good-bye. a huge drug bust. australian navy seized $700 million worth of heroin. a pope with the chocolate version of himself at the vatican, 1.5 tons of cocoa. >> oh, that? the beetles arrived in america 50 years ago today. >> here is the americans. >> i'm john. >> you're john. >> john, here is the american public, 40 million american viewers. >> looks like just one man to me. >> and all that matters. >> controversial comments from vice president biden. >> if i took you and blindfolded you and took you to laguardia in new york, you would think, i must be in some third world country. i'm not joking. over the years people wanted to know whether letterman and i actually dislike each other. it's not true. we like each other. we've had a long relationship. >> if i was jay leno and i was retiring, you know what i would do? i'd go out and buy myself a car. >> this morning's eye-opener it presented by toyota.

let's go places. welcome to "cbss this morning." good morning, norah. >> good morning, charlie. the olympics are starting. >> the olympics have begun. as you wake up in the west russia is taking its place in the world spotlight. the opening ceremony of the 2014 winter olympics begins this morning atin sochi. russia is holding its first ever winter games, the most expensive in history. >> dozens of world leaders are expected to attend today's security, extremely heavy security because of terror threats. mark philips is in sochi where he spoke this morning with a top u.s. official at the games. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, norah, good morning charlie. well, the olympics this is it security anti-gay laws and even sports. it's all happening. >> let the games begin. >> reporter: janet napolitano former secretary of homeland security here as head of the

official u.s. delegation. in fact the games have already begun. competitions have started. the skater twirling, the boarders doing what boarders do the skiers training on the new runs here. that's perennial u.s. medal hopeful bode miller. the athletic component of the games, which is after all what it's about are under way and the russian olympic organizers all the way up to vladimir putin hopes this stuff now becomes the xoer story of their games. but the other stuff won't go away. the political games continue too. napolitano heads a delegation with a message. it contains at least two openly gay former competitors, hockey player caitlin kay hoe and skater brian boy thanh know. and they're not just here because they're former olympians. they were chosen because of u.s. distaste for russia's controversial anti-gay law. >> everyone's sexuality is a personal journey everyone travels. i think for athletes right now it's about the competition,

their focus, going to do their best. >> the fact there are at least two gay people on the delegation, is that a message being sent to the russians? >> well, that's a message i think is an obvious one that we are an open and tolerant country. >> reporter: security is still something the russians are clearly taking seriously as the games opening draws near. and it's everywhere, sometimes in the open sometimes hidden. and, of course there's the current warning about the threat of bomb material being smuggled on planes in toothpaste tubes. did you bring toothpaste? >> yes. anytime you have a major international event, there are security issues. >> reporter: president obama told nbc he was satisfied with sochi's security. >> i think the russians have an enormous stake obviously in preventing any kind of terrorist act or violence at these venues and they have put a lot of

resources into it. we're in constant communications with them. >> reporter: and a curious twist on the security story today as a russian official saying they have evidence that people were leaving their showers running too long posing questions as where the cameras were. it was later explained, norah and charlie, as a mistranslation. >> okay. mark, thank you. and now to this morning's big storm cleanup in the eastern u.s., more than 350,000 homes and businesses in pennsylvania and maryland still have no electricity. the cold weather is slowing down power crews. officials warn many customers won't see the lights come on until this weekend. terrell brown is in jenkintown philadelphia just north of philadelphia. >> reporter: good morning, the governor of pennsylvania has compared the effort to get the lights back on to that of superstorm sandy. but icy conditions it is 18 degrees out here this morning. along with issues like this, downed trees, this one almost

out into the roadway, always all of that making the job is very tough for power crews. utility crews from as far away as arkansas have made their way to the east coast trying to restore power from maryland to pennsylvania's main lines. two days after freezing rain and sleet toppled trees across the region. record setting frigid temperatures and snowfall are causing record-breaking cleanup costs along the eastern seaboard. in parts of maine where snowfall is nearing 17 inches above average for this time of year crews are out in full force even as funds dwindle. >> we're probably at 90% on overtime. on salt budget we got a couple hundred ton left probably of money. sand we're over. >> reporter: though the worst of this storm is over many are still dealing with its aftermath. in columbus, ohio, slick roads caused a salt truck driver to lose control of his vehicle, left dangling from an

embankment. in pennsylvania firefighters responded to dozens of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning when homeowners resorted to using gas grills and generators to stay warm. franklin james has been in the dark for three days. >> in order to breathe properly and everything i have to be functioning 24/7 and i'm hooked up at home to a model powered by electricity. >> reporter: with only enough battery power for two days he's been staying at abbington memorial hospital. >> as soon as i have the power back on, i'll be heading home. >> reporter: we're told that the temperatures will remain right around the freezing mark over the next few days. we're also told by power crews that most of that electricity should be restored by sunday. but more snow is in the forecast for this weekend, charlie and norah. >> terrell thanks. the weather changing in the west, a rare snowstorm pounded portland, oregon yesterday with up to a foot of snow. parts of interstate 5 were closed for several hours because of accidents.

more snow is expected today. many schools are closed. that same system is bringing much-needed rain and snow to california, a downpour hit san francisco yesterday just before dawn. it tied up traffic and caused minor flooding the rain brought a little relief to a region that's having its driest winter in memory. forecasters predict a bigger storm moving in tonight. megan glaros of wbbm is tracking that and another threat facing the east. >> good morning. talking about a system in fact several systems, kwom coming onshore between now and the end of the weekend for the west likely totalling more than 7 inches inches of rainfall in the north bay of san francisco and 2 to 6 inches of snow in portland oregon associated with what's called the pineapple express, an atmospheric river of moisture that extends from hawaii to the pacific coastline, it will be in place for several days, helping with the drought but certainly not ending it. by the way, as the storms push

eastward, we expect the storms to stay separate now, meaning we will likely not see a monster storm for the northeast going into the end of the weekend. but there will be periods of snow and minor snow for the midwest, which will also deal with bitter cold again today, windchill advisories for folks in the great plains and midwest this morning. this morning, hope is fading for a broad overhaul of the nation's immigration system. house speaker john boehner says he can't see a path forward. he blames president obama for the stalemate and talks about what is next. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you and our viewers in the west. this came as something of a surprise because speaker boehner and just about everyone else on the hill has been saying that if congress is going to get anything big done this year, it will be immigration reform. but now the speaker says his party may be too mistrustful of the president to move forward. just one week after unveiling his road map for immigration reform, house speaker john boehner announced the push for

reform was in trouble because his republican members don't trust the president. >> now he's running around the country telling everyone that he's going to keep acting on his own. keeps talking about his phone and his pen. and he's feeding more distrust about whether he's committed to the rule of law. >> reporter: boehner was referring to this warning the president made to a gridlocked congress. >> i've got a pen, and i've got a phone. i can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive action and administrative actions that move the ball forward. >> reporter: boehner says his members worry the white house would enforce a new immigration law selectively granting legal status to the nation's 11 million undocumented workers without securing the borders. other republicans just think the timing is wrong, that the issue will divide their party in an election year. >> i think it's a mistake for us to have an internal battle in the republican party this year about immigration reform. i do think that we need to

address the issue. >> reporter: but new york democrat chuck schumer, whose bipartisan bill passed the senate seven months ago, said he still thinks boehner can get his members on board. >> i still hold optimism that we will get this done but i don't think what speaker boehner said is any different than what he said before. and i know it's his belief, that it's going to be very very hard to do. >> reporter: other democrats were not as diplomatic. they say that the speaker is blaming the president for deep and longstanding divisions within his own party on this issue. norah and xharlly? >> thank you very much. the labor department just released another jobs report with disappointing numbers. employers added 113,000 jobs in january for the second straight month, this is less than economists predicted. but the unemployment rate fell 0.1% to 6.6% the lowest in five years. on wall street twitter is up at this hour the social media giant hopes to recover after losing $8 billion in value

yesterday. investors were spooked by a new earnings report that revealed slow growth. >> the stock lost almost 16 points thursday closing just above $50 a share. that is a 24% plunge. twitter is based in san francisco where we're joined by melody. >> good morning. >> what are the concerns about twitter? >> so there was good news and bad news yesterday. and the bad news overwhelmed the good news. the good news was the company actually became profitable. very few people were expecting that. overall, analysts thought they'd lose 2 cents a share. they made 2 cents a share. that was great. the bad news is that the growth is slowing and user engagement actually fell. that was not expected, and that spooked investors. >> so is that an indication of the future of twitter? >> well i think they've admitted some challenges that they've had in terms of user friendliness.

it's not the easiest platform to use. they understand that. and they understand also that if they're going to be this hot growth stock they have to grow. they can't have this growth where year over year their users were up 30% but last quarter only up 4%. that's not great. so they've got a lot of work to do. >> you know, facebook went through some similar difficulties and then recovered. can twitter recover? >> well we've seen this tech crash movie so many times. i mean it's like facebook was one. there were many netflix, zinga, groupon. you could go on and on. of course twitter can recover. the big question is is it a buzz model or a business model? and what i mean by that they really have had all this hype around them. their investor base is largely individual investors that i think bought into the hype thinking it's the next apple or facebook and maybe not necessarily understanding some of the issues that the company has. anything is possible in the tech world.

we've learned that before. but we'll have to wait and see on this one. >> melody good to see you. thanks so much. and a private funeral will be held today in new york city for actor philip seymour hoffman. on thursday family and celebrities like amy adams and cate blanchette attended his wake. hoffman was found dead sunday from a suspected drug overdose. autopsy results remain inconclusive. a public memorial service for hoffman is planned later this month. this morning jay leno starts a new chapter in his life. he offered a bittersweet fair quell to "the tonight show" last night. tracy looked at the on-again/off-again late night run officially now over. >> i don't like good-byes. nbc does. >> even on his last broadcast, jay leno could not resist taking a parting shot at the network that made him rich and famous. >> see i don't need to get fired three times. i get the hint. >> reporter: leno's final guest was billy crystal, his first guest 22 years ago. >> please say hello, ladies and

gentlemen, to the shut your vent trap family singers. ♪ so long farewell we watch you and we're weary ♪ many celebrities came to sing good-bye ♪ so long farewell you really raised the bar ♪ >> reporter: leno became a fixture in america's bedrooms and essentially number one in the late night ratings since 1995. now nbc is passing the late night torch to 39-year-old jimmy fallon. his mission is to attract younger viewers. ♪ raised down in africa ♪ >> reporter: the tonight show has been taped here in burbank, california, for more than 40 years, but jimmy fallon lives in new york and he's bringing the show back to the city where it all began in 1954. johnny carson moved the tonight show to california. leno remaced him in 1992

setting up a decades-long grudge match with david letterman who was passed over for the job. he moved to cbs and launched his own successful late night franchise. he graciously wished leno farewell. >> congratulations on a wonderful run, and i'll tell you something something something. >> reporter: this is leno's second tonight show good-bye. he was it famously pushed off the show in 2009 when conan o'brien took over. leno took a hit on his copious chin in 2010 when many blamed him for stealing back "the tonight show" when the ratings challenged o'brien who is now on cbs. >> that's right, nbc has the olympics. it's a big deal. nbc will finally get to show somebody who's okay with passing the torch. >> reporter: but at the end, alone at his desk leno got emotional. >> you folks have been just incredibly loyal.

we wouldn't be on the air without you people. this has been the greatest 22 years of my life. ♪ good-bye ♪ >> reporter: for cbs this morning, ben tracy, burbank, california. >> very nice. you know jay didn't want to go but he went out on top. and he's in full praise of his successor. >> absolutely. and i don't think this is the end of jay leno. >> in fact, i think he's working tonight in florida. time to show you some of this morning's headlines around the globe. the "new york times" looks at another criminal conviction in one of the largest insider trader schemes ever. a former portfolio manager was found guilty thursday. he used confidential information from drugmakers to help sac earn $275 million. the "wall street journal" looks at how target's massive data breach began. hack hes apparently gained

. mrs. linda marie macdonald is your realtime captioner. good morning, everyone. 7:26 on your friday. i'm frank mallicoat. some headlines now around the bay. state lawmakers will unveil a new bill today aimed at cutting down on cell phone thefts. the law would require all phones to have a kill switch a feature that can turn the phone off if stolen. a funeral will be held today for 17-year-old justice toliver shot in oakland last month. her 14-year-old brother charged with killing her during a dispute over laundry. the family is trying to raise $10,000 for her funeral. several bay area cities handing out sandbags with flooding expected later today. redwood city and oakland among those with free sandbags ready to pick up. and the weather is about to change. isn't it, lawrence? >> yeah, a whole lot. in any event, we're starting to see a few scattered showers beginning to show up around the

bay area. out the door we go, over sfo no delays being reported there. that's a surprise. but that may change as we head throughout the weekend. all right. storm clouds now just gathering. we can see the first part of the storm system once it gets going it's not going to let up until sunday night. you see some of the showers there showing up on our hi-def doppler radar in parts of the north bay. that will be sliding to the south throughout the day and then looks like the temperatures going to be mainly in the 50s. i think out toward the weekend expecting heavy rainfall maybe some parts of the north bay picking upwards of 5 to 7" of rain. much less toward the south bay. we are going to check out your traffic when we come back.

and more proof this winter isn't fun for everyone. a man walking in brooklyn got hit by the wrath of a snowplow wednesday. he's okay, but then a second blast knocks him over. look at that. and buries him in a wall of white. he was a little wobbly but escaped in one piece. just probably a little bit wet. >> not a good day for him. >> not a good day. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." coming up in this half hour russia is accused of hitting a new low as a private call between top american diplomats ended up on the internet. what was said left the united states government both embarrassed and angry. plus vice president joe biden takes aim at an american airport. see how he is trashing one of the biggest terminals in the nation. is it really so far behind that

it resembles in his words a third world country? that's ahead. early last year, the fda made a surprising announcement. it cut the recommended dose of the nation's most popular sleep drug, ambien, by half. but only for women. leslie stahl learned how much different men and women are when it comes to medicine. here is a preview of her report. >> we have generated just a ton of information that suggests that there's sex differences everywhere. >> reporter: larry cahill, a neuroscientist at the university of california irvine used to share his field's assumption that male and females outside the reproductive system were fundamentally the same. but he's changed his outlook 180 degrees. ambien, he says, is a case in point. >> ambien prescribed 40 million times just last year. approved 20 years ago. we're only now finding out that women have been prescribed a

dose of twice as high as they need. >> that is a textbook example of what's wrong. how did it happen that for 20-some years women, millions of them, were essentially overdosing on ambien? >> reporter: fda says it made a change after new driving simulation studies showed what amount of ambien in the blood the next morning could be dangerous for driving. dr. sandra kweeter, deputy director of the fda's office of new drugs, says only then did they realize women could be taking too much. since women metabolize the drug differently than men. so if i took ambien and my brother took the same dose probably the maximum level of drug in my blood would be 45% higher than his maximum blood level. >> reporter: now, that sounds

substantial. >> it is substantial. >> reporter: if science got ambien so wrong, does that tell you that we really need to go back and review -- >> yes. >> reporter: what, everything? >> pretty much everything, yeah. because once you see this difference and that difference and that difference and that difference and that difference and you see these things everywhere, you go wait a minute, so the assumption we're making, that it really doesn't matter, sex, is not a valid assumption. it may not matter. it may matter hugely. it may flip your results on their head and you don't know. so what happens is you start to realize, wow, the status quo is not okay. the way we're doing business has to change. >> leslie stahl is with us. good morning. >> good morning, charlie. >> this is interesting. what surprised you most of all the things you found out? >> i guess the big thing is how pervasive the differences between men and women are. it's not just that we metabolize medicine differently. our lungs are different. our cells are different. our skin is different.

we used to think it was just the gynecology areas, the bikini medicine as they called it but now we're learning that we are pervasively different at every level. >> why didn't we know this before? >> that's a great question. because research -- and it still is this way -- done originally on animals, they use only male animals. to this day. now, they used to only have males in the human studies but now they have females in the human studies. however, instead of seeing how women react versus men, they put them all together and take the average. >> you know, leslie, i remember when dr. bernadine healey took over the nih and said with all the taxpayer money we're only doing tests on males? >> can you believe we haven't figured out that if you put the women in you should be looking at them separately. we don't. >> and it even includes in your point aspirin.

we're all told very frequently to take an aspirin every night at bed. that affects men and women differently, right? >> well, what larry cahill just said is we don't know. and the fda says they are not going to go back and look at all the other drugs. they're going to go back and look at other sleeping medications but not everything else on the shelf right now. and think about how much that would cost. think about how many medications there are. >> leslie if we metabolize ambien differently, do we metabolize staten differently? i mean the list could go on and on because men and women are taking the same amount when it comes to lipitor and other pills. >> we don't know. larry cahill says we should look. but they're not going to. >> why wouldn't they? >> because it's too expensive. it's ridiculous how many medications are on the market. it's not just statens. it's antidepressants, everything. >> and men may be taking too

little. >> exactly. they take the average so it's big. and the differences, as i say, are everywhere. they're finding our hearts -- we know heart attacks are different. lungs are different. skin is different. >> can you imagine some kind of pressure developing forcing the fda to go ahead with more change? >> just try to think about -- i have no idea how many medications there are on the market but there's a medicine for every organ and every disease. it would be -- >> you would think also that there might be a market incentive for drug companies to do this. then they could market more this is a drug specifically for women and a drug specifically for men. >> from now on from this point forward, they will insist on separate -- the fda will insist for future drugs. it will get people talking. >> really interesting. you can see leslie's full report this sunday night on "60 minutes". and this morning a top state department official is

downplaying the impact of a controversial phone call her conversation criticizing european officials secretly recorded and posted online. the diplomat calls the leak pretty impressive trade craft and says it won't amount to much. but as margaret brennan reports the recording is feeding tension between the u.s. and russia. margaret is at the state department. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, norah, gayle and charlie. well, this undiplomatic language from one of america's top diplomats is drawing attention to an east/west struggle in ukraine where the masses are protesting against russia and moscow is pointing to the u.s. as foe meanting a coup. it's a cold war-style blame game. >> i think we're in play. >> reporter: the recording first surfaced on youtube three days ago. it reveals a private phone call between victoria newland and assistant secretary of state and the u.s. ambassador to ukraine. the two appear to detail the

u.s. strategy for political transition in ukraine, a former soviet republic. >> dpif it does start to gain altitude, the russians will work behind the scenes. >> reporter: since a political crisis erupted last fall russia, the u.s. and the european union have been jockeying for influence. the eu has been slow to broker a solution. during the call, newland is blunt. >> and [ bleep ] the eu. >> reporter: state department spokeswoman jen stockey would not confirm that the recording was aweuthentic but has said new larnd has apologized. >> i didn't say it was inauthentic. we can leave it at that. >> reporter: she then suggested that russia played a role in the unauthorized recording, which was posted on this twitter account wednesday by an aide to a high ranking russian official. >> well certainly we think this is a new low in russian trade craft in terms of publicizing, posting. >> reporter: white house spokesman jay carney also pointed a finger at the kremlin.

>> since the video was first noted and tweeted out by the russian government i think it says something about russia's role. i'm just noting that they tweet td out. >> russia denies a role but points to this tape as proof that the u.s. is far more involved in ukraine than it likes to admit. for its part the eu is not commenting on a similar recording that surfaced in which its top official criticizes the u.s. >> margaret brennan, thank you it. tens of millions of people walk through its doors every year, but this morning one airport just isn't feeling the love. >> vice president joe biden taking a swipe at one of the nation's busiest airports calling it a third world country. you can see why that remark is sparking a debate. that story is coming up. that's sparking. that's coming up.

this must be america. it's a modern airport. if i took you and blindfolded you and took you to laguardia airport in new york you must think, i must be in some third world country. i'm not joking. >> reporter: that struck a nerve and sparked a debate about an airport that is a destination for 25 million travelers every year. 75-year-old laguardia airport is dilapidated, cramped and in some areas long overdue for a makeover. the government agency overseeing the airport says a face-lift is coming. in a statement, the port authority of new york and new jersey said, we are fast-tracking efforts that have lagged for more than a decade in investing $3.6 billion to build a new central terminal building at laguardia airport that will provide passengers with a world class determineterminal. even those improvements may not be enough. there is no direct rail service to the airport, although it sits less than ten miles from times square. and in a city where small spaces

are a way of life it's only 680 acres. in contrast john f. kennedy international airport covers almost 5,000 acres. >> it's limited real estate. they can't expand it. they can't park any more planes there. you have a problem at laguardia. it becomes a problem for the rest of the country very quickly. >> reporter: laguardia's woes are indicative of a larger issue. america's airports are old. the newest one is in denver, and it opened almost 20 years ago. and travelers have noticed. overseas airports dominated a recent survey of the world's best, the highest ranked u.s. facility was cincinnati's at number 30. >> just in the last decade, the united states has fallen 20 spots when it comes to the quality of infrastructure in america. it's embarrassing and it's stupid. >> reporter: the vice president wasn't just singling out the nation's airports. he was also talking about upgrades to the rail system and the ports. he believes these infrastructure

upgrades are a key to economic growth. charlie norah gayle? >> it's not only airports, the top 25 airports in the world, they don't have one u.s. airport on that list, but railway. the amtrak between washington and new york runs at 70 miles an hour. the one in france that runs between paris and -- is 140 miles an hour. >> japan, 200 miles an hour. >> people who have been to laguardia might say the vice president is making a point. hopefully somebody is listenin get ready heavy rainfall is headed our way. our hi-def doppler radar already tracking some rainfall. so far, it has been fairly light this morning. but you see a big batch that is about to move onshore. that would be picking up and headed south throughout the day today. so the temperatures are going to stay very mild. this subtropical moisture, so a lot of rain mild temperatures in the 50s. this weekend heavy rainfall expected mainly north of the golden gate bridge. rain continuing through sunday.

think, is it a stroke. can it be prevented? >> strokes can be prevented. >> they can. >> the good news is you really have to know your risk factors and modify them appropriately. that's why this is very exciting, these guidelines because it empowers women to know what risk factors they may have. >> prevent it how though? >> well, let's say that you decide that you want to use oral contraceptive therapy. it really is the time to talk your doctor about the risks. if you have high blood pressure, it's really not a good choice or if you have a family history of blood clotting problems. it's time to discuss with your doctors with regard to your risk. >> if you're having a stroke the most important thing you can do is get in touch with a doctor. >> go to the emergency room it. we say with a stroke time is brain. the minute the brain isn't getting enough blood flow, that part of the brain can be injured
