5:03 am
where police have already set up a perimeter to keep fans at a distance. this is the church where whitney houston first sang as a young girl in the junior choir. now it's where her friends and family will say good-bye. whitney houston will be remembered in the church where her gift for singing was first nurtured. ♪ >> reporter: new hope baptist church in newark, new jersey. the private service is invitation-only, but will be streamed live online. among those reportedly invited, oprah winfrey, bill cosby, beyonce and rapper jay-z. >> are you sorry to hear about the loss of whitney. >> reporter: r & b star ray jay who has been linked to whitney houston romantically was seen boarding a play with his sister brandy. houston's godmother, aretha
5:04 am
franklin, dionne warwick, stevie wonder, clive davis and alicia keys are all set to take part. as is kevin costner who starred with whitney houston in the 1992 film "the bodyguard." houston's ex-husband bo brkb houston's ex-husband bo brkobbyn is expected to attend. he spent much of the week with daughter bobbi kristina who was hospitalized after her mother's death. it is not clear if she'll attend the funeral. police are sealing off surrounding streets but that's not stopping fans from coming to newark to pay their respects. >> i'm 36 years old. she's been with my all a my life, since i was in 2nd grade. great person. she'll be dearly missed. >> reporter: whitney houston will be buried at fairview cemetery in westfield, about 20 minutes away. it's not far from where she grew up. she'll be buried next to her
5:05 am
father. rebecca? >> elaine, thanks, we appreciate it. for more on the careful planning and guest list for the funeral we are joined by the chief news correspondent for e entertainment, ken baker, outside the new hope baptist church this morning in newark. ken, good morning. >> good morning. >> elaine walked us through the guest list including kevin costner, oprah winfrey. who orchestrated whitney's funeral? who planned the event? >> really, the person in charge, the place where the buck stopped in all of this was cissy houston, whitney houston's mother. what we are going to see today from the guest list to the program to who is eulogizing is personally orchestrated by cissy. we are told she was personally reaching out. she called aretha franklin and said, you have to sing here. of course aretha is the godmother to whitney houston. she made it known to people she
5:06 am
wanted them here. besides the fact that this is a relatively small church, there are 1,500 people, pretty sizable. of course it will be star-studded. but it will be filled with people who whitney grow up with around the area. it will be a mixture of just high profile public people along with people who knew her when she was just whitney in the choir at this church. >> they have also made the decision to air this live on the internet as well. what was behind that choice, ken? >> well, what happened was originally there was talk of having it a couple miles away at the prudential center, seats over 18,000 people. similar to the michael jackson memorial we saw a few years ago at the staples center in los angeles. planningwise, it became too intense, too much for them to handle. so they scaled it down. a lot of fans were frankly upset. i think the family wants the world to celebrate whitney's life, to be able to mourn as
5:07 am
well along with people inside the church. so this was a compromise they made. make no mistake about it, they wanted this to be as intimate and personal as possible. also, i was outside the church yesterday. there was music rehearsals already going on. they're calling it a homegoing celebration. that she's going back home to god. i think you will see a lot of music, a lot of upbeat celebrating with a lot of tears. >> tell us more about the mood in the days leading up to this. the whole nation has followed this as well. and what was the mood like yesterday when you were there in church watching the rehearsals. there's going to be gospel and a mix of characters from early in whitn whitney's life as well as the aretha franklins of the world. >> you can still see they kept the makeshift shrine up that fans have been application balloons, cards, notes, photographs. they have been coming -- the
5:08 am
shrine has been building. it almost tripled in size yesterday alone. people were there singing whitney houston's songs. they were crying. i spoke to many people who said, you know, she provided the soundtrack to my life. they could rattle off songs that reminded them of moments in their lives. we saw our first glimpse of bobbi kristina, whitney's 18-year-old daughter she had with bobby brown. she showed up at a private wake at the wigham funeral home where whitney's body is resting now and will be transported here this morning. >> we appreciate you joining us this morning. ken baker, thank you. a bail hearing is set for next week for an unemployed illegal immigrant accused of plotting to bomb the u.s. capitol. amin al khalifi was taken into custody in a washington parking
5:09 am
garage with what he thought was a bomb and an automatic weapon. he had been under surveillance by the fbi for months, so both weapons were harmless. joing us now with details on the arrest is john miller, a former assistant director of the fbi. good morning, john. >> good morning, seth. >> what do we know about this suspect? >> here is a guy who came here at 16 years old on a tourist visa with his parents to visit orlando. just stayed and flew under the radar for years. a minor scrape with a marijuana arrest, a suspended driver's license. in 2010 he turns up in a meeting with an fbi source where they are talking about waging war against america. they are talking about bombs. from there he becomes a serious focus in a threat assessment role. what's his intent, his camability. >> does he have links to al qaeda or other terrorist organizations?
5:10 am
>> i think the rp the case went from 2010 to 2012 is they spent a great deal of time trying to learn about a wider network, other associates. he seemed to be the so-called lone wolf but bent on doing something himself. >> i watched your interview last night and you said you expected to see a lot of evidence in the case. why is that? >> the fbi realized early on when it's informants testifying and undercover agents there is a big defense that the defendant never would have been able to do this on his own. it was driven by the investigation. it becomes an entrapment defense. they find the more that's recorded and the more you see the defendant as a driver from one case to the next, the more juries reject that defense. >> on that point, if you look at this you think, how far would this guy have gotten? the fbi helped provide the vest,
5:11 am
helped provide the firearms. could he have done it on his own without that help? >> nobody knows the question unless you don't engage in the case. one of the tenets is if the person is talking about doing it, that's intent. if they are seeking capability, if they don't find it through the investigation they may find it somebody else. if you look at umar farouk abdulmutallab, he found real people. they designed a bomb for him and put him on an airplane. the same with the times square truck bomber. he connected with the right people, ended up in times square with a truck bomb. the fbi's practice is if we can find them before they find the real bad guys, let us replace that roll in and undercover capacity. >> thank you for joining us. >> good to be here. now to campaign 2012. former pennsylvania senator rick santorum is responding to remarks made by a wealthy
5:12 am
supporter. santorum picked up new support as he surges forward as the frontrunner status in the republican race. all this as michigan prepares to host the next presidential primary scheduled in just over a week. national correspondent chip reed is following the developments from our washington bureau. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. rick santorum is surging in the polls and many consider him the front-runner, but with that comes closer scrutiny, not just of him but his top fundraisers especially when they make bad jokes about birth control. rick santorum began his friday distancing himself from the controversial birth control comments of his benefactor foster fries. >> i'm not responsible for every comment that a supporter of mine makes. there are lots of folks who say it was a bad joke, a stupid joke. >> reporter: not long after fries apologized writing, my aspirin joke bombed. to all those who took my joke as
5:13 am
modern day approach, i apologize and seek your forgiveness. looking to change the subject santorum appeared with the ohio attorney general who switched his endorsement from romney to santorum. >> i believe that governor romney was the best candidate with the best chance to beat barack obama. i was wrong. >> reporter: stumping in idaho, mitt romney appeared worried about the santorum surge that he's finally taking off the gloves. >> i hope people take a close look at his record. >> reporter: portraying santorum as a big spender when he was in congress. >> he voted for billions in earmarks including the bridge to nowhere. >> america is drowning in national debt. >> reporter: and the first attack ad was released in michigan, a state where romney was, until recently, considered the favorite son. >> the romney campaign is planning to do to santorum what
5:14 am
they did to newt gingrich in florida, use the huge bank account to bury santorum in negative ads. >> thank you. with us now is republican congressman bill huizenga of michigan. thanks for being with us. >> my pleasure. good morning. >> you endorsed romney. he had a strong showing in 2008. what do you think has changed the tide for him here now that he is lagging santorum in the polls? >> it's statistically tied pretty much in michigan. it's a competitive year. it's a year that's been tough. it's been ebb and flow all over the place. each of the candidates has to make their case and work hard. i'm very confident that governor romney will win michigan. >> in the event that he doesn't, congressman, many analysts say michigan is critical. can romney recover from that? >> sure. i think he can. obviously if you look four years
5:15 am
ago while mitt won michigan, senator mccain ended up as the nominee. so you certainly can come back from those, but i think this is home turf for him. he doesn't want to lose this. we don't want to see it happen. as people try to make up their minds they will break toward governor romney. >> obviously the auto industry is one of the most important industries to michigan and to the country. romney put out a controversial op-ed in the wall street journal in 2008 saying let detroit go bankrupt. we had dan ackerson on the cbs evening news from general motors. he said without the bailout you could have written off general motors, the auto industry and the country. in hindsight do you think romney's position on the bailout was incorrect? >> no, i don't. if you look, it's much more
5:16 am
nuanced than what's being portrayed. and senator santorum yesterday at the detroit econ club said the same thing. the point is we could have and should have, in my opinion as well, gone through a structured, accelerated bankruptcy. that's what ended up happening. i believe the bailout is more nuanced in michigan than what is portrayed. i have a tremendous number of tier one, two, three automotive suppliers and they got the short end of the stick on a lot of deals. the belief that gm would have disappeared off the face of the earth if it wasn't for direct government intervention isn't necessarily one widely held within michigan. >> how much do you think that matters to voters in michigan? >> yeah, i think it matters quite a bit. as you're coming from a slightly different perspective, there is very much a perspective in southeast michigan and outstate michigan has a different one. it's certainly something that needs to be dealt with and
5:17 am
wrestled with. i think people are putting a shine on the apple that isn't quite as shiny as they would like it to be. >> congressman, we have to leave it there. we appreciate you being with us. >> thank you. at the vatican pope benedict elevateded 22 membership to the rank of cardinal. among them is archbishop timothy dolan of new york, already one of the most powerful leaders in the u.s. the occasion is over shadowed by difficult days ahead for the church. good morning, alan. >> reporter: good morning. the ceremony is the pope's way of putting his stamp on the future of the church. with considerably understatement given the pomp and color it's known as an ordinary public consistory but the circumstances are anything but ordinary. with the pope nearing his 85th birthday, the creation of 22 new princes of the church takes on
5:18 am
more significance than ceremony. the pope is slowing down and the vatican is reeling from what's dubbed vati-leaks. the primary job of the 125 cardinals under 80 is to choose a new pope. the italian media has been reporting jockeying for position among cardinals and supporters. the most prominent american to receive the red hat was timothy dolan of new york. a few days ago he said part of his new job as cardinal would be to convince the vatican that new york is not a neo soddam and gomorra. another is edwin o'brien from baltimore. the u.s. church needs all the prominence and influence it can get. settlements and payments of clerical sex abuse cases cost the church more than $3 billion and forced eight dioceses to
5:19 am
file for bankruptcy. and the church's exemptions from property taxes will end costing the vatican nearly $1 billion a year. while part of the job was to help him in guiding the church they must first be men of relinlen. given what's happening in the vatican they may be hard-pressed to separate the two. seth? >> thanks so much. now for the rest of the morning headlines we turn to cbs news correspondent and morning news anchor betty nguyen. good morning. >> good morning. italian police say they have cracked an international money scam and seized $6 trillion worth of fake united states b d bonds and securities. they were seized in switzerland in january. they were in three large trunks. eight italians were arrested. prosecutors say the suspects planned to use the bonds to
5:20 am
swindle money from swiss banks. in syria, thousands turned out this morning for the funerals of three young protesters. there are reports syrian security forces fired into a crowd to break it up, injuring at least four people. president al asad today denounced what he called efforts to divide his country. a chinese envoy arrived in syria and called for an end to the violence. last week china and russia vetoed a u.n. security council resolution calling on asad to step down. a member of the dutch royal family is in critical condition after a skiing accident. prince friso was buried in an avalanche and deprived of oxygen for 20 minutes. he was skiing off marked trails at the time. he is queen beatrix's second son. the queen has been with him since the accident. a huge oil refinery fire in
5:21 am
washington state is finally out. smoke could be seen for miles. the bp refinery is ten miles from the canadian border and is the third largest on the west coast. only one injury was reported. and johnson & johnson is recalling infant tylenol. the problem is with the packaging on all grape-flavored infant tylenol. new bottles were supposed to be making measuring doses a lot easier. well, that didn't work. the medicine is being described as safe though. it's 21 minutes past the hour. time to check in with lonnie quinn for a look at the weather this weekend. good morning. looks beautiful behind you. >> there you go. who needs a weather man with a shot like this? this is new york city, the sun has cracked the horizon. a beautiful shot. let me show you what i'm calling for. it all stacks up like this. the mississippi valley gets soaked today. a blanket of snow for the
5:22 am
northern rockies. but there's really no arctic air anywhere. the coldest spot anywhere this afternoon will be some random mountain peak in wyoming. you pick the mountain peak. you will have a cold 24 degrees. come on. 24 degrees in february is not so bad. this is the big weather maker. lots of rain around texas shooting toward the blue ridge mountains where it dumps snow and goes east tomorrow. here's a look at the weather for your weekend. wherever our you are, you make it a great looking saturday. over to you guys.
5:23 am
>> coming up, we have the epidemic of prescription drug abuse. what you should know before mixing your medications. >> and do you feel like homer simpson when you go to a meeting at work? why those meetings make us feel stupid and why they are bad for business. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday."
5:24 am
5:25 am
wills -- well, it is a crucial day in the trial of george huguely. jurors could begin deliberations as early as today. huguely is the university of virginia lacrosse player accused of killing his ex-girlfriend yeardley love two years ago. >> during the trial his lawyer played a tape of him walking hand in hand with love just one day before she was found dead. coming up, we'll explain why huguely's aunt took the stand and whether there is time for his family to help his defense. >> there have been multiple breaks in the trial. the attorney on the defense's side had to step out. she's been ill. the trial picks up again today. >> we'll have that coming up. >> we'll be right
5:26 am
5:27 am
so, seth, you raised an interesting question this morning. do meetings make you stupid? we could all talk about, oh, they might make you feel stupid but do they actually make you stupid? >> i don't know. we come into meetings with great ideas. you get there, people start talking and you go, well, maybe the idea isn't so great. it stifles some activity. >> your ideas are goorkd, it's everybody else. >> we're talking business meetings, not the boy scout meeting. >> you're okay with those. >> i work at wcbs monday through friday and i held a business
5:28 am
meeting this week. >> they let you do that there? >> wow. >> with my gang i wanted to go over, hey, we've going to do this quarterly, talk about concerns and implementing the data that comes in. >> you're corporate. >> euro a unifier. >> imagine me. >> bringing everyone together. >> at the helm of this thing. as i was talking to the weather producers and on-air people there was a sea of blank faces out there as i was talking. >> it was you. >> i was thinking, i thought i was good at this talking thing, but maybe not. >> maybe it's the meeting, not you. >> you do tend to go brain dead. >> also, turn down the heat is a good one. feed them. >> i don't know if it was a success or not, but we ended it by saying we'd do it every quarter. >> maybe you should rethink it. >> there is science behind it. we'll discuss it with an expert
5:29 am
in a little bit here. we'll see lonnie. laces? really? slip-on's the way to go. more people do that, security would be like -- there's no charge for the bag. thanks. i know a quiet little place where we can get some work done. there's a three-prong plug. i have club passes.

5:30 am
welcome to "cbs this morning saturday." i'm seth doane. >> i'm rebecca jarvis. coming up, it's not just celebrities falling victim to prescription drugs. why doctors say it is now an epidemic. >> plus they make you feel stupid, they may be a waste of time but your boss loves them. we'll tell you how much better off you are without meetings at work. >> it seems you have a problem with meetings. also, the new coffee shop trend. baby baby babycinos. >> oh, my gosh.
5:31 am
>> also in virginia this could be a big day in the trial of george huguely, the university of virginia lacrosse player accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend yeardley love in 2010. his lawyers could wrap up today sending the sensational case to the jury. whit johnson takes a look at the defense strategy. >> reporter: facing a life sentence it's down to the wire for george huguely's defense. on the stand friday huguely's aunt walked jurors through surveillance video from a restaurant the night before the murder. that's george, she said, and ja yeardley holding hands. prosecutors say less than 36 hours a drunken huguely barged into love's apartment in a jealous rage, bashing her head against the wall, leaving her dying in a pool of blood. huguely's attorney questioned a consultant who examined the sheet rock in love's bedroom. he said there was no evidence of
5:32 am
impact or indentations on the wall. the defense argues that night in 2010 weeks before graduation huguely wanted to talk, to work things out with his ex-girlfriend and love's death was an accident. the courtroom drama, however, doesn't end with the case itself. friday one of huguely's attorneys was out sick for a second day, delaying final testimony. still with the judge eager to wrap up the trial today he's ordering the defense to proceed. for "cbs this morning," whit johnson, washington. >> joining us now is jean casarez from "in session" on trutv. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> there have been a number of delays here given the defense falling ill. do you think that's part of the defense strategy or is it a legitimate thing? >> we heard yesterday in court the female defense attorney, was actually vomiting. i think she was very, very sick.
5:33 am
i think she wants to be at her best. she's got the medical witnesses. she's going to question the defense medical experts. that's a critical part of the defense case. i think they had to not have trial for the last two days. >> as far as the nonmedical witnesses who have taken the stand for the defense we heard from huguely's aunt who walked us through images and video of huguely and yeardley walking and going hand in hand, being happy. do you think that worked well with jurors. >> i think the defense -- do you realize that's the night before yeardley was killed? deceased. here is what the defense is doing. on friday, george huguely sent an e-mail to yeardley, so upset because she was seeing somebody else. he said, i should have killed you. but he ends by saying, let's just talk. saturday night, according to the video jurors saw they were at
5:34 am
the same function, holding hands. defense is trying to show this is not a killer. >> do you think george huguely's father will take the stand? >> there is a lot of speculation he will. now george huguely, senior, was with his son the entire sunday before george went to yeardley's apartment that night. he was drinking from early morning. now what is senior going to say? he may say, surprise to all, that he was drinking all day. why, rebecca? because here in virginia, it is a defense to premeditated murder. the defense may want to show george huguely was so intoxicated he couldn't form the intent to kill somebody. it's not a good thing but when facing premeditated first-degree murder maybe you want to say he was so drunk he couldn't have intended to kill her. >> showing a flaw in his character something he did that day gets him off charges of being a murderer.
5:35 am
>> yes. >> go ahead. >> yeah. the defense said from the beginning, a man has harmed a woman here. they are contesting that he intended to kill her and he caused her death. >> we have also heard from some of huguely's lacrosse teammates saying he lied about his whereabouts on the night of yeardley's death. how is that factors into this? >> it's good for the commonwealth because there were inconsistencies. he lied. he knew what he had done to her. he didn't want to tell the truth to authorities. that's going to weigh in the favor of the prosecution. >> jean casarez, we appreciate you being with us. thank you. >> thank you. >> now to lonnie quinn with another check of the day's weather. >> good morning, everybody. these are the weather headlines. this is what i've got for you this morning. it's not that cold for february anywhere in the country. there is a big storm in texas which would mean rain for some of you, snow for others.
5:36 am
let's spell it out. this is what it looks like on satellite and radar. the first place your eye goes is the storm in texas. you can see it moving to the northeast. that will change. the rain will be anywhere from houston going to shreveport, louisiana, mobile. two, three inches or more. flood alerts will stay in effect throughout the day. then into the midatlantic tomorrow. this is where we see snow. most areas from charleston to bowling green to lynchburg, virginia, with three to five inches of snow. but the higher peaks in west virginia and kentucky could see six to ten inches of snow out of the system. then it go into the atlantic ocean staying south of philadelphia and north of that.
5:37 am
make it a great day. seth, for those of us in new york city, it's another near miss with a snowstorm that's not >> no snow event. >> no snow event, you got it. >> these tiny snow events that keep happening. up next, could whitney houston's death have been prevented? dr. travis stork from "the doctors" will talk about the dangers of abusing prescription drugs. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." when it comes to paint... ...there's one brand that always tops the charts. so let's grab a few of those gallons- at a price that's now even lower.

5:41 am
dr. travis stork of "the doctors" is in los angeles. good morning, travis. >> reporter: good mornin >> good morning. thanks for having me. >> we have seen cases of prescription drug abuse with other celebrities. folks like heath ledger, anna nicole smith. people with some of the best access to doctors. why is this happening? >> first of all, i want to acknowledge that it's not always prescription drug abuse per se. what's really interesting is a lot of prescription medicines out there can have similar effects on the body. and prescription painkillers, prescription anxiety medicines, they all have a similar effect on the body. not only can they calm you down, decrease pain, but they can decrease your desire to breathe. the problem is a lot of people start mixing and matching medicines that they have gotten from different doctors. when that occurs and you add things like alcohol into the mix, you can unexpectedly take an overdose and it can truly be
5:42 am
accidental. there are two sides of the story. one is true abuse and the other is at time it is accidental mixing of medicines that can be detrimental to your health and in some cases deadly. >> given how common the accidental overdoses are do you think doctors are being vocal enough about the issues that patients may face knowing that the drugs may be different from the drugs that another doctor is prescribing? >> i will say this. we are getting better and better. this is a major problem. in the last decade the number of deaths from prescription painkillers has more than tripled. there are more deaths each and every year from prescription medicines than from cocaine, methamphetamine and amphetamines combined. what that means is not only are the prescription painkillers addictive -- or can be -- but they are powerful. they are potent. at times that's a good thing. we're trying to treat pain, but
5:43 am
the one good thing i will say is especially over the last year, more and more states -- 48 states now have prescription drug monitoring systems. in the past, someone could say, hey, dr. stork, you know, i need a prescription for this pain medication. i haven't had it filled in months. i would have no idea if that was true or not. now we can look online, see when the last prescription was filled and figure out if someone has too many prescriptions out there that could cause some of these effects. >> does that rely on the patient doing that or should doctors do that? how should patients handle this? what if the doctor doesn't check? >> well, you have to understand that there is a mass market out there for prescription pain medicines. they are very addictive. doctors now have additional tools at our disposal to make sure patients aren't putting themselves in jeopardy. what can a patient do? if you are listening to your doctor's advice, very unlikely you will suffer from the ill

5:48 am
especially women, appear less intelligent than they are. >> is this good for the company? >> reporter: who among us hasn't suffered through the pointless and endless meeting. >> oh, and remember next friday is hawaiian shirt day. >> reporter: you know the one. they start late and waste valuable time, keeping you from doing more important things like getting your work done. >> what do we have here? we have -- somebody put a piece of gum in there. this is not a garbage can. this is the future of our company. >> reporter: now a study done by the virginia tech research institute tells us that people may actually be more productive working alone and that meetings can make us dumber. >> i think i feel dumb leaving meetings 50% of the time. that's the state we're in. >> yes? yes? >> i don't get it.
5:49 am
>> reporter: listen to what reed montague said. you may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest they make you act brain dead as well. >> there is so much information given. so you go into a meeting feeling like you know certain things and you come out feeling, gee, i didn't know as much as i thought i did. >> reporter: apparently the group settings diminish expressions of intelligence, especially among women. >> i have no idea what they mean, so i leave, google it, get up to speed and at least feel i can contribute next time. during the meeting, definitely very silly. >> leave and google. >> exactly. i would google during the meeting. lots of meetings went into the planning of this segment. stay tuned. >> bob rosner is a workplace expert and author of "the boss's survival guide." good morning. >> good morning. >> the big question is do meetings make us stupid?
5:50 am
>> of course. when i think of meetings i think of a pinata. you can't bash them enough. everybody hates them. you feel like a pinata when you attend one. meetings are a problem. on paper they make sense. bring people together, collaboration. the reality is not that. they are a waste of time. >> i find it interesting in the study that women are more impacted by meetings than men. >> women need connection and trust. the problem with meetings is they don't provide that, they damage it. to me, if you want to connect -- guys like a competitive environment. they're built differently. >> i would say there are women who like a competitive environment, too. >> on average, let's say. but to me connection and trust are keys and we forget that. >> yeah. >> what can happen to make a meeting more productive, to get more out of a meeting if you have to have one. >> a guy wrote to me a while ago. he said his boss got up and said, we are going to keep
5:51 am
having meetings until i figure out why nothing is getting done around here. on average we attend 62 meetings a month and half are wasted. the issue is efficiency versus effectiveness. we try to be more efficient we get less effective. that's the difficult balance of meetings. >> what about the composition of the meeting -- who attends it and what their roles are in the meeting. >> a lot of it isn't defined before the meeting. i have a client and they run the best meetings. i wanted to figure out what they were doing right. i came up with the four p's. first, preparation. they prepare before the meetings. second, purpose. go around the table and everybody knows the purpose of the meeting. participation is another key. if people are in the room they should be participating. if not, why are they there? you have to get everybody involved. and you need a plan moving forward. you can run an effective meeting using the four p's. i just made it up for you. >> meetings can be good.
5:52 am
>> they can work. >> some of the trends i love. there is a trend now of stand-up meetings and they find they are 30% shorter and they cover the same amount of ground. then there are topless meetings -- not what you think. you can't bring electronics in. >> no googling. that's a problem for rebecca. >> they are the most effective meetings. >> thank you, bob. for a guide to running productive, fun meetings go to cbsmoneywatch.com. up next, raising eyebrows at the coffee shop. they are called babycinos. that and other stories behind the headlines. t's like when my tempurpedic moves?

6:10 am

6:11 am
he has a big heart. >> huge heart. >> yes. >> how harold was it in your position to have to deal with that rejection over and over again and keep the trust in yourself? >> it comes down to believing in yourself, knowing that, hey, if i get the opportunity i'm going to make the most of it. i can see it in him. obviously a very intelligent young man going to harvard. that don't make you a great basketball player. he has a great basketball i.q. and a big way of going out there and playing in big moments obviously against toronto where he called off a pick, i've got this. everybody calm down. and he knocked down the shot to win the game. >> i see you light up when you talk about his story. >> mm-hmm. >> does this help you relive some of the magic you were able to create in the '90s? >> it does. you can see in the garden now the excitement the back. fans are piling in before pregame. it didn't used to be that way.
6:12 am
for us it was that way all the time. but the excitement of just the start of the game to the end. it creates so much belief that the team has the opportunity now. >> it's a great sentiment. you continue to work with the knicks as an ambassador. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> coming up next, some have called him the last great american hero. celebrating the 50th anniversary of john glenn and his historic orbit of the earth. you're watching "cbs this morning saturday." hey you.

6:16 am
>> liftoff. >> reporter: 50 years ago on february 20, 1962, a spacecraft ventured out into earth's orbit and america held its breath. the soviet union had been the first country to send a man into space and the united states was playing catchup. the man nasa chose to make that historic first orbit was john glenn. >> it was a time when people, i think, were looking for something to hang on to that we were really on the way back and we were competitive. >> reporter: tom wolf, author of "the right stuff" says at the time of the mission americans feared the soviets would wage war from space. >> lyndon johnson says whoever controls the high ground of space controls the earth. >> reporter: glenn completed three orbits around the earth during a four hour, 56-minute flight and brought back hope with the spacecraft, becoming a national hero, even if he never saw himself that way. >> i was still basically the
6:17 am
same person i was before the flight, in my own eyes. >> reporter: glenn later retired to become a u.s. senator. he always wanted to return to space and finally did in 1998 on the space shuttle "discovery" at the age of 77. >> finally got the next flight 36 years later. >> reporter: some years, glenn says, he and his wife of 69 years, annie, have forgotten to commemorate the anniversary of his historic mission but this monday at 9:47 a.m. on the 50th anniversary he'll remember the flight that made him one of america's greatest heroes. for "cbs this morning saturday," anna werner, dallas. >> joining us now is captain scott altman, a veteran of four space flights who has logged over 51 days in space. good morning. thanks for joining us. >> good morning. great to be here. >> while we were running the piece you mentioned history. he had to try several times. >> just like a lot of shuttle

6:19 am
skits that the junior class does for the office at christmas time. planning to stow away on the space shuttle. he was hilarious. >> can you give me an idea what it's like to be in outer space? >> it's an incredible perspective. just so different from everything we are used to. as you launch you're sitting on the pad, waiting there for hours while they get ready to launch and you feel almost like you're in a simulator again until the clock counts down. the main engines start going. zero to solid rocket booster let off. and then boom! no doubt in your mind you are not in a simulator and you're going somewhere. zero g and orbit in eight and a half minutes. >> with the end of the shuttle program, years until commercial space program, where do you see it? >> we're at a crossroads. the shuttle was a great program.

6:44 am
and what that feels like. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms... by keeping my airways open a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. and it's steroid-free. spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can reverse copd. spiriva helps me breathe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down? ask your doctor if spiriva can help. what if the first step on that road is a bowl of soup?
