good morning. good morning. as herman cain puts his campaign on ice, newt gingrich is gaining more ground. polls show gingrich first in iowa, a strong second in new hampshire. we'll look at the gop campaign and who has the best chance to pick up cain's support. european leaders begin meeting this morning to try to save the euro and solve the debt crisis. we'll tell you how the talk could affect the u.s. economy. penn state sex abuse suspect jerry sandusky insists he is not a molester and his interest in kids has been misunderstood. >> i'm attracted to young people, boys, girls. >> hear more from his four-hour interview with "the new york times." and this is the tiger woods that we haven't seen in two years. we'll see if sunday's dramatic win means that the old tiger is

back. early this monday morning, december 5, 2011. captioning funded by cbs good monday morning, everyone. >> erica hill and chris wraggy are off this morning. kind of an ominous looking sky out there. coming up, the kennedy center honors on sunday. the president hosted a white house reception for this year's honorees. singer barbara cook and neal diamond, and multioscar winner meryl streep were all there. they had a big party at the kennedy center in washington. a lot of great performances, including, by the way, the sing along to "sweet caroline." and we'll have much more coming up. >> with caroline there. very good stuff.

>> maybe we'll even sing. >> i don't know about that. but we begin with campaign 2012, where the republican presidential race is taking on a new shape this morning after herman cain as you know ended his run for the white house over the weekend. >> as the other candidates go after his voters, the latest polls show that newt gingrich is still rising to the top. political correspondent jan crawford is in washington with more on cain's withdrawal. good morning, jan. >> reporter: good morning, rebecca. cain said that he was suspending his campaign, but what that means is it's over. i talked to him and his wife gloria after his announcement. he said he made the decision on his own before he got back off the campaign home to atlanta. he couldn't put his family through it anymore. gloria cain told me she would have supported whatever he decided, because a part of her wanted him to stay in the race because she believes him. >> he's always upbeat. and i know he will stay active in public life. >> reporter: herman cain's

decision -- >> i am suspending my presidential campaign. >> reporter: comes as polls show newt gingrich rising to the top of the republican pack. in a new survey, gingrich comes out in front in iowa with caucuses in less than a month with 25%, putting him ahead of congressman ron paul and former massachusetts governor mitt romney. and in new hampshire, considered solid romney country, gingrich is second with 23% to romney's 39%. it all has gingrich talking like a front-runner. >> this may be the most important election since 1860. eight years of barack obama would be a disaster. i am going to ask you to be with me because together, we have to stand shoulder to shoulder. >> reporter: some assume gingrich will pick up many of cain's supporters. but second-tier candidates like michele bachmann and rick santorum argue they'll benefit from cain's exit.

>> a lot of cain supporters have been calling our office and coming over to our side. >> if you look at every poll, we keep moving up. slowly. >> reporter: and gingrich is about to get front-runner scrutiny. he carries around a lot of baggage and turned off some staunch conservatives. they saw his leadership in congress first hand. on fox news sunday, republican senator tom coburn of oklahoma said he didn't think he could support gingrich. >> i'm not inclined to be a supporter of newt gingrich having served under him for four years and experienced personally his leadership. i just found his leadership lacking. >> reporter: now one thing about gingrich that may turn off some of those cain supporters, he was a real washington insider, as we heard from senator coburn. some questions about his leadership. so yesterday, texas governor rick perry is even getting into the act, trying to woo some of cain's people with a page on his website saying that he now is the only true washington outsider in the race. also mitt romney, a businessman, may appeal to some of those cain

voters. like cain, he has that executive experience. cain supporters they say really like that and are going to take a look at romney. rebecca? >> good point. jan crawford from washington, thanks so much. and as jan mentioned, all the candidates are going after cain supporters in iowa, where the race has been wide open for months. >> john dickerson is in des moines this morning, and he is joining us along with "time" magazine columnist joe klein, who wrote a cover story on mitt romney this week. good morning to both of you. joe, the cover story is called, why doesn't anybody like me, talking about mitt romney. at this point, 0 to 100, what are the chances mitt romney is not the nominee? >> oh, i can't do that. i mean, really. look, the campaign is just finally beginning now. most people in iowa are going to change their minds twice between now and january 3. it's really hard to predict these things. what we do know, though, is that the majority, the vast majority of republicans, have been dissatisfied with mitt romney from the very start.

he's been stuck at about 25%. he's getting lower now. and it's going to be difficult for him to get over the top. >> john, joe won't bite. what are the chances newt gingrich ais the nominee? >> i'm not going to bite either, jeff. joe taught me that. [ laughter ] >> you know, gingrich is having his moment. he is having it at the right time, because there's a month left between -- before the iowa caucuses, and he is running strong here in iowa and he has a great deal of baggage, as jan mentioned, in her piece. but people are forgiving him that, and a lot of that is a part of what joe wrote about. because they just don't feel any strong love for mitt romney. and they like the fact that newt gingrich is giving them something to feel passionate about. >> john, you bring up this point about newt gingrich giving them something to feel passionate about. yesterday on "face the nation" robert gibbs talked about the fact that the white house sees this man, newt gingrich, as for

real, but do you think they see him as enough of a threat to put a plan going forward that they could beat in an election head-to-head? >> oh, yes. i think the white house -- it's tough for them to play mischief in the republican race, although they are certainly trying by attacking mitt romney. i think that newt gingrich has liabilities in the general election context. his negatives were very, very high when he left washington in the mid '90s. if you look at the des moines register poll and you ask the question of likability, he is very, very low on that question. it's one of the reasons he says he won't attack his opponents. he needs to improve his like ability number. and in a general election when people have to think about who do they want in their lives for four years, newt gingrich has a lot of who, to do on that front. and this white house could take him on that front. or a number of things he said that might slip by. but certainly this is a white house with a great deal of money

could make it into a national issue. >> you talked about the flip flopping that takes place not just with the candidates but also in the polls that happens before elections. what's it going to take for gingrich to hold onto iowa going into this election? >> well, he's going to have to keep his head. this is a guy who cannot stand prosperity. within a day after the polls showed him ahead, he is already referring to himself as in the royal "we" and calling himself newt gingrich. this is a guy who cannot control his ego when he is riding high. i have had this experience with him when he was named speaker. i've seen it over the years. there are other candidates in the race. there's a guy in the middle, ron paul, who is running ahead of romney in iowa. and has two things that you need in iowa. one is passion. and the other is an organization. you know, there are an awful lot of libertarian kids who are willing to drive buses to bring in the ron paul vote.

so it's not impossible that paul could -- paul could win iowa. but the other really important thing to note about the republican race this time is that it isn't winner take all. you only get a portion of the delegates that you win. and so this could go on until june, i hate to tell you. >> joe, quickly, how important is herman cain's endorsement? >> not that important. i mean, it might help gingrich a bit. i'm sure he'll endorse gingrich. you know, they are longtime friends. >> and again, things get rough and tumble now between romney and gingrich? >> probably in the last few weeks. although i think that both of them understand that going after fellow republicans in a hot primary usually is a kamikaze mission. >> joe klein from "time" and joe dickerson, our political director, thanks to both of you. >> thanks, guys. now to europe where a series of meetings this week is sure to affect the economy in europe and around the world. >> european leaders are under pressure to get their credit

crisis and the faltering banks under control. and correspondent mark phillips has the latest from london this morning. good morning. >> reporter: well, the individual crisis in europe, glees greece, italy, spain, portugal, has become one big one, and the meetings may result in some fundamental changes if how the euro works with consequences for all of us. the euro crisis is apparently not just about financial pain. it's about emotional pain as well. the italian welfare minister, elsa fanero, was so upset when she outlined the pension cuts that were necessary she broke down. italy's new prime minister, mario monti, tried to ease the national pain by announcing he's giving up his salary. but italy needs to find $27 billion of cuts to avoid bankruptcy. it's not just europe's weak economies that need a fix. the whole system is being re-examined. germany's angela america la aama

la and even possibly impose penalties on those who break those rules. the two leaders are being called hercozy as they try to move their positions closer. finally -- >> i have never seen such a collection of human ostriches stick their head in the sand hoping this heinous problem would go away. and it never, ever was going to go away. and here we have been rotting since the greek crisis, virtually a year ago. >> reporter: the markets have been optimistic there will be a deal, but this is being called a make or break week for the eurozone crisis with a summit scheduled for sunday. it's all an ironic time for europe to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of the euro currency, and the publicity videos being put out show it. >> europe builds bridges and inspires hope. it enables its people to look to the future with confidence.

>> reporter: confidence of course is exactly what there isn't right now. this is going to come down to an argument about how much power the european countries are willing to give up, how much centralized planning and control there will be, and power is not something that politicians like to give up. rebecca? >> thank you, mark. and joining us now with a closer look at the european debt crisis and how it affects the u.s. is michael san tolley, senior editor of "money" magazine. last week stocks were up 7%. do you think this week that the hopes are too high that the european union will figure something out? >> i don't know if they are too high. i think last week the markets were celebrating a short-term stopgap measure with the european union keeping the banks afloat with easy access to cheap dollars. but i do think right now people are building towards this idea that this is this year's last best hope for some kind of lasting solution. unfortunately what seems on paper to be the simplest thing would be for the european

central bank to go up and buy up the debt of the troubled countries. still doesn't seem like it's on the table. it will be more of a patched together solution. >> not a final solution, it is something that's still going to here and there and last for quite a while? >> exactly. and something that requires all of these different countries potentially to sort of rewrite the original treaty. really what they are focused on here is kind of solving one of the shortcomings of the euro in the first place, which was that all of these independent countries can essentially cheat and run big budget deficits even though they have agreed not to. >> and obviously, fall back on france and germany and their stronger economies to keep them moving forward. >> exactly. >> one of the solutions put in place last week that helped our markets here is the fact that banks around the world, central banks around the world, including the federal reserve, are ponying up money for the ecb to give to the banks. >> right. >> how much of the solution is that part? >> that really is about a more short-term sort of making sure on an overnight basis that the banks don't have to sell assets and scrounge for financing.

so that's really not something that's going to get us to a place where we're satisfied that the euro problem has been solved. it's not a matter of putting capital into the banks. it's just sort of keeping them running. so i really do think it's going to be more of a political solution that has to happen. >> so this is mercozy doing this together as they are called, angela merkel and nicolas sarkozy. everyone has full path and confidence that they'll get it done? >> but they are each beholden to their own citizens. let's think of it in u.s. terms. we had our own congressman date a committee of itself to come up with a budget, a structural budget solution. it doesn't do it. now we're asking other parliaments to listen to some extra national authority potentially or some other countries in terms of how they'll run their budget finances. it's not necessarily an easy sell. but i do think the markets have thrown enough of a tantrum at this point that i think everyone is very serious about trying to comply with what they are looking for. >> let's hope so. >> michael, thank you very much. now over to betty at the

news desk for more news this morning. >> good morning to you and to you at home. iran says it shot down and covered a secret unmanned u.s. spy drone, but u.s. officials say the craft is probably a drone that crashed in western afghanistan last week. now some experts fear the spy plane could be reverse engineered to advance iran's drone program. in germany this morning, secretary of state hillary clinton and delegates from about 100 countries are attending a conference on afghanistan's future. clinton says the u.s. is prepared to stand by afghanistan for the long haul, even after our combat troops withdraw in 2014. in london this morning, wikileaks founder sulian assange was given permission to appeal extradition approved by lower courts. swedish police want to question him about sexual assault claims by two women. in washington, senate democrats say they will reach out to republicans today and

♪ welcome back to "the early show," everyone. i'm jeff glor, along with rebecca jarvis. erica hill and chris wragge are off. we begin with the latest on the penn state sexual abuse case. jerry sandusky is once again denying he ever molested children. >> during a interview with "the new york times," the former penn state football coach was asked why he hesitated when bob costas asked sandusky in an interview earlier if he was sexually attracted to young boys. >> i was sitting there saying, what in the world is this question? you know? what -- you know what -- am i going to be -- if i say no, i'm not attracted to boys, that's

not the truth, because i'm attracted to young people, boys, girls. >> jo becker is the "the new york times" reporter who interviewed sandusky for four hours. we should mention off the top that is when sandusky's lawyer stepped in and joe amendola said, to clarify, he is attracted to them but not sexually attracted. >> correct, yes. >> he is trying to make that differentiation. why did sandusky do this with you? >> he said he did it because he feels like his life's work with children has been twisted is the word that he used, and, in fact, his lawyer joe amendola also said essentially that, you know, what the prosecutor, you know, essentially sandusky's actions and the way he interacted with children could be seen either as a man who really likes children or fitting the profile of a pedophile. >> in that question of why he did this, he also addressed the claims that paterno was

approached, that he knew about this and said, no, joe paterno never approached me, he never came to me and said i was accused of sexual abuse. >> that's right. he was investigated in 1998 by the university police and then again there was an incident in 2002. they did not go to the police over. but in both of those instances, he said after -- following those incidents, joe paterno never spoke to him about it. he doesn't know whether joe paterno was told, but all he can say is that he never spoke to him. >> did you believe that when he said that? >> well, i mean, ultimately that is up to, you know, a jury to sort out all of this and certainly penn state is looking into it and they have got a commission of their own and and the university is looking into it, so i'm sure that will all come out in the wash eventually and hopefully we will hear from mr. paterno at some point. >> san dusky and his lawyer are

clearly trying to set up their defense or it seems to. at the same time, they are making the prosecution's job a little bit years with some of these stipulations. >> sure, sure. the victim's lawyer said it went towards corroborating their case. he says things like, you know, he says i did call these kids -- one of the victims, dozens of times, but it was to study. i called another kid after the grand jury convened, but it was because i thought he would be my character witness, i didn't realize he was a victim. he says, at one point, that he thinks that the prosecution's case against him is unfair, though, some of the things could be plausible. you know, he says, at another point, that, you know, he readily acknowledges giving kids money, setting up savings accounts for them, giving them gifts that were donated to the charity like computers and golf clubs.

so the prosecution doesn't have to prove any of that any more. of course, the prosecution's take is this was classic sort of grooming behavior. his take is, you know, he was generous and wanted to reward kids for achieving economacadem. >> what does san dusky's wife think of all of this. >> before the interview, i talked to him. we didn't talk about the substance of the case. he agreed to meet with me and to decide, you know, whether or not he wanted to sit down with me for the interview. and he said that he wanted to consider it overnight and he wanted to talk to his wife about it and so, you know, he says his circle has diminished considerably. here's a guy who, you know, all over state college, everybody wanted to be his friend and go to the golf tournaments that they held to raise money for second mile and, today, he says pretty much, you know, it's wife and his kids and his dog. >> i'm not sure that he can expect anything more at this

point. jo becker, we appreciate your time this morning. >> thanks, jo. we return to betty nguyen with another check of this morning's headlines. in paris today, the leaders of france and germany meet to try and save the euro. merkel and sarkozy expect to present a proposal. tim geithner is also in europe this week meeting with top officials ahead of the summit in brussels. another crackdown on occupy wall street protesters. more than 30 people were arrested for refusing to leave mcpherson square park in washington, d.c. police used a cherry picker to grab those who refused to climb down a wooden structure they had built. according to the lundberg survey, the price for a gallon of gas nationwide is now $3.29. that is

relations between pakistan and the u.s. are facing new strains. the u.s. is leaving an air base in pakistan used to launch drone attacks against taliban and al qaeda insurgents. sunday, president obama called pakistan's president. white house officials say he offered his condolenceses for the death of 24 soldiers killed in an air strike and no sign that mr. obama apologized. joining us is national security analyst juan sarate. good morning. >> good morning. >> offering condolences but not an joapology. >> reporter: clearly a firefight that led to the ultimate deaths of these 24 pakistan soldiers. at the same time, you have to manage a relationship. this is an ally and so you have

to offer condolences for the death of these soldiers and it's something that has graefaggrava relationship that is struggling between the united states and pakistan. >> do you think an outright apology would have changed anything here, though? >> i don't think so. i think the pakistanis sensitive its on this are very raw. you have to remember the pakistanis view this as the latest string of an assault on their softvereignty that they a in bed with the haqqani net. where they are very sensitive to u.s. activities. so an apology itself is not going to repair the relationship. this is going to take some time. >> in response to this, pakistan has cut off nato supply routes and forced the cia out of an important air base and also pulled out of this conference on the future of afghanistan. how significant are those three items in terms of our relationship and the security threat in the future out of that

region? >> well, that's important material. in part, because we need the supply routes open. we need our air bases and we certainly need the pakistanis as part of a future stable afghanistan region. what is also interesting is the fact that those three actions underscore why we need pakistan for our ongoing efforts as well as the future of afghanistan. without pakistan as part of the mix, you can't imagine a stable region. >> iran is now claiming responsibility for a downed u.s. drone. they say they have it in their possession. we have yet to see any pictures from them. how significant, if this is true that iran has possession, how significant of a security threat is that for the united states? >> well, first of all, i think it's doubtful that they actually shot this down, but if they to have it in their possession, they have collected it from the ground, i think there are serious concerns about reverse engineering of the technology in the drone itself. there are also concerns about this being part of an ongoing

battle within iran to confront the west so see how it plays out. i think the iranians thrive on confrontation and under a great deal of economic and diplomatic pressure so this is part of an ongoing drama between the united states and iran. >> cbs news juan zarate, thanks. appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up next, we haven't seen this in a while. tiger woods wins his first tournament in two years. >> the latest on his comeback. what is next for tiger. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. we will speak with our kelly tilghman from the golf channel. i'd never ride without one now. and since my doctor prescribed lipitor, i won't go without it for my high cholesterol and my risk of heart attack. why kid myself? diet and exercise weren't lowering my cholesterol enough. now i'm eating healthier, exercising more, taking lipitor. numbers don't lie. my cholesterol's stayed down. lipitor is fda approved to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients who have heart disease or risk factors for heart disease. it's backed by over 19 years of research.

this morning, tiger woods is a tournament championship for the first time since the car accident that turned his life and career upside down. on sunday, woods birdied the 18th hole. long putt to win the chevron world challenge and birdied the 17, by the way. his first tournament title since november of 2009. joining us from the golf channel

is kelly tilghman. good morning. >> good morning to you. >> how big is this win, kelly? >> i think it's significant because he finally won again. it's been two years and three weeks since he last hoisted a trophy in australia and he has been trending in the right direction since october of this year. finally, it all came together for tiger woods even though it was a limited 18-man field he was the man on top in the end and that is what is most important to him. >> he also won the winning putt in the president's cup last month which was significant for him. kelly, have his struggles recently here, is it more mental or more physical? >> well, the physical aspects of it are well documented. he has been struggling since 2008 missing chunks of time from the game. acl surgery, achilles tendon, you name it he has been battling it. we are used to seeing him 18 to 20 times earlier in his career per year. so it has not been the case for tiger woods. you know, the chunk of time he took off this summer when he

came back, he claimed that he was a hundred percent healthy by his own standards for the first time in his career and that is saying a lot. and certainly we have seen it in his gait. it is flawless. to our eye, no limps, you know, nothing going on there. and certainly in the direction of his game as far as that is concerned, it seems to be moving well. he is at a point now where he is starting to put four rounds together. we have seen him put as many as two to three together in a week but struggle at least mightily in one of them. so, finally, he put four together at the chevron world challenge. >> is his putting back, kelly? >> you know, it seems to be moving back. we saw something we had never seen before from tiger woods, at least in his professional career and that was going from the reverse overlap grip, getting a little technical for the golf audience here, but it's a grip he has used his whole life to an interlocking grip and he switched bark to the reverse overlap, excuse me, on the golf course the next round. so it's kind of strange to see

what is happening with this club that afforded him numerous major championships, 14 of them, but he is doing what he feels his best and the putts are starting to find the bottom of the cup in tiger-like fashion. something we haven't seen in a good two years. >> someone who watches him very closely and now seen him win yesterday, can we get a prediction for 2012? how many victories? >> a lot of people ask is he back? it it depends on your definition of back. he is definitely back to feeling the adrenaline to being in the hunt and finally closed the deal at the chevron world challenge so i think this will potentially tip the lid for at least a couple of tournament victories next year. it could come as early as the masters. >> don't mean to cut you off but we have to go. >> yes, my pleasure. >> we are back after this.

>> a lot of controversy and finger-pointing in this case. and our anna warner joins us from the a&m campus in tallahassee, florida. anna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, jeff, those investigations are just getting under way. and there are many questions to be answered here. chief among them -- why the university didn't clamp down harder on hazing rituals known to have existed here for decades. [ sirens ] >> reporter: as robert champion's funeral, drum majors with florida a&m university's famed marching 100 led the presession. in honor of their classmate, a 26-year-old drum major himself, who was found unconscious on a band bus after an apparent hazing incident november 19th. >> is he breathing? >> i have no idea, i cannot tell you that he just threw up. >> champion later died and the university dismissed four students for violating the school's hazing policy. cbs news has now confirmed that

some of the same drum majors marching in the funeral were those dismissed. >> i feel very comfortable that i've did all i could. i'm not proud that i lost one of my children. >> dr. julian white, the band director, was fired after champion's death. but white said he tried for years without success, to stamp out the band's persistent hazing culture, with workshops and anti-hazing messages. >> the drum majors are a step above as far as these are concerned. so i talked with them even more about hazing. than i do to the band. >> just ten days before champion died, white notified the school he was suspending 26 band members for separate hazing incidents. cbs news has learned that the following day, a school dean and the university's police chief met with the entire band. to admonish them about hazing. but the anti-hazing message apparently never got through to some of the students. heading to the biggest performance of the year.

champion died just two days after that warning. >> now, as state investigators look into for the potential for criminal charges here, all of the marching band's activities are on hold. tonight here on campus, there will be a mandatory anti-hazing forum for all student organizations, and all students here on campus. back to you. >> all right, anna warner, thank you very much. we return to betty nguyen at the news desk for more. >> good morning. after almost nine years of wars, planeloads of u.s. troops are exiting iraq. due to withdraw by the end of the year. one of the places they're leaving is a military base in hillah, about 20 miles south of baghdad. cbs news correspondent jim axelrod is at the scene. >> at a military base, one of four military bases left in iraq, still under the control of the u.s. military, all the other bases have been turned over,

either to the state department or to the government of iraq. what's happening here is this is a place where convoys come as they transition south to the kuwaiti border. north to south is how the troop withdrawal is going. they come to this particular place, cal sue, for maintenance, for fuel, for medical. essentially it's a truck stop on the way to kuwait. and everyone here will now break this particular base down, and head to kuwait. that means training for people who have not been out on the front lines, water handlers, even cooks have to get familiar with the weapons and the communication systems that are in these troop transport vehicles, because as this convoy rolls to kuwait sometime in the next few weeks, it will certainly be a high-profile target. jim axelrod, cbs news, in iraq. back in the u.s., the scramble is on this morning, to get herman cain's endorsement now that he's suspended his presidential campaign. two new polls show newt gingrich is rising to the top of the

sponsored by bp. with interest rates at historic lows, no one would blame you for keeping cash under your mattress. well, carmen wong might. but there may be better ways to get returns on your deposits without taking on too much risk. >> personal finance expert, carmen wong is here with other options that you may not know about. he brings up the point, interest rates are so low, you get paid practically nothing in a saving account. >> they're going to stay that way, the fed is going to keep rates at or near zero until 2013 at least. a national average on a money market account? .14%, according to bankrate.com. but ka keep in mind there's a small cost, you're not earning money on your cash. but especially if it's your emergency fund, you need liquidity, you need access to cash if you lose your income. so at least you're not paying interest by using a credit card because you don't have the cash to pay the bill. so keep it in mind, you need the cash. >> are we allowed to take the

interest-free loans from the fed and go buy bonds and make money that way? are we eligible for that program? >> only banks. >> people looking for more interest, what should we do, if we can't do that? >> there's a couple of things you can do. there's a new product out there that's getting press here and whenever there's a demand for something, a product will be created. an el cd, an equity-linked certificate of deposit. it follows a stock index. like the s&p 500. but keep in mind here, five-year commitment, there's no guarantee you're actually going to earn anything. especially if the market goes down when your maturity is up, you may not have anything to show for it. it's kind of risky. i say keep your cash away from anything tied to the market. you could use a basic cd, certificate of deposit. one year, the averages are pretty low, one-year cd, .77%. five-year, 1.8 %. not a ton. and there's savings bonds from the treasury.

treasurydirect..gov, five-year commitment. >> why wouldn't you do that right now? >> because if you need the cash, if there is an emergency fund and you need the cash, you forfeit the interest and possibly pay penalties. so make sure this is part of your cash that's part of your investment portfolio, so you don't lose out. >> banking online instead of the brick-and-mortar banks can have advantages. >> that's the great part. you don't have to go into cds to get the interest rates. online banks are offering similar interest with no minimums, no terms, online banking, .89% on savings and money market accounts. and lenders are getting into the market. salie mae, and also credit unions, don't forget credit unions offer some good rates, .17 better than regular brick-and-mortar banks. so that's pretty good earnings. >> credit unions, they seem to

come up a lot. >> they do. >> a good idea to explore? >> there's a reason why there's a big push into credit unions. they're not allowed to get into other, like credit default, any kind of crazy investments that risk your money. they don't take the risks that the bigger banks do. they can give you better rates on loans, better rates on savings, because they don't risk the money that they have. >> and they haven't fallen under the same regulatory hurdles that bigger banks have fallen under. that's why they argue that the big banks are charging the big fees. >> to learn more go to ncua.gov to research banks and credit unions near you. thank you very much. up next, dogs are leading an experiment that might benefit people with cancer. >> the latest on a new vaccine that treats brain tommors. this is the "early show" on cbs. may treat brain tumors.eat brain this is "the early show" on cbs. in louisiana. they came to see us in florida...

in this morning's health watch, man's best friend, dogs help people in 100 different ways and scientists now believe they may be the key to finding a cure for a deadly form of brain cancer. >> as debbye turner bell reports, doctors in minnesota are developing a treatment that's already helping dogs and humans. >> reporter: when angie was told her dog, jack, had a brain tumor, she thought will was no hope for his survival. >> we would most likely have to put him down, or -- just, there were no real options. >> hi, jack, how are you? >> reporter: then she heard about an experimental treatment that is extending dog lives, at the university of minnesota veterinary hospital. >> dogs with a glioma, if they're untreated, they live on average a month, maybe two at the most. >> reporter: this veterinary surgeon teamed up with researcher dr. john you willfast to conduct clinical trials on dogs with brain tumors, using a

novel approach to stopping the progression of the disease. >> we're using a combination of gene therapy and vaccines. so vaccines have been tried, and gene therapy has been tried. the combination is new. >> reporter: the therapy includes creating a vaccine from the patient's cancer cells, that stimulates the patient's own immune system to fight the tumor and perhaps even prevent recurrence. >> i do not see any tumor. >> i don't see any tumor, either. >> reporter: dogs seem to be the perfect guinea pig. >> do you want a belly rub? >> our genetics, our environment, the tumors they get with more like ours than those we work with in the lab. >> the beauty of this is we're benefitting the dogs. because this is a patient with a problem we're treating and the results will now go to help benefit people. >> reporter: the therapy was so successful, that an astounding 95% of the dogs treated got better. that human trials were fast-tracked and began just two short years later.

>> ready? >> i'm ready. >> reporter: john is one of the first humans now receiving the experimental cancer vaccine. >> i'm just thrilled beyond belief to be included in this study. this is nothing short of an extension of life. >> reporter: this is also a last-ditch effort for him. even after two surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy, his tumor kept growing back. >> you really can't tell which image is from when. so this is -- a really nice stable image. >> reporter: so far, he's responding well to this treatment. >> it's a day-to-day, you know, hope for good news and hope, hope for improvement. >> reporter: but hull never imagined he would share this journey with a dog. >> i've never been a huge dog owner or supporter. but we bonded immediately. because i recognized right away how that dog contributed to the success of this program.

>> reporter: how close is this therapeutic approach? bringing you to curing this type of cancer? >> that's a hard question to answer. i would call what we're doing, the comparative on ccology approach, a giant leap. we feel like we're getting closer to something that's going to be a breakthrough. >> reporter: a breakthrough for man and man's best friend. jack is now healthy and cancer-free. >> we obviously were excited about the fact that it could prolong his life potentially for a few years. >> reporter: john hull's brain tumor has not gotten any bigger since july. >> such an incredible breakthrough. the next step is to test the therapy on a larger pool of patients. researchers expect that to happen very soon. up next, a night to recognize, america's greatest performers from yo-yo ma to meryl streep and everything in

>> once classes wind down, on dean's zune, powers up. >> using my text to answer calls and answering e-mails and doing my homework on my computer. >> if you have a choice, would you pick up a book or an ereader? >> pick up a book. the feeling of paper when you're reading it and being able to actually like underline and like oh, i'm like this, i don't like this. you can't do that with your kindle thing. >> reporter: so perhaps the classroom of the future may just be the classroom of the past. pryia david-clemens, cbs news, mountain view, california. >> laptops and tablets and other high tech tablets are still on millions of christmas lists and we heard about that incident on black friday where a woman pepper sprayed other shoppers on her way to grab an x-box. brings up the question why are

consumers so obsessed with buying stuff? >> the average american has $10,000 in credit card debt and 70% of us live paycheck to paycheck. joining us is james roberts, a marketing professor at baylor university and the author of "shiny objects why we spend money we don't have in search of happiness we can't buy. >> >> they are telling us we could purchase happiness online or at the mall. >> why listen? >> because everybody else is doing it. we know the saying about keeping up with the joneses but that entails looking over the fence and seeing they have a new chevy in the driveway or a new barbecue grill but usually that is looking at people who are in the same categories as we were. now we have the flinternet and see people with far more researches than we ever have and

we are unhappy for it. >> does buying stuff buy us some legitimate happiness? >> it's an important point to make about the book. the book is about moderation. i'm not asking the reader to shave their heads. primary is a driving force behind the decisions we make is money and we are out of balance and need to kick our priorities back into balance. >> we hear about people need to spend more to stimulate the economy and talk about how we don't save. finding that golden level, most people just haven't done it? >> well, it's difficult. we have got a lot of different voices and one of the real reasons, the real core of book why aren't we happier with the more we buy? something called adaptation. we are incredibly able to adapt in new situations. it's great when something bads happens. we lose a leg and we adapt to that situation. but when money in material

possession what happens is the thousand square foot house we are living for a bigger house. as soon as we get into a bigger house we want more. we call that a treadmill of consumption. we keep consuming and consuming but we never get close to happiness. all we do is speed up the treadmill. >> americans have pulled back significantly in some respects since the housing bubble burst and credit bubble and credit crisis and people see it in their 401(k)s but still save 60 cents for every hundred cents we have. what is a more ideal number in that category? >> good question. the rule of thumb is 50%. i think what you need to do is look at your own personal finances. do you have an emergency fund in case your car breaks down, your hot water heater blows a gasket? do you have three to six months of expenses saved up like 8.5% of us are unemployed. the baby boomers are coming into retirement with an average $50,000 in savings and wolefull

inadequate. am i placing too much money on spending and money, a topic of my book. >> probably the golden chestnut is not using credit cards. credit cards as we know are what we call as researchers spending facilitators. got to love that term. by that, we spend more money when we use credit cards. the major reason why is something called the pain of paying. when we use credit cards, the pain of pain is quite a bit less than when we have to pull out the green or write a check. the credit cards are great because when we buy, we go, we will worry about them in 30 days. as humans, we have a tendency to discount future events. but that future event is goiptigoing to come and we will owe that,,,,
