THIS WEEKEND ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS
ON SATURDAY, JEFF GLOR ANCHORS A WEST COAST ONLY BROADCAST FROM NEW YORK
In addition to coverage of the latest news, here are some of the stories we are working on: MOBILE COMMERCE -- This year, more companies will rely on social networking and mobile devices to spur sales, because more shoppers are researching prices on their phones and sharing deals with friends on sites such as Facebook. Amazon.com just launched an application on Apple's iPhone that it said allows shoppers to scan prices on a given item in brick-and-mortar stores, compare with prices on its own website and then gives them the option to instantly order the item through Amazon. Walmart.com also released an iPhone app geared to holiday gift giving. CBS News Correspondent Elaine Quijano reports. THE SAVORY COLLECTION -- In the late 1930s, Bill Savory, a young audio engineer, recorded a series of live radio broadcasts that were heard only once. Savory worked for Columbia records with legends like Benny Goodman. His son found the recordings in a garage after his father died in 2004. Seventy years had taken a toll; water damage ruined 25 % of the discs and about half will never sound as good as the originals. But as CBS News Business and Economics Correspondent Anthony Mason reports, these audio treasures, at first thought worthless, are now being painstakingly restored one by one. ON SUNDAY, RUSS MITCHELL ANCHORS FROM NEW YORK
UNSOLVED MURDERS -- In 2004, police in Chicago solved 61% of all homicides; in 2009, the rate had dropped to 37% - due largely to a lack of cooperation from key witnesses. It's another example of a code of silence based on fear of retribution, or, as some advocates claim, distrust of the police. CBS News Correspondent Cynthia Bowers examines the problem. THE NEW JOURNALISM? -- Russ Mitchell reports on a new AOL start-up called "Patch," a network of local online sites across America covering everything from politics, fires, and business to high school football. Patch expects to hire 800 journalists in 2010. Contrast that with the traditional newspaper industry... which lost 13,500 jobs between 2007 and 2009. While seemingly a boon to the economy, Patch does have its critics; they have been accused of focusing on creating content that attracts advertisers and shying away from controversial stories.

SATURDAY ON 48 HOURS MYSTERY, 10pmET/9CT
Here's an early preview of what's coming up on 48 HOURS MYSTERY: "Shootout at the Hills" from Correspondent Richard Schlesinger Charlene Hill and her husband Danny seemed to have it all -- a 25 year marriage, three kids, a multi-million dollar business and a beautiful home near Houston, TX. But, according to Charlene, it was all a facade. She claimed that for many years since their relationship began in the 1980's, she was the victim in an abusive marriage. Charlene says that Danny had a horrible temper, and would often take things out on her -- punching and slapping her, even tying her to a chair and threatening to kill her. Things got even worse, according to Charlene, after Danny was badly hurt in a motorcycle accident. Danny suffered critical brain injuries and was never the same. The abuse sent Charlene to the emergency room several times, but she never pressed charges. On the night of November 14, 2006, Charlene says Danny arrived home from work angry and it escalated when the couple began arguing in their bedroom. Charlene says Danny tried to attack her, so she grabbed her gun and shot him 3 times. Soon after his death, people started doubting Charlene's story -- even their own children, Jamie and Jeremy. They say that they knew their father was abusive, but that their mother was often the instigator. The kids also said that Charlene bought a gun just weeks before Danny was killed. Even Danny's mother Barbara claims that Charlene had a motive for killing Danny -- to get control of their multi-million dollar estate. Now, Charlene is on trial for murder, and members of her own family are taking the stand against her. Is she guilty of murdering her husband? Or was she only trying to protect herself? Richard Schlesinger investigates this week's 48 Hours Mystery "Shootout at the Hills." If you would like more information, please click on the following address and e-mail us at: 48hours@cbsnews.com
