a whole lot spaurl after a major government bailout and restructuring. cbs news business and economic correspondent rebecca jarvis is at the new york stock exchange this morning. good morning. >> good morning. what. >> what a difference a year and a half makes. were you there for the initial bankruptcy hearings and 17 months later gm is traded publicly again, significant on so many fronts, reb kanchts a major milestone both for general motors as well as for the kun he tree. remember, lass than two years ago general motors was on the verge of collapse. literally, hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs in this country were potentially going to go away. the government at the time stepped in with a $50 billion low, a very controversial decision at the time, to save the struggling automaker. and today it's sort of a major milestone in that story in that general motors will be going public. its shares will begin trading here at the new york stock exchange at $33 apiece. they are expected to raise about $23 billion overall in the transaction. that will help pay back our

taxpayer stake in the company to the tune of about half. so, we'll basically get about half of our investments, our initial $50 billion. >> which is great. i think it may be an incentive for consumers turned off by the government ownership to invest in the brand again, which will take to keep gm successful. >> such a good point. not only what is happening today important but the future of this company stock prices important. right now today, the stock debuts, like i said, at $33 a share but it's significant because it has to continue to climb in order to make back all of our investment. in fact, we have to basically get $44 a share for every share of general motors in order to get back that entire $50 billion. there has been a lot of excitement of course here at the new york stock exchange and around the world to invest in this transaction. >> we will watch it closely. thank you, rebecca. 7:03. harry. >> now alaska's historic senate

race with just a handful of votes left to be counted, alaska senator lisa murkowski says she has won a new term. that would be a significant loss for sarah palin who tried to knock out her opponent and failed. before we speak with the senator let's get to the story from capitol hill, cbs news congressional correspondent nancy cordes there with the latest. nancy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, hair he ree. this was a huge uphill battle for lisa murkowski, who was urged by republican leaders not to wage this campaign after she lost her primary bid. she had to convince alaska scl voters to write in her name, in huge numbers. and it appears she was successful. >> and so, today, my friends, my campaign for alaska's future begins. >> reporter: it was a risky bid and the risk paid off. the last successful senate write-in campaign was more than 50 years ago. but wednesday senator lisa

murkowski announced she'd done it. >> we did it, we made history. alaskans made history. >> reporter: with just 750 ballots left to count, murkowski is leading her gop rival tea party enthusiast joe miller by more than 10,000 votes. miller is challenging more than 8,000 of those votes, especially ones that are misspelled the but that still gives murkowski a 2000-vote lead. he may be trailing, but miller isn't competing. >> it's not a question as to how i feel. it's a question as to whether or not the voters of the state of alaska deserve to have a consistent standard applied in the future, whether or not they deserve integrity in the vote and those are questions that aren't answered yet. >> reporter: a big blow for formger alaska governor sarah palin who backed miller from the start. in a new interview with barbara walters, palin wouldn't say whether she'll run for president in 2012. but, she did predict what the outcome would be if she did. >> if you ran for president,

could you beat barack obama? >> i believe so. >> murkowski told katie couric this week how she feels about her fellow alaska republican. >> i just do not think that she has those leadership qualities, that intellectual curiosity that allows for building good and great policies. >> reporter: murkowski will return to capitol hill in a very unique position, not beholding to the republican leaders who turned their backs on her when she decided to run and not beholding to the tea party, which did everything it could to defeat her. harry? >> nancy cordes on capitol hill, thank you. senator murkowski joins us now from anchorage. good morning, senator. >> good morning, nice to be with you. >> talk about how important it is that people in alaska knew how to spell m-u-r-k-o-w-s he-k-i. >> we did the precedents and

made history. over 100,000 alaskans affirmly said it's pont to me and to this election to fill in the oval and spell out my name correctly. to see that recorded as part of the write-in and not know, well, know did they fill in, we've now learn the -- we've now learned sclans have spoken and have written it out, as well, pretty historic. >> joe miller is threatening to demand a recount. the republican party on the other hand saying you ought to concede. should he concede? >> well, the numbers are just not there for him. and i think -- i think that mr. miller recognizes that, as well. right now, with all of the ballots that are in, we are significantly up, well over 10,000 votes, even if every ballot that the miller camp had challenged throughout this write-in campaign, even if every one of them were tossed out, we

would still be winning this campaign. and so, it just doesn't add up for him. >> let's talk about things that add up come the new term in washington in january. you are an old-fashioned alaskan republican, certainly a fan of earmarks. earmarks have gone out of fashion just in the last couple of weeks. how are you going to fit in? >> well, it's not all about earmarks. it is all about making sure that you do the best job that you possibly can to represent your state. it's going to be a different landscape as it relates to earmarks. i think we all recognize that. but, i will be insistent that as a legislator, as one who represents the interests of the state of alaska, i'm going to make sure that alaska's voices are heard. >> you talked to katie couric earlier this week and one of the things you said was you thought sarah palin lacked the intellectual curiosity to be a good presidential candidate and turns out sarah palin had a

conversation with barbara walters yesterday and she said she thinks she can beat barack obama in 2012. would you vote for her? >> i've already said that i would not. obviously, 2012 seems like a long way for most of us, although those that are engaged in politics were gearing up yesterday. that's clearly the direction that things are taking. i think it remains to be seen who will step forward on the republican side, but it sounds like things are getting -- getting heated the already. >> senator lisa murkowski, we thank you very, very much for taking the time to be with us today. thank you. >> thank you. good to be with you. >> let's get more news now. erica hill just back from london is at the news desk. good morning, erica. >> good morning to you, harry and everyone at home. in germany this morning a terror scare leading to beefed-up security at airports. it was triggered by a tip about a planned attack later this month. in munich a plane landed from

africa after a long delay. police found a suitcase with am fuse at an airport in namibia. there were no explosives. meantime in the u.s. the verdict in for the first guantanamo detainee tried in civilian court seen by some as a serious setback for the government. ahmad ghailani was convicted yesterday of conspiracy in the 1998 al qaeda bombing of two u.s. embassies in east africa, he will be sentenced next mnts to at least 20 years possibly life in prison for terrorism. the jury found him guilty on just one of the more than 280 charges against him including 224 counts of murder. standing by this morning is cbs news national security analyst juan zer raet in our washington bureau. good morning. you actually called this verdict a disaster for the government. representative peter king of new york told the "new york times" it's a tragic wake-up call and in his view really underscores the need for military tribunals versus civil trials in these

cases. why the reaction thorng this morning. >> i think this result, a very mixed result, only one conviction out of 286 countsly problematic and demonstrates the complications trying to bring high-level al qaeda figures from guantanamo into the sniffle system, complications from with the presentation of evidence and complications with the longevity of their detention. it also demonstrates the contradictions trying to hold somebody accountable in the criminal system, even if we are going to hold them in custody, regardless of the verdict. and so, in many ways, i think this starts to close the debate on the use of civilian trials for high-level guantanamo detainees and will certainly color the debate how to handle khalid shaikh mohammed. >> i want to take you back to something you just mentioned, you mentioned challenges with presentation of evidence. a lot of people saying that is one of the reasons, in fact, this is the verdict that was given yesterday. talk to us about what was in the

allowed to be presented in court by the prosecution. >> well, the judge disallowed a key witness, a witness who allegedly had sold guy lanny the explosives for the attacks in east africa. that witness was disallowed because his identity was discovered while guy lanny was in cia custody before being transferred to guantanamo. also, his own statements, given the fbi presented in guantanamo, were not presented by prosecutors. they viewed that as potentially problematic, introducing complicated issues. and so, those were key pieces of evidence that weren't presented, weren't before the jury and certainly colored the verdict. >> juan zarate in washington this morning, thanks, as always. >> thanks, erica. the debate in this country over the latest security mesh shers for anyone traveling by air. full body scans and patdown searches. the ts av rules have received widespread protests as expressed at a senate hearing yesterday.

>> i wouldn't want my wife to be touched in a way these folks are being touched. >>s there got to be a way, however, for a privacy concern to be addressed. >> the senators were addressing the head of the tsa, summoned to testify and did not back down. >> do i understand the sensitivities of people? yes. if you are asking, am i going to change the policies, no. >> the tsa did respond to complaints from parents by eliminating intrusive searches for children under age 12. how about finding this under your hood, take a look. there you go, your new friend in your car. a nine-foot red-tailed boa con contradictor was found wrapped around an engine yesterday, apparently for warmth. it is believed one's escaped pet. dave price still on his "no way home" journey hopefully getting closer to us today before we check with him i want to get you a check of the day's weather. the biggest problems found in the northwest. take a look at this snoqualmie

past east of seattle, several inches of snow has fallen in the past 24 hours. meantime the northwest will see more rain clouds and snow showers. along with has heavy snow in the mountains. in the northeast a mix of sun and clouds plus showers around the great lakes. it will be sunny, though, and mild in the southeast and a quick check of your weather at 14 minutes past the hour. maggie? >> thank you. the latest now on the royal wedding.

this morning the word from london prince william and kate middleton may have found the place, very familiar place to tie the knot. our correspondent lits beth palmer is outside buckingham palace with the story. liz, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we don't know what the place is yet. it's the greatest guessing game in town as you can imagine. however, one "daily mail" photographer managed to get a photograph of kate middleton coming out of westminster abbey last night on what was clearly a reconnaissance trip. there is absolutely nothing in the picture or her expression to say westminster abbey has actually been chosen. but history makes it a strong contender. the queen herself was married here in 1947. and her mother, william's great-grandmother, in 1923. another possibility, st. paul's cathedral may be second favorite, the backdrop for prince charles and lady diana's wedding, which ended in a very messy divorce. once they've decided where, the

royal couple will have to decide how big. they are aware britain is suffering through the deepest recession since the war. it's thought that the queen and prince charles would foot most, if not all of the bill for a lavish wedding, which means the middletons, kate's parents would not. and taxpayers would be left with a $30 million tab for security. still, it seems many britons are in the mood for a party. >> i think relative to the size and everything else, compared to a bank bailout, it's going to be a fraction and it's going to be such a good day. >> reporter: retailers are already gearing up for what they hope will be a bonanza. in fact it started. the blue dress she wore for her first public interview is flying off the racks. some optimists think a blow-out royal wedding could refloat the whole economy. >> a fantastic social occasion that will affect everybody in the united kingdom and billions of people around the world. i cannot think of a better

excuse to gird up your loins and be positive about life. >> reporter: now, we hear that kate middleton is actually staying in buckingham palace, just behind me. she will be getting to know the queen a little better now and over the christmas holidays, she's invited to spend christmas with the royal family. before i go i have something to show you, though. we managed to get 'hold of two of the very first commemorative royal wedding mugs. they've been busy since erica left less than 24 hours ago and these are already on the stands. no date yet or at least a date of the announcement but not the date of the royal wedding. so, it might make them collectors items. >> might? for sure. elizabeth palmer in london, thank you so much, liz. if this turns out to be tantamount to a bank bailout i hope it ends the way gm's is ending, with the taxpayers paid back. >> we'll have the big story out of los angeles, who murdered a

celebrity public sdit in beverly hills, it has showbiz buzz iing

hey, chili's later? do we know each other? yeah. well, no. no. okay. that worked? chili's $20 dinner for two. share one appetizer, choose two entrees. all you need is somebody to go with. ah, it's stinging a little bit more than usual! yeah, you'll get used to it. the longer you keep your high mileage car, the more it pays you back. get castrol gtx high mileage. it helps engines last longer by fighting the main causes of engine failure. i think a dime went up my nose. yeah, it happens. don't change your car. change your oil to castrol gtx high mileage. its more than just oil. it's liquid engineering.

their child custody fight telling "larry king live" why she taped him ranting on the telephone and explaining why she did not leave him sooner. we'll hear some of that interview coming up, as well. first, police are searching for a murder suspect or murder suspects in a most unlikely place, beverly hills, where a publishist to the stars was gunned down on a quiet street and no one knows why. cbs news national correspondent ben tracy has the latest on the bizarre case that has hollywood buzzing. >> reporter: a murder mystery that has all of hollywood talking. 64-year-old celebrity publicist ronni chasen died violently shot multiple times in the chest while driving home from a movie premiere tuesday in the middle of this multi-million dollar beverly hills neighborhood, a drive she made nearly every day. so far, police are stumped. >> we don't have a motive at this time. we don't have any suspect information. >> reporter: although no shell casings were found close to the investigation told cbs news they

believe chasen was shot waiting to make a left turn and the passenger window was blown out. after the barrage of bullets, chasen floored the gas pedal slamming her car into a pole. >> i think this was a professional job, may have been a hit man, hired by somebody out to get her. >> reporter: chasen was gunned down after midnight tuesday after he leaving the premiere of the movie "brur lefk" a fixture in hollywood since the 1980s, handled publicity for films like drif"driving miss daisy" and on golden pond. she positioned actors and films for oscars, currently working with michael douglas for "wall street: money never sleeps." >> you stop telling lies about me, i'll stop telling the truth about you. >> people called me up and were -- were crying or feeling ill from the shock of it. >> reporter: chasen was working until the very end, just minutes before she was shot, she

reportedly called her office and left a voice mail reminding her of things she needed to do the next day. ben tracy, cbs news, hollywood. >> joining us now is former los angeles police chief bill bratton. good to see you. thanks for being here girchlts to be back. thank you. >> what a strange story. of all place beverly hills very few murders usually maybe one a year. an unusual place for a murder to take place. >> this has all the makings of a classic hollywood who-done it, "columbo" the scenario you would see on that old tv show. >> on this cross-street that goes right across beverly hills, she's gunned down, multiple shots, close range. if you just came upon this, what would the several scenarios come to mind in terms of? what could you possibly trace this back to? >> you start with a blank slate and the scenarios are, los angeles, possible gang drive-by,

beverly hills, very unlikely. road rage very potentially likely in a lot of those incident in california and los angeles. a crime of passion, somebody who knew her, they have not determined, to the best of my knowledge, as to whether there was possibly somebody else in the car. fourth, could be the idea of an unintended consequence, that she was killed and they were looking for somebody else. >> it seems to me, and not -- knowing as little as we do, this feels -- it has that hollywood feel from the standpoint of so many movies have been done and stories told about gangs and whatnot. could it it one of those situations where we -- here's this random person, go kill this random person, is that a possibility? >> well, that's one of the scenarios that i laid out. in beverly hills, much less likely than elsewhere in the los angeles region, where drivebys, the gang driveby basically was born in los angeles. but beverly hills, just doesn't

have that type of shooting. a road rage, a much more likely type of event. >> the street she was killed on i'm very familiar with, a well known shortcut from willshire up to sunset. what they will be doing lit raem rally from where she left the event she left they will look at every potential camera on the road, was she caught at all, did she have an altercation somewhere along the line. >> we get more and more familiar every day with these surveillance cameras kind of popping up everywhere. is that a place that typically would have maybe even, you know, some sort of coverage. >> well, you have red light cameras, in terms of you have cameras in the vicinity of stores. you have -- that's a high-security neighborhood. everybody has some type of security. >> right. >> so, really, from where she left the grummond theater, they will try to chase every potential camera along the route they believe she took. >> one of the other parts of the story, they immediately went and

confiscated all of her computer files. because, if she had enemies, theoretically, they would pop up someplace electronically. >> that's correct. that's basic policing 101, you gather as much as you can. these days, unfortunately you have a lot to gather computers at home and in the office. comfy phone records. i think there was a report of a message she left for herself reminders of things to do the next day. they'll have a lot to work with in the sense of her records. >> pleasure to see you. >> thank you. >> really appreciate the insight. we need to take time right now

in this morning's money watch, is free shipping really free? if you plan to do your holiday shopping from home you need to read the fine print about shipping and other online offers. regina lewis is here with money-saving tips. good morning. >> good morning, maggie. >> before the specific policies of each, tell chus are offering free shipping binchts 80% of them say they will offer fully shipping at some point which generally means sooner rather than later. here's why, the big players, walmarts, targets, best buys, sears, jcpenneys of the world offering free shipping able to negotiate really good standard shipping rates. later in the game, they have to pay the u.p.s. and fedexes of the world a pre yum and less

likely to absorb that and will pass that cost along to you. >> we have to read the fine print because there are plenty of surprises to be found. >> and sooner rather than later. >> can you give us some specific examples? >> sure. we've got a list of actual caveats. for instance, where is it going to be shipped to? sometimes if you buy online but say you've got to pick it up in the store, particularly on hot items, we saw this happen with guitar hero in years past because most major etailors are major retailrs, as well. >> is it easy it find this information or do you really have to dig through the website to find it? >> sometimes you don't find it until halfway through the check-out process. keep in mind keep watching. the second thing, you've got to know the code in order for free shipping to begin usually on a front screen or go to the search box on your computer type in the e-tailoer plus the coupon. >> so just don't assume they

will give it you to. >> not automatically. >> will you most likely have to enter a code. >> often. sometimes it's "santa" or "free ship" sometimes you have to hunt for it, not necessarily automatic. the other thing is a price barrier, do you have to meet a certain pricing threshold. in which case you have to look at that, if you have two $50 items try to find the place you can buy both from the same site. the other, the biggie, free shipping but only on certain items. take best buy offering free shipping as we said but if you fill your cart with an apple laptop, oop, not on those. >> where can you get free shipping. >> dvds, some not all. even walmart, 60,000 items are shipping for free but they have more than a million items. >> good point. one thing that deters me from shopping online. the thought of having to return something after you have bought something online. is that difficult. >> it works like catalog

companies like we've grown up with. if it is not an online-only item so, gap, barnes & noticeable. afternoontimes they include a pre-paid envelope, very convenient, you think great, put the item in there and ship it back. prepaid does not mean no cost. here's how it works. put your $20 item in the readily available pre-paid envelope, mail it back and they credit your account for $15. 20 minus the five dollars but you do get that. >> didn't know that. thank so you much. >> we found good deals for people out there and will put those on the website for. money, go to to moneywatch dut com. coming up next mel gibson's exsays she recorded his rants because she was afraid they would be killed. we'll tell you what else she had to say about their troubled relationship here on "the early show." hey, babe. oh, hi, honey! so i went to the doctor today, then picked up a few extra things for the baby.

anyone with high cholesterol may be at increased risk of heart attack. diet and exercise weren't enough for me. i stopped kidding myself. i've been eating healthier, exercising more... and now i'm also taking lipitor. if you've been kidding yourself about high cholesterol...stop. along with diet, lipitor has been shown to lower bad cholesterol 39% to 60%. 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. [ female announcer ] lipitor is not for everyone, including people with liver problems and women who are nursing, pregnant or may become pregnant. you need simple blood tests to check for liver problems. tell your doctor if you are taking other medications or if you have any muscle pain or weakness. this may be a sign of a rare but serious side effect. let's go, boy, go! whoo-whee! if you have high cholesterol, you may be at increased risk of heart attack and stroke. don't kid yourself. talk to your doctor about your risk and about lipitor. yeah, right now during sign then drive, you can take home a volkswagen for just your signature.

slap her with an open man how that affects it remains to be seen. >> one reason she did that i read she wants to rehabilitate her own image even though she was the vehicle of it a lot of rants a lot of people hey made her the bad guy saying she wanted to extort mel gibson and wanted to do damage control. >> at the end of the day, that poor kid. >> i'm right with you, little girl stuck right in the middle of it all. >> we'll be right back with you on "the early show." night after night, i sat up. sprayed up. took a shower... or took a pill. then i tried drug-free breathe right advanced. and instantly, i breathed better! i slept better. it felt...better. thank you, breathe right!

go to chase.com/freedom. buckingham palace this morning, kate middleton reportedly visiting the queen getting ready for her royal wedding. now that they are engaged everyone wants to know about that wegd. we told you earlier westminster abbey reportedly may be place william will wed kate. she was seen checking it out last night but there is much more to talk about this morning. let's go back to buckingham palace and check with ingrid seward editor for "magesty magazine." good morning to you. >> good morning, maggie. it is very exciting here in london. >> very exciting. >> sorry, sorry. >> no, no it's okay. kate's spotted going to westminster abbey. can you confirm that she was there and that this may, in fact, be the place? >> she was photographed there by "the daily mail" last night with

some detectives and william's staff. so, i think almost certainly that is where it's going to be and we're just waiting for the official announcement. >> i find it a curious choice. i mean, it is a church that is steeped in more than a thousand years of history. it is the corrow nation church but also the place that witnessed princess diana's funeral. would you be surprised it was westminster abbey for that reason? >> well, i think it's obviously got vo poignant memories for prince william but this is where royal weddings normally happen, lo jess particularly it works it's near buckingham palace. if there was a terrorist threat there are underground passages which lead from the abbey to buckingham palace. so, all in all it works. >> yesterday, prince william's spokesman stressed the wedding would not be a state occasion unlike the one for charles and diana because he is not the king or immediate heir to the throne however he said it would be a formal event and could cost up to $7.9 million pounds, $11.6

million. how is that price tag going over there? >> i think it's -- they're saying it's even more here. they say it could be anything up to 40 million pounds and that's really because of the security necessary, because of all the terrorist threats and everything that we get now days. they've got the military, the police, and the secret service, all have got to be coordinated. and -- but charles is actually picking up the tab for the wedding. and the queen will then pick up the tab for anything else. >> but, the taxpayers -- right, that's what i was going to say. that could be hefty, $30 ill million. what kind of reaction are you hearing to that? are people okay with it because they feel they will get it back perhaps in tourism? >> people are absolutely fine about it. they really up, the mood really up saying we don't mind what it costs when you think of the money that the last government squandered, it's really a drop in the ocean.

and there's also predicting they will get over a billion pounds worth of tourism here. >> okay. we can hope, certainly. let's talk about the preparation. >> absolutely. >> do you know if kate has chosen a designer for her dress? >> i'm sure kate -- i mean, the first thing a girl does is think what am i going to wear and i'm absolutely certain she's already chosen a designer and they are probably, as we speak, are making the dress. it could -- traditionally a bride choose usually an unknown or unknown to us that aren't in the fashion business designer, usually british but kate's very keen on a designer called iso, who actually made her engagement dress, which apparently has already sold out in that color. but, i'm not sure who will get the deal for the dress but whoever it is, it will make their lives. >> yep, that's perfectly put. ingrid seward, thank you so much for your time this morning. >> absolutety. thank you. >> harry?

>> dave has been way out west for the last three days but things are starting to look up. we don't want to reveal where dave is this morning, not quite yet but maybe, look at that -- this is the first smile we've seen in two full days. you want to give us a little bit of a hint, can you give us a clue? >> all right, all right. here we go. here we go. we are in a location where they serve skyline chile, grater's sis cream with one of the world's most beautiful art museum right in their backyard. that's where we are, harry. >> also known as the -- >> and we may make it home. yes! >> smiling dave price. we'll get the full story when we come back. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. >> announcer: "no way home" sponsored by new windowsphone. p. this one's got everyone i know in one place.

yesterday morning only as far as bozeman, montana. it was bleak, to say the least. but this morning he has taken a giant leap forward. first made it to denver and with a day left. >> oh, wow. >> cincinnati ohio. he's got to be feeling at least a little bit better. >> ahhh. >> there he's smiling, dave prims. good morning, dave. >> i'm so tired. i haven't slept, harry. here's the story. i made $600 yesterday. we'll explain that in a little while. last night, through the night, i traveled 948 nautical miles under the thousand mile limit. i'm not 654 miles from home. and the past 24 hours have been all about warmth. the warmth a coat provides and the warmth that people provide. since starting my trip six days ago in anchorage, the one thing that's bowled me over is the generosity of americans all

across the country. >> i so appreciate this. >> they've given me lifts, given me jobs. >> how many pounds of fish will i cut today? >> bought me dinners. they've even tried to keep me warm. >> this is great. >> you see, i started out with a down coat, which i left in a car when i got out in seattle. a couple coeur d'alene, idaho gave me another. >> i can't tell you what that means. unfortunately, i left that one in a hotel lobby. then, yesterday morning as i arrived in a snow-covered bozeman, montana i received the most amazing e-mail from an "early show" viewer. it said the theme of your journey is becoming coats. each year i try to do a secret santa gift. this year, i was going to donate to a food bank but your theme of coats and importance struck home. with winter coming, the viewer was concerned for those who don't have coats and offered me $600 if i'd start my own

personal coat drive, saying i'm hoping that you bringing the request to people will multiply the ultimate result of my donation with hundreds of coats. i was inspired. so, i drove over to the bozeman chamber of commerce to see if they'd help me write and print up flyers. >> please help dave price and the "no way home" series. they agreed to let me print thousands so the "no way home" spreading warmth across america campaign was born. >> can i just give you this? the early show is doing a coat drive. >> time was of the e sense. i hit the streets immediately. armed with flyers urging people to donate a coat. >> just reminding people to give a warm coat to the charity of your choice. >> could any one person do that much to raise awareness of a need? >> so i'm putting beverly parker from redlodge, montana down for how many? >> how many coats? >> yeah. >> three. >> three coats. amazingly, people started to respond in a way i never would

have expected. >> can i give you one now? >> you can. thank you. that is awesome. what's your name? i was stunned when people i approached actually started taking off their jackets. >> and art is giving us the jacket off his back. why? look at that! that is -- i cannot thank you guys enough. that is really great. >> with the money i had received for starting the drive for coats, i was able to buy a plane ticket to denver of. how are you? oh, i cannot thank you enough. viewer better phelps greeted me and offered to give me a ride and a surprise. >> oh, this is great. >> and the coats just kept on coming. are you really going to give me that coat. >> yeah, check the pockets. >> are you really going to give me that coat? you are going to give me your coat? >> sure! >> for a guy who started the day without a coat and with little hope of getting home on time, i suddenly had an armful of jackets and heartful of hope.

in the cold weather to come, these jackets may protect people in need. and for me, the memories of today will keep me warm long after i arrive back in new york. this is what the whole trip was all about. >> okay. there's another one. there's another one. >> a kiss for you. >> so you got us all crying like babies here, dave. it's so interesting. you go off on this adventure. you're wandering and as you wander, you actually end up with a mission. this is phenomenal. >> you know, we do these things and we do them every year and they're supposed to make people laugh and they're supposed to be adventuresome and entertaining and, to than quite often, to get people to watch television. and then something like this happens. you know, like a mishap, you forget a coat, forget another coat and then, you know, someone sends in an e-mail that brings meaning to the trip that you

could have never imagined on the way in. and i just -- i love this. you've got me last year when i was in minnesota and met that woman who was unemploy who had had driven me there. and this year, too, it is a blessing to be able to meet people all around the country who can make a difference. wait until you -- wait until you see the story tomorrow. i have the money to get home, by the way. i have the money to get home and i will get home on time but i've got a few things to do first. >> and remember how you were so down in the dumps and you couldn't see a light and were you going through so much hardship as so many people are wondering how am i going to dig out of this, what is the point of this? and all of those questions are answered in the most wonderful way. you always come out. you always percent he veer. >> all right, buddy. see you tomorrow. cannot wait to see how this unfolds. if you want to help dave on the final leg of his journey, all you have to do is follow him on twitter or send him an e-mail.

telling dr. murphy and dr. rivera, don't give it away. wouldn't you know, i gave it away noimplsts, the segment is about this. let's give it away absolutely. >> one thing, we look at him about a couple days ago and giant pandas are very difficult to tell the sex when they are this young but we are fairly confident it is a boy. >> it's a boy, maggie, it's a boy. >> yae, congratulations most zell tauf like when you happy a baby, it's a boy, so much excitement. now we have to choose a game. how do they go about choosing a name for this baby boy. >> it is chinese tradition to wait 100 days to name is baby. and so, zoo atlanta is going to stick with that tradition, wait the 100 days and still deciding what the process is going to be. they might do a contest and let the public vote on a name or maybe one of the handlers or veterinarians here buts it he' going to be a little while now

before they name it. i want to jump in and say because this is a teeny tiny baby only two weeks old, this baby can't maintain his body temperature, regulate his temperature very well so, dr. rivera, if you want to do the exam, this is actually the second time they've examined the cub and they take them out about once a week and they listen to the heart, as you see dr. rivera doing, listening to the rirps ration and look at the panda to make sure he's okay and put him back in with his mother so in just seconds we'll put him in the incubator so he can stay warm. how is he looking, dr. rivera. >> great. he is well hydrated. you see his belly, how full it is. he is nursing really, really well. his fur is growing great. the skin looks perfect. his color is pink, which sls a great indication he's very healthy. >> this is so fascinating. >> as you can see, maggie, he doesn't have much fur yet, still growing his fur. i'm sorry, say that one more time. >> no, i was marveling how fast thast this is.
