concordia" has been found. talking about a hard drive and two cameras. a report coming up. just stunning images. >> it is stunning and the more details we learn about this, the scarier it gets, worse it gets. speaking of scary details and things you find out that you would rather not know about. planes. airplanes are felty. >> or can be at times. >> they can be at times and we have the results of a new study that we'll reveal later, coming up with travis stork of "the doctors." how you can protect yourself when you fly. >> we cannot wait for that. voters go to the polls to pick the republican ma'am knnom the president. a tight and key race. correspondent dean reynolds in charleston, south carolina. good morning to you. >> good morning, rebecca. since 1980, the winner of south carolina's republican party primary has gone on to win the gop nomination.

so what happens today here in the polling places carries considerable weight. >> there we go. thank you. >> reporter: if you follow the polls, the race is up for grabs here. on the one hand, have you a resurgent newt gingrich. >> every conservative in the state decided to vote for newt gingrich, we would win a shockingly big victory. >> on the other hand, mitt romney attempting to lower expectations in advance of what could be a painful night. >> i think i said from the beginning, south carolina is an uphill battle for a guy from massachusetts. >> reporter: they have battled in different ways. gingrich relying heavily on electrifying debate performances and romney relying on an expensive ad campaign. including attack ads from romney supporters. they are so dark and menacing they have drawn fire from critics and comedians.

stephen colbert accuses romney of all sorts of transgressions. >> he's mitt the ripper. >> aghh! >> reporter: on friday, colbert campaigned for herman cain. >> there are no chairs. partly for budgetary reasons, but mostly because i'll take a standing ovation any way i can get it. >> mr. colbert could not get on the ballot. i could not get off the ballot. >> and because herman cain is, indeed, still on the ballot, his candidacy here could really complicate things, because he retains some popularity, and while the candacecandidacy is considering a joke by colbert, it could be a joke for the remaining republican candidates.

>> thank you, dean. also in charleston, cbs news political correspondent jan crawford and political director john dickerson. >> good morning, rebecca. >> we look at these numbers. it looks like things have changed pretty tra mdramaticalla short time. what has changed things for gingrich? >> i thought dean laid it out very well in that piece. he is built on these strong debate performances this week and reminded voters here this is a guy who can take it to president obama, defend conservative principles and bash the media. among republican who's are sick of washington, want obama out of white house and think the media is a bunch of liberals in the tank for barack obama, that is a message they want to hear. gingrich is smart, forceful and someone can go toe to toe with the president and get him out of the white house and romney has struggled to get traction. he has never had a national

audience in south carolina. he is seen as too moderate. >> john, how much of a game-changer is a gingrich win in south carolina today? >> well, considering that a week ago, everybody or a lot of people thought that mitt romney was going to walk away with south carolina, that was going to be it, the nomination, the fight for the nomination would be over, now this will put a serious contender against him and it will mean that this -- the forces who have not been behind mitt romney have been looking for an alternative will have one and we'll have to see when the vote then splits that way, how many people really are against mitt romney as the nominee? a lot of anemic support. it will get down to a two-man race if gingrich has a strong showing in south carolina. >> a two-man race. what does it mean if romney does finish second, what does it mean for his campaign? does that not big lead anymore change things? >> oh, yeah. what it means this race is going to go on for a while. remember, the romney campaign came into the state having a

narrow lead, thinking they were poised for a win here that they could go on to florida with momentum and lock up the nomination by the end of the month. this means this race now will drag on. what's kind of funny, here is a state that picks the nominees. really proud of that, but this time it could be a state that's -- it means it keeps it going in an indecisive way. doesn't decide things at this point. >> with a gingrich win, do you think santorum or other candidates might drop out of this race? >> well, it depends on the numbers. if santorum, if the polls are right and the final outcome tracks close to those polls and santorum comes in third, a distant third, very hard for him to make the case that he can continue and be that alternative for mitt romney. for conservatives, having another person to split the race is a bad idea. what we may see in south carolina is conservatives who are disappointed with romney, co

coalescing around gingrich. he had a very strong debate performance in south carolina on thursday. so we'll just have to see what his final numbers are. >> how significant are the character issues around gingrich going to play in south carolina and in florida? >> listen, that is something that i think is going to really change this race eventually, and i agree with what john said about santorum. santorum isn't going to drop out right now. he thinks he's the only social conservative in this race. it gives gingrich -- the ex-wife coming out and saying he wanted an open marriage? that offends a lot of people, not knowledge this state and in florida and beyond. a lot of republican primary voters will have a problem with that obviously it may not affect things much in south carolina. this news just came out. not a lot of time. but you will continue hearing about that, people raising questions about that. and that will also encourage santorum to stay in. i agree with john.

he'll be under a lot of pressure to get out of the race if he doesn't finish strong. >> jan crawford and john dickerson in south carolina this morning, thanks to both of you. >> rebecca, thank you very much. an unseasonably mild winter for much of the country it has been. now, this late-january storm covering a big portion of the country. correspondent manuel guallegas s joining us now. >> a couple inches of snow on the ground. it's expected to snow all day. 3 to 6 inches. not a massive storm, but definitely our first taste of winter. snow plows and icy roads, winter's first real show across the northeast. the storm has made its mark on much of the country, chicago was blasted. at o'hare airport, planes on the ground. as much as 8 inches of snow fell

in the area's biggest storm of the season. >> off to the east, you can see those side streets pretty treacherous. >> reporter: in washington's puget sound, entire neighborhoods covered in snow. >> looks like armegeddon going down the road. >> the power is still out around seattle from toppled lines and warmer weather could bring flooding. minnesota had its first sub-zero temperatures of the season and that's steam coming from lake superior with the water warmer than the air. there were hundreds of vehicle crashes across the midwest. and if you like snow, this will probably definitely not be our last winter blast. forecasters say that january is typically the coldest, but february is usually the snowiest. jeff. rebecca, back to you. >> thank you very much. stay dry if you can. rebecca. >> now to a hollywood murder

mystery involving severed body parts. police have identified the victim. a former mexican airlines employee who lived in the area for some time and reportedly someone is trying to cash in on the gruesome discovery. john miller has details. >> reporter: los angeles police detectives have learned the identity of a 66-year-old hollywood man who is the victim, whose head, feet, and hands turned in a wooded but heavily hiked canyon in the hollywood hills this week. police are withholding any more details as they continue the hunt for the killer. but they say they identified the man by searching missing persons reports and then interviewing friends. >> i think it's really frightening that it's this close to my house. i live right next door. >> reporter: thursday night, detectives searched a hollywood apartment complex where the victim lived with a male companion. police questioned the companion, who reported the victim missing on january 6th. they also towed this car away from the property to comb it for

forensic clues. >> cops were just by, asking about how often they pick up our garbage and i told them they picked it up last night and they just searched it with gloves and that was it. >> reporter: and now, photos of the woman who found the head on tuesday, posing with it, are being shopped around tabloid internet outlets. the offers come from a hollywood photo agency that usually deals in celebrity paparazzi pictures. unclear from whom or how they acquired the pictures. the ask price? $5,000. no takers yet. john miller, cbs this morning, saturday. >> and for more on this story, we turn to criminologist casey jordan. >> good morning. >> what do you make of the latest developments? >> great to know what the identity is. a lot of speculation over the last two or three days this could be organize crime related, is it a drug cartel? did somebody dismember this body to send a message to the police? and we're getting a lot more focus, that we know the man's

identity that it does not appear to be the work of organized crime or serial killer, probably a lone, isolated incident. >> but why is the question? >> again, we found out that he was reported missing by his partner. several days ago. and that doesn't happen in organized crime. if it's an assassination or a message being sent, family members don't call police and say the man is missing. they know he lived nearby. the crime could have happened in his home or in a surrounding apartment building. we know they are interviewing people. have released people. but they have questioned people and probably very close to figuring out how this happened. >> certainly drug cartels have been mentioned? you don't think that's a possibility at this point? >> we don't. we keep rehashing the possibility, because he worked for mexicana airlines and he has the last name medehin, a famous

drug cartel in the 1980s. >> where do they go from here? >> they will talk to family members and friends. perhaps he had a casual encounter with somebody, something went wrong. the dismemberment was most probably something done expeditiously as a way to get the body out of the location in which the man died. not to be gruesome. >> still horrific. >> you can get body parts out of an apartment in different bags much more easily than an entire body. because he lived nearby, somebody could have literally walked from his apartment and thrown body parts in different areas of the park. >> great to see you. now rebecca. a funeral for 20-year-old christopher patterson, the last of four indiana national guardsmen killed earlier this month in afghanistan. yesterday, thousands of people braved the snow and cold to pay tribute to the fallen hero. cynthia bauer sat down with his

parents in north aurora, illinois, to discuss who they have lost and what they hope people will remember. >> reporter: how long was chris there? >> two months. he flew out of united states on veterans day. >> reporter: he was a combat engineer with the army national guard. >> the last communication i had with him was, well, got to get to bed, mom. i've got a mission tomorrow. i said all right, i love you. be safe. and he said i love you too. and that's the last thing we had. last words. but he was excited to be going on a mission. >> reporter: his missions were extremely dangerous. he was a sapper, charged with clearing the roads of bombs for convoys. on january 6th, his unit's vehicle struck an ied. four soldiers were killed. 44-year-old robert tauteres jr. and brian leonhart.

jonathan metzger, the unit's leader and christopher patterson, just 20 years old. >> i happened to look at the front door, and i saw the uniform. and, of course, i instantly -- i knew what it was. >> reporter: thursday night, christopher's body was returned to chicago. the patterson's saluted their son's flag-draped coffin. >> when chris was little, his favorite halloween costume was a christian soldier. he was one of god's soldiers and one of america's. >> reporter: he grew up in a military family and joined the national guard while studying music at indiana's valparaiso university. where he proudly sang in the school's a cappella group. his parents worry men and women serving overseas are starting to slip out of america's consciousness. >> we lost four out of one unit i think is why it's gotten so much press. >> we are out of iraq, but we're

still at war and most people don't know that. we've been there for nine years now, and it's picking up. it's -- it's not over by any stretch of the imagination. >> reporter: the patterson's youngest son, carl, got leave from the marines to join the rest of his family in saying good by to his beloved big brother. >> he was an angel given to us for 20 years. but god needed his angel for something else. >> and at the funeral later this morning, in batavia, illinois, christopher patterson's family and friends will dress in red in honor of his red hair. now for the rest of this morning's headlines, cbs correspondent and morning news anchor betty nguyen joins us. >> good morning. a u.s. helicopter made a forced landing near kandahar in southern afghanistan. it's unclear whether it crashed or able to land on its own.

no reports that anyone has been killed. six marines were killed this past week, though, when their helicopter crashed in southern afghanistan. a man has come forward saying that he accidentally started the huge wildfire that destroyed 29 homes and led to the evacuation of 10,000 people near reno, nevada. that blaze, fueled by high wind and extremely dry conditions began thursday. the man told fire officials that he did not dispose of fireplace ashes properly and that he was sorry. well, rescue teams in washington state are hoping for better weather this morning as they searched for four people missing in mt. ranier national park. the search suspended due to a blizzard. two climbers and two campers have been missing since early last week. park rangers say both parties well equipped, but now they may be running low on supplies. an infant that only weighed 9.5 ounces at birth has grown

enough that she has been released from the hospital. melinda starr guido weighs 4.5 pounds, but no bigger than a can of soda when she was born in august. melinda is one of the smallest babieser to survive. she spent five months in an incubator. very happy for her. 20 minutes past the hour. lonnie quinn is off, but filling in is john elliott. boy, woke up to lots of snow today. so pretty outside. >> beginning look a lot like winter, betty. good morning, everybody. here is the deal. rather active weather weekend for much of the country. northeast cities getting snow. more snowy conditions out west. and a bit of serene sandwich in the nation's middle. northeast cities, the concern for accumulating snow and far more vexing, the possibility of icing just to the south through the virginias and into parts of the ohio valley, a real quick snapshot of the skies, you can

see active weather in the northeast, the west, and the concern for some big storms later today in the southeast. that's a quick look at the nation's weather. now here is a closer look at the weather for your weekend. it is winter so watch those first few steps out the door and be careful behind the wheel. right now, though, i am going to send the wheel back to rebecca and jeff. >> thanks. sometimes the first steps out the door are the hardest. etta james, one of the greatest singers of her generation, has died. >> she was 73 years old. bill whitaker takes a look back. >> reporter: now is the time to celebrate etta james, "at last."

♪ at last >> reporter: etta james was born james etta. james etta hawkins in 1938 in los angeles. her upbringing was difficult. passed off from one caregiver to another by a neglectful mother. she started performing as a teenager in the early '50s and hit number one with her group, the peaches, with the wallflower. "dance with me, edward." she signed with legendary chess records and the hits came easily in the early '60s. topped off by "at last." a departure from james' harder bluesier sound. ♪ the skies above, they're blue ♪ >> reporter: but etta james had more blues in her life than any song she sang. a battle with drug addiction and

legal problems kept her on and off the charts until the '90s, when she won the first of her six grammy awards and a very welcome comeback continued. ♪ i just want to make love to you ♪ >> reporter: etta james said in her autobiography that her rage kept her going, without it, she would have been whipped long ago. with it, she had lots of songs to sing. ♪ at last >> reporter: for cbs this morning, bill whitaker in los angeles. >> great stuff. >> gives you goosebumps. >> it really does. coming up, some college majors are major losers. a look at which degrees will get you a graduate work. >> also, coming up here, why you may want to not use that blanket on the airplane. some secrets of airplane travel, coming up. watching "cbs this morning saturday."

two black boxes have been found off the "costa concordia." we talked with the captain of the ship to give us some insight ow how the ships have changed. >> for the first time, you will

hear about the high-seas

coming up, we'll we'll talk about the

look at that snow in new york city. welcome back. >> it has arrived. >> yes, it has. welcome back. i'm jeff glor. >> i'm rebecca jarvis. >> the latest on the cruise ship capsizing in italy. the first time, the captain speaks out about the training it takes to save thousands of lives. when should disaster strike. and degrees that are likely to get you a job and also the degrees that may leave you without one. >> great way to spend those four years. also, just plain filth, from the tray tables to the carpet, a stunning look at how dirty many planes are.

this one confirms a lot of my suspicions. and the black boxes of the "costa concordia" have been recovered. it could answer a lot of questions. and alan pizzi is in giglio, italy. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. the police divers have recovered what they describe as a hard drive and two cameras, cctv cameras from the bridge of the "costa concordia." they hope that will give them more information on exactly what happened the night of the accident. the search effort will concentrate on the ship's fifth level, where passengers would have gathered to go to life rafts, considered to be the most likely place to find the bodies still trapped in the wreck. demolition experts blasted several holes in the hull of the ship this morning to make access to the interior easier. the biggest fear is that the ship will slip off the rockledge it's resting on.

many forces a are monitoring the move of the ship. the captain who brought the ship onto rocks has been disavowed by his employers. costa cruises won't pay legal fees to fight multiple charges of manslaughter and abandoning ship. his description of what was happening did not correspondent to the truth. a class-action lawsuit being launched on behalf of the 120 million americ million americans on board. as soon as the searching ends, the effort to remove 500,000 gallons of fuel from the ship before it can cause an ecological disaster will begin. as much as they want to get that oil off, authorities say that the priority remains covering the missing bodies, and they are searching for those as we speak right behind me.

rebecca. >> makes sense why that would be the priority. >> alan, thank you. evans hoyt joins us, he has been a ship captain for three decades. >> reporter: good morning. welcome to the bridge of "the pride of america." >> good to be with you. some things a lot of people don't understand. what is it that most people don't understand about captaining a ship? >> well, the job from the actual ship handling to the management of the overall operation. but i guess overall it would be the complexity of it all. >> let's talk about the complexity. ships are highly computerized. how much are you steering the ship? >> well, in fact, during the maneuvering process, it's all manual. and at sea, the officer of the

watch is managing the maneuvering through the system. >> how much of the system has changed over the past couple of decades? how challenging is it to keep up on training? >> well, the training ining co. we have seen an enormous change within the industry. the fuel integration, the integrated brig system and electronic charting has changed a lot through the industry. when i first -- >> if you don't stay up on that, you won't be in the right position to guide the ship properly? >> oh, for sure. it's a matter of constant training and upgrades. and i just came back from my last simulated training just a couple of months ago, right before i joined the ship for this rotation. >> captain, how close -- i know every case is different, but how

close do you typically get to shore? >> that depends on the situation. in transit, we would normally be more than three miles offshore. some navigation routes require to us be closer. and we have -- in navigation standards, assistance which tells us how much we have in how close we are. >> what kind after harmeds go off if you are potentially getting near a rock or something else that might be harmful to the ship? >> well, we have a -- we have within our electronic charting system different -- different inputs and alarms, and a lot of that has to do with the depth of the water. but there are multiple navigation systems that are in use on the bridge all the time. >> captain, i know your safety

record is stellar. what has to change moving forward? >> well, it can never be satisfied with where you're at in terms of the safety and navigation, so there is only reevaluation, and training going on, always evaluating and the new technology out there, to see what is appropriate and whether it's value added to each operation. >> captain, before we let you know, we want to ask you, a lot of people are very wary about potentially taking a cruise. what would you say to them? >> i believe that cruising is the safest vacation that you could take. it is a well-controlled and well-managed operation. >> captain evan hoyt, we appreciate your time. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> now here is john.

thank you, jeff. good morning, everybody. we don't have active weather from coast to coast, but both coasts dealing with pretty significant weather. in the northeast, first significant snowstorms of the season for many, and on the fringe of the white, not too nice. we've got ice. farther to the south, the potential for severe weather and out west, here we go again, a stubborn low brings more wind, rain and snow. a very active weather pattern for parts of the southeast. out west, we will see more, just staggering snow totals, take care. great for those in the snow business, but make sure you are careful as are you out and about on this active weather saturday. a quick look at the nation's forecast. now here is a closer look at the weather for your weekend.

if all of this is too much to process, remember, today is national hugging day. just get a hug and we'll get through it together. >> you guys are so far away. >> in the new studio, we can't do it. >> we'll hug it out in the next block. from social sciences, to liberal arts, the majors that could leave you looking for work. >> i hear those hugging majors are big. well, you're watching -- here in the studio. here at "cbs this morning saturday" stick around. chili's $20 dinner for two has a bold new favorite -- steak. first, share an appetizer, then choose two entrees, like our 100% usda choice sirloin, available for a limited time on chili's $20 dinner for two. you can always do something better for yourself. and better is so easy with benefiber. the fiber that's taste-free and grit-free...

about this. >> yeah. >> at times when we get on planes. what is the worst part about a plane? >> well, first of all, i fly virtually every week, so i don't want to overstate it to the point of saying it's dangerous to get on an airline. the number one risk, quite honestly, getting on a plane, is catching the cold or the flu. if you think about it, you're in crowded quarters, people not necessarily washing their hands. you don't know who was there before you. who touch thed that magazine, t tray table? viruses can live up to 72 hours on a plastic surface, like a tray table. you have to be aware of that. >> is the tray table the worst culprit on this? you think of the surfaces on the plane, the floors, carpeting, the air that goes around in the airplane. what's the worst? the dirtiest? >> the air is filtered. that's the good news. i personally -- my fear is if

you go to the bathroom, on an airplane, don't go in your socks. i don't known that floor is ever cleaned. >> don't walk in your socks into the restroom i think is -- >> and people do that. people wear their socks into a bathroom. >> i've done that. >> don't do that. wear your shoes. when you go to use the restroom, what's so important, it's tough to wash your hands in there, right? not enough room and that handle is probably full of germs, so be careful. use a tissue to open the handle, close with your elbow. this is the one place i always use hand sanitizer. i use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. get back to my chair, use a hand sanitizer. wipe down the tray table with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. the person before you may have changed a baby on that tray table. we found e-coli, a bacteria that lives in your gut on the tray

table. also mrsa, a staph infection that causes skin infections. be smart. wipe it down if you are worried about it. >> how clean or not clean is the water on planes? >> well, we talked about this on our show. the good news, most of the time, if you order water it comes from a bottled source, the same water is used certainly for the lavatory, what is also used for your coffee and tea, but it is heated up and by reports, everyone we talked to said the water was fine. >> i wonder, travis, you put your head against that seat that millions have put your head against. should you go as far as wiping down the seat itself with a baby wipe or something like that? >> well, wiping down clothe with a baby wipe probably isn't going to work. if you are worried about it, you could bring your own towel or blanket to put over your seat. there have been reports of bedbugs on airlines, and, of

course, this is something that's become more and more common, even in hotels. what you can do, remember, bedbugs are visibility to the naked eye. 3 to 5 millimeters. look in the crevices. the best tip, don't use one of the blankets unless it's wrapped. you don't know who used that before you. so remember, bedbugs, other germs, can live in crevices and the blankets, make sure it's coming from a sealed bag before you use it. >> great information. i'm flying myself in a couple of days. i'm going to wrap myself entirely in towels. >> and i'm flying with you. >> you're not flying with me. >> congratulations and best of luck. >> thank you, travis. >> thank you so much. >> simple messieur measures kee on an airline. that's the message. >> go to our website and search

the great gender debate. why women can handle being single better than men according to some. we'll debate that with our relationship experts. first, a dramatic day in south carolina, voting in the republican primary is under way. newt gingrich has surged over the past few days, and now mitt romney long thought to be the front-runner in south carolina, and the race is neck and neck. dean, good morning to you. if gingrich wins today and the race comes down to him versus romney, what on ska sta kells do the candidates face inned weeks ahead? >> reporter: the inevitability construct that mitt romney's campaign has attempted to build. the idea that he's the guy and the rest of them are these sort of seven dwarfs, will fall apart. because romney will go from being potentially 3-0 to 1-2, because now we know that he lost

iowa, he won new hampshire, but a loss here in south carolina as we all know, south carolina winners here, usually go on to the gop nomination itself. if he loses here, this is trouble for him. but romney is well-equipped to handle a long campaign. good financing, great organization and that brings up the problem for gingrich, who has neither. he doesn't have a strong national organization. and he needs money. there is also the question of electability with gingrich and the republican party establishment which is clearly worried about that part of his makeup. even his friends call him volatile, and volatility is not something that a lot of people would like in a president. >> jeff glor. let's ask you, if it's tight today between gingrich and romney. and ron paul, and rick santorum have disappointing outings, what

happens to them moving forward? >> of course, you know, santorum and gingrich have been dividing the conservative vote. ron paul is in a different category al all by himself. he draws from a particular kind of voter. he will concentrate on caucus states, less so on primaries like the one we're having here, and the one later on in the month in florida. he will remain viable. santorum and gingrich, they have been dividing this conservative vote, and santorum i think, if he finishes third -- a distant third or even fourth, is going to run into problems, both of financing and, again, getting into that electability issue. and gingrich, of course, wants all of the conservatives to coalesce behind him. he wants to take on romney

one-on-one. >> thank you very much, dean. we'll see you later on tonight. newt gingrich has spent almost a week defending charges about his character. and his second wife, marianne, publicly leveled accusations that he asked for an open marriage to have a relationship with the woman that's now his third wife. he angrily denied the allegations during thursday night's gop debate. we are joined by the daughter of the former house speaker in south carolina. good morning, thank you for joining us. >> good morning. glad to be with up. >> jackie, you believe your father is a changed man at this point? >> well, i think he gave a very good answer on thursday night at the debate, and it's interesting to listen to the prior segment, talking about he's volatile, he -- what has he done? to me it's really interesting, because one of the things you can look at is his record as speaker. he led the contract with america in 1994, but butt when he was

elected, a lot of people said hold on, we don't need to pass it quite that rapidly, he kept his word to the american people. it took a lot of work and the pushback from the establishment. they know newt gingrich means real change in washington. >> even his friends, however, jackie, have talked about his volatile behavior, and they have his gop foes that continue to grab hold of that argument make it a centerpiece of this conversation. how do you get away from that? >> i think they are trying to make anything an argument that doesn't talk about policy if it's not one thing, it's another. the american people are watching how he behaves on the campaign trail. listening to him. having a dialog with him, and that's what is really resonating. they know he's the only candidate, including president barack obama, that is on the national level, balanced the budget, four years in a row the only time in my lifetime that has happened. he cut taxes, cut spending,

performed welfare, is he what we need right now to change washington. >> the debate in washington has been critical to this economy recently and there has been a lot of discord and inability to come to the table and make agreements across the lines of politics. do you believe that given the volatility that his friends, your father's friends said he represents that he can do that in an environment like this? >> absolutely. he is the only candidate, again, including president obama, that has a record of working with the opposite party in washington to actually govern. i'll give you an example. remember, when he was speaker, president clinton was the president and they understood that if things weren't scheduled on the house floor and all of the appropriations and money starts in the house. my father didn't make sure it went through it wouldn't happen if president clinton didn't sign it, it wouldn't happen. they worked together for there

different sides and governed the country, got things done. this is why he's such an incredible candidate to put up against barack obama, who is currently complaining he can't get anything done. the fact is, real leaders govern, don't complain, and that will be overwhelming this fall. >> jackie gingrich curbman, thank you for joining us this morning. thank you. >> thank you for having me. >> now for the rest of this morning's headlines, over to correspondent and morning news anchor betty nguyen, across the desk from me. >> here i am. good morning to you both. good morning to you. a day for digging out in the chicago area. the city got as much as nine inches of snow on friday. more than 800 flights canceled at chicago's two airports and the black hawks ha s hockey gam delayed an hour when the panthers' bus couldn't reach downtown. thousands remain without power this morning, it may be days

tomorrow is championship sunday and the war of words at a fevered pitch. the giants battle the 49ers. joining us our all-star cast. evans roberts in new york. rich of 98.5 the sports hub in boston. in san francisco, brandon tierney of 95.7 the game. and stan "the fan" charles at cbs radio in baltimore. good morning to all of you. >> good morning. >> how are you, buddy? >> i'm well, thank you very much. >> rich, let me start with you. the pats haven't beaten a team that finished .500 all season. does that change? >> this is the first real

challenge we had. a joke of a quarterback with a joke of a team last week. no foes last week, but, no, baltimore is a really good team, a great defense, one of the top in the league, but baltimore has yet to -- they only played one team in the regular season with a top ten offense and they got beaten by the chargers. so this is a game that is going to be a tight one. but i just don't see how you can stop tom brady and their two-headed monster with the tight ends. >> stan, i like the corduroy colts over the ravens shirts. "sports illustrated" asked if the ravens are too old? i imagine that didn't sit too well with ray lewis and company? >> a lot of internal discussion in baltimore. mike preston for "the baltimore sun" wrote a couple weeks ago a piece that called ray lewis and ed liabilities.

these are fwtwo of the greatest defenders in the national football league and two of the smartest and great film studiers and that's needed against tom brady. >> can they stop hernandez? >> i think they can -- they can stop them by putting pressure on tom brady, but more importantly, what was fascinating to me in studying this game is that the patriots who were known with the prolific passing offense, 11 times this year, rushed over 100 yards, four timeso orver 135 yards. if that continues, the ravens won't win the game. i don't see the patriots running with as much success. which sets up tom brady for down and distance which can be unpredictable. >> giants are killing teams. >> killing teams. hottest team in football. hear about the patriots, ravens, niners, the most balanced team right now in the playoffs, hottest team in the playoffs,

happens to be a team that only won nine games in the regular season, the giants. >> you think that will continue? >> absolutely. they need to run the football. they have a balance going. 8-1 when they rush over 100 yards and right now, they are playing as well as anybody and their quarterback is elite. he said it during the preseason, he's absolutely elite, and i think he did the giants a huge edge against the niners. >> he certainly has been playing elite. let's move to brandbrand oon in francisco. glory days back in san francisco? >> the glory days is about championships, and i think that -- that's what's been reminded, the younger generation been reminded the past couple of days, hey, guys, nfc title games are nice, but all about the five championships the niners have. what's interesting and evan makes a great point about eli. eli is a true elite superstar, one of the best, and he knows how to win on the road. but the thing about alex smith, the nation's going to see -- not

trying to position him anything more than he is, but rehabilitation under way for a while. no longer a liability, starting to win games for this team. i think it will be tough. but i like the giants. >> too much for alex smith? >> if you want to look at a game that probably encapsulates what the niners don't do well would be the ravens game from than thanksgivi thanksgiving. don't think the giants aren't licking their chops, looking at that film. and conversely, the offensive coordinate ore for san francisco knows if he doesn't fix those holes, smith will be hit early and often. >> i like giants 24-17. >> stan. >> i like the ravens 30-26, and the 49ers 43-19. >> rich. >> patriots 34, ravens 24. and then i got to agree. i'm scared of eli manning in the postseason.

giants 24 -- >> you better look scared. i have a simple question. who is your daddy? it's the giants. >> rematch. revenge is coming. 23-20. giants win by a field goal and probably beat the patriots again. >> you like patriots ravens in the super bowl? >> absolutely. >> we appreciate all of your time on this early saturday morning here. >> enjoy the game, guys. >> you bet. >> good stuff. championship sunday starts tomorrow at 3:00 right here on cbs, when pats take on the ravens, and then it's niners giants. big time. evan's ready. pumped. has his sweatpants on. up next from breaking a screwdriver to using one, some amazing household uses for vodka. imagine people might be finding uses for it tomorrow afternoon. watching "cbs this morning saturday." stick around. okay, team! after age 40, we can start losing muscle --

case. it can help you clean your faucet. >> hard water stains or -- you can see it shines up the chrome really well. it's because it's not water. it's alcohol. it will evaporate quickly and won't leave spots on anything. >> an interesting point. whatever you clean with water, have you streakage going on. vodka won't have that. is that important, that it's chrome and not other material? >> it's best on chrome. it will shine up the nicest. >> laundry. >> laundry, deodorize laundry. take a piece of laundry and spray it on, maybe hang it up and threat air out completely. it will take away the smell from the bacteria or other things that cause smell. >> put your dirty laundry in vodka and wash it in the washing machine? >> if you don't have time to do laundry, give it a quick air out. musty smells go away. >> you spray a little vodka on your clothes, and you are good for the day. and nobody in the office will

ask you about smelling like vodka? >> other clear alcohols dry with a smell and be sticky, but vodka won't. >> there's no sugar in it. these, which go that can remove rust? >> soak it for a few hours, leave it there for a little bit. take away the rust on screws and other things. a lot easier to get a screw in when it's not rusty. >> rust already coming out. soak it in vodka. >> soak for a few hours, and the rust wipes right off. >> good information. >> flowers. this one interests me. >> this one we love at "this old house." this is surprising. flowers will last longer if you put a teaspoon of sugar in there and vodka you don't want to do it directly in vodka. but sugar and a little vodka it prohibits the production of ethylene, which makes flowers wilt. the vodka say pause for theeth line. >> a nice kick for flowers and

you. >> you can clean tiles with it. >> you can. this is a great one. if you have mold or mildew on tiles, spray vodka on there, wipe it off and actually use a toothbrush to clean the grout lines, you will see it comes right out. a great cleaning agent. >> it's like alcohol. >> does it matter what type of vodka you use? >> you know, i would say don't use your top shelf brand. if you have a bottle left over from the holidays you won't drink. >> and probably skip the flavored stuff. >> not the flavored stuff. >> last piece of advice? >> for up positively gee that's been stained. lipstick, pens, grass stains it will get all of that out. again, spray it on and plblot. it gets food stains, lipstick, ink, grass stains. >> thank you so much. for more if to our website,

lawrence, author of "the yoga club" and sex therapist, dr. ian kerner. >> you will answer this unequivocally. >> there is. women are much better at being alone than men are. they tend to have more friends, so men don't make a plan. if a guy tends to be alone, he'll keep being alone. >> here is the thing. women like to think that men can't be on their own. and when we're in a relationship, we're okay letting you think that we don't know how to do the laundry, match our socks, we can't cook. >> the truth is, we don't know how to do the laundry that is true. >> my wife is away. i'm home with the two boys and the guys are doing just fine. >> and your mother is taking care of them. >> guys are just fine on their own. >> isn't it nice to have an open green room where you see the truth come out. >> when i first moved to new

york, i would go back home to my apartment, i moved out separate from my now fiance, and he was living in chicago. i would go home to my apartment and so excited to come home to this place, that i felt like i had built that. i don't know if that's associated with this, but it's a big deal. >> if you go to a single guy's apartment. he love s it, it's his man cave. socially, they don't call the neighbors and say i'm having a party, come over have aand have drink and when couples separate, men tend to be less separate. >> i know a lot of divorced men that are getting out there. they come back to the man cave, but out there having a lot of fun. one thing we shouldn't do with this study is glorify being alone. in the end, humans, like any other mammal, are social creatures. study after study supports the idea that men and women do better when they are married.

they live longer, they have someone to take care of them. >> even colh cohabitating. just as happy if you are married. >> everyone needs some alone time, right? >> alone time and being lonely are two different things. you do need more time alone, especially if you have a busy career, like ms. rebecca. most women are okay because they know how to surround themselves in social environments, and when things go wrong, they know how to find the resources to help them feel better. women have relationships face to face. we practice being emotional with each other. men have relationships side by side. >> we definitely don't talk. we don't practice that, do we, rebecca? >> never, never. >> we're happy to have another guy come over sit with us on the couch and watch the game, have a hamburger. >> who is making those plans? >> shooting an e-mail, getting together? >> coming? i'm coming. >> then when they are there,
