TONIGHT ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS
Here’s an early look at what we are working on for tonight’s broadcast of The CBS Evening News from Early Show Anchor Russ Mitchell, in for Anchor and Managing Editor, Katie Couric
Good afternoon, this is Russ Mitchell in tonight for Katie Couric
Coming up on tonight’s broadcast. . . bargain-hunters hit the stores early to take advantage of drastic price cuts offered by retailers desperate to get rid of old merchandise Michelle Miller will have that part of the story. But, do retailers actually make money when they cut prices 50, 60, 70 percent? Bill Whitaker will examine how they can afford to stay in business with such big discounts.
Next, we turn to the winter weather. Another storm is blanketing the west with up to twenty inches of snow. Bianca Solorzano will take a look.
Also tonight, the Pentagon says one in five service members who return from Iraq or Afghanistan suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. But even more troubling is the number of suicides: Last year, alone, 115 service members committed suicide. What does the military need to do to reverse this trend? Kimberly Dozier reports.
Plus, technology 101. Daniel Sieberg gets in touch, literally, with the hottest tech toys of 2008.
Finally, he lost his legs...and portions of both arms when he was just a little boy, but that hasn't stopped a very determined young man from becoming a top wrestler and one of the best high school athletes you've ever seen. Steve Hartman will bring us an encore of an inspiring Assignment America.
I’ll see you tonight. And have a great weekend,
Russ

THIS WEEKEND ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS

CHARTER MODEL Charter schools like Chicago’s Rauner Prep have shown incredible results. 90% of students graduate and 8 out of 10 go on to higher education. It’s the kind of success that has many advocates encouraging traditional public schools to adopt them as a model. Are they the solution to fixing America’s ailing education system? Cynthia Bowers reports.
LONGEST RUN Ever go to a musical and get a song from the show stuck in your head? What if you'd been playing the same songs every night -- and if the play was the longest running musical on Broadway? Russ Mitchell has an exclusive look inside the pit at "The Phantom of the Opera."
SUNDAY: Due to Sports Programming, there is only a West Coast edition of the Sunday Evening News. Priya David anchors from New York.
PEER-TO-PEER Internet-based peer-to-peer lending sites match people who need a loan with dozens or hundreds of strangers willing to lend amounts as small as $50. The sites have become even more popular as credit has dried up for small borrowers. There are no guarantees that loans will be paid back, but the sites claim good returns with low default rates. Priya David reports.
CHINA LUXURYFor the world’s luxury brands the show must go on... even in the midst of a global recession. The economic downturn that has hit China hard did nothing to dim the sparkle at Versace's first Chinese runway show. High-end dealers are still peddling diamond-encrusted pots and custom cars, hoping shoppers from Beijing to Shanghai will carry luxury labels through a global recession. Celia Hatton reports.
