pulled out pepper spray and took aim at the crowd. >> i gues she wanted everybody to back off, so she came out with her pepper spray. >> reporter: officials called the woman's behavior competitive shopping. this video on youtube shows customers recovering just moments after the incident. speaking by phone, shopper carmen johnson said she waited in line behind the woman for two hours. >> it was crazy. i mean, we were trying to get games for xbox 360 when the crowd was just rushing in, and the shopper in front of me turns around and starts spraying everybody. >> reporter: johnson told knbc that the woman with two kids with her had even bragged about carrying the pepper spray. >> she did mention a couple of times, i got pepper spray, so i already knew who had done it. >> reporter: at least 20 were treated for minor injuries. >> it could have been a lot worse. with as many people as they had inside, that's when you start to

get people getting trampled and a stampede inside. >> reporter: three years ago black friday turned deadly when a worker at a new york store was crushed to death in a stampede. back in los angeles one young woman says she's learned her lesson. >> i won't be coming back. i don't want to do this anymore. it wasn't worth it. it's not worth the deals. >> reporter: now, police may have called it competitive shopping, but they are also calling it a potential crime. the woman fled the scene, but savannah, this morning they are still looking for her. >> i bet they are. kristen dahlgren in los angeles. thank you. let's hope things are calmer in other stores nationwide. courtney regan is checking out the black friday rush at the green shopping center in dayton, ohio, this morning. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. happy belated thanksgiving, savannah. you know, while millions of americans maybe digesting the thanksgiving dinner, millions more have been shopping, some for as many as ten hours already, leading retailers with a new holiday mantra, if you

open your doors, they will come. and we're off. that's right. the holiday se right. the holiday season is officially under way. millions are snapping up door buster black friday specials. >> it hasn't been too bad. the weather has been really nice so it's bearable. >> this is my first time, probably my last time but got to do it once. >> reporter: toys are us opened at 9:00 p.m. thursday followed by walmart at 10:00, target, kohls and macy's at midnight. from coast to coast, shoppers battled the elements. >> energy drink. keep you guys awake. >> reporter: lining store fronts, camping out for >> 42-inch plasma tv ,$199. they have a samsung laptop for $299. >> reporter: while shoppers crowd stores, not even greets these early opens with holiday cheer. a petition by one target

employee argues opening stores at midnight is anti-family and that petition garnered more than 198,000 signatures, but target says its consumers prefer the early start time. macy's ceo says the midnight opening hasn't been an issue for their 78,000 seasonal hires. >> we've checked with our employees and so far we haven't had the same push-back. >> reporter: maybe that's because those seasonal hires are just happy to have a job. with unemployment at 9% and a sluggish economy, this holiday season is a make-or-break for many retailers. >> welcome to walmart. >> reporter: but perhaps a silver lining. the national retail federation estimates 152 million shoppers will hit stores this is weekend. that's up 10% from last year. yes, even with an economy on edge, retail analysts agree that consumers will shop and will spend.

>> we love the holidays. we love to scream about them, but we love to be out there and rub elbow to elbow fighting for that last sweater that's on sale. >> reporter: what's the number one trend this holiday stone? strategy. it's estimated that 65% of shoppers will have planned their purchases before they leave home using online tools from social media to apps to price comparison websites. they know what they want and at what price. now, it's up to the retailers to meet those expectations. savannah? >> some experienced shoppers for sure. courtney reagan in dayton this morning. thank you. brian dunn is the ceo of best buy in eden prairie, minnesota. thank you for being with us. >> good morning. >> i hear you've been out at the stores all night. best buy opened at midnight. give us a report from the front lines. what are the crowds like that you're seeing? >> the crowds have been terrific. i've been in stores all night, and what we're finding is our

customers do like this early opening. and i got to tell you, our employees have answered the bell in a huge way. what i see are customers that are having a good time spending plenty of money and employees that are there having a great time taking care of them. we're very pleased. >> i have to ask you about it, though, because you opened earlier than ever this year at midnight. as you well know, other retailers opened on thanksgiving itself, and some people are saying wait a minute. is nothing sacred? is there not one day in the whole year that's just about family and friends and food? have we gone too far? what would your response be? >> i'll tell you what my response is. we did not plan to open at midnight. the market moved to midnight, so we needed to make that move. and i'll tell you, the consumers are out there in big numbers. they're in line to come into the stores, and it's our job to be where the consumer needs us to be, whether that's online, on their phones, or opening up at midnight or 12:01 on black

friday. we need to be where the customer needs us to be. >> the latest figures show that about 10% more people than last year will be shopping this weekend, but other figures say that people expect to spend a little bit less than they did during the last holiday season. as somebody who is on the front lines of the economy, what's your view of how the economy is doing, especially considering that two-thirds of it is consumer-driven? >> well, i'll tell you what, it's too early to sort of break out the numbers from what we've seen last night and this morning as we sort of have the gateway to the holiday season, but we are very enthusiastic about the crowds we've seen, and consumers are definitely out spending this evening. we view black friday as at gateway to the holidays so we're very enthusiastic about what we're seeing. >> you're the expert, but as i understand it, the rule of retail is get them in the stores, and they'll buy other stuff they didn't plan to buy. are you seeing that, or are

people being very directed about coming in, getting the deal and then leaving? >> well, and again, these are anecdotes from what i saw as i was visiting stores this evening. we see carts with multiple items in it, and that's always a good sign. but we have great values throughout our store, and that's very much by design. we know it's important to show consumers great value this holiday season, and we're very focused on doing just that. >> brian dunn, ceo of best buy, thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank you, savannah. let's get a check of some other stories this morning. tamryn hall is at the news desk in for natalie. good morning. demonstrators are filling the center of egypt's capital demanding an immediate transfer of power. at least five americans have been caught up in the chaos. nbc is in cairo for us. good morning, amin. >> reporter: good morning, tamryn. after a week of deadly clashes, today protesters are calling for a million-man protest taking place behind me in tahrir.

the question really is, how long will that calm last for? after days of deadly clashes between security forces and protesters, a shaky truce seems to be sticking, but demonstrators not giving up their demand that the military hand over power to a civilian government immediately. it's the military, they say, who is responsible for this recent violence in which dozens were killed and hundreds injured and many arrested. among those detained in this week's fighting were five americans, including award winning egyptian american filmmaker. >> my camera got taken. my eyepiece got broken by him. he called me a spy. >> and a prominent american egyptian activist who was arrested told me of her horrifying deal. >> at least four or five beat me quite viciously with their stick, broke my right hand and left arm. they subjected to to the most horrendous sexual assaults. >> reporter: good news for three

american students arrested and accused of attacking security forces. they were ordered freed by a judge on thanksgiving day. now, despite mounting international pressure including that from the united states government, the military says it will not take its order from the protesters, saying the only way to democracy will be through parliamentary elections scheduled for this monday on time. back to you. >> thank you very much. chicago police have arrested a suspected gunman in last night's deadly shooting of a woman inside a hospital parking garage. they say the suspect is a hospital employee. investigators at the scene of the small plane crash in arizona wednesday that killed six people on their way to a thanksgiving get-together. officials say the pilot, who just picked up his three children, gave no sign of distress. former chicago first lady maggie daley is being remembered as a woman of forgiveness.

she passed away on thanksgiving after a long battle with breast cancer. she was 68. there was more than turkey on the menu at one los angeles help center. everyone who dropped by on thursday received a dollar bill in memory of father maurice chase, who passed away last week. for two decades father dollar used donations from celebrities to hand out piles of singles every sunday and even on holidays. back to carl and savanna and maria. a nice way to remember him. >> mr. roker is enjoying the morning off. we have maria here. >> big high pressure across the west that we see big-time unsettled weather. lots of winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories from the casntde iso parts of idaho and western montana. we c ald iee s foot of snow in higher elevations. the snow underee way right now , toug dtrerelavefinitely along with that gusty wind in excess of 40 miles per hour. speaking of winds, this storm

system producing winds potentially over 60 miles per hour. most of the plains through this evening and tomorrow morning. that's a look at the weather across the country. here's a look at what you can ex and we're seeing a gloomy start to the morning. we had low clouds. the radar has been picking up right rain. the peninsula into parts of the south bay. we'll get to partly cloudy skies this afternoon. highs in the low 60s. the weekend, a little warmer, but look out for the patchy, dense fog that will be setting up in the east bay valley over the next few mornings. look at the nation's weather. >> that's a look at the nation's weather. carl, back to you. >> now to the penn state sex scandal. disgraced former football coach jerry sandusky has surfaced in public as questions emerge about the role the pennsylvania governor played in the investigation. jay gray is on the state college campus with the latest. jay, good morning. >> reporter: good morning to

you, carl. yeah, there are more allegations against jerry sandusky and now more questions about why the man who may have known as much as any one about the grand jury investigation chose to remain silent. thanksgiving provides two rare looks at jerry sandusky. in the morning with his dog, then later with his wife dottie, the first time in more than a week the couple seen together and on the heels of allegations he sexually abused a member of their family. sandusky's attorney confirms a report in a local newspaper that one of two new accusers is a relative and goes on to say, quote, the allegations are ridiculous and unfounded. as the questions about sandusky intensify, they are also growing louder when it comes to pennsylvania governor tom corbett's role in this. >> i gave thought to it on a constant basis. we -- are very careful.

>> reporter: some say too careful. corbett was the attorney general during the grand jury investigation three years ago and also a member of the penn state board of trustees but several board members say he never discussed the investigation during meetings. >> we had to be very careful not to tip where this investigation was going. >> reporter: some legal observers say a closer look at the federal grand jury manual indicates he could have suggested that trustees take a closer look at sandusky. >> i think tom corbett in 2002 didn't do the complete investigation so i think now he is trying to cooperate, to instigate, to do whatever he can to get the truth out and truth revealed. >> reporter: ed rendell was governor of pennsylvania. >> he knows what was going on, he knows the challenges that his office was facing. >> reporter: but argues the blame doesn't stop at the state house. >> there's no question that

everyone in this process, from the penn state officials to even my good friend joe paterno to everyone in this process didn't act swiftly enough, didn't act courageously enough. >> reporter: a courage this campus and community will need as they continue to try to work through the scandal. and the next public step will come tomorrow when the nittany lion football team takes on the badgers in wisconsin. if they win that game, they will play for the big ten championship and the trophy that used to bear joe paterno's name. carl. >> jay gray, thank you for that. it's 7:17. again here is savannah. >> thank you. how far should a reporter go to get a story? even more celebrities have now testified at a hearing in britain's tabloid phone hacking scandal. michelle kosinski is in london with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: it is bad press behavior they are hearing about. jaw dropping stories coming from

celebrities. no, it's not always easy to feel sorry for superstars and billionaires but their accounts make you feel some of the frustration and helplessness in trying to stop this stuff. how low will tabloids go? well, stop the presses. because now in britain, it's the paper's own scandalous deeds that have celebrities lining up to tell all. >> it's really terrifying running down a dark street with ten big men chasing me. and the fact that they had cameras in their hands that was legal. >> reporter: sienna miller said photographers would spit at her for reaction. then at a charity event for sick children. >> there was a sick child i was playing with, in a corner of the room. who was pretending to shoot me. i was pretending to die. we were playing a game and somebody took a photograph in the mirror cut the boy out of the photograph and said that i was drunk. but by that point the damage is

done. >> reporter: then police showed her the evidence that news of the world hacked her voice mail. >> all of my telephone numbers, the access numbers, pin numbers, my passwords, my e-mail that was used to hack my e-mail in 2008. >> reporter: others like harry potter author. >> such a sense of invasion. it's difficult to explain to people who haven't experienced it what that feels like. the twists. you wonder what do they want? what do they think they have got. >> help us reach our goal. >> almost reads like a weird novel. the photos of her kids, she found a note from a reporter in her daughter's book bag. a stolen copy of book five, ran stories saying her child revealed the ending to seven.

and the bad guy was based on her ex-husband. >> bring him to me. >> that misinformation caused real emotional hurt. >> which still affects these big stars, saying something should change. and they left, the flash bulbs. >> reporter: there are privacy laws and restrictions here, but you know, it can be a fine line between imposing more standards and preventing the press from exposing things in the public interest. it will be interesting to see what the government ends up doing because it's true that the penalties here don't always seem to be a deterrent. savannah. >> a lot of those practices are hard to defend. michelle kosinski, thank you. it's now 7:20. here is carl. >> thanks. now to los angeles, dozens of adorable beagles who spent their lives trapped in cages, got a first taste of freedom.

>> reporter: at l.a.x., a special delivery in time for the holid holidays. >> hi, baby. >> reporter: this precious cargo from half a world away, 40 beagles rescued from a research lab in spain now safely in los angeles, headed for a foster home and a new life. >> these dogs have sort of served people their whole life. they have been used and abused for animal testing, and you know, now they get to be free. and we get to give them a life. >> reporter: volunteers say these beagles and the dogs rescued before them have never really had a chance to live. >> we are headed somewhere where we can run free. >> reporter: they were more project than pet. the dogs spent their lives caged in a science lab, some have never seen the sun, much less a park. >> about to be their first steps on the grass or outside ever. their entire lives.

very exciting. should i start? let's do it. >> reporter: that first fearful step is never an easy one. >> come on, big boy. yeah. >> reporter: ten minutes pass before a shaky paw touches ground. a dog learning to be a dog. >> in the beginning they didn't know what a toy was, they didn't know how to go for a walk. they weren't able to jump up on the couch or go up and down stairs. >> reporter: the beagle freedom project helped change that. these guys will spend the next weeks here until they are medically cleared, then adopted out. the lucky ones have found owners who want to bring them home. >> i felt he was claiming me. >> reporter: with a story like theirs and a face like this, volunteers believe all of these beagles will find a happy home. a reason this holiday for adopting families to be thankful and these beautiful beagles to be grateful. for today, nbc news,

ken shanault. this year the president is endorsing this. how did this come about? remind us? >> small business saturday is really a movement. it's become a national movement, and it's all about supporting your locally owned small business in your community. small businesses create two-thirds of the net new jobs, half the jobs in the private sector come from small business. >> so when you launched this last year, what kind of results did you get? did small business actually get an uptick? >> we were really encouraged. this was the first year -- obviously last year when we introduced small business, and what we saw for ourselves is that on our cards we saw a 28% increase in spending on american express cards. we also know from our research that it really did spur sales. this year we're talking about tremendous scale. we've got 240 organizations

supporting it, the president issues a proclamation on small business. the senate actually agreeing to a resolution unanimous. how often does that happen in washington? >> just to walk us through how it works, you don't need to have an american express card. you don't need to use it if you have one, right? how do you know what is a small business, and how do you get the $25 credit? >> this is very important. this is not about american express. this is about small business. so you can use any type of card. you can use cash and checks. all you have to do is on november 26th go out and support your small business. small businesses are independently owned businesses in your community. if you want to get something else, you can go on facebook, you can go on our site and you can get a $25 credit if you use our card. you can make that happen. what i want to emphasize is this

is about small business. >> i think our viewers are savvy enough to know that some small businesses don't take american express because the fees, they argue, sometimes are higher. is this not at least one way to get back in their good graces? >> here's what's important. we're already in the good graces. we're the largest provider to small businesses. our cards average three to four times the size on spend of other cards, so we have a great relationship with small business. what's important here is we are really supporting -- this is their day. we want to make sure that we drive the economy, and install business small businesses have an important role in driving our economy. shop small is what we want people to do this saturday. >> thank you very much, the head of american express. still ahead, facing a fridge full of leftovers? how to turn your thanksgiving scraps into a brand-new meal tonight. first, these messages.

>> because it just proves how strong we are because from the first album we weren't strong at all. that was the beginning of the relationship i have with my fans. we went a very, very dark, you know, negative place. there's been so much growth and evolution since then, but the one thing that remains consistent is trials and tribulations. we've been strong through it all, and i felt like the title "my life 2" is perfect to celebrate how strong we are and how far we've come and who we are. >> you call it a journey. when you think about where you were 23 years ago, those were dark days. was it hard to look back as you look forward with this album? >> it wasn't hard to look because i didn't center to look back because my life is real. it's full of trials and tribulations as well as try jumps and great things and positive things. the reason for the title is because of the consistency of how to get to the next place. there's always discomfort.

we get there, and we break through. then there's another trial, and then we break through. then there's another trial, and we didn't have that understanding on the first "my life" album. i feel like my fans and i should be celebrating even in the midst of trials. >> i know you have a lot of great collaborators on this allium including beyonce, what are you going to sing? >> i'm going to sing my single "mr. wrong." >> we all know him. take it away. thank you. ♪ ♪ bad boys ain't no good ♪ good boys ain't no fun ♪ lord knows that i should

we will get more wind to help break out some of those clouds as we head toward the afternoon. today will be a fairly cool day around the bay area with upper 50s to low 60s. closer to 60 for san francisco. definitely cool afternoon. tomorrow, more morning fog and then a bit of a warm-up, at least for some of our inland valleys by the time we reach sunday. savannah, back inside to you. maria, thank you. this morning on "today's consumer," the black friday rush is well under way. if you haven't hit the stores yet, you may miss out on good days. courtney regan is at the green shopping center this morning. >> reporter: good morning. things are actually going really well. a lot of experts were a little worried because folks are very aware of the tough economic conditions. at least so far that negative sentiment has been shelved and replaced with holiday cheer. lots of shoppers out today,

heavy traffic, and the folks i'm talking to, savannah, are spending a couple hundred dollars. estimates for the entire weekend were for the average consumer to spend about 225. we could actually be topping that fairly early. i think retailers are happy. shoppers seem to be happy, and there are lots of deals in these bags walking out of the stores around me. >> courtney regan, you better get in there. thank you. >> i will. thank you. what do you need to know if you want to find the best deals? we turn to vera gibbons. good morning. good to see you. what kind of numbers do we expect in the stores this weekend? >> they're all over the map. some say as many as 225 million shoppers will be out spending on average $385. that's more than twice the total holiday budgets. black friday counts for 10% to 11% of sales. >> even if you miss the

doorbusters, because a lot might be gone by 9:00 in the morning. >> people camped out for them. they had their generators. >> it's like a bieber concert. >> limited quantities, those are gone and the doorbusters are gone. there's plenty of other deals. >> the first tip is research, research. >> you have to look beyond the circulars. these days you have to have a game plan. you want to go to the designated black friday site, blackfriday2011.com and find out who has what at price points and compare prices on sites like fatwallet or pricegrabber. look what people are saying about the products. you can do that on amazon, because there's a lot of products that aren't necessarily name brands this year in particular. you want to get the best product at the best price and the product is decent and more buying. >> it's not just about price. you say also consider the extras. >> there's a lot of extras out there. laptops might have a printer.

the xbox might come with a game that nobody wants. might come with a gift card. might come with nothing at all. you have to look at the bundling. generally speaking it's better for the retailer than consumer. >> the next tip is a catchy one, shop with a purpose. >> have a game plan here. look what happened in california with the pepper spray. people are very aggressive on this day. without a game plan, you get tram pemed on. divvy up the responsibilities. one person hang with the shopping cart by the check out and the other person get the items. put a cap on how much time you spend per store and put a value on your time. you want to stand in line for two, three hours for a $15 item? probably not. >> your time might be more valuable especially this time of year. don't forget the small stuff. what do you mean by na? >> some people are focused on the big ticket item, the home theater systems and flat screens, those type of items and tend to overlook the smaller items significantly discounted.

memory cards, blu-ray players. you have leapfrog games for $125. you ha -- $15, you have select dolls under $5. a good time for basics. the gap has jeans for $19, old navy for $15. don't fixate on the big ticket items, look beyond that. >> some retail stores have 40% off everything in the store. there's great deals. >> there's great deals. >> let's say you're afraid and see the black friday crowds and say not me. online shopping is huge. >> you avoid the aggressiveness by shopping online, too. the good thing about shopping online is most of the in-store deals are available in larger quantities online. typically free shipping, maybe no sales tax. the tricky part is know when the sales go live, but there are apps to help you get started. start with tgicybermonday for

example and take it from there. >> thank you so much. coming up next, maybe you're shopping for a new house this black friday. it's a big ticket item. bar ra barbara is here to show you. more on the british phone sage fiant, thees ms.ge [ female announcer ] at jcpenney...shop jcp.com ...thanksgiving day from home... ...or in store friday from 4am. find over 500 black friday deals... ...like sleepwear for the whole family... and the helicopter he'll love for $18.99. we make christmas affordable.

>> that would be very nice. >> you start out with palm springs, california. an artisan restretrearetreat? >> it not only comes with a beautiful house but 330 days of sunshine a year and it's a playground for the rich and famous in palm springs. people love it. this is not a rich and famous house. it's a whacky kind of house. it's a huff and tumble hillside home. i think it works. it looks like an alpine chalet than a desert home. the inside is in keeping, but inside there's a barrel vaulted ceiling, barrel vaulted walls. everywhere you look. that is the kitchen. very streamlined and not to everyone's taste. if you like that thing, they did it really well. >> it's an acquired taste. >> you either like it or don't. it's like a giant sauna inside, but at least they're true to the vision there. the main living area has cool floors and a spiral stair kais.

very youthful. you have to have good energy to live there. there you can appreciate it. you feel like you're inside the hull of a ship of some kind. it's a cute house. it has a lot ft and cozy wood burning fireplaces. >> let's go to atlanta, georgia in a four-bedroom bungalow. >> it's in atlanta. >> that's pretty. >> i love the wonderful porch. it says come on home. what's wrong with that? give me iced tea, sweet please. it's not too big or small. it's a porch you really use. inside the living room has an original brick fireplace, very clean white walls and oversized sunny windows. that's a well presented room. a lovely house. the kitchen is completely new. it has stylish counters and a back splash. it's opposite to the house

before in every way. the backyard has a small stone patio that's about right, but it's about a block away from the big duck pond this whole neighborhood loves. >> that's very nice. let's go to seattle, washington. 400,000.e what we get for under >> everybody likes seattle, washington fosh a lr a lot of r. it makes it's claim for the first shopping mall that opened in 1950. it's still there. the outside of the house is a classic brick tudor on the outside but inside it's different. the living room has great details with wood floors and i like the green tile fireplace. the dining room is one of the best dining rooms i've seen. it's delicious with a high coat ceiling and an oversized arriveway and huge picture wind co windows. the window galley kitchen is fresh and modern, simple with a honeycomb tile counter. look at the small breakfast area

apple picking and strawberry picking and we've always been in the kitchen together. this is the tiny kitchen where it all started. i don't know how we cooked as long as we did. >> today the sisters work side by side developing a growing line of dog biscuits for a variety of canine cravings including chicken cordon bleu and peanut butter and jelly. >> we're selling 20,000 to 30,000 treats a month which exceeded any expectation where th we thought we'd be. whole foods is our biggest client. >> it afforded them a chance to rent space in a commercial kitchen and operate on a much larger scale going from this mixer to this one. and though they now have baking help, each biscuit is still hand cut so they can maintain quality while producing thousands of biscuits a day. >> if you have a good product, you need to focus on that.

bunch of money? >> you can start very small. you don't need to buy 10,000 packages to start a business. you can start with one or two and go to a few stores and like it. >> are these good enough for humans. >> i'm going for it. >> let's do it. >> this is pbj. peanut butter and blueberries. >> one, two, three, go. i'm not eing a dog biscuit. no way. i learned that from matt lauer. thank you so much. i got it from matt. thanks so much. thank you. >> they're not bad. coming up next, how to make a delicious new meal out of thanksgiving leftovers with dog biscuits sprinkled right on top. this is "today" on nbc.

to make a rue, it takes a little time and patience and 20 minutes, and you'll be pretty much done. we add some hot oil and flour here that i've been cooking for a good 20 minutes, and wait until this gets to a camel color. once it gets to this point, we add in some of our vegetables here. >> and there's some peppers and celery. >> this is a great way to clear out that extra stuff you had leftover. >> so many people are doing celery and onions. it's a good idea. >> we add some sausage here and leftover turkey, if we have it. >> great. kind of cut up in cubes. >> if you want to, you can throw the whole piece of leftover ny thigh in there. pour that right in. dump that in, it's cayenne pepper. >> got to have that in gumbo.
