more importantly, happy birthday. >> happy birthday. it's great to start the new year with us together but really great for your birthday. i'm so excited for you. and bradley cooper. >> indeed. >> i don't know seems there should be a party somewhere. >> about the same age. >> you both look great. we begin with an astounding story of survival and endurance. a 7-year-old girl was the only one left alive after a plane crash in kentucky. she walked near l nearly a mile through the woods in her bare feet to get help. >> this morning, officials can't say enough about her bravery. adriana diaz is in kentucky near the scene of friday night's crash. adriana, good morning. >> good morning. and good morning to our viewers in the west. these are the woods that 7-year-old sailor gutzler went through to find help. she was alone and in the pitch dark. this is the mangled wreckage site 7-year-old sailor gutzler managed to walk away from alive. after the plane she was riding

in crashed, killing her father, a former commercial pilot who was at the controls, her mother kim, 9-year-old sister piper, and 14-year-old cousin sierra wilder. >> she believed that her family was deceased but she hoped that they were just sleeping. >> reporter: kentucky authorities say sailor used her noninjured arm to free herself, wearing just shorts and a t-shirt she trekked nearly a mile through a heavily wooded area barefoot in near freezing temperatures. >> she navigated briars and bushes. she navigated significant ditch lines in order to receive assistance for her family. >> reporter: eventually the second grader spotted this porch light. 71-year-old larry wilkins answered the door. >> i seen a bloodied little girl with tears in her eyes, lips trembling. >> reporter: sailor was taken to a nearby hospital where she was treated for a broken wrist

before being released to a relative. what did she say to you before she got in the ambulance? >> i can't talk about that. she wanted me to go with her because -- she didn't know anybody else. >> sunday they removed what was left of the aircraft. sailor's eyewitness account will likely be key to finding out exactly what went wrong. >> what do you think brought her to your door? >> i think the good lord had something to do with it, you know, and i think he's probably got plans for her. the bravest kid i've ever seen in my life. >> we spoke to the family of 14-year-old sierra wilder who was killed in the crash. in a statement to cbs news her mother said my baby girl was the sweetest kindest person you will ever come across. words cannot express how much she is missed now and forever. >> we have to stop for just a second. that's the most amazing story. and the little shirt she was wearing. what did it say? >> it said you can't stop me.

>> you can't stop me. we are all pulling for her. thank you. many of you in the pacific northwest are dealing with heavy wind and rain. power outages, mudslides and flooding reported around western washington. millions of people across the country are preparing for the coldest air of the season. the northern half of the country will face the brunt of the freezing weather. snow is possible along a 2,000-mile stretch. >> brutal windchills made it worse. parts of minnesota felt like 40 degrees below zero. you can see the steam rising above lake superior this weekend. it was so cold several minnesota ski resorts closed. we have been tracking this whole storm system. boy, it's cold out. >> good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. a brutally cold start to 2015 for much of the northern plains and the midwest today. we're looking at the northern half of the u.s. either dealing with snow or cold or both. windchills could drop to 50

below for parts of the northern plains this morning. more than 6 inches of snow is possible as a clipper system moves from the northern plains through to the east coast. in the west, it's all about a storm system bringing possibly heavy rain and high mountain snows that will also create an avalanche risk across parts of the cascades in the beginning of this week. 52 in seattle today. 77 in los angeles. about 62 in los angeles. while the coldest air of the season settles in in the east we'll get warmer than average temperatures in the west this week. charlie. >> megan, thanks. jury selection begins this morning in the boston marathon bombing trial. nearly two years after the attack. dzhokhar tsarnaev is accused of being involved in the plot that killed three and injured more than 260 others. don dahler is at the federal courthouse in boston where it may take weeks to pick jurors. don, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, and good morning to our viewers in the west. it might take that long to seat a jury because this is a death penalty case in a state that traditionally opposes the death

penalty. clark and her team's attorneys are considered all-stars, experts at keeping their clients off death row. dzhokhar tsarnaev faces dozens of charges ranging from four counts of murder to using a weapon of mass destruction. the evidence against him includes eyewitnesses and surveillance video which allegedly put him and his brother at the scene. forensic evidence as well as statements which prosecutors say implicate him. the defense has implied in court documents and motions it plans to show tsarnaev was under the psychological control of his older brother tamerlan. cbs legal analyst rikki klieman. >> what this defense wants to show is whether or not this was a young man who was influenced and under the influence of his older brother who was the mastermind. >> reporter: lead defensive attorney judy clark will also look to spare dzhokhar tsarnaev's life. she has defended high-profile

people in the past like the unabomber, ted kaczynski, olympic bomber eric rudolph and jared lautner. all were found guilty but all were kept off death row. >> the defense team is looking for one thing only here and that is to save his life. it's not a question of whether he will be proven guilty or found not guilty. they are looking to avoid the death penalty. >> reporter: under orders from attorney general eric holder, the 21-year-old has been held in total isolation in a medical prison facility north of boston. he has limited access to news and mail is fed through a slit in his door and his weekly visits by family members are monitored by the fbi. many of those who survived the bombing see this trial as an opportunity to add some closure. heather abbott plans to be in the courtroom. >> i think it will be a milestone to have it, you know be put in the past and kind of able to move on. >> reporter: the defense team

has objected to those restrictions imposed by eric holder. they say they haven't been able to mount a defense because of the involvement of the fbi. they have also applied for a change of venue numerous times. judge george o'toole has denied those requests. >> don, thank you. alleged cop killer eric frein arrived at a courthouse in pennsylvania this morning. today's preliminary hearing comes about two members after he was captured at the end of a lengthy manhunt. prosecutors say the 31-year-old ambushed a state police trooper. outside police barracks in september. frein was caught in october. today's hearing could shed light on his alleged confession right after his arrest. new york city said farewell and thank you sunday to police officer wenjian liu. his funeral came more than two weeks after liu and his partner were murdered in their patrol car. once again, many mourners in uniform used the occasion to show their anger toward mayor bill de blasio. elaine quijano is outside the funeral home in brooklyn that held the service. elaine, good morning. >> reporter: good morning.

the funeral held here was the first to be held for a chinese-american nypd officer killed in the line of duty, but as with the services for officer rafael ramos last week, tension between the police and the mayor bubbled over. they came by the thousands, officers from across the city and the country standing in the rain to honor wenjian liu. for the second time in eight days, the new york police department said good-bye to one of their own. mayor bill de blasio praised liu as a good man. >> he walked a path of courage, a path of sacrifice, and a path of kindness. this is who he was. >> reporter: but as he spoke, some police officers outside the funeral home turned their backs. a thick blue line of discontent, ignoring a warning issued by

nypd commissioner william bratton. a hero's funeral is about grieving, not grievance, bratton wrote in a memo. when you don the uniform of this department, you are bound by the tradition, honor and decency that goes with it. retired nypd officer walter litty says police are united by a special brotherhood. >> when you feel that you don't have the support of the people that really should have your backs, the people in government, that bond gets that much stronger. >> not every officer took part in the snub but the scene was similar to one last weekend at the funeral of liu's partner rafael ramos. there was hope it would be different this time. on saturday officers actually saluted de blasio during li u's wake. on sunday liu's widow was presented with the nypd flag just three months after their wedding. she spoke through tears. >> we loved you. i loved you. i will forever love you.

>> she called him her best friend and said he took pride in being an nypd police officer. liu's father said he called him every day at the end of his shift to say that he was okay. liu was honored with a service that blended nypd tradition and buddhist custom. >> all right, elaine, thank you so much. the search is intensifying this morning to find the black boxes from air asia 8501 eight days after the crash. ships and searchers from other countries are combing the sea. allen pizzey is monitoring the search from a command center in surabaya, indonesia. allen, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. an indonesian navy captain said he was confident his ship had contacted the section where the

black boxes may have been. but none were found and there was no ping. ships with special equipment for detecting their telltale pings are scanning the area where five plarge pieces of wreckage were detected over the weekend. "uss ft. worth" is equipped with what's called towfish sonar. >> it gives us an image on the sea bottom. we can find something as small as a golf ball or as big as an airplane. >> reporter: the hunt for bodies and debris on the surface has been winded to account for an eastward current. a royal malaysia navy ship collected a bag with shoes and a pair of glasses, poignant reminders that nearly 130 people are still missing. the bodies and debris recovered so far have not had any burn marks, which aviation experts say rules out an on-board explosion, leaving the options of a catastrophic nose-dive or an attempt to belly land on the sea during bad weather. an agency has concluded that icing caused by a storm the plane couldn't avoid was a triggering factor in the

december 28th crash. that matters little in a special mourning area where families wait to bury their dead. the signs are messages of respect, the equivalent of tributes on an obituary page. limantara was 30 years old. she was going on holiday with her father. he hasn't been found yet. in the latest twist of controversy on whether the air asia flight was operating illegally, the transport said it was suspending the operator of the airport from where the flight took off. gayle? >> thank you, allen. some high-profile playoff matches are set this morning for the nfl. referees called pass interference on dallas but then for some reason that penalty just went away. detroit had to punt instead of getting first down. the cowboys went on to win that one 24-20. there were a whole lot of questions after that game. the officials finally said that the interference call was wrong and they should have explained that one on the field.

>> mm. so here are the matchups this weekend. baltimore plays at new england saturday. while carolina goes to seattle. then on sunday dallas visits green bay. and indianapolis takes on denver. you can see that game right here on cbs. >> meanwhile carolina's head coach has other problems to think about. ron rivera's home in charlotte caught fire this morning. it took firefighters an hour to control the flames. no injuries are reported. and this morning fans from lebron james to president obama are mourning the loss of stuart scott. the longtime espn anchor died yesterday after a seven-year battle with cancer. he was only 49 years old. espn "sportscenter" honored scott last night by leaving his usual chair empty. scotts was a ground breaking personality on a cable network that changed american sports. >> hi, again. thanks for letting "sportscenter" flow. kicking it with linda kohn. i am stuart scott. >> reporter: he was a pioneer in sports broadcasting with the style and flavor all his own.

>> sammy sosa, boo-yah. >> reporter: his catch phrases and energy endured him to a legion of fans impacting both an industry and generation of sports fanatics. >> lebron james, as cool as the other side of the pillow. >> reporter: he got his broadcasting start on local tv in the south. >> but johnson has an answer to fighting crime. he calls it good will. >> reporter: in 1993 scott joined espn and shortly thereafter became a must-see fixture on espn's flagship program "sportscenter." alongside co-anchor rich eisen. >> call konerko butter because he is on a roll. >> reporter: scott was diagnosed with cancer in 2007. the disease went into remission only to later return. he fought and he worked up until the very end. >> i cannot believe i'm sitting here on television reporting to you the news that i heard about ten minutes ago. that stuart scott died. i loved this man.

i still love this man. and the fact that he has passed away is absolutely mind-boggling. >> reporter: scott's death was immediately felt throughout the sports world. >> today we choose not to say that stuart lost to cancer at the age of 49. instead we'll simply say that we all lost stuart. >> and he won't even know this. he was a role model for me and hundreds of other african-american journalists/athletes now who want to be legitimate. >> reporter: stuart will forever be remembered as a trailblazing professional with a remarkable enthusiasm for the craft he dedicated his life to and as a loving father. >> when you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. you beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner

in which you live. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," james brown, washington. >> he sounds like somebody you wish you knew. >> yes, he was just awesome. the love of his children and his job. was just infectious. and his saying like gravy on a biscuit, it's all good. he will be so missed. >> he called his daughters his heartbeat. it is 7:19. ahead, a wealthy new york neighborhood rocked by a deadly shooting. the victim is a $200 million hedge fund manager. what police and neighbors are good morning, we are off to a clear but cool start. cleat take a look at some of the numbers around the bay area as you head out the door. 39 in fremont, 49 in san francisco, 45 degrees in red wood city. going to be warmer today. look at this afternoon high, 65 in red wood city, 60 degrees in vallejo and 62 degrees in concord. warmer still tomorrow with the clouds and cooler weather returning thursday through the weekend.

to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem that doesn't require regular blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. gps: proceed to the designated route. not today. for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. don't stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban, unless your doctor tells you to. while taking xarelto®, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding

if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious bleeding and in rare cases, may be fatal. get help right away if you develop unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto® watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once-a-day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring, no known dietary restrictions. for information and savings options, download the xarelto® patient center app call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. if you have medicare part d, walgreens gets that you might be at the corner of "looking for a good deal" and "sheesh, i wish i'd looked some more." that's why walgreens makes it

we showed you earlier the ♪ we showed you earlier the fallout from the nfl's legal battle over head injuries. this morning there is new information on kids and concussions. a study out today in the journal of pediatrics concludes strict rest for five days after a concussion does not improve recovery. jan crawford looked at this issue for us back in october. >> while doctors recommend immediately removing kids from play if they sustained a concussion, studied indicate long periods of rest increasingly recommended, can mimic and prolong concussion symptoms. >> you're saying that message is not necessarily based on anything. >> right.

and it's potentially counterproductive. it's not just that we don't have data to support it. there's some data that suggests it may be counterproductive or harmful. >> our dr. holly phillips joins us at the table. hello, holly. it does seem counterintuitive. >> some rest is absolutely critical after having a concussion. but the study shows more rest is not necessarily better. they basically took two groups of teens. kids 11 to 22 years old. and one group followed the standard protocol which is to rest for 24 to 48 hours before going back to gradually introducing your regular activity. the other group rested for five days. and they didn't do any better. in terms of balance, cognitive impairment. and even symptoms. in fact, they reported more symptoms.

symptoms. >> not only they didn't do better. counterproductive. >> right. right. >> what is it that causes you to have rest contributive to your symptoms? >> the study couldn't identify exactly why. if kids feel daebilitated, five days of rest they're more likely to focus on their symptoms. if you're in bed for five days you feel weak. you feel headachy and dizzy. being in bed can cause some symptoms as well. this is fascinating because i have a girl whose son was playing basketball. he was hit on the head by an elbow. he had to stay in his room for over a week with all the lights down or whatever. that's been prescribed for many kids with concussions. there could be fizz lodgebacklash. >> each concussion is different. in some cases they may need more rest. in general, 24 to 48 hours of

rest to prevent serious complications. you can have a concussion and get hit in the head again you can suffer life threatening brain swelling. >> what's your bottom line message? >> the bottom line message is to take the concussions seriously. figure out how much rest the child should have. it can vary. more rest isn't necessarily better. >> really important information. thank you so much. dr. holly phillips. thank you. coming up a british couple stranded from new york after the premature birth of their baby gets another big sur prize. why they no longer face a huge financial burden. and tomorrow on cbs this morning, the youngest woman ever elected to congress. we sit down with representative who is just 30 years old. that's tomorrow. you're watching cbs this morning. this portion of "cbs this morning" sponsored by safelite auto glass. call or go online at

it was supposed to be a quick holiday visit to new york but last week it turned into a medical adventure when katy gave birth to her child three months early. michelle miller is here to tell us why the surprise birth was also a huge financial burden on the couple.

>> boy was it. katy was unaccustomed to american hospitals and health care. she worried that she and her fiance would be stuck with bills they couldn't afford and while they do have to manage the expense of living in new york for the next few months, one thing they don't have to worry about, the hospital bills. british couple lee johnson and katy amos thought a quick trip across the pond between christmas and new year's would be a piece of cake. pregnant with her first child she was beginning her third trimester. three days into their trip and on a tour of manhattan central park katy suddenly went into labor 11 weeks early. the couple headed to lenox hill hospital on new york's upper east side. >> at what point did it dawn on you i might be in a pickle. >> i looked at you and i said maybe these are contractions and you look at me and said really?

that's when. when i went to the hospital and i was laid out on the bed and they were checking me and they were like, yeah, you're dilating, and i'm like i'm having a baby in new york. >> katy delivered baby dax, all 3 pounds 4 ounces of him and they rushed him to the neonatal care unit. >> i said i want to go home. they said you're not going home. >> nearly three months early dax has to develop under the supervision of doctors and that could take time according to amy marshal, the manager of nicu. >> before he goes home he has to get bigger, get off any respiratory support and eat on his own. >> that could be march. >> katy and lee are both self-employed personal trainers with no money coming in. lisa, a nurse navigator has helped to guide the couple giving birth in new york. >> this is quite supreme.

she's 29 pregnant, and lives out of the country. >> reporter: back home a friend created a facebook page for dax and started a crowd funding. it was said the hospital accepts the health coverage. >> we're going to sep what insurance would pay. other than that there's not going to be any out of pocket for them because we need to except what their insurance will help. >> through british health insurance and travel insurance, it's now not the medical bills giving the couple pause, rather the living in new york. lennox hospital helped them secure housing ape long with bassics. >> i myself went to the apartment and got clothesing fehr her because i knew she didn't have anything and we're about the same size. unfortunately he's not the same side so i could. get him any clothes. >> they've already been through

city subway why many women want men to mind the gap. plus it my be the biggest trend in 2015. take break from your gadgets. nicholas thompson is in studio 57. he shows us how to resist the urge to text tweet, and be glued to facebook. that's ahead. right now it's time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe. britain's "guardian" says it's denouncing for the first time that prince andrew had sex with an underaged girl. this case is part of a lawsuit against multimillnary investor jeffrey epstein. prince andrew is not charged. cleveland's "the plain dealer" says they report lid want to make wearing a hoodie in public a crime. they want to help victims of armed robbery. it would include a fine of up to $5,000 and a year in jail.

and "usa today" says mark zuckerberg who wear as hoodie wants to start a book club. he wreeftsites a post my challenge is to read a book a month. the first selection is the end of power by moses nine. >> oprah, watch out. book club. >> book club. you know that's great goal to try to read a new book every other week and try to keep pace. not. america just starting year two of obamacare. the government says more than 6.5 million people signed up for coverage through the federal website. coverage is expanding and so are costs. the deductible for the least expensive plan is $100 higher than last year and the average premium for the higher rose 3%. meanwhile a gallup poll found americans delayed medical treatment because of the cost.

steven brill has spent years discovering it. his new book is "america's bitter pill." steven brill is with us this morning. steven, good morning. >> good morning. >> so the president promised not only would health care be more accessible but it would also be more affordable. is that true? >> it's certainly more accessible to tens of millions of americans and it's more affordable to them because they're getting their insurance premiums paid for in large part by the government. so it's certainly not more affordable for the tax pairs. we basically have created a system where the good news is that many more people get the kind of health care you and i get. the bad news is that the taxpayers are paying for it and they're paying the sameexorbitant prices. >> you know the main question is

the cost. >> the cost. >> did obama do anything to bring down the cost? >> no. as i recount in the book, at every turn when they try to do something substantive to brick the cost down such as control the price of drugs, deal with the exorbitant non-profit hospital high profits, they were stopped by the lobbyists. and the best test of all this is the only way that a bill this big will pass in washington is if the powers that be decided that it should pass. so the drug companies are making more money, the hospitals, the medical disease makers are making more money and everybody is happy except the taxpayer. >> but is it what the president said it was going to be or are you saying no it's not. it's his fault in terms of lobbyists and others? >> the president said two things. more people would have access to health care. >> and they do. >> and they do.

the president said it would bring down the cost of health care and it does not. >> is it because of the legislation or something else? >> it's balls of the legislation. there's nothing in the legislation that brings down the health care. >> what you experienced and how that was an insight into what's going on. is what's wrong with the cost -- i mean what are the things that you discovering that we're paying a lot more for than we should be paying for? >> we're paying a lot more for everything because we have this naive assumption that health care can be a marketplace when every one of us who's sitting here knows that when we're sick, we're not a santa barbaray consumer of health care. we have no idea what we're buying. we have no idea what the cost is going to be. we have no control over those costs. and the only thing we know is we're scared and we want to get better. >> you open your book that way actually, stephen. here you are in the middle of open heart surgery while you're working on this book. so you really have a very unique

perspective. your bill came to close to $200,000 after eight days. tell us the per spelkts tib of being on the other side and trying to get great health care. >> what i learned is i didn't care about the cost at the moment i was lying on the gurney and nobody would. you'll beg, borrow, steal whatever you have to to get yourself healthy or your loved one healthy. what i also learned is insurance companies get very little leverage. my insurance company got the 12% discount formy $190,000. what i also learned was it didn't matter that much to me because i have the means to satisfy the deductible that i have to pay and after that, you know, the whole thing was free. >> you have gramt moment where you go to the head of the hospital to explain it and even he could. explain it to you. >> this is just how emblematic

how screwed up the system is. here is the largest sex tore of our economy. i got an explanation of benefits. everybody watching gets app explanation of benefits from the insurance company and i happened to be interviewing the ceo of health care and i asked him to explain it to me because it said the amount billed was zero but i owed $54. he looked at it all day and said i could explain it to you. >> i said well aren't you they? >> >>ern at home wants to know. they're frustrated by the system. how can it get better? >> it has to get better -- it can only get better when people decide that as health care consumers and as tax pairs they're not going to let the lobbyists in washington for the hospital industry, for the drug

industry, for the medical device industry have their way. that's a difficult thing. this book is really about how this country doesn't work and it uses the largest and most screwed up industry in the country to illustrate that we can't do the nation's business in washington. >> the health care division which is 1/6 of our economy? >> 1/6. it's about the size of france. it's not going to work until we rise up and do something about it. >> when you speak up something happens. >> thank you so much. >> thanking for having me. we'll find out more on "60 minutes." how it helped shape affordable health care act. that's right hero on "60 minutes" right here on cbs. here's an interesting question. does your commute involve a bus or train? you'll see one guy taking up two

spreading a personal mission. >> i guess you would call it subway shaming is what my friends accuse me of doing. >> three years ago she started taking pictures of people mostly men spreading out posting them on twitter. >> i spend a lot of time commuting back and forth and there was so much of it on these crowded trains that i just started taking pictures mostly because they wouldn't move for people or allow other people to sit down. >> kelly says man spreading comes in many different forms. the hard day at work man spread. the multiman suppresser, even the i'm giving my reindeer a break. there's one where cats are superimposed between men's wide open space that it gets hot on the train. i need a little room. >> a little more comfortable. >> some were a little shy talking after getting caught in the act.

>> but what you've heard? >> the anatomy. >> for lack of a better word it can be an announce. >> for the first time the metropolitan transportation authority, the largest organizationorg organization is asking men to mind the gap. in a new campaign launching this month they're putting up posters to remind others to be more considerate of others including stopping the spread. >> all it takes is a guy to kind of just squeeze in a little bit more and let that other person sit down. it's something we want to see happen. >> subway ridership has doubled in the last 36 years with millions hopping aboard daily meaning more crowding and less space and while some call the

campaign anti-male. kelly applauds the mta for better etiquette. >> this is just a campaign asking people to be more considerate and if you want to be anti-considerate of more people, maybe there's bagger thaish you should look at as a human being. >> this movement against man spreading is going global with cities like chicago, lebanon, and chicago. guys it's not just you. females, there's a female equipment, bag spreading. >> i'm guilty of that. >> it's so propose. i love the part where they said men just need more rim. charlie, do men need more room? >> no. >> no. >> all you have to do is be polite. >> we cogo so many places with

don't check it when you go to bed or get up. use a watch. >> a watch. what a novel thing. >> we used to wear those in the '8 '70s and '80s. >> another cool thing is set up special rings for different people. there are a bunch of thing use can do to your devices to make them less annoying. >> what's the most we should look forward to? >> of the new technology coming? >> right. >> the biggest product is apple's smart write. and the biggest change will be the connection of devices inside of our homes as our refrigerator becomes smarter. >> nick thompson thank you so much. good to see you. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back.
