time you cycle the plane you are pressurizing the fuselage and depressurizing and that can lead to petite cracks and rupture in the skin. The baltimore to nashville, made an Emergency Landing in 2009 and 2011, another southwest between phoenix and sacramento made an Emergency Landing in yuma. Theyre calling for more repetitive inspections, not just visual but electromagnetic inspections because if we dont get the fatigue cracks early enough they could lead to cracking and a cracking of the fuselage. Youre basically saying these high cycle aircrafts are put under more stress and there are are more vulnerable . Exactly if theyre not properly inspected. For example a 737 is not unusual for a plane to do seven or eight takeoffs and landings a day. The 747 may do one or two. It means you have to do more inspections and more frequently to catch the problems early. Every plane in its history will develop these cracks. They are not by nature necessarily dangerous unless you dont treat them. Peter is as a frequent flyer should i be worried . No, this is not the only directive the faa issued. The 737 is the most popular plane ever built, more than 10,000 of them and boeing manufactured them at the rate of 30 a month. Not a problem. 5 million in inspections and 2 million to do the repairs thats pocket change considering the planes out there. The real key is not just the planes in this country, the planes flying around the world 737s not part of this directive. Its interesting to note the plane involved in the 2009 Emergency Landing had 42,000 flights on it. Thats a lot. Youre talking about a lot of mileage on these guys. A lot of mileage. Once again there are still dc3s id get on tomorrow. Its not a question of the age of the plane its the cycles versus the inspection regime and thats what the faa is asking for, more repetitive inspections and i think theyre right. Peter greenberg happy new year to you. And happy new year to you guys. Would you let strangers live in your house for 1 a month .

Congress finally backs away from the fiscal cliff but at what cost .

This morning well talk with the ceo of Weight Watchers. But first heres a look at todays eye opener at 8 00. If this was high school, youd say they turned in the assignment a little bit late. It was kind of a rush job, but at least they got it done. Congress has done what they needed to do to avoid the fiscal cliff, but no one in washington or the country seems to be happy by the final outcome. He campaigned on raising taxes. He won on raising taxes. He wins. This is not the grand bargain. There are more fights to come and theyre coming pretty soon. There havent been spending cuts. Isnt this legislation by procrastination . Its worse than that. Secretary clinton is still in the hospital recovering from whe shp e wa whes hn she was hospitalized on sunday her spokesperson said she would be monitored by 48 hours. Were now beyond that window. In new york theres this very unusual criminal case thats bringing back memories of the 1970s. The suspects had pedigrees you wouldnt expect of new yorks elite.

The fiscal cliff is history pfor for now after Congress Approved a a not cut spending. There were some last minute eff rtspeff byorts by House Republicans to change the bill without onethird of them ended up vot ng pvotyes. Ing yes. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Good morning. Repp orterepor grterood gomornod ming. Orning. Pwe now we nfinaow flly inalknowly k witnow h with certainty whos going to be keeping their bushera tax cuts. The answer, just about everybody. The cuts were extended for all Household Income under 400,000 under 450 for families. The bill permanently prevents the alternative tax from hitting middle class families and ex tendexteed tndedhe the unemployment for a couple mill jobless americans. What this bill doesnt do is deal with the spending side of the fiscal cliff. That sequester, the package of across the board spending cuts thats supposed to kick in at the beginning the year to both defense and nondefense related agencies. The negotiators were only able to come up with a plan to push that sequester off for a couple of months and that means, norah, that a fight is going to start right away between congress and the white house over how to come up with a package of sensible cuts to replace that sequester. Nancy, you mentioned that the sequester was not dealt with. It also didnt deal with the debt ceiling which needs to be dealt with in the next couple of months. So what happens now . Is there still hope for grand bargain or is that done . Reporter well, that grand bargain the president had been working out with Speaker Boehner was supposed to include raising the debt ceiling. That grand bargain fell apart and now congress is going to have to vote in pretty short order to raise it and republicans are already saying theyre not going to do that unless they get some big spending cuts in return. You heard the president say repeatedly hes not going to negotiate over this again. He doesnt want to see the nations credit downgraded. He wants congress to just pass it right away, but he doesnt control congress. Pso if hso ie waf hents wanreputs rblicepubans licato ns to vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling, he may have to negotiate with them, norah. Nancy cordes. Thanks, cordes. Vice President Joe Biden is getting much of the credit from both republicans and democrats for nailing down the deal. The message is biden is back. Good morning. Reporter its a fresh start for joe biden, no question about it. Hes been the chief negotiator with congress on the fiscal cliff. That was a good thing for biden after his foot in the mouth style often got him in trouble wi thwith the boss in 2012. But last night all was forgiven. I want to thank the work that was done by my extraordinary v ce respvicidee president a president ial ata boy. Happy new year. The white house sent the Vice President to the capital twice to pto convince skeptical democrats that the fiscal deal was a good one. He prehe psentreseed hntedimse himlf aselfs th as e mathe n man who could deliver. Mitch mcconnell, the senates Top Republican ditched harry prei d, hreidis c, hiounts coerpauntert arparcrost acs throsse the aisle, and asked to negotiate exclusively with biden.

Reporter but he rebounded with a strong debate performance in october a week after the president s disappointing showing in september. With all due respect, thats a bunch of malarkey. Reporter the white house has always used the chatty folksy Vice President as a messenger to the middle cass. But the friendships that he bu capitol hill to get t his deal. So after this, the white house wont likely begrudge him a few more verbal gaffes. All right. Bill plante, great reporting. Thank you.

Th atsthat ahes aad oheadn c on bs tcbshis this morning. Ed nearly 10,000 deaths in the u. S. Last year. Well look at the debate over new technology designed to prevent drunk drivers from starting their engines. Thats ahead on cbs this morning. Every day. Millions of americans swear theyre going to drop some pounds this year. They also said that last year and the year before. The ceo of Weight Watchers has been watching his own weight for many years. Pdav id kdaviirchd kihoffrchh saioff d fosaidrget for get about willpower, just get smarter. Well talk about obesity and how hard it is to overcome next on cbs this morning. Announcer this portion of cbs this morning sponsored by lifestyle lift. Find out how you can light up your life. Guessing you never tried. A man in australia says this 220pound yes, 220pound hamburger does the trick. It has all the usual fixings including eggs bacon and barbecued chicken. Whats the random chicken in between. Im like how does the chicken get in there . Thats not helpful. Thats not helpful. All right. Losing weight is number one on the list of new years resolutions and David Kirchhoff knows how hard it is to keep that vow. The president and ceo of Weight Watchers had to do it himself. He turned his own struggle into a Book Weight Loss boss. That burger looks like 12,000 points. Exactly. The point system. I have to show everybody too. Youve got this new book out. But also youre not just the president we were joking. Youre also a client. This is you before. You were a little bit heavier. We can see it certainly in your face, but nice cat and nice sweater there. Poor cat. Cat sweater. How did you lose weight . By going to Weight Watchers. I joined as an employee. I started going to meetings because i thought i should learn more about it and this very surprising thing happened which is my hecht changed in front of me. I did the program like a lot of people do the program. It took me nine years to get to my goal weight. Really . How much did you lose . 40 pounds. But ive kept my weight off for four years which has frankly been the more important part of my story which i is think the get the people out of the dieting mindset and more into the mindset of making permanent changes in terms of lifestyle and health. You say willpower is largely overrated. It is. I mean its not enough. The problem is what we know about our brains and our bodies is were wired to consume. Its a survival mechanism. Yet were surrounded by 600 more calories in the food system per person today than in 1970. Were surrounded by junk food. Were responding to it. Were eating and lo and behold we have an obesity epidemic and this knowing of somehow being Strong Enough to resist temptation is one thats completely overrated. Youre much better off learning how to rewire your own personal environment. Can i Say Something what i think about dieting. Measure it achieve it. Weight watchers u you mesh with points others use online apps. Its a simple formula. How many calories you put in how many you burn. It is and it isnt. A calories not a calorie. If you try to lose weight losing only half a doughnut, thats a tough way to go because youre going to feel miserable and deprived. The trick is not measuring calories but using a system guiding you toward the stuff you know youre supposed to eat, fruits vegetables legumes and whoa grains. The value of tracking is it makes you more mindful of what youre doing. So its less about managing a perfectly challenged equation but nudging yourself. The cdc says two out of three americans are overweight. Yep. You say it has the toobt crush the life out of our weight loss. Should the government be legislating portions health care . Theres balance in all of these things. Obviously personal responsibility plays a huge role in deal with a Lifestyle Health issue such as obesity, but, for example, were big supporters of nutritional labeling on menu boards because giving People Better information allows them to make better choices. I think what the mayor recognized was theres an arms race going on between the consumer valuing value over massive quantity and Movie Theaters and restaurants responding to that. You cant get a cup in a Movie Theater thats less than 32 ounces. Who drinks 32 ounces . Its kind of crazy. You may have to put your Household Budget on a diet this year. Rebecca jarvis will help you plan for that when cbs this morning returns. Your local news is next.

This is the last day of operations for a San Francisco museum before it moves. The exploratorium closes for good at the end of the business day at its location near the palace of fine arts. The museum is scheduled to reopen at its new location along the embarcadero april 17th. And all lanes of traffic are open on a busy street in hayward following a water main break at jackson and santa clara streets around 3 30 this morning. Public works crews are still trying to figure out what caused it. Well have a check of your traffic and weather coming up. Good morning. Lets head to the bay bridge toll plaza right now where traffic is very light in fact an easy morning so far for most. Roads. No delays into San Francisco. And youre clear once you get into San Francisco along the 101 and central freeway. Elsewhere westbound 580 at 680 an accident clearing out of the right lane. Slight backups as you make the connector at the dublin interchange but overall not bad. East of there through the altamont pass, still looking about a 21minute ride to go westbound 580 out of tracy into livermore. Eastshore freeway westbound we had an earlier accident looks like near berkeley. That is now cleared. You can see traffic free flowing all the way towards the bay bridge there and no delays on the Golden Gate Bridge. Youre clear into San Francisco. And 880 though a little slow northbound through oakland. A lot of sunshine around the bay area. We are going to need every bit of it a very cold start to the day out there right now, a lot of frost even inside the bay. A very cold morning outside a lot of those temperatures dropping down into the 20s in the north bay valleys. 27 right now in santa rosa, 28 in the napa valley, 30 in concord and 31 degrees in livermore. A lot of 30s even inside the bay. So a frosty start. By the afternoon, well thaw out. Lots of sunshine all day long. Still staying cool in am so of the east bay valleys only in the low 50s there, highs 57 in san jose. About 53 in San Francisco. And 56 in santa rosa. Next few days, chilly mornings, fairly mild by day. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Just because congress made a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff doesnt mean everythings okay. Congress will still have to fight over spending cuts and most taxpayers will still see their taxes go up. Thats just one thing to consider when you plan for 2013. Rebecca jarvis is back to show you how to deal with the changes on wall street and in washington. Good morning again. Good morning again. The bottom line is were all going to be paying more. Most people are yes. 77 of americans are going to see their taxes rise and thats in part because of the payroll tax which was cut to help avert some of the recessions damage. That is going up on everyone. So now its 6. 2 instead of 4. 2 . The average family say you make between 50,000 and 70,000. Youre going to see your taxes go up 10,000. If youre making 100 to 200,000 thats going to see 1,000 to 2,000 increase there. What about the Retirement Savings . It should be from you. It should be from you. Continue to see how to make more changes personally that can put more money in the bank that can plan more for your own future because ultimately when you look at where things are protected to be cut on the spending cuts think about medicare, i think about the entitlement programs think about Social Security. Those are areas that havent been discussed formally yet. They havent been made into a deal but they very likely could be made into a deal and the only way to protect yourself is to save. Not enough people are thinking about this. Just 42 of americans have thought about it. Crunch the numbers. You need about 40 or Social Security replaces just about 40 of your income when youre actually in retirement. 60 is going to be coming from you at least. Thats a big number. I mean so basically how should we be saving then at this point . The number one thing that you can do at yourself is a roth i. R. A. And contributions to your 401 k . Heres why. With a roth i. R. A. You can take it out without paying taxes on it. Its the only retirement vehicle that youre not going to be pays taxes on whatever the gains are. Thats only for some income levels. Some. But most people can max it out this year with 5,000 if youre over 50 years old you can put 6,000 in and it can still apply to the 2012 tax year as long as you put that money in bf april 15th. So its very important to do that. You could do it now before april 15 and after april 15 contribute another 5,000 or 6,000 if youre over 50 years old. Its very important. The 401 k especially if your employer has a match, you want to do that. If of your employer came to you and said would you like a 3 raise, you wouldnt turn it down. Thats what the match looks like. Its the free money. Give me the money. Show me the money, baby. What about the stock market in all this . Weve had so many dips and turns here with all this concerns about the fiscal cliff and there are going to be more of these. Should we be investing in the market . Ultimately the market is what returns more than most other savings vehicles. Last year with all the dips and turns the s p 500 still managed to return 13. 4 . On average if you look at it historically, the s p 500 returns between 5 and 7 . And if you look at lets say you have a normal savings account or checking account. If youve looked at that lately, youre not getting paid much to keep your money there stagnant in the bank. Im not saying to take all of your money out of the bank and put it in the stock kkt but ultimately you want to get paid for the money you set aside and youre going to get paid in general more in the stock market than if you leave it in the bank account where Interest Rates are zero and the Federal Reserve says theyre going to remain there for some time to come. Rebecca jarvis making us smarter again. Thank you. And this wont be available in 2013 but a Massachusetts Company is working on new technology to keep drunk drivers off the road. This morning Mark Strassmann looks at a couple. You never get over the loss of a child, your son. Its the worst thing you could ever go through. Meredith and matt east ridge were driving home in october 2010 when another car speed 1g 00 Miles Per Hour hit them head on. They both were critically hurt. Meredith six months pregnant lost their baby son. I think about him every day and think about, you know how old he would be and what he would be doing. The family you would have had. Right. David huffman drove the other car. Surveillance video from the charlotte bar showed he had the equivalent of 15 drinks in two hours. He stumbled outside and three minutes later was killed when his car crashed into the east eastridges. Its something that could have been presented. This is 100 preventable. Reporter outside boston a Company Called kin qin qinetiq is coming up with a plan. Wevenary ohhed it down to two different technologies. One is breathbased one is touchbased. Ideally if someones drunk behind the wheel, the car will not start. It will not move. It sends an infrared light into the fingertip. It measures the tissues alcohol content or a sensor near the Steering Wheel can test a drivers breath. In a half second it reads whether the drivers alcohol count is above. 08, the National Legal limit. Zaouks team is still working through every driver scenario. So it could sense whether the person touching the button is sitting the in drivers seat. Or somebody else is trying to reach and touch the button. It could be ready by the end of the decade. This is the single best opportunity we have to prevent 10,000 people from dying a year. Its the equivalent of a seat belt of our generation. Reporter but the effect knollgy is opposed by the american beverage institute. A Group Representing 8,000 restaurants. They worry about inaccurate sensors which could eliminate a persons ability to have glass of wine at duaner a beer at ball game or a Champagne Toast at a wedding and drive home. Huffmans autopsy shows he was three times the legal limit. There were multiple times it could have been prevented. If youre over that limit, that car shouldnt work. Since their accident the eatridges have had a daughter, sloan, and won a settlement against the bar worth 1. 7 million. Both say they would give back every penny for one more day with the son they lost. For cbs this morning, Mark Strassmann, charlotte. She became a powerleful sports agent. He said and a fake. They come back the other side. Reverse action. A touchdown stanford beat wisconsin, 2014 yesterday in the rose bowl one of six College Bowl Games on new years day. Stanford and wisconsin will earn 20 million for their athletic conferences. The players on the field wont see any of that money and dr. Jerry argovitz says that needs to change. His new memoir is super agent, the one book the nfl and nba dont want you to read. Good morning. Good morning. They dont want you to read it because you compare them to the mafia and you say its like two crime families cooperating. Yes, i do. Why . Well they really have a cartel and they put themselves together. Theyre the brightest, smartest people youve ever been around when you think about the ncaa and what theyve done. That i have a 17yearold, 18yearold young man coming out of high school. Most of these kids their whole desire is to go play football and sports. A lot of them are poor. Exactly. A majority are africanamerican kids. They come from singlefamily households. They come from economic disadvantages. Most of these kids come the majority come from no father figure. By the ncaa rules and standards and regulations these kids arent allowed to have an agent to tell them what the contract says. They sign a grant and aid. To me thats a contract. No vice. Oh, yeah they can hire a lawyer. I dont know many poor families that can afford 2,000 to read a contract and the contract is so vague i cant even understand it, so theres no way a 17yearold, 189yearold kid can understand it. So how would you change it . Do you think players should be paid and should they be allowed to have agents . I think the only way that this can be corrected, the nfl has a Players Association, the n nba has Players Association and the kids should have their own independent association bargaining for them. A that point it can be fair and regulated into the system. Well what would help these players then if they had sump an association. I mean clearly these universities are making a lot of money off these players. Universities and ncaa is a multibilliondollar organization, taxfree. And if these kids have representation, then theyll have an opportunity to level the playing field. What about the flip side of the argument theyre getting a great education that they might not ordinarily get, they get into schools they probably wouldnt get into theyre part of a top, you know school where they get uniforms they get training, they can go in the nfl. What about that, what the university gives them . Ill tell you what. What do you think when you hear a full ride . What does that mean to you . When you hear a player has a full ride what does that mean to you . Full tuition. You dont have to pay for things. Full books and all that kind of stuff. Let me tell you what that really means. These players are given a oneyear scholarship. Each year they have to make the team, each year they have to pass the fiscal and each year they have to make the grades so its the schools option whether they renew the scholarship or dont renew the scholarship. The injuries these kids are make. The reason they call it the amateurs because they dont want to pay them and they cant pay them because theyre amateurs. The real myth is if they play the payers they become employees. Then they lose the taxfree status and they also have to furnish work mans compensation. As you point out a star Football Player in a division i school can be 800,000 to 1 million in earned revenue. What do you pay them . Do you give them a little fee the players get nothing. Theyveer and nothing as far as what the schools are making. The players have to have representation, and at that point all these things can be cleared up. You know when you sit down to try to say how much were going to give u, how much moneywise. The bottom line is you thank should get a share. First of all, they have to get paid. How can you be a 17yearold, 18yearold, 19yearold young man and go to school and account cant work. They wont let you not have a job. You have no money, no income. Its impossible to survive in that environment. Dr. Argovitz thank you for joining us. Congrats on the book. Thank you. Everyone from bob dylan and john mayer are in favor of the martin guitars.

Any musician will tell you if you want to create a great sound, you have to have a fine instrument. For nearly 180 years some of the world east best guitar has been made by a company thats been in one family for seven generations. We went for a tour. Reporter the barn red building in nazareth, pennsylvania, is a musicians mecca. For guitar lovers a visit here is almost a religious experience. Because since 1839 this is where martin guitars have been made. This is the point at which we fit the neck with the compound dovetail joint in the body. This is something weve done from the beginning. Reporter chris martin, the great, great, great grandson of a grandfather who started it presides over the Acoustic Guitars in the united states. How many guitars do you make here . Here about 50,000. Reporter wow. Yeah. Reporter martin may be the most coveted Acoustic Guitar on the planet. Bob dylan plays a martin. So does john mayer, steven stils, and sting. Theres something about a martin guitar thats hard to beat and i knew when i picked one up, i wanted one reporter country star Dierks Bentley owns five martins and also endorses a custom model. It attaches to the herringbone with this kind of red, white, and blue inlay which i think is really cool that they did and proud to have my name on it. Reporter the company has been family owned for six generations. This is truly a family story, isnt it . Yes, very much so. C. S. Martin started in 1933. Six years later he moved to the pennsylvania countryside where the Martin Guitar Company began to grow into what is now a 200,000squarefoot factory. What made it grow . Folk music. Reporter martin suddenly found itself with four years worth of back orders. The sales boom continued until the 70s. When it came to a rather abrupt halt thanks to disco. You should be dancing yeah which was no good for anyone who made live music. Thats when we struggled. We went from producing over 20,000 guitars to 3,000. Reporter in the depth of that slump, chris martin then 31 succeeded. You essentially had to rescue the company. I tried not to think about it. I tried not to think about the dire consequences. I just it it couldnt happen. Reporter so martin went back to basics. What i said to my colleagues was if were only going to sell 3,000 guitars, lets make them the best 3,000 guitars the world has ever seen, and that resonated with them because we were all kind of down in the dumps. Reporter but the company rallied. And when mtv launched its unplugged series musicians rediscovered Acoustic Guitars and business started booming again. The nazareth plan now has more than 500 employees like milton. How long . Im in my 43rd year. Reporter 43. And you dad worked here . Oh yes, and my two sons. Reporter martin also has a plant in mexico. Did you imagine you would come back . I never imagined it would be this popular worldwide. Reporter what do you attribute it to . I really think that musicians, they continue to rediscover just how cool it is to take a finely made wooden box with metal strings on it and hold it against their body and feel it vibrate. I think they find something very inspiry in that. It is a really cool place and if youre passing through nazareth, pennsylvania, you can take a tour and its great story. Im glad the guitar came back after those evil years. Of disco in which some participated and we wont talk about it. Lets pause. What do you mean . No, no no. Another day. Thats another day, another story. That does it for us today. Up next your local news. Well see you tomorrow on cbs this morning. Have a good one. Captions by vitac www. Vitac.
