nice enough to take a jog and kind of knock off some pounds today after that big feast on thursday. wow. >> my goodness. >> still recovering? >> always still recovering. still eating a lot of turkey. you? >> more turkey today. welcome to "the early show." i'm russ mitchell. >> i'm rebecca jarvis. the nba lockout, we mentioned, they are going back to play on christmas day. the new tip-off will be right here in new york city. madison square garden and there's a lot more to report on that so we will get to that late in the program. >> christmas day is always a big day for the nba. penn state news and pakistan news also. we begin with holiday shopping. a black and blue friday in some places. millions showed up but when the doors opened, some shops were pushing and shoving and in one place, using pepper spray. elaine quijano has the latest. you look healthy and safe this morning.

good morning to you. >> yes, all is calm here in white plains, new york. good morning to you, russ. >> reporter: it's estimated 152 million americans will hit the stores by sunday as part of that black friday crush that actually began on thanksgiving night. in most of these sales event they are relatively incident-free but in a handful of cases, things got ugly. the black friday frenzy turned violent this year. 20 people suffered minor injuries after a woman at a packed walmart in los angeles expressed her frustrations with pepper spray. >> they start to unwrap everything, all heell broke loose. in the middle of the fray, they actually -- some lady just started macing the crowd. >> reporter: in arizona, outraged shoppers recorded the aftermath between a grandmother and police. witnesses say the man had put a video game in his waistbrand to help his grandson when the man

was slammed on the ground and knocked unconscious. >> all he was doing was shopping? you did that to him? >> reporter: this year, holiday shopping began hours earlier at chains like macyy'macy's, best d target. at midnight, 15,000 people pored through the doors. many lined up outside of flagship macy's in new york city and many offering black bargain on friday night including toys -- toys "r" us. >> they are saying we love these deals and come out in droves to take advantage of these deals. >> reporter: last year, holiday sales increased by 5.2% but this year, economists are predicting a smaller increase 2.8%. many consumers are still on tight budget. retailers decided the best strategy to increase their share of a customer's holiday budget

was to get shoppers into their stores first. analysts say the bargains will last beyond this weekend. >> retailers this year are not only offering earlier deals, but they are basically offering more systemic deals. now all throughout the holiday season. >> reporter: now holiday shopping usually accounts for about 25% to 40% of annual retail sales and analysts say this year, holiday revenue could top 465 billion dollars. >> we will check back with you in the next hour, elaine. thank you. here to you take about the early retail sales numbers is jack otter, executive editor for cbs moneywatch.com. do you think as far as what we have seen out of black friday, you have the crowds but are you having the shoppers buy enough to have that number be the case? >> i think it's tough to say.

the official numbers don't come out until tomorrow. anecdotally, it's pretty good. people are lined up. we saw the crowds on the screen. but a cbs news poll said 4 in 10 americans say they are going to spend less this year than they did last year. now when they actually get in the store area seen the sales they may act differently. online sales are strong but not necessarily enough to move the needle and may steal from retailers. >> good point. online sales are a big component of this. we used to think of cybermonday which is coming up here the next monday as the big online day but it seems like shoppers are going to the internet like they are going to the stores earlier than ever. >> absolutely. the problem is that online sales account for a smaller percentage of total sales than sort of popular imagination would have you believe. they have been growing every year since the internet began by huge leaps and bounds and expect to be up 15% this year compared to 2% or 3% for retailers but it's still one-tenth of all

retail. even though online sales can grow a lot it's not going to move the needle and if it just steals from retail sales it doesn't help the company but gives more money to fedex and less to the mall. >> let's talk rim effect. there is a rim effect. we don't just care about shopping because the consumer is better because the consumer drives the economy of our spending and it could mean jobs. >> absolutely. the national retail federation says 1 in 4 americans either works in retail or is related to it. i think they are being a little generous with that number but gives you a sense of the scale here. think about the context. we are coming out of this awful financial crisis that was caused by debt so americans quite rnlly are cutting back on debt and spending less and saving more. what happens? then there is no demand for the retailers. therefore, they can't hire more people so you don't have people getting jobs and getting incomes and being able to buy more. it's a vicious circle. i think the crucial thing coming out of this weekend isn't so much the numbers which will be

okay but the psychology. if you see headlines on numbers say jubilation, consumers came out and buy lots. that gives a psychological boost. people think maybe the economy is all right and i'll spend more and a self-coming prophecy. if we get bad numbers, people might rein in and we will have worse numbers. overseas now. strained relations between the u.s. and pakistan may get worse. pakistan say helicopters fired on one and maybe two army checkpoints killing pakistani soldiers. nato says it is investigating. cbs news mandy clark is in kabul, afghanistan, this morning. mandy, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, russ. general john allen, the commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan, extended his sincere condolences and said we will thoroughly investigate the

incident. at the same time, he didn't give any details of the attack. now, that closed border crossing provides around 30% of supplies to coalition forces. the concern now is the trucks are going to bottleneck at the crossing and become a prime target for think of incidents like this will affect those tense relations between the u.s. and pakistan? >> reporter: well, we have just come back from paktika province and we spoke to military sources there, and they said there had been increased number of attacks on us bases coming from pakistan. now relations between the u.s. and pakistan have been strained since the raid in pakistan by

u.s. navy s.e.a.l.s killed osama bin laden without pakistan's knowledge. >> mandy clark, thank you. in egypt several new developments this morning. the protests against the country's military rulers continues and three american students arrested during a protest earlier this week have left the country. cbs news correspondent elizabeth palmer is in cairo with the latest. elizabeth, good morning to you. >> reporter: hi, russ. well, those students were technically freed on thursday, but then they had to stay in custody an extra 24 hours where the lawyers and the police dealt with the bureaucracy of their relesion. once they were allowed to walk free last night, things happened very fast. they were taken to the airport by police where they each boarded separate flights to different destinations in the states but all three planes took off, so in just a matter of hours, they will all be back in the arms of their families. here in the center of cairo, just by tahrir square, there are still demonstrators around but things are calm.

these, mostly young, activists, still hope to force egypt's miller rulers to go immediately. and they received backing from the white house yesterday which said the full transfer of power to a civilian government must take place as soon as possible. overnight, there were small pockets of extreme violence. in the city of alexandria, protesters threw stones at police who fought back with casualties on both sides. here in cairo, a small group of young men tried to block access to the prime minister's office, until police arrived to clear them away. after an exchange of rocks and tear gas, a police truck ran over and killed one of the protesters. the demonstrators don't want elections to go ahead on monday as long as the military is in charge. but ya, editor of one of egypt's most influential newspapers says the ballot box is now the

country's best hope. >> it should be the pocket point in our march to democracy to a true democracy. that's why i'm very much opposed against any -- >> reporter: everything on monday and tuesday, the two voting days, depends on turnout. if it were about 50%, that would be a strong signal that millions of egyptians want to move on and in an attempt to boost the turnout, the government announced there will be a fine for anybody who doesn't vote. just under a hundred dollars, which is a lot of money in egypt, especially for the poor. >> liz palmer in cairo, we will see you later in the broadcast. this morning, nasa will launch a new unmanned rocket for a nine-month journey to mars. its mission, to find out if life exists or may have existed on the planet. on board is a new generation rover known as the curiosity, a nuclear powered rolling laboratory about the size of a car and cost more than $2

billion and the rover can drill, dig, and even sniff the martian landscape in search of life. joining us with all of the details is cbs news space consultant bill harwood. good morning, bill. >> good morning. >> reporter: what is the curiosity looking for terms of whether there is life or there may have been life on mars? >> well, it's not looking for life itself. what it's trying to find out is mars ever habitable either in the distant past or even today from they will be looking for carbon compounds. you know to have life as we know it you have to have water and energy and carbon and organic compounds. they know water was there in the past and still there in the form of ice. so by looking for organics and trying to answer this habitability question they hope to focus future missions to see if life evolved on mars or even still exists. >> viewers are getting a look at

what this rover, the "curiosity" looks like. about the size of a small car. reports are saying takeoff looks like it's on schedule. landing, we have been seeing images of what landing might be like, could be a lot more difficult. >> it's an amazing mission. we take these missions for granted going to other planets and doing all of these things but this is a case that is really a challenge. you know, the real issue here is how do you get a one-ton car-sized rover down to the surface? if you do it in the traditional sense where the rockets are underneath the payload the rocket is up on a platform and may have it to roll off. platform might be tilted depending on the slope it comes down on. they came up with a technique the rockets are above the rover and lower it down on a bridal and set it down on its surface ready to roll. a great idea but can't test it on earth's gravity completely so i think everybody is on the edge of the seats when it comes down.

>> no question about it. what if it works for the future of space exploration? >> certainly it's on a couple of fronts you can look at. scientifically, being able to answer a question was mars ever habitable and perhaps coming up with missions it can look for life as it might exist today or in the fossil record, i think philosophically, that is a huge achievement either way depending on how it plays out. this landing technique could have some payoff down the road for manned missions. getting heavy payloads to the surface of another world and then being able to drive around and not be stationary is a major engineering challenge. i think this technique holds a lot of promise for that, if they can make it work. >> bill harwood, fascinating stuff. thanks for joining us. >> sure. to politics. a quiet day for republican presidential candidates today. earlier today newt gingrich surged to the top of the polls and upset conservatives when he announced his stand on illegal immigration. now the question is will the lead last?

amy is with me and leslie. front runners in the republican party, mitt romney, michele bachmann and mitt romney again, perry. herman cain and now newt gingrich. leslie, what do you think? >> romney stays at 20% and everybody else moves up and down. we know that much. a lot of excitement i think in the republican primary side. they are looking for a strong conservative, social, and physically and i think you're seeing a lot of movement there. >> amy, do you think it's come down to gingrich versus romney at this point? >> i think too soon for that. the leadership in iowa is trying to zero in on their best conservative candidate. they are even looking at rick santorum. i think the real question for newt gingrich, at this point, can he parlay his current popularity into practical support. remember, newt gingrich, as speaker, he was speaker for four very short years and a very rocky tenure for the former speaker.

>> it's interesting what people talk about that. people forget he was most of the successful speakers in terms of passing telecommunications reform, welfare reform, ballot budget and worked with the democrats. it was brutal but overall voters are looking for people, common sense solutions that will get in there and roll up their shirt sleeve and get things done. >> we mentioned earlier, gingrich said some things this week at a debate that anchored some conservative republicans. let's take a listen. >> i'm prepared to take the heat for saying let's be humane in enforcing the law without giving them citizenship but by finding a way to create legality so that they are not separated from their families. >> governor -- >> going against the beliefs of many conservative republicans. leslie, do you think that will hurt him? >> i think it potentially could, but he was really smart on the issue. a common sense approach. there is idea of amnesty people are talking about. no republican candidates were talking about amnesty. he was saying that and accused

of that. i think he is actually approaching this in a sensible way that wasn't talking about anchor babies or, you know, trying to give benefits or in state tuition. he was taken a approach that was compassionate and serious. >> while some say newt has the attention span of a 1-year-old, it was senator richard burr who said that. john mccain was a supportive of immigration reform and november th, arizona had a special election and the republican who led the republicans in the state senate he was kicked out of office by conservative voters and replaced with a republican moderate and he was the author of the arizona immigration law. we see that actually with the gop base that they are willing to be flexible on the issue of immigration so as long as that candidate is talking about strong borders. >> even the media is taking this sf too far is what you're saying? >> i think they are. >> is there a strong sentiment

there, you can't deny the rift. >> the iowa caucus is coming up on january 3rd. how important is that going to be in the long run this time around? >> it jump-starts the election and you'll see a lot of movement and excitement. it really is showing intensity. there are a tremendous amount of republican voters and independents in open primary states that will get engaged. >> amy, iowa as important this year as in previous years? >> i think iowa is an opportunity for one of the insurgent candidates to break ahead and challenge mitt romney who hasn't put a lot into iowa. he came in second place the last time around. mike huckabee won last time won iowa and a lot of excitement around him but that, too, fizzled. >> thank you both. something tells me we will be speaking again. happy thanksgiving. thanks for coming in. our palme she will miller has the rest of the headlines. pro basketball fans can rejoice today. a tentative agreement was reached in the middle of the night that could end the long nba lockout and get the delayed

season started in just a few weeks. the breakthrough came at the end of a marathon bargaining session between nba owners and players. cbs news correspondent dave browdy reports. >> reporter: if you're a basketball fan, christmas is coming early this year. the nba lockout is all but over. while most americans were negotiating the mall on black friday, basketball owners and basketball players were negotiating an end to the lockout that is complicated by decertification of the union which now has to be undone, and some lawsuits that have to be settled or dropped. >> we will turn it all over to the lawyers here and have them work out all of the details. >> reporter: the first nba games of 2011 are set to be played on christmas day. a triple-header to be exact. representatives from both sides announced the deal this morning but skimpy on details saying they still have to talk to their

constituents. >> we can't get into too many details about our understanding and the settlement. >> reporter: while the deal still has to be formally ratified by both sides, training camp is expected to open december the 9th. the league plans an abbreviated 66-game season. dave browdy, cbs news, new york. there are questions about the safe of the chevrolet volt. the federal government is investigating possible fire hazards in the car's battery packs. crash test conducted on the car showed damage battery packs caught fire in some instances. gm says the volt is safe. former "the new york times" reporter and columnist tom wicker has died. he first came to prominence while covering president kennedy's assassination. he was in a press bus in the presidential motorcade that day. wicker went on to become the "times" washington bureau chief and a widely read political

>> there are continuing allegations of a conspiracy of silence surrounding penn state. more on that, let's turn to jessica bennett, a writer for "the daily beast." is there a code of silence you're sensing at penn state? >> this is a university that is exempt from public records law and hired a major pr film to help them in the aftermath and they are tight-lipped about this stuff. >> how much does the football program control the message that is getting out? >> i think a lot. there is a funny story a few years back. joe paterno broke his left leg and he was out and he was coming out on the field and they actually built a wall, a screen around him so local photographers could not capture him in a wheelchair. this is a very, very controlled place and a very controlled message. they have a show runner who actually puts on the games and controls every little aspect of it. >> interesting. state college, pennsylvania, a college town. how would you describe the economic relationship between

the town and the university? >> i mean, it's huge. this university is the number one economic driver to the state. each home game brings in about $59 million to the local economy. so you can see, in some ways, how nobody would want to go up against this institution. >> rebecca just talked about the issues going on with the governor of pennsylvania this week, tom corbett, let stand assess did 3 million grant that the foundation founded by jerry sandusky and after the governor knew about the allegations. it that another example? >> it's hard to tell at this point and they have revoked the $3 million grant at this point. this is such a small community that everyone is connected in some way so it's hard to tell if is this part of a grand conspiracy or if everyone is really connected. >> were you surprised at just how much the university seems to control things there? >> i mean, this is a university that pumps through people's

blood. they have this intense loyalty to it and you can kind of see the sense of patriarchy that surrounds it. certainly, i was surprised, but hopefully as all of this develops, people will start coming forward. >> joe paterno is out and no longer coach of the people. what are people a week or two later saying about that these days? >> i think they are coming to the realization. in the beginning we saw rioters rioting about his firing. joe paterno is a god in this town. he is this god-like figure that also is able to relate to people in these ways. he is listed in the phone book. he lives in a really modest one-story home so he is kind of working class, but also larger than life. >> do you expect, jessica, at all this silence, code of silence to loosen up in the next few weeks as perhaps more allegations come out and as perhaps more pressure on people

to say something? >> the new president says he has a real commitment to transparency. you get the sense they need to clean house. they are bringing in people who are still within the university and are we wale going to see change if you're not bringing in outside folks? >> jessica bennett, appreciate your insight. have a good weekend. time to go back to john he will lot of wcbs-tv who is here for lonnie quinn. >> high pressure and quiet for the southeast and quiet and cool for the west. central states, heavy rain and area of low pressure. it is the proximity of that low and high bringing gusty winds from the dakotas down into texas. wind advisories and warnings 30 to 40-mile-an-hour winds common and gusts over 60 miles an hour or possible. hold on tour hat. ur hat. yur ha. .

month. >> what would be then the difference between the drug itself? this new generic and lipitor? >> the active ingredient is the same. it will have the same cholesterol lowering capacity. what will be different are the fillers. instead of being oblong and white the pill could be round, yellow, pink or green. >> does that make it different on any other level? >> no, it's just about the look of the drug and why it's important for people to carry a list of their medications. you can't go by the color and say to your doctor i'm on the pink pill aisle. >> as a doctor is this something you would prescribe for people and say go generic, there is no difference between the generic and the model brand? >> i've been talking to my patients about this for the last month, because these are really hard times economically for people and they can't afford their medication. lipitor has been a very powerful drug in terms of lowering cholesterol and lowering risk for heart disease.

now patients can have it at a cheaper price and also reduce their risk for heart disease. >> so it is something you would say go for that because it's less expensive than the lipitor? >> that's right, but i think it's very important for patients to ask their doctors about which statin is right for them and then just like you would buy a television set during the holiday season, do comparative pricing. call your drug plan. go to your local pharmacy. go to costco and walmart and find out the prices and find the best one for you. >> great information. thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. coming up next, speaking of comparison shopping, conquering cybermonday. how to find the best web sites with the best deals. you're watching "the early show" on cbs. enough of just covering up my moderate to severe [ designer ] plaque psoriasis. i decided enough is enough. ♪ [ spa lady ] i started enbrel. it's clinically proven to provide clearer skin.

say, in fact, that today some 89 million people are expected to hit the malls, so sort of a black saturday event happening as well. so in general, of course, the holiday shopping season a critical one. that is when retailers make about 25% to 40% of their annual retail sales and analysts say that could amount to some $466 billion this year. now it's interesting, though, given the economic tough times that we're in, one analyst that we spoke with said, look, if you miss some of the bargains this weekend and you can't make it out to the stores, do not worry, because stores understand that consumers have limited dollars this year, they are really trying to pull out all of the stops. so look for stores to be offering periodic sales. not just this weekend, but all throughout the holiday shopping season. >> elaine, thanks so much and have a good weekend. here is russ. there is no let up in the wave of sometimes violent antigovernment protests in

egypt. parliamentary elections are scheduled for monday. the three american students arrested during the demonstrations have left the country. elizabeth palmer is in cairo. how likely are the elections to go through without a hitch? >> reporter: it's been an extraordinarily tumultuous and violent week. the clashes between thousands of protesters and the police and the army have killed probably more than 40 people and injured an incredible 2,000 people. that is not a very awe suspicious way to go into elections. the army and the police forces know that they have to, first of all, make people feel safe enough to turn out to the polling stations. the turn jo on monday and tuesday is going to tell us everything. whether people feel if they buy into the beginning of the democratic process, that will put egypt back on track. if there is a turnout of over

50%, it will be a very good sign. and the ruling military council knows this. they have extended the vote. it should have taken place only on monday. it's now been extended for a day into tuesday to try and encourage people to show up in big numbers and also they have announced they are going to fine anybody who doesn't show up to vote. almost a hundred dollars, which a lot of money to many millions of egyptians. russ? >> liz palmer in cairo, thank you very much. coming up on 4 minutes past the hour. let's go over to the news desk with michelle miller for a look at the rest of the headlines. arab officials are working against sanctions on syria where anti-government v anti-government violence has been ongoing since march. thousands of people have died in syria in the violent crackdown. several people were killed yesterday. syria blames armed groups for killing civilians. at least 15 people are dead

after a series of bomb blasts in iraq this morning. a roadside bomb blew up a truck carrying construction workers on the outskirts of baghdad. three other bombs exploded in central baghdad. violence in iraq has escalated as the u.s. prepares to leave at the end of the year. the mayor of los angeles who is sympathetic with the occupy wall street movement now says those camped out around l.a. city hall will have to leave. antonio villaraigosa says the camp imposes a threat to public health and safe safety. the deadline to dismantle the camp is early monday morning. there are new developments this morning in the sexual abuse case involving a syracuse university assistant basketball coach. federal agents have joined local police in a search of bernie fine's home near syracuse. they would not say what they were looking for, but they were seen searching fine's trash, taking pictures, and removing

file cabinets. two men claim fine molested them more than 25 years ago. it is now 8:05. time for a check of the weather with john elliott of wcbs-tv here in new york. hot spot, harlingen, texas. 86. feels good for you. coldest in the nation is ashton, idaho, at 5. count them, 5! now many east coast communities could vie for the best but hard to feet fair gax, south carolina, sunny and 73 and light breeze. you're loving it. why? high pressure here. high pressure to the west and rain in the central states. some of that is going to be heavy and we have the wind as well to deal with so that is where the active weather is from the dakotas down to parts of the south.

announcer: this portion of "the early show" sponsored by macy's. thanks for starting your day with cbs. next half hour we celebrate a cbs superstar just like rebecca. back to you. >> thanks so much, john. we appreciate it. there are new developments in the mysterious disappearance of an american tourist on the caribbean island of aruba. robyn gardner disappeareded months ago and the police they accuse of murdering her was taken into cust gi gaodcustody, giordano. lee cowan reports. >> reporter: gary giordano was

the only suspect in the disappearance of robyn gardner, a 35-year-old american tourist who took off to aruba for a vacation with gee or diordano a meeting him online but she was never seen again. prosecutors immediately pointing the finger to giordano but never charged him with a crime. after a hundred days in custody, an aruban judge said enough is enough. giordano could be a free man as early as next week. all along he maintained that gardner had been swept out to sea as they were snorkeling near sundown. his attorney called it a tragic accident, nothing more. but prosecutors were suspicious saying they found enough circumstantial evidence to doubt his story and wanted more time could gather more evidence. but without a body and not much of a motive, a judge decided the time for prosecutors to harden up their case have come and gone and leaving gardner's family

looking for more. >> casey jordan, a legal analyst, joins us. do you think giordano will walk away from this next week? >> i do. they have until tuesday. they have appealed that decision and release him on tuesday. a three-judge panel could hear this appeal. it could happen at any time. unless they overturn the decision and give the prosecution another 30 days to get the evidence they need to formally charge giordano, he will be able to leave on tuesday. >> what happens if he does leave on tuesday? >> well, we assume he is going to come back to the united states and, yet, he is in trouble in a number of ways here in the u.s. and he has two ex-wives. he has support issues. he had filed a lawsuit here. he is in financial shambles. i think the greatest fear what if he tries to flee to another foreign country? then it would be hard to get him back and extradite him in case that evidence turns up in the future. >> you bring up the idea that

the evidence could turn up in the future. there is no body here and that is one of the issues voupeding this case. we have discussed it in the past. is there a statute of limitations if the body shows up in the future giordano at some point in the future is linked to this that he would be able to or not be able to face charges, depending on the time? >> you're absolutely -- the aruban officials prosecutors are hoping the hard evidence. the problem is they do not have hard, direct evidence and not enough to make a homicide charge stick. they don't believe his story. they believe 1.5 million insurance policy he took out on this woman he barely knew is circumstantial, but without a body, in theory, you could charge somebody without a body but you would have to have direct evidence, an eyewitness, computer records, some kind of journal. they want more time to analyze his computer to see if there is any record, any journaling, anything that could directly link him to a homicide plot and it doesn't look like they are going to get it because they know he is text savvy and think he has wifed out his hard drive

but if they could get some direct evidence they would charge him or extradite him back to face charges in the future. >> if he were to come back to the united states in that best case scenario assuming prosecutors don't win their appeal, then what is the course of legal action? >> the fbi has been working with the aruban officials and they are very cooperative. all indications if he comes back to the united states, this is not as bad as we may think. they can continue to look for robyn's body. any sort of evidence, blood evidence, witnesses, cameras, anything that could link him to this crime. and if they find that, they can get the united states to cooperate and extradite him back to aruba to face charges. him coming back to the united states as long as he stays here is not so bad we will know where he is. if he goes elsewhere, could be another joran van der sloot case. >> will robin gardner's family file a suit?

>> it's unlikely because he no no money to get. if they do it because they are seeking answers and not because they are trying to get money. >> thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. come on! wait for me! there it is. ah! hurry up. you're heavy. are you sure these letters will get to santa? yes, of course. hold still. almost there. a little bit higher. i can't hold you up much longer. ah! whoa!
